Daughter of Waters

Well on this coming Wednesday, that opportunity comes up yet again.  I prescribe we think less of a Leap Year as the year of governmental leadership, but rather it's the year we take that necessary step towards our empowerment.  Having said that, let's check where things are "lunarly" this Leap Year.   Watch as it waxes At this point in the cycle we have moved out of the New Moon space and we should all be diligently working towards our intentions.  This phase of the moon is called "Waxing", meaning we are actively building and constructing our paths each and every moment.  No second guessing, just movement and strides right now.  This Leap Year is aligned with the Waxing Half Moon in Gemini, which some of us may know is Mercury ruled.  Yes, Mercurial energy can be tricky, but knowing t...

Blessing from the deep Neptune, a planetary energy impossible to capture, is that piss or get off the pot kind of urging.  A representation of the deepest part of the Ocean, this planet is the realness, no faking accepted.  At this point in our evolution we are either going to grab for what we want or shirk back into that old self.  Now, this does not have to be a jerking, whip lashing ordeal.  If we set your minds to it, humble ourselves to the experiences and stay open, Neptune can bear great gifts. Just saying yes My focus this lunar cycle will be on submerging myself willingly.  That's ...

At that Full Moon time again.  Although the moon looks full it will become it's fullest sometime during the day on Tuesday February 7th.  So, we all have time to digest what is before us, set our strengths to HIGH and make it all happen.  Going to set it all up for us...let's see...here we go! The light of Lions This Full Moon is in the luscious, lovely, and lavish sign of Leo.  Now, before we jump out the gate with our assumptions of Leo (me included), after careful thought and understanding I realized that Leo is such a beautiful ally for all of us, not just for those born under the sign.  The power that thrusts, pushes, and drives anything related to Leo is the SUN, that wonderful agent of warmth, smiles, rays, and hope.  Think for a minute...how have you felt on the first sunny day after a week of grey days? AMAZING, right?  Want to know why? Well the Sun has the a...

Credit: weheartit.com This morning as I began preparing my personal rituals I was going to do for Imbolc, I thought wait....Maybe folks would like to know this information as well, so here it goes... Imbolc is a Gaelic celebration that was, and for many still is, a festival of the hearth and home, and a celebration of the lengthening days and the early signs of spring.  It serves as a midpoint for many between the dark, internal, and womb like energies of winter and the lighter, crowning, and re/birth energies of spring.  In the earth based lores it is the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox.  Fire and purification are an important aspect as well.  So candles and fires can be a part of the celebrations.  Makes total sense, since with spring comes more light of the days and our spirits. As a part of my coming rebirth (what I am marking this Imbolc) I am claiming the new me that has been on deck for what feels like a hundred ye...
