Moon Child,
Last week we talked about the First Quarter Moon and how to harness it’s energy. This week we will be working with the energy Full Moon to release what no longer serves us. This time is my favorite of the moon’s phases.
The Full Moon marks a moment of illumination — a time when everything hidden comes to light. During this phase, emotions rise, energy peaks, and truth reveals itself. Spiritually, the Full Moon invites you to pause, reflect, and release what no longer serves your highest good.
When we hold onto old energy — whether it’s fear, doubt, or pain — it weighs down our spirit and blocks our growth. By using the Full Moon’s light, we can gently let go of what has run its course and make space for healing, clarity, and renewal.
Understanding the Energy of the Full Moon
The Full Moon represents completion, clarity, and release. Just as the Moon reaches its fullest brightness, this phase brings your journey to a moment of awareness. You may notice heightened emotions, vivid dreams, or a deeper connection to your intuition.
It’s natural to feel both empowered and emotional at this time. That mix of intensity is what makes the Full Moon so transformative — it shows you what’s ready to be released.
Rather than resisting this energy, allow yourself to lean in. The light that illuminates the sky is the same light that reveals the truth that resides within. Don’t be afraid to look deeper into the hidden revelations that arise during this time of release.
How to Work With This Full Moon Energy
1. Reflect Before You Release
Before beginning any ritual, take time to reflect on your past few weeks.
Ask yourself:
- What have I outgrown?
- Which thoughts or habits have been holding me back?
- What am I ready to let go of with love and peace?
Writing your answers down helps you see your progress clearly. This step transforms emotion into understanding — a crucial part of healing. This is where your moon journal will really help out with tracking your journey through each lunar cycle.
2. Perform a Simple Full Moon Release Ritual
You’ll need: paper, a pen, and a bowl of water.
- Write down what you wish to release — anything that feels heavy or outdated.
- Under the Full Moon’s light, read your list aloud and say:
“I release all energy that no longer serves my growth.
I am open to healing and peace.” - Submerge the paper in water and imagine the Moon’s light cleansing it completely.
- When you feel ready, safely discard the water outdoors or down the drain — symbolizing release.
This ritual helps you let go with intention and grace.
Archangel Gabriel’s Message
Archangel Gabriel’s energy is especially strong under the Full Moon. Gabriel helps you find emotional clarity and encourages gentle communication — both with others and within yourself.
When you feel overwhelmed, ask for guidance with a simple prayer:
“Gabriel, help me release what burdens my heart.
Fill me with peace, light, and divine understanding.”
You may notice signs such as white feathers, songs about freedom, or sudden emotional relief — subtle reminders that you’re being supported. Angel numbers are another sign as well. After all, he is an angel of divine messages.
Final Thoughts
The Full Moon is not an ending — it’s a turning point. By letting go, you create space for new blessings to enter. Each cycle teaches you that release is not loss, but renewal. A way to reshape and redefine your path through this lunar phase and move forward into the next one.
As the Moon begins to wane, allow yourself to rest, integrate, and trust the process. Healing is not about perfection; it’s about presence. With each phase, you move closer to your most authentic self — radiant, balanced, and whole.
