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?

The moon is now in her last quarter lunar water phase crossing between the fixed earth realm of Taurus and the mutable Air realm of Gemini

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. Can we reinstate a relational way of being in a new light? Can we shore up the pathways of release to allow a steady flow of surrender and acceptance

What are we willing to transform in ourselves in fire Season? What has been transformed in the light half of the year? As we reflect on what has come about - how can we celebrate what is going to be harvested across the next three ‘thresh’-holds. How can we find deep solace in what has come about. In the lessons of what has passed and in the opportunities we have to take action. Where is it time to finally let go, allow, accept and surrender. To truly embody that we are exactly where we are meant to be

Last Quarter Moon

This particular lunation point falls on Saturn day - Saturday - Saturn is the ruler of restrictions and karma. It’s potent to consider our self responsibility and when it is necessary to take charge of our energy. Being at the weekend we are thrown into the tussle of allowing our bodily (Taurean) pleasures and yet having to connect with our Mercurial (Mind) and honour the balance of pleasure with the response-ability to keep us safe and on the path of alignment to fulfil our souls longing. Notice how this mind-body dance is playing out today

Lunar suggestion

Ensuring we honour all parts of the cycle is important and ritualising the first and last quarter of the moon cycle can support us to reconnect with those important elements.

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. That said - I am particularly interesting in how you are honouring acceptance and release so if you can - do try to put some focus here in whatever way you feel called

You attention is your intention

Blessings on your harvests

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. Coming to the end of fire season we notice the deep tiredness of being up and out and on and in our Solar ‘I am’. Soon we will shift again but for now make the most of these dog days of summer
