Emporiblog - December Full Moon - 2025

Image
Hello all! Let's see what the last Full Moon of the year has to offer us! ( I'm seeing conflicting dates with some sources saying the 4th, others saying the 5th but more are leaning towards the 4th ) This Full Moon is in Gemini ♊ and is about closing off the end of the year. Communication will be heightened at this point to allow you to get what you need off your chest so you're not carrying anything unnecessary into 2026. Confessions may come thick and fast and not all of them pleasant so brace and prepare yourself. It is also a good time to close chapters on things that no longer serve you. Bite the bullet and go into the New Year lighter... Currently in retrograde, we have: - Neptune  - Uranus  - Jupiter  Crystals Here are some crystals to work with during this full moon: - Moonstone - Selenite - Moss Agate - Clear Quartz - Topaz  - Tourmaline - Diamond  - Blue Calcite - Blue Lace Agate  If you're drawn to any other crystals during this time,...

Hello all! Moon time once again, let's see what we have! ( FULL MOON NOVEMBER 5TH) This Full Moon is in Taurus ♉ and is a super moon. This Moon is about understanding what you can and can't control and subsequently what you can release. Look at yourself and your own sphear closely, look at what's around you. What are you trying to control and why? Then, more importantly, can you actually control it? Trying to control something that you can't will drain your energy in more ways than one. Relinquishing control can be scary but sometimes, it's necessary.. Currently in retrograde, we have: - Mercury  - Neptune  - Saturn  - Pluto  - Uranus  Crystals Here are some Crystals to work with during this Full Moon: - Moonstone - Rose Quartz - Rhodonite - Hematite  - Kunzite - Selenite - Smokey Quartz - Fluorite - Obsidian  - Citrine - Black Tourmaline - Larvakite - Lepidolite - Lapis Lazuli - Emerald - Topaz - Tiger's Eye If you're drawn to any other Cr...

Liminal Spaces.

Liminal Spaces.   One thing that seems to keep recurring during research is the term liminal space. It occurs when looking to work with certain deities, ancestors and others, especially this time of year. So, I went down a rabbit hole, and I hope this post can help answer any questions you may have, because I know that I had plenty! (One thing to note here is that, to me, time and space are pretty much the same thing, and those words will be used interchangeably throughout this post. As such, if I use one word and it does not sit right with you, change it for the other.) So, what is a liminal space? Sacred in Druidic practices, e ssentially, liminality is a point or spot where one thing becomes another, and the feelings that this evokes. It is the space and time between what is and what is yet to become. It is that split second between anticipation and potential in an action.     -     the edges of things     -     moving from one space to a...
