Give and Take

An energy forecast for the Aries full moon September 2018

Give and Take

On September 24th/ 25th we have a full moon in Aries, the baby of the zodiac, opposite Sun in Libra, the sign of partnerships. The polarity here is the need for attention as well as the need to care for others, this will trigger any imbalance of healthy give and take.

The healing will come from being able to seriously look at any behavior that is not valuing the self worth of yourself or others. Feelings of social insecurity at this time will be highlighting where you are over valuing others and under valuing yourself, or vice versa. 

Remember your worth; you are the most important person in your life, without exception. No one is more valuable to your Self Essence than you, not your kids, partners, parents, friends with issues, bosses with demands, no one. You know why? Because none of those people can give you what only you can give you, self-love.

Give yourself permission to fully love, appreciate and care for yourself then you will see that true love is detaching and letting others figure out how to love themselves too. You can’t do it for them and they can’t do it for you. When we accept ourselves and each other, exactly as we all are right now then we have harmony.

Beware of getting caught up in people pleasing this month, be considerate but think about the greater good. Letting uncomfortable things slide just to keep the peace will enable uneven relationships to continue. If something isn’t right it’s okay to set it right, your diplomacy skills may surprise you when you take the emotion out of your way of thinking.

Around the full moon and for the following couple of weeks, steer clear of getting caught up in strong opinions, passionate outbursts or selfish behavior, yours or others. Practice listening to the energy of conversations rather than the words, breathe and give yourself the time and space to be discerning and observe the energy you are using to convey your message.

This isn’t going to be the lightest of full moons, there’s a bit of seriousness going on, that’s not to mean take things seriously, more like serious stuff will be coming up to be cleared. This may involve feelings of hurt or self loathing coming out of nowhere, or childhood pain coming to the surface in order to clear the way for your Self Essence. If feelings of hurt come up say aloud, “I feel hurt and I’m letting it pass.” Remind yourself, it’s just a feeling, a memory of a memory, and it’s always a good time to let go of painful memories.

Lastly, feelings may come up around not feeling protected or supported, possibly connected to father issues. It could be that there needs to be healing with your father or maybe you need to adjust how you support and protect yourself. Are you blaming others for your vulnerabilities or giving your power over to others who have shown they can’t or won’t protect or support you?

Observe how you protect and support yourself this full moon and consider where you can take responsibility for your own security and stability. By freeing yourself from expecting others to fill the gaps in your self-love you can then use your energy to create deeper authenticity and harmony within yourself and  your relationships.
