Completion: Standing Naked in the Light
August 6
New Moon in Leo
Sun in Leo
Posted during the planetary hour of the Sun
Today marks the official ending of the Temple of the Moon journey and the start of a New Moon in the astrological sign of Leo. This is a natural flow of the existing and primed waters (Cancer) receiving the fires (Leo) that will birth their own mound of manifestation (think of the Primordial waters of Nun).
This journey has taught me a lot about not only myself, but also others and the quality of being more receptive to the emotional flow surrounding. I am comfortable in my head and in a state of analytical scrutiny and feel most vulnerable when that guard must be lowered and compassion and understanding are the needed driving forces. It feels very much like standing naked in the full light of day, flaws and imperfections etched deeply ad on display for all to see. There is anxiety that seeps in that perhaps another will see those things as weaknesses. I realize that none of this is true and that the only one really standing in judgement and scrutiny is myself. Which, calls for more compassion in the more complex form of self-love. And, this is the biggest leap of faith and trust in that you have to acknowledge your own weaknesses and strengths and see them as neither detriment nor support, but in truth the synthesis of both and accessible in either form as you Will it to be.
I hope you have enjoyed this journey and found useful insights and new streams to be explored within your own emotional make-up.
I hope that each day has brought a deeper connection to the cycles of the Moon and the abundance of Her outpourings of healing, change and the need for intent-filled flow and movement.
I hope you have revealed a softer more compassionate way of being and strengthened the raging waters that are also necessary for productive outcome in clearing away.
Waters flowed within
The darkness of foundations
Firmly wrought.
Will found its space of opening
As flow came bubbling up and
Expanding with new life.
The droplets gathered
Breath of full force
And Geyser sent
Watery tendrils
Upward towards
Sunlit sky.
Fire and Water showered down
Returning to their source
And, descent brought
Openings of new found wells
Of pristine clear flowing heart.
Blessings in your continued journey!
