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.

❤️

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 King of Pentacles has offered himself to us, serving as the rooted earth our deep waters run through this moon cycle. It is the time of year in which we have the most access to those who came before us, inside and out, above and below. In our busy lives, we often forget about who we came from, we forget what we are, and that there are lifetimes of people and places and circumstances that have allowed the possibility for our very existence. Now is the time to connect with those anchors in our earth banks, and thank them in remembrance, in reverence, for all they did to clear our road.

We also have the opportunity to recognize the haunts of the past, both our own and those of the ones who came before us. We acknowledge the wounds we carry that keep us locked in limited understanding of our potential. The thin veils of this time provides direct access to the source of those wounds in ways that we are not usually afforded.

This moment is the time of champions, hollowing out old festers, and creating space for new constructs that are cleaner, sharper, perhaps even prettier, than the ones left rotting in the corners of our minds. We are creating hallowed ground from old drain pipes, and learning how to live in the dark gutters of our subconscious. We are not out of the woods yet in this mutation. The dark shadows of what kept us in a cave are bellowing out for food, as we have starved them all year, and now we must find the nerve to bring them to their final end. This sacrificial act allows the space for the light to break through, and shed illumination throughout as we slough off the old form.

Our psychic within has got its hand up begging to be put in the game. It is her time to shine, and guide us through the realms that are usually hidden. She is asking us to give her the day in the sun she so richly deserves, and allow ourselves to be shown all of the things we’ve built with our ghosts in the underworld. By opening our other eyes, we erase the spooky speculation behind our fearful curiosities, and see once and for all that the boogey man is really a simple projection, without form, without substance.

May we push our hands through two dimensions, and give thanks for the long road home.

The Empress revisits us on this Libra New Moon with kudos in her pocket for the diamonds we formed over the last months. She delivers kisses and comfort, encourages us to take the new eyes grown of late, and allow what we see to soak into our hearts. We ride the winds of kind approval as this new cycle begins.

We follow our senses to our true calling. Natural rhythms lead us to destiny as we listen silently to what whispers beckon our way. Creative force is our guide. This is our moment in this year of mutation to take our shiny new skin out to the world, and begin to see the new relation, bringing us into harmony with whatever comes.

New eyes and new hearts don inaugural gestures of affirmation. We are called to feel into the depths, and find love for all that surrounds us. We see what we could have been missing through the annoyances and perceived pain. Sensations of connectedness are sweet medicine as we purge our need for space, remembering we are always free.

May we ride the wind in love, and welcome expanded forms of connection.

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 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 4, 2016

by  on  • 1 Comment

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.

❤️

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.

❤️

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.

❤️
