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.

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.

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.

Counteracting feelings of being overwhelmed with a Taurus new moon is an exercise in adoring everything about being alive on such a beautiful and bountiful planet. It’s about reveling in the pleasures of life and all the comfort and beauty available for us by relaxing into the idea that this can come easy.

Libra is about balance and the full moon on April 10th wants to reintroduce us to it. Especially for those of us who are feeling overwhelmed. So much is going on in our world, and is continuing to escalate. Who is responsible for this mess? We are.

Full moon in Virgo on March 12, 2017

We can all take a page out of the Virgo’s book on getting it right when it comes to living an abundant life. If any sign understands how to approach prosperity in a methodical well planned way, it’s Virgo.

Did you start your vision board? Did you introduce yourself to Shri-Lakshmi? The month of “Prosperity as a way of life” is not over yet. The new moon in Aries on March 27, 2017 will give you the kick in the butt you need if you’ve been dragging your feet.

February is when we honor Dorothy Morrison. We all love Dorothy for all the ways she helps us, and the ways she does it with the kind of humor that crosses all cultures. I know this because I’ve seen people from all walks of life, chuckle, and giggle or nudge their friend with that smile and nod when they read the labels on the Wicked Witch Mojo Candles.

Take a tip from Dorothy Morrison and let your charmed life include being generous, understanding, and tolerant of others with a touch of Come to Mama

We have a new moon in Pisces during our month of creating a charmed life.

t’s harder to paddle the boat in a stormy sea and we waste a lot of energy trying to make a difficult situation better by fighting it. The Cancer moon on January 12th invites us to check our emotions with an Inner Balance Blessed Herbal Candle and see where we are making things harder on ourselves because we are being, stubborn, resentful, impatient, or willful.

We’re one big dysfunctional family and by god we are still going to make it.

The Aquarian new moon on January 27th is not reflecting any of the sun’s light to us and we may feel our own dark sides emerging.

This month we are focusing on generating happiness. With the full moon in Gemini on the 14th, you can expect to want to want to talk about it too. Talking about what makes you happy will make you happy. I challenge you to get with friends or family and celebrate each other by telling good time stories.
