When is this Year’s October Full Moon?
Monday, October 6, is the October full moon this year!
The spiritual meaning of the October 2024 full moon
October 6th marks the first full moon of Autumn. We have officially entered the dark half of the Wheel of the Year (you can learn more about the Wheel of the Year here).
What can you let go of mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually?
Trees are beginning to drop their leaves right now – many will be bare by the end of this moon cycle. They’re currently giving us a glorious display of the ease with which we can shed the things it’s time to release from our lives. Plants are continuing to die off in our gardens & yards. Nature is very clearly drawing its energy inward & showing us how to let things die away as it does.
This is the same work you’re being invited to do in your own life right now. This is the personal growth work nature is supporting you in: turning your energy inward & letting things die off as you do.
SHIFTING INWARD during the full moon
With this full moon, we are physically shifting more deeply inward; spending more & more time indoors as the days grow darker & colder. Mentally, we are also making a huge inward shift. This is the time when we really begin exploring our own inner worlds & discovering what we’re ready to let go of.
The Summer months were a time of really big, expansive growth. Everything in nature stretched & grew. Whether you can see this growth in your own life or not, you have also stretched & grown in a whole variety of ways.
As we move deeper into Autumn, and more deeply into ourselves, it becomes clearer that there are things in our lives that we have outgrown over the past year.
- Old ways of operating,
- Stories you’ve always told yourself,
- Limiting beliefs you’ve carried around for far too long that just don’t serve you anymore.
It’s clear they are holding you back, you’ve outgrown them & it’s time to let them go.
Under this illuminating full moon it’s a powerful time to look at what those things are in your life, to uncover the things it’s time to let die.
Full moons are always a powerful time to do work around letting things go. And, of course, Autumn is the season of letting go. Making October’s full moon an extremely potent time to begin this meaningful autumn work.
Your work right now is to uncover some of the ways you hold yourself back: old stories you tell yourself that keep you locked in a box; limiting beliefs you cling to, that aren’t even TRUE any more (or ever); the ways you keep yourself playing small, because to truly evolve is really scary.
Use the spiritual & energetic power of the October full moon to Let Those Go!
Here are a couple intentional October full moon journal prompts to help you begin this transformative personal growth work.
