New Moon Update 1-23-12

Dear Friends,

The New Moon was at 12:42 AM Mountain Standard Time on Monday January 23 and we are still in its influence. This is a time when depression could hit or you could become overwhelmed with the disruption and destabilization around you. This is a good day to pull your energy in and focus only on the tasks at hand. Don't get distracted by others and their process. You will likely have many things on your plate. They can all wait. Take time for yourself and yourself only even if it is just to watch a bad movie. Stay out of judgment about events and situations, as they are all just temporary. Take a break.

One way to "take a break" is to imagine you are taking yourself out of gear and experiencing just being, with no agenda, and just being neutral. You have been operating like a car in second gear trying to go 100 kilometers per hour in this moving centered time. You will wear the engine out. It is much more efficient to be in a higher gear, however to get there you must first bring yourself to neutral. So in taking a break, visualize yourself at neutral, drop everything, nothing going on, and then decide which gear you need to be in to take advantage of the movement in your life.

Due to solar flares at this time you may experience electromagnetic interference in a very physical/emotional way; irregularities in heart rate, breathing, balance, headaches, mood swings, digestion, energy levels and difficulty with mental focus. This will all pass as you shift into gear again.

Happy Chinese New Year and the Most Auspicious Year of the Water Dragon!

Blessings,

Lena

Sun and Moon in Aquarius, 2º

Monday, January 23, 2012, 12:41 AM MST

The Sun has just moved into Aquarius on Friday, Jan. 20 and we move immediately into a New Moon at 2º triggering an early Chinese New Year on Monday accompanied by Mars going retrograde until April 13. A busy astrological weekend!

So, we leave behind the earth/water influences of Capricorn and Cancer (father and mother) of the last Full Moon cycle of Jan. 9 and enter the fixed power domain of Aquarius/Leo in air and fire signs. Each element, earth, water, air, fire has a power sign, and they are opposite each other forming a continuum. Taurus/Scorpio represent feminine earth/water, and Aquarius/Leo represent masculine air/fire.

As the sisters climbed the path to the Star Temple the western horizon was ablaze with crimson and gold. Grandfather Sun had just set and night was beginning. Because this was a New Moon darkness would allow the Starry Ones to be very prominent in the indigo sky. Shooting Star was always happy when she could receive the messages from the Star People. She was the Keeper of their Wisdom. She also could talk to the animals. As she and Snowy Owl reached the Sacred Space she said out loud “I wonder what the message will be tonight?” As soon as the words were spoken all the Animal Totems for the different Moon cycles appeared at the entrance to the Star Temple.

Brown Otter and Black Otter led the way. They were Shooting Star’s spirit walkers. Before she had received her medicine name she was called Laughing Otter. The Otters’ gift was playfulness and sharing. She was delighted to see her dear friends for that was how she thought of them. Then all the other spirit walkers entered the Temple. Cougar, Wolf, Red Tailed Hawk, Beaver, Deer, Flicker, Salmon, Brown Bear, Crow, Raven, Snake, Elk, Owl, and Snow Goose joined the circle. Shooting Star and Snowy Owl knew this was an important ceremony for each spirit walker was a guide for every two legged.

The Energies of 2012 and January

The Energies of 2012

This is your year of transformation. Change would be the immediate term, as it will transpire as change within your physical life and world, but do not disregard the larger impact of each moment, each choice and each perspective that you embody. This year is for your full personification of your Divine Masculine/Feminine Balance and your elevation to your True Cosmic origins. Your new Beingness is your moment-to-moment resonance with the Whole of Love that is Timeless, effortless and Truth within you. Change is an infinite facet of Life, for Love always expands. Within the pulse of Love you are connected and you are expanding through the unseen (empty) Fullness. Thus Love requires Faith beyond the physical, for it is unseen. This is Faith in the Self, for all that you experience is within yourself. You become the conduit, the Divine Spark ignited into Full Flame if you allow your Glory manifest. As you balance your Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine within, you embody the full expression of Divinity, your Wholeness in physical form that is required for Creation. You become the Creator Being that you are and Life is transformed. Observe your abilities. Refine your Focus. Release Limitation.

Choice, the Open Door

2012, the year we have long anticipated. It has taken lifetimes of opening up to our Divine selves to arrive at this place where we now stand.

For thousands of years humanity has been moving toward this juncture. We now stand in a doorway of potential that leads to a drastically different world.

The key that opens this door is consciousness. But it’s a joint effort. You cannot do this alone because you cannot separate yourself from the whole, which is Love.

Whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the Universe is unfolding as it should. Max Ehrmann

There is an underlying force that allows for Creation. One part of the force attracts, like a magnet pulling toward another. The other part repels. The magnet itself is neutral – God and Goddess. So God, like a magnet, creates both forces, but is Himself neutral. God maintains His creation for awhile, and then absorbs it back into Himself and creates again.[i]
