Full Moon, Wolf Moon

January 29th, 2010

Tonight, January 29, 2010 is a full moon…a wolf moon according to the Native American tradition, because tonight’s moon will be closest to the Earth and will appear brighter and larger than other full moons.

The energy too will be powerful.

Look to what needs to be illuminated  in your life and draw on the gentle power of the moon to assist you in defining and clarifying what you are creating in your life.

We are at a ripe time, energetically, where what we choose to hold as our truth will become the foundation of our lives as we move forward.

Let go of of the old beliefs and ways of operating that no longer fully ring true for you and let tonight’s full moon energy propel you into what is next.

So look up, give a little howl and state with absolute trust and conviction what you want to be so in your life – as it is already here. Let tonight’s moon illuminate this in all its brilliance.

Did the Universe hit the pause button?

January 21st, 2010

Life on planet Earth is rocky right now.

We are collectively grieving what is happening around us — with so many feeling the pain of the earthquake in Haiti and the suffering there.

There is such rapid change happening on so many levels that it has been hard to not feel out of control.

We feel this evolutionary change as our consciousness shifts, but so too does the planet. And when the Earth ripped apart, I think we hit a point where we needed a time out to manage the magnitude of that event, as well as all the other change that we are experiencing, both in and out of our conscious awareness.

The feeling I have, on an energetic level, is that a big giant pause button has been pushed, and we are being asked to stop and sit with what is right now. I’ve been describing it as a big pregnant pause, I guess in the hopes that when the pause button is released, we will all be birthed into something new.

Wanting to skip this and get beyond the suffering is a natural response. After all, this hurts. But keeping our hearts open now, when we are faced with such pain and stillness, is the way out.

So if you are feeling this slow down right now, this pause, you are not alone. I think the Universe hit the pause button to protect us — a mandatory slow down of sorts.

We have all been shaken up on some level.

With crisis comes a wake up call. And in this moment, I believe we are being asked to go within and find those places which hold us back from being fully present and fully able to step into a more expanded place with more light. It is time to let go of those things we know we can’t take with us as we embrace higher states of being and create a world full of compassion and support for all who need it.

So feel the pause.

Stop and let go of what you can, in order to get down to what is real. And then send that love and light to those in need.

Mercury, eclipse, new moon: January 15 is a banner day!

January 13th, 2010

I admit it, I usually only follow astrology when things feel hard or I get stuck. And since the beginning of 2010, things have been, well, at a bit of a standstill!

And then I learned that Mercury went retrograde around the end of 2009. We all hear about this mysterious Mercury retrograde event. It happens 3 times a year, and at times, is more of a bother than others.

Whenever Mercury is in retrograde we get to do a little life review. It can be like hitting the re-set button. The weeks that Mercury seemingly goes backwards, we have the chance to re-think and re-evaluate some aspect of our lives.

Astrology writings can often have a negative take on Mercury retrograde, but truthfully, we need them. We need the time to slow down or even stop, catch our breath and take a second look. We need to do a little house cleaning before moving on.

Maybe that’s why this Mercury retrograde felt so intense to me. We are getting ready to move forward in a big way, so anything that needed a bit of house cleaning got it!

Or, maybe it was because Mars was also in retrograde. Again, I am no astrology expert, but I’m no dummy. When 2 planets are taking us back through old stuff you gotta know there’s going to be trouble!

It does get better soon…. Yes, Mercury will go direct on January 15th, so hopefully this pause and process work will lighten up. With it, however, are a few other astrological events that will affect us.

With Mercury going direct, is an eclipse. Eclipses have a way of unmasking things and getting things moving. Hooray for eclipses!

And, there is a New Moon which is also about new beginnings. The New Moon is a great time to focus on rejuvenation and growing one’s energy.

The full combination of all these events?

I’m guessing that January 15th will be a banner day!

Mercury turning direct on the day of the eclipse and new moon signals a time where we can give birth to ideas that have been circulating about, as we have been in pause the last few weeks.

And if you don’t know exactly what that is, well just stay open to what is emerging. Things are unfolding all around us. Be patient as things move back into the flow, but be ready…the Universe loves action.

If you’ve been cleaning house and are itching to get moving, your time is near!
