Manifesting with the Moon: The Magic Behind Each Major Lunar Phase

The Moon in Astrology: 

In astrology the Moon represents our innermost emotional nature and subconscious mind. In relation to our natal chart the moon symbolizes the Mother, or a nurturing force in our life. 

When working with the Moon for manifestation it is important to note that the Moon moves in cycles very similar to that of a woman. In astrology there are four main lunar phases that we tend to work with: the New Moon, First Quarter Moon, Full Moon, and Last (third) Quarter Moon. Each moon phase occurs on a seven-day interval making a complete lunar cycle typically four-weeks. 

Each moon phase is equipped with their own unique characteristics. They all work together to complete a unified whole. 

The Moon typically changes signs every 2-3 days. The Moon is the fastest orbiting celestial body in our solar system (hence our fast changing moodiness as humans). 

Waning and Waxing: the ebb and flow of the moon 

Before we discuss each specific Moon phase in detail it is important to understand the difference between a waxing Moon and waning Moon. 

When the moon is “waxing” it is growing brighter in illumination until the Full Moon is reached. The New Moon and First Quarter Moon are waxing phases. When the moon is waxing we are more excitable, nervous, and optimistic. The moon always waxes on the right, showing a dark shadow on the left. This is an introverted time. 

When the moon is “waning” it is reducing (dimming) into the “darkness” until the New Moon is reached. The days after a Full Moon and Last Quarter Moon are waning phases. When the moon is waning we are more reserved, tired, and satisfied. The moon always wanes on the left, showing a dark shadow on the right. This is an extroverted time. 

The Four Day rule: 

In astrology, there is a common belief (one that I have observed and stand behind) that the effects of any planetary transit, aspect, or cosmic energy is at its most intense four days before and four days after the event is said to occur. 

When manifesting or working with any celestial body or cosmic event this rule should be noted and applied. 

New Moon: a time to dream (plant the seed)

Waxing phase: During this phase the illuminated side of the moon is obscured (facing the sun). During this time we can only see the dark half of the moon. This is why it is called the New or Dark moon. The New Moon is represented by the conjunction between the Sun and Moon. 

The New Moon phase is a time of dreaming. This phase is the perfect time to plant a new seed that you would like to see blossom over the duration of the lunar cycle. This period illuminates the subconscious mind and brings new ideas to the surface. However, this is not a time to expect overnight success. This is a dark moon. Others are not as receptive to change and new ideas, but it is a perfect time to start a new cycle or project that will gain traction under the illumination of the Full Moon. Think of this as the wait and see Moon. 

Things to do under the New Moon:

• Be still and listen to your intuition. Receive any soul downloads with an open heart and mind.

• Commit to starting a new cycle in your life. 

• Be optimistic but don’t be blind. Do not sign any contracts or jump into partnerships that sound over promising. Wait it out.

• This is a test trial phase. If you want to experiment, this is the best time to do it. But don’t expect dramatic results. People tend to be in their own heads at this time. Your idea or launch may be easily misunderstood or disregarded. This same energy applies at the Last (Third) Quarter Moon 

First Quarter Moon: a time of cultivation (water the seed)

Waxing phase: During this phase of the moon, the right side of the moon is illuminated and the left side of the moon is shadowed and appears dark. The First Quarter Moon is represented by the waxing square and Sextile between the Sun and Moon. 

The First Quarter Moon phase is a time of putting the dream into motion. This phase is perfect for putting in the groundwork to making your new Moon intention a reality. More than likely whatever seed you planted will begin to gain traction under this phase, but the results and momentum will come from your own initiative. It’s important to understand that this phase promotes enthusiasm and competition. We naturally will start to attract energies that match what we are trying to create; don’t be intimidated or discouraged. Think of this attraction as Confirmation from the universe; either the idea is worth pursuing or its not. Take action if you want to see your hard work make an impact under the illumination of the Full Moon.

Things to do under the First Quarter Moon:

• Make a move. If you want something this is the moon phase to pursue it actively. 

• Avoid comparing yourself to others. Stay focused on the goals.

• If a relationship/partnership was started or expanded during the New Moon phase you will deal with obstacles now.

• This is launch time. Put your idea out there. 

Full Moon: a time to experience the dream (harvest the seed)

Waning phase: During this phase the illuminated side of the Moon is facing the Earth and the shadowed (dark) side of the Moon is facing space. In astrology, The Full Moon is represented as an opposition between the Sun and Moon. 

The Full Moon phase is a time of completion and intensity. This phase exposes the efforts of our intentions and how others (the universe) receives them. For many the Full Moon phase can represent a heightened point of tension and restlessness. The Full Moon is the perfect time to expect answers and clarity. It’s important to understand that the Full Moon is an opposition formed with the Sun. Many will feel start this cycle feeling excited, but by the end will feel exhausted and worn out. Use this period to bring the effects of your intention to light. 

Things to do under the Full Moon: 

• Ask for assistance on a situation that you need clarity on. 

• Try to stay calm and understand that things are coming into fruition. Be open to experience the fullness of this moment. 

• Be patient with others as we are all on edge and more emotional than usual.

• Celebrate. No matter what does or doesn’t happen this cycle is perfect for gatherings and group activities.

• Do not take everything so serious. Hidden secrets are coming out of the dark. Be honest and observe. 

Last Quarter Moon: a time to analyze and reflect (prepare the soil for a new harvest) 

Waning phase: During this phase of the moon, the left side of the moon is illuminated and the right side of the moon is shadowed and appears dark. The Last Quarter Moon is represented by the waning square and Sextile between the Sun and Moon.

The Last Quarter Moon phase is a time of reflection and release. Although this is a waning phase it is not one of stillness. The Last Quarter Moon is one of tying up loose ends, seeing what changes need to be made and actively making them. Whatever is finished now will expand during the next new Moon phase. During this Moon phase we may experience issues with money or debt. We are inspired to let go and release anything that weighs us down. The Last Quarter Moon phase is not the best time to launch anything new unless it is something that you announced during the First Quarter Moon phase. This is a time of cooperation and enjoyment. Think of this phase as graceful movement. Do not force. 

Things to do under the Last Quarter Moon:

• Wipe out any debt or withstanding bills. You won’t want the stress or burden during the New Moon. 

• Take time to reflect on the results of the last four weeks. What inspires you? What do you want to improve? What needs to be released? 

• Listen to the input of others. How does your New Moon intention make them feel? What changes do they suggest? Be open to compromise. 

• Make an announcement for something that you will launch during the next First Quarter or Full Moon. This is the perfect time to announce a new strategy or improvement that you noticed since the New Moon.

•  Clean out your home or living space. Seek inspiration. Prepare your soul, body, and mind to release and receive.

Full Moon in Scorpio - Horoscopes + Ritual

Happy Scorpio Full Moon, My love! Get ready for a plunge!! 

---

The history of Scorpio invokes the mythologies of death, mysticism, and psychology. Scorpio in one breath can accomplish what all the other signs combined cannot. However, this great strength comes at a great price. Scorpio’s Plutonian force is summoned from the depths of sorrow, misfortune, and spiritual awakening. In order for Scorpio to find its way through the underworld, it must first accept and channel the source and root cause of its feeling. Scorpio has to go where all the others fear. Scorpio is the sea which consumes the abyss of sacred knowledge and life experience. It is the well of life and death. 

When associated with the Moon, Scorpio takes on a deeper emotional quality. It’s fixed water energy uncovers our innermost deep-seated truths. We may crave more intimacy and transparency. We may fall victim to insecurity which births secrecy and malice. Emotions fluctuate between excessive and zen. But within it all, the Moon and Scorpio become one. Scorpio takes on the Moon’s fluidity and empathy for others, and together they accomplish powerful things.

Today’s Full Moon at 5:12 PM EST invokes the deepest parts of Scorpio. The moon will reach its fullness at 27’38°. This energy pulls us under, forces us to face the parts of our lives and selves that must die and be born again. Something that we least expect rocks us during the waning period of the Full moon (4-12 days after the full moon) . During this period, we should expect big emotions, ranging from the highest joys to the lowest of sorrows. But what we shouldn’t expect and speculate is how this will affect us, what comes next, why it happened, or what it means. Instead of rationalizing our emotions, we must FEEL them. 

The Full Moon should not be misjudged as Many of us have created personalities and stereotypes about how we should and will respond to certain situations, especially negative ones, but this only cuts us off from the present. Scorpio is fixed water, and we all know how unpredictable water is. This energy is slow moving and mysterious — there’s no escaping this one. We can’t out read it, smoke it, sex it, sleep it, eat it, whatever we are facing, we have to accept that it just is. Because when we lean into this energy, when we fall to our knees and bow, it SHIFTS! 

But what we have to learn as creators is that this isn’t a magic trick; manifestation is not a calculated science. Just because we say it once or twice doesn’t make it fact. We have to feel this out, ride whatever wave we are on, and learn from it the best way we can. 

Major themes For the 2019 Full Moon in Scorpio:

• A time of deep sexuality and desire for intimacy. Individuals may be engaging in lustful, passionate sex.

• A time to have close intimate gatherings with those you deeply trust and feel safe with.

• A time to perform spiritual rites of passage around death and living.

• A time of intensity and spoken and unspoken emotion.

• A time of possessiveness; a need to demonstrate or release control.

• A time to evaluate and access joint finances and ventures.

• A time of remembrance and ancestry. (This May show up as a deep attachment or resistance to let go of the past).

A ritual for the 2019 Full Moon in Scorpio

A ritual for this moon is submerging in water. Go to a pool, a pond, the ocean, the bathtub, a warm shower — however you can submerge or shower your body with moving water. Before you submerge imagine that you are covered in your feelings; imagine that they were your skin. When you submerge your body, imagine that you are washing it all away, and when you rise you are clear, pure, washed free of all that you are carrying. 

No matter what your belief system is, there is healing powers in the holiness of water. Today’s energy invites us to open to the purification of water and emotion. It asks us to let something go for good this time. It reminds us that there is no need to repeat the same dying pattern. We can choose to live life again.

Weekly Horoscopes for May 13 - May 19, 2019

This week begins with a heavy start. With the moon being in Virgo in the beginning of the week, work schedules tend to increase. However, by Tuesday when the Moon enters Libra we will be more balanced and equipped to handle the immense emotional wave of energy that will greet us starting on Wednesday.

Starting on Wednesday, relationships that were rocky or on the edge of passion and envy will find their happy place or break up. For the past three weeks, Venus has been in fiery Aries. This transit influenced more passion, independence, and outspokenness in our relationships. However, with Venus entering Taurus on Wednesday, May 15th until June, our relationships will start to run smoother, without all the fussiness. But this doesn’t mean that Taurus and Venus always see eye-to-eye. Venus is simply more calm in Taurus. Instead of feeling immense pressure to pleasure or woo someone, Venus in Taurus would rather just be close friends, take all the edge off. Couples will find themselves more relaxed during this period. Singles will use the Opportunity to splurge on themselves, and maybe catch a fancy dinner solo downtown.

Mars is the action man of the Milky-Way Galaxy. Mars embodies and symbolizes our actions and behaviors. It represents our life force energy and the means that we use to express it. Mars has been in Gemini for almost two-months. On Wednesday, May 15th, Mars will enter Cancer until July. Mars in Cancer is emotion at its most actionable state. This transit highlights our innate sensitivity towards others, especially family. When Mars is in Cancer, our actions are more sensual, intuitive, and emotionally colored. We tend to make decisions based on how we want to feel, or the good we want to see in others. With Saturn and Pluto Rx in Capricorn, and with the True Node already in Cancer, this transit could pose some issues for a healthy work/life balance. This transit could also encourage hyper-sensitivity. Be conscious of your reactions and your decisions, be careful not to fly off the deep end.

On Saturday, May 18th at 5:12 PM EST the Full Moon will occur at 27’38° Scorpio. The Full Moon signifies a time of manifestation, experience, tension, illumination, and exposure. The May Full Moon signifies the midpoint of the Taurus and Scorpio Lunar Cycle. This energy establishes a sense of personal power and internal transformation. Scorpio is often associated with death and the occult. Scorpio rules the 8th house of personal power and shared resources. The Full Moon encourages us to embody the revelation that we seek in our own lives. This Full Moon asks us to step fully into the alignment of our highest selves. What would happen if we surrendered to our limitless abilities? What would happen if we followed through on the changes we know we need? This Full Moon shows you a glimpse of that, what it feels and looks like to stand tall in who you are. Working with others could be challenging, especially if finances are involved. If you hit a roadblock, take a step back and evaluate where you are. Often we forget that our most powerful tool is our imagination. If you can believe it, you can be it. Sometimes you just have to dig inside yourself and remember who you are.

This transit highlights your desire to start new patterns in how you relate to others. Naturally, in relationships you are cool-spirited and down-to-Earth. This energy enhances that. Mars will also change signs and enter your 3rd house in Cancer until July. This seven-week cycle emphasizes your reluctance to express your emotions.

Weekly Horoscopes for March 25 - March 31, 2019

As we settle into the energy left for us by last week’s Full Moon in Libra and Virgo, we are ushered into a flow that is somewhat jostling, pushing us to be a better version of ourselves. There are several major cosmic transitions that occur this week, adding to an energetic shift that happens every time the month changes.

On Tuesday afternoon, March 26, 2019, Venus, the planet of of love, Justice, and Beauty will leave independent and thought-provoking Aquarius and enter sensual and creative Pisces until April 20, 2019. Venus in Pisces is a magical transit for lovers, artists, and parents as it induces a feeling of soul connection to our work, our relationships, and our higher selves. However, it’s important to be mindful that Pisces can be very sensitive. The Aries Sun May provoke this in negative ways if we are not mindful of others feelings when we voice are bold opinions. Nonetheless, this is a beautiful time to connect with those you love behind the scenes. With Mercury now direct in its Retrograde shadow zone for most of this transit, it would be wise to use this time to tune in to each other, you won’t regret it.

Mercury has been Retrograde since March 5, 2019. Mercury will station direct on Thursday morning, March 28, 2019. However, Mercury will not leave its Retrograde shadow zone until April 17, 2019, when Mercury leaves Pisces and enters Aries until May 20, 2019. It’s important to understand certain delays may still need some working through. Dedication, patience, and focus is required to be successful during this transit, as Pisces is subjective to get lost sometimes in their mental and emotional illusions.

If you want to make the most out of this transit, you need one or two clear goals. If you find yourself project hopping, you need to refocus. Your mantra for the next few weeks is “I consciously move forward with clear, focused, and single-minded intention.” There is no room for reckless distractions or unconscious errors. Stay grounded!

On Sunday, March 31, 2019, Mars, the planet of action and focused energy, leaves Taurus and enters Gemini until May 15. For the last eight weeks, Mars in Taurus has inspired an energy of consistency, perseverance, and stubbornness to get things done. A strong motivating force during this transit has been our personal finances. Taurus rules the second house of personal assets and resources, inspiring us to make decisions in the best interest of our bank account and morals. However, with Mars moving into Gemini shortly after Midnight on Sunday, our actions are now governed by our need to expand and express mental thought. Many of us may suddenly find the courage to start putting a new idea or project out there, as Taurus’s dedication helped us shape it into form. However, be cautious as Mars in Gemini is somewhat scattered energy, it’s easy to get lost in thought and translation. Gemini is the first air sign of the Zodiac, and it has trouble sometimes staying focused on one thing for too long if it loses interest. The best way to use this energy is to focus on one or two things that you LOVE and are excited about doing, and follow them through to completion. Gemini is a social sign, so it would be beneficial to get other people involved. Share your ideas with people you trust and listen keenly to the advice you receive.

Aries

Aries, with the Sun beginning it’s transit through your 1st house of self in Aries, this may be a period of rebirth for you. Long-standing actions, dreams, and goals may begin to stir around a bit, inspiring you to slowly move back into the swing of your everyday busy life. However, Mercury and (soon Venus) are still in your 12th house of closure and ending in Pisces, causing you to do more soul searching and behind-the-scenes emotional healing to get you prepared for the next season of your life. Use this week’s Last Quarter Moon in Capricorn to finish up any outstanding projects dealing with the public. You’ll want a clear slate for the New Moon in Aries next week.

Taurus

Taurus, with Mars on its last week in your 1st house of self in Taurus, you may be asking yourself how you got where you are and where you go from here. But enjoy this uncertainty. Something beautiful and unforeseen is on the horizon, and it requires you to trust your gut. On Tuesday, March 26, 2019, Venus enters Pisces, your 11th house of friendships and groups, until April 17, 2019. This three week transit is prime time for establishing new and old connections that can help move you socially in the right direction. As much as you would like to believe you can go at it alone, you need others sometimes. Use this transit as a learning lesson. You can lean on people!

Gemini

Gemini, for a long time now you’ve felt like you were cast aside and set into the shadows. It’s been a long six months believing nobody was listening to you or hearing you, but now they are! With the Aries Sun now in your 11th house of groups and friends, all eyes are on YOU! International or large national corporations or organizations may suddenly want your personal expertise or opinion on a matter that is near and dear to your heart Gemini. Mars leaving your 12th house of Taurus on Saturday and entering your 1st house of self early Sunday morning is exactly what you need to move forward in a new direction. Just make sure that you are staying level-headed and not saying yes to every “amazing” opportunity that comes your way. Flush it out, make sure you aren’t being used or exposed beyond your level of reason or morale.

Cancer

Cancer, it’s been an emotional six weeks for you as Pisces lit up our 9th house of mental exploration and travel. You probably spent a lot of time cuddling up to people and thoughts that you love, while at the same time battling for your freedom. But don’t worry about what you had to let go of Cancer, now it’s time to focus on where you want to go! With the Aries Sun heating up your 10th house of career, it’s time to focus on your own personal objectives and career goals, especially when it comes to shining bright in the public eye! One thing you should watch for Cancer is your inflated ego. You tend to seesaw between being viciously self-confident, and desperately insecure, and this transit will do everything to challenge that polarity. Be honest about who you are when it comes to building your public image and reputation. The last thing you want to do is come off insecure, or worst yet, INSINCERE.

Leo

Leo, there’s so much you want to do and now seems like the perfect time to do it: but do you really know what you want, or are you still trying to figure it out? The first few weeks of Aries season can be somewhat brutal if your still seesawing between the “do it now” and “play it safe” mentality of Aries and Pisces. If you feel unsure, let it play out. Next week is more of a seeding time for you anyway. Mercury’s exit out of its reversed Retrograde motion on Thursday morning, March 28, 2019, will be pivotal for you as you can finally get a grasp of the information you need to handle your financial situation once and for all. This may come as a job opportunity, an influx of money that you should've received back in the day, or a significant investment from someone you love and trust, and who loves and believes in you. However it comes, accept it. You deserve something good.

Virgo

Virgo, the past few months have been big for you, and it seems like you’ve been on an uphill climb for weeks. But remember everything is uncertain, especially with the Aries Sun now in your 5th house of pleasure, fame, and creativity. Your emotions have the tendency to surprise you this week, just when you think you’ve got them under control. Listen to this sudden burst of hysteria or feelings of self-defeat (even optimism). You may be trying to talk yourself out of or into something you know just isn’t true. Areas of passion or hobby could bring you joy or depression. If you can’t make time for what you want to do, incorporate what you want to do into what you are already doing. It’s important to remember this week that everything has seasons, and unfortunately, every season does NOT have to be about you.  

Libra

Libra, you’ve got big plans lingering in your mind. But be honest with yourself, is this what you really want or is this something you feel you have to do? Establishing the difference between guilt and shame, and joy and inspiration is pivotal for your physical and material success this month. With Mercury leaving its Retrograde station, and moving direct in your 6th house of Pisces, you could be in for a fresh start and project in terms of your career. Something you’ve been working on is gaining traction, and attention, and you need to be open to the success and material wealth this journey can bring. But with Venus meeting up with Mercury in your 6th house of Pisces on Tuesday, March 26, 2019, you need to be honest about what you can handle. Taking on multiple responsibilities may feel fun and challenging, but be practical with yourself. Do not bite off more than you can chew. In your case, less is more. Tread lightly!

Scorpio

Scorpio, you are in a season of building, and much of this is related to your family history, debts, and material wealth/investments. With the Aries sun beaming into your 8th house of joint partnerships and shared resources, you could be actively seeking ways to increase your financial independence through long-term planning. However, you need to slow down. The 8th house is your natural home, your natural ruler, therefore many of the themes occurring this month will strike a deep emotional response from you. Emotional outbursts and partner disagreements may increase this week. But don’t sweat it as any confrontation brings you closer to an agreement. Venus moving into Pisces and your 5th house  on Tuesday, March 26, 2019, will help lighten the load emotionally as relationships tend to move towards the more sensual side, opening you up to a deeper soul connection. Give yourself permission to say what you feel. Every confession helps you shine brighter. Shine on!

Sagittarius

Sagittarius, there is much movement taking place in your life, even if you can’t see or feel it. Having faith is your destiny this week as you move deeper into the can do nature of the Aries Sun. Especially since it highlights your 5th house of pleasure, creativity, and fame. Over the next few weeks you may find yourself becoming more open to exploring old hobbies and creative projects that have been dormant for a while. A big reason for this delay was not having the “right” people to do it with, but this time you have the strength and vigor to go it alone. And to your surprise, your willingness to bite the bullet yourself attracts like minded souls to assist you in this venture. Mercury going direct in Pisces on Thursday, March 28, 2019 in your 4th house brings an emotional situation surrounding home and family into neutral waters. After weeks of feeling stuck and contemplating your next move, it may be time to finally cut the cord and move out into the world on your own. Establishing a clear sense of sanctuary and healing is essential to your growth and sustenance. Take a leap of faith and branch out on your own. You will never know if you never try.

Capricorn

Capricorn, you have a lot to learn this week when it comes to emotions and family life. Especially after last week’s conjunction between The Sun and Chiron in Aries in your 4th house. Emotions are something that you naturally keep to yourself. But how is that working for you? With Venus moving into Pisces on Tuesday, March 26, 2019, in your 3rd house of self- expression and self-improvement, you may need to re-evaluate how you handle what you feel. Especially when it comes to communicating with others in a relationship. Being honest about something that has been bothering you for weeks, no matter how hurtful it is, will help clear up any uncharted water in a close relationship. Give yourself permission to be vulnerable and share your sensuality. There is more important forms of communications than sex. Challenge yourself. It’s time that you break open.

Aquarius

Aquarius, Venus has transited your first house of self for three weeks now. This transit was pivotal in addressing unhealthy relationship patterns that helped you clarify your internal desires and needs. Venus will leave the comfort of your 1st house on Tuesday, March 26, 2019 and enter your 2nd house of Pisces until April 17, 2019. This shift awakens the value that you hold over your personal relationships and how you spend your money. You may naturally find yourself more indulgent and purchase things that you would often ignore. Pay attention to this need to splurge. Make sure that you are not acting on a fear of lack or scarcity. Mars also leaves your 4th house of Taurus and enters your 5th house of Gemini on Sunday, March 31, 2019. Mars will transit your 5th house of Gemini until May 15th. This shift may leave you feeling spontaneous and open minded. Follow the urge to create. It could lead you to some spectacular places.

Pisces

Pisces, even though the Sun is now in Aries, the spotlight is still shining bright on you! Mercury leaves its Retrograde station on Thursday, March 28th, 2019, giving you the green light to put some of those creative projects into action. Something you’ve been working on may get leaked this week, by you or someone else. And although this may not be intentional, it’s what you ultimately need to share this new expression of who you are and what you represent. On Tuesday, March 26 2019, Venus will leave your 12th house of closure and ending in Aquarius and enter your 1st house of Self in Pisces until April 17th. Whatever you let go of in terms of love, ideology, past ways of thinking and relating to others needs to be forgotten. The next three weeks are about you loving on you! Indulge in some good old fashion self-love techniques like long solitude walks in the park and hot baths in candlelight. If a new lover comes on the radar, don’t be so quick to push it away. Opening yourself up to a new boo, or a renewed connection, is a gift from the universe. Let the love flow in!

August 2018: Scorpio First Quarter Moon and Cleansing Water Ceremony

"When cleansing we must first empty. When manifesting we must stand open." - ML

On August 18, 2018, the moon is half full. It is waxing and growing brighter in illumination. When the moon is waxing into fullness we are most aware of our desires and needs to grow. We see the future just as we begin to receive open doors on how to get there. The First Quarter Moon phase is the most fertile time of the lunar cycle. It is the moment where we work in our budding gardens to reap the abundance of last quarter moon's harvest. 

The First Quarter Moon occurs in misty Scorpio. This FQM is deep, intense, and sensual. It tickles our most sensitive soft spots so that we can peacefully move through them to build a sturdy foundation on solid ground. Relationships and shared resources are highlighted under this waxing moon. It foreshadows sporadic group ventures, testy joint investments, and outlandish community healing. 

Creative projects that involve shared resources, community facilities, water, mysticism, occult knowledge, and deep spiritual practice will be highlighted and favored. Scorpio is often symbolized as a grieving or over-attached mother. Mother related issues or experiences may surface during this time. 

During this period it is best to connect with your emotional and spiritual body. Mediation, yoga, acupuncture, massage, blood cleansing, detox, and foot baths are very useful and received well at this time. 

If possible be near the ocean or the sea. Scorpio is governed by Pluto, the planet of death and transformation. This period is excellent for baptism and healing ceremonies.  

Avoid leaving little children unattended near water. Drowning is symbolic of this sign.

Water Ceremony for The First Quarter Moon in Scorpio:

In ceremony, we charge our water because it is innately neutral. Water serves as a carrier. The binding agent that reacts with our own personal energies, intentions, thoughts, and feelings. It is the substance of what we are and what we come from. Water is our blood. Water is our purity. It is our peace. In metaphysics, water symbolizes all that is feminine, yin, and divine. It represents our feelings, emotions, and sensuality, the inner complexes that create our external realities.

In this ceremony, the water cleanses your skin and removes all impurities, negativity, and destructive thought patterns. It breaks down and decomposes what is already dead and ill-serving. It purifies us and leaves us new. 

To add more intensity to your ceremony imagine that all negativity and deadweight is draining from your body and consciousness as you watch the healing water empty into the drain.

To begin: go into your higher state and ground your center. Take a charged bath or shower with the intention of washing all impurities. If possible, use anatural oil based soapor salt. Imagine that you are being cleansed and renewed for illumination on next week's full moon in Pisces. Becuase Scorpio is a sign of depth and eroticism, it may be helpful to set the mood with candles, incense, crystals, ancestral artifacts, lights, and darkness. **** if you plan on drinking this potion please store in refrigerator or cooler. 

Once you have taken your bath, charge a mason jar or glass pitcher of balanced water with blood cleansing herbs, roots, and oils. For this ceremony herbs such as nettle leaf, burdock root, dandelion root, spirulina, and raspberry leaf work well. You will charge this water now for ingestion next week. Place all your hopes, intentions, wishes, dreams, manifestations, fantasies, and desires into the water. Unleash all you tell yourself is impossible. Let it wash its way to the surface. Once you are done label and seal the container. Store in dark resting place until next week. Do not open.

If you would like, here is an affirmation poem charged specifically for this cleansing moon:
(saying this aloud 3x with confidence is extremely powerful -- let your voice hear you)

I am open.
I accept all that waves, flows, and ebbs.
I dance in the wind of the Seas.
I amlove.
I am free. 
My life is eternally and effortlessly peace.
In all transgressions I am.
In all moments I will.
In all experiences I be. 
I accept the Mother within.
I nurture myself.
I Mother myself.
I heal all traumas of the womb attached to me. 
I am one with Water.
Water is in me.

I surrender to the Waves.
I am in flow.
Flow is in Me. 
I release the Old.
I am eternally free.

Planetary Aspects: 

Mercury Retrograde in Leo Sextiles Venus in Libra at 11 degrees. 

Communication is harmonious and polite. A period of peace and insight. Directness or beating around the bush may create rifts but nothing to be taken too heart. A time of great conversation and companionship. A warm loving social environment. Business ventures and creative projectes surrounding the arts, home, and design get a much deserved boost. A great time to take advantage of small talk and bright minds. 

Moon in Scorpio Sextiles Mars Retrograde in Capricorn at 29 degrees. 

A time of deep passion and self-expression. A tendency to desire control and possesion over external measures and emotions. Deep displays of maturity, love, and affection are shown during this time. Capricorn's earthly sensuality is deepened by Scorpio's desire for erotica and stimulation. Physical energy may be necessary to relieve deep rooted stress. A time for patience, pracitlaity and revelational feelings. 

Leo New Moon and Partial Solar Eclipse 2018: Affirmations and Ritual to Ease into Change.

A New Moon starts the cycle of renewal. It ignites the eternal flame of emotion, subconscious, and feeling. The moon's newness is dark soil. It is the fertilization that nourishes our seeds through the storm. It is cold. It is fresh. It is raw and unnerving. The August 2018 Lion New Moon in Leo is no different. It is charged with the illumination of the sun's hidden rays as it casts the last Leo solar eclipse of 2018. 

On August 11, 2018, in the wee early moments of dawn, the moon rises in the darkness again. Invisible in her approach but almighty in her roar, our insides are purified from their sleeping states forever.

You can expect deep changes with this lunar phase. Slow, insightful, deliberate, and decaying transition. The kind of transformation that makes you cut all your hair off and grow it back three months later. The kind of shift that alters everything and nothing all in one swoop.  

With rebellious Uranus now Retrograde in stubborn Taurus until November, our internal landscapes are sticky and chaotic with colorful greys. Experiences during this transit can feel boring and dull, but still chaotic and unnerving to say the least. 

Raging projections of submerged fears or worries may surface. Try not to cast or shun your shadows. Greet them. Invite them in. Make them tea and coffee. Invite them to know you. To reveal themselves deeply to you. 

Understanding our hurt leads to self-confidence that cannot be tethered by fear. It is the kind of strength that surpasses all physical understanding and shame. It is internalized. Deep. Buried and tucked away like a newborn baby suckling on its mother's full tender breast. 

No matter how you feel during this new moon, your feelings are raw, valid, and glistening. Listen to them. Honor them. Let go of what no longer feels good. Release what now brings you suffering. You do not have to suffer. Banish the belief that love is suffering. Love is stretching. It expands, challenges, and sustains but it does not bring malice. Be strong and brave enough to face the difference. Even it is your own pain.

"Being who you are is not a chore, it is not work. It is commitment."

A Ritual For the 2018 New Moon and Solar Eclipse: 

First: Write down your one thing that just has to go today. It can be very specific or extremely broad. Think of this as your personal nemesis. What rules your Life? What oozes into the corners and overshadows your glow? Is it fear, scarcity, a person, an experience, a place, a thing? Call it forward and bravely write it down. Writing it down allows you to bring it from the higher realm of consciousness into the material world of the physical. 

Once you've taken a second to write it down, ground yourself. Close your eyes and visualize this thing. Visualize the essence (the energy) of what it is that you are vanishing. If it is a feeling invite the feeling to take over you. If examples of this feeling pop up, try to ignore it. Allow the feeling to feel itself. You are the observer, not the feeling. 

After you have taken a second to ground, start your practice by asking yourself some simple questions. 

Ask yourself questions like:

How does ____ effect me?

Why does ____effect me?

What triggers ____? 

How can I directly address _____? 

What will happen if I address _____? 

Once you've got a clear picture and some answered questions either written down or in your mind, write down and say the following three lines out loud.

I accept ________ as my truth.

I embrace _________ as my truth. 

I banish ________ with love.

Say and write these three lines with power and courage and strength. Give impact to your words. Breathe Life and healing onto the paper. Don't be afraid to let this go. Don't be afraid to let go of this FOREVER. Humans instinctually have this intrinsic fear of eternity but it's the truth behind what we are. We areeternal flames. We do shine brightly forever. So why not banish something for eternity? It is possible. You do have the power to make a decision and stick to it. To never react to its triggers again. It takes honesty, love, and repetition. It takes trust, evolution, and transcendence. But it does happen. It can happen. It will. 

If you're ever feeling stuck or mislead by ANYTHING, repeat this simple two-second ritual over and over again until it becomes automatic like breathing.

You can do this at any time, anywhere. It can be as simple as 123 or you can be more elaborate and add candles, a circle, or an altar.

Monitor your thoughts and emotions over the next three to four days when the Moon is still dark and fertilizing. Take stock of what keeps coming up for purification. Answer any inner promptings or calls that you receive for change. Trust the sacredness of this dark time. There is so much love here when you accept it.

Trust in your intuition. Taking a risk can bring surprising reward. Make clear, confident, consistent, and calculated leaps. 

With the Sagittarius Full Moon's Semi Square to Pluto in Capricorn, we may be facing obstacles or deep trauma. However, the full moon's illumination leaves us confident and persistent. We will walk through our fears and lessons. Timing is on our side. Be patient and conscious in decision making.

      A RITUAL FOR THE FULL MOON

This Sagittarius Full Moon Ritual is called "Adventure Time."

What you will need for this meditation and ceremony: 

---

THE MEDITATION: 

the purpose of this meditation is to awaken the infinite self within us all.

the purpose of this meditation is to inspire ascension and higher aspirations.

the purpose of this meditation is to build a bridge between Self and All that Is.

---

Begin the meditation by stretching and releasing the tension in your body. 

(place extra attention on releasing pressure in your lower back and shoulders) 

Once you feel that your body is more relaxed and pliable, find a comfortable position and begin to tune in with your breathe. 

Once you have aligned with your breathe, begin to take slow, deep, long, graceful breathes until you feel called to release.

Do this several times for 3-5 minutes. 

Once you have entered into a meditative state, imagine you have all the resources and free time in the world. Imagine that you could travel to any galaxy, space, or country. Where would you go? Who would you bring? What would you take? What would you experience there? 

Go to that place.

What does this place look like? What does it feel like? Who is there with you?  

Try not to program your imagination or stream of consciousness by telling it what to do and see. Let your visions and thoughts flow to where they want you to go. 

Spend no more than 5 to 10 minutes in this space. 

When you are ready to enter back into consciousness, thank where you were and who you were with for their giving. Once you feel called to depart fully, begin to slow your breathing.

Before you open your eyes take 3-5 deep long breathes then return gently into your body when you are ready.

---

THE CEREMONY:

Once you have completed the meditation, go spend a minimum of 30 minutes connected with your primitive instinctual Self. Use this sacred time of honesty to reflect on your Life journey and its adventures. 

While you are connecting with your "wild" Self think of your top three fantasy adventures. Make a college, photo journal, or affirmation book on how you want to feel based on what you experienced in meditation. 

Once you are finished say this prayer:

"My life flows according to my will. My life is designed for success and adventure. I am filled with imagination and curiosity. My life is designed for wonder and excitement. I trust that all that I affirm will come to pass. I am wild and I am free. Everyday of my life is an adventure." 

Keep your artifact somewhere safe as you will want to draw on this for affirmation later in your path.

Do this ceremony whenever you are feeling trapped or bounded, it will help you remember we all deserve adventure in our daily life.

May 2018 New Moon in Taurus: A New Beginning

ON TUESDAY MAY 15, 2018 THE TAURUS 2018 NEW MOON MOVES US INTO RESET TO ROOT AND REFLECT.

The May 2018 New Moon occurs on Tuesday, May 15, in native sensual and grounding Taurus. 

The Taurus New Moon brings foundation and strength to our personal relationships and romantic life. Are you acting in oneness or separation? Are you willing to compromise and flow through the disruptions of this current lunar cycle together rather than apart? Is your relationship with money healthy or dependent? 

If you aren't in balance, this Taurus New Moon will "wake" you up. Financial scares and business growth can bring holy bells or gloom. But either way, the experience was the true lesson, what did you learn? 

Bust out your planners and your calculators my loves, date night just happened and this time its operation "fancy." Will you splurge on bae at their favorite restaurant? Or will you surprise them with a one night staycation? Either way, sexy time is happening and you will love it. 

Although Taurus is a sensual and loving sign, there can be imbalance present as well. Be mindful that you are not over indulging and spending in ways that you don't have the time or the energy, and most importantly, the funds. 

This is a time to find new in tradition, find innovative ways to show your love and to gather with your tribe. A movie party or dinner pot luck works for everyone, just make sure to spice up the guest list. Oh, and don't be surprised if that "frenemy" shows up to the party. But there's no need to worry, Bae has made their choice, and so will you, don't engage. 

With the Neptune-Jupiter Trine there is support in our overcoming. We are being assisted in our ability to open, express, and give to others what we are seeking in return. This energy is favorable for long lasting marriages, commitments, and lucrative business associations. However, success during this transit requires deep patience, transformation, and trust. Be patient and believe that all will be true. You choose whether you will root or swim.

Love on. 

AFFIRMATIONS FOR THIS NEW MOON BASED ON YOUR SUN, RISING, AND MOON SIGN: 

I always suggest reading your sun sign first --  this reflects how you outwardly express to others and to Self. 

I then suggest reading your moon sign -- this reflects your inner workings and subconscious desires.

Lastly I suggest reading your rising sign -- this reflects the path you will take. 

A RITUAL FOR THE NEW MOON

This Taurus New Moon Ritual is called "Rooting."

What you will need for this meditation and ceremony: 

• your feet

• the earth

• intention

• breathe

• love

• something to document with

The Meditation: 

Begin the meditation by stretching and releasing the tension in your body. Place extra attention on releasing pressure in your head and neck. 

Once you feel that your body is more relaxed and pliable, find a comfortable position and begin to tune in with your breathe. 

Once you have aligned with your breathe, begin to take slow deep, long, graceful breathes, until you feel called to release. Do this several times for 3-5 minutes. 

Once you are into a relaxed meditative state, imagine you are a tree. Imagine your tree has bright colors and each color represents a part of you. Now allow this tree to release upon you. Do not give it any instructions, just follow it, observe, you are not the teacher -- you are the student. 

Visualize the roots of the tree. What do they look like? What do they feel like? What are they connected too? What do the colors mean? How does each color make you feel? Does anyone's face come up? What thoughts come when you think about the roots of your tree? Can you identify the source of your roots? 

Spend no more than 5 minutes with your tree and then return to your breathe. 

Take several deep breathes with the intention to come back peacefully into your conscious body. 

When you feel called...Return. 

Journal, Paint or Express to Self what you experienced. 

The Ceremony: 

Once you have completed the meditation, go spend a minimum of 30 minutes connected with Earth. Use this sacred time to reflect on your rooting journey and its messages. 

While you are rooting with Earth imagine yourself sending back the love energy that was given to you during meditation. 

Once you feel it is time to finish your ceremony, give thanks to the Earth and your tree for their existence.

SOME  PLANETARY ASPECTS YOU SHOULD KNOW:

May 15, 2018: Uranus Enters Taurus at 11:16 AM

On Tuesday, May 15, 2018, at 11:16 AM, Uranus, the planet of change, disruption, rebellion, and innovation enters Taurus, the sign of sensuality, security, patience, and renewal. With Uranus shifting into Taurus, expect increased environmentalism, veganism, animal and human rights campaigns, natural disasters, karmic plot twists, financial security or loss, baby making, and debt. Uranus is spontaneous and rebellious. Taurus is methodical and strategic. Together, Uranus and Taurus, create a push-pull 8 year journey that will leave you stretched, resilient, and stable. To get the best of this 8 year life changing transit, allow spontaneity to be your new M.O (still take care of business). Try new things, meet new people, eat odd food, and strengthen your self confidence through community, spiritual practices, and personal relationships.Your mantra for this transit should be: All things are as I am.

Trust the process. 

May 16, 2018: Mars Enters Aquarius at 12:55 AM

On Wednesday, May 16, 2018, at 12:55, Mars, planet of action, will, desires, self expression, Enters Aquarius, sign of innovation, intellect, visualization, detachment, and curiosity. With this transit occurring immediately after the Taurus new moon, and the Uranus-Taurus transit, our communication and self expression will be introspective and detached. This dynamic challenges our need to connect and stabilize ourselves within and without.

Be observant more than you speak during this transit. Speak with awareness and intent. Do not find yourself in situations purely for entertainment, lust, or desire. Be certain you have a purpose for what you are doing. If not, get out. 

Sexuality and intimate relationships may come to the forefront this week. We tend to seek solitude rather than connectedness. Visualize effortless journeys, completed tasks, soul tribe gatherings, community projects, sweaty sex, and lusty arguments. 

May 19, 2018: Venus Enters Cancer at 9:10 AM

On Saturday, May 19, 2018, at 9:10 AM, Venus, planet of love, money, exchange, and values enters Cancer, sign of emotion, purification, balance, dependency, and pleasure. When Venus is in Cancer, we are more sensitive, nurturing, and close knitted with others.

Use this transit to connect with your inner child. Ask your child Self: How do you express your emotion? How do you connect with others? Are you intentionally detached and cold? What does it mean for you to give love? What do you need to feel loved? What hurt feelings do you need to release to heal?

This transit will be an emotional rollercoaster, but you don't have to be miserable. When we open our heart to this energy, we learn the true essence of compassion, and unconditional love. 

May 20, 2018: Sun Enters Gemini at 10:15 PM

On Sunday, May 20, 2018, at 10:15 PM, the Sun, planet of identity, self expression, soul's urges, life purpose, and reputation, enters Gemini, sign of polarity, drama, intuition, logical thought, and persuasion. Sun in Gemini people are loving, intense, impersonal, deeply sensitive, and extremely intellectual. With the Sun moving into Gemini, until June 21, when it will then enter Cancer, our outer expressions and inner urges will be driven by our need to understand and gather the facts. During this transit, we are overly talkative and have a deep need to express verbally, which makes gossip a possibility, you should avoid this. Sun in Gemini transits also bring forth all of our hidden desires and wishes. This condition causes us to be slightly scattered and into everything. 

Karmic manifestations are also common during this time. Find healthy ways to express your need for drama and excitement. Avoid creating chaos or disruption in your home, work, and personal relationships for stimulation. To counteract this: attend plays, write a song, go to a concert, or take an art class...just whatever you do, stay out of drama. 

May 25, 2018: Jupiter Trine Neptune at 5:52 AM

On Friday, May 25, 2018, at 5:52 AM, Jupiter, planet of grace, expansion, inner faith, opportunities, and expression Trines (connects) with Neptune, planet of transcendence, freedom, unification, and higher Self. When these two expansive planets connect energies of heart expansion, a greater humanity emerges. This sacred energy calls us into the most sacred parts of our being, our Highest Self. In this sacred energy, we are called to align with our intuition, and belief. It is common to have experiences with the other side, as clairvoyance, angelic communication, and divine intervention is strengthened. Don't be surprised if synchronicity takes you on a whirlwind ride of "this really happened" syndrome. During Jupiter Trine Neptune transits, nothing is by chance. This increase in synchronicity becomes more and more prevalent as the day goes on. Small chance happenings and meet ups are common, so keep your eyes open. This energy is perfect for group gatherings, and healing sessions focused on collective healing at the global level, and for the Earth.

Its time to share your gift of hope and  inspiration with the world. Don't be surprised if divine opportunities miraciously occur with a chance to step brighter into your light.                              Ask yourself during this transit: how can I be a better service to humanity? To Self? To Earth?

Shine on! 

May 29, 2018: Sagittarius Full Moon at 10:19 AM

On Tuesday, May 29, 2018 at 10:19 AM, the Moon, planet of discernment, subconscious mind, inner child, and intuition, enters Sagittarius, sign of adventure, higher education, ambition, restlessness, and travel. With the Sagittarius full moon coming to complete (or bring progress)  to what  we started during the December 2017 Sagittarius new moon cycle, old projects and teams may be coming to a head or beginning to make successful gains on a venture or mission. With Uranus now in Taurus and Mercury entering Gemini this evening, our communication can be blunt and over dramatic.

The Sagittarius fire energy also brings in skepticism and risk. Things can be confusing during this time so try to remain open to new possibilities. 

Use this ambitious full moon to discover innovative ways to expand without going into debt or bankruptcy. Find physical ways to express your fire and pent up energy. This is a great time to reflect on how you are a team player and what value you are bringing as a leader and a participant of the group.

Are you engaged and sincere? Or are you playing devil's advocate and using this opportunity for personal gain? Use this Full Moon as the wake up call you need to go for your dreams.

It's possible.

May 29, 2018: Mercury Enters Gemini at 7:49 PM

On Tuesday, May 29, 2018 at 7:49 PM, the same day as the Sagittarius Full Moon, Mercury, planet of technology, communication, process, thought, and creative skill, enters Gemini, sign of sign of polarity, drama, intuition, logical thought, and persuasion. With the Sun in Gemini until June 21, our need to verbally express and communicate is heightened. Gemini's illumination also causes our expressions to be over dramatic, intense, and impulsive. During this time, its best to be compassionate to others increased sensitivity or irritation during conversation and day to day activities. 

Mercury in Gemini also rings opportunity through technology and writing. Even if tech and writing isn't your thing you'll be surprised at how technology opens doors for you. Many of us will be brushing up our public appearance through publishing, networking, and social engagements.

Energy Horoscopes for Pisces New Moon. March 17, 2018 9:11 AM

When it rains it pours and oh are we being rained on. If you live in the sunny climates of this beautiful earth you are still being purged and pulled to release the things that no longer serve you. Pisces is the 12th sign of the Zodiac and she brings her energies of illusion, creativity, and deep sensitivity through emotion. This space calls you to feel. It invites you in and pulls you to remember all that you have left. All that you have given away. All that you ache to achieve and fear that you will not. It requires you to release your fear of failure. To release the pressures you place upon yourself to grow into spaces that are not designed for you to bloom. We are in the time of rebirth. And oh my. The beauty of magic that it has stored just for you.

On Saturday, March 17, 2018 at 9:11 am the moon will enter into Pisces.

What does this mean?

Experiencing the feeling of being pulled under or above depending on where you are in your personal journey.

Strengthening through the flow of water.

Realizing that space is okay.

Accepting that you are not alone.

Making peace with connection and not isolation.

Respecting that this time of stillness and deep feeling is a process.

I am surrendering in honor to this transit .

Other important planetary aspects:

Venus and Mercury in Aries

North Node in Leo

Be assured that you are creative. You are manifesting your highest dream. It can happen and it will, just with time. . . . be patient.

Love in self and career is prevalent and necessary to realize the changes you are so confidently seeking.

For those that are not feeling confident be at peace with the temporary moving clouds of doubt.

Fear of not being able to realize what you achieve to create or birth comes forth. Ignore this. You are the all powerful.

General Ritual for the Transit: 

Place three cups in front of you. Fill two with water.

Step into your space of stillness. This can be through meditation or alter. Imagine that one cup is your present self. Speak, sing, dance, express your current state of being into the water. Infuse your energy as one.

Clear yourself of all that you have just released.

Now imagine yourself as your future self, your present whole self that is awaiting your awareness.

Ask yourself what does this self feel like. What does this self look like. What actions does this self take.

Now sing, speak, dance, express those intentions into the water. Infuse your loving positive energy as one.

Once you are ready say a prayer, a mantra, or whatever comes up for you over the empty cup.

Send it blessings, miracles, and compassion. Allow it to understand that you are present in this space and all that you are intending is with love. This sends acceptance into the timelines of your future possible realities. It sends assurance to your guides that you are ready. You are ready to merge. To be one with all that you are and have always been.

Once you are ready pour both cups into the empty cup and say this:

I am one. Merging the polarities of all that I have believed and limited myself to be. I am married. I am both and all.

I am whole and nourished.

I am filled and full.

I am curious and joyful.

I am loving and compassionate.

All that I have believed to be indifference has only been doubt.

In this space under this water, I am.

And so it shall be.

Do not think of the words that you speak. Only fill them with love. Speak them with belief. With assurance. With knowing that all you have spoken, released, and manifested is. There is no what ifs. Only acceptance and patience in the unfolding. Remember to accept as it comes. For all that you have willed has been given. The beauty is the nature in which it shall reveal itself. Only expect this to come in joy. Rid yourself of the belief that change is misery or pain. Joy is all that we are when we accept that it is all that we have ever been.

Peace and love in you.

I accept that the source of my fear, my doubt, my shame, and my worries may seem unknown. However, I am open to digging deeper. To seeing into the scars of my wounds. I peel them back. Here I find my peace.

I am open to experiencing the waters of my past. Shedding the layers that I have carried for too long I realize that they are no longer necessary. In there release I find myself mourning and this is okay. I give myself space to mourn what never was and never will be.

Acceptance in this time is hard. I know this. But what I know to be true is a disguise for my pain. I give myself time to walk through this moment without judgement. Without fear. I hold the belief that this is only temporary and the best is yet to come.

I give myself the belief that my worst fears are only fears. I do not carry the chatter of my mind into my behaviors. Instead I allow the solitude of decision and choice to weigh on me. Giving me the strength to finally set myself free.

Pisces Sun, Pisces Moon, Pisces Rising: 

I accept that I can not see clearly at this time. Moving through the deception of this dream state I realize that I am one with the moon.

The emotions, the water, the fluidity of my mind is awakening me to deeper depths. I am opening. I am purging. I accept that what I expect to be will not. Instead I fill my fears with the nurturing love that all is going to plan.

In the midst of confusion I sit still. Allowing this time to move past me I am open to doing nothing. To accepting that I am shedding my skin and will emerge brand new.

I sit with this time. Solitude brings me great creativity. I am using this time to awaken my sense of art, my sense of writing, my sense of being. My senses are awakened. I am coming alive.
