Yasmin Boland Moonology Manifestation Deck

Mercury has finally gone direct and we’re in the post-shadow phase now.

This means the Mercury energy will continues to work practical magic as it moves through Virgo until October 10.

This week leading up to the Full Moon was best dedicated to doing recon work, since details have a strange way of sliding through the cracks during a retrograde.

We will have also experienced some enlightening on Thursday when Mercury The Messenger trines (harmonizes) with Pluto The Transformer & Shadow Self.

And we’ll have even more reasons to hold off on making any big moves from Tuesday at 6:45 pm until Friday, October 7 at 10:40 pm EST because of what’s known as a Hellenistic Void of Course Moon.

Want to cross all your "T's"? Then you’ll need to search for the deeper reason that is pushing you to make decisions that aren't in your best interest rather than just "fixing" things on the surface.

This Saturday, as mysterious Pluto completes its annual retrograde, more mysteries come to light. It's possible that this period of introspection, which started on April 29, has provided some enlightening revelations. But take a deep breath!

A volcano shifting from "dormant" to "active" is how Pluto emerges from a retrograde. Anything lying below the surface can suddenly spring out like hot lava. Pluto rules the worlds of money, power, and sex, so before the day is out, some scandals may reach national news. And just in time for Eclipse season to take over and blow things out of the water!

Finally Sunday, October 9th, is the sole full moon of the year occurs in passionate, fiery Aries, giving you the energy to accomplish a personal objective or let your lone star shine. Dare to step into the limelight! A six-month-old project of yours might finally be finished with a lot of energy and fanfare (as it should be – Celebrate Yourself!)

The video and rest of this blog will help us to best work with the energy of the Aries Full Moon and to gain insight on why the Shadow and Shadow Work are nothing to fear!

Applying the Lunar Wisdom Formula

This is the first Full Moon of the Fall season that is lightly ushering us into doing shadow work before the upcoming Eclipse series starting on 10/25/22. The Fall and Winter are times of dimming light – when the shadow grows and offers us great insight into our personal development.

Anyone who is an Aries or Libra Sun, Moon or Rising will be impacted greatly by this lunation. We have also made it all the way back to the 1st Zodiac sign in the Full Moon cycle, representing yet another midway point of energetic cycles for the year.

Use the next 2 weeks to really focus on yourself in a big way as we move from socially focused Libra♎️ to Martian-influenced Scorpio♏️ season. This will allow you to take this focus deep and explore your inner power - especially as Fall Eclipse Season heads in on 10/25/22.

Working With The Moon Cycle 🌕🌑

We have all been taught to fear the dark and shadow – yet it is the feminine energy force that powers all of creation. It is really, just a representation of what it means to have an internal energetic focus versus an external one. Good thing the Aries Full Moon brings along with it a little fire to light the way initially.

You will need to power of temperance during this weekend as passions burn bright and Aries energy is very “self” focused. That is in direct contrast to the solar energy in Libra on partnerships of all kinds, but that is the exact dynamic that is created when there is Full Moon – opposition!

Be on the lookout for the set-up of any issues that will visit us during the Eclipse later this month. Often things get triggered as far as 6 weeks before the event happens. This is because the energy signature of eclipses is more like 12-18 months versus the usual 2 week/6 month imprint of a regular new or full moon.

The Beauty of The Shadows

The idea of the shadow self, which has roots in Jungian psychology.

According to Jung, a person's personality consists of both their public persona and their secret or hidden self, or shadow self. Contrary to the persona, the shadow self frequently possesses qualities that the person would prefer not to display.

The shadow, in contrast, was not seen by Jung as a demeaning or shameful aspect of a person's nature. It was crucial to his understanding of their psychology.

Blending of the persona and the shadow is the main objective of shadow work, which teaches individuals how to control urges they ordinarily suppress, such wrath or greed.

Jung also believed that the collective unconscious influences the shadow. The collective unconscious is a Jungian idea that refers to the collective memories and impulses of society as a whole. As a result, systemic issues such as racism also fit into Jung’s idea of what the shadow-self comprises.

Just as shadow work might help a person confront the parts of their personality that they usually avoid, Jung thought it might allow them to address prejudices and impulses resulting from broader social ills.

Doing Shadow Work

Even if it makes you feel uneasy or frightened, exploring the shadow self is the first step in shadow work and essentially shining brighter!

Some specific approaches to do this inner work include:

Dream Analysis
Psychotherapy
Journaling
Sand tray therapy

Additional Beginners tips:

move slowly
be mindful that shadow work can be difficult and upsetting
practice self-care and compassion when unexpected thoughts or feelings come up
approach your shadow self with a spirit of love, curiosity and acceptance.

If you can work with these principles, then you can begin a process of balancing yourself out by doing the necessary shadow work most of us neglect!

Under the light of this “Me” focused Full Moon you can get a great advantage and insight from looking under your own hood…so to speak.
