We approach an emotional Full Moon in moody Cancer on July 2nd.
Full Moons always highlight our relationship between the masculine, external,
out in the world self and the feminine, internal, emotional self. The Sun is
currently in maternal and moody Cancer while the Full Moon is in all-business,
task-master Capricorn. All work and no play. Finding balance between home and
career, personal and public are the themes during this Full Moon. Cancer is a
water sign, so being near bodies of water can heal you at this time. Capricorn
is the Mountain. A good full moon ritual
may integrate these opposing elements by taking a walk on a bluff. Or take a
hike through a trail that has a waterfall destination. Honor your feelings, and
stay the course.
As
Summer flows, the ocean and more at-home time connects us with the ebb and flow
of being social and coming back to the self. We are made of 80 percent water,
and water in all forms is incredibly soothing. Here in Los Angeles, water has
become an obvious commodity and its value is even controversial. Are you
entitled to water? Water represents the emotions. Are you entitled to your
emotions? It is your birthright. (So far they haven’t found a way to bottle and
sell that back to us.)
Water
resets me from nearly any mood: When I’m angry, I drink a glass of water and
literally feel myself cool down. When I feel low, a shower or bath can lift my
spirits and energize me. Water cleanses me of others people’s energies. Water can
be a playmate for surfers, or an intense force to be reckoned with as in a
tsunami. Be sure to take your lessons from the water. Be fluid. Go with the
flow, allow things to be as they are…move around them. Practice surrender and
let go of forcing. Water is the strongest element as it can change the shape of
the hardest rock with its current.
Play
in the water! Find a lake, river or ocean.
Cleanse
yourself with salt water baths, the ocean, or a walk in a Summer storm.
Be like water,
humble, seeking the lowest level. Go with the flow....
