August New Moon Wisdom + Creative Ritual

---

As August comes to a close, a fiery new Moon in sidereal Leo occurs on the 30th at 04:38 am MT. Conjoining with four other planets in Leo, Moon conjuncts Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars. Sun, Moon and Mercury are all transiting through the powerful constellation of Magha at the time of the new Moon, which puts them in a gandanta- or change point. 

Magha nakshatra is considered a gandanta point- one of three in the zodiac. Gandantas are notorious for uprooting the psycho-emotional bodies, ushering in deep physiological change. This particular new Moon supports change on the Mental, Emotional and Physical body levels- so be prepared for a whole body overhaul in the days and weeks ahead. A whole body transformation is taking place and this will impact all areas of your life.

The constellation of Magha is ruled by Pitr, which is deeply connected to the ancestors. This new Moon, and the cycle ahead, brings support, insight and wisdom from the ancestors- so pay attention to the messages arriving and ask for their guidance. Magha is extremely powerful and bold. It asks you to step up, speak out, shine brighter and share your power. This is not a constellation that plays small.

In the cycle ahead, make some clear choices about how you are using your power. Are you frittering it away on distractions and excuses? Are you focusing on right action and your dharmic path? Is your souls purpose your main intention? Are you action steps aligned with your desires?

Get your priorities straight and don't waste time. The ancestors want you to align with dharma and they will be helping you get the support you need. The potential for a life upgrade is taking place right now. All you have to do is be willing to change and take more empowered, focused steps towards your dreams and inner wisdom.

Mercury moves to Leo August 26th joining Venus, Sun and Mars- all in a very tight conjunction. When a planet is within the 10 degree range of the Sun it becomes combust, or burnt. The current dynamic creates mental and physical body burns. Stay cool and use water as a resource for finding balance.

This month we need to watch for burn out- physically and mentally. The fire will be intensifying power, passion, force, masculine energy and motivation. Use your power mindfully and don't push or force- even though the temptation will be there.

This can also be a very potent time for taking big, impactful action steps towards your passion and purpose. There is immense power available to all of us right now. How do you want to use this power?!

Sun is our power source and he's transiting his favorite sign until mid September. This is your reminder to literally "make hay while the Sun shines."

What projects have you been putting off? What steps have you been avoiding on your dharmic path? Where have you been hiding or diminishing your power?!

Now is the time to step up! Step into your big energy, your inner power. Ask for more! Take a big leap towards your dreams! Up-level you life! Expand your vision! Stop playing small!

Your gifts and wisdom matter. Step up and share your dharmic path in bigger and bolder ways.

Creative Ritual

What does empowerment feel like? How do you feel this energy in your body? Use my Tapping Meditation below to support an increase in  your power. Then use this awareness to create an image and identify your needs. Take this surge of energy and channel it into powerful action steps!

Once you create your image of power, share it with us in the Embodied Moon FB group!


Step #1

How do you know if you are disempowered, disconnected from your inner source?

When your breath is short, body is tight and mind is running the show, you are likely disconnected from your inner wisdom and power.

This may present itself through emotional body reactions, mental stories that seem to be on repeat in your head, and physical body responses that constrict you, leaving you closed off to possibility, options, new choices.

Step #2

Create an image of what it feels like to be empowered, connected and feeling your inner strength. What colors, textures and images arrive? Using craypas, paints or pencils, create an image of your power. Create an image that expresses this feeling using colors, textures and shapes. Allow 20 minutes at minimum for this nourishment image. Title your image.

Step #3

Use your image to inspire a movement exploration. Let your body move in response to your image with the intention of "moving with your feelings". What feelings emerge for you during your dance? What awareness? Allow 5 to 10 minutes for this movement exploration. I encourage you to extend this time frame as you recycle this process.

Step #4

Harvesting. In your journal answer these questions:

I am, I want, I need, I sense, I feel, I imagine, I express

Where do I feel support in my life? Where do I need more support?
