Hello Reader,
I hope you had a lovely week. For those who didn’t join me for my Cosmic Conversations talk last week, the coming week is full of change. The 10th will be a day of seismic change.
Venus, the planet most associated with love and value, moves into passionate Scorpio – inviting us to connect with what we want and let go of what we’ve outgrown in a new way. Just a few hours later, Mercury, the keeper of communication, moves into Libra – the sign of balance and partnership. The blending of these two energies may lead us to seek more opportunities for consensus-building and mediation. That evening, the Moon enters its new phase.
New Moons are times to set intentions and make wishes. Because New Moons always occur in the same sign as the Sun, Thursday's New Moon will be in Virgo. When making New Moon wishes, tailor them to the sign the Moon is in. You can make up to 10 wishes. Here are some ideas:
- I want to apply discernment in a healthy way.
- I want to offer constructive criticism without judgment.
- I want to keep my __________ organized.
- I want my tendency toward perfectionism lifted from me.
- I want my tendency to see only problems lifted from me.
- I want to overcome analysis paralysis.
- I want to joyfully be of service to ____________.
- I want to accept that being flawed is part of being human.
However many you make, it’s helpful to include one that says something like “I want all change to come with ease and grace” to keep the change from being too disruptive.
For many years, part of my work has involved using Astrology to help improve the parent-child dynamic, whether it's a parent seeking support in raising their child or an adult looking to improve their relationship with their parent.
I’ve led workshops and lectures on this topic, and I’m happy to announce that I’ve just published a small booklet with worksheets to help you start unpacking this for yourself. You can download the PDF for five dollars below.
