We end 2023 with a powerful illuminating Full Moon in Cancer on 12/26@4:33 PM PDT. The highlight is on family, ancestors,and any deeply buried hurts that we have not released!! Full Moons always illuminate that which is hidden. It sheds light on situations and allows us to SEE in new ways! Once we are aware of what is hidden….we can then make clear conscience decisions on our way forward!
This FM will facilitate deep transformation! Actually, generational patterns can be identified and allowed to heal when embraced with an open nurturing heart! Please note….this Cancer Full Moon will be quite emotional, allowing us to feel and grieve our many losses…this year and through out our lives. It is important to feel your feelings, and gently release them. I use the word GENTLY, as that is the energy that will heal our hearts and souls. Practice Grace and Kindness to yourself and those around you. We are in year 4 of a 20 year cycle that began in 2020 with a Cosmic Agenda of changing and rebuilding our world. Words of understanding, compassion and kindness go along way. The best way to rebuild is one person at a time. As we each do our own healing and work, we lift all others up!
Astrologically speaking, Mercury in Sagittarius is in his final days of retrograde, as is Jupiter in Taurus….. so reviewing, re-
looking, reassessing and releasing past hurts and disappointments is the best use of this emotionally charged Full Moon energy! 2024 is going to be a year with potent energetic shifts and changes….Best Practice is to start the year with a blank canvas and leave disappointments, pain and grief in 2023.
As you are releasing, consider what you truly VALUE and CARE about. Ponder what brings you a sense of Joy and Happiness. How do you want to deepen your family relations and legacy for generations to come? This Full Moon in Cancer will illuminate what completely nurtures you, your family and your tribe……and this is what you will want to embrace and carry into 2024 as the foundation of the New You in our Ever Changing World!
We must empty our hearts of all the old energy, so we can refresh and fill them with the Cosmic Cocktail aligning with the energetic shift of Pluto into Aquarius….the Innovative, Inventive energy of Good Will and Freedom for all people! 
The Best Crystals to support you in this release:

The Moon Card I pulled for FM in Cancer….
RESISTANCE…….. I meet resistance with kindness!
“Resistance is often a sign that change is happening, or wants to happen. Whether we actively called change into our life, or it’s current sweeps us under, change can sometimes feel uncomfortable. If you’ve hit a wall of resistance, know that this is not the time to quit. This is a powerful moment that is asking you to grow. Breathe, relax, and remain centered, the other side is right there. Allow yourself to expand into possibilities, even if there are a few growing pains along the way. This is exactly where your personal and spiritual practices play a vital role in supporting you. Recall similar moments in the past and how things have a way of working out. Your prior self has gone through so much to get you here. Trust her and remember your tools.
You’re a brave beauty and can meet resistance with kindness! “
From the Moon Deck oracle cards.
Details for your Full Moon Meditation Ceremony and Release….
Full Moons are not time sensitive like New Moons, so no worry to be out at the exact time, which is 4:33 PM PT on 12.26. Any time in the evening will be fine!
Plan to go out under the moonlight so you can soak in this amazing energy. If not, due to weather, find a cozy private place in your home!
Find your spot,clear the energy, have your journal, and your crystals!
Take in a few deep breaths, become fully present, connecting to your Higher self and guides. Say a prayer that includes asking for protection, guidance, while offering your gratitude!
As you begin,write down everything…. remember, you are releasing 2023, old family hurts, and any other persistent grievance! Holding on will only block your clear bright energy for moving forward! Once done, burn the list! You are free!!!!
Here are a few questions to get you thinking and aligned with the 2024 energy of Moving Forward Balanced amidst the chaos,with Courage and Grace. Remember, we are totally rebuilding ALL areas of our lives!
With Mercury RX in expansive Sagittarius…..Think BIG and outside the box for 2024!
* What do you really, really, want?
*Where do you really, really, want to live?
*How can you make more of a difference in your world as we transition into the New Sustainable Cosmic agenda?
*How can you be kinder, gentler, and more fulfilled?
Just a few ideas to consider in preparation for the New Year!
Take full advantage of the last days of the retrograde period! Clean, organize, streamline, put a budget in place! Prepare, prepare, prepare! Once the Retrogrades of Mercury and Jupiter station direct Jan 1, plans will begin to move forward and by the end of January….rapidly!!
Stay Inspired…..Connected….Empowered
Peace and Blessings
