Full Moon: April 19th-21st

Keywords: Balance, finding value in self and relationships, self-worth, shifting, next steps, ego release, back to centre

March’s full moon in Libra invited us to step through a new open energy portal that is finding its close with this full moon in April, which is also in Libra. In March, you may have felt a powerful shift start to occur in and around you. Doubts heightened, stresses emphasized and the ever existential questioning of “what does this all mean?” came into play. What are we doing with our lives? Is the path I am currently on the one I am meant to walk for the rest of my days? Am I resigned to this office, this house, this relationship forever?

The Answer Is Hard To Except

This past month or so so, we have been coming face to face with answers that we may or may not have wanted to confront. The reason is that change is hard. The unknown is worrisome. You may no longer be finding fulfillment in your current situation, but facing that as an actual reality is frightening. If I am not this person in this situation, then who am I at all?

You Are Value and Worthiness Manifested

Who you are is your inner being, who watches the world pass, without any opinions or fears or worries or concerns.Your inner being is your centre point, your equilibrium, that to which we must return frequently. This full moon we are called to come back to our centre, find our point of beginning and our point of end and prepare to move forward a new. Where do your present fears of change stem from? Often when we frightened of changes that we are called to, it is because of egotistic matters. For example, if you were to leave your high profile and respectable job to pursue a career in dog walking, what would others think? And how would your finances take a blow? Would you need to find a smaller apartment? What will your parents and friends think of that? And speaking of my friends, there are a few I could do without, but I can’t stop going out with this group of people because who would make new friends with me at my age? How do people my age even make new friends?

Enough With The Ego
We all have questions like this, but it is simply our egos trying to win a war with our inner being, and this war is one sided.Your inner being is there. The core of who you are is there and you already know the answers. The answer is you will be ok. So let go of the ego and get ready to close the portal door. Thank it for the shifts and emotions and new ideas it brought you this month. Come to centre and under this full moon, get ready to move ahead.

New Moon: April 5th

Key Words: Surrender, Alignment, Manifesting, Soul Journey, Resist the Ego, Highest Truth, Opportunity, Evolve, Grow and Let Go

One of the most difficult parts of any life journey is working hard towards something we think we want, only to be shown later in some capacity that it’s actually not what we want at all. Don’t be surprised during April’s moon cycle if you hit a wall with a project or life choice you have been working diligently on. In fact, don’t be surprised if you realize suddenly that what you think has been your life’s work turns out that it has only been a stepping stone to the next phase in your soul’s journey.

Yikes! Sounds terrifying, right? Change always is, especially when it comes suddenly. This new moon in Aries marks the midway point of a fiercely telling energy portal that was triggered by the March Super Moon and that will close during April’s full moon. This strong energy will rain clarity on situations that may have been leaving murky question marks throughout your life.

Face-To-Face with The Ego

Many of our life’s choices are ego-driven, when we sit down and think about them. What have you been prioritizing in your life the past few years? Are you able to identify which part of you has been driving you to put energy into these areas? Is it your ego or is it what your soul has truly desired? Remember, we change and we change frequently, so don’t be afraid if suddenly something that has mattered so much to you in the past few years doesn’t seem to matter much at all any more.

This new moon asks us to go dark with it and retreat back into our souls. Connect with your inner being and work to shut down the ego, the fears and the old belief patterns that tell us what a successful life needs to look like. You are not here on this earth simply to show people from your high school that your life is good because it looks like it on Instagram. You are here because your soul wanted to incarnate itself within your body for a journey and a purpose beyond explanation.

But Success Is Good Too, No?

Of course! Along with the seriousness of this new moon, there is great potential for rewarding opportunity afoot! After a harsh winter, we are ready to embrace the abundance of spring, both in season and in life. If you have been putting in the work this winter, expect opportunity to shine down upon you. There is amazing potential for success in both business and in relationships. Note that we may be prone to discouragement this new moon, in spite of the wealth of exciting opportunity before us. Remember to ground yourself when you feel slightly overwhelmed and ask yourself if your fears and insecurities are truly valid or if your ego is simply running amok?

Let Go and Get Aligned

In short, this new moon invites us to let go. If something isn’t making you happy, even if it has been the centre of your world for the past decade like a relationship or a home or a job, then let it go. Let it GO! Embrace freedom. Do what you need to do to find alignment and reignite your fire.

Moon Cycle: From September 9th – October 7th

Full Moon: September 24th 

Keywords: Harvest, Practicality, Health, Self-Care, Simplification, Integrity, Opportunity, Success, Flexibility

This Sunday, we are welcoming the new moon in Virgo. While this new cycle puts a final stamp on the summer, many of us may find ourselves looking toward the next phase in our journeys with a certain wisdom and newfound understanding of ourselves. This summer, it seemed as though the universe did everything in its cosmic powers to give us the tools we needed to go deep within ourselves, and to help us come out of the heat and confusion with a bit more clarity about who we are and what we want. It’s only natural that we are now passed on to the practical and meticulous hands of Virgo to help us sift through what was uncovered and go into the next phase with a bit more insight as to who we want to be.

Virgo invites us to find our deepest and purest emotions to help us set truthful intentions for this next phase. Essentially, we will uncover our own secrets, if they have not been revealed to us already this summer. Virgo helps us determine who we are and what we want to call in to our experience, as well as shows us everything we no longer need. This practical new moon, we are called to unapologetically cut out everything that is keeping us from being our best selves. This can mean old habits and negative thought-patterns or even people who are dragging you down.

Harvest for 2019

The new moon in Virgo is when we harvest opportunities and work to translate them in to future successes and triumphs. In fact, opportunities will be abundant during this time. The various angles of this new moon in relation to Jupiter and Pluto mean that we are open to good luck as well as opportunities for happiness and success. Good fortune is on its way, and it is up to us to sift through the noise and time-wasters that won’t serve you. Because opportunities will be coming at you in more abundance, it will be important to tap into the practical nature of Virgo to determine what is a real opportunity and what isn’t a good use of your valuable energy and resources.

Neptune’s a Bitch 

That said, beware of any feelings of insecurity or discouragement. This new moon is opposite Neptune which means we may face challenges dealing with feelings of competition or assertive people. These feelings may put our ego on overdrive and have us puffing out our chests to show who we are and what we can do. Don’t give in to the games of others. If you are focusing on them, you cannot focus on your own path. Remember, the universe is effecting everyone the same way. Expect other people to be hustling to achieve their own goals. Let them move in their own lives. Cheer on the success of your competitors. There is enough success and abundance for everyone and their success can’t effect yours.  .

And Finally, Self-Care 

Nourish your body, your sacred temple this moon cycle. Life will be picking up pace after a dozy summer, but that’s no reason to let your self-care rituals slide. Make time for yoga, for sleep, for washing your face and making a cup of herbal tea. Make time to meditate, to sit and do nothing and to rest. Your body is your earthly vehicle to create the experiences you want. The new moon in Virgo reminds us to honour our health and peace of mind.
