The Aries full moon comes after an interesting month of many of us feeling super stuck, slurping through quicksand, mud, and/or both. Tired, irritable, and possibly not giving a damn about much.

Despite all of this, the past few weeks have also been ripe for deep inner healing. And also through the power of this full moon — especially the healing planet Chiron.

If you’re feeling super sensitive, a bit of brain fog, or emotional; and things or people are making you feel revved — this moon is definitely living up to its reputation. A lunar cleansing in deep and unyielding ways is most definitely underway.

In Aries, the archetype of the self, the fiery energy of always needing and wanting to be first. Aries has a sixth sense of the things and people around them.

This is a moon that can feel fiery and deep. Issues around identity could be a theme, as is surrendering to what you have outgrown and what you can leave on the mantle and admire from a distance.

With Mercury just coming out of his retrograde, Pluto arising too, and Saturn, this moon is the beginning of change, resets, and restarts — occurring all this week.

Tread carefully and move to where you feel the energy, and accept the places where you don’t.

Relationships may be tested or have been tested — and this moon may bring things to a crescendo.

A lot of deep healing and personal empowerment has been underway — the world is moving and evolving in ways setting us up for the long haul.

Things are changing, and systems need to shift. This transitional time can feel destabilising, yet when you can focus on what you can do for yourself and others, the ride, the wisdom, and the insight, will arise for action. This may be where you will feel a shift in the way you operate.

The Cowslip Orchid flower essence is wonderful in supporting your healing at this time.

The flower essence healing on offer comes from the most beautiful and radiant energy of the Cowslip Orchid (shown in the featured image above).

If you’re feeling a little teary and lost, or sensitive, not in a place where you feel seen, understood, or over dealing with all the shiz, even tired of it all .. the Cowslip Orchid flower essence helps to ignite a sense of hope, and humility. It quietens the mind to allow for a sense of self-assurance.

If you’re yearning to be seen, this flower essence can support a new empowerment process in you.

The energy across this moon is deep and unrelenting. This might be the time to trust your instincts and move forward in a more independent and intuitive way.

Like the theme for this moon, it’s your call.

Have a luminous week.
