Rebirth by Moonlight: What This Full Moon Is Stirring Up
Rebirth by Moonlight: What This Full Moon Is Stirring Up
If you’ve recently:
• Had a minor emotional meltdown,
• Ghosted all social obligations without explanation,
• Made a spontaneous life decision that felt a little “teenage runaway,” or
• Decided to clean your entire kitchen at 2am while crying to Sade,
Then congratulations: you, my friend, are feeling the full moon.
This particular lunation is not subtle. It’s big. Bold. Emotional. Messy. The kind of moon that brings our shadow selves up for air and dares us to deal with them. It wants a release—of stuff, of stories, of stuck patterns.
For me, the moon is transiting my 12th house, a place ruled by all things hidden, spiritual, and wildly inconvenient. Cue the bubbling up of grief, shame, anxiety—a real greatest hits collection of unprocessed feelings. And you know what I did?
I checked myself into a hotel.
Not out of drama, but self-preservation. I booked a quiet night at The Melby, took a prophetic nap (yes, dream #2 from the Universe herself), made some clay bowls, stared out the window, and let myself feel it all. It wasn’t glamorous. But it was healing. The next day, I felt reborn. Like the final girl in an A24 film, but with better skincare.
A couple days later, I sealed the deal with an energetic cleanse with an energetic healer at my local spiritual store. Soul? Detoxed. Mood? Optimistic. Future? Bright. (With a few sparkles of cynicism for balance.)
So, this is your invitation:
Let something go.
Maybe it’s a sweater that holds weird energy.
Maybe it’s a storyline you’ve outgrown.
Maybe it’s a habit that whispers you back into a version of yourself you’re done with.
Whatever it is, the moon is here to hold space for your shedding. Bonus points if you do it while sipping moon water and bathing your crystals under the stars.
Want to get more personal with your release ritual? Look up which house this full moon is transiting in your birth chart—each one offers clues about what part of your life is ready to transform. Not sure how to find that out? Start with a basic birth chart reading and get acquainted with this centuries-old map of the soul. Astrology is less about predictions and more about patterns—and patterns, as we know, are meant to be broken.
This isn’t just about releasing what doesn’t serve you. It’s about making space for what does. The version of you that feels lighter. Braver. And maybe a little messier, but in the best way.
So light a candle. Run a bath. Cry, laugh, clean your closet. Do whatever it takes to let go and rise again.
You’ve got the moon on your side.
Mini Ritual Checklist:
• Cleanse your crystals
• Make moon water
• Journal what you’re releasing
• Burn something symbolic (safely, please)
• Celebrate your rebirth with glitter, wine, or a nap
See you on the other side, brighter and weirder than ever.
