One thing I forgot to mention is this is also about validation, and how we show up wearing a mask to receive validation. We can check and see where we are being less authentic, refusing to show up as our true selves for fear of rejection (to our detriment). I myself, in recently creating the two new sections for Healing with the Occult (Nutrition and Self-expression), which are drastically different than what I’ve been sharing so far, feel I am reexamining how I present as darkness/goth vibes, but also wanting to unveil my practical side, because I have strengths in this too to share to help others. This Full moon is asking us to reconcile parts of ourselves - the one no one sees, maybe the one we’re afraid to show out of fear of nonacceptance. Find a middle ground - you are a whole person. Example: If we suffer an emotional crisis, we can be honest about that and take time off from work. No more performing, performative identities are fading now. You are enough. Your worth is not tied to some performance, it’s innately you.
