You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run, tried to hide
Break on through to the other side ~The Doors

Tension ahead! With so much in Scorpio (Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars) and the two big players Jupiter and Saturn retrograde we have a lot of moments for breakthroughs on the horizon or should I say on the internal plane/battlefield. With Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces there is an abundance of water energy. Water heightens our intuition, our emotional responses and also our propensity for enlightenment. 

An Anuradha moon requires the devotion in relationship to ourselves, our loved ones and to our purpose. It is time to push through the barriers that guard the door that carry us away from love and instead forge onward toward strong and enduring commitments. I read a quote by Ravi Shankar today "If there is fear or confusion in your life, it is because of a lack of commitment". Commitment takes strength, worship, faith, transformation and patient persistence. Where do you justify your bad habits, gaslight yourself or others to feed lack of integrity or scatter your energy needlessly. 

With retrograde Jupiter and Saturn we have a beautiful opportunity to dive inward in regards to our beliefs and morals and overhaul anything not true or serving us/others. Listen to your heart/your inner guidance and you will know where you need to grow this new moon. For Radha (who this moon is named after) embodied unwavering and passionate intensity for her love of Krishna (the divine). With full expression, ecstasy and utter commitment she earned the right to dance and be the dance of life and love.

Stay light,

Death and birth

I did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart going, "Boom-boom-boom"
"Son, " he said
"Grab your things, I've come to take you home"
Hey, back home ~ Peter Gabriel

I want you to imagine yourself walking through a pitch black cave. Sand beneath your feet. The smell of the damp walls surround your senses. You cautiously step forward. One step after a hesitant other. This cavern contains your past, your fears of the future and the void of the unknown present. As you walk through this darkness you begin to see a light ahead. This light ahead is the full moon on Wednesday night. Since the new moon a fortnight ago what has become obvious hindrance or stagnant of where you need to move to? What is residing in your life that needs to be taken away to get there?

This full moon has quite a lot of birthing energy to it but with a birth we must pass the threshold of death to get there. Like Charon carrying the mortal to immortal on the boat to Hades - we must have something taken away from us to provide the fertility of new ground. And new ground is cultivating, is culminating this full moon. Let go or be dragged. Basically the quote for 2025 am I right? 

Stay light,
Mark :)
