Full Moon in Scorpio : The White Flames of Purification

We’re now finding ourselves in the eye of the storm. Such is the flux around us; scarcely can we see next steps, much less feel affirmed in our direction. While it seems we’re surrounded by a swirling unknown, it’s actually unsettled clarity thundering in. The white noise is the sound of our faith not yet quieted.

As I sit in my own muck and mire, desiring to be present as the storm heaves, I’m brought the vision of Sekhmet, Egyptian lion-headed goddess of all that’s holy. In her pure white form, she’s the light that casts no shadow, and it’s her whom I invoke for safe passage.

Our soul’s purity is being polished to reveal our diamond heart. Our only option is to surrender, to not be consumed nor destroyed by the fire. Learn to contain the fires of transformation and invite it into the spaces to which you’re ignorant within yourself. Stand and allow yourself to be purified, liquefied, and reborn.

The sun is making its way from fiery Aries into grounded Taurus, acting as the young, impetuous, raging bull not yet comforted. Add to that Mars Retrograde (yawn, it must be time for another nap) and a Full Moon in Scorpio. This cosmic stew leaves us feeling like there's nowhere to hide.

The best way to ride the waves of Scorpio's tumultuous waters is with faith. Knowing there’s a deep driving force of perfect purpose which we cannot yet comprehend.

Purification rituals of any sort will also be supported. Release what no longer serves you, fess up in the places you've been less-than-honorable, and be a pure light of your own truth. Anything clouding that truth and shading your integrity will certainly be triggered. Embrace it, honor it, and thank if for bringing you into greater alignment.

Burn a white candle, take a spiritual bath, smudge your space, stand under that bawdy moon, and thank her for illuminating every dark crevice in your being. This will certainly not be a moon to forget!

The Deaths we Live, the eve of the Blood Moon

We all seem to collectively hold our breath when we speak about death... as if not to offend or attract it.  I find this taboo bizarre and have spoken much about shifting our perception.

What we don't always acknowledge are the little deaths, the deaths we live everyday.  Not just in the loss of a family member, but the loss of a job, a relationship, a phase of life, outgrowing of friends and so on.  

If we could remember these too are deaths, change of energy from one form to another, we might embrace more ways to normalize the Big One.

Every transition is a death of something.  Every sickness is our body killing off something.  These are not morbid thoughts, simply other ways we can embrace this weird energy transference that we put so much fear and so little actual energy in.  

As the Blood Moon is upon us, it a time to release big old energies that may be clogging our energetic channels.  This specific Moon also brings a total Eclipse in Aries & Libra.... holding both Sacred Masculine & Feminine Divine energies of transformation.  Astrologer Divine Harmony suggests this Moon is

"bringing a huge focus to the endings, changes, transformations, death and rebirth experiences playing out in the collective masculine/feminine dynamic and in relationships of all kinds."

Being in Mercury Retrograde, this is not a time to react, nor to move, but instead to step back and go within to see what we can do (and who can be) differently.  Much will be stirred up within you and rather than resisting or even stuffing what fires are lit inside you, choose how to direct these flames to burn up what isn't working.  

I always welcome some intensity in my healing and this Blood Moon feels just the potent mix for some focused and powerful healing.

We offer our Sacred Circle on full moon Sundays for both local and long distance participation.  If we can support you in harnessing these masterful teaching forces, raising your vibration or shucking off the next layer, please join us!
