🦁♌️WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE LEO FULL MOON♌️🦁

🌕On Thursday, January 25 at 12:54 p.m. EST/9:54 a.m. PT, this romantic, self-expressive full moon falls in Leo, the fixed fire sign ruled by the sun, which, in astrology, oversees self-image, confidence and identity. The full moon in Leo can motivate you to tune into your desires and dreams and pinpoint what sets you apart and own those traits — loudly and proudly. It’s a moment in which you could be compelled to speak your truth and, in turn, feel even comfier and more centered in your own skin. Because the moon forms an activating angle to buoyant Jupiter, the planet of fortune, your optimism could soar… but your emotions could also be amplified.

⬇️Consider my pro tip and lmk your rising sign — or sun, if you’re not sure of it — and I’ll share your full moon scope.

The moon is now in Taurus so I thought I’d share

The moon is now in Taurus so I thought I’d share a photo I took last week after my first ever mammogram. What do those two things have in common? Well, a couple months ago, I was feeling worked up, nervous, overwhelmed about all the question marks and health tasks I had to do ahead of our embryo transfer. My friend Meredith pointed out that my energy in that moment felt very Virgoan — rightfully so. We’re notorious overthinkers and often worrisome, in great part because we care so damn much and want to do everything we can to set the stage for perfection. But as anyone who has gone through fertility treatment knows, IVF and aiming for perfection aren’t exactly compatible. Mere suggested I pick a sign whose energy I’d like to channel, to ground and center myself through this uncertain time. After some debate, I landed on Taurus.

The fixed earth sign is slow and steady, calm and determined, comfy with taking challenges one step at a time. My paternal grandmother, Edith, with whom I was so close was a ♉️ sun. I wanted to tap into her energy — her feathers were rarely ruffled, she was capable of finding a solution to most problems, she was sunny, positive, and social into her 90s, she was rock solid. That’s the energy I want to bring into my IVF journey, I told Mere. And since that convo, I’ve been looking to ♉️ energy and my Grandma E who beautifully embodied it.

Since October, I’ve had to get a colonoscopy, get genetic counseling, undergo a tough 2-month treatment for silent endometriosis called Depot Lupron, have an gyn exam, and get my first mammogram. Thinking of all of these to-dos was daunting. But by channeling Taurus energy, I’ve focused on tackling each one by one. Seeing them as housekeeping items to check off the list in order to clear the path to parenthood. Accomplishing each one would get me to closer to the big picture goal of our transfer and, G-d willing, a healthy pregnancy. So far, adopting the Bull’s perspective has served me well. All of those to dos are now in the rear view as the future is swiftly approaching.

✨MERCURY MAGIC PRO TIP✨ On New Year’s Day,

✨MERCURY MAGIC PRO TIP✨

On New Year’s Day, Mercury retrograde officially came to an end!!! 👏 We still have to deal with the shadow — and therefore, communication, transportation, and tech may still be a bit wonky while Mercury revs back up to full speed — for the next couple weeks, but in the meantime, this can be a wonderful moment for reflecting on what went *right* from December 12-13 to January 1.

❓How did you use the retrograde (consciously or not) and revisit the past/tie up loose ends/rest & recharge in order to be even better prepared for the future? Would love to hear your thoughts. 👇
