New Moon in Ashelsha: The Clinging Star

Sunday morning’s new moon will be in the constellation of Ashlesha (sidereal Cancer), the Clinging Star. This new moon is ripe with potential and is awaiting harvest. Notice the sense of pressure that is building in the days leading up to this transformational reset and do your best to stay grounded in the process. How will you make use of this month?

A door has been opened and offers with it forward movement where you once were experiencing road blocks. Use this time wisely and go for that which you truly desire — it’s time to make your moves. Be aware of how easily you can get swept away by the current influx of opportunity to the point where you’re unable to take a direction and commit to one thing. Know that this new found momentum will only last through early September. 

The energy of this lunar mansion can either act as a poison or a medicine. Ashleshas symbol is a coiled serpent who is ready to hypnotize and embrace it’s desired prey — whether this power is used to encourage our spiritual energy to rise and purify the subtle body or to tempt and seduce us into leaving paradise — is up to you. The degree of the new moon lands itself within one of the three karmic knots of the zodiac which offers expedited spiritual growth when utilized properly.

A pivot is available to you now — what would it take for you to commit fully? It’s time to dismantle your past conditioning and change your narrative. Allow, accept and embrace your shadows/deepest challenges — one at a time. Like you were hosting a dinner party for them all — welcome them, serve them with love to your best capacity and then bid them adieu. This will offer profound breakthroughs. Allow yourself to be surprised. 

Have you been motivated by fear or by that which your heart is being drawn towards? Sometimes we can get caught up in what is right and what is wrong. Stay curious and listen to the deeper lessons that are presenting themselves — as this will bring about a greater depth of growth. 

Just because your efforts may have not been producing results as of late doesn’t mean you need to reroute. Relish in the journey now and not the destination. Yoga and meditation practices are helpful during this month. Cultivate and deepen your commitment to the development of your consciousness. If you feel the need to rush, rush like a royal elephant — just one step at a time. 

How will you rewrite your story?

New Moon in Punarvasu: The Star of Renewal

Amāvásyā

The new moon Friday night falls in the constellation of Purnarvasu (sidereal Gemini), the Star of Renewal. You’ve weathered the astrological storm of late and there’s a feeling in the air that resources are now at your finger tips and the light is beginning to return.

You may be feeling a little restless and thirsty to move to the next phase. Just like nature appears to me more refreshed and harmonious after a storm, this new moon brings with it a breath of fresh air — a renewal of sorts. You may feel called to amp your energy up to the next level. If you choose to pick up the pace, know that it’s easy to loose perspective and awareness when gaining momentum. Stay present, expand your awareness, and keep the big picture perspective. Don’t compromise your long term visions for the quickening of your current process.

This is a powerful time to set an intention for that which you’d like to call into fruition within the next few months and perhaps even something you’d like to circle around with for a second time. This constellation is symbolized by a quiver of arrows and represents the “return of the light.” These particular arrows are thought to be magical  — once released and the objective has been obtained they circle back around. Just like that, this renewal of energy brings with it hope for a second chance.

Mercury has stepped back into Gemini and has sparked our curiosity. This is a beautiful time to take a class, learn, write, and share that which lights you up and calls you deeper into your heart. Keep listening to your current narrative and notice how you meet the challenges that arise. We’re learning how to be at ease in the presence of the Unknown and to stay relaxed when confronted with that which we don’t prefer. Get extra rest, stay patient and remember to put on your oxygen mask first before helping others. Practice working smarter, not harder and stay in the flow of honoring Nature’s pace and timing.

Toko-pa-Turner // “To be baffled and obstructed is what engages creativity. This is the practice of poets, dreamers, and artists alike: to show up at the frontiers of uncertainty where we are met by ten thousand things. We practice there, on the verge, amateur and unprepared, at being friendly - or at least willing - towards the discomforts of our confusions. As Rumi says, ‘Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment!’

Full Moon in Sagittarius: The Root Star

The full moon Thursday morning will be in Sagittarius (sidereal astrology) in the constellation of Mula, the Root Star. Mercury stationed direct on Tuesday and Jupiter pivoted into its four month retrograde cycle on the 20th. This full moon is inviting us to go deeper, as Mula is one of the most spiritual and investigative lunar mansions in the zodiac and lies near the galactic center.

Perhaps the very things that are dismantling and becoming unraveled in your life are the very things that will seed what comes next. Be willing to let go, take a step back and surrender to the process. Practice leaning into the dance of making lemonade out of lemons. Refrain from expressing the strong convictions that have recently surfaced and take more time to gather the whole story and stabilize that information into a living embodiment. 

Temptations may surface to fall back into old ways of relating or habits that are no longer in alignment with your highest way of walking in the world. Begin to interface what you’ve learned in the past few months with the new momentum that is beginning to dawn — keep moving forward. Give it a few more days and then forge ahead with that which has been beckoning forth.

I am most passionate about diving deep with individual clients to shine light on what wants to be tended to and grown in the moment in such a way the individual meets with less resistance and more joy along their journey — with a greater capacity to exercise their free will and rise above their karma.

Ground yourself, strip yourself down,

To blind loving silence.

Stay there, until you see

You are gazing at the Light

With its own ageless eyes
