WATER

In the direction of the West we surrender to the elemental power of water in the waning cycle of the moon. After stoking the Fire we surrender to the alchemy that is born by combining these elemental forces. We invite the intention to purify, clear and soften ~ releasing what has been shown to us in the apex of the moon cycle. 

Ho do you relate to this element within this season?

Here in the water, I let it all drift away

I allow all sensations to meet me where I am exactly

In this space I merge into oneness

There is no edge to me

I drop into the sensation and acknowledgement of my vastness and my nothingness all at once

I dissolve into this oneness

Plant medicine abounds

The earth is teeming with life force which arises in a syncronistic symphony

When everything is trying to get my attention, all the plants are speaking to me, there is possibility ~ the only thing I can do is keep coming back to steady ground and finding a sense of flowing organisation within it

It is not unusual to feel a sense of overwhelm when your personal life is full but there is also a collective overwhelm that can be felt as this earth power rises - especially with the earth and its people being beseiged

You may sense an urgency. The trick is to not fall into the trap of being carried away by this seeming sense of urgency. There is an abundance of gifts and opportunities. Here you must cultivate trust that a delicate balance between your own agency and that of your guides and the universe will in fact support your highest calling.

Like the Muse - you must learn to delight in the sensory abundance but take only what you need and share the rest

Go gently and be soft as you listen to what waits beneath the noise that unlocks a code that is for you alone

Depending on how you receive the moon and your blood mysteries there may be a fair amount of resistance to the wane of energy at the third quarter moon

If you are making medicines - consider that you can use this moon tide to create medicine that supports release

In the ancient planting calendars you would plant when the sap was rising as the energy peaked through new and full moons, honouring the dropping away energy of the autumn of the moon. The energy in this moon phase is for release - so weeding and watering

So if you are feeling pressure to build or create ~ perhaps consider under what moon you wish to harness this potent creation energy. As the moon flows from Piscies to Aries it will be easier to find clarity in what actions you will need to take under the next waxing moon

Womb Waters

Take some time to drop into your womb waters. Place your hands over your womb or energetic womb and connect to her energy. Try not to impose any fast moving thought forms onto her but rather go beyond thinking and into a state of receptivity about what wisdom she has for you. Take a few minutes to drop into the deep silent well of this being.

If you don’t receive a specific message don’t be disheartened. Like any relationship, this one with the power house of your creative energy will take time to build. Be patient, the gold lies beneath. Albeit there may be quite a few layers to unravel to find it. If you do need support - reach out and find a womb healing practitioner to support the connection.

Next time you are in the bath - consider adding a long wand of Rosemary - lie back and as if anointing your womb with sacred waters, pour warm water over her. Visualise this healing, gentle energy pouring through your womb and clearing the energetic field. I also love working with huge fronds of Fennel which turn feather like in the water
