Embodiment of Your Moon
Today, we're diving into the mystical world of astrology and exploring how you can tap into your body for somatic healing and nervous system regulation by harnessing the power of your Moon sign.
Just like the moon influences the tides, your Moon sign can shed light on your emotional landscape/nervous system/somatic ecosystem and provide a beautiful path towards self-discovery.
If you didn't know this by now, our emotions manifest into our bodies and show up as uncomfortable sensations when we get triggered. And no surprise, our moon sign can tell us how we can best care for ourselves to help with healing this, as it literally represents our emotions and body.
I've been on my somatic healing journey in therapy for the last 6 months. Some wounds I regularly struggle with are: tightness in the belly and constriction in the throat. As a Libra Moon, I've found that integrating "balancing" techniques have been the most effective. No surprise, Libra rules over balance.
Considering that tidbit, I began contemplating on this idea of how our Moon sign is related to the emotional and somatic wounds that show up, and better yet, give us guidance on how we can heal these wounds!
Follow along with me as I share some tips and modalities you can use based upon your moon sign for healing and embodiment.
Aries Moon
Your body needs movement for optimal care. Whether it's by running, shaking, dancing, or something else, integrating a conscious movement ritual as a part of your daily self-care routine is key to your embodiment.
Taurus Moon
Taurus Moon babes, you have a strong connection to nature and all things sensual. Indulging in self-care rituals like bubble baths, cozy nights in, and grounding activities like gardening or hiking are the key to regulating your body.
Gemini Moon
Singing or humming a vibration is the PERFECT somatic healing technique for Gemini Moons. Maybe even purchase a singing bowl and practice toning with it every day as a part of your routine.
Cancer Moon
You need nurturing. How can you give your body the gift of caretaking when it calls out to you? Whether that looks like blankets & tea, a massage, or a weekend long retreat to a hot spring, nurturing is the key to embodiment for you.
Leo Moon
As Leo rules over creativity and play, one way to embodiment will be to channel your emotions and body through art or drama therapy. Painting or acting out your emotions and physical sensations are great tools. Consider a pottery class.
Virgo Moon
How can you give your body acts of service? Through daily breathwork and having consistent routines & rituals, you'll be led to true embodiment.
Libra Moon
How can you bring more balance into your life for your body? Sound healing is the perfect modality to bring into your life on a daily basis. When you're balanced, you're embodied, babe.
Scorpio Moon
Witchy gals! How can you develop deeper intimacy with your body? Conscious sex and meditative exploration in somatic centers are amazing healing tools for you all.
Sagittarius Moon
Your body craves freedom. Ecstatic dance is the perfect healing modality for somatic healing and embodiment for you all. If you're feeling unwell, put on a song and dance for that entire song. Listen closely to how your body wants to move and channel.
Capricorn Moon
A challenging modality that you must work at to continually grow is the perfect tool for embodiment for you all, Capricorn Moons. Lyra, Pole Dancing, or Aerial Silks are all great ideas.
Aquarius Moon
Look for opportunities to practice embodiment in group settings. Healing is unlocked for you when you can practice in a group setting and feel connected to the collective. A dance class, a spin class, a lyra class, literally any modality where you can be amongst your people!
Pisces Moon
Okay Pisces babes, yoga is the absolute best modability you could give yourself to embody every piece of your extremely sensitive, intuitive vessel.
Lastly, I think it's really important to note that we can ALL benefit from every single modality I mentioned. I encourage you to get curious and see how the associated embodiment modalities resonate for you based upon your sun, rising, among other placements.
For example, I'm a Virgo Rising & Gemini Sun. I find that daily breath work and singing makes a HUGE difference in my embodiment.
Use this guide as a tool and take what resonates and leave the rest!
With gratitude,
