Description
Full Moon in Capricorn 21st July '24
This is the second Full Moon in Capricorn in a row, which doesn’t happen very often! This is because the Full Moon in June happened in the very early degrees of Capricorn and this Full Moon is happening in the very last degrees of Capricorn!
This means you will of had two Full Moon’s in a row triggering the same part of your chart. This is the universe sending you a strong message about releasing and moving on in one area of your life! This also means that you are being asked twice to assess and find balance between the parts of your inner child that are being triggered.
You are also being given another opportunity to assess and address the following area’s in your life:
- Your Hopes and Dreams – are you living in alignment with your hopes and dreams? Do you believe that you have the courage and strength to follow your heart and dreams and to drop out of your ego?
- Romance – how are your romantic relationships? Are you being true to yourself and others in your relationships? Are you being kind and compassionate to yourself and others? Are you allowing yourself to love and to be loved?
- The Driven and Explosive part of you – are you experiencing a tug-of-war between your ego and your feelings? Is your ego working in line with your softer, compassionate, inner child or is it over-bearing and over-whelming?
- Power – are you tapping into your personal power? What is it that you want to do with your life? Your work-life and your family life? What is holding you back in your life?
During a Full Moon, the Sun and Moon are at opposite sides of the sky. With this Full Moon in Capricorn, the Sun is in the sign of Cancer and the Moon is in the sign of Capricorn, creating a tug of war effect or opposition in the two signs. The Sun is all about ‘ego’ whereas the Moon is all about ‘feelings’.
At the peak of a Full Moon, our feelings are as far away from our ego as they can get. This means that we have a greater opportunity to tap into our feelings and to really feel them.
This is what makes this Full Moon a wonderful opportunity to reset balance in your life. Cancer energies are very much associated with home-life, family, childhood, nurturing, looking after ourselves. Whereas, Capricorn energies are associated with high achieving, being ambitious, practical and attention focused.
Qs: How well balanced are these two parts of your life?
"I learn my lessons and I move on".
Guiding Principals
- Embrace: We embrace the present moment with open hearts and open minds, honoring our experiences and allowing ourselves to be fully present with whatever arises.
- Release: We release old patterns, beliefs, and emotions that no longer serve our highest good, creating space for new insights, intentions, and possibilities to emerge.
- Renew: We renew our connection to ourselves, to each other, and to the natural world, tapping into the timeless wisdom of the universe to guide us on our path of healing and self-discovery.
Your Journey Begins
As we combine the healing energies of the full moon with our own energies, your journey of healing and transformation begins. Through a blend of guided Self-Compassion Meditation, Breathwork/Pranayama, Forgiveness & Release Ritual, Journalling, Self-Reflection, Hypnotherapy Healing and Yoga Nidra, you will be guided to dive deep into the depths of your soul, exploring the hidden realms of your subconscious mind and unlocking the dormant power that lies within.
Together, we will honor the cycles of the moon and the cycles of our own lives, embracing the ebb and flow of change with grace and acceptance. As we journey through the sacred landscape of our inner worlds, we will uncover hidden truths, heal old wounds, and awaken to the infinite possibilities that await us on our path of self-discovery.
How It Works
- Breathwork/Pranayama: Connect with the rhythm of your breath and the natural cycles of the moon through gentle breathwork exercises. Dive deep into your inner landscape, releasing tension and inviting calmness and clarity into your being.
- Forgiveness & Release Ritual: Release old wounds and emotional baggage as you participate in a powerful forgiveness ritual. Through guided meditation and intention setting, you’ll gently let go of resentments and open your heart to healing and reconciliation.
- Journaling, Self-Reflection: Begin your exploration by delving into the depths of your inner world through reflective journaling prompts guided by the luminous light of the full moon. Allow your thoughts and emotions to flow freely onto the pages as you cultivate self-awareness and insight.
- Full Moon Hypnotherapy Healing: This transformative practice combines the power of hypnotherapy with the mystical influence of lunar cycles. Here, you are guided into a deep state of relaxation and receptivity, where you can access your subconscious minds with heightened clarity and insight. The full moon serves as a catalyst for releasing old patterns, beliefs, and emotions that no longer serve their highest good, while also amplifying intentions for healing, growth, and transformation. Through this sacred union of hypnotherapy and lunar energy, you are empowered to unlock your inner wisdom, embrace your true potential, and step into a life of greater balance, harmony, and well-being.
- Yoga Nidra: Surrender to the soothing embrace of Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation practice that induces deep relaxation and promotes inner healing. Allow the full moon’s radiant energy to envelop you as you journey through layers of consciousness, restoring balance and harmony within.
- Closing Circle: Conclude our Full Moon Healing Circle with a Closing Circle, where we come together as a community or Sangha to share our experiences, insights, and intentions for the Lunar Cycle ahead. Bask in the collective energy of love, connection, and transformation.
What are the Benefits?
- Emotional Release: Release pent-up emotions, traumas, and limiting beliefs that no longer serve you, fostering emotional liberation and inner peace.
