The masks we wear to hide from others!

Love & Light Gems!  Sending you all an abundance of love.

There seems to be a lot of talk about masks in the last few weeks. In most public places it is now required to wear a mask to prevent the spread of the virus. As talks around schools reopening in September, there is also a call for the children to wear masks for their safety as well.  There are also many debates as to how safe and how effective masking is, as with most things this year, we will just have to wait and see.

Today we are going to talk about different types of masks, emotional and spiritual masks. The mask that we cannot physically see, but many put on to feel safe or accepted. Some wear the mask to hide from others and worst, even themselves.

Over the course of our lives we have been subconsciously taught to wear masks. As early as our childhood we discovered this, just as many children are being exposed to the physical mask today. As children we mirrored what we saw. If our parents or guardians were extra happy when we were quiet, we began to mask our voices and feelings to receive their happiness as well. If our curiosity seemed to annoy our parents, we started to mask that curious side of us. Whatever the mask(s) we learned to wear as children, often follows us into our adulthood. It is because these masks are invisible at times that we ourselves don’t even remember we are wearing them. They mask years of experiences, situations, emotions and trauma. They mask hidden joys and memories of better days.

The Full Moon in Aquarius is going to require you to remove your mask. Full Moons illuminate what is beneath the surface. Aquarius is the last air sign of the zodiac. It is intellectual, independant and has an unique outlook and perspective. Many say Aquarius is the sign of the future as it is very visionary of matters of the collective and humanity. This Full Moon will shine a bright light on your individual expression. Who are you without the mask?

We are currently in Leo season, the fire sign of self expression. Both of these energies are opposing each other during this full moon cycle. Are you truly expressing your true self?  Have you been hiding behind your mask for acceptance or protection?  Are your true desires in line with what you are seeking?  Are your intentions aligned with what truly matters to you at your core?

Each of us comes to this lifetime with our own unique energy stamp.  By studying our natal charts, we understand that we are so much more than our sun sign. We get clarity on how all our individual energies work together to make up who we are and how we feel. Our unique energy mark is needed in raising the energy of the collective. When we all are living our own truths, falsehoods begin to fall away.

At first it can be scary to remove the mask. What will you be exposing others to?  More importantly what are you exposing yourself to?  We might feel we will no longer be safe, but it is in facing our fears and overcoming them, we create and find a new place a safety where the mask is no longer required. Many of us have outgrown our masks, but we don’t know because we are afraid to face ourselves.  The Full Moon in Aquarius is going to bring light to our darkness, we no longer need to be afraid of the dark.  It is safe here to remove your mask, Take the mask off!
