FIRE

From Air we flow into Fire, the Southerly element of the Sun. Connecting to the full bloom energy of the creative mother. Harnessing what is present. Air ignites Fire and like the dormant seed we are sparked into life. In the fullness of the moon we meet the fullness of our subconscious realms. In fire we meet the crucible of being and are forced to forge through purifying, refining and aligning with the flame of our being. What are we being asked to activate and use our life force energy for? 

Consider how you relate to this element

Please listen to this Fire transmission

This is the first full moon of the spring - the ‘awakening moon’ (neo-pagan name) - and as with every moon, cultures across the world had different names for the full lunar moonth (which became fully alive under the fullness of the moon) depending on what it represented in the community. This moon is also known as a pink moon - aptly representing the maiden blooming reflected all around us. A tender heart nod acknowledges the softness we can feel after a harsh winter when we drink in the Magnolia blooms and Cherry blossom

With the emergence of maiden fire in Aries, having tipped the scales into Spring, this Libra moon (ruled by Venus) invites us to find balance, harmony and peace. So whilst we can not always affect what is external to us - how can we, like the warrioress, be the leaders of our own energy fields and gravitate towards opening our hearts to more harmony and love?

ALTAR

Consider the fire element on your spring altar and how it balances with all of the others

ARCHETYPAL

Aries can represent the warrioress energy, or the leader. We can start to connect with what it means to be the huntress in our own lives. A keen protectress, a resourceful woman living with a deep sense of connection to the land. Like Artemis, we know when our bow needs to be drawn with sharp focus and when we need to stay grounded, receptive and open

FIRE JOURNAL

Libra full moon is a good chance to look at how you balance fire in your life. Are you getting time to feel creatively nourished - art of arts sake (in any form)? Are you able to channel your fire - connecting to your solar source and creating in alignment with your higher heart and soul path? Does your fire burn so passionately it depletes you. Can you find ways to move the frustration (which may arise through previous paradigms of trauma patterning) and acknowledge your agency despite it? Be the flame, not engulfed by it

EMBODIMENT

Continue to work with fire like movement. Fire emanates from the core and shape-shifts, constantly changing direction but harnessed in the centre.

INCANTATION

“Lady Libra support me to find equilibrium. Ways to support myself and to tend to my sacred soul fire”

RITUAL

Consider a fire and water ritual. Perhaps charging up a moon water under the light of this full moon (add some cleavers to maximise their clearing effects and drink the next morning). Have a purifying fire and consider what ideas, feelings, self identified stories need to be transformed.

INVOCATION

Call upon the elemental spirit of fire and connect with any appropriate fire goddess or deity that you are drawn to. (There are many!) Brighid is the fire goddess of these lands that presides over the sacred flame. You may like to work with the energies of Airmid as she awakens the medicine garden of the land.

Should you be experiencing a particularly challenging time and feel as though you are literally being forged in the fire you may wish to connect with the support from your spirit team. Always remembering to seek support from those allies that love, honour and respect you.

If you aren’t sure where to begin call on the support of a guardian fire animal such as the Salamander who can withstand the flames or the pheonix who rises from the ashes rebirthed anew.
