October 20th at 4.59 pm CET the Full Moon will reach its peak, and we will have this year’s Full Moon in fiery Aries!

As always on a Full Moon, the Sun (currently in Libra) and Full Moon oppose each other, an aspects that brings both oppositions and complimentary forces to the table.

On the Aries – Libra axis, peace loving Libra represents balance and relationships, while fiery, independent Aries is all about the primal needs of the individual. It is me vs. we, self vs. other, competition vs. cooperation, impulsive vs. indecisive, and warrior vs. diplomat. The energy of the Libra Sun is love, grace, peace, and balance, while the Aries Moon, represents a more active and outgoing type of energy.

Fire-starter Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. He is self-assertive, leading, and courageous, as well as the most individualistic of them all. “I am” is Aries’ motto. But even though Aries’ shadow side can be overly self-centered, hot-headed and impatient, the ram’s energy is also about believing in yourself. Aries goes after what he wants, and October’s Aries Moon carries the strength and energy needed for you to bring forth the courage to step up into your fullest potential.

Does stepping forward scare you? It does for most of us. Well-known suffering is less intimidating than unknown happiness. But the time has come to do something about that. Nothing happens within your comfort zone, so use the Aries Full Moon as an obstacle crusher: It is time to step up, take action and claim back your life!

Too often fear and self-doubt stop us from following our dreams and walking our highest path, but there is only one way to release this fear and that is through self-belief! Let the Aries energy propel you forward towards your dreams. Trust your path. Trust that you can do it. Then go out and shine your light in the world with full-on radiance!

Be careful to not leave a battlefield behind in your urge to get to your goal though. Ruled by warrior planet, Mars, Aries can easily boil over, but regardless of which sign it is visiting, the Moon is always about connecting to our inner world, which makes this an ideal time to become aware of what you really need to get back into your natural peaceful state.

If, on the other hand, you feel like your energy’s been running low, or you know you’re holding yourself back out of fear of with might happen if you take a risk and follow your heart – then this is the time to fire up your courage. With Mars retrograde you don’t want to act right away, but rather do as much planning as you can, organize behind the scenes and get ready for the time when you will be taking off. And if you want to do Mars retrograde right, spend time with yourself by focusing on what you really want Then, when Mars turn direct in November, find the courage to go for it!

Do not be scared to dream big! In fact, the Full Moon representing the end of a cycle and letting go, this may be the perfect time to let your inner critic go. And while you are at it, why not let go and change all old destructive patterns in your life. Everything that has served its purpose. Ask to have the courage to let go of everything and everyone that you have outgrown. Cut ties with the old to make room for the new. Aries being the first sign of the zodiac also represents new beginnings, so harness the strong, passionate, and fiery Aries energy, step into your fearlessness and take a bold leap forward in your life.

Find that courage to go for whatever your heart desires. No more repressing and holding back. Be fearless and speak your heart in an honest way. Be bold and brave and believe in yourself. When you tune into your heart’s desire, and truly start to live from a place of passion, anything is possible. Know that you are worthy. That you are good enough, brave enough and smart enough. And most importantly; you are not your past. You are not your story! The time has come to write a new one. A good one! And as they say: “When you write the story of your life, don’t let anyone else hold the pencil!”.

Wednesday, October 6th at 1.06 pm CET the Sun and Moon  conjunct in Libra and another lunar cycle is initiated with a New Moon in the sign of the Scales. If it felt overly emotive two weeks back under September’s emotional Full Moon in sensitive Pisces, harmonious Libra – the sign of peace, balance and partnerships – is here to your rescue! It is time to find back to your harmonious equilibrium once again.

A New Moon is the darkest time of the month, naturally making it a time for introspection and reflection. However, the aspect of Sun in conjunction to the Moon also gives us an invigorating burst of energy and initiative, which helps us find the energy to turn whatever page we’re on and start a new chapter in the book of life. A New Moon is 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.

Lovely Libra doesn’t just appreciate balance and harmony, to this peace-loving sign it is a necessity; Libra  is constantly working towards a more harmonious state. The diplomat of the zodiac simply needs to be on good terms with everyone, and through tactfulness, compromises and negotiations, Libra is generally able to see both sides of most stories. And whether it is romance, friendships, family or business, the influence of the Libra New Moon urges us to find more balance and harmony in all our interactions.

Airy Libra  can, however, easily get caught up in her head, preoccupied by her thoughts and decision-making – or lack thereof. She likes to weight everything back and forth to the point of the extreme, but then again, she is the sign of the scales. Libra simply needs balance to thrive and is afraid to make decisions that will lead to imbalance in here harmonious universe. Unfortunately, there is no way to attain balance if you do not know how to get out of your own head and ground into your body. The trick is to slow down enough so you can hear the whispers of your soul instead of the chatter of your mind. Your intuitive heart has much wisdom to offer you, so start tuning in and pay attention, and you will have constant guidance on your path.

But more than anything the Libra new Moon is here to teach us about the value of partnerships, and how to bring harmony + 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. But 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 is something we have not 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 constantly swimming upstream – let it go. If it feels like something a lacking from your life, get clear on what is 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. So, 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

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.
