Magic Is Something You Make

Full Moon in Earthy Taurus

Zodiac beautiful girls set (African American version). Taurus.

With the sun transiting the deep waters of Scorpio, November’s Full Moon on October 24th 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!

New Moon in Libra

Illustration of libra zodiac sign as a beautiful girl. Vector illustration.. Isolated on white. . Isolated on white.

Tuesday, October 9th the Sun and Moon conjunct at 15° Libra and another lunar cycle is initiated with a New Moon in the sign of the Scales.

A New Moon is the darkest time of the month, naturally making it a time for introspection and reflection, but Sun conjunct Moon also gives us an invigorating burst of energy and initiative, making it an excellent time to start a new chapter as well, so don’t let the chance to turn the page pass you by. New Moons are a clean slate, a fresh start, and a time to plant the seeds of whatever you want to grow as the Moon waxes towards full. Also, if it felt like you reached your boiling point two weeks back under September’s fiery Full Moon in hot-headed Aries, 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.

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 by her thoughts and decision-making processes – or shall we say the lack thereof. She likes to weight everything back and forth to the point of the extreme, and the airy, intellectual Libra energy can easily make us caught up in our head 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 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, through her tactfulness, compromises and negotiations, Libra can 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 don’t learn to listen to the whispers of your soul, instead of the constant chatter of your monkey mind. Your intuitive heart has much wisdom to offer you, so you better start tuning in and pay attention. Learn to trust your heart, and you will have a constant and reliant guide on your path.

And, unfortunately, facing a challenging aspect, this Libra Moon isn’t just about peace and love. Her ruler, Venus – the goddess of love and money – is currently on one of her retrograde sprees, bringing with her a fair share of challenging energy, which can cause us to feel both scattered and off balance in our relationships under the dark sky of this New Moon. Add a square to the Sun and Moon from Pluto – the lord of the underworld – to the mix, and this New Moon is likely to bring some unexpected changes to your path. Pluto literally loves to bring shit to the surface, and with a rebellious streak, he often brings with him some unexpected surprises from the depths of your being.

But even though these energies may leave you feeling a little out of sorts, particularly in your relationships, see if you can center yourself and draw in just enough of the harmonious Libra energy to stay open-minded and flexible through the process, taking advantages of the present energies instead of working against them. They keyword here is to trust. To learn to flow with the changes, and not fight your way upstream. To allow the unexpected to happen, knowing that you are always guided towards your highest path.

Take deep belly breaths and center yourself, knowing that 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 to 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 to make 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 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 New Moon xx

 

Full Moon in Fluid Pisces

Depositphotos_37588209_original

The Sun has entered structured Virgo, the eclipse season is over for now (phew!), Mercury finally went direct (even though Chiron, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are still all retrograde… #stillfeelingstuck), and Sunday, August 26th, we have this year’s soft and fluid Full Moon in the last sign of the zodiac; intuitive and creative Pisces.

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. And even though the powerful and fiery Leo Solar Eclipse will continue to work its magic until early 2019, this Pisces Moon is nevertheless a time to slow down, tune in, reset + recharge.

The Energy of the Pisces Full Moon is intuitive, creative and dreamy. As always, the lunar qualities of emotions and instincts reach their peak at a full moon, and with a Pisces Moon, you really have the opportunity to dive in deep. Be brave enough to journey into the depths of your subconscious to better understand where you are, and where life is trying to lead you…

Pisces, being the last sign of the zodiac, symbolizes endings and finalizations, and takes us into the darkest depths of our soul, where our deepest unresolved pain lies. Thus, August’s Full Moon is urging us to close some doors, and to get rid of whatever holds us back and keep us stuck in the past.

Slow down, and let your heart and soul lead the way. The key to clarity in times like this, is to try to not think too much. To stop grasping for answers and to surrender that constant need for control. This is life. And I hate to break it to yoy, but life 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!

Remember that even though the energy of Pisces and his ruler Neptune – currently retrograde in Pisces – may seem vastly intangible, foggy and unclear at times, it is also highly intuitive, making this a perfect time for introspection, letting our intuition take the lead.

Personally, I’ve started to love Neptune. I used to find him a bit scary – or outright annoying – but he’s grown on me. 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, 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 – 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, a Full Moon is as always the Sun opposing the Moon, which means that the energy of the Sun is now 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’s all about the balance.

Happy Pisces Full Moon lovelies!

New Moon + Solar Eclipse in Regal Leo

Leo astrological sign in the Zodiac

Happy new moon and solar eclipse in Leo, lovlies!

The sun finally shines happy in it own sign, bringing us a solar eclipse + New Moon in regal Leo. And, being the third eclipse in a row, today marks a grand finale to the always somewhat tumultuous eclipse season, as well as a fiery new beginning!

Sun conjunct Moon – as is always the case om a New Moon – represents the end of one cycle and the beginning of a new one, and is considered one of the strongest aspects in astrology. With a powerful solar eclipse on top of it, every possibility is on the table!

This is an extremely potent time of manifestation, as instead of the normal cycle of four weeks – from one new moon to the next – the intentions you plant now, will have time to ripen over the next six months and sprout to the surface under the next eclipse period in early 2019.

Eclipses have a reputation of creating unexpected and abrupt changes, tossing you so high up into the air it’s impossible to spot where you eventually will land. But pushing past your comfort zone is absolutely necessary to accelerate any growth, and the more you stop resisting and learn to move with the process instead of against it, the easier this process becomes. Resisting change always causes more harm than good, and as the outcome of eclipses tend to be non-negotiable anyways, see if you can trust, surrender and offer whatever intentions you may have to the Universe, the Divine and the highest good of all, rather than demanding a specific outcome.

Eclipses are always game changers, and even though the changes put upon you may seem as a curse at first, they are simply (incredibly well covered up) blessings in disguise, and always for your greater good. Trying to control your process just because you are afraid of going deep, or that it will get messy, will get you nowhere. Mistakes are not bad – they’re human. It’s how we learn. It’s how we grow.

Remember that breakdowns are breakthroughs, and that making mistakes will never dim your light, it will polish it! The time has come to drop perfection! You cannot get back to your true essence before you’ve found the courage to shed all the layers you have put on out of protection, hiding your true nature from the world.

Eclipses are here to shake our foundation, so that we have no choice but to change the destructive and outdated behaviors that we are still clinging to. Release your past. Release your shadow, and welcome your light the same way you welcome the sun reappearing after the eclipse. Remember that all change start with you, and that you have the power to shift and realign with your heart at any given moment.

Welcome awakening to the true power of love, and be as courageous, playful and fiery as the lion, spreading love and light on your path. One of the greatest gifts of this Leo New Moon + solar eclipse is the courage to unmask who we really are, learning to shine our true colors, living from our heart! 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 your 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. Why not start to sprinkle a bit of your unique personality into the spaces around you? The playful sign of Leo is not afraid of the spotlight, so don’t be afraid to throw yourself into whatever carries the unique imprint of your heart + soul.

This New Moon the perfect time to plant seeds of intention around embracing our true self-expression. 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.

Who were you before the world told you who you should be?  Take a shot (or two) of confidence and shine as the diamonds that you are. The time has come to live your magic!

FULL MOON AND SOLAR ECLIPSE IN AQUARIUS

 (Edit)

Illustration of Aquarius astrological sign as a beautiful girl. Vector art.

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. And with a powerful full solar eclipse accompanying this full moon, this is indeed an opportunity for you to put your anxieties to rest, and shoot for the moon: fearlessly beeing exactly who you want to be.

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. Aquarius, 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. In a couple of days, at August 1st, we will have Lammas – the first harvest of the year. Being a moment when “all things ripen” it’s an excellent time for new opportunities to be harvested! After the last five months of more stagnant energy, where it may have felt like The Universe has been holding you back, challenging you to work through some of your deep rooted fears and believes, the time has now come to welcome in the new!

If you have been paying attention these last months, you probably somewhat know which direction you’ll be going, as whatever lessons and journey you’ve been on, will finally be revealed. Take some time to silence your mind and tune within. Fears and old habits and beliefs prevent you from moving forward, so you need to cleanse and release the past. It’s especially important under this Full Moon as you cannot embrace the new 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 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 take action on something, do so now! Trust your heart, it will not lead you astray ♡

New Moon + Solar Eclipse in Cancer

 (Edit)

Illustration of cancer zodiac sign as a beautiful girl

July 12th/13th, depending on where you are in the world, 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, and being a partial solar eclipse as well as a new moon, this Cancer moon is truly a time of transformation and renewal. Eclipses always brings with them the opportunity for us to close all unfinished business and start a brand-new chapter in our life, and, as the first of three eclipses this summer, this new moon definitely has the power to create change for you!

About halfway through 2018 this is a perfect time to do some personal inventory as well. 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. Relax, restore and take things at your own pace, as 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, 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 don’t break, as they say. Showing vulnerability is true strength!

This is a weekend to nurture your self-belief. Breathe in self-love and truly acknowledge yourself as already whole and perfect. With this potent new moon and eclipse energy, you have every chance to make a significant change, benefiting you well beyond the new moon. It’s a time to move gently and with courage in the direction of your dreams, knowing that as long as 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 own magic.
