🌝 Moon water tea
Charged under the moon, this tea becomes a gentle infusion of intention. While holding the cup, say your intention out loud. Sip slowly and allow it to calm your nervous system while energetically cleansing from within.
🧿 Evil eye
A sacred symbol of protection, the evil eye acts as a mirror reflecting negativity away from you rather than allowing it to settle into your space. I have them in a few places throughout my cabin, on a stone by my front door, worn as a necklace, and I recently got a tattoo of one on my wrist. 
📿 Amulets & power bracelets
Worn with intention, these pieces become energetic allies. They can hold protection, grounding, or confidence depending on what you choose to program into them. I wear my green amazonite necklace whenever I leave the house. My nieces and nephews refer to it as 'the heart of tefiti' from the movie Moana. I have bracelets made of different stones and they all have a special and healing property.
💄 Dressing with intention
What you wear carries frequency. Choosing outfits, colors, or adornments that make you feel powerful helps you embody confidence and energetic boundaries.
🔮 Crystals
Each crystal holds a unique vibration. Whether for protection like black tourmaline, grounding, or clarity, they help stabilize and support your energetic field. I keep crystals in all rooms of my cabin, my car, and my purse.
🛁 Salt baths
Salt is deeply purifying. A bath or even a foot soak can pull heaviness from your aura, leaving you feeling lighter, clearer, and more centered. When needing a deep cleanse, I make myself a home made sugar scrub and add a lil salt to it. Salt scrubs are to abrasive for my skin but whatever works for you!
📚 Journaling with a dedicated candle
Writing releases what’s stored within. Lighting a special candle creates a sacred container helping you process emotions and call your energy back to yourself. Once finished, I blow out the candle and it makes the session fell complete. 
🕯 Incense or smoke cleansing
Smoke shifts stagnant energy. Use it to clear your space, your body, and your mind inviting in peace, clarity, and protection. I make sure to crack a window if I am clearing my house! Step outside and give yourself a sage bath once a week!
🚿 Water rituals
Even a simple shower can become spiritual. As water runs over you, visualize it washing away stress, cords, and anything you’ve picked up throughout the day.​ I have a friend that takes a shower every night before bed. My goddess baths are well known and I make sure to take one 1x a week!

 ■ New Moon in Pisces — March 18th
Celebratory vibes are in the air and spring is springing here in Texas! This New Moon in Pisces marks a true new beginning one that is born from surrendering, releasing, and allowing the future to rise. It is simultaneously a time of completion and initiation where what no longer serves you falls away to make space for what's next. Pisces energy amplifies imagination, emotion, and the unseen so creativity and intuition are front and center right now. You may also notice detox-like symptoms as your mind, body, and spirit clear out old energy. Because this is a Pisces New Moon, repeated lessons and patterns may resurface for reevaluation. This is not a setback but an invitation to finally see them clearly. This is the moment to set firm boundaries, practice healthy assertion, and take full responsibility for your path forward. Dream big, yes but don't stop there. Take the initiative. Make intentional decisions rather than simply imagining possibilities. Let your vision move from the dream space into action. And speaking of dreams, pay close attention to them right now. Pisces rules the dream realm and messages from your subconscious and beyond may be coming through loud and clear. ​

■ Spring Equinox/Astrological New Year — March 20th Aries Season Begins
The energy doesn't slow down for long! March 20th marks the Astrological New Year and the first day of spring and it arrives with a cosmic bang. Aries charges in with boldness and courage, calling you to begin a meaningful journey. But what makes this moment truly extraordinary is what's happening in the sky: six planets are stacking in Aries at 0 degrees, a concentration of energy so rare, it has not been seen in your lifetime. 
The energy surrounding these next few days is electric and decisive. This is not the time to stay on the sidelines or wait for clarity to come to you. Time to get clear on what you are here to do next. Be specific. What chapter is beginning for you? Aries is a deeply physical sign so move your body and let that momentum translate into real-world action. Go for a run, dance it out, or simply stand up and take a step forward literally and figuratively. Time to take the wheel. ​

I am elated to share that my new services are finally here! The Ascending Sage now offers Psychic Medium & Channeled Psychic Readings. I’m deeply grateful to be able to help others connect with their loved ones and spirit guides. Check out the difference between both services by clicking read more!

As I was working on my post for this weekend, I found my previous one and thought I would reshare! A lot is the same but also different as my Mimi has now passed away. I also bake a lot more and use the real flour and butter. Stay tuned for this week's festivities as I am celebrating Dia De Los Muertos for the first time and even though both holidays honor our loved ones, there are some differences! 

​Whew this eclipse energy + the world today is just making things messy and very uncomfortable. It's time for some self love and care right now more than ever! Everyday you wake up to another list of 'to dos' starting with the first task, getting out of bed. This task alone has seemed like a daunting task to many of us. We forge thru the morning with our routines and chores but what happened to taking some time for ourselves. I call it a ritual when I do an activity that is just for myself. Makes me feel a little special. How often I fit a ritual in a day has been lacking lately. So starting today, I choose myself even it's its for a few minutes. I am asking you to do the same. Below are some ideas for what a morning and an evening ritual can look like. We all have our own vibrations and live lives not like the other. It's important to know some of these won't resonate with you and thats ok. Pick what does and try to add it to your routine a couple of times a week. The goal is to do it daily but let's just start, together. I to need to practice taking some time for myself. I need to learn to put the mask on before tending to others.

1. Mindful movement- Walking is my favorite. Whether it's in your backyard, up and down your driveway, or you have a great spot for walking in nature, hit the pavement. I prefer power walking to my 90s tunes but my therapist reminded me that sometimes I need quiet and slow movement if my body and mind aren't up to all that bee bopping. She also pointed out the all or nothing bug I have and I laughed cause I literally stopped walking months ago b/c my fav spot was taken away and I used to do my 2 miles there. Since I haven't had access, I do 0 walking. Eye roll at myself. Other types of movement: yoga, tai chi, dancing, swimming, and stretching. 
2. Journaling- Get yourself a fresh journal- stop using the last pages of an old spiral that's been lying around. Get yourself some cool pens with color or just a really good pen. Aren't those something? How did I get to the age I have a preference of what kind of pen I use....Anyways, intentional journaling with prompts or just free hand works! Just get it out. 
3. Water- Whether it's taking a dip in a pool, river, lake or ocean OR it's soaking in a goddess bath, get in some water. Water is great for emotional releases so if you feel stuck emotionally, getting in the water is the answer. 
4. Magic drink- Take the time to adorn your water, coffee, tea, or any beverage! I like adding cinnamon to my coffee this time of year. Adding mint and lemon to sun tea really adds a special something. Feeling under the weather? Try fresh ginger and honey to a hot cup of brewed tea. Mocktails are also an idea when you need something refreshing! Once you have your drink in hand, now you add the magic by putting an intention in it. Say these words out load or to yourself directly towards your cup in your hand before you take your first sip. Spend this moment with yourself, for yourself. "I am enough." "I am loved" "I am powerful and have lots of energy to get through this day with success" "I am healing and I allow what no longer serves me to leave now" "I am free of burden and stress in this moment".​ OR find your own mantra that resonates! Drink and enjoy your magic beverage!
5. Prayer/Gratitude/Meditate- This can be done all day if you would like. We all say there is little time to do so but truth is, we multitask all sorts of things. I know you talk to yourself like I do. Go ahead and try talking to your guides instead of yourself. You might be very surprised when the 'aha' moments start to come more frequently. Take a moment and connect with the source and/or spirit whether it's with God, your angels, goddess, buddha, your guides, or ancestors, just reach out! Let them know what you are thankful for. Share your worries, your plans, and your heart with them. They are here to listen and here to assist. You are never alone. 

Here I am! I have been on quite the journey and looking forward to getting back to more moon magic! I am still offering Reiki sessions in person and virtually. Coming very soon and while I am still working on my certification, I will be offering psychic medium readings as well as intuitive psychic readings  on a donation basis, allowing you to contribute at a level that feels comfortable. Your generosity supports the continued flow of spirit-led guidance. All sessions are done via zoom! I am so looking forward to connecting with you soon. ​

​Summer is setting in nicely here in Texas. I have been craving strawberries these last couple of weeks. I found that fresh strawberries are easy to find at the local farmers market and even our trusty HEB has fresh berries from Poteet.  

As I've mentioned before, I am not an astrologist but an avid believer and researcher in all things celestial. I gather my information from many professional astrologers, spiritual websites, and tap into my own internal antenna. 

Animal medicine has been strong for me lately and just this AM, I encountered a turtle. Perfectly camouflaged to his surroundings but getting ready to embark on a journey across the street. Completely exposed and determined, he was going to conquer his fears. June's full moon is about perseverance and optimism. I might have helped him skip the dangerous part and assist him crossing the road but Fred was ready to embrace the unknown. With this moon being in Capricorn, we seek truth no matter what is ahead. Remember it is important to have protection and have shelter for our vulnerable soul no matter the journey ahead. It's ok to retreat, make a solid plan, and then charge ahead.  

All full moons have the power to assist you in letting go of things that no longer serve you. Write down what you are ready to purge. The universe is waiting with open arms to accept whatever it is that you need to release. There has been a lot of chaotic energy lately. A real build up of all the things has been steeping, Time to exhale! It's time. Write. Run. Sing. Scream. Jump in a body of water! Let it go baby!
