The last lunar cycle this year

-
Now we are about to say bye
Today around 2:44pm EST the moon takes it's step into Capricorn and that my friends is our final Lunar Cycle for this Lunar Year.  I know it seems like yesterday that we welcomed in this Dragon Year (as called in the Chinese Zodiac), but alas we will journey forward.  The significance of this last lunar cycle can be huge for us, if we let it.

At the end a time for.....
This 13th lunation of the moon represents in some sense a culminating and benchmark of our progress over the last 12 months.  More than a usual check in, let's really assess our true steps on our path and see the progress and the lessons that are still to be learned.  For me I think of words like reflect, release, acknowledge, balance, appreciate, discard, uphold, reinforce, and lastly know.

Time for teaching
And speaking of lessons, this last cycle is in Capricorn, which is ruled by none other than Saturn, the ultimate representation teacher.  Saturn is all about giving us all of what we need and a bit of what we want, so be not discouraged if we are reworking, rerouting or detouring, it's all a part of the education of us.

See what I've received
For me this last lunar cycle of this year is really about amalgamation of the gifts, blessings, progress, lessons, and understandings I have received thus far.  And really, it's about me recognizing the strides I have made with regard to accepting.  My balance of give and receive was so off not that long ago and then my ancestresses spoke to me and told me that this was not their wish for me.  Well after I picked myself off the ground from the emotional falling apart I realized, hey, my spirits love me enough to tell me, you've got things to do and being a prisoner of your own resistance will not do.  So this past lunar year has been a real testament to me listening, being silent, practicing obedience and really just flowing.  Gotta say, it feels good y'all.

Your verb that helps you act
So, here's your chance.  What will be your focus? Will you reflect? Will you accept? Will you act? Be open to whatever verbs your inner voice has for you.  Below are areas that Saturn can shine upon.  Use them as a starting point.  It's the last time this lunar year, so what have we got to lose, it's about leaps of faith at this point.

  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...
