Overall Themes
Monday through Friday we are reviewing our commitments, our investments. Where are we giving our time, energy, and focus? Are these intentional or just happening because we fell into them? Re-evaluate their impact on your life. Are they contributing to the life you envisioned for yourself at the start of this year or are they taking you off track?
Some commitments might not be panning out as you desired, but the personal discipline or act of remaining is worth the continuation. I’m not recommending abandoning everything that is not working or going as planned. Devotion to an intention or desired outcome is valuable too, even though low valley moments or seasons. Take this week to simply reflect on your decisions. What’s worth it?
Over the weekend, intimacy and its foundational instigator, vulnerability, is up for play. Your desire to connect and be heard, felt, seen, and known will sharpen. As it does, remember the value of your worth and pause before you give. Your heart, your words, your thoughts, your body – treasure these as they should be treasured. You are of God. Divine in the flesh. You are a gift. Not everyone is ready for or going to be respectful of your value. Note who is and who isn’t and let your actions match it. This is a hot sexy weekend… so the pull is going to be strong… prep yourself and know how you want to wisely channel this energy for the beautiful expansion, enriching connection, and/or vulnerable adventure it can be. You are gold, treat yourself as such.
Moon Schedule
August 18th - Moon Moves Into Cancer
Cancer carries our emotions in our chest. Our breast tissue, our lungs, our upper digestion all come into the spot light today and Tuesday. Give these areas some love. Gentle breast massage is so important for healthy lymphatic flow and cancer prevention. I’ve shared this on instagram – I’m such a fan of coating the breasts in iodine topically to keep them healthy, lifted and fibro/cyst-free. For light support, a water-based iodine is lovely. If you have a cyst or fibroadenoma, then painting the entire breast in lugol’s iodine is wonderful! Wait for it to dry before putting on a shirt. Do it in the morning so that you can benefit from the energy boost it will give you. *How quickly the iodine color is absorbed/fades will tell you how badly your body needs iodine. If under 24 hours, you are in a deficit.
August 20th - Moon Moves Into Leo
Leo brings us to the heart. Staying well-hydrated and well-mineralized will be the key these days. These nights are lovely for foot baths with magnesium flakes or gentle head and neck massages to reduce pressure and improve circulation. If you find you’re catching the end-of-summer cold that’s going around, email me for my go-to Immune tonic and Warming Sock therapy that helps clear this stubborn virus quickly and reduce all the congestion in your throat, sinuses, and head.
August 23rd - Moon Moves Into Virgo
Virgo is ALL about the body. Give yourself some deep love here with the full treatment. Eat nourishing food, drink half your weight in ounces of water, go to bed early, wake up with the sun, meditate, and step straight into a yoga flow… let yourself live your best routine and health days. Your efforts on these Virgo moon days will go extra far. You’ll see and feel the benefits deeply!
