Tonight is a Wolf moon and a lunar eclipse. A significantly magical way to welcome in the new decade. An opportunity to set intentions for the year to come. Personally, around full moon I experience a natural purge accompanied by a surge of energy and focus. I’m pisces and live by the sea so feel […]
