Holy cow, this full moon lunar eclipse we had on the 4th was an emotional one! I feel completely drained of all energy today, and if you’re feeling the same way, please make sure you take care of your health. This full moon brought up some important issues regarding patterns of relating and relationships, as well as the tug of war you might be having internally about whether or not to move forward with a project/relationship/business/object/person. I feel like all our major relationships and the way we may even relate to others is changing drastically. There’s a reinvention going on in this area, so make sure to distance yourself from any power struggles that might occur. It may be that someone or something just wants it to be the way it always has, or maybe they always got you to do their bidding. Well, not any more! You see an issue or a better way to do things and it’s time to change. This may mean the ending of some very important relationships, or the beginning of you setting boundaries with regards to your own well being, and the examples don’t end there. You can only do and give so much. At the end of the day, if you have no energy left for yourself, who are you really helping? Please know that any changes you feel need to be in place, are ones you should most definitely set in motion. In regards to moving forward with project/relationship/business/object/person important to you? Well, you’re being asked to have more patience. This would be something that you want to go forward with, but have no idea or a way how to. My advice? Be quiet, be flexible, be patient, and just listen. Get to a space (any way you like: meditation, outdoor walking or hiking, dancing to your favorite music, taking a car ride, etc…) where you can clear the day away. Ask yourself in this sacred space where your path lies. Then wait for your signs. You’ll know. You’ll recognize the call. If you can hang in a bit longer, you’ll be very happy with the results and glad that you took the time to get everything together as you see it in your head. I know that change can be painful, but if you decide now that you love yourself more than you need approval or instant gratification, everything will fall into place. Trust in the process.

Go ahead and pick a card(s) from above. The stone you see in the picture is kambaba jasper. Kambaba Jasper is a stone of Peace and Tranquility, imbued with the nourishing green energy of Nature. Its dark mystic circles and deep green swirls comforts and protects, calms and relaxes, soothing troubled minds and restoring balance to the body and spirit. Its slow steady frequency expands one’s ability to focus and is a remarkable aid in meditation, granting the release of negative thoughts and feelings, especially those that plague one’s consciousness on a continual basis. Stimulating the Heart Chakra, Kambaba Jasper draws wisdom from its ancient life energies and encourages one to open the heart to loving the self and others more fully, and increases the ability to receive love in return.

If you chose card #1: Your message this week is to be still. Your card goes on to say that the tempo of life these days has sped up considerably, and there seems to be no end to the quickening pace. Immersed as we are in the technological whirlpool, there seems no escape. However, there is no need to be a prisoner to the “hurry up” syndrome, nor is there a need to feel trapped by the awareness of the collective intensities that massive numbers of humans are experiencing these days. No matter if the noise is from your environment or your seemingly nonstop thinking, it is critical for you to seek stillness. Find it in your world, whether it is a special place in your home or place in Nature that is far from human made noise. Of particular importance is finding it inside yourself, which can be made easier by being in a quiet place in a natural setting. Doing so not only relaxes your mind, but also heightens your awareness and senses.

If you chose card #2: Your message this week is about creation. Your card goes on to say that  you should close your eyes, tune into your breathing, and allow yourself to think deeply into the heart of the living creation that you are. As you notice your breath becoming steady and slightly deeper than usual, observe the urge within you that is begging to come forth in some creative action. Pay attention to any images, sounds, or feelings that beckon your awareness; and there you will find the key as to the manner in which to express this magnificent pulse. Your breath is the crossover between Spirit and physical reality. Breathing comfortably and steadily helps you align yourself with Spirit, which then brings a clearer focus on what creative expression is preparing to be birthed through and from you. Discard any habitual thought patterns that would prevent the manifestation of what you are being prompted to bring forth. Allow yourself to take risks with this self-expression, and all of Creation will smile upon you.

If you chose card #3: Your message this week is about nurturing. Your card goes on to say that receiving can be a sacred act if your intention is to honor Spirit. It is as holy as giving when performed with a humble and open heart. This is even truer when receiving much needed nurturing, so let others give to you. It may be a stretch to do so at times because of childhood conditioning, but that habit can be overcome. Your wounds can be healed. One way to achieve this is to nurture yourself, and allow others to nurture you. Consider the actions you take that are self nurturing. What comes to your mind when you really think about doing beneficial things for yourself? Set aside your ritualized habits and believes that restrict the pure act of allowing your body, heart, and soul to be nurtured. Lie on the Earth and ask Gaia to rock you in her bosom as you breathe with her and relax into her loving care.

This is the 3rd in 4 total lunar eclipses this year, and what’s happening (seen and unseen) now will be in effect for the next 5 months. Change is a powerful process and not to be taken with a grain of salt. My wish for you this week is that you listen to the better half of you and take your time. You may be beckoned to act the old way with outworn ideas of how things should/should not be when frustration sets in. Don’t play that game. Today is the day you do things differently. You made a promise to yourself. Stay true <3

This is your week! Make it an amazing one 🙂
