Message for the Masses – Pisces Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse 2016

image

The 6 of Cups flows into our realm as we welcome the Pisces Full Moon today. Innocence is at our feet, ready to be claimed. The claim comes as we ignite the drive needed to walk into caves of circumstance that have previously caused pain. Healing lives inside these caves, and this moon cycles gives us the gravitas to transform festering wounds into gardens of wonder.

The secret to the method is to approach with nothing but good will. Trust that these caves have been revealed once again as a gift to show our divine worth, and leave behind remnants of perceptions of victimhood. It’s the victimhood that creates the pain, not the actual situation. Our perspective has the opportunity to walk through a new portal.

With the meticulous, earthly work that we’ve done over the last two weeks, our feet are surely stable enough to walk into these caves on solid ground. We have built strong enough foundations to allow the old, decrepit structures to fall. This work began at the beginning of the year, and now we are called to trip the wires, and allow the explosion to instead be a melting ebb of light washing away hard knots of anger and resentment.

New structures are upon us, and they sparkle with possibility, but first we must find comfort in the void. The void is simply unbridled potential. The unknown we fear inside it is potent with infinite space for all our wants to be met threefold. Now is the time to sense into what is on the horizon. Use all senses to draw in what is next. What does it feel like, smell like, look like, sound like? We are called to take a moment to meditate this into form.

We are afforded just enough definition and fire inside the undulating questions to reveal the missing link that ushers us to manifestation. The salve for these perceived wounds is accessible through dedicated surrender. Observation with intent will show us the new view. Our child eyes have mutated, and now we must return to the story that existed before innocence was lost.

May our starry eyed heights lead us toward ease and wonder.

Message for the Masses – Virgo New Moon/Solar Eclipse 2016

seven-of-swords-stellas-tarot-by-stella-kaoruko-takako-hoei

The lone wolf is our sentinel as the Seven of Swords creeps through the night eluding perceptions of thievery and hidden dishonor. The trickster has made a stunning performance this year within a background of mirrors and funhouse distortion. It’s been a crapshoot working out what’s real and what’s fiction. Even the best of us have had moments where it seemed the only recourse was to flee. Holding secrets close to the hip, this lonely friend skulked from melodies offering nothing but love. This love appeared as a demon, come to threaten the will of the known. In truth it only challenged us to leap with faith into a bath of golden water.

Tomorrow we enter a new season of growth. Having found no refuge in the night, we begin the pilgrimage back home to gaze into the eyes of love once again, and find our true north. Queries from the past are asking us to see our stories in a new light. Focus has been hard to come by as images and holograms thrust past our lies in the periphery. The only recourse has been to fall into the stories, and see where they lead us.

This moon cycle is our shot to set it all straight, find solid footing. We are offered a chance to shed light on the ways we have fallen from grace, and turned our eyes from love. Now is the moment to move toward the sun, and see what truly lives along those paths of fear. The twist is to figure out how to do this with compassion, recognizing our own personal humanity. Criticism and judgment are what forced us into this solitude in the first place. As we walk back down the most recent paths taken, look into the eyes of love, and say, “yes please” to forgiveness, to connection, to humility. The monster we believed we were running from is simply a friend anticipating us knowing our true worth.

May our haunts bring us joy, and create channels of beckoned knowing.

The Queen of Pentacles has arrived with the gift of form. The mutation we began at the beginning of the year rounds into its last phase with this gift. It is time now to allow the new form to take shape. At its highest vibration the tone of the recent months has sung a song of self-inquiry and self-care. This self-centered focus has served the purpose of elevation. We are destined now to crown the Queen. Allow her to take her rightful title, and remember herself as divine. It is time for the coronation of our inner monarch.

In the next days we are offered an inferno to shape the contours of our shift. The roar of the warrior will release the wisdom. It is imperative that we howl at the moon this week.

Howl, for real.

Howl!

Within this howl lives prayers to divine manifestation. Release old haunts, allow the banshees to fly free. The harpies will carry them away with the wind if we ask. It is time to release these tricky travelers from our domes, and allow the gold to settle in.

Sensual perfection is in order. We can achieve this with discipline. There is no room for anything but delight, and we must stand firm that any sense of doom is a temptation best left on the shelf. Connection can help us believe that. Within the solitary study we extend our reach to those who have been with us through it all.

Pat them on the back.

Show them love.

Honor your brother, honor your sister, honor your lover, honor your friend. They are our mirrors, and illuminate gifts of reflection that carry us through the journey.

May our shape emerge with sparkling wonder, and shoot roots into the depths of trust.

The 2 of Pentacles is doing cartwheels around us this week, begging us to lighten up. Swirls of laughter and bendable cares live within the potential ahead. Fun is at our knees if we can bring ourselves down off our high horses to dance in the dirt. We are juggling colossal feats these days, and it’s time to infuse pleasure into the process.

It’s easy to get weighed down in our imaginary woes. The temptation to view things through the eyes of struggle is seductive. It beguiles us with the illusion that there is someone to blame for our ennui. In truth, there is no one to blame, including ourselves. The only truth is love. So why not celebrate whether it seems time or not?

Play is holding our hand as we walk through the channels of circumstance. Our perceptions of pressure lessen with this fool hearted friend by our side. Soon, as is if by magic, what felt like a demon towering over becomes a puppy in the corner licking his wounds. It is this form of transformation that provides the inspiration for new journeys. New love is around the corner.

This is the time to express ourselves with royal zeal through doing the things we love, with the people we love. Creation is at our fingertips, and conveys sure promise of solid ground.

What makes you feel boundless?

Who brings giggles to your heart when you look in their eyes?

With whom can you write gibberish and receive accolades of love?

The answers lead to the path of freedom, and assure levity as you undress your layers. We must allow the vulnerability that comes with a wide open heart to lead us to oceans of connection. Trust that the cords do not bind, yet instead remind us of the source of it all, providing safety to let go into the pulse.

May we catch and release each moment with agile grace.

Message for the Masses – Week of July 25, 2016

major_empress

We are wrapped in the arms of the Empress this week. She brings gifts of good tidings, and intentions of birthing light. Grace trails her path as she walks us toward our bounty. We begin to emulate her, allow our warts to drop to the earth, and cycle back to the beginning of time.

Mother’s’ milk infused with sweet success is at our disposal as we ride mighty hills of magnitude. Gifts may arrive in the form of surprises. We may hear things we never thought we’d hear. We may be met with gestures we believed were too good for us. We may feel strength we didn’t know we had. If we look close enough at the warts as they drop, we will see they are diamonds taking form.

We are being called to play hard and raw, and love ourselves in the process. Sing your burning desire at the top of your lungs in a field of torches. Charge into the night carrying flames of glory. Allow your inner child to know that the stories you created of your crimes are false. We are bound for greatness, and this week’s fire will drive us toward it.

May we love our empty longings with gentle fervor.

❤️

Message for the Masses – Week of July 4, 2016

queenofwands

The Queen of Wands sets fire to our hearts and points us toward desire. Our time in the fire anoints us with glory, and we are ready to love.

We are ready to love.

We are ready to receive love.

So love and only love.

We are guided toward the Sun, and Venus remains by our side. Thoughts no longer lead us. Our hearts are in charge now, any attempt to hijack will be futile. Full surrender is the utmost form of expression.

The time ahead is infused with energy to teach us deeper ways of understanding the care we need, and how to translate the fruits of that care into loving the world around us. Foremost is care for our self, and then we give the overrun to those we love, and also those we don’t. This is the cycle that gives us life; flow in, flow out, and grace lives in the middle.

This week is straight up water and earth. The floodgates open now, and by midweek the current hits ground, and crashes upon the shore. We can catch that current as long as we keep our roots strong. The fire lives inside us, and fuels our float along the flow. We must allow the fire in our chests to burn, and the flow to temper that fire. Without the flow we turn to ash. With the flow our old, unsavory parts are carried away, giving room for the dawn of knowing ourselves without question, without shame, without guard, only in love.

The gift we are offered is release, pure, unfettered release. To get there we must ask,

What do I need to clear to receive love?

What am I carrying that is weighing me down?

Who knows how to love me, even when I don’t let them?

The answer to these questions will set us free, and carry us down the river.

May we release the haunts of shame, and invite the booming feed of love.

Message for the Masses – Week of June 20, 2016

image

This week the archetype of the Victim visits our hollows. With arms outstretched en route to the light, our victim serves us with honor in the face of a dragon. Hurt runs and feeds this lonely one heartache laced judgement, giving no room for the heartless to don their lost hearts.

We must allow our hearts to fall. We must know that falling prey to the perpetrator only happens if we don’t honor our victim.  Our victim begs for love, overshadowed by whiles of wonder. Alarms ring broken, hoping for the day acclaim is received, through love, through healing, through going with the flow.

Our charge this week is to transmute the victim into the Hero. Despite looks away, and wishful leaps for glory, we must face this dark music, receive slides of our ugly. She is vulnerable, and soft, and open to receive the love of forty horses trampling through unaware. He is the eternal optimist who takes leaps fit for fools.

The trickster continues to run amok, running shows with veils so thin the truth is tainted with translucent sheen. The victim holds strong, ready to fall if you call. For she is the Hero inside out, and one does not live without the other. The wisdom of this is the magic we seek. Avail this heartfelt love only mothers can fork.

When was the last time you honored your victim?

When was the last time you assured him it will all be ok?

When was the last time you allowed her the triumph to stand tall, and say no to the one who would feed from demise?

As much as we wish to deny the existence, we are never without this stalwart ally. She is the call to pick ourselves up and ride toward the Sun once again.

May we honor our weaknesses to shine light on our strengths.

❤️

Message for the Masses – Week of June 13, 2016

03e0c9e7c81d1bacaf709f7dfc7b7bdf

We rise from the ashes with the flames of the Phoenix, guiding us toward a new chance. A treasure trail of deaths remain behind, disintegrating as we aim for the dawn. Those deaths have led us here, and we stand new, raw, open. Smoke bellows from our wings as we enter the kingdom of stardom, and we have no other option but to soar to new dimensions.

It is our charge this week to be sure to allow space for the new to enter. Often when we stand at the threshold of a new dawn we are tempted to run back to the known, and find false comfort in rotting flesh. We must know that this impulse is fueled by fear, and anything fueled by fear is simply an illusion. The devil is a tricky fellow that presents images of what we think we want. He feeds us soup laced with regret, making us believe that we have failed, and are not worthy of this new expanded view.

This week is the moment to refuse the trickster, and use our fire fueled wings to ascend to our destiny. Faith is the antidote to the poison of illusion. Risk is the only way into the kingdom. I say to you on this fine new day that every single ounce of you deserves this acclaim, this fortune, these new wings. Use them to champion your purpose, and know that you are held in the heavens.

May we leap through love filled bounds, and allow ourselves to know joy intimately.

Message for the Masses – Week of May 30, 2016

The Queen of Swords graces us with her presence, drawing a clear line in the soil before us. The space that is created by this line is potent with possibility, shoring up loose ends and gaping vulnerabilities. Girded with this royal support we walk with straightened spines like antennas primed to receive. We stake our boundaries with illuminated proclamation, declaring the higher octave as home.

We stand in the center of a cross this week, and its points wiggle like the end of a weathervane riding the wind. First north, then south, then west, then east, we are afforded the chance to see from all angles. The trick is to walk each direction with care, allow each perspective the chance of truth, and weigh the potential benefits evenly. This is a week to gather ideas, honor each thought as a prayer, and choose with precision the lens those thoughts blaze through.

The Sun and Venus lead us along in a game of drawing lines, weaving webs, and defining entry and exit points. Each of these actions create opportunities. What may feel impassable is much more likely an opportunity to see ourselves from a higher view. It is our duty to raise ourselves to the moment, and uncover the love that has been bestowed upon us within motions of dense definition.

Consider the shelter a closed door provides in a windstorm. Our charge is to allow any such closings, either doled or received, to be our shelter, and walk toward the new realm knowing we are loved.

As the week closes, circuits display in darkness. The New Moon promises us both sides of the coin. Neither side is more or less true, and we are blessed with the fortune of choice.

May we walk each direction with the light of possibility, and revel in the abundance of chance.

Message for the Masses – Week of May 2, 2016

image

This week we are encouraged by the Hanged Man to let it all go. As we turn upside down the worries and fears fall like change from our pockets.

When I was a kid I loved doing gymnastics. If there was room to flip, I flipped. If I had the choice to walk or cartwheel, I cartwheeled. My favorite move was a back walkover. I enjoyed seeing the world upside down, and then taking the opposite route to standing. I can see now what a gift it was to dare to see the world upside and down so regularly.

As we walk into this new week, at the beginning of this new month, leading into this new season, guided by this new moon; Seems time to remember how good it can feel to see things from a different perspective.

After all of the shake ups over the last few months we are in a period of grace. We are granted the space to take stock in a new way, a fun way, a pleasurable way. It’s time to settle in home, and sink deep into what pleases the senses. Venus is our best friend right now. She beckons us to come out of our hard outer shells and softly writhe in sensual delight.

The Hanged Man is our first step into that realm.

May we hang our head in pure pleasure, and allow our feet to be held in grace.

❤️

Message for the Masses – March 21, 2016

The Heirophant stands before us with Socratic inquiry. Who are you now that the protective covers of your wounds have been peeled away?

Rawness and vulnerability have ruled our view through this elliptical period of morphing rebirth. We begin to see how those wounds have historically informed our beliefs and ideas, particularly around how we relate to others; Perhaps allowing for the courage to surrender and make amends. The Heirophant assures us of the design of this metamorphosis, and leads us into a time of burgeoning clarity.

This week offers us that moment just before we charge. We are infused with a jolt of awareness. A rush of surety allowing us to leap forward in ways we may not have dreamed possible even mere months ago.

Wednesday’s Lunar Eclipse in Libra ushers us through the last portal of awakening in this eclipse season. Light bulbs flash in spectacular visions that demand to be taken seriously. We have the spirit of the warrior in our bellies now as we hear the call to action.

Did you catch the scent of the changing winds? They are at your back now, compelling you forward.

If there is desire for someone to be at your side as you charge ahead, tell them…now. If you are realizing ways that your wounds informed your story, rewrite it…now. If there is a road block that you created because of those wounds, destroy it…now. We are called to move forward with clean intentions, fit for the divine beings that we are.

May we capture flashes of clarity and transform them into action with a new found flare.

Message for the Masses – Week of March 7, 2016

image

Our week begins on the eve of the Solar Eclipse in Pisces, no wonder the spirits greet us with the exploding Tower. Bubbles are bursting left and right in our general reality, and we are no longer allowed the luxury of illusion.

These times of sudden change understandably incite fear in our hearts, and beckon us to believe the fear as truth. What an injustice this does to our spirits, as fear leads us nowhere but deeper into delusion. We are called to push through the fear and sit, wide eyed, inside this uncomfortable gift, and allow the new sight.

These jolts are offered as promotions to the next level. We are graduating tomorrow. Deception no longer has a hall pass. The uncomfortable truth is mutating into a blessing that allows us to see our true path. The more sever the blast, the deeper the blessing. This compression breeds diamonds, and in the coming months we will wear them with honor if we stand strong, and don’t allow ourselves to be buried in the rubble.

The key to weathering this week is attitude alignment. If we welcome ourselves as victims, or rage against the crashing current, sure destruction awaits. If we surrender in solid strength, and allow the current to deliver us to the shores of perception, treasure awaits our weary souls.

Mutation can be painful, and this week could add salt to that gore. Our hearts are cracking wide to receive the light of the Sun, and that is rarely comfortable. New versions are birthing, and reason doesn’t pay the bills in this new order. As we struggle to grasp what is actually happening, rest assured that no matter what the circumstance it undoubtedly supports a process of evolution.

The best approach is to mimic the creation. Spill your guts out on the page, the canvas, the dance floor, through the eye of your lens. Release the expression and the light will come. Our journey through the night will eventually wane, and the dawn will bring us sober completion.

May we ride the river of darkness with grace, and allow our hearts to crack as wide as the ocean.

We climb into the week with the load of the 10 of Wands on our back. The last couple of months have revealed a lot. We have had no choice but to see all of the excess baggage we carry through our days. A new awareness of the weight we bear dons the opportunity to unload what is no longer essential to our well being. This week we are called not just to let go, but to really feel the quality of this load.

Where did it come from? What does it look like, smell like? Where do we carry it on our body? What sparks the impulse to pursue life as though it’s a true part of our vehicle?

The beauty of this moment is that the cosmic energy gives us some space to do this unpacking. As we lead up to Monday’s Full Moon in Virgo, it allows the solid ground to make a mess in order to clean it up. Each piece asks to be examined. It is a week of observation and sorting.

Do I still need that hurt, where is it getting me to hold on to it?

Is repeatedly reliving the memory of that old love really feeding my soul, or have I turned it into an impossible screenplay?

We must make ourselves lighter.

The times ahead demand the ability to move with nimble grace.

As we move through the load we may see things that we don’t like. Fight the urge to shove it back into the hiding pockets in your field. Those hidden knots do nothing but fester, slowing us down and making us believe we are ugly.

Instead find the courage to look at it directly. See it exactly for what it is. Accept it. Set it in front of you on the table and draw it. Facing the burden head on leads to disintegration. As the barnacles disintegrate we can breathe a little deeper each time, allowing greater endurance for the journey before us.

May we all welcome the grace of the virgin to begin anew and unfettered.

❤️
