The Harvest Moon on September 24 opens the gateway for harvesting the fruits of your labors from the past. This is a point of annual manifestation of the cause and effect (karma) you have created during the previous year. It’s also a time to celebrate the harvest season like the ancients did at this rich time of year.
What does it take to be happy? Frankly, a lot. And by a lot, we mean effort, self-thought, self-care, and self-love. Remember, it’s a happy person who can spread happiness!
You may have read that giving makes you happy—so here’s how to make it work for you, and why it works in the first place…
Try and remember the last time you felt happy, peaceful, and worthy. What did you do to feel that? Was it when you achieved something or bought something really cool for yourself? Or was it when you gave to someone—be it your time, a gift, or charity? While it may be the former, chances are it was more of the latter…
The August 26th Full Moon will be a culminating point of everything you’ve worked for in the last year. You will feel as if you are on a mountaintop looking back over the previous year—and forward to the next year.
With energetic Mars getting ready to move forward after a 2-month retrograde just hours after the Full Moon, and with communicative Mercury having resumed forward motion on August 18, the energy will be ripe for forward movement. Prepare to take action!
Planetary Transits and Cosmic Interplay for the week of Aug 4–Aug 10
New Moon 22°44′ Gemini – June 13, 2018
A New Moon is Nature’s directive for each of us to expand upon our unique potential. It is up to us to review the energetic opportunity and decide to set an intention.
Full Moon – Sagittarius 8°10′ - May 29, 2018
All Full Moons highlight the opposing polarities in our lives. They ask us to see and make choices so that we may know ourselves better.
Throughout history we’ve celebrated the return of those who left the village and travelled beyond the “known world.” Upon their return, the information they shared with us expanded our understanding of the world and ourselves. There was both excitement and comfort in seeing the bigger picture and our place within it.
Spring is the season to clear out the cobwebs and nurture growth. It’s also the perfect time to check in with your environmental wellness—that is, your health as it relates to your relationship with nature and your environment. Environmental wellness is a holistic approach to maintaining your health, the health of those around you, and the health of our natural world.
As the political climate has become more desperate over the past few years, and social media has become a powerful force in all of our lives, it’s no wonder many people are left feeling confused, empty, disconnected, and lost. To avoid these feelings, we often turn to reckless or careless behavio or just plain old denial. Unfortunately, none of these strategies is effective, and we are left feeling just as bad, or worse, about the whole situation.
