Guess what lovelies? We have a new moon in Aquarius coming up this Wednesday the 18th! This whole last month has felt like a massive time of endings, only to be followed by new beginnings that seem weird or out of place. I feel like the lot of us have been wandering around, looking for anything familiar or something that gives us comfort. Well, wherever you are on your path, this new moon will meet you at your doorstep (nice change for once!) and help take you further towards your goals. You gotta be ready to step into the unknown though and that can be a scary prospect. One of the key understandings here is to anchor yourself in the Light; doing so to illuminate your shadow side and bring it into unity with your whole self–not to escape or deny who you fully are. There’s some powerful aspects at play here. If you pay attention and allow yourself to be seen by (unconditional) loving eyes, you give yourself a greater chance to heal what you perceive to be wrong with you. Your shadow side is there to remind you that everyone you encounter is a mixture of light and shadow; NO ONE is without a shadow side. It’s what you do with your shadow that side that defines you–not how you ignore or hide it. Your shadow side is there to remind you to be compassionate towards others; that you’ve been in a dark place so you understand and can give support. Take a second today and face yourself in a mirror. What do you see? What is the most beautiful thing about you? How has your shadow side contributed to your beauty? Be thankful for all aspects of yourself. Face your shadow self and tell her/him that you’re thankful for all they’ve taught you, and that you now join them with your light side to be the whole, powerful, loving person that you’ve always been.

Go ahead and pick a card from above. You can pick one or you can pick them all. The stone you see in the picture above is sesame jasper. Kiwi/Sesame Jasper stone facilitates shamanic journeys and recalls dreams. It absorbs negative energy and gives protection; it will cleanse and aligns the chakras and the aura, which in turn balances yin and yang. It is a stone that is very good for electromagnetic and environmental pollution. You can find more info on sesame jasper here.

If you chose card #1: Your message this week is that it’s time to let go old the old and worn out so that the new can come in. Your card goes on to say that by drawing this card, your alerted to the fact that you need to make room for the new by letting go of the old. First, let go emotionally and intellectually. In other words, “quit” or “say goodbye” in your mind and heart. Once you do this, the physical letting-go will happen naturally, in a peaceful and harmonious way. Ask Heaven to help you make this transition, and don’t plan, scheme, or worry about how you’re letting-go (or replacement) will occur. Put all of your energy into prayer and faith, and leave the rest up to Infinite Spirit. You’ll get definite guidance whenever it’s the right moment to take action. Until then, stay lovingly detached from your old situation.

If you chose card #2: Your message this week is that this is a magical moment. Make a wish, and enjoy its manifestation. Your card goes on to say that you can say an affirmative prayer right now, which means stating your desire as if it were already true. Thank Heaven for this reality, and feel it in your heart and belly that your dream is actually a reality. For example, say, “Thank You, Heaven, for [whatever your desire is]. I’m truly grateful for your continuous support.” Now it’s a magical moment. Go into a quiet space–even if it’s just for a moment. Close your eyes, and imagine that your wish has come true. Feel it with your entire being. Then, express thanks for this gift, and release it like a helium balloon that goes straight to Heaven. If you need to take action to co-create this wish, you’ll be given strong and repetitive guidance in the form of feelings, thoughts, ideas, inner words, signs, visions, or dreams. It’s important that you follow this guidance in order to bring the wish into physical form.

If you chose card #3: Your message this week is to surround yourself with positive people and situations, and avoid negativity. Your card goes on to say that your manifestation work is going wonderfully well. By drawing this card, you’re encouraged to take the process to an even higher level by going on a “negativity diet.” This means avoiding negative influences as much as possible. Avoid negative discussions with yourself or others. Turn off television and radio programs with negative themes, and stay away from violent movies. Don’t read pessimistic headlines, and steer clear of gossip-based magazines. This negativity diet will cleanse you of any hidden blocks that could slow down the manifestation of your dreams–or prevent them from coming true at all. Another thing you can do is to apply Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of placement, to your physical environs, which will help enhance the positive energy in all of your surroundings. You’re also asked to donate or sell items that are cluttering your home. This helps you bring in new energy and opportunity, and will also establish an environment that promotes creativity, health, and abundance.

My hope for you this week is that you can marry both sides of yourself; light and shadow. I hope you can see the power in both and resolve to love every bit of you. True beauty lies in those that have compassion for others and can see their weaknesses as room for growth. Be an example of beauty this week and give yourself the understanding and love you’ve been looking for.

This is your week! Make it an amazing one 🙂
