Temples Of The Moon

With Venus and the Sun now in the sweet and wondrous energies of Pisces, a whole other realm of infinite potential has opened to us! Here we can soften a bit and surrender.  We can have faith that we will be held by seen or perhaps unseen forces.    

Pisces represents the womb space where dark and light are one. This is a solar month focused on releasing, letting go, and SURRENDERING into the Mystery. We are supported to soften the EGO and allow INNOCENSE and childlike wonder and inspiration to take the stage.

In Pisces, you are guided to cultivate Compassion, Acceptance, and Unconditional Love ~ for self & others.  Soon the Equinox will raise us into a fresh new beginning.  For now, we are in the closing cycle of the Zodiac and therefore releasing in our own lives as well.

The Virgo Full Moon (the sign opposite Pisces) is all about grounding, stabilizing, and materializing the spirit into form.  Virgo helps us to make real our intentions and dreams and realize the infinite potentials and the divinity that lives and breathes within each one of us.  Through our bodies and our ability to think and take action, we can manage and make something of all these possibilities. 

The Virgo Full Moon comes in with strong guidance around taking action to clear space, tidy up, and discriminate when necessary around what’s influencing your personal environment and what it may need to function at its most optimal for the best and healthiest outcome.  Self-care is a must for not only survival but success. 

Virgo and Pisces also very much represent the Victim archetype and the pain and suffering of the human experience.  Try as you might to find your own center of peace as we are each in the eye of the storm in our own lives as we work to confront and resolve where we are in the epic chaos of this life experience.

The weekend of February 27^th and the 28^th, 2021 ~ Full Moon in Virgo

With the Virgo Full Moon opposite Venus on Saturday and then Neptune on Sunday, we have the opportunity to tap into some very delicious expansive deep and sensual energies within our relationships (either to self-and/or other).  Full Moon’s always represent a peak energy and potential experience so this weekend could go big in some way!

Be careful not to indulge to the point of no return in the pain body as our sensitivities will certainly be heightened under the rays of the Full Moon.  Rather seek to see the love beyond the pain and the light eager to shine through the cracks into the dark. 

Virgo and Pisces remind us that there is strength in vulnerability and the humility.  It takes courage to allow ourselves to be held in a compassionate embrace of innocence and childlike wonder as we try to make sense of so much that is just simply confusing and out of our control in many ways these days.

Virgo wants results and learns in the process that sometimes the best way to get there is to let down one’s guard and step out of the way so that the miracles awaiting to be witnessed can have the space to show up.   It’s about that fine balance of knowing when to do and when to stop and rest in the stillness (or chaos) and wait as life continues to happen and perhaps someone else does something in return.  

This past two weeks New Moon cycle moved us through an incredible pile-up of Aquarian energy – the archetype of the Gamechanger, the Truth Sayer, the bold cold mic-drop.  Aquarius initiates the impulse to break free from the past at all cost and with five planets there, including the Mercury Retrograde cycle (now direct,) moving forward, beyond, and even up up and away has been the momentum.   

Essentially this time is all about enhancing the quality of our lives, by clearing away all the things possible that may be in the way of that bigger and better life experience. 

Mercury retrograde is infamous for throwing a monkey wrench into our plans and this time around joining forces with Venus in her own tension (square) with Mars, it’s been accentuating (or over exaggerating) the need for all kinds of confrontational conversations within our relationships to self and the other.

The need to separate from or the need to commit to… which one is it?  This is a cycle of life-changing decisions with so much potential to open up unknown possibilities for the future.

Mars and Venus represent our most personal instinctual desires and what we want and need to feel good and alive from day to day.  With Venus in a last quarter square closing in to culminate her cycle with Mars the potential for our wounds, pains, shadows and unmet desires and needs have been seeking a space to surface and to be seen and resolved.  Their complete cycle will come to a final conclusion this July so there is still plenty of time to realize and remedy what has been coming up these days to become aware of in regard to the deep song of your heart. 

As Mercury now edges within two degrees to join Jupiter by the end of this week, in the uber brainy sign of Aquarius, our neurons are being hyper-stimulated, and the synapses are firing! This is to say that there is a heavy influence on the mind right now.  It can manifest as clarity, insight, awakening, higher perspective or knowing, and for some also nervous breakdown, mental breakdown, overstimulation with symptoms like insomnia and anxiety. 

It’s a very electrical energy like a thunder and lightning storm and can be both unnerving and enthralling all at once.

With the power of the Saturn square Uranus transit that is defining the theme of the entire year of “2021”, in its first of three joining moments during this month and into next, it is like the two Generals are standing firmly in the background of each of our lives overlooking every move and decision we make.  Yikes!  Not so fun, however necessary in the seeming impasse we have arrived to.  But it is more of a standoff than a dead-end.  We have options and possibilities and that is what the Generals are there to remind us.  We must each choose and take action in some way to forward our lives to create the changes we are all dreaming of for this world.

They are like guides holding us accountable in this moment because it’s time and they are asking simply “What’s going to stay and what’s going to go? Choose wisely.”

What will we leave behind?  What will remain as a foundation of support?  What will we take a chance to let go of in hopes of a brighter future to come?  What will we risk to step into the unknown and embrace a new life and new self yet unrealized?   

No one says it louder than Aquarius ~ “Be the Change.”

Full Moon at 08º 20” Cancer | Dec 29, 2020

As it is now in the Cosmic Sky, la Luna (in Cancer) stands opposite the Sun (in Capricorn). It could be imagined as a dance between the Masculine and Feminine seen in the highest expression. The Divine Father (Capricorn) and the Sacred Mother (Cancer) are held in space and supported by the gravitational pull of balance between the opposites. Here it is all about the archetypes of the Provider, the Nurturer, the Leader, the Wise Guide – Crone or Wizard Sage, the Divine Parent.

Cancer and Capricorn’s axis teaches us that matters of the Heart are hard work and can be incredibly rewarding and/or devastating to our sensitivities! It takes strength, devotion, loyalty, commitment, and an immense amount of courage to love and be loved, live with an open heart, and allow oneself to be seen and touched by love, by another, and essentially by oneself. Here it is all about the depths of feeling and letting the waves of vulnerability carry you home into the heart.

To be a Leader in life by being led by the Heart ~ this is the balance of Cancer and Capricorn. And to be bonded and committed (to whatever it is that you choose) is the lifeblood that gives us meaning throughout our lives.

We all come from out of a Spiritual Family Tree – of one kind or another. Whether it be bloodlines or Soul Family, we are joined together by karmic ties and heartstrings. We are reflecting, mirroring, guiding, creating obstacles and challenges for one another as we each traverse the territories of ourselves in the maze of each other.

The past, the present, the future ~ a beautiful marriage of Unity forever linked in Harmony.

Cancer say’s “This is what I need to feel secure, safe, comfortable. “This is what makes me vulnerable.” “These are my needs.” “These are my fears.”Cancer say’s “I feel your pain. Come, let me embrace it. Let me hold you in the warm hearth of my nurturing presence, and we can feel the love that is near.”We are bonded and bound to our pain, to each other, to our patterns, to our hopes and dreams. Strands as powerful as the umbilical cord feeding us with life, and as determined as friendship knots binding us to vows we’ve said in gest or perhaps in desperation or even in pure love.

Our foundations vary, our shoulders to lean on come and go, and we learn to adjust to the winds of change and make way for the promise given each new day of hope, and more time to live it all out, to right our wrongs, and to leave something of value behind.

We plant seeds and grow into ourselves by and through each other. Strengthened by the nurturing or weakened by neglect or lack of light, we become who we are. Struggles and birth pains worn like a wound on our Nature and, if we are lucky, like a source of strength in our Spirit. Being Alive is Warriors Work.

We are all here fighting the good fight. In faith that we shall be redeemed for our efforts and forgiven for our faults as we stay steadfast on the path. Hopeful to be blessed with an opportunity to be witnessed, appreciated, held, and shared in the experience of who we are and all that we have to give. How beautiful it is to lay down our swords for a moment and stake a peace flag in the internal battles and rest in the reprieve of being loved.

Life gets lonely. One thing for sure that we can count on is the light of love, that no matter what, no matter where, eternally shines like a beacon in each of our hearts, like an old friend always there to connect with us.

No man is an island, and I am nothing without you.

Scorpio offers us a chance at self-mastery by stepping in with courageous willingness to do what it takes to confront and stand in the face of radical uncompromising truth.
For Scorpio, Truth is the Path and the Lifeblood to God. There is no map for the realms of the Underworld. We can only hope for at least a guide to accompany us.

It’s Scorpio Season! I’ll tell you my vice if you tell me yours!

 Scorpio pushes into our boundaries enticing us to open and enter into the darker (hidden) side of life. The more intimate, more personal, more private realms that we would ordinarily rather keep close to the heart or even sequestered away. The spaces where the light of TRUTH shines so bright it can be blinding leaving us with no other choice but to SEE lest we remain in the dark.

Scorpio energy often makes us uncomfortable with the nudges and the prodding into our secrets and hidden valleys of our past experiences and our desires unmanifested. The Scorpio realms are said to be not for the “faint of heart”. For it takes courage and often “grit” to go below the surface of the superficialities of our personalities and to embrace and be embraced by another.

Scorpio follows Libra in the evolutionary journey of the zodiac. In Libra, we learn to listen to others and to speak our minds, to toss around perspective, opinion, ideas, and concepts, to pay attention to thought. In Libra, we cross the bridge from Self to the Other and gain the experience of Relationship.

It is largely motivated by the desire to know the mind of the other, to understand the dualities, polarities, and the diversity of perspectives – to compare and contrast for the sake of the knowledge of oneself. Libra likes to “keep it light”, harmonious, predictable, non-confrontational (unless they know they can win the argument!)

Scorpio then, takes RELATIONSHIP to the next level into the depths of emotion. It’s about the UNION of the Souls and the mysteries found therein. It’s about the alchemical process that is unique always to the ones involved and can never be predicted beforehand. It’s about the merging of the Two that creates the Third and the perception, devotion, commitment, and honesty needed to realize what that creation has to offer.

From one moment to the next it is raw and ripe with an honesty that pierces into our vulnerabilities. And threatens our fragility. Libra says “I want to please you. Tell me something pleasing.” Scorpio says, “I don’t care if I like it or not, just tell me the truth.”

Scorpio offers us a chance at self-mastery by stepping in with courageous willingness to do what it takes to confront and stand in the face of radical uncompromising truth.

For Scorpio, Truth is the Path and the Lifeblood to God. There is no map for the realms of the Underworld. We can only hope for at least a guide to accompany us.

LIBRA ~ beckons us to find the Grace, Balance, and Serenity in the Giving AND the Receiving within our relationships. We are called to make peace with the extremes we find in our own nature and the ways in which those extremes are expressed, and to have understanding and compassion for that in others as we move towards the awareness needed to create balance within and out in our lives. Libra teaches us of the Art of Listening and Giving – as an Act of Love. Here we learn about the Relativity of Truth. Through the exposure to other’s opinions, thoughts, desires, and needs we come to understand that there is no one way – various lifestyles equal various truths. Libra is the Mirror. In reflection with others, we come to know ourselves. By embracing the reflection of self that we receive from another we can come to understand our own value as it is experienced out in the world. Not everyone will see you as you are. Some will see you as more, some will see you as less. How do you see yourself? 

Libra’s shadow is wanting to become something for someone else; to fulfill someone else’s desire at the expense of their own, simply for the sake of pleasing the other. To lose oneself in another for the other. And there are people who want another to become what they want them to be without regard for that person’s own truth. Projection onto another creates an imbalance in the equality between the two.

Libra’s polarity is Aries. Aries informs Libra of the importance of learning to speak one’s own needs, desires, and truth. And to take Initiative for what YOU want in YOUR life. To learn how to listen to your own self and inner knowing and be guided by not only your powerful intellect but by your own instinctual nature guiding you towards your own truth.

April 20th ~ May 20th 

Taurus calls us to Stillness.  It is Fixed Earth.  Solid, consistent, grounded, stability.  

Where Aries is about finding one’s Identity through experience, Taurus is about finding one’s Self through withdrawing and going within.  

Taurus teaches us about being deeply rooted in oneself.  Coming in from the storm and being the calm after the storm.  

It is the Inner Sanctuary and the Bear Cave, representing comfort, safety, security, and pleasure.  

Taurus is a Venus-ruled sign and here we come very in touch with the senses, the physical, the body, the material. 

New Moon in Taurus awakens us to the beauty, peace, and harmony that can be found in the space of sacred solitude.  To the value in tapping into your own resources held deep within as a source to your own happiness, joy, and pleasure.  Taurus knows the power harnessed in Self-reliance and Self-sufficiency, in Sovereignty.

We have enjoyed learning about astrology (and each other!) together and are thankful to have Temples of the Moon as a resource.”

Aquarius is a revolutionary energy that ushers in radical change and asks us to be TRUE TO OURSELVES and teaches that when we are centered in the heart it will always be for the good of all. 
We need to lead by example that it is our right to be self-expressed as we choose to show up in our own divine individuality.

As we say Yes to ourselves and make choices in support of our own greatest vision and dream, as we go forward, we’re cultivating more love within and experiencing the impact of what more love in this world can create.

This is the mission of Aquarius – through each of us honoring and harnessing the inspiration of our own unique spark of light within, we become a healed, divinely expressed humanity as a whole.

Don’t underestimate the power of a loving heart! We know that the heart field radiates several feet beyond our body and has the potential to go even miles (through distance healing work and prayer.) 
We have the power to create the change we want in our world/s but it must first begin with a vision. We must see it and feel it into reality.

This is a month to envision and dream big! Go beyond everyone’s (and even your own) judgment, expectation, conditioning, disbelief, and critisism because Aquarius doesn’t give a fu**!! It has a revolution to lead!

*What in you is ready for a change? Asking to be released? 
*What new seed ideas or opportunities are birthing you into your future?
*Where are you being asked to take a stand and lead the revolution within your own life? To be brave, and bold, committed and focused on the vision so that you can see it through into manifestation?

“I Believe In the Good Things Coming”

We’re in the Mid-point of the Two Eclipses! On this coming Monday is the First Quarter Moon.

✨We are in such a very important and potent time of taking a good look at our “Truths” and what it is that has given meaning to our lives – and how and what we need to shift and change as we move forward. Jupiter and Neptune are Squaring off at this time (one of three times this year so this will be a running theme) to bring in the expansiveness around attaining our Dreams by looking at what we believe. Are WE holding our selves back?

✨The Quarter Moon times – or the “Midpoint” are always a time of adjustment. It’s a “crossroads” where crucial decisions need to be addressed about what you need to do to continue to nurture and support the “seeds” planted on the New Moon a week ago.

What has come in for you over this past week? What new beginnings? What endings?

The New Moon Eclipse of January 5th was an “Eclipse of the Past.” Meaning – A time of recognizing and releasing what was. In combination with powerful energies focused on our “Truth & Beliefs” – many of us are coming clear with revelations around long time patterns that we are now ready to let go of. 
It’s time to move more freely into our future with this upcoming Full Moon Eclipse! 🦅🌕✨🌬

The Full Moon will bring us to a pinnacle point of growth and expansion ~ A moment of Celebration of all that we have accomplished in the prior two weeks.

Now is the time to weed the garden and tend to the new life that has sprouted up in your life.

A dear friend of mine, Abi Levine, gifted me in the mail a book this week! “Home Coming” by John Bradshaw. It is such a powerful book that feels so perfect for these immense times of shifting and healing the foundations and family/relationship structures of our lives. So many adults are walking around with the “wounded child” acting itself out… Part of my work this week has been around recognizing this in myself and taking another step towards embracing and supporting the inner child within me. 💗

It is all very much in alignment with this past CANCER New Moon Eclipse and the upcoming LEO Full Moon Eclipse. 🙏💗

I’ve only been reading it for a day and it is completely rocking my world and is exactly the medicine I’ve needed to help release and move more freely forward.

Love & Blessings, 🤩
