One of the gifts that the full moon gives us is an overwhelming desire to come alive. Whether that’s bringing a passion front and center or finally making the decision to take a giant leap forward in a new direction that is fully aligned with our creative calling.
Imagine driving through a fast food window and placing an order – only this time the menu lists the one thing that you’ve been contemplating for quite some time.
Perhaps it’s that life-changing book you’ve been working on for eons, but you keep finding yourself facing one creative block after another. Or maybe it’s that passion-filled business that you’ve been wanting to start, but you haven’t yet gotten the courage to just go for it. Or it could be the nonprofit organization you’ve been pondering, the one that’s destined to change the world.
Whatever it is – it’s on the menu right now. And the clerk (who happens to be representing the positive energies of the universe) says, “What can I get for you today?”
This is your moment! Will you order it? Will you tell the universe, “Yes, this is the right time for me. I’ll take it.”
And then the clerk says, “Would you like to super-size that?”
What would it take for you to say, “Heck yeah!”?
This time tomorrow, we’ll be under the influence of a full flower moon.
Â
You may be sensing an “inner blooming” – like petals of a flower unfolding, with the various effects transcending into every part of your life – personally, professionally, and creatively.
Â
Maybe you’re experiencing gentle nudges out of your comfort zone? Perhaps you’re being guided toward creating big shifts in your life?
Â
It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes by well-known journal writer and novelist, Anais Nin.
Â
Â
What intentions are being unearthed in you – bringing you to the Flower Moon’s bloom?Â
Â
What visions are stirring in your mind? What is ready to be seen in full moon light? Â
Just over the horizon, the snow moon rises – bringing light to the heart of the winter season.
Â
It offers a rich opportunity to awaken the “creative genius within” – stirring insights and ideas that can be developed into passion projects that inspire a larger creative calling.
Â
As Italian poet and playwright Pietro Aretino once proclaimed, “Let us love winter, for it is the spring of genius.”
Â
Â
What creative insights are waiting for you in the heart of the winter season? What ideas want to be explored in the light of the snow moon?
As we approach another new moon phase, which marks the beginning of a lunar cycle, I’m reminded of how the moon serves as a metaphor for transition, starting in darkness and uncertainty – and moving into light and possibility.
Whether we’re on a journey of self-discovery or contemplating a new project or creative direction, the moon offers us wisdom that can light our way, providing insights that spark new ideas, questions and thoughts.
The new moon phase is a perfect time to embrace a new beginning, even if it feels uncertain. (more…)
What gift does our lunar goddess have for us as we bring closure to a year full of surprises and disappointments, unexpected twists and mysterious turns, revelations that we didn’t see coming?
Â
For many centuries, the moon has inspired thousands of beautiful stories, songs, dances, paintings, and poems. Through her many phases, she has served as a muse in a variety of ways.
Â
What is it about the moon that stirs our innermost thoughts and inspires our deepest creativity?
Â
What is it about her that unleashes the magic of our dreams?
Â
The full moon brings a time of high energy and great sensitivity. It’s also a period of extraordinary creativity. Dreams (both day and night) are at their height during this phase – with the potential to activate possibilities that you never thought were possible.
As we move into the winter solstice and toward the last full moon of 2020, what are you choosing to bring into light?
Â
And what do you need to release – in order to make room for this light?
Â
Â
In the words of mystic poet Rumi, “Let the waters settle and you will see the moon and the stars mirrored in your own being.”
Â
As you settle into the winter season and begin to think about what you’d like to manifest, give yourself permission to express the brightest light within you – and allow it to take you where it may.
