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.  

Harvesting Love - New Moon Ritual

Harvesting Love - New Moon Ritual

This new moon is all about harvesting love. The new moon also happens to fall on a day when Venus and the sun meet which is called a Venus Star Point. Which means this new moon is a great new moon to think about what your dream is for the next 8 years of your life when it comes to love and home. What does this look like. What will make your heart and spirit sing?
Spend some time this new moon thinking about what you have learned over the summer. What fears have come up? What painful situations have surfaced that need to be cleared out?

What do you deeply desire?

We have come out of the loss and struggle of the summer. The amount of energy required this summer has been exhausting! It’s now time to start harvesting these seeds we have planted. Let’s keep working on the vision. Think of the next few new moon rituals like pruning the new growth of your vision. How can you get even more clear on your vision? How can you align more closely with what your heart truly wants.

Friday night I suggest you wear something that makes you feel lovely, sexy or feeds your heart. You should have a meal that feeds your soul. You should light as many candles as you can because this new moon is all about fire. And you should write about what your vision for love looks like in your life over the next 8 years.

Does this vision mean you will be married? Single? Having a baby? Finally an empty nester? Does this vision mean you will be working for yourself? Does it mean you will be adopting new fur babies?

The point is, how can you create a life you truly LOVE?

Write two copies of your list and save one. Then burn one and watch the smoke go up into the air.
You are releasing.

There has been so much loss and pressure this summer. We all need to release. Release and trust that the universe has provided the nutrients needed to grow our intentions and that harvest season is upon us.

Juicy New Moon

It’s going to be a juicy new moon.   Thanks to the work I have been doing since the start of the new year, I am very clear on my vision for this new life I am creating and everything I set as an intention on New Year’s Eve is coming true.  Pinch me – I love this life!  

The new moon in August is the Lover’s moon.   Ohhhh one of my favorite topics.

Love and Business.

When I was at the loft I set my intention in this magical circle of ladies to combine my love wish jar and my business wish jar.   This has been happening over the last few months without my realizing it.   Before I arrived at the loft I had a couple of encounters with successful men that made me realize these two areas of my life need to combine into one big vision.  And since the blue moon, this is the perfect discovery and intention to focus on.   How can I weave these two dreams together?  How can I infuse love into my life more?  The energy right now is ripe for change and manifesting new visions in life. 

Where are you infusing love into your life?  How can you add it more to your daily life?   What would your life look like if you LOVED every part of it?

These are the questions that I am working on with my clients at the moment.  

We are also working on Power dynamics.   I have been getting deep into the question of power dynamics in relationships.   What’s my sweet spot?  What’s your sweet spot?  I keep asking myself  about what I consider power to be.   At first I answered this question by saying – success and having money.  But then as I dug deeper I realized power has many definitions.  And I need to be able to understand it more.  

This is something I am thinking about and will have more to talk about in future posts.

For now- I am going to do my intention work now between now and the lovers new moon.    

Inspiration

I am feeling inspired this morning!   

The Universe is whispering sweet messages of change and I can honestly feel my energy shifting.  I have outgrown so many limitations in my life lately.   I am really starting to see and feel the difference.   What was once painful but accepted as life feels wrong and no longer acceptable in my life.  

This is huge!

I am blown away by this realization.  I no longer have to hold onto things out of fear or self hatred.   I can set boundaries and standards and then decide who gets to be in my life.  Instead of feeling desperate, I am feeling confident about my life.  This has also changed my story.   I no longer feel the need to please everyone nor does anyone's opinion matter but my own and those I decide upon.   

Ground Breaking!

And then I read this wonderful article about the upcoming Venus in retrograde and it explains so clearly what I am thinking and talking about.   Venus is talking to us and showing us where we need to change.  She wants us to change in these area's in the most loving way.  That's why I adore Venus. She is not a fighter but that soft energy that is going to guide you to life changing realizations.  And she wants you to change with love and fun.   

So my weekend plans are all about love, friendship, magic and relaxing.

Venus Has Been Whispering To You. Have You Been Listening?

Venus has been coming to me the last two weeks and whispering lessons into my ear.  These have been uncomfortable and life changing.  Nothing dramatic or scary.  But they are big changes.   Venus has been gentle is showing me where I need to change.  Where my heart wants to grow and where I need to let go of my old story.  I love her for this.

On the eve of the new moon I slept for two hours.  But instead of being mad or grumpy at the lack of sleep, I am grateful.   Grateful for my peaceful home where I can listen to trains at night.   Grateful to feel the breeze coming up from the waterway between the lake and the sound.  Grateful for a large deck with a new canopy that allows me to be outside in a cozy space that I am building.  Grateful for a cold bath at 4 am with magical oils to soothe me.

This is where I honor Venus for whispering these lessons to me.  She has shown me lovingly where I can and need to change and that it is safe to make these changes.  It is safe to let go of the old and take that leap of faith.  I am so grateful that I can finally hear these messages and am ready to be guided by them.

I am also in full swing of meeting with my clients again.  It feels so good to be out of vacation mode and up and running in coaching mode.  I love all the changes my clients are working on.  I love the stories and images they send me.  And I love the fact we are not just connecting as people but we are connecting on a soul and energetic level. It makes my heart so very happy. I am learning as much from them as they are learning from me.

 

New Moon This Week and Radical Self Love

Can you feel it?

I definitely can feel the energy shift.  There are a lot of love and yummy feelings going on.  I am returning to magic and clearing my mind.  Things are opening up.

But there is also a side of reality setting in.  I have made big changes lately and this requires really letting go of things in my life that are no longer working.  And be letting go it means.  I must change and do the work.
Ugh.
Not my favorite thing but it's necessary.

Anything that feels uncomfortable has to leave.  I now realize that these situations are not going to change so I must step away.   This covers work, family, friends, lovers, money.   EVERYTHING is up for change.

So I am spending the next few days writing, reflecting and making lists of what I want to call in for my new life.  I can see it so clearly.

It's been a while since I did magic. So I am excited to be back in the swing of things.

This weekend  I spent  Friday night on a date with myself and Gala Darling's new book - Radical Self Love.   I am so glad I did.   The energy/astrology stuff is a little wonky for everyone right now and this book has help me make a couple of shifts that I have been needing.
Actually, it caused some MAJOR shifts for me. It was just what I needed.
I highly recommend it.  It is a great guide into magical life changing work. And it has content that even a seasoned magic worker needs to read.  It will be on my shelf for a long time.time.

Lady Luck New Moon

The new moon is on June 16th.

I am calling her lady luck.   She is a dreamer moon, a listening moon, a wishing moon.   She is asking you to write down your dream life then asks for a larger vision.  Set intentions that almost feel impossible and know that this moon is listening.   She is bringing a bit of luck that we haven't seen this year.   We are finally coming out of the intense wash cycle of life lessons we all have been in since last year.   We should have a clearer vision of who we are and what we want in life.  It might feel scary to put your BIG dreams on paper but this is the new moon to do.   Every big dream has small steps to making it happen.  This new moon is step one for manifesting your dreams and she is listening.


I have to admit that since living my life by the moons, I am so much happier.  New moon is for manifesting.  Full moon is for releasing.   It's a life cycle I have been craving for my whole life.  There is this balance in my world that I never had before.   I have such a clear vision of my life that everyday is an opportunity for miracles.


 

If Merlin Lived In Modern Times

I truly believe if Merlin lived in modern times he would work a normal 9 to 5 day job.   He would travel between the two worlds seamlessly.  He might even live in the suburbs.  He would infuse magic in everything he did but he would also realize that in order to live he needs to live with a foot in each world.   He would also do his work quietly.  He would change lives with everything he did but he would not make a show of it because at this point magic has such a odd place in our society.   We need to normalize it.  It isn't about material objects or success.  Magic is about inviting our spirits back into our lives and living in divine harmony.  It's about working with energy to experience what it is to be living at this time. It's about being human and magical all at once.

This is what I have been learning lately.   How to be magical while living a totally normal life.   I don't need to drop out of society.  I don't need to be famous.  What I need to do is to help people return to themselves and integrate magic back into their lives on a daily basis.  To let go of their old stories and to invite their spirit back in because our spirit is what we are all craving and missing.   And our spirit is what connects us to magic.

I am so in love with my spirit.  She has come back fully in the last few months and she is not leaving.  I have been spending my time getting to know her so that she will stay.  She is beautiful and fun and happy.   So happy!

New Moon

Since I started living my life by the moon cycles, magic is everywhere.  This new moon coming up on Sunday is a fertile new moon for growing your intention. It's earthy so I will be burying my intention in the dirt. It's in Taurus so connecting it with materials goods, career and success will give it an extra oomph.  But Taurus energy is also about strong commitment and loyalty so there is a connection to relationships and love. My favorite past partner was a Taurus. They have a sweet spot in my heart.

My intention will be about my company and the big dream that just appeared this week.  I can't talk about it yet until lawyers do their things and papers are signed.  So probably not until September. But I can talk about what I will be doing until then.

I will be setting the intention for what my vision is around this situation and then I will be letting go and trusting the right outcome will happen.
Yep.
 I will not be desperate or freaked out.  My energy will be confident and secure because I know the Universe is loving and magic is happening.   I know that I am doing my soul's work and I am being rewarded for it.  And I know that if it does not work out, I still have my company that I am building on my own. So I really am in the best position.

I am meeting with new clients daily and loving every moment of it. It fuels my heart and fills my soul to be able share with them with I have learned and created.  I get to build a vision for them while contributing to my vision.  I love hearing how their lives progress as they expand and grow into magic.  I love how each person is different and yet we are all human.
