Authenticity, the New Normal?
Full Moon in Aries/Krittika invites us to keep the flame of our truth burning bright as bright!
it's friday, november 15, & we have a full moon maxing out in aries, in the starspace called krittika (slice of aries sky), this afternoon. so let's dig into the good, the bad & the maybe ugly. ...
full moon in aries means sun is blasting his light from the opposite sign of libra, where this lunar cycle started two weeks ago with the new moon there. libra is all about our relationships, aries about ourself: the aries-libra axis is "me"-"thee," "self"-"others." libra is the sun's sign of debilitation, where his light is most diminished & he/we are most humbled, which can manifest as insecurity & worthlessness. while sun has been hanging out in libra for the past month, we may have been feeling some flavor of that—or all flavors, like neapolitan ice cream! showing up with less ego in relationship def has value, showing up with no ego not so much.
krittika is ruled by agni, the spark of light in the dark, the fire of purification that burns away untruths, inauthenticity, shame, weakness, delusions.
aries invites us to recalibrate, rebalance the scales, add more "me" back into the relationship equation, to say, "cut it out" if we've been sacrificing the truth of who we are b/c we think we'll be more likable. the parts of us that don't seem to conform can be our greatest gifts, our greatest source of power.

what if being our most ecstatically authentic selves was the new normal?!
inquiry for the full moon: "what is true for me in this moment?"
tap into the full moon energy & inspiration by writing your untruths on a piece of paper & burning them. light a candle as a reminder to nourish your own light & to keep shining it brightly.
also in the mix: saturn, after months of traveling backward, is finally moving forward, so IN-joy the ability to work harder, recommit, feel like you're no longer in limbo. • sun is moving into scorpio early evening, so take the night off if you can while he resettles. • moon moves into her happy place of taurus, ruled, like friday, by venus, planet of our earthly pleasures, so do IN-joy a weekend of creature comforts with or without your favorite creatures.
TL;DR
time to right any imbalance between “me” & “thee.” • toss delusions into the fire of purification. • ride the oomph of saturn moving forward. • delight in creature comforts with the creatures who comfort you this weekend.
& that’s your daily bliss! IN-joy! 🌕🙏✨
