Full Moon in Cancer Tarot Spread

Happy full moon in Cancer gorgeous souls!

As a Cancer Moon myself I’m totally here for the moody, introspective, emotional support vibes of this moon!

A water sign, Cancer is all about emotion and intuition and this full moon you are being encouraged to really pay attention to the intuitive hits you’ve been getting.

No second guessing or distrusting yourself. Those nudges, those feelings (uncomfortable or excitable!) that won’t go away, it’s your intuition speaking to you.

A full moon in Cancer brings an invitation to explore, express and release pent up emotion.

If there are things you’ve wanted to express but haven’t felt safe, find a way. Maybe you need to scream into the void (or a pillow), go to therapy, get a reading, speak to a trusted friend, journal it all out and burn it or (one of my faves) just have a big cry to the universe.

Your emotions are a powerful guidance system, so pay attention to how you’re feeling. Listen to your body and your emotional responses.

This full moon in Cancer can also be a very healing time and can be used to clear out loads of old, stuck and stagnant energy from years or even lifetimes ago.

Your own empathy and sensitivity may be highlighted this full moon too and you may be feeling emotionally and energetically exhausted. Rest, feel your feelings and get some downtime, but also start considering how you can set some healthy loving boundaries with yourself and others so that you can show up in the world in bigger and brighter ways.

While this moon can be great for spiritual development and practices of any kind, this may be a bit of a pillow fort moon for many of us. If your practices this moonth involve hiding away under the doona (duvet if you’re not Australian!) for a couple of days, go for it. You’ll come out the other side more refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to rock!

LOOKING FOR SOME RITUALS IDEAS FOR THe Full Moon in Cancer?

  • Rest

  • Self-love and self-care rituals

  • Do readings for yourself with gentle oracle and tarot decks

  • Journal on anything and everything

  • Stay home or keep it chill

  • Energy protection spells

  • Create art just for fun and just for you

  • Sacral chakra work

  • Deep meditation and relaxation

  • Salt baths

Why I'm no Longer Doing Wheel of the Year Readings and What I'm Doing Instead

Predictive readings are old school.

There I said it.

Of course, this is just my opinion and I still know many wonderful readers who choose to look at predictions and many people still love them, maybe even you, but they just aren’t for me. And they aren’t for the people who choose to work with me.

In my humble opinion, predictive readings take away your power and create self-fulfilling prophesies.

I honestly find it absolutely fascinating that the same people who believe in law of attraction, manifestation and free will are happy to sit down and pull 12 cards for the year to see what’s going to happen.

But you either believe in the ability to create your own destiny or you don’t.

Actually, okay, bear with me here. I do believe there are things that we are meant to experience in our lifetime. We do indeed have soul contracts, karma to work out and dharma (your soul’s true calling) to discover. But these are just points in the road. I believe that what we do and where we go when we reach them is totally up to us.

If you’re not familiar with Wheel of the Year readings, these are tarot or oracle readings pulling 13 cards (at least this is the way I’ve done it in the past) – one as a general message or theme for your year in the middle and then 12 cards are placed in a circle, one for each month of the year.

Wheel of the Year Readings have become kind of a tradition for card readers over the years, and the truth is, they are a great sell at this time of year (I’m writing this in December 2022). Many people love predictive readings, they just want someone to tell them what the future holds, that everything is going to be okay, that the year ahead is going to be better, brighter and full of love, joy and prosperity. And hey, who doesn’t want to hear that?

And it’s all fine until your wheel of the year looks like: January – The Tower, February – Three of Swords, March – The Devil, April – Death, need I go on?

Experienced readers know that these cards aren’t necessarily “bad”, but they can bring challenges and they do make even the most awakened among us roll our eyes like – oh jeez, not another Tower year!

And what a way to go into the year, believing it’s going to be tough, challenging, hard work, it’s like you’re exhausted from it all before it starts.

If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that we just can’t predict the future.

I don’t know one single psychic reader who predicted Covid or the lockdowns or the impact and affect it would have on us all, emotionally, socially and physically. If you’re a reader and you predicted it all, let me know and I’ll happily stand corrected.

I’m really not trying to diss predictive readers here. there are still times and places where I’ll pull a potential outcome card for myself or my clients, but it’s always only ever a potential.

I could go into a whole thing here about my thoughts on the future and timelines and dimensional shifts, but let’s just put it in simply – no one really knows what’s going to happen.

Every intention you have, every decision you make, no matter how big or small can set you off on a totally different course, changing outcomes and changing the future.

When we do these long term predictive readings we forget that by the time we reach February we might be on a totally different path, a few different turns could have led us to a totally different part of the map. Which means those directions you wrote down to get to point X are not going to help you now that you’re not even going there anymore.

When we do predictive readings we do them from a specific point in time. We look ahead from where we’re standing. But as soon as we move ourselves into a different position, the landscape changes.

Working with tarot and oracle cards can guide us on our journey. They can point out things we’re unaware of, but instead of seeing them as the map, showing us where we’re going next, I prefer to see them as our companion on the journey. Our navigator letting us know when we’re running out of gas, or about to hit fork in the road. Their job is not to tell you which road to take but to help you figure out where you want to go and how to get there. Working with the cards can help you make your decision, but they should never be the ones driving the car.

OK, so say you still want to do a wheel of the year reading, I invite you to consider this question: WHY?

Why do you want to pull cards for the year ahead? How is this going to help you? What are you going to do with this information?

Please keep doing your wheel of the year readings if they feel good for you, but don’t just do them because you’ve always done them. Do them because you truly feel like they help and support you on your journey. And if they don’t? Do something else.

I still find it useful to have some new year rituals when it comes to preparing my energy for the new year. There is a collective buzz at this time that I really do believe heightens our ability to manifest. There is also a collective slump about three weeks into January, so it’s important to try to avoid hooking into that one too much! But you can absolutely use this buzzy high vibe highly emotional and hopeful time to do some spiritual work.

Here are some of the things I’ve found useful since I’ve let go of wheel of the year readings:

Zodiac Spread using the Goddesses Among Us Oracle

Do a Zodiac Spread Instead

This still gives you the option to sit down and do your 12 card reading but instead of predicting the whole year, each card position looks at different aspects of your life in the here and now. You can do this spread by using the houses of the zodiac or the energies of the zodiac signs.

 

Set Intentions / New Year Resolutions

Some simple intention setting can go along way. You can do this in so many different ways, but one thing I like to do is just sit and write down my intentions for each area of my life. I actually do call these my new year’s resolutions, you may or may not like that phrase, but to me it’s all about intention. It’s about sitting down and intentionally thinking about what I want to achieve, experience and feel in the next year.

I try not to get too obsessed with this list, and instead of looking at it over the year and berating myself for not having achieved everything, I revisit it to see if I’m both still on track, but I also remove things I’ve changed my mind about and add things I’m excited about or that have come into my life since. We’re all evolving, and our intentions and resolutions should evolve with us.

 

Word of the Year

Coming up with a word for the year can be a fun and powerful activity that helps you to tune into the energy of what you want to experience in the year ahead. This is really just another way to set intentions. Make your word something that’s not too specific like peace, joy, harmony or expansion. During the year ask yourself questions like – is this bringing me closer or further away from peace? How can I make joy my priority? Let this word evolve over the year if you like. Nothing is set in stone, including your word of the year.

 

Numerology

Looking at the numerology of the year and your personal numerology can be a really useful way to tune into the energy of the year ahead and help you to work with it to manifest your dreams.

2023 is going to be a 7 year which has the potential for a lot of luck, success and cosmic alignment, but it also brings opportunities for some deep spiritual and personal development in order to get us into that alignment.

If you’re interested to learn more about how to work with the magic of this 7 year check out my upcoming Kundalini Magick workshop – Luck and Light!

Set Goals

Why do a wheel of the year reading when you can literally just set some goals and work towards achieving them?

As with everything, goals shift and change and evolve over time, which is why I find it helpful to set goals for smaller time periods.

At the moment I’m into setting goals every three months, from solstice to equinox, equinox to solstice. At these times I sit down and write down my goals for my work, my personal life, spiritual path and for my general wellbeing. I make some plans for how I’m going to make them happen and then I (try to) only look ahead that far. Of course I’ll still be thinking of ideas for further ahead, when that happens I write those things down and come back to them later.

If something unexpected comes up, I make space, often letting go of one goal to focus on something else. Sometimes goals fall away and no longer fit, sometimes they come back around. When I set goals I do it with focused intention but also with grace, knowing that there are times to push to make things happen, and times to let things go.

As you step into the new year, or whenever you come across this post, I invite you to remember that you have the power to create your own destiny.

Yes there are maps and sign posts and some roads you must walk for a little while, but ultimately, where you go and how you get there is up to you.

If you’d like to join me for my Luck and Light Kundalini Magick workshop I would love to see you there!

We will dive deeper into numerology, intention setting and I’ll give you some Kundalini Yoga practices that can help you align to the magick of the 7 energy and activate the victory codes within you so that you can walk through your year knowing you have the power to make it magickal!

With love, light and luck,

Vix

New Moon in Capricorn Tarot Spread

Capricorn is an ambitious, hard-working, super reliable and successful sign.

When the new moon dances with Capricorn it’s extra potent for manifesting anything relating to work, purpose and getting things done.

If you’ve been needing an extra boost of energy to get a project finished, get the ball rolling or even just get yourself out of bed and moving again, this is your moon!

The new moon in Capricorn gives us a gentle (maybe not so gentle actually) nudge.

All those things you’ve been talking about but not taking action on? Well, it’s now or never.

I mean, if not now, when? What are you waiting for? If you’ve been waiting for the stars to align, here they are!

Capricorn reminds us that perseverance is essential on any journey - spiritual, personal or material.

Whatever you want to manifest, you have to show up and make it happen.

And keep showing up even when things get tough or you don’t really feel like it.

Do your manifesting rituals this new moon but make sure you are meeting what you are calling in half way.

As an earth sign, Capricorn can be very focused on the material. While it’s wonderful to have nice things, it’s even nicer to live a life you love. When manifesting your desires this new moon aim higher than material possessions, manifest work you love, an abundant life in all ways and opportunities to make the world a better place.

LOOKING FOR SOME RITUALS IDEAS FOR THIS NEW MOON?

  • Manifest a new or better work situation

  • Dream BIG

  • Set goals

  • Clear and activate the solar plexus

  • Work with crystal healing and crystal gridding

  • Take a Kundalini Yoga class

  • Get to work on whatever you’re dreaming about

  • Tidy your home and workspace

  • Meditate on your purpose

  • Walk your talk

  • Actually show up for your rituals!

The best time to use this spread is within three days after the new moon in Capricorn, but you can really use it anytime you want to connect with Capricorn energy.

Full Moon in Gemini Tarot Spread

Happy full moon in Gemini gorgeous souls!

Y’all know as a Gemini Sun I’m here for this one! :D

Gemini is a high vibe, fun, excitable, fast moving sign and when the full moon hits here it has the potential to be one of the lightest, most fun full moons we’ve had for a while!

Geminis often get a bad rap as they sometimes struggle to focus, ground, and dive deep, but Geminis who are doing the work on themselves make amazing friends who are always up for both a bit of deep spiritual work and also having a laugh! It is the sign of duality after all and when we are balanced and grounded in our sign, we can both go deep and go high!

When the full moon appears in Gemini it’s a chance to look at both sides of all situations.

It’s a great time to look at where you’re making judgements about yourself or others and look at things differently.

Gemini is an air sign and is all about ideas. Make sure you take some time this full moon to just sit, meditate, listen and let the ideas come in. You don’t need to do anything with your ideas just yet, but be open to new perspectives, new solutions to your problems and new paths to take.

Gemini is a creative sign and you may feel called to start, work on or complete creative projects. In fact, if you can finally summon up the focus to complete something this full moon, you will should feel a huge weight lifted.

Full Moons are great for releasing, and the Full Moon in Gemini is a potent time to release any negative mental blocks, thoughts, beliefs or old stories you’re telling yourself.

Break those chains by re-writing your thoughts with positive affirmations and visualisation.

And most of all, this is a full moon when it’s okay not to take yourself or your spiritual path too seriously!

Do something fun, get the tarot cards out and read for your cat, dance to Fleetwood Mac under the moon in circles in the backyard. Watch Teen Witch or embrace your inner Sabrina the Teenage Witch and find the fun in the magick!

LOOKING FOR SOME RITUALS IDEAS FOR THe Full Moon in Gemini?

  • Clear and release mental blocks by writing them down and burning or shredding them

  • Journal on anything and everything (Gemini is all about words and communication!)

  • Create and work with affirmations

  • Chant mantras

  • Work on creative projects

  • Think about what you want to create in your physical life

  • Make some moon water by leaving some water outside under the moon and add a drop to your tea when you’re in need of creative inspiration

  • Connect with friends, attend a witchy meet up or take a class or workshop online and make yourself known in the chat

  • Communicate your needs with loved ones

  • Tell the universe what you want in clear terms

  • Play board games

  • Burn sage and and let any negative thoughts clear away

The best time to use this spread is within three days after the full moon in Gemini, but you can really use it anytime you want to connect with Gemini energy.

New Moon in Sagittarius Tarot Spread

After all the intensity of that Scorpio Full Moon Eclipse and the Lunar Eclipse before it I think we’re all well and truly ready for a bit of Sagittarius magic!

The New Moon in Sagittarius brings us back into the world after all that inner work we’ve been doing and encourages us to take physical action towards our dreams again.

With Sag’s adventurous and seeking nature, this is a fantastic moon to manifest under, especially anything relating to travel, learning or getting out of your comfort zone.

This New Moon in Sagittarius may have you feeling a little more social again, so get out there and find some like-minded minds to chat, day trip, ritual or goal set with.

One of Sagittarius’ energy many wonderful traits is the lack of filter. This means you may find you and others are speaking more honestly and openly about your dreams and visions, which can be so powerful and healing, but do take care not to rock the boat too much, unless it needs rocking of course, then rock away!

A New Moon in Sagittarius is a hopeful and optimistic time, so dream big, manifest your grandest plans and most of all, have some fun doing it!

LOOKING FOR SOME RITUALS IDEAS FOR THIS NEW MOON?

  • Manifest, manifest, manifest!

  • Vision board party!

  • Gather with others at a sound bath, circle or workshop

  • Create a new high vibe playlist and just bask in the good vibes

  • Catch up on reading some of those spiritual books sitting by your bed

  • Take an online class (maybe one you’ve been putting off!)

  • Do something just for fun

  • Plan a trip, even if you’re not sure how you’ll make it happen yet

The best time to use this spread is within three days after the new moon in Sagittarius, but you can really use it anytime you want to connect with Sagittarius energy.

Full Moon in Taurus Lunar Eclipse Tarot Spread

The Full Moon in Taurus brings an opportunity to release all the stuck and stagnant energy, thoughts, old beliefs and stories that holds you back.

Add a lunar eclipse into the mix and we have the perfect portal for some shadow work and transformation.

Taurus is an earth sign heavily concerned with the material world. While Taurus is all that when it comes to working towards your dreams, feeling luxe and opening up to prosperity, Taurus energy can also feel heavy and stubborn at times.

With the full moon and eclipse here we’re being asked to really look at what’s going on. To notice what we’re not seeing, or what we’re actively ignoring.

We can all be stubborn at times, we hang onto our beliefs, ideas and opinions like they are gold, but it’s only when we accept that none of us have it all worked out and perhaps there’s still so much more to uncover and learn about and experience that we can really be open to positive transformation in ourselves and in our lives.

Eclipses are not great times to manifest, but this is a great time to prepare yourself for manifesting money, abundance and prosperity by unpacking some of your own BS stories, judgements towards yourself and others, and to try to see things from a higher perspective.

LOOKING FOR SOME RITUALS IDEAS FOR THe Full Moon in Taurus Lunar eclipse?

  • Clearing and banishing spells

  • Shadow work, especially around money and the material world

  • Releasing old money stories

  • Work on your side hustle

  • Self-love work, spells and meditations

  • Beauty spells and practices

  • Long and deep meditations with extra cushions

  • Dance or move your body in whatever way feels good

  • Try on all your clothes in your wardrobe and donate anything that doesn’t make you feel beautiful

  • Embrace the Boujee by doing what makes you feel expensive

The best time to use this spread is within three days after the full moon in Taurus, but you can really use it anytime you want to connect with Taurus energy.

Samhain Tarot Spread and Ritual Ideas

Dancing with your coven under a full moon never gets old.

Samhain Blessings gorgeous souls!

Known as the witch’s new year, Samhain, pronounced sow-in or sah-ween depending on your accent, is a big deal in the magickal community.

Known to muggles as Halloween, this is the time when the veil is thin and the spirit world can be accessed the most easily.

A time to honour and connect with our ancestors and our passed over loved ones, the sometimes dark creepy vibes of Halloween are not always representative of the magic, light and love that is available for us to draw down at Samhain.

However, as we meet with our ancestors and remember those who have passed over, we are faced with our own mortality, the reminder that we too, will go beyond the veil one day and return back to spirit.

Scaring yourself silly with horror movies and ghost stories is one thing people like to do at this time, but our ancestors are not “scary” at all, they are the most loving, powerful, protective guides a witch could ask for.

The fear we can feel at this time is often related to our own conditioning and fears around death, darkness (this is a dark time of year), and the unknown so it’s a fantastic time to do some shadow work, look your fears in the eye and remember that death is just the price we pay for this absolutely extraordinary experience of living.

It’s always a good idea to practice energy protection around Samhain, especially if you’re going to be attending parties, watching scary movies or doing deep shadow work. Imagine yourself in a bubble of light, call on your ancestors, guides and angels to protect your magick and all will be well. Keep yourself safe and enjoy the festivities!

Samhain is traditionally celebrated on the 31st of October in the northern hemisphere and on the 30th of April in the southern hemisphere.

Your ancestors and passed over loved ones are always with you.

Looking for some Samhain rituals?

As always, you can celebrate Samhain, Halloween or any of the sabbats however you like. But here are some ideas that may be useful in helping you develop your own rituals.

honouring the dead

If you do one thing at this time of year, do something to honour your ancestors and those who have passed over. Display their pictures, light candles and talk with them. Tell them what’s going on in your life, ask for the help with things you’re struggling with. Sing or chant for them, give them offerings of flowers, wine or food, set a place at the table for them as you eat. Do something to let them know you remember them.

Check out the shop for the Ancestors and Ancestral Healing kits.

Face your fears

What are you most afraid of? Our fears can be our greatest teachers. Think of your greatest fear and then journal, meditate or pull cards on what it is trying to teach you.

For example a fear of losing someone you love may be a lesson in loving people while they are still here, letting go of grudges and prioritising relationships. Fear of death may be a lesson in living life to the fullest.

Embrace Your darkness

Samhain can be a powerful time to remember you are only human. You are light, you are beautiful but you are also rough and raw. You have the capacity to both harm and heal, to love and hate, and while most of us on this path are aiming for love and compassion, there are times when it’s okay to just embrace the messy, ugly truth of the human experience. Let go of any guilt or shame you are carrying and own, love and embrace all the parts of you.

Make peace with your ego through meditation, healing practices, journalling and self-love.

Get witchy

Cast spells, read tarot, hang out with black cats, wear a pointy hat, watch The Craft with your coven. It’s Samhain and anything goes tonight! Express your inner witch and activate your power through magickal work.

Call on Spirit

Call on your ancestors, spirit guides and all those who are with you guiding you for support, for guidance and messages. You can do this through using tarot or oracle cards, through journalling, meditation, going for a long walk, or just pausing to stop and listen.

Pay attention to the signs you get at this time.

If you want to learn how to see through the veil safely check out my Through the Veil e-kit on the shop.

As part of your ritual you may like to work with this tarot or oracle spread!

Pour yourself a mug of hot cocoa and grab your deck. You can use any cards you have - tarot, oracle, angel, Uno, it’s all good. You may like to take some time to journal on what comes up for extra insight.

1. How to honour your ancestors

2. How to see through the veil

3. fears to face and release

4. A message from your ancestors

Beltane Tarot Spread and Ritual Ideas

Dancing around a bonfire naked is a classic Beltane move!

Beltane Blessings gorgeous souls!

On the opposite side of the wheel to Samhain is Beltane. Celebrated at the point where spring begins to move into summer, Beltane is a fiery, passionate, sexy festival that honours the warmth and growth of the earth.

Beltane is known as the “Great Rite” - the festival in which the God and the Goddess come together in sexual union and this is a fantastic time to look at how the masculine and feminine energies are working within you and in your life.

Celebrated with maypole and Morris dancing in England, with bonfires and naked dancing in Scotland (I will never forget my very first Beltane festival on Calton Hill in Edinburgh!), Beltane is also an auspicious time for witches and magical folk to become handfasted.

While Samhain is a time of deep honouring for the dead, Beltane is a festival of life, love and fertility. A powerful time for manifestation, but do think carefully about what you want to call in at this time as the energy is potent!

Beltane is a wonderful time for connecting with the earth, the land and the people you love.

A time of creativity in all forms, whether you are wanting to create new life, bring a new soul into your family, or work on creative projects, this is the perfect time to set some intentions, breathe into your own magic and remember you have the power to plant, grow and create, just like the earth does.

During Beltane the veil is also thin, and so it’s always wise to remember to practice energy protection at both these points in the wheel (and always!) as spirit gets a little busy at these times!

Also known as May Day, Beltane is traditionally celebrated on the 1st of May in the northern hemisphere and the 1st of November in the southern hemisphere.

The Beltane bonfires

Looking for some Beltane rituals?

As always, you can celebrate Beltane or any of the sabbats however you like. But here are some ideas that may be useful in helping you develop your own rituals.

Fire rituals

If you can’t get to a bonfire celebration near by, create your own fire rituals. Light a fire pit or some candles on your altar. Burn away the old as you give thanks for the new.

Get wild

Do something to let your inner wild child out. Dance naked, sleep under the stars, roll around in meadows, walk barefoot through mud, turn your phone off for a day, ignore all your calls and return to your roots. Connect with the wildness of nature and be as wild and free as the wildflowers.

Gather

Gather with friends, family and loved ones at a Beltane festival, for a picnic in the park, a backyard BBQ, a night out dancing or even just a pizza and a good summer movie. Enjoy the company of the people you really care about and let them know how much they mean to you. Share your gratitudes and hopes for the future.

Unite

Just as the God and Goddess are reconnecting at Beltane, do something to honour, balance and merge the God and Goddesses within you.

Journal on how you balanced you feel within yourself. Look for ways that you can bring the masculine (the push energy) and the feminine (the pull) into balance. How can you both show up in the physical world and give yourself time and space to work on your inner world?

Flower crowns

Flower crowns are the ultimate accessory for Beltane. Make or buy a flower crown and wear it with confidence like the incredible Faery queen you are.

As part of your ritual you may like to work with this tarot or oracle spread!

Pour yourself a cold drink and grab your deck. You can use any cards you have - tarot, oracle, angel, Uno, it’s all good. You may like to take some time to journal on what comes up for extra insight.

1. How to celebrate love and life

2. What to conceive

3. How to unite all parts of yourself

4. How to unite with the divine

New Moon in Scorpio Solar Eclipse Tarot Spread

The New Moon in Scorpio this month kicks off eclipse season with a solar eclipse thrown in to the mix!

The new moon is usually an incredible time for manifestation, but eclipses are… not.

Eclipse energy can be chaotic and with the intensity of the Scorpio energy this is a time to look within rather than at what the outside world can provide for you.

This is the perfect time to ground and find your centre. What keeps you upright when the cosmic winds are blowing? Do some of this, and if you can’t find the energy or drive to do it, just focus on looking after yourself and getting through it.

Self-care is everything during this new moon and solar eclipse. Do things that nourish and nurture you. Fill your cup so you have plenty left over if some splashes over the sides.

Scorpio loves all things witchy and occult, but rather than casting spells, this is a great time to read your own tarot or oracle cards or even get together with a friend or two and support each other with some empowering readings.

If you find the energy a little full on, work on both grounding yourself and connecting to the highest guidance available. This will create a pillar of light between your roots and antahkarana bridge to source, keeping you aligned during this energetically big time.

Full Moon in Aries Tarot Spread

The Full Moon in Aries is all about letting go of anything that’s stopping you from standing in your strength and power.

As the New Moon in Aries symbolises a new zodiac year and a fantastic opportunity to manifest, when the Full Moon arrives here it’s time to check-in with the seeds that were sown six months ago.

Ideally, we should be doing this every full moon and taking a visit back to the flipside and what we were doing, what we were manifesting, what was going on in our lives six months ago.

So take a moment to think, journal or meditate upon where you were then. What’s changed? What have you learned? What blessings have come into your life? What have you created? What challenges have you made it through?

Look at how far you’ve come and be proud of yourself for making it to this point.

The Full Moon in Aries is a wonderful time to count your blessings and really dive deep into the energy of gratitude to help propel you through the next six months with love, grace and ease.

And as always, the Full Moon is always a good time to shed what is no longer needed. As Aries is such a strong, brave and self-assertive sign, it’s a great time to let go of anything that is stopping you from standing in your power. Old beliefs and stories and even old outfits that don’t make you feel like your best self have to go!

Looking for some rituals ideas for this full moon?

  • Gratitude work

  • Burning rituals - burn down those old stories and outdated beliefs

  • Cut your hair. Yes, you can do bangs, why not?!

  • Past life readings, regressions and healing

  • Soul retrieval

  • Declutter your wardrobe

  • Listen to your favourite old playlists and revisit the past

  • Re-read your old journals then burn them if you like!

The best time to use this spread is within three days after the Full Moon in Aries, but you can use it anytime you want to check-in with how you’re doing.
