This Full Moon is also called the Moon of Awakening or Resurrection. Everything in Nature is awakening and rising. Greenery has come back everywhere, young animals, birds. Butterflies are back again. Bees are flying from here to there for their pollen. Everything breathes activeness and energy and business.
Spring time!
So happy! I love this time. The huzzbuzz gives me energy and everything cannot go fast enough for me. As a true Aries I sometimes really have to restrain myself not to go too fast and that is not easy, at times a real challenge. I become cranky and feel rushed, because it is not going the way I like it. My flow and focus are interrupted and yes, that really does something to me. By focusing mainly on and trusting the natural processes, the Aries in me becomes the Lamb again and I start playing instead of pushing;) Easy? Anything but! Fortunately there is Willow and Taurus / Cow who will help me with that this month.
The Willow
This beautiful Grande Dame stands for intuition and feelings. She asks you to make contact with your intuition and your feelings, because that will give you new insights and empowerment. If you find this difficult, take a look around how Nature works at the moment. If you notice something, ask yourself why you notice that at that specific moment, what does it mean to you, what were you thinking when you spotted it and whether you can make a link to something that you are currently working on in your life. The Willow also asks you to stand firmly with both feet on Mother Earth, so you won’t be overwhelmed by emotions, feelings or by a current, so that you become unbalanced. Just look at the Willow, she is standing on the waterline, her long branches reach to the water and sometimes lie in the water. But no matter what the flow of the water is, she stays firmly in place. When you put a branch of the Willow in the ground, it grows into a new tree. As a result, the Willow also symbolizes death and rebirth. Willow energy gives you the power to live with confidence, to trust your own abilities and your own talents and qualities.
Taurus and Cow
The Cow with its beautiful print that sometimes resembles a world map is traditionally honoured, because it takes care of, reinforces, guides and carries people. Cow asks you this Moon Period to go back to the source within yourself that feeds and cares for you. When you reconnect yourself to that source within, you will heal yourself, put an end to what you are missing and you will become happy in the here and now. Go to your inner meadow, rest, ruminate, feed and recharge yourself. You have creative potential, express your creativity and show the world your ideas. Cow asks if she can guide you during this Moon Period to return to your own nature, so that you can regain the power within yourself and grow into the next phase of your spiral of life.
Taurus stands next to Cow. Female and male energy or Yin and Yang side by side. Bull is a symbol of fertility and virility, prosperity and abundance, potential and prosperity. He points out that that true wealth can only be found in the heart and soul. He also wants to tell you that it sometimes takes some time to reap the rewards of your hard work. Trust in the natural processes. If you have to work long-term in difficult circumstances to reach your goals, Taurus will help you to do this without becoming exhausted or becoming depressed.
What thoughts could keep you occupied this Full Moon:
- Do I focus on what I want?
- Where do I want to grow? Or what do I want to grow?
- What do I have to let go in order to grow?
- Do I have faith in my plans?
- What can I do to make my plans a success?
In response to this, the Willow asks you this Moon Period: “What would you like to hang in the Willows?” What would you like to let go? What is keeping you from realising your plans? Maintaining your focus, growing or trusting your self-wisdom and self-worth? What emotions may be released so that they can be processed and released?
Let go what’s holding you back and release your wishes in a Full Moon Ritual
Your own Moon Ritual
Go outside this Full Moon and sit under the Full Moon Light. Make a fire in a safe way, for example in a fire bowl or a patio fireplace. Grab a pen and paper and write down what no longer serves you, what holds you back or what does not work anymor. When your list is complete in your opinion, throw it in the fire and see everything you want to let go, go literally up in smoke. You got rid of it. Feel that liberating feeling and enjoy it. Then take a new paper and write down for yourself where you would like your focus to be, what you would like to grow, what plans you would like to realize and what you could do to make those plans succeed. When your list is complete in your opinion, throw it in the fire. Look at how your wishes are taken away by the smoke and the wind, so that they can land in places where it can to help you.
Do you have questions about the Moon Ritual? Or would you like some insights or answers to the questions you are dealing with? Don’t keep walking around with them, but make an appointment with me. I will gladly help you further.
That you may have a beautiful Full Moon of awakening and empowerment!
With love,
