Take some time to be present with the area of life/house themes being activated right now by this Moon & Eclipse. Think about what you want in the coming 6 months (now to the Taurus Full Moon Eclipse in November 2022 ) for this area of your life - what is your vision for the future and what steps can you take to get there? What is already shifting for you? Think about & answer the following questions for yourself:

• Where in your body have you been holding & storing negative emotions, traumas? How has it impacted your ability to connect & deepen your relationships to self, the world & others. What are ways you’ve began to release these things?
• What are you doing to align intentionally & intimately with your purpose & values?
• In what ways have you allowed yourself to suffer comfortably (big & small)? How can you move in the direction of moving through the transformational depths of healing to experience life more abundantly?
• What wisdom & insight does your body carry? How do you honor & listen to it?
• What ways can you strengthen your connection to your vessel, your gifts & your power?
• Write out 3 affirmations you can incorporate into your day to day as reminders when you feel ungrounded, out of purpose & disconnected .
• Note anything else that comes up for you during this exercise.

*When the Eclipse portal closes & the Moon moves into her waxing phase, we can put into action the notes, points and steps we wrote down, incorporating them into our life.
