Full Moon Meditation in the Sign of Aries 2019

By |2019-11-11T18:43:38+00:00March 17th, 2019|Full Moon Meditation|

This month the sun enters the sign of Aries on March 20th, the same day as the Spring Equinox and the full moon. So, therefore this is a most potent full moon. We also have another full moon within this same Aries/Libra cycle. The full moon occurs on April 19th, when we will celebrate the Festival of Easter. Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac. Thus we are beginning a new cycle of creativity and manifestation.

Full Moon Meditation: Pisces 2019

By |2019-11-11T18:45:38+00:00February 16th, 2019|Full Moon Meditation|

This month we are invited to balance the energies of the Pisces sun with the Virgo moon. Water and earth join in an attempt to move with the fluidity of water while still keeping our feet on Mother Earth. Pisces always envisions the mystical, the highest possibility, and the ideal manifestation. Virgo says, “That’s all good, but you also live in physical reality and must obey the laws of nature.” How do you engage with the earth energies to help you manifest your Piscean visions?

Beginnings, Endings, and the January 2019 Solar Eclipse

By |2019-01-04T01:45:05+00:00January 4th, 2019|Astrology|

Eclipses always portend endings or beginnings, a birth of some sort or a death. It could be an actual death, but more likely it is a death of a way of life, or an institution or a closely held belief. Because this eclipse is in the sign of Capricorn we can expect that the ending or beginning will be around  Capricornian themes. Capricorn is an earth sign so staying grounded in physical reality will be important. Organizing your every day life is another important energy of Capricorn so this is a good time to make sure your days are organized around what is most important to you. 

Full Moon in the Sign of Capricorn 2018

By |2019-05-10T00:50:07+00:00December 21st, 2018|Full Moon Meditation|

This month we come together to celebrate two very powerful events, the full moon in Capricorn, and the Winter Solstice. The Winter Solstice occurs on December 21st when the Sun enters the sign of Capricorn at 2:23pm (PST) The very next day we have the Cancer full moon happening at 9:48am. (PST) These two events transpiring so close to one another makes the astrological aspects even more potent.

Full Moon Meditation – Sagittarius 2018

By |2019-11-11T18:55:03+00:00November 21st, 2018|Full Moon Meditation|

Whenever the Sun enters the sign of Sagittarius, I take a deep breath. Ahhhh,  it feels liberating and free.  After the dark underworld of Scorpio, we arise into a new dawn with vision and hope. We have cleared away whatever the darkness revealed, and we stand poised and ready to embody a higher purpose. Sagittarius offers us the opportunity to reclaim the larger perspective, the higher aspiration.

Virgo Full Moon – 25 August 2018

By |2019-11-11T18:58:03+00:00August 24th, 2018|Full Moon Meditation|

Pisces can be self-sacrificing when it is not in touch with the larger picture. The full moon on the Pisces/Virgo axis is about service. This is not necessarily about participating in some worthwhile activity. It is about radiating the light that is within us into our daily life. It is a natural expression of the activity of the Soul.
