This week’s Transit
Full Moon & Partial Lunar Eclipse
Gate 8, Gate of Contribution
On Friday (in Australia), we will experience the intense energy of the full moon, which also happens to be a partial lunar eclipse. Full moon energy invites you to explore and let go of what keeps you from living life authentically. Eclipse energy will then amplify the intensity of the full moon, making it a cracker of a week for self-expression.
This full moon transit falls in Gate 8, the Gate of Contribution. The energy Gate 8 will bring this week is a deep need to express yourself authentically. The full moon/eclipse energy will provide you with the gusto you need to let go of anything that feels sticky. Especially the personal narratives that might be blocking your authenticity from shining through. Some people may feel pressure to have clarity around life’s purpose, leading to feelings of confusion and failure.
The beauty of this full moon is that it is here to remind us that your life’s purpose is not about what you do but about how you ‘be’. ‘You are your life’s purpose. When you live the full expression of your authentic self, you are operating as the person you are designed to be, which is your contribution to the world. To get to this place of authenticity, the full moon invites you to release anything or anyone getting in the way.
Gate 8’s energy will allow you to feel naturally drawn to what is new and innovative. You might feel like you want to get things done, make a difference and create change. All good possibilities can’t happen unless you connect with the correct energies or people and be recognised for your efforts. The key to your success is proper timing and finding the right things to respond to. So sometimes, that means you need to wait for the right opportunity to present themselves. So leaning into your Strategy and Authority will help you stay true to who you are, opening up space for things to shift. You might feel vulnerable during this time, but you will be rewarded if you can learn to push through and express yourself truthfully. Easier said than done, but do try. An uncompromised life is way more fun!
