The cosmic energies are stirring, awakening us at 3 AM with life's deepest questions as the powerful Lionsgate Portal converges with a luminous Full Moon in Aquarius. This potent alignment creates the perfect opportunity for release, renewal, and spiritual recalibration.
The Lionsgate Portal opens annually on August 8th (8-8), when the sun blazes in Leo and Sirius—known as the spiritual sun—rises in our sky, creating a direct energetic pathway between Earth and the galactic center. This fiery Leo energy activates the heart chakra, bringing forth themes of authenticity, self-expression, and radiant confidence. When the infinity symbol of 8-8 meets the revelatory Full Moon in Aquarius, we're invited to examine the delicate balance between community and individuality, emotional detachment and deep feeling, visionary ideas and grounded action.
During this transformative window, you might notice emotional turbulence, relationship triggers surfacing, and clarity emerging through contrast. These aren't random disruptions—they're purposeful invitations to examine what's no longer serving your highest good. Through personal ritual practices like egg limpias, intention-setting with candles, journaling for release, and working with crystals like amethyst for clarity and carnelian for confidence, you can harness this cosmic energy to release blocks and reclaim your authentic power.
The oracle guidance for our collective reminds us to believe in our inherent good fortune while taking practical steps toward manifestation, to unleash our kindest selves in all situations, and to release the fears and limiting beliefs that block our full expression. As we navigate this potent portal, remember: you don't need to have everything figured out—just listen to your inner wisdom. That's your true compass.

Or maybe this energy got youwaking up at 3 am, thinking
about your whole vida, same aquí.
This episode is all about theLionsgate energy and how the
upcoming full moon is stirringthings up.
Para que te reencuentrescontigo misma, para que brilles
(00:27):
desde adentro para afuera.
Welcome back to Ay Mijita,embracing your roots, reclaim
your esencia.
I'm your Dora Alicia Praxedis,intuitive guide, shamanic
practitioner, energy healer andyour comadre for all things
ancestral healing, emotionalwellness and energetic resetsre
for all things ancestral healing, emotional wellness and
energetic resets.
(00:48):
Today's episode is juicy.
We're talking about theLionsgate Portal, the energetic
doorway that opens every year onAugust 8th and this upcoming
full moon in Aquarius.
I'm gonna break it down for youin grounded, corazón-led way,
sharing how I use this time forlimpias, realigning with my
intentions and tuning into lavoz de mi alma.
(01:10):
So grab your agüita, yourjournal, and let's dive in now.
(01:33):
Diving into what is theLionsgate portal.
It's something that I lookforward to every year and for me
, it's probably because I havemy anniversary with my husband
and we're about 23 years in, andit just so happens to be on 8-8
.
And I also thought it's alsocolliding with the full moon.
So I've been feeling a lot ofemotional things lately and
(01:55):
definitely trying to navigatethe waters at work and my
personal life with my familyrelationships and all it's been
pretty turbulent.
I don't know about you, and ifyou're hearing this episode
around the time that it drops,you might be able to notice some
of these things too.
But regardless, if you'relistening to this episode later
(02:15):
in time, you will stilldefinitely get a dose of a
message that needs to comethrough for you.
So the Lionsgate portal is anenergetic alignment that happens
every year on August 8th.
So again 8-8.
And one thing I find reallyfascinating is if you turn the 8
like sideways, it's an infinitysymbol.
(02:36):
So that is something that I'vealways noticed and really
powerful for me.
And so when I was younger, Idid this compatibility test with
my then boyfriend, philly nowhusband and I seriously thought
we were going to be togetherforever, and hopefully that is
the case.
So that's where our anniversarydoes fall, on 8-8.
(02:57):
And that's why it means so muchto me.
So on 8-8, this is when the sunis in Leo and the star Sirius
rises to the sky and we get apowerful alignment with earth
and the galactic center and Iknow this is all kind of
astrology things, but it's verymeaningful.
So in astrology and spiritualtraditions, sirius is known as
(03:21):
the high frequency star,associated with abundance,
divine wisdom and higherconsciousness.
So why is this so powerful?
Because we're in Leo season,baby, and it's a lot of heat
right and fire, but it's alsoabout the heart, authenticity
and stepping into our radiance,our loose, and when 8-8 rolls
(03:44):
around, it's like this energeticamplifier that invites us to
dream big, release fear andmanifest with clarity.
So lately I've been gettingtriggered as fuck and it's
probably bringing me someclarity the contrast and the
fighting and all or thediscussions that happen around
this time, and so we call itLionsgate because of this fiery
(04:07):
Leo energy and it comes throughas confident, bold,
heart-centered.
It's also the sign that rulesthe heart chakra.
So if you're having troubleswith the heart, that's probably
why there's a lot of things thatare triggering, especially in
relationships to come afloat sowe can have these discussions
and kind of clear the clutter,clear the air.
(04:28):
So I want you to pause, if youcan, and reflect on these
questions and obviously, ifyou're driving, keep on driving.
Want you to reflect on whereare you hiding your luz, your
(04:48):
voice or your truth.
What would it look like toexpress your authentic self, sin
miedo, like not holdinganything back?
What would that look like foryou?
One thing I was meditating onwas how I sometimes bite my
tongue when I want to saysomething, because I can come
(05:10):
across really sharp, like adagger, my words, and so I have
to be careful with those.
But then again, I do want tohonor my truth and when I don't
like or appreciate something,finding that way to express it
in a love and compassion way,without sounding too bitchy.
Right, because, especiallybeing a girl or a woman, it
(05:33):
might come across as, oh, andthis was the ass or that type of
thing.
And maybe I am, but it justrubs me a wrong way or it just
doesn't sit well with me.
It just rubs me a wrong way orit just doesn't sit well with me
, and that's where gettingtriggered in those ways means
that we just need to communicate.
It could be our boundaries, itcould be the way we feel once we
(05:55):
process it a bit, but it'sgetting down to kind of that
root of what's going on.
Another way I like to expressmyself is dancing, so I will
often just turn on music.
This is my favorite, sitting inthe car blasting the music to
my favorite reggaeton song, or Iam like singing Como la Flor de
(06:19):
Selena at the high pitch, likethat's my jam, so that's where.
Just be you and bring it backto what causes you to move, like
your body, or like really findyour jam.
Those are the things thatshould be so sacred for you and
bring you back to center whenyou're feeling like the tippy
(06:40):
cup, like at the carnival, likespinning out of control.
This year the Lion's Gate energyis syncing up with the full
moon in Aquarius, which is goingto bring a whole other flavor
to this portal.
Full moons are always aboutrelease shining light on what's
hidden.
A great metaphor my astrologerused with me to explain this has
(07:04):
been when the light is shiningbright.
So full moon is when the moonis the brightest and it's
shining on a pool and all thestuff that's at the bottom of
the pool comes to light.
That's kind of what's beingworked on, like it's all the way
at the bottom of the pool butit's there and it's so visible
(07:26):
to the eyes when that moonlightis shining so bright.
And Aquarius energy brings upthemes around community versus
individuality, emotionaldetachment versus overthinking,
visionary ideas versus groundedaction.
So what might come up duringthis time?
Feeling emotionallyoverstimulated or even
(07:49):
disconnected, conflicts aroundbelonging, speaking up or
expressing your vision, oldcycles around rejection, people
pleasing or self-doubt.
Bubbling up the energy, withthis full moon in Aquarius is
ushering in change and progress.
So top five questions you shouldask yourself are have I been
(08:12):
pragmatic to the point of losingthe romance of life?
Have I been living too much inmy head and not enough in my
heart?
Have I been trying to do thingsmy way for the sake of it?
Have I been trying too hard tobefriend people, and for the
wrong reasons?
And have I allowed myself tomove forward this month?
(08:36):
And the message here is it'stime to detach and let go like
for real.
So find a balance betweentrying to be all things to all
people versus having realrelationships.
Forgive and perform a ceremonyof forgiveness and I'll walk
through a few steps later inthis episode and practice
(08:58):
gratitude as well.
Pero, mijita, this is anopportunity not to panic or shut
down, but to pause, cleanse andrecalibrate.
Some more questions for you toreflect on in your journal.
Am I surrounding myself withpeople who see me clearly and
celebrate my vision.
What am I ready to releaseunder this full moon?
(09:20):
This is a great time tomeditate on these things and
really do this ritual of lettinggo.
Let me share how I move throughthis energy in my own practice.
So first of all, I start with alimpia con un huevo, especially
if I've been feeling heavyemotionally or mentally, this
helps me clear the energeticfield and connect back to my
(09:42):
intuition, and I like to kind ofread the huevo and see what
else comes up.
The next thing I do during afull moon is I light a candle
and set intentions for what I'mready to call in Not just
manifestations, but feelingpeace, clarity and confianza.
I also like to automatic write,and so I journal about what I'm
(10:04):
releasing and what I'mreclaiming during this time, and
especially the release part.
That's something that is sorelieving.
So for the full moon I do asmall release ritual, outside,
weather permitting, where Iwrite down what I'm letting go
of and burn it safely I do havea fire pit outside and then I
(10:26):
say a prayer and an intention.
There are crystals that I workwith as well, and for this Leo
season it's and I'm totallygoing to butcher the name on
this is cardiline for confidence, sunstone for joy and prite for
abundance For the Aquarius fullmoon.
(10:47):
I love to work with amethystfor clarity, fluorite for mental
balance and selenite forpurification.
I actually have an amethystbracelet that I wear all the
time because that really helpsme keep my clarity, especially
when I'm doing work on others.
(11:07):
That's something that reallygrounds me and, no lie,
sometimes I just take aspiritual bath, so in the shower
and I play some music.
Could be from my childhood.
I like to reminisce on thosethings and most of the time it's
where I let myself cry like forno good reason, and that is
(11:27):
super cleansing.
That's healing too.
And when I was young I rememberthat I would cry for everything
I felt like and I was told thatI was too emotional or that I
was sensitive.
But that's when I was doing myown rituals and cleansing
(11:48):
Because I felt, after a greatcry, like I feel so good.
Obviously I feel all mokosa andstuffy and my eyes are all red
and puffy, but it helps so muchjust to release and, you know,
not hold it together, right,like we're always taught, or I
was taught to hold my shittogether.
And when I do those things.
(12:09):
For myself, it's just a biglike release of the bottleneck
that I've been holding back on.
It's like a volcano ready toerupt kind of thing, but in a
good way, in a good emotionalway.
And right now is the time to doit, when it's the full moon.
So, in your journal, I want youto reflect on what rituals or
practices help you come back toyourself when everything feels
(12:34):
too loud.
How do you go back to center?
What would a soul level resetlook like for you right now?
So think about these things andhow you want to proceed during
this full moon.
Okay, let's talk about what tobe mindful of during this time.
Don't force clarity.
(12:55):
Allow space for it to rise.
So sometimes the ego wants to,you know, get shit done.
That's where you have to, okay,sit yourself right back down
that tush in the seat and justlet it come through naturally.
Avoid comparing your journey toothers, especially online.
(13:15):
This is a big one, because whenyou're comparing yourself to
others, it's mostly because youprobably want to achieve what
the other person has, especiallyif you feel like you're being
left behind, and I want you toreally sit with that and allow
yourself to see yourselffulfilling those results Like
(13:36):
you're going to get there.
Often, when we compareourselves, we feel this envy or
jealousy, or resentment, butknow that if you really want to,
you can get there.
You give yourself permission togo there, daydream about it,
and if not, you can do it evenmore chingon even better.
(13:57):
So be gentle with your nervoussystem.
So overstimulation is real.
So sit down, chillax, time willcome, everything will come, and
it's due time, in divine timing, I like to call it.
And remember to breathe.
It's going to be okay.
(14:18):
And one good thing that youcould do if you feel like your
nervous system is out of controland out of whack, I would
suggest you wash your hands withcold water and maybe sing happy
birthday song or twinkle,twinkle little star is my
favorite and regulate yourself,because sometimes you overcommit
and now is not the time forthat.
(14:40):
Now is the time to slow down,especially since we're still in
Mercury retrograde until August11th.
So we're almost there.
Just make sure you're reallytaking care of yourself and
having that personal time to dowhat you got to do.
And that could also happen spurof the moment during the day,
like when you're committed or inthe middle of something, just
(15:02):
if you need to take thatbathroom break.
Go sit down in the potty andjust collect yourself.
Do what you got to do.
Watch for the ego versus corazón.
So this Leo energy can hype usup, and the goal isn't to prove,
it's to be.
So remember, just be, be here,be in the present, be in the now
(15:25):
moment.
There are so many times that Ioverride my heart, like me da
una corazonada that it's notright or I shouldn't do this,
but I'm going to do it anywaybecause my mind says, nope, we
got to do it, we got to get shitdone, and sometimes it's not,
it's not the right time.
So honor that, honor that yourheart or your gut is telling you
(15:47):
okay, let's take it slow.
There's something here, beforeyou jump the gun or jump to
conclusions on what the egowants to see and sometimes
that's the prejudice that wehave, or we have this
preconception of things and wedon't let life unfold and
surprise us Sometimes there's somany beautiful things we miss
(16:10):
out on because we're so stuck tothe outcome or the expectations
, or I needed to be a certainway and no, let all that go.
Let all that go, especiallywith control.
So remember, you don't got toprove nothing to nobody.
You just have to be and beyourself, and this collective
(16:31):
energy feels like a deepinvitation to speak your truth,
even if your voice shakes.
Choose yourself without guiltand release timelines,
expectations and old roles thatyou've outgrown, especially with
those limiting beliefs.
Hi Mijita, I always tell this tomyself you don't need to have
it all figured out, you justneed to listen to your inner
(16:52):
wisdom.
That's your compass.
You should be following.
That's the map, and if thistime is bringing up a lot,
you're not alone.
Be tender with yourself, rest,hydrate and breathe.
So to help with this, here's anaffirmation you can tell
yourself Yo me doy permiso toshine, to pause and to realign
(17:17):
with my truth.
I honor what's ready to bereleased and what's waiting to
rise and, of course, I have aspecial treat for you.
So I love to pull oracle cardsas part of my practice for the
(17:41):
full moon and I'm going to sharewith you a spread, a full moon
release spread, that I have from111 Oracle Spreads for Every
Day, book by Crystal Banner.
And with this spread, it's whena luminous full moon hangs low
and bright in the sky.
(18:01):
It exerts a powerful influence,shedding a light on the
uncomfortable parts of ourselvesthat we might prefer to keep in
shadow.
This is the phase in the lunarcycle for letting go and
releasing all the things, peopleand emotions that no longer
serve.
You Use this spread to identifywhat you need to let go of to
move forward.
So the first card that I pulledwas what is the full moon
(18:26):
illuminating that needs to bereleased?
And I'm going to go with my gal, yasmin Boland, and she has the
Moonology Manifestation Oraclecards and in this case I didn't
pull only one card.
I pulled two came out and I'mlike how yummy and delicious.
So the first card is firstquarter moon in Sagittarius,
(18:49):
which is believe in your goodluck With this card.
It's whatever is going on inyour life.
You need to take care of thesmall stuff and the big stuff
will fall into place.
Problems can arise now becauseof carelessness or judgment
lapse.
Avoid telling everyone youropinion until you're sure you
know exactly what's going on.
Think about the baby steps youneed to take on your way to your
(19:10):
goal and don't take too manyrisks.
Believe in your own good luckand don't be arrogant about it.
Think an important decisionthrough very carefully before
taking action.
So the way I interpret this onefor our collective is to
believe, to let go of thatbelief that it's all about luck.
Right, there is a little effortthat goes into it.
(19:31):
The second card that came up wasfirst quarter moon in Capricorn
Unleash your kindest self.
So with this card it's.
Are you being too hard onyourself or someone else?
Do you think you need to bestrict with yourself or other
people to get to where you wantto go?
Your challenge now is to bedisciplined in terms of doing
what needs to be done to get towhere you want to go.
Your challenge now is to bedisciplined in terms of doing
what needs to be done to getwhat you want without sucking
(19:54):
all the joy out of it.
Feeling good about life is oneof the most powerful tools you
have when it comes tomanifesting.
So be kind and be your mostcharming self.
So, with the first card on,believe you're good luck.
That's where you're releasingthat you need to have all this
hard work, and that's what I'mtrying and that's what I'm
(20:15):
getting.
It's giving yourself permissionto dream and but you don't have
to work so hard.
So believe that you do haveluck and release that.
Release that out to theuniverse.
Release that, release that outto the universe.
Now with the, unleash yourkindest self.
It's good to be realistic, butyou don't have to be hanging on
(20:39):
to the reality to the pointwhere you no longer see like the
beauty in everything.
And with this one it's alsogetting that right mindset to
decide that you're no longergoing to fall for certain things
or provoke a situation, thatyou're going to be kind to
yourself and to others, andthat's what we're releasing.
We need to fix everything andwe need to be there for
(21:03):
everybody.
It's releasing that side of usthat we always want to make
everything like our problem.
It's releasing that side of usthat we always want to make
everything like our problem andso release that.
Now.
The second card is for this fullmoon release spread is what
inner resources can I call uponto help me?
Let go?
And for this one I pulled thefull moon in Virgo.
(21:23):
Take inspired action.
This card is bursting withgoddess energy and reminds you
that while it's wonderful tohave lofty dreams, you also need
to ground those desires bytaking inspired action.
Commune with the heavens, buttake practical steps down here
on earth.
Draw down the energies ofdivine by doing something as
seemingly trivial as making abullet point list of what you
(21:47):
need to do to manifest yourdreams into reality.
Also, know that you're 100%worthy of your dreams.
Ditch the self-criticism andsecond-guessing yourself and
others.
So it's important to believe inour dreams, but we also need to
take practical steps towardsthem.
So this energy of this cardwill help you connect with that
(22:09):
reality.
So tap into your inner resourceof what are the next practical
steps and make that bullet pointlist.
One affirmation that is withthis card is I forgive myself
for everything.
I am doing my best.
Now the third card representswhat space will this release
(22:30):
make room for?
And the card pulled for thisone is first quarter moon in
Scorpio.
Release your blocks.
So when it comes to pushingthrough your fears and any other
negative feelings, you're goingto have to dig deeper.
The only thing we have to fearis fear itself, because fear
(22:50):
blocks us.
Make time to clear any toxicfeelings around you.
Don't let pride stop you fromshowing how dearly you want
something.
It's okay to be vulnerable Ifyou know the people you're
dealing with are trustworthy.
Think about others as much asyourself.
So with this card, we'rereleasing so much, so then we
(23:12):
can call in our full potential.
So it's.
I feel like this is like amental detox that you can do,
because these blocks and thesefears that come up and these
insecurities and that, like,once we release all those things
, we're able to have like sky'sthe limit right.
So, using this full moon energyand just focusing on what are
(23:38):
the feelings and emotions comingup and digging deeper.
The last card in this readingis the question how will this
new space empower me?
And I pulled the full moon inCapricorn.
Take a reality check.
This card has two sides to it,literally and metaphorically.
(23:59):
If you've been worrying aboutsomething, the good news is that
you shouldn't waste anothermoment worrying, as this won't
help.
Some things only happen onceand that could be really good
news.
If you're wondering about howsomething you're keen on is
going to turn out, this cardcould be a sign that you've hit
a roadblock.
If you want to change that,you're going to need to put in
(24:22):
extra effort with yourmanifesting work.
So for manifesting balance,find a balance between facing
your reality and be kind toyourself and others, manifesting
mindset.
If you're not happy with themessage of this card, use the
old trick of finding the bestthought you can about your
situation and go from there.
So what I'm gathering from thisone card is see where you're at
(24:46):
right now and what are thesteps forward and sometimes it
could be a hot mess where you'reat, but know that things.
You should look at thingsprospectively instead of
thinking, oh I, you know all themistakes and things that I've
made.
So again, with this full moonenergy, you want to get clear on
(25:08):
where I'm at right now.
So then you can see the growththat you had, let's say, a year
ago, like where are you at rightnow?
That's the things that youshould focus on.
So an affirmation with thiscard is everything is always
working out in my favor.
So, again, some of thesemessages are not that groovy,
(25:30):
but they are spicy and juicy.
So sit with them, reflect onthem and journal about them,
like what comes up.
Gracias for tuning into thesacred moment with me.

This episode is all about theLionsgate energy and how the

Para que te reencuentrescontigo misma, para que brilles

Welcome back to Ay Mijita,embracing your roots, reclaim
your esencia.
I'm your Dora Alicia Praxedis,intuitive guide, shamanic
practitioner, energy healer andyour comadre for all things
ancestral healing, emotionalwellness and energetic resetsre
for all things ancestral healing, emotional wellness and
energetic resets.
(00:48):
Today's episode is juicy.
We're talking about theLionsgate Portal, the energetic
doorway that opens every year onAugust 8th and this upcoming
full moon in Aquarius.
I'm gonna break it down for youin grounded, corazón-led way,
sharing how I use this time forlimpias, realigning with my
intentions and tuning into lavoz de mi alma.
(01:10):
So grab your agüita, yourjournal, and let's dive in now.
(01:33):
Diving into what is theLionsgate portal.
It's something that I lookforward to every year and for me
, it's probably because I havemy anniversary with my husband
and we're about 23 years in, andit just so happens to be on 8-8
.
And I also thought it's alsocolliding with the full moon.
So I've been feeling a lot ofemotional things lately and
(01:55):
definitely trying to navigatethe waters at work and my
personal life with my familyrelationships and all it's been
pretty turbulent.
I don't know about you, and ifyou're hearing this episode
around the time that it drops,you might be able to notice some
of these things too.
But regardless, if you'relistening to this episode later
(02:15):
in time, you will stilldefinitely get a dose of a
message that needs to comethrough for you.
So the Lionsgate portal is anenergetic alignment that happens
every year on August 8th.
So again 8-8.
And one thing I find reallyfascinating is if you turn the 8
like sideways, it's an infinitysymbol.
(02:36):
So that is something that I'vealways noticed and really
powerful for me.
And so when I was younger, Idid this compatibility test with
my then boyfriend, philly nowhusband and I seriously thought
we were going to be togetherforever, and hopefully that is
the case.
So that's where our anniversarydoes fall, on 8-8.
(02:57):
And that's why it means so muchto me.
So on 8-8, this is when the sunis in Leo and the star Sirius
rises to the sky and we get apowerful alignment with earth
and the galactic center and Iknow this is all kind of
astrology things, but it's verymeaningful.
So in astrology and spiritualtraditions, sirius is known as
(03:21):
the high frequency star,associated with abundance,
divine wisdom and higherconsciousness.
So why is this so powerful?
Because we're in Leo season,baby, and it's a lot of heat
right and fire, but it's alsoabout the heart, authenticity
and stepping into our radiance,our loose, and when 8-8 rolls
(03:44):
around, it's like this energeticamplifier that invites us to
dream big, release fear andmanifest with clarity.
So lately I've been gettingtriggered as fuck and it's
probably bringing me someclarity the contrast and the
fighting and all or thediscussions that happen around
this time, and so we call itLionsgate because of this fiery
(04:07):
Leo energy and it comes throughas confident, bold,
heart-centered.
It's also the sign that rulesthe heart chakra.
So if you're having troubleswith the heart, that's probably
why there's a lot of things thatare triggering, especially in
relationships to come afloat sowe can have these discussions
and kind of clear the clutter,clear the air.
(04:28):
So I want you to pause, if youcan, and reflect on these
questions and obviously, ifyou're driving, keep on driving.
Want you to reflect on whereare you hiding your luz, your
(04:48):
voice or your truth.
What would it look like toexpress your authentic self, sin
miedo, like not holdinganything back?
What would that look like foryou?
One thing I was meditating onwas how I sometimes bite my
tongue when I want to saysomething, because I can come
(05:10):
across really sharp, like adagger, my words, and so I have
to be careful with those.
But then again, I do want tohonor my truth and when I don't
like or appreciate something,finding that way to express it
in a love and compassion way,without sounding too bitchy.
Right, because, especiallybeing a girl or a woman, it
(05:33):
might come across as, oh, andthis was the ass or that type of
thing.
And maybe I am, but it justrubs me a wrong way or it just
doesn't sit well with me.
It just rubs me a wrong way orit just doesn't sit well with me
, and that's where gettingtriggered in those ways means
that we just need to communicate.
It could be our boundaries, itcould be the way we feel once we
(05:55):
process it a bit, but it'sgetting down to kind of that
root of what's going on.
Another way I like to expressmyself is dancing, so I will
often just turn on music.
This is my favorite, sitting inthe car blasting the music to
my favorite reggaeton song, or Iam like singing Como la Flor de
(06:19):
Selena at the high pitch, likethat's my jam, so that's where.
Just be you and bring it backto what causes you to move, like
your body, or like really findyour jam.
Those are the things thatshould be so sacred for you and
bring you back to center whenyou're feeling like the tippy
(06:40):
cup, like at the carnival, likespinning out of control.
This year the Lion's Gate energyis syncing up with the full
moon in Aquarius, which is goingto bring a whole other flavor
to this portal.
Full moons are always aboutrelease shining light on what's
hidden.
A great metaphor my astrologerused with me to explain this has
(07:04):
been when the light is shiningbright.
So full moon is when the moonis the brightest and it's
shining on a pool and all thestuff that's at the bottom of
the pool comes to light.
That's kind of what's beingworked on, like it's all the way
at the bottom of the pool butit's there and it's so visible
(07:26):
to the eyes when that moonlightis shining so bright.
And Aquarius energy brings upthemes around community versus
individuality, emotionaldetachment versus overthinking,
visionary ideas versus groundedaction.
So what might come up duringthis time?
Feeling emotionallyoverstimulated or even
(07:49):
disconnected, conflicts aroundbelonging, speaking up or
expressing your vision, oldcycles around rejection, people
pleasing or self-doubt.
Bubbling up the energy, withthis full moon in Aquarius is
ushering in change and progress.
So top five questions you shouldask yourself are have I been
(08:12):
pragmatic to the point of losingthe romance of life?
Have I been living too much inmy head and not enough in my
heart?
Have I been trying to do thingsmy way for the sake of it?
Have I been trying too hard tobefriend people, and for the
wrong reasons?
And have I allowed myself tomove forward this month?
(08:36):
And the message here is it'stime to detach and let go like
for real.
So find a balance betweentrying to be all things to all
people versus having realrelationships.
Forgive and perform a ceremonyof forgiveness and I'll walk
through a few steps later inthis episode and practice
(08:58):
gratitude as well.
Pero, mijita, this is anopportunity not to panic or shut
down, but to pause, cleanse andrecalibrate.
Some more questions for you toreflect on in your journal.
Am I surrounding myself withpeople who see me clearly and
celebrate my vision.
What am I ready to releaseunder this full moon?
(09:20):
This is a great time tomeditate on these things and
really do this ritual of lettinggo.
Let me share how I move throughthis energy in my own practice.
So first of all, I start with alimpia con un huevo, especially
if I've been feeling heavyemotionally or mentally, this
helps me clear the energeticfield and connect back to my
(09:42):
intuition, and I like to kind ofread the huevo and see what
else comes up.
The next thing I do during afull moon is I light a candle
and set intentions for what I'mready to call in Not just
manifestations, but feelingpeace, clarity and confianza.
I also like to automatic write,and so I journal about what I'm
(10:04):
releasing and what I'mreclaiming during this time, and
especially the release part.
That's something that is sorelieving.
So for the full moon I do asmall release ritual, outside,
weather permitting, where Iwrite down what I'm letting go
of and burn it safely I do havea fire pit outside and then I
(10:26):
say a prayer and an intention.
There are crystals that I workwith as well, and for this Leo
season it's and I'm totallygoing to butcher the name on
this is cardiline for confidence, sunstone for joy and prite for
abundance For the Aquarius fullmoon.
(10:47):
I love to work with amethystfor clarity, fluorite for mental
balance and selenite forpurification.
I actually have an amethystbracelet that I wear all the
time because that really helpsme keep my clarity, especially
when I'm doing work on others.
(11:07):
That's something that reallygrounds me and, no lie,
sometimes I just take aspiritual bath, so in the shower
and I play some music.
Could be from my childhood.
I like to reminisce on thosethings and most of the time it's
where I let myself cry like forno good reason, and that is
(11:27):
super cleansing.
That's healing too.
And when I was young I rememberthat I would cry for everything
I felt like and I was told thatI was too emotional or that I
was sensitive.
But that's when I was doing myown rituals and cleansing
(11:48):
Because I felt, after a greatcry, like I feel so good.
Obviously I feel all mokosa andstuffy and my eyes are all red
and puffy, but it helps so muchjust to release and, you know,
not hold it together, right,like we're always taught, or I
was taught to hold my shittogether.
And when I do those things.
(12:09):
For myself, it's just a biglike release of the bottleneck
that I've been holding back on.
It's like a volcano ready toerupt kind of thing, but in a
good way, in a good emotionalway.
And right now is the time to doit, when it's the full moon.
So, in your journal, I want youto reflect on what rituals or
practices help you come back toyourself when everything feels
(12:34):
too loud.
How do you go back to center?
What would a soul level resetlook like for you right now?
So think about these things andhow you want to proceed during
this full moon.
Okay, let's talk about what tobe mindful of during this time.
Don't force clarity.
(12:55):
Allow space for it to rise.
So sometimes the ego wants to,you know, get shit done.
That's where you have to, okay,sit yourself right back down
that tush in the seat and justlet it come through naturally.
Avoid comparing your journey toothers, especially online.
(13:15):
This is a big one, because whenyou're comparing yourself to
others, it's mostly because youprobably want to achieve what
the other person has, especiallyif you feel like you're being
left behind, and I want you toreally sit with that and allow
yourself to see yourselffulfilling those results Like
(13:36):
you're going to get there.
Often, when we compareourselves, we feel this envy or
jealousy, or resentment, butknow that if you really want to,
you can get there.
You give yourself permission togo there, daydream about it,
and if not, you can do it evenmore chingon even better.
(13:57):
So be gentle with your nervoussystem.
So overstimulation is real.
So sit down, chillax, time willcome, everything will come, and
it's due time, in divine timing, I like to call it.
And remember to breathe.
It's going to be okay.
(14:18):
And one good thing that youcould do if you feel like your
nervous system is out of controland out of whack, I would
suggest you wash your hands withcold water and maybe sing happy
birthday song or twinkle,twinkle little star is my
favorite and regulate yourself,because sometimes you overcommit
and now is not the time forthat.
(14:40):
Now is the time to slow down,especially since we're still in
Mercury retrograde until August11th.
So we're almost there.
Just make sure you're reallytaking care of yourself and
having that personal time to dowhat you got to do.
And that could also happen spurof the moment during the day,
like when you're committed or inthe middle of something, just
(15:02):
if you need to take thatbathroom break.
Go sit down in the potty andjust collect yourself.
Do what you got to do.
Watch for the ego versus corazón.
So this Leo energy can hype usup, and the goal isn't to prove,
it's to be.
So remember, just be, be here,be in the present, be in the now
(15:25):
moment.
There are so many times that Ioverride my heart, like me da
una corazonada that it's notright or I shouldn't do this,
but I'm going to do it anywaybecause my mind says, nope, we
got to do it, we got to get shitdone, and sometimes it's not,
it's not the right time.
So honor that, honor that yourheart or your gut is telling you
(15:47):
okay, let's take it slow.
There's something here, beforeyou jump the gun or jump to
conclusions on what the egowants to see and sometimes
that's the prejudice that wehave, or we have this
preconception of things and wedon't let life unfold and
surprise us Sometimes there's somany beautiful things we miss
(16:10):
out on because we're so stuck tothe outcome or the expectations
, or I needed to be a certainway and no, let all that go.
Let all that go, especiallywith control.
So remember, you don't got toprove nothing to nobody.
You just have to be and beyourself, and this collective
(16:31):
energy feels like a deepinvitation to speak your truth,
even if your voice shakes.
Choose yourself without guiltand release timelines,
expectations and old roles thatyou've outgrown, especially with
those limiting beliefs.
Hi Mijita, I always tell this tomyself you don't need to have
it all figured out, you justneed to listen to your inner
(16:52):
wisdom.
That's your compass.
You should be following.
That's the map, and if thistime is bringing up a lot,
you're not alone.
Be tender with yourself, rest,hydrate and breathe.
So to help with this, here's anaffirmation you can tell
yourself Yo me doy permiso toshine, to pause and to realign
(17:17):
with my truth.
I honor what's ready to bereleased and what's waiting to
rise and, of course, I have aspecial treat for you.
So I love to pull oracle cardsas part of my practice for the
(17:41):
full moon and I'm going to sharewith you a spread, a full moon
release spread, that I have from111 Oracle Spreads for Every
Day, book by Crystal Banner.
And with this spread, it's whena luminous full moon hangs low
and bright in the sky.
(18:01):
It exerts a powerful influence,shedding a light on the
uncomfortable parts of ourselvesthat we might prefer to keep in
shadow.
This is the phase in the lunarcycle for letting go and
releasing all the things, peopleand emotions that no longer
serve.
You Use this spread to identifywhat you need to let go of to
move forward.
So the first card that I pulledwas what is the full moon
(18:26):
illuminating that needs to bereleased?
And I'm going to go with my gal, yasmin Boland, and she has the
Moonology Manifestation Oraclecards and in this case I didn't
pull only one card.
I pulled two came out and I'mlike how yummy and delicious.
So the first card is firstquarter moon in Sagittarius,
(18:49):
which is believe in your goodluck With this card.
It's whatever is going on inyour life.
You need to take care of thesmall stuff and the big stuff
will fall into place.
Problems can arise now becauseof carelessness or judgment
lapse.
Avoid telling everyone youropinion until you're sure you
know exactly what's going on.
Think about the baby steps youneed to take on your way to your
(19:10):
goal and don't take too manyrisks.
Believe in your own good luckand don't be arrogant about it.
Think an important decisionthrough very carefully before
taking action.
So the way I interpret this onefor our collective is to
believe, to let go of thatbelief that it's all about luck.
Right, there is a little effortthat goes into it.
(19:31):
The second card that came up wasfirst quarter moon in Capricorn
Unleash your kindest self.
So with this card it's.
Are you being too hard onyourself or someone else?
Do you think you need to bestrict with yourself or other
people to get to where you wantto go?
Your challenge now is to bedisciplined in terms of doing
what needs to be done to get towhere you want to go.
Your challenge now is to bedisciplined in terms of doing
what needs to be done to getwhat you want without sucking
(19:54):
all the joy out of it.
Feeling good about life is oneof the most powerful tools you
have when it comes tomanifesting.
So be kind and be your mostcharming self.
So, with the first card on,believe you're good luck.
That's where you're releasingthat you need to have all this
hard work, and that's what I'mtrying and that's what I'm
(20:15):
getting.
It's giving yourself permissionto dream and but you don't have
to work so hard.
So believe that you do haveluck and release that.
Release that out to theuniverse.
Release that, release that outto the universe.
Now with the, unleash yourkindest self.
It's good to be realistic, butyou don't have to be hanging on
(20:39):
to the reality to the pointwhere you no longer see like the
beauty in everything.
And with this one it's alsogetting that right mindset to
decide that you're no longergoing to fall for certain things
or provoke a situation, thatyou're going to be kind to
yourself and to others, andthat's what we're releasing.
We need to fix everything andwe need to be there for
(21:03):
everybody.
It's releasing that side of usthat we always want to make
everything like our problem.
It's releasing that side of usthat we always want to make
everything like our problem andso release that.
Now.
The second card is for this fullmoon release spread is what
inner resources can I call uponto help me?
Let go?
And for this one I pulled thefull moon in Virgo.
(21:23):
Take inspired action.
This card is bursting withgoddess energy and reminds you
that while it's wonderful tohave lofty dreams, you also need
to ground those desires bytaking inspired action.
Commune with the heavens, buttake practical steps down here
on earth.
Draw down the energies ofdivine by doing something as
seemingly trivial as making abullet point list of what you
(21:47):
need to do to manifest yourdreams into reality.
Also, know that you're 100%worthy of your dreams.
Ditch the self-criticism andsecond-guessing yourself and
others.
So it's important to believe inour dreams, but we also need to
take practical steps towardsthem.
So this energy of this cardwill help you connect with that
(22:09):
reality.
So tap into your inner resourceof what are the next practical
steps and make that bullet pointlist.
One affirmation that is withthis card is I forgive myself
for everything.
I am doing my best.
Now the third card representswhat space will this release
(22:30):
make room for?
And the card pulled for thisone is first quarter moon in
Scorpio.
Release your blocks.
So when it comes to pushingthrough your fears and any other
negative feelings, you're goingto have to dig deeper.
The only thing we have to fearis fear itself, because fear
(22:50):
blocks us.
Make time to clear any toxicfeelings around you.
Don't let pride stop you fromshowing how dearly you want
something.
It's okay to be vulnerable Ifyou know the people you're
dealing with are trustworthy.
Think about others as much asyourself.
So with this card, we'rereleasing so much, so then we
(23:12):
can call in our full potential.
So it's.
I feel like this is like amental detox that you can do,
because these blocks and thesefears that come up and these
insecurities and that, like,once we release all those things
, we're able to have like sky'sthe limit right.
So, using this full moon energyand just focusing on what are
(23:38):
the feelings and emotions comingup and digging deeper.
The last card in this readingis the question how will this
new space empower me?
And I pulled the full moon inCapricorn.
Take a reality check.
This card has two sides to it,literally and metaphorically.
(23:59):
If you've been worrying aboutsomething, the good news is that
you shouldn't waste anothermoment worrying, as this won't
help.
Some things only happen onceand that could be really good
news.
If you're wondering about howsomething you're keen on is
going to turn out, this cardcould be a sign that you've hit
a roadblock.
If you want to change that,you're going to need to put in
(24:22):
extra effort with yourmanifesting work.
So for manifesting balance,find a balance between facing
your reality and be kind toyourself and others, manifesting
mindset.
If you're not happy with themessage of this card, use the
old trick of finding the bestthought you can about your
situation and go from there.
So what I'm gathering from thisone card is see where you're at
(24:46):
right now and what are thesteps forward and sometimes it
could be a hot mess where you'reat, but know that things.
You should look at thingsprospectively instead of
thinking, oh I, you know all themistakes and things that I've
made.
So again, with this full moonenergy, you want to get clear on
(25:08):
where I'm at right now.
So then you can see the growththat you had, let's say, a year
ago, like where are you at rightnow?
That's the things that youshould focus on.
So an affirmation with thiscard is everything is always
working out in my favor.
So, again, some of thesemessages are not that groovy,
(25:30):
but they are spicy and juicy.
So sit with them, reflect onthem and journal about them,
like what comes up.
Gracias for tuning into thesacred moment with me.
