Welcoming the New Moon in Leo and Mercury direct

Picture

Tarot Reader, Astrologer, and Author
For help connecting to each lunar cycle for intention setting:
New Moon Meditations
The calendar month of July packs an added boost this year:

It began with a New Moon and solar eclipse in Cancer on Tuesday, July 2 and ends with the New Moon in Leo this Wednesday, July 31.

This week’s New Moon arrives at 11:12pm EST, but not before it squares Uranus at 7:54pm. Stay aware of added insights or inspiration that may come up in the hours before that New Moon hits.

Uranus can inspire us through irritation or inventive ideas. It can deliver eureka moments that feel like capturing lightning in a bottle.

The timing is beautiful we head into another lunar cycle, this one starting off in the bold sign of Leo, giving us a new creative threshold to cross.
Mercury also goes direct on July 31 at 11:58pm, less than an hour after the Moon begins anew. See how you feel when you wake up on Thursday, August 1.

A veil is being lifted somewhere in your life and fresh clarity and confidence are set to grow throughout the month ahead. 

As this Mercury retrograde period winds down, I encourage you to be like the Hanged Man and take some time out to reflect and review all that has transpired or occurred throughout these last few weeks.

Have there been any learning opportunities for you to take forward on your journey?

Have there been any new insights that you’d like to use as intentions during this New Moon?

Have there been new ideas or projects you’d like to start, but were sidetracked by delays?

In other words, ask yourself: What is it time to do? To create? To make happen?

With Wednesday’s Leo New Moon, you are given a new packet of energy to shape into your own design, whatever that may be at this time in your life. 

How do you want to be seen?

How do you want to express yourself?

How do you want to cultivate confidence? 
How or what do you want to create?
Picture
If you would like to connect with this week’s New Moon in Leo, here is a tarot spread to help:
  1. How can I shine in this world?
  2. What is it time for me to express?
  3. What is it time for me to create?
  4. What lesson is it time for me to integrate?

Until next time,

Liz xo

Welcoming Leo season

I can’t believe how fast this year is going. Here we are in the last full week of July and Leo season begins tonight at 10:50pm EST. 

When the Sun enters Leo, it gives us a shift in energy from Cancer season. Here in the northern hemisphere it’s summer, and many people are looking forward to vacations, or just getting back from holidays.

We tend to take our time when summer is here, but also try to maximize each day. Some people might try to do as much as possible outdoors, savouring the warmer air and long days.

Others might try to have as few plans as possible, for there is something so freeing about summer that you don’t want to pack your schedule with too many obligations. Just leaving things open can feel so good.
Whatever you’ve been up to lately, I hope it’s been serving you well. And if you’ve been caught up in other things, perhaps something you hadn’t planned on doing or working on this summer, that’s okay, too: You never know why things unfold when they do, or the way they do.

Leo season helps us get a second wind if we need it. Personally, I find this time of year to be one of the most free-flowing. Maybe it’s the fiery energy of Leo that provides an added boost to each day.


Leo’s gregarious, larger-than-life energy can bring some encouragement to go out and make something happen, or make the most of what’s left of the summer season. 

Leo also likes to be social, and to be seen. It helps us be out and about, and helps us say yes to all the ways life can unfold – socially, creatively, and personally.

This Saturday, July 27, Venus joins Mars and the Sun when she enters Leo, too, bringing some added fire to the sky. Jupiter remains in Sagittarius, another fire sign.


With the Sun here along with the planet of action (Mars) and art (Venus), we can tap into some beautiful sources of inspiration right now – even if Mercury is still retrograde. Jupiter in Sagittarius can also help us pour some added energy into our personal goals, values and dreams.

I pulled the Empress for this week’s card, a nod to the energy we’re moving into now. The Empress is a wild woman, one who has a tight relationship with her true desires and deepest motivations. 

She asks:

“What is motivating you as you move through this big, wide world?” 

Until next time,

Welcoming the Full Moon and lunar eclipse in Capricorn

Eclipse season is a great time to get a reading.
Book Now
What’s stirring for you these days, my friend?

We are in eclipse season, with Mercury retrograde to boot. Both influences can push to re-evaluate and review the intentions we’ve set for ourselves.

If we are living without clear or true aim, then these times of year can press us to clarify a direction.

Have you ever had to answer the question, “Where do you see yourself in five years?” It can be an uncomfortable one, especially if you struggle with indecision, or you simply can’t envision your life in that length of time.

Yet if we were to sit down and really push ourselves to plan, to see, to bring some kind of vision into our mind’s eye in order to at least have an answer to the question, then we would be getting in touch with the consequences of our actions. 
Thinking ahead like that pushes you to look at what you are doing today, right here, right now, and whether it will lead you to where you want to be in several years’ time.

And that can be part of the reason those questions get so uncomfortable – especially if they cause us to see that our current actions may not be lining up with tomorrow’s intentions.

Tomorrow’s Full Moon and lunar eclipse in Capricorn at 5:38pm EST can help to clear out any habits, commitments, or obligations that are anchoring you to a place you don’t want to be in down the road.

Whether you see yourself breaking free next month, or next year, or sometime further off into the future, a tether can begin to loosen this week.

This Full Moon opposes Venus in Cancer, pushing you to weigh your desires against your duties. But with a conjunction to Saturn and Pluto, there is also a dose of reality with this Full Moon. 
The Five of Pentacles was the card I pulled for this week’s forecast, underscoring the following questions and themes we see with this eclipse season:

  • What is your current reality, for better or for worse?
  • Where are you compromising your time, energy, or well-being?
  • Where are you committed to responsibilities that you know you can’t simply walk away from?
  • What kind of change or sacrifice may be required on your part to get to where you want to be, if you’re not there already?
  • Where do you want power dynamics to shift within your life – especially if you feel invalidated or invisible at work, home, or within your community? 

There may be a heavier tone to this week’s Full Moon, but remember that lunar eclipses often initiate change from within. Whether they are big or small, the steps that become clearer with this lunation are yours to take, and yours to make. 
Picture
Here’s a tarot spread to help you connect to this week’s Full Moon and lunar eclipse in Capricorn: 
1. What is weighing me down?
2. How can I begin to break free?
3. What new perspective can I gain at this time?
4. What fear is it time to overcome?

Until next time,

Uncovering unfinished business with Mercury retrograde this month

Yup, it’s that time again: We are under the influence of another Mercury retrograde period.

Mercury retrograde began yesterday, Sunday, July 7 in the sign of Leo. Mercury will remain in Leo until Friday, July 19 when it slips back into the sign of Cancer. 

Once Mercury goes direct again on July 31, it won’t make its way back into Leo until Sunday, August 11. 

Mercury was already in Cancer in June. During this retrograde period, you may find yourself revisiting some of the same ideas, conversations or concepts that came up between June 17 and July 6. 

Don’t get frustrated if you feel like you’re going around in circles with something here. 

Mercury retrograde can sometimes feel like we’re riding a boomerang, with a certain sticking point or issue repeatedly showing up.
The frustration that arises while Mercury remains in Leo may at first feel more connected to creative projects or plans, or anything that pushes you to become front and centre. You may suddenly wonder if you’re ready to be doing what you’re doing, or you might realize there’s something that needs to be tweaked before you make a big announcement or launch an idea into the world. 

Once Mercury backs up into Cancer on July 19, the focus becomes much more about feelings – ours and everyone else’s.

This can be a particularly powerful time to sort through the tough stuff within your personal relationships:
  • Is there an issue that you and your partner just can’t seem to get sorted out?
  • Do you feel like a broken record, continually telling someone what you need from them and having it fall on deaf ears?
  • Do you hesitate to share your feelings? You may be pressed to express something you’ve been keeping under the surface. 
  • Do you feel your values or priorities have changed among your friends or loved ones, and you’d like to catch up on what’s most important to all of you at this stage in your lives?

These are just a few examples of the themes that can emerge during this summer’s Mercury retrograde period.
I pulled the Queen of Swords for this week’s message, which made me laugh: This card is often thought of as direct, assertive, and sometimes cold – this queen has a way of getting her point across. But does it have to be either / or when we talk about our feelings? Do feelings have to be soft and vague?

Can’t they benefit from some of the open, honest energy of the Queen of Swords, a card that encourages us to just get the heart of the matter? 

In 2019, Mercury retrogrades through the water signs of Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio as a way to help us reconnect to our emotional realms. While Mercury is a cerebral planet, it is expressing itself through the depths of the heart at these times, and so is pushing each of us ensure our heads and hearts are better aligned. 


“I am giving voice to my deepest needs.” 

Until next time,

Sigil Making (by Nick Veit)

Picture

Join me for my
"Sigils and Intentionality" Workshop
July 12th 7-9pm!
Sigils & Intentionality
Sigil making is a way to focus and sustain specific intentions, to manifest definite outcomes and/or to represent something in a magical way. They are also usually cryptographic in some way, meaning that there are specific and sometimes highly elaborate ways of coding information within them.

If you search online you can find some very complex looking ones used for general spells and often with a mysterious and feverish aura. This might put some people off because they don’t want to lean into other people’s systems, energies, beliefs, etc., especially when they are riddled with complexity. When it comes to intention on a personal level, however, complexity can be undervalued and/or misconstrued because of how it sometimes contrasts with the principle of “allowing” a manifestation, which requires us to “get out of our heads” and be open to new realizations and experiences. When it comes to being able to have a healthy and personal relationship with sigil making, probably the most important factor is developing an understanding of where meaning exists and how it is created.

In this blog, I’ll outline one of the easiest ways of making sigils and suggest that it’s a valuable practice in itself that doesn’t always need to be done for the purposes of manifestation, that it nonetheless can be very powerful and furthermore that it need not be vague or nebulous.

One of the easiest ways of making sigils is to simply write down a statement, select the consonants without repeating any and turn those consonants into pictures while the whole time observing your statement. Here I took the letters M, C, N and T. The ambiguity between the symbols as definite letters and definite pictures (the picture being of a person with arms joyfully outspread) is part of what gives the sigil its power in the subconscious.
Picture
Having drawn this simple sigil I can spend some time meditating on it, following it with my eyes and even trying to make a mental image in my memory that I can hold.

A strong memory is a great asset to sigil making and can also result from it. You could make a simple sigil like this one and then close your eyes and try to bring it to mind as clearly as possible before opening your eyes and experiencing the subtle differences between your imaginative image and what you see with your eyes.

Try to imagine as vividly as possible before looking at the drawing. Really commit to it. You may think of your visualization as a loving offering to the reality of what you see with your eyes and the world to which it belongs. Honour what you see with your eyes for what it is—no more, no less. If you do this process a few times, you’ll probably find a sort of conversation happens between the sigil, your consciousness and your intention/affirmation etc.
This experience is often one that you can feel in your whole body as a form of tension and balance. For me this is very tactile and sculptural, but everyone is different.

Picture
Focusing on specific parts of the sigil is important for this process, as individual letters and words that form part of the original statement come to have more organic relationships with one another as parts of a whole.

If you experience morphing and shifting of different parts of the drawing within your visual field this is very good, and it is very beneficial for you to use the original image with its definite proportions and shapes etc., as a grounding point for this intensive movement and fluidity—have faith, honour and trust in the external reality of the physical drawing.

If and when your imagination becomes so strong that it seems as if the unified being that is your sigil is something that exists in our consciousness as an image in your mind’s eye, keep the image there in your mind’s eye and maintain the subtle awareness that “there is a drawing, this image that I see in my mind’s eye relates to something definite and concrete.”

After a little while, go do something else while holding this awareness for a few moments. Being keenly aware of the physical reality of the sigil is important, and it is a visceral experience which is key for developing a strong memory and imagination. After a short while, take a deep breath and let the image go.

Welcoming the New Moon and solar eclipse in Cancer and more

There’s a lot to unpack with this week’s energies. 

Today, Monday, July 1, Mars enters Leo at 7:19pm EST. The warrior planet enters a sign of creative expression, attention, recognition, and pride. 

As Mars moves through Leo until August 18, you can get intentional about how you want to use the energy. You can also become aware of how it may be influencing you – and redirect that influence if it’s not aligning with your highest integrity at this time. 

For example: Mars in Leo can light a fire in your heart. It can inspire you to get noticed, or put yourself out there in a new way. Or to put more time and energy into a creative project.

This kind of energy can be particularly helpful to work with if you struggle to be seen, or if you’ve been working on building your public profile in some way.
But Mars in Leo can also give some people too much bravado. Channeled differently, it can make some of us hungry for attention. It can over-inflate an ego, or highlight a pushy, impatient vibe within the collective. At its worst, Leo can be all about, “me, me, me.” So if you’re being sidelined by an attention-seeker at work, or perhaps you’re noticing some of these traits within yourself, use this time to redirect this energy towards something that feels more constructive: Put time into your own projects, for example, or create clear action steps that will help you gain the credit and recognition you want in a positive, constructive way.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, July 2, we welcome the New Moon and solar eclipse in Cancer at 3:16pm. 

Solar eclipses are catalysts for change. As I was preparing this message, I pulled a tarot card for guidance here and got the Tower.

No surprise.

But don’t let the thought of change alarm you. 

Eclipse season is here to help you clean house. The change an eclipse brings is not always dramatic, or even noticeable at first; it can be subtle, nuanced. It can come in the form of an idea or conversation, a small realization that you may have as you drive home or crawl into bed. 

In Cancer, this New Moon and solar eclipse will push you to prioritize what’s in your heart. This new lunar cycle will highlight themes of self-care, quality time, and the value of your relationships and personal life. 

If you’ve been struggling with commitments that may look good on paper, but don’t really light you up, this eclipse season can help to clarify what that means for you moving forward.
Picture
Anyone who is hoping to set intentions around making more time for friends and family, or focusing on more personal goals will want to connect with this week’s New Moon. Ask yourself:

“What do I hope to experience in my life as a result of the changes I would like to make?”

On Wednesday, July 3, Venus enters Cancer, too, bringing us added emphasis around personal and intuitive pursuits. 
If you’d like to connect with this week’s New Moon and solar eclipse in Cancer, here’s a tarot spread that can help: 

1. What kind of change is in the air for me?
2. What can I create as a result?
3. What does my heart desire at this time?
4. What can I experience if I surrender to change? 

Until next time,
