Meditations on Power XXVIII
🌕
Moon phase: Waxing gibbous
Illumination: 99%
Constellation: Libra
Rulership: Venus, currently in Pisces, the place of ultimate feeling
🌕
I woke to news of an earthquake in Hualien, where the rose stone is mined. It was a big quake, reaching Taipei and eastern shores. I immediately contacted I. She regularly runs tours in Taroko and the quake was in the middle of the day when there tend to be a lot of people...I read of landslides in the park and wondered much rose stone had been dislodged.
🌕
It was a reminder - in case we need more of them - that the only constant in life is change. This was the central topic of the impromptu call with my mama shortly after. Not sure Mama has always had a good read on me but these days she does.
🌕
The strength of the female energy in my sphere is at epic levels. My psychic group of women friends are a source of comic relief, moral support and deep shared insights. At times it feels like we’re walking the same path together. Of course, in many ways we are. I thank Goddess for them. We can run this world.
🌕
It’s not just the fierce women though. I went to see Hilma af Klint with J and M. I’m not posting photos of the exhibit because, as S (one of my Strong cohort) pointed out, it’s weird and superficial when work like this (deep and profound) becomes trendy for a moment. HaK’s work in particular is too potent for that. By the end, she was tapping into the field of unified consciousness. M went exploring by themselves but J and I moved through the exhibit as dance partners. I was grateful for his presence, for his attentiveness to what I was noticing and feeling and experiencing. His questions for both himself and I were on point. I commented after that I was experiencing psychic overload. I have certainly been having visions and whatever messages I felt the work had for me have been arriving with much speed.
🌕
These times - like my women friends - are strong and asking of us a certain kind of response. A trust, a caretaking, an attending to and an unequivocal expansion.
🌕
Enjoy this full Moon and if you are so moved, join me at @abhayayoga tomorrow pm. Details in story.

Meditations on Power XXVII
❤️
Moon phase: Waxing gibbous
Illumination: 79%
Constellation: Virgo - The Virgin
Rulership: Mercury, currently in Pisces, the location of ultimate feeling
❤️
Whatever we create is as impermanent and fragile as our corporeal bodies. Too easily we forget that these moments are only here now.
❤️
In these days of waxing Moon, we rejoice in what we have, we attend to and be present for it all.
❤️
One love

Meditations on Power XXVI
🌙
Moon phase: Waxing crescent
Illumination: 36%
Constellation: Cancer, right on my IC/Nadir
Rulership: Moon
🌙
Home + home + super dreamy
🌙
I remain in awe of this idea that when the student is ready, the teacher appears.
🌙
It used to be that most of my closest friends were dudes. That changed when we all partnered up (separately I mean) but also when Harold passed on. Now my circle is, if not female, then decidedly feminine. I’ve enjoyed so many aha moments of late courtesy of seemingly-casual conversations with these dear people. And for that I’m forever grateful. 🌙
It’s much like the subtle energy of flowers.

Meditations on Power XXV
🔥
Moon phase: New
Illumination: 0%
Constellation: Aries - on my Asc/Merc/Venus
Rulership: Mars, currently transiting Taurus
🔥
When you don’t follow your nature there is a hole in the universe where you were supposed to be.

We’re still in dark Moon 🌚 until Luna shows her face again early next week. We’re offered time and space to do what I live for: make friends with interiority, be still, be quiet. I’m writing this while lying supine on the daybed, fighting off the snoozes.

In TCM, Jing refers to kidney essence. The kidneys are ruled by Libra, Aries’ “other” side. I’ve had persistent kidney deficiency for some years now. The key is balancing my yang with more yin which has involved a fair bit of intention and awareness. Some say, once you lose jing, your body dies. Others say there are ways to replenish jing. I am exploring this.

I started this piece last night using a paint set that dear @suzieguillette gifted me for my birthday and during a WhatsApp convo about anger with my dear @astrologiamariaeunicesousa... I have been making these watercolor paintings for a while now, as a device to clear and center my mind. It’s both a form of meditation and one of catharsis. This morning my dreams were filled with steamy images.
🔥
The quartz is from dear @laksmiscalise also a birthday gift. These ladies read my mind...There’s a door in this crystal through which I can step into other worlds. I’m using it to scry. It has been encouraging me to pace myself.
🔥
J shared that his word for 2019 was unknown. I think mine might be slow!

Meditations on Power XXIV
💎
Moon phase: Waning crescent
Illumination: 8%
Constellation: Pisces
Rulership: Neptune, in an exact conjunction with Mercury
💎
It was Mother’s Day yesterday in the UK. Today I read this quote, attributed to the late great Maya Angelou:
To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow.
💎
It is through my mother and her lineage that I have learned the power of the feminine. Not to be confused with a weak or submissive power or one lacking in depth but rather one that offers redemption and deep interconnection.
💎
None of us has it perfect in the parent department. Indeed many carry deep scars. Expiating them becomes the soul work of this life. But daily I find reason to be profoundly grateful to have incarnated as this huge spirit’s female child. I can only hope to honor well the ground she has laid for us.
