Monday 8/3, the week starts off with a Full Moon in the sign of Aquarius.

This Full Moon occurs at 11:59 AM EST.

A Full Moon happens when the Sun is opposite the Moon.

This highlights the polarities (opposing forces) in our lives.

These polarities are of an emotional, physical and spiritual nature.  It can be one area or all three, and each Full Moon will feel different based on the sign and planetary aspects surrounding the Moon.

Awareness and emotion reach their peak and are heightened around Full Moons.  This is why we feel more edgy and anxious around these times, sometimes not even being able to sleep.

The Moon rules our subconscious, the raw emotions that lurk underneath the surface.

Everything comes to a head under this energy.  There is a tug of war between head and heart.

The Sun is in Leo (Fire) while the Moon is in the opposite sign of Aquarius (air).

Leo wants us to follow our hearts, recognize our personal truths and shine our light.

Aquarius is a free thinker, will not be boxed in at any costs.

Squaring Aquarius’s ruling planet Uranus, this Full Moon is bound to shake us up.  Rock and roll personally and collectively.

This is exactly what may be needed to put you directly on the path...your path.

Much more on this energy, video below.

Use this mantra for the Full Moon:

‘I effortlessly attract what is for me and I lovingly release what is not’.

Much Love ,

‘Leap and the net will appear’.

This is a quote that we all know and have heard often.

We see it plastered on magnets and repeated time and time again, however, how many times have you been afraid to leap?

How often have you felt stuck, immobolized by fear?  I will bet plenty (raising my hand here)!.

Perhaps you do not trust in the unseen, the divine.

Your faith may be lacking, you might not trust yourself to make the ‘right’ decision.

The thing is, there is no such thing as a mistake….but consequences are a different story.

Sometimes we need those consequences to learn a significant lesson about ourself and/or about others and without falling?  We would not have learned a valuable lesson.

There are many reasons we may choose not to leap.

Despite the fires burning in our soul , the ones that are raging for us to do that very thing that scares us the most….leap… sometimes we just cannot.

You see, that’s the thing about life.

There are no guarantees, just a bunch of risks that might just end up bringing rewards.

On the flip side, we could also end up with missed chances that we did not take and then the constant ‘what if’s’ that result from that (which are way worse, in my humble opinion as the ‘what ifs’ can really eat us up from the inside out)!

‘Leap and the branch will appear’.

This morning as I am typing this, I am sitting outside.

I notice a squirrel right at the edge of the roof, looking down.

I immediately get irritated because they usually go in my bird feeder and knock the tray down, but that’s a whole’nother topic.  Yes, I am the crazy bird feeder lady that chases squirrels away.

Back to the squirrel…I watch it as it teeters at the edge of the roof for a bit, inching his way closer and closer to the edge, ever so slowly.

After what might have been 3-4 minutes- the squirrel suddenly leaps through the air (quite far, it was impressive) and catches a tree branch which is now swinging uncontrollably as the squirrel clutches for dear life.

I laughed watching the branch swinging back and forth ( I am amused easily what can I say).

I realized that Mr. Squirrel wanted in the neighbors bird feeder and my roof was the best way to get there.

It wasn’t easy, but he figured it out.

Where there’s a will there is a way.

This may sound silly, but it prompted this post as I sat here pondering specific things…..the universe is funny like that, you just need to be open and the messages come to you.

When you are present, when you are still, you can find a message in every situation.

The squirrel did not have a guarantee, yet he jumped and he succeeded.  Had he fallen?  I’m sure there was a plan B in squirrel land!

Perhaps we can take a lesson from Mr. Squirrel, eh?

Much Love Everyone,

Lisa

 

 

 

 

Monday 7/20 1:33pm EST we will experience our second (2nd) New Moon in the water sign of Cancer.

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 surrounds this energy.

New Moons are auspicious times filled with promise and opportunity.

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

As the second New Moon in a row (rare within itself) and sitting directly opposite Saturn and Pluto, this Moon feels more like a Full Moon.

There is an emotional tension that is present, as we climb uphill toward our goals.

Perseverance (Saturn) is everything while we strip away the garbage (Pluto) that is weighing us down as we attempt to ascend.

This time period has all of us longing for home.  The place where we feel safe, loved, respected and nurtured wherever that may be.

First, we must love ourselves warts and all.

It is highly probable with this energy, that we are called to go inward , to go as far back as childhood and get to the root of it all….our roots.

Purge is the word that is most significant during this lunation.  Think about how cathartic and good it feels to clean house, to purge our space.  Home, car , work, etc.

This purge is different 🔥 this is a soul purge and as much as it can hurt; this is where the true healing begins.

Mars conjunct Chiron with this Moon cycle is showing us that we are all our own healers.

The medicine is really in the wound.

Use this potent energy to set plans for where it is you would like to go next, what it is you are shooting for.

Slow and steady wins the race and with Saturn so strong right now?  Remember: nothing worth having is ever easy BUT the hard work gets you the reward.

Go a little deeper with me with this energy in the video below.

Much Love,

Lisa

 

 

‘As above so below’.

Today 7/11, Chiron stations retrograde in Aries.

Our own wounds are the medicines that heal.  We go inward, not outward to seek enlightenment.

Tomorrow 7/12 Mercury will station direct.

The rest of July will feel a wee-bit easier than weeks gone past….

Much Love,

Lisa

Early Sunday morning 7/5, 12:44 AM EST we experience our third and final eclipse (well of this portal anyway!)- this one a Lunar Eclipse/Full Moon.

This Full Moon takes place at thirteen (13) degrees of Capricorn.

Full Moons are always a time of heightened awareness and intuition. 

Energy, feelings and impressions are extra intense, emotional waters stirred up.

A lunar eclipse only serves to amplify this energy.

The Sun and the Moon are opposing each other by sign- the Sun is in the homey and sensitive sign of Cancer, and the Moon is in the earthy and goal oriented sign of Capricorn.

Work versus play, pleasure versus pain, fear versus faith; these are the themes of this Lunar Eclipse/Full Moon.

This Full Moon is linked to the South Node, the past.

All signs can and will be impacted but the signs that will feel this Moon cycle the most are Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn and Libra.

Also, if you have any planets close to 13 degrees of Capricorn (particularly the ascendant or the Moon) or any of the other earth signs (Taurus and Virgo), you will feel this energy strongly.

That which is outdated needs to be released so that the new can come in.

We are still under Mercury Retrograde, plus Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn all retrograde in Capricorn….and with a Full Moon in Capricorn?  Planet Saturn is ruling this Lunation.

Saturn is all about structures, boundaries, restriction and delays…..constructive change when all is said and done.

Once Saturn stations direct in Aquarius in September, we will have a better idea of the way things are going to progress.  This means that we have two more months to set the record straight with the lessons both personally and collectively, that Saturn wishes to teach us.

Circumstances and situations are revisited, revised and reworked for positive reinforcement, an innovative future.

Let’s mention that The Moon does not particularly enjoy its residency in Capricorn, so this Full Moon is filled with tension, nervousness and stress.

The fluid Moon can feel cold, distant, lifeless even when in the earthy realms of the sea goat.

Yet, there is always promise of brightness and reprieve after some hard work.

Ah yes, work…this is Capricorn’s domain, Saturns territory.  

The mystical sea goat (that represents Capricorn), eventually gets to the top of the mountain…and oh, how amazing that feels!

This is Saturn, this is Capricorn.  All hard works reaps the rewards!

Yes, it may take awhile….yes, there may be some tribulations and turbulence on this flight path; but with the persaverance and determination that Capricorn is known for?

We will get there and that is something to look forward to.

Happy Full Moon everyone, release what no longer serves your soul, call in what you wish to accomplish, what you wish to manifest.

Set up some uninterrupted time in a quiet space to reflect.

Light some sage, cleanse your energy and your surroundings.

If you work with crystals, I highly suggest Moonstone for meditation and manifestation and Carnelian for psychic protection and clarity.

Peace & Love,

Lisa
