20 July 2018 - 1st Qtr Moon
The 1st quarter Moon is the halfway point between last week’s New Moon and next week’s Full Moon - which also happens to be a lunar eclipse - but more about that later. At this point in the lunar cycle, the Moon’s energy begins to pick up - as does our physical energy - and we make great progress towards accomplishing our goals and deepest desires.
It is at this point too, that we begin to become aware of parts of Self that are ready for healing or attention so that we can begin to harness and integrate their energy in order to begin stepping up when and where we are called.
The energies have been super intense over the last 48 hours, making us question whether the intentions we set last week at the New Moon really are the right ones - whilst I can’t tell you whether they are or not within the scope of this general reading, what I can say is that these current energies are all about showing you what it is that you really want and helping you to decide what it is that you’re willing to do (or not) in order to achieve it.
Are you willing to work through the gunk and the challenging stuff that surfaces in order to reach the good stuff? Or are you ready to give up at the first sign of an obstacle? These are questions that you might want to dedicate some time to over the weekend.
We are currently in the midst of some extremely powerful energies that even those less sensitive are picking up on. At this very moment, we are sandwiched between last week’s partial solar eclipse and next week’s total lunar eclipse so things are undoubtedly going to pick up a notch or two, possibly a little more.
Things might feel super intense - that’s exactly how it’s meant to be right now, after all we are going through a tremendous energetic alignment and rebalance so do be gentle with yourself and others.
For those new to these Moon energy reading posts:
I tune in to the current energies and list some general symptoms that most of us are experiencing. I then follow up with some remedies that can help us to move through the symptoms and into a more balanced state of being.
These are a general guide and do not, by any means contain all of the current symptoms or remedies.
🔥 Symptoms, shifts & transformations …
Headaches, migraines and sinus issues
Headaches and migraines can and very often (especially lately) relate to the inflow of light-energy that’s flooding the Earth. What this means, is that as our physical bodies continue to be upgraded, we may not be physically ready to receive and integrate these energies which results in headaches and migraines.
There is also a physical component that speaks to us of an overactive mind and these symptoms being the result of the inability to shut down and/or find alternative ways to create stillness and mindfulness in our day.
Energetically, there’s a huge charge around resistance - what is it that you’re resisting and why?
It’s time to get honest with our self so that we can get out of our own way - things are not going to slow down any time soon - I don’t say this to alarm you, but rather to remind you that we are living during a time of intense spiritual growth and that we are being prepared for whatever it is that we’ve contracted to do at this place and space in time.
I wrote about the sinuses and what they tell us about our physical and emotional wellbeing in the 3rd Quarter Moon: 6 July 2018 ~ Moon Energy Reading so if you're interested, you can pop on over there and take a look.
Mental fogginess, sluggish thought processes
This ties in closely with the headaches and migraines, but can also occur on its own. You might find that you want to remember something that should really come to you quite easily, but as there is an energetic integration and alignment taking place within the crown and third eye chakras, your everyday mental faculties do feel a little slower than usual.
What I’m told about this is that things aren’t really slower, they’re actually speeding up so much that we can’t seem to keep up - pay attention over the coming days and you might just be able to pick up on this.
Feelings of sadness and helplessness
We did experience a similar wave of this last week, but this time around, it moved through quite quickly - in a matter of hours - and it wasn’t as deep as the last time - for most of us at least. Do remember that we are each at different stages of the journey, so the time frames I mention might be off by a little for some.
For those who did experience this wave of sadness this week, if you think back to it, you’ll find that although some aspects of what surfaced with it were quite deep, your resilience has heightened and so you bounced back much more quickly than the last time.
You can revisit last week's New Moon: 13 July 2018 ~ Moon Energy Reading where we discussed the feelings of extreme sadness and grief that moved through.
Dizziness, vertigo and general feelings of ungroundedness
Over the last 24 hours there have been major energetic downloads that might have had you feeling as though you’d lost your footing and were swaying in some kind of strange energy vortex.
What I’ve been shown and what I experienced myself is that many of us did in fact experience an energy vortex - the veil between dimensions is thin at the moment and we momentarily popped into another dimension, some of us more than once.
Sleep patterns
For the most part we are sleeping longer, but might not feel refreshed upon waking - there is so much going on energetically, not only within our physical bodies, but also in the world around us, so it’s only natural that it affects our sleep time.
What we can do, is be mindful about our wind-down time and ensure that we include some self-care time at the end of the day where we are our only priority - before you start looking for excuses as to why you can’t, think about the toll it’s taking on you and tell me now, why you’re not worth at least five minutes out of 24 hours…
Spinal flush
We are undergoing yet another spinal flush and this one has been a biggie.
At the beginning of the week we were dealing with the energies of emotions and relationships, tapping into how we relate to others and how they relate to us and what that means to and for us, not only on a physical level, but also on an emotional and spiritual level. Our attention was on sexuality and spirituality and how we might be able to combine the two to create a super powerful foundation for the coming months where we will be called to show up in our vulnerability, thus laying an integral piece of the puzzle for what is to follow.
Once we’d dealt with the majority of that, we were taken on a journey to the realm of personal power and how we stand up to and for ourselves on a daily basis. This manifests as digestive troubles and feeling helpless if we don’t harness the energies correctly.
For now we hover between standing up for ourselves and discovering the many facets of compassion in our interactions with others. What I’m being shown about this stage is that we will receive many opportunities to heal the past so that we can finally move on, certain of who we’ve become in the process of healing all that those experiences brought us.
The next stage of this will have us expressing ourselves, our deepest hopes and desires and quite possibly being surprised by what we hear ourselves saying or see ourselves writing. This will be an interesting and welcome turning point.
Animal spirit and nature medicine
In addition to visiting other dimensions this week, we are also being visited more and more by animal spirit and nature signs. These signs might appear physically, but quite often they appear as a manifestation from Spirit where we either stumble across an image, a conversation, an article or book about a particular animal, insect, or plant spirit.
The more present you are, the more you’ll notice these signs. And the more you converse with Spirit, the more signs you’ll receive.

Inner Work & journalling:
When we take and make the time to connect with the inner realms, we can initiate and/or facilitate great shifts. The more we know ourselves, the better we become at handling what comes our way. Begin by writing about how you feel - physically and/or emotionally, then as you discover these feelings (and even emotions), describe how they feel and as you write about them, you’ll find that there may be a pattern or underlying theme that stands out.
Hydration:
Keeping our bodies hydrated is important with all of these energetic upgrades. Drinking water and herbal teas is a great way to flush out the toxins that are being released by the body. For the coffee and black tea drinkers: drink one glass of water per cup of caffeinated beverage.
Suggestions: lavender; rose; sage; camomile; peppermint; lotus; rosehip; ginger.
