Something shifts when you realise the ending is not proof you failed, it is proof you are moving. I’m leaning into the May 31 full blue moon in Sagittarius as a rare pause between chapters, a moment to release what has run its course and to step into what is already trying to begin. If you’re not into astrology, stay with me anyway, because the heart of this conversation is about rhythms, awareness, and the very real cost of dragging old stories into a new season.

We talk about why Sagittarius energy is linked to truth, freedom, and expansion, and why radical honesty is the first step to any real reset. I ask the hard questions: what belief about yourself is no longer true, what story are you repeating out of habit, and what vision have you let collect dust. I also bring in Isaiah 43:19 as a word for the season, especially if you feel like you’re in limbo. Sometimes we miss the new beginning because we’re still grieving the ending, and the invitation is to perceive what is already forming in the wilderness.

Then we get practical with five holistic tools you can use right away. If you’ve been waiting to feel “ready”, this is your reminder that becoming is happening now.

If this resonates, subscribe, share it with someone who needs a reset, and leave a review so more souls can find the support they’ve been looking for. What are you releasing, and what are you ready to call in next?

Closing One Chapter With Intention

SPEAKER_00

So, in a nutshell, before closing this chapter, we are being asked to let what this season revealed reshape our meaning and reorient our perspective, letting it prepare us for the story awaiting on the other side. That is what this full moon on May 31st is about. Closing this chapter with intention and opening the next one with power, purpose, and intention. Welcome back to the space where we navigate the book of life, the transitions, the pivots, the plot twists, and the lessons each chapter brings. Every episode is devoted to inspiring, empowering, encouraging, and guiding you to consciously write and reflect on the chapters of your soul's unique journey.

Why The May 31 Moon Matters

SPEAKER_00

Today's episode is one that I have been feeling deeply in my spirit. We are talking about resetting, realigning, and rising. I had actually planned to resume this podcast in June, but I felt that this particular topic was fitting as we are currently in the energy of one of the most powerful and rare moons of the year. Sunday, May 31st brings us a full blue moon in Sagittarius. And if you happen to be listening to this after the 31st, know that the broader energetic window spans roughly about 72 hours after the exact date of the event. But you can definitely still complete any shadow work within the week of the full moon. Now, if you're listening to this and you think this is just a woo-woo astrology talk, I want you to stay with me for a second. Because whether or not you believe in astrology, or whether or not you pay attention to the planetary alignments and all of that fun stuff, I would like to share with you one of my beliefs. And I'm not here to impose, I'm just sharing. And of course, everyone is entitled to believe what feels aligned with their soul. I believe that God wove rhythms into this universe for a reason. The seasons of our lives shift, and the tides respond all for a reason. And through all these shifts, something deep within us, something ancient and wise, responds as well. So today we set the intention to release, reset, realign, and we rise.

Blue Moon Meaning And Sagittarius Truth

SPEAKER_00

Let's start by talking a bit about what's actually happening in the sky, because this isn't just any full moon. A blue moon is the second full moon in a single calendar month. And it only happens every few years. And I believe if I'm correct, the next one is in 2028. Maybe you've also heard the saying once in the blue moon. And if you've ever wondered where that came from, here's your answer. So right there, the universe is already saying to us, this moment is rare, and this is a time to pay close attention to your surroundings, the world, and your life events, and most importantly, your energy. This full blue moon rises in the sign of Sagittarius. This is the sign of expansion, truth, freedom, adventure, and the pursuit of meaning. Sagittarius' energy is fire. It's the archer drawing back his bow, locking in on his target, and releasing with full faith that the arrow will land exactly where it needs to. This lumination is a blazing beacon of truth, calling us to look at the gap between the life we've been living and the life we know we were made for. It's asking the hard question: what have you been believing about yourself that is no longer true? What story have you been telling that needs to be released? This full moon is also described as a rare moment of heightened emotions, major realizations, and breakthroughs that feel impossible to ignore. I want you to think of it like your inner voice, the one that you've been silencing, suddenly turning up the volume, and we're talking full surround sound. But here's what I love the most. This full moon closes the sacred portal that was the month of May. May was a month full of awakening, opening, and transformation. So before we cross into June, into this whole new territory, the energy of this moon is asking us to integrate everything we've learned so far on our soul's journey, to let it become wisdom and to let it prepare us for what's coming next. So, in a nutshell, before closing this chapter, we are being asked to let what this season revealed reshape our meaning and reorient our perspective, letting it prepare us for the story awaiting on the other side. That is what this full moon on May 31st is about. Closing this chapter with intention and opening the next one with power, purpose, and intention.

The New Thing You Might Miss

SPEAKER_00

Since this full moon happens to be falling on a Sunday, I want to share with you a word for the season. Isaiah 43, verse 19. See, I am doing a new thing. Now it springs up. Do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. He says, I am doing a new thing. He is talking in present tense, as in right now. If you feel like right now you are in between chapters and kind of in limbo, I want to encourage and remind you that you are not waiting for your breakthrough. You are in the middle of it. The new thing is already springing up. But in this scripture, God asks us the most important question: Do you not perceive it? Sometimes we miss the new beginning because we're still grieving the ending. We're so focused on what we lost, what didn't work out, or who we were, to the point that we can't see the stream that's already forming in the wilderness. This moon is an invitation to perceive it, to open your eyes to what's already moving on your behalf and in your favor. To trust that the ending you're standing in is not the end of your story. It's the turning of the page.

Four Calls: Honesty, Release, Vision, Space

SPEAKER_00

So, what exactly is this moon actually asking of us? Here's what I feel in my spirit, and what the energy of this Sagittarius blue moon is calling for. The first thing is radical honesty with yourself. Sagittarius is the sign of truth. No more half-truths, no more telling yourself it's fine when it's not. This moon is asking you to sit in complete honesty about your relationships, your habits, your dreams, and also your grief. What have you been pretending isn't hurting you? What have you been masking as I'm okay when really you're exhausted? You need to know and accept that the truth will not break you, but instead it will free you. The second thing is releasing beliefs and practices that have kept you playing small. This moon is a moon of expansion. And most times, expansion requires releasing what's constricting you. So we're talking about the limiting beliefs. The I'm not ready, the who am I to want more. And also the this is how things are for me. Those beliefs are not facts, they are just old stories written by old versions of you who were surviving. And you are not that person anymore. So you need to let them go with love and appreciation for all the lessons they taught you. The third thing is reclaiming your vision. Sagittarius is the archer, and the archer needs a target. This moon is asking you, what are you aiming for? What is the vision for your life that you've let collect dust? This is the perfect time for you to dig for your bow and arrow and pull it back out. Dust it off, and dream again, believe again, hope again. Not the safe, logical, quote unquote, realistic, ego-centered version, but the real one that's fully connected to the mind, body, and soul. The one that makes your heart race a little bit. Aim right there. The fourth thing is making space for the new. Full moons generally mark endings and beginnings. Something is completing its cycle in your life right now, and I'm sure many people can feel it. It could be a season that you've outgrown, a relationship, or a version of yourself that just no longer resonates. Honor it, thank it, and then release it with grace. Because here's the thing: you can't receive the new while your arms are still full of the old.

Five Practices To Work With It

SPEAKER_00

Now, let's get practical because I'm not just here to inspire you. I want to give you tools that you can actually use in your life and also to get in alignment with the energy of this full moon. Here are five holistic ways to work with this full blue moon. The first thing is a full moon release ritual, which is basically writing and releasing any energy that feels stuck. So you need to grab a piece of paper and write down everything you're releasing. Not typing, but literally handwriting. There is something sacred about the physical act. Write it all down. I'm talking about the fear, the grief, the habit, the relationship pattern, the belief. And then either shred it or tear it up. The act of physically releasing the paper sends a signal to the universe and your nervous system that says, I am letting this go. It is done. The second thing is body movement. Let it all flow through you. Sagittarius rules the hips, the body's center of forward movement and adventure. So on May 31st, it is important that you move your body. Put on a little music that opens something in you and just move your body. Dance in your living room, do some yoga or some hip circles, or maybe just a simple stretch outside, or even better, a walk outside and look at the moon. Movement releases stuck energy from your body in a way that thinking never can. And the thing is, you don't have to have the breakthrough in your mind. Sometimes your body leads the way. The third thing is intention setting. After you release all the stuck energy, it's time for you to aim for your target. Write your intentions for this next chapter. Not resolutions or goals, intentions. How do you want to feel? Who do you want to become? What do you want to call in? Be very specific. Be bold about it. Then read them out loud. There is so much power in your spoken word. Proverbs 18, verse 21 says, Death and life are in the power of the tongue. So you need to speak life over your next chapter. The fourth thing is full moon journaling. I have here three questions that you can sit quietly with your journal and answer. Now you need to answer these as honestly as possible. So here are the questions. What has this season taught me that I'm ready to carry forward as wisdom? What am I finally ready to release without guilt, without grief? Just release. And the third question is: what does the person I'm becoming need me to believe about myself right now? These three questions will unlock something. Just make sure you give yourself enough time. Don't rush the answers and be sure to create moments of stillness because most of our answers come to us when we are fully present. The fifth and final thing is to create a sacred moment just for you and God. So before you sleep, find a quiet moment. Put your hand on your heart and just sit, meditate, and ask God what he wants this next chapter to look like for you. And if what you're asking for is in alignment with his plan and will. And then just listen. The answer might come as a feeling, a memory, a word, a scripture, or simply a deep exhale. But it will come. Remember, he's doing a new thing. So just surrender and let him show you what that new thing is. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you, declares the Lord, and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile. Jeremiah 29, verses 11 to 14. That right there is for you. Not the version of you who has everything figured out. Not the version of you who has healed from every wound and achieved every goal. The you right now in the middle of the process, in the middle of becoming. God has plans to prosper you and to give you a hope and a future. So you can hold your head up high, smile,

Decide To Rise And Turn The Page

SPEAKER_00

and be at peace in hopes of what's coming because you know who holds your future. I want to close this episode by giving you something to feel. I don't want to leave you just informed, but alive and excited because the truth is this is not the end of your story. This is the plot twist in your story that changes everything. The season you're releasing, it served you, it grew you, it taught you, and it was necessary. So take the time to honor it. But it is done now. And what's coming? What God has been preparing in the wilderness while you were healing, while you were learning, and while you were becoming, it is beyond what you've been allowing yourself to imagine. So, under this full blue moon, this rare once-in-a-years moment, I want you to make a decision. Not a wish, a decision. Decide that you are done staying stuck. Decide that you will trust the process. Even when you can't see the outcome. Decide that the version of you you were created to be is not a dream for someday. You are becoming right now. And this full moon is here to show you that. It's time to rise and become. Happy full blue moon. Always remember that you are never stuck. You are simply between chapters, and you're allowed to turn the page because you get to decide what's written next, how your story ends. And the best part is the pen is already in your hands. Take care of yourself, take time for yourself, and be kind to your soul.
