Happy Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse!
“The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces is an emotional high tide. It makes me think of being on a surfboard, scudding across a beast of a wave as the crest begins to fold and you’re wondering whether you’re going to stay upright or be flung head over heels by the force of the water.
The Moon is in a tight conjunction to Chiron which means we are very sensitive to being hurt. In Pisces we are wide open with no defenses, especially as the Moon squares warrior Mars.
In fact, it may be the case that we are pushed to let down our defenses and really allow ourselves to feel.
Chiron is both the one who wounds and the one who heals the wound. The wound itself is the way to healing – like cutting open an infected sore until it bleeds clear…knowing that sometimes the path to healing must begin with a painful cut…
And our part is to surrender, to accept that healing is needed and necessary, to put trust in the universe that what comes is for our benefit.
There is something sacred about this painful process. The Gods haven’t abandoned us, they are carrying us. They are the giant wave beneath our feet…”

“She was a galaxy, not one planet, she was a forest, not one tree. She was an ocean, not just one river. But the world had taught her to close and be as small as could be. But she woke up one day, longing for that little girl. Who knew she was living in a small corner and not her entire inner world. And so she slowly unlocked each door, deciding she wanted to play, live, go wild, no longer hide… And that girl was finally free, the one who carried a dancing universe of galaxies, forests and oceans inside.” ~S.C Lourie

“Life is truly what we choose to make of it. I believe that amazing things in life are the result of our unique abilities to imagine and work boldly towards results. I believe in the inner child inside of us and the amazing power of the universe who simply awaits for our ability to entrust in it.” ~Edi Santos
Happy New Moon Solar Eclipse!
“The September 1, New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo is going to open a doorway into the new.
Mercury, who also shifts into retrograde on August 30 is also going to be amplifying this energy and will bring a dynamic energy to this Solar Eclipse.
On one hand, we are going to be greeted with a new doorway, but on the other hand Mercury in retrograde may bring a sense of confusion about how to actually proceed.
This confusion is necessary and is the Universe’s way of reminding us to slow down yet again.
Coupled with the Eclipse, Mercury is going to be bringing important information to the surface. Secrets may be revealed, the truth may come out and new information may be brought to light.
We need this information before we can fully fling ourselves through this doorway, so wait patiently and see what this Mercury retrograde cycle brings for you.
It seems that 2016 has really been asking us to take things slow so we can truly understand where we are heading and what choices are serving us or holding us back.
2016 is a year of endings, so whatever we need to put an end to, whatever choices we need to redirect, will finally be revealed throughout September.
Watch what events take place around the New Moon Solar eclipse and feel out what this doorway may be opening for you. If you are aware, you will get enough of a glimpse of this energy to work out where it may be guiding you.
This new cycle is all something we can look forward to. Its energy is strong, powerful and centered around healing, truth and finding our inner-strength.
So, on the day of the Solar Eclipse New Moon take a moment to send out your wishes into the Universe. Take a moment to drink up the powerful energy of this Eclipse, and see where September may take you.”

“Sometimes Life gives us no other choice but to do the impossible. To boldly reach across the veils and bring back a vision that has never before been seen on this earth. To breathe life into new forms of expression that catapult us beyond the reach of all that is familiar, and beyond the understanding of the family or friends we once relied upon. To disconnect from the safety and security promised by all inauthentic paths, and forge a new connection to the world of Spirit from which all is sourced. To keep leaning up against that vital and swirling edge of chaos that most certainly will dissolve us, yet at the same time holds the key to our rebirth.” ~Azra Bertrand

“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, “Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner.” I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.” ~Carl R. Rogers, A Way of Being
Happy potent Aquarius Full Moon!
“Aquarius, the Water Bearer is an air sign known for its intellectual insights and astounding intelligence. The waters that Aquarius pours forth to humanity are those of insight, energy and creative intelligence. These waters are given without expectation of anything in return. Aquarius takes its energetic reserves and brings them forward to share with all of life. Not known for being an outwardly emotional sign, Aquarius cares deeply about equality and humanitarian causes. A sign known for its astute and searingly honest insights, Aquarius wants to understand how systems work and how to make them work as efficiently as possible. Aquarius doesn’t rely on the thinking of the group to form its opinion. It is able to do that through the gathering, weighing and understanding of all the evidence it can acquire. Aquarius is a fixed sign. Fixed signs hold the center. They are sturdy. They are solid. Aquarius is sturdy, solid and confident in its visions. Aquarius is the Seer of the zodiac. This full moon is reminding us to take those visions to heart. This full moon is sitting in a sextile to Uranus, the planet that awakens us, sends lightening bolts of insight to us and can sharpen our perception by disrupting our illusions with the truth. A sextile is subtle and supportive. Through this sextile the moon is transmitting the energies of rebellion, revolution and breaking free in a way that appears more seamless and less chaotic than this planet usually is. It could be a moon that helps us to break up or chip away at the psychic calcium that collects when we become overly rigid or unwilling to allow life to live itself through us. Give way to what is coming through you.”
