By using an almanac or calendar, you can easily determine the sign in which the moon will be full or new and the sun sign is for that time. The attributes of those signs will influence the energies of that time and feed into the strength of your purpose for that moon phase.
For instance, let’s say that the Blood Moon which occurs in the Sun sign of Libra has a Full Moon in the sign of Pisces. The theme of the Blood Moon is “balance.” We are heading into a transitional time as the first harvest evolves into The Boon. The Libra sun sign helps us to embrace that balance as the seasons change and the inherent energy of that time shifts. Pisces, being a water sign, is very mutable and flexible with change, so that allows us to bend in the wind and remain standing during this time of transition. We are also adjusting to the harvest we have received and the new life it has generated. We could base our approach to the Full Moon around these themes of adaptability and balance. Just as water (from the influence of Pisces) always conforms to its container, we can work on conforming to our own environment and releasing our own expectations in favor of trusting the process.
That embraces the harvest aspect of the Full Moon and is the set up for how you would use this moon in practical application. Imagine that you are troubled because you have an electric bill you cannot pay. First, it is important that you detach yourself from focusing on a specific way for the situation to be resolved. It is normal for us to jump to the very reasonable conclusion that to rectify the problem with the electric bill, we need money; however, that is not necessarily true. While yes, that would be one way to solve the problem, what we need is for the electric company to be happy with us. The concept of detachment is one taught in many esoterically oriented spiritual paths. The human mind is logical, practical, and seeks the shortest route and the easiest means to correct a perceived error or a “bad” situation. This is fine, but the balancing side of the intellectual faculties of the mind involves considering the possibility that you are not yet aware of the correct way to solve a problem and that “giving it up to God” may be the correct approach.
Your moon work focuses on the theme of that Full Moon, which is a message of balance, mutability, and adaptation. You could envision that your account is balanced and that you and the electric company are able to achieve balance in what you have and what they need. This non-specific approach opens doors for unexpected money to show up to pay the bill, for adjustments to be made on the part of the electric company to bring your account current, or for other sources of assistance to come into play.
After you do your moon work, call the electric company and find out what kind of hardship plan or payment plan you can enter into with them. Once you have the definitive outline of your options with them, going up the chain of command if necessary, you will know some of the ways manifestation could occur. After you set the wheels in motion and follow through to the best of your ability, relax and know that the situation is rectified, even if you cannot yet see the results. Absolute faith that a goal will be accomplished is your most powerful tool and creates tremendous energy around your manifestation process. We have all seen and read about acts of tremendous faith that created miracles. The biggest way to cause the energy you invest into a situation to drop and neutralize is to allow even a moment of doubt to contaminate your process. Anytime doubt comes into play, you have lost ground. Remember, the moon is like the mirror and has the energies of reflection. We can see what we want to see until that becomes the reality.
