Daughter of Waters

Andrea circa 1976 So initially I thought my posts for the year were done, but then I began to think,  much has been learned this year.  Here are 10 important things that came to me this year in the form of people, experiences, lessons (oh, you know I love those, LOL), and just plain old blessings. I find it more than cathartic to actually see written out some of my best understandings. 10 Things that made the year 2012 for me Elders have gifts for me, even if initially I resist it, I've learned to take them My personal spiritual medicine is real and strong, especially when I believe in it My love of self is really the source of anyone loving me Gauging my point on my path is infinitely what I need in order to take another step I learned that I was waiting to give myself permission to be happy, not anymore :) Being obedient to the Mothers (guides) wishes will take me out of my comfort zone, but so what When I am eager to manifest more in my life I must first f...

So as the moon moves from the maternal like sign of Cancer and into the pretty faced sign of Leo, I say shine that light upon what will assist us all in evolving to that other level in 2013.  The New Year will dawn during the beginning of the Waning Phase of the moon, which is a time when we can make space for what we want to manifest.  So instead of coming up with trumped up surface goals, sit, meditate, and listen to that inner you.  What do you want to ch...

The planet mercury will go into a retrograde period three times be cause the way the pla net is supposed to move and what we see moving are different actions.   W hen this happens, all forms of communication are off kilter.  T o say the least. snail mail, email, cell phone, home phone, speaking to others, speaking to yourself, and don't even think of signing a contract or wonder why negotiations are not going well.  See the map below for a better idea of how all this takes place.   credit: politicalastrologyblog.com For me, a person who 's ruling planet i...

credit: myenergyworks.com Dawning of Fullness With this early morning post I am grateful for breath, for love, for family, for life.  At approximately 5:21am the moon flowed her way into being full under the sign of Cancer.  So as I looked up at the hazy, beacon like moon this morning, all I could think to say was "Hello, Mama Moon".  Acknowledgement is a good thing, but surely we do not have to leave it at that. And what does Full mean? Full Moon time is quite powerful, as it allows each and every one of us the opportunity to fully see the growing capabilities of our wants, dreams, desires, and goals.  Think of Full Moon time as that attainment phase, you know that time when we really get to see what it is that we have put out into the universe.  Not what we have said or professed, but rather that which we really gave energy to. The Moon is the Mother This last Full Moon of this calendar year happens to be in the caring, loving sign of Cancer,...
