Distill the tumult and disruption
to the essential values of your heart.
Slow down to know
what to hold on to and what to let go.
Eclipse upheaval.
Rapid revelations. Agitation.
Out of the ordinary.
Uncertainty is stressful.
The tension of opposites at odds
tips the balance of stability.
Lean into the crux.
Challenging times, dramatic times.
Eyes open to awakening future now.
Layers of perception –
past, present and future
in a magnified design.
Window of possibilities
sparks excitement dizzy with distractions.
Logic and analysis are challenged by
unexpected and intuitive change.
Release the over-analysis rehash!
What is the radiant reality
that illuminates your path ahead?
Time for endings and letting go.
Be honest and be real.
How balanced and steady is the ground
upon which we build the future?
Distill the tumult and disruption
to the essential values of your heart.
Slow down to know
what to hold on to and what to let go.
Eyes open to awakening future now,
insights glimmer through the reality schism.
May our collective wisdom and transformation
be fed by our individual awakenings.
Lunar Eclipse Aquarius August 7, 2017 11:10 am PDT
The transformative power of this full moon is super-charged by a lunar eclipse at the midpoint of two Leo New Moons. Eclipses are phases in which we do not travel in ordinary space time, but in a dimension of mystery, synchronicity and surprise. Irrational and unpredictable.
Take nothing for granted,
question certainty,
explore possibilities,
invoke persistent gratitude.
Uranus (ruler of visionary Aquarius), the agent of awakening and electric change, at a standstill; Uranus shifted into retrograde on August 2. Willpower is defiant and rebellious. The hectic pace is electrified and magnified.
August 4: Jupiter square Pluto. Integrity is tested again and again.
August 12: Mercury retrograde in Virgo. Devotion to details.
August 21: Solar Eclipse Leo. We are navigating a grand cusp of change.
It’s not about pushing and getting nowhere frazzled and fast.
There is wisdom in timing. Has over-thinking distanced you from being present with the immediacy of your feelings? Attunement with your personal rhythms brings you into attunement with earth’s rhythms. Listen to your body! We grow by leaps and bounds as we bring our beliefs into practice. The gift is recognizing what we know to be true. Remember your truth. When the ground is shifting, we improvise our dance with the unknown.
“To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest.” Pema Chödrön

“The reading was so validating. In the past, I would just think I was doing it wrong. Now I am gentler with myself. There are cycles and some are more challenging than others. Thanks again for your work. You have helped me a lot in my spiritual journey. I end up being able to take a breath and become more accepting after a reading from you. I appreciate you.” Pam B.

Carol Lee Kilby says
thank you again! We met in early 2000 at a Cosmic Mass in Oakland and I have been grateful ever since. Especially this morning when my pity party is in full swing and anger wants to lead the dance. SO much has been tossed out of the nest this week I am flapping my wings like crazy. Thanks for helping me get some air beneath those wings and rise up to meet what’s happening in the cosmic reality. Thank you.

Carol, I am touched to hear that my words support you. Keep breathing into that air beneath your wings! The eclipses are curious, they always seem to come veering out from a blind corner even when we know to “expect the unexpected”. Once again we get a wake up call. We are human – aren’t we?! It’s so good to hear from you! Thank you for sticking with me over the years. Those Cosmic Masses were extraordinary events.
