As we sit on the cusp of July 16th’s full moon and solar eclipse, we may be feeling both anticipation and apprehension.

There have been many changes happening in our lives, and the full moon and eclipse is like the gateway to the next stage. What do we find as we stand upon the threshold?

Have we done the necessary work to be light enough to walk through the gateway?

What more are we called to let go of?

For many people this is a calling to let go - once and for all - of an old way of being or an old belief system that keeps us small, limited or stuck.

This eclipse season, and the build up to it, has been a real push to expand into more than we thought we could be. It is a calling to bring more of ourselves and our light into the world.

Where do you need to shine your light more brightly?

The other aspect of this is that, amidst the change and possible stress, we may need to lighten up! To find the gratitude and gifts in letting go. To smile and laugh more, and experience more joy in our lives.

If you are feeling unsettled or shaken up by all the changes, within and without, then make sure you are taking good care of yourself and giving yourself plenty of warming nourishment.

Shaking seems to be a word that comes to mind with this season - the shaking up of our foundations or home, or belief systems that we have carried for years. A shaking of the heart in stepping into more of ourselves, a shaking of fear in moving forward into a new and unknown way of being.

Change can be hard - on the mind, body and emotions - so surround yourself with support, gentle care and time for yourself.

Stay well grounded through connection with the Earth and nature, and if you are feeling particularly emotional then spend time near or in water. Water shows us how to let go with ease and joy!

And of course, the moon shows us the way. Spend time in quiet reflection under the moon as we sit on the cusp of this beautiful & momentous full moon and eclipse. May it remind you of your true light.
