The Sheep I rode in on

It's a Sheep
This evening marks a new beginning for us.  No, not just a new lunar cycle, but rather the start of a new Lunar Year.  We have 13 more new moons where we shall live our best lives.  This particular Lunar Year (the eighth sign of the Chinese Zodiac) has come to us as the
Year of the Green Wood Sheep.  More than just an image or a symbol, the Sheep sets the stage for us in fantastic ways.

What we get
The Sheep, an animal we think we know, has many traits that we can utilize this Lunar Year.  Dearest Sheep gives to us kindness and compassion, but do not go overboard and become too passive cause that is not a good use of its energy.  We will find it easier this Lunar Year to take the high road and rise above our challenges, rather than battle them.  Those fabled horns of the Sheep will amplify our imagination, but only if we possess clear vision and are willing to put forth the efforts to make things shine through.  This is a time of great leaps, not the thought of it, but the doing of it.  Sheep has shown us that we don't need much space to jump, just the determination.  And one last thought from the Sheep is to take part in groups or teams.   Collaboration will hold lots of manifestation for us, this is not the year to DO IT ON OUR OWN.

Wooded blessings
Before I forget, the significance of the words Green and Wood mean that much of our focus will be on grounding and centering ourselves in a very Earth based space.   There will be stability, prosperity, nature, renewal and the ability for things to become evergreen in our lives, if we are open and willing to work towards it. Surely these are trajectories we can all use.

My map for the year
My Sheep magic will come in the form of staying my course on my spiritual and personal paths.  There are so many things that can come and breeze by me, but I must keep stepping, leaping when called for, and JUST DO IT.  No more talking, planning or assessing.  2015 is a year of definitive action for me.  Looking forward to it, but also knowing rest and renewal has to be couched in there as well.

..."Sheep has shown us that we don't need much space to jump, just the determination." This line definitely spoke to me...
So many ways to dissect that thought, but for me It reminds me to stop making excuses for my limitations. Instead with vision, purpose, and drive, we can get over our hurdles.
I look forward to the sweet medicine that comes from your blogs. Immense thanks sis for all that you do!

  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...
