to cut

Incoming: This weekend we have reached a new moon that is asking us to cut away our old out worn comforts to purify our minds to return back to the essence of who we truly are. Take a breath with me, Inhale and exhale. What sustains you? (versus what has only kept you comfortably static). What is quality to you? (versus a poor substitute for quantity). What needs to be removed, refined or trimmed back in your reality?

With Venus and Jupiter both in Gemini we have choices and a variety of options at our disposal. And really this is adding an element of optimism to this new moon so this culling process doesn't have to be a dull or depressing experience. Affirmations and changing/fooling your mindset can work at this time to add a skip to your step and so too can exploring your options rather than obsessing or tunnel visioning. Variety is the spice of life and all that!

Not a bad time to donate old clothes, write down and burn old beliefs or thought patterns (this moon is ruled by the fire god Agni afterall) and also purify what you ingest by cooking more healing meals. Fire in its essence creates both warmth but also burns the dross in our life. Dross is really that which we hoard physically, emotionally or mentally that is excessive or unneeded. 

Stay light (and stay curious),
​Mark :)
