Our Emotions Will Save Us

Full Moon at 23* Cancer

We come to the enlightened stage of our Capricorn Moon cycle today with a full Moon at 23* Cancer.

This Moon shines a light on how the structures of your life are working and how you FEEL about them. Cancer energy focuses on initiating emotional states.

In a Capricorn lunar month, we’re being asked, what do you create based on how you’re feeling?

This work helps us fine tune the knee jerk reactions we take in different situations. Do you reach for a numbing activity when you’re stressed, for example. Or, on the other end of the spectrum, do you numb when you feel too good?

Furthermore, do you let your emotions guide your bigger decisions or do you ignore them and move forward with what your mind tells you is the logical thing to do because this will ‘get me out of feeling these feelings’.

We override emotions all the time, mostly at our own peril.

So, was there something you started at the beginning of this lunation that seemed like a good idea… a new project, goal or lifestyle change?

At this full Moon, ask yourself how you’re feeling about it now.

Is working on that goal fueling you in an exciting way or does it feel heavier and more frustrating each time you take action?

Today Mars is sitting next to the full Moon while also opposing Pluto. Mars opposing Pluto is the cosmic equivalent of the Individual Will in contrast to Divine Will.

Are you using your will to create from the ego, wanting to feel powerful based on lower vibrational metrics?

Or are you working to expand into the power of your Soul and higher Self, where the standard measure has nothing to do with proving your worth and everything to do with owning it?

I’m looking at how everything feels energetically in my own life.

One small, but typical, example that came up recently: I’ve realized every time I use an anti-aging face lotion and rub it into my skin, the underlying energetic message I’m sending to my body is ‘you’re not good enough the way you are. I need you to change’… this, two times every day!!

How could that energy ever produce good results?

It’s time to let go of trying to ‘fix’ ourselves. This is a waste of good energy and completely counterproductive.

Instead, Cancer energy focuses on taking great care of ourselves, and others, from a loving perspective.

When I think instead, I’m devoted to helping the skin on my face feel nourished, I get entirely different results. It feels better, instead of judgmental.

This is how I know I’m on the right track.

I also have to let go of any expectations the wrinkles will go away when I use that lotion.

It’s the harder work because that thought comes from messages received one hundred times a day that wrinkles are not ok.

These stories aren’t mine, nor my Soul’s, and are very toxic.

Time to question all toxic stories running in the background of each of our lives. They’re the ones that make you feel like crap, so pay attention.

We’ve also just had a big Nodal Shift on January 11th from the Aries/Libra axis to the North Node in Pisces, South Node in Virgo. There’s so much to say about this collective shift, but at this full Moon, here are some specific questions that may come up:

Where do I fit in the paradigm of life as it is today?

How do I stay grounded in a world that’s burning/flooding/warring?

Where do I hold myself to a standard of perfectionism that is shutting down my light?

We’ll toggle back and forth for the next 18 months between our individual work and the work we all do together on this planet.

We’ll start to see ourselves as a part of a much bigger community than we ever imagined possible in our singular human bodies. This will be both awe-inducing and incredibly unsettling.

This is why knowing our own heart is so important. It’ll anchor us in these times of extreme change we’ll experience over the next few years.

Using our emotions as a guidance system to clear our energy fields of toxic beliefs creates room for heart coherence, and this is how our emotions will save us.

Emotional intelligence is heart intelligence,

and the heart is far smarter than the mind. It’s fueled by our Soul and Divine Universal energy. Becoming intimately connected to this part of your being is the doorway to your path in the Aquarian age.

When our goals reflect these new metrics, we have success that far exceeds our low level expectations, and instead, catapults us into a dimension where more fulfilling work is done.

This eliminates that feeling of ‘I’ve reached my goal but I still feel empty’ so many of us have experienced. Those goals were pushed through by the lower will and much lower agendas.

Let your heart and emotions take the lead.

Listen to the niggling feelings that won’t go away.

They’re very important and wise messages, that when listened to, will create a life filled with wonder and grace, even when times are challenging.

Feeling all the feels with you,

Kimberly
