Peak Full Moon is August 30th, 18:36pst – Power window is NOW
Hey there, thanks August for giving us a chance to shake the shit out and release what is not serving us TWICE this month. Full moon is time for RELEASE and the theme for this one is relationships.
In order to offer in release what is truly of value this requires some self examination. There’s a positive goal here, to improve your connections with friends, family, friend-family, and community. Give it some thought, use your compassion and sense of humor when you self-examine so this stays an opportunity for evolution instead of an exercise in self deprecation. Ask yourself if there are interactions, relationship dynamics you propagate, that fall short of the “best self” relationship connection vibes you want to live.
Get a piece of paper and write down these short comings. Notice if some of your shortcomings were hurtful, and if an apology to the person hurt has been given. An apology should never be given unless it comes with the intent to rectify the action so it doesn’t recur, consider if you’re ready to embrace the necessary change and growth before giving an apology. Also, the apology should never be about making just yourself feel better, will this help the other person involved? Consider their wellness. If there is a circumstance where the other put up a clear no-contact desired boundary and you would disrespect that boundary to satisfy your apology comfort, that’s a self focused reason to apologize. I don’t recommend that. Still worthwhile to examine your own behavior, release the past missteps as you give yourself space to do better.
I recommend taking the paper you fill with these thoughts to the moon for discussion of release and replacement with the “best self” growth you want. Stand under the moons light if you can- but don’t hold yourself back from ritual because of life circumstance. If the best you can do is talk to the moon inside your head, from a couch inside, during the day, WHATEVER– just do the ritual; it matters, it helps.
When the conversation feels complete, burn that paper, as you say aloud that you are done with the behaviors that are hindering your relationship connections. If you’ve apologies to make, do that before the moon conversation and the burning so that you are really ready to embrace the clean slate and move forward post ritual.
Good luck. Enjoy. Let the moon bath wash over your new clean slate self and do some good deep breathing work to cleanse your vessel too. I see better relationship futures for you, so long as you stay true to the improvements you ask of yourself. You can do it. I believe in you.
Blessed be.
