Cancer Full Moon – 2012
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Affirmations, Ascension, Full Moon, Inner Alchemy, Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation
The first Full Moon of the New Year highlights the opposition between Capricorn and Cancer on Monday January 9, 2012 at 2:32am ET (Jan 8th at 11:32pm PT). The Full Moon can be a time of inspiration and enlightenment, or a source of anxiety and fear.
The Capricorn – Cancer opposition is an interesting one. These two signs intensify the home, emotional intimacy, need for security, and building a solid foundation. Capricorn represents the patriarch, while Cancer represents the matriarch. Cancer moon “feels” what others need, and have a strong desire to fulfill it. The Capricorn masculine energy often overpowers the Cancer feminine moon because of the belief that all things masculine are more worthwhile than the feminine attributes. But this is shifting on a macro-cosmic and micro-cosmic level. So whether you’re male or female, learn to honor, embrace and integrate feminine characteristics.
This can be done by looking at what is happening around you and consciously nurture yourself and others in a new way. Ask your Creator when it’s time to step in and help, when to offer advice, or when it’s necessary to sit back and watch, allowing things to unfold. These are the characteristics of a great mother.
During this Full Moon, allow your artistic side to step forth and expand your creativity. Think outside the box. Do something out of character or eccentric. Try something new. Do something that shakes up the old routine to build a new foundation.
The Full Moon reveals our emotional character and deeper needs. Beliefs, emotions, and patterns that have been in the shadows are enlightened by the moons reflection. The moon also highlights security fears and compulsive reactions. Take note of what is still lurking in the shadows, and take steps towards confronting fears and resolving emotional distress.
On the lighter side, the moon also casts its glow upon viable paths for the future. An influx of ideas and inspiration may guide you upon a new course. Consciously integrate the subtle messages and suggestions from Spirit into your daily routine, creating a foundation that supports and sustains your growth.
Be receptive, honor your feelings, and tune into your dreams at this time. Now matter what changes you’re experiencing, stay positive by using affirmations to transmute old patterns into new ones.
Here are some suggestions for Cancer Full Moon Affirmations or use them as a foundation to create your own:
– I easily flow with change
– I faithfully follow my inner wisdom
– I lovingly nurture myself, my dreams, and my path
– I allow the love within my heart to easily flow and radiate in all direction and this love returns to me multiplied
– My foundation is strong and based in Universal Truth
Embrace changes as they come during the Cancer Full Moon and the rest of the year. What shows up for you around this time is a treasured gift for your growth and evolution.

Full Moon in Aries 10.11.11
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Full Moon, Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation, Transmutation
Emotions run high as we enter the Full Moon in Aries on October 10, 2011 at 10:06pm EDT (7:06 PDT). With the moon at its peak we are presented with a heightened polarity between individuality (Aries) and partnering (Libra). Libra is always seeking balance, and the quest for harmony in all relationships takes priority over personal needs. Aries is focused on personal needs and neglects achieving balance in relationships.
The moon illuminates areas of our lives that need our attention. With this full moon we are evolving and learning to express ourselves in a new way. This may impact the significant relationships and bring to light what is working and what needs to release.
The effect of the full moon can be felt for a couple of days before and after the actual event. We are all under considerable pressures as the cosmos changes, forcing us to change and evolve. During this time you may feel off balance, out of sorts, discouraged, lethargic, depressed, or unmotivated. To avoid getting swept away by these feelings take time off and relax. There is an ebb and flow to everything, and now is the time to step back.
What can you do to take advantage of the full moon?
1) Take time to notice what’s coming up for you. What emotions are being triggered or what people are upsetting you.
2) Write down a list of who or what you want to release during the full moon.
3) Visualize yourself letting go of everything on your list and replace it with what you want or God’s love, light, and energy.
4) Or burn the list sending your desires into the universe.
5) Use affirmations to transmute emotions that need to be resolved with what you want.
Affirmations:
- I heal my relationships with love and grace
- I am balanced between my individuality and partnerships
- I easily release anger and aggression
- I easily resolve emotional wounds
- I am balanced in my relationships
- I am powerful and independent
- I see my true path
- I forgive others and myself
Finding balance between the Libra energy of compromise coupled with the spontaneous energy of Aries is stirring up interesting twists in all of our lives. Use the power of the Full Moon in Aries to help you achieve your goals.

Harvest/Full Moon in Pisces 2011
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Ascension, Full Moon, Inner Alchemy, Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation, Transmutation
This month’s Full Moon on September 12, 2011 at 5:27am EDT (2:57am PDT) is also a Harvest Moon. Honor the harvest moon by acknowledging the lessons you’ve mastered, intentions brought to fruition, and personal work you’ve accomplished without judgment.
Each month the moon moves through the zodiac signs and influences us emotionally. The Full Moon in Pisces is a time to take a step back and look deep into the emotions that are coming up at this time. Focus on your inner desires and through introspection, gain insight into who you really are and understand areas of yourself that need attention.
The Full Moon is a time of emotional turbulence where you shed the old and let go of everything that no longer supports you. Take some time and reflect upon your accomplishments over the past six months. Notice what works, what needs to be tweaked, and where you can surrender to the process. Focus on the positive aspects with gratitude.
Take some time during the Harvest Full Moon to acknowledge, release, and praise yourself!

Full Moon in Aquarius 2011
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Full Moon, Inner Alchemy, Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation, Transmutation
Emotions intensify with the Full Moon in Aquarius occurring on Saturday August 13, 2011 at 2:57pm EDT (11:57am PDT). During the full moon phase our conscious and subconscious minds are seeking balance and resolution.
What emotions or issues are being brought forward to your consciousness? Now is the time to face them. You’re being guided and supported by your Inner Wisdom to face these issues, patterns, and situations head on.
The Moon in dreamy Aquarius is opposite the Sun in heart-felt Leo, and brings opportunities for deep philosophical change. It’s a perfect time to step out of the norm and look at a different realty. This opposition allows us to explore the mysteries of life and question our course. Now is a great time to ask yourself, ‘How do I lead a more purposeful life?” “How do I align myself with it?”
When you’re open to change your Inner Wisdom pulls forward ideas and inspiration to lead you on a purposeful life. It’s a time to shift misperceptions and old patterns and embrace something new.
Take advantage of this week’s Full Moon in Aquarius and clear the old subconscious patterns that control you. Let go of the old and forgive; express gratitude for all you have now, so you easily move forward with love and grace!

Full Moon in Capricorn 2011
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Full Moon, Jana Matthews, Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation
Emotions spark this week with the full moon on Friday July 15, 2011 at 2:39 am EDT (July 14 at 11:39 pm PDT). This full moon encourages us to focus on the structures, systems, and organizations of our external world. Where are you seeing cracks in the foundation? How do they affect your productivity?
What intentions you set during the new moon are either building or disintegrating during the full moon. The Capricorn moon embodies integrity, perfection, leadership, responsibility, and maturity. In opposition, the sun in Cancer calls to our inner world of emotions, nurturing, and dependency. What is coming up between your inner and outer worlds could be testing your strength. This dichotomy is an opportunity to pierce the veil of denial and take responsibility for your choices.
We have a full spectrum of responses available and can learn to artfully move between them, thus mastering ourselves by flowing between our emotions while taking responsibility and crafting life. It’s time to free ourselves from dependencies from other people (where possible), addictions, and stories that keep you tied to the past. Once free from these barriers you can more freely create what you want.
The full moon illuminates our planet. It enlightens emotions, relationships, and patterns that still need our attention and resolution. Strengthen the mind/body/spirit connection and face what is brought to the surface. With the full moon you may see life differently. The focus is on relationships – with your family, co-workers, community, and especially yourself. Now is the time to let go of anything that no longer serves you and heal any rifts that keep you disconnected. Resolving outstanding resentments, anger, shame, and guilt helps shift your perceptions so you see yourself and your world differently.
Allow only loving, supporting relationships into your life, letting go of all others. Surround yourself with situations and people that lift your spirit and encouraging you to reach new heights. Take the time during the Full Moon to assess what areas you still need to resolve!
Create a ritual writing down what’s coming up for you and burning it under the Full Moon – releasing it through the smoke to the heavens. Then recite affirmations to bring in new energy and replace what’s been released.
Affirmations:
I attract loving, supportive relationships
I love and accept myself unconditionally
I move beyond old limitations and now allow myself to express freely and creatively
Use the power of the Full Moon in Capricorn to release and free yourself from old patterns. Do you need help in understanding/resolving you’re specific situation? Contact Jana for a personal session or join our upcoming 3-week teleclass beginning in August 2011 (details coming by next Monday).

Intensity Builds with the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Ascension, Full Moon, Inner Alchemy, Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation
On Wednesday June 15, 2011 at 4:14pm EDT (1:14pm PDT) we the experience the power and grace of the full moon. The moon reflects our underlying emotions and brings them to light, thus magnifying those that need to be resolved and healed. This full moon will be even more intense with the accompanying complete lunar eclipse.
This full moon in the Sagittarius-Gemini axis brings up issues related to the mind, awareness, and judgment. The full moon in Sagittarius brings up aspects of “higher consciousness” such as using our intuitive abilities, innate responses, and expansion into seeing the bigger picture, while the polarity of Gemini focuses on the “lower mind” and brings up a more rational approach. Ultimately a balance between the two is ideal.
This eclipse and full moon is about communication, a sense of adventure (Sagittarius), resolving emotional wounding, and letting go of old beliefs and prejudices. By cleaning out your emotional closet and letting go of the past, you’ll create space for the new adventure that has been building for the past several weeks. Be open to the realm of possibilities over the next several weeks and see what unfolds for you.
Some sort of crisis could shake things up causing you to break out of the old paradigm and bringing new awareness to a situation. Instead of getting caught in victim mode, look at it as a blessing that frees you from the chains that have held you back.
Emotions will be intensified over the next several of days (before and after the full moon) so watch yourself and instead of getting caught up in them take a step back and observe what going on. Keep yourself grounded through meditation, connecting deeply with the center of the earth, or spending time in nature.
The universe is awakening us to a new way of living and moments such as these are the catalyst for great changes within us. Be open and aware of the energy over the next several days and adjust your responses to allow yourself to fully benefit from what it being brought up for you.
Manifest your desires and dreams during the full moon/lunar eclipse by resolving what the moon is reflecting back to you! Let go of your fears and trust the Universe is providing the best possibilities for your healing and evolution. Use the energy of this full moon/lunar eclipse to shift your awareness and open up to new adventures.

Full Moon in Libra 2011
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Ascension, Inner Alchemy, Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation, Transmutation
Sunday, April 17th at 10:44pm EDT (7:44pm PDT) the moon reaches its fullest point. At this time we have the opportunity to gain clarity with ourselves and in our relationships with the full moon in Libra.
The accommodating Libra moon trines self-reliant Aries sun bringing in an explosive opportunity for expansion, growth and accelerating our evolution. To many people, this time may feel like an earthquake as the energy is shaken up. For those who feel the need to control everything, this time may be very disturbing.
At this time it could be easy to get caught in dramas around you. You can circumvent this by letting go of your desire to fix things/people, and recognize the only person you can change or fix is yourself.
The best thing you can do at this time is work on yourself. What emotions, beliefs, and patterns are coming up for you that you need to address at this time? Acknowledge them, let them go, and replace them with what you want to create. Also, find like minded people to be around to support your beliefs, growth and evolution.
To offset any intensity or drama in your life, spend time in nature or find quiet time for yourself. Shaking free from old paradigms may feel uncomfortable, but know that you are constantly supported by your higher-self. Use the power within you to give you the courage to take your necessary steps and embrace the changes being presented to you during the full moon.

Full Moon in Leo
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Ascension, Inner Alchemy, Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation
The moon reaches its peak on February 18, 2011 at 12:35am PDT (3:35am EST). This full moon is filled with the dramatic, fiery sign of Leo. The effects of the full moon may be felt a couple of days before and after the actual apex.
The moon in Leo encourages us to express our gratitude and demonstrate generosity. During the moon in Leo you may feel a sense of completion for the seeds that have been planted over the past several weeks. This is a time for illumination on new ideas and beliefs that have been percolating for a while.
The full moon may bring old emotions and beliefs to the surface, and is the perfect time to release them; opening yourself up to be filled with thoughts and beliefs that may be outside the box. Be patient with yourself as you shift with these changes.

To prepare for the manifesting, write down a list of goals or intentions you want to attract or issues you want to release during the lunar cycle. After the cycle is over, review your old list crossing off goals achieved and file it, then begin a new list for the new cycle. To maintain balance in your life, look at goals on several different levels including financial, spiritual, mental, emotional, and physically.
