Sometimes closure is hard because we don’t know we haven’t done it. We stand there saying goodbye without ever closing the door and walking away. Talk about mixed messages. Each one of us are responsible for our own part of letting good bye mean this is over.

We wrap up 2017 with the theme of cutting cords or if you prefer, closure. As the new moon travels through flirty Sagittarius, we too will want to leave on a good note. I hear it many times over, always leave them laughing or wanting more.

Closure is one of the most sought after practices once the final curtain is upon us or the situation. We all need to “call it” for ourselves, so we can stop thinking we can resurrect the situation. For me, it’s about self-preservation, moving on and letting the past be where it belongs, in my past.

The moon is going dark in the sign of Scorpio on November 18th. When this happens, you have very little choice but to go within and do some soul searching. If you do it with the right attitude, you may come out with a fresh perspective on life and your role in it.

We’ve just experienced the veil thinning and I hope you were able to feel the love your spirit guides and ancestors have for you. They are the tireless cheer leading squad that sings, when you fall down, just get up again, we believe in you.

At Coventry, this is not just a gimmick but part of the recipe. We watch the lunar progression through the celestial bodies of the zodiac and schedule our candle production accordingly. Why do we do that, you ask? It’s because the moon influences our planet so intimately it can affect the outcome of our day-to-day lives.

The power behind your thought is passion. When you’re positively passionate about your work, it’s beautiful. When you are negatively passionate about your work it’s tragic. It’s still beautiful, even though its beauty comes through surviving pain. If you don’t have any passion your thoughts don’t go anywhere.

Yay, the new moon is upon us and in the sign of Libra. Balance is the secret of a successful life, for it’s when we live life in balance we are able to endure the journey. It’s a long and hard road at times and if we burn out, game over before we’ve accomplished something.

As the full moon rises in the sign of Aries on October 5th I’m inclined to ask, “What’s your style of magic? Are you making the most of it? Aries people are energetic, forceful and outgoing. They are climbers of cliffs and all that gets them to higher altitudes after all.

A new moon is our opportunity to begin again. In our theme of getting back to basics, I am reminded of clutter and the obscenity of it all. If having too much stuff is stressing you out and cluttering your mind, it’s time to make your three piles.

Ever feel like you are drowning in intellectual property? There are times my brain just screams, stop, stop, stop. That’s when I need a mental vacation before my nerve endings start to smolder. On September 6th the Pisces moon understands that and will show us how to have productive check out times so our brain can process all we’ve given it so it can rest.

Being a creative magician takes courage, a bit of flair and knowing what you are going for. Absorb the energy of the August new moon as you build up your mettle to manifest. Leo the lion will help you tap into your inner resources because you’ll need a strong and focused will too.

August 2017 begins the celebration of twenty five years of being in the business of helping people improve themselves and their life. Soon you will be inundated with 25 of this and 25 of that. All of it will be entertaining, eye opening and just plain amazing.

Leo the lion is king of his pride and territory. His job is to keep other lions from coming in and breaking up the family and he uses his loud voice to set his boundaries. This new moon on July 23, 2017 you will be feeling the need to voice your opinion about what is important to you.

Our theme for July is creating healthy boundaries and it’s about time. Many of our problems just melt away when we learn how to develop and execute a healthy boundary. Here at Coventry we call it staying in your own tea cup.

Cancer is the sign of nurturing, protecting and sustaining. This is exactly what we need when we are faced with a life change. It doesn’t matter if it was planned or completely unexpected, we all have our feelings about change. Like the crab, seek shelter when you’ve become overwhelmed with all the new information and feelings bombarding you.

Everyone knows that change is a part of life and it is undeniably a powerful teacher. We really can’t ignore the lessons that change and transition brings to us. Of course there are times we rail against them, shake our fist, pull our hair and pound on pillows because they are not what we want.

Transition is the process in which something changes from one state to another. Our state of being is transitory. Rarely are we completely stagnant. Something about us is always in process. It could be as deep as a change of mind or as superficial as a change of clothes.

The Scorpion Moon will show us how it’s done when it comes to being an empowered individual. No other zodiac sign goes more deeply in the psyche and roots around in the back of the Akashic closets than this one. Because of the influence of Scorpio on the full moon we will not become empowered because we’re smarter, or prettier or wealthier.

I’m of two minds when it comes to talking about personal power. That’s what happens during a new moon in Gemini. We get an opportunity to look at both sides of the coin and compare the two perspectives. I caution you to be careful and don’t get tricked into undoing something beautiful.
