Aries & Aries Rising

If there was ever a time to appreciate my resources, it is now. If there was ever a time to experiment with what I have at my disposal, it is now. If there was ever a time to give up on traditionally age-appropriate material milestones, it is now.

Money is one of the greatest scams of all.

With this New Moon, I allow myself to dream up a life that puts the regeneration of my resources before the overspending of them. My communities are goldmines to appreciate. Each time I am stuck on a problem I remember to seek out the collective intelligence of the groups I trust and admire. Each time I am feeling distant and alone in my desperation, I remember to tell someone. Each time I think that I have to get through this solo, I miss the point. When I offer my problems up to the gods of good friends, I am also offering them the ability to put their resources to work. We all want to feel useful. We all yearn to feel connected. We all want to know that what we have is what others need. I know that the more available I make myself to help and be helped, the more I get to understand the tools I have at my disposal and how truly valuable they really are.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

I owe it to myself to see what it means to thrive. I gently dismantle the fear of being alone. I thoroughly inspect feelings of unworthiness. I firmly disrupt any ideas that keep me isolated in shame. Connection is what counts. Care is the currency I deal in. Tending to my needs builds a bond with myself that cannot be broken.

I am learning what it's like to be on my own side. I am studying what it means to accompany myself through the ups and downs of this world rather than reaching, seeking, and searching for something outside of me. The cure for my loneliness contains ample doses of my own compassion. The cure for not having achieved, attracted, or attained what I want is wanting to be with myself in this moment, no matter what.

With this New Moon, I remember to be mine again.

I remember the perfection of this connection. I remember that in order to truly be present for others I have to want myself like my life depends on it. With this New Moon, I set my altar with the finest of flowers, the sweetest of offerings, and the clearest of intentions to love myself as is. No exceptions.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

When in doubt, I'll go deeper. When I grow restless, I'll practice stillness. When I start seeking out the approval of others, I'll come back to myself.

I use this time to watch how I tend to reach for distractions when I am afraid of feeling an emotion. I use this time to get more intimate with my needs, nuances, and hard to reach places. I use this time to seek out the pleasures and joys I was previously too busy to enjoy.

As the world goes through extraordinary changes, unexpected emotions rise to the surface. What I witness on a collective level impacts me on a personal one. I know that there is a mirroring happening. I know that when life ceases to exist in the same ways externally, it's time to get more familiar with how it is occurring internally.

This moment is its own kind of therapy.

The word therapy comes from the Greek word therapeia meaning "healing; awaiting on, service". These quiet moments can be spent waiting on the parts of myself and life that never get the benefit of my time and attention. These days can be spent in service of what has suffered from my own neglect. These days can be spent but never refunded, so I make sure to spend them with intention.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

Admitting loneliness is not only essential in times like these, but revolutionary always. I know that the world doesn't leave much space for emotional well-being. I know that the world expects me to say "I'm good" whether or not I am. I know that the world is mostly untrained to receive an honest answer, so I begin by receiving my own.

Each time I'm honest about feeling disconnected, untethered, unsure, or insecure, I become a better friend to myself. Each time I can hold my loneliness with compassion, I am less alone in the world. Each time I can be honest with others, I open up space for them to be honest with me.

I know that the shame that often accompanies loneliness can act like a shroud around me, furthering the distance between myself and others. I know that shame will try to convince me that I should never reach out, be honest, or open about what I harbor.

This kind of fearful feedback loop can only be interrupted when I admit what's underneath it all: I need to love and be loved and that is the most beautiful and human thing about me.

Leo & Leo Rising

If it doesn't have the well-being of all involved at its core, it's not worth trying to achieve. If it doesn't have healing at its center, it isn't a room that I am trying to work. If it doesn't have care woven into the fibers of its being, I am not about to become part of its tapestry.

If this moment has revealed anything, it has revealed what needs priority and what needs to be put aside. It's not my job to heal the whole world, but it's my duty to remember that I am a fraction of it. What I do here has an impact. What I commit to matters. The quality of presence that I bring to each aspect of my career is more important than the hours I spend hunched over my laptop, a problem, or a goal. Taking care of myself is part of taking care of my profession.

To endure the storms of life, I have to know my center and learn how to stay there. Challenges will always find me, but the more closely I am aligned with myself, the less I'll get caught up in everyone else.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

I know that our world is rearranged. Right is wrong. Up is down. One way or another, greed will always propagate the myth that there isn't enough to share with the masses.

I know that I need to work constantly at deconstructing the bias I have been taught to internalize. I can be confident that the distortions that impact my way of viewing my options, myself, and the world around me will be revealed to me if I seek them, but stay buried deep in me if I don't. I know that disrupting the harm I have been taught to perpetuate is life-long work and that nothing is more important when considering how to change the world.

I know that nothing interrupts injustice faster than care, kindness, and consideration, so I apply ample amounts of it to everything I do, as radically as possible, as often as I remember, and with as much persistence as I can apply, especially towards myself.

I grant myself the kind of understanding that I would my loved ones. I know that the world can't rush towards a solution and neither can I. The future has always been uncertain so I will practice what I know works for me presently.

Libra & Libra Rising

The only way to interrupt a nightmare is to comfort myself with the truth. The only way to interrupt a harmful belief is to meet it with a kindness so enveloping that it becomes protection. The only way to outgrow a bad habit is to focus on what feels affirming.

When I care enough about my own well-being, I refuse to be in situations that do not.

Along the way of learning this I will forget, and then remember. I'll get it right and then wrong. I'll feel strong and less than capable, ashamed and unstoppable, together and coming apart at the seams. I'll keep roaming around the same lessons until I've had enough practice with them, and even then I'll pay them a visit every once in a while.

With this New Moon, I commit to having patience with myself. I believe that my timing is perfect even if I sometimes forget to trust it. I believe that my healing is happening even if it's often occuring underground. I believe that I am deserving of the love and kindness that I show others even if I sometimes don't know how to show myself such kindness.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

There is no shortcut to intimacy with others when I don't first have it with myself. There is no remedy for my loneliness if I'm not my best friend first. There is no solving the puzzle of being human without knowing my love fits me perfectly.

I may be fooled into thinking that my heartbreak can be cured solely from the outside in, but until I begin to love myself from the inside out, I will hunger for a meal that is nowhere to be found. There is no love that can fill me if it's not also my own.

With this New Moon, I remind myself that while there is no mythical person that will make everything alright for me, there are relationships that will help to remind me what has always been perfect about me. There are people whose love is so fierce it startles me to love with greater commitment. There are people whose love is so steady, it settles what is restless within me. There are people whose love is so free, it liberates my ability to unleash my own. With this New Moon, I make space for those kinds of confidants while I continue to learn how to be my own.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

With this New Moon, I renew my commitment to changing the game of personal gain into one of mutual abundance. I commit to challenging any feelings of scarcity by aligning myself with the generative solutions that nature endlessly comes up with. I know that it's almost impossible not to feel isolated in a society that pits people against each other for profit. My work is to dismantle my loneliness by dismantling the systems that thrive from it. Feelings of lack and worthlessness are an affront to my natural way of being.

I came here knowing I was whole and I will leave here with full memory of it.

I know that creating professional communities that share resources is the greatest asset building coalition that I can be a part of. I know that celebrating collective wins is what I want to be manifesting. I know that the reservoirs of joy are only this deep when we are collectively celebrated. I know that the party goes on all night when instead of making work a place of penance, it's known by all as a place of soulful prosperity.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

If the world had its way, I would think I was imperfect, incomplete, and inexplicably flawed. If the world had its way, I would shrink in shame, wither in self-rejection, and collapse under its unjust examination. If the world had its way, I would stay quiet, stay in line, and stay tethered to its expectations of me.

With this New Moon, I promise to not mistake my wildness for an unconscionable flaw, my creative energy for a threat to my well-being, or my desire for a weapon of my own demise. With this New Moon, I will be more mindful of the ways in which I might sell myself short, mistrust my passion, or discredit the sacred act of being playful.

The creative projects that I begin with this New Moon have a mark of disruptive ingenuity within them. I know that their eventual entrance into the world depends on my current ability to care for, protect, and serve them. When I feel like rejecting my best efforts, I'll remember to rest, ask a trusted friend, set my sights on something inspiring, or find any amount of pleasure that is available. The muses love it when I take a kindness break.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

I forgive myself. For whatever I didn't know how to do. For whatever fate I kept tempting. For whatever reasons I caused harm to myself and others. If I don't, I will never grow and know healing. I refuse to be held hostage by the shame of my past. It won't help me make amends. It won't help me do better. It won't help me grow.

I am here to find out how far and wide I can reach. Beyond family trees and in honor of them, it's my work to see what orchards can be cultivated from the gifts I have been passed down.

With this New Moon, I make it my business to care for myself with consistency. I interrupt feelings of being undeserving of such attention. I disrupt any complacency I feel about meeting my own needs and investigate what is underneath such sentiments. I know that under indifference there usually lies a lot of unconscious emotion. Without rushing, pushing, or prodding myself to figure it out, I work with this New Moon to be gently curious, mindfully meddling, and persistently playful about how best to build a life for myself that is grounding, generous and kind.

Pisces & Pisces Rising

The most radical statement I can make is one of sincere care. Whether I am talking about myself, my loved ones, my world, or my dreams for the future, I speak with a deep and pervasive desire for the well-being of all involved. I know that this will catch the attention of those that share the same sentiments and I am seeking out those that are in this flow.

I refuse to be made to feel weak because I want to tend to what is essential to our global well-being. I refuse to get confused about the fact that my ability to be vulnerable is one of my greatest strengths. I will never be made to feel embarrassed about being able to feel in a world that would rather I go numb. What hurts in the world hurts me too. What heals in the world heals me too. What supports the greatest diversity supports the entirety of me.

I work with this New Moon to rekindle my commitment to the routines that nourish me on every level, the friendships that connect me back to myself, and the words of affirmation that help me stay on track with a little humor and a lot of humility.
