With the Sun having moved into Aquarius about one week ago, and with Mercury and Mars both in the sign, there’s a good chance that you’ve been thinking a good deal about who you are and what your role is in service to humanity…or at least that you’ve been thinking about why you’re here on this earth in this life and what purpose are you here to serve. And there’s an equally good chance that you’ve been taking actions in alignment with what you’ve discovered, or that your actions have been focused on getting answers to figure out who you are here to be.
With the Full Moon in Leo exact at 8:38p PST tonight, the next 24-48 hours are a likely time that your Light (your inner Truth) is revealed in some way. It may be time for you to experience an epiphany around your life’s purpose and direction and the role you are here to serve.
That epiphany won’t necessarily occur as a big, flashy, center-stage spotlight moment. It might be, but it’s more likely to be a smaller ‘light bulb moment’ that comes up while you are in the midst of something involving groups or organizations of some sort. Someone may say something to you about how they’ve seen you, or what they see you doing with your unique skills and talents. They may suggest a new direction – something that you’ve never really thought of doing. They may also suggest a return to something that you used to do, or a re-purposing of those talents and skills in a new way. However it comes forth, it will likely come forth through the inspiration of someone else involved in the group or the organization.
I had that moment yesterday afternoon. A friend of mine from one of the metaphysics communities I participate in did a reading for me. As readers, most of us are very good at doing readings for others, but not so much for ourselves. After all, even we are human – we don’t always see our own “stuff”, and so it helps to have another set of “eyes” look at our lives. She was set of eyes for me yesterday.
During my reading, she asked me if I was involved in any creative and/or performing arts activities, like singing, dancing, acting, fine arts, etc. I told her that I had done quite a bit of performing and choreographing when I was younger (at times throughout my childhood and through my 20’s), but it was mostly recreational and I didn’t consider it my professional career. I also told her that I have more of a visual arts (photography) hobby now. In her reading for me, she affirmed that the performing and visual arts were a natural fit for me, and a career focus I may want to reconsider now in my adult life.
Since that conversation, I’ve been thinking about ways I can reincorporate my performance and visual artistry back into my professional life, or at least how can I use those skills, talents, and abilities to enhance the direction I have chosen now. But what happened during that reading was a bit more profound for me than just a suggestion.
As she shared that information with me, her vocal tone changed. I recognized that after the last 15 months of knowing me through our group, my friend saw all of who I am and what I am capable of for the first time…and in her own way (and as any excellent metaphysics professional will do), she was calling me out for not shining my Light fully. She had caught me hiding.
In that moment, I realized that I had indeed been hiding out, and my hiding away my talents and abilities is the main reason I have been feeling so frustrated and disappointed in my career and professional endeavors over the last 10 years or so – I wasn’t creating or channeling art anymore. My metaphysics career is a step in the right direction as I am helping others uncover their unique creative power, yet there is so much more I can do with this direction I have chosen and am traveling now.
I share that bit of my journey with you because wherever you are in your own life’s journey right now, I want you to know that during this Full Moon in Leo, you may find your hidden or forgotten Light…or it may be revealed at this time, whether you want it to be or not. Even if you are already living your Light now, you may find that someone around you will affirm your radiance for you during this time.
This is because during the Full Moon in Leo, the Aquarius Sun is shining its Light onto you. Like the Sun shines onto the Moon fully and the Moon reflects it’s the Sun’s Light, other people may act as spotlights on what each of us has to contribute to the greater whole of humanity, bringing our attention our individual uniqueness and our special roles in “the big picture”.
Keep in mind – your one-of-a-kind expression of Light won’t necessarily be in the visual or performing arts, nor does it even have to be artistic. Your Light is found in whatever role or activity you feel your best, strongest, and brightest being and doing. It is where you feel best being whoever you are while doing whatever it is you do. You feel joy and ease while in that/those role(s). You feel alive. You feel like yourself, not someone going through the motions or pretending to be doing something. And in doing what you do, you are likely creating something that assists or serves others in inspirational ways.
So during this 2013 Full Moon in Leo phase, may the next couple of days be full of illumination and inspiration for you and those around you. Wishing you all wonderful ‘light bulb moments’…
~ Light, Love, and Blessings,
Grace
