Why this Full Moon Matters So Much…
🌕 Full Moon | Southern Hemisphere | 1 February 2026
As we move into the Full Moon in the Southern Hemisphere, the energy is at a peak. Full moons are always a time of amplification and revelation—emotions rise, inner truths surface, and what has been quietly building finally asks to be acknowledged.
In the Southern Hemisphere, this full moon often works through the body first:
restlessness, heightened emotion, disrupted sleep, or a deep inner knowing that something is ready to change. This is not a time to push forward—it’s a time to see clearly, feel honestly, and consciously release.

🐍 The Ending of the Year of the Snake
We are also standing at the closing of the Year of the Snake, an archetype of shedding, healing, deep introspection, and subtle transformation.
Snake year energy has asked us to:
• Peel back old identities
• Sit with discomfort rather than bypass it
• Heal patterns rooted in the nervous system and unconscious
• Release skins that once protected us but now restrict us
Many people have found the Snake year intense—not loud or fast, but deep, slow, and confronting in a quiet way. If you’re feeling tired, reflective, or aware that you cannot carry certain things forward anymore, that’s Snake energy completing its work.

🐎 The Arrival of the Year of the Horse
As the Year of the Horse begins to stir, the energy shifts dramatically.
Horse is about:
• Movement and forward momentum
• Freedom, expansion, and vitality
• Living in alignment with truth rather than obligation
• Embodiment—moving what you know into lived experience
But Horse energy does not run well when we’re still entangled in the past.
To move with clarity and confidence, we must first let go of what the Snake has revealed is complete.

🌑 Why this Full Moon Matters So Much
This full moon acts as a threshold moment:
• The final release of Snake-year patterns
• A clearing of emotional and energetic residue
• A reorientation toward the freedom and movement of Horse energy
Whatever surfaces now is not a problem—it is a closing ritual.

✨ How The Visionary Woman: Into the Coming Year Supports This Transition
My ½-day Visionary Woman workshop is intentionally designed to support this exact moment of change.
In this guided experience, we:
• Create a safe, grounded container to release Snake-year skins consciously
• Work somatically and energetically to settle the nervous system
• Journey inward to receive insight about what you are ready to move toward
• Clarify direction for the year ahead in alignment with Horse energy—movement with purpose
• Anchor vision into the body, so it can be lived, not just imagined
This isn’t about forcing goals or pushing action.
It’s about clearing the past with respect, so the future can move freely.

🌿 An Invitation
If you are feeling:
• Emotionally full or at capacity
• Ready to release old stories, roles, or obligations
• Called toward more freedom, movement, and authenticity this year
This full moon is inviting you to pause, listen, and choose consciously.
The Visionary Woman: Into the Coming Year
A ½-day workshop to release the old, embody your inner guidance, and step into the next cycle with clarity, grounded confidence, and direction.
✨ Sometimes the most powerful movement forward begins with a sacred pause.
