A slightly harsh wake-up call in the form of a skinned elbow, courtesy of the DIY skateboard J made for the kiddies to practice, has me reflecting on the masculine, giving side of myself that's been held back for too long. As I 'throw bows' – literally and metaphorically haha– I'm reminded of the Sagittarius archer's raw spirit and the fierce determination of Merida from Brave, who dared to forge her own path amidst the clans vying for her hand.
Merida very much like myself NEEDED to make her own decisions despite her Mother’s and Father’s efforts. Her and her mother had a hard time seeing eye to eye but throughout the tale of adversity learned so much about each other's strengths, intentions, and desires. Learning what drove one another and honoring that while having to learn to work together to survive.
Very similar to the journey I’ve been on with my Mother my whole life. Both stubborn and strong-willed but needed to understand each other, our connection, our purpose, and relationship. A beautiful, bitter-sweet, wild journey that has taught us so much about ourselves and the world we’re projecting. No surprise spoiler here that the Mother is turned into a bear trapped in betrayal and hunted by her own husband. The has-been husband a representation of our male family members and the ways in which they were willing or not willing to give of their cells, energy, inertia. Always clouded by war, power, position, the desire for attention. As females, the men we attract will be a vast mirror and representative of what our own masculinity looks like and what we are carrying from our family lineage, ancestry, and collective consciousness. So with this in mind — we can look at the ways we so easily give our power away, along with how our own masculine energy and how we give of our cells— her husband trying to kill her a representation of how she was killing her own cells with the beliefs she was carrying, which also played out with how the mother also wanted to control Merida, she became like her own Mother and tried to keep her in the same line and role she had to — the same family dynamics play out today!
Cycle-breaking child, narcissistic families due to imbalanced lifestyles and passed-down repetitive traumas and dramas, stuck in limited thinking keeping the unhealthy habits and relationships alive—image, money first and a priority while emotions, truth, and love were suppressed or optional, edited, manipulated for circumstance. Everyone’s choices and decisions will play out with cause and effect, and everyone has to take responsibility for the contributing present beliefs, ideas, thoughts, feelings, and actions that shape their reality.
Just like so many of us — we get trapped in the betrayal, family guilt, greed, traumas, and loops from our own family curses and karma; the less the actions taken against the self or others settling, selling out, manipulating, controlling, separating, altering, deleting, distorting, and need to aka GET TWO* heal our own inner Mothering and Fathering bipolar feminine and masculine principles and main governing energies.
Healing our own inner enemies from the belief systems, policies, and limitations we’ve imposed on our cells. We need our own president to step up, realize order is needed in the court, the higher self judge isn’t evolved or involved yet, and override the decisIONS that are allowing imbalance and unfair behaviour.
With the Strawberry Sagittarius Full Moon on June 10-11th, 2025, this theme of healing, growth, and self-awareness is especially relevant. It's a time to reflect on our inner world, acknowledge the areas where we've been held back, and take steps to integrate our masculine and feminine principles.
By doing so, we can break free from the patterns that no longer serve us and move towards greater balance and harmony in our lives. The Strawberry Full Moon landing on June 10-11th, 2025, brings forth a potent numerological blend. The date 10/11 can be reduced to 1+0+1+1 = 3, symbolizing creativity, manifestation, and positive energy.
Meanwhile, Sagittarius, represented by the archer, is associated with the number 9 (as it's the 9th sign of the zodiac), embodying themes of humanitarianism, wisdom, and exploration. The combination of the number 3 and 9 energies may amplify the themes of creative expression, expansive growth, and higher consciousness.
Just as the strawberry season signals a time of harvest and nourishment, this full moon invites us to reflect on our own harvest – what we've sown, what's ripened, and what we're ready to release. It's a moment to acknowledge the fruits of our labor, tend to our own growth, and nourish our minds, emotions, bodies, and spirits.
As the Strawberry Full Moon lands on Tuesday, ruled by Mars, the planet of energy, drive, and assertiveness, we're infused with a surge of motivation to take action towards healing and setting boundaries. The following day, Wednesday, ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and relationships, brings a focus on how we express ourselves and navigate our connections with others.
This sequence of planetary influences creates a powerful flow of energy, supporting us in cultivating healthy communication, protecting our peace of mind, and establishing boundaries that honor our emotional well-being. As we harness this energy, we can tap into our inner strength, clarify our needs, and nurture relationships that uplift and support us.
This full moon invites us to tap into our inner wisdom, explore new horizons, and manifest our desires through a blend of creativity, laws of nature, and ancestral awareness.
Here are 5 self-care rituals with a dash of wit and fun, incorporating themes from the forecast:
1. Ancestral Apology Party: Write letters to your ancestors, apologizing for the weight of their unresolved traumas you've carried. Then, ceremoniously burn the letters, symbolizing release and forgiveness. This ritual can help you tap into epigenetic healing and break free from ancestral patterns.
2. Nervous System Ninja Training: Engage in activities that regulate your nervous system, like yoga, tai chi, or dancing. As you move, imagine you're ninja-kicking stress and anxiety out of your life. This can help you master your nervous system's responses and find calm in chaos.
3. Rat Race Refusal Ritual: Create a ritual to mark your departure from the monotony of societal expectations. Write a letter to the "man" (or woman), declaring your independence from the status quo. Then, do something radical – like wearing a bold outfit or trying a new hobby – to celebrate your newfound freedom.
4. Family Dynamics Re-Wiring: Identify the dysfunctional patterns in your family dynamics and create a new narrative. Write a script for the "ideal" family conversation or interaction, and then practice it with a trusted friend or therapist. This can help you rewire your expectations and develop healthier relationships.
5. Epigenetic Empowerment Exercise: Practice somatic experiences that promote feelings of safety, joy, and empowerment. This could include activities like sound healing, breathwork, or sensual movement. As you do so, imagine you're "up-regulating" your genes to express their full potential – and passing on a legacy of resilience to future generations.
These rituals cognitive therapy, fun*ctionality, and psychological insight to help you tap into the themes of the Strawberry Full Moon. By incorporating these practices into your self-care routine, you can cultivate a deeper sense of empowerment, healing, and connection with yourcellves and the world you’re projecting around you.
