New Moon Virgo.

New Moon Virgo.


Me and Hermine…

New Moon in Virgo came yesterday. It came with a hurricane…and a solar eclipse. This one was especially heart opening for me. What do you do when the world is at your feet and you feel it crumbling beneath you? What do you do when what you thought was perfection made it hard to see the forest for the trees?

You set yourself free.

     “The Virgin is an image of purity. Nothing has possessed her. She is attached to nothing, wants nothing, fears nothing. Nothing holds her. She is free, unbound by any earthly drama.

     Yet she is here, on the earth. What does the world offer one who seeks nothing but perfection? What can she do? She waits, aloof as the Madonna. She works on herself. And to pass the time, she helps where she can.” – Steven Forrest from The Inner Sky

Love & Moonlight,

Kelly

New Moon in Leo.

“Les Lis” by Louis Icart

New Moon in Leo.

Been needing a new moon…been waiting on this one. For tonight, while the moon AND sun are in Leo, take time to revisit your personal manifesto. Who are you? What are you here for? NOTHING should be holding you back from being the “YOU” you were meant to be. But I get it…sometimes it isn’t that easy. Sometimes its REALLY hard to do YOU. Sometimes it’s really hard to crack open AND SHINE. But I can assure you…those are just temporary fears. Temporary limiting thoughts. So how do you get passed all that to transcend into YOU…?

Start by writing it down. Write it down again, again, and again. Tap into the essence of the Leo. Let your insides burst with light…burst with fire…for goodness sake, LEO is ruled by the SUN and is a fire sign…shine, shine, shine…

KINDLE the light within you and let it warm you. KINDLE your desires FIRST and then everything else that you do will come from a place of love. Dishes? HA…how about playing with your essential oils first because it makes you happy….and then while you’ve got that smile on your face from wafting some patchouli aroma up your nose…dishes will seem a little less depressing.

Tap into your inner Lioness or Lion and ROAR it out. If you got some negativity to release ROAR it out. You don’t need it anymore…it has already done its job. You’re transcending. Let go of the things you don’t need to make room for what you do need.

Then when you have written it down, loved & loved some more, felt pain & let it go…FIND COURAGE. Because THAT is the hardest part of all. You know what you want….you know what you need….you’ve written it down, you’ve released what you don’t need anymore….NOW TAKE THE COURAGE OF THE LEO TO STEP INTO THE LIGHT. It is your time to shine. Time is NOW.

Love & Moonlight,

Kelly

PS. I picked this image for personal reasons…I myself have a hard time being the ME I want to be. Les Lis translates to The Lilies…for me this is symbolic in the way that it means purity, modesty, mercy, femininity, and the souls restored innocence.

PSS. I’m currently revising my personal manifesto…completely peppered with femininity.

PSSS. MAKE AN INTENTON TONIGHT….mine is to FIND ME, DO ME, AND BE ME.

 

New Moon in Cancer with my 17th of 100 Days of Affirmation.

New Moon in Cancer // BUT FIRST from a year ago… 

It has been a whole year since I attempted my first Personal Manifesto. After looking back at last years July New Moon post I have gotten inspired to REFLECT and TWEAK my living personal manifesto. You can find MY WARM UP QUESTIONS HERE and HERE and then my PERSONAL MANIFESTO HERE from last year.

If you are inspired to write one yourself check out last years blog entry on creating a personal manifesto HERE!!

ALRIGHT…so let’s reflect for two secs…and then we will get to the MOON!

Hum…I’ve lived up to it better than I thought I would. I have been doing yoga nearly everyday with an unlimited yoga membership…I have started doing me by way of making what I want to eat when I want to eat. I’ve put love first in everything that I do. I PASSED my pediatric echo registry ON THE FIRST TRY! I have been hit and miss on the writing “everyday” and the blogging BUT I did start a little fiction story last October….I’m working on it occasionally…I should really reserve time to it everyday…but you know, LIFE. I haven’t painted or drawn much…BUT I PLAN to start again on my trip to the mountains next week. Now that I have passed my registry I don’t have anything to worry about so art and writing should come more freely. FREEDOM….aaah that. Yeeah, I’m still working on that. Told you that one was the hardest…although I do feel like I am more free the more I do me….so there is that.

NOW ON TO THE NEW MOON!

The moon is in Cancer, the Crab, tonight…time for a new beginning and a new intention. Steven Forrest had the perfect analogy to this Zodical Sign in his book The Inner Sky…he talked about how the Crab must build a shell to survive. Within the Crab’s shell is where the transformative work takes place. It is where you grow. Where you do the internal work. Once you’ve nurtured yourself…and grown too big to fit in your old shell…you must shed the old for the new. Molting. Shed. NEW.

Which made me think about our structure…our bones…they are constantly changing….every seven years we have a new set of bones. We are constantly changing…root down and flow with that.

So tonight….think about internal change. Have you been doing the internal work? Have you lived up to your manifesto? Have you served yourself good? Make it an intention to do that. For the next couple of days think about your intention and maybe tweak an old personal manifesto or write a new one!

Cancer Key Words:

Water: “I am rooted, but I FLOW.” -Virginia Woolf

Nurture: Cancer is like a nurturing Mother…just be careful not to be TOO overbearing.

Internal Work: That means…listen to what your soul has to say and do the internal work to connect to your soul. Pray. Connect to God. Connect. Connect. Connect.

Personal Manifesto: WRITE ONE! There is no time limit…just answer the warm up questions HERE if anything!

Love & Moonlight,

Kelly

PS. “I am rooted, but I flow.” -Virginia Woolf was my 17 of 100 Days of Affirmation entry!

 

 

 

New Moon in Gemini.

New Moon in Gemini.

Everyone should have a Gemini in their life. I have a strong affection towards this sign…considering it shares the same ruling planet Mercury (the communication planet) as my Sun Sign Virgo. Something about the intellectual side of the Gemini is stimulating…both Gemini and Virgo are just that…intellectual. In fact they are the only two signs in the Zodical Wheel that share the same ruling planet…all other signs don’t share a planet. 

To add, Gemini’s have a very charismatic and charming quality to them. They are the friend of all friends and they are always there for you if you need them. 

They are always thirsting for knowledge and may have a hard time sitting still. They like adventure and a change of scenery quite frequently. You might even have a hard time keeping up with a Gemini. Gemini’s also have the gift of gab and can be very talkative…Some may even say scatterbrained as they always seem to have multiple projects going at one time. 

TO THE MOON…

Tonight and for the next few days you may feel like you have a lot to say. You and everyone around you might be seeking stimulating conversations. Thanks Gemini. Take care with your words and make a conscious effort to LISTEN as well. It’s easy getting carried away with words…just remember that a conversation has two people (or more) so take care to LISTEN as well. What is that saying again?

“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.” – Stephen R. Covey

Read that quote…and take care with how you listen. Be mindful in your listening. Sometimes just listening is enough…no reply needed. 

Tonight is a good night to set an intention. Or start something new. Tonight is a new beginning. 

For me…I want to radiate with love, grace, and adventure. I want to write more and let my stories come to life. I want to be a friend of all friends. I want to be a confidant and sounding board. I want to be mindful in all my actions. 

Sarah just wants a taco. 

Love & Moonlight, 

Kelly

PS. Gemini’s know how to have a good time…they can bring you out of your shell and if you pay attention you might just find the adventurer within you.

PSS. Shout out to Grandpa Skandamis…one of the most charming Gemini’s I’ve ever known! Your loving nature is what I aspire to have and radiate. You are an inspiration. I love you!

New Moon Intention….

Change. 

This golden winged dragonfly decided to show up today. On a new moon. In my yard. There is so much that needs to be said that has been left unsaid. 

Change.

I danced with it for a while…and then it flew away. What was it trying to tell me? What is it that I need to hear?

Change.

I suppose I’m a reckless big hearted woman…deaf to her own cry…seeking what is seeking me…yet lost in translation. 

Change. 

Will I ever uncover what is covering me?

Pisces New Moon Intention.

Pisces New Moon…

This new moon has been crazy for me…I feel like the Universe, God, Mother Earth, and Lady Moon are really up to something here! I had planned on taking an exam later this year…but recently started talking with my co-workers about the possibility of taking it sooner. Last night I decided to just check to see if I still could…and sure enough I still had time to sign up for this spring. AND WOULD YOU BELIEVE…the cut off date to sign up was TODAY! Of all days. On a New Moon. With a Solar Eclipse. Do you have chills yet? Because I did. Well I bit the bullet and applied to take the exam and sent off all my documents in the mail today! HOT MAIL to be exact! 🙂 

So for my new moon intention:

I trust that I have the confidence and knowledge I need to prepare for and pass the exam. I believe and intend to COME AS I AM…and be the best Kelly Suzanne there is. I want to tap into my wild woman. My naturalistic being. I want to indulge in the four elements…earth, water, air, and FIRE. I also want to make a morning ritual.

Here are three ideas for some new moon intentions.

  • Set an intention to start a morning ritual. It could be as simple as sitting for 5-10 minutes meditating before you go out into the world. It could be drinking a whole glass of water first thing when you wake up…maybe even add a little lemon. Or try some sun salutations and STRETCH while you greet the sun.
  • Set an intention to reawaken your inner wild woman…or man. Focus on the four elements. You are a human being that NEEDS all four elements to survive. You need the Earth for solid food…try eating more organic food. Try to stop eating processed foods and feel how great it is to eat fresh organic foods and taste all the vitamins and electrons that come from them. You need water…real fresh water. Try some spring water…it comes from natural springs. BREATHE. Breathe in fresh air. Get outside. And get out in the SUN…the sun provides you with vitamins you need! Also try to avoid using too much artificial lighting. Use natural lighting. Go to bed when the sun goes down and let your body produce melatonin…a natural cancer fighter.
  • COME AS YOU ARE. Find the you that you want to be. And just be you. Set an intention to be you…and to not care or bend to please anyone else. You have the power to live the life you want. If you want to do yoga…do it. If you like wearing makeup…wear it. If it makes you feel good…why not? How about writing a personal manifesto…and live up to it!

Here are some key words for the Pisces New Moon to think about:

Earth

Water

Air

Fire

New beginning 

Plant seeds 

Spring 

Endings with Beginnings

I hope that your new moon intention and night are all that you have intended. Happy International Women’s Day to all the lady friends!

Love & Moonlight,

Kelly

PS. Pisces and Virgo are the perfect balance to dream big and plan hard.

The Pisces New Moon…

is on its way…and this one is going to be a big one! This new moon is going to be backed by a solar eclipse. If you ever thought about setting intentions, now is a good time to do it! Especially since there will be a solar eclipse… 

Most of us won’t be able to see the solar eclipse in the USA, unless you live in Hawaii…but even then only a partial solar eclipse will be visible. Even Alaska might get to see a tiny bit of it. Those who live in Indonesia are in for a treat! Other regions of the world like South & East Asia, North & West Australia, the Idian and Pacific Oceans will also get to see at least part of the eclipse. 

So what does that mean? Well, a solar eclipse happens when the moon passes in-between the Earth and the Sun blocking the sunlight temporarily…a perfect alignment. It creates the appearance of a fiery ring around the moons shadow. Pretty intense. AND something you shouldn’t look at with your bare eyes…google how to look at a solar eclipse!

ON TO THE MOON….

In two days the PISCES NEW MOON will be here in full affect with a solar eclipse to amp it up! March 8th…so mark your calendar! And start prepping for what you’d like to manifest in your life… Prepare for setting an intention to live the life you want to live! 

PISCES is one of my favorite zodiacal signs…after all I am a PISCES rising! So you can imagine how giddy I am about this one! Also one of my sweet echo tech co-workers is a Pisces Sun Sign…so I have an affection for this sign! Hey Betsy!

Pisces brings dreams. If you have dreams…make them come true. Pisces go with the flow…Pisces ALSO have the ability to swim against the current to get what they need. Pisces is also the end of the zodiacal wheel…meaning this could be the end of a phase in your life… followed by rebirth. Maybe a spiritual rebirth. Emotional rebirth. Soul rebirth. No matter what kind of rebirth you need to go through…this new moon is a perfect time to set the intention to GROW or rise from the ashes like a Phoenix. Time to start a new beginning…with an EXTRA boost from that solar eclipse! FYI, if you also work with solar goals, this new moon  might be a great check in point or MOMENT to set a hard solar goal! 

So for the next couple days…think about what you have already intended in the past…THANK yourself for creating the life you want to live in…really THANK yourself…and slowly start to prepare your next new moon intention. You don’t have to set it yet…still feel into the one you set last new moon. And then come back here for some ideas and inspiration on setting your PISCES NEW MOON intention!

Love & Moonlight,

Kelly

Aquarius New Moon Intention Setting.

Aquarius New Moon Intention Setting Mood.

Tonight the moon is in Aquarius. The Water Carrier. I posted this image of a rain cloud I took today on the way home…Appropriate.

Today you may feel like you aren’t really in the mood for getting too emotional. In fact, you may be feeling the need for a nice and deep intellectual conversation. Or maybe even snuggling down to read a book. Today may just be about the brain…logic. Maybe you have recently been emotional…but today, take that break from emotions. Let the rain fall like nature intended and just decide to think clearly. Let reality and logic show you things. Things you may have been afraid to open your eyes to. Today use your brain…and give your heart a rest.

Meditating seems like a good way to just be. Even reading a really good book. For now, just let things be…set emotions aside…and make an intention for yourself that is going to open your life to the infinite possibilities. Because they are infinite.

Love & Moonlight,

Kelly
