Hello and welcome friends!
Today we're going to talk about that blue full moon in Sagittarius.
And the first thing we want to note about this full moon is that it's the second one this month.
If you recall,
We had that full moon in the sign of Scorpio on May 1st.
And just a side note,
I am using Moonology by Yasmin Boland because you know I consider her the holy grail of everything moon.
Related.
So looking at her book,
Now we get a full moon in the sign of Sagittarius on the last day of the month.
So this is officially known as a blue moon,
Which is where the phrase once in a blue moon comes from by the way.
For those of you who don't know,
I did not know that for the longest time.
A blue moon isn't important astrologically.
Neither is the fact that there are two full moons in a calendar month.
However,
It is symbolic and life is all about symbolism.
And remember,
How you do one thing is how you do everything.
Everything is interconnected.
So why not use this blue moon energy around now to achieve that one thing you thought you never would?
Better yet,
You can use it to forgive that one person you thought you never could.
All right,
Those two sentences are loaded and I'm loving them.
I know this is a hard one,
But think of it like this.
Maybe the person was raised in a way that didn't bring out their best qualities.
Maybe they don't have a great personality like you.
I'm not even joking.
You If you can understand that whoever has hurt you either had no idea what they were doing or just did it anyway because they're not that great of a person in this lifetime,
Then it's easier for you to accept what happened and move on.
Better still,
If you can take some responsibility for whatever occurred between you,
It will make the process a lot easier.
To help.
I am already thinking of someone that.
.
.
I would love to forgive and I think I have in many ways and you know that's my ex-husband and he's crossed over but even on the other side I felt like I needed to give him forgiveness and I also accepted a lot of responsibility for what happened in our relationship so I really love this prompt.
So going back to her book there's an excellent link between Mercury the planet of communications and Chiron the healing planet.
Under this full moon,
This can be interpreted two ways.
For a start,
It means that more than ever,
Laughter is the best medicine,
Especially when it comes to releasing past upsets.
It also means that a healing conversation can happen now.
All right,
So I don't have that option with someone who is crossed over,
But I can still do,
You know,
My own letter writing,
Which is something that I love.
To put forgiveness in there and I could probably think about what he might respond.
So forgive the unforgivable.
Under this rare blue moon,
Take a moment to be brutally honest with yourself.
Who have you been unable to forgive?
And what did they do that felt unforgivable?
Say their name out loud.
Close your eyes and picture them.
See them as someone who is doing their best even if they're failing miserably and behaving abominably.
And once again,
I can think of many instances where my ex-husband did behave in ways that sometimes felt unforgivable.
But I think for my own peace,
I have found ways to forgive that as well.
All right,
Friends,
So I have some journaling prompts for you.
About holding on to past pain in particular,
How does holding on to this pain serve me?
That's an interesting prompt and I can't wait to hear what kind of responses you have for that one.
But the second prompt,
What would change if I released this anger?
And what's the most compassionate thing I can say about this person?
Beautiful prompts,
My friends.
Let's listen to Blossom Violet's beautiful music and let's do some journaling.
All right,
My friends,
I hope that you were able to get some amazing thoughts and write about some forgiveness in your journal.
And if you need more time,
Feel free to pause or go back once this track has finished.
And as always,
I would love to hear in the comments what your thoughts were about this one.
This was a huge one for me because,
As I mentioned,
Wanting to forgive my ex for a lot of the things that happened is still a work in progress for me.
And as I said,
He's crossed over,
He's on the other side.
So I can't have conversations with him.
I can,
They're kind of one sided.
But I don't,
I can imagine what he would say if he were still alive.
I feel like on the other side,
He's a much more enlightened soul.
And his responses now would be a lot better than they would have been in this life.
What holding on to that pain,
How did that serve me?
Obviously,
Pain protects us in so many ways.
And I'm sure if you've been holding on to some pain,
It's been a form of protection for you.
And for me,
It's also been perhaps a little bit of an excuse not to accept my own part in what went wrong for us.
So what changed when I released this anger?
It's that freedom,
That freedom of letting these things out of your head.
Me all the time how could I forgive some of the things he did he had done and honestly it was because I didn't want him occupying space in my head or in my heart.
So think about that when you think about someone that you need to forgive.
And that third prompt,
What's the most compassionate thing I can say about this person?
I always remembered that he had good intentions,
Even if he didn't always show them.
You know,
There were times he could be.
.
.
A kind-hearted person,
A good person.
Sadly,
Those times did not,
I guess,
I don't want to say compensate,
But did not,
They were not as frequent as the other.
Things that happens which i'm not going to get into but i have learned to let it go i've learned to forgive and i have an amazing life and two beautiful sons which i'm incredibly incredibly grateful for And friends,
If you want to do a little more work on writing letters like these,
I also have some prompts for letter writing and some tracks about writing letters of forgiveness to yourself,
To other people.
And I'm actually considering doing an entire course around that.
So let me know in the comments if that's something that you would be interested in because these letters of forgiveness and these letters to my future self and my former self have been incredibly healing to me.
All right,
Friends.
So until next time,
I hope that you're having an amazing week.
I will be back in touch in two weeks when we deal with the next new moon coming up,
Which is always another one of my favorites.
And remember to keep shining like the beautiful bright diamonds that you are.
