This New Moon, like many, asks us to be a bit selfish. It asks us to look in the mirror and find nothing but our best qualities. It then asks that we celebrate those qualities, honor them, and cherish their importance. They're part of what make us each so wonderfully unique, allowing us to each bring something new, interesting, and valuable to the table.

It also reminds us of the importance of creativity. Even if we're not particularly artistic, that doesn't mean we can't be creative, and it doesn't mean we shouldn't try to create things anyway. All art is worth making, as it's all expression. Whether it's dancing around your living room or painting the next masterpiece, creative expression allows us all to connect with the deepest, truest parts of our soul.
