8/30 6:37 AM we experience a New Moon in the sign of mutable and earthy Virgo.

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 –Virgo.

This New Moon is all about cleansing our space physically, emotionally and spiritually, to create room for growth.

We make order out of chaos, we restructure our foundations to make way for improvement.

Virgo is a logical and analytical sign, rooted in reality (earth) and often critical both of self and of others.

This sign is intuitive and impressional, yet can remain detached in its quest for knowledge and meaning.

This New Moon energy is very earth-oriented with eight (8) planets in the earth element, one (1) in water, and one (1) in fire.

The possibilities are endless.  Creation is strong and practical,  giving way to deeper meaning.

We are lacking the air element at this time and we have an over-emphasis on earth.

This means that sound logic and manifestation are present.  We analyze yes (air), but we do also (earth).

There could also be some anger and hastiness present as Mars is sitting tightly with this New Moon.

As if Virgo needs another reason to snap or criticize at this time.

Venus is very present here lending love and sweetness to her natural, masculine counter-part, Mars.

This will definitely aid in keeping anger and hostility at bay, keeping this a very positive and uplifting energy.

These two (Venus and Mars) are yin and yang, opposites that come together to make a whole, to balance everything out.  Therefore, any friction that Mars can and will produce, if funneled properly, Venus can really sweeten the deal.

With all of this earth energy and the fact that we are beginning a new lunar cycle, these next 28 days or so are fantastic for cleaning up our space, our lives, our heart.

Declutter is the theme.

Relationships are a main focus right now.

If things are going well, this time can feel even better allowing you to feel even closer to your beloved.

If things are not going so well, reality can strike and throw a curveball or two.

If you are single, under this energy you just might meet your soulmate!

Today 8/23 the Sun leaves the playful and gregarious sign of Leo and enters the down-to-earth, organized sign of productivity, Virgo.

Happy Birthday to all of the Virgos of the zodiac ♍️!

When ever the center of our universe (Sun) switches signs, the mood and tone changes considerably.

Where Leo lit the fire in our hearts, Virgo is the sign where we plan to make it happen.

Virgo season is where we sort and restructure, priorities are the main focus.

This is not a time of ‘all work and no play’.  This is a time where we make room for play, but are much more driven to get on track and get the work done first…then we can play.

Virgo is a mutable earth sign, meaning changeable and adaptable (mutable) yet very grounded and practical, productive (earth). 

Virgo likes results.

Less talk, more action under Virgo season.

This is the time where we feel compelled to clean our homes, a time to declutter our space emotionally, physically and spiritually.

The positive side of this sign-  they are neat, orderly, intelligent and practical.  Virgos enjoy healthy mental debates that keep their sharp minds engaged.  They are brutally honest and they will not lie to make you feel good.

Ruled by planet Mercury, all Virgos are communicators in some fashion and likely very good at getting their point across. 

The shadow side of Virgo –  they can be extremely fussy, obsessive-compulsive, critical, and nit-picky.  This sign can lean towards self-righteousness in thinking that their way is the only way and that they are always right.

Virgos can appear aloof and emotionally detached as they prefer to rationalize how to change something as opposed to why they feel a certain way.

Often times with this sign, an irritable nervous tension can exist from all of their mental energy.

Positively and negatively, their minds are always churning.

The Tarot Card that Virgo rules is number 9 , IX ‘The Hermit”

The number 9 (nine)  is the number of the spiritual warrior, the solitary one.

The Hermit is also solitary.  At this time of the Hermit,  is the time where we go within to seek spiritual solace.

Perhaps we need to light our own path at the moment away from others.

Perhaps we need to be by ourselves to avoid any outside noise and interference as we seek the truth, our truth about where we are on our journey.

It is time to get real with ourselves first, then we can get real with others.

The Hermit is here (as is Virgo season) to remind us that

Silence is the language of God, all else is poor translation – Rumi

It is in our silence, when we go within, that we find our answers.

For the next four weeks we may feel like the Hermit, but what is really happening is that we are setting the stage.

Virgo season means business, and it is time to be productive and proactive.

We are seeking, then we can move forward.

Not only is the Sun in Virgo, but Mars, Venus and Mercury as well!  More on this energy coming up soon….

8/15 8:29 AM we have a Full Moon in the eccentric sign of the free-thinker, the air sign Aquarius.

Full Moons are times of great release, purging and cleansing.  

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 (the heart) while the Moon is  in the opposite sign of Aquarius (the mind).

Aquarius as a fixed air sign is quite intelligent, yet very detached.  Aquarius wants the bottom line.

Leo as a fixed fire sign can be very dramatic and intense, wants to shout from the rooftops.  Leo loves all the fluff.

These are two opposite signs with opposing emotions and view points.  Where one wants freedom, the other craves closeness.  We can really feel this polarity at this Full Moon.

We also have Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and the Sun all in fire! That’s a whole’lotta of Fire, and fire moves quickly.  This can feel like a major adrenaline rush especially if you are a fire sign or have a lot of your planets in fire! 

We can feel the need now stronger than ever under this energy to truly express what is in our hearts.

As Leo is a very ‘look at me’ sign, if in any way we are feeling ignored or disregarded, tempers can flare.

Aquarius does not stand for intense displays of heart-felt emotion most of the time.

They are way too logical for that, and besides, they have work to do.  This is the sign of the genius and the humanitarian, after all.

Take this time to focus on what it is in your world, or the world, that you can contribute to the betterment of.

This is the time to utilize all of your creativity, to take those brilliant and sometimes wacky ideas, to try to bring them down to reality.

There is a creative genius and free-thinker in all of us.

Follow your heart, but take your head with you.  This is where the true freedom resides.

On 8/11 expansive and lucky planet Jupiter will station direct in Sagittarius.  Jupiter has been retrograde since 4/10.

This transit has been a time to go within and assess our opportunities, our willingness for growth and advancement.

As Jupiter stations direct, a door or two can suddenly open for you, an opportunity may present itself.

This is an amazing time as Jupiter will be in his ‘home’ sign of Sagittarius until December 2019.  We will not see this again for twelve years and this is very auspicious!

On the very same day planet Uranus, the planet of freedom, change and liberation will station retrograde.  Two steps forward, two steps back.

Retrogrades are a time for reflection.

Since we are dealing with Uranus here, those doors that Jupiter might open could literally swing open, and hit you in the face!  This can be a good thing. 

Change is good, even when it starts off unexpectedly, even when initially disruptive.

Uranus is in the determined and steady Earth sign of Taurus, a sign that is slow to change.

Most definitely, Taurus does not do well with unexpected change.  Yet ultimately, breakthroughs and liberation are on the table both personally and collectively.

Uranus is the creative genius in the sky, responsible for flashes of brilliant intuitive insight and eccentricity.

When this planet is retrograde (which it will be until January 2020) – it is time to go within and tap into the creative genius in all of us.  We have five months of positive and potential breakthroughs.

Questions to ponder while Uranus is retrograde are:

What makes me special?

What makes me unique?

Am I expressing my true self, warts and all?

Am I living for me, or am I living for what others expect of me?

This retrograde is going to highlight the ways in which we can feel restricted, and where we crave our freedom.

Above all else, Uranus ‘the awakener’, cannot stand to be boxed in or held back.  This is the planet of independance.

Our finances and our self-worth can come up for reevaluation as well under this retrograde.

Remember, most of the time that we are feeling ‘not good enough’, it is only ourselves, our ego, that is getting in the way.

Looking to the root of those feelings can ultimately free you.  Uranus = freedom.

We have a Full Moon in Aquarius on 8/15 as well and Mercury is finally out of the waters of Cancer and into the outwardly expressive sign of Leo.  Communication with others and the way we speak to ourselves begins to feel lighter, less soggy, less emotionally volatile.

To Sage means to cleanse.

Emotionally, physically and spiritually, when you burn sage you are creating space for healing.

Sage is an herb commonly known for its use in cooking.  The sage we are talking about here is White American Burning Sage, a different form of sage which cleanses and purifies people, spaces and items.

While Native American sage burning is the most commonly recognized form of it today, it has indeed become a shared practice in cultures all over the world.

First let’s talk about why you should sage.

Burning sage is one of the oldest and purest methods of cleansing a person, group of people or space.  Sage is known to remove unwanted energy and clear away any bad ‘ju-ju’.

White American Sage is the one you should use, and you can purchase it at any new age shop, online, or even your local Whole Foods in the supplements section.

There is a great online store where I purchase mine, https://www.shamansmarket.com/ It is the most authentic & powerful I have found.

Sage burning cleansing rituals can be as elaborate or as simple as you want them to be, but it’s of the highest importance that your intention be clear before you begin.

If you are burning sage to purify a space, or a person (this includes yourself) then this needs to be clearly planted in your mind before you the light the sage, and while taking the smoke around a home, or through a space.

While ‘saging’ around yourself or another, please be sure to go from the top of the head and work your way down, as to purify the energy through and then out.

It’s also a great idea to sage a new piece of jewelry after purchase , or any new trinket so that the only energy on it is yours.  As you can tell, I am a bit sage happy! 🙂

I light sage before and after reading for any client. I set my intention before to clear myself for the reading, and then after to clear the space and myself of the previous clients energy, getting ready for the next client.

I also sage my cards & crystals after each use.

Once a week, and often daily, I go through my home ‘saging’ all of the corners in each room. Extreme? Maybe, but the space and me always feel lighter afterwards.

After you light the sage, be careful not to breathe it in directly and remember: A little bit goes a long way, you don’t want to smoke yourself out!

Clear your mind as you walk through your space with the sage and allow your intuition to guide you to the areas that need the most cleansing.

This will mostly be the areas with the heaviest foot traffic i.e.- the front doorway , your sleeping & working areas, etc…. like I mentioned earlier once a week is perfect but feel free to do it more than that.

Those are the basics!  Pretty simple practice yet highly effective.  This is truly very healing and cleansing, give it a try..
