I’m so grateful for those of you who read my LoveLetter, and I’m sure if you’re with me, you are big dreamers also!
The new moon is in Libra, which is all about balance and new beginnings. Yet with Mars and Mercury in retrograde until November, there is a feeling of chaos, conflict, and turmoil that you might be feeling. Instead of dreading it, you can use this time to go inwards, listen, and deepen your self-love practices.
Lucky for us, the festival of Navaratri coincides with this particular new moon. Literally translated, nava (nine) and ratri (night), celebrates and honors the divine feminine in the form of three Goddesses:
Durga:
The destroyer of impurities, vices, and negativity.
Lakshmi:
The giver of spiritual wealth, love, and abundance in all it’s forms.
Saraswati:
The goddess of wisdom, all the creative arts, Yoga, and healing.
So, as I pondered what to write about this new moon with everything going on in the world, the election in the United States, and everything we have been through this year, I thought it would be a good time to harness all of this energy to awaken the dreamer inside.
The good news is that we are shifting into the Aquarian age on the Solstice this December. This is a major shift in humanity for innovation, liberation, respect for life, abundance for all, and elevation in planetary and human consciousness.
So let’s wipe the dust off those dreams, let go of what no longer serves us, merge our mind, soul, and heart, and blaze a new trail for ourselves and for Humanity. All of us here on the planet now are heroes and heroines, and it’s time to step into that role more than ever.
The first half of my SoulFire Pilgrimage around the world I was able to do much more service work, and then the pandemic hit. I retreated back into my healing cave, and focused on supporting the women in my mentorship group who had to quickly pivot and learn how to make an income from their own homes. Giving women wings, and watching them blossom and thrive is one of my favorite things, and I realize it’s time for me to do the same.
There is a new you being born. A new me. It’s scary, but exciting. As you surrender what no longer works and open to new possibilities, may I ask:
What are your soul desires?
What lights you up?
What talents and gifts do you have that can be a blessing for humanity?
What is your dream for this new world, and what is your part in it?
I hope you enjoy my retrograde and Navaratri tips below, and please remember to take some time each day for practices that can bring you balance, peace, and consciousness as you meet this brave new you and new world unfolding each moment.
Withyou
