Jo Avalon’s Full Moon Guidance – 4 Sep 2026
Hello from Lake Macquarie💙,
Today, I pulled three cards from Serene Conneeley’s The Light in the Darkness Oracle to share with you. Take a moment to notice which one feels like the message you need right now – left, middle or right – and then scroll down to receive your guidance for this moon phase.
Friday 4 September is a Third Quarter Moon in Gemini. Gemini energy is characterised by duality, adaptability and curiosity. Third Quarter Moon energy focuses on completion, forgiveness and transformation. Take this time to reflect on your intention and assess the actions and decisions you have taken in support of it. You could play around with different ways to shift the energy around so you can find that last bit of oomph to send it through to completion.
You could ask yourself: Were my actions in alignment with my intention? What habits can I change from now on? How can I acknowledge the completion of my goal?
Now, here are your light-heart messages.
Left Card: 18. Fail Forward – Don’t allow your fear of failure to hold you back. Failing forward is still a step towards my goal.
The energy here invites you to see any so-called failures as foundations for success. Each step you take informs your next. If you don’t take your first step, you won’t be able to experience, learn and improve with your next step. Zoom out to see all of your experiences as part of the bigger journey of Life; allow them to inspire new methods, ideas and paths rather than things to regret. You may well find that others applaud your courage to have a go, and be inspired to do the same themselves. Even if they don’t, what matters is that you continue to build character, resilience and tenacity – all bedrocks of lasting success.
Middle Card: 3. The Gift of Yes – Take a chance, summon your strength and say Yes to something you’ve been longing to experience.
The energy here encourages you to be brave and agree to do the thing you fear. Take the risk. Follow your curiosity. Push yourself out of your comfort zone. Feel yourself soar. Don’t hide your capabilities any longer. Changing your automatic no to a Yes will shift you to a growth mindset, broaden your mind and increase your possibilities and potential. As you open up to new opportunities, you will flourish and bloom.
Right Card: 39. The Ties That Bind – It’s time to break the chains of dependence and set some clear boundaries.
The energy here encourages you to change your role of always being available to others. When others become dependent on you to help and make decisions for them, they do not learn to grow and develop responsibility for themselves. If you’re always available to help others, it might be time to ask yourself what you think your motivation is and whether it is healthy or sustainable. Choose friends who care as much about you as you do about them. In turn, your energy will be available for you to focus on your hopes and dreams.
All Three Cards:
The energy of all three cards invites you to see every experience – wins, missteps, risks, and relationships – as part of your larger journey of growth. Each step teaches you something vital, encouraging you to be brave, say yes to what scares you, and stretch beyond your comfort zone so your potential can expand. At the same time, you’re asked to reconsider patterns of over‑availability, allowing others to grow while reclaiming your own time, dreams, and vitality. As you honour your courage, embrace new opportunities, and set healthier boundaries, you build resilience, confidence, and a life shaped by authentic, self‑directed success.
I hope you’ve found today’s guidance inspiring. If you’d like to support the writing of these Oracle by the Moon posts, you’re welcome to buy me a coffee at the link below.
