Moon Affirmations

SAGITTARIUS MOON: Write or say the following affirmations:

I release my addiction to excess and to unwise risk.

I release the need to know the answers and to be right.

I open myself to positive, growth-oriented influences.

I rejoice in my capacity to understand advanced ideas.

The growth of my mind and spirit is ever unfolding.

HEALING MEDITATION: Identify an area of your life where you are overdoing or

overindulging--for example, you may be spending too much or eating too much.

Acknowledge the urge to expand, which has led to this excess, but tell

yourself that the real expansion you are seeking is spiritual. Imagine that

you are in a bubble filled with white light. Your entire body is a sponge,

and you take in more and more of this white light, until you are a radiant,

glowing being. Repeat firmly "I have enough, I do enough, and I AM enough."

Close with the affirmation I RELEASE MY ADDICTION TO EXCESS AND TO UNWISE

RISK.

MAKING THE MOST OF SAGITTARIUS: Fill your body and brain with yellow light.

Imagine a many-petaled yellow flower opening in the center of your forehead.

Then think of something you're doing on a small scale now that you'd like to

see happening in a big way. Put that thing in a tiny yellow bubble at eye

level. Send an inexhaustible stream of yellow light through the flower into

the bubble. Watch it grow and grow and grow. Close with the affirmation

THE

GROWTH OF MY MIND AND SPIRIT IS EVER UNFOLDING

AQUARIUS MOON: Write or say the following affirmations:

I forgo all rebellious acts that harm me or others.

I release my anger toward authority figures.

I embrace my individuality and grant others their own.

I uncover and express my own personal gains.

I affirm my oneness with the human community.

HEALING MEDITATION: Think of a way in which you're frustrated at not being

able to be your true self or to express what you perceive as your own unique

gifts and talents. Or, think of something special about you that is not

appreciated by those around you or society as a whole. Imagine a pink

rosebud in your solar plexus growing and opening up to a large beautiful

fully open flower. Ask your higher self to reveal to you over the next few

days a way for the special part to be exposed without creating friction with

the environment. Close with the affirmation I UNCOVER AND EXPRESS MY OWN

PERSONAL GENIUS.

MAKING THE MOST OF AQUARIUS: Again, think of something special about

yourself, some way you're making a contribution to the world. It need not

be

an exalted contribution, but even your daily work serves the growth of

humanity in some way. See you your work or some facet of your life

interconnects with the lives of uncounted others, the vast majority unknown

to you. Visualize yourself holding the hands of people on either side of

you, a link in a human chain spanning the entire world. Close with the

affirmation I AFFIRM MY ONENESS WITH THE HUMAN COMMUNITY

I release any anger that is toxic to me.

I direct my anger into constructive action.

I assert myself in a balanced, comfortable way.

Energy is available for all I want to achieve.

I allow my leadership potential to unfold.

HEALING MEDITATION: Imagine a ball of red fire traveling to any part of your

body--or your life--that seems to need healing or energizing. As this ball

spins, challenge any blocked energy or suppressed anger to surface. Direct

it to emerge over the next few days, in a form and at a rate you can handle.

Close with the affirmation I RELEASE ANY ANGER THAT IS TOXIC TO ME.

MAKING THE MOST OF ARIES: Think of a project or task you want to get

cracking

on. Write out all the step involved. Then take each step in order, and

imagine yourself doing it energetically, enthusiastically, and successfully.

When you have completed all the steps, envision the successful outcome of

the

task, the joys and rewards of having done it and done it well. Close with

the

affirmation ENERGY IS AVAILABLE FOR ALL I WANT TO ACHIEVE.

My emotions are fluid but in balance.

I learn the lessons of the past and joyfully release it.

cycle--the New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Dark of the Moon. As the

Moon goes through its phases, imagine the trouble resolving itself. RELEASE

WORRY AND INSECURITY ABOUT THE FUTURE.

MAKING THE MOST OF CANCER: Pretend that you can locate the roots of your

energy field, or aura, which are near the tailbone. Imagine that there is a

wonderfully soothing pale pink light gently pushing out any insecurity and

replacing it with a feeling of being at home in the universe. Imagine it

gradually and gently growing from that area and implanting themselves in the

earth itself. The roots begin drawing nurturance and sustenance from the

earth, so that you can gain a wonderful sense of being nourished and card

for. Close with the affirmation I'M SAFE AT HOME IN THE NURTURING LOVE OF

THE DIVINE.

I accept my capacity to plan wisely for my goals.

My abilities find their highest expression.

HEALING MEDITATION: Select a person or situation in your life where you have

felt anxious, insecure, or blocked, and see a bubble of deep blue light

around it. Imagine yourself in a similar bubble of blue light. Play the

situation out in detail. Then imagine that the outer bubble is highly

magnetic, drawing the fear or paralysis out of you. Along with the fear,

the

blue light is also drawn out, so you are left in a bubble of white light at

the end. Close with the affirmation I RELEASE THE FEAR AND NEGATIVITY THAT

IS BLOCKING ME.

MAKING THE MOST OF CAPRICORN: Identify a goal or aim in your life, in which

it is your highest intention to succeed. This may be a career goal, but it

could as easily be a personal goal in which you want to bring out the best

you are capable of. Visualize the goal as being at the top of a mountain,

and accept yourself as a master mountain climber. Imagine yourself climbing

the mountain, with your best effort, and also with joy at undertaking the

to you. Close with the affirmation MY ABILITIES FIND THEIR HIGHEST

HEALING MEDITATION: If your mind is spinning, racing, or obsessing on the

same thoughts over and over again, this meditation is one to help you calm

and center your mind. Light the brain up with white light. Breathe slowly

and deeply, saying over and over with each breath, ONE, ONE, ONE. You will

feel yourself getting calmer. Then imagine that you can consciously ride

your brain waves--which are like ocean waves. Hop aboard and then imagine

that you can smooth out the curves and gradually slow them down, until the

curves are very slow and gentle. Gradually return to waking consciousness.

MAKING THE MOST OF GEMINI: Imagine light in your choice of colors filling

all

the caves and contours of your brain. Ask for illumination on any matter

needing clarification. During the two-and-a-half days the Moon is in

Gemini,

expect an answer in some form--an article you "happen" across, an overheard

conversation, a television program, or even a dream. Close with the

affirmation MY MIND UNFOLDS TO ITS HIGHEST LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT.

I carry myself with confidence and dignity.

I accept myself as lovable, capable, and worthwhile.

I feel the love the divine heart of God has for me.

HEALING MEDITATION: Light up your solar plexus and your brain with pink

light. Write down all your negative attitudes and judgments about

yourself--your self-hating, self-doubting thought. Underneath each one,

write several time "I release the belief that I am==" As you write, blaze up

the ball of pink fire in the solar plexus, and imagine that it is burning

away all obstructions to self-love. Close with the affirmations I ACCEPT

MYSELF AS LOVABLE, CAPABLE AND WORTHWHILE.

Making the most of Leo: Imagine a warm ball of golden fire glowing in your

solar plexus. As its light gently pulsates outward, list five to ten of

your

positive qualities; then, with each pulsation of golden light, feel your

light

fill your brain and your whole body. Visualize in front of you, in a

similar

bubble of pink light, someone you've loved and lost, or someone your are

estranged from. Imagine that there is a kind of rope or cord from your

heart

to this person's, and that this rope represents all the difficulties or pain

that has happened between you. Let a bright pink flame emerge from your

heart area and begin to burn away all those difficult emotions, actions, and

unmet needs. Keep the flame burning bright by saying again and again in

your

mind: "Release with love; heal with love; cleanse with love." When the rope

has burned down to the end, let the pink light warm and fill your heart,

then

send the person on to his or her own path with a prayer for healing. Close

with the affirmation I RELEASE MY SORROW OVER PAST RELATIONSHIPS.

MAKING THE MOST OF LIBRA: Imagine a tightly closed pink flower in the heart

area. Using your hands, go around the outside of the flower and open each

petal one by one, saying several of these affirmations or others you make

up.

When you get to the center, see a warm pink light pulsating outward from the

flower.

I meditate easily, willingly, and regularly.

I cherish and express my creative abilities.

HEALING MEDITATION: Surround yourself with a bubble of golden light and make

a strong link with your own soul and the Divine. Allow to fully come to the

surface that part of you that feels lost, hopeless, and overwhelmed by the

difficulties of life, and that wants to just lie back and have someone else

take care of it. Let the self-pity and the wish to escape from it all by

blotting out consciousness come welling up. Then again forge the link with

the Divine and with your own eternal self. Imagine a golden rain falling in

your bubble and that the rain washes away all those hopeless, helpless

feelings, they all flow down a drain beneath your feet, and you're left with

a clear, sparkling bubble of golden light. Close with the affirmation I

EXPERIENCE MY CONNECTIONS WITH THE DIVINE.

MAKING THE MOST OF PISCES: Here the traditional form of pure meditation in

which you empty your consciousness to the best of your ability and let

inspiration come through is best. Begin with the intention to experience

your connection with the Divine, and the focus on your breathing and a

single

word link OM, peace, or joy. Again, close with the affirmation I EXPERIENCE

MY CONNECTION WITH THE DIVINE.

HEALING MEDITATION: Select one area of your life where you're very

self-critical and hard on yourself. Visualize yourself and the entire

situation surrounded in lavender light. Affirm that you love yourself and

you're presently doing the best you can. Then ask your soul or higher self

for new ideas on how to do better. Expect the answer during the

two-and-a-half days the Moon is in Virgo. Close with the affirmation I

RELEASE MY ADDICTION TO PERFECTION.

MAKING THE MOST OF VIRGO: Select an area of your life where you'd like to

invent a more efficient, effective way of operating. Light up your brain

with blue-green light, like teal or aquamarine. State clearly what the need

is, and establish a firm intention that during the time the Moon is in

Virgo,

you will come up with an ingenious, efficient way of doing it. State your

willingness to let go of old methods and rigid attitudes about the work.

Imagine your entire body lit up in blue-green and see the light pulsating

down your right arm and outward to fill up your work station. Close with

the affirmation MY WORK FLOWS EASILY AND PRODUCTIVELY.

but also your fears about what would happen if you had money. Take each of

these attitudes in turn, and wrap it up tightly in a ball of green light.

Say "I release the belief that --blah blah blah----" filling in the negative

continues, think of specific resentments and resolve to release them into

the

stream of light. Know that they are being washed away. Close with the

affirmation I RELEASE ALL RESENTMENTS I HAVE ACCUMULATED.

MAKING THE MOST OF SCORPIO: Think of some parts of your life you'd like to

see healed. Make a strong link with your higher self, possibly the part

you'd call your soul. Ask for the strength and hope to transform that part

of yourself. Establish a firm intention that during the next few days the

door will open to healing this part of you--whether it is through a healer

or

therapist, a self-help book, or some new strength and insight that wells up

from deep within. Imagine yourself opening up to healing energy from

spiritual sources, and then imagine an inrush of such energy. Take in as

much as you can. Close with the affirmation I ACCEPT MY CAPACITY TO

TRANSFORM MY LIFE.
