But if you feel out of control of your mood—or even a little crazy—right around the full moon, you’re not alone. If you’re hyper-sensitive at the full moon, you can make some easy mindset adjustments to get off the lunar roller coaster and steady out your emotions during this time. Because we are often so good at suppressing how we really feel, when the full moon lights up our hidden emotional world, those who are hyper-sensitive can have a tendency to get taken for a wild lunar ride. If you’re feeling overwhelmed at the intensity of the full moon, notice whether you are blaming something external rather than owning your natural emotional intensity (this may be a pattern for you). The way to understand your own your feelings is, first, to notice them. Before long, if you’re sensitive to the moon, you’ll start to see your own patterns. You’ll start to understand how you feel each full moon, you’ll be able to predict how you’ll be at the next one, and you’ll be able to plan your life and work accordingly. And after awhile, you will start to feel how the full moon just reflects and heightens your own emotional world (as above, so below). Lunar tracking means you’ll learn your own rhythm and know whether you want to crawl under the restorative blankets at the full moon, schedule a wild night on the dance floor, or stay up all night allowing your creative juices to flow. My experience in teaching lunar tracking has taught me that there’s no one recipe for how we react to the moon. We’re all different. But once you claim this knowledge, nobody can take it away from you.
