Moon Full in Scorpio

Breathing with Full Moon
(exact 160421 @ 2224 pdt)
in Scorpio.

Shadow dancing in the Light

Yes, indeed, we have entered intense waters with Scorpio, supercharged by the full Moon, and affected by retrograde energies as well (especially with Mars & Pluto, the ancient and current ruler of Scorpio, both retrograde).

Scorpio teaches us to seek the mysteries and desires that lay deep beneath. To shed our skins and surrender to the wisdom within ourselves. We are called to flush out fears and see what there is that still needs to be transformed. It is time to drink deep of the power of imagination and give a new potency to all that we create.

Currently four planets are retrograde; in a week there will be five planets in retrograde. That hasn’t happened in more than ten years so it’s a bit of ‘an event.’ When planets go retrograde things can get turned around and energy can be amplified. I treat retrogrades as a time to ‘step back’ and get a bigger picture view. It’s a time for getting another perspective and processing the new perceptions that are revealed. Also time to be a bit more diligent about timing and scheduling ;))

**Notes on Retrograde planets: You are probably very familiar with Mercury retrograde effects re: communications (Merc moves retrograde Apr 28). Jupiter, Mars, Pluto and Saturn are the other retrograde planets calling for some step-back-bigger perspectives. Jupiter is about expansion, transformation and core beliefs. Mars is about what where we are going and why, about actions, and about potentially aggressive/assertive energies. Pluto is about transforming old forms, and letting go of whatever holds us back. Saturn is about ‘karma’, and more particularly about shifting defeating patterns and weaknesses into wisdom and strengths…. Step back; gain new perspective.

Yes, transformational energy is definitely full-on and ramping up! And beyond the familiar too! (Ongoing T-square). Fortunately Sun is now in earthy Taurus and we are also supported by a grand trine in Earth signs (Jupiter in Virgo, Pluto in Capricorn & Mercury in Taurus) to help keep our attention on our senses and practical matters.

Overall, a lot may be uncovered/revealed over the next while. It’s a good time to slow down and take time for what gently feeds your heart and soul: art, music, dance and rejuvenating time with Nature. Ground and anchor health in all domains – mind, body, heart, Spirit. Take your bigger picture view from the heart of your heart. Feel the pulse of Earth and Cosmos resonant in you.

Enter the grove within your Soul
Stand naked under bright Moon so full

Shed your skin and unfurl your wings
Move high and low and deep and steep
Listen for all that makes your radiance sing.

Invite the shadows to come to dance
Engage them now in a new romance
Earth, Cosmos and you, a new found resonance

Nurture your Nature

1stQ in Cancer

Greetings of the waxing half-lit Moon
(exact at 2059)
in Cancer.

Half-lit Moon invites us to pause; check-in with ourselves and our plans; and make whatever alterations may be necessary to re-balance.

First Quarter Moon in Cancer brings both emotions and boundaries to the forefront. It can be challenging to bring visions into form as we move from the ethereal to the material. Cancer guides us with emotional signals to inform the boundaries that are needed to stay the path. Do not hide. Now is the time to stand in the light and be seen for who you are.

The energy in the next while may be a bit push-pull, stop and go. Movement forward is supported by fire energies and the waxing Moon. The draw to step back and go within comes from both Cancer – wanting calm and quiet and, really, to just sleep in – and from planet retrograde energies current (Saturn and Jupiter) and upcoming (Mars and Pluto retrograde April 17, Mercury near end of month).

As usual the half-lit Moon activates and brings seeming opposites up for review. It’s time to find a stop-go beat that nurtures our movement both out in the world and within. A time to listen for the thrumming of our hearts and of Earth. A time to keep time with the rhythm resonant with both inner knowing and outer expression.

Stand in the light of the waxing Moon and shining stars
with courage, kindness and faith in all that you are.

Bring forth new stories born of the fire
Find the rhythm that resonates with all you desire

Move your body, heart and mind with the beat
Dance in the flows of the cosmos and in the ground beneath your feet

Feel the dream as it weaves into the form
All you imagined truly now being born

Nurture your Nature

May your heart dance to resonant rhythms of dreams and forms!

Moon Dark-New in Aries

Welcome Moon Dark-New
(exact at 0424h pdt)
in Aries – and the abundance of fire.

This is an intense, powerful, and transformational/transcendent Moon (Moon square Pluto). Many consider it to be one of the most powerful new Moons of the year!

Fire energy abounds! (6 planets in fire signs: 4 in Aries & 2 in Sag). Whoosh! New Moons are about new beginnings but this one is highly charged with active fire! This is all about awakening, purifying, initiating, and beginning newly anew!

This Moon calls forth uniqueness, experimentation, and new invention (Sun/Moon conjunct Uranus); and there is support for manifesting and anchoring new ways of Being (Moon trine Saturn). This Moon cycle we are challenged to trust our insights and inspirations; to transcend old stories and create new ones more suited to our radiant selves; and to take risks to manifest our dreams. Invite the fire to fuel your imagining, your insights and your inspirations!

Step with intention into the purifying flames
and feel the life essence of your Spirit untamed

Be the new born lamb finding delight in the field
Use the wise eyes of innocence to see all that is unsealed.

Deep in the fires new stories are dancing
White hot coals sparkle your new enchanting

Feel the internal fire blazing as you drum your feet upon the Earth
Earth Cosmos and you full-bodied expressed
Time now to flow in transcendent rebirth.

Nurture your Nature

May you be filled with a new sense of your essence and be delighted!

LastQ in Capricorn

Greetings of the  Last Quarter Moon
(exact 0817 pdt) in Capricorn

Clear, cleanse, nourish

At the last quarter Moon we are called to pause, regroup and reorient. The light is waning and it is time to clean up, clear out, and prepare space for reflection and some time out. This cycle it could take a bit more effort, and could be a bit more challenging, for various reasons.

Whatever has been churned up by eclipses is still in the affective field – individual and collective. Further, we have Aries Sun wanting action and movement (and not much reflection ;)). Draw on Aries energy to dive into activities that are calling for attention — including firing up reflection ;). Capricorn earth energy will  help ground actions taken.

Moon in Capricorn is a time of emotional and psychic restructuring. There may some discomfort here since Capricorn (opposite Moon’s ruling sign of Cancer) can be a bit rigid and there may a longing for the comfort of nurturing waters. Fortunately there are still three planet in water signs (Venus, Neptune and Chiron, all in Pisces) so drink in the love, compassion and healing provided by them.

Pause under the Capricorn Moon
and feel into Earth connections
and All to which you are attuned

Set Aries’ fire upon your hearth
and let it burn Spirit-guided
to warm your path

Whatever waves come high or low
invite compassion and let it flow

It is time to trust in letting go
with faith in wisdom and All you know.

Nurture your Nature

Wishing you firey clearing & earthy rejuvenation this waning Moon!
