New Moon in Taurus. Unexpected Changes, Raw Edges and Hope.

by Monika Carless | Apr 23, 2020 | Musings

  Wild Ones, I should have posted this yesterday, but was all discombobulated from one, not being at home and am a bit wobbly always when away from my natural habitat, plus was making a big dissertation regarding Covid on FB, which was a long time coming, but...

New Moon in Aquarius. Emotional Volcanoes plus a Breath of Fresh Air.

by Monika Carless | Jan 23, 2020 | Musings

Plucking myself from the anticipation of beginning a new decade, and the heaviness of cosmic activity thus far, I raise my head in defiance of the feeling that each day has been as three: intense, expectant, deliriously demanding. We shuffle through with feet barely...

So this is the pathway, easily worked with to refl So this is the pathway, easily worked with to reflect who the person may have been or what happened. 

1.Understand That None of it Was Your Fault 

Practice, compassion and loving-kindness towards yourself

2.Know Yourself

When you understand your own mystery, your purpose and your soul mission, you can step bravely into your empowerment with your story as fuel for wisdom

3.See Mother for Who she is, Instead of the Woman You’d Like Her to Be

Mother is a complex archetype and thought form. Let go of expectations and see mother as woman first, systematically programmed within a patriarchal world

4.Grieve the Absent Mother and the Wounded Child

Allow space for grief, and release of big emotions. Support your inner child

5.Witness and be Present to Your Wounding, Emotions and Experiences

Look at what happened honestly and with presence. Witness the pain and it will witness itself, fear and anger have a place to express themselves and dissipate

6.Find Your Inner Mother, Self-Soothe

Taking responsibility for our own life experience, finding ways to nurture ourselves and shed the skin of wounding helps us to manifest the life that we want, release mother from her role as the perpetrator, and seeking a ‘rescuer’ relationship, moving from co-dependence to co-creation 

7.Build Strong Boundaries

Over the last five years I have been exploring Ero Over the last five years I have been exploring Eros and sexuality from a different viewpoint than any other time of my life. Because of various circumstances which I will discuss in an upcoming article, I have been mainly, but not exclusively, celibate. Celibacy has been a surprise in many ways - one of the most interesting has been the emotional and physical space to play with Eros as an initiation. I was born under the Balsamic Moon. Say what you will about one’s personal astrology influencing the evolving psyche (not everyone believes in the connection), I have discovered that the archetypal energy of the moon I was born under has mirrored much of my erotic journey. Sex and Eros has always been deeply spiritual for me, a transformation felt in my bones… but I also sometimes abandoned my boundaries when wanting to feel something beyond my physical body. Frustratingly, I also seemed to move between several states of being, sometimes feeling greatly embodied, other times breaking all the rules to find myself nowhere I had intended, and other times feeling sovereign and sure of my journey. I began to wonder if my moon was my primary teacher, and the other moon phases – played supportive roles in helping me understand the full spiral of living a life of Eros. This share is part of what I came up with. I’d love to read your thoughts and experiences.

These traditions play an important part in how we These traditions play an important part in how we feel within our home.

Small yet intentional practices bring us closer to the indwelling spirit or guardian of our space.

I can say through years long personal experience through every home I've lived in that the relationship with the guardian creates a deep heartwarming energy to feel safe in.

Herbs:
Mugwort for prophetic dreams, protection against the evil eye
Rosemary: protection, peaceful sleep
Yarrow: preventing negativity, energetic shield
St. John's Wort: clearing the air and protecting the home from disaster

Blessed be, Witches!

Eclipses create such powerful imagery, reflecting Eclipses create such powerful imagery, reflecting the initiation, descent, the excavation and the rising of whatever quest we are on individually and collectively.

I hope that the Leo Sun is warming the path you are on. This is an evocative time, Leo Season, where we can be more in touch with our heart and heart-centered living. 

We feel the eclipse, not only do we see it - it isn't a one day event but a story that weaves itself through us recalling past eclipses, solidifying wisdom, asking questions, providing answers. An eclipse is as much a living thing as you and I. 

Blessed be.

Eclipse Season this Spring took me down an unexpec Eclipse Season this Spring took me down an unexpected road in ways I could not have anticipated. Losses, (a friendship, health, direction, inspiration) I stand at the feet of the Goddesses grateful that this autumnal eclipse season has brought clarity (some) while opening my heart and mind to new possibilities. I still mourn that friendship, though. It was an honor to be in that sphere.

What's been true for you Beloved? This portal feels quick and decisive.

One of the many gifts of exploring my mother wound One of the many gifts of exploring my mother wound has been to see life through my mother's eyes, and to imagine her fully as a human being on her own path. To let go of my expectations of her was part of the reconciliation that happened in my heart. Since my mother's passing we have become much closer, ironically, because the physical distance has made room for my taking things less personally.
