The Art Of Letting Go…
For the Largest and Brightest Super Full Moon of 2025
Every time I sit down to write, I start with, “I really need to be writing more.” But the truth is, the solo moments haven’t been consistent enough for me to have any real practice. When I finally carve them out, when I get still enough to truly connect, then the floodgates open. I remember this isn’t about making space for space’s sake, it’s about how I need to connect to myself and to spirit, ideally everyday.
When I got that sweet moment, it didn’t actually feel so sweet. It felt like I had to cram a lot in just to actually sit and chill. It takes me about thirty minutes to get to a place where I can drop in, and once I did, I saw all this pressure come up for me to figure out what I need to share this week for Substack. Honestly, as I sat and wrote, I felt myself creating distress in my body just trying to come up with something, this unnecessary urgency to do it now so that it’s ready for the full moon. And the takeaway? What nonsense. The pressure that I put on myself, for what? The problems that I create for myself, for what?
It is wild to sit back and witness my own creation of stress and see it all showing up so clearly, and it feels like part of me is cracking… who I am/was, the old programs inside me, they’re all cracking and falling away.
I really feel like I’m rebirthing, more than I ever have before. And yes, I know during Scorpio season this is a normal thing, the death and rebirth, the shedding, but this time it feels different. It feels like my head’s out of the birth canal. I’m not fully birthed yet, but I can see the light!
I can feel how much I’m letting go, all these old pieces, the versions of myself that no longer fit and I’m watching them rise to the surface so they can release. But this time releasing with forgiveness and releasing with love…The same way I used to back in my ceremony days..soft, surrendered, held. It’s really a beautiful experience.
And just to get a little deeper- cause why not, it’s Scorp season- Last week this very thing was brought to my attention by someone who I call my life saver (others might say “therapist”). I told her, “Maybe I’m the problem…?” She stopped me and said, “You’re not the problem. The problem is that you’re making other people’s problems your problem.” Since then, I’ve been watching my whole life shift in this subtle, strange, beautiful way. I’m 42 now, and for 42 years, I’ve been doing this, taking on other people’s weight, their pain, their energy and carrying it in my body as pressure, as stress, as imbalance.
And I can see now how that pressure has created illness, the inflammation, the autoimmune and it’s really eye-opening because now that I see it, and understand it, I can really LET IT GO!
Like, oh yeah, that’s not mine. You’re right.
Those problems aren’t my problem.
Now when people come to me with things, I notice the pattern.
I’m immediately like, I can solve that. It’s instant. I put this pressure on myself to fix, to help, to hold. That’s what I do. I put all this pressure on myself and I keep these endless lists of to-dos, and half of them have nothing to do with what I actually need to do!
It’s wild.
I get messages all the time, people asking for advice, guidance, help and everything in me wants to give. I love to give, but there just isn’t enough energy or time in the day. And still, I put pressure on myself to respond to everyone, to make sure no one is left waiting and to make sure everyone feels seen.
It’s this unnecessary pressure, and it’s so interesting…
And it’s so simple. So obvious. So real.
Lately, I’ve been learning that clarity doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from getting still. From creating small, quiet moments each day to reconnect with myself, to listen, to breathe, to feel spirit moving through the silence.
That alone has been so transformative. I feel like this is the Phoenix rising from the ashes. I’ve been letting go of so much of who I was, my identity in L.A., my identity as a hairstylist, my identity with La Tierra Sagrada. Those versions of me are no longer who I am.
And it doesn’t even matter, because who I am now is someone who wants to feel peace every single day. Someone who wants to share that peace with my family, my clients, my friends, and anyone I come into connection with.
So this Full Moon is really a time to get intentional with letting go, letting go of those parts of you that are ready to be released. I’ve read through so many different insights from people I trust and this truly is the theme of Scorpio season. It’s the theme of November.
It’s about removing the illusion. The Full Moon is illuminating everything. It’s shining a light on what’s real, asking us to get grounded, to get rooted, to step fully into who we are.
It’s a deep, deep time. Scorpio season has always been my favorite. This is what I’m here for. This is my jam, my sustenance, my true essence. I live for this.
It’s amazing to see what’s coming up to be released, and how it’s coupled with this huge Supermoon- the most illuminating moon we’ve had all year.
As we move toward the end of the year, we’re going through Scorpio, moving through the depths, descending into the underworld so we can rise again in Sagittarius, and its expansive, abundant, joy-filled energy…
But first, we have to go through the mucky muck.
We’re closing a chapter.
We’re clearing out everything we’ve accumulated from the year, all the gunk, all the residue.
It’s like we’re in a swamp right now, and it’s time to remove the layers of ourselves to lighten our load to get to the surface again…It might not sound graceful, but that’s the reality. We’re in the dense, thick, swampy water, barely able to move through it, and yet this is the work, because this is a time of illumination. A time of letting go.
We no longer need to carry what isn’t ours. The Full Moon is about release. Whether you follow astrology or not, this rhythm is real. The Moon teaches us to let go.
We cut our hair under the light of the full moon to release what no longer serves us and to release parts of ourselves that we no longer want to be attached to us. That is the true essence of why I cut hair under the full moon.
Whether you cut your hair or not, this is the time to get real. Below, I’ll share some of the ways I use this energy, simple rituals you can do at home, nothing fancy or costly, just grounding practices to help you connect.
Because this Full Moon is coming in hot and strong. And it’s here.
So what will you do today? To make sure that you are really utilizing this energy to release everything that needs to go so that you can be ready for all that is to come with Sagittarius and all that is waiting for you on the other side of 2025.
All my love, always. Thank you for letting me share from the depths of my heart and soul. Thank you for letting me expose myself and be open with you.
It’s such a joy.
Take good care, and happy Full Moon.
