New Moon: February 16th – 18th | Cold Moon

Moon Cycle: January 19 – February 18

Keywords: thinking, community, growth, independence.

The sun is in Aquarius aka we’re ready to be in charge of what we want. Take this time to use your motivations to drive your next moves. The easy-going airy energy from the ruling sign makes these things more achievable. Represented by the owl, the independent, wise and humble animal of the forest, we can expect to mimic exactly this. Enjoy your month, we’ve got plenty to look forward to and keep your eye on the prize. The cold moon is coming in on January 16th, which calls for bundling up, both literally and figuratively.

Community Support

It’s fair to say that as much as we want to get back out there into our “normal” life, covid seems to keep popping back up. Try to think about the fact that it’s a global experience we’re going through as individualized as it may seem because we’re all facing different things from this pandemic. Use your community for support to do the best that you can with the situation in front and continue to get through it together. It’s also a big-time to get social, as the airy Aquarius loves to hang. Find a way to make time for things that bring you joy and do it with a friend. Remember back when people were doing street concerts for their neighbours at the start of the pandemic? Let’s get back to those friendly vibes, with less of the unknown stress.

Words to Ourselves

Aquarius individuals like to be bold, but don’t let this get too ahead of you though. Sometimes, keeping quiet is a better response to someone irritating you than to fight it with fire. Taking the high road always leaves you feeling better than arguing and spending the rest of the day thinking about it. Especially since Aquarius is big into deep thinking let yourself have a little break when you can.

Dreamers in Reality

Now that the New Years’ buzz is fading a little bit, it’s time to get down into our goals and leave out the fluff. Aquarius energy will help by powering up its analytical side. How can you make your dream a reality? By living it! Maybe the old fake it till you make it is exactly what we need (but don’t forget to feel your true feelings).

Lunar New Year

On February first, the Lunar New Year is coming in with a roar with the tiger representing it. You can find more about the Lunar New Year in our New Year vs birthday reset poll debate article here where we asked our Instagram followers which feels like more of a reset to them.

New Moon: January 24-27

Moon Cycle: January 24-February 22

Keywords: Change, mood swings, emotions, opportunity for success, reflect on old behaviours and beliefs, emotional perspective

Change Is Nigh 

The first new moon of 2020 will not be without its challenges. Uranus which is ruled by Aquarius will be in tense alignment with the sun, creating stronger affects of the new moon that are sure to set off in some people periods of anxiety and emotional upheaval, with the potential for abrupt changes that can jolt us out of our comfort zones.

If there has been something you have been expecting and anticipating – news, a promotion, an opportunity, etc. – there is an opportunity that this new moon could unveil a new perspective on the situation for you. Our emotions will be trying to speak to us and this is a very good time to allow them to come up and flow through. If something you have been longing for does not seem as though it will turn out exactly as expected, it will be critical to not get carried away by your initial attachment to the outcome. In fact, you may be pleasantly surprised with the way things end up turning out. Allow that to come through. Changes happen externally and we need to be able to change our points of view internally to find the abundance and lessons in each and every situation.

Be Open – Mind, Body, Soul and Heart

Because the possibility for change is extremely high with this new moon, we will do well to remain open in every aspect. Remain open in how the changes can affect you and your life for the better, remain open to how others may be feeling the affects of the new moon and to the fact that their reactions do not reflect anything about you. Keep your heart open to how others are experiencing their own challenges and changes during this time. You do not have to absorb anyone else’s negative energy, but ensure to acknowledge and honour the journey’s of others. Be kind, be understanding and send out love to anyone you think may be struggling.

If you change finds you off guard this new moon, keep an open mind about what is happening around you and the situations you find yourself in. Get ready to think on your toes and embrace flexibility. In a phrase – go with the flow. You may enjoy the ride and be pleased with where you end up.

Community and Love

With the new moon in the sign of Aquarius, it is a time to think about how we can lend our strengths and voices to our community and the collective. With so many parts of the world facing great tragedy, it can be overwhelming and cause many to think that we our powerless. It isn’t true. Find time this new moon to extend love to your community. Every action of love and kindness you do contributes to the collective consciousness. Your light will expand further than you know.

Full Moon: August 15-18

Is There Such a Thing as Too Grounded? 

Sometimes. While being grounded is typically a good thing, oftentimes we can find ourselves so fully rooted in the cause and circumstances of our time here on earth that we forget to actually enjoy the beauty that truly is life! Life in all its glory includes the ups, the downs, trials and tribulations and the way we deal with challenging people and circumstances. The astrological and moon cycles of this summer have truly challenged us reflect upon who we are,  our purpose, our relationships and our place on earth. While it is wonderful to lend time to contemplation here and again, it can become all consuming when we allow ourselves to get distracted with situations, people and things that simply will not matter in a year from now. As humans, we can become so deeply rooted in the earth’s comings and goings that we forget to enjoy the lives we have created for ourselves.

During this beautiful full moon in Aquarius, we are invited to get out of our own heads for a bit and take a deep dive into the glorious unknown.

Heal and Serve 

There is truly a healer within all of us. Aquarius is an air sign, and carries the traits of a humanitarian. This full moon, the energies of Aquarius encourage us to tap into our giving sides and observe those around us in our immediate groups or communities who could use extra support. By removing the focus from our own needs and spending our energy on serving others, we will automatically develop rich karmic connections this full moon that will bring great gifts in the future. So put aside some time over the next few days to see where you can offer support and love to someone or a cause close to your heart. Remember though, in order to heal others, you must ensure that your own cup is full. So take time to fill your own cup this full moon by giving energy to what lifts your spirits.

This Sex is On Fire 

As this full moon is opposite the planet Venus, our love lives and relationships may be brought to the forefront. This particular planetary placement lends possibility to potential tension in matters of the heart. As such, it is important to be practice patience in your relationships if you see matters start to get off track. You may find you are longing for fulfillment and attachment in love and as such, a perceived lack in this area can potentially send some in the direction of immediate gratification in the form of overspending, eating or drinking. If you find your heart is longing to expend love and you feel you have no one to spread that too, see above. Extend the love to yourself or embrace serving your community in a productive and kind way.

You’re Already Rich

While financial matters may also be brought to the forefront this full moon, we will do well to remind ourselves of our present riches. Practicing gratitude for our blessings this full moon will offer rewards tenfold. Stepping into an abundance mindset will work towards manifesting riches beyond our dreams.

Above All, Patience

During the full moon in Aquarius, we may find ourselves still in the middle of where we were and where we want to go. Patience, reflection and gratitude are our best friends. Practicing self-love and spending time showing your loved ones how you care will go a long way. Don’t look too far ahead. Take a swim and enjoy the pleasant, gentle movement of the stream of life.

Full Moon: February 19th

Keywords: Good news, hope, optimism, joy, spiritual awareness, growth, abundance, understanding, happiness, good fortune

While the first new moon of the year set us in the right direction towards achieving our goals and dreams in 2019, the majority of us may feel as though January really put us through the ringer. The Super Wolf Blood Moon illuminated the shadowy sides of our selves and our relationships. We were confronted face to face with our egos and for many of us, it got ugly. In defence of our ego and selves, we fought battles that, in any other time, we would have left alone or at least approached with an altered perspective.

With this new moon in Aquarius, we are invited to honour everything that came up in January, learn from it and let it go. This is a very exciting moon cycle and we need to be free of spirit, heart and mind to reap the gifts it will bestow.

We’ve Been Waiting for This One

This new moon is indeed one of the most positive moon phases in quite some time. The alignment of the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Jupiter are signs of good luck, great news, happiness and optimism. Essentially, if you have been putting in the work on either a spiritual, personal, relationship or career level, the rewards of your efforts will start to come to light. We can look forward to a season of abundance and joy. Observe your mind as it reacts to the abundance and gifts that come your way this month. Allow yourself to enjoy every moment of happiness and deserved joy. Align yourself to attract the opportunities that you want to come into your life. They are literally floating in your vortex, you just have to allow them in.

Listen to Yourself 

The abundance of this moon cycle will be bestowed upon those who have invested in their spiritual selves. Our inner selves will be active in guiding our decision making this new moon to bring us the best results. Take the time to listen to what your guidance system is telling you. Your gut will be a strong driver to your success. Tend to your spirit this month through meditation, self-care, quiet, exercise, and activities that bring you true alignment and happiness. It is in these places and states you will have access to the messages you are meant to receive, those that will guide you on a path to great success and wealth.

Gather and Circle 

This is a beautiful month for gathering and connecting with friends and spiritual guides. Meet up with friends, set up times for close bonding or simple outings. Or better yet, go to a circling ceremony for February’s full moon. Connection will bring you prosperity,
