This dramatic moon highlights the karmic path of the collective. This is prime time to bring things into completion and let go of all that holds us back from our highest.
Aries
Assess what’s truly valuable in your life especially when it comes to work. Over the past few years your relationship to work has certainly evolved. Reflect on what’s changed, and what no longer feels in alignment. You simply cannot repeat the past. You must embrace the unexpected. Give yourself permission to be a little less available than usual to create space for the whispers of your Soul to be heard. At the end of the month, a new chapter in your journey will be revealed. It will require you to leave behind an old identity.
Taurus
Sweet Taurus, let yourself indulge, luxuriate and be decadent in all the ways. You came here to show the rest of us that being in a body is the most divine gift. The ability to be embodied, is true spiritual excellence. You will have an abundance of creative ideas as the month progresses, and the stamina to bring these ideas to life. You may have to re-learn a hard lesson when it comes to work. It’s not a time to suppress your feelings. Your reap the rewards when you make tough decisions.
Gemini
You can achieve great things this month. When it comes to growing outwardly in the world, you may feel a contraction, but this is the time to truly persist, persist, persist. Create more than you consume. You have a vision and it is here to be realised. The biggest obstacle is your mindset. Use the first half of the month to observe your mental patterns and then you can create the shifts needed. There may be a lesson to learn around placing others on pedestals. Drop the desire for a guru and realise you are it!
Cancer
A time that feels sweet and warm when it comes to building community. You are being blessed with possibilities. New groups of people to connect with are all around you. Something that once felt foreign is welcoming you in. You can expect to learn a lot this month, from the very practical to the very esoteric. Old habits that you’ve clung to for safety are no longer available. You can see too clearly where you must change. You can feel it. Allow yourself to learn with humility and a determination that will set you on a path to success.
Leo
This month you will see how truly appreciated you are in the world. You may at times feel lonely, isolated and question whether anyone truly understands you. Your own self-applause must come before the approval of others. That true self acknowledgement unlocks the flow of recognition from the outside world. So commend yourself every time you notice you are living in integrity. Lessons around relationships will resurface and this attitude will really support whatever issues crop up. You might receive gifts, praise and acts of service from unexpected sources.
Virgo
You aren’t comfortable sitting still this month. Itchy feet may be prompting you to plan a holiday or enrol in a new course. You are hungry for mental stimulation and can expect to take more action in the world. Your actions may involve a significant other or impact a close relationship. When you put your mind to something and drop the perfectionistic tendencies, you can truly manifest incredible things for yourself and others. At the end of the month family matters may illuminate where you need to take brave action.
Libra
What can no longer be kept bottled up? If you feel you are dodging an inevitable truth, it’s time to give voice to it, to clear it, to set it free. Maybe this requires a good journalling session or a discussion with a trusted confidant. You will be amazed at how your body and health responds when you let go of energetic and emotional weight. If you feel like you are in a creative rut, take a pause and stay open to incredible possibilities opening up. Your gifts are worthy of recognition, so don’t settle for crowds that don’t appreciate them.
Scorpio
What is this season of life revealing to you in your relationships? Relationships truly provide the best container for growth and self examination. There will be moments to enjoy an incredible amount of love and adoration as well as moments to explore emotional triggers. Whatever is present and painful can be just as enriching as that which is pleasurable. You need to relinquish control and let yourself express truth. The Universe truly does have your back, when you surrender and allow that belief to settle into your bones.
Sagittarius
Your health and wellbeing is paramount. It is not a time to abandon your own needs and preferences. Be intentional with your time and self-care practices. When you act in alignment, you attract the correct dynamic in relationships. You will shed an old and over-worn identity at the end of the month so be prepared to embody this next level version of self. Change is your birthright, and you know better than anyone that a predictable road is not one worth traipsing. Set pure intentions, and the Universe will fill in the blanks.
Capricorn
You’ve been learning to let your hair down this year. How safe do you feel having fun? Is it becoming easier? When you are permitted to be messy, to break-down and to later break-through, you see that life doesn’t have to be so serious in order to provide immense growth. Your business ventures and future plans are given attention this month. When bumps arise, you can and will press on. It’s not with brute force, but a gentler, more trusting approach. You’ll be amazed at how your communication channel is cleared up.
Aquarius
You have likely experienced tension in your family dynamics this year, but there is profound growth to harness. You are undoubtedly maturing. These family relationships are viewed in a much sweeter light this month and you can expect a boost of confidence that will assist you in really owning your presence. If you feel swayed by multiple voices and channels, remember the time you spend with yourself and your inner child will give you the clearest guidance. It’s not the easiest year but one you will remember as pivotal.
Pisces
This month you get a peek into the beauty and bounty set to unfold in 2022. Your gifts are given attention. Your inner genius is in the light. Embrace this time and let yourself expand with nature. Communicate with those in your close community. Who do you consider your tribe? If these people haven’t materialised yet, write a list about them under the new moon as a manifestation practice. You will be drawn to create a solid and secure foundation for yourself as the month unfolds. Mindset creates a sturdy base.
