Circle for Women: Full Moon in Aquarius and the Shadow King

Full Moon in Aquarius: Gather like you mean it

You are warmly invited to gather under the luminous Full Moon in Aquarius — a cosmic moment that celebrates the courage to be different, the power of community, and the freedom to be wholly yourself.

This full moon, known for its cool clarity and progressive spirit, illuminates the tension between the needs of the individual and the collective. It's a potent time to host a gathering, share space with like-minded souls, or join in ritual that reminds you that connection doesn’t have to follow convention — in fact, this lunation encourages you to break from the norm and redefine what support, care, and collaboration can look like.

For Reflection:

On a personal level, this Aquarius moon is a mirror reflecting the breakthroughs you've made in the past six months — the inner revolutions, the daring choices, and the quiet rebellions that have brought you closer to your authentic self. Celebrate your willingness to push against the grain, challenge the status quo, and explore new ways of being.

The Shadow King Within Us

Healing the Unseen Masculine Archetype

On this night, we are also invited to meet an archetype that often hides in plain sight: The Shadow King.

Inspired by Sidra Stone’s groundbreaking work in The Shadow King: The Invisible Force That Holds Women Back, this inner figure — a protector turned oppressor — subtly influenced our choices, silenced our voice, and distanced us from our truth. This archetype exists not only within women, but across all genders and within the collective field, shaping how power, control, and self-worth are expressed.

For Reflection:

Are you tired of performing a role that no longer fits? Have you lost contact with your “why”? The Shadow King often emerges when we’ve outgrown a persona or internal structure but haven’t yet reclaimed our sovereignty.

Together in sacred circle, under the radical clarity of the Aquarius Moon, we’ll create space to:

• Name and witness the Shadow King within ourselves

• Release outdated roles that have kept us small, silent, or overly responsible

• Call in new patterns of leadership, vision, and alignment — rooted in love, not fear

Please bring:

• A journal and pen

• A cushion to sit on the ground (chairs also available if preferred)

• Something meaningful to place in the circle (e.g. crystal, flower, small symbol)

• An open heart

No previous experience is required. Come exactly as you are.
