It's definitely an advantage to live our lives with the knowledge that we are made up of energy and that everything around us is also made of energy.....and we need to remember that our emotions are also just energy!

E-motions (energy in motion) come and go and they can also be affected by what is going on around us energetically. 

The full moon is one of those things that can greatly affect our energy/emotions as the fuller the moon, the greater the pull on the water in our body (just like the moon pulls the tides) and guess where our energy vibrations are most active? Within the water in our bodies! 

We are made up of around 60% water so there can be a lot of emotional shifts going on during the lunar phases which are of course heightened when the moon is at it's fullest. Just ask teachers, nurses and doctors how their shifts go around the full moon!

And depending on what time of the year it is and where the moon is in the sky, it can have an extra layer of specific energy that we can harness and use for our benefit.

You don't have to be a Cancerian to make use of this full moon energy as it affects all star signs, although those born under the Cancer sign may feel this energy a little more than others.

This first full moon of 2023 occurs in Cancer on January 7th here in Australia around mid morning. January's full moon is also known as the Wolf Moon.

Full moons are always a time of powerful manifesting, achieving our goals and releasing energy that we no longer want or need to carry over to the next month. And just as the full moon marks a completion or an ending to something....it is also the start of something new as the cycle begins again.

• is all about an emotional release which is very fitting for the start of our new year. It's a great time to reset our hearts and minds and that's just what an emotional release can give us which is what this watery full moon may have in store for you....have the tissues on hand and be ready to release the past!
    
• this full moon is in opposition to Mercury's first retrograde of the year (the first of 4!) but it is in harmony with Uranus retrograde. With these 2 planets in orbit of the moon, we are given a great chance to heal our past and let go of emotional baggage. It's a wonderful opportunity to start 2023 with a fresh slate.
  
  
• because there are many astrological occurrences happening at once, this may mean you find yourself unable to communicate properly or speak your truth clearly...this can lead to tensions, arguments and miscommunication. So if you are feeling a bit tense, this might be why! Just know that this will pass and it's a much better use of your time for self reflection and looking inwards rather than hash anything out with another person. 
  
  
• this energy in Cancer is also here to show us that ALL our feelings matter and are valid even if they don't make much sense. They are still your feelings and here to teach you about yourself so let this full moon shine a light on them and see if you can get an idea of what they are trying to show you or point out. The biggest take away is please don't ignore your feelings! Give them space by feeling them, writing them down and see what clarity or answers drop in because of this.
  
  
• you may find that you are wanting to distract yourself with bad habits at the moment as this is often what we do when we don't want to feel our feelings. If you can pause before your known 'distracting habits' take over and remind yourself that this is what's happening...you may be able to feel things for a while instead of taking that well worn path that you've set up to feel less uncomfortable. It will really serve you so much more if you can listen to what you REALLY need right now.
  
  
• this full moon is a gentle and timely reminder to get uncomfortable for a short while, release what you can and be ready for the honest answers and insight that may drop in for you to have a better 2023

Support for Kids

Ok...so you know there will be tears...just be prepared for your kids to be extra emotional and even if it doesn't feel like it....remember that it is great when they are letting out their feelings! Better out than in! Just try and make home a supportive environment for them to express what they are feeling and listen to anything they have to say surrounding these emotions.

You might notice that older kids are trying to distract themselves from feeling these strong feelings right now....they might be on their screens more or eating more than usual. Gently encourage getting into water - a swim would be brilliant or even a shower or bath as water can help with moving and letting out the emotions. Encouraging any journal writing or drawing and painting at the moment would too.

Be aware that there might be arguments and miscommunication between yourself and your kids as everyone feels this tension of not being able to communicate properly and try and shut down any battles or big conversations for another day. Best to not bring up or explain anything important until you have a more supportive energy to do this. If you have a child that already finds it hard to express themselves, then this will be even harder for them right now so just be there to help them along as best you can.

Siblings may be arguing more as they unload their uncomfortable feelings! I want to say put some ear plugs in and let it wash over you but I know that is pretty impossible! But just having the awareness that there are contributing energetic factors to this at the moment should help and try and get the kids to do some solo activities or have time alone.

Make sure you are gentle with yourself and others right now and reap the benefits of working with the energy within you and around you...
