New Moon Ritual For September - It's all about facing your fears!

New Moon Ritual for September

All about facing your fears to bring in the new

This new moon is different. I can feel it.  It’s not about calling in the new in a traditional sense.  No, that would not be practical enough for dear Virgo.  This new moon is all about facing your fears so that you can release them to call in the new.   Sounds fun right!

Or not.

But that’s the theme this week.  Facing your fears, facing your shadow.  Being tested by taking you right to the edge of your dreams and then stopping.  Placing you right on the  verge of your dreams and then making you sit in the uncomfortable moment right before you jump.  And holding you there so that you really understand that manifesting is not just a grocery list of items you want in life.  Walking this life is all about trusting yourself and the Universe enough to take that leap of faith knowing you will be supported the whole way.

And guess what?

That moment is scary!   There is no net that you can see,  there is no turning back and the other side suddenly looks very far away.  But if you can heal that fear, if you trust that you will make it safely to the other side then you will feel joy and excitement on a level you never knew possible.  

You just have to heal those fears and that shadow side.  You need to turn to faith and divine timing.  You need to uncover what is causing this fear and release it so that the new life can come in.

So for September let’s write down our desires on one side of the paper and our fears on the other side.  Let’s compare these two statements.   Then let’s write down our desires with a statement that calms the fear and flips it.     Let’s soothe these fears.   Burn the desire list that is full of your fears!  Release it.  Then save your desire list that has the new loving statements alongside the desires.  This is going to be your guiding light for the next month.  

I would also buy or make a special candle to have for this month.  Everyday light the candle for a few minutes a day and read the new list.  It will help you let go of the fear.  

The Future is Calling

I never thought my life would be so exciting!

I have a phone call with a dream company in a few hours. A life changing opportunity more aligned with my soul's purpose.  Also an opportunity that aligns with my company. 

There is so much excitement and fear all wrapped up into this new life I am moving towards.  I am showing up in the world in a very authentic way which is so scary.  What if being authentic back fires?  What if I fail?

But if I sink into the fear what I come away with is that this is exactly where I need to be.  Living the most authentic life possible.  Living my dreams and helping people create theirs.  

It's all about Divine Timing. 

Divine timing works at it's own pace.  It can't be rushed. It does not answer to modern day schedules. Divine timing  is in charge and knows what's best.  It's the most frustrating part of magic but also the most beautiful part because if you give up control and keep your vision clear, then divine timing comes in and creates the life you want in a way that is even better than you could imagine. 

I am sitting here in this space of waiting.  Of trusting.   Of facing my fears and trying to not run away.

I am sitting on the edge of a life changing decision and I am ready to take the leap. 

When The Magic Comes Back

August was interesting.

And somewhat exhausting.  I had so many lessons coming down from the Universe that it felt like the month would never end.   So many endings.  So many deep lessons from within.

But this weekend it all changed.

I woke up Saturday morning early.  It finally cooled down here in Seattle and was raining. I decided to take myself out for coffee in the early morning to write.  I needed to balance myself out and the only thing I know that truly allows me to feel balanced is writing.  As I was enjoying my Italian coffee and sparkling water, I realized what I wanted to do the most on Saturday was spend the day in silence working on my vision board.   This is a cork board I had bought myself in March but had yet to do anything with.
Saturday I was moved to finish it.  I wanted my vision of my future to finally be put down in images.
I went to the store and bought some magazines and went home to work on my project.  Chai Tea, my porch door open while the rain came down and silence.  It was perfect.  I felt so inspired by the images I was cutting out.  They feel so real.
I completed the board and hung it up on my wall.  It's so different than if I had completed it in March.  It's so much more authentic and on point.  I have shed so much since March and have gotten very clear on what I want my future to look like.

Right after I finished the board and lit my magic dream candle next to it, I saw a text from my favorite astrologer.   It said something like - the story from March is done.  You are now ready for the future.

Whoa!

I looked up the date from March in my journal and saw that this was the exact weekend I bought my vision board cork board.  And yet, it took me until this weekend to complete it.   I had so many lessons to learn. And I needed to get clear on what my vision for my future looks like beyond just "success".

I spent the rest of the day in a magical space as I realized when I just allow myself to be guided by magical timing.  That everything ends up making sense and there is a reason for it.
I could not finish the vision board until this weekend because it would not have been authentic. I would have questioned what I put on it.
But now, if I even attempt to question my vision board, it does not feel right.  My vision board feels like my truth.  Not my critical ego mind.
But it took me until now to live this truth.

I am so happy the magic has come back in a big way.  I am ready for my transformation and to help more people.
