The 13° Portal: A Rare Five-Full-Moon Initiation

A rare celestial pattern is unfolding over the next months, building up to a moment of karmic purification during the total lunar eclipse in March 2026:

5 Full Moons in a row happening at 13°:

• 5 November 2025 Taurus

• 5 December 2025 Gemini

• 3 January 2026 Cancer

• 2 February 2026 Leo

• 3 March 2026 Virgo + Total Lunar Eclipse

When the universe repeats a pattern 5 times, we'd better pay attention, because this five full moon sequence is a multi-layer initiation, a portal of purification, an invitation for deep reprogramming of our body, mind and soul.

The Meaning of 13

• The archetypal energy of death, rebirth and transformation

• 13 moon cycles in the solar year

• The ancient feminine wisdom of nature and its cycles

• The Goddess that was long before there was God

• The number of the witch, the healer, the priestess, the midwife

The 13th degree in Astrology

Each sign has 30 degrees. The 13th degree sits in the second decan of each sign: the realm where the sign’s core essence is expressed in a more personal, conscious and grounded way. 

It’s the point where we move from simply exploring and understanding a sign’s energy to integrating and fully embodying it.

5 Full Moons in a row at 13 degrees take us on a full journey through all elements, to transition to a higher level of consciousness by releasing what is no longer aligned with our highest good:

From Earth (Taurus) to Air (Gemini) to Water (Cancer) to Fire (Leo) and back to Earth (Virgo).

The 5 Full Moon Initiation Sequence

1. THE BODY

   Taurus Full Moon - 5 November 2025

The journey begins in the body. Taurus, the first Earth sign, asks the most fundamental questions: 

• What do I value? 

• What makes me feel safe and nourished? 

• Where do I find stability in the physical world?

• What am I ready to release?

This full moon is about releasing anything but the truth you feel in your bones. It calls you to simplify, to reconnect with nature, and to verify your relationship with money, food, and comfort. It is the solid ground from which the entire journey will unfold. 

2. THE MIND

   Gemini Full Moon - 5 December 2025

Once we have found our physical anchor and clarified what we truly value, the Gemini Full Moon asks us to declutter our mental field by asking:

• Does my internal narrative match the new stability I’ve built in Taurus?

• Which part of my story wants to be rewritten?

• Which old belief systems are keeping me small?

• What am I ready to release?

When we give ourselves permission to change our mind, expand our knowledge and learn, this moon brings flashes of insight, alternative viewpoints, and a compelling need to express what has been unspoken for too long. Let it out.

3. THE EMOTIONS

   Cancer Full Moon - 3 January 2026

The journey moves from the head to the heart. What we understood and learned mentally now wants to be felt in its entirety. The Moon is at home and therefore extra strong in the emotional realm of Cancer, bringing up subconscious patterns, memories, and unmet needs to heal them with tenderness. Ask yourself:

• What must I acknowledge and feel to be truly nourished at a soul level?

• What does home mean to me?

• What am I ready to release?

4. THE ACTION

   Leo Full Moon - 2 February 2026

   
   

By motherly holding our own emotional vulnerabilities, we discover a new strength within. This emotional fuel is exactly what we need to step into our true power. 

This is the moment of creative courage and heart-centered action. After all the inner work of the previous moons, Leo demands fiery expression and visibility. Because Fortune favours the bold. The Leo Full Moon wants you to ask: 

• Which part of me wants to be seen and how can I share it with the world?

• What would I do if I could not fail?

• What makes my heart sing?

• What am I ready to release?

This has nothing to do with ego. It’s about the joy of authentic self-expression. It’s the spark that compels you to create, to lead, to love more boldly, and to live from the unapologetic truth of your heart.

5. THE PURIFICATION

   Virgo Full Moon & Total Lunar Eclipse - 3 March 2026

After the bold, ecstatic expression of Leo, the experience wants to be grounded. It wants to be sorted, refined, and analyzed, to make it useful and of service for the greater good.

The 13° portal culminates with a total lunar eclipse in the second Earth sign, Virgo. Eclipses are cosmic course corrections, where all we have to do is surrender to where the universe is nudging us. In meticulous Virgo, its purpose is profound purification and integration.

So if you have done the work, trust that the universe will take care of the rest. Trust that the Virgo Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse will purge you from all that’s not aligned with this new version of yourself, in this grand finale of our Five-Moon journey of 13 degrees, so you can step into your highest timeline. A timeline of purpose, service and health. A timeline where body, mind, emotions, and action are aligned with your highest good and the highest good of all.

A Ritual for the 13° Portal

If all this resonates with you and you feel the call to work with the transformative energy of this 5 Full Moon Initiation, let the following ritual be your sacred container through the entire cycle.

May it guide you with a gentle structure for reflection and release, while mirroring the elemental progression within and without, above and below. And so it is.

You will need:

• 5 candles, one for each sign:

  • Green (Taurus)

  • Yellow (Gemini)

  • Blue (Cancer)

  • Red (Leo)

  • White (Virgo)

• Paper and pen

• A safe bowl or cauldron for burning on the eclipse

How to work with each Full Moon:

• Light the candle corresponding to the current Full Moon. 

• Connect with the element of that sign and what it represents in this ritual: 

  • Taurus: Earth - The Body 

  • Gemini: Air - The Mind

  • Cancer: Water - The Emotions

  • Leo: Fire - The Action

• Journal with the writing prompts for that Full Moon. 

• Blow out the candle, fold the paper and keep it underneath the candle until the eclipse. Don’t open or read the paper once you put it under the candle - you wrote down what you want to release, now trust and let it happen.

On the Full Moon & Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo, 3 March 2026:

This is your ceremony of completion. 

• Prepare a blank piece of paper

• Put up the white Virgo candle and place the 4 already used ones around it, creating a circle of elemental energy. Light all 5 candles.

• One by one, take each paper and burn it in the flame of its matching candle. As the papers turn to ash, say THANK YOU, IT IS DONE. 

• When all 4 papers are burned, take the blank paper and write: 

  “May the fire of purification burn away everything else that is not aligned with my highest good and the highest good of all, as I step into my highest timeline now. Thank you.” 

• Burn this paper in the flame of the white candle in the middle.

• Take deep breaths into your heartspace and feel how all the energetic room you created through cleansing and releasing is being filled with unconditional love, pouring from your heart.

• Say “THANK YOU. IT IS DONE. IT IS DONE. IT IS DONE.” to close the ceremony.

Closing Reflections:

This 13° portal is a slow revelation rather than a quick fix. It mirrors the collective energy of transformation, death & rebirth that we are all dealing with at the moment, and I trust that it unfolds in the most magical way for all of us, so that we can walk this path more consciously, with more integrity and in our full truth.

With Love,

Sissi
