June Moon


Ever have a crazy day where everything seems to be a little bizarre?  Your temperament is off, traffic is crazy…everyone around you seems to be having an off day too!  Then, in the evening when your day is done you notice, “Ah…that’s why today was crazy...the Moon is full!”

Without a doubt, the Moon has some serious stigma attached to it.  The word “lunatic”’ gets its root from the moon.  The werewolves come out and things feel crazy!  Some of you might be skeptics, and others might be firm believers that Mercury in retrograde, our astrological birth signs, and the Moon has plenty to do with our behavior.  Whichever side you stand, statistics have shown that, yes, things do get a little crazy when the Moon is full!

The Moon, despite its manic reputation and freaky stigma, radiates powerful energy that can be a very constructive part of our spiritual and emotional well-being.  The very first step is simply being aware of yourself and the phases of the Moon.  Do you go a little lunar?  Solely knowing when the full moon occurs is a great way of understanding yourself better. 

“Why do I feel so angry for no reason?  Why am I so up and down?  Why am I so flighty?”
Check your calendar and…
“Oh, there’s a full Moon coming!”

Now you’ve got a little insight on where your hectic thoughts or uncalled for stress may be coming from.  Now it’s time to turn those thoughts around and keep you out of the loony bin!

Sit quietly and meditate.  Really investigate where you are coming from and what’s going on with your life.  Be sure to ask yourself. “How are you?” a little more often during the 5-7 day period in which the full Moon occurs.  If you are feeling agitated and anxious, give yourself some time to sit quietly with it and really figure out what’s going on.  It could be merely extra chatter in your mind, or, there could be an issue that is absorbing your peace.  Give yourself the opportunity to examine the stress.  Then, create a plan to let it go.

I have noticed in my own life that the Moon has been full when I’ve felt a little off.  But, as a lover of astrology and born under Cancer, the Moon is my ruler!  If you are a creative person, or born under Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces, the Moon exalts you!  When I began to investigate my sign and notice when the Moon was full, I stopped looking at the Moon for an excuse to be crazy.  

Instead, I started looking to the Moon for inspiration, sensuality, and energy.  I believe that this radiance can be extended to any person with any birthday!  The Moon is ours to share!

Notice yourself; notice the phases of the Moon.  Change your perspective on what you see when the Moon is full.  Instead of looking at all the hysteria around you, look within you, and look above you.  The Moon is captivating, moving, and beautiful! 

Break the stigma that follows the full Moon and harness its enchanting energy!  The winters of Pittsburgh can get us really blue, but when spring comes and the Sun’s warmth returns, we relish in longer days, more vitality, and more happiness with ease.  Give the Moon the same opportunity to empower, rejuvenate and motivate you!

Incorporate salt into your hygienic routine.  This will give you an energetic rinse before you soak up the Moon’s potent energetic rays. 

*Epson salt, although relaxing and beneficial, does not bring about the same results as other salts available.  Choose an unrefined salt such as sea salt or pink Himalayan salt.  Do not use table salt!

Work to manifest your constructive affirmations with the help of the full Moon’s presence.  Incorporate visualizations of yourself accomplishing your dreams with ease in your meditation.  Give yourself the opportunity to find your limitless potential by seeing yourself fulfilled and complete. 
Meditations are amplified when implemented in numbers and under a full Moon’s night.  Have a full Moon party and celebrate the coming of the full Moon!  Share a Moonlit yoga practice with Moon salutations under the summer night’s sky and practice a meditation of gratitude and empowerment together!  The moon boosts creative energy.  Sing, play music, dance, and experiment artistically at your full Moon gathering!

Now, with a constructive plan and opinion of the full Moon, experience the transformation from lunar to liberated!  Let’s celebrate the Moon this June!
