Full Moon in Leo
RITUAL
Well, simmering much?
Leo, it's a fire sign. I'm not telling you anything new: it's Latin for “lion” the king of animals, the sun king, the oversized ego that needs to be controlled for a healthy exploitation of your personal power.
And the Full Moon... It's the peak—the accumulation of light and energy. It's everything we've been able to gather since the last New Moon (you know, the one where we called for abundance). Which is great, but once we reach this stage, it's quite common to be in energetic, psychological, and emotional overload.
So, we find ourselves with a sign of fire and power, and intense energies due to the lunar peak. If you're a bit tense, going in all directions, and feeling an overflow of emotions, it's normal. You can let go of guilt; it will pass. As soon as the Moon starts to wane, we should release the pressure and return to a normal temperature.
And, the lucky thing is that Aquarius season has just begun. This means that great innovative ideas are in the air and that we are called to be objective and draw on our past emotional experiences to extract the wisdom necessary for our current well-being. So, it's the ideal time to channel all that energy and all that personal power and use it to materialise your vision. Use this pulsating force within you combined with Aquarius' cleverness to bring your creative ideas to life and shine your light by daring to indulge in your passions.
If the vibrations are too intense for you, always remember to breathe, to come back to your centre. Take necessary breaks to assess your emotional balance and alignment. Listen to your body to find the rhythm that suits you and make the most of moments of inspiration to bring your aspirations to life.
Today's ritual aims to harness this solar energy, this Yang polarity that this Moon reflects, she who usually embodies the gentleness of Yin. We will prepare a powder of courage and personal power to sprinkle on your dishes whenever you need a little boost to believe in yourself and in the power of your light.
To do this, you will need:
A glass container.
A tablespoon of black pepper.
A tablespoon of cloves (whole or powdered).
Two tablespoons of dried lemon zest.
Three tablespoons of dried thyme.
Quick tip: If you don't have dried lemon zest, you can always substitute it with lemon juice or fresh zest when adding the powder to your dishes.
Before you start mixing, take three deep breaths, and with each exhale, clear your thoughts. Place a hand on your abdomen to connect to your solar plexus chakra, home to your personal power. Ask it to activate and help you create a powder that will bring you courage and strength.
Then, in a mortar (or whatever you have), crush the pepper and cloves, turning clockwise and maintaining the intention to activate the lion's strength within you. Add the dried lemon zest and continue mixing. Finish with the thyme. Place your magical powder in a glass jar and let it soak up the rays of the Full Moon in Leo.
You can then use it to season your dishes whenever you need a little boost to gather your courage and access your personal power.
And if you prefer to concoct a skin potion, you can follow the same procedure, replacing thyme and lemon zest with thyme and bergamot essential oils. Mix it all with the vegetable oil of your choice and let your potion soak up the moonlight.
I wish you a joyful ritual and an inspiring Full Moon in Leo!
