The last few weeks have been a roller coaster ride for me in many ways. One of the ways is that I have been receiving messages regarding my personal journey since the Winter Solstice, and one of them has been around my relationship with the body. I was told that the body is my partner in this journey, and needs to be accorded the respect that a partner deserves. Now, I eat my vegetables, I do my yoga and I walk, I drink water and get lots of sleep (most of the time). I knew there were some things that my body didn’t like – café lattes, chocolate, baked goods –all the good stuff. And I knew that I eat them regardless (the lattes are gone and chocolate is on its way out). My body communicates with me quite clearly by causing pain, weight gain etc. It has no problem

Today is Full Moon in Gemini. It is the last Full Moon of the year. In fact, it is the last Full Moon of this decade. The changing of decades has never held any importance to me until this year. This time, it feels as though we are passing the torch to our future selves – to the people we could be if we lived in alignment with our values, if we followed our dreams in joy and if we respected ourselves and each other. This time it feels like a massive birth canal. Gemini is an air sign ruled by Mercury. The fact that it is an air sign means that it deals with the mental realm – with accumulating knowledge – so there is a lot going on in the head, but not always follow through. Gemini is a very active sign, since it’s ruled by Mercury –

Moving out of Scorpio and into Sagittarius feels like the light at the end of the tunnel. It feels like moving through the birth canal and being reborn. And to an extent, that is exactly what is happening this year. We have the opportunity for a renewal of energy, of soul expansion. New Moon in Sagittarius is today. Sag is the adventurer, the freedom lover, the seeker. She is always seeking the higher perspective, the higher truth. He is spontaneous, intuitive and expansive (can be prone to exaggeration as well). So, from this description you might ascertain that Sag is not necessarily the most grounded person in the world and you might be right. Of course, it depends on the influence of other planets in her chart. The pure Sag is an ideas person, often without the follow through. However, this year things are a bit different for commitment shy

Today, Sunday the 27th, is New Moon in Scorpio. This New Moon is personal – it’s about you. New Moon is when the moon regenerates. It pulls in energy from the sun, and right now it is pulling in Scorpio energy. What does this mean for us? It means we are being supported by the Universe to take more control of our lives. The New Moon is at 4 degrees Scorpio. The number 4 is about structure – routine, work, physical health. How do we take more control of our lives in these areas? By becoming aware of how we feel. How does our work feel? Do we love our job? What part of our daily routine gives us joy, which do not? Are there parts of our physical health that could use some help? Scorpio gives us support to look at these things – really look at them. This

Today, August 30, is New Moon in Virgo. Virgo is an earth sign, as in, it’s time to come back to earth after a fun, fabulous summer. It helps us to become more grounded, more practical, taking care of business. It helps us to become more detail oriented, more aware of what needs to change, and more aware of the Earth. There are eight planets in earth signs, so that might give you an idea of the strength of this New Moon. Virgo also embodies being of service to others. A lot of people I’ve spoken to lately are saying they felt as though they were in limbo, that space between, and they were anxious about being there.  I say “What a wonderful place to be. This is a place of possibilities; this is where the magic happens.” Every once in a while the Universe gives us the opportunity to

I’ve  learned so much about the meaning of moon phases and eclipses lately. I’ve been listening to Jocelyn Mercado – some of her talks and activities around the moon, and listening to Anastasia on You Tube around the Eclipses. Take a look at these two ladies if you’re interested in these topics. They have some great information to share. Anastasia is an astrologer and she describes the Full Moon as “Natures Spotlight”. I love that term. I was out looking at the moon Sunday evening and that is just what it felt like. It brings to light what isn’t working, what needs to shift or be let go – or, what is working and what we need to more of or tweak just a bit. When you add eclipse energy to this – kapow! We know that eclipses mean change – whether we are conscious enough to make the change
