Moon Reading: New Moon in Virgo
Happy New Moon in Virgo! This down-to-Earth sign couldn’t come at a better time, we can all certainly use a surge of grounding, can-do energy. The combination of planetary alignments and retrogrades above our head promises passion and prowess in planning our futures, heads up! Shift the gaze from misery to hope and your compass will return.
Release Resistance to Change
Breathe through it bb, let it go....
Significant spiritual growth may feel like a mini death and in a lot of ways it is. As we grow and change, old parts of us, outdated patterns, friends, environments and old desires shift as well.
Moon Reading: Full Super Strawberry Moon in Capricorn
Happy Full Strawberry Supermoon in Capricorn!! The beautiful cosmic chaos has quelled a bit as Mercury goes direct and a powerful series of eclipses and The Summer Solstice are in our rearview mirror. It’s a lovely time to harness the tenacity of Earth Goat Capricorn as you press your way forward into the unknown. It’s also Water Crab Cancer time which means lessons around tending to home, vulnerability and village will also surface. Here are more insights offered for your way…
Moon Reading: New Moon Solar Eclipse in Gemini
Happy New Moon Solar Eclipse in Gemini! This intense, future flowing Air sign offers lessons around communication, expression and life's inherent dichotomy. And it’s all happening during Mercury Retrograde (gifting us challenges with communication and asking us to reflect) and during a Solar Eclipse (a potent time to create new inner change and transformation). The Twins are serving up a five alarm Duality Soup! Read on for more insight into this current time.

Semi Woo Moon Reading: New Moon in Taurus
Happy New Moon in Taurus!! Taurus energy takes its cues from the Earth and New Moons ask us to peer inward. Tune your vibration dials to one that allows more grounded, introspective feelings. It’s time to come back down to Earth, Come Home! Here are some more insights to navigate your journey….
Semi Woo Moon Reading: New Moon in Aries
Happy New Moon In Aries!!! If you wanna get something going in the new few weeks the lunar potion of fiery Aries is just the elixir you will need. IN FACT Aries is pouring so much energy and spark into the mix that you currently might even feel agitated or like you’re already behind. Don’t fall into the trap!
Quick Start Meditation Practice
When it comes to meditation practice, I like to just go ahead and build in the part where thoughts and distractions compete for my attention. That way, I'm not so hard on myself when I inevitably lose my focus!
Infusing self-compassion into your meditation practice is key. As you get more familiar with the power of silence and calm, remember to stay kind, light and curious with yourself.
Semi Woo Moon Reading: New Moon in Pisces
This New Moon in Pisces asks us to go with that watery flow as best we can, to be more like the trusting rainbow trout and swim with more ease and flair.
The point of focus these next few weeks is a tall order for many: unclench and relax your muscles, breath from the belly. Go with the flow, surrender to the current. This is happening.
Get Weird To Grow: Coming to terms with being outside of your Comfort Zone
I love taking classes and trying new things but for many reasons I often show up kicking and screaming, terrified about future moments of imperfection or failure. It’s a huge drain of energy, especially considering it’s usually something I really want to do! I’m breaking through major limitations around Perfectionism.
Pay What You Like Classes at Semi Woo
Pay What You Like doesn’t always have to be a charity effort or a marketing gimmick. It’s a business model that profitable companies from The Met to Wikipedia use. It allows more access for underprivileged communities while still appealing to a wide customer base, including one who would expect to pay more.
Accepting The Body I Was Born Into
Mushrooms help expand the mind to offer us new possibilities for living and thinking. I chose a new thought pattern, and kept at it, even when doubts and old patterns worked to creep back in. Eventually, the new thought pattern replaced the old and I was living in a much kinder, exciting atmosphere. My body continues to morph and my love and appreciation sustains.
Meditation Works!
The best bits won't happen after 1 sesh but with consistent meditation practice and a willingness to let yourself & your world morph, a positive, life changing shift absolutely does occur. #elevate
5 Healing Remedies of African Ancestry You Can Try Today
The knowledge of how to heal our own bodies will always live right within us all.
The self-healing path can provide an exciting way to connect with the body and unravel some of its mysteries. On this path, you might develop your power to tune out unsupportive or irrelevant voices in the mind so you can tune into what you truly need, at the moment, to grow.
Trust Your Intuition
Trust your intuition by asking what to do next, not what to do over all
Great TED Alert: Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche "The Danger of A Single Story"
Put this on your list! This 18 minute journey is quite expanding, I was moved by her vunerablity/truth (and her soothing storytelling and voice).
When You Aren't Practicing What You Preach, It Hurts
Having a blind spot revealed is a huge vulnerability tornado! Nobody likes to feel inadequate, let alone be the last one in the village to know about it.
Altars All Around Us
Finding a memorial altar at my local skate park reminds me that despite all the programing, the wisdom and rituals of our ancestors still remain.
