Hello, beautiful souls! 🌕
As we approach the end of 2024, the universe gifts us a week brimming with potent energy. From the 12/12 portal, an incredible time to manifest your dreams, to the magical Goddess Day on Friday the 13th (read more about it here), and finally, the last full Moon of the year, the cosmos invites us to reflect, release, and prepare for new beginnings.
The full moon, a time of completion, signifies the closing of chapters and the clearing of what no longer serves us. This last full moon is particularly significant, offering a powerful opportunity to cleanse and realign for the year ahead. Here are some recommendations to help you embrace this transformative energy.
Significance of This Week
12/12 Portal: A powerful time for manifestation and setting intentions.
Friday the 13th: Celebrating divine feminine energy and healing relationships with feminine energies.
Full Moon on December 15: A time for reflection, release, and harnessing the energy of the full moon.
5 Planets in Retrograde: Until December 15th, five planets are in retrograde, creating a potent energetic landscape. This period can amplify feelings of conflict, frustration, and even anger, especially if these emotions aren’t channeled constructively.
Retrogrades invite us to pause, reflect, and reassess areas of our lives influenced by these celestial bodies. Instead of reacting impulsively, lean into practices that ground and center you. Strengthening your self-care routines during this time can help you stay balanced and aligned. Suggestions for navigating this energy:
Journaling: Reflect on recurring themes or patterns arising for you. Retrogrades often highlight unresolved issues.
Mindful Communication: Choose your words carefully to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Self-Care: Dedicate extra time to nourishing your mind, body, and soul—whether through rest, movement, or creative expression.
Full Moon Recommendations
1. Cleanse and Charge Your Magical Tools
The full moon is the perfect time to purify and energize your crystals, oracle cards, and other sacred tools. Place them where the moonlight can reach them—perhaps on a windowsill or outside in a safe spot. This moon’s energy will help clear the dense vibrations accumulated throughout the year and infuse them with fresh, uplifting energy for 2025.
Tip: Be sure to collect your crystals, before sunrise, as extended sunlight exposure can dull their vibrant colors. Remember, these beautiful crystals form in darkness.
2. Energy Cleansing in Nature
If possible, visit a beach or a natural body of water. Set a clear intention to release negative energy as you step into the water. Feel the waves or stillness of the water washing away heaviness, leaving you lighter and more aligned.
No beach nearby? Take a sea salt bath or shower at home. Add two cups of sea salt to your bath or sprinkle some on the shower floor. Imagine the water cleansing your energy as it flows over you.
3. Cleanse Your Home and Space
A clean and clutter-free space invites fresh energy into your life. Use white sage, or any cleansing herb to smudge your home, moving through each room with the intention of releasing stagnant energy.
After smudging:
Change your bed linens.
Wipe down furniture.
Declutter! Donate, recycle, or discard anything that no longer serves you.
Clearing your physical space creates room for new opportunities and abundant energy.
4. Engage in Full Moon Rituals
Reconnect with yourself and the moon’s energy through nurturing practices:
Yoga or Meditation: Choose a calming full moon flow or a meditation that focuses on release and renewal.
Energy Healing: If you’re attuned to self-healing practices, dedicate time for this. Alternatively, book a professional healing session to go deeper into clearing and balancing your energy. If you prefer a more independent approach, consider using guided meditations, or working with crystals to balance your energy at home. For example, selenite is well-known for clearing the chakras and removing energetic blockages—you can meditate with this crystal to enhance your practice.
Closing Thoughts
This last full moon of 2024 is a sacred moment to pause, reflect, and realign. By embracing these simple yet powerful practices, you can tap into the moon’s energy to cleanse, recharge, and prepare yourself for the blessings of the year ahead.
Take time to honor the cycles of completion and renewal, knowing that every release makes space for something new and beautiful. Let the light of the full moon illuminate your path forward into 2025.
Wishing you love, light, and a magical full moon experience,
Giuliana 💫
