The full moon last night was so powerful and bright. The whole sky was lit up despite the layers of clouds even past midnight. I almost didn't believe the clock! Within a few hours, those same clouds were blown away by the strong wind and the sky became so clear! The whole energy was just so beautiful and striking, yet so, so gentle. I stayed up to watch it for so long. It was like the moon was whispering that everything that is happening now is happening for a reason, but that it will all be okay in the end. A promise, it spoke of good coming to those who have waited, enduring and patient, for so long.
Obviously, I immediately placed my main tarot deck, several of my favorite crystals, an anointed green spell candle, my pendant, and my mother's serpentine anklet out to charge in the moon's empowered light. I also slept soundly, allowing the light to shine on my bare skin to charge me as well, after resting my eyes on its grace for many hours into the night.
Now, this morning, I awoke to the birds singing and the first rays of sunlight I've seen in over a week. The second, waning, phase of this moon's cycle will most likely hold an energy akin to reward and harvest. But it won't be a harvest from hard work, it feels more like a harvest of rest. The seemingly endless days of bidding my time and healing will bear fruit. This new moon will be aimed toward a true new beginning, its energy fully and purely aligned with its phase for the first time in awhile.
At least, that's the energy I got from the full moon here. What energy did you gain this month?
