Full Moon in Fiery Leo

Full moon in fiery Leo, the regal sign of self love.

When the world has gone mad, it’s time to go to ground and love up yourself until you find peace within once again.

🌙

“We must belong to ourselves before we belong anywhere else. When we betray ourselves to fit in, be liked, not cause problems, avoid discomfort, sidestep conflict, or not disappoint people,
we break our own hearts.”
~Brenè Brown

Aquarius New Moon and Year of the Wood Snake

New moon in airy Aquarius, the visionary. Mercury and Pluto are also in Aquarius, stirring things up and bringing our shadows into the light.

Aquarius is all about creating unity for all beings here on Earth, despite our differences. Aquarius reminds us of our shared humanity.

🌙

Today also marks the beginning of the Chinese and Tibetan year of the wood snake.

Yin wood snake represents the embodied Divine Feminine who knows her worth, her power and her magic. Snake is deeply connected to Mama Earth. She moves intuitively, quietly and intentionally through the world.

Snake will observe all before making a decisive strike at the right moment. She is always evolving – shedding old skins for new ways of being.

New Moon, New Year

Earthy new moon in Capricorn. And a new year is on the horizon.

Make room for deep inner reflection. Consider what has been in the past, then let it go with love and gratitude.

It’s time to lay the foundation for a new chapter in your story. What do you want to create going forward?

Mystical Gemini Full Moon

In honor of this full moon in Gemini, a magical poem by Mary Oliver…

Moon and Water

I wake and spend
the last hours
of darkness
with no one

but the moon.
She listens
to my complaints
like the good

companion she is
and comforts me surely
with her light.
But she, like everyone,

has her own life.
So finally I understand
that she has turned away,
is no longer listening.

She wants me
to refold myself
into my own life.
And, bending close,

as we all dream of doing,
she rows with her white arms
through the dark water

Earthy Full Moon

Full moon in earthy Taurus and things are crazy! Everything is stirred up and nothing is as it seems.

Ground, ground, ground.
Get outside and walk, sit or lie on the Earth.
Breathe and ground.

And the bees have a message for us:

Hush now. The wounds run deep,
but the bees are full of knowing.

They know the hive of your heart,
each crooked curled chamber
each hopeful hidden curve,
each darkened holding cell.

They have come with wings and song and pollen.
They have come to harvest each mistake
each broken vessel, to touch the jagged edges
of betrayal and lost chances,
to collect your failures one by one,
making honey from the bitter
making music in the void
making wings where there were wounds.

Hush now. Sleep well.
The night is alive with forgiveness
and your heart is a hive
made for honey made for love.

Samhain New Moon

Samhain Fire

New moon in watery Scorpio, the sign of the shaman, witch, sorcerer

This is also the time of Samhain – an ancient Celtic holiday in honor of our ancestors and all that has passed. Samhain marks the start of the dark half of the year in the northern hemisphere.

Now is the time to plunge into the depths of self and Soul. Examine and honor what came before and acknowledge your part in it all.

Light a candle and say a prayer for your ancestors who made your life possible.
