First Quarter Moon Phase: branch out
Moon in Capricorn/Aquarius
Ruling Mahavidya: Kamala (Goddess of the Lotus
Blossom)
Skill: integrate the aspects of yourself that are revealed
Negative Imprint: causing damage, forcing,
unsupportive and unsupported, feeling abandoned or lost, mood swings, feeling
unable to cope, dividing and conquering
Positive Imprint: repairing damage, transcending
conditions, improvisation, reflections, facing truth through the fall of
illusions, people of like mind and mission coming together
If the energy of this lunar month
is like being on a sight-seeing bus filled with bold tourists going where no
one has gone before, today the bus stops for gas and repairs.
An opportunity to explore presents
itself.
In keeping with the
energy of "pausing" and taking a departure, let me tell you a
story of the day instead of giving a report.
Many of us on the bus wish the
driver would've stopped in a better part of town, so to speak.
Everything looks
ominous.
Symbols of death abound.
Do the people that inhabit this
place worship death?
Shadows seem to stalk us, only to
flee when we catch a moment's glimpse of them.
The light of the Full Moon casts
their reflection off of a calm river.
One of us notices a large canoe
along the bank of the river.
It is big enough for all who decide
to take a side trip, but who will go?
What possible type of phantoms
could lie deeper in this realm?
Another of us thinks to check the
map.
It indicates that a place called
Shadow Springs is a short distance by water.
The map says it is a hot spring.
Can we trust it?
Some of us decide to find
out.
Grabbing a few torches,
we ease into the canoe, setting out in the direction of these Shadow
Springs.
We soon discover the map did not
tell us we would be paddling through caves.
Because we are bold, we continue
on, not looking back, trusting our ability to take care of ourselves no matter
what we encounter.
A strange thing happens when the
firelight of our torches reflects off the cave walls.
Some of us see ourselves and our
fears reflected.
Monsters of our own making thrash
about and we are captivated by the scene.
We see what holds us back.
We see what we do not want to face.
Just when our fears seem like they
will overtake us, a warmth fills the air and our melts away the shadows of
Shadow Springs.
It is indeed a hot spring - a place
where the hearth of the Goddess heals our souls.
We all jump in, immersing ourselves
with Oneness, with all the lost parts of us that linger in shadow.
They are not phantoms; they are
lost parts of our own power.
We take them back with us,
integrated and back home inside of us where they belong.
In case the message gets lost in
translation: It's a Black Moon day, one of the last during the Black
Moon's jaunt through Leo, and one of the last of the rebirth stages that those
with the Black Moon or Sun in Aquarius or Leo.
The energy brings out people's core
fears.
People project those fears onto
others.
Analyze what people are telling you
about yourself from this perspective.
They are probably talking about
themselves but don't know it.
We project what we cannot face
about ourselves.
Black Moon days try to trick us
into feeling separated from Spirit by giving us illusions of fear.
New readers can look
up their own Black Moon and the core fear identified by it in the Appendix
of my book on the Black Moon - free on the Books tab at www.oraclereport.com.
This is information all wise owls
need to know about themselves.
Know yourself, know the universe.
Face what you see about yourself
today - the good and the not-yet-so-good.
Remember that the not so
good is based in an illusion of fear - of a false belief in separation from
Spirit.
Let the gentle warmth of the
Goddess bring you back to where you need to be.
