November 2021 New Moon

Lisa

This new moon is happening on November 4th at 5:14pm ET at 12 degrees of Scorpio. I love that’s it at 12 degrees, because 12 is such a magical number. Perfect for a Scorpio new moon. Twelve is the one of self combined with the two of relationship that adds to a three, the number of creative self-expression, communication, and divine time where past, present and future exist together.

As if the 12 magic wasn’t enough for the new moon, it exactly opposes Uranus at 12 degrees of Taurus and Uranus always brings sparkle and surprise.

Looking at the whole of it, I feel like this new moon offers an opportunity to demonstrate a deeper level of self acceptance by doing something that you have been too scared to do.

Surprise yourself! Look inside, look at the scary stories your mind tells you about yourself and choose to trust yourself. Choose to move through the fear and into deeper self-acceptance, then DO SOMETHING. It can be a little thing or big thing, just something that you have been telling yourself that you are not _________ enough to do it.

Maybe you’ve been telling yourself that you’re not smart enough, pretty enough, loved enough … whatever it is, believe that you are already enough.

It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been scared, or how many times you could have already made this shift, what matters is that you can make it now. You can trust yourself now. You can accept yourself more deeply now.

Wield some of that mystical magical Scorpio energy for yourself and let the scary self-talk fade.

Have a beautiful new moon away

October 2021 New Moon

Lisa

This new moon is exact on October 6th at 7:05am ET. It’s in Libra and is conjunct the sun and Mars all at 13 Libra and this trio is quincunx Uranus at 13 degrees.

So the energy of thirteen really colors this new moon. Thirteen is such a cool number.

As you most likely already know, thirteen is a very witchy number. It’s the one of self using the 3 of mind body spirit, to create a 4 of traditional nurturing and control. It isn’t aggressive, but it sets the table to get a desired result.

This new moon feels like an excellent time to emotionally connect in a deep way to what you want, especially when it comes to parts of yourself that you have kind of suppressed, ignored, or held back in some way because you didn’t feel like you had the freedom to really embrace and accept this part of yourself.

It’s also a time to look at how partnerships can support your desires and ambitions and how they can also limit your freedom. Being connected to others includes making agreements with them, and those agreements often have to get renegotiated over time. The circumstances of our lives change, we grow, evolve and change, and so relationships have to shift and change.

When you make any change within yourself, the people around you are required to make some sort of adjustment. The same is true for you. It can be tempting to want to keep people just as they are, for better or worse, because if they stay the same it gives us the option of staying the same.

So this new moon is also an invitation to not only support your desires and ambitions, but also to be open to allowing your partners and people you are close with to grow and expand and trust that you can adjust to who they need to be.

I’m going into to this new moon with the intention of increased clarity of both what I most want in life now and how I can stay true to going after what I want while supporting those closest to me as they go after what they want.

Have a beautiful new moon.

September 2021 New Moon

Lisa

The new moon is exact on 6 September 2021 at 8:52pm ET. It’s happening at 14 degrees of Virgo ♍️ and will exactly trine Uranus at 14 degrees of Taurus ♉️

What a great opportunity to surprise yourself or embrace unexpected support. Opportunities may come in ways you haven’t imagined, but have great value. Be open to seeing yourself and others differently.

New moons are excellent opportunities for emotional self-acceptance and this one may do so in an unusual way. I hope it does.

Have a beautiful new moon 🌙

August 2021 New Moon

Lisa

This new moon is happening exact Sunday morning 9:50am ET at 16 degrees of Leo and forms a square to Uranus.

My favorite thing about new moons is the opportunity for deeper self-acceptance that comes with a new moon. This particular one brings to mind the African Proverb: If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

It comes to mind, because I feel that this new moon is asking us to take a deeper look at both how we shine on our own and how we engage with community.

Consider that we need to support the greater good while staying connected to our own joy and purpose. We need to show up for others and be open to receiving support from our communities. We each have a unique contribution to make in this world and it is amplified when we remember we are all connected.

This is a great time to ask yourself what you want to share with the world and what kind of support you need.

Be willing to shine.

Be willing to ask for what you need.

Have a beautiful new moon.

July 2021 New Moon

Lisa

This new moon (9 July 2021 at 9:17pm ET) at 18 degrees of Cancer is square Neptune and comes with a Venus/Mars conjunction nearly in perfect parallel to the new moon. New moons are the start of the lunar cycle and are great for setting an intention and starting something. My favorite thing about them though is the opportunity they give us to deepen our self-acceptance.

Looking at the sky map for this one, it feels like this new moon is an especially good opportunity for some radical self-acceptance in the form of emotionally accepting and honoring who we really are rather than feeding the idealized image of ourselves we hold in our heads.

When we do this, when we nurture our true self, we unlock a new level of self-acceptance that propels us to our best life. The clearer we are about who we are, the more we live in alignment with our best self. We get into the flow of our highest good. Our energy is powerful and loving, and how we live reflects what we value.

Have a beautiful new moon.

June 2021 New Moon

Lisa

The Gemini new moon happens 10 June 2021 and it’s also an annular solar eclipse (partial eclipse). We have a spectacular opportunity for increased self-acceptance and to better understand ourselves.

Own your feelings without judging them or yourself for having them. When you do you’ll find they are illuminating teachers.

Take care of yourself the way you would someone precious to you, including saying kind things to yourself. This is a great time to create positive self talk. Finish this sentence in a living way, “I’m …” and periodically repeat it to yourself.

I often gave my mom flowers and when I saw these today, I thought about her. Flowers pretty much always make me think of Mom, so I bought them for myself. She would have loved them, and I felt her joy as I put them in water.

Let your feelings blossom. 💗🌸

New Moon May 2021

Lisa

Let’s talk about the Taurus new moon happening on Tuesday afternoon (11 May 2021). I love looking at it with the whole sky map and this moon happens with Neptune at 22 degrees of Pisces and Mars and Uranus both at 11 degrees forming a yod with the south node.

So what does all that mean?

I feel like this new moon is an invitation to get in alignment with who you deeply aspire to be and to lean deeper into accepting yourself by looking at how you’ve let your past neutralize your desires and sense of freedom.

The more fully you accept yourself, the easier it is to build on what you value and understand what is change worthy.

What have you not pursued because of old beliefs about who you are and who you thought you’re supposed to be? How have you labeled yourself for something you’ve done by creating a loop of negative self talk and limiting beliefs? What parts of yourself have you rejected or continue to resist acknowledging? How have you dismissed your capacity to change?

While you always have answers to all your questions inside you, sometimes it helps to see what’s in you by seeing it reflected outside of you.

So this is a great time to challenge long held limiting beliefs about yourself by being open to seeing these reflections. Break out the metaphysical tools you have, notice the soft intuitive nudges you get, embrace the random people you meet, take in the synchronistic signs that flow by you every day.

Listen to what people say to you with an open mind and heart.

Listen to what your soul is saying to you with an open mind and heart.

Discover or rediscover, another reason to love yourself.

Have a beautiful new moon.

April 2021 Aries New Moon

Lisa

I’m so excited about this coming new moon, happening Sunday night at 10:31pm ET. For the past several months the new moons have been at 23 degrees, the degree of sorrow and we’ve finally shifted from that.

This month the new moon is at 22 degrees of Aries. Venus is along for the ride and it brings a square to Pluto. So what does all this mean?

I feel like this new moon is an especially fantastic time to own your mastery. Fully own who you are and what’s important to you. Trust yourself. Be decisive and don’t look back or second guess yourself or get deflated when someone else tries to redirect tell you by sharing their experience.

If what they tell you is helpful, great! Use it. If it brings you down or feels in conflict with your inner guidance, then ignore it. You can thank someone for their concern and discard what they told you without being dismissive to them. It’s your life and you need to follow where your soul is leading you to go.

Let your true intentions for your life now, at this moment, surface. What matters is where you want to head now. Not what you wanted 2 years ago, or what your friends or culture tell you to want. Who do you want to be, now? What kind of life do you want to live, now?

If you feel overwhelmed, ask your soul to give you one small step you can take now to start moving in the direction you need to go and ask for a sign that confirms you’re headed there.

Life requires us to make lots of course corrections so be open to knowing that where you need to head now may be different than you once thought and could change again. Focus on now. This year. What is your soul nudging you to learn, to do, to let go, to embrace, to start, to create.

If you feel lost, set an intention to open your mind and heart and be willing to listen to your soul without reservation. No caveats. No conditions. Just the willingness to know what your soul wants you to know. You get to choose whether you follow your soul’s lead, but remember this, your soul knows everything you know and then some.

Have a beautiful new moon.

March 2021 new moon

Lisa

We are heading into the Pisces new moon on Saturday, March 13th at 5:21am ET and there are a couple of things I want to point out about this one.

First, since last fall our new moons have been happening at 23 degrees and this is the last one. So fitting we are finishing this series of new moons at 23 degrees (the degree of sorrow) with Pisces.

The other is that the current Pisces sun is conjunct both Venus and Neptune, which is the higher octave of Venus. The moon will touch each of them as it forms the exact new moon.

New moons are about fresh starts, setting intentions and new beginnings. I feel like this new moon is an especially poignant opportunity to get real with yourself. It’s an opportunity to love yourself and others so much that you not only see the best in them and in yourself, but you also are willing to see and own something you’ve been kidding yourself about, that you’ve been in denial about.

This new moon may be bringing up a lot of painful feelings, and some of you may be releasing a lot. It’s cleansing though and it frees you up to realize your dreams. It takes a lot of energy to maintain denial and when we sustain illusion we may be delaying dealing with stuff we don’t want to face but it comes at a price of delaying the realization of our dreams and of feeling more love for who we are.

This new moon invites you to release denial and in whatever intention you chose to set be intentional about wanting to be real. Imagine making your dreams real while releasing any denial you’ve been holding on to. Dream big and open up to your heart’s desire while intending to see things as they really are.

New projects are more exciting and fulfilling when they include goals that are actually achievable. Romance is more delicious when we are with someone we really love and who loves us back. When someone really sees you, when they see through you and into your soul and loves you, well that’s amazing.

There is an incredible payoff to releasing denial and illusion, because the real you is exquisite and extraordinary.

Have a beautiful new moon everyone.

February 2021 New Moon

Our Aquarius new moon arrives on Thursday, 11 February 2021 and it’s like the bow on a cosmic gift as it joins the Sun, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn already in Aquarius. ⁣

⁣That’s a lot and it’s incredible. Aquarius holds the space for the totality of who we are both in and out of body. Aquarius is about connection … to each other, to nature, our planet, our souls, our universe.⁣

⁣As I watch it snow and consider what I want to share, my mind drifted to a couple of lines from the poem Desiderata by Max Ehrmann. I discovered and memorized it about 50 years ago. ⁣

⁣“Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.”⁣

⁣Know that you belong. You are connected. You are important and you matter, even when some unhealed part of you tells you otherwise ⁣

⁣Love ALL of yourself. ⁣

⁣You are a divine spark. ⁣

⁣There has never been, nor will there ever be, another YOU.⁣
