WORD FOR THE MONTH Hardwork FOCUS AREAS Home, family, emotions, feelings, intimacy, nurturing, safety, tenacity, and patience. HEADS UP Happy Sol-clipse! We have a dynamic combination of the Summer Solstice and a Solar Eclipse New Moon occurring almost at the same time, within 9 hours of each other. The Sol-clipse sets the tone for the next 6 months which indicates major new beginnings and is as life-changing as the first six months of 2020 have been. This is the beginning of a very profound time and you are here to be a part of it. Astrologer Divine Harmony has noted that the maximum eclipse is at the exact same time, to the minute, as the New Moon, a rare instance she has never seen, so it makes sense that nothing makes sense. This rare alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth is providing a portal for the movement of a lot of energy. Humanity within society sits in between this energy exchange. We have lived in a patriarchal society for a long time, very intense yang male energy. We as a society have been disconnected from the matriarchal, but a strong female yin energy has been rising and it will be coming full force in the time ahead of us. Psychiatrist Carl Jung coined the word enantiodromia, to define the phenomena seen when the superabundance of any force produces its opposite when equilibrium is trying to be achieved. First, we are going to see an overabundance of female matriarchal energy before balance is restored. This coincidence of opposites was articulated by Greek philosopher Heraclitus around 500 BCE describing the dynamic motion back and forth between duality seen in nature and physics. Jung states in Aspects of the Masculine: "This characteristic phenomenon practically always occurs when an extreme, one-sided tendency dominates conscious life; in time an equally powerful counterposition is built up, which first inhibits the conscious performance and subsequently breaks through the conscious control.” Basically anything in an extreme state will turn into its opposite extreme. This potent and dynamic Sol-clipse New Moon is screaming this energy. Heraclitus’ famous statement that no one steps in the same river twice is strong at play here. Although things are always constantly changing, core to our time-based life, things are going to be really changing for everyone. It already has and it's not over. We are called to pay attention and be cautious and responsible. Those three things are hard to do on their own, so a lot is being asked of us. We need flexibility and open-mindedness as we adapt to changing conditions. Be a problem solver instead of a complainer, as things are shifting whether we like it or not. In a Solar Eclipse, the Moon darkens the Sun as it moves between it and the Earth. This one is considered a partial eclipse so it leaves a ring of light around the eclipsed Sun, often known as a ring of fire. In hindu philosophy, fire symbolizes transformation, a burning down to ashes to make way for something new to arise. It is both the destroyer and creator of life. As all of humanity sits within the ring of fire at this New Moon, everything is transforming before our eyes. Everything. Transformational heat is generating within ourselves and society. Hindus use fire as a method to move into the next stage in the afterlife. What will our afterlife look like, post covid? There are a lot of scenarios our future can be after we emerge from the fires. Are we burning away ignorance? Hate? Fear? Greed? Anger? We have an opportunity to re-imagine our future. How do you see it? As the Moon casts a shadow on our Earth during this eclipse, many of our dark shadows will come to Light. We must face what is in the dark shadows personally, and in society, in order for transformation to occur. Light always will reveal what impurities are blocking us from it. What is blocking you? What is blocking us all? The answers are being revealed. What is toxic is going to become front and center. This New Moon is in the sign of Cancer, helping us learn lessons about the importance of family and home. Cancer is in the realm of the Mother, one who wants to birth a new world for us, but also calm our fears and nurture what is possible. Tap into this motherly, feminine energy at our disposal while we enter into a time of major change and transformation. We may get emotional and moody as we bring up old wounds and get rid of our old story. Have compassion on yourself and fellow humans. The Cancer New Moon is here to nourish us as we heal and do inner work, allowing us a sense of security in this dynamic time.

Temperance Card - Thoth Tarot The phases of the moon are among the most fascinating and reachable cosmic behaviors we can observe with the naked eye. Every New Moon marks the beginning of the lunar cycle, an energetic shift where our ideas can gestate and we search for new and inventive ways to make progress. Everyone can benefit from a burst of energy and initiative that marks the start of the New Moon’s 28-day cycle. No matter what spiritual background you come from, participating in this monthly exercise can help you connect to your soul’s purpose and plan steps to get closer to it.

Since we live in a Universe that is constantly moving, each month the New Moon is at a different place in our Cosmos allowing us a chance to plant different intentions throughout the year. A new cycle begins this time in Gemini which is about resonating on a higher vibration.
Be part of a collective event done by people all over the world! Write your list after 1:39 pm EST on Friday, May 22nd, 2020. WORD FOR THE MONTH Rebuilding FOCUS AREAS Adaptability, communication, ideas, planning, motivation, versatility, truth, listening, and imagination. HEADS UP Happy New Moon in Gemini, which happens to be trine Saturn, meaning these two celestial bodies are 120 degrees apart and generally means a harmonious angle of support. The energy of this Gemini New Moon is screaming at us to rebuild what has fallen, get back to work, and make progress with longer-term goals. Progress may be slow, but Saturn gives great patience and perseverance to us. We will be willing to sacrifice immediate gratification to meet our long-term goals. What are they? Come up with new ideas. What excites you? The energy of the Gemini New Moon wants us to share these ideas with others, so speak about it to those with listening ears. There is a lot of mental energy at our disposal allowing us to keep busy and distracted at this time of isolation and global chaos. Sounds wonderful right? But do take some time to give your mind a break and hear what the silence is telling you. Our ancestors are giving us messages to help us get through these times, guiding us, providing clarity that is missing from our media. Be sure to take some down time to tune in. During the start of the month we had several planets going retrograde; Saturn, Venus, and Jupiter. This brings us continued confusion, misinterpretation, and misinformation. As a result, we may feel chaotic energy in our physical world, but in our inner world, we can really dive deep and achieve clarity, uncover new insights and inspirations. Our world, for the first time is united by a single cause--everyone, and anyone, has been affected by the current pandemic and all of its consequences, ecological, politically, economically, and socially. We are all one, whether an earthworm or human, in a point of singularity in history. This is a unique situation in our human history, full of purpose. This Gemini trine Saturn New Moon doesn’t want us living in fear—hope resonates on a higher vibration. Be willing to trade in an uncertain future for getting rid of the unsustainable past. Society is being rebirthed. Can you feel it? Vulnerabilities are being exposed everywhere. Cracks in our foundations are getting bigger and new ones are appearing. This is because the Moon represents the unconscious and this New Moon in Gemini, the sign of the twins, deals with having to face one’s shadow. We have seen the best and worst of human nature during this global crisis. We cannot keep living the way we were and expect to have a sustainable and resilient population of humans on this planet. Change must happen and we are being given an unexpected opportunity to rewrite our future. What are you going to change? We will all collectively live differently, and hopefully, change the path of our future to one of love, equality, community, compassion, and resiliency. Or, continue to live with injustice, greed, patriarchy, capitalism, profit over people, addiction, and poverty. We are at a place of choosing. What will be your choice? Some things to consider: Do you want cheap food, or good health? Why are we fostering collapse with government bailouts, instead of supporting/funding change? What would your community look like if everyone benefited from its resources, except for just the privileged? People are rising against a mechanistic system that is successful at removing our joy and replacing it with fear. Question everything at a time when our questioning is being suppressed. Gemini’s archetype is giving us the energy to go push through the suppression. We will all begin to feel this urge if we are living mindfully and in awareness. Are you awake at this time? Or sleeping? Walk in the light and the heart, Kat Lahr HOW TO MAKE A NEW MOON LIST: Gather paper and a pen, pencil, marker or other type of writing utensil.

A new cycle begins this time in Pisces which is about reflecting on and visualizing what you are becoming as the seeds begin to stir in the ground preparing to emerge.
Be part of a collective event done by people all over the world! Write your list after 10:32 am EST on Sunday, February 23rd, 2020. WORD FOR THE MONTH Renewal FOCUS AREAS Imagination, healing, release, addictions, love, confusion, mystery, instincts, and nostalgia. HEADS UP Happy New Moon in Pisces! This New Moon encourages us to spend time in reflection and release. A great cycle to meditate, dream, journal, and access the connection to our Higher-Self and see what needs to be healed and left behind. Pisces is the sign of the collective unconscious. Societal transformation is required and in our hands right now. Imagine what type of world you would like to live in this Pisces cycle. Release anything that keeps you from contributing your talents to this collective purpose of saving humanity and our planet. This is an invaluable investment to make in our lives, our world, and our futures. A strong sense of compassion will embrace you this Pisces season. Since Pisces is a water energy, it knows no boundaries. Water needs to be kept flowing since stagnant water becomes toxic very quickly. This flowing water energy wants us to work on how we deal with emotions. If we continue to have an emotional response to every situation in life, we will continue to suffer mentally. If we let emotions come and pass without acting on them, we can change our reality. Remove the boundaries, let your emotions flow, don’t contain them. All of us can learn to live in “the flow” a little better. This New Moon happens to fall within a Mercury retrograde cycle in Pisces, causing lots of confusion, smokey mirrors, and rose-colored glasses. During this time, we’re better off thinking with our hearts. When we think with our heads, so much can go wrong. The mind, controlled by the ego, is governed by past beliefs that are often not our truths. The heart is more reliable and has a direct connection to our inner-light. The two fish of the Pisces symbol represents the human in the physical world, and the soul in the spiritual world, together as one. We are both divine and human, and this New Moon is to remind us that we are spiritual beings living a human experience. There is more to existence than the physical world and appearances. With that being said, we are being called to tap into this intuition and touch our spirit, as this is a time of increased perception. Don’t miss out on it! Walk in the light and the heart, Kat Lahr HOW TO MAKE A NEW MOON LIST: Gather paper and a pen, pencil, marker or other type of writing utensil.

Aquarius by Yuhon Every New Moon marks the beginning of the lunar cycle, an energetic shift where our ideas can gestate and we search for new and inventive ways to make progress. Everyone can benefit from a burst of energy and initiative that marks the start of the New Moon’s 28-day cycle. Give yourself permission to connect authentically with yourself this month. Since we live in a Universe that is constantly moving, each month the New Moon is at a different place in our Cosmos allowing us a chance to plant different intentions throughout the year.

Be part of a collective event done by people all over the world! Write your list after 3:44 pm EST on Friday, January 24th, 2020. WORD FOR THE MONTH Flexibility FOCUS AREAS Uncertainty, change, renewal, emotions, patience, unpredictability, excitement, and rebellion. HEADS UP Happy New Moon in Aquarius! This New Moon happens to square Uranus, which happens when two planets are 90 degrees apart. A square aspect represents challenges and conflict between the planets involved. Our best use of a square is to weigh the pros and cons and compromise. This creates some volatile energy, not necessarily the way we want to start our new year, but this can bring up some useful options for us. This cycle will bring with it shocks and surprises, so we must be on our toes, flexible, and centered. Stay grounded and work out why you are feeling restless or what is causing the feeling of impending drama and chaos, should it spawn upon you. Since Uranus is ruled by Aquarius, we are going to be triggered even more on an emotional level. Be ready to process emotions, even if you were not ready to. This is good though, because overall, humanity needs to get better at “feeling” our emotions, instead of just pushing them aside where they end up residing in our bodies in unhealthy ways. Actually sitting with how anger, loneliness, or jealousy feels can do wonders for our mental health. We tend to be afraid to feel our emotions, as society calls us weak if we do. But this is exactly what we are being called to do right now—feel, lightly reflect, and move on—instead of tucking the emotion away for it to explode like a volcano sometime later on when triggered. This is because when we feel, we heal. The key here though is not to place judgement on ourselves or think too hard about the emotions when we are feeling them, just feel them. This Uranus square to our Aquarian New Moon could also bring potential for expanded awareness from unexpected awakenings. There is room for growth everywhere, and this energy is helping us take notice of where we can expand next. Uranus had been retrograde since August 2019 and just turned direct on January 10th, so the radical awakenings are coming from the inside out. Aquarius is the sign of the humanitarian and of community. It is a sign associated with helping others and thinking about the collective. We are asked to honor one another and our planet, caring about our natural resources, and how our choices affect one another. We do not live in isolation, we never have. Humans are community-based animals and we depend on our planet to survive. Honor this energy and do something nice for your community, neighbor, or planet this next month. Become a steward of the Earth, afterall we live in her biosphere. Become a part of the larger cultural shift that is happening. In this spirit, I share with you a poem by Drew Dellinger titled “Hieroglyphic Stairway.” it’s 3:23 in the morning and I’m awake because my great great grandchildren won’t let me sleep my great great grandchildren ask me in dreams what did you do while the planet was plundered? what did you do when the earth was unraveling? surely you did something when the seasons started failing? as the mammals, reptiles, birds were all dying? did you fill the streets with protest when democracy was stolen? what did you do once you knew?… Walk in the light, Kat Lahr HOW TO MAKE A NEW MOON LIST: Gather paper and a pen, pencil, marker or other type of writing utensil.

WORD FOR THE MONTH Completion FOCUS AREAS Subconscious, reassessment, manifestation, success, taking charge, security, respect, structure, and order. HEADS UP Happy New Moon in Capricorn! The last New Moon of the year, but when we end cycles, new ones always begin. This is the beauty of the cyclical nature of our Universe and subsequently our lives. Getting the chance to start over and begin again is refreshing and usually welcomed. We are entering that space now. Numerologically, we are completing a number 3 year and moving towards a number 4 year. This means we are ending a year of finding our sense of purpose and power through freedom and chaos and beginning one of organizing and finding the methods to implement that newfound power through vision and accomplishment. What that said, we’re looking at the foundations of our lives to see if we can rely on them. If not, we need to restructure things. Begin considering what foundations needs shifting for you. Even more, we are ending a decade and starting a new one, bringing us tremendous energy for slamming doors already on their way closed and considering what new ones to walk through. What you do now has a colossal effect on your future, as seeds are being planted now. Be the master of your garden by pulling out those weeds and prepping the soil for seeds that are going to take root. If you are not an active participant at this time, seeds may be planted for you through whatever the wind brings your way. Wouldn't you rather have some say on what you plant? Afterall, you are the one that will have to tend to it, regardless of how the seeds are planted. The Winter Solstice has just occurred and many of us are now at the darkest time of the year. Our bodies are physically impacted by this on so many levels, including metaphysically. The good news is immediately after the Winter Solstice we begin approaching longer time of daylight. This weighed heavily on societies throughout humanity, who as a response held various solstice celebrations meant to revere the death of the old Sun and welcoming back the light with the birth of the new Sun. Do the same for yourself. Take some time to honor what your life has been like the past year and past decade. Say goodbye and welcome in the new. Carl Jung once said that “One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” We are called during these darkest moments of the year to confront what we have stashed there and experience it deeply. By honoring our darkness in this way we obtain an inner authority that produces a magnificent inner-consciousness we can tap into at any time. We have been taught to fear the dark, rather than seek to understand and heal it within us. We are called to do this so that we can be responsible for our own dark side and not project it onto others. Yes, we are all connected and feel everyone’s darkness.

Eight of Wands Thoth Tarot New Moons occur when the Sun and Moon unite in the sky, sharing the same degree of an astrological sign. The Moon starts a new cycle at this point and we’re invited to begin one as well. New Moons have been known throughout the times as one of initiation and intention-setting.

Be part of a collective event done by people all over the world! Write your list after 10:06 am EST on Tuesday, November 26th, 2019. WORD FOR THE MONTH Prepare FOCUS AREAS Truth, education, expansion, freedom, peace, future, impulsiveness, and optimism. HEADS UP Happy New Moon in Sagittarius! Riding the wave of depth and emotions from Scorpio season, Sagittarius season thrusts us into adventure and expansion. Where do you want to grow? What are your passions? What gets you excited? Consider what new adventures can serve these purposes in your life. As with the last New Moon, this one is also opposite Uranus, continuing the erratic and restless influence. The difference this time is that Mars is joining this relationship to re-energize this already sensitive situation. This build up of energy can feel exciting or scary since Sagittarius is a fire sign, igniting infernos of various kinds. This can be exactly what’s needed for many of us, or utterly destructive for others. Regardless of what it is for you, continue to seek grounding and balance. Carnelian is an excellent crystal to assist in this. Throw a small one in your pocket or purse. The Sagittarius’ fire can be viewed from another perspective, represented as energy in its most exalted state, materially as electrical current and light. This is the opposite of incineration and combustion which is usually the sentiments with fire. Instead, this high-velocity energy creates, instead of destroys, inner spiritual energy and light. Light is a fluid of energetic vibration thought of as the basis of the first matter. Therefore, this energy is quite creative, forming, and manifesting. Light, as we know it, is a spectrum full of colors, and contains the same diversity that we see in humanity, only at the spiritual level. Meaning, we all have different spiritual wounds, healing, and requirements. Only you know what your soul will need this cycle. Stop and tune in to your inner-light, and prepare to manifest this coming 2020. Sagittarius is especially potent right now because its ruling planet, Jupiter, is in its sign. This only happens once every 12 years for about a year and we are coming close to the end of this cycle for Jupiter, before it moves on to Capricorn for about a year. So anything having to do with Sagittarius's archetypal energy is ramped up and high vibrational at this time (exploration, faith, truth, restlessness, ethics, learning, idealism, culture). So pay attention to what is up at the surface trying to get your attention, as whatever that is for you is seeking to be finalized in some way over the next few weeks as Jupiter leaves Sagittarius. We get the ability to peak beneath the surface, so take advantage of Sagittarius still in it's home-sign and free yourself from whatever is up for your notice. Think about all the space you will have in your energy field for the beginning of 2020. This is called proactive changing. It’s never too early to consider what our goals and priorities are for the next year of our lives. Aim your arrow towards your greatest desires and dream big instead of pointing aimlessly, and your effort will be more efficient.

WORD FOR THE MONTH Surrender FOCUS AREAS Empowerment, change, self-acceptance, restlessness, surprises, transformation, stubbornness, instinct, and extremes. HEADS UP Happy New Moon in Scorpio! This New Moon is highly charged, due to its opposition to Uranus, the planet of revolution, disruption, and surprises. Uranus happens to be in the sign of Taurus, an Earth sign, so do your best to stay grounded this month. You will feel the ground shifting at your feet this cycle. Scorpio is a water sign, and as a result we may have a hard time grounding this month and be overly emotional and “in our head” as a response to shaky ground. Try to resist this and stay grounded. Watch for chaotic energy everywhere, including your internal space. The best response is to be flexible and adaptable, ride the waves, especially since right now you cannot control its motion.We can have a positive ride on these waters if we look for alternative ways to find solutions to our problems. We are being pushed outside our comfort zones so that we can expand our consciousness and connect better with our intuitive knowledge. This is not a physical exercise, its an energetic exercise. Those that do not sink at this time in the choppy waters will be keen survivors with sharpened brains. This cycle is a beautiful time to release anything that is damaging to us, ask for transformation, and then ultimately healing. This immediately leads to a new perspective, which we all need at this current time in our global state. The Hindu Goddess Kali’s energy is highly potent with this cycle helping us to discern what is ego based, versus spirit based. Take time to reflect on what we hold attachments to. Why do we hold them? Are they ego focused? If so, Kali’s energy can help us sever those unhealthy, society-conditioned attachments with her mighty sword. If we don't focus on eliminating those desires, then it will lead to unstable energy in our fields. There’s a Zen Proverb states “Let go or be dragged.” Loss is a part of life in all ways; physically, emotionally, and metaphysically. The purpose as we move through our own cycle of ego is so that we can lose things we no longer need, then walk into spiritual wisdom. We are all being called to focus on acquiring our spiritual power. When life gets hectic this cycle, separate yourself from the situation and look at it from above. This concept is called Divided Attention, coined by Biet Simkin, allows us to see past difficulty at the bigger picture, and allows us to see beauty and love, ultimately allowing us to grow, mature, and evolve.

Whatever you have been working on or dreaming of can now flow with little effort. This is an excellent phase for making dreams comes true and to complete difficult tasks as the energy supports practical results and minimal mistakes. You can be efficient and have energy available to take on even the hardest of tasks. However, with this energy short term gratification is replaced by long term potential, so be sure to think way into the future. This structured ambition fuels inspiration and our motivation. This moon cycle we are called to remove any blocks that keep us receiving this month’s New Moon opportunities. In order for this to happen we must surrender and allow things to happen as they do. Pisces is a water sign, so take some time this month to refresh and ground your soul with water in some way—go swimming, take regular baths and the like to connect better with your intuition. Like electricity, water flows in and out, back and forth, and we must trust that the Universe is in control, just as our ocean’s water dances with the Moon through the beat of the tides. Be willing to have confidence that the flow and where we are in life is exactly where we need to be right now and that a higher order is in loving control. This watery and dreamy New Moon is spiritually enlightening. Healing and spiritual resources are at our disposal. Pisces is represented by two fish symbolizing an individual’s soul and physical body. If you have yet to connect with your spirit, you might just hear it this month. If you already regularly do, the energy of this month allows for you to receive its messages effortlessly. We just need to stop, tune in, and listen. This transcendental New Moon will reset our soul heightening our spirituality and allowing us to become more aware of everything. Are you ready? This is an excellent phase for karmic companionship. We are able to connect and find people on our level and vibration much easier this New Moon. We are to honor our close relationships this month as they provide the greatest source of help and guidance. Accepting imperfections in ourselves and in others is the first step in honoring them. When we work to love ourselves firsts, we become infused with new energy which we can lavish onto others in our relationships. As always, a drop of wisdom – put people at the center of your concerns, not profits, and watch how people do the same for you.

WORD FOR THE MONTH Manifestation FOCUS AREAS Career, goals, management, ambition, accountability, self-discipline, intuition, and compassion. HEADS UP Welcome to the first New Moon of thirteen this year. It just so happens that this first New Moon of the year is also an Eclipse, so we get to manifest our dreams and wishes beyond this moon cycle for several months. Since during a Solar Eclipse the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth, it interrupts the flow of energy and gives us a kind of cosmic reboot. New Year’s resolutions made or not, most of us intuitively feel an energy shift whenever the year turns. The past few energy cycles focused on an inward journey of transformation and reforming the matrix of our inner world so that we can better prepare what will manifest in our outer world. Capricorn’s energy is about taking power in the external world, creating the change we want to nurture our dreams in a realistic fashion. Therefore, this cycle we are called to consider the future and preparing for it. Make a long-term commitment this month in achieving some desired goal in the future. With discipline, pure focus, and ambition, you can learn practical skills and have success. Capricorn is the most ambitious of all the signs with a strong drive for success, but one must be concerned with stepping on others in its climb to the top. We are at a time in society where we must consider our impact to the collective human race while we are striving for our personal goals. Avoiding the Tragedy of the Commons, developed in Greek philosophy, should be everyone’s goal, as its in our best interest in the end. This tragedy is currently what’s destroying our world with greed and an imbalanced sense of entitlement at the basis. Consider the difficult landscape that you had to travel through to reach this point in your life. No one has had a perfect path. Capricorn’s New Moon energy wants us to assess what we need in order to grow and address our challenges found on our life journey. What are your fears? Knowing what sabotages us provides amazing awareness. And guess what… fears will sabotage your plans. Be mindful of what your fears are when navigating this month’s cycle. Up for review is anything that we didn’t fully process in 2018. What is still not working? Find cues to what these are by paying attention to what carries an emotional charge and/or what occupies your thoughts. It is highly possible that if we are not mindful of what theses things might be, a strong, disruptive, sudden change may occur with Uranus coming out of retrograde the same day as the New Moon. Sometimes we are pushed forcibly onto our path if we aren’t close to it. If you happen to be close to your path, this surge of energy will renew your spirit and set you off in fast motion. Our roads are often plagued with limitations, but by recognizing them we get opportunities to focus on what really matters within our boundaries. The lines have been set, now we are to work within them. Our home is where we start. Light some candles and clear your home environment of dense and negative energies by burning incense or sage. Regardless of how Capricorn’s energy plays out for you this month, one thing for sure is that we are strongly reminded that we are worthy of love. Take time this next month to recognize and acknowledge your emotions, the first step in learning to love ourselves. As always, a drop of wisdom – inspire and uplift others, instead of tearing down with sarcasm and negativity.

WORD FOR THE MONTH Adjustment FOCUS AREAS Compassion, forgiveness, control, discretion, regeneration, tenacity, adventure, expansion, and intuition. HEADS UP Happy New Moon in Sagittarius! This cycle we are being called to alchemically take what was learned and established in the last New Moon in Scorpio and transform it into something else with the Sagittarian energy of this New Moon. Last month we had focused energy of self-forgiveness, and this month this energy continues with the self, but that of self-transformation. We all fall prey to our emotions, and sometimes must ask for forgiveness. The energy of Sagittarius helps us exercise forgiveness, but understanding as well, that not only do we mess up sometimes, so do others. Compassion lays in the midst of the lesson of forgiveness and provides beautiful energy as we end the year. We are given the opportunity to lift the veil of sorrow from our lives by exercising compassion. Find out what lights your fire, then give others the freedom to blaze their own. Fire is a source of life and should burn the way it’s needed for the individual. We are all genetically different, and therefore, have different fires. Use this new cycle to work through the discomfort that comes from processing emotions, as it will benefit you tremendously. The Cosmos promise that there will be a rainbow after the storm. Sagittarian energy always brings with it the phoenix arising from the ashes. What needs regeneration in your life? Process your pain, whatever it is, by having compassion on yourself, and watch what type of beauty and perspective arises from that. This is a good starting exercise for us as 2019 will have a big focus astrologically on you, and your inner self, the process of individuation. In 2018 we have been working on our reaction to the outer world around us, but the focus is shifting internally in 2019. We all have to work through our layers and tap into our authenticity, as our future holds the need for us to do so. The temperance card is often associated with the Sagittarius Zodiac due to its mutable energy of transformation. This month we have the ability to take something and change it—to temper it. Water and fire temper each other, they in a sense regulate/balance each other. Tempering occurs when we let opposites attract; just as negative electrons always look for positive protons. Since nature needs to regulate its polarities, we too need to find what balances us out. This New Moon cycle is urging us to have our feet in different places so that we aren’t stuck to one side. There is merit to this, as having an open mind to how other people live provides a much more loving space and environment for life. You may notice something you never saw before when walking in the shoes of someone else which is an additional exercise in compassion. Aspects of life and society are changing all around us, some at exponential paces, because our world is in chaos. Bring that external change, internally. Sagittarius’ other symbol of the mythical half-man/half-horse who reflects our urge to rise above “animal instincts” can help us realize our true human potential. Earth is changing and is calling for us humans to live on a new vibration, and that’s why so many of us are being called to turn internally, find spirit, and live a more authentic life. Sagittarius is playing its part this cycle in this cosmic unfolding, and ultimately provides hope. As always, a drop of wisdom - aim to forgive yourself for past mistakes instead of feeling guilt.

WORD FOR THE MONTH Transformation FOCUS AREAS Commitment, soul mates, forgiveness, empowerment, personal responsibility, self-mastery, and passion. HEADS UP Happy New Moon in Scorpio! We are being urged with this New Moon to free ourselves from restrictions and negativity. Unfinished business is being illuminated in this dark Scorpion energy as emotions are raw and exposed. Although self-examination may be uncomfortable under these energies, the outcome is a more refined human and psychological healing. We will continue to repeat patterns until we learn from past experiences and mistakes, and this New Moon in Scorpio wants us to clear out some of these lingering unhealthy energies in preparation for the upcoming new year. Scorpio gives us a straight path of accessing our intuition to know what to leave behind before the fresh start. We are often reminded by the daily news of what can happen when people reach their breaking point and have lost their sense of true inner power. We too have our own stories to add. Personal pain is a normal part of our existence. However, we are not invisible and do have a place in our world. This New Moon in Scorpio can be dark, but just as the stars pepper our sky, so does the joy in the small things we encounter daily. Scorpio reminds us of our mortality in this season of death, but also of the power we have to find and enjoy illumination in the many opportunities provided to us during our day. Raise your antennas and make it a priority to find joy every day, even in something as small as seeing a child sing, or enjoying a latte with extra cream. Make a commitment to regain your power by showing yourself love and compassion. None of us lead perfect lives. We are all on a journey of learning and growing. Practice radical forgiveness first with yourself, then exercise that skill on others. This is a time to solidify our own philosophies. What are they? What are your personal truths? Take some time this cycle to consider what these are. If you have trouble with this exercise or need some help facilitating this, consider bringing an amazonite crystal into your space. This stone has its links to the ocean, the place of primal creation, bringing us back to the vibration of our beginnings before we lost touch from society’s conditioning. Use this cycle to reframe what you do with information that comes your way. Place your own lens on it and gain your personal perspective. With Mercury retrograding this month as well, it’s time for revisiting some life lessons. Review what you have learned in 2018 as a way to prepare your space for the upcoming year change. Numerologically speaking, we will soon be transitioning from a number 2 year, to a number 3 year. This can be viewed as moving from a social year to one of your own personal needs. In other words, moving from we to I. We have a profound opportunity to move past old karmic patterns developed from our interaction with others to clear space for focusing on the beautiful internal you. Any last-minute expansion of this personal space will come through now as we dive into the watery depths of this Scorpio New Moon, as we are being called to heal ourselves first, then our world. As always, a drop of wisdom - make partners not enemies. With light and love, Kat Lahr HOW TO MAKE A NEW MOON LIST: Gather paper and a pen, pencil, marker or other type of writing utensil.

WORD FOR THE MONTH Foundation FOCUS AREAS Partnership, teamwork, peace, social, beauty, passion, fairness, balance, and counseling. HEADS UP Happy New Moon in Libra! This is the first New Moon of the season change and it is a wonderful time to achieve some grounding and balance in our lives. This energy is urging us to balance and attend to everything that is a priority in our life. This balancing act is easier said than done when work tends to be where we spend the most energy. But don’t forget to protect yourself. Your day can’t always be about everybody else. Libran energy is urging us to take time for ourselves every day, in a quiet reflective state, to relax and check in. This New Moon is reminding us that we have many things that are important to us, and doing them all in the right quantity is crucial to our happiness and ultimate survival. All around is an epidemic within humanity of poor emotional, physical, psychological, philosophical, relationship, behavioral, social, creative, and spiritual health. Everyone is dealing with too much. These are side effects of negativity, fear, inequality, capitalism, and patriarchy. When will it end? The amazing thing is that you get to actually decide how you want to feel. Libra is continuing to push along a new vibration of energy that the Earth has been churning up that more and more people are connecting with. It all begins with taking regular moments for you. For the self. Libra also brings with it an energy of detoxification. Our lives are heavily bombarded by chemicals, not just in our food, but our air is full of what comes out of our cars. We breath that in everyday, all day. This also includes the detox from society and it’s conditioning. The root cause of self-esteem issues is confusion about who we really are and what defines us. Getting to know our real-selves, and connecting with our inner light that defines us, requires a healthy body. Therefore, clean living, a healthy diet, exercise, and mental health are most important. Pay attention to what in your environment is poisoning you, then do something about it! A radical transformation with this New Moon is a possibility. An invigorating burst of energy and initiative is at our disposal. Issues that started, or were brought up at the beginning of the year, are called up for review again. Circumstances and patterns from then may be reliving themselves. This is an opportunity for us to review our responses and immediate environment. Is it amazing? How do you feel about it? Does anything need to change? This energy, however, is overall positive and can resolve ongoing problems, finish things that were started, or collect upon investments made (time, money, or physical). The New Moon in Libra is also concerned with the human element of personal relationships, and the human qualities of kindness and appreciation. This is a time for giving our relationships their due attention and giving them priority. Resolution of conflicts is in focus. You may feel more sympathetic to those who you are in relations with. Make it a priority to reinvigorate happiness, social goals, and friendships. As always a drop of wisdom - channel negative energy into ambition and hard work.

WORD FOR THE MONTH Heart FOCUS AREAS Love, creativity, confidence, courage, release, reflection, freedom, recreation, and children. HEADS UP Happy New Moon in Leo! We are well within the Eclipse season with this 3rd a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo being the last one for the year. That means right now the Moon is passing in between the Sun and Earth interrupting the flow of energy which gives a sort of cosmic reboot. As a result, New Moons with Eclipses are super-charged New Moons, creating an atmosphere of starting over and refreshing your space. The entire planet is being called to direct our attention inward and to our past. We are to take care of personal business and tie up loose ends before we move on to the next phase of humanity. This may mean its time to confront what’s hidden in our shadows which can be a daunting task. To help, feel with your heart this next month and find that connection with your higher power, whatever that is for you. Last New Moon in Cancer we stirred up emotions, and this month’s eclipsed New Moon continues this theme with unpredictability, intensity, and impulsiveness. We are living at a time of extremes. Many will say that nothing major happened when the year of the Hopi prophecy came to be in 2012. But in fact, something did happen. There was a shift in the Cosmos that started the beginning of the current global stage we are experiencing. We are 6 years past that cosmic tipping point and the energy is continuing to flow over. People are acting up all over the world. Emotions are heightened everywhere causing reactivity of various natures. If your anxious, nervous, or feel out of control, you’re not alone. We are living at a time of extremes. People all over the world are getting out of that vibration and joining a different one that fits better with their inner truth. Do your best to avoid getting distracted by the surrounding drama, as those on the higher frequency are warriors for the good of the whole, not only the self. This New Moon in Leo is calling us to make a greater commitment to community. It’s time to get out of the tragedy of commons we are living in—we must begin to think about the health of our community, and not just short-term personal gain. Our choices for short term personal gain is harming the planet. Only those that have the talents and skills to do this will survive today’s tumultuous societal energy. To do this you must have a heart of a lion, symbolizing courage and strength. We are fortunate enough to have a Solar Eclipse in Leo this New Moon to help provide this heeded fortitude. The old paradigm is dying. What looks like destruction is actually the beginning of new life. Just as in the primordial chaos that developed life on this planet, we too will reform society and make sense and order out of the current disorder. We all have a purpose in this transformation. What will jump-start your heart into action? Consider what moves your soul and begin working with it. If you have citrine crystals, keep them close this month, as Leo is the sign most closely related to the Sun, and citrine has always been known as the sun-stone. Citrine carries the energy of the Sun and is energizing, life-giving, and stirs the soul into action. Use Leo’s energy this month to have the will to trust our hearts and find out what it wants and needs. As always, a drop of wisdom - be a giver, not only a user.

WORD FOR THE MONTH Death FOCUS AREAS Writing, open-mindedness, acceptance, communication, spontaneity, education, nostalgia, indulgence, and finality. HEADS UP Happy New Moon in Gemini! This month’s Moon is considered Super, meaning that it will be within its closest approach to Earth. This indicates there is a lot of energy being moved. People living along the ocean shorelines often take notice of the wide-ranging tides in the few days after a supermoon as the difference in high and low is particularly accentuated. This is timely because next month’s New Moon starts a busy eclipse season making this month’s cycle perfect for putting an end to some major aspects of our lives in preparation for upcoming transformational eclipse energy. Sometimes we need just a little extra push of energy from the moon’s close fly-by to help jolt us over whatever holds us back. One big driver of holding on to patterns that no longer serve us is our family and cultural upbringing. Ancestry will be highlighted as where you come from and the experiences you had in the past come up for review as you consider what makes up YOU. Long-held or conditioned perceptions can finally be shattered. There are always new angles and ways to look at things. Philosopher Wayne Dyer said “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” To start, take some time this next cycle to recover from our auto-pilot busy way of life. Consider ways to live simpler, increase your joy, obtain more rest, and have light-hearted attitude to any challenging inter-personal issues. Then begin to notice how our attitudes begin to change with it. This New Moon can bring out untrustworthy behavior. Be ready for heightened emotions within yourself and others. Allow these emotions to have their space, just begin to place boundaries on them. Everyone is fighting some battle, no matter what echelon of life they live in. Gemini energy can help us choose compassion over conflict. With courage, it really can be that simple. Compassion stems from this basic idea that we all are fighting something internally. Gemini brings out this primal component of the human condition — we all suffer in some capacity. I have come to learn that it’s alright to go through pain and feel our way through it as long as we don’t get stuck there. This time around if you feel the beginnings of wallowing, be proactive and process the feelings instead of pulling the victim card (the easier way out). This is how we begin to place boundary lines around the emotions that rule us. Gemini’s energy this month will help us navigate these complicated emotional waters if we get on our boat and make the journey. The Gemini energy this month also reminds me of the message behind the 10 of Swords tarot card. There is no turning back from the fatal wounds of the 10 swords — there is no hope from that kind of situation. A bitter-end sometimes must, and do, occur. Gemini’s energy continues to help us release things from our past that no longer serve a purpose. Some situations are not meant to be revived and some patterns and behaviors are not meant to be relived. Think about what in your life you’ve been fighting a losing battle against? Maybe it’s time to surrender? After a time of healing from the grief, hope is restored — a new direction born out of ruin and despair. This duality is represented by Gemini’s twins, the good and the bad, the yin and the yang, our conscious and the subconscious, the dead and the alive, hope and despair, old and new. Without one, we cannot see, understand, or appreciate the other. On a lighter note, this Gemini New Moon brings with it the ability to tap into the collective consciousness easier and obtain psychic connections. Become attuned to your experiences at a deeper level and begin to see what the Universe has in store for you. Set intentions for new beginnings wherever they feel right and get ready to watch them manifest during the upcoming eclipse season. As always, a drop of wisdom - be willing to let things fall into place instead of forcing.

WORD FOR THE MONTH Healing FOCUS AREAS Order, practicality, integrity, adjustments, habits, adapting, details, truth, nostalgia, and flexibility. HEADS UP Happy New Moon in Virgo! This month continues the work that began with the total solar eclipse last month. Continued minor adjustments are being made as we chip away towards our long-term goals. Take pride in all of the little accomplishments along the way, yet be prepared to do more. There is some chaotic energy with this new cycle as we begin the healing process by looking at our pain right in the face. It is time to face our stuff and what we are carrying around. By doing so we can finally begin healing. Without this crucial step of conscious head on awareness, wounds will not begin to heal. Anything unresolved within our energy field will keep manifesting itself until then. This month we may become more aware of what our deepest wounds are in preparation for necessary healing. Sometimes things in our lives simply cannot change until we fixate on them. Patterns will continue and the same painful scenarios will manifest again and again. This month, take notice where that stuck energy is present within you. This Virgo New Moon will guide us on this healing journey. All you have to do is make it a priority. Virgo energy is about caring and healing of the mind, body, and soul. If you meditate, imagine a purple flame transforming all your wounds. Ask the purple flame to transmute anything you wish to change or eliminate from your life. The Law of the Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be destroyed, only changed. The purpose of the purple flame is for transformation of whatever unhealthy lingering energy needs changing. Beyond the emotional, physical, and spiritual healing, an environmental purging of our house, closet, files, car, can be beneficial with this month’s Virgo energy as well. This is because this month’s New Moon also coincides with the equinox, which is one of two times a year that our days and nights are equal in length. We are switching gears and headed in a new direction after a brief moment of balance. Tap into the joys of being in balance, but be ready to shift quickly out of it in the other direction. Circumstances are dramatically changing, both for the best and worse. By purging and cleaning our internal and outer spaces, we can be ready to receive new energy with this shift of directions. Family and ancestry is important this cycle, as nostalgia creeps in. What’s incoming may not be pleasant as some understand on a deep level how unfair life can be and have souls that are damaged as a result. It can be very easy to fall victim to life circumstances. What has been passed along to you? What genes, talents, habits, beliefs do you store within your psyche? Where is it that you feel a victim? Where are you in denial? It is a time to do a realistic self-check-in of our lives and own up to where we are at and get out of victim mode. No more bypassing, but instead, full throttle ahead through the bricks that form the walls. Channel any nervous energy that comes up during this process towards one of love and compassion for yourself and others. Unexpected circumstances can change our outlook, behaviors, plans, and more. Pay attention to what is currently in disruption in your life. This is what is being renewed. Let it be. Become flexible to the changes that have come, as more are coming. Right now is the time to be adaptable. This is just the beginning of your transformation that began with the eclipse last month. As always, a drop of wisdom - source your powers from the inner spirit and not the outwardly world that is currently in turmoil from these transitional times we are in. With light and love, Kat Lahr HOW TO MAKE A NEW MOON LIST: Gather paper and a pen, pencil, marker or other type of writing utensil. Review the focus areas for this month and begin to think about how they apply to your personal and professional life. Write a list of what your hopes, dreams, goals, priorities, wishes, and prayers are for that moment. Typically no more than 10 is recommended. Be very specific, or extremely vague. Review last month’s list and revise them on this month’s list, if necessary. Place your notes somewhere safe and special to you. Some tape them to a window, under a lit candle, or leave them in their notebooks on their desks. Create the space that works for you. Leave it there all month until the next New Moon. Allow and have faith in the power of inter-connectedness in our universe to manifest your list. -- KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU WANT -- Join my New Moon Club to get this reminder every month. |
