New Moon Confluence: Begin Again

January 31, 2022 By Jacqueline

Any little thing that brings us back into communion with the natural world and the spiritual power that permeates all life will help us to move a little further along the path of human moral and spiritual evolution.” Jane Goodall

Sky above, earth below
the duality dance of incarnation.
Sky above, earth below
each one of us,
an intersection of the two.

Midpoint between Solstice and Equinox
the past lives within,
the future is a breath away.
Each one of us
an intersection of the two.

Now the wheel quickens,
we begin again.

new moon seeded by the sun
we begin again.

new moon empowered by the unknowing,
we begin again.

new moon infused by the secrets of the night
we begin again.

new moon schooled by the university of stars,
we begin again.

the collective of the cosmos sings to the moon,
begin again.

new moon whispers to you:
begin again.

Idealists foolish enough to throw caution to the winds have advanced mankind and have enriched the world.” Emma Goldman

Imbolc February 1-3, 2022

Chinese New Year of the Water Tiger
February 1, 2022

The great wheel turns. This lunar cycle converges with Chinese New Year of the Tiger, and Imbolc, the cross-quarter, the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. Let go of the old and make way for the new. Notice the signs of the promise of spring. Even if you are buried in snow (literally or metaphorically), the days are growing longer! Nature affirms new beginnings.

The signature of last year’s transit of Saturn and Uranus is waning. This new moon is a trigger. We’re still unraveling the outworn story and reweaving the new.

Old responsibilities continue to bear weight and there is a sense of slogging through the work to be done. Friction between caution and the urge to go. Be open to fresh clarity about future goals.

Being truthful about the state of our nation and world does not equal losing hope. Hope sees truth and still believes in better. That which dismisses or does not seek truth, but grins, saying “It will be okay,” is naivete, not hope.” Bernice King

Aquarius New Moon Seeds of Inquiry

Where in my psyche/in my life am I itching to break loose or chafing against the restraints of the past?

Identify the restraints, the judgements or blame surrounding them.

What new information and insights are emerging now?

How may I begin again?

Thank you so much for the reading. There were so many new insights you drew from my chart which will continue to inform me through the seasons and years, thank you. I appreciated how attuned you are to cycles and the earth, and your combination of empathy and focused intellect.” L.B.

The sun, the moon and the planets are your allies in seeking truth. They offer parameters, milestones and timing. They open doors – if you are willing to step through the threshold to deeper understanding and self-acceptance. I welcome your inquiry as we stand at the crossroads. I offer navigation in the mystery through astrology and tarot.
With Love,
Jacqueline

Tsunami Full Moon

January 16, 2022 By Jacqueline

“Everything changes, everything is connected, pay attention.“
Jane Hirshfield, Buddhism in Seven Words

Full moon rising,
high tide of emotion and imagination.
This lunation brings choppy waves,
no wonder there’s a tsunami.

Tension, irritability,
full moon pressure at
cathartic crossroads.

Neither
compulsive work
or emotional withdrawal
are solutions
to the pressures
of life’s demands.

Shifting ocean tides surge and swell.
Wave after wave
pulls back and reveals residue and debris.
Sift through your muck.
Feel into your bare bones.

Tuck into your shell, be tossed by the waves…
spiral inward, find your center,
strength and tenderness
deep within.

“Believe in yourself and what you feel. Your power will come from that.” Melissa Etheridge

Cancer Full Moon
January 17, 2022 3:48 pm PST

Every full moon emphasizes polarity and this one is no exception. Pluto is closely aligned this round (Opposite the Moon and conjunct the Sun), a planet of a catharsis, death and rebirth, regeneration and repair, power and fear.
There is a tendency to feel with great depth and intensity unless the focus is on avoidance and denial. Addictive behavior is compelling. There can be a sense of feeling at odds with self and/or with others. Some may feel attacked and focus on self-protection and security.
Take note of your own red flags, pay attention and dive deep into your emotional storm… in a non-destructive way!

It’s time to release the old, outworn habits and ambitions that are taking up valuable space in your psyche as well as in your outer life.
Tenacity and focus are enhanced – choose your intentions.

Venus has been retrograde since December 19 and will station direct on January 29. Mercury retro on January 14 until February 3.
Both of these cycles point to the unconscious rhythms of reflection within. Each individual has their own unique timing. Although society pushes us to focus on the outward, a large part of our lives is personal and inward. For most folks, it’s really not time to make a bold leap into the new year.

Cancer Full Moon Inquiries

How may be aware of and respond to my needs as I maintain my responsibilities?

What is crumbling that needs to be repaired or released?

How may I fuel the YES to releasing self-defeating habits that I’ve held on to for too long?

“What a treat for sharing with me in such a clear way, I’m able to hear you.
I identify so deeply with what you’re saying, deep, true and resonant. Thank you so much.” T.M.

Make Your Neighbors Jealous

November 16, 2021 By Jacqueline

I am delighted, absolutely tickled, that my article has been published
by the Center for Humans and Nature!

The article is a peek into my world with Monarch butterflies. I’ve been immersed in writing about my experiences and this article is my debut:

Make your Neighbors Jealous

May Nature Thrive!

heartfully,
Jacqueline

Scorpio New Moon, Dark Moon

“When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The veil is thin, now
New Moon Scorpio slips in.
Dark moon
the shadow side
the underbelly
the slippery slope.

Down in the labyrinth,
learn how to see in the dark. Subterranean passages
honeycomb the bedrock.
Water runs deep, bubbling up.
What’s rising to the surface?

Memories, secrets,
betrayal,
the gritty seams.

Naked metaphors.
Waste, trauma, poison,
the rude surprises,
the broken pieces.

Truth and myth
that break us open or
make us stronger
or both.
Transformation.

Destruction and the dead end
or
life force and healing.
Choose your path.
Persevere.

Dive down into the depths
and return, return
with precious jewels of regeneration.
Rise up, renew and heal.
Again, again, and again.

“Sometimes we bury materials in order that they may be preserved for the future. Sometimes we bury materials in order to preserve the future from them.”
Robert Macfarlane, Underland: A Deep Time Journey

Scorpio New Moon, Dark Moon

November 4, 2021 2:14 PM PST

Scorpio tends to hold their cards close to the chest, keep it cool, don’t reveal too much. But the new moon lands exactly opposite Uranus and it’s likely to be an emotional roller-coaster for some people. Restraint is not the word of the day… except for those bound to codes of safety and protection who may over-react. This new moon kicks off a month that highlights the tense Saturn square Uranus signature of 2021.

Don’t let anxiety, agitation and irritability run the show.

Choose your path. Combine emotional intensity with mental perception to break away from limiting habits. What are your “go to” self-destructive habits? Direct the restlessness of this moon phase to break through emotional conflict and tune into clarity and intuition. The influence of Uranus is bold and often chaotic, yet Uranus is also known as the Awakener and the Liberator. In other words, wake up and be free!

The new moon seed comes to fruition at the next full moon, a lunar eclipse in Taurus on November 19. Transformation full speed ahead!

“Everything in your life will improve as soon as your determination to move forward is stronger than your reluctance to let go.” Timber Hawkeye

How may I be awake and aware to the gifts of every day of being alive?

What are my predictable numbing or addictive habits?

What are the images, memories, words, and phrases that are arising within me and around me that drag me down?

What are the images, memories, words, and phrases that are arising within me and around me that affirm and support me?

Leo New Moon: Precarious Gamble

August 7, 2021 By Jacqueline

“Gambling is sacred chance, an opportunity to be in contact
with the living, breathing, scattered cosmos.”
– Enrique Salmon, Iwigara: The Kinship of Plants and People

Life seems a precarious gamble.
Play it safe.
Take a chance.
Watch your step.

Think again.
Reconsider, deliberate.
Toss the dice
and wing it.

Reassess your situation,
look carefully,
be prudent.
Flip a coin.

Contradictions escalate.
Caught in the cross-hairs
of agitation and restraint.

Draw your circle,
into a spiral
that becomes Your Center.

Leo New Moon
August 8, 2021 6:49 am PDT

This year’s Leo New Moon coincides with Lammas, the ancient Celtic festival celebrating the beginning of harvest season. Lammas (Lughnasadh) is one of four traditional cross-quarter days that mark the height of the season. Sun and Moon land at the midpoint between Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox, a prompt to take stock of our courage for change. Leo is a fixed sign (along with Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius) and has great strength to persist and endure, but tends to resist change.

The pure essence of Leo is radiant self expression, playful creative abundance, confident, generous and entertaining. The shadow may manifest as egocentric, arrogant, over-bearing, extravagant, childish or melodramatic behavior.

The complexity of the current time is mirrored by the new moon design. Fiery Leo stands in opposition to the cool, stern and sober face of Saturn and square to unpredictable Uranus, highlighting the ongoing dilemmas of 2021.
Should I stay or Should I go?
Conform or boldly break free?
Hang tight or take a leap?
Shut up or speak out?
Work within the system or be an entrepreneur?

“Let nothing dim the light which shines from within.” Maya Angelou (Leo Rising)

It is a tense time. All the best attributes of Leo are super-charged in our favor if we can align ourselves with the confident, yet vulnerable, creativity and generosity available at this new moon. Look to where Leo falls in your chart for clues as to where this power and intensity is highlighted.

“All that is important is this one moment in movement. Make the moment important, vital, and worth living. Do not let it slip away unnoticed and unused.” Martha Graham (Leo Moon)

Leo New Moon Seeds of Inquiry

How may I be available to the creative force of my inner being?

What habitual patterns are generating fear and resistant to change?

What new awareness is awakening me in this year of 2021?

What is my harvest of awakening and how am I am evolving?
