Right before midnight, Sunday, September 25th the Sun and Moon conjunct at 2° Libra, and another lunar cycle is initiated with a New Moon in the sign of the Scales.

If it felt like you had an emotional melt down two weeks back under September’s Full Moon in watery and sensitive Pisces, harmonious Libra – the sign of peace, balance, and partnerships – is here to your rescue, helping you to get back to your harmonious equilibrium once again.

A New Moon is the darkest time of the month, and, as such, it becomes a natural time for introspection and reflection. But Sun conjunct Moon also represents new beginnings, giving us an invigorating burst of energy and initiative, and maybe especially so now, with the energy of the recent Autumn Equinox (exact Friday, September 23rd, 03.03 CET) still swirling around us. As the trees start to let go, and transition into a new cycle, the opportunity lies there for us to do the same, making this an excellent time to start a new chapter. This is your chance for a clean slate, a fresh start, and to plant the seeds of whatever you want to sprout at the Libra Full Moon in the spring of 2023.

However, peace-loving sign or not, airy Libra also has her dark side. As an air sign she easily gets caught up in her head, preoccupied with her thoughts and decision-making processes – or shall we say the lack thereof. She likes to weigh everything back and forth to the point of the extreme, and the airy, intellectual Libra energy can easily make us caught up in our heads whether we like it or not.

Knowing that she needs balance to thrive, Libra is always afraid to make a decision that will lead to an imbalance in her otherwise harmonious universe. Because, for Libra, balance, and harmony is not just appreciated, it is a much-needed necessity. The diplomat of the zodiac simply needs to be on good terms with everyone and everything and is constantly troubled about rocking the boat or rubbing others the wrong way. On a more positive note, Libra can, through her tactfulness, compromises, and negotiations, help us see both sides of most stories. And whether it is romance, friendships, family, or business, the influence of the Libra New Moon can help you find more balance and harmony in all your relationships.

Do keep in mind though, that there is no way to attain balance and harmony if you don’t learn how to get out of your head and ground into your body first. If you can silence the constant chatter of your monkey mind, your intuitive heart has much wisdom to offer you, so you better start tuning in and paying attention. Learn to trust your heart, and you will have a constant and reliant guide on your path.

And no better time to start than now, right? Stop whatever you are doing and take a couple of deep belly breaths and center yourself. Without inner balance, it is impossible to find the trust needed for this process, because it is this steady inner balance, this anchor, that allows us to deal with life’s issues, and transition change smoothly. Balance is the key to clarity. To know when to hold on and when the time has come to let go. The only constant in our life is change, and it is up to you if you want your transitions to flow harmoniously or if the Universe has no choice but to give you a kick in the ***. Because like it or not, this Libra Moon will push you towards the changes needed for you to find back to your inner equilibrium.

But more than anything the Libra New Moon is here to teach us about the value of partnerships and how to bring harmony and loving kindness into our relationship with others and ourselves. If you find that someone is draining you, value yourself enough to let that connection go. Be compassionate enough towards yourself to have proper boundaries and say ‘No’ when your heart is not in it. And keep in mind that issues in relationships – big or small – always mirror something that we struggle to face in ourselves, so if you have been facing conflicts and can’t seem to understand why, or, as often is the case, why this particular conflict keep happening, take a moment to go within and see if that can help you to gain a new perspective. Repeating patterns in our life are always there to show us there’s something we haven’t learned yet. What keeps repeating itself for you?

Take time to sit down, meditate, journal, and do some personal inventory under this New Moon. Most of the time we already know where the changes need to be made, even though we are resisting making them. Where do you spend your energy? Is it where you wish to have your focus? If something is taking up too much of your time, or you feel like you are fighting a constant battle – let it go. If it feels like something a lacking from your life, get clear on what’s missing and make an effort to bring it in.

No matter what message you receive under this New Moon, it all comes down to how we can get back into balance, restoring our equilibrium inside and out. If the energy at this time leaves you feeling anxious and ungrounded, this is a clear sign that changes are needed in your life for you to reestablish the harmony that has been lost. My message to you under this New Moon is to stop postponing the inevitable. Approach things one step at a time, but start making the necessary changes in your life. Your transformation is taking place right here and right now, and every moment is a new moment to start creating the balance and stability your soul is craving. And remember that if you ever feel lost, you can find all the answers by simply taking the time to tune within. Trust that your heart is always there to guide the way if you are courageous enough to listen to it.

Happy Lovely Libra Moon xx

MYSTICA 100h Advanced Yoga Teacher Training

The Magic begins on October 26th

Have you been thinking of expanding your way of teaching or practicing yoga, in a way that meets with the mystical? Do you feel called to weave mysticism and rituals into your yoga classes? To practice and teach more in harmony with our Earth’s and our own bodies’ rhythms and cycles? Welcome to the Advanced Yoga Teacher Training that embodies and honors the seasons, the cycles, and the magic of the phases – both in nature and in our bodies.

As the seasons change, so do we. We humans are intricately a part of nature, of Mother Earth and her cycles, and as such we are not meant to have the same focus or the same yoga practice throughout the year. This is what inspired us to create MYSTICA: A 100h advanced vinyasa-based yoga teacher training, which brings in the seasons, the cycles, and the magic of the phases – both in nature and in our bodies.

With the Sun currently transiting the sign of the Corn Maiden, rooted and rational Virgo, September’s Full Moon will be in the last sign of the zodiac; intuitive and creative Pisces (exact 11.59 AM CET on September 10th)

As we shift our focus from earth to water; from the more structured and solid New Moon in Virgo two weeks back, and over to the softer and more fluid energy of the Pisces full moon, we can literally feel our body soften, aligning with the fluidity of this mutable water sign.

The Energy of the Pisces full moon is intuitive, creative, and dreamy, and this full moon invites us to slow down, tune in, reset and recharge. Moreover, as Pisces is the very last sign of the zodiac, and as such symbolizes endings and finalizations, September’s full moon invites us to close some doors and cut the ties to whomever and whatever holds us back and keeps us stuck in the past.

The lunar qualities of emotions and instincts reach their peak at a full moon, making full moons an excellent time to connect to our heart and dive in deep. And what better time than the intuitive Pisces moon to take a journey into the depths of your subconscious to better understand where you are, and where life is trying to lead you.

However, with the Pisces moon strongly influenced by its conjunction (alignment) with its ruler, Neptune – currently retrograde in Pisces – you might feel more foggy and confused, than clear and assertive. Heck, you might have no clue at all regarding which doors to close and which to open. The struggle is real indeed.

The key to clarity in times like this, is to not think too much. It sounds a lot easier than it is, I know, but if we can make ourselves stop grasping for all the (wrong) answers and rather let go. If we can surrender the constant need for control, wanting to know the answer to the journey even before we have taken the first step. If we can take a leap of faith in life instead of acting from a place of fear. Then we will enjoy this journey we are on so much more.  

Because this is life. It is uncertain. So instead of insisting on a certain outcome, let your life fall into place organically. Leave some room for the universe to work her magic! And, remember, that even though Neptune and Pisces may seem foggy and unclear, they are both highly intuitive, making this a perfect time for introspection.

Neptune has a magnetic, enchanting energy, and, more importantly, he has depth. Neptune in many ways represents the journey into the unknown. The path of the mystic. Neptune doesn’t have structure like Saturn, and for us humans who generally like to know the outcome of all situations – especially our life – the fluidity of Neptune can be scary.

But I’ve come to view Neptune like I view the spiritual path: You’re not supposed to know everything. It’s about trusting your path even when it’s too dark to see the next step, knowing that everything will be revealed at the perfect time. And experience has thought me that “foggy” in most cases is simply “not supposed to know yet”. It’s about trusting the timing of your life. Nothing is random in the Universe.

And the same can be said for Pisces. Pisces, as its ruler, Neptune, is connected to those deep depths of the psyche and the subconscious. I like to compare them to the ocean, as both Neptune’s and Pisces’ energy has many resemblances to the sea: It can knock you over – or you can learn how to surf the wave. You may feel it overwhelming, scary, and drowning – or you can learn how to float in this sea. You can escape far up onto the beach to “play it safe” or you can learn how to swim.

In the same way, we fear the power and depth of the ocean, or the intensity of the intuitive and intangible energy of Neptune and Pisces we are often scared of the depth of our own psyche, and the strength of our true powers. And it is this fear of the unknown, of what might arise if we don’t stay in control, that leads us into the escapism that they both are so (in)famous for. Because diving deep under the surface is scary. You never know what you may find there. So, you can try to escape – through too much work or sex or drugs or drinks – whatever keeps you occupied from yourself – or you can find the courage to dive under the surface and embrace the beauty and enchantment of another universe. The choice is always yours.

There is no need to be fearful though. Take a deep breath, let out a big sigh, dive in, and trust that you will be just fine. Find that state of complete surrender, simply allowing the energy of the enchanting Pisces Moon to open and awaken you.

And, remember, as always, a Full Moon is Sun opposing Moon, which means the Sun now is in earthy and practical Virgo. So, if the energies of the Full Moon at any time get too much, you can always draw on the more grounded Virgo energy. It’s all about the balance.

Happy Neptunian Full Moon, lovelies!

The sun and moon has come together in earthy and diligent Virgo (exact August 27th at 10,17 AM CET) and her keen eye for details and perfectionistic tendencies, makes a Virgo new moon the perfect time to take care of practical concerns and the details of everyday life.

However, as the time of the new moon should rather be a time of introspection and contemplation, helping you connect with your own Self, do not allow yourself to fall down Virgo‘s perfectionistic slippery slope making you overly focused on your flaws, which will only leave you feeling guilty and stressed.

Instead, as the light from the moon diminishes and you once again find yourself in the dark stillness of a moonless sky; take some time to see the beauty of imperfection and balance out Virgo’s perfectionistic nature with lots of compassion and self-love ♡.

Draw upon the grounding and healing energies of the earthy sign of Virgo. Connect with the light of your inner Guide, and let the new moon lead you on your own healing journey.

If you have the courage to go there, the darkness of the new moon can bring you to the depths of your soul, and give you the opportunity to heal some of your most painful wounds. Being the last of the personal signs (Aries through Virgo), Virgo urges us to clean up our inside as well as our outside before we start our journey through the next six signs of the zodiac, representing the highs and lows of partnership, family, and society (Libra through Pisce).

You cannot move forward in life until you have healed your past, so don’t wait. Ground yourself through Virgo’s earthy energy, connect to your center, then take the leap, trusting that you will be fine.

Be patient with yourself and treat yourself with loving kindness no matter what comes to the surface throughout this process. Give your wounded child a safe place to heal. Virgo‘s energy can be perfectionist, but it’s important to remember that even though it may all feel messy, messy does not mean broken or not good enough. It only means it’s time to tidy up a bit.

Take a moment in stillness, placing your hands over your heart, connecting to your heart center; then ask yourself what’s the most nurturing thing you can do for yourself at this time? Celebrate yourself, your life and your body, and make an effort to schedule time for the things you love. Get really clear on what you need in your life to feel happy and healthy, then make your everyday into your own personal healing ritual.

If you find your body resisting turning all the attention towards yourself, and your own needs, know that this is natural. We’re so used to always lend everyone else a helping hand and make sure everyone has what they need, that we may end up feeling like a failure when we don’t have the energy to put others first anymore. But don’t feel bad about taking care of yourself first and to make your own healing a priority. This Virgo new moon is asking you to fill up your own cup first this time. Remember that an empty cup has nothing to give!

And unless you start to accept yourself for who you truly are, how can you expect others to? Let go of your inner critic, and start to act towards yourself from a place of love and compassion. Be patient with yourself and your journey, knowing that the most powerful steps you can take on your healing journey is to learn to love and accept yourself and your life as it is.

If you’re feeling lost, stop and retrace your steps until you find your light again. It might take minutes, hours, days or even years, but do it. The time has come to drop your mask and let the universe know that you are ready to step up to your highest path.

New Moon Blessings ♡

NB! EARLY BIRD PRICE ENDS SEPTEMBER 1ST!!

With the sun currently transiting fiery Leo, August’s full moon falls in the fixed air sign of visionary Aquarius (Exact August 12th at 03.35 AM).

As always, on the time of the full moon, the sun and moon transits opposing signs, and the dance of the passionate Leo sun and the more reserved Aquarius moon can sometimes be hard to balance. Leo vs Aquarius equals me vs. we. On the one side we have Leo, happy just living through the heart, embracing the joy if its inner child, while on the opposite end, we find the more cool and collected Aquarius, who sometimes wanders so far out that it can be a struggle to find awareness within. Leo loves attention, fun and play, and is known to indulge in life’s pleasures, without going beyond the confines of the Self. Aquarius on the other hand is known for its focus on freethinking, friends, networking, society and humanitarian causes.

Aquarius being an air sign, communication is likely going to be a strong factor around this moon. However, as free-spirited as Aquarians can be, though, as a fixed air sign, Aquarius can also be quite judgemental toward those who do not belive in the same causes as they themselves do, so if you feel especially judgemental around this full moon, take a couple of deep belly breaths, and send some love to those who are a little different from you. These who challenge us the most are our greatest teaches as they say ♡

The fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius) always fall in the middle of a season, and are, as such, considered the “stabilizers” of the zodiac. Morover, as August’s Aquarian moon marks the halfway point between Summer Solstice and Fall Equinox, it is also known to many as Lunar Lughnasadh (a Pagan cross quarter day marking the change from one season to the next on August 1st) – marking
the first harvest of the year.

Being a moment when “all things ripen” this is an excellent time for new opportunities to be harvested. What seeds did you plant on the Aquarius new moon six months back (or around that time)? It’s time to pick the fruits of your hard labor.

If you have been paying attention these last months, you probably somewhat know which direction you are going, and which areas of your life are ripe and ready to be harvested. Make sure to clean out any bad apples though. Old habits and beliefs prevent you from moving forward, so you need to cleanse and release the past (aka throw away that rotten fruit!). It is especially important under this full moon as you cannot enjoy the fruits of your labor until you’ve released your old fears.

How, you may wonder? Releasing first and foremost comes through acceptance. Fear will always be there, but the more you accept it, the less power it has. So be grateful for your past and find the courage to fearlessly step towards your future with an open heart. Get clear on which fruits to pick, which tothrow away, and which you want to leave hanging to ripen more.

Tune in, follow your intuition and be fearless in letting go. Then trust your heart and follow its lead, and it will not lead you astray.

Happy Aquarian Moon, lovelies ♡

Today, July 28th, the sun finally shines happy in it own sign, and we have this year’s warm and encouraging new moon in fiery Leo.

New Moons are the perfect time to set goals and plant new seeds, and with a new moon in Leo we are called to open your heart and be courageous, and take some time to reflect and sort out what you wish to bring into your life. Also, as this years new moon in Leo is free from any challenging aspects, you now have the opportunity to align your life to the shifts the universe is requesting from you.

Fiery Leo, ruled by the sun, can’t help but be in the spotlight. Much like the luminous sun itself, Leo is born to radiate, and passion, fun, hope and courage are just a few of the awesome traits associated with this fixed fire sign.

In other words, it’s time for you to brush the dust off those plans you were to scared to follow through on, and find the courage to follow your bliss, love and passion. Let this brave and bold New Moon give you the push you need to step out of your comfort zone and plant seeds for a more courageous, passionate and creative life.

The sun, Leo’s ruler, represents our life purpose, making this the perfect time to add some soul signature to your life. Start to sprinkle a bit of your unique personality into the spaces around you and don’t be afraid to throw yourself into whatever carries the unique imprint of your heart and soul.

What makes this years Leo new moon even more magical is its trine to expansive Jupiter, the planet of luck and opportunities. And even though Jupiter will go retrograde not long after the new moon in Leo occurs, this is an excellent opportunity to set our minds to the future and take the time to align our goals to flourish in the end of 2022/beginning of 2023, which is when Jupiter will be moving forward again.

Now, take a deep breath in and exhale deeply. Think big, bold and get ready to explore new, exciting horizons. Take advantage of the joyus and loving Leo energy and just enjoy yourself! Leo being ruled the sun, be sure to honor your inner light and have some fun. Leos are the big kids of the zodiac, so see if you can get in touch with your inner child, bring out your playfulness and let it teach you a thing or two about fueling your inner fire and living fearlessly from your heart.

Remember that creativity is whatever you choose to make of it. That being said, Leo being a fixed sign, he prefers stability, so this is not the time to go for quick and fleeting solutions – go for the dreams that can be a permanent fixture in your life. Find that special something or someone that makes any struggle worthwhile. Focus on speaking your mind and tell all of your heart. Commit yourself to honoring whatever nourishes your life force. Trust your intuition and allow freedom of movement. Don’t force it. Remember that what’s ment for you will always, always find you.

New Moon Blessings
