Oh my, my....war is an art?

Yes the symbol sitting here next to this text may be familiar to some and a complete blur to others.  This symbol in yoga is known as the warrior, thought it would be an appropriate image to go with our focus during this Aries Lunar Cycle; embracing our own warrior who will art of war our way through this cycle.

Aries, the first sign in the Zodiac pantheon, represents the infant that assertively demands and receives all that it needs and a lot of what it wants.  Become that youngling that boldly steps into the role of pioneer, charting your destiny like the adventurous souls of the Old West.  Now there may be those of us who either think they are or are not in touch with their inner warrior.  To all of us I say let's really restructure how, when, where, and why our warrior even emerges.  Perhaps we pop off at things that are unimportant and then slump down into quiet nothingness when we should be upholding some worthwhile.  The basic point of all this is truly CHECK your warrior energy, is it being utilized in the most effective ways that will edify your life path---pointblank!  Doing this for most of us (me included) will be a big step into that UNKNOWN we all know and love.  And? If we have come this far we might as well keep on stepping forward.

Okay, I was talking BIG JUNK, but the only way we contort, morph, and evolve is when we force ourselves to do it.  Rarely does metamorphosis occur without change.  And given that the planet Mars is the ruler of Aries time, we will have at our disposal some pretty large energy bursts.  No wonder Spring is full of new everything.

I am tasking myself with doing exactly what I am to do for me---NO EXCUSES.  I am the mistress of making miracles come just at the last minute, but hey, what if I am not at my wits end when a breakthrough comes? Yeah, that's a thought.  I am here to art of war myself into being my biggest worker bee.  As productive as I am for everything else in my life, I am purposely taking all that mojo and applying it to myself.  Doin' it, doin' it, and doin' it well -- for me (for my 90's song junkies, LOL).

Aries Cycle Concept - Moonlight

Below are just a few questions to scratch the surface of what we think is the power of the Moonlight

 

What does moonlight mean to you?

 

What beautiful and magical things may have happened to you during moonlight?

 

How can we as people benefit from the gifts of the moonlight?

 

Even now when the moon is dark, can I find the power of her light? 

 

 

Aries Cycle Affirmation

I am open to the blessings the Moon has for me this cycle, 

 

I accept the untapped sparks that will catapult me on this path,

 

I am grateful for the love, lessons, and light I will receive,

 

Knowing this I courageously and bravely say YES!
