We are halfway through the month of June, and now halfway through the year!  Can you believe it?

June 2019 is a month that we will look back on and marvel at the way things have shifted.  This could be an internal process, an external process, or both.

Cosmically there is quite a bit of activity.  Our emotional and physical bodies do get affected, make no mistake.

We feel quite a bit, and often times might not give the credit to the cosmos, but yes, this is a huge part of it.

Spiritually we can feel more tuned-in, more compassionate and open , yet avoidance could be a part of this process as well.

One thing is for certain: change is afoot.

It is time to confront our fears, to face the reality of who we truly are, where we are headed.

Ask yourself : do I need to redirect  my course altogether or simply alter the current path?  Perhaps you feel and do nothing, and that is ok too.

We are gearing up for two Eclipses this July as well, so this energy is ramping up!

Watch below for more info on the current energy and remember : stay grounded!  Take good care of your physical body, take some time for quiet reflection.

Peace & Love,

Lisa

Come and join me from 7-9PM, Monday 6/17  for this Full Moon Goddess Circle.  The 1st one last month was a wonderful evening, so we are going to go for it again!  This time, it is on the night of the actual Full Moon in Sagittarius.

Full Moon Goddess Circle

When: Monday 6/17  (In honor of that evenings Sagittarius Full Moon) 🌕

Time: 7-9PM

Where: Sun Raven, Holistic Living Sanctuary

501 Guard Hill Rd, Bedford, NY 10506

*The event will take place behind the house in the back on the gorgeous property.  You will see a Tippee (you can’t miss it), and this is where we will be.

Plan to arrive about 10-15 minutes early so we can get situated.

*Please note that there is a real fire pit, so dress in clothes that you don’t mind if they smell like smoke, and dress comfortably.

During this two-hour event, I will guide you through a brief grounding exercise.  We will talk about the significance of this Full Moon and Full Moons in general, and everyone will receive an intuitive message, plus more.

I also ask that you bring a pen and something to write with as we will set our intentions and release them under the light of the Full Moon.

If you work with crystals and have a favorite (or a few) that you would like to charge, please bring those as well.

The only other thing I ask that you bring is an open heart. 🙂

This is going to be an inspiring and uplifting event.  Space is limited so secure your spot here.

More On This Event

Full Moons are feminine and very powerful.  The Moon rules both our emotional body and the flow of our energy.

Under the Full Moon we align ourselves with our hopes and fears, our desires and our purpose.

Each Full Moon brings with it a unique theme and energy according to the sign it falls under and the planetary activity surrounding it.

We will set intentions, as well as release which no longer serves us.

Looking forward to this!  You will receive another email as we get closer to the 20th, but if you have any questions, please email me here.

This will be a beautiful and inspiring evening, and I look forward to seeing you there!

Peace & Love,

Lisa

Monday 6/3-  6:01 AM we have a high-energy, and giddy New Moon in the sign of the curious and intelligent twins, Gemini.

A New Moon marks the beginning of the lunar cycle, the movement of the moon through its different phases.

New Moons are a time of new beginnings.  The beginning of a new cycle, a time to initiate plans and projects, get things moving, a fresh start.  Abundance typically surrounds this energy.

The Sun aligns with the Moon in the sky when it’s a New Moon meaning, that they are in the same sign –Gemini.

This New Moon like all New Moons is a time of fresh starts and new beginnings, but not without some caveats.

The key is to stay grounded during frenetic circumstances (although positive, after all Gemini season is typically time to play).

Tune in to your intuition and be very cautious of over extending yourself as the desire to do so will be there.

As I always say, respond do not react.  Take time to digest the information before spitting out a premature answer that you will likely regret.

While speaking with others, be sure to listen – truly listen, and not just listening to respond.

Be present, be still and follow your intuitive nudges.  Do not be afraid to express yourself, to honor your truth and to communicate what you need/desire.

Gemini is chatty and quick as it is ruled by the speedy planet Mercury, the planet of communication.

We may feel like we want to speak, we want to ‘show what we know’ but the timing might just not be right.  We must honor that as well.

The month of June contains some heavy astrology, with some beauty mixed in for sure…but a bit intense and challenging.

We are also going to begin Eclipse season come July which many of us are already feeling- Eclipses are always massive gateways to change both internally and externally.

Protect your energy, go inward, take care of yourself and reflect.

Anxiety is high as there is lots of intense energy swirling about.

Now is not the time to skip your Yoga class, to drink too much alcohol, to eat too much sugar etc.  You will feel the effects that much more.

Adopt some healthy habits, it will help you to remain centered during any storms that may arise both inside and out.

Earlier this month I celebrated my 39th trip around the Sun.

Birthdays are and always have been, a mixed bag of emotions for me.  They are a big deal to me, both mine and others and in different ways.

When you really break it down, growing older is a pleasure that is denied to many so we should be very grateful for another year under our belt- and grateful I am.

Birthdays can also bring in some sadness as we reflect upon the past, and ponder at how we would like things to be moving forward.

On the one hand, when it is someone else’s birthday I truly love celebrating them.  After all, they are special and that is the one day of the year when it is all about them.  They deserve love, praise and affection.  To both be shown and told how much they mean to us.

We all deserve this blessing but on our day of birth, more so.

When it is my birthday however, I don’t particularly like a big fuss.  In fact, it embarrasses me.  Yet it is important to me to feel ‘recognized’ on some level by those closest in my life.  

I do not particularly want nor expect any red-carpet treatment.  I do not care so much about physical gifts or grand gestures.

Sure, it’s nice to receive something pretty and new, but it feels even better to receive a thoughtful card or message, or some beautiful flowers.  That’s just the way I have always been.  It’s the little things.  Everyone has a different ‘love language’ and this is mine.

Every year, I make a new years resolution not on New Years Eve, but on my birthday.  I do this because astrologically, our birthday begins our Solar Return, our next trip around the Sun.  A new gateway opens up and we can feel rejuvenated as we start the next phase of our journey.  This is way more impactful and cathartic to me than any New Years Resolution.  

This year this is my mantra:

Stop worrying about other people understanding you.  Get in touch with yourself instead.  Focus on what makes you happy and what makes your soul feel at peace.  YOU are your biggest commitment, so start loving your flaws, your awkwardness, your weirdness, your intensity, your vulnerability, your everything.  Life becomes so much more fulfilling when you are simply yourself.  The world keeps spinning whether people understand you or not so why not make this next trip around the sun about you?

One thing that truly makes me happy is sharing my gifts.  Helping others to recognize that which they may have forgotten, to find what and where they have lost along the way, and to transform and heal.  To move forward in their lives with peace in their heart- and while I am doing that for others, I am helping myself as well.

In each of you I also find a piece of me, and the rewards are two-fold.

I will continue to  show up in my best space, with my arms open to receive comfortably.  While giving is second-nature to me, receiving can be challenging.  

Cheers to another year!

Peace & Love,

Lisa

 

 

Today 5/21, the Sun leaves the grounded and slow-moving sign of Taurus and moves into the inquisitive, communicative sign of the twins- Gemini.

The tone shifts considerably as the Sun shifts and we are ready to hit the ground running.

One thing that Gemini possesses is speed.

Communication is key over these next few weeks.

We feel more light-hearted and we desire to get out and play a little more, to socialize.

Gemini falls under the element of air.  Intellectual, all about the mind.  This sign can never absorb enough knowledge, and they love to disperse this knowledge to others.

This sign can talk a lot but they are very fun to listen to as they are quite charismatic and engaging.

Gemini is ruled by planet Mercury A.K.A –  ‘The Messenger of the Gods’. 

Mercury communicates, and as a zippy planet, Mercury ruled signs communicate in a fast manner just like their ruling planet.

Is it any surprise that it has been statistically proven that many teachers and salespeople fall under this sign?  I think not!  Gemini is all about communication and teaching/learning.

Gemini is represented by the symbol of  the Twins, and the ruling tarot card is ‘The Lovers’.

This sign is knows for having its energy a bit scattered into two or more areas at once.  They are very good at spreading themselves thin, but they are actually able to follow the chaos most of the time, and may even prefer to not be confined to only one person/place/job/etc.

Many Geminis have more than one job, one home, or even ahem more than one relationship- which suits them just fine!

Gemini is a mutable sign, meaning changeable- they like to switch things up.

It has been said that this sign can appear to have a dual personality.  They certainly can, and this is not necessarily their fault!  Their moods and feelings tend to change from one minute to the next.  On the positive side, they are also very upfront and honest about this.

Like every sign, there are positive and not-so-positive character traits, but we can choose how to integrate and exist with these energies in a healthy manner.

As this sign is known to talk without a filter, they can be two-faced and truly enjoy gossip.

For the most part this is a fun loving sign that truly does not mean any harm, but you may not want to trust them with your deepest secrets.

They truly can’t help it, and they can talk out of both sides of their mouths.  Again: there’s a reason they make good salespeople!

Gemini characters are also very funny- they possess comedic abilities and can make your stomach hurt from laughing.

Don’t let this sign fool you though!  They absorb everything even when it appears that they are not paying attention.  This is one of their greatest gifts.  Tricksters they can be, both in an endearing and not-so-endearing way at times.

Many -a-Gemini will display a very soft soul when you can actually pin them down to have a deep conversation!  They are always on the move.

Happy Birthday to all of the Twins out there!

May Gemini season run smoothly for all….may the cosmos be kind to all of us over these next few weeks during these times of change.

I will be back with another energy read soon.

Peace & Love,

Lisa
