Weekly Reflections for The Month of October

Monthly Themes and Reflections

Balance, Relationships and Equality

Whether you are aware of it or not, we are influenced by the cycle of the Moon.
Each week we will share questions designed in alignment with the moon cycle to bring about the most potent inquiry related to the moon’s position.
Please know, we are always a part of this cycle and taking it into account during reflection and inquiry allows us to leverage the energetic influence it has and get a deeper, more insightful experience in your practice.
Each week we will share any astrological transits so you can take this into account in your life, feelings, thoughts and experience during that time.

NB: This podcast episode by The Emerald is an excellent listen for those wanting to learn a little about how the Moon impacts the creation of life and our consciousness.

Take as much, or as little, time with these questions as feels right for you.

You can post your responses in the comments, or keep them private in your journal, but please DO use some form of reflection as a regular tool!
