Here’s the truth: just setting intentions with the new moon just isn’t enough. Wishing on a moonbeam, fingers crossed, essential oils dripped on the altar—it’s just not gonna cut it. The cosmos doesn’t work like that. Manifesting isn’t passive. It’s participatory. We...
The Scorpio new moon isn’t about magical wishes — it’s a cosmic summons to dig deep to make real change For years, I was the queen of new moon intention-setting. Ceremony after ceremony, moon after moon, relentlessly without fail, I’d gather under the stars or at my...

How the Libra New Moon Taught Me to Hold Boundaries—With Myself For years, I’ve been watching more TV than I really want to. Just streaming, zoning out—especially at the end of a long day. And here’s the thing: I love to read. As a writer, I could even argue that I...
I watch too much TV. I stream way more than I want. I love to read, and as a writer, I could argue, I need to read more. But at the end of a busy day, I numbingly plop down with my iPad. It’s been bugging me for years, but have I changed this annoying habit with any...
