Prompt:

*Check what houses this Full Moon is happening in within your chart (house meanings above)*

Take some time to reflect on the past 6 months (from last July’s New Moon in Cancer) - where were you then (based on the houses this full moon is impacting) in comparison to where you are now. Answer the following questions for yourself:

• What parts or extensions of you have grown since last July? What has that journey been like? What have you encountered & learned?
• What emotions have you suppressed? What did you cover them with? Are you still doing this?
• What has been one of your most consistent emotional states over the past 6 months?
• In what ways have you allowed this emotion to take up space, move through you or hold you hostage?
• What did your upbringing & parents teach you about your emotions & how to deal with them? How has that played out in your life & decision making?
• Who in your life feel like home? What makes you feel safe and secure? Have you told/showed them gratitude?
• What manifestations, emotional growth & /or new structures (that you’ve cultivated over the past 6 months) are you celebrating today?
• Note anything else that comes up for you during this exercise.

*When the Moon moves into her waning phase, we can take what we’ve learned and reflected on to make any adjustments, hone in & build on the things that have worked for us, cut out any excess &/or detrimental patterns.
