Get ready to sparkle this Sunday, February 09th, when we have this year’s first fiery Full Moon in 20 degrees Leo.  

Leo likes to shine alone on the stage, and with the exception of a positive trine to Leo’s fierce friend Mars , this weekends Full Moon shines alone without any interrupting planets or aspects dimming its glory – in true Leo fashion.

And as the glamorous fire sign Leo couples up with go getter Mars, there will without doubt be an element of drama and passion to 2020’s second Full Moon, handing you the sparks needed to burn some bridges to the past and step onto your own hero’s journey with a Leo’s bold heart. Because the courageous and spirited sign of the Leo, is all about learning to live fearlessly from the center of our being. Under the energies of this playful and free spirited Full Moon, you are asked to call on your courage, embrace your inner child and take a chance on life. What are you passionate about? What brings you joy? How can you bring more creativity and play into your life?

If you are one of those who have stopped playing and feel that life is now just about serious business, this is your chance to change that mentality. Play is good for mind body and soul and the Leo Full Moon is urging you to step out of your comfort zone and be brave with your life (👉need it validated by research? Read Brene Brown’s wonderful book ‘The Gifts of Imperfetion‘). This is your chance to start dreaming your world into being!!

Take time today to sit with yourself and draw in the high spirits of the brave lion. Surrender your heart to the journey and trust that you are Guided. If you get out of your own way, it’s so much easier for the Universe to do her magic. The beautiful energy of this heartfelt, fiery Full Moon is simply pushing you towards your hearts calling. Have faith in your path and your process, and let the Universe do what she does best, knowing that whatever unfolds at this time is written in the stars. Enjoy the ride!!

The sun is in earthy and stable Capricorn and opposing the ambitious, structured Capricorn sun, we have Friday’s Full Moon and lunar eclipse in domestic and loving Cancer.

These two signs in many way represents the yin and the yang. The masculine and the feminine. The Capricorn sun is strong, solid and disciplined. The Cancer Moon is soft, fluid and adaptable. And with the Full Moon in a watery and sensitive sign as Cancer, this lunar eclipse will be highly emotional for many, bringing emotional wounds, deep rooted fears and vulnerabilities to the surface.

In combination with the lunar eclipse and the extremely intense Capricorn energy that surrounds us at the moment with Jupiter 8°, Mercury 20°, Saturn 22° and Pluto 22° ALL joining the sun 20° in Capricorn as we speak, this planetary juju will for many feel like their very foundation is collapsing. Not to mention, with Saturn+Pluto in exact conjunction in Capricorn at the time of this lunar eclipse in sensitive Cancer, emotions are likely to be running high, bringing feelings such as anger, fear, guilt, shame and deep wounds to the surface – pushing a transformation whether we like it or not.

The old paradigm and the old structures have to fall. This a time of death and rebirth, calling you to embrace your inner power, finding the strength to truly open up to cry, release and let go. Remember that pain, sadness and depression is there to be released, and that in order to create a revolution, darkness has to rise to the surface. But when January 2020 feels like one long renovation project – with the project being renovated being you – remember this; when you’re close to have a breakdown, when it feels like everything is lost and your floating around in your groundlessness with nothing to hold on to, that all breakdowns are really breakthroughs, and what we all need to be able to expand, grow and evolve our heart and soul. Whatever leaves our lives between a solar eclipse (the new moon two weeks back) and lunar eclipse (Friday’s full moon) is usually final, and destined to end at that time. It will most likely not be coming back. And even though it might hurt like h*** at the moment – breathe sweetheart ♡. Remind yourself that when everything seems to be falling apart – it is more often falling in to place. And, that when tings are lost in your life – or people leave – it is often to make space for better things to enter.

Be gentle with yourself through the process, and give yourself time to rest and restore, gently reminding yourself that this is a transition phase. The one thing certain is that “this too shall pass”. Trust that whatever issues arise, your heart already holds the wisdom you need to guide yourself and reach the shore. Most importantly; rest assured that what is ment for you will always, always find you ♡.

Take some time for yourself tonight, and connect with your inner guide, letting your inner divine gently guide you. Remember that you are never ment to see the whole path, just to trust the next step, and that if you are brave enough to surrender and let go of the eternal need for control, you will see just how perfectly everything is unfolding when you let go and let the Universe do her magic. The Universe has your back, never doubt that ♡.

Today December 12th the Moon in airy, chatty Gemini oppose the sun in fiery, playful Sagittarius and we have 2019’s last Full Moon.

With a Full Moon in Gemini – ruled by the expressive messenger, Mercury – the Universe now demands clear communication, so let things out and express yourself and your truths openly. Don’t hold back. Trust that this is a time to let the world know how you feel. Stay true to yourself and communicate your heart, then notice how telling the heartfelt truth makes your soul expand ♡

December’s Full Moon is often referred to as the Long Nights Moon, due to the long, dark nights at this time of the year. And with some challenging aspects coming up around the time of the Full Moon, this Moon may indeed come across as the dark night of the soul…

As the heavens strict teacher, Saturn moves towards a conjunction with Pluto, the lord of the underworld, we may all feel that pieces of our shadow (Pluto) may start to get illuminated – usually through lessons (Saturn) – by December’s Full Moon, and increase in intensity as these two celestial guides moves into exact conjunction in a month’s time, on January 12th, 2020.

Old structures will fall and a new cycle initiated, and if you manage to flow with it, surrendering to the process rather than fight against the changes that wants to happen, you will have some new solid and long lasting structures in place by the end of next year.

Thus, even though we are in the midst of the Holliday season, use this Full Moon period as a time and opportunity for stillness and reflection: See if you can find space in your schedule to light a candle, burn some incense and journal. Start to reflect and prepare for the upcoming shift. Do some personal inventory, and release what ever you dont want to bring with you into 2020.

And even though it may sound scary that old structures will fall, remember that this is also an opportunity to upgrade, and that it is only that which was not sustainable to begin with that will get weeded out with it’s roots. Have faith in the bigger picture, and trust that you always get the lessons and opportunities you need for you to learn, grow and become the best version of you ♡.

Remember that your life is a sacred journey, and that all we can do is to live the best we can with the opportunities we get. So whatever arises for you around this time, remember that things always arise for you to heal. But you need to feel it to heal it as they say ♡

As always, time of the Full Moon is great for releasing, so take this time as an opportunity to get closure and to let go of what no longer serves you once and for all, then open up your heart for a new chapter to begin. Trust that you alone hold the keys to your own happiness.

Happy Full Moon lovelies!

Happy Astral New Year, Ostara & Spring Equinox

March 20th the sun is again crossing the celestial equator, and we have the first day of spring here in the northern hemisphere. Equinox, means equal-night, and this moment, where night and day is of equal length everywhere on the planet, is a powerful reminder of the ancient relationship between the earth and the cosmos, and how the seasons and the wheel of the year is timeless and never-ending.

Today even Mother Earth pauses for a moment to adjust herself to the changes in the season, and prepares for arrival of light and longer days. And with light comes life. Spring equinox is seeding time. And just as the spring Goddess Ostara symbolizes fertility, new dawn and new growth, the sun who has just entered the first sign of the zodiac, Aries, also brings with him  a promise of fresh starts and new beginnings. The spring equinox is truly a time of new fire, and just like the ram, the sun is about to burst forth with new energy. On this day the old has been washed away, and everything on our planet and in our hearts are once again encouraged to sprout.

Don’t let this magical moment of the year pass you by. The earth is calling you to find back to your roots as well. What do you need to find back to balance and equilibrium in your own life? Where do you need to cut back? Where do you need to open up? What do you want to bring forward in your life ? Maybe you want to set an intention to be more present in your own life? Take time to check in with your mind, body and soul, and make a list of the necessary adjustments needed for you to reach that state of inner peace.

Do you need to expand your awareness, be more curiosity and explore the world to be happy? Or do you need is to slow down and spend more quality time with your family and friends? Set a few, solid, goals and remember that quality is better than quantity. Less tasks leaves more room for rest and rejuvenation for yourself, and a rested you will benefit both you and those around you.

Whatever you choose, go with what you need. Not anyone else. It is ok to schedule time to simply just be. It’s ok to schedule time for laugh and have fun. Be true to yourself and make the adjustments that makes your heart sing. When the astral new year again comes around 12 months from now, where do you want to be? How do you want to feel?  When you find your balance, ideas are more easily put forth, and with the powerful energy of the Ostara and the Spring Equinox, together with the sun in go-getter Aries, this is an especially potent time for intention settings and a truly magical time to plant your seeds for the future. Don’t let the oportunity pass you by!

Spring clean your home with sage, then burn incense such as Jasmine or Rose to bring the scent of spring to your home. Decorate with fresh flowers and painted eggs. Light candles and sit in stillness. And, when you can hear your heart whisper, blow your intentions into seeds of your choice and carefully plant these seeds of intention in pots to bring out later in the spring.

Harness the magic of this powerful time for new beginnings and rebirth, and ground yourself in love and in life as you take the time to hear out your souls deepest longings. Remember that you are never too old to start something new, and that a year from now you will be grateful that you had the courage to start. Today, when light again trumps the darkness, brings a promise of lighter days in every sense of the word. Dive into that fiery Aries energy and leap forward. It’s a time to be bold, it’s a time to fall in love and it’s a time to be fearlessly yourself and make life happen.

With the sun transiting the deep waters of Scorpio, November’s Full Moon on October 24^th in earthy Taurus will bring some much-needed grounding into our life. Passionate Scorpio tends to make emotions running high, so let this Full Moon be a sanctuary, where you can take a well-deserved break from this intense water sign’s complexity and find roots and stability through loving Taurus instead.

Taurus, loves to stay at home and treat herself, and the earth energies of this Full Moon encourages you to slow down, and take some well-deserved me time. Tune in and see if you can draw in the strong healing energy of this Full Moon. Connect with your breath, slow down your heart beat and let yourself drop out of your head and down into your body. And – as often happens when we let ourselves slow down – if uncomfortable emotions start to arise in the stillness of the Moon; simply sit with it. Rooted Taurus may not want to budge from it’s comfortable nest, but with Taurus’ ruler, Venus, retrograde and transiting in transformative Scorpio – the sign of death and rebirth – as we speak, the energies surrounding us is inevitably pushing for our growth and change, and for us to move out of our comfort zone, dive deep, and take a good look at everything we’ve swept under the carpet.

See if you can relinquish control and simply surrender to the moment. Come home to yourself in your physical body and connect with the Divine in you. Trust that you are on your path, right where you are meant to be. Be aware though, as Venus rules love, beauty and money, issues connected to these sensitive themes may surface as you start to dig in. But why not then, allow yourself to draw on the depth of Taurus’ opposite; transformative Scorpio, and let yourself see everything that comes up for what it truly is. Remember that insecurities in these areas more often than not are connected to our own lack of self-worth and not feeling worthy of such abundance, than bad luck. Recognize all the fears and beliefs that are holding you back from reaching your true potential. Journal, breathe, and remind yourself that you are already good enough. You are already worthy of your dreams. We all are!

So, what are you dreaming of? What changes can you make for your life to truly feel good? What choices can you make that will draw in more happiness and love? Be open. Be brave. It’s your life, your dreams, your passion. The abundant energy of the Taurus Moon is here to deliver it all to you if you are brave enough to reach for it. Do keep in mind though, that true happiness comes from within, so start from the inside, not with what may look good on the outside.

Last but not least, take some time to release and let go. As always, Full Moons are the perfect time of endings, so use the energies of the Full Moon to release all that which no longer serves you and blocks you from finding true happiness.

Draw in Taurus’ earthly magic and truly ground yourself. Enhance your feelings of love and self-worth and make a sacred promise to yourself to only go with those choices that are nourishing and rewarding for your body, mind AND soul.

It’s time to open your ♡ and truly believe that you are worthy of all the abundance of the Universe.

Happy Full Moon beauties!
