We have a New Moon tonight 10/8 as of 11:47 PM EST, in the sign of balance, Libra.

New Moons represent new beginnings.

A New Moon marks the beginning of the lunar cycle, the movement of the moon through its different phases.

It is also a time of initiation, fresh energy and manifestation.  It is a great time for a new start, a time to begin projects of all kinds.  

The Sun aligns with the Moon in the sky when it’s a New Moon.

Both the Sun and the Moon are in the sign of Libra right now and Libra rules the 7th house in Astrology.  The 7th house rules our partnerships, our intimate relationships.  The 7th house is also the house of open enemies.

Libra wants peace, Libra wants equality, and Libra loves love.  

Libra is a sign ruled by planet Venus, the Goddess of Love- this should feel good, right?  Well…not exactly.

Remember, Venus began her retrograde trek into the underworld of Scorpio as of 10/5, three days prior to this New Moon.  *Important to note that the Full Moon on 10/24 falls in Taurus, also ruled by Venus which is still retrograde…can we say impactful?

Relationships, partnerships and triggers. 

The microscope is on all of these- transformation is abound.  Inner and/or outer, it is all about growth at the end of the day.

Growth is not always comfortable!  This is still a New Moon, all about manifesting and abundance, and there are quite a few positives to be found here as well, but not without digging deep.

PS- I meant to say 11:47, but I said 9:47 in the video.  Woops, my bad…..

I love October.  

Ah, my favorite month of the year.  The air gets crispy, we experience chilly mornings and evenings, the smell of burnt leaves and fire, apple & pumpkin everything, and Halloween!  What more could you ask for?

The vibe of October can be described right now as intense yet chill at the same time.  

How can this be?

Well, we are under Libra energy which keeps us trying to be as diplomatic as possible.  Libra is all about light-hearted exchanges and peaceful relationships.

Alas, relationships are the focus right now, but October is looking like it may just be anything but peaceful where relationships are concerned.

Why is this?  

Whatever dance the planets are engaging in at any given time, they do affect us ‘down’here’, down here in our psyches, down here in our physical bodies.

When one or more of these planets reverse direction, known as retrograde, the energy intensifies.  The energy turns inward forcing us to focus, reevaluate and realign.

As of 10/5, the bright planet of Venus, the morning star, is going retrograde for 40 days.  Venus is the planet that rules love and finances.  She will turn direct on 11/16.  

Venus is the third brightest object in the sky, the brightest after the Sun and the Moon.

Venus affects us deeply, she influences how we give and receive love, and when she changes direction, she changes our life too.

Venus transforms.

If you have been following astrology, than you are likely aware that Venus has been very visible from her perch in the sky these past few months, as she was getting ready for her retrograde debut.

This happens once every eighteen-months, for six weeks.  She is impactful, this little Goddess.

Venus is how we love, it is who we love, it is what keeps us safe and happy.  Not comfortable, but happy, there is a difference.  Venus is our pleasure principle.  Venus also rules our money and our creativity.  These areas are also highlighted at this time.  

Venus is currently residing in the sign of Libra, where she is quite lovely and content.

When Venus goes retrograde, she will be in the deep and transformative Water sign of Scorpio.

Scorpio= intensity, passion, our deepest wants and desires, what we love and what we loathe.  The secrets that we keep, all that is taboo- this is Scorpio.

Planet Venus does not feel safe in Scorpio, as issues come bubbling up at this time.

Relationships are tested as we struggle to find and maintain our footing, to assert ourselves for ourselves, to find the bottom line.  To uncover the truth regardless of what we find, or do not find.  *This can be something about yourself as well, does not have to be about ‘the other’, nor is this applicable to relationships, only.

Keep in mind, that if you channel this intense energy constructively, something wonderful can come out of it.  Retrogrades are a time to go inward, to reflect.

Can you feel the energy build up?

Calm, slow, simmer, boil, release…..this is what the next few weeks will feel like!

Libra season begins officially as of Saturday, 9/22.

Libra is an Air Sign that is all about balance, order, fairness and equality.  Doing the right thing above all else is highlighted under Libra energy.

We are also entering the time of the Autumn Equinox, which is the same day the Sun enters Libra, 9/22.  This Equinox is all about, you guessed it, balance and equality in all areas.

At this time of year, there is an equal amount of darkness and light for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. 

Consequently, on the soul level, there is an equal amount of darkness and light.  The darkness is not negative by any means, it is simply the shadow side, the Moon, the side that is eclipsed by the light, the side that may be kept hidden even from ourselves.

Our conscious and our sub-conscious are working together to help us to integrate it all; to bring forth what needs to come to the surface and to release.

Dreams are a huge part of this, so be sure to write them down if/when you remember them.

The leaves change colors and release from the trees at this time of year reminding us that “there is a season turn, turn, turn”.  Change is inevitable, but true beauty and richness come from change.

Everything is connected and timelines are no mistake, everything is working together with perfect accordance to the universe.  

There is also a very charged, fiery Full Moon in Aries on Monday, 9/24.  What speaks to your heart?  Are you honoring your feelings?

If you have the Sun, Moon or Ascendant in Aries, or any of the other Cardinal signs (Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) you will be feeling this energy that much more.

*To find you chart placements for free, go to this website,  and click on ‘extended chart selection’.  Your exact time of birth is necassary.  You can also have this done through me if you would like a full reading/interpretation to go along with it.  

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

The conscious and the unconscious are sparring for our attention at this time.

Full Moons are 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.

This Aries Full Moon can bring about some feelings of loneliness and/or depression, as our soul brings forth painful past memories and experiences.

Planet Saturn and Chiron are responsible for this, working with this Full Moon.  Saturn wants us to learn through experience and responsibility, while Chiron wants us to remember our feelings of unworthiness no matter how minor, feel them and ultimately, heal.

We long to forget certain things, but with this strong energy it becomes near impossible to ignore what comes up.

If you are already feeling low, take care and watch your physical and mental health more closely now.  Awareness is half the battle!  Talk things through with a trusted friend or counselor.  There is always someone that is happy to be there for you!

Crystals, also interchangeably referred to as Gemstones, are powerful little healing accompaniments.

Spiritually, emotionally and physically, Crystals can truly detoxify, relax and empower you.

Athletes are even flocking to their magical powers to help them with their sleep,  stamina , and even to help enhance their chances of winning competitions and games!

This is not a trend or a fad, Crystals have been used for ages in healing practices.

I have been working with Crystals for many years, and I can promise you, they do work with the proper care and intention.

Remember: intention is everything. 

 I have seen with my own eyes, how Crystal healing has helped with skin issues and more serious things such as shrinking a tumor, how they have helped with bad dreams and insomnia.  It is not BS.

I am not saying that Crystals cure everything or even anything, but they sure do help.

There are many different crystals, and they all have different properties, functions and healing components.

Crystals are specimens and minerals that are derived from the earth.  You always want to buy them from a reputable source, such as a well-known online retailer, or a legit spiritual shop that carries them.

I am going to be honest with you and there are no exceptions- they do not work if they are not real.

Unfortunately, many people dye glass specimens, and try to pass them off as Crystals.  Or even worse, they take the real Crystal, and file and polish it down so much, that the power of the Crystal is very weak, and has been tampered with way too much to carry forward its original, powerful energy.

So if you are serious about trying out some Crystals, let me give you some reputable online resources that I have personally purchased from, links below.

I love this company

Are you curious about Crystals/Gemstones?  Are you drawn to specific ones?

The ones you are drawn to are not random- that is your soul telling you there is something in that stone for you!

A vibration that you need to work with, a part of you that needs some extra TLC, an addiction you need help kicking, etc.

There really is a Crystal for everything.

Want to learn more about these beautiful energy amplifiers?  Then this workshop is for you!

Did you know, that aside from being stunningly vibrant and beautiful, all of these different Crystals (and there are literally, thousands) have specific healing properties?

There are also very specific ways you can choose your Crystals and sometimes, the Crystal chooses you!

Cleaning and caring for your Crystals is very important as well- we will also talk about this at the workshop.

If you are in the NY, Westchester County area, you should definitely check out this two-hour, introductory workshop held at The Temperance Center on Sunday, 9/30.
