Awakening Your Creative Genius in the Snow Moon Light

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.”

Happy New Moon Valentine’s Day!

Happy New Moon Valentine’s Day!
 
The timing couldn’t be more perfect, spending it than on the back end of a new moon phase.
 
new moon always brings a time of new beginnings. It’s a period when the sky is completely black, with the exception of little sparkles of light in the form of stars.
 
It’s the point in every month when the moon takes a retreat and begins to grow again, redoubling her light and reflecting new creative energy on all worldly things. It marks an ideal time for connecting with our inner selves and our heart’s desire. By looking for the “light” and knowing that it’s there, somewhere, waiting to be discovered – we can reach a place where our personal reflection begins to shed its own light.
 
What wants to emerge from within you? What wants to be created outside of you?
 
 
It sounds like a perfect message for Valentine’s Day, don’t you think?

What Are You Bringing into Light?

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.

How Can Winter Inspire Your Creative Genius?

 
The winter season is a wonderful time to immerse yourself in the creative process!
 
It brings a rich opportunity to awaken the “creative genius within” by exploring the gifts that are found in darkness. It allows us to reflect on our personal and creative journeys, taking a closer look at who we are – underneath the layers of life.
 
By looking for the “light” – and knowing that it’s there, somewhere, waiting to be discovered – we can reach a place where our personal reflection begins to shed its own light.
 
It’s a time to ponder where we’ve been, how we got to where we are now – and where to go from here. It’s an opportunity to explore new ways of thinking and to prepare for a new path of travel. It also marks an ideal time for connecting with our creative voice and our true heart’s desire.
 
  • How will your “creative genius” be inspired by the darkness of the winter solstice?
  • What magic will be created within you – as you move through the winter season and into spring?
  • How will this magic be expressed through your creative work – and brought into springtime’s full bloom?
These are great questions to explore as we approach the winter solstice and move into the winter season – a time of rich reflection, introspection, renewal, and a thirst for all that is light.
