Beaver Moon 2020

Did you feel the effects of the full moon this week? This is the moon that marks a shift in the seasons and our tendency to go more inward, to reflect, to hibernate, etc. Add a penumbral eclipse to this and you’ve got all the energies moving around. For our benefit, they say.

If you are feeling something shifting or have felt it these past few days, then there’s no better time than to pause and reflect and see what that means for you.

For me, it was about communication, about reflecting on my own doubts and fears, and also what was/is holding me back. The full moon is usually a reminder to let go of something – what we thought we needed or wanted, old beliefs, habits etc – in order to make room for something new, or to hold on to what has been working for us. It’s the peak of the (lunar) month, the peak of the work we’ve been doing since the new moon.

To find out the answer, though, we need to turn down our mind chatter. To sit, to draw, to pray, to meditate, to walk… you name your own preferred way to be present, and then the answer will show up.

So, what do you want to hold on to?
