Crossing quarter
As the daylight grows each day we find ourselves closer and closer to the Summer Solstice. If there seems to be fanfare around the solstice, there is. This cross quarter day has meaning to so many cultures for so many different reasons. On this Summer Solstice I'd like us to focus our energy on the word illumination. To see the unseen, to view the hidden, and most of all to light the way.

Bursting boost
The solstice will begin Thursday June 21st at 6:07am EST in the Northern Hemisphere and it is the official start of the summer, but it is more than a mere seasonal shift. The summer, known as a time for growth, blossoms, and expansion is also a time to benefit from a boost of energy that is available to all of us. The longer daylight and usually warmer days feeds both us and the planet simultaneously. We each have a choice in what to do with summer's extra offerings as well as the trajectory of our current life paths. Begin now to prepare and be intentional and purposeful about this summer, perhaps as you have not in the past.

My walk this summer will involve standing in the sun and being seen. For most of my life I've
appreciated the stage from the wings but this summer I will, when requested, step onto the stage. I think most of my center stage apprehension has been around attention, responsibility, and the unknown. Those days are over. Bare with me as I teeter out of my proverbial shell, there may be a few hiccups. Not too worry, there will be no oversharing here.

Making more
Below are motifs and ways to mark as well and measure your progress during the summer. Often times we are not successful because we do not think we will be, so, set yourself up for all wins this coming season. And as always, use these tools as a guidepost to finding your own combination of things that help you navigate what you want and what you are willing to do to get it.

Blessed spirits open me to the totality of my dreams,

There is great power and knowledge available if I believe,

And remain open to receive what dreamtime has for me.

Once upon a moon so Blue

Take a look

Up, up in the sky the full moon is on high and this full moon brings such great boons, for the color blue imbues on you. These few words together express now the ecstatic feeling I have inside and out.  At approximately 6:42am EST we will officially be blessed with our Blue Moon or rather full moon.  A Blue Moon is simply put the second full moon in a single calendar month.  Although much lore and allegory comes from the Blue Moon very few of us harness this power and use it constructively.  Let's change that RIGHT NOW!

The cosmic keys
This Blue Moon in the summer of much unrest comes as a golden opportunity for us to collectively and individually move mountains. Dear Blue Moon peaks during the time of Aquarius, our truest friend. Aquarius makes room for supernatural power and bursting through the barriers we have accepted thus far in life.  With thoughts of cosmic energy and celestial bodies, this Aquarian time can be the game changer we need.

A father's gift
Now, having said all of that the real trigger for this Blue Moon lies in knowing that the power source behind Aquarius is the great and mysterious planet Uranus. Uranus, the archetypical Father Sky provides for us sight beyond the surface and allows for us to pull on inventive juices like no other time.  The concept of electricity and lighting things that are darkened is also another focus to take on during this Blue Moon.  What Aquarius has in store for us, Uranus will show us how to manifest it.

Simply dream
This Blue Moon for me is about entering the dream time voluntarily and listening. Seems simple right? Well there is consistency of entering dream time. Oh and yes the recording/writing of dream time messages. And lastly, the extension of these dream time lessons into my everyday. Although I know there are changes up ahead for me, I will only be as great as my connection to my dream time will allow. My charge has been set!

Take time to see
Please take time over the next 48 hours to authentically hear, listen, dream, see, smell and know the gifts this Blue Moon has for you. As you spend time alone, with family/friends, or even in public, see the messages that are right in front of you. When the veil is removed what can you see?  Below are a set of questions related to the work in the sign Aquarius.

Blue Moon in Aquarius questions

Do I connect with dream time?

If yes why? If no, why not?

Are there portions of my artistic self that needs a makeover?

What steps can I take now to begin that process?

Do I believe in idealism? Why or why not?

What can I do to attribute to more idealism in the world?

Candle Power

At the Full Moon there is an awesome amount of power available and a way to cement that power and your works is by burning candles.  Below is information on the color white (close to opalescence) associated with Uranus.  Find White candles that are safe and burn them as long and as much as you like.  Fire is a tool of creation that can ignite you towards your goals this Full Moon.

Dream the possible dream, you dreamer you....

Well on this auspiciously Autumn morn I want to bring a small token of thoughts, questions, and dictates to all of us. The moon, in her Waning Phase has just entered Gemini, which is ruled by none other than Mercury. Now this Waning time is best for ridding one's self of things we no longer need as we finish up this lunar cycle and prepare ourselves for the next cycle. So, this time is for endings, purgings, tying up loose ends, and being totally honest with ourselves about the "real deal" around certain situations. In essence, we are given one last stretch to really allow magic to happen in our lives.

What does all of this mean for us? I know some of you know who Mercury is and what power Mercury can wield. Keeping that in mind, also know that aside from being the ultimate Trickster, Mercury represents communication. Yes, that is right, our efforts to dialog, understand, transmit, and receive all may be in peril right now, but these things may also be on the upswing in our lives. Take this possibly stressful thought of miscommunication or noncommunication as a time to do something different and that is DREAM. Why yes, I said it. Our dream time also offers us communication with a part of ourselves we rarely reach on a waking level. Go the distance, take the leap, do the work. It is Autumn season, a time we work possibly harder than we do other times of the year, it's okay, it will pay off. Dream that dream you were afraid to dream, dream that dream that did not come true before, dream that dream that seemed impossible. No matter what you do, JUST DREAM!!!!!

Okay, so always willing to put my money where my mouth is, I too need this Dream mandate. I, just like you all, am susceptible to the curve balls and loops that life throws, I had to be reminded in a dream that DREAMS REALLY DO COME TRUE. But first I must believe. So my energy during this Waning Phase will be focused on understanding the power of my dreams and getting out of my own way and letting them unfold. Period!

I suggest, if you feel up to it, keep a dream journal by your bed, just for the remainder of this cycle (over the next 11 days), write down as much as you can remember. Then pull out the main things you remember, a person, a place, or even things, these are the motifs. Look the motifs up here http://bit.ly/r6CHkZ and just see what you come up with. I must warn you its quite a revelation and can be habit forming, LOL.

Below are areas that we can make great strides in when the moon is moving through a sign that is Mercury ruled
