Starting on Saturday, August 29th<\/sup> we\u2019ll be experiencing one of the six major \u2018supermoons\u2019 of the year, a time when the moon is especially close to the Earth and the full moon effects are particularly strong.<\/p>\n

This month\u2019s supermoon will be in Pisces, making this an especially powerful time for art and creativity.\u00a0 If there are any projects involving art or self-expression that you\u2019ve been putting off, *now* is the time to start them!<\/p>\n

\"Don't<\/a>
Don’t miss your window!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is also a particularly powerful time for empathy, and connecting not just with your own inner world, but with the inner worlds of other people. Sensitivity will be especially high, so be wary of people acting particularly thin-skinned, but trust your hunches about what it is that may be bothering them.<\/p>\n

Also, play particularly close attention to your dreams over the weekend and early into next week, this is about as strong as the connection between your conscious and subconscious minds is going to get, and as such your dreams may be particularly strong and insightful.<\/p>\n

Because the sun will be in Virgo, there will be a push and pull between inner ego needs from Virgo, and inner emotional needs from Pisces.\u00a0 The placement of the planets\u2014Jupiter and Neptune in particular\u2014will magnify this.\u00a0 There may be a lot of interest in talking about deeper emotional topics, but if you find the conversations getting overly analytical or critical, it\u2019s time to change the subject!<\/p>\n

Above all else, this is a great time for introspection.\u00a0 This is going to be one of the best times of the year to ask yourself what you really want, and what you really want to release.\u00a0 Take the time to look inside, and pay close attention to what you find.\u00a0 And above all else, don\u2019t ignore or dismiss your own emotions; if you don\u2019t respect your feelings, you can\u2019t really expect anyone else to, either.<\/p>\n

One word of warning, though: For those who consider themselves to already be sensitive and\/or empathic, this boost in energy might prove to be a bit overwhelming, leading them to find ways to self-medicate; so if you, or anyone you know falls into this category, be careful out there.<\/p>\n

Luckily enough, if anyone you know is going into overwhelm, chances are very high that you\u2019ll be able to sense it, too.<\/p>\n

You are great, and I love you!

He is the winner of the \"Be the Next Beleifnet Featured Blogger\" contest for Beliefnet.com in the Hope & Inspiration category. He is also the host of Rise UP with B. Dave Walters on Party 93.4 FM out of Hudson Valley, New York, as well as a nationally syndicated columnist on the topics of spirituality and relationships for the Examiner.com.

For years, friends and relatives looked to him for guidance and support during difficult times, and he realized at an early age that his purpose in life was to serve and inspire. While touring as a personal coach with a prominent rock band, he was discovered by one of the top trainers of the Anthony Robbins companies, which lead to him settling down to open and operate a Marketing, Business Services and Coaching firm in Los Angeles. Armed with an insatiable thirst for knowledge, he brings the same discipline and determination that helped him earn Black Belt rankings in Shaolin Kung Fu and Tai Chi to all areas of study and focus. In addition to earning a degree in English from Morehouse College, he has mastered the science of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and other communication, healing, counseling and spiritual systems from all over the world.
