Inner Circle Strength 

Represented by half person half horse, they show characteristics of strength, resilience and power. When they walk into a room their presence is known. They’re super confident, and they’re happy to transfer that confidence to the people around them. The ones they love are so lucky because they’re extremely loyal and do everything possible to protect them. They like to stay feeling free so being tied down isn’t something they typically enjoy but will do it for their inner circle. They’re always thinking of the ones they love, even though they may not seem like it because their not much bothers them mantra. 

Confidence is Key 

You may find yourself taking on a lot in many aspects of life. As a half horse, Sag’s tends to carry the load of others. If people are opening up to you with personal stories, it may be heavy on your heart. You may also find your work life to be hectic, but remember it’s because you’re such an asset. So with that, time for self-care is extra needed during the next month. Write a list of all of the things that you love to do to tune into your most peaceful state and try to do once a day! Your relationships in life will be ready to take the deeper steps as your loyalty grows stronger. Really take in the moments that you notice opening up with family, friends, partners… Remember the confidence of a Sagittarius and stand tall! 

The Many Moons of Sag Season 

A new moon and solar eclipse land on December 4th, which means future intention making time. We’ve been working so hard at our dreams and maybe even feel like they’re too far away to reach some days. Write it all down. Put it on your vision board. Just get it out of your head and into the universe. Focus on the thing that you’re worried may or may not happen and instead of letting it consume you so you can’t take action, let it start taking action on its own. We’re going to be focusing a lot on our inner circle so we need to also take the time for ourselves. On December 18th, we’re welcoming the Full Moon (Cold Moon), which gets its name from the rather chilly months we have approaching. Get snuggled up in your layers and take the time to really chat this season.

Full Moon: January 10-12

Keywords: Lunar eclipse, eclipse season, heart chakra, clear communication, emotional energy, liberation, setting the stage, expression, family dynamics, authoritarian, strength, protection

There’s a lot of astrological factors at play during this full moon. So many, in fact, that we can’t tackle them all. So we’re just going to focus on the Lunar Eclipse in Cancer.  For more information about all the other things happening this full moon we suggest checking out Astrology King and Forever Conscious.

What Do You Know About Crabs?

Seriously though? Are you a Cancer or are you close to one? Because if so, you know that Cancer life can get a bit watery, emotional and sensitive. Cancers have a lot of feelings and in 2019, they missed out on having a full moon in their sign to help align their souls and shake up their heart chakras. You see, all zodiac signs get their own full moon each year. Ancients believed that when the full moon fell in your sign, your soul had the opportunity to align with the astrological flow of the universe. You could essentially make your peace with what’s what, release the bad and shift more easily into the good. The collective consciousness also taps into the energies and characteristics of the particular astrological sign that the full moon is in.

So because Cancer missed out on their own full moon in 2019, that Cancer energy in all of us has been building up, needing some direction and looking for release and illumination. And not only will the first full moon of 2020 be in the sign of Cancer, it will also be a lunar eclipse. This lunar eclipse, combined with the solar eclipse of December 26 leads us into an eclipse phase that will show its effects through to June, 2020.

Okaaayyyy, So What’s That Mean?

Essentially, whatever happens or comes to light under this full moon will shape the first half of 2020. This is a highly energetically charged time, one in which we can actively set the tone for the next six months of this new decade. And while Cancers can get a bad rap for being super watery and emotional, Cancers are ruled by their heart chakras, so you will have a supercharged and super clear pathway to your inner being and the true desires of your own heart over the next few days. Sitting with yourself, you will be able to hear more clearly exactly what you want for your life over the next six months.

This Is The Time, This Is The Hour

Under this full moon, we will all be inspired by the essence of the crab. If you have noticed around you that others are shape shifting in interesting ways (finding new jobs, transitioning into new roles, itching to make drastic moves), you aren’t alone. Cancers, represented by the crab, are homebodies for sure, but once they grow out of their home, they have no trouble scurrying along the beach to a new one. So if you are feeling the need to move out of your old routines and roles, this is the time. We are reaching a point in humanity where there is no looking back in so many ways. The devastating state of our planet currently is so tragic and we will feel this in our hearts under the full moon. For many of us, looking back is not an option. We must forge forward and find new homes, new places to be and new experiences to fulfill us.

Let It Go

Seriously. If there is anything from the past decade that you are hanging on to – past resentments, old goals that need reshaping, bad habits – now is the time to drop it. We will be fully supported under this full moon when we make clear intentions to shed anything that no longer serves us. While this is a recurring practice under full moons, the lunar eclipse bringing in a new decade will amplify the monumental support you will get to back this up. Give yourself time to lean into the shadow side of your soul and uncover what’s there that you don’t want to bring with you into the next decade. You don’t have to.

Communicate

Finally, this is an excellent full moon for communication. Communicate with your heart and soul and speak your truth. Be honest with yourself, and those who depend on you. If you have something to let out, the full moon will help ensure your communication is supported with your intention.

New Moon: July 2nd – July 4th

Moon Cycle: July 2nd – July 30th (Full Moon July 16th-19th)

Key Words: release, clearing, courage, emotions, connections, page turning, opportunity, embracing your power, honouring personal boundaries

While last July was ignited with astrological activity that shook up our souls and spirits, setting forth the ripples that would become large waves of change, we are heading into this month with a little more clarity, a bit more control and some understanding on who we are and what we want to be. July’s new moon is aligned with a solar eclipse, rendering the new moon supercharged with possibility. Setting intentions for this new moon will be especially important, if we want to leverage the additional energies that are being lent to us with the spirituality of solar eclipse.

Eclipses can ignite our desires and emotions in unpredictable ways, which contradicts the planting and planning stages of a new moon. So simply be mindful that clear and concise intentions for this moon cycle will be crucial if we want to leverage all of the possibilities that are being presented to us!

Note Your Foundations

The new moon falls in Cancer this month. Cancers are ruled by the moon, so as the moon changes phases quickly, the emotions of Cancers are prone to ups and downs, and deep intensity. Expect to be moved by your emotions over the next few days and take the time to acknowledge what comes up. Cancers maintain strong connections to their foundations, their roots, their homes and their families. Note what is occurring in these particular areas of your life right now. And remember that although planet placement may be bringing certain matters to the surface, it does not always mean that these matters are in a dire state. In fact, you may be finding that your connections to your home and your family are feeling strong and well placed. If so, embrace and honour the feeling of having your feet firmly placed on the ground. Acknowledge the joy of feeling supported. If perhaps these elements are in need of some more building and energy, now is the time to plant the seeds. The new moon in Cancer is an excellent time to build momentum towards stability in your home and family.

Draw The Boundary Line

You may have been feeling as though your personal boundaries have been overstepped lately. You’re not alone. Watching others take advantage of your good nature or simply taking more than their share of your personal energy may have left you with a load of frustration. Or you may be bearing internal anger, irritability and annoyance without even knowing the cause. We often do not recognize the sanctity of our personal boundaries. As humans, we default to over-extending ourselves, giving too much of ourselves, and letting others take more than they should. We also tend to willingly offer up more of ourselves than we are capable of giving, leaving us feeling drained, resentful and completely out of alignment.

As we step into this new moon, you may feel that some of the frustration or resentment you have been holding onto start to melt away. Let it shed off of your shoulders and take a deep breath. Take a moment in your intention setting to acknowledge and honour your boundaries on a multitude of levels; professionally, romantically, sexually, emotionally. You are deserving of space and you are deserving of time and you are deserving of kindness, gratitude and respect.

Set The Stage for the Next Step 

With the eclipse lending strong energies to the new moon, it is the perfect time to put down some grander intentions and to visualize what you want for yourself this summer. Where do you picture yourself in your journey when this powerful summer moon cycle comes to a close at the end of July? What can you do now to support that picture? Invite yourself to step out of your shell and into your personal power this month. Your actions of self-respect and your clarity with what you want will show the Universe you are ready for the next phase. Embrace it!

Moon Cycle: August 11th – September 8th 

New Moon/Super Moon/Solar Eclipse: August 11th 

Keywords: A new you, the next phase, bravery, courage, time to shine, self-appreciation, royalty, strength, energy, family bonds

Phew! It has been one crazy summer full of powerful celestial phenomenons. High planetary retrograde activity, combined with a series of powerful eclipses, a Blood moon, Super moons and more. If you are feeling a tad shook from it all, it’s completely understandable. In fact, this moon cycle will finalize a highly transformative summer for most of us, whether we are aware of it or not. Shifts happened within ourselves and out in our physical realm. For example; did you get a new job or big client? book a trip? have a baby? undergo a friend-group turnover? All transformations, big or small, that occurred this summer will be showing up in different ways through to the end of the year.

While July’s moon cycle called in the introspective feels of Cancer, as we step into August’s new moon on Saturday the 11th, we are invited to channel the powerful energies surrounding the brave and courageous Leo, the Lion. It may almost feel as though we have rested and reflected these past few months, set down the ground work, and really felt our way around our new roles and selves. All the while we were strengthening the foundations of our stages to ensure they are solid and firm for the next great phase in our lives. We are now finally ready to let the world see us for who we are and show what we can do.

The Solar Eclipse

Saturday’s new moon will align with a solar eclipse, a brief moment of darkness were we can finalize our intentions regarding what we want to achieve between now and the end of the year. Make sure to find a quiet and reflective moment during the new moon phase to write these intentions down clearly. Tell the universe EXACTLY what you want. Even if it may seem like too much, set the intention, and write down clearly (i.e. I want to make $5000 more a month). The universe has plenty for everyone. Play close heed to the 8 moon phases this month. Each will be extremely important in guiding you through this Lion cycle with intention and purpose.

You’re Going to Hear Me Roar! But Carefully 

The most important thing to remember for this August moon cycle is to allow the Lion within to come out. While being humble is always important, we are invited to celebrate our unique virtues and strengths this month, putting them to good use in order to get what we truly want. Embrace and channel confidence. Believe in yourself and give yourself the royal treatment. Lions are regal and strong.

But remember, Mercury remains in retrograde until August 17th, so while we are encouraged to speak our truth, do so with caution. Communication can get messy during this time. Further to that, don’t confuse bravery and confidence with pride and boastfulness as it can lead to embarrassment or loss. Practice humility, embrace discussion and evaluate all your options carefully before marching on into judgement or action.

Now go get it, Simba!

Moon Cycle: From July 12th – August 10th

Blood Moon/Full Moon: July 27th

Keywords: Transformation, Change, New Beginnings, Rebirth, Strengthening Our Foundations

This week, on July 12th, we welcome a new moon that will lead us to a Full Blood Moon on July 27th. If you’re feeling transitional, emotional and a bit unsteady, trust that this is completely aligned with the Cancer season. The date of this new moon also marks the start of a powerful solar eclipse, the first of three which will happen this summer; the second will happen on the Full Blood Moon on July 27th and the following on August 11th.

This series of solar eclipses will no doubt have a powerful effect on our sense of stability. Do not expect things to remain the same. In fact, these solar eclipses could prove to bring life-changing and unexpected circumstances leading all the way through to 2020.

We love the fact that the solar eclipses of this month align with the new and full moons. As the moon blocks our view of the sun and the world is in proverbial darkness, we are invited to come out of each eclipse with a sense of rebirth, leveraging the energies for new beginnings. Working with an understanding of the planets and their shifts helps us leverage their powerful energies with focused intention, rather than letting them rule us without a sense of purpose.

Remember in this powerful time of transition that we will likely be presented with feelings of hesitation, perhaps even fear. We cannot see through the darkness and we cannot know the ultimate outcome of what is about to happen.

This is when the practice of trust will truly come into play. You may feel a strong need in your personal life to hand your trust over to the universe on the dates of July 23rd to July 26, during the Gibbous Moon phase. Expect your questions about your personal direction to be amplified during that time. The universe may throw you some curves or challenges during this moon cycle where trust will be needed.

Leverage That Cancer Energy

Remember; this new moon is occurring in Cancer, a potent and emotionally charged period, affecting our senses of security, support, our connection to our roots or heritage, our family and of course our inner sense of self (who we are, what are we doing, our feelings, our responses, etc.).

This is a time to nourish our foundations and everything that we feel a connection to as our home. Not to be confused with strictly our personal houses or dwellings, this can include anything that is in our daily vortex; people, our workplaces, our routine and of course the “home” within, our inner foundations and strengths.

Ensure to dedicate time in July to honour your inner being, your true sense of comfort and security and every single feeling. Acknowledge, confront and release. Take comfort in your sources of security; your family and your true close friends.

Expect to be called to a new beginning of sorts, one that may require you to leave behind something valued and treasured. While this will be difficult, remember new beginnings can be an exciting blessing, it’s a matter of what we learn and how we choose to leverage things going forward.
