Supermoon, Blue Moon, and Full Lunar Eclipse Activation and 2018 Predictions
The energy of this upcoming full moon on January 31st is a special one. We are experiencing a super moon which means the moon is closest to Earth in its orbit. It will also be a Blue Moon which means it’s the second full moon in the month of January. This is a rare event; it’s the first blue moon lunar eclipse in the US since March 1866 (less than a year after the civil war ended). And no, the reference to it being a blue moon does not mean it will turn a blue color… However, because it is a lunar eclipse, it is considered a Blood Moon as well (and yes, the moon will have a deep red color because the Earth blocks out the sun’s light, turning the moon from a white glowing orb to a deep red orb.) Whew… say all that three times fast!
What does this all mean energetically?
Full moon’s generally signify a time of release.
The fact that we have a blue moon and a lunar eclipse coinciding with the beginning of the year means we are being assisted by the universe to release what no longer serves us on a major level as we step into our purpose of social advancement and change in 2018.
The year of 2018 will have to do with push/pull energy, boundaries and truths being brought to the surface. It is the perfect time to release and let go of old ways especially around selfishness, greed and ignorance, and bring forward your inner most desires to be formulated with all as a group consciousness. What you intend and desire for yourself has a ripple effect and will be felt by the entire planet.
Much has been rising up about inequalities on Earth, and it is only when attention is brought to the surface by the individual and the collective that NEW HOPE can be brought to the millions of people in the world who are still suffering from neglect, indifference and rejection. We are shifting into an energy of solidarity and universal dialogue in 2018.
On a personal level, 2018 is a good year for making lifestyle changes. You may want to start by looking at what areas of your life are complex? This year will not be conducive to waste and unnecessary expenses. Rather, it’s a great year for organizing and simplifying… clearing rooms, clearing energy, clearing heaviness. Letting go of the worries and distractions and allowing the right things to come in to help you uplevel!
If you’ve been thinking about taking on a new diet and fitness regime, this is the time to start. You will find it easier to lose unwanted pounds and to flush away/detox things from the body right now.
Of course, this is a period of a deep letting go, so as you set the intention to release and start your diet, you may also see a shift in your emotions and spirit. Give yourself time leading up to and around the full moon to fully release and recharge.
Your success in 2018 will depend in great part on the quality of communication and your ability to be selfless and generous. Great changes come to you as you provide more acts of kindness and world service. Think about how you can be more generous, and not just with money… think connecting, listening, offering a hand to create change (helping someone redo a room, taking them for a hike, watching someone’s child while they take night classes.) Our solidarity is what gives us the power to make amazing changes in 2018.
You have started understanding how to use the tools of intuition and manifestation. It is important to continue working on mastering these in your everyday life. When you bring forward your gifts in this way, it’s as though you are accessing the divine, God energy, and you are bringing it here on Earth for the betterment of all. This is what it means to be in Oneness energy. To be so highly connected that you are living in a state of love and doing things for the higher good of all involved.
If you hide these gifts, it is like you are playing it small, and basically holding back the evolvement of all. As it is that we are all in this together. We are all here on Earth as a group, going through this as ONE. If that group is to shift, it is done by each and every one of us starting to realize the impact that we all have on one another. We come together on Earth to learn. We go through the experiences under the confines of one fabric of energy. You feel what I feel. This is why we are blessed with the gift of empathy. And while it can be underestimated, it is very powerful if all sentient beings were to tap into this gift all at the same time. Imagine a world where we all trust our gifts enough to feel the whole at once, to register it and know what the whole is experiencing. Most say that feeling in this way is too much. The experience is overwhelming. But are we living in truth then? How can we IMprove as a whole if we don’t even allow ourselves to feel the whole? Is there a way to understand the whole without feeling overwhelmed by the dark truths that exist?
Divine energy would remind you that you are an eternal being, already knowing the “truth.” There is nothing to fear because the truth already exists. The keys to arriving at this truth are to trust and to love. The easiest way to achieve this is to remain calm and relaxed in your energy. I call it being in the eye of the storm. While there may be many “truths” flying about around you (the storm), you are always an eternal being who already KNOWS the truth without having to experience it as drama to come to know it to be true. Example, we already know clean water is best, hence, we do not have to live out a drama of polluting our water to understand clean water is best. So how do you skip the drama part (which is a pretty bumpy ride and includes a lot of twists and turns)? Well, you trust… you tune in and hear the highest truth (what is inclusive for all, highest good for all, produces expansion and allowing for all).
This full moon is all about enLIGHTenment. It is our opportunity to release any and all “charged” feelings and to allow truth to bubble to the surface. We will see this happen outwardly in the news (again, the drama tends to help us arrive at the truth in a twisted and long winding kind of way). There is always what those would have you believe to be true, and then there is what everyone knows to be true (if they simply tune in to Source). The energy of the full moon allows us to go within, to become more aware of these feelings of trust and truth, so we start to understand what it means to live more intuitively.
Many continue to resist and feel unsure about next steps, but you will find that if you stay on course and keep opening up to your intuition, you will find it easier to align with what feels “right” to you (and right to all, the higher good). Changes will happen naturally for you (which will be felt for all). How do you achieve this? Simply hold your vibration steady and trust. Know that everyone struggles and resists, but the more you keep connecting and holding that higher vibration, the easier it will get with time.
The light is revealing much at this time. Think of this full moon as a spotlight, shining light on the truth even more. It will show you more of who you really are. You will feel it more strongly during this time so you don’t forget. At some point, you will know how to access the light more simply as you learn to trust it and bring it in more easily. Once you become familiar with trusting, you will find that there are no doubts or questions. You just simply step into who you truly are and live from that place with grace and gratitude. This strengthens as you become more familiar with your connection to Source. Meditate with the full moon on January 30-31st and ask for Source to reveal TRUTH to you.
Much love to you as you connect,
Mandy Gatlin
