New Moon...

in Aquarius? Capricorn?? Not entirely sure, to be honest! All my sidereal Astro girlies staring at this post like YES BITCH, IT’S CAPRICORN 😆 But I’ve said it before & I'll say it again, I’m not an astrologer, I read energy & right now it feels a bit like both.

That being said, let's get into it!

•

This feels like a very cold new moon for lack of a better word & I really don’t want to say that because it has a negative connotation but that’s what it feels like! Everyone & everything has been a little annoying lately but w/mercury finally going direct & all other planets soon to follow as well, we are starting to feel the energetic shift. Kinda chilly, kinda calculated, very Capricorn energy. Like how is this going to affect me, how can I devise a game plan successfully?

•

This is the 1st new moon of 2023 so we wanna start it off on the right foot! However, it also feels very detached, very psychic-ly connected & authentic (very Aquarian), so keep your antenna tuned for those bursts of inspiration aka downloads. These are messages you’re receiving for a reason so don’t ignore them!

•

It’s like shaking the cobwebs out, throwing the windows open, letting in that fresh, crisp air & feeling rejuvenated. There’s a lot of Aquarian energy this year (Pluto enters Aquarius at the end of March) & we are going to see it reflected in every aspect of our lives: Ai, tech, finance, health, art, education, community, etc (I was actually going to go off on this tangent but I think that deserves its own post 😅).

•

Time will seem to speed up in the next few months so aim high when setting those goals & be honest with yourself! This is probably the most important thing. Tap into that true Aquarian energy & step into your weirdest, truest self. Be honest w/what you want & what your goals are. This is your life, you don’t want to waste it with could haves/should haves/would haves. The time is now! Utilize it!

•

☆Set those goals

☆Aim high

☆Seriously, if you think it’s a ridiculously out-of-reach goal, it’s not. Set that goal & manifest the shit out of it!

☆Work towards executing them

Are you ready?

Themes: ambitious, goals, change is in the air

Leo Season!

Aquarius Full Moon!

Buck Moon!

Blue Moon!

 So much invigorating energy swirling around us! Let’s get to it:

 This Leo season came in full force with a loud and proud, “LOOK AT ME” attitude. While this seems the norm after a typically subdued Cancer Season, this time around was a particularly strong transition. Venus moved into Virgo (see my previous post for details) and now a full moon in Aquarius is on the horizon! While these are not typically energies that you would associate with one another, they are creating an interesting dynamic for the time being, and more importantly one that can be utilized.

 Leo energy demands attention, on a self-centered level. It is bright, all-encompassing and loud. Aquarian energy is more visceral, analytical, and operates with community in mind. While the sun is in Leo, the full moon moves into Aquarius and we are given a rare opportunity to cut to the core of our problems and find a solution that best suits us. Leo is the Sun, Aquarius the Moon/ Father and Mother/ Me and We/ Child and Parent/ Self and Community.

 It is easy to get caught up in ourselves, especially when we might have felt neglected for so long. This is the time to really look into that dynamic. How is your inner child doing? Are you in need of some tlc? Self-love? Grounding?

Tap into your dreams (I’ve already had some terrifying and enlightening ones ). You may be surprised to find that somethings you thought were well taken care of are actually still swimming in your subconscious. Deal with them accordingly. This is an opportune time to identify what’s keeping us stagnant and how to utilize an effective change that works best for not only ourselves, but benefits others as well.

 Aquarius has big rebel energy and like all things that are NOT experienced in a healthy and time-appropriate way, it will crop up at the most inopportune times and wreak havoc on our lives. So yeah, handle that shit now. This full moon carries throw back energy to the “Great Conjunction” we experienced back in December, with ANOTHER Aquarian full moon coming up in August. The overall theme is an assertive, driven attitude towards positive change.

Stay grounded, speak your truth and look with your third eye.

 Themes: Rebellious energy, Step your game up, You can do this

Venus in Aries!

Mercury in Aries!

Sun in Aries!

There is a vibrant, fiery energy with this new moon, which may feel weird and conflicting with Venus currently in Aries. Venus (ruled by Libra) wants to talk it out and resolve problems diplomatically, meanwhile Aries (which is ruled by Mars) is all action and passion. Venus is exiled in Aries, this isn’t necessarily a BAD thing, it just feels out of place, like having the right shoe on the left foot.

Meanwhile, Mercury is still in Aries which brings reactive communication. Try not to be too impulsive and don’t take things personally. Adventurous thoughts and creative ideas are at the forefront of our minds, which can be a wonderful change of pace for some. It truly feels like SPRING is in the air, and with it, change!

New Moons are dark, introspective times for us to set our goals and intentions while giving thanks for all we’ve received. Good rituals to do during this time include writing your intentions down/ journaling, meditating, soaking in a bath and cleansing your space. That includes altars as well as any divination tools you may have (crystals, decks, etc). I know I’ve mentioned this often in the last few posts but the overriding message I keep getting is, CLEAN YOUR SPACE.

You cannot invite new blessings or energy into your life until you clear out all the old and stagnant energy still residing with you. It’s an exchange, you have to give in order to receive. Sometimes we unknowingly block OURSELVES by not taking stock of what’s really holding us back, in the haste to welcome something new. Use this time to do a true spring cleaning. Donate, give away, sell what no longer serves you. It’s easy to become a hoarder, especially coming out of a worldwide pandemic. There is a lot of fear that motivates these impulses and it’s important to recognize that and not let it control you.

Of course, this doesn’t just apply to physical possessions. People, places, habits, the way we think and speak are all things we can and do hold onto out of fear and complacency. Remember, comfort zones are just that: comfortable. Nothing grows there, it just stays the same. In the end it’s not a loss on your part, you’re simply making room for the next, best thing. Think of it as finally letting go and paying it forward. What no longer serves you can be exactly what someone else is looking for! Sometimes our own vision stops us from seeing the big picture because we are too busy focusing on one specific thing. We assume we know what’s best for us because we are focused on a single goal and ruled by our ego. Sometimes we just gotta let go and trust that even if the outcome isn’t EXACTLY what we wanted, it is in fact, what’s best for us.

In a nutshell: Clean! Make room for new energy! Be open and receptive to change.
