Message for the Masses – Aries New Moon 2017

The-Tarot-Minor-Arcana-Page-80-Queen-of-Wands-514x700

The Queen of Wands is here with us providing the fuel we need to power ahead. She gallops in on her horse with mirrored solitude on her back as she rides. We are surrounded in this moment by the drive to know who we are, as we simultaneously remember that we are not alone. The warrior in us lives lonely at times when the fight is over, and unsure of one’s place with no battle ground to bleed through.

This moon cycle is the moment our tightly wound springs break loose into trees of abandon. We fly through the air with passion and splendor as we move forth toward new life ahead. “Hold nothing back” says our heart. It is a time to leap and lift over all of the things that stand in our way. We blast them to the ground with our intention as we lift, and hold truth as evident inside. We venture out of the night to come forth with fire tipped blessings of our best selves blazing through the darkness in kind.

Spirt moves its wand to show ourselves in focus as we walk. Our individuality is on show with this moon, and it is the part of us that rages through the night. The warrior within is begging to be repurposed, and so we are charged to tap into that fire, drink of the holy spark, and spit truth in flames without caution.

We are invited to see who we are as individual, and establish our stance in new order. Our individuality is essentially a grounding rod for how we then take that image, and project it toward another. Every aspect of ourselves is reflected by another.

How do we remain sovereign as we invite reflection?

Sensual pleasure beckons us toward living in the center of union. Each element of union connects in a dance that lives inside the essence of trust. Trust is hard to come by when the warrior lives in battle-mode without softening. Soft focus brings light to a steel mask lifting from one’s face. Remembrance shows our name echoed in fire rimmed heartstrings, connecting to old ghosts created in union with the past. We sever the cords without bloodshed, and place our heart inside the elemental reciprocity of divine grace.

May we grant ourselves permission to know our mighty hearts as they beat toward love.

❤️

Message for the Masses – Virgo Full Moon 2017

The Two of Wands holds us steady in a crossroads between mind and heart. We find personal power between these two staffs as the priestess lives inside the cross, forming a reciprocal alliance. The wands cross and uncross, and sink into the earth as our power of deduction beckons the light. The ethereal realm is teeming with energy within and around us. The full moon affords us an extra push to invite our mind to usher us to the ground as we explore the heavenly realms.

This moon cycles gives us the chance to see the grime and beauty for what it is, and make assessment. We are surrounded by the cosmic consciousness in all elements as we move through seemingly undeserved shakes. Thinking brings more turmoil as we rush to make sense of it all. Our mind wants what our heart desires unless it doesn’t make sense. The high heart wants to help the mind know, but waits for moments of quiet, giving room for her soft voice. Without quiet the only way the heart can lead is through fire and force, driving undeniable evidence to the surface, and pummeling the mind with oceans of love and wounding.

How does foresight align with heart’s desire?
Do my dreams live at the edges on their way to fulfillment?
Where does the intersection of camaraderie between my heart and my head live?

When we can lead from the intersection we find the fuel to power forward with guided elegance. We hold two truths at all times, one lives in the ethers and one lives in the physical. We steam ahead with surety inside the void in trust. Voided certainty rules this cycle, so we must accept the non-sensical as guide, and find the strength to allow the mind to catch up after the fact. The fire of earthy dominion is here for embodiment. We walk with the priestess toward oblivion, and trust that our mind knows it’s proper place.

May the ocean flow around us with our feet firmly planted just underneath the sand.

Message for the Masses – Sagittarius New Moon 2016

The Death card precedes us on this day of the Sagittarius New Moon. The fires of mutation are transforming into energy, giving the cue that our time in the shadows is soon behind us. This moon is the fire that illuminates our higher selves, and brings into consciousness our new sight. With this new sight we are able to see across far horizons through starlit eyes, and set our aim toward the visions that bring new life. Jupiter’s wife is joining this moon and gives us a reminder of the necessity of balance in relationship.

Love grows in the arms of balance, showing us when is it best to surrender, and when it is important to fight for what we know to be true. If we never surrender than our ability to fight when it matters is dulled. Constant fight only brings fatigue. We must know when it is time for a warrior’s rest, and allow the dark times to be a cushion of preparation for the new fire to kindle.

Our drive toward the vision ahead can only exist with creative force. Creative force can only exist with rested grace. Without the grace of creative force we are steaming ahead with no magic. The magic lives within the connection to source, driving our soul’s intentions ahead in ways we may never comprehend. For this reason we must be quiet, and listen for the proper signal.

The transition from death to new vision can bring sore discomfort, and sometimes will tempt us into believing that living with the carcass of the past is preferable to stepping toward the unknown. We must trust the silent whispers that coax us forward, and know that the rotting flesh of the past does not feed our senses. There are roses ahead with our name on them, and if we follow that scent we cannot go wrong.

The archer’s stillpoint is our best bet for the coming weeks. Developing an eye so sharp that the aim is unmistakably hitting the mark of destiny. We are rounding out the last pieces of our new form, and the skin shed now is the essential step into the cannons of a new day. We find our balance like a toddler finds first steps in these coming weeks, and we commit ourselves to the relationships that we know feed us with light and love. The aim of discernment is essential as we shepherd forward distinguished sight, and remember that benevolent guides lead us toward light filled blossoms when we follow the whispers.

May we see in expanded hues, and surround ourselves with those that enhance this vision.

The 9 of Cups has leaped our way to beg attention toward our heart’s desire. Spirit is granting our wishes with extra fire right now. We must be sure to listen for our soul’s content. We are called to utilize the power of this moon cycle to fulfill our dreams, and allow our wishes to come true. It is time to believe that happiness is attainable, and make the move toward it with no excuses.

This power packed Aries Full Moon upon us tomorrow is potent with electrical magic. We are poised to drive full steam ahead toward our dreams and wishes if we ride it properly. This moon cycle is the moment when any remaining slumber is interrupted, and we have a grand choice to make about the manner in which we wake up. The choice is equivalent to the difference between waking up to sirens blaring, terrorizing us out of sleep, or leaping out of bed willingly and crying, “Let’s DO this!” at the top of our lungs. This is a moment for decided action, leaping without looking, and allowing ourselves to be pushed to our edges.

Passion rules this time, and any plugs in the passion will undoubtedly blow without dedicated attention to them. The mutation is complete, and now is the time to blaze in on our horse of splendor, and announce that we have arrived with new gusto.

What are your next steps in this new form?

Where is the best venue for your enlivened heart?

Who belongs at your side as you revel in your new skin?

These are the questions that will guide the path to fame. The Goddess in all of us has been crowned, and now the Hero will be granted the same respect. We must step outside of the same old, same old, and allow love to reward us as the brave new world promises more than we could ever imagine.

Allow the Divine to fire the cannons. It is our moment of glory. Take it with honor, and run toward love.

May our souls stoke the fire of destiny.

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

by  on  • 0 Comments

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.

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.

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.

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.

❤️

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.

❤️

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.

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.

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.

The divine law prevails as we slide along the sword of Justice. Faith is reminding us that we can steer, but we cannot rule the flow.

Recently I was staying in a hotel, and woke to news that there had been a fire in the building across the street in the middle of the night. I was talking with one of the bellman about it, and he shared his fear of how scary it is to live in a building of apartments because it just takes one person who you don’t know to do something that can destroy your home. He waxed that at least when you are in a single home you have more control. To which I replied, “Well, I suppose we never really have control. All we can do is have faith.” He smiled, took it in, agreed and I saw his fear visibly dissipate.

This is it, every single ounce of feeling in control is an illusion. It doesn’t mean we won’t feel it, or crave it, or at times count on it, but true faith asks us to know that, even when we rely on a sense of control in a certain moment, it is an illusion. We are allowed the illusion as long as we keep the truth in perspective.

It’s like the fun one can derive from a magic show. We know it’s illusion, but it feels good, and can be a wonderful source of comfort because it helps us believe in something that doesn’t seem possible. Life offers the same opportunity, yet to get there we must have faith beyond what we believe to be real.

Justice presents us with the ability to ease into the flow and find the sweet spot that reveals the truth. Once the truth is revealed, then we respond. Any other approach leaves us flailing like an erratic balloon contorting through the air as it releases its gas. Instead, perhaps we can meet Venus for a lovely gondola ride, and allow the beauty of the ride to be our driving force.

May our sense of balance be precise, and our surrender to it be swift.

❤️
