Celestial Beckoning
Feeling myself transform, aligned with world cycles
Out of sync with being out of sync
Seeking the light in between wisps of dark
Dissolution of identity, of wants and needs
New threads to be woven
New stories to be told
Old stories evaporate
Forget what needs to be forgotten
Reclaim what needs to be illuminated
Back it comes into the forefront of collective consciousness
We are feeling each other's feelings but there's no time for overwhelm
Instead traverse the path through all perils and challenges
Life will swallow you whole unless you meet it directly
Manifesting is a requirement of existing, it happens with your consent
but not necessarily your conscious acknowledgment
For you are a creator, and we participate one way or another
The sounding call inside you is a sign to pick up the baton of purpose
and contribute to how this story of Life plays out for not just you, but everyone
You are a piece of the whole and affect all things. Awaken to reality and face the truth.
It only takes intent to be in the flow with all humanity, to know you are doing the right thing
Riches come in many forms, to be poor in love is the saddest place of all
Cultivate love in work, art, movement, pleasure, home, relationship
Honor and respect the love everyone has in their hearts
For someone
Even if you don't know them
We are all the same even when we're different
Transformation is upon us
Shedding the old skins of a paradigm that is breaking wide open
* a poem by me, in honor of the major cosmic happenings taking place*
**At the end of this newsletter I have provided a guided meditation for aligning with the energies present upon this Scorpio Full Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse.
How have you been at manifesting lately? Are you feeling the need to refine and rework things? Are you feeling empowered or do you need a boost to get motivated? Timing couldn’t be more relevant right now. If you’re ready to do things differently, the cosmos are providing the ingredients to manifest! Release the need to control and instead, surrender to the process of uncertainty. It is in the uncertainty that you can find clarity into your desires and your purpose. Release your expectations if you want to cross into the portal of self discovery.
In Astrology, we refer to eclipses as the Head of the Dragon and Tail of the Dragon due to the fact that the Lunar Nodes are opposite each other and track the path of the eclipses. (Lunar Nodes are mathematical points in the sky that follow an invisible path where the Sun and Moon intersect or as Wiki says, two points where the Moon’s orbital path crosses the ecliptic). We have a North Node and South Node that carry the Lunation (moon cycle) from Solar to Lunar eclipse (hence why we call it Eclipse Season). It began on April 20th with the Total Solar Eclipse and New Moon in Aries and is finishing with today’s Partial Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon in Scorpio.
Currently the North Node (head of the dragon) is in Taurus, which means the South Node (tail of the dragon) is in Scorpio. Today we jump that Tail of the Dragon! We are also still in the middle of Mercury Retrograde in Taurus (ends May 16) which means reflection on what is important to your home, health, body, what brings you pleasure, Nature, Spirituality and Enlightenment is the assignment for this time period.
Today is also called the Wesak or Vesak, the holiest of days in Buddhism. This is the day that the Buddha was said to have attained enlightenment, as well as his birthday and the day of his death. Buddha was a Taurus Sun and Scorpio Moon. This Full Moon in May in the East is celebrated every year as an intense day of meditation and reflection. All prayers and intentions are amped up and much more powerful today. We have heightened access to our Higher Self and Mother Nature.
It is advised to meditate on your own sources of suffering and find a solution or remedy to your pain. This eclipse will magnify and speed up the events and processes around you.
Continue to go slow, be methodical and mindful in your dealings. Take a moment today to be silent, give thanks and send Love to all of Humanity. It will be felt in the collective. The Beings of Light who help us along on this Earth are awaiting your prayers and requests to Raise the Vibration of all Humanity.
The Universe always has a say. We are not here alone and we did not come here unwittingly. We have cosmic and spiritual help whether we know it or not, and sometimes it’s best to sit back and listen to the lessons. Trust that we have guides, angels and mystics helping the collective at all times.
Now is a great time to take stock in where you are, what you’d like to change, and what you have to be grateful for in this life. Practice silence over talking today, peace over strife. Expansion over contraction. Connect with Source, God, Universe today. It’s a powerful, powerful time - use it wisely.
Guided meditation for Full Moon + Partial Eclipse in Scorpio
Blessing and Meditation for the intention setting for the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse - Sun in Taurus, Moon in Scorpio - May 5. The eclipse can be felt for weeks and months afterward so if you don’t do this on May 5, you have time to solidify your intentions over the next week.
Get comfortable and make sure you won’t be interrupted by your phone, pets or other people/children in the house. Sit in a chair on a couch, in a seated position with feet touching the floor. This position allows for the flow of Source Light to come straight down the middle pillar of your chakras aligned in the center of the body.
Breathe deeply in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Take three deep breaths (in nose/out mouth) but with the tip of our tongue touching the roof of your mouth, just behind your front teeth. Take 3 breaths this way then continue breathing regularly, in through nose and out through mouth.
Picture a bright, white light from above surging into the top of your head and down through your body, one chakra at a time, lighting it up and opening it. Begin at the top of the head — the violet crown chakra, the indigo third eye, the blue throat chakra, the green heart chakra, the yellow solar plexus chakra, the orange Hara/Sacral chakra, and red root chakra — and now visualize it going past your root chakra, shooting down directly into the ground to the core of the Earth.
This white column of light is shining from above, through the center of your body and deep into the ground. Light shooting out the top of your head and below into the ground.
See this column of light expand until it is around your whole body now, a glowing outline of your body. Now let it expand further until it is in a huge orb (100’) around you and you are floating in the middle of it. This is your aura. Let this light reinforce this orb, your aura, and feel it getting stronger and brighter.
Hold yourself inside this bright orb for a bit and breathe normally.
Now see a blurry thing ahead of you. Imagine this is a token or message from your Higher Self. Let it stay blurry and as you look at it watch it get clearer and clearer. What has your Higher Self shown you? Is it something you recognize? What kind of meaning does it have for you?
Keep your eyes closed. Thank your Higher Self by bowing your head and putting hands in prayer with gratitude. Remember your item or message from your Higher Self and visualize holding it your hands.
Watch the light of the orb retract back into a column of light in the center of your body from above into the ground below, with your body still outlined in light and feeling energized and charged from this interaction.
Continue breathing deeply as you slowly open your eyes.
Grab your journal or a piece of paper and write out what was revealed to you in this mediation from your Higher Self. Recall anything you’d like from the meditation.
Now write out a wish or intention that aligns with the gift or message given to you in the meditation.
How will you take the energy of these Celestial Beckonings with your internal message into your life? Do you see where adjustments can be made or actions can be taken? Is there something you really want to do that you haven’t yet? What do you need to say “yes” to right now and “no” to right now?
Write it all out and either keep it to refer to it at a later date, or perform a burning ritual with a safe container. Burn the paper safely, scatter or bury the ashes, and send your prayer into the Universe!
Cosmic Blessings to All!
