The Equinox can turn my life upside down

Blessings this foggy and mythic morning. This crisp mixed summer and fall day brings to mind the image of birth, life and new beginnings. As we proceed into another season of the year, Autumn, I say to us all that this equinox is setting up to be quite a powerful one. Now why birth you say? Well as if an equinox is not enough we are also joined at this point by the planet Cancer and his magical mother the Moon. Quite a couple to usher in any event in life, but at a turning point in the seasons and on this planet it means we, yes you and me, have such an opportunity to turn things the way we want them. Yes it will take work, but these types of points are laid out for us because the Creators want us to be successful.

So, back to birth. Yes we all were born, but we all can also be reborn and that takes only us and our commitment to personal evolution. And, I am going to suggest we look at this rebirth as a release or a ridding of things that are not productive to who we really are in this lifetime. I am also not even surprised that all of this lines itself up during a Waning Phase. At first I felt some kind of way about not posting during the Full Moon, but ya know what, what I am charged to say is for a time such as this. Let me put it in plain English. As this Waning Phase of the moon is here it is totally fortuitous for us to use the Eternal Mother energy of the Moon to rebirth or put to death portions of ourselves that are no longer necessary.

For me, well, as always I am looking to better myself, but recently I hit a true low with myself and out of that rock bottom place has come clarity, appreciation for the fires of pain, and an ultimate spring board to where I am to be, making decisions I need to make and the knowledge that I am going where I am supposed to be; My Evolved Self.

Below are areas to explore when doing work during a time when the Moon is prominent. Feel free to take these areas and expand or contract them to be exactly what it is that you need to focus on during this Waning Phase.

Work in the Moon

Inner Healing

Welfare of Children

Connection to cycles

Casting off illusions




Waning Phase Totem-Bat
Concept-Rebirth



To rebirth I must break down all notions of my former self




If I resist changing the results could be painful




I entered the world upside down, so transformation will send me for loops, expect it




Herb/Essences for the Waning Phase


Try incorporating these as incense, essential oils, aromas, images into daily life during the remainder of the Waning Phase




Eucalyptus - Healing



Lemon - Love



Sandalwood - Spirituality






Autumnal Affirmation




In order to enter the next phase of me I must submit,



Knowing that this submission will bring about a magical rebirth,



If I resist or embrace fear challenges will abound

Mother Moon, May I....

Welcome again the time of Mother Moon. We are now enveloped in this Cancerian Lunar Cycle. What just peaked upon us earlier this week has already brought about such powerful wells of emotion, of all kinds. Do not take lightly the salient savory energy that we all have at our feet.

The Moon, which rules Cancer, is our mother, is the amalgamation of the feminine, is the holder of many truths for us. We, all of us, must strive to access that place of truth, of empowerment, of simply put, LOVE. Cancer time is for many things, but think about yielding long term rewards or supportive and nurturing love work. Moon time is not for the quick or the dirty. This time should be for steadfast, honest, inspiring works.

For this entire cycle I am putting me first and checking myself in every way possible, for I must take advantage of the healing for my internal that can be done at this time. So, might not be as "on the scene" as I usually am because I am taking time for me. And even in the mist of situations, I will take time, breathe, think about what I want and proceed from there. Rather than irrational explosions, I will allow that inner Moon Goddess to alert me to the next steps.

Now, what's your focus for this Cancer Lunar Cycle?
