Welcome to your Full Moon Ritual. Take time here to read through the ritual. Then move through each section in your own time. The energy of the full moon hangs around for roughly a day either side, so try and practice close to the time where her energy peaks! Embrace this and enjoy! Use the comments space for any shares!
All the firsts
the first full moon of the new year.
the first of two Cancer full moons this traditional year
the first of full moon of Seasons of You
the first full moon after the Winter Solstice
Apart from celebrating each full moon, I hope this time also becomes space for you to pause, reflect, have self-care time and just be. Creating sacred, protected time for you. I’ll be sharing a post on creating your ritual space in the coming weeks.
Every full moon invites us to complete and release. The light of the full moon illuminates all of you. A time to celebrate, and also see where things didn’t quite go to plan.
Cancer is the sign of emotions, home, protection and nurturing. This moon is one that helps you lean into and face your vulnerabilities in order to achieve your goals.
Create your space
Light a candle, create a cozy, safe place. Make your space feel like a hug, just a really inviting place to be.
Check in with yourself
Place one hand on your heart, one hand on your tummy and ask yourself “how am I feeling today?”
Reflections
🌕 Reflect on each month of the year gone. What was learnt and achieved? Look back with self-compassion. This is a moon where emotions may be heightened so tread lightly.
🌕 List the changes you would like to make. Avoid the temptation of ‘resolutions’! Then as the moon wanes (the two weeks-ish until the new moon) work to release what gets in your way of achieving these changes, goals, dreams.
Journal Prompt

Receive

See you for our Seasons of You Circle on Wednesday 14th January at 7.30pm. Here is the link – Circle Gathering Link
Reflections – so good to think about where I was a year ago and what went well and not so well last year.
Changes – I am a fan of no resolutions, but instead just had some more thoughts on how to develop on progress made last year.
💙 love this Annabel 💙 Thank you for sharing.
So here is more on the Pentogram from a mathematical perspective! A pentagram is like a little doorway into the golden ratio. When its lines cross, they divide each other in that special proportion completely naturally, as if the shape can’t help revealing a bit of hidden harmony. Even the smaller stars tucked inside it shrink by the same ratio, giving the whole figure a kind of mathematical rhythm. It’s a reminder that something as simple as a doodled star can connect you to patterns that appear in nature, art and even the structure of galaxies. The golden ratio often feels like a quiet thread running through both the natural world and human design, giving each a sense of balance that people instinctively find pleasing.
In nature, many growth patterns follow proportions close to the golden ratio. Spirals in shells and flowers often expand in a way that reflects this ratio, because it allows efficient packing and steady, natural growth. Sunflower seed heads, for example, arrange themselves in spirals that approximate the golden ratio, helping the plant fit as many seeds as possible into a small space. Even large‑scale structures such as hurricanes and some galaxies show spiralling forms that echo this same patternsciencenewstoday.org.
Architecture has long borrowed this idea of harmonious proportion. Buildings from ancient temples to modern designs have used the golden ratio to create façades and spaces that feel balanced and naturally appealing. The Parthenon is one of the most famous examples, where its proportions are often linked to this ratio, and many contemporary architects still use it to guide layouts, window placements and overall form because it creates a sense of visual calm and order.
What makes the golden ratio so compelling is that it bridges the organic and the constructed. Nature uses it because it works; architects use it because it feels right. It’s a rare meeting point where mathematics, beauty and practicality all align.
