The energetic twist and turns of the Equinox and full moon

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

We’ve just celebrated the Equinox. Here in the northern hemisphere we’ve moved into the Fall; and in the south, spring has sprung! And today, a powerful full moon moves in center stage, drawing out within us what is ready to manifest for our deepest growth.

Over the last few days, as the Equinox and moon energy has been building, I’ve been feeling this simultaneous letting go and taking in. It’s caught my attention because usually there is a bit more of a differentiating  of my energy when I am releasing something and when I am integrating new ways of Being. But this past week it’s been one big shebang!

To be honest I feel a bit this the towel in this picture! It’s like I have my own personal energy vortex and the energy leaving twists one way, and energy coming in twists another.

Any minute now I will shake myself out and be good to go! But at the moment I am truly feeling the energy!

All this got me thinking about the energy on the planet. As one part of the world moves into an energy of Spring, where seeds get sown and ideas move into blossom, the other part of the world moves into the Fall, where we harvest that which was planted a few months back.

The wheel keeps turning!

I realize in the midst of this twist with my own energy, it is this motion that creates the momentum right now to keep my energy shedding and calling in what needs to come in. And this experience of my energy in such an intense way has brought me to an even deeper respect for what my energetic intelligence can do!

I feel the twisting energy on a much bigger scale. And I realize that the twist  is the energy that propels all of us forward in the ways that are needed. It is the cycle of change that is turning the wheel.

So as you sit with the energy of the Equinox (wherever you may be) as well as the full moon’s pull, be reminded of the true intelligence of Nature.

And if you too feel a bit like this wrung-out towel, like me, have no fear.

The energy of the Equinox and the  moon is strong. But it’s time for this intensity. It’s drawing out all that is ready to manifest, and all that is lying dormant within that will move you into truly living your Truth.

Let your inner towel drip out all that is no longer needed!  And when ready, shake yourself out, smooth out the wrinkles and know that you are exactly where you need to be.

New Moon. New Beginnings

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

There is a new moon today, and with that there are always new beginnings.

I’m no astrologer, but I sure do feel energy! And the energy right now feels like our new beginnings are being squeezed out from pure pressure or tension.

I started to notice this tension around the time that Mercury went retrograde (Aug 20).

My inner tension has had its peaks and valleys, but it’s been there all the same. And it’s mission, it seems, has been to help me get my priorities straight.

I’ve been hearing this same thing from many of my clients as well. What no longer works has really been bringing up a level of frustration that can not be ignored.

The good news is, that with the new moon the energy is beginning to shift. The energy is beginning to “bubble up” or “bubble over.”

The trick I think is to keep looking at where the pressure is. Where is your frustration right now in your life? That is where something new wants to emerge.

Throughout most of August and early September, the energy has been full of this tension which has been acting as a way to get our attention. Give your inner squeaky wheel some oil!

Use the new moon, the darkness, to go within and explore your inner process.

Look first to where you are holding your inner tension. And if you haven’t yet been doing so, re-establish some of your priorities in life. Look to where you are committed. What is pulling you forward?  And don’t be afraid to let go of the things that are holding you back — and may be creating that inner tension.

Go within. This is the time to do so. Let the bubbly energy create movement within you. Let it help you determine what wants to rise up and move into action.

It’s time for a new beginning. And between the energy of the new moon and Mercury going direct on Sept. 12 we get to shift gears.
