“New & Full Moon Energy … Can’t Sleep!”

Question
“Good morning, Ellen. I am just reading your Facebook post from yesterday about the New Moon in Scorpio. I did not sleep a wink last night. I am a mess. I usually sleep fine. This has happened two nights now in the last week. I am guessing it has to do with some of the energy I am currently feeling but wanted to reach out and see if you have any insight on this. I hope you are well.”

Answer
“Yes, the energy can be felt more intensely if aspects in your birth chart align with the new/full moon signs. New Moon in Scorpio … and you’re a Scorpio, right? So you’re more likely to ‘feel’ this one. Sometimes it means we are needing to further integrate the themes which are being highlighted or played out by the new/full moon energy. You’re experiencing some sort of ‘awakening’ process around those themes, and how they show up in your life.

“The laying awake at night really sucks; I can attest to that too. At new/full moon, I place a large piece of moonstone under my pillow at night; and sometimes carry a smaller stone in my pocket during the day. Google moonstone’s symbolism and applications. If you’d like to buy a piece, stop by Cast A Stone in Abington, or The Village Silversmith in Salem, if you happen to travel north; both have online ordering, too, and Village Silversmith is pretty extensive.

“If you’d like to take it a step further, consider a reading with an astrologist … I’d be happy to recommend someone local. Hang in there, and I hope you can get some quiet time or a power nap today!”

Now More Than Ever … Be Who You Are

Everyone must contribute in his or her individual way — in order to effect the desired changes. So, do what you’re good at, right? Make an individual contribution. That’s the easiest way to help out.

Take a look at your strengths. Who are you? How do you stand out? What could you offer toward balancing the cause — this Cause?

Be Who You Are in this — your most genuine form.

Ask Yourself …

Some aspects of Self — the emerging ones — the “big ones” or life-changing ones especially — take a lot of nurturing — a lot of coaxing up and out. From our inner depths. For they’re the ones closest to our hearts. We guard them fiercely. Treasure them the most.

Go into meditation — 10 minutes daily, if that’s what you have — and ask yourself what’s ready to step forward. What would this part of yourself like to say? What is it ready to reveal? What does it sound like? Familiarize yourself with this voice. Encourage it to speak.

In Order To Move Forward …

In order to bypass the ego — perhaps the biggest mental block there is — and let’s make that the biggest existing block to balance within body, mind and spirit in general — you must desire at least a small amount of change. And at least be willing to try.
