How to Make Birthday Affirmations

     In honor of my upcoming birthday and the new moon in Aries, I felt inspired to write about how to make the most of the most magical day of the year -- your birthday! This is the best day of the year to make wishes and affirmations, and you can optimize them by paying attention to what fears came up before your birthday. But regardless of when your birthday is, the new moon in Aries is also an excellent time to make affirmations because its the first new moon in the astrological year.

Lessons from the Solar Return
 
    The month before your birthday is called your solar return, when the sun is returning to the position it held at the time of your birth. During your solar return month, life can be tumultuous. Your deepest fears can come up. But from these fears you can see what you don't want in your life and what you do want. Your birthday then becomes the perfect time to set intentions for what you want to create for your new year based on what came up for you during your solar return. 

     Here are some examples of common fears. If during your solar return one of these fears comes up....

fear of failure or making a mistakefear of being rejected or criticized fear of the unknown     Then your birthday affirmation would be...

I am vibrantly successfulI am compassionately accepted I embrace my amazing future Making it Specific and Real

      Now get specific about what being successful, accepted and embracing of your future means to you. What would being successful look like? What would it look like to be accepted unconditionally? What would an amazing future look like? The answers to these questions are your wishes.

     Make a list of your wishes by writing them down. Now say them out loud and feel what it would be like to have them.  Even better, make a vision board.  You can do this with poster board, markers and magazine picture clippings. Or use one of the vision board apps.

     My favorite vision board app is Success Vision Board . This app allows you to to choose pictures from your library or the web, easily move them around, select a background, add text and share to social media or a vision board community. You can even create a slide show of your vision boards and put it to music to watch each day.

     If you put your poster vision board in a place you will see everyday, or look at your vision board app everyday, it sends a powerful message to your subconscious mind of what you want.


     Below is a vision board I created with the app from one of my own visions:
