The moon sits in alignment between the Earth and the Sun during the New Moon. The side of the moon that receives the light from the sun faces away from us, and so the moon is not visible to us during this phase of the moon cycle. The New Moon is the beginning of the lunar cycle and offers us the energetic gift of initiating the new. So, the ideas and intentions that are set during the new moon will germinate and take root so that they can bloom at the full moon in two week’s time.
The Sun, Earth and Moon are again aligned during the Full Moon, however the Earth now lies between the Sun, and moon. The side of the moon that receives the light from the sun faces us and so the the moon is fully visible. The Full Moon represents manifestation and completion and offers us the energy of fulfillment, manifestation, and connection. So, those ideas and intentions that were planted during the new moon two weeks ago can now blossom or be harvested.
Today’s Moon Phase
Moon Cycle
Scorpio New Moon 2016
This new moon in Scorpio finds us entertaining the energies of Scorpio, who loves nothing better than the mystery, the unknown, the darkness. She moves in like a detective, ready to unveil all that is hidden and secretive, that which is below the surface. She will not rest until she discovers the deepest, underlying message beneath all the subterfuge.
Libra Full Moon Meditation

Virgo 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
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).
