The Last Full Moon of 2023 falls in Emotional and Sentimental Cancer on December 26^th, coming on the heels of the Christmas holiday, highlighting matters revolving around Family and Tradition, Home, Property and Land, Nurturing, Care, Protection and Support. There’s a Connection and a Remembrance of the Past, while this phase could also pave the way for a few New Traditions.

Jupiter in Taurus aligns favorably with this Full Moon sending blessings of Abundance and Prosperity. You may feel Full of Gratitude as your cup is overflowing – and this shows up not just in material things, but also Emotionally and Spiritually, as there is a feeling of having and/or Being Enough. Take a pause and appreciate how far you’ve come and how much you’ve grown on several levels as the year comes to a close.   

Saturn in Pisces also aligns beautifully with the Full Moon, giving form to some of your imaginings and visionary goals, modeling and constructing your life and lifestyle with more feeling, awareness and sensitivity.

This period could call on you to reflect on your part and purpose, recalling situations, scenarios and memories of long ago, replaying out on the movie screen of your mind’s eye, you may recognize the illusion and that things didn’t happen the way you remembered, or things aren’t as you thought they were, or perhaps you feel differently than you once did. Time seems to fade away as this sensitive phase brings a feeling of nostalgia and the mood to reminisce about old times with familiar faces. This period gives space for pause and reflection as if you’re taking a last look around before departure as you prepare to step into a New Year which has a faster and more futuristic flavor.     

On another level, time feels timeless as you could be slipping in and out of timelines and realities.   

Mercury retrograde and Mars in Sagittarius meetup and give a knock to Neptune in Pisces, suggesting that there’s a repeated message, that you may have initially missed, or overlooked or something that you’d gotten wrong, or misunderstood, or were misled to believe, that you may have to take another look at, gaining a deeper understanding of the bigger picture and its’ multilayers. 

On another level, there’s a message coming through in your dreams, or from your Intuition and Higher Guidance, nudging you in a particular direction. Tune in as these Heavenly Bodies are hovering close to the Galactic Center, stirring Direct Communication from Divine Source during this period. 

Venus in Scorpio also adds her allure, attraction, beauty, charm, and magnetism to the mix making for a magickal phase with meaningful encounters and soul connections. 

As 2023 closes, be mindful that it’s a year number Seven, a year of Spiritual Focus, Reflection, Introspection and tapping into your Intuition, a year to go within and do the real work on oneself- if you dare. While it may appear that you haven’t achieved or accomplished all that you set out to do on an outer level, there’s been much going on under the surface, it’s been a year of Deep Healing, of tackling long-standing issues, no longer able to be avoided, dodged or to pretend and sweep it all under the carpet. No. Instead, matters were to be faced as they are, which potentially is a painful process at times, but gives rise to personal paradigm shifts which aids in shifting the whole collective consciousness as the work done on an individual level ripples out into the Cosmos touching us ALL.   

One of the biggest takeaways of the year was that 2023 introduced a New Level of Love – Self- Love - as Venus met with several Heavy Hitter planets during the first quarter of the year, burning through those obstructions keeping you from it, helping to restructure relationship boundaries and eliminate walls, learning to love your uniqueness, knowing your worth and understanding your place and level of importance and priority within your connections and aligning with who or what supports you,  having the courage to be honest with yourself about your needs and to go after your desires, acting in your own best interests, being authentic and making peace with wounded parts. As if that wasn’t enough, the Goddess of Beauty and Love spent the Summer retrograde in Leo, taking a Deep Dive Vision Quest exploration of Self-Love or the lack of and why - urging you to get in touch with the Inner Child and Heart’s Desires, acknowledging those things that light you up and Inspire. By the Autumn Equinox, there was a new program running based on Honesty and Authenticity, following a Purge and Purification.   So, Know that this indeed is an important Accomplishment in and of itself and that will become more evident if it’s not already. No Worries. 

Chiron in Aries is also moving to Direct motion during this phase, giving the green light, moving you forward in your Healing Journey and taking you to the Next Level. 

Have a Merry Christmas, Yuletide Blessings and a Happy New Year!

Full Moon Blessings and Good Vibes to ALL!
