Full moon in Ophiuchus- Pick your poison

The June full moon falls in the mystical and "forgotten" sign of Ophiuchus on the 11th of June at 5:13 PM.

Ophiuchus, "The serpent bearer," reminds us to embrace change and take the power to transform ourselves.

We do have the power to change how we feel, think, and react to lifes challenges, but sometimes, through heartache and hard times, it is easy to feel defeated and out of control.

This full moon can be difficult for many. It can force us to confront our pain and traumas head-on. You may find that the universe is going hard on you but know that you are not alone in this phase.

It is helpful and necessary to take the time to confront the pain of the past to heal, process and move on to a better future.

The subconscious mind is complex and has the capacity to reflect unresolved trauma into our present daily lives. These moments in time constantly affect our connection to the outside world, sometimes in subtle ways.

It's time to lean into the hurt and consider how you are being affected. Be mindful of the beliefs you carry into your life and the effects this can have on all aspects of decision-making.

From seemingly simple behaviour patterns like whether we clean the house or not, who we are, and the chances we take to physical pain and disease.

Take a day to reflect on your beliefs. What are they? Where do they come from? When did you begin to think this way?

It can be difficult to change, but when approached mindfully, it becomes obvious that these thoughts constantly shape one's reality.

Reflect on your fears. Where do they stem from? What are you truly afraid of? Are the consequences of your fears real or imagined?

What drains your soul? What makes you unhappy? What is holding you back from becoming the best version of yourself? Be the person you want to be.

The universe is full of magic and is fully supportive of your growth. Change is constant and inevitable in this life, so make the change for the better.

You can make your life whatever you want it to be; stand strong and unwavering in your new beliefs.

Trauma can get you stuck in a repetitive pattern; it may seem that you always attract certain kinds of people, and you may notice recurring events "out of your control" This is the full moon to lean into your thoughts and feelings and to put an end to the cycle of your behaviour and destructive thought patterns.

Who or what are you giving your power away to? Draw on your inner strength, the parts of you that have kept you going through the hard times. Life is hard, and you're a survivor—we all are.

Use that strength and get support from others. You will be surprised at how many people understand what you need instinctively. The universe will send help and people to help you. Look for signs and recognise that we are all human and in this together. You may find that once you drop your walls, others will be willing to do the same, and you may find that you have experiences in common.

Ophiuchus was known to the Greeks as the "bridge between life and death," so pay respects to the people you have lost, draw on the strength of your ancestors, and learn who they are and where they came from.

Acknowledge the growth in yourself and others and be grateful for that growth.

Are you attracting people in your life that are less than helpful? How does this process happen?

It's empowering to realise that when you change the way you react, you can begin to feel in control of your physical and mental space.

The good news is that you do have the power to change these patterns and embrace a new reality through spiritual alchemy.

It starts with shining a light on painful parts of your life by facing them head-on.

Sit with your feelings. It is okay and normal to feel broken, angry, and sad. It's difficult to accept that these things have happened to you, but the reality is they have.

Process the pain, write it down, have a decent cry, dance, sing whatever it takes and leave it in the past. Move forward, knowing that you are not defined by your experiences in life.

You can be the boss 😎

You can say NO 😑

I will NOT feel this way anymore ✋️💪🌄

be super super brave and probably a bit sick but...

I know you will feel better once it's over.
