Day 21

Day 21 – And…I’m nervous. As my adventure date approaches, the glow is wearing off and reality is setting in. I have to remember that I want to get out of my comfort zone. I’m choosing that. Traveling alone, not speaking the language, not having many friends there, blah blah blah.

OK, this is my one little life. I wanna live.

Also, there was a new moon last night. Earlier in the week, I had decided I’d set some intentions for myself on this occasion, but instead I set reverse intentions. Sometimes we cling to old, familiar comforts when faced with the challenge to make a leap, then you realize that those old comforts no longer serve you.

Erika reminded me that we’re still in the energy of the new moon, so with my mistake-laden reverse intentions in mind, I’m going to make some new ones!

From the Collective Evolution website I learned that we also had a solar eclipse in Virgo last night. It explains:

This type of eclipse (annular) is commonly referred to as a ‘Ring of Fire’ because when it is in its totality, the Sun’s light forms the lit up edges, appearing as a ring…

Solar Eclipses are very potent New Moons that generally happen every 6 months. Astrologically this is recognized as a time of powerful changes and new beginnings in specific area(s) of our lives. These changes build up in the 6 weeks before and play out during the following 4-6 month period leading up to the next one. However, this upcoming month is when we will see most of the shifts taking place. 

We are encouraged to consider what Virgo-themed changes have been happening in our lives:

How can you make your life more efficient and productive and what is preventing that? What are your counterproductive patterns (and/or habits) and how can you rearrange your lifestyle in order to transcend them? What do you need to do to improve your health and overall well-being? Some people have been experiencing health complications, which is the body trying to get your attention to make positive changes. Pay attention to any signs like that.
