Moon Dark-New in Sagittarius

Greetings of New Moon (exact at 0229h) in Sagittarius

It is the beginning of the 13th and last new Moon cycle of the year (coming into full light on Christmas day). Celebrations of Light are core to many traditions at this time of year. Here in the Northern Hemisphere, the darkness provides the gift of being within. Still, I look forward to welcoming Solstice and the days of increasing Light. ;)

Sun and Moon together in Sagittarius add light and warmth to the cycle. Sag is filled with optimism, boundless faith, strong philosophic leanings, and playfulness too. Sun in Sag call us to attend to our vision for a better world. Invite the fire to inspire and guide your vision, emerging in form with the waxing Moon.

There are a number of other patterns (squares, trine, oppositions) in the skies these days as well. They are variously both supportive and challenging. The challenge is the continuing push to let go of the past, of separation, and of limited thinking. A great invitation to look to the new! ;)

A mutable grand cross (involving Jupiter, Sun/Moon, and Chiron) supports us in releasing, healing, and making changes and space for the new. Other patterns activate breakthrough, transformation, spiritual wisdom, ease, flow and harmony.  Draw and focus the powers of these activations into your intentions and ways of Being this cycle.

Sit by the fire of your heart
and in the glow, sense in
to what Spirit longs to seed and grow

Draw out the sparks of your intuition
and the whirling mandalas of your intentions
choosing carefully from deep reflection.

Gather these now all together in
a magical, medicine bundle
sacredly made, special and humble

Now set bundle to arrow
and arrow to bow,
take aim and let fly!

See the dreams and the wishes
bursting forth bright in the skies
showering brilliant seeds upon Earth

rooting nurture, caring, compassion,
peace, love, freedom and faith,
deep into the calling for
enlightened, new world rebirth

Nurture your Nature

Half-lit waning Moon in Virgo

Welcome the waning
Half-lit Moon
(exact @ 2340 pst)
in Virgo

. . . Enter the deepening

Moon half-lit calls us again to attend to balance. Time to sift through our workings, gifts and learnings of this cycle. Time to release what is no longer needed, and gather up all that we wish to honor and retain. Moon in Virgo is great support for the efforts as she draws us to practical tasks, to making order and attending to details along the way. More deeply, Virgo calls us to be in harmony with cycles and rhythms of nature.

Saturn & Neptune are just coming out of square and provide additional energetic impetus to attend to balance with Saturn drawing attention to our habits and patterns; and Neptune calling us to remember a bigger picture expansive with love, sustainability and freedom. On Friday morning Venus moves into Scorpio, further stirring our deepest desires. Delve now into the deepening dark and prepare for the new Moon to come.

Find a moment to pause
in the space between light and dark
between the practical and the mystical
between the known and the unknown
and breathe …

See in the Light and in the Dark
the gifts you bring and release
Feel into the wholeness of your Being
Earth and Cosmos woven

Under the tender gaze of Virgo Moon
Honor your heart unfettered
Open to gentling love and self care
grace-filled in the deepening dark
and

Nurture your Nature

Wishing you deep and gentle journeys under this waning Moon

Full Moon in Gemini

Greetings of the Full Moon (exact at 1444pst) in Gemini
… and a lot else going on…

Be present in the moment

Full Moon in Gemini lights up all that we have been collecting and distributing. Sun just recently come into Sagittarius expands whatever holds our focus. This full Moon occupies and activates two powerful transits: a rather tense T-square (Sun, Moon, Saturn, Mercury square Neptune, all in mutable signs); and a more easeful grand air trine bolstering passion, courage, nourishment and self-worth. The upside: lots creative potential and supportive energy.

That said, it’s been true for me and perhaps for you too so I’m just going to say it: this is one tough Moon time. The energies are complex, contrary, confusing, raw and finely nuanced too. There’s a lot of mutable energy about (all the planets in the T-square + Jupiter too) and any nicely ordered and, neatly folded life is bound to feel/get messy.

The Saturn square Neptune relationship (exact tomorrow and the first of three into 2016) is a complicated one. One wants order, rules and borders, and the other wants unconditional love and freedom. The full Moon light shines brightly on both and our work is to blur and dissolve the tension, the fears and the doubts. It is time to draw on beauty, gratitude, compassion and imagination, and to fuel our faith and trust in the powers they hold.

Start where you are
in this moment
and breathe into your sacred presence

Release fears, tensions, and doubts
into the high full Moon tide
and watch them dissolve and vanish
like sand castles in the waters’ waves

Start where you are
in this moment
and breathe spaciousness into being
whole and filled with grace
expansive in the heart Wisdom of you

Start where you are
in this present moment
in this presence moment and

Nurture your Nature

May you be resonant with blissful grace and spaciousness
under the fullness of this Moon
and
Happy Thanksgiving to All in the USA!

Waxing Half-lit Moon in Aquarius

 Welcome the waxing Half-lit Moon (exact at 2227 pst) in Aquarius

The moment between light and dark in equal measure; a balance of opposites. The half-lit Moon invites us to find our own balance in this moment. Time now to release the unneeded, reintegrate, and prepare to move into the increasing light. Sparkles of Moon dark-new now soften, blend and expand under the waxing Moonlight.

This morning Neptune in Pisces moved direct (at 0830 pst) activating the mystical and illuminating an ocean of possibilities. Moon in Aquarius calls us to focus on the unusual, the unconventional, and the places where our freedom lives. Expansive Jupiter (in Virgo) guides us to our magic, and Saturn (in Sag) fires our soul-reaching purpose. I invite you to draw on all the elements in this shifting Moon time.

Pause in a moment between opposites
and cast to the winds
the last whisps of extras unneeded
in your new found skin

Receive the pouring of Waterbearer’s light
and Neptune’s waters’ gentle caress
and feel yourself filling with all that feels right.

It is time now to create, time now to express
the heart of our wisdom, our magic, our Being
all that has arisen from our collective deep dreaming.

Nurture your Nature
WisdomWild
with Love & Light
Fiona

May the waxing Moonlight bring warmth and fullness to you and All in your surround.
