You are having an opportunity to clear unneeded responsibilities and old karma.

The Full Harvest Moon (Native American) at 17* Pisces will culminate September 10, 2022 2:59am PST/ 5:59am EST (Farmers Almanac).
This Pisces Moon has asked us to quiet down and come back into our deeper self. Whether it be relaxing more, finding a hobby or reducing the worry, we are to find time for ourselves and reactivate. We’ve been in a fast paced world and being pulled in all directions. We are to look intently at what are blessings have been and be in gratitude. Even all the hard lessons, note what is good and kept you steady.
We have descendants, associates, or acquaintances who rose to help or squelch us. We sometimes lose our way, we’ve been trying to keep up with “what” “why” or “who”. We can sometimes feel unprepared in dealing with others addictive traits or neurotic patterns. Our self-esteem plummets low on the scale when others bring us into their idiosyncrasies, and our confidence is shattered time and time again. Love can evade us or takes us on merry rides, we have to get back on track. Find time for simple pleasure, take baths, meditate, get a massage, silence our minds, draw, paint, do alone things. Get yourself a good book or write in your journal. No complaining, only solutions and your genuine desires and goals. No need to reflect at this time. You’re being asked to search for your peaceful place, to find rejuvenation, to count and recount your blessings. You’re getting ready for a brighter future and to master the goals you set before yourself.

The Full Sturgeon Moon (Native American) at 19* Aquarius will culminate, August 11, 2022 6:36PM PdT/9:36PM EdT (Farmers Almanac).
This Full Sturgeon Moon is about being proactive and making “headway” toward achievement. It even suggests some competitive action, not so much with others as with yourself. Find solutions. We all need to work smarter not harder. Winning can be as easy as reigniting your curiosity and passion.
Comprehend who you are and what you need:
Are you doing the same thing over and over and ending up with the same result. How can you change and gain. You can be faster, smarter, and regain an enthusiasm when combining related skills. What is your outlook and insight. You don’t have to be the best but you can begin to be. It only takes a couple more minutes to do something right.
2. Giving credit where it’s due:
We all don’t win by thinking we are alone and can do anything and everything. To succeed we must trust ourselves and learn to be open toward others for inspiration or learning. If someone seems more accomplished than you, maybe they can lead you toward expansiveness and growth. Learn something new. Remember to be in gratitude and Thank others along the way and give yourself a pat on the back.
3. Grow more confident:
There is nothing to fear but fear itself. When you are willing to do things at a higher level and do your best. You are connecting with a deep understanding on how the world works and how you are playing your part in it.
It’s a time to pause and take aim on what you want again. You’re at the end of suffering, learning once again to include yourself in open consciousness. You are moving toward knowing that you belong, yet you are becoming clear to be individualistic. Take control of your reading material, study material, friendships, family gatherings and group settings.

_____We walk the road of humanity and grasp life with our very breath. We need to remember we aren’t in dress rehearsal. Everyday is a creation of the life we want to live. Maybe all our days aren’t filled with how we’d like them to be, but it is in our good will that we start to create fulfilled and satisfied days and nights. It is only a reach away… meditate and then start moving forward in mind, voice and actions.
—-We can each define ambition and progress for ourselves. The goal is to work toward a world where expectations are not set by the stereotypes that hold us back, but by our personal passion, talents and interests. Sheryl Sandberg – businesswoman
