Is this full moon seeming to hit you earlier than expected this month? I started feeling it on Sunday, even though the full moon doesn’t peak until tomorrow at 1:38pm central time.
This one is a big one, quite literally…as it is the biggest supermoon of the year.
We all know that the moon’s pull on the tides also pull on our emotions, thus causing disruption in sleep patterns, moods and emotions, and our responses and reactions to people and events.
This July Full Buck Moon seemed to start hitting last weekend, and is lingering, more than usual.
Perhaps this is because this is the biggest supermoon of the year, the time when the moon is closest (and appears the biggest) to the earth.
Perhaps this is because the earth recently hit aphelian (July 4th), the time of year when the earth is farthest from the sun.
Perhaps this is because this full moon is called the Buck Moon because this is when deer’s antlers reach their fullest.
Let’s put all that together.
• The deer brings us to full maturity of our connection to strong gentleness. • The supermoon brings us to deep emotions. • The aphelian brings us to value and appreciate the farthest reach of light.
What this means to me is that this week we Sensitive Souls are being called to be the shining light (sun) and stand powerfully (full antler) in the gentle compassion (deer) that is required as people feel and process and experience deep emotions (moon).
I’ve written before about the role of the sensitive souls on the planet to “compost” all the heavy and tough emotions and traumas of the world. Our purpose is to help others face the heaviest of emotions, to hold them, to absorb them and process them, change them, transmute them and give back gentle love to the world.
Right now, this July full moon, we are being called BIG TIME to do this work.
I’m feeling this in a unique way in my own life. I recently moved into a new-to-me (101 year old) home. Just as a plant needs to be repotted when it grows too big, my spirit had outgrown many energies of my life and needed a new environment, a new energy, a new way to be.
Last year this time, I was sick for six weeks, with the virus that caused the global pandemic. I deeply believe that it took all year for my body, life, and energy to process the deep changes and spiritual upgrade of the virus. And now, as I settle into my new (old) home, I have the space to grow bigger, bolder, stronger (antlers) of compassion and gentleness in my work as a Sensitive Soul.
I also celebrated my birthday on Sunday July 10th, the day I felt the full moon begin to tug. Telling me that this year is a profound one, pulling on me to act, to be, to do, to stand in my power, my strength, my GENTLE GRACE in the work I do on this planet as a Sensitive Soul.
I invite you to do the same. Stand in your gentle strength and grace as a sensitive soul. If you don’t know quite how to do that, I would love to talk with you about how I could mentor you to your own version of gentle grace.
