When you feel overwhelmed and over react to a life event(s) with intense and over whelming emotion that event represents an emotional trigger for you.

The moon governs security issues and your feelings of emotional safety. At this Virgo new moon your emotional security is all about clarity and order.

Because Mercury rules the everyday ‘conscious’ mind you may experience more mental chatter than usual at the Virgo new moon. However, health will...

As you probably already know, your beliefs anchored in either positive, or negative emotions, operate automatically at the subconscious level. Your beliefs are part of a repeating story you’ve...

Issues of love and forgiveness are at the heart of shadow-related health issues whether physical, mental or emotional. Shadow related issues refer to emotions, thoughts and attitudes that lay buried and hidden beneath the surface of consciousness.  These suppressed negative emotion(s) when released can open the door to improved health, as well as the influx of new love and more meaningful relationships.
