Be Resilient

I want to talk today about inner strength. We don't talk about it enough out in the open, especially during times when we feel weak. Often I see strength being talked about in measures of physical or in numbers. But the true essence of strength comes from within. Some of us tap into that easier than others but I've realized this... finding your inner strength comes repetition. How many times do you fall? How many times do you bounce back? And how do you do you choose to do it? This is something really important to meditate on this week. We are still in a Mercury Retrograde, Pluto is still giving off it's strong energy, Mars is giving us strong enthusiasm to solve problems today; while the Last Quarter Moon is in Cancer today leaving us feeling like there's a strong need for a moment of truth in consciousness. Last week's Full Moon Lunar Eclipse has us weighing what works or doesn't work in our lives. So, next week's New Moon, will be calling us to be prepared for what we've decided on because we will feel a sense of renewal.

There's so much planetary energy going on right now. It can all feel a bit intense and it may leave you wanting to hide under the covers if something isn't working out. But keep at it. Finish up any loose projects, tend to yourself and draw from your own strength and resilience.

A Total Lunar Eclipse and You

Did you get to check out last night's early morning Total Lunar Eclipse? I hope you did! Lunar Eclipses are not only an awesome phenomenon but they have lots of energetic meaning for us humans on the planet. A lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, moon, the earth are perfectly aligned. The earth is sits in the middle, causing the suns light to cast a shadow from earth falling on the full moon. What is so great is we don't need a telescope but can see it with the naked eye, providing you have no cloud cover! Lunar eclipses are powerful energetically. It will feel like some big changes need to happen in your life right now. Relationships of all kinds will feel like they are being tested. It's important to think before you speak and carefully choose your words. The full moon is in Aries so you will want to go go go! But we are in Libra which also makes us want to weigh things out. This can cause conflict which you may have felt over the past couple of days. Just try to stay calm and prepare for the new. If you've a fixed idea and want to push ahead; it's best to relax, wait, trust and see. Yes, Lunar Eclipses bring up alot of fears, anxieties and insecurities. It's best to stay in the energy of letting go, trusting, being cautious and listening right now. This will help you know if the direction you want to go is a reaction out of fear or for your true highest good.

So in honor of being a moon child myself and just how amazing the moon is, I made this for you.

Being Ready

Welcome October! We have a Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio coming up on October 4th and this one will be all about getting to the bottom of things. No sweeping things under the rug here. But no fear, I always think Mercury in Retrograde is blown way out of proportion, if you know what's up you can navigate bad communication and travel mishaps pretty easily. Even if you have to sign a contract during that time, it may be beneficial since everyone knows about Mercury Retrograde now. You may just get that job or house you've been wanting because everyone else backed out! Just stay grounded, keep your eyes and ears open and you'll do just fine. Mercury Retrogrades are always great times to reflect and get organized, so use it to your advantage. With Pluto going direct and this planet energy being all about taking a big step and moving to the next chapter in your life; it can bring up feelings of not being ready. But who is, really? People often say this kind of thing when a baby shows up in their lives, or when you start a new job... Think about all the times you've gone through with something despite having feelings of unpreparedness. Some things end up going smoothly and some things don't - remember it's all part of your journey and you know in your gut if you're on the right path.

Autumn Calm

Did you see that Harvest Supermoon on Monday September 8th? It's the third one of the year and it waxed well into the night of Tuesday September 9th. This weeks energy for the first couple weeks of September is one of things calming down. This week is very grounding so it's a good time to start planning, writing down goals because by the 14th, it will be time to motivate. If you're having trouble motivating or even know what you want to motivate for, this documentary "Finding Joe" is a great one to watch. It talks about following your bliss and going beyond our limits of possibilities. This week's inspirational quote is based off of one of Joseph Campbell's quotes. Enjoy. ❤ Adrienne

Trust in You

We've entered into September! This is a time of harvest, summer has grown it's fruits and it's time to collect and use for the winter. We have until September 23rd until the Autumn Equinox but fall is already on the brain! I can see it in my garden, in the trees, in the amount of daylight left and almost smell it. We talked about August being the month to go after your dreams and this carries into September. All the work you did this month, should yield some exciting and challenging energy. The planets are aligned to help you get closer to what you want, your calling, your true self - whatever your quest is. But how have your thoughts been? What are your inner mantras and beliefs? Remember, the Universe always has our highest good in mind so how have you been listening? Getting stuck in the past, negative thoughts, manipulating or controlling situations and blaming others are just some of the ways you can stay stuck. If you've found your true calling - great! Then you understand all the bumps are worth the risk. A lot of people don't know what their true calling is and some of us don't know why we are at a crossroad or standing in front a certain doorway... just know there are always reasons for everything in your life. Everyone has doubts, everyone has negative thoughts. Just weigh those thoughts and don't let them stop you from achieving your dreams. How will you trust your path? How will you trust in you?
