The Hunters Moon
When: October 20, 2021
With full moons being a time of completion we can expect new opportunities with the beginning of a new cycle. This full moon is opposite Mars and squares Pluto.
You may be asking, “what makes this full moon unique and what can we expect?” Well, with Aries always striving to feel like they’ve “won” and having bold/assertive energy, this full moon will fuel our inner “go getter”. As the Retrograde ends, we all can now breathe and welcome in our blessings and have clarity. Although all signs are under the influence of the full moon, this one will especially affect Aries, Libra (its opposite/sister sign), Cancer and Capricorn the most.
What should we watch out for during this time? Full moon cycles amplify intuition/psychic abilities as well as emotions. This cycle will amplify the need to be assertive and impulsive in addition to magnifying anger and aggression. So you may want to steer clear of situations leading to arguments as they can escalate quickly during this time. On a positive note, this full moon is also said to open up new career paths and return money that has been spent 10x fold.
Now that we’ve gone over what this full moon means, let's discuss full moon rituals. During the moon cycles, we should all take advantage and really take in the lessons she has for us. I personally like to do my own full moon rituals during this time. Since this is a time to release what no longer serves us, I write what I want to let go on a piece of paper and burn. It’s so empowering and feels like a huge relief as it burns. I also meditate and leave my crystals out to charge under the moon's light. For cleansing, I like to either take a shower with GemHealings body scrub or take a cleansing bath with their bath soak. both products are made using dead sea salt, Himalayan sea salt, and flowers. The salts previously mentioned help to draw impurities out of the skin and are great for exfoliating the skin while also cleansing the spirit.
What are some rituals you love to do for the full moon and what effects do you feel from this new moon? 🌕
