Welcome to this full moon reflection.

This Aries moon shines a light on leadership,

Identity,

Who we are when we step forward,

How we're perceived,

And the masks we wear to prove ourselves.

But under the full moon,

Masks grow heavy.

This is a time to release what's performative and reclaim presence.

Close your eyes if you can.

Feel your feet rooted into the ground,

Steady,

Anchored.

Inhale deeply through the nose.

Exhale slowly through the mouth.

With each breath,

Imagine shedding a layer of tension or performance.

Consider this.

In your leadership,

Where might you be wearing a mask?

Like the hero,

Believing only you can hold everything together?

The saint,

Taking on every burden to protect others?

The realist,

Accepting burnout as the price of impact?

Or the innocent,

Waiting for things to calm down on their own?

Which mask feels most present right now?

Notice,

Not with judgment,

But with curiosity.

Now,

Ask yourself,

What is this mask trying to protect me from?

Is it fear of failure?

Fear of being seen?

Fear of not being enough?

Imagine placing that mask gently down before you.

You can thank it for trying to protect you.

But acknowledge that it no longer serves the leader you're becoming.

Visualize the full moon above,

Its light washing over you.

As it shines,

It dissolves the weight of performance,

Revealing your authentic presence beneath.

Repeat softly to yourself,

I release the need to perform.

I reclaim the power of presence.

I release the need to perform.

I reclaim the power of presence.

Now,

Picture yourself stepping forward as the leader you are without the mask.

Your voice is steady.

Your presence is aligned.

You are not holding everything alone.

You are leading with clarity,

Courage,

And connection.

What does it feel like in your body to stand in this presence?

Where do you feel lighter,

More open,

More grounded?

This Aries full moon is a reminder.

True leadership isn't performance,

It's alignment.

When you release the masks,

You reclaim your resilience.

As you move forward this week,

Carry this presence into your leadership.

Not perfect,

Not performative,

Just deeply,

Authentically you.

Take one final breath.

Release.

And when you're ready,

Open your eyes.
