How the New Moon in Virgo teaches us Sovereignty & a Mantra for each Sun Sign. The Archetypal Virgin Speaks.

by Monika Carless | Aug 29, 2019 | Musings

The new/dark moon enters Virgo on August 30th as do the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars. This intense relationship between moon, sun, and planets does not end there. Chiron, Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, and Saturn are currently in Retrograde. You may be feeling this...

A Quickie Survival Guide to the Full Moon/Eclipse in Capricorn

by Monika Carless | Jul 16, 2019 | Musings

*The partial lunar eclipse, the last lunar eclipse of 2019, will be visible from Australia, Africa, South America, most of Europe, and Asia, and the very eastern and southern parts of North America on July 16 -17, 2019. We are on a constant journey of falling apart...

2 Dark Moons, 2 Eclipses, Sun in Leo Plus “You Know Who” in Retrograde.

by Monika Carless | Jun 30, 2019 | Musings

Whenโ€™s the new moon? Thereโ€™s an eclipse? What sun sign are we in? Is it Mercury retrograde again? These are the questions I receive daily from my tribe. Itโ€™s so much easier to follow the natural cycles of the cosmos when we donโ€™t have to search for each bit of...

Here, there, everywhere. The amount of spaces push Here, there, everywhere.
The amount of spaces pushed on creators by tech is astounding.
It's easy to feel that we need to show up everywhere to be of service and to build community.
This is fundamentally destructive to our sense of calm and grounded presence.

TikTok 
Instagram 
Facebook 
Threads
X
Substack
and so on.

There is a distinct pull to having to show up or else. Each platform promises success if only we try harder.

It feels like medieval rack torture, stretching ourselves beyond human capacity.

We can choose.
Which space fulfills your creative impulse?
Where do you feel at home?
Can most of your work be in your newsletter, in circles, in creative offers that nourish you and your community?

First of all, I'm ok. This is manageable. Please d First of all, I'm ok. This is manageable. Please don't worry, but I'll take all your love, virtual hugs, positive support and spells! 

I've not found all my resources yet or found a way through this but I am well supported through family, friends, wider community, and what I know about the body,  nutrition and health.
I have a  incredible naturopath.

I have probably been experiencing this for over a year with no usual symptoms that others feel. I'll write more about what it is when I'm ready. 

Solstice has been revelatory in the kindest way possible. 
I have had to surrender to not being as 'productive' as I'm addicted to. 
I'm frustrated because I had a timeline for this year, and a voice in my head is saying that I'll miss my opportunity with the publisher I'm creating for if I donโ€™t stick to my timeline. I know that that's not truth.

I haven't been working much... another thing I have catastrophized.

These are all normal reactions.
There is so much good in my life right now.
I'm going to carry both 'good and challenging' together, because that's life... and I know deep down how normal it is to experience both.

Solstice brought a threshold. I'm stepping over, in and through.

Merry Solstice! Here in the Northern Hemisphere, Merry Solstice! 

Here in the Northern Hemisphere, life is at it's zenith. The sun has kissed the fields, growth is abundant, vibrant, in its fullness. 

The light has grown day by day since Winter Solstice. We have dreamed of warmth, unfolded, opened, been fed by the sun through our eyes, skin and mouths.

Our animal bodies have softened, no longer bracing against the cool winds of spring. 

Midsummer for my Slavic ancestors was a day of bonfires, dance, drumming, merriment, love-making and feasting, the first faint hum of early harvest days to come, soft on the air.

The wheel turns, and once again we begin the slow journey toward the dark. Do you feel the subtle shift in the ancient knowing  of your bones? 

Blessings upon you, dear traveller of time.

Mid-Summer Goddess,
Our prayers for all Women

Go out at Summer Solstice 

For their protection
Their safety
Their sovereignty
Their freedom 

And so it is
Dark moon is a perfect time to set down some thing Dark moon is a perfect time to set down some things with finality. 
Burn the bridge.
Resist sifting through the ashes.
It is done. 

Blessed Moon, Witches!

This path of connecting with your Inner Wise Woman This path of connecting with your Inner Wise Woman isn't something secret that only certain folks know. It actually is instinctual. You already know that emptying, place and re-wilding are strong touchpoints on the journey.

Like rubbing ancient stones, walking a labyrinth or participating in rituals, the magic of the Wise Woman is revealed through presence, groundedness and the ability to listen deeply.
