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?
Expansion & Contraction
Not separate but one and the same
How are you meeting this shifting time within yourself presently?
The moon is now in her last quarter lunar water phase in Gemini before she turns dark and rebirths in the sign of Virgo
What do you notice? What do you feel into needing to prepare? How are you being propelled to support yourself within this shift? In the season of the Healer, how is the healer within becoming apparent for you? What is being asked of you to get clear?
Do you need to create space for a new version of yourself to form in the fertile darkness or arise from the ashes
These lunar, feminine archetypes speak from our womb spaces ~ they are not linear and they can not be commanded upon. They are deep truth that goes beyond conditioning and sometimes their medicine calls us so deeply to their truth that we can feel a sense of shame or sadness when we drop in. Our job is to witness that energy and to change the story. Instead giving thanks for the lessons and blessings
Plant Allies
As we move towards the fruits of Mabon in the Northern Hemisphere, notice what is no longer flowering. Imagine if we were only able to actually get hold of it to be in relationship with at that time. Take a pause to consider how precious the cycles of life are. It is a deep blessing that we have so much ability to get things out of season but it comes at a price. How can you create a deeper relationship with the seasons and the gratitude for the harvest to support you and sustain you through the following months. How can you harvest deep gratitude for what is in your life?
In the Northern Hemisphere be so grateful for the relationships you have cultivated in this plant cycle and savour the fleeting time with what is left. In the Southern Hemisphere prepare to connect deeply with the plant kin that abounds
Autumn (or Spring) Equinox will set us once more into a sense of balance in a couple of weeks
Expansion
You cannot expand if you are not first willing to contract ~ to notice all the ways that you are resisting coming into truth with what is present
Gratitude
Pour nectar on your own path and on your own journey, lace the path with gold. The perspective is your own. Identify the ways in which you are conditioned to receive.
How do you receive everything and everyone that comes. Can you see each and every interaction in the field of your perception as being a mirror for your highest good?
Can you find deep gratitude in moments of sweetness and breathe deeper with an acknowledgment of expansion or safety in that awareness
Soften your heart and receive all that you are
