Week Commencing August 24, 2020
*times and days are in AEST
The Moon will continue to wax this week, which means we should be feeling pretty productive. Aligned with the Virgo Sun season and Mercury also in Virgo, our logical, organised minds will certainly play a strong role- just be sure not to strive for too much perfectionism and to maintain balance and minimal stress.
Waxing Crescent Moon in Scorpio
The week begins with the Moon in transformational and intense Scorpio. With the Moon here, we may feel the need for deep connection with our spouse or loved ones, so focus on your Relationships Self-Care Pillar. Don’t be afraid to let down any barriers you may have put up and allow for some vulnerability to be exposed if need-be. Use the essential oil blend ClaryCalm which encourages warmth in relationships and helps to stabilise any imbalances emotionally. Either inhale the aroma or apply it over the lower stomach to activate the sacral chakra or apply on your wrists
First Quarter Moon in Sagittarius
On Wednesday the Moon will shift into the First Quarter Moon phase in philosophical and adventurous Sagittarius. While the Moon is in this sign, it is a good time to keep up positive momentum on any projects you’re working on in your business, particularly your marketing, or do your social media planning and prepping to really harness the Sag vibe. It might also be good to heed the call to do any study or learning that’s on your agenda to keep your mind stimulated and feeling inspired. If you are feeling a bit stifled, or if you are stuck in lock-down, move your body mid-week in whatever way feels fun and free.
This Sagittarius First Quarter Moon will want us to explore the deeper meaning to things and to consider what are our values are. Drawing upon the themes of the Leo New Moon last week, you might also want to harness the First Quarter Moon energy to do some more learning about yourself and your fears, patterns and beliefs and to tap into your self-esteem and self-belief. Get out your journal and look at how you can expand your current beliefs and do things from outside your comfort zone. Explore what it is that you’re afraid to do or try and think about how you can grow, transform and expand your life.
You might like to try this diffuser blend to really get into the Sagittarius Moon vibe: Lime, Peppermint and Rosemary. The Peppermint will bring joy and help to invigorate you body, mind and spirit; Lime will help to bring cheerfulness and open the heat space and bring balance between the heart and the mind; while Rosemary will help with learning and aid in expansion of the mind when learning new things, whether they are about ourselves or the wider world around us.
Waxing Gibbous Moon in Capricorn
On Friday the Waxing Gibbous Moon will move into responsible and ambitious Capricorn. The Capricorn energy is often one where we can feel overloaded and over-whelmed by all the thing we have to do, so be mindful not to be overly-ambitious with your to-do list and focus on the self-care pillar of rest and relaxation over the weekend.
There is no point in being a workaholic and not having the capacity to be fully you- it’s just as important to work at keeping your emotional tank full too. This might mean making the most of the weekend to get social and spending time with friends to let-loose if things are feeling too tense. A nice oil to work with would be Tangerine which encourages joy and uplifted feelings when we are over-burdened. It can also be great to help allow opportunities to be creative and have some fun and spontaneity.
Waxing Gibbous Moon in Aquarius
On Sunday the Waxing Gibbous Moon will move into unconventional and humanitarian Aquarius. Be sure to stay grounded while the Moon is in this airy sign, practicing mindfulness and earthing your feet into the Earth, the perfect thing for Self-Care Sunday. You might also feel called to get social and to connect on an intellectual level with some like-mined friends. Work with the Balance blend to stay connected to the mind and body as well as grounded to the Earth, and to stay in the moment with inner strength and perseverance.
