[in it]

It must be a relief. Anjae you poor woman ..do you go through this every month?

 When I went to the hypnotist she said every hour of sleep you can get before midnight is like getting two.

So some days when I think I'm sleep deprived I'm probably really not. I've found the best way I have been able to escape most of the stress and heal the trauma is sleep.

[Anjae]

No, not every month, In It. But often. It seems I become too sensitive to the full moon.

Tonight is the New Moon in the constellation of Leo.

We welcome this shift of creative and passionate energy that this New Moon will brings us!

The Leo New Moon is about power, it is about taking control of our lives and pushing ourselves further than we thought we could go, true power is living and acting from who we really are and what we really want. When we express our passions and our joys without apology or fear we are being our true self and this is where happiness comes from, don't hold back. Be creative and let your creative juices flow, take a walk on the wacky side of life and get out of your comfort zone. If you stay in the same place and keep doing the same things you will never move on from where you are.

All the inner work you have focused on this year will now be the foundation for bringing more power, love and energy into your life in this forward moving period. Leo is about leadership, when the Moon is in this constellation sign it means standing in the center and receiving all the universe is ready to gift you, so you can then open your hands and your heart and take your universal gifts. This is a particularly lucky New Moon, so don't be afraid to go for the things you want, lady luck is shining on you right now.

Leo is the sign of ambition so think big and dream big as this New Moon is going to give you much needed energy and a boost of luck, so go for things you may not have had the courage to go for before, push your boundaries a little and ask for more.

This New Moon we will be feeling emotional as fiery Leo brings with it strong passion and intense feelings. Our smallest emotions can feel magnified, don't repress these emotions, let them out, feel them and use them to guide you as our emotions are our truths.

On this New Moon we can truly bring in change, and transform ourselves to be who we want to be, we will feel braver and more confident than usual. Luck will be on your side, we will have renewed energy to complete tasks and get things done. The fire of Leo is burning brightly now, let the flames cleanse your spirit and burn away any negativity. Be positive and open yourself up to allow the good to come in to your life.

I find the one site rather .... interesting as it does fit in with a lot of what I (and apparently lots of other LBS'ers) are going through at the moment, even if it is totally generically written... Things like

take on an extra significance when one has consciously been DOING inner (read "mirror") work since ABD (for me just before Christmas so really since the beginning of this year) and, if one reads a positive and supportive message into this, well, that can not be a bad thing, right?

Whether one believes in it or not is not a relevant point of discussion but when things like this catch our attention and they reinforce what we feel within ourselves, then the subconscious also gets reinforced with a positive message.  This then translates into positive energy within our lives... and growing forward is always good, regardless of where we are int eh journey...

Thanks, Ursa. I am actually liking this New Moon energy. Quite vibrant.

For me it is just weird... VERY strange dreams last night... again... Full moon and New Moon seem to be triggers for very vivid dreaming on my part... But, I can see the energy thing too... 2 days until vacation and today, I woke up (or rather crawled out of bed) with a very different feeling than the past while... almost a palpable release of tension... If I could just figure out WHICH tension has been released, it would be awesome...

It would. You're going on holidays in a couple of days, hope that helps a little with the remaining tension.

The new moon energy is still pretty cool for me.

We are nearly there again, Full Moon August 18.

I'll see what words of wisdom I can dig up....
