"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.

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?

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.

Important Planetary Aspects:
Sun enters aries March 20th until April 19th
The Sun represents how we express ourselves and how we experience life. On March 20th, 2018 the Sun makes its annual transit into the Fire sign of Aries. When the Sun is in Aries it helps to awaken the creative force within us all. Suddenly we have the desire to ACT, NOW. Aries also carries the essence of competition and self assertion. During this time it's important for us to be intentional with the words that we choose. Harsh tongues may burn bridges but make sure you are still direct and honest.
The Sun in Aries also brings a new wave of fresh ideas. We are more confident in acting outside of the box. We are ready to be better than we were before. Just remember that this energy brings impatience. With Saturn and Mars in Capricorn there is great reward in being practical and strategizing for the long term. Go slow and confidently. Nothing can stop the patient believer.
Mercury Goes Retrograde in Aries until April 15th
Mercury represents our communication. It is the planet that births our need to express and to learn. On March 22, 2018 at 8:18 pm Mercury goes retrograde in Aries until April 15th. Mercury retrograde typically presents itself as a slow time where problem solving and reworking is favored. Mercury Retrograde is not a time to kick things into high gear. Instead this slow down asks that you review what you have recently started for errors and areas of revision.
This march’s retrograde in Aries is Challenging Mercury’s desires to slow down. The Aries fire sign essence influences you to speed up with little thought or feeling. This brings experiences of collision or chaos. These experiences birth the necessary awakenings needed to continue our acceleration into new ground. So don’t be alarmed if you find yourself in heated debates or passionate exchanges. Mercury in Aries intensifies the bold, direct, fiery communication notorious of the retrograde period. Finding a consistent paced routine brings manifested results with less resistance during this time.
General Affirmations for This Week:
I am aware of my fire. I use this energy to release the habits that have burdened my ability to give.
I am creative. I can do anything I allow myself to imagine. Anything is possible now and I dare to dream.
I am compassionate in my speech and behavior. I choose words that connect with one.
I am both giving and self loving. I honor my need to nourish my Self and purpose first.
I honor the fire of this time. Moving through the spaces that once gave me pain. I choose joy. I choose movement. I am rebirth.
General Energy Horoscope For the Week of March 19th - March 26th:
General Ritual For This Time:
Although we are in a time of fire we are being called to ground ourselves in the Earth. With the awakening of the Spring Equinox on March 20th, 2018 and the upcoming retrograde of Mercury in Aries the soil is our friend.
What you will do is very simple. You are called to plant something.
I suggest planting your lessons of this time.
