New Moon in Virgo – Why we Should Stop Aiming for Self-Love

Last week we talked about self-criticism, which is the number one cliché for Virgos. As we are approaching the new moon in Virgo on Thursday this week, I’d love to talk about self-love in respect to self-criticism.

Full Moon in Pisces – Be Grounded and Believe in Magic to Fulfill Your Dreams + Mercury Retrograde

The last week was intense, especially around Wednesday and Thursday, when the moon was in Scorpio. Did you feel it? I felt everything at the same time.

Enjoy the Magic of Virgo, The Ancient Sage of Nature, and Accept Your Rhythm During Mercury Retrograde Pre Shadow

I love this time of year in North Carolina. The temperatures move perfectly between 65 at night to 85 in midday. The leaves have started falling occasionally, and best of all, the mushroom season has begun. Coming here from Israel, where there is barely any rain, I hadn’t experienced this beautiful festival of nature, with mushrooms …

Sun in Virgo, New Moon in Virgo – Learn to Work Constructively with Your Self-Critic
