Happy New Moon!

“The March New Moon falls on the 6th in the sign of Pisces. This is a busy New Moon as it also falls on the same day that Uranus shifts into Taurus.

Whenever a slow moving planet like Uranus changes signs, it sends waves out into the cosmos which we feel on many levels. This move of Uranus into Taurus also sets up the start of a new cycle which will last until 2026.

These are big shifts in the works and they are part of helping us to raise the collective consciousness and shift the planet in a new direction.

This New Moon beckons us to upgrade our way of thinking and to do away with thoughts or behaviors that no longer serve us.

Over the last few months we have been raising our vibration, clearing out the cobwebs and creating space for a new wave of energy. We have done the hard work, and now it is time to become a beacon to receiving.

It is time for all of us to open our arms, open our hearts, and embrace what the Universe sends our way.

In the words of Tosha Silver, let us embrace what the Universe sends as if it has come from our own heart.

This force is there to support you, to encourage you and to help you live your best life.

On the night of this New Moon, hearts will be opened, seeds will be planted. You will enter into a new domain of understanding, into a new domain of wisdom.

This New Moon is going to lead us into the new beginnings that the astrological new year will bring on the Equinox of March 21st, when the Sun returns to the beginning point of the zodiac wheel.

This is the mark of a bright new chapter, a chapter that is bolder, more courageous, and more adventurous than before.

Release the grips of fear, let go of what you once believed, and step boldly and bravely into the new wave.”

Happy Full Moon!

Full Moon Art by Lobel Riche

“The Full Moon on February 19th falls in the earth sign of Virgo and is the strongest Super Moon of the year.

Super Moons occur when the Moon is closer to Earth, and on February 19th, the Moon will be at its closest point all year.

This Super Full Moon is potent as it falls at zero degrees of Virgo. Zero is the number of potential and limitless opportunities. Zero is the blank canvas of all creation, signaling that this Full Moon is really going to offer infinite potential.

February’s Full Moon is going to help us realize our potential and also the potential around us, it is also going to open us, broaden our horizons, and encourage us to open our minds and hearts to something beyond our current reality.

Since the January Eclipses, things have been shaken for many people. Perhaps your path suddenly changed or perhaps you simply started seeing things in a different light, causing you to change your attitude, beliefs, or life direction.

Life always has a way of pulling us in different directions. These directions may not always be rosy, but somewhere deep inside, we have to trust that whatever we experience is here to lift us higher, to open our hearts, and to help us to grow.

The light of this Full Moon is going to be strong, and the pull of its energy is going to be so intense that we will have no other choice but to open up.

On a mental level, this Full Moon is going to be exposing all that we need to release and let go of. While this is typical for most Full Moons, on this Virgo Moon we are specifically going to be encouraged to let go of repetitive thoughts, over-thinking, worries, and fears of the future.

To help us with this, the Universe may stir some of our core fears, or agitate some of our beliefs in order to help bring awareness and exposure to them.

The Universe is saying to you- release the fears that hold you back and bond you to these earthly illusions. On the other side of your fear is everything you have ever wanted, everything you have ever dreamed of. Your fears are not to be ignored, but rather they are to be challenged. Rise up to them, for you are strong enough, and the power of this Moon will be helping you.

On the deepest soul level, this Full Moon is helping to awaken our potential within. This Full Moon is helping to crack us open so we can see beyond our beliefs and into a new reality.

We perceive our reality to be a solid, three-dimensional world, but for those who have expanded their mind and awareness, it is easy to see that there are dimensions beyond this, life beyond this, and realms beyond this.

Life is not only what we see, there is an unseen world too, and if you open to the Moon’s energy, if you allow its light to shine straight through your soul, you will be able to awaken this awareness and see that life can be imagined and lived in far more detail, in far more vivid color, and with far more magic.”

Happy New Moon in Aquarius!

New Moon let's fly

“The New Moon on February 4th falls in the sign of Aquarius and holds beautiful, abundant, glittering energy for us all.

This is a New Moon to make plans and take action. This is a New Moon to begin new projects and new ventures. This is a New Moon to leap from our comfort zones and go after our wildest dreams and wishes.

Under the unique vibration of this Aquarius New Moon, you are going to be encouraged to take that leap, and to upgrade your life to a whole new level.

No more playing small, no more dumbing down your life or following the status quo, this is a time to rise and claim your power. This is a time to live up to the truth of your soul.

It is time to take your crown. It is time to sit upon the throne of your life and command with an open heart and an open mind.

It is time for you to take your place, to get out of the shadows, and birth forth into the light.

You must put an end to the bad habits, to the repeated patterns, to the beliefs that are leaving you stuck, and the only way to do this, the only way to begin with this journey is to love yourself, to release yourself from judgement, and to begin embracing all that you are.

It is possible to manifest an abundance of beautiful moments here on this earthly dimension, but it all begins with our mindset. It all begins with how well we listen to our soul and rise up in order to express that soul energy forward in our lives.

Under this New Moon energy, we have to stand tall in who we are. We have to give, we have to live, we have to allow all that we are to radiate out. We have to welcome in this energy into every corner of our lives, and then begin taking action to ensure that it sticks.”

“Wolves and Women have much in common. Both share a wild spirit. Women and Wolves are instinctual creatures, able to sense the unseen. They are loyal, protective of their packs and of their pups. They are wild and beautiful. Both have been hunted and captured. Even in captivity, one can see in the eyes of a Woman, or a Wolf, the longing to run free, and the determination that should the opportunity arise, Whoosh, they will be gone…..” ~ CLARISSA PINKOLA ESTÉS, [WOMEN WHO RUN WITH THE WOLVES].

When I am among the trees, especially the willows and the honey locust, equally the beech, the oaks and the pines, they give off such hints of gladness. I would almost say that they save me, and daily. I am so distant from the hope of myself, in which I have goodness, and discernment, and never hurry through the world but walk slowly, and bow often. Around me the trees stir in their leaves and call out, “Stay awhile.” The light flows from their branches. And they call again, “It’s simple,” they say, “and you too have come into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled with light, and to shine.” ~Mary Oliver (1935-2019)

Happy New Moon and Solar Eclipse!

“If you thought life was about to go back to normal post-holidays, buckle your seatbelt, because the craziness isn’t over yet: There are a few major astrological events going down in January 2019.

The new moon in Capricorn on January 5, followed by a partial solar eclipse on January 6, will have a serious impact on your life, no matter your zodiac sign, according to Donna Page, a professional astrologer with a graduate degree in counseling psychology.

The new moon and solar eclipse in Capricorn are happening with the planet Saturn, which rules this zodiac sign. “That means it’s a time to make a plan or resolution in life and a powerful time to start something new,” Page says.

Basically, if you’ve been wanting to get a new job or to make something happen, now is the time. “There’s a very strong push that says you should go after things in life,” she says.

These astrological events might set off a chain reaction that will impact your actions for the rest of the month, and maybe the rest of 2019. And heads up: There’s also going to be a lunar eclipse on January 21 that will also make an impact.

Still, none of this is necessarily a bad thing. “This is all about love, connectedness, and letting people be themselves without judgement,” Page says.

Basically, you’re going to get out there and grab life by the balls this month, and do some serious emotional growth while you’re at it. Sounds like the New Year is going to get off to an awesome start.”

“I believe we have more than enough creativity to solve the problems of our times, but we have to make a perilous trek into the wilderness within to reclaim it. There is a stand of undeveloped jungle, a place of “indigeneity” within each of us, that can never be domesticated. It is a borderless land, beyond personality and convention, even beyond thought, where pure creativity arises. Like the signature song of a tropical bird, the spiraling of an arbutus tree, the evening scent of a jasmine bush, there is an essence in each of us intended to be expressed. Few make the trek into this creative wild, because the path requires great vulnerability. To come into our true originality, we must surrender the layers of numbness we use to protect our hearts.” ~Toko-pa Turner

Happy New Moon!

New Moon Aimee Marie

“2018 has been a year of patience. It has been a year of strong inner growth and a time to really reflect on the direction of our lives.
Falling in the sign of Sagittarius, this New Moon is going to help shine a light on all the growing we have done, and will help us to see just how far we have traveled.

For most of 2018, we had this slower energy coursing through the months that may have left us feeling held back, restricted, or unsure of how to move forward. We may have had ideas or plans, but we may have found it hard to execute them to the fullest of our potential.

2018 was really a year for inner growth, which is why we may not have traveled as far as we would have liked to in a physical sense. On an inner level however, it is likely we have moved leaps and bounds, and made huge progress when it comes to our spiritual and emotional development.

Under the lunar vibes of this Dark Moon, we are going to see just how far we have traveled, and who we have now become. We are going to get a glimpse of just how much we have grown and achieved throughout the year.

2018 was a year of growth, and in some monumental way, something inside you shifted. Something inside you has blossomed, and you are about to find out what that is.

All you need to do is use the energies of the December New Moon to open your eyes, your mind, and your heart, and travel within so you can witness what is now in bloom.

You are blooming, you have done the work. The time has come now to rest, enjoy, and seek adventure as we enter into the holiday season.

Try not to focus on all the things that you should or shouldn’t have done, and instead focus on how far you have come. 2018 was a challenging year, but you made it and you are stronger now because of it.

Celebrate how far you have come. Celebrate all you have achieved. Be proud of yourself, for here you are still standing, still glowing, still interested in becoming the best you can be. And this is always worth celebrating.”
