This week is a lovely pocket of time to balance the sun (our shine and our goals) and the moon (our desires and underlying motivations). And thus we find ourselves at the new moon in Leo by this weekend! Join me for a sweet episode where I get a little personal and a little emotional— in honor of our final days of this past Cancer lunar cycle!

Moon connects us this week with the four elements air (Aquarius), water, (Pisces), fire (Aries), and earth (Taurus). After the chaos and nervous system testinggg of last week, this week looks to be much more chill overall. The Moon Mamas message this week is about the importance of taking good, good care, not only as a remedy in times when you’re not feeling great, but as a thriving practice when you’re doing well. Tune in for specific self care, home care, and parenting tips for each day of the week.

This potentially disruptive but positive full moon week pushes us to break old patterns. What are you ready to release so you can boldly claim the fact that you are a divine, sacred, unique, and needed part of the collective? The moon invites us to swim through our deep emotions (Scorpio), then step back and explore what we truly believe in (Sagittarius), then plan and/or execute how to materialize our desires (Capricorn), and finally to solidify our mindset that best supports us as we move into the future (Aquarius).

We’re back this week, after some time away last week to privately sit with the new moon in Cancer. On the Moon Mamas Podcast this week, I have a few words to share with you about this new Cancer lunar cycle (7/5 - 8/4/2024) and the meaning of revolutionary mothering. As well as a lunar forecast for the upcoming week as we move side-by-side with and supported by a fire moon in Leo, then an earth moon in Virgo, then an air moon in Libra, and finally a water moon in Scorpio.

We have a week that may feel busy in our minds, as we come down from the full moon that happened over the weekend, and as Mercury makes its rounds with its planetary friends and foes. At this point in the year, we are highly supported to integrate and practice, practice, practice all that we are learning and healing this year. Tune in for practical tips on caring for self, home, and little ones as the moon reflects the elements of air (Aquarius), water (Pisces), fire (Aries), and earth (Taurus) this week.

Summer Solstice, Cancer season, and our first of two full moons in Capricorn are here this week! It’s a moment to reflect on what of the past we are ready to release and what we will bring forward. With Venus and Mercury in Cancer as well, we are especially encouraged to evaluate these questions based on what nourishment means to us.

This is the final week of spring, halfway through 2024, and a time to take stock of what has come up for us this year so far. The moon travels through fiery Leo, earthy Virgo, and air sign Libra. As we tend to ourselves, our homes, and our littles, we have the opportunity to make strides in healing our "masculine" energetics, which means the ways we enact our will and take action toward our desires.

This Gemini new moon wants to know what is love, and it wants us to speak on it. Even though it may challenge authority, and because in order to be in integrity with our hearts, we must. Clarity around this question, along with a deep intuitive knowing about how best to give and receive care-- are all so available to us this week. Tune in for practical tips on what this means for our home life and parenting.

As we move into the second half of 2024, we enter new chapters and with them we confront the unknown. Follow the air moon in Aquarius, the water moon in Pisces, and the fire moon in Aries to stay connected with your inner experience this week. What feelings come up for you as you meet experiences you never have before, as a version of yourself you’ve never had access to before? Tune in to this lunar forecast for tips on caring for your self, your home, and your little ones this week.

This week kicks up momentum into a very special Gemini season and a full moon in Sagittarius. Abrupt shifts are sure to take place in the world, in our lives, and within our mindsets. When we practice centering within ourselves, our values, and our trust in our self love, we are free to expand and explore. When we release any need for certainty that is based in control or fear rather than love, then we are free to receive aid in bringing forth our visions.

With big changes in our lives and the world, we fortify ourselves this week with the loving fire energy of the moon in Leo, the grounding and clarifying earth energy of the moon in Virgo, and the connective air energy of the moon in Libra. It’s a week to prepare ourselves emotionally and practically to receive, as we intentionally call in the life and world we desire.

The Taurus new moon is here, with abundant blessings on our healing processes, and surprises in general. As we continue to reckon with our humanity on this planet and as part of this planet, we are reminded that we are but one life in our long lines of ancestry, behind and ahead. We are here to do our part, no more and no less. Enjoy.

This episode includes a guided meditation for inner child healing at 12:00 - 19:50. It can be a heavy experience to tap into your wounded inner child, and potential trauma experienced in early life, so please listen to your intuition as to whether this meditation is right for you right now, and take care of yourself. That said, it is a gentle, lovely, and powerful exercise if and when you are ready to go there. This week promises to bring massive shifts, both in the world outside and in our inner worlds. As we continue to intentionally take responsibility for ourselves by allowing ourselves to feel our feelings, we make way for new perspectives and new opportunities. Thank you for tuning in!

The new moon eclipse in Aries kicks off this week and steals the show. Re-defining the self in the context of the collective is not necessarily simple or easy work. But a Mars-Saturn conjunction in Pisces is our blessing in disguise, bidding us to take our time and not rush our process of integrating this eclipse. We don’t need to have all the answers quite yet, but we do get to unconditionally love ourselves through the whole process.

This week— between eclipses as Mercury stations retrograde— the moon helps us to practice being accountable for our self-awareness and self-love, even and especially during times of discomfort and stress.

This week, as we follow the moon, there is potential for a sweet and supported integration of the Libra full moon eclipse. How will we center on love as we move imperfectly toward our ideal relationship with life?

The theme of the week is: “I love myself, I love others. I heal myself, I help others heal themselves.” We build up all week to the Libra full moon eclipse that begins Sunday afternoon and is exact at 12:00am PST on Monday 3/25.
