Hey All,

Here we are, in the middle of August.

‘As above so below’.

This past Thursday 8/13, we had a strong planetary aspect that took place (which we are still feeling).

Mars which is heat, action, fighting, movement- faced off with Pluto which is deep transformation, skeletons coming out of the closet, and change.

This is about power, control and surrender and will happen two more times before the end of 2020.

More significantly Uranus (the planet of innovation and change, the shape shifting, lightning bolt planet) is stationing retrograde today 8/15 until early 2021.

Before you read the rest of this post, before you go on to watch my video, I invite you to take a moment right here.

Look at this peaceful picture and imagine yourself on this boat, relaxing in quiet contemplation.

Take a few deep breaths, clear your mind and just think about the last month, the last six weeks.

How are you feeling about what is/has been going on for you personally?

Take another deep breath and ponder for a moment how you feel about what has been going on globally.

I invite you to keep this in mind as you listen to my words so that you truly feel them.

If this helps you somehow or brings clarity, hope, awareness?  Then my job is done for today.

No doom and gloom, no negativity….simply truth and enlightenment in a time of potential uncertainty and confusion.

May this provide you with some peace and direction, even if that direction takes you to stillness and inaction.

Much Love,

Lisa

 

 

 

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 ,

Lisa

 

 

‘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 more on the current energy, video below.

Much Love,

Lisa
