Happy Full Moon!

Moon Art by Barbara Szepesi Szucs

“The Full Moon in Scorpio is bringing light to all the shadow dynamics that lie underneath the surface- the very things we don’t want to look at or have been avoiding dealing with are likely to come to Light right now.
The Full Moon is at the midpoint of Saturn and the North Node- which is pretty potent on many levels…Both Saturn and the North Node push us beyond our edge- and it’s not the comfy, cozy familiar space we are used to.
Many of us spend a good deal of our present lifetime resisting our Saturn/North node growth- and yet it’s only when we get aligned with it that we will start to evolve into new directions, dimensions and frequencies
Steering clear of power/control dynamics with others and instead using this energy to dig deep and get to the root of patterns playing out that are Sourced within is the only way out and through.
This is not a time to act impulsively or restlessly or to react out of anger- but instead a time to reign it in, think of the long term consequences and get your lower will aligned with your Higher Self and it’s trajectory.”

Happy New Moon!

“Aries season has kicked into full gear. The whole Universe is blooming, igniting, taking back the light, and the upcoming New Moon, clocking in on April 7(11:24 AM UTC7:24 AM ET), at 18 degrees 24 minutes of the sign, is the cosmic wake up call that urges us to take part in this seasonal renewal with the same vehemence and candid audacity. Gone are the turmoil of the Eclipse season, and the intoxicating haze of March’s Pisces stellium: first, the Vernal Equinox rushed in with a flood of vitality, pushing through the hibernation of winter, and clearing the way for the new astrological year; this brisk, vigorous New Moon follows in its wake – forceful, insistent, spirited, commanding us to crack open like seeds, to sprout, to let our lifeforce shoot forth.

Every New Moon is a cosmic doorway to a fresh start; New Moons allow us to shed old skin, and break ground for new cycles. The start of every lunation marks the ideal time to pursue an emotional and spiritual reboot, and this is especially true for a New Moon occurring in the sign of the pioneer, warrior and pathfinder. Raw and impetuous like the new life that must fight and compete to ensure its own survival, Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac for a reason; without its proactive, assertive push, there would be no separation from the source. No manifestation. No evolution. No existence. It’s this very same push that initiates us into a brand new phase of self-actualization, urging us to reclaim the Self, to fulfill our individual destinies and to do what it takes to overcome our inner and outer struggles.”

“Ultimately, self-compassion is a series of choices, a moment by moment conscious turning away from that which will harm your spirit toward that which will nourish and sustain you. It is choosing, in any particular situation, and over and over again whether you’ll treat yourself well, or beat yourself up, whether you’ll deny yourself, or treat yourself as lovingly as you’d treat your child or your most precious friend. Self-compassion means looking at yourself with kindness, with a conscious awareness of your sufferings, and in time, with a deep appreciation for the way you have transformed them.” ~Daphne Rose Kingma from Loving Yourself: Four Steps to a Happier You

“I cannot be born On solid ground, Only where everything flows. To enter my dawn You must be unbound From how the fixed world goes. Leave behind your maps and losses Let dreams be all your law. Trust the wind When the ocean tosses Burn your boats on the farther shore. Make new songs And your floating island Will be rooted beneath the waves. Drink my sun And you dance on the high land Your heart, remembering, craves.” ~Robert Moss from Dreamways of the Iroquois: Honoring the Secret Wishes of the Soul

Happy Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse!

“Lunar eclipses add extra power to a Full Moon, bringing old emotional patterns and complexes to our awareness so that we can release them.
The Cosmos is giving us an opportunity to face the truth about ourselves. Fear will always be prowling at the door. Let’s use Aries’ bravery and daring to face our fears and bring them into the Light and make peace with them.
Will we be accepted? Will we be good enough? Will we be able to support ourselves? Face those questions with a big resounding YES! Why not?  We’re in a new story, remember?
Yes, sometimes the world is a scary place, but why let that stop us from living the life we were born to live. We are all being called to go on our hero’s journey out into the world. Begin. Now is the time, and this is the place. And don’t forget to Dance!”
