The Sun is moving through structured and diligent Virgo, and tomorrow, September 21^st, we have a soft and flowy Full Moon in Virgo’s opposing sign: sensitive and creative Pisces.

And as you shift your focus from the fiery New Moon in Leo two weeks back and start to dive into the watery sign of Pisces, you can literally feel your body soften, aligning with the fluidity of this mutable sign. The Energy of the Pisces Full Moon is intuitive, creative, and dreamy, and as the lunar qualities of emotions and instincts reach their peak at a full moon, you get the opportunity to enter that place of stillness and dive in deep.

This Full Moon is a time to slow down, tune in, reset, and recharge. To journey into the depths of your subconscious to better understand where you are, and where life is trying to lead you. Pisces is the 12th and last sign of the zodiac and as such carries the energy of endings and finalizations. Thus, September’s Full Moon is urging us to close some doors, and to get rid of whatever holds us back, keeping us stuck in the past.

However, with the Full Moon strongly influenced by its conjunction to its ruler, Neptune you might feel more foggy and confused, than clear and assertive, with no clue of which doors to close and which to open. The key to clarity in times like this, is to try to not think too much. To stop grasping for answers and to surrender the constant need for control. This is life. It is uncertain. So instead of insisting on a certain outcome, let your life fall into place organically. You need to 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. Personally, I have come to love Neptune over the years.

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 does not 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 have come to view Neptune like I view the spiritual path: You are not supposed to know everything. It is about trusting your path even when it is too dark to see the next step, knowing that everything will be revealed at the perfect time.

And experience has taught me that “foggy” in most cases is simply “not supposed to know yet”. It is about trusting the timing of your life, knowing that 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 or shopping – 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 gets too much, you can always draw on the more grounded Virgo energy. It is all about the balance after all ♡

Happy Full Moon lovelies!

Get ready to soak up the pure and vibrant energy of the Corn Maiden, as the Virgo  energy peaks with a New Moon in her own sign. This year, the sun and moon are accompanied by fierce Mars transiting through the earthy sign of Virgo, making this a rather energized New Moon, perfect for setting your New Moon goals and leap forward towards your dreams.

The time of the New Moon is a time of introspection, a time when we can come back home to our self, and as the light from the moon diminishes and we once again find ourselves in the dark stillness of the moonless sky, this darkness brings you a powerful space to plant your New Moon seeds, set your intentions, and step closer to your true essence.

As the night sky darkens, 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. With both the sun and the New Moon opposing Neptune in Virgos opposing sign, sensitive and intuitive Pisces, this Virgo Moon urges you to let the healing waters of your tears clean out your old wounds. If you have the courage to go there, Neptune brings you to the depths of your psyche, and gives you the opportunity to heal your most painful memories. Knowing that you cannot move forward in life until you have healed your past, do not hesitate, do not wait!

Ground yourself through Virgo’s earthy energy, connect to your center, then take the leap, trusting that you will be fine. Whatever has been arising for you these past months, September’s New Moon is here to give you the space you need to bring your mind, body, and soul back into alignment.

And be patient with yourself. Treat yourself with loving kindness no matter what wounds are surfacing 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 you are broken. Take a moment in stillness, placing your hands over your heart, connecting to your heart center; then ask yourself what is 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.

Move gently and act only with what truly aligns with your heart and soul. Who are you really? What is your true essence? The main reason we lose our spark and burn out, is when we live our life through other’s expectations of what we should do rather than from our heart and soul. Sometimes we might even be so caught up in society’s expectations that we do not know what we want or where we should go anymore. In those moments, stop and retrace your steps until you find your light again. It might take minutes, hours, days or even years, but do it. Life is too long to not live your passion. To not live from your heart. So, make sure you are living your life. Not someone else’s.

If you find your body resisting turning all the attention towards yourself, and your own needs, know that this is natural. We are so used to always lend everyone 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 do not feel bad about taking care of yourself first and to make your own healing a priority. This Virgo New Moon is really asking you to fill up your own cup first this time. Remember that an empty cup has nothing to give!

And the truth is that sometimes we will have to let some people down in order to grow into who we are meant to be. But 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. What truly calls to you your heart and soul?  If it feels good, do it. If it does not, do not. But no matter what you choose to do, only do what nurtures you on a soul level.  The time has come to drop your mask and let the universe know that you are ready to step up to your highest path.

So, take time during this New Moon to truly listen. And, maybe, there in the quiet darkness of your own sacred space, you will hear what your soul’s been trying to whisper to you all along.  As the old sages say: at the moment of surrender, everything you ever wished for will be yours.

Happy New Moon!

The sun shines happily as it has finally arrived in its home sign, and today’s warm and encouraging new moon in fiery Leo calls you to open your heart and be courageous! (And maybe a little flirtatious?)

New Moons are the perfect time to set goals and plant new seeds, so take some time to reflect and sort out what you wish to bring into your life at this time. Passion, fun, hope, and courage are a few of the things associated with the fiery Leo and which might bless your life at this time. Find and follow your bliss, your love and passion, and maybe this brave and bold New Moon gives you the push you need to step out of your comfort zone and planting seeds for a more courageous, passionate, and creative life.

Leo is ruled by the sun, and the sun representing our life purpose, makes 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 do not be afraid to throw yourself into whatever carries the unique imprint of your heart and soul.

Take a deep breath in and exhale deeply. It is time to let go of the past and heal old wounds. Be bold and ready to explore new, exciting horizons. Take advantage of this loving 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 over recklessness, so whatever you do, do not jump on the quick and fleeting solutions.

No, 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 the tale of your heart. Commit yourself to honoring whatever nourishes your life force. Trust your intuition and allow freedom of movement. Do not force it. Remember that what is meant for you will always, always find you.

With the sun in fiery Leo and the moon in airy Aquarius, today’s Full Moon calls you to open your heart and embrace the energy of change. The sun and moon in total opposition between Leo and Aquarius equals me vs. we. Leo happy just living through his heart not going beyond the confines of the Self vs. quarius who sometimes wanders so far out that he can struggle to find his awareness within. Aquarius is known for his focus on freethinking, friends, networking, society and humanitarian causes, and Aquarius being an air sign, communication is likely going to be a strong factor around this time. This Full Moon also marks halfway between Summer Solstice and Fall Equinox and is known to many as Lunar Lammas – the first harvest of the year. Being a moment when “all things ripen” it is an excellent time for new opportunities to be harvested!

If you have been paying attention to your life these last months, you probably somewhat know which direction you will be going, as whatever lessons and journey you have been on since March, will finally be revealed. Take some time to silence your mind and tune within. Fears, old habits, and beliefs prevent you from moving forward, so you need to cleanse and release the past. It is especially important under this Full Moon as you cannot embrace the new until you have released your old fears.

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 what you want to take into this new cycle and what you want to leave behind.

The Universe is ready and waiting, so get creating! Use the wisdom that rests within your soul to manifest your heart’s desire and let love be the current that pulls you forward toward your dreams. Follow your intuition and be fearless in letting go. If you need to act on something, do so now! Trust your heart, it will not lead you astray ♡

July 10^th (exact 03.19 AM CET) the sun and moon conjunct, and we have July’s new moon in the intuitive and peaceful sign of Cancer.

Cancer is the sign of the Sacred Feminine, and the moon feels at home here in her own sign.

New moons, as always, marks the beginning of a new cycle. It is an opportunity for closure, and the perfect time to tie up the whatever loose ends you have in your life, so you can start creating towards a new chapter in your life.

As we are about halfway through 2021 the Cancer new moon is the perfect time to check in with your self do some personal inventory. Soak up the soft energy of the emotional and nurturing Cancer moon, take time to pause whatever you are doing, and truly feel into yourself. Honor your deepest, most intimate, emotions, and allow yourself to be vulnerable, accepting support from your loved ones if you need. After all, the Cancerian energy is all about looking after ourselves and others, so give yourself permission to take a time-out and recharge your batteries with family and loved ones this weekend. As communicator Mercury enters Cancer on July 11, this is the perfect time to take your emotions seriously and communicate your needs to others. 

More than anything this weekend is a time to relax, restore, and take things at your own pace. Most of us may run around for the majority of our day, keeping ourselves too busy to feel whatever unpleasant emotions we have buried within, but if you are afraid to feel, how can you ever expect to heal? Not feeling our past hurt and pain is like sweeping the dirt under the carpet, pretending that the house is clean. So why don’t you give yourself the ultimate gift of self-love an allow yourself the space needed to process under this soft and loving Cancer moon? It is only when you take time to slow down and nurture yourself can you find time to heal. Be patient with yourself and create a safe space for whatever emotional mending you may need at this time.

If you start to feel guilty for slowing down, remember the importance of filling up your own cup first. An empty cup has nothing to give, while feeling full, sharing from the love that flows over, will benefit yourself, as well as those around you. More importantly no one should have to be strong all the time. Not even you. Bend so you do not break, as they say. Showing vulnerability is true strength!

Breathe in self-love and truly acknowledge yourself as already whole and perfect. With the gentle water energy of this new moon, why not take the opportunity to transform and renew through water? Give yourself a gentle wash and scrub using a bath salt in the shower or bathtub, or step into the sea in the darkness of the new moon for a cleansing swim in the ocean. Visualize how the healing waters of the new moon wash off all the old energies and past hurts that no longer serves you.

As you arise from the healing waters of the new moon, move gently and with courage in the direction of your dreams, knowing that if you listen to your heart and soul, you cannot go wrong. Follow your heart and live your passion. The time has come to believe in your soul’s magic.

Wishing you a wonderful new moon!
