Happy New Moon!
“The March New Moon falls on the 27-28th, in the fiery sign of Aries. As the first New Moon of the astrological year, this is a potent time for new beginnings and for upgrading the parts of your life that no longer serve you.
All New Moons represent new beginnings to some degree, however the Aries New Moon is definitely the strongest and most powerful for setting intentions and starting fresh.
As the first sign in the zodiac, Aries energy represents leadership, new ideas and taking action. Being a fire sign, Aries is all about making plans, pushing forward and charting a new course.
This is one of the most potent times of the year to think about what you want to be manifesting and creating for the months ahead. It is also the perfect time to think about expanding and enhancing your dreams and wishes.
The old ways of doing things are no longer going to serve you, so be bold and brave and find ways to revolutionize your life. Perhaps take up a new hobby, start a new exercise regime, or go after the job that you have always wanted- whatever you do, know that the time to start is now.
The Universe is only going to be giving you this fiery, fresh start energy for a few weeks, so make the most of it by setting intentions and finding ways to upgrade and update your life.
Leading up to the New Moon, the Universe is definitely going to be guiding you to ditch the old and embrace the new and the more open minded you can be, the easier it will be for you to transform your life.
In order to make positive changes in your life, you need to have a certain level of self-awareness. You need to have a certain understanding of what is working for you and what is bringing you down in life.
If you want change, if you want to create something new, if you want a fresh new start, this New Moon is there to support and help you every step of the way. All you need to do is set the intention and take that first step forward, everything else will fall into place after that.”

“Let’s toast. Every rung we’ve climbed on Evolution’s ladder. Whisper, “I love you! I love you!” To the whole mad world. Let’s stop reading about God— We will never understand Her. Jump to your feet, wave your fists, Threaten and warn the whole Universe That your heart can no longer live Without real love!” ~Hafiz

Happy Spring Equinox!
“On this day in the Northern Hemisphere, we are in perfect balance between light and dark. Let us pray loving attention to the fragile sprouts of inner beauty which have survived the long dark of hibernation, despite all odds, to push up through the soil into the light. Let us honor the faith it has taken to believe in the invisible, upper world, where soon we will blossom into sprawling gardens overflowing with fruit. Let us hold our painful hearts with gentle hands today. Let us express our gratitude to the light that can only be found in the dark. Let us ask our vulnerability to shine radiantly with knowing that we are unfolding right on time.”

Happy Full Moon!
“The March 12th Full Moon falls in the earthy sign of Virgo. As the energy of this Full Moon lingers for the next two weeks, we are all going to enter into a time of self-healing.
Virgo is typically the sign associated with thinking. Deep thinking. Over thinking. Virgo thinking is often self-critical, however when channelled in the right way, Virgo thinking can be extremely enlightening.
Virgo energy is warrior energy. It represents strength and inner power. Virgo doesn’t need a man by her side, she has the power and strength to rise up alone.
Virgo comes into her strength by tapping into that inner warrior that lives inside of the heart.
We all have Virgo energy inside of us, we all have Virgo somewhere in our natal astrology chart, so chances are we are all going to feel the feminine power and strength arising from this Full Moon.
It is time to enter into warrior mode. Gone are the days of feeling sorry for yourself or being the victim. Gone are the days of getting irritated by every challenge or setback that life has brought you so far. Gone are the days of resisting what the Universe is trying to show you.
It is time to step up. It is time to rise up and claim your power, to claim your self-worth and to find your true inner strength.
On the night of the Full Moon, certain planets will shift into what astrologers call an irritated rectangle. As the name suggests, this Full Moon could bring irritations to the surface.
But this is not to irritate you, rather it is to help you clear away all that is no longer serving you. When things come to the surface it is because they are ready to be released, so instead of feeling frustrated, give yourself permission to step up and release.
As one of my favourite poets, Rumi says- if you are irritated by every rub how will you be polished?
And that is exactly what this Virgo Full Moon is offering us, she is offering us the chance to be polished and cleansed so we may rise up into the strength within.”

“Dismantle the masks, mental games, grips, and all other illusionary ways you might gather like wool to safely cushion your skin. Step into your world with all the truth, love, and courage you can. Freedom comes after constriction. Sanctuaries crave the open hearted. Amazing loves the vulnerable.” ~Victoria Erickson
