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!

  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...
