THE POWER OF THE NEW MOON<br />
The Full Moon is a powerful time of the month; the Sun and the Moon are in opposite signs. The light of the Full Moon opens the<br />
door of illumination and is a great opportunity to see clearly what is not working in your life and/or not serving your highest good.<br />
It is a great time to release unhealthy ways of being, thinking, communicating, and relationships. It is a great time of the month to<br />
declutter and make room for the new blessings and opportunities you want to welcome into your life.<br />
A simple full moon ritual: one day during the week of the Full Moon (3 days before – the day of – and three days after),<br />
find a place to be still and reflect. Using the energy of the sign of the Full Moon ask yourself what ways of being, doing, and<br />
communicating are no longer providing joy, love, and ease in your life. Write the answers down on a piece of paper. Say aloud, I<br />
joyfully release what you have written on the paper. Then tear up the paper into small pieces and throw it in the trash, flush it down<br />
the toilet, or burn it (only if it is safe to do so).<br />
August had two powerful Super Full Moons. Step into <strong>Sept</strong>ember under the influence of the Queen, the Empress, and the High<br />
Priestess of the horoscope, Virgo. Combine this energy with the residual power of the August Full Moons; under this powerful<br />
influence, spend a few days reflecting on what you need to release from your life. Then using the balancing energy of the Libra,<br />
look at yourself and find areas that need more equilibrium and harmony.<br />
ARIES (Fire-Cardinal) - Now that you have rested and<br />
recharged, moving in the energy of flow, do those things that bring<br />
you comfort and connect you to your community.<br />
TAURUS (Earth-Fixed) - Now that you have cleared the clutter<br />
out of life–be open, ready, and available to abundance and<br />
prosperity entering your life.<br />
GEMINI (Air-Mutable) - Continue implementing your ideas. Get<br />
strategic about it. If things go sideways, fine. Tap into your resilient<br />
energy and try again.<br />
CANCER (Water-Cardinal) - Your soul searching continues. This<br />
is still a great time of renewal and a fresh start. Look again at your<br />
plans with new eyes: reevaluate, correct, and move forward.<br />
LEO (Fire-Fixed) - Having celebrated the good in your life, now is<br />
the time to set the vision for closing out <strong>2023</strong> with power and verve.<br />
Look above the mess; use your vision to inspire you to action.<br />
VIRGO (Earth-Mutable) - All right now Queen/King. Commit<br />
to how you want to move forward and with courage, take that<br />
next step.<br />
LIBRA (Air-Cardinal) - As you begin your solar return, think big,<br />
think differently, and then explore new ways of being and doing. Take<br />
this time for self-discovery.<br />
SCORPIO (Water-Fixed) - What has you fired up? Now is the<br />
time, dear Scorpio, to turn on the charm and pursue your passions.<br />
SAGITTARIUS (Fire-Mutable) - Now that you have let it all go,<br />
move forward with optimism. Don’t just do the same old thing, honey,<br />
now is the time to innovate.<br />
CAPRICORN (Earth-Cardinal) - As you are walking in your<br />
blessings, my friend, it is important to take time daily to express your<br />
gratitude for the good that you have and the good that is on its way<br />
to you.<br />
AQUARIUS (Air-Fixed) - Continue to be picky about who you<br />
allow into your space. Now prepare to step into the spaces where<br />
resources and support are awaiting you.<br />
PISCES (Water-Mutable) - Choices are coming your way. Now<br />
is the time to tap into your ambition and flow in the direction that<br />
provides you with the most support and resources. Choose well!<br />
