Have you ever had an "off" day? Then you already have a fundamental understanding of what happens energetically when a planet is retrograde.

Powerful Full Moon in Taurus Reveal & Release Ceremony

Ceremonies during astrological power periods help us to make the most of the potentials of the event.

Full Moons often bring things to fruition or fulfillment, marking important endings. Sometimes the Full Moon brings things out of hiding and into the light so secrets and other hidden things can often be brought into the open at this time.  Blocks to desired outcomes can often be revealed and point to steps to take to fulfill the goal.

We can use ceremony including elements (like earth, air, water, or fire), affirmations, visualization, written and spoken word to help us maximize the power of each Full Moon.  When we align our ceremony around the energies of the sign of each Full Moon, we help to amp up our conscious work with them.
