Week Commencing July 20, 2020

Find out what to expect from the lunar energies this week with a new moon and the start of a new lunar cycle.

New Moon in Cancer

We begin this week with the moon in Cancer. The Dark Moon continues through Monday before we have the second Cancer New Moon in a row very early on Tuesday morning in Australia (3:32am AEST). The New Moon provides a clean slate and this new moon also gives us a second chance. In setting your intentions for the new lunar cycle look at what you set last Cancer New Moon in June and anything you didn’t accomplish then, you can set again now, and work to improve on those things in this lunation. With Cancer relating to how we give and receive emotional health and security, the themes of this new moon are around how we nurture our emotions as well as those of our loved one.

In setting your New Moon intentions, look at your home life and your relationships and explore what it is that you would love to be, do, have and feel in these areas for the month and beyond. Use the New Moon Mapping ritual in the My Unstoppable Life Journal to really help guide with your New Moon intention setting.

As Cancer is ruled by the Moon and the water element, you could utilise the new moon energy in a warm bath, or even a swim in in the ocean or in a pool at a pinch. If you opt for a new moon bath, then add in the healing and nurturing essential oils of Eucalyptus, Rosemary, and Ylang-ylang to support you.

The new moon will also be a good time to make your home more secure and comfortable and explore what will make you feel secure on an emotional level.

Waxing Crescent Moon in Leo

There will be an energy shift on Wednesday with the waxing crescent moon will be in the playful, creative and outgoing sign of Leo.  Expect to feel energised, and be open to giving in to the urge to have fun and to get social mid-week. Leo also helps us to harness our inner strength and courage to do things that could be a bit scary such as putting ourselves out there in a new way or doing something creative that we might not normally do.

Waxing Crescent Moon in Virgo

After a long Void-of-course Moon from Wednesday morning until Thursday morning, the moon will move into detailed Virgo which is a good time to get organised. This will be the perfect day to focus on your Self-Management self-care pillar, to de-clutter your desk, to do your filing and organise your paperwork, and to catch up on your emails to best harness the Virgo vibes. But don’t let the Virgo moon cause you to overwork yourself especially as the moon waxes and our energy also increases. Take some time for rest and relaxation in your routine too. Diffuse some Lavender Peace to help you to slow down and relax if you find this difficult especially during the Virgo moon.

The Leo sun season also starts on Thursday, so get ready to harness the waxing moon vibes and to feel fired-up and creative. Using the essential oil blend Cheer to really help to uplift you and get you into the sunny Leo frame of mind.

Waxing Crescent Moon in Libra

Over the weekend the waxing crescent moon will move into the sign of Libra. This is when we will enjoy the beauty that we have in our life and is a good opportunity to start things that require our thoughts and to focus on intellectual pursuits. Libra is the sign of partnerships, so this is a good time to make agreements or even to engage in negotiations.

A Libra moon encourages working as team and strives for balance, and the weekend will be a brilliant time to make improvements to your home to beautify it, or to go shopping for new things that will enhance your life to make it not just livable but beautiful too. Use the Beautiful roller blend or make a Libra moon spritz by adding to a 2 ml spray bottle 10 drops of Patchouli, 8 drops Bergamot and 8 drops Ylang-Ylang with 2 tablespoons of witch hazel and topped with water. Spraying this on and around you will encourage you to feel balanced and beautiful on the Libra moon.
