Pink Full Moon in Libra

Welcome to the first full moon of the astrological year. Full Moons ask us to reveal what is no longer in alignment with our dreams and goals. When we let go of what is no longer serving us, it allows for more space for what does. Closing doors means new ones will open. And just a reminder: closing a chapter or saying goodbye to something does not take away the importance of it - it just means that you won’t be held back from it anymore. Allow yourself to step forward into your beautiful life.

Worm Full Moon in Virgo

It’s the last full moon of the astrological year. We are deep in eclipse season. It is a time where emotions are running high, passion levels feel intense, and anything and everything feels like it might last forever - but I promise you, every thought, feeling, and emotion is temporary. Impermanence, impermanence, impermanence. This last full moon of the year asks us to shed what is no longer serving. It is asking us to be brave and release in order to step into our highest version of selves.

New Moon in Capricorn

The beginning of the year always calls for newness. We are simply humans, marking time as it goes by and asking ourselves if we are living our truth out loud. It is always beneficial to look inwards and check in with yourself, however - I am here to remind you that it is the dead of winter, which is a time of rest and relaxation. And while we are always striving for ‘the best year yet,’ I want to slightly change the perspective: what if we had multiple good years, one after another? Years filled with love, challenges, heartbreak, laughter and everything in-between?
