Message for the Masses – Sagittarius New Moon 2016

by  on  • 0 Comments

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 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 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.

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.

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.

❤️

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.

This week we mount The Chariot. It is coming time to assert the new perspective gained through all that we have learned and released of late. Our destination is the Sun, who finds himself eclipsed by the Moon on March 8th. It is safe to say that whatever comes to pass this week will likely be the vehicle to change that occurs for us during the eclipse, and furthermore, will set a theme for the year. It is time to honor all that we’ve constructed thus far, and take it for a test run.

The initial focus of this energy will undoubtably center on relationships, specifically on how they size up for us emotionally and spiritually.

How we love, who we love, and what type of love do we need? These will be the questions at hand.

We are in the midst of an evolutionary tone. Venus, then Mars are in action, and swing on a pendulum between matured reality and fantastical desire. We begin with a new sense of truth in play, and the fruits of this truth could bring surprises. The gold lies inside how we maneuver these measured surprises, and the risks we are willing to take to attain our hearts desire.

Imagine yourself steering your newly constructed vehicle toward the light, then without warning all goes dark. What do you do to ensure your victory?

Do you grasp for the one you love and hold on tight in faithful devotion?

Do you push the one next to you out of the vehicle as dead weight?

Do you instinctually hold hands, each holding a reign in the other hand, trusting that your union will shine the light needed to make it through?

This week will begin to show you the answer to that question.

May we celebrate the constant of change, and ready ourselves to ride through the night in trust.

❤️
