I’m always delighted to enter the phase of the New Moon. The gift and opportunity to seed intentions for at least the lunar month gives me such pleasure. I feel my connection with the Divine Womb and know that what I desire to birth will occur over the Lunar Month. When I know I will be working with a Solar Eclipse, I also know to be in awareness because I can seed intentions that can continue unfold, strengthen, shape-shift and successfully be identified over the entire year! So it is for you and I hope you will seed your intentions at this new moon with a definite desire to dip into yourself to connect with your Higher Self.

When we have a Solar Annular Eclipse, the Moon moves between the Sun and the Earth and blocks the center of the Sun. A glow at the circumference of the Moon is seen—the slight reflection of the Sun. The power of the New Moon has the Sun and Moon at 19 degrees 31 Minutes of Taurus and the Earth is at 19 degrees 31 Minutes of Scorpio—the Axis of the Soul, The Axis of Abundance, and the Axis of Self Worth can be seen in this alignment.

Mars, Mercury, the Moon and the Sun are all in this energy field of Taurus. Creating a wonderful determination to take action (Mars) with conscious attention (Mercury) to the Inner Plane (Moons) so the Higher Self (Sun) can be recognized and communicated with in order to receive the direction of soul purpose. Always, one must have the discipline to do that and the determination to succeed. Saturn is in Scorpio offering a hand to do just that. It remains in retrograde, causing the energy to swing over to the Taurus stellium event and stirring determination and dedication to follow through. What do you need to follow through on right now?

Venus has moved in to Gemini and want to get quite chatty about that inner event and ability to be determined to gain the wisdom and take action with it. She will encourage talking to others, at least someone significant to you, to aid you in deciphering what you are hearing, and encourage you to take the action.

Pluto is in an Grace alignment with Mars and Mercury and will help you stay in your will power to dip in and learn, listen and then come forward to communicate what you have gained. Pluto will help you administrate the wisdom, clear out what may be in the way of your true hearing, and call you to head into the shape-shifting power of your Higher Self. Within about 10 days, the Square between Pluto and Uranus will be the strongest and much can occur. An eruption of some sort, unexpected by many, and flushing out, once again, the old so the New Consciousness can occur. The energy is very tight already and most certainly is part of the world-wide events that have continued to occur (bombings and terror). Our responsibility is to move forward with conscious intent to live in a world of harmony within our own self, our own inner constellation, so we may radiate the brilliance of the Higher Self throughout our collective field and effect a change! Pluto is working with Chiron to open the doors of opportunity for this to happen. With Neptune, Pluto is working toward the goal to open the doors of opportunity for compassion world-wide to exist and awaken the world to harmony, peace, love and life mastery.

Full Moon – Partial Lunar Eclipse – April 25

At 12:57:06 p.m. Pacific Time this Thursday we will not only feel the effects of a Full Moon, but it is also a Partial Lunar Eclipse (that will only be seen in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia).   Eclipses have the tendency to increase emotional states, and often the reactive emotional states of our being.   With a full moon, then this will be a very intense emotional ride.  However, we can take the reigns and be in charge of the Bull (Sun in Taurus)  that is bucking and ready to go!  The Moon will be at 5 degrees 45 minutes of Taurus, while the Moon will be at 5 degrees 45 minutes of Scorpio.

The Earth’s shadow disrupts the Light of the Sun to the Moon.    This is the beginning of a trio of eclipses this Spring. The next two are May 10^th for a Solar Eclipse and May 25 for the next Lunar Eclipse.

Of course, eclipses do “hide” something.  Instead of seeing the negative side of the word, “hide,”  perhaps it would be good to understand that our New World and New Language might be that we are allowing energy to “seed” for future birthing of states of fresh new consciousness.  The seed must hide (eclipse)  in the soil of the collective soul to prepare for the proper new birth.    In fact, let’s look for the new birth as the cosmos will be setting. ( Of course, you can intentionally seed energy yourself with a good focus and use of the cosmic energy field that is radiating, undulating, and mixing within our inner collective consciousness.)

During a Full Moon we do know that we are experiencing a lot of powerful energy and it can always be used to birth dreams and desires.  If we are clear and concise in our thinking and feeling, we are the ones in charge of directing the energy.  If we are in a swirl of consciousness, then we let our unconscious take charge…..and anything can happen.  So, using the wisdom of the cosmic patterns forming, before it happens, we can set the stage for energy to be directed in this seeding time.  With the Lunar cycle eclipse, it is good to know that the effect will last for about 6 months and we may see results within a month to 6 months.  Intention, Intention, Intention; be sure to set your Intention.

At Full Moon we have the sacred geometry of a Kite and 2 minor T-Squares.  Of course, we have the Sun and Moon in opposition, but also the Earth and Saturn are opposite the Sun.  The T-Squares and Oppositions are providing the tension to keep everyone on the alert and aware so the “wake up and live” proverb can be adhered to.  Then, the Kite can be used at its greatest level of Universal gifting—to allow our Collective Soul to Soar!

Let’s first look at the Sabian messages of the Sun and Moon to realize an unconscious vibration that is encouraging Intention.  From the Sun we learn, “A bridge being built across a gorge,” and the Moon and Earth in conjunction reveals, “A Gold Rush”. Okay then.  We see the Sun is forming an angle of light we call “opposition” directly to the Earth, Moon and Saturn.  The Earth will eclipse the Sun from fully radiating that light to the Moon.   That opposition light is the Bridge across the Gorge.  It is like a tension wire of the acrobat and each person must walk it to get to the gold.

While we are dancing with the opposition, let me remind you of this Lunar Cycle of the Infinite Partnership of Willow (Taurus) and Reed (Scorpio).  Truly, this is where we make our headway on the bridge to the Gold.  (Read this page:  http://facesofwomanspirit.com/pdf/Willow%20-%202013%20Moon%20for%20website.pdf).  For walking the Bridge from the Light of Sun crossing Taurus to the reflective power of the Moon and the anchoring power of Earth, we will have the stubborn stamina to intentionally seek the voice of our soul directing the wisdom of Worthiness or Woundedness, Soul Retrieval or Soul Loss, Creative Expression and Creative Power.  With Saturn in Scorpio (Retrograde), we will be able to use our disciplined aspects to determinedly come into our inner states of being and discover our Soul Power, uncover our worthiness and express it as Saturn joins forces with Venus in an opposition as well.  Venus, moving through her homeland of Taurus, will be the siren that lures our consciousness to search for the Golden Quality of our empowered state to emerge from the depth of our inner being.

The Next t-square that is presenting the tension to wake up and take charge has the connecting energy of Pluto in Capricorn, Uranus in Aries and Ceres in Cancer.  Not a very strong T-square, but nonetheless, calling for the greater will to make a drastic change (Pluto and Uranus) so we may enliven the Earth Family as we walk with the Divine Feminine in our Heart and the Wisdom to bring forth the capacity to heal rather than be at war with each other.

Finally, the Kite configuration which is a Grand-Trine with a Kite Head.  Grace of the Divine providing the blessings to Fly.  The Moon and Earth, as well as Saturn, form two Kites as they instigate energy toward Neptune and Chiron in Pisces in one direction and Ceres in the other.  Ceres then Connects to Neptune and Chiron and they all form the head of the kite to the Sun and Mars in Taurus.  Most certainly the Sun and Mars will put that kite into a flight of intention to deliver the Gold that has been tapped into and turn the old dross energy into the Light of Peace, Love, Balance and activate the I Am Presence with a Great deal of passion, purpose and a universal promise to shed light with the Collective Soul of Humanity.

How can we respond to the Divine Mother?  How can we participate in calling forth the Essential Qualities of Love, Peace, Harmony and Compassion from the Collective Soul of Humanity?  By living with an intention to allow the Guidance of the I Am that only resides within us–the Divine and Mystical Christ-Self.  Let the Light of this Graceful part of us soar.  Let this part of consciousness live with courage, laugh with grace, love with an open heart, express truth, create from the depth of Soul Empowerment, and dance the dance of life that is well done when we live from the Love of Earth and the Love of our Earthly Existence.  This Grace-filled Home of the Divine is a Power House of Creative Expression and much more is ready to be manifest through the Divine Right Action of every soul.

Be blessed by the power of this Full Moon.  Don’t eclipse your Inner Power, Inner Light and Grace-filled Soul.

Love and Peace,

Katherine

2:35:17 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time April 10, we enter the initiating vibration of the New Moon and will be in her influence for several days.  We continue to have an influence of Alder, but the Moon will align with Willow soon after (just before 8:30 pm PDT, the Enters the flow of Willow/Taurus).
 
 The Infinite Partnership of Willow and Taurus is dynamic, critical to soul evolution, vital for creative powers, and exceptional in calling everyone to find their soul intention and personal worthiness.  We will look at three expressions of this power within us and the entire Universe.  The energy is available for everyone to use.  Some will use it with conscious awareness, while others will  be unconscious, yet influenced by the flow of energy within the Universal Net.  With conscious states of awareness the empowered state of self actualization occurs much easier.  continued at http://facesofwomanspirit.brownrice.com/pdf/Willow%20-%202013%20Moon%20for%20website.pdf

I know, I am early at getting the Full Moon Notice Posted. However, I am leaving the country and will be gone when the Full Moon Occurs on March 27^th. Here is but a tidbit of what I can share…may your inner wisdom share more as you dip in, listen, learn and use the energy and information highway of the Great Mind–Divine Mind.

At 2:27:17 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), the moon will be at her fullest moment. She is in the full on Axis of Relationships, and revealing the infinite partnership of Aries and Libra. As I shared in the New Moon Letter , http://facesofwomanspirit.brownrice.com/pdf/Alder%20-%20website.pdf),  we are working with several layers of partnership:

Action and Standstill

Self and Others

Personality and Soul

At the time of the Full Moon all of these qualities can come to light. Mars, Uranus, Sun and Venus are all poised and journeying through the sign of Aries (Alder), while the Noon and the Earth in Libra (Ivy) partner up (and most succinctly with the Sun and Venus). The Sabian message of the Sun and Venus is “A Man successfully expressing himself in two realms at once.” The Sabian message of the Moon and Earth is, “A Woman feeding chickens and protecting them from the hawks.” Who is the Man and who is the Woman? I most certainly can use the man as symbolic of our cognitive mind, logical thinking and action while find the symbolic reality of the woman as the emotional self, intuitive self, inner self, soul self, and the nurturing mother seen as she feeds the chicks and protects them. The blessing of the man expressing himself in two realms at once is the power of the Partnership of allowing the personal self (Alder/Aries) to connect with the cognitive state as well as the inner state. To successfully align with the two states of consciousness allows the partnership of Personality and Soul (inner self). The woman is feeding or revealing the nurturing of the inner self and protecting it from being a victim of experiences or memories, thus as the hawk (also a symbol of Alder) cannot simply enter with an aggressive need to pluck up what is there. This energy, move through our inner consciousness, thus is revealing that we have the active capability (man) to enter our unconscious realm (woman), know that we are protected as we make that entrance, can be fed (woman feeding chicks), and successfully understand what is going on in our inner psyche (mans success of the two realms). This can only mean that we will pluck out the wisdom of our self, allow then for soul purpose to emerge, and we can thus be healthier in our communication with and of our own self and, of course, with others.

This Action and Standstill energy at the full moon gives us the ability to move inward with care and resourcefulness (Sun/Venus). Once within, we can pause, find the balance or imbalance of our inner self, stabilize any imbalance, reflect on the inner wisdom and then know how to use the wisdom for our self and with others. (StandStill – Libra, Earth and Moon)

Yes, this particular Full Moon will have a strong focus on relationships and it is very important that we remember to communicate by speaking, listening, hearing and responding. We have sacred geometry formed by the arcing lights of the planets. The Sun and Moon as initiators of a T-Square arcs light to Pluto in Capricorn. The stirring of challenge occurs, the gift of keeping everyone awake is the power of the T-square, and calls for the open communication of self – others – and the nations. Yes, we are in a relationship with the whole world. I have mentioned several times that Pluto in Capricorn is challenging World-Government Changes (not just personal changes), and this alignment of the T-Square is a constant reminder that we are not the only ones on this Earth and we must have a realization that we are in a World-Partnership now that requires changes, adjustments, and an opening to more harmonious realities. During this Full Moon Cycle, that will be tested. Will we use this energy to support the change or use it to create more arguments? That wisdom will be hidden until the moment of action.

In the heavens we have the sacred geometrical shape of the Yod (Finger of fate/Open hand of the Divine). It is activated Mars in Aries, opening doors of opportunity to communicate with Jupiter in Gemini, and they both send their lights to Saturn in Scorpio, but the energy is almost inaudible. Saturn, of course, ruler of Capricorn is in the Sign that Pluto Rules, while Pluto remains in the Sign that Saturn rules. The structure (Saturn) to make the change (Scorpio) is having a hard time listening to the Action that needs to be taken (Mars/Aries) or the open communication that can occur (Jupiter in Gemini) if the benevolent spirit is present (Jupiter). We might pray that our worldly governments feel the gentle and loving hand of Source encouraging the change. The Source mind is flowing through the winds of the Mental Frequency of the Earth, so may we pray that we all receive the thoughts, and encourage by the inspiration do something with it. For, if we do, so will our governments.

Chiron, Mercury, and Neptune continue their movement through Pisces (with Mercury no longer retrograde). Though the slippery mind (Mercury in Pisces) might still be occurring, nonetheless, the sacred wisdom (Neptune) can be placed in personal awareness (Mercury) in order for true healing, courage to make the changes, and the strength to do so (Chiron) can occur on a global level (Pisces). Now, of course, if we all want to stay in states of illusion (Neptune) that everything is the responsibility of others, then we may only keep the energy of separation, selfishness, victimization, and wounding alive in the ocean of the collective consciousness.

Let not this happen, for each of us is in charge of our own reality. Let is reach for the hand of the Divine and grasp a hold of our personal responsibility to know our self, find our self sacred, and realize that by doing so, we a helping the healing vibrations move through the collective field and help all.

One more aspect of looking at the Polarity of Action or Standing Still, I would like to address the power of knowing how to do both. We are in a world of Action….nonstop Action. We want things “now.” We don’t want to take time to delve deeper into our selves, deeper into wisdom, deeper into instructions of education, life, and life processes. “Give it to me now” is an energy field we have jumped into with the age of technology expanding so quickly. However, these “quick” experiences are void of the depth of true inner knowing, true balance, and true wisdom. We are “surfing” the waves, but not dipping into the ocean. I suggest we use the power of this aspect of the infinite partnership of Action and Standstill and Actively choose to enter into all realms of our life, and Standstill to observe, feel, contemplate, understand in our learning process and then move forward. I can assure you, there are far more rewards, more depth of the self, more confidence, more strength in one’s abilities, and more heart in all levels of communication, relating to others, and most particularly, relating to the inner wisdom that guides us on our life path.

May this Full Moon bring you a depth of greater knowledge that is on the surface of the words written here. May this Full Moon bring you a greater awareness of your inner self. May this Full Moon be a blessings of guidance in your partnerships of life.

Spring’s door is opening as we enter this new moon. The Power of Light is encouraged by our creation of Daylight Savings Time (which occurrs on March 10th) as well as the universal dynamic of changing seasons. We all love more light. More time to create, act and play. More time to be aware, alert and purposeful, in a sacred way….exactly what this lunar cycle brings.

The Moon and Sun join forces at 21 degrees 24 minutes of Pisces. Neptune, Mercury (retrograde), Chiron, Venus and Mars are all in the sign of Pisces as well. It keeps us all in the greater arena of “more than one; and Oneness.” It continues to remind us that we are Source personified in human expressions and we are in a vibrational alignment that calls us to keep sacred the preciousness of this truth of existence. The alignment of all of these luminaries and planets give us a reverent message of holding sacred our High- Heart (Sun), our emotions and intuitive power (Moon), our power to actively create our reality (Mars), while using the sacredness of imagination (Venus), while healing the wounds of our mass consciousness (Chiron), allowing our Mind to be thoughtful rather than simply pairing with human logic (Mercury) while we dip into the Ocean of Great Spirit (Neptune) and bring forth the Real Truth of our existence (not the illusion).

This stellium of planets in Pisces have the gift of Uranus light to the way of the Transpersonal Wisdom (Uranus), actively pursuing the goals of the I AM Presence (Aries). While Uranus continues to be pushed by the transformative energy of Pluto, humanity continues to either resist the great change or activates the higher awareness of the intention of the great change that will help the world orchestrate and administrate the design and intention of Source to evolve the realm of matter into a holistic expression of living.

Jupiter, the ancient ruler of Pisces is in the sign of Gemini and continues to assist the expantion of the next generation of sacred language that can help motivate the collective conscious field to enter the truest level of living with compassion and appreciation for all. It is a risk to open the dialogue of the Mystical World, but well worth it for the change that is necessary to heal the human field of challenges, negative thinking and believing in shortcomings of the personal self.

As you enter the New Moon and the opportunities to place your seed-thoughts and desire into the universal womb, know what you want with the clarity of your higher purpose, soul inspiration, and inner desires that fulfill your life.
