Tomorrow brings a powerful Full Moon in Capricorn, coinciding with Guru Purnima, the sacred day honoring the teachers of our life.
It is also my natal moon: I was born under a Capricorn Full Moon, so I know this frequency intimately.
This is a moon that shines its light on our deepest abandonment wounds, those tender places within where we once felt left behind, unseen, unloved. As we grow, these wounds can quietly shape our expectations, our relationships, and the way we hold ourselves.
This Full Moon invites us to cradle these places gently, like holding ourselves with velvet gloves. To tend to the softness inside with care, not judgment.
Because these wounds—these teachers—hold within them the seeds of our greatest wisdom.
They are not here to break us, but to help us grow into the fullness of who we are meant to become.
And sometimes, when we cannot yet hold these tender places within ourselves with compassion, it is the presence of a teacher, a guide, or a loving other who can help us carry them with gentleness, until we learn to do so for ourselves.
Perhaps this is the deeper link between this Capricorn Full Moon and Guru Purnima: a reminder that we are never meant to walk this path alone.
I know that for me, it has been the loving gaze of others, meeting me in those wounded places with unconditional love and acceptance, that has allowed me to slowly soften… and begin to meet myself the same way.
May we meet ourselves and each other there, with kindness.
