AIR

Continue to refine your energy

MOON

There is a stirring beyond tending, a spark that is cracking the seed pod, willing out a tentative shoot. In the realms of Air have conversations about what is present and circulate the energy. Discernment is key. Is what you are holding ready for full release or is it simply deciding which direction to go

SUN

Capricorn Season is willing us to meet challenges and face ourselves head on. In its exaltation Capricorn will see us through with a deep trust of the earth and sky. In its detriment, it may be too head strong and determination can turn to stubborness. Watch and see how you fold into the shadow of this Sun sign. Notice patterns - creating containment and over reaching into rigidity or forging on with no structure and not creating steady foundations

ASTROLOGY

Pluto moves into Aquarius for the next twenty years - bringing a flavour of deep excavations that shift humanity exponentially

ALTAR

Begin to notice the transformation within you, like cracks of light through the egg shell, represent on your altar accordingly - the new dawn on the horizon or the tentative hope springing through the earth

EMBODIMENT PRACTICE

Moving as the seed

Curl up into a ball on the floor. Notice your body and the subtleties that you may not have been fathoming from the dizzy heights of your head. Sense the weight of yourself and the weight of gravity pulling on you. Down comes before up. Stay here - don’t move until you can be sure that impetus to move is coming from your body and not from your mind. Relinquish as far as possible to what your body is asking. Does it want to stay a little longer? Does it want to move achingly slowly from a strange place? Can you follow the current of the tide of your core - the central cerebral spine. Allow a movement practice to grow from within you - refreshing, new and unusual

JOURNAL

In the impermanence of a world that I can not know, how do I align to what is beyond knowing and is deep gnosis? What is my purpose of the ever flowing current of the tide of life and the footsteps it washes away?

FOLK HERBALISM WITH PLANT KIN

In folk herbalism Snowdrop is used to treat pain, headaches and migraines. They also contain an alkaloid which is used in the management of Alzheimers. They are reminders - beacons of hope. Tender thought they may seem - they are strong, hardy and resilient. They tend to cluster in small groups, like little families. Soon we receive a carpet of them to remind us to stay the distance. Like little lanterns they transform from the dark earth and denote the fertile journey we do not see beneath

INCANTATION

“I tread tenderly with myself as I am reborn”
