The Super Full Moon & Mercury Retrograde: Time to Look Deep Within
Here we are, just a couple of days out from the second Super Full Moon (November 5th) in a row and less than a week from Mercury moving fully into retrograde (November 9th). Man, oh, man! Can you feel the Super Full Moon already pulling the tides of our planet, shifting the winds of the collective, and illuminating every fiber of our energy systems?
This one is a strong one, and it arrives right on the heels of a multi-day solar wind storm. Adding extra umph to everything!
I can’t tell if I’m exhausted or exhilarated anymore—it all feels oddly 'normal' these days! ;-)
But what I can tell you is that this Super Full Moon is a major opportunity for us to take a deep and honest look at how well we are implementing the new thought patterns, emotional codes, daily habits, and life choices that best align with the new vibrational frequencies. These are the frequencies we stepped into following the intense healing and releasing work we did during eclipse season.
Even more so, this lunation is shining a full moon spotlight on the places in our lives we need to further address, especially with regards to Mercury’s themes of communication, relationships, and how authentically we show up in our lives.
Remember, these themes have been presenting themselves to us through this pre-shadow phase. They are deeply personal, and often the roots go back into childhood or even past life issues, which can make them difficult to identify. The block may be embedded in our: energy systems, autonomic nervous systems, unexplored belief systems, subconscious thought patterns, generational lines, etc.
The beauty of this Super Full Moon is that it shines deep into all our inner crevasses to reveal our truth.
It is up to us then to muster our courage to look. Then, we muster more courage, mixed with compassion to take the action to integrate what we find.
The energy around this Super Full Moon (solar, planetary, collective) is freaking intense—it WILL shine the light in, around, and straight through whatever you need to address. All things that need realigning with the new higher frequencies will be on the surface.
A Warning: If you close your eyes or turn your head now, when Mercury moves retrograde on 11/9, you may not see what you are about to walk headfirst into!
But if you are continuing to do your work (with many sporadic nap breaks—they are essential these days!), you will not only be prepared, you’ll feel the support of Mercury’s retrograde. Its movement back through our past patterns will feel like the sacred opportunity for growth and ascension that it truly is, instead of the typical sh*t storm of chaos. Oh, sure. There will be turbulence and unexpected shifts, but you’ll be aware of their reasons and be well centered within so you successfully navigate through.
There are two other important points to keep in mind through this Mercury retrograde:
Massive Realignment: The collective and individual realignments happening now are about dismantling the old paradigms of instinctual survival and hierarchical power structures and building new, higher consciousness life paradigms.
Holiday Impact: Mercury’s three-week retrograde ends after the USA’s Thanksgiving, but the post-shadow doesn't end until 12/19. This means we are taking this energy rhythm fully into the holiday season—an already intense family, cultural, and religious emotional time—which equals increased turbulence.
I explain both these points in detail and provide guidance on navigating them in past newsletters/blogs. I recommend a read or a refresher re-read to stay empowered this season! Here are the links:
