Wishing everyone an enchanted full moon, and a magical, light-filled month ahead. May the coming lunar phase be filled with love, joy and peace, and the inspiration and dedication to make all your dreams comes true xx

moonlight_freshThe full moon rises as the sun sets, which is why it’s usually so obvious and clearly seen, because it sails across the sky all night, contrasting with the velvety blackness, before setting around dawn, just as the sun is rising. I say usually because tonight it totally hid from us. The sky was beautifully blue, after another horribly hot day, but just before the moon was going to make its grand entrance, the clouds rushed in, all huge and fluffy and white at first, then black as thunder. Which was absolutely beautiful in its own way…

Magically, the three days of the full moon – the day of, the day before and the day after – can be used to boost any intention or project. This phase represents achievement, culmination and abundance, and you can call on this energy to fuel your dreams. And while the planet is filled with such energy and potential, it’s a great time for healing and manifestation.

Midnight is the most powerful time for magical work, as the moon is directly overhead. Stand beneath the golden orb and give thanks for what you’ve achieved so far, and breathe in the energy and power so you can harness it for self-expression and inner strength. Perform a Drawing Down the Moon ritual, bringing the energy of the moon, and the moon goddess, into your heart and soul. This is a great time to charge crystals and amulets with the moon’s energy, and cleanse your own physical and etheric bodies. Psychic abilities are also at their strongest, so practise any divination methods you are drawn to, looking within to find answers to your questions and clues to your future.

The full moon is the high tide of power in a lunar cycle, so cast spells for completion, things you want to achieve, and anything requiring an extra boost of intensity, such as healing work, job hunting or love. You can also invoke the mother goddesses Arianrhod, Isis, Selene, Diana, Lakshmi, Quan Yin, Demeter, Ishtar and Mama Quilla, who all represent the full moon, motherhood, fertility, the earth and creation.

The next full moon will fall on February 11, with the lunar orb becomign full at 11.34am Sydney time…
