Saturday 5/18 5:11 PM EST- we have an intense Full Moon in the introspective and intuitive Water sign, Scorpio.

Scorpio is power, transformation and succumbing to the shadow.

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 at this time.

Full Moons are about culmination and release.  This is the time where it is wise to allow the emotions to flow through us, and release whatever no longer serves our growth.

The Sun is in the Earth sign of Taurus while this Full Moon is in the opposite sign of Scorpio.

As both of these signs are fixed (immovable, deliberate and slow to change) we can feel a bit stuck in our minds and our hearts.  We know and feel things on a deep level, that there are things that need to change, but we may feel resistant at the moment.

Healing and transformation are the end game.

The key is to be ok with where you are at the moment, and not to force anything.  Being ok with it does not mean you don’t have to want to change anything, it just means that we need to accept the frustration as part of the process.

Be kind to yourself.

I am SUPER excited to be hosting this.

Full Moon Goddess Circle

When: Monday 5/20 (In honor of Saturdays 5/18 Scorpio 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

Saturday 5/4, 6:45 PM EST- we have an earthy and serene New Moon in the sign of the Bull, Taurus.

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 –Taurus.

Under the grounded energy of Taurus, the emphasis of this New Moon is what makes us feel stable and secure versus what actually contributes to our stability and security.

Yes, there is a difference and under this energy it will be easier to separate the two with conscious awareness.

Alterations can and will be made as necessary.

Planet Uranus, the ‘great awakener’ has just re-entered the sign of Taurus where it will stay until 2026. This is a big deal  and something we have not experienced in eight decades. 

What this means is that the winds of change are upon us, both collectively and individually – it’s all about keeping the faith and having trust.   

Remember that Taurus more than any other sign, as fixed-earth, truly gets complacent with their place in the world.

Uranus is the planet that shakes it all up…..so let’s think about how uncomfortable things may and can get at times.  Ultimately, it is for the greater good.  Let us not forget that Uranus is an agent for liberating change, and will always leave us better than we are found.

Taurus is ruled by planet Venus- the planet of love, beauty, and money.

In these areas of life, do we have all that we need?  Or are we getting too caught up in what we simply want? 

Are we utilizing all of our natural resources?   This refers to the resources we have within us, as well as what the earth (Taurus) provides for us. 

The earthy sign of Taurus is all about nature, mother earth.  This is a great time to connect to your soul while outside, soaking in all of the natural beauty that nature has to offer.

Go for a walk in the woods, get near some water, walk barefoot in the grass and connect to the earth.  All of these things will help clear your mind and set some intentions during Taurus season, but particularly while under this New Moon energy.

As Taurus rules money and New Moons are times of growth and abundance, look to your personal financial situation to make positive changes – to keep promoting growth and expand upon what you have.

Perhaps you are spending frivolously and now is a time to get a real plan in place for the future.  Perhaps you don’t spend on creature comforts at all and it’s time to loosen up your purse strings and enjoy yourself.

Look to how you call upon all of your resources.  Are you creatively and actively searching for, and implementing better ways to make it all work?  Are there people and circumstances that can be helpful to you at this time?  If so it is a good time to reach out, to stay in touch.

Under this New Moon you are being asked to have faith- to trust that all is where it should be at the moment and if it is not, you may experience a healthy shake-up, a break through.

There is quite a bit of ‘gnarly’ planetary activity right now so yes, while this New Moon is filled with abundance, intuition, positivity and creativity, there is also an element of anxiety and fear that is lurking beneath the surface.  Jupiter, Saturn, And Pluto are currently retrograde –post on that here.

People I work with often ask me “how do you stay grounded dealing with so many people, it must be so hard”.

Well, days like the one i describe in this post definitely do it for me.

I’m a nature girl in true Taurus fashion.  Even in the dead of winter I bundle up and get outside for as long as i can stand it.

Just sitting outside for ten-minutes somewhere quiet does the trick for me.  I appreciate the smells and sounds of every season especially spring and fall.

Following a mostly clean/healthy way of eating/living, getting enough sleep, exercise and meditation also do it.  I spend  a lot of time alone, and I am ok with that as I need the solitude to recharge and clear my energy.

Back to my rare, unplanned day off.

Last week was a weird week energetically.

I was exhausted, super emotional and I was also really slow and light client wise.

The universe is funny this way- almost like ‘hey you need to regroup so no clients this week’.  I didn’t plan it that way, it just seems to happen every now and again and I have learned to go with the flow and trust it.

I notice that this only happens if/when I’m emotionally off, or ill.  Like it’s predetermined- I guess it is, huh ?

This was ok with me as I still had plenty of work to do.  Emails, phone calls to be returned, errands to run, etc. 

I tend to not really allow myself to ‘just be’.  I am working on it,  I really am.  I do practice what I preach, and self-care has become a priority for me in order to keep delivering my best to others.

Sometimes though, I go in circles chasing my tail and feeling annoyed at myself for not doing more.

In reality, you need ‘off’ days to reset your mojo and i know this.  It’s imperative for your best self in every area.  Your work, your home, your children etc.  You need not feel guilty for this, but I digress.

Last Wednesday was a gorgeous day.  The Sun was shining, it was a clear blue sky without a cloud in sight, 62 degrees.

I sat down first thing in the morning, with my cup of coffee to look at my schedule.  Two clients, both Skype.  No need to leave the house unless I have to.

Both clients were West Coast so for me, these appointments were later in the day- 3 & 5PM.  Still plenty of time to get other work done.

Within ten minutes of each other both clients had something come up and needed to reschedule.  This too, was rare.

So I sat there, answered emails and then started the mental checklist of all the other things I could cram in the next few hours.  I felt overwhelmed instantly.

I opened my front door to get some air and a cardinal landed right in front of me, on the window ledge.  He stared at me, cocked his little head as if to nod at me , and flew off.

OK universe , I get the message.  I guess you want me to get outside and enjoy this beautiful day.

I decided to take a ride to a farm in upper Westchester County where I have been a few times and always find extremely peaceful.  Even just driving up there was therapeutic.  It’s the little things right?

I hiked the trails there, listened to the birds chirping (I saw so many beautiful blue birds) and just got lost in my own thoughts.  I fed the Cows, marveled at the way they eat the grass and flowers- I spent quite a few hours there.

What a recharge.  No matter what we do or where we are, nature is medicine.  It really is.  That day reset my batteries, but more importantly, it reset my emotions.

There is so much beauty in this world, we just have to take the time to stop and appreciate it.  Ask yourself, have you been ‘stopping’ at all lately?  Have you pressed reset for a day, or heck, even a few hours?

If not, make a time in your schedule to do this, just clear the space and hold yourself to it.  

Who would think that a curious COW basically breathing in your face could feel so refreshing? 🙂 See below.

Here are some pics below (and a video of Mr. Cow)!

Yes, we really were nose to nose!

Have a great week everyone!

Peace & Love,

Lisa
