Ep 3 | New Moon Clearing: Sensitivity, Truth, and the Waters Within

As sensitive women, we may not always be aware of how the lunar phases are influencing us. When I began to understand that our bodies are roughly seventy percent water, and the planet is covered in roughly seventy percent water, and the moon influences the waters, a question arose: Why wouldn't we acknowledge that the moon is also influencing our human form? Last week we named the brick in the backpack, the unspoken truths we carry when we do not speak our authentic voice. This week the new moon invites those waters to move, so what has been creating interference can be released rather than carried forward. In this episode, I share what the new moon is really offering us. Not as something to fear, but as a clearing. A movement of the waters within us to help us release what has been creating interference in our authentic expression. What Arose in This Conversation The New Moon as Clearing: The new moon is not something to fear. It is an invitation to tune in and ask: What is ready to arise? What is ready to be released? It is about realigning with your truth, your authentic voice, and the wholeness of who you are. The Gate of the Fighter: My moon sign in Human Design is the gate of the fighter. When I first heard my chart, I was told I had a "channel of struggle," and I did not want to hear it. But over time, I came to understand that the fighter is about what you find meaning in, what you value, what is worth standing for. Getting Curious Instead of Shutting Down: My old pattern was to shut down discomfort. If someone caused me discomfort, I wanted them out of my life. But as I woke up, I learned to be curious: What moment did I feel that sensation? What is coming up? What is being cleared through this? What Someone Else Thinks of Me Is None of My Business: Anyone else's judgment is about them. But if I become aware that I responded to something someone said, that is my business. Something came up within me, and that means it is within me to meet. Outsourcing Our Authority: We are raised in a culture that teaches us to give our authority away. Obey your parents. Listen to the teacher. Trust the doctor. We are not typically raised to honor our own internal voice. High Strung or Highly Sensitive: When the sympathetic nervous system is chronically activated and we do not have enough time in the relaxation response, our true gifts cannot fully be embraced. An Invitation to Carry With You As you listen, or as you reflect on this new moon, what is being cleared for you? What has been creating interference in your authentic expression? What would it feel like to pause, connect with your breath, and trust that what is arising is not for your judgment, but for your release?
