The Cancer New Moon is tomorrow, and it feels like an invitation to come home to yourself.

With Mercury retrograde in Cancer too, this is a beautiful time to slow down and let your emotions communicate with you. Rather than pushing forward, you might explore what it feels like to turn inward, notice what your body has been holding, and make a little space for honesty.

A calm bath, some water sounds, a journal, and a few supportive ritual tools can go a long way tonight. Moonstone, myrrh, and marshmallow root all feel especially aligned with this lunation, especially if you’re craving something soft, protective, and receptive.

I also wanted to share something personal with you. I changed my name to Allie to mark how much I have changed, and to give my teenage self the nickname she always wanted.

There may be something happening beneath the surface of your thoughts right now. Not a problem to solve — more like a feeling that keeps returning, a quiet voice that gets louder whenever you stop moving long enough to hear it. This is the invitation of the New Moon in Cancer, arriving July 14, 20...

Tonight is the Full Moon in Capricorn — June 29, 2026 — and it's one of the most grounding lunations of the year.

Capricorn's invitation isn't to achieve more. It's to look clearly at what you've already built and ask whether you're carrying it sustainably. This moon rules the bones, the joints, the architecture of endurance — and it tends to show up as tension in the knees, the tendons, the jaw. The places where we hold what we haven't let go of yet.

Tonight's ritual centers on garnet for structural grounding and a warm earth bath to help the nervous system shift out of the sustained effort it's been holding.

There are also five journaling prompts in the post — including one about which of your current projects are truly aligned with your values, and what might be ready to be pruned or restructured.

Read the full post:

There is a particular kind of exhaustion that doesn't come from doing too little. It comes from doing too much — for too long — without stopping to ask whether any of it was actually yours to carry. Maybe you feel it in your shoulders. In the dense, almost mineral weight at the base of your spin...

The Full Moon in Sagittarius feels less like seeking and more like remembering.

We just moved through Ta**us season, where we were guided back into our bodies and into the wisdom of our senses. Now Sagittarius is asking: what if you took that awareness and expanded into it?

Not by escaping your life, but by experiencing it more deeply.

This lunation is an invitation to:

-Say yes to something that stretches you

-Engage your senses more fully in ritual and in daily life

-Let your wisdom come from your own direct experience

For your ritual, consider:

Holy basil to support gentle, Jupiterian expansion

Sodalite or amazonite for clarity and truth

Cedarwood or my Abundant Truth blend to anchor you as you reach for more

If you’re feeling this energy, I wrote a new blog on the Sagittarius Full Moon, Jane Austen and expanding through the sensual experience of life.

What insights have you received from this truth-filled full moon?

The Full Moon in Sagittarius: Expanding Through the Senses I find myself thinking of Jane Austen during this time. Her writing didn’t shape the world because she studied it from afar—it was because she immersed herself in it. She paid attention. She translated her lived experience into something...

Connection cannot be forced. If it is it feels performative.
It happens when the nervous system feels safe enough to receive.

As a neurodiverse woman, I’ve learned that ritual isn’t optional—it’s essential.

The way I light my space, the scents I choose, the music, the movement, the way I touch my body… all of it signals safety to my system.

And from that place, I can actually connect—
with myself, with others, with the Divine.

I see myself as a priestess in this way—
not only performing ritual, but preparing the space for connection.

We’re about to enter a Ta**us New Moon on Saturday, a time deeply rooted in safety, security, and the sensory experience of being human.

This is a powerful moment to ask:
What kind of environment helps my body feel safe enough to open?

You don’t need to copy anyone else’s ritual.
You get to create your own.

One that feels grounding.
One that feels meaningful.
One that your nervous system can trust.

That’s where true connection begins. ✨

There is a quiet truth I’ve come to honor in my body: connection cannot be forced. Not with the Divine. Not with others. Not even with ourselves. Connection emerges when the nervous system feels safe enough to receive. In recent years, neuroscience has helped us understand something ancient tradit...

The Scorpio Full Moon on May 1st doesn't come to comfort us. She comes to illuminate — the shadows, the inherited stories, the energetic contracts we've been carrying that were never truly ours. 🌕♏

Here are some tools that could be useful for this coming full moon:
-Obsidian to see what's real.
-I Am Powerful oil to reclaim your sovereignty.
-Agarwood to sanctify the release.

Full ritual guide on the blog

On May 1st at 11:23 AM Mountain Time, the Full Moon rises at 11° Scorpio — and she is not here to be gentle. This is the first of two full moons we will experience in May, which makes this already a deeply charged month energetically. Two full moons in one calendar month means we are being given ...

There is still time to register and she will be sending out a recording for a limited time!

There's an ancient part of your brain that's been quietly running the show your entire life.

It's called the limbic system — and in medical astrology, it's governed by the Moon.

The limbic system is real, researched neuroscience. It's where your amygdala sounds the alarm before your mind can catch up. Where your hippocampus weaves scent and sensation into memory. Where your hypothalamus regulates your sleep, your hunger, your hormones — your cycles.

Sound familiar? The Moon governs cycles too.

When you understand your Moon sign, you're not just reading a birth chart. You're getting a map to the most primal, emotional, feeling part of your brain — and learning how to speak its language.

Scent. Touch. Warmth. Ritual. Rhythm.

Swipe through this carousel to meet the three structures inside your limbic system — and leave with a somatic practice for each one.

And if you want to go even deeper — we created a free Lunar Guide to the Limbic System just for you. Grab it through the link in the comments. 🌙

Save this post to come back to it, and drop your Moon sign in the comments — I'd love to get to know you better!
