Today, Friday 12/7 we have our last New Moon Of The Year in the fiery, optimistic sign of Sagittarius.

This is a very magical and auspicious New Moon, but not without some tension, naturally! 

This Moon takes place at 2:20AM EST.

Just like the Moon, we go through phases.

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-Sagittarius.

Renewal of hope, faith, optimism, truth, growth and expansion – this is all Sagittarius.  This is the flavor of the final New Moon of the year.

Where have you fallen short of your personal goals in 2018?  What have you allowed that you no longer wish to continue?  Where can you afford to be a little more genuine?  Are you living in your truth, owning your personal power?  All of these questions and more come up at this time as the energy peaks.

2018 has been a year of major introspection about ourselves and our relationships- and it has not always been easy!

Going into 2019, you should have a pretty good idea of what type of picture you wish to paint for the next year- and if you don’t?  Well, that’s ok as Sagittarius is all about finding our spiritual center and following our faith.  Our faith really can move mountains.

Remember, you do not need approval from anyone or anything outside of yourself.  Keep moving, keep growing and keep changing as no two persons journey is the same.

Be sure to sit quietly and contemplate where you are on your current journey, as this last New Moon of the year is a wonderful time to meditate and manifest.

Light a candle, make a list of what you wish to bring in over the next year.  Speak into existence all that you desire.  Keep the paper until the Full Moon on 12/22, where you can burn it along with all you wish to release.  Until then, read it and read it often.

Words are power, thoughts are power so keep those intentions pure .

Mercury has finally gone direct as of yesterday 12/6, but it is still in shadow until 12/24..so we are not totally out of the woods yet!  Travel and communication can and may, still be affected so stay vigilant.

There is a mixed bag of planetary energy surrounding this time, affecting us all in different ways.  Some very helpful and supportive, while some are adding a bit of tension and friction. 

Why not add a little spice for the holidays, right?  

Mars our warrior/action planet, is in alignment with the dreamy and sometimes deceptive, Neptune.  This aspect is creating a bit of confusion and paranoia.

Furthermore, this New Moon is squaring Mars/Neptune ramping up the energy and potentially, causing anger and aggression.  We may feel edgy and uncertain, and on the verge of blowing-up.

Be sure that what you are getting worked up about is based on facts and not illusion!  Whenever Neptune is involved, ‘smoke and mirrors’ can get the best of us.  

On the positive side, this Mars/Neptune/Moon connection is fabulous for creative and spiritual work of all kinds.  Singing, acting, writing, dancing, painting- you name it.  Creative juices should be flowing so don’t waste the energy if inspiration strikes!

More on this New Moon and the current energy coming up over the next few days….

Peace & Love,

December is here and the holidays are upon us!

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year”…right?  Well, not exactly, and not for everyone.

While this time of year is often filled with smiles, good cheer and festivities, for some they would rather crawl into a cave and not come out until the New Year.

Guess what?  That doesn’t make them the Grinch or Grumpy either.  Before you assume or judge , think about this.

A lot of people are missing loved ones that are no longer here, making it extremely difficult to breathe sometimes, let alone go out and celebrate on the holidays.  Be respectful.

Some are very financially strapped and cannot afford all of these gifts they feel obligated to buy.  Don’t push.

Depression is very real, and very ramped up around the holidays.  If you have a co-worker, friend or acquaintance that spends the holidays alone, invite them over, you may just save their life.  You never know what type of pain hides behind smiles.  Be kind and gracious always.

Love your parents, love your siblings.  These people can test you like no other, but they are the glue that will always help keep you together.  If you are fighting with family, remember that one day they won’t be around.

Not to get all ‘woo woo’ here, but our family are our karma positively and negatively.  We chose them to learn very valuable lessons about ourselves and others.  To learn to  love, learn to fight, and more importantly- to learn to forgive.  Stay in your heart.

About forgiveness…make peace where and if you need to, as it will help you live more freely.  Also, look at your part in the dynamics of your relationships.  Be honest- it is not always about the other(s).

Check yourself.  Sometimes you are acting out the more negative, unreasonable role.  I’m referring to relatively healthy relationships here.  If you are dealing with a toxic person or people, then by all means protect yourself, no exception. *At times you must keep your distance to preserve your emotional health.

Speaking of taking care of yourself this holiday season….

Do not go somewhere if you don’t feel comfortable.  When we do things strictly out of obligation, it robs us of joy.  Stay authentic and only go where you feel loved and welcomed, reasonably.

Don’t spend more money than you have!  I’m speaking to myself here too.  It is so easy to get caught up in buying gifts for everyone, believe me I know.  But at the end of the day, your time is worth more weight in gold than any present ever could be.  You do not need to go into credit card debt shopping for presents, especially if you have a large family and/or a lot of friends.

I have learned this with my Nieces and Nephews, and I have eight of them.  I would rather (and I’m sure they feel this way to and will feel it more as they grow), hang out with them and give them tons of affection (yes I’m the annoying Aunt that slobbers them with kisses and asks for hugs constantly) 😉 then buy them the shiniest new toy that they won’t remember in five years.  What they will know and remember is that I am always here for them, they will feel it.  Experiences are worth more than ‘things’.

Bonus:  they are also very therapeutic for me, with their amazing little personalities.  They are all so different and I enjoy them so much.  Self-Care right there!  I could be in the worst mood ever, but seeing their little faces get excited when I come to the door?  Priceless, they bring so much fun and joy to me.  

Last but not least- eating/drinking.   Sorry I need to add this.  Sure, live a little.  Eat those cookies, drink that wine, be jolly.  Just don’t go crazy!  It is always harder to take it off then put it on!

It is very easy to go off the wagon at this time of year and as we all know, sometimes ‘tomorrow I will stop’ becomes a perpetual cycle.  Keep up with your work outs, enjoy yourself.  Indulge, but do so in moderation and don’t beat yourself up for the extra cheesecake you ate.  Learn from it and move forward.

Just because you’re busy does not mean it’s ok to neglect yourself.  Make sure you get some exercise, light or moderate does not matter, just do something.  It will keep your mind right and your body happy.  Plus, you won’t feel so bad indulging a bit as we all do at this time of year!

Speaking of exercise-be sure to also carve out at least fifteen minutes a day to do, well, nothing!  Doesn’t matter if nothing means sitting on the couch and staring into space, just make that promise to yourself to take some time daily ‘to just be’.  You are not the energizer bunny, and you too need to recharge your batteries.  

I have decided to extend my Reiki Sale until the New Year since it has gotten such a positive response, so if you are interested in this deal, please take advantage!  Click here and scroll down to ‘Reiki Bundle Five-Pack’.

Don’t forget that a Gift Certificate for a reading is also a great gift and those are available here- make sure you scroll down to the ‘Gift Certificate’ section.

Take good care of yourself!

Today, Friday 11/23 as of 12:39 AM EST, we have a very potent Full Moon in the sign of the twins- versatile and communicative Gemini.

Anything goes!  Emotions are all over the place as we scramble between our heads (hello Mercury Retrograde) and our hearts (Moon).

Testy Testy, we may be!

On the bright side, Mercury is also conjunct planet Jupiter, which really helps put the pieces together for us in our minds.  A bigger picture emerges, we gain a bit of clarity amongst the flurry of energy.

So, why are Full Moons so impactful?

Full Moons are a time where the Sun is literally opposite the Moon in the sky.  This highlights the polarities in our lives, and we may feel a tug-of-war between our head and our hearts.

Spiritually the Sun represents our body, our ego, while the Moon represents our soul, our inner-nature.

When the Moon is full, there are literal surges of energy, energy that can sometimes hit us like a ton of bricks, and take us down when we least expect it.  Think about crying for no apparent reason, disrupted sleep patterns, irritability, and even extreme giddiness.

The flavor changes month to month dependent on the signs of the Sun and Moon, and the planetary aspects surrounding the lunation.

One thing always remains the same : Full Moons are a time of culmination and release.

The Moon rules the subconscious, that which is concealed beneath the surface.  Everything comes up under Full Moon energy.

This Full Moon is at 0 degrees of Gemini, the very beginning of the sign which makes it that much more impactful.  This energy is electric!

Gemini is the sign of communication.  Mercury , Geminis ruler, is the planet of communication and it is retrograde in its opposite sign of Sagittarius right now.  This highlights the need to really watch your thoughts, watch your words!

There could be a major disconnect as to what we are thinking we are saying versus what others are actually hearing.  Be very careful making statements, making points.

Sometimes it is better to just stay silent rather than prove you are right- this is the theme of the next two weeks.

This Full Moon is making a square (frictional aspect) to planet Mars, really heating things up and adding a combative and competitive edge to the energy.

Mars is fire and the Moon is emotion- digest that.  Channel your energy properly if you feel you might go off the edge a bit.  Handle your frustrations in a controlled manner so that things do not get out of hand.

Remember, Gemini is represented by the Twins, and the keyword for this sign is duality, two.

It is ok to not ‘pick a lane’ right now, it is ok to feel torn.  Through these feelings, eventually your soul will call you to where you need to be.

While Gemini (air) asks us to stay in our heads and analyze, figure it out, the Sun in Sagittarius (fire) asks is to go into our heart.

There’s the duality, but there’s the answer.

Where the mind can make you feel crazy, is where your heart will never lie.  Always trust that and the puzzle pieces come together.

Under this Full Moon energy, release that which no longer serves you.  Get into a quiet space, make a list and then burn it and send it out into the universe.

Happy Full Moon!

Peace & Love,

Lisa

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and Happy Birthday to all our Sagittarius peeps out there!

Today, 11/22 Sun shifts from the intense Waters of Scorpio into the optimistic and freedom-loving sign of the Archer, Sagittarius.

The celestial tone becomes a bit more light hearted, more fun loving as we desire lots of socializing and communication.  

Right in time for the holidays!

Sagittarius falls under the element of Fire.  *Our other Fire signs are Aries and Leo.

This sign is quite energetic and desires fun above all else.

Sagittarius is also a mutable sign – meaning changeable and adaptable. * Our other mutable signs are Pisces, Gemini and Virgo.

Sagittarius season is the time we search for our spiritual truth ..this is the sign of the teacher, the student and the philosopher, all rolled into one.  This sign never stops seeking and is constantly on a quest to know more, be more, do more.

After all of the intensity over these last six weeks, it can stand to be a bit more light-hearted, no?!

The Sagittarian vibe tends to be care-free, laid back, and ready for some light hearted fun, all while acquiring knowledge throughout the process.

They are ruled by planet Jupiter, after all- being all about growth, abundance, fun and expansion.  Important to mention that Jupiter has recently entered its home-sign of Sagittarius until December of 2020- this is good news for all of us!  Expect a little divine help where you may have been coming up blank.

Sagittarius rules the Ninth House (9th) in astrology, and is all about philosophy, higher learning, our values and the higher mind.  Our belief system.  It is also the ninth (9th) sign of the zodiac.

The bottom line of this sign is that they wish to learn the true meaning of life- all the while feeling free and easy along the way.  This is what Sagittarius season is all about.

At their most positive– they are intelligent, funny, good listeners and good friends, honest and loyal.  Always up for an adventure, open minded and free-spirited.  This sign is quite optimistic and typically looks at the bright side of life.

At their most negative– they are careless and take unnecassary risks.  They can be brutally honest to the point of hurting people, yet when delivered tactfully, their honesty is very much appreciated.  They can also be rather impatient, inconsistent, and over-confident.

               The Tarot Card that Sagittarius rules is number XIV ( 14 )  Temperance

This card is all about balance and moderation.  Yin-Yang.  The coming together and merging of opposing energies.

Just like Sagittarius, this card is optimistic and hopeful.  Note that the image on the card has one foot in the water, and one foot on the earth?  This is a reminder to have fun, yes, but to also keep your wits about you!

This card is also here to remind us especially as we enter the holiday and Sagittarius season, that moderation is key in every area.  Especially alcohol.  Again, notice the cups in the image? 😉

Remaining centered and grounded is key at this time, as it seems that it is so difficult to be mindful and present lately.

The message here is to remain hopeful – balance is everything.  Maintain your faith even when it is most difficult to do.  Be thankful for all that is good in your world and if you look around, there is always something to be grateful for.

Be on the lookout for some ‘Black Friday’ specials this weekend and another video for a potent Full Moon tomorrow/ Mercury Retrograde !

Peace & Love,

Lisa
