Monday: Seeking Harmony with the Nearly Full Moon in Libra

Our voyage begins with the glow of a nearly full moon in Libra, beckoning us to seek equilibrium and balance in our lives. Libra, the cosmic diplomat represented by the scales, invites us to examine the delicate dance between our emotions and relationships.

Take a moment to reflect on areas of imbalance, particularly in communication and connection with others. Libra teaches us the importance of perspective, urging us to step back and assess our roles in maintaining harmony. Because of Libra’s need for peace and balance, I’d like us all to focus on where in our lives we might be quieting ourselves to people please.

People-pleasing, though often well-intentioned, is one of the quietest forms of manipulation. By prioritizing the desires and expectations of others over one's own authenticity and well-being, individuals engage in a pattern of behavior aimed at gaining approval or avoiding conflict. This behavior can create a facade of harmony while suppressing genuine emotions and hindering personal growth. In essence, people-pleasing involves subtly manipulating others' perceptions and responses to maintain a sense of control or security in relationships. However, this manipulation ultimately erodes trust and authenticity, denying both the individual and those around them the opportunity for genuine connection and growth.

Tuesday to Thursday: Embracing Transformation under the Full Moon in Scorpio

As we journey into Scorpio's waters, we prepare for a profound experience of emotional depth and transformation. The full moon in Scorpio shines a light on the shadows within, urging us to release what no longer serves our highest good. Just as the moon sheds its light on the darkness of the night, we too are encouraged to shed light on our own shadows, allowing them to come to the surface for acknowledgment and healing. In this sense, the full moon acts as a guiding beacon, leading us on a journey of self-discovery and transformation.

Scorpio's influence during the full moon amplifies this process of release and transformation. As a water sign, Scorpio is deeply attuned to the realm of emotions, particularly those that are karmic or deeply rooted within our subconscious. Under Scorpio's influence, we are urged to confront these buried emotions and experiences, allowing them to rise to the surface for integration and understanding. This can be an emotionally intense period, as we navigate the depths of our psyche and confront the shadows that dwell within.

However, it is through this process of confrontation and release that we find liberation and empowerment. By acknowledging and releasing what no longer serves us, we create space for new growth and opportunities to enter our lives. Like the phoenix rising from the ashes, we emerge from the full moon's transformative energies renewed and revitalized, ready to embark on the next chapter of our journey with clarity and purpose.

The Scorpio full moon isn't to be feared; rather, it offers an opportunity for intense passion and creativity to flourish. Under its influence, we may find ourselves drawn to artistic pursuits, tapping into our deepest emotions to create works of beauty and expression.

Additionally, this moon phase can ignite the flames of romance, infusing our relationships with a newfound sense of passion and excitement. However, it's essential to approach this intensity with caution, especially during Mercury retrograde. While our emotions may be running high, it's important to discern between genuine connections and fleeting desires. If thoughts of rekindling an old flame arise, it's wise to exercise caution and consider whether it aligns with our highest good. (We’re still in retrograde, fam—just say no. And perhaps reflect on wounds and lessons still lingering in regards to this person).

Friday: Expanding Perspectives as We Enter Sagittarius

As the moon transitions into Sagittarius, we embrace a spirit of adventure and expansion. Sagittarius, the cosmic explorer, invites us to broaden our horizons and embrace the unknown with enthusiasm and optimism.

During this time of transition, resist the urge to cling to familiarity. Instead, view this as an opportunity for personal growth and expansion. Allow yourself to surrender to the journey, trusting that the universe is guiding you towards new experiences and opportunities.

The Disseminating Moon phase marks a time of sharing knowledge and wisdom with others. Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and abundance, encourages us to share our insights and beliefs with the world around us. Whether through travel, education, or philosophical discussions, we are invited to connect with others on a deeper level and explore the vast tapestry of human experience.

Full Moon Grounding Ritual: Connecting with Earth

1. Preparation: Find a quiet outdoor space. Begin by taking a few deep breaths, allowing yourself to relax and become present in the moment.

2. Visualization: Close your eyes and imagine yourself standing on the shore of a vast lake. Feel the cool breeze against your skin and the gentle lapping of the waves against the shore. As you listen to the soothing sound of the water, visualize roots extending from the soles of your feet, sinking deep into the earth below.

3. Connecting with Earth: With each breath, imagine your roots growing stronger and deeper, anchoring you firmly to the earth's core. Feel the energy of the earth rising up through your roots, filling you with a sense of stability and strength. As you connect with the earth beneath you, allow yourself to release any tension or negativity, letting it flow down into the ground to be transmuted and transformed.

4. Body Drumming: To further enhance your connection with the earth's energy, gently drum your fingertips and palms against your body in a rhythmic pattern. As you drum, imagine each beat sending vibrations of grounding energy deep into the earth, strengthening your connection and aligning your energy with the natural rhythms of the earth.

5. Closing: Take a moment to express gratitude, When you feel grounded and centered, slowly open your eyes and take a few more deep breaths, allowing yourself to fully integrate the experience.

In the tapestry of folklore and mythology, there exists a creature both elusive and enchanting—the pixie. Conjuring images of delicate wings, mischievous grins, and boundless energy, the pixie embodies the essence of whimsy, playfulness, and connection to nature.

But what exactly is a Pixie, and why does it captivate our imagination so?

Origins of Pixie Lore

Pixies have danced through the pages of folklore and fairy tales for centuries, leaving a trail of wonder and intrigue in their wake. These ethereal beings are often depicted as small, winged creatures, flitting through forests and meadows with a twinkle in their eyes and a mischievous grin on their lips.

In Celtic mythology, pixies are said to be guardians of the natural world, dwelling in hidden groves and mossy glens. They possess a deep reverence for the earth and all its inhabitants, nurturing the delicate balance of the natural order.

Embodying Pixie Energy

Beyond their physical form, pixies represent a state of being—a way of interacting with the world that transcends the mundane. To embody pixie energy is to tap into the wellspring of joy, spontaneity, and wonder that resides within each of us.

Close your eyes—and once you do, breathe in deeply—three times. Let the air enter through your nose and hold it in your lungs, imagining a radiant golden light settling there in your chest. Imagine that golden light spreading through your body as that breath is held for a count of five. Now—let it go, exhaling through your mouth and listening. Do you hear?—a call to adventure, a reminder of the magic that exists just beyond the veil of everyday life. This is the essence of pixie energy—a playful dance between the known and the unknown, the seen and the unseen.

At its core, the pixie invites us to embrace the enchantment of life, to see the world through eyes unclouded by cynicism and doubt. It challenges us to reawaken our sense of wonder, to find joy in the simple pleasures, and to cultivate a deep connection to the natural world.

In this spirit, The Salted Pixie invites you to embark on a journey of self-discovery guided by the enchanting energy of the pixie. Our sanctuary offers a space to unwind, rejuvenate, and reconnect with your inner essence, tapping into the magic that resides within each of us.

In a world filled with complexities and external pressures, it's easy to lose sight of our true selves amidst the noise and chaos. We're bombarded with advice, expectations, and standards that often leave us feeling lost and disconnected from our inner wisdom. But what if I told you that the answers you seek are already within you—that the map to your authentic self has been there all along, waiting to be uncovered?

At The Salted Pixie, we understand the challenges of navigating the journey of self-discovery in a world that often feels overwhelming and confusing. That's why we're here to offer a sanctuary—a space where you can reconnect with your inner essence, tap into your innate wisdom, and embark on a transformative journey of healing and self-discovery.

We live in a world where we're conditioned to seek validation, to look outside of ourselves for answers and guidance. But the truth is, the most profound insights come from within—from listening to the whispers of our own hearts and trusting in our intuition. You don't need a guru to know what's right for you. The path to your true self is already written inside of you, waiting to be illuminated.

As healers and facilitators, we're not here to dictate your journey or tell you what to do. Instead, we're here to hold space for you—to listen to your stories, to honor your experiences, and to support you as you navigate the twists and turns of your own unique path. We believe in the power of storytelling as a tool for healing and connection, and we invite you to share your story with us—to open your heart, to explore your vulnerabilities, and to discover the magic that lies within.

And why did we choose to name our business The Salted Pixie? Why do we call ourselves Pixies? Because a pixie represents so much of what we stand for—a playful, whimsical spirit deeply connected to nature and the elements. Just like a pixie, we believe in the magic of life, in the power of transformation, and in the beauty of embracing our true selves.

So, if you're ready to embrace your inner pixie, to reconnect with your true self, and to embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery, we invite you to join us at The Salted Pixie. Together, let's explore the depths of our souls, unearth the wisdom that resides within, and rediscover the joy that comes from living authentically.
