Think, Seed, Plant, Grow

Something new comes
At approximately 1:14am (EDT) Tuesday, March 20, 2012 we usher in another season and one of my favorites, I must say...Spring!  The Spring Equinox is a day that reminds us of the balance that light and dark can have in our lives.  Gone are the long dark days of Winter, now we will be blessed with the bountifulness of light.

And the question is
Spring, a time of rebirth and fertility can also stand as a personal tipping point for each of us.  What goals or dreams have we not yet dreamt?  Do we really have balance between the light and dark parts of our life paths?  And lastly, if we have exhausted all of our options are we worth the efforts to begin, yet again?  These questions can be amply answered and so much more this time of year.  As our agrarian ancestors knew it, now is the time to decide and plant those seeds: seeds of hope, seeds of courage, seeds of love, seeds of progress, seeds of life.

Within each of us is a seed
So, not one to mince words...know your seeds!  And not the ones found at your local nursery or a home improvement store.  These seeds are your deepest and most treasured inner realities.  And believe me sometimes we can hide our seeds quite well, even from ourselves.  Do yourself the favor.  Take the time, ask yourself this question.  What seeds will I plant this Spring? If I can not think of my seeds what is really going on?

Seeds that are to lead
My personal seed I will plant this Spring is one of leadership that is steeped in balance, intention, strength, and grace.  I am accepting my ability to respond to things knowing I have all that I need to lead myself and others into our next phase.  So my seeds are in my hand and I too will symbolically plant them.

Work your own brand of magic
Okay so you have your seed or seeds, now what? Well, mark your time and space by creating, introducing or embracing a ritual to help you celebrate this step in springtime.  Write some words, listen to a favorite song that grounds you, take a walk and visualize your seed being planted.  Do whatever you feel necessary to cement your seeds.  Here are some key concepts that can take root during spring and elements of springtime.

  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...

Let us not forget the Leap Year

credit: theoriginof.com 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 t...
