Lunar Digest: Super New Moon in Aquarius

Working with my menstrual cycle, the Wheel of the Year, and the lunar cycle have served me so well over the last 7-8 eight years. The Moon in particular supports me throughout the month in re-committing to my intentions, taking inspired action and shedding whatever doesn't support the woman I am becoming. I do my own Full and New Moon rituals, and lead The Sisterhood Of The Moon New Moon Circles online in groups and have helped numerous women to maximise their manifestation potential by allowing 'Lady Luna' to inspire their day-to-day lives. The Lunar Digest is a bi-monthly blog post sharing the main themes of the upcoming lunation, my own take on what The Moon has in store, a practice to engage with, an affirmation for The Moon, and a journaling prompt. I hope you enjoy!

The Super New Moon in Aquarius - 9/2/2024

Main themes: 

• Let them

• Deeper healing still

• Your uniqueness is your superpower

• Take deep breaths, watch and listen

My take: 

A Super New Moon is a MAXIMISED opportunity for setting manifestations into action... And this month's is all about healing your relationship with you, your quirks and what makes you tick.

As Chiron (the planetoid of deepest healing) approaches the North Node of the Moon, it brings about the opportunity to peel back another layer of healing... this time, the guidance is to take a leap of faith directly into the shadows. It is scary, it's uncomfortable, but with the North Node usually being associated with risk-taking and finding the courage to step into the void, the skies are supporting these sorts of moves, bigtime.

Furthermore, Aquarius is often connected to expressing your uniqueness, letting your 'freak flag fly' and really showing the world what makes you special. And what can be more deeply healing (and actually risky, sometimes) than making the decision to be 100% unapologetically YOU? This Moon is inviting you to listen in to your intuition and connect with the you that you were before the world told you what you should be... Connect with your likes, dislikes, beliefs, values and passions, and then give them your voice. Trust that the people who are meant to stick around will celebrate you, and those that are not will remove themselves (and, isn't it refreshing when the trash takes ITSELF out?!) Nothing heals a wounded inner child more than loving oneself enough to let the world see the truth of who you are.

That being said, try not to get into too many arguments and discussions this month... This isn't about how others receive you, its about how unconditionally you can love yourself. If people choose to walk away, let them. If they choose to poke fun, let them. If they choose to miss out on the magic of who you are, let them. Instead, invest impassioned words in yourself through positive affirmations like the one below.

Affirmation:

"I am me. I'm the only me there will ever be. I love myself unconditionally. I will always love myself. The more myself I am, the more love I attract. I am unconditionally loveable."

Journaling prompt:

Write, "I love myself for..." then make a list beneath of your most unique features, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, physically, in terms of values, preferences, passions etc. What makes you special and different? What are your quirks, what makes you tick, what eccentricities do you have? Ask your friends and family for help if you get stuck.

Practice: 

Research ways in which you can embody your uniqueness more moving forward... For example, if you have a unique facial feature (eg. big eyes, or curly hair) is there a way you can emphasise them even more? If you have an interest in something different, is there a class or a group you can go to in order to connect with others of the same passion (eg. a self-development book club, or a watercolour painting class)? Or if you really value something which not a lot of people consider, is there a way you can educate others through social media, a podcast or blog (eg. a holistic wellness practice, a specific belief system, or a cause which is important to you)? Set the wheels in motion for letting the world see a little more of who you truly are this month. And don't forget to share your experience in The Soul-Led Sisterhood Experience: Lifestyle Upgrades for Fierce Females free facebook group!

I always get a little nervous when they guidance is to simply be MORE of myself (because I'm already pretty loud about who I am!) and to let the chips fall where they may... Not least because I experienced a mass exodus of people from my life back in 2019-2020, and I was so afraid to be abandoned that I really fought at times to try and get people to stay.

BUT since my heartbreak in 2022, I've been stepping into the 'let them' mentality a lot more and honestly it has been so empowering and freeing to detach from other people's reactions to who I am. Ultimately, I genuinely do love myself, wholly, madly, deeply, radically and unconditionally. And I'm proud to say that anyone who can't get on board with that can jump lol, jk, but still...

So I'm going to be working on this over the next couple of weeks and I can't wait to see what the impact is. Be sure to keep me in the loop of how it goes for you too!

With grace and grit,

Gabriella
