Let us not forget the Leap Year

Look what leaped in?

Once every four years we are gifted with an extra day, some extra energy, an additional chance to get it right! 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 that fact puts us in a position to know how and what to ask for.

In & out, the beauty of breath

Now, this Leap Year I suggest we think about this one concept -  Air.  Let me explain.  The sign of Gemini, although ruled by the planet Mercury, is also in the domain of the element of Air.  Air, the breath, the wind, the mind, quite plainly put, the Inspiration.  This element is essential to most life forms on the planet and we as humans are no different.  Air is the creation of the concepts we accept, protect, and utilize in our lives.  It also is that breath that we wield that at any given moment can change a situation, just by being cycled.  So, this Leap Year, in this Waxing Moon phase, take the time to inspire you personal journey; INSPIRE yourself.  Make the impossible, not only possible or plausible, but Performed or even Perfected!  Mark this Leap Year as the year you took your life by the reins and lived it like no other.

What will inspire your Air?

To stimulate us during these coming auspicious hours of Leap Year magic, choose from some of the Air inspired elements to sprinkle that extra something on your efforts to create the magic that life has to offer. All of these below can be purchased or even made at home, search the internet there are endless ideas and recipes, it's what speaks to you.

I love this.

This is the year before the 4-0. My work is to get myself aligned and situated...but, wow, it's such a daily struggle. I'm going to make a list of what I'd like to accomplish, what I need to accomplish, and what I will accomplish. My impossibilities must be performed to be realized! I do so appreciate your new post. Needed it. --z

  Firstly, the fullness Can you feel it? Did you see it? This morning at about 7:11am (EST) the moon reached it's fullness, in Sagittarius no less. This time of the lunar cycle is great for things to bubble over.  Now remember, that can be both positive or negative.  So, I say to us all, accept that extra energy we feel.  Don't shy away from the increased emotionality that is hovering over us. As I stated above this is a Sagittarius Full Moon, which means that the planet ruling this Full Moon is Jupiter, that benevolent, all knowing, and amazingly royal planet.  Look for positive surprises over the next few days or so.  Jupiter is known as a bestower of gifts, sometimes gifts that we thought were long forgotten about.  Now focus that energy inward To add spice to all of this right before that moon peaked this morning a lunar eclipse occurred. And remember eclipses are the ability to manifest our wants and desires more than other times of year...

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 pers...
