Full Moon in Taurus: Dropping Your Seeds

The Taurus full moon, on the heels of Samhain, helps anchor us in the season of dying and shedding. All year, you have navigated the seasons, opening yourself to new experiences, ways of being, and perhaps unexpected lessons or hardships that have come to pass over the previous year.

Taurus, a fixed earth sign, invites you to pause, be with your body, and notice what's ready to drop from your being. The flowers and trees in the land have been in preparation all year, waiting for this season to drop their seeds. What seeds of wisdom are dropping within you? What wisdom is ready to be handed over to the womb of the earth for incubation?

Each plant, attuned with the wisdom of the earth, feeling in their being when it's the right time to drop. Now too, it is time to feel into the landscape of your body. What is the landscape like, and how does it feel? Are there seeds within you that are ready to drop?

Keep reading for a gentle way to tune into this Taurus full moon and the season.

Full Moon in Taurus Themes

Taurus energy is associated with the bull. While this symbol is often linked to stubbornness, the bull has much more to offer. The bull is stable, sturdy, and calculated in its movement. The bull understands the importance of the pause and is not afraid to spend time firmly rooted on the earth before taking action.

The themes of slowness, sturdiness, and patience are potent medicine as you navigate shifting into the darker half of the year.

Themes: patience, slowness, grounding, sensuality, the body, being with what's arising, the landscape of the body, being present with the earth

Corresponding element: Earth and Water

Corresponding planet: Venus and Earth

Modality: Fixed

Ritual Support for the Taurus Full Moon

This full moon wants to illuminate the wisdom of your body and its ability to sense and feel what seeds of wisdom are dropping from you this season.

For this ritual, I'll guide you to connect with your inner landscape to feel into the lessons you've navigated over the last three seasons, and to notice if there are seeds of wisdom ready to leave you.

The best time for this ritual is on the day of or 2 days after the full moon, on the waning side.

You'll need: 

• 20-60 minutes to be with your body

• A journal or note-taking place and something to write with

• Optional: a candle, any stones or plants that feel supportive, a tarot or oracle card deck, and access to outside space

1. Prepare your space in a way that honors your practice and feels good to you. This could include physically and energetically cleansing your space, lighting a candle, selecting some music, calling on guides or ancestors, casting a circle, and setting out any supportive items nearby.

2. When your space is ready, sitting or standing, begin to notice your breath and stay with it for a few minutes. When you feel settled in, start to imagine traveling inward to your body.

3. As you move inward toward your body, imagine it as a landscape. Let this fill in within your mind's eye intuitively. If visualizing is hard for you, imagine what your inner landscape feels or sounds like. Stay with this for several breaths as it unfolds.

4. As your inner landscape fills in, ask aloud or in your mind, "What seeds have been prepared over the last few seasons?" Notice where you're taken in your inner landscape, what the seeds look like, perhaps what plant they're from or what you feel they're associated with, and be with these seeds.

5. Spend some time moving your body, dancing, and/or singing to honor all of the experiences you have navigated this year to create these seeds.

6. Trusting the wisdom of your body and the seeds, ask whether there's anything you can do to assist them. Perhaps they want to be planted within your inner landscape, or maybe they want to leave your body to be planted in your environment.

7. When you feel ready, begin to move out of your inner landscape the way you came into it, thank your body, the moon, and any guides or ancestors you called upon, and gently return to your space.

8. If you have access to an outdoor space, consider taking a moment to place your hands or feet on the earth to honor the connection between your inner landscape and the outer world.

9. Consider having some food and drink to ground yourself, and write down anything from your experience, or draw some cards to anchor it.

Prompts for the Taurus Full Moon

Work with the following questions as journal prompts or as guidance for tarot or oracle card pulls.

1. What does my inner landscape look like, sound like, and feel like right now?

2. What stands out to me the most in my inner landscape?

3. What parallels do I see between my inner landscape and the outer landscape?

4. What experiences over the last three seasons impacted me the most?

5. What wisdom does my body now carry from experiences over the last three seasons?

6. Does the wisdom my body carries, the seeds I've created, want to remain planted in my inner landscape or be planted somewhere outside of me?

7. What potential do these inner seeds hold?

May the wisdom of the land and your body lead you into the dark of the year with the sturdiness and strength of a bull. So it is. Blessed Taurus full moon.

Full Moon in Capricorn: Owning the Power of Your Shadows

The summer solstice initiates movement towards the darker half of the year. Even though it may be in the heat of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the Capricorn full moon brings an essence of the dark of winter to remind you of the power of your shadows.

While some may view shadow work (the intentional practice of noticing and tending to your unconscious, unhelpful habits, and repressed emotions) as something negative, it holds great power. When you know your shadows well and are aware of how they present, it enables you to move through the world with self-aware, grounded strength. 

As a cardinal earth sign, Capricorn signifies a time of deeply rooted action. Capricorn energy paired with a full moon, brings an opportunity to recognize and tend to your shadows and release unhelpful habits around how you relate to them, enabling you to move through the world with an understanding of how your unconscious realms affect your waking life.

The Capricorn full moon encourages you to own the full spectrum of your humanity, even the parts of yourself you might prefer to diminish or disown. Your unconscious realms are endless. There will always be something ready to surface. Each time something new surfaces, you have the opportunity to either avoid it or welcome it into your being and create a more rooted and empowered foundation. 

For this full moon ritual support, you’ll be guided to become aware of something in your unconscious that’s ready to be witnessed, own it fully, and identify anything that needs to be released around your relationship to this part of yourself. 

Full Moon in Capricorn Themes

Themes: Shadow work, unconscious realms, tending to your foundation, power, owning your imperfections and learning from them

Planetary correspondence: Saturn

Element correspondence: Earth

Corresponding tarot cards: The Devil and the Knight of Pentacles

Modality: Cardinal 

Quote: “Before you can slip off the chains you must become conscious of them.” - Rachel Pollack, on The Devil card from Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom

Ritual Support for the Capricorn Full Moon

For this ritual support, you'll be guided to bring to light something from your unconscious realms that desires witnessing.You'll be invited to work with the Devil card from the tarot. You don't need the card to explore this moon. Look up images of it if you don't have it handy. 

As always, change and modify this ritual suggestion to make it work for you. It is ideal to work this ritual over 2-3 days. Be intuitive with it and notice when you feel pulled to move to different steps. 

You'll need: 

• Something to write with

• The devil card from the tarot (any deck) or images of it to look at

• Optional: An outside space to bury paper, books or readings about the tarot and any additional items that make you feel supported, like candles, crystals, herbs, etc. 

1. To begin this ritual, spend time with the devil card from the tarot. Notice what you like about it and what you don't. If anything makes you feel uncomfortable about the card, what stands out to you? 

2. Take a moment to journal about your feelings regarding this card. 

3. Over the next 24hrs, revisit this card. Consider placing it near your bed or under your pillow around the time of the full moon, meditating on it, or reading about the card from tarot authors you enjoy. 

4. Notice what comes up for you as you spend time with this card and what it represents to you. 

5. Journal about anything that's coming up for you on your own or with the prompts provided below. 

6. Identify one theme that is arising for you this lunation as you sit with this card and what it represents to you. 

7. Once you've identified a theme that wants witnessing, create space to be in ritual with this theme. 

8. Allow yourself 15-60 minutes to engage with this theme in a way that feels good to you, such as journaling, moving your body, dancing, making art, or expressing your emotions. Open your ritual space in a way that aligns with your practice. 

9. As you sit with what's arising, ask what this part of yourself wants you to know and how it could be more fully incorporated into your waking life. 

10. Ask if there's anything about this part of yourself that needs to be shed or released. 

11. Bring this ritual to a close in a way that feels good to you. Consider journaling again about this experience. 

12. If you feel guided to release something about this theme or the experience, find time to write down what you'd like to release and bury it on the waning side of the moon. 

Prompts for the Capricorn Full Moon

Use these prompts as a way to reflect on this full moon. They can be used as journaling prompts or as questions for tarot or oracle cards. 

1. What emotion(s) do you avoid feeling? (keep in mind this could be positive feelings)

2. What does this avoidance stem from?

3. How could spending more intentional time with these emotions empower you? 

4. What is a habit you would like to change? 

5. What might this habit have to teach you?

6. Identify a person, place, or activity that you avoid because it makes you feel uncomfortable.

7. What could be at the root of this discomfort?

8. How would it change your life to be more comfortable with the person, place, or activity you identified?

New Moon in Cancer: Imagining Radical Care

As the sun and moon both sit in the sign of Cancer this new moon, you have an opportunity to imagine what radical care might look like for yourself, your loved ones, and your community. While the cardinal water sign of Cancer is often associated with emotions (as all water signs are), it is also linked to love, caregiving, mothering, family (whether chosen or biological), and home.

The theme of feeling safe and comfortable in your home is reflected in the crab, the animal associated with the sign of Cancer, with its protective exterior shell. Unlike the crab, you get to decide what home, family, and caregiving/mothering mean to you, and you get to change your mind as often as you want.

This new moon is an ideal time to be aware of your relationship with and feelings about themes of family, mothering/caregiving, and home. Whether or not you're a mother or live with your family of origin is irrelevant. This new moon invites you to investigate what it means to care for yourself and others, what family means to you (even if it's not your family of origin), and what it means to feel at home (even if it's untraditional).

New moons are a time of curiosity, imagination, and receptivity. We live in an overculture that devalues the role of caregivers and mothers and often views self-care as something purchased. There's no idea too big or "out there" when it comes to how you reimagine caring for yourself and others. The core theme of this moon asks, "What does radical care look like?"

Keep reading for themes, ritual suggestions, and prompts for the new moon in the sign of Cancer.

New Moon in Cancer Themes

Themes: radical care, love, family, home, caregiving/mothering, tuning into your relationship with these themes, being aware of what home means to you

Sign: Cancer

Element: water

Modality: cardinal

Quote: "The ethos of mothering involves valuing in and of itself a commitment to the survival and thriving of other bodies. It presents a fundamental contradiction to the logic of capitalism, which un-moors us from each other."

― Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Revolutionary Mothering: Love on the Front Lines

New Moon in Cancer Ritual Support

This ritual can be sweet to do with a friend or a loved one. Consider swapping foot or back rubs, doing each other's nails, or giving a scalp massage. As always, adjust this ritual as needed to make it work for you.

You'll need:

• 30-60 minutes of uninterrupted quiet time

• Cozy clothes and anything that makes you feel cozy

• Optional: candle, crystals, tea, snacks, and anything else that feels supportive

  1. Begin by preparing yourself and your space to create a cozy atmosphere. Consider wearing your favorite and most comfy clothes, grab your favorite comfort beverage and snack, and set the space with items that make you feel cozy. Take your time with this. If this feels difficult, imagine setting up a space for a beloved friend or family member who is visiting and needs some love.

  1. Invitation: Before you decide to purchase anything to set up your cozy space, consider stretching your imagination and creativity to discern if you can create an ideal environment with what you have on hand or by asking a friend or loved one.

  2. Take any time to cleanse the space energetically or call in spiritual support in a way that aligns with your practice.

  3. Look over the prompts outlined below or notice what themes of home, family, and mothering are arising within you. Consider journaling or pulling cards to explore these themes.

  4. Pamper and care for yourself and/or a friend or loved one for as long as your heart desires.

New Moon in Cancer Prompts

Utilize these new moon in Cancer-inspired prompts to journal about or with your favorite tarot or oracle card deck.

1. What people and places make you feel most cared for and comfortable?

2. What does home mean to you?

3. How do you mother and/or care for yourself? How do you mother and/or care for others?

4. What would radical care look like for yourself, your loved ones, and your community?

5. What barriers prevent you from caring for yourself and others in the way you want to?

6. Imagine three ways you could creatively create more care and comfort for yourself and others alongside these barriers.

7. What feelings arise for you as you tune into these themes?

In an over-culture that consistently devalues the role of mothering and caregiving, this new moon is a loving reminder that everyone needs care and a place that feels like home. It's our sacred task to imagine what a radically caring world looks and feels like.

In radical care,

Cassie

Full Moon in Sagittarius: Tending Your Fire

Are you harboring desires that you know with every ounce of your being are true but feel too big (or scary) to act upon? The truth-seeking Sagittarius full moon provides insight and energy to burn away anything standing in your way and start taking action toward your most authentic self.

Acting in alignment with your most authentic needs isn't always easy, especially when your desires go against social or familial norms. Work with this fiery full moon as a supportive co-conspirator in moving you, and all of us, towards personal and collective liberation.

Working with the energy of this full moon doesn't need to be explosive, but it could be.

Sagittarius Full Moon Ritual Support

In this ritual, work with a theme that feels authentic to you and is something you want to expand at this season in your life. 

Because Sagittarius is all about making moves in alignment with your truth, this is an ideal full moon to get into your body. As always, make this work for you and your body. Move as little or as much as you'd like or are able. If you're able to work with a candle to bring in the fiery energy, that can be a great support! 

The best time to perform this ritual is the day before or the day of the full moon. Working with this full moon on the waxing side of the moon is perfect for working with the fiery energy associated with Sagittarius. 

As always, modify this ritual as needed! This is a template for creating meaningful rituals aligned with your practice. 

For this ritual, you'll need:

• 20-40 minutes 

• Space to move around

• Something to write with

• Optional: favorite music to move to, a candle, and any other items that would feel supportive

1. Prepare your area and create a sacred space. This might include lighting a candle for yourself and this practice, clearing your space in a way aligned with your practice, and calling in any supportive guides or allies as you sit with this practice. Have music ready to turn on (if you plan to listen to something), and ensure you have something to write with nearby.

2. Spend a few minutes tuning in with your breath and body. After a few minutes, tune in with your soul and ask what's something true, authentic, and liberatory that you want to bring more of into your life or the world. Spend a few more minutes with this authentic part of yourself, noticing how it feels to be with it. 

3. Holding this truth and a desire to bring more of it into your life and the world, turn on your music and begin moving your body (or move in silence without music). As you start to move, ask aloud or in your mind to be shown steps and actions to take to move you closer to this truth. 

4. Holding your intention, try experimenting with new ways to move your body. Don't worry about how it looks. This doesn't have to be a dance; it can be any movement. Shake, jump, wiggle, roll, slither, move in any way your body feels called to and is accessible. 

5. Stay with your truth and the movement practice for as long as you feel called to, and provide yourself with ample time to gently slow yourself down and return to resting. 

6. When you feel ready to stop, sit or lie down and breathe for a few minutes. 

7. Begin writing down ideas you have to take action to bring more of your authentic self and inner truths to the world. Reflect on how this could be beneficial for yourself and others, and consider including actions that support others. 

8. Consider putting these actions or something that reminds you of them on your altar or in a place where you'll regularly see them.

Sagittarius Full Moon Prompts

Here are some prompts to further support you during this full moon. Use them as journal prompts or questions to work with your tarot or oracle cards. 

1. What inner truths or desires feel most alive in you in this season of your life? 

2. In what ways are you able to express and honor your most authentic self? If you don't feel like you're able to, why not? 

3. What is a personal truth you hold dear that you'd like to see more of out in the world?

4. What are three actions that would be in alignment with or move you in the direction of your most authentic self? 

May you feel the support of this fiery full moon to take action toward a more truthful and liberated inner and outer world. When you honor your truth, you inspire others to honor theirs. May your truth expand in ways that inspire liberation for all.

Blessed full moon,
Cassie

Full Moon in Virgo Ritual

The full moon in service-oriented Virgo offers an opportunity to celebrate your skills and release anything holding you back from using them. A mutable earth sign, practical and nurturing Virgo encourages you to explore how leaning into your abilities could better serve your community.

If you’re reading this in 2025, this full moon aligns with a lunar eclipse. Eclipses can be intensely illuminating events. For this full moon, you might notice illumination around the themes associated with Virgo. Because this is a lunar eclipse, it may illuminate how Virgo shadow aspects are present in your life. Common shadow themes of Virgo may include: perfectionism, controlling, overly analytical, etc.

Themes for the Virgo Full Moon

Themes: Sovereignty, service, nurturing, practicality, releasing what doesn’t serve yourself and others

Element: Earth

Modality: Mutable

The ideal time to perform this ritual is the day before the full moon, the day of the full moon, or the day after the full moon. 

Virgo Full Moon Ritual

You’ll need: 

• 15-30 minutes of quiet and uninterrupted time

• Pen or pencil and paper

• Moss agate, tree agate, or any other earthy stone you have available (a common stone from your yard or neighborhood is sufficient)

1. This ritual will encourage you to tune into the skills that make you feel independent, what you may need to release to start leaning into these skills, and how you can share them with others. Prepare your items and connect with the breath and body. If it is in your practice to cast a circle or create sacred space, do that as well.

2. Have your stone nearby, close your eyes, if you feel safe to, and go within. Ask aloud or in your mind, “What skills make me feel independent and helpful?”

3. Take some time, five minutes or more if you like, to sit in this space of celebrating your abilities and the things in your life that make you feel free, autonomous, and of service.

4. If you’re not already, hold your stone in your hands as you take some time, five minutes or more, to see what comes to you in this space. As things come to mind, visualize their energy pouring into the stone you’re holding. 

5. Now ask, aloud or in your mind, “What do I need to release to lean into these skills more fully so I can be of better service to myself and others?”

6. When you feel ready to end this meditation, take some time to write out anything that came to mind to release that may help you feel better able to lean into your skills. 

7. When you’re done, release the paper in a way that feels significant to you. You can burn, bury, compost, or flush it down the toilet.

8. After the full moon, keep the stone as a reminder of what makes you feel independent and how to use it to be of service to others. Anytime you’re feeling disempowered or like your skills don’t matter, hold your stone as a reminder of what makes you, you. 

9. Consider placing your stone out under the light of the Virgo full moon to help amplify your ability to accept and use your skills to be of service to yourself and your community. 

This full moon ritual can be adapted or used for any full moon or any full moon in Virgo. As always, take what you like and leave the rest. 

Full Moon in Leo Ritual

The full moon in Leo is an opportunity to cultivate more joy in your life through authentic creative expression. The energy of Leo encourages you to seek out what lights you up and to do more of that. The energy of this moon is both intense and playful. Leo brings a sense of not caring what others think and encourages authentic creative expression. 

Leo’s planetary correspondence is the sun, so this full moon can feel especially intense because, in many ways, it carries the opposite energy of the moon. You may feel pulled to express yourself in ways that feel good but may seem out of character for you. This lunation is a call to explore and revel in playful and creative acts that your heart and soul are calling out for. 

If you enjoy this ritual, I invite you to share it with someone else who might benefit from it as well. 

Themes for this full moon: Self-expression, creativity, play, and joy

Element: fire

The ideal time to perform this ritual is the day before, the day of, or the day after the full moon. 

You’ll need: 

• 20-60 minutes of quiet and uninterrupted time

• A candle (orange, red, or yellow chime/spell candle is ideal, but any candle will do!)

• Creative tool of choice: Music to dance to, tools to draw or paint with, pen/paper to write with, an instrument to make music with, or something else you find creative

• Optional: Sunstone or citrine

1. This ritual will encourage you to tune into your inner light for creative inspiration to cultivate more joy. Some questions to consider. Are there any creative activities you love but haven’t given yourself the time to enjoy or that you’ve felt called to but are nervous to try?

2. You will be invited to create in a way that feels joyful to you. Dancing, singing, writing, painting, or anything you consider creative is great.

Prepare and collect any items you’ll need for this ritual. Once you have everything nearby and ready, take time to arrange your items around you and tune into your breath and body. Create a sacred space in a way that feels good to you. Cast a circle if it is in your practice. 

3. If you’re using a candle, hold it in your hands, close your eyes, and call in the intention to express yourself from a place of joy and for you to experience joy. Light your candle (never leave your candle unattended.)

4. Close your eyes and go within for about 2-5 minutes. If you’re working with sunstone or citrine, you can hold it at this time. Visualize a light radiating from your solar plexus area. Visualize the light of the full moon, helping this area to glow brighter and take up more space. Notice how it feels to tune into this area and feel it fill up with light. 

5. In this space, ask for inspiration to create authentically from your soul in a way that will bring you joy.

6. When you feel ready, begin creating using your tools of choice. Dance, sing, paint, draw, cross-stitch, play an instrument, write, or do whatever your heart desires to express itself creatively. 

7. Allow yourself to explore and experience this act of creativity for as long as you want to and can. 

8. When you feel complete, take some time to turn inwards again. Notice how your body feels and honor yourself for taking this time for joy and creativity. 

9. If you created something physical, consider placing it on your altar as an offering to your joy and to any guides or ancestors. 

10. Take a few moments to close your sacred space. If your candle has not fully burned, snuff it out and consider revisiting this ritual at a later time. 

This full moon ritual can be adapted or used for any full moon or any full moon in Leo. As always, take what you like and leave the rest! In love and gratitude, Cassie

Full Moon in Cancer Ritual

The full moon in Cancer offers a supportive and nurturing space for you to explore the watery world of your emotions, and initiate healing. 

Cancer’s planetary correspondence is the moon, so this full moon can feel especially intense, emotional, and intuitive. You may feel more sensitive and emotional than usual. This lunation is a call to explore and revel in any feelings and sensitivities that arise rather than pushing them away. Be gentle with yourself and open to rolling with any waves this moon stirs up. 

If you enjoy this ritual, I invite you to share it with someone else who might benefit from it as well. 

Themes for this full moon: Nurturing, supportive, family-oriented, intuitive, healing, cleansing

The ideal time to perform this ritual is the day before, the day of, or the day after the full moon. 

You’ll need: 

• 15-30 minutes of quiet and uninterrupted time

• Bath, shower, or body of water

• A glass of water or cup of tea

• Cozy clothes

• Optional: moonstone, any scented oils or herbs that feel nurturing and supportive to add to your bath

1. For this ritual, you’ll be invited to soak in a bath or body of water. If you do not have one, you can perform this ritual in a shower as well. Before you begin the ritual, take a moment to prepare a cup of tea or have a glass of water ready for when your bath or shower is over.

2. Draw your bath, or begin your shower. Add any herbs you’d like to use. If working with moonstone, you could place it in the tub or around the shower area. 

3. In the bath or shower, begin connecting with your breath and body to help you root into the moment. Notice your breath and body, how they feel, what feels good, and any aches or pains you may have. Notice how the water feels on your body. 

4. Once you feel connected to your body and the water, allow yourself to explore your emotions. Are there any feelings that need to be felt or come out that you haven’t had time to allow? Feel and allow. 

5. As you explore and allow your emotions to come up, choose one that you’d like to release. Imagine it being cleansed from your body by the water. Stay in your bath or shower for as long as you’d like to explore and feel your emotions. 

6. When you feel ready to get out of the bath or shower, turn off the shower or unplug the bath, and visualize anything you released going down the drain with the water. 

7. Finish up your bath or shower and put on some clothes or pajamas that feel exceptionally comfortable and nurturing. Feel free to add in any additional self-care here, like self-massage with a favorite oil. 

8. When you’re ready, take a few moments to connect inward again with your cup of tea or water in hand. Bring to mind something that would make you feel nurtured and at home. Infuse your water or tea with these thoughts. 

9. Begin taking drinks of your water or tea and feel your body become filled with this support and care. Consider saving a bit of water or tea to pour into the heart as a sign of gratitude and as a way to share this support with others who may need it too. 

10. If you feel called, consider following up with some journaling or a card pull to explore this experience and full moon further. 

This full moon ritual can be adapted or used for any full moon or any full moon in Cancer. As always, take what you like and leave the rest. In love & gratitude, Cassie
