Waxing Moon half-lit in Libra

 Greetings of the Waxing half-lit Moon
(exact 160711 @ 1752 pdt)

Love & Light in form

Light is rising in the dark. Moon half-lit in Libra brings the energies of balance, peace, and harmony, and we become further attuned to Love and beauty (Venus moved from Cancer into Leo last night). Breathe deeply of all good things and anchor them deeply in.

Water and Fire will be dancing in ‘balance’ this week. (Moon moves into Scorpio this afternoon; tomorrow Mercury, like Venus yesterday, moves from Cancer into Leo). The waters continue to nourish creative energies and the desire to bring feelings into form – writing, painting, dancing, music-making. Leo fuels courage and confidence, and the rising fires radiate the light and warmth held in our Being.

When Water and Fire dance, the need for flexibility and adaptability is strongly called forth. Draw on the shape-shifting nature of water and fire, moving with what comes. There could also be some mental ‘tripping’ that arises (building Mercury square Uranus) that may stall, distract or discourage. Mind the mind. Move into pause and focus on peace, beauty, freedom, love and light.

Emotions unfurl and integrate in the waters
Rising fire radiates light and warmth
Breathe in to all that matters
in the heart of your heart.

Draw the waters and fires
up through your deep roots
nourish the seeds that hold your heart-truth

Courage, confidence, and charm
now is the time to bring
harmony, beauty and all good things into form

Nurture your Nature

May love and light be expressed in ever more radiant forms this waxing Moon!

Moon dark-new in Cancer

 Greetings of the New Moon in Cancer – and A LOT of water energy!

Nourish roots & seeds

The energy felt through May and June has begun to dissipate and there is a sense of greater ease and spaciousness (esp as Merc & Mars have moved direct). With this new Moon we are welcomed by an abundance of water and a pull to home, friends, family and health (4 planets in Cancer). As the new cycle begins, we are called to attend most particularly to what is close to home, in physical space and within.

Sensitivity, empathy, and creativity are heightened.. With all the water energy (7 planets in water signs + Grand Water Trine), we are empowered to flow with what is and what comes, and to feel deeply, and more deeply still, washed by the waters into which we release and by which we are cleansed and refreshed.

If you have been enjoying time in the dwelling place of your heart – forest, mountain, desert, or otherwise – continue to enjoy, and look also into the roots of your innermost dwelling place (Cancer connects to roots and ancestral wisdom). Like Crab, move sideways too and investigate each rock and cranny and pool.

As Moon light gains over the next two weeks, find new ways to anchor all that you have found that nourishes and nurtures you, and plant new seeds in that service. This is the call of the lunation at this time.

Connect and drink deep of waters
fresh from rushing River and trickling Stream
and all those running in the home of your dreams

Stretch down into the roots of your Being
and into the ancestral wisdom that within resides
enjoy all the treasures and open to new found surprise

From all that nourishes you and keeps you both soft and strong
choose the special seeds that sparkle and glisten.
the ones that softly whisper when you closely listen

Time now to plant in the Earth of your heart and into the land…
Time to bring forth into form the grace of your Spirit’s hand

Trust in the Mystery and your intuitive insight
Welcome forth new wonders under Moon’s gaining light
and, as always, all ways,

Nurture your Nature

May you be wrapped in the magic of Cancer’s nurturing shawl and
plant nourishing seeds for you and All.

Waning half-lit Moon in Aries

Welcome Last Quarter Moon in Aries (exact at 1119 pdt)

Rest & rejuvenate in the land of your heart

‘Tis the waning Moon and time to attend to the wisdom she carries.

We’ve had two full Moons in Sag in a row with the new Moon of the first cycle in May initiating energies that would grow through two cycles culminating with Moon full last week. The energies have been in-tense and challenging at times as old beliefs are challenged and transformed by other ways of perceiving, serving and connecting.

Hearts have opened; love overcomes fear and radiates more expansively; and healing powers are strong (intensified now as Chiron moves retrograde). The desire to transform continues (Venus is Opposite Pluto Thursday) as we continue to dig for the roots (Merc moves to Cancer on Thursday) and explore what can be released and what new ways may be claimed (Mars in Scorpio moves direct Thursday)

It is time to pause now under the waning Moon. Time to gather up and reflect upon the learning of this cycle… and release. Draw on the Sun in Cancer to focus on your innermost dwelling place and gently tend emotions that are carried in the waters. Receive the wisdom of Falcon, Aries’ totem animal, and attend to the natural rhythms of your body and the surround . Draw on the fire of Aries Moon and honor the fire within with deepening self care. It is time to breathe in all that has been enlightened, and to let go into rest and rejuvenation in the deepening dark.

Move in to the forest of your heart,
deep green, moss soft, nourished by Fern and Tree;

or to the mountain, clear, fresh, and
strong of rock graced with lichen medicine

or into the desert to commune with aunt and uncle Saguaro,
their arms raised in greeting;

or to wherever is the land in which your heart most joyfully dwells
the place where exists an inherent sense of calm and well-being
and a connection to all good things,
the place of Great Spirit, yours and All in everything.

Trace the patterns of leaf, lichen and between-spine glossy skin
the lace and filigree of energies woven
in Earth, Air, Water, Fire and all our Kin
the essence of All, our internal Zen.

Enter there now and take rest, this place of peace, your sacred nest,
and

Nurture your Nature

May you rest in the peace and serenity of your grace-filled heart
this waning Moon

Moon Full in Sag

Welcome Moon full-bright (exact @ 0402pdt) and Solstice too (exact at 1534pdt)

Center, ground,  refuel & rest

This is the second Sagittarius full Moon in a row (the last at 1st degree Sag; this at the last degree of Sag) and ‘completes’ what was begun at the new Moon in May. There is fuel to transform and expand whatever calls for creation. The power of the archer’s arrow now carries visions beyond distant horizons and finds receptive and fertile grounds (Jupiter, Sag ruler, in Virgo). Soon after full, Moon moves into Capricorn earthing the visions and bringing support for creating new forms.

Just hours after Moon full, Sun moves into Cancer at Solstice. The occurrence of a full Moon at Solstice is somewhat rare (occurs every 30 years or so). In the north, this is the peak of Sun and Moon, masculine and feminine, yin and yang, facing each other in full power. In the south, it is the time of the longest night, the deepest feminine dark. Emotion, intuition, and creativity is high.

The push to transcend whatever divides or otherwise impedes us is still strong (and will be for then next 5 months or so – Neptune retrograde) as is the call for compassionate vision and for unity and oneness – not just in principle but crystallized in form in this space and time. We are washing away and building anew. In these weeks, again and again. This is a journey of heart-bridging; moving from what was, to the more awakened, enlightened, inclusive ways that are being urged into Being. (Neptune-Saturn tight square into July. This alignment doesn’t occur again for another 18 years). What we catalyze now is significant.

We are living in eventful times. Right now there is a spectacular rush of energy, and insistent energy, for lasting shifts (Moon at an Aries point). It is a potent time to nurture and expand whatever it is you wish to bring into being.

It is definitely a time to be centered, grounded and self-nourished – in mind, heart, body – and tuned to heart-truth, inner wisdom and Spirit. Always good practices but especially important right now. Focus on gentleness, sweetness and love (Venus now in Cancer as of Fri Jun17). Find strength in flexibility and mutability (mutable grand cross again activated). Take small steps into the extraordinary. Spend time near home, in nature, at rest, and in healing (Chiron trine Mars at full moon)

Open, open to the white and golden light
both in the day and in the night
sparkling stars, bright Moon and Sun
look now upon all that you have done

The feeling- thinking walks and talks
investigating and taking stock
listening for each and every gentle knock
deepening the integrity of your heart & world walk

Heart, mind and body cleansing
healing and shifting, outside and in
creatively transforming out-dated skins

Radiant Being you have aimed
into the heart of your heart and into heaven and Earth
igniting love, light and truth most spectacular
A dazzling call for peace and freedom for All be attained.

Rest now and re-source in soul-full ecstasy and

Nurture your Nature

May you honor your gifts and your connection to All!
