Strawberry Rose Full Moon in Sag

Welcome Full Moon
in Sagittarius
(exact @ 0919 pdt)

In the Northern Hemisphere, the June full Moon is often called the Rose or Strawberry Moon. This is a time of openness, creativity, break-through and expansion. A time of sweetness, curiosity, freedom and joy.

Let your roots sink deep and wide
Breathe in the scents of Rose and Strawberry.
Revel in the opening of the flowers.
Taste the sweetness of fruits of your Soul
Expand into the more of Spirit Being

This Sagittarius Moon opens a portal to opportunities. It is a time of much movement (initiated by a grand fire trine – Moon, Uranus, Jupiter). A ‘kite’ (triple conjunction -Sun, Mars, Mercury in Gemini) activates creativity. A ‘T-square’ (Sun, Moon, Neptune) calls us to Spirit presence; to spirit seeing and action in everything. Of course, this T-square plus Jupiter in Leo can also tempt excess so remember to call on the Earth energy that’s been inviting us to keep grounding these past few weeks.

Now is the time to Celebrate all that has come to fullness in this cycle. Time to look at what is revealed under the full Moon light. Time to pause, feel in, honor and release.

Sag Moon calls us now to create new stories; to gain new perspectives; to find new creative approaches; to expand into bigger pictures and greater truths.

  Come fully into Heart presence and spaciousness.
Align with your curious, creative, loving, free and joy-filled Self.

Personal Note

With all this fire energy there is much movement and excitement but, Hold Up!. It can be very tempting to overdo.

Remember to pause &
pace yourself
Do one thing at a time
Stay grounded
Be gentle with yourself.

I recently got caught up in firey eagerness and excitement of doing new things (in the garden specifically) and ‘forgot’ about pacing and gentleness. Consequences? Back protested (Ouch!) and I’ve since been spending a lot of time horizontal or on my knees or ‘on the ball.’ … Yeah, I’m still working on cat purr-fect. LOL.

On the upside, these are great positions for reflecting and meditating. Good timing what with the T-square expanding the spirit-lense and MercR’s call to step ‘back’. AND, with all the up & downing, getting lots of pause and movement! (hee hee)

Grateful for these things and for Sag Full Moon shining the light brightly on things; for Neptune magnifying guidance available from inner wisdom; and to Body for slowing me down when I ‘forget’.

Take good care of yourselves and remember to go slow – esp when you want to go fast – and pace yourself while you create new stories, gain new perspectives, and delight in a boundless dance.

Wishing you inspired questions,
bright revelations,
expansive breath,
sweet freedom, and
joy-full hearts.

Nurture your Nature

Moon half-lit in Virgo

Greetings of the waxing 1st Q Moon in Virgo

The half-lit Moon calls us to pause and attend to balance. In Virgo, we are called again to Earth, just as we were called at Moon dark.

Plant your feet firmly on the ground and
feel the support of your foundations.
Breathe deeply into this moment and Be as Tree.
Feel your roots firm and solid.
Allow your branches to move gently with the wind.
Feel into the stillness of the motion and allow yourself to be breathed.

Welcome the pause of your Tree Be-ing and be nourished by your stand. Here is a place to rest and begin. A place to re-member and to return whenever there is need.

More for the times…

I wonder what soul seeds called to be planted and nourished this cycle, and how the planting and tending is going. The 1st Q Moon time is the time when seeds begin to push through their cases and plants begin to sprout new leaves. It is often a gentle, fragile time. It is also a time when the desire to move and to do increases, and there can be some ‘wrestling’ that goes on in the process.

Be guided by Virgo Moon energy and her call to practical matters; to re-organizing and re-thinking plans. Yes, attend to details: Set your aim on those that can be ironed out, and that make your path more free.

Sun, Mars and Mercury are all in Gemini so things may feel a bit ‘up in the air’ or scattered. Remember Tree and Earth your Being.

The Gemini energy, together with retrograde planets may invite distraction (especially given MercR’s reputation and tendency for schedule, technology and communication glitches). Open to the potential of interesting detours.

Moon is currently opposite Neptune and can heighten ‘tension’ (aka paused eagerness to move). Bathe in the rising waters. Invite them to buoy your efforts and provide healing. Allow All to flow.

Yes, become Tree-Being. Willow, Cedar, Grand Fir or? Dance with the winds, fluid and joy-full. Express your couer-ageous Self.

Personal Notes

I have certainly been feeling the energies of the season. Yes, much has been ‘up in the air’ and yes, there’s been some schedule wonks (e.g., almost 5h wait due to overloaded and delayed ferries! Sheesh! ;))

It’s a good time to take things lightly!

And to take time to enjoy nature and to express.

Here I share with you Panel 2 (work in progress) of the 5-panel ‘Elemental Wisdom’ painting I introduced to you at LastQ Moon. It represents the Air element; an invitation to feel feather-light.

Wishing you sweet sproutings, inspiring detours, and Light-ness  of Being!

Nurture your Nature, Wisdomwild

Dark Taurus Moon

Greetings of
Dark Taurus Moon
(exact at 2113pdt)

Ah yes, time to pause. Time for nurture in the feminine dark.

Moon and Sun both in Taurus call us to attend to the gifts of Earth.

Sink roots deep in the rich fertile soil of you and
Receive Earth’s nourishments for mind, body and Spirit.
Be present and attend to Be-ingness
Wonder into the sparkles of your Heart and the
Soul seeds calling to be planted and nourished this cycle.

Venus (ruler of Taurus) draws our attention to love, art and beauty.  She is now in sensitive and compassionate Cancer.

See, scent, taste, touch, and listen with your heart
for all the whispers of love sent out and received.
Move with creations and dance with delight
Be filled with the beauty of the Wild.
Be Re-sourced by the wonders of Nature.

Yes! Nurture your Nature, WisdomWild, with Love & Light

Mercury will station retrograde tomorrow (until June 11). Draw on this time to take pause and move slow (Taurus likes that). Enjoy the energetic space for introspection, reflection and being wholly in the present moment that MercR provides. Welcome the time and opportunity to be filled with the comfort of Heart-full Being, aligned with the natural rhythms of Earth, Cosmos and You.

Special notes for this time & upcoming

Now, with Taurus and Venus, is a good time to truly embrace the senses.

Have a luxurious bath.
Massage your favourite oils or lotions into your skin.
Light candles and set flower on the table.
Make a wonderful meal of fresh foods.
Enjoy the beauty of Nature and all she has to offer.

And with MercR and some sky ‘meetings’ upcoming (Jupiter/Pluto Thurs, and later Venus/Pluto), DO choose to Pause and  create space to listen to inner wisdom.  Express kindness and self-caring.  Keep focus on Spirit, filled w/ Love & Light. <3

Wishing All an ease-full, heart-joyous, soul seeding time!
Nurture your Nature, Wisdom Wild, with Love & Light

Waning Moon

Welcome the Waning Moon
now in Pisces

It is time to align with the waning time.

Yesterday, the last quarter Moon (exact at 0336pdt) was in Aquarius; as of last evening (1940 pdt) she moved into Pisces. Today Moon conjuncts Neptune in Pisces and trines Venus in Cancer. Mars just moved into Gemini (more flexible but less focussed). Saturn (discipline, responsibility) and Pluto (transformation) are both retrograde, slowing things down.

Moon calls us now to pause and take stock of all that has been initiated since the new Moon. Time now to finish up (for now) what was initiated at the new Moon. In the office, home, studio, garden shed, or wherever your works have taken you, it is time now to gather up, clear away, and create space for moving slow, taking ease, and resting within.

As you prepare to move more deeply within, let your thoughts and ideas play with the wind.

Bare your feet to the warm earth.
Breathe in the notes of lavender and meadow grass,
jasmine and rose
Step into the sweet waters and
allow calm to flow.
Release your bright magicks into the Myst and
watch the rainbows dance with your own inner light.
Honor your power and your sensitivity and
Make this day one to just Be in Spirit joy
Embrace the art of you

Nurture your Nature
WisdomWild
with Love & Light

Personal Notes

The Calla Lily is one of my favourite flowers. Calla means love; Calla lily means to express love. The Calla Lily symbolizes the feminine aspects of rebirth. I so love how they unfurl.

The Calla Lily is also a sign of purity and feels so appropriate to the waning Moon time for this is a time when we release and ‘purify’ ourselves of all that has gone before, in preparation for what is to come.

This image is from ‘Elemental Wisdom’, a 5-panel painting I’ve just begun. This panel represents Earth. Deep dark, rich browns, fecund greens, flowering brightness, and a  still presence. I hope it speaks to you of these things. Do draw on Earth to  Nurture your Nature, Wisdom Wild

Scorpio Full Moon + Cross Quarter & Amarylis

Welcome Full Moon in Scorpio (exact at 2042h pdt)
and Cross-Quarter  soon (May 5 at 1243h pdt)

Full Moon! A time of illumination and full-fill-ment.
Look out at all that you have created that is now lit brightly under the fullness of the Moon.

It is time both for celebration of all that has been claimed and released. . . and for discernment.

Breathe deeply of the fullness of the time. Honor all that has come into being, and all the gifts given and received. Look also for what may have lain hidden – a new opportunity to explore, or chaff that needs to be swept away.

Scorpio Moon calls us to delve deeply into all that may be hidden, buried or not as yet unearthed; to remember and re-member the deepest parts of ourselves. Taurus Sun supports us in the undertaking with fertile, feminine, grounded energy. A powerful fixed T-square (sun and Moon with Taurus Scorpio and Leo, all fixed sign) aids us in identifying that which is old or deeply ingrained and in need of airing or release.

Explore the magic of connection between self, life force and source. Do so with open expansiveness. Seek new alignments that empower expression of the greatest good for us and All, and bring these into form.

Two days from now we will be at the halfway point between Equinox and Solstice (Beltane in the north; Samhain in the south). This is a time when it is said the veils between the world are thin. It is a powerful transformative time and made more so with a Scorpio full moon.

Draw upon the sacred power of the present moment. Honor this time with earthly play. Dance with colorful ribbons (north) or in rooms garlanded with roots and gourds (south). Celebrate creation, hearts and life full! And in all ways,

Nurture your Nature,  WisdomWild,  with Love & Light

Personal Note – On Balance and Form and Transformation
As always, Moon calls us to balance. At this time we have Taurus Sun and Scorpio Moon in the heavens. Taurus and Scorpio are ‘opposite’ each other on the wheel and, while we may consider them polarized, we can also see them as complimentary. Through them we are called to balance: form, simple and tangible (Taurus); and transformation, mystery and the intangible (Scorpio). While Taurus and Scorpio embody different kinds of energies, it is the weaving and union between them that transforms and gives form.

I see these teachings/learnings in Amarylis. Some of you may have noticed a barely open bud in the 1stQ Moon image post just a week ago. I have been tending and witnessing Amarylis unfurl since that first budding. I wondered if the blossom would be full by full Moon and indeed, yes, two blossoms are full, directly opposite on another. And between them, two more buds are beginning to open. I suspect they will fully open at the Solar cross-quarter.

A metaphoric dance of Moon and Sun, 4 blooms, each at a point of the compass. How magical is that? Root, bud, time, awakening bloom, unfolding, sacred flower emerging.

Tend the Sacred Flower that is you.
Unfold from the deep knowing within.
Be nourished by earth and water, caressed by the wind
and warmed by the sun.

Wishing All the deep illumination and fullness of Moon bright

Nurture your Nature
