Ram Springs Forth An Equinox, Eclipses Of Rising Light & A Rebirth of Novel Seasonal Vibrations

Photo by Frank Stu00fcbery on Pexels.com

Spring is officially upon us on March 20, where the light of

yang’s masculinity and the dark of yin’s femininity are in equal alignment right Tao.

An Aries New Moon reflects the new energies of a new year in the Zodiac’s rising tide.

Meditation on Ram will allow you to stand in your personal authority that is your Sun.

It is your personal power that is your Solar Plexus Chakra.

We all have these energies within our Being.

It is willfully the part of us that says, I Am!

But those with this birth sign know this assertive dimension better than anyone.

It’s like Ram is a built in animal spirit guide or

totem that makes for an organic everyday positive self talk mantra.

When visited by the downstairs brain of the

chattering monkey mind, anxiety, reptilian brain or

nervous woodland creature energy . . .

Just picture a ram to take the mountain by the horns,

if you’ll pardon the pun.

From there, you can move into the summit of the upstairs brain of your upper Chakras

to balance the rearview mirror of your old self with your budding New Self.

But not without securing your footing to dig into the earth.

We are mulching the old ways of our old selves by balancing our lower Chakras as well.

This is the interplay of duality.

Fear not the intensities of the Eclipse Season, where shakeups are natural and inevitable.

Feel the fire of the Sun co-mingling with the water of the Moon,

especially during late April through early May.

The dog eat dog ways of the old world are fading further into the rearview mirror,

which is particularly scary for those of us more attached to the devil we know.

Transitions from developmental stages of

childhood, adolescence, adulthood, death and rebirth

are akin to a snake shedding its old skin.

The rebirthing we are all going through is not without

grieving the transition, just as we do with the changing of the seasons.

It is wise to avoid getting into power struggles with yourself and others.

Keep in mind that the energy of Ram embodies the fire element which reflects a strong will.

Watch out for others that are like this, as co-mingling with them can lend itself to butting heads.

Remember to breathe and drink in the power of water to cool things down if necessary.

Meditation on the water element will help you soften your will and go with the flow,

even when your eyes are on a target and you feel called toward action and manifestation.

Even doers need rest and rejuvenation.

Take care of yourselves everyone,

Ari

As A Full Worm Moon Hooks In Pisces, Budding Energies Spring Forth The Vernal Equinox

Intimacy is healthy & effective communication.

Being grounded in empathy supports soulful connections.

When we are compassionately in our hearts together we will dance with each other

in a way that sheds light on dark edges and calms power struggles.

Co-regulation is when mindful energies relax,

sensitize and harmonize with each other in their environment.

Psychic ability is a natural part of our human superpowers.

Some say that empathy is the highest form of psychic ability, like sonar with Whales.

Dive deep into Whale consciousness to connect with your empathic heartmind.

For Whales teach us how to tune in and hear each other from deeper places.

Meditation on Whale can awaken your soul purpose

so that you can self actualize with self love.

A Full Worm Moon will happen on March 7, 2023.

Spring may not officially be here yet,

but this moon reflects the old fashioned saying that the early bird gets the worm.

More Robins bobbing and singing are good reminders that a new season is on its way.

The ebb and flow of Pisces tides will indeed roll back, as Aries sun shines brightly on the horizon.

If the Fish know their elemental sea of consciousness,

then Aries captures the spirit of the I AM presence.

The gift of presence is the assertion of your unique diverse expression

that comes only from the light of your soul.

Trust in the power of your inner light beaming o’er treetops & throughout the cosmos.

The Ram’s fire vaporizes the Fishes waters,

in much the same way as water mystifies fire by cooling down its embers.

Internal chi builds momentum gradually, like the power of water.

But without heat turning up in dreams to fire up the pot,

there will be no manifestation determination.

Like the Yin and Yang, there can be no beginnings without endings;

No dark nights without sunlit days or action without non-action.

Equanimity is duality in flowing motion as well as in still waters.

On March 20, the Spring Equinox will reveal energetically balanced intersections between

male and female, light and dark & yin and yang.

And then, spirit will naturally become more outward,

upward and expansive in the Northern hemisphere;

while more inward, downward and contracting in the Southern hemisphere.

The fire of Eclipse Season in April and May will be felt with more heated intensity.

Take care of yourself everyone,

Ari

As A New Moon Springs In Pisces, Our Souls Travel Into Mystical Vibrations And Watery Realms

Photo by Kristen Bouse

A New Moon in Pisces will happen on February 20th . . .

Their energies will primarily be flowing with us till the Vernal Equinox on March 20th.

This date signals the first day of spring.

All new moons reflect new beginnings.

The undercurrents are becoming more active right Tao during the budding energies stirring.

Pisces swims on the tail end of the Zodiac, with fiery Aries against its back.

Per usual, Ram will be eager to hit the mark as the first sign upon Spring’s arrival.

Watery Pisces is a mutable sign and reflects the transition between seasons.

We are shifting from a wintry slumber to a spring awakening.

Mother Nature reflects endings and beginnings, death and rebirth.

They are fish in water and in their element

with the creative fluidity of formless awareness of form.

In T’ai Chi, we cultivate internal power gradually, by being like water.

Down the mountains, through valley, streams rivers and lakes . . .

They are all flowing into the bounty of receptive oceans where aquatic creatures swim.

In much the same way as mystical energy is associated with shorelines;

Pisces are dreamy soul travelers and natural meditators.

Shadow work is critical because this personality profile can especially

go into their own world, get lost in illusion and sink into alternate realities.

If those with these orientations don’t shine a mindful spotlight on their vessel,

they can get lost in escapism and inundated by the under toe of the path of least resistance.

When Einstein asserted that imagination is more important than knowledge,

he was blowing energetic bubbles from the Mirror of the Pisces Mind.

The light continues to rise until it is equal with the dark on the Spring Equinox.

Energetically, the onset of Aries is like the birth of a new year

because it carries the torch and blazes trails in the year ahead.

Aries vaporizes water in a way that can light a fire under our asses for manifesting our dreams.

And then the light rises till it peaks on the Summer Solstice on June 21st.

These energies, mixed with the Eclipse Season in April and May

will intensify our inner and outer worlds.

What transformation do you envision for yourself and for the Universe?

They key dynamic is to let go and follow the cyclical rhythms of Nature.

Take care of yourselves everyone,

Ari

The Imbolc, A Full Snow Moon And Groundhog’s Medicinal Guidance In Shadow Work: There’s Light At The End Of The Tunnel . . .

On February 2nd, it will be the Imbloc aka Groundhog Day.

Our ancestors honored the Imbolc because it was the approximate mid-point between the

Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox, or the first day of Spring.

And then a Full Snow Moon will occur on Sunday, February 5th.

Given that in certain areas, the heaviest snow usually falls during this month . . .

The origin of this Full Moon’s name derives from

our indigenous ancestors who experienced a deep blanket of snow.

Some tribes also referred to this Moon as the Full Hunger Moon,

because of the harsh weather conditions that made hunting very difficult,

and food supplies ran dry.

Meditation on the idea of practicing Mental Subtraction as a walking meditation

can help you see what life would be missing without you in it. It would be a dark void.

Your presence is a gift and a blessing that needs your inner light

to come out and shine on the world.

Energetically, Spring starts at this time, as the seeds underground start thinking about waking up.

Use the new year energies of the Winter slumber to meditate on

what you would like to see come out of hibernation and rebirth upon Spring’s arrival.

Looking back along the dirge, this writer has experienced many trails of tears . . .

One time, this came in the form of a past mental health walkabout to raise awareness

on the tragedy of suicide and its adverse affect on those of us

who have survived our loved ones who have died by suicide.

During the funeral procession,

I met a woman who was walking to support her friend’s son who ended his life abruptly.

Confused, she commented that all he left was a brief note

expressing only that he was curious about the other side.

Likewise, our relationships can change like the seasons.

As in entering or exiting a VIP entryway of secretive inner circles.

Meaningful connections can move in and out of the union privilege of our lives.

Because we are human, we develop attachments to these relationships.

Sometimes, a relationship becomes enmeshed, enabling, codependent, and even toxic.

But like an old hiking boot, the fit wears out is welcome and no longer serves the pairing.

This process is not without resistance and pulls at your heartstrings like an old Blues song.

Are you willing to go beyond your egocentric experiences with

anger, disappointments, resentments, expectations-

or even a sense of entitlement?

Meditation on the energy of Groundhog allows us to experience death without dying.

Groundhogs go into hibernation for a long time during the death of Winter.

They dig elaborate tunnels underground

and reflect the mantra that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

May Groundhog become a member of our spiritual Dream Team

and guide our spirits into soulful nighttime travels.

Paying attention to our dreams and how they connect to our waking reality

is empowering by awakening to the interplay between death and rebirth in everyday life.

We can do this while we are living out this lifetime

and stepping into the realm of Infinity while we are still breathing.

Take care of yourselves everyone,

Ari

A Full Wolf Moon & New Year Of The Rabbit

Photo by Steve on Pexels.com

The winds blew in Mercury in Retrograde into our inner skies

a few days after Christmas, as we say our goodbyes to 2022.

Consider this close encounter a vibrational landing & gift wrapped hallmark card

about shifting our mindful awareness from

left brain faculties into right brain pathways of thought.

Might as well have an open and passive attitude with any creative, zoning out tendencies

that are magnified by strange Twilight Zone perceptual realities.

Even though there could be big emotional tidings and ideas-

probably better not to act on them till more contemplative reflection

clears up around the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Rabbit on January 22nd.

What old parts of yourself are you ready to let go of to awaken your future self?

But before that, a Full Moon will happen on January 6th, 2023.

Who else feels tempted by fate more than usual during full moon cycles

or when Mercury’s in Retrograde?

This Full Moon goes by many names but it is known by our ancestry

as the Full Wolf Moon.

Traditional stories by the Indigenous people from the Dogon tribe in West Africa,

and ancient Egypt have reportedly revealed energetic connections to wolves,

as well as the star system called Sirius.

It’s no coincidence that dogs are still considered a best friend to humankind.

Many people today are waking up to their lineage connections or

soul energies incarnating here from planets other than earth.

This fits into the paradigm of past lives and reincarnation.

Waking up to our starseed orientations are part of the multidimensional nature

and an unfolding process of spiritual awakenings.

But remember that on some level,

we are all starseeds because we all have star dust living within our DNA.

Even Western Science affirms the theorized phenomenon of Genetic Memory,

where familial memories are passed down to us like baggage via encodings in our nucleic acid.

(Spiritual DNA is also important to us a spiritual beings having human experiences.)

Soul travel, lucid dreaming and meditation are all forms to play with during our interactions

and co-regulative connections with these energies that are wanting to communicate with us.

An interesting synchronicity to the energetic imprint of the Full Wolf Moon is the

connection to the brightest star in our night sky called Sirius, aka Alpha Canis Majoris,

or the “Celestial Wolf” according to Chinese astronomy.

Dogs make for loyal and protective spirit guides.

Wolves are pathways to

a systemic hybrid of complex interplay between

individualized freewill mixed with social democratic principals.

The spirit of Wolf reflects the Age of Aquarius,

where the individual blends their personal uniqueness with group consciousness.

In the shamanic traditions, journeying is a form of meditation.

One way to access spirit guides is through drumming,

which changes our brain waves, like meditation does.

May we leap and hop with Rabbit into the Faerie realm and other

magical adventures into rabbit holes of the underworld, middle or upper world.

Let us remember a callback to keep our feet on the ground and safely return to our hutch.

Alternate realities are adventurous places for our minds and souls to travel.

Staying grounded in this reality is just as important,

like the old spiritual mantra of walking with one foot in spirit, one foot in ground.

Soul travel is akin to dimensional bleeding.

Dawn & dusk reflect the in between times where the veil

between the spirit and physical realms are thinner.

Shadow building is when we call in our fears from our subconscious

into our conscious experiences.

Remember what we resist persists.

Are you contemplating starting a new project?

Could this be envisioning your new self?

Take care of yourselves everyone,

Ari

A New Moon In Capricorn & The Chinese Lunar New Year Of The Rabbit

Photo by Steffi Wacker on Pexels.com

On December 23, 2022, A New Moon in Capricorn adds to

the new energies of the forthcoming New Year of 2023

Keep in mind that the Moon based Chinese calendar new year will happen on January 22, 2023.

The energy of Capricorn might trigger a strong need for being useful to society.

Sometimes, it may lead us down a path of looking for justification in the outside world.

It can be enticing to underestimate what we want from ourselves and for ourselves.

Resentment can follow shyness when feeling ignored by others.

Rather than seeking approval from the outside, turn yin-ward and trust your inner values.

A gentle and kind inside-out approach will relax harmful self-doubts.

Working Capricorn in the positive awakens self-control.

Try not to get seduced by its shadow side by trying to control everything.

It will be the year of the Rabbit, according to Chinese Astrology.

Energetically, Rabbit is symbolic of good fortune and reflects the powers of the moon.

It will be a good year to develop your sensitivity and artistic expressions,

as well as ambition, fitness & virtue.

Rabbits are associated with sexuality and fertility.

There are many ways other than physically having sex or childbirth

to play with these experiences in our lives.

For example, you can wear different colors, play music and sing

as forms to explore your sensuality,

as well as give birth to a new creative endeavor as a way to flirt with the fertility of life.

Also, these are all healthy ways to reclaim

and nurture a healthy relationship with your inner child.

Truly, reality is multidimensional or quantum in nature.

Meditation helps access these realms as well as soften our attachments to them.

This writer has heard stories about the writer Lewis Carrol’s clinging to

alternate realities that he could no longer access after writing his classic,

Alice in Wonderland,

which was akin to a shamanic journey.

Similarly, Pink Floyd’s Sid Barrett reportedly heard celestial music in the dreamtime.

Sadly, it drove him mad because he couldn’t capture that sound in this realm.

It can take a long time to learn cause and effect, which is not without its consequences.

At the same time, we can imagine the possibilities beyond cause and effect and predictability.

As a spirit guide, we can leap and hop with Rabbit into the Faerie realm and

magical adventures into rabbit holes of the underworld, middle or upper world.

Let us remember a callback to keep our feet on the ground and safely return to our hutch.

Alternate realities are adventurous places for our minds and souls to travel.

Staying grounded in this reality is just as important,

like the old spiritual mantra of walking with one foot in spirit, one foot in ground.

Soul travel is akin to dimensional bleeding.

(See you on the dark side of the moon)

Dawn & dusk reflect the in between times where the veil

between the spirit and physical realms are thinner.

Shadow building is when we call in our fears from our subconscious

into our conscious experiences.

Remember what we resist persists.

Are you contemplating starting a new project?

Could this be envisioning your new self?

A Full Cold Moon, Winter Solstice and Looking Forward To A New Moon In Capricorn & Year Ahead After A Long December . . .

Photo by Joonas ku00e4u00e4riu00e4inen on Pexels.com

A Full Cold Moon arrives on December 7, 2022.

Like all full moons, this one goes by many names.

This name traces its roots to the Mohawk Indigenous Peoples.

Here in Maine, the Western Abenaki name is Winter Maker Moon.

Our ancestors recognized this Full Moon and Winter Solstice signpost as

the coldest and darkest timeframe of the year.

The Winter Solstice, arrives on December 21st,

and signals the darkest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.

And then after that we begin to coax back the light.

It is a good time to venture yin-ward,

go into deeper meditation, introspection, contemplation, rest, sleep

and travel into your cave for inner exploration and self discovery.

Yin symbolizes the darker, more feminine energies, like the moon does.

The Blues doesn’t sing about sunshine and rainbows.

Darker emotions are a natural experiences- especially right now on the planet.

The old world, with its wars, dirty energy

and general shadowy conduct disorderly ways is a recipe for disaster.

Might as well surrender to what is and tend

to your inner garden in the seedlings of the present moment.

Rituals focusing on gratitude and letting go are good energy medicine.

In the Southern Hemisphere, it is the opposite.

It will be their Summer Solstice, where the light reaches its zenith,

and the amount of light in a day starts slowly waning thereafter.

Conversely, this is a time to be more of a social butterfly, festive

and outwardly expansive, as yang is more masculine, like the sun energetically.

On December 23, 2022, A New Moon in Capricorn adds to

the new energies of the forthcoming New Year of 2023

The energy of Capricorn might trigger a strong need for being useful to society.

Sometimes, it may lead us down a path of looking for justification in the outside world.

It can be enticing to underestimate what we want from ourselves and for ourselves.

Resentment can follow shyness when feeling ignored by others.

Rather than seeking approval from the outside, turn yin-ward and trust your inner values.

A gentle and kind inside-out approach will relax harmful self-doubts.

Working Capricorn in the positive awakens self-control.

Try not to get seduced by its shadow side by trying to control everything.

Between the Winter Solstice, New Moon and New Year’s Day,

there are lots of new energies in the air.

Keep in mind that the Moon based Chinese calendar new year will happen on January 22, 2023.

It will be the year of the Rabbit, according to Chinese Astrology.

More on that next time.

Take care of yourselves everyone,

Remembering Beaver, Everyday November Gratitude, Reawakening Colorful New Moon Reflections In Sagittarius & Leaving Behind Seasonal Old Selves

Photo by Kristen Bouse

Our indigenous ancestors in the Americas saw the late Samhain as a New Year . . .

On November 23, a New Moon in Sag invites intentions for planting seeds of positive self talk.

New Moons are always times of new beginnings and new emotional cycles.

Remember, living a meditative life is not without a key dynamic of everyday Thanksgiving.

November’s Full Moon month has connections to the Energy Medicine of Beaver.

This month is as good a time as any to remember gratitude.

Meditation on Beaver captures connections to the Freemasons,

who were instrumental in the development of both Colonized America,

as well as a powerful totem to Indigenous people beforehand.

Beavers symbolize the ability to traverse both terrestrial,

watery worlds, craft secret tunnels and the awakening of perceptual doors.

The aftershocks of a powerful eclipse season are still pulsating through our energy centers . . .

as are the results from another political election season on November 8th,

which was also the date of the Beaver Full Moon.

At the forefront of contemporary American culture,

we have our attachments to, and preoccupations with winning and losing;

The trick of making politics like sports is the headliner du jour.

But a callback from a Wise Guy worth echoing asserts . . .

“The game we have all bought into is ending.

Monopoly is a game the Future will not understand anymore.

Love not money will save our hearts and souls.

And without our hearts and souls, we cease to exist in any way that truly matters.”

Pre-colonization was a time before humans worshiped the Almighty Dollar.

Instead of a maximum economic profit, a real free market is based on

reciprocity and bartering for mutual exchange.

What would happen if all the capital from Super Pacs, earmarks to lobbyists

and dark Secret Government programs

was instead redistributed into the Constitutional Preamble’s General Welfare?

Power to the We The People!

A New Moon in Sag features an archer that shoots their arrow toward a target through

mutable hybrid eyes of a gypsy, student and philosopher.

Their medicine teaches us to step out of our comfort zones

and experience novel meaning through an expansion of Truth.

Life is a fluid process of impermanence;

an adventurous quest that wins when open to divergent thinking.

The Yin and Yang illuminate dark spots within bright lights;

revealing the totality of life being greater than the sum of its parts.

Surrender the securities of safety in order to take a leap of faith.

But it is also wise to remember that hitting the pause button

can put the brakes on foreboding tragedy.

May we let go of painful parts of our past

so that we can visualize the future selves that we want to see ourselves becoming.

Sag’s Optimistic Thought looks like a mismatch against the realities of everyone’s life.

Humanity has rampant suffering in economic, emotional, physical, and spiritual ways.

It’s hard not to get seduced into our frustrations

and fears inside us and in the environment around us.

May the Sagittarius New Moon offer you A New Hope and bring in a galaxy of abundance

as you reimagine your next next chapter, if you’ll pardon the pun.

Take care of yourselves everyone,

Ari
