Centre ≈ Cleanse ≈ Create

Welcome

I acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land, the Widjabul Peoples of the Bundjalung Nation. I wish to emphasise the understanding of a sacred interconnectedness amongst all living organisms, which forms the basis of Indigenous spirituality and is embodied within the sacred geometric symbol, the Flower of Life.

I acknowledge my ancestors & Elders past and present, my Mother, Father, Sisters & Brother and my Universal family; you my brothers & sisters, the Earth, animals, sea, sky, moon, stars, sun - within me is a Greater Power & I see that Greater Power within each of you.

Mayan Moon 5: Overtone Moon: 15/11-12/12

Moon of Peacock - empowerment, command, radiant

Today (Sunday 15/11) marks the beginning of Moon 5 on the Mayan 13-Moon Calender. The main message here is:

Embrace & Harness Your Inner Power

This Moon also brings a strong characteristic of beauty - seeing beauty, acknowledging beauty and beautifying (yourself, garden or your space perhaps). The Peacock also reminds us of our psychic abilities (yes, we all have them), as the eyes depicted in the Peacock's tail-feathers represent (psychically) being able to 'see' all - so be very aware of; ideas, internal urges, gut feelings, visions, repetitive themes, symbols etc always, but especially during this Moon....let's talk a little more about the Mayan Calender, here's a few basics to get us started:

• The TZOLKIN is the oldest of the Mayan Calenders and lasts 260 days. This Calender neatly divides into 5 Castles.  
• Each CASTLE lasts 52 days and contains 4 Wavespells. 
• WAVESPELLS are themed, 13-day creative cycles which assist us to grow and evolve. Within the 260 days in the Tzolkin are 56 Portal days. 
• On PORTAL DAYS expect heightened energies, access to amplified awareness & sensory experience, greater opportunity for information exchange and multi-dimensional insights. 

Use Portal Days to activate dormant potential & evolutionary transformation. Each Castle has its' own character, like a season...

So let's apply that now to the current happenings in the;

 BLUE WESTERN CASTLE OF BURNING: 4/11-25/12

This is the middle of 5 Castles in the Tzolkin: it includes 4 Wavespells which are very intense. The following information covers the themes within this Castle that will take us to Christmas Day.

1. Red Serpent Wavespell 4/11-16/11: This 'full-on' Wavespell finishes tomorrow (Monday 16 Nov). It is 1 of only 2 Wavespells in the entire Tzolkin that has 10 CONSECUTIVE PORTAL DAYS - so whose had a tense last 13 days then?? The theme for this Wavespell is instincts, kundalini (creative, sexual energy) & lifeforce. Intense life changes can occur during this period, a shedding of old skin, to emerge renewed and healed. A time to balance your base chakra - connection to the Earth.

2. White Mirror Wavespell 17/11-29/11: This begins on Tuesday, coinciding with the Scorpio New Moon. The theme? It is time for 13-days of TRUTH....there is no escaping the TRUTH.

3. Blue Monkey Wavespell 30/11-12/12: 13-days of MAGIC...but watch out because the monkey is full of tricks and illusion...be wise and experience the MAGIC

4. Yellow Seed Wavespell 13/12-25/12: Includes the 2nd, 10 CONSECUTIVE PORTAL DAY column - this one is predicted to be more fun than the first. Seeds you planted earlier can be harvested now, you shall reap what you have sown

ENTER THIS CASTLE CONSCIOUSLY & WORK WITH THE ENERGIES TO ACHIEVE TRULY AMAZING THINGS....No-one will have a boring 52 days!
 

So now to the New Moon this Tuesday....

The New Moon, the beginning of the lunar cycle, is a time to plant seeds of positive and uplifting new beginnings. I suggest creating a specific new intention for personal inner transformation - commit to a new beginning in an area of your life that requires change. Remember it takes time for seeds to grow deep and elaborate root systems and they need to be nurtured and nourished to grow.

Try quiet & deep introspection and examination of your deepest motives and desires WITHOUT analysing, rationalising, objectifying....what is your truth at this time? What is your soul asking you to do? Release old stagnant programs/patterns that no longer serve you...this is an especially powerful New Moon....the Mother of all Dark Moons....

The Moon is in Scorpio, whilst the Sun is in Taurus...this provides us with the following topics/themes....work on these areas of your life to release, improve, grow.

 Scorpio: deep & powerful water sign. Sign of death that births the new - you can seek deep soul healing with this Moon, which may include areas of; sexual, emotional, physical body and money. Open your heart to change and let the Universe do the rest. Like the Peacock, Scorpio asks us to empower ourselves, so identify areas/situations/people, where you feel powerless and act to restore your feeling of inner power. There is lots of tension with this Moon, which creates internal pressure, release what doesn't serve you....this may be an alert for some to travel in new friendship circles. Like the White Mirror Wavespell, Scorpio calls for true and authentic expression of feelings - tell your story, honour and acknowledge what you've been through and claim it as part of who you are...maintaining denial on any level will be especially difficult during this Moon/Wavespell...Finally, Scorpio reminds us that what we cling tightly to, is often the very thing we need to let go of...in these significant releases, large stores of energy are often restored...I know it feels risky, however the rewards are immeasurable.

Taurus: grounding, practical, material Earth sign. Offers us the ability to create abundance and substance from natural resources and talents. Also sensual, beauty of nature, wealth, money, financial security, respecting your physical body and senses. So great time to save money, start a budget/financial plan to get back on track or make a sound investment.

Taurus rules the throat chakra - speak the TRUTH of your heartfelt feelings and emotions. Take positive action in this area and witness key changes.

May the Long Time Sun Shine Upon You

God's Healing Light Surround You

And the Love Within You Guide Your Way

Full Moon 05.15 AEST Nov 3 2009

Centre ≈Cleanse ≈Create

Welcome 

I acknowledge the traditional custodians of this sacred land, the Widjabul Peoples of the Bundjalung Nation. I express my gratitude and respect for their continued care and custodianship of the land and open myself to guidance regarding how my relationship with this land can serve the higher good of all.

I acknowledge; Grandmother Moon who governs our intuition and the continuous cycle of birth and death inherent within all cellular beings; the ancient Mayan Peoples whose knowledge of nature & the cosmos has been scientifically affirmed and the Flower of Life (pictured below), a sacred geometric symbol embodying the Law of Nature. 

The Law of Nature recognises the intrinsic relationship between all molecular organisms. Within this web of interconnectedness, personal and collective wellbeing is maintained through a healthy, balanced cycle of giving and receiving. 

Is your relationship with the Earth, your lover, your friend, your work, your children and most of all YOURSELF currently experiencing a quality and balance of giving & receiving?

Within the lunar cycle, the Full Moon can offer us; illumination, revelation & inspiration - similar to a 'light bulb' moment. If however, there is a large incongruence between your soul's path and your current reality, the Full Moon can be an uncomfortable experience - with internal conflict (related to this incongruence) felt on; spiritual, emotional, mental and physical levels. This Tuesday's Full Moon is known as the Mourning Moon; a time to mourn your sadness: the death of the old you. But what does this really mean and how can you do this?

 By ceasing to self-medicate and beginning to acknowledge what we truly feel, we can unlock all that remains hidden in our hearts. Try writing your thoughts and feelings down everyday for the next little while, this process helps to activate your healing. We are continually experiencing loss including; loss of love relationships and perhaps joint future plans, loss of innocence and 'safe' vulnerability through domestic violence, sexual assault, terrorism and other fear-based ideals, loss of family members or friends through death, conflict, or perhaps you've drifted apart, loss of much loved animal friends & pets, loss of freedom of childhood, loss of levels of autonomy through marriage, parenthood, caring for loved ones - and many more...

it is important to know that we must grieve our losses

In Western society, grieving is the process of loss that doesn't always occur and this affects our wellbeing. We carry these losses, they become part of us influencing and even creating future losses, further declining our spiritual, emotional, mental and physical wellbeing - reducing our ability to maintain healthy and balanced relationships within the living Universe. This Full Moon is the time to tap into old hurts from your own losses and to allow the grieving to occur without judgement.

When we talk about intellect, we usually think of the brain and it's amazing capacity to; receive, process, store and retreive information. At this time however, we are asked to recognise the intellect of the heart and to let that guide us. Eternity exists within the spirit, not the body or mind and therefore the spirit holds a much wider and vast bank of knowledge and wisdom. 

Remember, rest your mind let your heart seek and find. 

This means NOT rationalising, analysing or semanticising...

 Just feeling...find your feelings...name your feelings...feel your feelings...

Astrologically, a number of wonderful movements have, or are about to take place. The first positively relates to our wealth, expansion and growth. Therefore look for a resolution for difficult financial matters and expect more opportunities to present; including new jobs, saving money and beginning new projects. Generally all shall feel more prosperous. You are also asked to evaluate your relationship with money and to consider how this relationship is influenced by the media and other sources of negative and fearful 'global money crisis' talk. Move past fear and if money is a constant source of worry and difficulty; re-focus, re-prioritise and begin to see money with new eyes: remember money takes on the energy YOU attach to it.

The next astrological movement creates a space where many rifts are healed. Some will burn a bridge and choose to leave a broken relationship behind. This shift catalyses all the pain and difficulty you've been negotiating over the last few months, gathers all the emotion and pushes it to the surface

Act to release and transform this emotion...forgiveness is key

The third cosmic movement will take place on Wednesday 4th November, where we will feel that all flows much more easily. It will be easier to express feelings to your loved ones or a prospective lover. Here we are supported to create our dreams by gaining the sight to see through illusions.

 
From the perspective of the Mayan Lunar Calender, we are now in: 

Moon Four (Oct 18-Nov 14): Self-existing Moon: Moon of the Owl

So what is this Moon about and what message does the Owl have for us, as our totem for the month? The Owl is an ancient symbol that goes back over 60 million years, it is found on all continents and thus has adapted to every climate. Regarded highly for its wisdom and ability to see in the dark, the Owl assists us to see the truth that is sometimes hidden. This energy is very apt for the Mourning Moon, as we delve deep into our hearts to unlock what is hidden.

Owls are powerful and strong and remind us that true power is knowing when to use strength and when to use a more gentle approach and also share the importance of timing - knowing when to take action and when to rest.

The Owl advises to let your intuition guide you, wisdom comes from within - an inner knowing that cannot be gained from books or academic pursuit. Do not confuse intelligence with wisdom.

As with the Mourning Moon, the Owl says your rational brain has its uses, but the intuitive one will lead you to be wise like the Owl. Acknowledge and consult your heart's intellect.

May the Long Time Sun Shine Upon You

Thank you.
