The Full Moon Passed… But What Now?

The full moon brings clarity, release, and illumination—but what about the days that follow? That space after the ritual candles are out and the energy begins to settle is what we call the post-shadow phase. It’s a sacred period of reflection, integration, and recalibration.

What Is Post-Shadow Energy?

Post-shadow energy is the subtle emotional and energetic residue left behind after a full moon. Think of it like the echo of a wave that’s just crashed—powerful, yet pulling you inward. It’s often a time when truths revealed during the full moon begin to land more deeply, asking for your attention and gentle action.

Why You Might Feel Off

Even after a powerful release, you may feel:

• Drained or foggy, as if your body is catching up to the energetic shift.

• Emotional or sensitive, especially if deep wounds were triggered.

• Uncertain, as clarity begins to form new decisions or boundaries.

This is normal. The full moon doesn’t just release—it reveals. And revelations can take time to process.

How to Move Through It

This phase is less about doing and more about being. Here are a few ways to care for yourself:

• Journal what’s still lingering emotionally or mentally.

• Take a self-love bath to calm your nervous system.

• Sip on a grounding tea—roots and herbs like dandelion, ginger, or tulsi work beautifully.

• Use your waist beads or crystal jewelry intentionally  —let them remind you of what you’re anchoring into.
