The September 2026 New Moon invites us into sacred refinement, embodied pleasure, and the courage to begin again.

Arriving on September 10 at 18° Virgo in Western astrology, this New Moon illuminates our routines, well-being, boundaries, responsibilities, and the small choices shaping our lives. Virgo reminds us that lasting transformation does not always begin with one dramatic decision. More often, it grows through simple acts of attention repeated with devotion.

From the Vedic perspective, this Amavasya falls in sidereal Leo within Purva Phalguni nakshatra—a Venus-ruled lunar mansion connected to creativity, relationships, beauty, restoration, receiving, and the life-giving power of pleasure.

Together, these systems create a beautiful conversation between discipline and delight, structure and softness, devotion and joy.

In this episode, we explore:

* The meaning of the New Moon in Virgo through Western and Hellenistic astrology

* The influence of Mercury and Mars during this lunation

* The Vedic meaning of Amavasya in Leo* Purva Phalguni nakshatra and its relationship to creativity, pleasure, rest, and receiving

* Ayurvedic support for the transition from summer into fall

* Virgo’s connection to digestion, discernment, and integration

* The yogic practices of svadhyaya and saucha

* How repeated thoughts and habits shape our energy from a Kundalini perspective

* The Tantric invitation to experience the body, beauty, pleasure, and ordinary life as part of the spiritual path

* A grounding New Moon ritual to help you release, listen, and choose one sustainable devotion

This New Moon is not asking you to perfect your entire life. It is asking you to notice what is ready to be lovingly refined.

What could become more nourishing if it also became simpler?

What if your discipline protected your softness?

What if the life you desire does not require you to become someone else—but to care more intentionally for the person you already are?

Five New Moon Journal Prompts

1. Where am I being invited to refine my life—not because I am failing, but because I am ready for greater alignment?

2. Which expectation, routine, or responsibility has become more draining than devotional?

3. What helps my body feel safe, steady, nourished, and able to trust the rhythm of my life?

4. Where have I made joy, creativity, rest, or pleasure something I must earn? What would change if I allowed myself to receive?

5. What is one small, sustainable commitment that could meaningfully transform the next six months of my life?

3 years of Moon Dance Wellness Co.
2+ years of daily Sadhana.
1 newly accredited yoga school.
36 trips around the sun.

This episode is part celebration, part reflection, part “holy sh*t...look what grew.”

As I step into my 36th year and celebrate three years of Moon Dance Wellness Co., I’m looking back at what these years of Yoga, Ayurveda, daily Sadhana, teaching, building a business, creating community + simply continuing to show up have taught me.

Because none of this happened overnight.

Moon Dance has grown class by class, student by student, practice by practice and weird little idea by weird little idea.

What began as my own desire to create a different kind of wellness space has continued to evolve into something much bigger: in-person Yoga and Kundalini classes, Ayurveda, holistic wellness counseling, mentorship, cyclical living, Sadhana, courses, community and now the School of Sacred Wisdom, officially an accredited yoga school through the American Yoga Council.

In this episode, I’m sharing the story behind these milestones, what more than two years of daily Sadhana has taught me about consistency and devotion, what turning 36 is bringing up for me, how the School of Sacred Wisdom came to life + why I believe so deeply in creating practices that help us come back to ourselves.

And because there is SO much to celebrate, I wanted to invite you into it too.

What does the August 27–28, 2026 partial Full Moon lunar eclipse mean for you?

In this episode, we explore the August 2026 lunar eclipse through both Western Hellenistic and Vedic astrology. We’ll unpack the Pisces–Virgo eclipse axis in Western astrology, the Aquarius–Leo axis in Vedic astrology, and the deeper meaning of Shatabhisha and Magha nakshatras.

We’ll also weave in Yoga, Ayurveda, Kundalini and Tantra to help you understand what this eclipse may bring emotionally, energetically and spiritually—and how to work with its themes in the days, weeks and months ahead.

In this episode:

✨ August 2026 lunar eclipse astrology
✨ Pisces Full Moon and Virgo Sun
✨ Aquarius Moon and Leo Sun in Vedic astrology
✨ Shatabhisha and Magha nakshatra meanings
✨ Rahu, Ketu and eclipse symbolism

The Moon will leave Earth’s shadow. The light will return. But we are not always meant to return to who we were before the dark.

The August 2026 Eclipse Season is here, beginning with the August 12 New Moon + Total Solar Eclipse and culminating with the August 28 Lunar Eclipse.

In this episode, we explore the deeper meaning of this powerful eclipse corridor through Western astrology, Vedic astrology (Jyotisha), Ayurveda, Yoga, Kundalini and Tantra and, most importantly, how we can actually work with this energy in our everyday lives.

The August 12 Total Solar Eclipse falls in Leo in Western tropical astrology, bringing themes of identity, courage, creativity, visibility, authenticity and releasing our need for external validation.

Through the Vedic sidereal lens, the eclipse takes us into Cancer and Ashlesha Nakshatra, symbolized by the coiled serpent and the sacred process of shedding what has become too small for who we are becoming.

Then, on August 28, we move into the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces through the Western lens and Aquarius + Shatabhisha Nakshatra through the Vedic lens, shifting the conversation toward surrender, healing, release and our relationship with the collective.

In this episode, we explore:

• August 12, 2026 New Moon + Total Solar Eclipse
• August 28, 2026 Lunar Eclipse
• Western vs. Vedic astrology of the eclipses
• Leo, Cancer + Ashlesha Nakshatra
• Pisces, Aquarius + Shatabhisha Nakshatra
• Rahu + Ketu and the deeper meaning of eclipses
• Why eclipses are powerful catalysts for change
• Ayurveda for grounding during transitional seasons
• Yoga and the practice of becoming the witness
• Kundalini, Kriya, mantra + eclipse sadhana
• Tantra and learning to stay open to change
• Simple eclipse rituals + practices
• Journal prompts for reflection, shedding and becoming

Eclipses have a way of accelerating what has already been moving beneath the surface.

We can resist the change, cling to what is familiar and try to continue with business as usual.

Or we can listen.

We can become curious about what life is asking of us and consciously participate in the transformation already unfolding.

What is changing?
What are you ready to shed?
What wants to emerge through you now?
What ends with you?
What begins through you?

You don't have to know exactly what's next.

Move. Breathe. Practice. Nourish yourself. Listen.

Allow everything. Follow nothing.

Eclipse season doesn't require us to predict the future. It asks us to become present enough to participate in our becoming.

This episode explores the powerful Full Moon of May 1st, 2026, through both Vedic astrology and Western / Hellenistic astrology, weaving ancient wisdom into a practical guide for healing, release, embodiment, and transformation.

This is no ordinary Full Moon.

In the Vedic tradition, the moon ripens in Swati Nakshatra, Pada 1, in Libra (Tula), ruled by Rahu and connected to Vayu, the deity of wind, breath, movement, and karmic change. Swati brings themes of independence, liberation, relationship balance, and sacred redirection.

In the Western tradition, this lunation falls in Scorpio, the sign of truth, shadow work, endings, emotional depth, intimacy, and rebirth.

Together, these energies ask one potent question:

What are you ready to fully release so something truer can begin?

In This Episode We Explore:

• The spiritual meaning of Swati Nakshatra and why it is known as the star of freedom
• How Rahu reveals attachments, obsessions, and karmic patterns ready to break
• Why Scorpio Full Moons illuminate hidden truths and unfinished endings
• The emotional and energetic impact of this moon cycle
• Relationship lessons around balance, boundaries, and self-worth
• Why you may feel restless, emotional, clear, or ready for change
• The sacred art of closure and conscious release

Embodiment Practices Shared:

• Full Moon breathwork rituals
• Yoga poses for letting go and nervous system reset
• Kundalini kriyas for truth and energetic clearing
• Tantra teachings on reclaiming your life-force
• Ayurvedic rituals to ground Vata and calm intensity
• Bhakti devotional practices for surrender and heart healing

This Full Moon is not here to punish you.
It is here to free you.

Some doors need closure.
Some stories need completion.
Some versions of you have served their purpose.

This moon invites you to honor endings so new life can breathe.
