July Full Moon || Expansion

July 2021 Full Moon Reading By Gemma Celento

This Full Moon marks the fulfillment, and nurturance of the ‘I AM’ through a new conscious evolution. At this pinnacle point we have reached a monumental aspect within the collective consciousness. The Full Moon lights up in Abhijit a ‘lost’ nakshatra (lunar mansion) which marks the return to higher consciousness. The theme of this lunation will shower down nurturing cosmic prana and work to expand the sense of being into greater conscious ownership of one's divine plan.

Saturn and Jupiter continue to play a prominent role through this Full Moon.They are working to reshape self-aware consciousness through subject/object. The subject/object shift is how one sees self within reality. It is duality into creation. The mental shifts have reached a level in which the individual mind is more settled, more reassured, more aware of boundaries, and even aware of dislikes. This is a part of redirection. The energies are strengthening one’s own inner guru. These forces will work to expand the mind so one can take on who they are becoming. This ownership and consciousness shift will unite ‘I AM’ into a new state of understanding and embodiment. It will work to shift the restraints one believes is possible. There will be a natural inclination to move towards divine plan and impulses will shift ownership of dharma into day to day actions. This shift will move one through interest and new motivations and inspirations will arise.  Limitations and any boundary testing that has led into this Full Moon is an integral part of the unfolding. These energies are reaffirming one’s value system, and will work to strengthen inner confidence. 

Deeper cosmic energies are relaying Moksha-liberation. This is liberation from the mundane aspects that may have hindered the ‘I AM’ consciousness from taking fuller form within  everyday life. The liberation is another level of spiritual manifestation within material through the individuated consciousness. There is a transformation of the ‘I’ self, a retraction of selfishness, in which one can see more unity consciousness. It is a pivotal shift towards Aquarian consciousness. Here lies the energies for dharma and purpose to emerge within greater space throughout the 4 levels of the mind. Like Aquarian consciousness one must see themselves as limitless, not bound by restrictions, it will work to expand the sense of self in achieving and striving for dharma. Don’t worry these energies are also working to downpour cosmic prana.You will be thoroughly supported energetically, and spiritually. Your cup will flow over, allow the residue of the old to washaway.  Many of you may feel energetic shifts within the body, either in your rhythms and/or emotionally. 

This position works to bloom the latent potentials within the self that have been stirring over these last few luntations. It will give new energies to nurture abilities and awareness arising from within. Expect more confidence, but outward action isn’t there yet. When the Sun moves into Leo, (not just Leo season) the outward energies will be more of an emanation. It will emanate from the new way of seeing and being. Another important aspect of this Full Moon is its energy of preservation. There will be a preservation of what works, a preservation of the self so stability is worked from within. This will allow one to carry their inner wisdom forward in the here and now. The Full Moon asks that you own yourself and the divine plan within the present. There has been so much energy reworking karmic cycles, and restructuring the mental/emotional body.  Now we have a full circle, a beautiful reflection to carry all that you have become into this present moment. See into your horizon, not into your past. Trust that the wisdom has been reshaped so what serves you, what enriches you, is alive within you. You are your guru, and as your mind expands into new horizons you will begin to see self in new landscapes envisioned by the soul. 

Last thing, Mercury and the Nodes rest at archetypal positions. They will work to connect into deeper knowing of truth, of desires (exemplified, not influenced by external). There will be an understanding of where you’ve come from and where you are going. These planetary aspects work to draw one away from material aspects of creation that have served its purpose. This is across all aspects of the sensory world- mind, relationships, ideologies. As they shift the self into new ways of understanding you will have a chance to see underlying fears, attachments, false safety, and any mental mechanism that created toxic patterning of fear and reactivity. It will show shades and variations of involvement within the external world, so the inner truth may be strengthened. This will work strongly on those with prominent energy in water signs, Gemini, and/or Capricorn. Expect a deeper understanding of personal dharma. These three planets aid to shift the mind into aligned communication, acceptance, and will push new energies of striving. There may be obsessions towards the soul's directives. The mental space has been cleared, and for many of you, creativity will increase, daydreaming, and complete absorption into mission may blossom. There is an immense amount of spiritual energy down pouring. As energies remove the material associations it will work to spiritualize the self in divine love. These are the aspects of both regeneration, reallocation, and resurrection. There will be a rise in new will power, new focus, and mission driven from the seat of the self. Karma that needs to be rebalanced in the here and now will present itself, it will offer an opportunity of reciprocity and unification. Remember that love is the universal energy of transmutation, in alchemy, and deeper facets of occult and esoteric studies. It is the medium in which 4D will rise. Whatever moves through you, lead with love for self and others. These energies are bringing a different understanding of self into time/space. What you need to create is here. It is no longer bound by the past, or a projection into the future, it is unbound and living within you and this moment. Trust the power that is moving through you.


Ritual to Support Your Dharma

Honor you. This Full Moon ritual should be centered around your dharma. Create a sacred space, light a white candle and write out what you would like to devote yourself to. If you know your dharma, the next level of purpose that moves through you write it out to devote your time and life force to the fulfillment of your inner gifts. If you do not know what your dharma / purpose is, focus on learning something new. These energies are ripe for learning and will support spiritual studies or anything igniting your curiosity. 

If you have a scrying mirror, or crystal ball, meditate to receive guidance on how to move into your dharma more profoundly. It is important to meditate on expanding beyond the time space. This meditation can be astral meditation or yoga nidra. Once you have completed your journeying, take purified water in a glass pitcher and set it under the moon light. The next morning face east and pour the water out in front of you. This will purify through the 7 rays and the light. It is important to feel purifed through your mind, body, and energy field. Repeat this for 7 days. If you have your dharma, read it each day allow it to rise up into your conscious mind. You may also banish any subconscious thoughts with this declaration.

"The bricks of lack, limitation, (add anything else, abandon, envy,etc), crumble to my feet, I walk into the Kingdom of Heaven with grace. I am the perfect embodiment for my divine plan at this divine time. All I seek is moving through me.“

As above, so below. As within, so without. And so it is.
