New Moon in Sagittarius

Sagittarius New Moon

Less than a week into Sagittarius season, the Sun and Moon come together at 7:06am PDT tomorrow. The New Moon is a time to dream a new dream.

Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, benevolence and abundance, this New Moon’s energy is one of wisdom and optimism. 

Jupiter has spent the last year in Sagittarius, and as it moves through the finals degrees of its home sign we are attuned to intuitive insight and spiritual inspiration.

Sagittarius is an energy of hope, luck and idealism. It encourages us to aim high and not concern ourselves with the details. Sagittarius sees the big picture, and allows optimism to fuel the journey.  

This New Moon asks you to honor your dreams and to listen to what is calling you. 

What is the vision for your life? What are your hopes and dreams?

Give voice to your intentions and trust that the path will appear.

New Moon in Scorpio

Scorpio New Moon

When change is met with resistance, it disrupts. When change is met with openness, it frees. Embracing the freedom that comes from change is the freedom that opens us up to pure creative potential.

This evening the Sun and Moon join at 4° of Scorpio. The face of the moon goes into complete darkness, and we begin a new cycle of transformation. Scorpio is the sign of power, emotional attachments, and the shadow. It takes us into the psychological depths we rarely dive into- and it is where we experience death, transformation and rebirth.

In exact opposition to the Sun and Moon in Scorpio is Uranus, at 4° of Taurus. Uranus is a planet that creates upheaval, innovation, and chaos. It is revolutionary, confrontational, and electric. Uranus brings insight and new ideas when we are open to it. However it can also feel extremely destabilizing and uncomfortable.

The tension of this lunation between the Sun and Moon in opposition to Uranus is forcing change, whether or not we are ready or willing. We are given permission to rebel against the psychological wounding that has kept us feeling trapped or powerless. We are able to set ourselves free by connecting to spirit and journeying into the underworld.

Scorpio season is a time to dive deep into the subconscious realm, to acknowledge all parts of our selves, and to initiate a process of healing. It is a time to rise from the ashes and emerge anew.

New Moon in Libra

New Moon in Libra

Libra begins the second half of the zodiac. At the spring equinox, the sun moves into Aries- the sign of the self. At the vernal equinox, the sun moves into Libra- the sign of relationship.

Libra is a sign of justice, and it seeks balance. Deeply aware of its surroundings- Libra seeks to keep the peace in its environment and everyone in it.

Ruled by Venus, Libra is an energy of unification, affirmation, and beauty.

The ruler of today’s New Moon in Libra is Venus. She is in one of her home signs- Libra, making this New Moon especially sweet, generous and charming. The Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus all in the sign of harmony and beauty bring a strength to this lunar cycle- inviting us to plant a new seed of intention.

What new relationships do you wish to create in your life?

What existing relationships are in need of more balance, harmony, and ease?

Relationships take several forms- not just romantic. This is a moment to evaluate your relationship to money, to what you value, to your friendships and partnerships, and to your creativity.

The most important relationship is your relationship to your self. As you tune in, center yourself, and become clear in who you are, your relationships in turn will reflect that back to you.

New Moon Blessings.

New Moon in Leo

Heart of Gold: New Moon in Leo

Something new is taking form. We move into darkness this evening as the Sun and Moon join together at the 8th degree of Leo. Leo is the sign of the sun, the sign of the heart, and the sign of gold. At the New Moon we begin again, and in the sign of Leo, we initiate a new cycle- one of living from a courageous, heart-centered space- unafraid to express our creativity.

Leo shines in the spotlight. Its energy is magnetic and abundant. At its true essence, Leo reminds us to take ownership of our uniqueness, and that there is enough light for everyone. Leo emanates from the heart, from the center- just as the sun radiates light from the center of our solar system.

At this New Moon, Mercury is beginning to station and move forward in the zodiac again. Mercury has been in its retrograde cycle since July 7, turning our mind inward and reviewing the previous couple of weeks. The stopping point of Mercury is at the 23rd degree of Cancer. The lunar eclipse that took place on July 16 was at the 24th degree: Sun in Cancer, Moon in Capricorn. As Mercury moves through the final degrees of Cancer and back into Leo, listen for any messages you may have missed or overlooked at the time of the full moon. Mercury retrograde can be a time of insight, as information surfaces that may not have been as obvious prior.

This New Moon is a time to set an intention of creation. What does your soul long to express? What if you could express this desire without fear or doubt or judgment?

Trust your heart- then surrender your attachment to the outcome.

Over the next couple of weeks the planets moving through Leo will be in conversation with others planets- bringing us expansion and abundance, as well as challenging us to go with the flow and embrace change.

Your heart is gold. Let it shine brightly.
