Happy New Moon!
“The January New Moon on the 27-28th is one of the significant “starting energies” to the year ahead and is going to help shift away the cobwebs of 2016.
As you have probably heard by now, 2016 was a year of endings, which means that 2017 is a year of new beginnings. This death and rebirth cycle is playing out in all of our lives in some way or another, and perhaps in the coming weeks you are going to start feeling the “rebirth” occurring.
This rebirth energy won’t fully shift into gear until the Spring Equinox, however the January New Moon in Aquarius is definitely going to start setting the wheels in motion.
Aquarius energy is all about starting fresh and thinking bigger. Aquarius energy is also about finding new meaning to things and thinking outside of the box.
This Aquarius New Moon is a great time to start thinking about things in a new way and perhaps viewing things in a different light.
January is very much a “get your bearings” kind of month, so use this energy to get settled into your life and get back into the swing of things.
Being an Aquarius New Moon, issues surrounding humanity may also be gaining more attention. In fact, issues like feminism and racism have already been hot topics in the media in recent weeks.
It is almost like certain things are being illuminated to us so we can make powerful changes that are going to benefit all humanity.
The most important thing we can do to feel comfortable with this energy is to become the leader of our own lives.
If we truly want to change the world, it starts with ourselves and the energy we put out into the cosmos. If we could all just be responsible for ourselves and the energy we put out into the world, this would be enough to cause a significant shift for the better.
2017 is going to be an amazing and lucky year, so take this opportunity to enjoy the new vibration and the fresh start that this New Moon offers.”

“This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.” ~Toni Morrison

“Mass beliefs in the power of outside authorities are firmly entrenched in your psyche; they are strong and old, and somewhat like a redwood forest they too can be felled very, very quickly, raising many questions about the truth of who you are and why you place your trust outside yourself.” ~Barbara Marciniak

“Art is the Weapon. Your Imagination is the Ammunition. Stay Dirty, and Stay Dangerous. Create and Destroy as you see fit. Embrace your Originality. The Aftermath is Secondary. You can and should do Anything.” ~Frank Lero
“It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one destiny, affects all indirectly.” ~Martin Luther King Jr.

Happy Full Moon :)
“The first Full Moon of the year falls in the watery and intuitive sign of Cancer on January 12th, 2017.
Being the first Full Moon for the year, this Cancer Moon is going to be highlighting part of the journey that we are destined to take in the next 12 months. It is also going to be calling on us to step into our truth and embrace that inner power that we all have inside.
This energy is also amplified due to a Grand Cross formation that is preparing to take shape in the sky on the same night as the Full Moon.
This Grand Cross energy has been building for sometime and is part of a much bigger cycle that is playing out over the course of the next few years.
In fact, watching the planets closely it is almost like they are planning something, it is almost like they are whispering secrets to each other in order to create a revolution.
In order to create a revolution, the darkness has to rise to the surface. The darkness in all of us and in the world has to be brought out into the light for us to see. It is only then that we can realize the truth of what is before us.
2016 forced us to do a lot of processing and clearing, but with this Full Moon and the energy of 2017 we don’t have to work as hard. All we need to do is sit back and watch which direction the Universe wants us to go.
This Full Moon is definitely an interesting one to kick off 2017. It indicates that this year is a time of growth and change. It indicates that this is the year we lay down our roots for the revolution, for the revolution that we want to create in our own lives.
While pressure and tension may be amplified at this time, it is only so we can grow and it is only so we can see what needs to crumble and what needs to stay.
Trust your intuition during this time, allow the energies to wash over you and guide you. Embrace them, because when you do, you will see just how perfectly everything is unfolding.”
