New Moon in Scorpio & Mercury Retrograde ~ Kālī Shakti and Diwali

What can I say about this new moon in the first decan of Scorpio? What can one say about the kind of energy that unrelenting and ruthless in its desire for truth?

I will describe the energy surrounding this new moon with a story.
Recently, during my travels to the amazing sacred valley in Peru, I started feeling and invoking the goddess Kālī in my Yoga practice. I didn’t go looking for her…she found me. Through my asana practice and mantras, she hunted me down and looked me straight in the eye. The archetype of the divine mother Shakti in the form of Kali is relentless. She is the goddess of death and destruction.Her most well known origin story is that when Durga was in a battle with these demons, she got so angry that through her anger Kālī was manifested into the world out of her third eye.

New Moon in Libra ~ Love and Peacemaking

The new Moon in Libra rising early morning on Saturday, September 28th, brings with it some much needed balance and equanimity (or at least the desire for it) into our collective consciousness. I don’t know about you all, but the past full moon in Pisces a couple of weeks ago left me feeling dreamy and ungrounded; and while the Neptunian vibes are useful for creativity and meditation, it has taken quite some effort to be productive and get practical things done.

New Moon in Gemini, June 3rd ~ Controlled Enthusiasm

A new moon occurs when the sun and moon are in the same sign and form a conjunction. New moons are a great time for starting anew.

Start a new project, take that new job, do something different to shake up your world and rewire your brain and mind!

New Moon in Taurus, May 4th, 2019 ~ Rising Above Resistance

The new moon tonight in Taurus is a grounding, reality check inducing, and let’s get our heads in order kind of new moon. After the action packed fiery month of April, full of retrogrades and beginnings and endings, we are now in the earthy, sensuous domain of Taurus. The beauty of this new moon is that we have the opportunity to really feel like we are in our bodies, and connect to our physical reality — the body is not separate from the spirit, but rather a vessel created by it, and so our bodies have the capacity to give us messages about the condition of our minds, our emotions and spiritual progress. This new moon in Taurus is a good time to check in with how you are feeling in the vessel you are inhabiting. What is your energy level? Do you feel pain anywhere? If so, this is the time to go into the message behind that pain and discover what is at the root cause of it. What are your holding patterns in your body and where do you feel tension? All this is body talk for your state of mind and your emotional wellbeing; so use this information to your advantage to dig deep, release and heal. This is an opportunity to access deeper parts of your being through feeling your body.
