Welcome,
This is a sprinkle of cosmic inspiration from me to you this lunar cycle, and what a cycle it is proving to be!
We’ve seen some momentous shifts in the cosmos over March with Saturn, and then Pluto and Mars changing signs. All this, plus the Equinox and a New Moon in Aries has meant that whilst new beginnings are in the air, it might have left some of us feeling a little overwhelmed or unsettled.
The good news is, I’m bringing this to you on the Full Moon in Libra, the perfect time to pause, take a breath and think about ditching the ‘to do’ list!
And, after the high cosmic energy of late, my own endeavours are definitely more inward focused. I’m currently working toward my certification in Hellenistic Astrology, which is a true astrological journey of personal development as well as study. And, very excitingly I’m collaborating with my lovely friend and wonderfully talented contemporary artist Emma Catherine.
Together we are hoping to bring you a magical book by the end of the year. It’s a huge creative process that is proving so much fun! More on that to come…
For news on what the Full Moon in Libra is bringing, an update on my exciting newly launched Cosmically Conscious Package, and some ideas for a springtime moon altar, read on...
A look at the Full Moon in Libra...
The Full Moon in Libra arrives over 5th / 6th April ( depending on where you are in the world) to bring our attention back to our relationships.
Libra energy reminds us of the importance of harmony, balance and peace in both the relationships we have with others and with ourselves.
For example, if you have been people pleasing recently and feel that you have given too much of your energy away, maybe it's time to start refilling your own cup of self-care?
Equally, under this moon it could be a good opportunity to refocus on others to strengthen important connections.
I like this full moon as a chance to reconnect with those we love, or just to come back to ourselves after the recent shifting energies of the planets.
Take a moment, if you can, to exhale, let go of any pressure and reassess the balance of your relationships. Who needs some TLC now? It could be you!
The essential oils that I like to use in my diffuser for complementing Libra energy are rose and geranium for love and balance*. I intend to get this lovely combo wafting around my home in the next few days as I embrace this lunar energy. Rose quartz and Lepidolite, both beautiful crystals, linked to Libra, will also be making an appearance on my moon altar.
Wishing you a wonderful Full Moon!
* Essential oils look small but are mighty and can have potent effects, always read the safety info before using.*
Cosmically Conscious: The Journey has begun!
It has been an absolute joy to start working with my Cosmically Conscious Programme attendees. I met with each of these wonderful women around the time of the equinox to focus on a sense of new beginnings and where the astrology of their birth chart is pointing towards. Here’s a little review I’ve been permitted to share:
“I am very grateful for my wonderful consciously cosmic spring equinox session that I had with you Charlotte! I was excited and intrigued to hear about the planetary influences over the next 3 months. I have ordered my holistic helpers (crystals and oils) and am ready for Mars, Pluto, Saturn and Mercury!!! Bring on the transformation!!! Thanks for all your wisdom and support.”
Working with your birth chart, this package is designed to help you explore what the stars are saying, which can be helpful for personal insight, reflection, and clarity.
It consists of four 1:1 sessions in total, each one 75 minutes, held around the time of an equinox or solstice, so each session anchors us naturally to a magical turning point of the year. I have just three spaces available to join the programme at the summer solstice, so if you’d like more info, please get in touch.
And if you aren’t quite ready to delve into the stars over a year, you can start off with a Birth Chart Explore session, the perfect way to enjoy an initial tour of your natal chart.
Springtime vibes…
I recently changed my moon altar to honour the Spring Equinox. If you are new to the idea of creating a sacred space to honour the season and the lunar cycles, here’s a little glimpse of my spring altar for inspiration. Crystals are a big feature, with my citrine and orange calcite helping to revitalize prosperity and sacral chakra energy, along with fresh flowers for new beginnings and candles to represent the returning light. I have a few altars like this at home that offer me a space to meditate, journal, use my moon phase wax melts, or work with my oracle cards, and I love them! I hope you enjoy creating yours as much as I did mine.
This month I am sending love and lunar light to.... Moon Phase Studios
This month I’d like to give a shout out to my lunar pal Hayley at Moon Phase Studios. You may already be familiar with her beautiful moon phase calendars, which are just awesome! She works tirelessly at her amazing business and has recently just moved into a gorgeous new studio too. She truly deserves every success. If you’d like to find out more, you can check her out HERE.
And hot off the press, I've just confirmed that I'm going to be holding a half day Solstice Moon retreat in Bristol on the 24th June. I'm so looking forward to bringing together a group of likeminded souls to tune into the lunar cycle, honour the solstice energy and indulge in some spa therapy! If you'd like to register your interest, drop me a line.
Until next time, keep your feet on the ground and eyes on the cosmos!
With much love, Charlotte
