We’re moving into a new moonphase tomorrow – which might stir a strong desire for creative change or a new creative direction. It may even bring an awareness that NOW is the time to seed what might be necessary for a personal or professional transformation.
This particular new moon highlights the Leo qualities of self-expression, creativity, courage, confidence, and authentic visibility – while shining a light on certain life themes involving creative projects, fun and pleasure, children, and the inner child.
As we settle into the last full month of summer, you may feel a slight nudging toward something you might want to start in the fall – something that has a more joyful and playful energy to it.
It’s a good time now, in the playful season of summer, to begin to put the intention out there – to say to the universe, “Yes, I am ready for this change and I am open to approaching it from a more creative and playful direction!”
Where in your life do you desire a creative new start? Where in your life do you need more courage and confidence?
This Leo New Moon challenges you to “Ask for what you want – and be prepared to get it.”
Tomorrow brings the summer solstice – and with it, the summer season.
It’s a wonderful time to immerse yourself in the creative process.
It’s a season of light and celebration – a magical time to witness a creative garden in full bloom.
It’s a perfect opportunity to call forth a long-held dream, one that you never thought would see the light of day.
As celebrated poet Mary Oliver asks in her poem, The Summer Day – “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
What magic is waiting for you in the light of the summer solstice?
What dream do you want to bring to fruition in the abundance of summer?
What feels important in this stage of your wild and precious life?
Come join me in a special summer version of my Creative Alchemy Studio – where we’ll tap into the gifts of the summer season as we move through the phases of the moon, bringing light to your creative voice and giving birth to a new body of creative work.
Here’s to the creative magic of the summer season!
This time tomorrow, we’ll be under the influence of a full flower moon.
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.
Maybe you’re experiencing gentle nudges out of your comfort zone? Perhaps you’re being guided toward creating big shifts in your life?
It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes by well-known journal writer and novelist, Anais Nin.
What intentions are being unearthed in you – bringing you to the Flower Moon’sbloom?
What visions are stirring in your mind? What is ready to be seen in full moonlight?
Just over the horizon, the snow moon rises – bringing light to the heart of the winter season.
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.
As Italian poet and playwright Pietro Aretino once proclaimed, “Let us love winter, for it is the spring of genius.”
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…)
As we move into the winter solstice and toward the last full moon of 2020, what are you choosing to bring into light?
And what do you need to release – in order to make room for this light?
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.”
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.
