This is the last week of the lunar cycle. As the light wanes, conserve your energy and avoid excessive social engagements. Try taking luxurious baths, going to bed early, and nurturing self-care as much as possible.

We are still in an adjustment phase for this new year.

This is a time to look inwards, integrating lessons and perhaps recalibrating to align your choices with your core values.

This last quarter moon is in Scorpio and can bring eruptive energy, so stay grounded and alert. It will be helpful to keep in mind  all the things and reasons for which you are grateful.

Focus on what you do want, not what you don’t. 

This can be difficult when the world seems so chaotic and uncertain. Take comfort in nature and the consistent rising and setting of the moon.

Draw from your inner resources and be patient.

Surround yourself with loving, select, positive people while indulging in creative pursuits and spiritual practices that will best serve you.

Self-love goes hand in hand with self-acceptance. No one is perfect, and our imperfections make us who we are.

For many years, I proudly strived for perfection until I realized it was fear falsely promising love and safety.

“Being perfect” appears as an illusion of control that never relents and never provides the promised love or safety. 

I am not suggesting we should not strive for better. However, improvement often comes from letting go of perfection. The universe has a better plan, and if we stubbornly adhere to only “our way,” we risk missing it.

If you haven’t already, it is still not too late to create a vision board with images and words cut from magazines. Have you selected a word for this year? Start there.

Stay aligned with your joy compass. Pay attention to what brings you the most joy and do more of that.

Love and light, Goddess.
