First Quarter Moon in Sagittarius. 

 

First Quarter Moon in Sagittarius.

Free your mind.

Free your mind.

Free your mind.

And the rest will follow.

At this first quarter moon in Sagittarius tap into your inner GYPSY, STUDENT, AND PHILOSOPHER. (The three destinies of the Sagittarius as Steven Forrest suggests). This lunar cycle, that began with the New Moon in Virgo, is ridiculously centered around freedom. I figure…for me…this is extremely opening and terrifying in the same. What do you do when your life is shaken up? YOU FREE YOUR MIND. AND THE REST WILL FOLLOW.

Tap into your gypsy: Be free and FREE YOUR MIND. You are bound by nothing. Nothing holds you. If you have too much mind chatter going on….free your mind. Literally STOP the mind sabotage and FREE YOURSELF. Sit in silence. AND listen to your breath. If negative thoughts creep into your mind…acknowledge them…THEN SET THEM FREE. They do not hold you.

Tap into your student: LEARN. Learn what works and what doesn’t. When you feel pain…let it crack your heart open AND LET THE LIGHT IN. Learn that you are not the pain you feel. YOU are growing. YOU are learning.

 {Philosophy by Meghan Guarino…me sistah} // 

Tap into your philosopher: Decide on whether or not you want to be a functionalistic or cocreationalistic being. Functionalistic ideals focus on nothing but the bottom line. Cocreationalistic ideals involve the community. In other words, cocreationalists tap into the people around them to help make decisions that will ultimately impact the community as a whole. Typically, these ideals are geared toward organizations and public relations, but one can adopt them at a personal level. Are you in it for yourself or for others?

FREE YOUR MIND….and the rest will follow. 

Love & Moonlight,

Kelly

PS. Find people who loooooove like you do…

Making room for light…

Rise on…

Shine on…

“The wound is where the light enters you.” -Rumi

This is a friendly reminder: You are not the pain you feel. The pain, my friend, is what breaks open your heart to let the light in. What shines through… is you. 

You are sacred… You are whole… And you are loved. 

Let this be a life call. Honor your sacredness. Listen to your heart. Kindle your sacred flame and SHINE ON. 

It’s not enough to go through the motions. Dig deeper. It’s not enough to play by the rules. Play harder. It’s not enough to live by expectations. Break boundaries

Life waits for no one. Answer those life calls before they stop calling. For the love of love…Life is calling. 

And if you haven’t witnessed your own innate sacred divine self…open your eyes. You have been there all along.

Find those who love like you do. 

And let the light on through…you have a sacred heart. 

Love & Moonlight, 

Kelly

New Moon Virgo. 

New Moon Virgo.


Me and Hermine…

New Moon in Virgo came yesterday. It came with a hurricane…and a solar eclipse. This one was especially heart opening for me. What do you do when the world is at your feet and you feel it crumbling beneath you? What do you do when what you thought was perfection made it hard to see the forest for the trees?

You set yourself free.

     “The Virgin is an image of purity. Nothing has possessed her. She is attached to nothing, wants nothing, fears nothing. Nothing holds her. She is free, unbound by any earthly drama.

     Yet she is here, on the earth. What does the world offer one who seeks nothing but perfection? What can she do? She waits, aloof as the Madonna. She works on herself. And to pass the time, she helps where she can.” – Steven Forrest from The Inner Sky

Love & Moonlight,

New Moon in Leo.

“Les Lis” by Louis Icart

New Moon in Leo.

Been needing a new moon…been waiting on this one. For tonight, while the moon AND sun are in Leo, take time to revisit your personal manifesto. Who are you? What are you here for? NOTHING should be holding you back from being the “YOU” you were meant to be. But I get it…sometimes it isn’t that easy. Sometimes its REALLY hard to do YOU. Sometimes it’s really hard to crack open AND SHINE. But I can assure you…those are just temporary fears. Temporary limiting thoughts. So how do you get passed all that to transcend into YOU…?

Start by writing it down. Write it down again, again, and again. Tap into the essence of the Leo. Let your insides burst with light…burst with fire…for goodness sake, LEO is ruled by the SUN and is a fire sign…shine, shine, shine…

KINDLE the light within you and let it warm you. KINDLE your desires FIRST and then everything else that you do will come from a place of love. Dishes? HA…how about playing with your essential oils first because it makes you happy….and then while you’ve got that smile on your face from wafting some patchouli aroma up your nose…dishes will seem a little less depressing.

Tap into your inner Lioness or Lion and ROAR it out. If you got some negativity to release ROAR it out. You don’t need it anymore…it has already done its job. You’re transcending. Let go of the things you don’t need to make room for what you do need.

Then when you have written it down, loved & loved some more, felt pain & let it go…FIND COURAGE. Because THAT is the hardest part of all. You know what you want….you know what you need….you’ve written it down, you’ve released what you don’t need anymore….NOW TAKE THE COURAGE OF THE LEO TO STEP INTO THE LIGHT. It is your time to shine. Time is NOW.

Love & Moonlight,

Kelly

PS. I picked this image for personal reasons…I myself have a hard time being the ME I want to be. Les Lis translates to The Lilies…for me this is symbolic in the way that it means purity, modesty, mercy, femininity, and the souls restored innocence.

PSS. I’m currently revising my personal manifesto…completely peppered with femininity.

PSSS. MAKE AN INTENTON TONIGHT….mine is to FIND ME, DO ME, AND BE ME.

 

New Moon in Cancer with my 17th of 100 Days of Affirmation.


New Moon in Cancer // BUT FIRST from a year ago… 

It has been a whole year since I attempted my first Personal Manifesto. After looking back at last years July New Moon post I have gotten inspired to REFLECT and TWEAK my living personal manifesto. You can find MY WARM UP QUESTIONS HERE and HERE and then my PERSONAL MANIFESTO HERE from last year.

If you are inspired to write one yourself check out last years blog entry on creating a personal manifesto HERE!!

ALRIGHT…so let’s reflect for two secs…and then we will get to the MOON!

Hum…I’ve lived up to it better than I thought I would. I have been doing yoga nearly everyday with an unlimited yoga membership…I have started doing me by way of making what I want to eat when I want to eat. I’ve put love first in everything that I do. I PASSED my pediatric echo registry ON THE FIRST TRY! I have been hit and miss on the writing “everyday” and the blogging BUT I did start a little fiction story last October….I’m working on it occasionally…I should really reserve time to it everyday…but you know, LIFE. I haven’t painted or drawn much…BUT I PLAN to start again on my trip to the mountains next week. Now that I have passed my registry I don’t have anything to worry about so art and writing should come more freely. FREEDOM….aaah that. Yeeah, I’m still working on that. Told you that one was the hardest…although I do feel like I am more free the more I do me….so there is that.

NOW ON TO THE NEW MOON!

The moon is in Cancer, the Crab, tonight…time for a new beginning and a new intention. Steven Forrest had the perfect analogy to this Zodical Sign in his book The Inner Sky…he talked about how the Crab must build a shell to survive. Within the Crab’s shell is where the transformative work takes place. It is where you grow. Where you do the internal work. Once you’ve nurtured yourself…and grown too big to fit in your old shell…you must shed the old for the new. Molting. Shed. NEW.

Which made me think about our structure…our bones…they are constantly changing….every seven years we have a new set of bones. We are constantly changing…root down and flow with that.

So tonight….think about internal change. Have you been doing the internal work? Have you lived up to your manifesto? Have you served yourself good? Make it an intention to do that. For the next couple of days think about your intention and maybe tweak an old personal manifesto or write a new one!

Cancer Key Words:

Water: “I am rooted, but I FLOW.” -Virginia Woolf

Nurture: Cancer is like a nurturing Mother…just be careful not to be TOO overbearing.

Internal Work: That means…listen to what your soul has to say and do the internal work to connect to your soul. Pray. Connect to God. Connect. Connect. Connect.

Personal Manifesto: WRITE ONE! There is no time limit…just answer the warm up questions HERE if anything!

Love & Moonlight,

Kelly

PS. “I am rooted, but I flow.” -Virginia Woolf was my 17 of 100 Days of Affirmation entry!

 

 

 

Full Moon Sagittarius with a Capricorn Flair.


Full Moon Sagittarius…With a Capricorn Flair. 

Y’all. This. Is. IT. A Summer Solstice with a Full Moon…can it get any more magical than that!? I don’t know…but what I do know is that NOW is a time for BIG revelations, BIG TRUTHS, and BIG changes. If you haven’t already…THANK yourself for being you. The TRUTH is OUT THERE. It’s up to YOU to find it and see the signs AND BELIEVE IN YOUR INNER TRUTH. Yes, this is big…and maybe even a little intimidating and slightly scary. But I assure you, YOUR inner truth is right there in front of you. Sagittarius….that truth seeking ARCHER…Man, she’s begging you to AIM and SHOOT.

If you’ve been searching for your inner divine being…take some time tonight to say HELLO. It is there…waiting for you. Tonight and for the next few days you may come to the realization of your inner truth…caution to the wind, you might just come to the realization but it might not be the time to make that change…it might take a day, two days, a couple months…you might even have to plan it out…or maybe tonight is the night…you’ve thought about…are you ready?

Capricorn flair is sending vibes to be oriented and calculated. Make this one count. NOW is the time for YOU…even if you take a baby step. That’s one step closer to FREEDOM. ONE step closer to your inner divine. Capricorn is just that goal oriented…baby steps…OR GIANT steps…YOU know your limits….Sagittarius knows your truth.

For me…I’VE BEEN LIVING MY LIFE like I want…I’ve nearly done yoga EVERY DAY…EVERY DAY…whether it be at the yoga studio or on my back porch…I’M DOING ME…and being me. And I’ve got to tell you….it feels GREAT. I’m by no means perfect…BUT I’M ON IT…on my journey…to my inner truth. Every day…I’m connecting deeper within myself…and it makes me smile.

Love & Moonlight,

Kelly

PS. Are you ready…let’s make life GRAND.

New Moon.

 

  
 
New Moon Intention….

Change. 

This golden winged dragonfly decided to show up today. On a new moon. In my yard. There is so much that needs to be said that has been left unsaid. 

Change.

I danced with it for a while…and then it flew away. What was it trying to tell me? What is it that I need to hear?

Change.

I suppose I’m a reckless big hearted woman…deaf to her own cry…seeking what is seeking me…yet lost in translation. 

Change. 

Will I ever uncover what is covering me?

Last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius.

  
Holy moly…thank goodness for tonight’s LAST QUARTER MOON in Sagittarius. 

This morning on the way to work I stopped by the store for some things and came across the Newsweek special edition on SPIRITUAL LIVING (it caught my eye for the second time this week)…so naturally I bought it… 

Anyways…that set me on a feeling trip. All day today I’ve been feeling the need to find, live, and be spiritual. I’ll admit…I’ve been guilty of going through the motions full force without stopping. But the older I get, the more I discover, and my constant desire to be a freeflowing unbridled woman…I’ve found that there is more out there…you just have to look.

I stumbled upon this really cool interview via Claire Baker that got me thinking… 

Nature.

Women.

Divine Feminine.

Wild.

Free.

Unbridled.

Natural.

I haven’t watched the whole thing yet…so I don’t know if the whole thing is good! But for the most part of what I saw I resonated with… It even got me to make a trip to the public dock to watch the sunset with my youngest daughter… The photo above was from today’s sunset on the Tivoli River…

ANYWAYS…on to the moooon!

I wasn’t surprised at my behavior to venture out to the river to see the sunset…for crying out loud, the last quarter moon is in Sagittarius! You may be feeling the same things tonight… You may be feeling a spiritual pull to get out in nature… To return back to your divine feminine and your divine nature… You may feel the need to connect back with your wild self…back to the basics… Back to nature… Back to the elements. Earth. Water. Air. Fire. Connect back to your natural self… Watch this interview…and let it inspire you!

Love & Moonlight,

Kelly
