Moon full in Leo + Eclipse

Welcome Moon Full
(exact @ 1633 pst)

in Leo

+ Eclipse
(1434start-1731max-1853end)

… Love, honor, express

This full Moon carries megawatts of illumination (esp in concert with other earth-sky events) to help us see what must be seen. In Leo she calls forth and empowers big-heart love (nurturing and tough too), creativity, courage, and self-expression. In concert with Sun in Aquarius, we are called to bring focus to how we connect with our selves, and with the larger world/society, in ways that liberate, celebrate and honor All.

We are surrounded by a whole lot of powerful energies carrying a promise of good things and positive change – in concert with our focus and disciplined effort/action – and a whole lot of fire to empower our action (5 planets in fire signs + Grand Fire Trine: Moon-Leo, Saturn-Sag, Uranus-Aries). We are called to illuminate our hearts and souls; to engage with creativity; and to self- express with bold belief in ourselves, our truth and our passions. We are most definitely called out of hiding ;).

Energy flows in to strongly support balance between emotions, discipline and the desire for freedom (Grand Fire Trine). The energy is uplifting; supportive of positive change (Uranus), and provides a steadiness at the same time (Saturn’s effect). Any tensions (like Sun/Moon and Jupiter/Uranus opposition and ongoing cardinal cross) are offset by harmonies that soften effects (Mystic Rectangle; various trines & sextiles).

The harmonies help us integrate our knowledge and experience; lend fuel to our concentrated efforts; and provide new insights and fresh perspectives. The Sacred Geometry of certain alignments (Pentagram with Saturn atop Mystic Rectangle + point of Yod with wounded healer Chiron at apex) fuels faith and trust while also calling us to be courageously proactive, and to invest in spiritual strength as the foundation of all that we do.

Today’s penumbral eclipse (partial shadowing) opens the doors wide for the flow and expansion of positive change and all that is called forth by Leo Moon and Aquarius Sun. Although there’s not a lot of Earth in the elemental energies, the eclipse provides support for our roots.

This eclipse marks the start of a new cycle. Time now to clear-out and let go any vestiges of that which does not serve our sacred selves. Feed self-love strong and deep and let that power transform and transmute what does not aid or honor you. It is time to reset, re-center, and re-initiate. Time to be expansive and pioneering (Moon sextile Jupiter). Time to break through conventions and manifest visions (Sun sextile Uranus). Time to nurture the ‘temple’ inside and out. And, at this Moon-full, time to celebrate and honor all of you and all you do.

Leo Moon calls hearts to open wide
to flow Love and Grace high on the tide

Feel the power of the Guardians at your side
Embrace the wisdoms that are your guides

By Spirit, Earth, Air, Water and Fire,
see all the magick that has transpired.

Shine the Light on all you are and all you have done
Honor all you have nourished under Moon and Sun

Nurture your Nature

May you be filled with the Grace of you and All, &
be honored by the Magick you carry this Moon Full

 PS  Surprise! Look what was made at Moon-full exact! A rainbow! A sign of the Times! :)

1st Quarter Moon in Taurus + Cross Quarter

Greetings of Moon Half-lit
(exact @ 2016 pst)

in Taurus

stability, grace & form

Waxing Moon is now half-lit; it’s time to bring ideas and dreams into form. In earthy Taurus we are called to ground deep and strong and to take practical steps in our rising-up to live our ideals. We are supported in expanding our ways of thinking, seeing and being (Jupiter (in Libra) makes things look bigger and moves retrograde Sunday); and in finding harmony and commonality within opposites and the contrary (Venus moved into Aries today). First quarter Moon is the time of the Warrior Maiden; a time of moving forth with integrity and intent (lots of support for action from 4 planets in fire,3 in Aries).

Today also marks the ‘cross-quarter’, the midpoint between Solstice and Equinox (betw Winter and Spring in the North: Imbolc; betw Summer and Fall in the South: Lammas). This is a transition time. A time to feel into the belly for abundance and flow. In Taurus, a time to think about Earth and, more importantly, to listen to hir.

Now is also the beginning of the Year of the Fire Hen. I know many refer to the year as the Year of the Rooster but the stem-branch calendar says it’s female. Yes, she is on the rise. Female fire is about the hearth and about civilization. Fire Hen/Phoenix brings Light to illuminate the crystals we seek to set bright in the lands.

Into rich soils stardust has been cast
Time to bring forth what we want to make last

Send roots down deep for all that is just
and to Earth offer your most sacred trust

Listen to the deep drums of Danu
listen to Earth’s heartbeat within you

From the well of plenty, magick and wisdom
Let all that you dream flow into fruition.

Nurture your Nature
WisdomWild
with Love and Light

May strength, wisdom & grace be ensouled in all that you form
this waxing Moon

Moon dark new in Aquarius

Welcome in
Moon Dark-New
(exact @ 1606 pst)

in Aquarius

slow and easy;
cool head, warm heart

Lots of energy for new beginnings (Moon; Chinese New Year tomorrow; 2017 is a ‘1′ year) and lots of support for freedom, innovation, and new ways of being for each and All (Sun, Moon and Jupiter all in Aquarius). Breathe it all deeply in!

The calling for ‘new’ is strong and, in these times, what new we desire will require clear boundaries, strong stands, and consistent action (Venus-Saturn square. More support for action comes tomorrow with Mars movinginto Aries).

It is time now at Moon dark-new to hone our intentions and choose the seeds we wish to see flourish this Moon and year.

As the bearer pours forth the waters
draw on all the wisdom that is hers

Immerse in the stillness of the feminine deep
and tend to the Light that dwells within your keep

Tune to all for which you stand
and all the dreams you have for the lands

Imagine in all your deepest heart desires
born from the womb of your radiant soul fire

Out of the Moon-dark night
comes a new dawning light

Time to choose the stardust seeds of your ideals
and nourish the soils on your Earth-Sky wheel

Nurture your Nature
WisdomWild
with Love and Light
Fiona

May your seeds be divinely enchanted with the newly waxing Moon

LastQ in Scorpio

 Greetings of the Last Quarter Moon
(exact @ 1413 pst)

in Scorpio

Replenish, Re-source

Half-lit waning Moon marks the time to wrap up what was begun, slow down (slowing also supported by current Mars/Saturn square), and prepare to move into the feminine dark. In Scorpio, she calls us into the deep for reflection, releasing, and for nourishing self-care.

Sun has just moved into humanitarian Aquarius (at 1324) and calls us to take nourishment from our heart-truth, uniqueness and independence; and to attend to our ways of moving forward in service to ourselves and All.

The Waters continue to provide healing and cleansing, holding and caressing our hearts open (5 planets in water sign, 4 in Pisces). Lovely elementals cradle the space, and (aside from Moon) all planets hold positon for this waning time. Reach deep into the waters for both balance and resources for all you’ve imagined for this new year. Nurture your confidence and courage as you take rest during the waning Moon.

Stand now on the branch between Earth and sky
and scan all the lands over which you do fly

Drink from the cup held for you by Goddess Serket
and receive also gifts from her magic-woven basket

In the moment of pause between light and dark
find in your heart its’ most central landmark

Time now to dive into this sacred place
Time now to create self-nourishing space.

Nurture your Nature
WisdomWild
with Love and Light
Fiona

May you be nourished with grace this waning Moon

Full Moon in Cancer

Welcome Moon Fullness
(exact @ 0343)

in Cancer

… and the waters flow

Nourish presence

Sun and Moon calls us to both feel in deeply to emotional realms within (Moon in Cancer); and ground firmly in Earth for stability in the outer world (Sun in Capricorn). We are also called to integrate each of the four elements – Earth, Air, Fire and Water – and apply their wisdoms in action (Cardinal Grand Cross). It is a calling for aligning the needs for peace, justice, cooperation (Jupiter in Libra), independence (Uranus in Aries), and the changes and release of old systems (Pluto in Capricorn). It is a time for clearing and cleansing; emphasizing heart-felt spiritual ideals, and for our finest expressions of love (Venus conjunct Neptune in Pisces)

Feel into the healing waters
rich and flowing full
and into the heart-felt Spirit pull

In this place, clear, cleansed and blessed
wrapped in Light both gold and white
open to the wisdom of your inner sight

Tune to the fullness of Moon and
pour the wisdom into prayer-full hands
Honor and release All into the lands

Nurture your Nature
WisdomWild
with Love and Light
Fiona

Wishing you a deeply nourishing, self-honoring Moon time
