Today the full moon moved into Aquarius and illuminated the contrasting energies of a Leo Sun and Aquarius moon. Leo invites us to turn inward and reflect on the brilliance of our individuality while standing boldly in the spotlight. Whereas, Aquarius calls us to focus outward and lean into how we can make a meaningful impact on our community. It is through the combination of these two energies that a beautiful life of service blooms, where our unique gifts and talents can uplift our environment.
For me, serving my community meant first identifying and cherishing my own talents, passions, and gifts. Additionally, to accept these qualities, releasing any limiting beliefs or narratives that hinder their expression is just as important so that “Shannon” can fully emerge, ready to offer her authentic expression to the world. Lastly, I have learned that in order to give back to my community in a powerful way, I must first fill my own cup. For me this means:
1. Participating in and amplifying the experiences that bring me JOY
2. Confidently speaking my sacred no when a request is not in alignment
3. Holding true to my boundaries
4. Honoring my self-care plan
5. Acknowledging of my needs and desires and voicing them unapologetically
By actively listening and attuning to my inner-net, I have been able to serve from a place of abundance because my cup is overflowing. Consequently, I notice my ability to remain satiated after pouring my JOY into everyone. Therefore, this full moon is an invitation to become clear on what nourishes your soul and ignites your JOY while also compassionately examining what may be holding you back from your true potential. It invites us to explore how the JOY you cultivate through introspection and embracing all aspects of your being-ness unlocks the boundless radiance that is YOU, ready to be shared with your community and the world at large. May this full moon inspire you to go within and bring your authentic abundance to the dance of life where it can serve others and create a ripple effect of positive transformation.
