Whatever happened last weekend when the Sun opposed Saturn – a difficult decision, a challenge before you, or perhaps frustration at a current limitation– you are emotionally processing it all with this full moon. With Saturn so close to the moon, our normal full moon instincts to socialize and connect are tamped down. Carve out some alone time to contemplate, reflect, and release any stuck energy.
This full moon will clarify and focus on what is important to you. While you may feel some weariness, focus your energy on taking the next best step since one challenge of the moon next to Saturn is feeling overwhelmed. You are clarifying what you are accountable and committed to and what you are not. There isn’t any room for passivity or wishy-washiness with this dynamic. Because Mercury is retrograde, slow down your communication and get specific. Use your active listening skills to get clarity in communications with others.
You are also facing a reckoning with a past decision/situation that may be haunting you. Remember to focus on what you learned and be honest with whatever feelings emerge if you feel regret or shame. It’s ok to learn and make mistakes. This may be a good time for some self-forgiveness so that you can move on.
Even though there are some harsh edges to this full moon, Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus are helping with support, resources, and healing. You are feeling the feels because on some level you know that you are now able to say goodbye to some patterns that you’ve outgrown. The different aspects of your being are integrating and synthesizing into the new normal to support your evolution. Be at peace with this process.
Questions to Ponder: In what ways can I practice greater acceptance of my current circumstances? Where am I showing up for my commitments and responsibilities? How might I forgive myself for striving to achieve unrealistic expectations?
