Why This Week's Astrology Might Stir Up Old Feelings | S2 EP 172

This week on the Mainly Moonology podcast, we’re exploring the rare and symbolic Blue Full Moon and why it may be arriving at exactly the right time to release emotional baggage, old hurts and lingering energetic ties.This Blue Full Moon is also a Micro Moon, making it feel a little more distant, reflective and quietly powerful. Under astrology that asks us to do some real inner work, we explore a deeper understanding of forgiveness through an ancient Aramaic word from the Lord’s Prayer: WASHBOQLIN.Rather than forgiveness meaning “what happened was okay,” this ancient teaching points us toward something far more liberating: release.In this episode, Yasmin explores:🌕 What makes a Blue Full Moon special and why this one feels deeply symbolic🌕 The astrology of the week, including Venus square Saturn, Mercury in Cancer, Sun sextile Saturn and Mercury square Saturn🌕 Why Venus square Saturn may bring emotional truths, disappointment or relationship lessons into focus🌕 The meaning of the ancient Aramaic word WASHBOQLIN and how it reframes forgiveness🌕 Why forgiveness can be about releasing the energetic debt rather than excusing behaviour🌕 A karmic perspective on emotional patterns, repetition and release🌕 How to stop giving tomorrow’s energy to yesterday’s wound🌕 A simple Blue Full Moon forgiveness ritual using water, intention and release🌕 A powerful Full Moon affirmation:I release the debt. I keep the lesson. I call my energy home.If you’ve been carrying grief, resentment, disappointment or emotional heaviness, this episode offers a grounded spiritual practice for moving forward under the light of this rare Blue Full Moon.✨ Join Yasmin inside the Mainly Moonology Membership for deeper lunar teachings, New Moon and Full Moon practices, meditations and manifesting support.Visit: mainlymoonologymembership.com

This week's astrology is genuinely intense, and in this episode I'll walk you through exactly why you might be feeling it.I cover five distinct cosmic energies shaping the week of May 22-28 and gives you a clear framework for moving through them rather than getting stuck in them.If things already feel a bit wobbly or like something old has quietly resurfaced, this episode will help you make sense of it.IN THIS EPISODE:• Venus square Neptune (May 22): why things feel blurry or deflating right now, and why your perception may be temporarily distorted• Sun conjunct Uranus (May 22): the sudden shifts and wake-up calls arriving this week, and how to stay curious rather than catastrophising• Mercury sextile Saturn (May 22): the grounding, stabilising energy that helps you slow down, think clearly, and have the conversations that matter• Mars square Pluto (May 26): why old anger and deep fears may surface this week, and how to feel them without being consumed by them• Sun trine Pluto (end of week): the breakthrough energy that closes out the week and what it reveals about how far you have actually comeKEY TAKEAWAYS:• Feelings of deflation or confusion this week are not the full picture. Neptune distorts perception temporarily, so hold off on big decisions until the fog lifts• When something shifts suddenly, stay curious. Ask yourself what this might be making space for• Under a waxing moon, the invitation is always forward motion. If old feelings surface under Mars square Pluto, notice them, name them, and keep moving• The wobble is not the end. This week's astrology ends in a real breakthrough• You may find yourself handling something this week that would have floored you a year ago. That is Pluto showing you your own growthThis week, I'll also be in the USA for my once-a-year weekend retreat under the Blue Full Moon, May 29-31 at the Omega Institute, Rhinebeck, New York.

Yes, it's a bit (a lot) war-like and yes it's kind of a worry to have this once-e-very-two-years transit taking place at a time when all the world leaders are sabre-rattling ... but what else can it mean and is there the chance of a positive spin?To get a copy of my updated book Moonology and all the freebies go to www.moonologybook.com
