Leo New Moon: Fearlessness

July 23, 2017 By Jacqueline

Real fearlessness is the product of our tenderness.
It comes from letting the world tickle your raw and beautiful heart.”
Chogyam Trungpa

Solar heartbeat,
great ball of fire.
Proclaim a renewal
of passion, strength & vitality.

Leo New Moon is an affirmation of life;
allow confidence and courage,
playfulness and spontaneity to lead the way.

Leo fire seeds and feeds self-esteem,
timidity steps out, arrogance thrives,
we all shine under the sun.

Initiative is empowered,
creativity enlivened.
Fire purifies, transforms
and ignites the courage to change.

Your beautiful heart
pumps lifeblood through your center
to all parts of your precious body.

You are the fire; you are the sun,
the center of your universe.
Bright light, big shadow
portends the eclipse month ahead.

Leo New Moon July 23, 2017 2:45 am PDT

This is the first of two New Moons in Leo, next month the Leo New Moon is a powerful solar eclipse. In between, the upcoming Full Moon will be a lunar eclipse. What of it?

This New Moon is strongly placed for acting on impulse and forging a new path. Five planets: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Uranus and Saturn are all in fire signs. Self-expression, creativity, vision and intuition spark and blaze.

Fire is dramatic, bold and visible.
Those dazzled by their own brilliance may act with insensitivity to others. If you are uncomfortable with being seen, you may feel agitated. If you believe that you deserve to be recognized and yet perceive yourself as invisible, you may be angry or motivated to rise up.

Be aware of what is showing up in your consciousness during these days surrounding this New Moon.
The themes intensify as we travel through the eclipse passages. Light and shadow. Eclipses are powerful windows that open to what has been previously hidden or unknown. What is familiar in our lives is seen in a new shape, revealing insights that may change our perceptions or precipitate crisis. Look in your astrological chart as to what houses hold the signs of Leo and Aquarius.

☽ Leo New Moon Contemplations ☼

What action(s) are needed at this time and what can I do right now?!

Capricorn Full Moon: Gravity and the Wild Ride

July 8, 2017 By Jacqueline

Capricorn is the guardian of tradition,
the keeper of rules,
the conservator, the trustee for the tribe.

Capricorn Full Moon illuminates
devotion to achievement,
reverence for reputation,
the cracks in the edifice,
and one’s emotional foundation
with a hard-edged light.

Unspoken rules are rooted in the past.
Assumptions are exposed,
instincts are challenged
and letting go is essential on the path.

Release the outmoded habits and
shed the tight suit of armor
that keep you from drinking deep from your wellspring,
nourishing your roots,
and being present in the here and now.

Our task is facing reality
and that includes our feelings and needs
and the feelings and needs
of those around us.
Life is not all about getting ahead.

There is no need to use force. Instead, create a path of least resistance, and gravity will do the rest.” Michael Dunlap

The Wild Ride
Upheaval and tumult rumble around what is dependable, solid and true.
How balanced and steady is the ground upon which we build the future?
What if gravity was debatable and our roots became less rooted?
Where would we land if the world turned upside down?

This is not about inciting fear.
It is about investing attention towards your loyalties and your values
and what is held as dependable and true.

Capricorn Full Moon
July 8, 2017 9:06 pm PDT

Invocation

Call to the life force that is yours.
Call to the wisdom of your experience.
Call to the strength and wisdom of your ancestors.
Name the fears that block your way and
surrender to your healing and regeneration.

Stand strong,
with resilience
rather than resistance to change.
Honor your life experience,
create and hold safe space within.
Shed the layers of habits and memories that not longer serve you.
Be empowered to live life fully.
Reach your roots deep into the earth.
Stand strong.
Be Here Now.

Cancer New Moon: Nectar of Intuition

June 21, 2017 By Jacqueline

Intuition is the compass
that navigates uncertainty
and hones in on the sweetness of life.

Be drawn into the realm of the unseen
and be guided by your inner senses.

Is there a rumbling in your belly?
Lunar time sharpens the senses.
What are you really hungry for?

Create safe space within to allow
emotion and imagination to be held.
It’s time to reflect and attune to your deep instincts.

The need to nourish and strengthen emotional roots is strong
to carry through and sustain the summer season of growth ahead.

It is natural to feel more sensitive than usual. A heightened awareness of whether or not we feel “at home” within ourselves, or in relationship to “the hive”: our families, our relationships, our tribe. Imagination may be helpful or a hindrance.

in the Solstice window
of fertile time.

Use your senses to feel and imagine:
You are the flower. You are the seed.
You are the nectar. You are the bee.

Allow your sensitivity and visualization
to pollinate your spiritual consciousness
and unite all parts of you.

May you be whole
May you never hunger.
May you never thirst.
May you be nourished – body and soul.

☽ Cancer New Moon Contemplations ☼
What nourishes me deeply?
Am I avoiding taking responsibility for my needs? If so, how?
How may I awaken to the clarity and wisdom of my intuition?

The New Moon is the time to make your intentional choices.

What is needed now? Listen to your body. Notice what foods are fresh. Adapt your diet to seasonal change. Consult your celestial compass: What are the conditions and optimal ways to navigate? What are your possibilities and options?

Cancer Solstice Gateway

June 20, 2017 By Jacqueline

Life on Earth,
fueled by the Sun,
the wheel is turning
and a new season is born.

Take pause
as the Sun stands still.

How can the magnificent Sun,
in its powerful, perpetual burning,
actually stand still?

It is our perception
as the Sun reaches its northernmost declination
at the Tropic of Cancer.
This re-turning appears as a standstill.

Summer Solstice June 20, 2017 9:24 pm PDT

☽ As Above So Below ☼

Where is the stillness in your life at this moment?
Maybe you’re saying that there is none;
the long days of constant busyness have captured your evenings
and early dawn arouses with get-going, anxiety or excitement.

Create pause and invite stillness.
You may find it, try it and see or feel or notice
as spaciousness unfolds in stillness.

Take a hold and turn the golden key,
unlock the gateway of Solstice Light.
Open the sacred portal of your Life Fire.
Feel your heart beating as one
with the glowing heart of summer.
You are alive.

The Sun stands still for several days,
You haven’t missed it,
don’t hurry up or stress about it.
Create pause and invite stillness.
You are alive!

Affirmation:
I celebrate my strength and welcome Summer’s abundance!

Looking ahead? Step back and look at your life from a fresh perspective: Contact me for an Astrology or Tarot Reading.
I am here for you.

Sagittarius Full Moon : Spaciousness

June 9, 2017 By Jacqueline

Seek the wide open spaces
with your moral compass at your side,
ride your horse to a higher ground.
Step up, look around,
look ahead beyond fear,
judgement and expectations
to gain an expansive vision.

Consider all the data, the news,
the swirl of communications
and find the constellations
of patterns and connections
that sing and ring of Truth,
and that bring cohesion to the chaos.

Mystery is always a part of the equation
no matter how you add it up.
It’s all about perspective.

“Presence is a state of inner spaciousness.” Eckhart Tolle

Seek the wide open spaces
around you and within you.
Breathe into and expand your awareness within;
experience spaciousness
in the tangled knots
of all of life’s complexity.

“It’s a transformative experience to simply pause instead of immediately fill up the space. By waiting, we begin to connect with fundamental restlessness as well as fundamental spaciousness.” Pema Chodron

In the spaciousness of now is
your jewel,
your star,
your song
that sparkles and rings your Truth.

The full moon amplifies the tension
between instinctual wisdom
and rational reasoning.
Your yearning for answers,
for direction,
for clarity and truth
is the tension of Sagittarius’ taut bow.

Allow the tension to empower your intentions.

You are the arrow and you are the bow.
Full Moon flame. Full Moon fire.
Allow the tension to empower your meaningful intentions
and release your flaming arrow of truth.

Sagittarius Full Moon June 9, 2017 6:09 am PDT

“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.” Johann Von Goethe

Jupiter in Libra goes Direct

Jupiter is at a standstill (very powerful placement coinciding with this full moon!) as it goes direct on June 9 (retrograde since February 5, 2017).

Relationships are the Lens through which the Lunar Wisdom is Reflected.
(Why? Because Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius and Jupiter is in Libra).

Talk about it.

Maybe you’ve been holding back or you’ve already blurted it out. You want to keep the peace, but there are things you need to express. Or you’re dealing with someone who has no sense of boundaries, with excessive, over-the-top behavior.

It’s a good time to find common ground. Repair the cracks, if you can. If you or someone else has been living in a relationship of inflexible ideals, it may be time to to move on.

We run the risk of tactless speech. How can we contact our truth and express ourselves diplomatically? There is an emphasis here on freedom and cooperation. There is great potential for growth in consciousness. A new perspective emerges and there is an optimism in moving forward with greater clarity and confidence.

☽ Sagittarius Full Moon Contemplations ☼
What are the distractions that keep me from being present in the now?
How may I embody my beliefs?
How may I apply what I’m learning to my relationships?
What is the truth that I choose to empower for this full moon?

Be seen and understood. My clients consult me for helpful perspective and compassionate insight. As a result, their self-understanding and intuitive capacities are honed and strengthened. Astrology and Tarot are mediums through which my gifts as a life-long intuitive are revealed. I am here for you.
