On December 26th the final Full Moon of 2023 rose to the highest point in the sky compared to all others in 2023. This is because the Sun was at its lowest point as seen from the Northern Hemisphere. This Full Moon is also known as the “Cold Moon,” the first Full Moon of Winter.

In this Lunar cycle, the Moon sits opposite the Sun. In astrology, the moon represents our inner worlds. With the Full Moon we have illuminating light from the Sun, cast upon ourselves. We are asked to meet the depths of ourselves in the parts we have kept hidden.

This final Full Moon is in Cancer, a water sign that represents emotions. As the tides rise, our emotions heighten. It is then that we are challenged to recognize our hurts in 2023 as well as the beauty that we experienced. While we recognize and embrace the pain, we can connect with our own unique medicine found within, finding freedom from the past in order to connect to our future selves.

2023 has been such a powerful year of cleansing our inner worlds. The need and opportunity to identify and embrace past traumas and repeating toxic patterns was evident. And now, finally releasing them in order to walk through the door of 2024 in a space that connects you to the true essence of who you are and who you are meant to be in this life. In doing so, you will find your life purpose and vibrate at a higher level.

2024 is about activation and energy. As Pluto moves away from Capricorn and into Aquarius, our worlds and energy will begin to expand. Creativity abounds. 

Take this time, in the last few days of 2023 for self-care. Slow down. Embrace your emotional self. Prepare for the amazing year to come. Open your arms and hearts to the person you are meant to be. 

Sending love and positivity!
