As the Aries full moon rises, it invites us to embrace the energy of intensity swirling around us. This lunation may bring feelings of tension and the urge to release pent-up emotions. It’s a perfect time to confront what’s been bubbling beneath the surface and create space for new beginnings.

Observe all the change happening around you and embrace it within.

This full moon is asking you to be brave, bold, and authentic. Your dreams are within reach, and now is the time to go after them with everything you’ve got. Embrace the changes coming your way and trust that they are leading you toward the life you’ve always wanted. ~ Alex Myles

To help you navigate this transformative period, call on the healing power of bloodstone to partner with the vibrant energy of the Aries full moon.

Bloodstone is known for its ability to enhance vitality and freshness, making it a perfect companion during this time of emotional release. 

Emotionally, this Full Moon can feel like a rollercoaster. Aries’ fiery energy may stir up tension, especially if you’ve been bottling things up. Let yourself feel these emotions, but don’t let them control you. This is also a time for deep emotional healing. 

The Full Moon shines a light on the areas where we need to grow and release old wounds. It’s time to forgive yourself, let go of past hurts, and move forward into a more empowered version of yourself.

Ultimately, this full supermoon in Aries is a powerful reminder that you are in control of your life. It’s time to release any fears or doubts that have been holding you back and step into your power. 

The Universe is supporting you, but you have to be willing to take that first step. Trust that everything is happening for your highest good, even if it feels challenging right now.

Now is the time to harness the energy of this moon and work through those difficulties. Bloodstone holds the power to empower our journey, helping to clear the way for honesty and authenticity.

Embrace the energy of the Aries full moon and be guided towards clarity and courage to connect with our inner strength.

May is a month charged with electric energy and intensified by the influence of Mercury and Pluto in retrograde. We have the opportunity to embark on a powerful journey of self-discovery and transformation. 

This period encourages us to examine our hidden strengths and weaknesses and confront our deepest fears. May is the perfect time to unleash our inner adventurer, boldly explore new opportunities, and deepen our understanding of ourselves and our place in the Universe.

May’s electric energy sparks a desire within us to break free from the familiar and take daring leaps. Fueled by the excitement of adventure, we can harness this energy to broaden our horizons, explore new territories, and welcome transformative changes.

The 9:9 energy portal on September 9 was fierce and focused on areas of our life where changes that need to be made. No time to excuse people in our lives that are troublesome or pretend that all is well when it isn’t.

This energy takes no hostages and is quite fierce and forceful. It is highly recommended that we ride this energy and drive the momentum in the coming weeks.

LEO | mysterious & empowered feminine

The Sun has just moved into Leo and the full moon in the sign of Aquarius. This full moon carries healing energy thanks to the presence of the asteroid Chariklo.

This healing energy is spiritual in nature, guiding us to reconnect with the love that is our soul and the wholeness that is our spirit. Work with this beautiful healing energy through some chakra clearing for the Aquarius Full Moon. 

Leo has a reputation for being self-focused, but this year you will feel as if the self you've so carefully constructed is being unraveled. The people you feel closest to will offer you reflections about who you are, and the truth may bring about a shift of radical proportions.

New people will come into your life to assist you in uncovering more of your uniqueness and even eccentricities. Allow yourself to become a wilder, stranger version of yourself.

2020 midyear boon

This July full moon has many different names across the world. It's called the Buck Moon, Thunder Moon, Hay Moon, Mead Moon and Ripe Corn Moon.

Buddhists, Hindus and Jains traditionally celebrate Guru Purnima as a day of grace and new possibilities dedicated to all spiritual and academic teachers.

Halfway through 2020 the world is still scrambling to salvage what we can of our toxic lives and poisoned planet. The pandemic, lack of clarity, corrupt politicians, failing economies, and bad government and management reflect clearly all that is broken in our systems and human behavior. 

I know how it feels like to let go of everything that does not serve me and make room for the new.

I know how it feels like to fill my mind with loving, life-affirming visions and re-align

with my most optimum future to better serve all of humanity.

I know how it feels like to surround myself with people that are

inspiring, elevating, and know how to have fun and have my back.

I know how it feels like to experience infinite fulfillment and joy. ~ Rosan Cruz/Mataji

Extreme choice and radical change are forced on us now after years of refusing to solve many escalating and growing concerns. Left with little choice maybe we can now collaborate and build community as we are intended to do.

May light and love prevail in honor and compassion for all.

sturgeon full moon | August 15

The Open Center in New York City offers monthly Full Moon Circles that I have been meaning to join since I first attended a certificate course in sound healing. 

The session I finally attended was officiated by Olivia Olkowski, an Open Center graduate and facilitator. Olivia is a certified Shaman and Curandera of the ancient Mayan healing lineage.

At summer’s peak our large group gathered in the main hall to explore the element of Fire, plant medicine, and areas of the heart.

We were caringly guided through ritual and shamanic journey work to unravel energies within ourselves that were revealed, restored and/or released. Leading us ever towards their purpose in our lives.

Together we collaborated to create a sacred space where we let go of these things that have ripened with the aid of the waning full moon. What no longer served was released - unburdening us on our true path.

Olivia possesses a sweet nurturing energy nourished by her close affinity with Pachamama. This was counterbalanced by her strong and direct condor totem energy. 

The two shamanic journeys she guided us through had us traveling incredulous worlds to reveal answers to our questions and imbue our prayers with loving power. 

For those who were unable to attend we encourage you to clear your schedule and make the time to come by soon.
