A flying display of paper lanterns and festive celebrations will begin on January 31 as preparation for the Aquarius New Moon and Lunar New Year festivities start across the globe. The second New Moon of 2022, the electrifying Aquarius New Moon is the beginning of a new personal and collective era.

Reaching its peak at around 12:45 am EST on February 1 (9:45 pm PST on Jan 31), the Aquarius New Moon marks the start of a new four week lunation cycle centered around technological evolution, community building, and creative problem-solving.

After a tumultuous Venus Retrograde digging into your deepest relationship fears and financial limitations, this New Moon brings a cosmic push to slowly move forward with renewed faith in the future.

For some, this means embracing your new life in the limelight. For others, this means stepping back and taking a less active role (retirement announcements may be coming soon).

With Mercury ending its retrograde two days after the New Moon, take your time easing into your New Moon rituals and intentions. Instead of rushing ahead, perhaps spend the first few days of the lunation cycle reflecting and visualizing. Save any action-taking until after the Retrograde cycle clears.

While there are many attributes about the Aquarius New Moon, let’s focus on four of the most impactful ways this clarifying lunation is shaking up the world.

4 ways the 2022 Aquarius New Moon is the changing the world as we know it:

#1. Rethinking the future.

New Moons are generally happy and exciting times, but lately, have you noticed that New Moons have been feeling kind of heavy and dreary? Instead of manifesting, New Moons have been portals for release, extra rest, and cleansing. Many have been grieving through New Moons.

That’s because, since November 2021, New Moons have been occurring at the 12th degree in Astrology, a degree which is ruled by Pisces, the sign of completion, loss, isolation, dreams, and karmic ending.

With the 2022 Aquarius New Moon reaching its peak at a Pisces degree, this means that the current collective beliefs, trends, cycles, and ways of connecting are coming to a conclusion. And with Aquarius being a technologically advanced sign, these endings will most likely affect social media, big data, global networks/alliances, television, third-party streaming/providers, and your individual higher purpose.

Over the next six months, expect to see a flurry of series cancellations, lifestyle makeovers/ transformations, and finale announcements from your favorite artists, brands, and influencers. But don’t worry, most of the “farewell” announcements may not be mean goodbye for good — think of it as an opportunity for repositioning and improvement. The 2022 Aquarius New Moon wants you to think bigger and do better. Where are you closing a chapter in your life? How is your past shaping your future?

In your own life, the theme of ending may inspire you to rethink what you want for the future. It also encourages you to pause and practice gratitude for all you have in the present. Yes, there may be deep feelings of loss and loneliness over the next few weeks, especially as we move into Pisces season, but do your best to cherish the moment. Be here now. Do not dwell on the past.

The word for this New Moon is evolve.

#2. Establishing new forms of creative freedom.

If you’re looking to make the impossible possible, this is the New Moon time to start planning, just be prepared to put the effort in. Because of its Saturnian influences, the 2022 Aquarius New Moon will ultimately lead to more collaborations, mergers, and acquisitions over the next six months. Expect to see major creative partnerships being formed.

This surge of business innovation and wealth reconstruction is influenced by the Aquarius New Moon’s conjunction with serious Saturn. Saturn, the planet of responsibility, strategy, and professional maturity, brings profitable practicality to far-fetched plans. Use this energy to overcome barriers that have been standing in your way since 2016.

Almost halfway through the Saturn in Aquarius transit that ends in 2023, what are your long-term intentions for 2022? What foundation are you building now that you want to see evolve before Saturn exits Aquarius in 2023?

Use this transit to network, network, network! Connect with your community and secure the bag!

#3. Diversifying resources and assets.

Change is the only constant on Earth — nothing stays the same — the Aquarius New Moon is a reminder of that. Forming an awakening square to unpredictable Uranus, this New Moon calls for radical transformation. With Uranus in resource-savvy Taurus, this lunation encourages you to get out of your box and diversify your resources.

And before you rush and go invest in new things, take a pause and ask yourself, what tools do I already have at my disposal? What assets do I (or my support system) possess that can help me improve this situation? How can I be a better steward of my blessings?

Because squares often come with challenges, at times during the New Moon period, you may feel backed into a corner (Mercury is still in retrograde), but do not let your mind talk you out of your own greatness.

Where are you ready to voluntarily shake things up? Where are you ready to take control of your time and desires?

And for those feeling stuck and unmotivated, why are you waiting for something to come in and move you? What is stopping you from changing this situation yourself? Who or what are you surrendering your power to?

You can take charge of this energy by utilizing the many tools and resources available to you. Uranus’s influence wants you think outside the box. Uranus wants you to stop making excuses and playing the same losing cycle over and over again.

Use this New Moon energy to take a different path. Experiment. Uranus is here to assist you in your evolution.

The key to embracing this energy is learning how to flow within restrictions. You have the power and creativity to reinvent yourself.

#4. Celebrating the past.

During the two weeks post the Aquarius New Moon, don’t be surprised if unfinished projects, conversations, and power struggles come back around for a final spin. With Mercury retrograde and Pluto conjunct in Capricorn during the Aquarius New Moon, previous decisions regarding finances, relationships, and long-term goals are still under review.

This powerful conjunction is perfect for reassessing your current situation and visualize how you would like to set new boundaries or re-enforce old ones in the future.

One of the positives of the Mercury retrograde and Pluto conjunction aspect is celebrating the past. Over the next few weeks, there will be a rise in anniversary announcements and celebrating major milestones. More people will be honoring their history and native heritage. There may be reboots or re-releases of vintage pieces, archives, and content, especially in black communities.

For example, Arthur, a childhood classic for the 90s babies will officially be retired after 20 years in February, however, they are starting a podcast to continue the Legacy of Arthur. The final episode is also Aquarian in nature — it will feature an extended glimpse of the beloved characters in the future.

Final Thoughts:

Ultimately, the 2022 Aquarius New Moon is helping pave a more purposeful, pleasurable, and progressive path forward — pace yourself. The 2022 Aquarius New Moon brings opportunities to lay the foundation for future partnerships, connections, and leadership positions.

Yes, it’s important to note that Mercury is still retrograde, so things may feel sluggish until February 8 or 9th.

Also, New Moons operate in a six-month cycle, meaning, you probably won’t get a full picture of what this New Moon is doing until August.

August 2022 will be the breakthrough (or breakdown) point for whatever collective and personal themes unfold during the February 2022 Aquarius New Moon.

The 2022 Aquarius Full Moon will reach its climax on August 11, 2022.

Sending you all the love and peace as you dance into your new future.

September 2021 New Moon in Virgo: Set New Intentions

Photo by Cat Crawford on Unsplash

What is the New Moon in Virgo?

About every four weeks, the Sun and the Moon align in the same sign at the same degree and form what we humans like to call a New Moon.

Because the Sun (our light and expression) aligns with the Moon (our subconscious mind and intuition) this is a time of ripeness and manifestation. 

The visions, dreams, intuitive messages, and soul downloads that are usually blocked out or overlooked feel closer than ever, encouraging you to set new intentions for the weeks ahead.

On September 6, we will begin a new manifestation cycle, one that will center around the systemic and organized energies of  productive Virgo — urging us to plant seeds of focus and determination in health, life, and especially work. 

As we move away from the playful, confidence-boosting, and heart-opening energies of the New Moon in Leo, honor the area of your life that is ready to move forward with intention and dedication.  

What ideas, relationships, and energies are ready for you to stop playing small and master your personal power — your creativity? 

How to manifest with the September 2021 New Moon in Virgo:

With the Virgo New Moon energy peaking at the 14°, which in degree theory is connected to the sign of Taurus — use this lunation to realign your values and wholeheartedly commit to the work you are ready to do. 

Although the New Moon energy is STRONG for manifestation, the transits surrounding this New Moon encourage us to practice patience and stillness — there is no need to rush ahead.

Focus on eliminating distractions and committing to a few small tasks each day. 

If you continue to show up NOW and listen to the intuitive messages being sent to you NOW, you will find yourself in a completely different space around March 18, 2022 for the Virgo Full Moon.

Now, be mindful that this energy is collective, so it will affect each person differently based on your natal placements — aka the time, place, and day you were born.

The best way to know how this will affect you individually is to look at what house Virgo rules in your chart.

What the 2021 Virgo New Moon means for your Zodiac Sign

trust the changes your intuition and ancestors are calling you to make.

endings are never easy. but it's time to let go of your fears and renew your spirit. turn off your brain and FEEL.

do the work in your community and your community will go above and beyond for you. stay humble but show up.

taking a leap of faith is always scary. trust your plan, but accept that plans change.

do not rush your launch or "comeback." nurture your projects and learn as much as you can.

self-doubt is holding you back. lean on your partnerships, community and friends. someone has your back.

don't be afraid to re-evaluate your routines and work-life goals. relationships may be a distraction now.

your passions require dedication. don't sleep on the opportunities unfolding now. let go of the past.

trust that you have the resources to sustain you and your family. speak abundance into your life.

New Moon in Leo: A time of color, creativity, and self-affirmation.

Are you ready to vibrate higher? Because the August 18 - 19 New Moon calls you deep into the heart of the Lion.

After spending two lunar cycles in the ever-changing water of Cancer, the August 2020 New Moon will cleanse itself in the liberating fire of Leo, reaching its peak at 10:41 pm EST. 

As the fifth sign of the astrological zodiac, Leo brings courage, liberty, and confidence in how you express your life force energy. It burns away the fear and insecurity of Cancer, giving birth to a bolder, more passionate you. 

With Leo ruled by the Sun, the August 2020 New Moon encourages you to focus on building thoughts of hope, light, and bravery. It calls you to find the gold in all you have while still being open for more. 

What feeds you? What inspires you to show up and take accountability for your goals? Call more of that energy into your life.

For many of you, the New Moon in Leo strengthens your commitment to beginning a new journey on an unfamiliar path. 

With Leo ruling individuality, your journey will most likely involve the pursuit of a childhood dream or lifestyle vision. You could also be transitioning a side business/hobby into a full-time gig. 

When manifesting, the August 2020 Leo New Moon says to ask for what you want, not what you think you can receive. No more dimming your light and watering down your worth. 

In regards to Love, the New Moon in Leo encourages you to put your heart out there, but still take things slow. It’s okay to move one day at a time. 

Money matters around the New Moon bring reward from past efforts. Venus in Cancer Sextile Uranus Retrograde in Taurus calls in divine assistance from the ancestral realms, so get ready for some unexpected “miracle level” support.

For some, you may receive a large sum of money or opportunity to expand your income/portfolio/resources on a more consistent basis. Receive your blessings and lessons with ease. 

Because Neptune is Retrograde in Pisces, your body is very sensitive, and you may easily feel burnt out. 

Instead of overdoing it, allow the fire of Leo to sizzle and burn. You don’t always have to blaze ahead at full speed. 

With Mars in Aries actively fighting the outer planets Retrograde in Capricorn for power, at times you may feel overwhelmed or blocked in. 

Rather than giving up or walking away from your dreams altogether, take short breaks from your responsibilities from time to time. Create more space for laughter, creativity, and rest.

2020 New Moon in Cancer and Solar Eclipse: What You Need To Know

“And in total darkness, light is born”

On June 20 - June 21, the Moon will rebirth itself at 0 degrees Cancer, creating a fresh start in the area of your chart that rules the Cancerian Crab. 

With the Cancer New Moon also doubling as the final Cancer Solar Eclipse for the decade, this is a grand-slam for many, as endings and beginnings are an inevitable part of life.

Remember who you are….. 

The Cancer New Moon and Solar Eclipse will sextile Uranus in Taurus, bringing support to your financial goals and overall sense of self-worth. So even if the world around and within you feels shaky, know that you are protected and can turn things around. Trust your gut. 

If you’ve been looking to rebuild any area of your life, this is the time to do it (or start seriously thinking about it). 

The practical energy of Uranus in Taurus supports the emotional desires of Cancer but in a sustainable way. 

Even if you are crying your eyes out or bringing in Father’s Day with your family, stay grounded, and keep your eye on the prize. Don’t let emotions and sensitivities deter you from your long-term goal. 

Let go of the past...

As the Cancer New Moon and Solar Eclipse form an intense square with Chiron in Aries,  touchy subjects from the past may come up for clearing and reevaluation, so be willing to sit with what’s wounding you. 

For many, this wounding deals with a feeling of rejection, resentment, or unforgiven events that were most likely out of your control. 

Even if you did play a major part in your wounding, learn to forgive yourself. 

Instead of focusing on what did or didn’t happen, find your future in the present. 

Be willing to consciously observe the past without dragging it into your day. Witness and release. Don’t hold on to the pain.

Cancer: “I open my heart to the unfolding that is ready to breathe through me. I find peace in my present. I find peace in my heart. I know that where I am is not my final destination. So I walk bravely into the unknown, I walk bravely into my destiny. All is well. All are with me.”

I sit with my unfolding, my solitude, my resurrection, and I allow the divine to do its work through me. I am a conduit for great things. And I know that what ends will begin again, bigger and better than ever before. And so it is.” 

Virgo: “I open myself to the world around me. I realize that I am a single being in a collective world, so I allow Spirit to bring me the connections that are conducive to my highest purpose; to the parts of my soul that have laid dormant and silent for far too long. I say yes to new experiences and connections. I am open to unconditional love.” 

Libra: “I am ready to stand in my highest power, claiming the spaces I am ready to claim. I nurture the goals and long-term efforts that were planted years ago.

Capricorn: “I proclaim that my relationships are flourishing, healthy, and built on unconditional love. I trust that who is for me is with me and never without. I give myself the love, affection, and stability I deserve. I honor my rising. I honor my sacredness. I shower myself with self-respect.” 

Aquarius: “I honor my body and its needs. When I feel called, I rest. When I feel called, I am productive. And this is okay with me. I am okay with filling my days with all that brings me peace, consistency, and internal joy. I honor my wellbeing and my wellbeing honors me.” 

Pisces: “I proclaim that doing what I love is important. I place boundaries around my individuality and inner peace. I ask that the Universe give me the guidance, clarity, and inner strength I need to follow my intuition. I have the resources and support I need.” 

What You Need To Know About the Aries 2020 New Moon: Horoscopes + More

How are you? How is your spirit? How is your soul? Are you resting? Are you moving your body? Are you doing your part and taking care?

With so much shifting and ascending,we are in historic times, and the New Moon in Aries brings a period of acceleration, impulsiveness, and manifestation.

Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac, and the New Moon represents the beginning of a new lunar cycle, so this is a great time to set new intentions and start again with a clean slate. 

This year, the New Moon in Aries comes during the middle of some superior planetary energy.

Reaching its peak at 5:39 A.M. EST on March 24, days after and before the Spring Equinox (astrological new year); Mars and Jupiter and Pluto conjunction (3D reprogramming); Sun and Chiron and Lilith conjunction (complete soul healing and awareness); and Saturn and Mars enters Aquarius (A New Earth), be gentle with yourself.

This Planetary energy may provoke multiple moods, feelings, and memories of emotion, and the New Moon enhances that.

When exploring the cosmic effects of the Aries New Moon, one must ask themselves, what am I becoming more aware of?

As a cardinal fire sign, meaning one who lights the path, Aries brings illumination. 

At the same time, Chiron, also known as the wounded healer, is activating a universal call for healing.

Guided by the energy of Aries, Chiron uncovers the illusion of Pisces and encourages you to acknowledge the parts of ourselves, loved ones, neighborhoods, communities, and planets that need more love, respect, and attention. 

During a time of many changes, it’s never been more important that you take care of your body, home, and Spirit. 

You may find yourself more combative or willful than usual, and this is because of the underlying influence of Mars, the ruler of Aries. 

The best way to channel the fiery influence of Aries is to center yourself and get active. Be mindful to take control of your resources and find the advantage in every situation. 

With Venus still in grounding Taurus, it may be best to set motivating routines and schedules that uplift you and raise your vibration. Avoid eating dead foods and using avoidance as a method of coping. 

Because Aries energy is naturally impulsive, you may experience extreme highs and lows in your emotions. With many of us being quarantined, this can cause dramatic effects in the body, especially the back, neck, arms, and legs. 

To help combat anxiety, restlessness, and body aches, stretch. But if possible, it may be helpful to use light weights, do yoga/Pilates, or run. 

Although it may seem like things are out of sorts, they are coming together. The Aries New Moon is a bright light in the middle of darkness encouraging you to hold on, preserve your strength, get active, and use this period of ascension as a path to greater humanity. 

Take a moment to give thanks for all that you are, have, and will evolve into. Allow yourself to surrender to the spontaneous manifestation and holistic healing powers of Spirit. 

Ask yourself, How can I serve? How can I contribute? How can I uplift and inspire humanity? 

Just remember that Aries represents quick-yielding, fast results, so focus on the short-term. 

What can you consciously do now that will positively affect later?

Interesting Information Aries New Moon: 

• This is the first astrological new year of the decade. Combined with the potent cosmic energy of Saturn's move into Aquarius, we are in the beginning stages of a new Karmic Cycle. Welcome the Age of Aquarius. 

• The New Moon in Aries will occur on a universal four day in a universal four year. In numerology, the number four represents your core foundation; the inner strength, patience, and wisdom that keeps you grounded. 

•  The New Moon will occur at exactly 4° Aries, symbolizing emotional strength/action and rebuilding the concept of family and home. This is a trend in the cosmos right now as the New Moon in Pisces (February 2020) occurred at 4°, the New Moon in Aquarius (January 2020) occurred at 4°, and the Capricorn New Moon Solar Eclipse (December 2019) occurred at 4°. 

• The New Moon in Aries will square the North Node in Cancer and South Node in Cancer at 3-4°. This aspect brings tension between the home and the public/state.

You should use this as an opportunity to establish more structure and peace in your home.

New Moon in Aquarius 2020: What You Need to Know

Happy Aquarius New Moon, Love! Welcome to the Aquarius/Leo lunar cycle. This is the First New Moon of the Year, symbolizing the start of a New Lunar Year and emotional cycle. Aligned with The Sun and Mercury in Aquarius, you should feel a release of anxiety, nervousness, and pessimistic thought. Where you felt limited before, you should feel free. Even if it’s just a small change of energy, every shift counts. 

Before I share the 3 major themes, lessons, and takeaways from the powerful Aquarius New Moon, ask yourself:

What ideas am I ready to give birth to? What collaboration am I ready to begin? What gifts and talents are ready to be shared on a larger scale? In what ways can I give back? What area of my life is ready for improvement? How can I creatively address the limitations and worries of the past season? 

 All of these questions reflect the innovative energy of January’s Aquarius New Moon. So, be honest and imaginative in your answers. There is no right or wrong way.

3 Things you should know, learn, and take away from the Aquarius New Moon based on the astrological influences: 

1. There is an increase in emotional and sexual impulses:

With Venus in Pisces square Mars in Sagittarius, we are more emotionally charged than usual. We tend to be more attached to our sexual instincts, impulses, and desires. With the Sun and Moon aligned in Aquarius, we have a more open-minded, go with the flow, let’s keep this casual mentality in terms of our affairs. In its light, this aspect can be channeled into mind-blowing creative work and inspirations. With Aquarius stimulating the mind, Pisces opening up divine channels through the heart, and Sagittarius serving direct honesty, this equals brainstorming at its finest. This can also lead to some pretty intense sex, chemistry, and conversations. However, in its shadow, this equals master manipulation and deception; someone who knows how to use their power for their selfish good.

Ways to respond, channel, and work with this energy: 

• Movement. With the Sacral and Solar Plexus chakra being overly stimulated right now, we need to find healthy ways to integrate and harmonize this energy with our body. If you are able, try hip opening or bridge yoga poses. This will help you balance and remove blockages. 

• Sex or masturbation. There’s nothing wrong with sex between two conscious and consenting adults. If you are single, practicing celibacy, or for any other reason unable to have sex with another person, please yourself. 

• Breath of Fire. There is a powerful breathing technique called the “Breath of Fire.” This breathing technique is excellent for raising and connecting the energy of the lower chakras to the higher chakras for unison and balance. 

• Chanting. Aquarius is an air sign. Air signs are the communicators of the Zodiac. With the Moon and Sun square Uranus in Taurus (who rules the throat), it is helpful to use sound and voice to direct and harmonize the energy in your body.

2. Strong desire to release old ways, habits, relationships, and beliefs:

With the Sun and Moon in Aquarius sextile Chiron in Aries, we are more aware of our deeper issues and the best solution(s) to resolve it. This is a feeling of support and encouragement from the universe, friends, family, and team members that you do possess the personal power to overcome your deep-rooted obstacles. With Chiron being the wounded healer and Aquarius being the humanitarian, we may find healing in giving others what we are seeking in ourselves. For instance, if you feel a sense of insecurity or fear about your appearance, you may find yourself affirming the beauty or physical appearance of others. Although this may feel vain or condescending, it isn’t as long as your intention is pure. Being a mirror for what you wish to attract or reflect is the main ingredient in manifestation. So, continue to be the light for others because you are light yourself.

Ways to respond, channel, and work with this energy: 

• Make a list of all the things that you wish to attract or reflect in yourself and go do it for others. 

• Share your gifts or give something away. It doesn’t have to be anything drastic. A hug, smile, or a simple I love you is enough. 

• Plan, organize or take part in a group ritual or healing ceremony. It doesn’t have to be anything extravagant. A group is two or more people. 

• Make a list of all the nice things others have done for you. Sometimes this transit makes you feel alone, but this task is a simple reminder that you are unconditionally loved and supported. 

3. Increased connections to the Higher Self, Universal Consciousness, and Authentic Community Support:

With the Sun and Moon in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus, a desire for originality, self-expression, and security are heightened. These aspects typically manifest in very unusual and sometimes dramatic ways. We may feel a gnawing desire to transform our community reputation and connect to our higher self/power. This usually comes through a feeling of experimentation and excitement based on our perception of freedom. With Uranus in Taurus, our perception of freedom is directly tied to self-worth, value, and ownership. This energy despises the monotonous routine. In its light, we may find ourselves connecting with like-minded individuals who support our desire for more spontaneity, self-expression, and creative purpose. In its shadow, this energy manifests as someone impulsive, rebellious, and strong-minded to the point of loss or aggression. Be mindful that this lunation encourages a rebirth of personal power and community engagement. However, with Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in Capricorn, reservation and practical judgment are still necessary for long-term growth and stability. 

Ways to respond, channel, and work with this energy: 

• Do a brain dump. Your ideas are most likely all over the place and this energy is not the time to go charging forward. Instead, let your brain wander endlessly all over the page. Hold a brainstorming session with your creative and inspiring friends and commit to being open to any possibility. Put all your ideas on paper and let them sit. You’ll know which ones to pursue around the First Quarter Moon on Feb 1. 

• Do something fun and spontaneous. If you try to hold this energy in, you’ll end up doing something you’ll regret. Instead of restraining it, practice self-discipline. Sing karaoke, go dancing, go skinny dipping (in a safe location), let your wildest dreams play out in a healthy and moderated way. 

• Be open to innovative solutions for traditional goals. There are limitations to life, that’s just the 3D world we live in. But even limitations can be freeing. Think of ways that structure frees you. Acknowledge and give gratitude for their purpose in your life. 

Lessons and Affirmations for the Signs: 

Aries: Be open to joining a group or collective energy source. Also, make sure that you protect your intellectual property and ideas.

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.

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.

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.

September 2018: Virgo New Moon and Horoscopes

Efficiency: New Moon in Virgo 

“The Moon is always new when you are one one within” - Erykah Badu.

New moons open up heaven’s gates. They are the portal into the everlasting tunnel of light and dark. They give us the hope to face our future and the wisdom to face what is real, what is possible. As you may know the new Moon phase is the first phase of any lunar (Moon) cycle. The new Moon is a continuation of darkness, fertile soil, the womb. It is a period of fertilization, a time most beneficial to plant new seeds, intentions, habits, behaviors, and relationships with the realization that they need time to grow. Western culture perpetuates the lunar power of the moon through the endless slew of movies that interpret the moon’s power as a phenomenon of magic, luck, and uncontrollable power. We see this rhetoric in the form of werewolves and witches, western cultures way of speaking truth with a sprinkle of bull.

The September 2018 New Moon in Virgo continues its natal path through the Zodiac after a illuminating Leo New Moon and Solar Eclipse. This fiery time set our insides ablaze, creating earthquakes within our souls to break up the destruction of holding on to the past. Virgo comes along and adds matter, Earth, and form to the ashes of what was. Now we look at the truth, now we sift through what works and what doesn’t, what feels good and what doesn’t — now we move ahead.

But before we can move ahead full steam we must embrace the lessons of the path brought forth in Saturn, Pluto, and Mars Retrograde period. Over the past 5 months all three planets have experienced the potency of Capricorn’s diligence and desire for security. This dynamic created an intense summer full of delays, setbacks, conflicts, and opportunities to strengthen through belief, faith, and knowing. This is our moment to sit in the darkness and let it speak to us, let it guide us to the intentions and lessons that must blossom and birth the new life we are all creating and anxiously seeking.

Virgo is the 6th constellation of the Zodiac and it teaches us the patient sacrifice of responsibility and service. It awakens the nurturer in us all and encourages us to love our work, to be patient with our work, and to share, share, share our work without limitation. If you feel the desire to plan, organize, declutter, strategize, perfect or rework a situation then it’s best to follow that instinct. However, this is a beautiful new Moon to rest your working-boots and give thanks to the precession of your immeasurable growth. Use this new Moon, this day, this moment and now to sing praise to your family as Virgo is a family-oriented sign. Give breathe to your goals by allowing them to grow. When you plant your seed in the ground do you sit and stare at it for 72 hours straight waiting for it to grow? Give space to your dreams, give space to your hopes, let them do their thing and come back to you fuller, prosperous, and ready.

Affirmation: I am new. My life is free-flowing, efficient, aligned, and productive in and with Spirit. 

---

What does this mean? 

This means change. It means every aspect of your life is being transformed with efficiency, with labor, and with grace. Virgo’s sensuality ripples through each and every one of us cultivating a deeper desire for intimacy and connection. With our universal 11/2 year and month relationships take center stage in our physical and spiritual realms. Our focus on relationships forces us to evaluate who we work with, what labor means for us, and how this affects us on a global and collective scale.

Lessons of patience, contemplation, and observation draw us forward and ask us to be more present with ourselves and our families. Virgo’s family-oriented vibe stimulates the tensions present between Mars and Capricorn, Pluto and Capricorn, and Venus in Scorpio. If you are unfamiliar with how these energies affect you I suggest looking for each in your natal chart and observing how this affects you today.

How does this affect me? 

Ever wondered why there was a holiday for rest, an action that should be habitual and not socially praised? On this short episode of The Newsletter Morgan explores the notion of labor day and its effects on present and future-day society. She poses the question of liberation through rest, a practice strengthed through her encounter with the Nap Ministry, an organization committed to the liberation of colored folks through rest. What is rest, Morgan asks. How do you engage with it? What role does it play in your relationship with Self and others?

Planetary Aspects: 

Venus enters Scorpio Sept. 9, 2018

Venus has been in Libra, the sign of love and Beauty since August 6. Today, September 9 on the same day as the Virgo New Moon Venus will enter the 8th constellation of the Zodiac, Scorpio. When Venus is in Scorpio our relationships acquire a layer of depth, intensity, and mysticism. Our resources become more shared, communal, and formed on the basis of self-leadership. Scorpio is a fixed water sign. It represents the feminine components of yin energy, the right side of the brain. Together Scorpio and Venus are possessive, passionate, and sometimes envious. Scorpio desires control and Venus needs connection. Venus will be in Scorpio until October 31st and we should use this long transit to uncover the deepest parts of ourself. How do we relate to others? What values do we  hold for our relationships? Our time? Our money?

Scorpio resembles the emotional aspect to our self-journey and empowerment. Scorpio asks us to be honest with our past life lessons, ancestral lineage, and shared possessions. Scorpio likes to get to the root of all things, knowledge, and wisdom. It desires knowing, depth, and sorcery. During Venus’s eight-week transit in Scorpio expect to get acquainted with diving deep. Use this period to transform your relationships to be more congruent and aligned with your highest hopes, dreams, values, and ideals of love, prosperity, and community. Imagine yourself as the leader. What would you do?

 Mars enters Aquarius Sept 10, 2018.

Over the past 3 weeks Mars has been in the tenth constellation of the Zodiac, Capricorn. Mars is the planet of action, will, and desire. It supplements or inner urges and directs our expressions of energy outward and inward. When Mars is in Aquarius our motivation is liberation. We desire to be free, we desire to be heard, to explore, to transcend, and to make new. Aquarius is the 11th constellation of the Zodiac and represents our individual essence in correspondence with the whole. Mars highlights Aquarius’s desire to be free and express its innovations with radicalism, excitement, and wisdom. Although these two naturally get along well, this energy can be imbalanced if too much effort is placed on going against the grain rather than reframing it.

With the internal and external changes taking place within our individual and collective societies, we must take responsibility and action for the much needed changes looming implementation.

What structures, foundations, systems, processes, and belief systems have you internalized over the past 6 weeks that are ready to enter into their first, next, or final stage. This placement gives those initiatives a green light but we should continue to move with patience, efficiency, and precision especially while the Sun is still in strategic Virgo and Pluto still Retrograde in Capricorn. Over time our confidence holds and our resources multiply. When Pluto stations direct on September 30, 2018 we will embody the transformation within providing a harmonious flow without. Until then, use this time to take slow, patient, definitive steps towards the right direction.

First Quarter Moon in Sagittarius September 16, 2018 at 7:15 PM

The First Quarter Moon is the second major phase of the lunar cycle. It represents a period of balance, illumination and darkness and fullness and void. When the Moon is waxing and half-lit we are conscious of the path and it’s unfoldment — the seeds of the new moon are sprouting and a sense of direction overcomes us. The FQ Moon is a time of ripeness and productivity. We feel inspired and courageous motivating us to walk closer and implement the first phases of the dream. Although this period can be productive it is best to pace yourself and be realistic about what is to be expected and accomplished in this fluctuating time.

The September FQ Moon occurs in the 9th constellation of the Zodiac Sagittarius. Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign whose polarity is yang, the masculine essence and left side of the brain. When the FQ Moon occurs in Sagittarius we are reminded of the deep lessons of last months Scorpio FQ Moon. Instead of imagining new ways to transform we are blessed with the optimism of Sagittarius to see them through. Our vision is expansive, non-traditional, and creative. With several planetary aspects surrounding Mercury in Virgo, the communication planet in its natural placement of Virgo inspires us to get strategic and practical with our missions. Sagittarius asks you what are you waiting for while Virgo’s fine sense of detail gives you the plan to actually see it through. This is go for it energy. Trust the universe’s  call to take a leap. Don’t get caught up in Mercury’s over analyzing ways. Everything doesn’t have to be perfect, you are perfect as you are, your idea is perfect as it is, give it time to evolve but put it out there, the time is now.

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.
