Month: January 2018

Cosmic Correspondence – Full Moon Blue Moon Lunar Eclipse in Leo, New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius

On January 31, there will be a full moon in the sign of Leo. It’s the second full moon of the month – hence, a blue moon. The first was on January 1.  It’s also a lunar eclipse.  So a lot of energy is packed with this lunation. Especially given that it’s in a fire sign.

Full moons represent the completion of a cycle. Something being “finished” or “done.” Endings. They are generally viewed as ideal times to give thanks for receiving gifts as well as releasing what doesn’t serve you.

February 2018 won’t have any full moons.  But it will see a new moon solar eclipse in the sign of Aquarius.  New moons are ideal times for new beginnings.  To start something or begin.  Aquarius is an innovative sign.  A sign about “new ways of doing things.”   They are also community oriented.  As an air sign, it’s a communicative intellectual energy as well.

So the next few weeks are going to full of a lot of shifting energy, that’s for certain.  What you want to release, release. And what you want to begin, begin.  All the planets are moving direct until March 8.  Good energy to use to DO and CREATE and BEGIN.  Or to at least be open to the new beginnings the universe may have in store for you…

Be open to what calls you…

Meditation in a Minute

I meditate every morning.  It’s usually only for two three minutes.  As much as I’d like to spend closer to 20 or 30, it’s all I can practically spend.  One addition to my practice I’ve made point to add this year (that’s a wordy way of saying, a “resolution”)  is to meditate for at least two minutes every evening before bed.

Halfway thought the first month of the year, I’ve managed to do this every night so far. Because meditation has already been part of my daily life for a few years now, adding it to another part of my day hasn’t been that difficult.  Which makes me wonder why more people don’t do it at all.

One minute.  That’s all you need. Sixty seconds of quiet. Without the television on or any podcasts in the background. No music or noise. Put your phone away (or at least put it behind you on a countdown timer so you can’t see it and put it on silent) and just sit somewhere  and close your eyes for one minute. That’s it.  A good place to start is to count your inhales and exhales.  Count four in, hold for two, count four out.  Repeat until your timer goes off.  Remarkably easy.

Give it two weeks. And after two weeks, you’ll start to notice a few things.  That it’s really not that difficult.  And that it doesn’t take that long.  And that you feel better when you’re done. A little more calm. A little more centered. A little more of a quiet that seems to come from the inside.  You may also start to extend your minute to two or three.  And you may find yourself incorporating this Minute Meditation throughout your day. While waiting in line at the grocery store. Or while waiting for the gas to pump into your car.  You can even do it while doing other things within reason. While chopping vegetables while cooking.  While walking. While cleaning around the house.

Count in four, hold two, count out four.  Deceptively simple and remarkably rewarding.

Be open to what calls you…

Cosmic Correspondence – Three Moons and All Planets Direct

January 2018 is starting off with a lot of energy. Lunar energy, specifically.  On January 1, there will be a full moon at 11 degrees of Cancer.  We have the beginning of a new year. And with this full moon, the end of  a cycle. That dynamic coupled with the polarity between Cancer (emotional, sensitive, family oriented)  and Capricorn (work horse, responsible, grounded),  January 1 may feel a little…off.  But as with all things – it will pass.  It’s a good day to give thanks for the completion of a cycle. A lunar cycle as well as a year that has just passed. And then be open to the new year ahead.

Then on January 2, Uranus will go direct.  This will mark a period of about 8 weeks or so when all planets are direct. From January 2 until March 8, nothing will be retrograde. Whatever you have wanted to begin, or look into…this is the green light from the universe.  New Year’s Resolutions…you won’t have the stars to blame for not following through.   We get this period of a few weeks of everything moving direct every year. It’s not a time to gloss over. Take advantage of that energy moving you forward.

There’s a new moon in the middle of the month, and it is also involving Uranus and Mars. Surprising events may take place. New moons are also a time to start things – to begin. So it may be just the surprise you need to encourage you to move something forward.

The month is bookended by another full moon. This one is at 11 degrees of Leo.  And it’s a lunar eclipse.  Eclipses end things, more so than with an ordinary full moon.  Leo is a different energy than Cancer.  A lot more dynamic and rushing in to get things done. It’s as if the first month of this new year is almost forcing us to take a look at what we need to let go of in order to really move forward. And if we do it on our own, it will be a lot easier than if we wait for the universe to do it for us. So be sure to use that first full moon to release and let go. The full moon in Leo may be a little more aggressive with things.

The start of a new year or a new lunar cycle (with a new moon) is an ideal time to work on a manifestation board.  You cut out words or images that you want for yourself that year or in the lunar period.  The idea is that you put it  in a place that you will see every day and just by looking at the pictures and the words, the ideas get put in your head. The same way advertising in magazines or billboards or TV ads work.  The manifestation board can focus on one specific area (let’s say money or career) or everything and anything you want for yourself in any area.  After the year has passed or the lunar cycle, look back at the board and see how many of those things actually came into you life. You may be surprised.

I hope this new year is full of blessings and miracles for all of us.  And the cosmic push to move forward with our lives.

Be open to what calls you…
