The new moon is in Cancer, which can only mean one thing, shiz is going to get EMO. Here’s your New Moon reading from the SASSY SHE founder Lisa Lister for the Spiritual, Authentic, Sensual, Sensational YOU…
:: TRUTH ::
You are being asked to pay attention to where you might not be showing up authentically, where you’re playing down what you really think at the risk you might upset others, and when you may be saying one thing, yet feeling something completely different. So how do you know what’s true and what’s not? Feel it in your body. When faced with any situation where you’re worried you’re not being true to yourself, let your heart and gut (your home of truth and power) guide you.
Place one hand on your heart, the other on your solar plexus and take in a deep breath through your nose, let it pass through your heart and all the way down in your belly. Hold the breath for five, and then let the breath rise slowly, allow it to be filtered through your heart and release through your mouth. Do this five times. This practice is a perfect way for you to FEEL your truth and allow you the time and space you need before saying things simply for the benefit of others.
:: HEALING ::
As the new moon is in Cancer, emotions are running high! You may be arguing more with a partner or colleague, you might cry unexpectedly at an advert on the TV, or a relationship that you thought was super-solid may come to an end. Although it might not feel like it while you’re riding the emo wave, know that whatever has shown up is here to offer you a major opportunity to heal. Self-care is SO important right now, hold onto your rose quartz for dear life, and dance or move your body to shake loose any anger or frustration.
Water is my cure-all for everything – sweat, the sea, tears – let this element be present this moon cycle and totally trust that what you’re experiencing is part of a process that needs to happen for you to grow and transform, because seriously good shiz is about to go down, and you need to be ready! (If emotions get high, I really recommend an epsom salt bath, whisper what you want to let go of into the water you’re bathing in, and when you take out the plug let those emotions and neggo thoughts dissipate down the plug hole along with the water. So healing.
:: FORTUNE ::
I LOVE this card! Whenever it appears in a reading I tell the person I’m reading for to make a wish – so I’m asking you to do the same, but instead of a wish, set an intention for yourself in the moon cycle ahead. Let it be bold, daring + courageous and know that for every step you take, the Universe, SHE, will take two more. When you’re in true heart and gut alignment, when you allow for any emotional gunk to be fully cleansed, you clear space for some real manifesting magic to occur. So what do you really want? What are your needs and desires? Dare to declare, sister!
Here are some extra tools to guide you on your SHE Quest this moon cycle…
Red Jasper: this crystal manifests new ideas and it’s energy brings focus and self-mastery. Oh yeah.
Rose Quartz: the symbol of unconditional and universal love, get a palm size piece that you can hold onto when you need to show yourself the very biggest kind of love – self-love.
Chinese fortune cat: this is a talisman to attract good luck and fortune for the moon cycle ahead.
Sound chimes: my favourite way to heal and to change up any kind of energy is a sound bath. You can use chimes, you can use a drum or you can put Tay Tay on full blast in your headphones and sing ‘Bad Blood’ at the top of your voice. For hours. And hours…
