Action steps for the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces:
On September 17th, the Lunar Eclipse presents us with a beautiful opportunity to embrace the energy of Pisces in our lives. Pisces is the opposite sign of Virgo (our current Sun sign now), so during this period, we want to be thinking about how to balance our desire for retreat and spiritual practice (Pisces) with the need to stay grounded and involved with our day-to-day responsibilities (Virgo).
A good question to ask yourself at this time is: Do I feel I have good balance between upholding my duties and taking time for my personal meditation, self-care, and alone time?
Keeping balance will help keep your stress down, increase your intuition, and make you feel more at peace.
Another question to ask yourself is, “What am I celebrating in my life now?” And “What do I have gratitude for?”
Full Moons are an excellent time to reflect on the good in your life and see the things you’ve already manifested.
Lastly, since Full Moons bring an energy of completion to our lives, if there is someone or something you feel it’s time to let go of, now would be the perfect time for a release ceremony. Release ceremonies are designed to intentionally thank the Universe and claim your truth - your truth that you have learned the lessons required through this person or situation and you are now ready to set them free.
This can be done completely on your own because the whole point is to cut energetic cords and affirm to yourself that you are ready to let go. You no longer need this person or situation in your life; their purpose has been fulfilled.
If this sounds harsh, take a few minutes to check in with your inner child and see how he or she feels about you making this decision.
Chances are, your inner child will have wished you let go a long time ago. What I love about inner child work is that it takes us out of our ego personality and allows us to view the more sensitive, innocent parts of ourselves from a very honest, direct standpoint.
Plus, if you know this is not just about protecting you as an adult, but protecting the little, helpless child who has endured this rough treatment - and who just wants to feel loved and protected - it becomes a lot easier to make the right choice.
*Bonus offering: If you would like to access my first ever full moon meditation recording, you can listen to it on YouTube on 9/17 ~ the day of the Lunar Eclipse! I will be posting links on all my social media pages to this meditation as well.

Newsletter article:
Should I Follow Collective Transits?
By definition, collective transits are the movements of planets in the sky that affect us all globally. A transit is simply a planet in motion that makes “aspects” or angles to other planets in space. These alignments hold significance to us on Earth because they reflect our level of consciousness.
From a historical perspective, we can learn a lot about cultural events that have occurred while major collective transits were at play. Thus, there are certainly reasons to study these planetary interactions and learn about their effects on us in general, but they will not be able to state exactly what’s happening with you personally.
My concern as an astrologer is: How are these collective transits affecting YOU? And to answer that question we need to know what’s happening in your natal chart. Once we see how and where the transiting planets are affecting you, then we have solid evidence to follow.
So, when asked if one should follow collective transits, my response is only if you know how to interpret them against your birth chart. Second, I would add, even then, you don’t need to be fretting over every planetary movement and astrological configuration each day. That wouldn’t leave much time for living. Nor for practicing what you’ve already learned from studying your personal transit chart. To read more about transit charts click here.
A good piece of advice when practicing astrology is to pay attention to the overall theme for the upcoming month and the upcoming year. In this way, you can use astrology as a guide. The planets can provide you with guidance about your life, but they're not something you need to be obsessing about all day long. What we really need is an anchor to ground us and help us come back to our center. And that center has nothing to do with anything outside of ourselves. To continue reading click here.
