Hi, I’m Liz Shaughnessy-Rowe, and I’m so excited to welcome you to this sacred corner of the internet—a space where lunar wisdom, intentional living, and celebration come together. This blog is more than just a collection of words; it’s a central hub for connection, growth, and magic.

Over the past several years, I’ve been on a transformative journey of self-discovery, one guided by the phases of Grandmother Moon and the cycles of nature. What began as personal healing has grown into a vibrant community of women gathering under the moonlight to share, connect, and grow together.

By day, I’m a passionate advocate for wellness and community building at Right to Heal PTBO, and by night, I embrace the role of a moon guide, helping others align their lives with the celestial rhythms. I believe in the power of ritual, the wisdom of the earth, and the magic within each of us.

For me, life is about balance—between work and play, between planning and surrendering, and between dreaming big and taking the small, intentional steps to make those dreams real. My Capricorn Moon keeps me grounded in this work, teaching me the beauty of structure, the importance of perseverance, and the joy of seeing seeds planted in the soul grow into something extraordinary.

Why This Space Exists

Through this blog, I hope to create a space that inspires you to explore, reflect, and celebrate your own unique journey. Whether you’re curious about the moon’s influence, looking for inspiration in your rituals, or simply seeking a community that celebrates growth and connection, this space is for you.

Here, we’ll explore topics like:

• How to align with the moon’s phases to set intentions and release what no longer serves you.
• Seasonal rituals and practices to stay grounded and inspired.
• Ways to balance your dreams with the practical steps needed to bring them to life.

This blog is not just about me—it’s about us. Together, we’ll flow through life’s cycles, celebrate its joys, and support each other through its challenges.

Capricorn Season: A Time to Dream Big and Build Foundation

It feels beautifully symbolic to launch this blog during Capricorn season, a time when the cosmos invites us to set intentions and work steadily toward our goals. Capricorn, ruled by Saturn the “Taskmaster”, teaches us the value of structure, discipline, and perseverance.

Winter aligns perfectly with Capricorn’s energy. Beneath the frosty ground, there’s preparation happening—just as within us, dreams are germinating, waiting to bloom when the time is right. This season carries the energy of completion and renewal, tied to the number 9, a numerological symbol of completion and transformation, paving the way for fresh beginnings.

Field Mouse Wisdom: Believe in Yourself and Dream Big

At a recent gathering of women’s wellness practitioners, I pulled a card from the Spirit Animal Wisdom Oracle deck that couldn’t have been more aligned with the energy of this moment:

Field Mouse: Success. Believe in yourself and dare to dream big.

The Field Mouse, though small, reminds us that size doesn’t define potential. Its success comes from careful planning, resourcefulness, and unwavering determination. It’s a powerful symbol for Capricorn season, where even the tiniest steps can lead to monumental achievements.

This card felt like a direct message for me as I embark on this blogging journey. The Field Mouse’s lessons are clear:

• Believe in yourself: Trust that you have everything you need within you.
• Start small: Big dreams are built one step at a time.
• Dare to dream big: Let go of limitations and imagine what’s truly possible.

Embrace the Energy of Winter with These Practices

Winter is a season of rest, reflection, and preparation. Here are some ways to align with its energy and Capricorn’s ambitious spirit:

• Intentional Journaling: Use the quiet of winter to journal about your journey so far. What lessons has this past year taught you? What seeds do you want to plant for the future?
• Practical Dreaming: Pair Capricorn’s practicality with your winter dreams. Create a plan that turns your big aspirations into bite-sized, achievable steps.
• Pause and Recharge: Winter isn’t just about doing—it’s about being. Allow yourself to rest, reflect, and enjoy the peace that comes with the season.
• Mark Your Milestones: Acknowledge your progress, however small. Write them down, share them, or celebrate in a way that feels meaningful to you.
