Can You Feel It?
Astrologers have been talking about these three months -September, October and November, since the spring of this year. They talked of the intensity of the energy, the changes coming and the eclipses. Now, we’re here. Can you feel it? I stood outside and watched part of the Lunar Eclipse on September 17th. I could feel it in my body, but didn’t really understand what it was bringing. I think I do now. One night last week, I woke up at 3am sweating, slightly nauseated and dizzy. When I closed my eyes my body moved, so I kept my eyes open. Finally, I got up for an hour. It took into the afternoon for this feeling to dissipate. I drank lots of water and just let it be. When it was almost finished, I drank a cup of cardamon tea, which helped me release the leftovers. Full Moons are about endings,
A Balancing Act
We have entered the autumn season, which is all about reflecting on what we’ve created, who we’ve become, over the year so far. Some of those creations, attitudes, beliefs, behaviours, will feel right – they’ll fit – but some of them will not, and it’s time to let them go. We are all on a journey to re-discover and embrace our authentic self – who we truly are at the core, and this New Moon is here to help us. New Moon in Libra Today is the New Moon in Libra. It falls at 13 degrees which I find such an interesting number – it’s the 12 plus the centre, the focus. Libra is an Air sign, the sign of the scales – balance and weighing options. We have choices to make, and need to weigh them with care. Our choices are what to keep, it still serves me what
Reflecting
Pisces is the last sign in the cycle of Full Moons. It is a culmination point, an ending ready for a new beginning. It’s also a water sign, which means it deals with the emotions and things that are deep and hidden. It’s mutable, so it’s changeable. Water may flow through your fingers or smack you back when you slap it. Water is relentless in its movement and sometimes it can be pushy. It can be quiet and still or it can rush along in a torrent. Pisces Full Moon This Full Moon is asking us to tune into the quiet, reflective side of water, so that we can see, sense in some way, what limiting beliefs and behaviours need to be cleansed and released. When we stop moving, and just “be”, we create space for information to rise up from the depths or download from Spirit. That’s what this
Adapting and Flow
When I look at Virgo, I see a sign with two sides that work together – one that is very grounded in daily routine – very earthy. The other represents the Priestess. It’s as though Virgo is giving us the reminder to bring the Divine into all that we do, and to remember that we are Divine and to treat ourselves accordingly. This New Moon in Virgo was yesterday evening. It always feels a bit like a new year to me, with so many changes. Summer is ending, school is starting, the weather is changing. There is a different feel to this time of year. I feel as though I have an opportunity for a fresh start. Change Since this is a time of so much change, including all the changes that covid has brought in, it’s a good thing that one of the qualities of Virgo is adaptability, being
Leo and the Lion’s Gate
The Lion’s Gate The Lion’s Gate, the 8th day of the 8th month, was an auspicious time in ancient Egypt. It’s a time when Leo aligns with Sirius, offering more opportunities to learn and grow. To have it land on the New Moon in Leo just adds that extra oomph. I’ve been aware of the Lion’s Gate for many years, but never really felt anything myself. This time I read that we might feel things physically – energy working its way through our bodies. Friday, I had my own personal earthquake going on, because, of course, Leo is all about the self. So, if you should experience headaches, dizziness, shaking: Rest Drink water Don’t push yourself. Have a “me” day. New Moon in Leo The New Moon portion of the energy invites us to ask some questions. I t asks: What do I need to let go of? What no
Did You See The Moon?
This Full Moon in Aquarius is called the Buck Moon, because the antlers of the male deer have reached their full growth. One stage complete. From what I’ve read, it feels like a completion for us as well. Time to move on. The Moon This Full Moon is at 1 degree of Aquarius. This is the degree of initiation, of taking the bull by the horns (or buck, in this case) and trying something new, inventive, out of the box. Shake up the energy that is stuck, too familiar, too comfortable, that’s getting you nowhere fast. Dare to be called “crazy”; know that you are just ahead of everyone else’s time. They’ll catch up, or not. The Sun While the moon is at 1 degree of Aquarius, the sun is at 1 degree of Leo, again the number of initiation and action. Leo is asking us to allow access to
