Hello, Beloved. The portal is opening... can you feel it? Lion’s Gate is upon us, and with it comes the golden, sacred pulse of 8/8, an invitation to remember who you truly are. This is no ordinary day - it is a threshold, a divine heartbeat between what has been and what is becoming. The radiant Sirius star aligns with the Sun in Leo, and the cosmos speaks in the language of light and infinite possibility. You, my love, are being called into the fire of your becoming. And as if the universe wished to make this moment even more profound, the Full Moon rises just hours later... in the early hours of August 9, at 12:55am Pacific.

So let us meet this moment together, hearts bare and spirits bright.

Let it infuse you. Journal Reflections for Your Sacred Unfolding What dream is rising in me now, ready to be claimed beneath this Lion’s Gate sky? What am I prepared to lovingly release into the moonlight... to make space for the life I was born to live? How might I be more of myself - wild, soft, sovereign, and seen? Rituals to Hold You Choose one... or let your soul lead you into both. 1. The Fire and Flow Ceremony At sunset on 8/8, light a gold candle and write down the fears that have kept your wings tucked in too tightly. Speak to them kindly, then release them into the flame. As they burn, whisper your new truth. When the ashes are cool, offer them to water - a bowl, a river, your garden - and let the earth transmute your prayer. 2. The Solar-Lunar Blessing Place citrine or clear quartz in the sun on Lion’s Gate morning. Let them drink in the solar fire of Leo. That night, under the full moon, lay them out again beneath the stars. This is the marriage of courage and clarity, fire and water, solar power and lunar wisdom.

To speak your truth like poetry, to love like your heart has never been broken, to rise like you have never known fear. And as the Moon shines her wild light into the deep wells of your being, trust this... You are not alone. You are infinitely guided. You are already aligned. With all the light in me mirroring all the light in you, I bow to your becoming. Always in your corner, always in your fire, ps.

Beloved, Today's New Moon in Leo offers an invitation to ignite your boldest truth. Even though she appears dark in the sky, within her shadowed face is the promise of fresh beginnings - an opening for your creativity, confidence, and soulful expression. This is about reclaiming your worth and stepping into the center of your own story... not ego or performance. Theme of Alignment: Radiant Authenticity This New Moon asks: What is your most authentic voice? What spark within you is waiting to be voiced, danced, or shared? Leo energy supports your personal power and generosity of spirit... even when no one is watching. Crystals to Work With Set yourself up for alignment with these luminous stones: Citrine  – A fiery amplifier of self-confidence, clarity, and abundance.

Business Ritual: Creative Launch Ceremony Light a gold or orange candle. Place your stone(s) - citrine or carnelian - nearby. Speak your biggest vision aloud, then watch as the flame carries your declaration into the night. Begin with a simple “yes” to one next step... soft, committed, real. Essential Oils & Herbs Essential Oils : Orange blossom or citrus fusion (for joyful expansion), Geranium (earth-centered empowerment), Frankincense (sacred grounding). Herbs : Marigold (creative bloom), Hibiscus (feminine vibrancy), Rosemary (clarity and focus). Reflective Journal Prompts Let these questions guide your ink: What creativity or joy have I dimmed, and what would it feel like to fully embody it? Where have I held back my voice or light, and what would it take to shine? What intention am I ready to plant now, even if only in seed form? Archetypes for Radiant Becoming These divine figures inspire us to stand true: Freya  – Norse goddess of love, bravery, and creative power. She calls us to claim our desires without shame, to lead with the fierce heart of a warrior, and to honor both beauty and boldness in our pursuits. Hathor  – Egyptian goddess of celebration, sensual expression, and sacred femininity. She invites us to dance, to nourish joy, and to remember that pleasure is a path to power and presence. Sekhmet  – She embodies Leo’s solar fire. She teaches us how to transmute anger or suppression into action and healing. She's about sacred rage  becoming sacred leadership . Sacred Mantra for Leo’s Light “I roar gently from my truth. I radiate creativity and courage.” Repeat under the night sky (or throughout your day) until the vibration settles into your bones. As you plant this moonlit seed, know that its roots will follow where your truest aim is set. This is the energy of radiant authenticity... of being seen, heard, and lived fully. No apologies.

As you soak, visualize fears or doubts dissolving into the water. Place Hematite or Smoky Quartz nearby, and affirm your readiness to focus and follow through. To deepen your reflection during this moon, try journaling with these prompts: Which commitments nourish me, and which feel outdated? How can I bring more focus to what truly matters right now? What vision am I ready to build from a place of love and clarity? And if you’re seeking guidance from sacred feminine archetypes, these three have felt especially present to me... Demeter  - Goddess of harvest and mothering; she teaches us the rhythm of tending and reaping. If you're a wine enthusiast, grab some fresh bread, pour a glass, and savor it as you learn about her! Hecate  - Guardian of crossroads; a powerful presence when choosing a new direction or honoring a transition. Hera  - Queen of the heavens and protector of sacred commitments; she invites us to honor devotion, both to others and to ourselves, as a divine act of sovereignty. Let this simple mantra guide you through this moon cycle: “I build with heart and clarity. My purpose is rooted, real, and radiant.” Say it aloud as you set your altar, as you sip your morning tea, or as you walk beneath the moonlight. Let it remind you that even in the wild energy of midsummer, your inner compass can always find true north. Here’s to recommitting to what matters most... without rush, without apology.

Today is the June New Moon! My schedule was wild today, and I am looking forward to a quiet night to honor the start of a new lunar cycle. New Moon Blessing May this sacred New Moon cradle your intentions with grace. As the sky darkens, may you be reminded that the void is not empty - it is rich with potential.

New Moon Mantras I plant my dreams in sacred soil. I trust the darkness to nourish them. In the quiet, I remember who I am becoming. New Moon Ritual Ideas 1. Wish on a Dandelion Ritual Hold a dandelion puff or a symbolic object (a white feather, a paper star, or even a pinch of herbs). Whisper your wish into it. Feel it take shape in your heart. Then, release it into the wind (or burn it safely, if indoors) as a symbol of surrendering control and trusting divine timing. 2. Candle + Intention Jar Ritual Light a small black candle (for the New Moon) and write down 1–3 soul-aligned intentions on slips of paper. Fold them and place them in a jar with herbs (lavender for peace, rosemary for clarity, or basil for abundance). Each New Moon, revisit the jar, add new wishes, or reflect on those already in motion.

As you move through this evening and into the next lunar cycle, may you feel the quiet hum of possibility stirring beneath the surface. Breathe in trust, exhale doubt.

A Celebration of Light, Life, and the Sacred Feminine On Friday, June 20, 2025, the Summer Solstice arrives at 1:50pm PT / 4:50pm ET, marking the longest day and shortest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. This solar threshold is both a culmination and a beginning - a sacred pause in the wheel of the year when we are invited to bask in the fullness of light, honor what is blooming in our lives, and gather our energy for the second half of the year. Across time and cultures, the Summer Solstice has been honored as a sacred moment. Spiritually, it invites us to: Illuminate what was once hidden, within and around us Expand into our fullest expression Celebrate abundance, growth, and creative power Embody the Divine Feminine in all her radiant, sensual, wise glory This is the season of thriving, blooming, and shining. The fire within and around us is strong. We are being called to live fully awake, to honor the sacred spark of life and let it guide us forward. The sun is often symbolized as masculine, but powerful feminine figures across traditions have long been associated with light, midsummer, and abundance. Here are fierce females you may wish to honor: Amaterasu (Japan) - The Shinto Sun Goddess who brings light back to the world. Her story reminds us that even in times of retreat, we are always worthy of rising and shining again. Sekhmet (Egypt) - A lion-headed solar goddess of transformation, fierce compassion, and healing. She embodies the power of fire to both destroy and purify. Demeter (Greek) - The Goddess of harvest and fertility. Her myth reminds us of cycles, mothering, and the deep wisdom of the seasons. Sulis (Celtic) - A solar goddess linked to sacred healing waters. She merges fire and water, strength and gentleness. Litha (Anglo-Saxon) - The name of the Midsummer festival, often personified as a radiant queen of warmth and life. You may also wish to call in the energy of historical women who embodied fierce feminine fire, such as visionaries, rebels, and healers like Hildegard of Bingen, Sojourner Truth, or Dolores Huerta, whose legacy still burns brightly. Here are soulful, meaningful ways to celebrate this sacred solar turning: Welcome the Sun: Rise early to greet the sunrise or find stillness at sunset. Offer gratitude. Whisper a prayer. Let the light bathe you in blessings. Create a Fire Ceremony : Write down what you’re ready to release - or amplify. Safely burn your words in a fire or candle flame to symbolize your transformation. Decorate Your Altar : Adorn your sacred space with sunflowers, golden candles, citrus fruits, solar symbols, and offerings to summer goddesses. Include herbs like chamomile, calendula, and lavender. Move Your Body wit h Joy: Dance barefoot on the earth, practice sun salutations, or take a slow, mindful walk. Let your body feel the season. Host a Solstice Feast : Share a vibrant, seasonal meal with loved ones. Include fresh berries, garden herbs, and golden-toned foods. Bless your meal with intention. Weave a Flower Crown or Herbal Wreath : Use fresh blooms to create a crown or wreath - symbols of abundance, wholeness, and the feminine cycle. Reflective Journal Prompts Pause and ask yourself... What is blooming in my life right now? Where am I being called to shine more brightly? What am I ready to release or transform as the light begins to wane?

Today, we greet another magical Friday the 13th. This is a date long misunderstood, wrapped in superstition and fear. However, the truth is that this day was once revered as a powerful celebration of the Divine Feminine... of lunar wisdom, sacred cycles, intuition, and inner knowing. (Read more of my thoughts on this day here and here .) In a world that feels increasingly divided, heavy, and disconnected… we are being called back into balance. I know so many people in my Country are craving unity, and the Earth is crying out for restoration. Beloved, it begins with us - in our homes, hearts, and relationships. Friday the 13th is not a curse... It’s a blessing. It's a portal. It's a powerful pause. It ’s a chance to reclaim softness without weakness. To choose compassion without collapsing. To honor the feminine energies of nurturing, collaboration, intuition, and healing, in ALL beings. Let’s rewrite the narrative around this day together. Here are ways you can honor the sacredness of Friday the 13th: Light a Candle for Balance Choose two candles - one representing the masculine (sun/fire) and one the feminine (moon/water). As you light them, set an intention to bring harmony into your own being and your relationships. Create a Divine Feminine Altar Gather symbols of softness and strength: flowers, shells, moonstones, images of women you admire, or items from nature. Let this be a visual prayer for healing. Have a Sacred Conversation at Home Invite your family or close circle to talk about what balance means. Ask questions like: How can each of us honor both strength and softness, structure and flow, action and rest? Play Music that Heals Curate a playlist of songs by women who inspire you. Let their voices guide you back to your heart and your power. (Need ideas? I’ve got a list! ) Write a Love Letter to the Feminine In yourself, in your lineage, in your community. What do you want to honor, reclaim, or heal? Connect with the Moon Tonight Even if you can't see her, the moon is always with us. Step outside, close your eyes, and breathe. Ask what she wants you to remember today. Scroll through the blog and invest time preparing one of the sacred rituals... Beloved, healing starts with us. We don’t have to wait for the world to change. We are the ones who start the ripple. When we reclaim the sacred, we change the narrative. So today, on this beautiful Friday the 13th, let’s soften. Let’s remember. Let’s heal. Let’s call in wholeness for ourselves, our homes, and the collective. Blessed Friday the 13th, Sacred One. May your day be full of love, ritual, and remembrance.

This month's Full Moon, known as the Strawberry Moon, will grace us in the wee hours of the morning on Wednesday, June 11th. She will rise all evening and reach her height at 12:44am Pacific Time.

Eat the strawberry slowly, savoring the sweetness as a symbol of what you’re calling in. Firelight Celebration Circle Light a fire (or a candle) outdoors under the moonlight.

On Monday, May 12, 2025, the Full Flower Moon in Scorpio graces the sky, reaching its peak at 12:56 p.m. This moon’s energy will be potent and visible from Sunday, May 11, through Tuesday, May 13 - giving us a beautiful three-day window to honor her deep, mysterious glow. The Flower Moon represents abundant blooming, yet this year’s Scorpio influence invites us not just to admire the blossoms, but to tend to the soil of our soul. Scorpio, a sign of emotional depth, transformation, and rebirth, calls us inward. It’s time to release what’s wilting within so we can nourish what’s ready to bloom.

Shadow Soaking Ritual What you need:  A bath or foot soak, dried or fresh sage, lavender or rose petals, 10 drops of vetiver or patchouli essential oil, and a black candle. How to do it: Light the black candle to represent your inner flame of truth and resilience. Add the sage, lavender or rose petals, and essential oils to warm water. As you soak, imagine the water drawing out heavy emotions, limiting beliefs, and outdated stories — all dissolving and being transmuted by the Earth. Whisper or reflect:  “What am I ready to transmute? What weight no longer belongs to me?” Allow the steam and scent of sage to cleanse your energetic field, bringing you back to your center. 2. Fire Release + Flower Offering What you need : Small fire-safe bowl, paper, pen, dried cedar or sage, and a few fresh flowers. How to do it : Write down a pattern or belief you’re ready to release.

For the poets out there, you may choose to write or read a poem to deepen your connection with the energy of the Pink Moon.  This one was written to honor the magic of Roses and Nasturtiums… symbols of heart-healing and courageous renewal, and to celebrate the Peruvian Lilies blooming in the garden, beloved by both my grandfather and my mama. Their presence feels like a blessing from beyond, a reminder that we are always surrounded by love as we let go, begin again, and bloom. Here is mine: Fire and Flower Offering   A Pink Moon Poem of Renewal Roses bloom with whispers sweet, Carrying secrets from hearts complete. Nasturtiums blaze in fearless light, Calling our courage into the night. Peruvian lilies gently sway. Echoes of ancestors guide my way. Their petals whisper stories, ancient and pure, Their wisdom a light, steady and sure. With every flame, I set down the past, With every flower, I rise at last. The garden listens, the moon aligns… My soul, like spring, reclaims its signs. I bloom in balance. I open. I shine. Journal Prompts for Alchemical Reflection Set aside quiet time, light a candle, and write with curiosity - leave judgment behind. What emotional truth am I finally ready to face and honor?

Divine Feminine Archetypes to Explore These powerful beings offer guidance through emotional depth, personal alchemy, and spiritual awakening: Lilith : An ancient figure of sovereignty and shadow integration, Lilith invites you to reclaim your power, embrace your wholeness… including the parts once shamed or silenced, and stand fully in your truth. She is ideal for this moon’s call to face hidden aspects of self with fierce grace. Inanna : The Sumerian goddess of love, war, and the underworld, Inanna’s myth of descent and return mirrors the Scorpio journey: moving into the depths, surrendering what no longer serves, and emerging reborn. She teaches us how to let go with dignity and rise with power. Saint Teresa of Ávila : A mystic and spiritual reformer, Teresa’s writings speak of divine ecstasy and inner transformation through contemplation. She embodies the beauty of emotional surrender and spiritual rebirth through communion with the sacred. Take some time this week to learn about the woman whose story resonates with you!

May this full moon guide you into the sacred alchemy of your becoming. Wrapping you in love and divine moonbeams, Photo by Joseph Bradshaw  on Unsplash

The arrival of the Spring Equinox marks a sacred turning point - when light and dark find their perfect balance, inviting us to do the same. Nature awakens, buds unfurl, and the days stretch longer, offering us an opportunity to shed the heaviness of winter and step into the promise of renewal. A Time of Rebirth and Balance  The word "vernal" translates to "new" and "fresh," while "equinox" comes from the Latin "aequus" (equal) and "nox" (night). This celestial event reminds us that equilibrium is possible - not just in nature, but in our own lives. From this day forward, light will outshine darkness, mirroring the inner work we’ve done through the winter and calling us to embrace the momentum of new beginnings. Many cultures have honored this transition with celebrations, rituals, and sacred observances. From the Celtic festival of Ostara to the Christian Easter, from the return of Persephone in Greek mythology to the renewal themes of Passover, this time has always symbolized resurrection, fertility, and the stirring of potential. Honoring the Season with Rituals Welcoming the Spring Equinox can be as simple or elaborate as you feel called to make it. Here are a few ways to celebrate: Declutter & Clear Your Space  – Just as nature shakes off winter’s slumber, take time to refresh your home, clearing out stagnant energy and creating space for growth. Plant Intentions Alongside Seeds  – Whether in a garden or a simple pot, write your goals and dreams on small slips of paper and bury them beneath seeds. As they grow, so too will your intentions. Fire Ceremony for Release & Renewal  – Write down what you wish to leave behind with winter’s passing and burn it, allowing the flames to transform old energy into fertile ground for what’s next. Connect with the Elements  – Walk barefoot on the earth, breathe in the crisp spring air, listen to the stirring of birds and bees, or bathe in the golden light of the sun. Meditation & Journaling  – Reflect on what you are ready to cultivate in this new season. Use prompts like: What dreams have been incubating in the winter that I am ready to bring to life? What areas of my life need balance and attention? What limiting beliefs or patterns am I ready to release? Stepping Forward with Intention This is a season of initiation, creativity, and awakening. It asks us to embrace the fire within, step forward boldly, and trust in life's rhythms. As we align with the wisdom of the equinox, may we find harmony within ourselves and with nature's cycles. Let’s breathe in renewal, exhale old energies, and move forward with clarity, courage, and joy. How will you honor this sacred shift? Share your traditions, reflections, and dreams for the season ahead!

The Full Blood Crown Moon Eclipse on March 13, 2025, at 11:55pm PT is a powerful moment of transformation, acceleration, and awakening. Blood Moons (total lunar eclipses) have long been viewed as omens of great change, feared and revered across cultures. But their true wisdom lies in their ability to strip away illusions, reveal deeper truths, and propel us toward our soul’s evolution. This eclipse brings a potent mix of cleansing, recalibration, and awakening. It asks us to integrate divine order and sacred chaos, refining our path while surrendering to the mysteries of transformation. Theme of March's Full Blood Moon Eclipse: Metamorphosis This eclipse will shake loose stagnant energy, forcing us to face what is out of alignment. Expect profound revelations, emotional clearing, and shifts that set the stage for rebirth. This is not a time to resist change. This is a time to t rust the cosmic course corrections unfolding. Whether an external event shakes your world or an internal awakening ignites within, this eclipse fast-tracks your transformation. Crystals for Transformation and Grounded Awakening To anchor yourself through the intense energy of this eclipse, work with: Carnelian  – Activates passion, motivation, and creativity and supports the sacral chakra. Moss Agate  – Balances emotions while promoting deep healing and grounding. Labradorite  – A powerful crystal for spiritual awakening and protection, enhancing intuition, and guiding us through transitions. Sacred Rituals to Honor the Full Blood Moon Eclipse 1. Fire Release Ceremony Eclipses illuminate what is ready to be released. Write down anything you are prepared to let go of - limiting beliefs, old patterns, or emotional wounds. Burn the paper safely in a fireproof dish, releasing the energy into the universe. As the smoke rises, breathe deeply and repeat: "I release what no longer serves me. I trust the path unfolding before me." Add rosemary or bay leaves to the fire to enhance this ritual. These herbs are of purification and transformation. 2. Womb & Sacral Chakra Blessing Since the Moon is deeply connected to the feminine, the womb, and creation, this eclipse is a potent time to honor your creative and emotional power. Light a red or deep orange candle, anoint your lower abdomen with clary sage or jasmine essential oil, and place a Carnelian crystal on your sacral chakra ( located below the navel) . Meditate, breathe deeply, and visualize a warm, golden-red light radiating from your center, igniting your personal power. Reflective Journal Prompts for the Eclipse Portal Create a sacred space to sit with these questions and let the answers flow from you... What transformation is unfolding in my life, and how can I surrender to it with trust? What outdated beliefs or habits am I being called to release?

Divine Feminine Archetypes for the Blood Moon Eclipse This is a sacred time to connect with powerful feminine archetypes who embody transformation, healing, and wisdom: Hecate  – The Greek goddess of crossroads and shadow work, guiding us through transitions and helping us trust the unknown.
