THE HIGH PRIESTESS REVERSED

Are you listening to your inner voice? The High Priestess in reverse encourages you to find stillness and turn your focus inward to listen to your own wisdom.

Sometimes, the noise of others’ opinions can drown out your inner thoughts, or you might get caught up in external drama when you should be focusing on what’s right for you. It’s time to step back and detach from the outside world to connect with your inner guidance.

Don’t doubt yourself or feel guilty for following your intuition. Your intuition is a powerful tool, and denying it can hold you back. If you’re keeping your intuitive abilities hidden because of fear of judgment from others, remember, your intuition is your superpower. It’s here to guide and support you.

Ask your Tarot cards: How can I surrender and let go to trust my inner wisdom?

The High Priestess Keywords

UPRIGHT: Intuition, sacred knowledge, divine feminine, the subconscious mind
REVERSED: Secrets, disconnected from intuition, withdrawal and silence

The High Priestess Description

The High Priestess sits in front of a thin veil decorated with pomegranates. The veil represents the separate conscious and subconscious realms, the seen and the unseen, and serves to keep casual onlookers out. Only the initiated may enter. The pomegranates on the veil are a symbol of abundance, fertility and the divine feminine, and are sacred to Persephone who ate a pomegranate seed in the underworld and was forced to return every year.

On either side of The High Priestess stand two pillars, marking the entrance to this sacred, mystical temple (also associated with the Temple of Solomon). One pillar is black with the letter B (Boaz, meaning ‘in his strength’) and the other is white with the letter J (Jachin, meaning ‘he will establish’). The black and white colors of the pillars symbolize duality – masculine and feminine, darkness and light – stating that knowledge and acceptance of duality are required to enter this sacred space.

The High Priestess wears a blue robe with a cross on her chest and a horned diadem (or crown), both a symbol of her divine knowledge and her status as a divine ruler. In her lap, she holds a scroll with the letter TORA, signifying the Greater Law (according to A. E. Waite). It is partly covered, signifying that this sacred knowledge is both explicit and implicit, it will only be revealed when the student is ready to look beyond the material realm. The crescent moon at her feet symbolizes her connection with the divine feminine, her intuition and subconscious mind, and the natural cycles of the moon.

The High Priestess Upright

While The Magician is the guardian of the conscious mind and the tangible world, The High Priestess is the guardian of the subconscious mind and the teacher of sacred knowledge and hidden mysteries. Sitting at the threshold of the conscious and subconscious mind, The High Priestess has an innate ability to travel between these realms effortlessly. She teaches you that the world is not always as it seems and more profound influences are often at play. She ushers you through the thin veil of awareness, offering you a deep, intuitive understanding of the Universe and a heightened awareness of secret or hidden information.

The High Priestess signifies spiritual enlightenment, inner illumination, divine knowledge and wisdom. She shows up in your Tarot readings when the veil between you and the underworld is thin, and you have the opportunity to access the knowledge deep within your soul. Now is the time to be still so you can tune in to your intuition. The answers you are seeking will come from within, from your deepest truth and ‘knowing’. Allow The High Priestess to become your guide as you venture deep into your subconscious mind and access this inner wisdom. Connect with your intuition and your Higher Self through meditation, visualization, shamanic journeying, and being part of spiritual communities.

Your intuitive sense right now is providing you with useful information and is assisting you to become more in touch with your subconscious mind. Knowledge of how to fix these issues will not come through thinking and rationalizing, but by tapping into and trusting your intuition, so allow yourself the time and space to meditate and attend to your inner voice. Look for areas in your life that may be out of balance or lacking ‘flow’ and ease.

Now is also a time of heightened intuitive ability and psychic insight. If you are developing these skills, The High Priestess offers you further encouragement to continue your journey and trust that you are on the right path. The more you listen to your intuition, the more it will flow.

Finally, The High Priestess is a signal that you are being called to embrace the Divine Feminine – your connection to your intuition, compassion, empathy, and inner wisdom. Regardless of your gender, it is vital for you to balance and integrate your masculine and feminine energies, and the presence of The High Priestess signals that your sacred feminine needs your attention right now. Feel, rather than think. Collaborate, rather than compete. Create, rather than destroy. Trust your Divine Feminine energy, even if the masculine energy around you may appear to be stronger. Be proud of your ability to nurture, trust, sense, and empathize instead of hiding it away.

The High Priestess Reversed

The High Priestess Reversed calls on you to be still and direct your attention inward to listen to your voice and wisdom. You may be swayed by other people’s opinions or swept up in their drama when what you really need to do is focus on what is right for you. It is time to get quiet and withdraw yourself from the external world to observe what your inner guidance is sharing with you now.

Ask yourself: Do I struggle to trust my intuition fully? Perhaps you doubt yourself or feel silly or guilty for listening to your intuition, and as a result, you deny your ability to tune in and receive this potent information. You may also keep your intuitive capabilities hidden from others, fearful of their judgements or opinions. If this resonates, know that your intuition is your superpower, here to guide you and help you. Have faith in the Universe and allow yourself to be in flow with its energies. Surrender and let go.

Think of The High Priestess as the calm center inside of you that is untouched by your external world and trust that she is always there when you need her. Whenever you worry that things are just getting too crazy, find a quiet space and meditate so you can hear her voice. If you stop thinking or fretting about your issue and instead clear the way for your intuition to speak to you, the answer will follow.

Finally, the secretive nature of The High Priestess may suggest gossip and hidden agendas. Others may be keeping information from you or talking about you behind your back and sharing mistruths. Rather than making assumptions or diving into the depths of paranoia, have an open and honest conversation to surface and address these secrets.


On Saturday, October 28, 2023, at 4:15 p.m. ET, the lunar eclipse in Taurus marks the final eclipse of the year. This is theonly full blood moon of 2023 and being in headstrong Taurus, will bring fierce shifts that can cause rifts in our sense of security as we try to keep a fair balance between our hearts and our minds

The first eclipse of the month was the new moon solar eclipse on October 14, 2023, and the second is the full moon lunar eclipse in Taurus on October 28, 2023. What makes this eclipse season extra special is that these are the final eclipses of the year and mark the end of the Taurus-Scorpio cycle. This two-year eclipse season took place on the axis of resources, values, power, wealth, authority, and self-worth. And now, the final lunar eclipse in Taurus on October 28, 2023, is closing a cycle that began on November 19, 2021. Look back to what has transpired since the Taurus-Scorpio eclipse cycle began to reveal what areas of life the eclipses have transformed.

The spirit world is very busy this month, especially with the eclipse happening just days before Halloween when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest. You are experiencing significant changes in your life that are spiritually orchestrated. This eclipse can cause anxiety around relationships, romance, and self-worth. It can be tempting to repeat old patterns, but choosing a different reaction could bring unexpected results. That’s because this eclipse is conjunct retrograde Jupiter in Taurus. Your love deserves to be celebrated and reciprocated by others. This eclipse reminds you to surround yourself with people who shower you with luxury, care, and affection.

Lunar eclipses are emotionally charged moments of karmic rewards, cosmic wisdom, and closure. And Taurus’s grounded and practical spirit enhances these traits. This eclipse season was about balancing restriction and freedom: stability and change. For the last two years, themes surrounding growth, abundance, security, finances, and safety were highlighted. We are being called to focus on what makes us feel good. The eclipses have taught you how to unite your life’s spiritual and material sides, and you may feel a new sense of ambition and alignment fueling you. Take a moment to sit in this energy and acknowledge how far you’ve come in the last two years when this cycle began.

Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) will feel the influence of the lunar eclipse in Taurus the most directly. For the last two years, the eclipses have forced you to face the reality of romance. Love isn’t enough to keep the flames of romance burning bright; it takes emotional and spiritual commitment from both people to make it through the tough times. At the start of this cycle, your goal was to find harmony and balance within your most intimate relationships. You’ll feel called to express your love and gratitude for the people who stuck by you during the tough times. This cycle revealed to you what you need to feel supported. Now, the stars want you to reflect on the past and, more importantly, look forward to the future.

Cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) signs will be able to feel the anticipation this eclipse season. Earlier in the month, you got a preview of how the Aries-Libra eclipse cycle will reshape your entire reality. You’re entering a new age of mastery, but before you begin, the lunar eclipse in Taurus will reveal what you truly value in life. The full moon eclipse this month is healing wounds of power and authority. Being unable to speak your truth has limited your dreams for too long. The situation will become clear as the pressure culminates during this final lunar eclipse. You’re experiencing one big awakening after another, and your glow-up will be blinding. Wait to act, even if the energy seems tempting. It benefits you to pause and let the old you die away completely before stepping into the light.

Mutable (Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces, and Gemini) signs can expect the Taurus lunar eclipse to emphasize self-nurturing. Finally, mutable signs can look forward to the Taurus lunar eclipse to highlight new ways to nurture yourself in life and love. It’s time to elevate your standards and limit access to your energy. You would be wise to prioritize rest and repair during this eclipse season; there’s no need to force anything when the energy is this unpredictable. A lunar eclipse disturbs everything that lurks under the surface, so be sure to cater to your spiritual regime and take care of your energy. Find internal peace and harmony in the mystical. Eclipses can be especially tough on changeable signs, so take the time to cater to your inner self and engage in activities that bring you peace, such as meditation, yoga, or nature walks. Prioritize self-care, rest, and spiritual practices during this unpredictable time. Eclipses can be challenging, so seek inner peace and engage in calming activities like meditation and nature walks.

Here are some ways to help yourself align with the energy of the full Hunter’s Moon this year:

  • Complete your internal harvest. Take a good look at what you have been cultivating this year, what’s been working for you, and what hasn’t.
  • Take action on the things you need to change. Adjust your schedule, ask for help, and let go of those projects that aren’t working or are dragging you down.
  • Use the clear light of this full moon to illuminate your targets. What do you really want over the next few months? What are you working toward? What is your top priority?
  • Sit down and think about the values that drive you most. Ruminate and identify what motivates you in your life, in your work, and in your relationships.

October’s full moon, nicknamed the Hunter’s Moon, on Oct. 28
 is about to be a spooktacular (sorry, had to say it) one because it will also take place during a lunar eclipse.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is sandwiched directly between the moon and the sun, causing the Earth to cast a shadow on the moon. This upcoming astronomical event is going to be a partial lunar eclipse, meaning only a portion of the Moon passes through the Earth’s umbral shadow. The partial lunar eclipse will begin at 3:36 p.m. ET, end at 4:53 p.m. ET.

October’s full moon is called Hunter’s Moon because it signals  the time to go hunting in preparation for the cold winter ahead.

Astronomical meaning aside, this event is energetically significant too.  Lunar eclipses are three times more powerful and emotional than full moons,  as they  mark culminations, breakthroughs or breakdowns, triggering a crisis event that causes us to assess our most internal fears, feelings and actions.  

Furthermore,  some of the most memorable moments in our lifetimes overtimes take place near solar or lunar eclipses.  This lunation will be a lunar eclipse in Taurus,  so you will likely see a major conclusion in regards to the stories and situations that have been building since that point in time, .

Welcome to Scorpio Season, Where the Vibe Is Intense, Emotional, and Really, Really Sexy

Following the sun’s moment in Libra, which highlights our one-on-one bonds and desires to bring more balance and beauty into the world, Scorpio season makes it clear that autumn is in full swing. The delightfully spooky, ethereal time is perfect for pulling out all the stops on a memorable Halloween costume. It’s also a chilly, dark, and increasingly sleepy time of year. But the sun’s moment in Scorpio isn’t only about binge-watching your favorite haunting flicks and slurping up autumn-spiced drinks.

It’s also a time tailored to taking the temperature of your most intimate bonds, embracing transformation (even when it scares you), and floating in the deep end of your most complex and intense emotions. After all, it will include the final eclipse of the year, which can lead to exciting, emotionally-charged changes in your relationships, including the one you have with yourself and your values.

Here’s what you need to know about Scorpio season, in general — and particularly for 2023.

When Is Scorpio Season?

The sun’s time in the sign of the Scorpion happens annually from approximately Oct. 22–23 to Nov. 21–22. This year (in US time zones), Scorpio season is from Oct. 23 to Nov. 22.

The Overall Vibe of Scorpio Season

For an idea of how Scorpio functions in astrology and colors mid-October to mid-November, you might pull some clues from the sign’s two rulers: go-getter Mars, the planet of action, energy, and sex; and Pluto, the planet of power, transformation, and the underworld. In turn, Scorpio isn’t satisfied with surface-level anything, preferring to get to the heart of the matter and connect with others spiritually and emotionally. Innately comfortable with the shadow side of life and sexuality, Scorpio is also incredibly magnetic and intense. Those born with Scorpio placements (meaning their sun or one of their big three or even big six is in the sign) can easily command a room but surely won’t open up to just anyone, keeping their cards close to the vest. It also bears noting that, as the fixed water sign, Scorpios can be resolute and obstinate. Once they’ve committed to a path, it can be truly challenging for them to switch it up. And associated with the eighth house of emotional bonds, joint resources, and sex, Scorpios are comfortable grappling with topics that other signs shy away from or find taboo.

All of that said, while the sun moves through Scorpio, we’re all encouraged to reflect on — and, ideally, deepen — our most intimate relationships. Your ability to get closer to someone you love, be vulnerable, build trust, and venture into intimidatingly uncharted waters — perhaps related to investing or going into business with one another — is supported through this emotionally charged, often spiritually satisfying time of year.

Fueled by competitive Mars and commanding Pluto, Scorpio season also asks us to consider the power we hold in our own lives and what we’re willing to do to maintain it — or seek even more.

Scorpio Season: What to Expect in 2023

Although the sun moves through Scorpio every year, the moon and other planets each have their own unique patterns through the sky, making for a unique astrological picture that differs from one year to the next. Here’s what’s going on astrologically during Scorpio season 2023.

On October 28, just several days after Scorpio season kicks off, we’ll experience the final eclipse of the year — a lunar eclipse and full moon — in Taurus. This dramatic, emotional moment will likely mark the culmination point of an ongoing narrative that began for you back in 2021. For a sense of how it will affect you, find where Taurus — specifically 5 degrees of the fixed earth sign — falls on your birth chart.

Since June 17, Saturn has been retrograde in the dreamy mutable water sign of Pisces, but as of November 4, it will move forward, encouraging you to pursue personal growth, wisdom, and maturity in an external way once more. This could mean volunteering to take on more responsibility on the job or being up for putting in more work to bolster your relationship, applying whatever you’ve learned from self-reflection around the subject since the summer.

On November 13, the new moon falls in the fixed water sign, presenting an opportunity to start new chapters related to your most intimate relationships, sex life, joint financial endeavors, and inner transformation.

Here’s what every sign can expect this Scorpio season. Feel free to read the below based on your zodiac sign and/or rising sign, too.

Aries (March 20-April 19)

Libra season was all about focusing on your closest friendship, relationship, maybe professional partnership. You were taking note of how you were showing up for your nearest and dearest — and how they’ve been showing up for you. But while the sun moves through Scorpio and your eighth house of emotional bonds, you’re going to be considering what you need to feel more comfortable and nurture intimacy within your tightest bonds. This is also a significant season for working on endeavors related to joint resources, like investments or business proposals.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

While the sun moves through Scorpio, the confident sun zips through your seventh house of partnership, making one-on-one relationships — whether romantic, platonic, and even professional — a major focus. It could be that you and your honey are on the precipice of a new chapter of your relationship or you’re designing a business proposal with a friend or colleague. Either way, you’ll feel more prepared and confident building on your goals as part of a pair.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Scorpio season usually brings your focus to everyday tasks and your wellness routine, thanks to the sun’s trip through your sixth house. While it may strike you as mundane initially, you’ll get the green light to be especially productive within your day-to-day hustle. Think: checking annual health exams off your list or signing up for a new yoga studio membership. Caring for yourself in this way can feel productive and centering. Cancer (June 21-July 22)

For you, Cancer, Scorpio season is all about embracing spontaneity, tuning into your inner kid, and taking note of your artistic impulses. You could be especially creative and drawn to playful pastimes, thanks to the confident sun’s journey through your fifth house of romance and self-expression. No matter what’s in your heart right now, you’ll be inspired to share it in a carefree, lighthearted way. Yep, this is the perfect moment to step up your flirting game.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Scorpio season brings your focus to your inner life and closest relationships, with the confident sun, your ruler, moving through your fourth house of home life, Leo. Carve out more time to connect with your loved ones over your favorite seasonal activities (like whipping up a batch of your favorite baked goods or taking a restful, restorative Yin yoga class together) could be a top priority. No matter what you choose, slowing down alongside the people you care about most is sure to do wonders for your heart and mind.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Prepare for your social life to be even busier than usual, Virgo. While the confident sun moves through Scorpio, it lights up your third house of communication, nudging you to say “yes” to all the invites. You’ll want to make more plans with friends, colleagues, and family thanks to invitations galore to everything from happy hours to weekend trips. You might also be craving more mental stimulation than usual (yes, really!), so make a point to dive into books and films you’ve been wanting to check out and then trade notes with your inner circle.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22)

Scorpio season brings your attention to money matters and your values, with your ruler, the confident sun, taking a trip through your second house of income. You’ve been in the spotlight recently, as a result of the sun moving through your sign during Libra season, and now, you can take whatever lessons you learned over the past four weeks and apply it to boosting your cash flow. Ask for a better rate on a project you’re psyched about or call a meeting with a higher-up to talk about a potential raise. Acknowledging your worth now can set you up for the payoff you’ve been dreaming of.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Welcome to your season, Scorpio! With the sun moving through your first house of self, your focus is on reimagining and strengthening your personal brand — how you are presenting yourself and getting after the passion projects that keep you up at night because you’re so fired up to see them through. This time of year is particularly conducive to making moves that allow you to make your mark. Your confidence also soars, so it could be a wonderful moment to say exactly what you want — and manifest it into your new reality.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Scorpio season can be a bit snoozy for you, Sag, because the confident sun is moving through your 12th house of spirituality and dreams. You’re less fascinated with the external world and your typical globetrotting adventures and more inclined to get swept away by spiritual pursuits, like meditation and mindfulness. Rest and restoration are key now, so carve out more solo time than usual. Making room for more downtime sets the stage for bigger gains once your season hits.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

While you might have been even more focused than usual on all of the to-dos that could lead to receiving professional recognition during Libra season, Scorpio season brings your attention to team projects, because the confident sun is moving through your 11th house of networking and friendship. During this time, you can more readily join forces with others in order to make a shared vision a reality. Collaborative efforts also help you to feel more supported, connected, and seen by friends and colleagues. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Sure, you love to shake things up, Aquarius, but as a fixed sign, you’re also a creature of habit, too. And although Libra season inspires you to get out of your comfort zone even more than usual, Scorpio season could see you wanting to make an impression professionally. That’s because the confident sun will be moving through your 10th house of career and public image, cranking up your confidence around stepping into the spotlight and leading the charge in order to earn well-deserved recognition from higher-ups. Get clear on what you want to achieve, and nothing will stand in your way.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Scorpio season throws the spotlight on your need to break free of the mundane, Pisces. The confident sun will be moving through your ninth house of adventure and higher learning, so any opportunity to broaden your horizons will be truly satisfying. Now’s your chance to enjoy a long-distance trip, take a cooking class that introduces you to flavors you’ve never tried before, or hone your skill set so you can ultimately advance your career. Let your astute imagination run wild, and you’ll be well on your way to making the most of the season.

TAROT CARD OF THE WEEK:

The Hermit Keywords

UPRIGHT: Soul-searching, introspection, being alone, inner guidance
REVERSED: Isolation, loneliness, withdrawal

The Hermit Description

The Hermit stands alone on the top of a mountain. The snow-capped range symbolizes his spiritual mastery, growth, and accomplishment. He has chosen

Do you need to take a break?

When the Hermit appears it shows that you are taking a break from everyday life to draw your energy and attention inward.

There you will find the answers you seek, deep within your soul. Now you realize that your most profound sense of truth and knowledge is within yourself not in the distractions of the outside world.

This week, the Hermit invites you to retreat within your private world and experience a deep sense of seclusion and introspection.

In his right hand, he holds a lantern with a six-pointed star inside; it is the Seal of Solomon, a symbol of wisdom. As The Hermit walks his path, the lamp lights his way – but it only illuminates his next few steps rather than the full journey. He must step forward to see where to go next, knowing that not everything will be revealed at once. In his left hand, the side of the subconscious mind, The Hermit holds a long staff (a sign of his power and authority), which he uses to guide and balance him.

The Hermit Upright

The Hermit shows that you are taking a break from everyday life to draw your energy and attention inward and find the answers you seek, deep within your soul. You realize that your most profound sense of truth and knowledge is within yourself and not in the distractions of the outside world. You leave behind the mundane to set off on a journey of self-discovery, led only by your inner wisdom and guiding light. Now is the perfect time to go on a weekend retreat or sacred pilgrimage, anything in which you can contemplate your motivations, personal values and principles, and get closer to your authentic self.

The Hermit invites you to retreat into your private world and experience a deep sense of seclusion and introspection. You know that you need to take this journey alone or with a small, intimate group of spiritually minded people. When you allow yourself to tune in to your inner, guiding light, you will hear the answers you need and grow wise beyond your years. Find your light, shine it on your soul and create your unique path. You will see what lies ahead of you – not miles upon miles, but enough to know where to step next. From there, take one step at a time.

The Hermit often appears when you are at a pivotal point in your life and considering a new direction. Through meditation, contemplation, and self-examination, you may begin to re-evaluate your personal goals and change your overall course. You will look at your life with a deeper, more spiritual understanding and a few of your priorities will change as a result.

The Hermit also represents the desire to turn away from a consumerist or materialistic society to focus on your inner world. Have you ever seen (or read) Into the Wild? After graduating from university, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandons his possessions, gives his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhikes to Alaska to live in the wilderness alone. Whilst his story has a tragic ending, his journey into the wild was like that of The Hermit, who seeks answers within and knows they will come only with quiet and solitude.

Finally, The Hermit may appear in your life as a spiritual mentor here to raise your vibration and enhance your consciousness. The beauty of this mentor is that, while he may be an expert in his own right, he will teach you how to find your answers within you.

The Hermit Reversed

The Hermit Reversed can go one of two ways: you are not taking enough time for personal reflection, or you are taking too much. If you struggle to connect with your spiritual self, The Hermit Reversed encourages you to create more space to meditate and reflect. It is time to go deeper into your inner being and rediscover your greater purpose on this earth. You may have been so busy dealing with the day-to-day issues that you have forgotten to listen to your inner voice. The Hermit asks you to search deep within your soul to help you find your way again and focus on rebuilding yourself on a spiritual level.

If you have already been spending a lot of time reflecting on your inner self, then The Hermit Reversed may suggest that you may be taking this isolation thing too far. Are you becoming a literal hermit and cutting yourself off from others? Do not underestimate the value of staying connected with others, even while you are going through your spiritual journey. Be mindful, too, of other people’s needs. You do not want to become so absorbed in yourself and your personal dilemmas that you shut out your family and friends.

In a relationship reading, The Hermit Reversed can indicate unwelcome isolation. For example, one person may want to be alone or withdraw from the relationship, while the other wants to deepen the connection. You will need to respect each other’s request for space but also be there to support as appropriate. Alternatively, the idea of being on your own is so daunting and unappealing at this time that you do everything in your power to stay together. Despite the relationship‘s challenges, neither one of you wants to be apart from each other. It is almost too soon to be apart and you still both want to work things out together. If you have separated, then The Hermit Reversed may show that you are ready to explore a reconnection.

Ask your Tarot cards: What are you illuminating on your spiritual path?

On October 14th, 2023 we have a NewMoon Annular Solar Eclipse at 21° Libra. This is a South Node Eclipse. Are you being fair to yourself? Do you truly vibe with your current choices? Here’s a cosmic truth: Change is always within reach. It’s better to embrace it now than wait a decade. Summon the courage to chase those wildest dreams; you possess the competence to make them a reality. At this powerful Solar Eclipse, we are pressing the RESET button. South Node Solar Eclipses often come with an ending followed by a new beginning.  This invites introspection.  This New Moon solar eclipse offers clarity on the instincts and intuitions that have been gently tugging at your awareness, providing insight into your inner world.

South Node eclipse, means the road to the past is blocked and there’s no turning back. Ancient astrologers considered the North and South nodes of the moon karmic lessons. The South Node represents the past life and what needs to be left behind, while the North Node represents our soul mission.

As a Libra Moon, your emotions and inner life are connected to Venus, the planet of pleasure, love, relationships, and money. Chances are, all those sweet things are easy for you to attract, as you naturally carry a fortunate energy that connects with the concepts of art .  It is a moment to not only appreciate how far you’ve come, but also to confront the impact of past challenges and misfortunes on your personal journey. Embrace this truth: It’s okay if, at times, you look at yourself and see imperfections. Beauty extends far beyond aesthetics. Ugliness is a state of mind, and you hold the power to reshape that perception. Life might have you feeling trapped in a role or career that no longer aligns with your essence. Shifting course can be daunting, especially if you’ve established yourself, but remember, your dreams are worth every risk. As we navigate this eclipse season together, let’s remind the universe of our unstoppable power.

What does the new moon in Libra mean spiritually?

In its highest energy, Libra gives us patience, compassion, and the willingness to understand other people’s perspectives. On this new moon in Libra, it’s important to have some boundaries around your heart, mind, and energy. These boundaries aren’t meant to be harsh to others. They are meant to protect your peace.

New Moons are a time for rejuvenation and manifestation, and if you have a lack in your life, then this is the time to fill it through a new experience, person, or item. We must make space for beginnings and foolish behavior during New Moons. Mind you, we are all fools when beginning something new, so don’t be scared to get experimental.

A New Moon is when the Moon and the Sun meet at the same degree, forming a conjunction. As an astrology practitioner, I’m all about precision because cutting through diamonds is possible. New Moons are for setting intentions and goals to manifest. Take the theme of each New Moon as inspiration to bring forth the best version of yourself

We’re right in the thick of it, and it’s time to stay calm. Eclipse season can feel a bit daunting, like a cosmic roller coaster. While we may not all possess the magical powers to tame this energy, we’ve got what it takes to ride this wave. Enter the Libra New Moon and solar eclipse, a celestial event that’s nudging us to undergo a transformation and look deep within ourselves. Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius, and Aquarius, will have a favorable impact, while the effects may be inauspicious for Libra, Scorpio and Pisces

New moons are already known to amplify emotions, but lunar eclipses are even more potent. These rare events occur approximately twice a year, and they often create shake-ups and shifts that have been building up for some time. The energy is so heightened that it is not advisable to work with it actively.

The reason you’re feeling so tired is because a lunar eclipse literally “eclipses” the power of the moon. As the moon enters the Earth’s umbra—aka it’s crimson-red shadow—it zaps away its vitality and drains the moon of all its magic.

Aries

Aries, in your inner circle, there’s a notable misalignment. Are you surrounded by people-pleasers who sugarcoat things or project artificial auras? Understand that your surroundings mirror your soul. Now’s the time for introspection. Evaluate the vibes you’re emitting and consider cutting ties where necessary. The universe is taking the wheel.

Taurus

Dear Taurus, something’s amiss in your approach to life. It’s as if you know the right path to your wellbeing, yet choose the opposite route. Picture someone buying cigarettes in Europe, acknowledging the health risks, studying the horrifying “smoking kills” warning label (the one with the picture of decaying organs), and still smoking…plus, they have asthma. Bestie, It’s time to align actions with wisdom, for your own sake.

Gemini

Hey, Gemini, you’re playing life’s levels repeatedly, expecting different outcomes. How many times before you realize what’s not working? It’s essential to break free from this cycle, whether it’s an unattainable dream or a toxic acquaintance. The universe beckons you to evolve and let go of fruitless patterns. Life can be a winning game.

Cancer

Cancer, your love for cozy nights at home is understandable, but the cosmos has grander plans. It’s nudging you towards a transformative career phase, even if you’re not a fan of the limelight. This can be your ticket to the next stage of your dream life. Embrace the cosmic spotlight; it’s shining on you for a reason.

Leo

Leo, it’s time for a mental reboot. Old beliefs from your youth may have served you once, but as we approach the New Moon solar eclipse in Libra, it’s time to shed those outdated mantras. Cracking your knuckles isn’t the end of the world, nor is swallowing a piece of gum. Dig deep into your self-talk; negativity might be more prevalent than you think.

Virgo

Respect is a powerful concept, Virgo, but have you defined what it means for you? The universe may push you towards transforming your self-perception and your definition of what’s appropriate. It’s time to scrutinize how respectability politics may have misguided your judgments of right and wrong. Just because it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with ducks!

Libra

Dear Libra, it seems like every horoscope has been zeroing in on you lately. Sorry, but you have at least another year of this soul-releasing, ego-killing energy. On the plus side, you’re undergoing a profound transformation, challenging your once-unshakable truths. You used to be an expert, but the universe is pushing you to prove it. Stay the course; a breakthrough awaits on the horizon.

Scorpio

Ever experienced an inexplicable discomfort? A subtle, recurring sensation that’s hard to decipher? Aches or pains that you can’t explain the cause of? Looming senses that seem somewhat random? This New Moon solar eclipse offers clarity on the instincts and intuitions that have been gently tugging at your awareness, providing insight into your inner world.

Sagittarius

Hey, party animal! It’s time to stop the party substances. Sobriety brings a more grounded perspective, aligning with your evolving values. Embrace the idea of going straight-edge, at least for a while; it might just help you gain a clearer outlook on your healing journey.

Capricorn

As tempting as it is to bury yourself in your career, don’t overlook the importance of your home life. Family dynamics can be complex, but your evolved self can navigate them with kindness and compassion. Show your evolved self at those family gatherings, and you might just win some battles with ~love~.

Aquarius

Caught up in New Age wisdom, Aquarius? College might have bestowed insights, but don’t dismiss the lessons from your parents. I know, parents, ew. Now’s the time to revisit those teachings you once rejected. Think back to those nagging messages that were once nuisances. Explore their wisdom and potential significance in your evolving perspective.

Pisces

Breaking up isn’t always the easy way out, Pisces. Differences in values don’t necessarily warrant disregard. Even if you disagree with someone’s approach to life, respect should transcend your worldview. Open your mind and discover hidden value in places you’ve been eager to avoid.


Are you rich in love, prosperity and joy? Often when we hear about The Law of Abundance, it refers to money. While it certainly does include financial prosperity, it is much more than that. Abundance relates to the state of being consciously connected to our Source Energy.

By the universal laws that govern all of us, abundance is already given. By the grace of Source, it is already ours! However, our experience of abundance is dependent on our particular alignment with it.

Everything is energy, including us. We are always vibrating something. What we focus attention on determines how we are vibrating. By focusing attention on the heart of who we are, our whole being begins to vibrate more expansively.

Then, since like attracts like, we draw to ourselves any and all things that are in sync with this expansive heart energy. We experience an increase in love, light, joy, wellbeing, creativity, exuberance, prosperity, gratitude, and an ever-deepening, awe-filled awareness of who we are.

What Is The Law Of Abundance?

The Law of Abundance is an abiding principle within universal laws. It is the simple fact that there is an unlimited Source of everything we need or could ever want. This great abundance is already ours, infinitely available to all of us all the time.

This and all universes are made of Divine Energy. It is everywhere and in everything. Everything, including us, lives, moves and has its being in this Divine Energy. We are this Divine Energy. It is a live, infinite, sea of love, joy, creativity, and goodwill. Divine Energy is the source of all abundance. It fills all space. The Law of Abundance states that there is nowhere it is not, so there is no lack anywhere, any time. It is equally available to all aspects of itself, which includes you and me.

When we align ourselves with The Law of Abundance then we move in oneness with it. In this oneness the only thing that limits you – beliefs in lack and limitation – fade away. What is left is you! Free, alive, joyful, creative and loving.

New Moon Abundance check writing is a ritual for manifesting, using the energy of the New Moon each month along with Astrology and the house the new moon touches on for you!  This ritual has been handed down through so many people that
its origin has become unknown.

What are Abundance Checks?

Abundance checks are a tool we can use to create more abundance in our lives. They are written within 24 hours after a New Moon.

Surprisingly, you really don’t even need to believe that the check will work when you write it.

You will however be amazed at the results, as you will see increased abundance in your life, in some life area. It is not always financial, but certainly in an area that you need.

Abundance is so much more than ‘money’. Perhaps a friend invites you to lunch and pays.

Perhaps you are at lunch with a friend and they offer their expert advice on some area of your life.

These are simple examples of Abundance. Abundance comes in many forms.
Be GRATEFUL for all that comes into your life.

There is a traditional manner, which has been handed down. If you do not have a checking account you can draw a check on a piece of paper and fill it out the same way – the results will be the same, more abundance for you.
