Full Moon
A micro full flower moon in Scorpio will illuminate the night sky and reveal areas of opportunity for inner transformation. The energy of this moon, reflecting light upon us tonight, is charged with emotional wisdom - an important reminder that our feelings are often guiding us toward the inner work that’s next. When we allow ourselves to sit with and truly feel our emotions, the path forward becomes illuminated. What changes need to be made to experience a greater sense of peace? What honest inner conversations need to take place before we set our course?

Scorpio creates a unique opportunity to bravely and honestly look at aspects of ourselves that we typically keep in the basement of our being. In many ways, this moon is like a flashlight - illuminating what’s been hidden and gently asking us to acknowledge it rather than avoid it. It invites us to sit with what we find, without judgment, and to trust that even the uncomfortable truths carry wisdom. When we’re willing to see clearly, we create space for release, renewal, and a deeper sense of alignment with who we truly are.

It is April in Minnesota, and thankfully we are being visually reminded by the spring awakening that even when things look bleak above the surface, there is always a perfectly timed ripening happening below. Guided by light and conditions, what is forming beneath will emerge and take deeper root.

What has been growing within your heart? And what conditions will be necessary for you to begin bringing this season's knowings, gifts, and dreams to life?

Here at Mend we are in a place of holding, remembering, and investigating what it means that we are all one family, whether or not it feels that way.

Currently, a chorus of birdsong through an open window almost feels as if it is the soundtrack to our own spring awakening….

Just in time for a new moon in Aries.

What does the potency of this moon mean for us?

It nurtures action and a faster pace. The time has come for less hemming and hawing and more doing. Trust that what you have been seeding and cultivating is ready to grow.

The conditions are right for the dreams and plans you’ve been tending to emerge from the liminal space and into manifest form. Know your ability, and use your vulnerability as your superpower. If you wait for perfection, you will never start. And if there’s anything the world needs more of, it’s the remembering that true strength carries the wisdom of compassion.

**********************************************

And as we light the sigil candle at the horse pasture during the new moon, we remember the words shared to us, to share with you:

Spirit horses, Sky, Meenah, and Wiyan, and their ancestors on the land at MEND, are a healing presence for the land and all who interact with them. Their sacred work fosters a deeper relationship to the divine, the self, and nature, and a greater understanding that we are One Family.

The support of this full moon in Leo comes in the form of illuminating what is in authentic alignment within each of us, and how we can express and act from this sacred place.

In a world that feels deeply divided and full of unknowns, it's important to come home to our hearts to remember why we are here in this moment, and what we have to share in the name of love.

You are here on purpose and with purpose-shine your light in the way that only you can.

The energy of today's full moon can help us assess what is draining and what fans the flames. What practices or structure can be put in place to limit that which doesn't serve your energy and to maximize all that aligns you with your gifts and blueprint of your heart?

Full Wolf Moon

According to astrology, full moons should be a time of reflection, when you should take stock of your life and reevaluate everything - particularly relevant when that coincides with a new calendar year.

The Wolf Moon more specifically is about calming and soothing your inner wolf - recognizing destructive behavior patterns, whether inherited or learned, and challenging them for personal growth, as well as to make you a better member of the 'pack'. In many cultures, the Wolf Moon is seen as a time of introspection, transformation and connecting with your instincts. It will reportedly be auspicious for three star signs especially: Aries, Cancer and Capricorn, so good news if that's you. Use this time as a chance to that's you. Use this time as a chance to take stock, and make a list of your goals for the year, as well as what you are unhappy with right now.

Tin Cans + Heartstrings, Winter solstice edition 💛

December Tin Cans + Heartstrings : simplebooklet.com

December 4, we will see our last full moon of the year – the "cold moon." It will also be a supermoon, so if you can catch it as it rises, its perceived size will be a show-stopper.

As we prepare to end this year and begin another, ready ourselves for the holidays, and try to remain in sync with a season that asks us to slow down and nurture ourselves, remember that we can only find as much joy and enjoyment as our inner state will allow. Notice the contrast of the crisp blue winter sky when the land is blanketed with snow; the warmth of holiday lights strung in celebration; ponds being flooded for children to skate; swans swimming in pockets of open water; geese honking as they migrate; a cup of hot tea and its fragrant aroma; the way these long, dark nights are made brighter with each snowfall. Slow down enough to be filled with small joys, wonderment, and gratitude. Fill your heart.

This month we will not host a full moon gathering, as we have holiday performances to attend, but we look forward to gathering on December 21 for the solstice (details to follow next week).

On this night, November 5, 2025, the sky gifts us the year's largest and brightest supermoon—the luminous Full Beaver Moon.

Once a harbinger for beavers preparing for the chill of winter, it now calls upon us to step outside, to feel the profound connection beneath its radiant glow. Let this Super Full Moon in Ta**us energy guide you back into the sanctuary of your own body - slow down and invite stillness into your hurried schedule. Be gently reminded that stability is not found in the external chaos, but within the calm of our breath, the rhythm of our hearts, and our choice to embrace peace over turmoil.

As the brightest supermoon of the year casts its glow, let its essence awaken within us. Know that our embodiment is sacred and that our bodies are vessels of creation. To root deeply into pleasure, presence, and gratitude is to align with the Earth's timeless rhythm.

So, tonight, under this magnificent moon, step outside. Feel the connection, the stillness, and the sacredness of this moment. Let the Full Beaver Moon guide you inwards, to the peace that resides within.
