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?
I soften, I release. How does it feel in my body to let go. To surrender some tasks, some thoughts, some patterns, to watch the waters cleanse and renew that which stays to be revived and rebirthed
Whilst we may be moving into ‘Summer’ holidays in the sense of the Gregorian calendar and the sense of flow dictated by our ancestral harvest pattern. Actually we are to some degree closing out ‘Summer’. We can feel confused as our bodies attune to what is actually going to be moving towards Lammas and first harvest by the end of this month.
It is helpful to consider the effect that this possible dis-regulation has on us and our flow state
Next Steps on the pathway
As the moon goes dark you will be sent a link to the EARTH content
The moon is now in her last quarter lunar water phase in the initiatory fire sign of Aries.
How can we initiate the smoothing of edges to allow the tumble stone to take form. We are not static ~ and yet we believe we should ‘stay’ in a certain state. Or that what we are, or what stories we hold define us. Can we recognise and action an awareness within ourselves that pours a balm on these old wounds. Knowing that this is far more about integration of what has been, than trying to change, fix or eradicate a part of ourselves. How can we allow the purifying waters to soften us to ourselves. To clear the grubby reflection and create new expanded perspective.
Lunar suggestion
What does it feel like to do a ritual in the last quarter phase of the moon?
We put so much emphasis on new and full moons, but to really flow in harmony with the cycle, none of them should be considered more important that the other. Consider how you might balance this aspect. Perhaps if not in this last quarter but in the new first quarter of the building moon
