Last Full Moon of the Year
This is the last Full Moon of the year 2020. How would you describe this year? I just tried to in my head and no words arrived. Perhaps there are no words for it. It’s just been an experience. At 10:28 this evening it is Full Moon in Cancer. What a lovely way to end the year. It’s been an unusual year, with many people having to cope with being alone, without being able to be physically present with family. Or perhaps you’ve been working from home and have experienced too much of family. It goes both ways. It’s something else to cope with, during lockdown here in Toronto. Cancer is a water sign, which means it deals with the emotional realm. It governs the domestic side of life – home, family, nurturing, caring, especially self-caring. Cancer is a personal, inward kind of sign, one that invites us to look
What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?
You may think I’m joking with the title of this email, but I’m really not. We have the opportunity right now to create something totally different if we want to, or simply make some tweaks to what is, if that is all that’s needed. It’s our choice. That feels so powerful – our choice. Right now, we have the power. The stars have aligned in our favour, so unleash your inner child and dream big. What did you always want to do that seemed impossible? Where did you want to be that you’re not? (you might have to forget about the always wanting to be a blonde thing for the moment, unless you’re good with the home kit thing). Tomorrow, Monday the 14th, at 11:17am EST, it is New Moon in Sagittarius, AND a total solar eclipse, visible in South America. So, what does that mean? Well, change, for starters,
Eclipses Are Back
I just went outside and stood under the moon. It felt very focused, very calm. I’m interested to see what this Full Moon brings. We have moved into the sign of Sagittarius. This Full Moon is in its opposite sign of Gemini. It is exact at 4:30 am EST on Monday November 30. It’s also an eclipse. Yep, we are back in eclipse season. So, this energy and opportunity will last for 6 months, and it will bring change. Let’s start with Gemini, an air sign, the sign of the twins, a dual sign. This is my rising sign, and I have always looked at the symbol of Gemini as a doorway, ready to be walked through. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, which rules communication. Since it is an air sign, it deals with the mental realm, our thoughts, beliefs, expression, ability to listen. The energy of Gemini is restless
Standing At The Threshold
Today is New Moon in Libra. Libra is an air sign, so it deals with the mental realm, relationships, how we connect and how we communicate with each other. The symbol for Libra is the scales of balance. My sense, coming up to this New Moon, was that it would be beautiful; not soft and easy, but also not harsh and difficult to get through. When I sat with the energy in meditation, I felt that we are standing at a threshold, not quite ready to take the next step, which, for some, could cause frustration. So, cool your jets. I also was told that we can only reap what we have sown, so we need to sow carefully. To do that, we need that state of balance of which Libra speaks. Even though we are in an Air sign, we need to ground ourselves, to use the Earth energy
A New You
Today is Full Moon in Aries. It sounds as though we are entering a very dynamic month, with Aries Full Moon on the first, Libra Full Moon on the thirty-first, and New Moon in Libra in the middle. It promises to be emotional and transformational. I have three favourite astrologers that I check in with every month. With regard to this Full Moon, Molly McCord made the statement: “Trust the Process”. I’m making that my affirmation for the month. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, the initial step on the journey. It’s all about you – who you are, what you like, what you love to do, where you’re going. This is the Full Moon, so it’s going to shine a lot of light on these areas. This is a time where we can receive insights into health issues, on finding what motivates us, into what we would
Am I Enough?
Last night, at 10:42 pm., it was New Moon in fun-loving, confident, courageous, fire inspired Leo. From what I’ve read, this new Moon is gifting us with a new sense of who we are and what we are able to accomplish. We’re being given some clarity. We’re also being given some support as we move forward, although it doesn’t feel like time for action yet. This seems to be the time to sit with some tough questions: Do you feel enough? Do you feel worthy? I’ve had a really interesting journey through Leo (we’re at the end of Leo now). I’d like to share it with you. There may be a nugget in there for your own journey. I started out by taking a workshop on Abundance with Dr. Judith Wilcox, a truly brilliant healer from Connecticut (you can find her easiest on Facebook). In the first half of the
