Continued from page 13 - Moon of Dark Shadows If you’ve been repeatedly dealing with an issue, now is the time to look at it from a completely new perspective and come up with a solution that, to others, appears to be outside the box. Things may be out of phase, but if you’re willing to keep going, you’ll be rewarded for the effort. And because this moon rises in Pisces, there are a lot of deep, dark waters churning about. Just like the fire walkers of India, the true student who is interested in purging these past life wounds must make their way through the treacherous and churning waters to emerge healed and re-birthed. The waters swirl like angry vortices, the individual drops coalescing into dancing maelstroms of creation energy. This energy, on its own, is not enough to do anything more than wet everything around it. Like the waters, let your thoughts swirl unrestricted. It’s important to use this moon cycle to think outside the box open up to energies that at first glance don’t seem that remarkable. The key principles to remember this month are steadfastness and determination. You may not move through the deep water quickly and you might find yourself a bit banged up as you go about it. Don’t give up. It may be difficutl to navigate the churning, dark spaces, but growth requires us to meet with and integrate the darkness as well as the light. My best advisce, if you keep being tossed aside by the spining underwater vortex, come to the surface and breathe. It’s okay to stop what you’re doing and regroup. You will never be penalized for taking time out to examine alternatives. If you keep at it, you will persevere. There are many entrances to the lower and upper realms and the doorways appear in places which do not seem to make sense in the traditional manner of thinking. Stepping back allows for moments of clarity so new information can be processed. Force will not bring you the answer and will not provide you the way to navigate through the dark water. Only when you realize that the more you work to force things to happen, the more resistant the doorway between realms are. If it is in your nature to struggle, then you will be fighting for every breath and this cycle will find you engaged in a battle of survival as you are plunged deeper and deeper into inky blackness. However, if you surrender to the principle of highest and best, the waters will surround you in a protective cocoon, shepherding you through the depths to emerge victorious on the other side. Once you realize brute strength will not work, your path will be easier. Easier still will be when you finally surrender control. Only then will you be allowed passage. Breathe and center your thoughts. Affirm your intention to pass peacefully between realms. Again, it’s a matter of taking in enough air for a deep dive and allowing yourself to become one with the invisible tunnel. If given permission to pass, you will seamlessly pierce the veil between realities. Stay within the hollow tunnel as it undulates and moves you through space and time, to emerge on the other end – refreshed, revived and purified. Those who have been working with Spirit and the universal connectedness, human light bodies are becoming increasingly sensitive to the energies which are bombarding the planet. In order to become consciously aligned and able to work through the frequent instabilities evidenced through vibrational shifts, it is a choice that definitely has to be made. This moon cycle is asking you to stand in your strength. To call upon the beneficial and beneficent entities and energies to help you effortlessly move through the shimmering darkness and waves of illusion. Having worked diligently to build up spiritual resources, this is the appropriate time to fully embrace them. Accept and allow this healing to occur. Let the darkness pour out of you and be swept away by the headwaters as they rush over your physical body. This healing is preparing the physical and emotional bodies for the work of the next six months. Like being born again, the energies of this cycle are about bringing you to a new state of awareness. This is not a time for fear and disconnectedness. Each person who has opened up to the new energies is being given the opportunity to accept or deny this special blessing. Many are called, but like most offerings, few will answer; fewer still will enter the deep water. Definitely the time to revel in unorthodoxy. If you’ve always been on the outside looking in, this month it may actually help you. You will work for any gains, but in the end, it will be an well earned investment.
