Welcome dear friends,
This is Sarah and I'm so happy to have you with me again.
Welcome to this guided interactive practice for the full moon eclipse in cancer which is happening on January 10th.
As always this is an interactive practice so if you need to it's good to pause now I'll wait for you and you can go and grab a pen,
Piece of paper,
Something to write with,
Maybe a journal if you have one and come back.
Make your space comfortable,
Maybe light a candle and we'll get to it.
This full moon is also an eclipse and eclipses heighten things,
Right?
And we also have that much talked about conjunction of Saturn and Pluto which is coming just two days after the eclipse.
So heavy energy and a lot of fear mongering out there and I think it's important to begin by saying that there is nothing to be afraid of and that this energy is giving us a chance to work through issues that no longer serve us in order for us to step out on the other side because there is wonderful energy on the other side of this eclipse and the conjunction.
So when we have a full moon it is directly opposite the Sun in the sky and what we can do on the full moon is to look at the astrology of the Sun and to look at the astrology of the moon and see where the light of the Sun is being reflected and for this eclipse the Sun is in Capricorn and we have this huge amount of Capricorn Earth energy at the moment.
We have the Saturn-Pluto conjunction that will be happening in Capricorn.
The Sun is in Capricorn.
Mercury is in there too and there is this real theme of building,
Of climbing and of working with Capricorn and it's this grounded Earth energy that is going to be with us throughout the year and help us really to build from a very strong grounded foundation what it is that we wish to achieve and when this is opposite this full moon eclipse in Cancer what it can do is it can illuminate areas for us that we maybe haven't seen and if we think about that typical Cancerian energy it's that really nurturing,
Mothering,
Loving energy and that's what we're going to focus on.
2020 and this Capricorn energy is the year of the grind right.
We have been to the depths and now we are ready to climb out with this seagolt of Capricorn and climb up but in order to do that we need to make sure that we are looking after ourselves in every way.
So for this exercise it'd be really good now to grab your pen,
To grab your paper and just to spend some time thinking about what it is that we are building this year.
What it is that you're really grounding into with this Capricorn energy and pulling up from the depths and taking to new heights.
I will keep an eye on the time for you and I'm going to come back to you in two minutes.
You have one minute left.
You have one minute left.
Let's think now about that emotional,
Nurturing,
Mothering,
Cancerian energy and let's take some time to consider where we are not looking after ourselves.
We might not be emotionally looking after ourselves,
It might be physical.
Are we getting enough rest?
Are we eating the right things?
Are we asking for help and support when we need it?
Take some time to consider this and write these things down.
If it feels emotional it's okay to let all of those feelings come up and maybe you just want to sit with them for two minutes.
I'll keep an eye on the time and I'll come back to you.
You have one minute to go.
You have one minute to go.
If that felt emotional or if it felt difficult or it brought up some feelings that you need to process it's absolutely okay to pause now and come back.
But otherwise let's take that list of the ways that we're maybe not looking after ourselves and let's turn that into some positives.
Let's spend the next two minutes thinking about the action steps that we take to make sure that we are emotionally well,
That we are physically well,
That we have the social support and structure around us that we need,
How we can ask for help.
I'll keep an eye on the time for you and it might be nice to use really powerful positive statements to begin everything that you're writing down.
So you might write something along the lines of I ask for help when I need it.
I'll come back to you in two minutes.
So you have one minute remaining.
You can take all your positives and all the ways that you are really committing to looking after yourself and you can place them somewhere that you will see them every day.
You might want to read them in the morning as you set some intentions for the day ahead and you might like to look over them again in the evening and just reflect on your day because the more that we look after ourselves and really make sure that we are nurturing ourselves as we do others,
The more that we will be able to achieve in this beautiful Capricorn energy.
It's time to climb the mountain.
We have to do that from a solid foundation and that includes caring and loving ourselves.
If you'd like to finish the ritual you can take the piece of paper that has all of the ways that you are not looking after yourself and we can symbolically free ourselves of that with this eclipse.
You can safely burn it,
You can rip it up,
You can bury it,
You could even take it to a body of water and let the water take it away under this cancerian eclipse.
Thank you so much for listening.
I hope that the full moon is healing and transformational and a brand new beginning for everyone.
I look forward to speaking with you much more in 2020 with much love.
