Shining like the SUN....corner illuminations

Bringing back the light. That’s what this waning phase is really about. During the waning moon emphasis should be on preparing for the coming new moon and removing things from your life that YOU ARE WILLING TO LET GO. That’s right folks, we are going to have to give up some or all of that emotional baggage we are carrying around for free. For all the times you have felt it was too dark to move, for all the days when you wished things were a little lighter, for each chance you realized you didn’t have enough light, here he is...LIGHT and in the brazen sign of Leo. It has been properly placed at the end of this calendar you. Are you seeing a setup, I think so.

I know for me, this waning time is going to focus on my ritual process and me as a ritual process. I am going to use this light to shine into every part of ritual I create, intuit, and recall from my ancestral memory. Also, I want to take into the new calendar year a person, far different than the one who entered 2007, but one who is fully aware of all that she has learned and the necessity for all the events in my life this past year. Whew! That was reflective. In a nutshell I will release any negativity and keep all the positivity and growth.

The Sun, Ruler of Leo, is one who likes to shine, but be aware that shining also exposes things, make sure you have your things in proper order for LIGHT does not play favorites. Shadows may see light for the first time in ages, allow those shadows to develop into actual blessings. No matter what you find in the light see each entity as a gift.
