Virgo New Moon

By |2019-05-10T01:22:31+00:00August 30th, 2016|New Moon|

This month the new moon in Virgo falls on Thursday, September 1st, at 2:03am (PDT) Just 5 minutes later there is a solar eclipse. Just 15 days later we have a lunar eclipse in Virgo’s opposite sign, Pisces. Then the fall equinox occurs on September 22nd. So, this is a power packed month. Eclipses come in pairs and can mark major endings or beginnings, shifts in power, and sometimes they help create lasting changes in our lives. Since these eclipses occur in the sign of Virgo and Pisces we will be presented with opportunities to learn discernment, to take charge of our own healing, to remember how we are all one. Virgo knows how to heal through her connection to the earth’s wisdom. Pisces lives in the waters and washes away any wounds of separation so we may live in the knowing of our deep connection to others.

Leo Full Moon Meditation

By |2019-05-10T01:15:38+00:00August 18th, 2016|Full Moon Meditation|

This month we meet the energy of Leo whose ruling planet is the Sun, our life force. Because there is more life force energy available to us right now we are invited to move outward, to express, to illumine. These are all Leo qualities. Leo is a great teaching sign so we take our creative gifts and bring them out into the world. We need to invoke Aquarius to help us here. Aquarius is the sign opposite Leo at the time of the full moon. Aquarius is all about distribution, integration and group consciousness as opposed to the Leo personality who is self- conscious, (focused only on himself).

Leo New Moon

By |2019-05-10T01:22:38+00:00July 30th, 2016|New Moon|

This new moon in the sign of Leo focuses on the themes of creativity, Light, Love, and trusting our inner guidance. Leo was born to create, to bring the light within out into the world and shine. With the Sun as it’s ruler, Leo can be a brilliant force of light and love in the world.
