Interwoven Cycles of Life
4-4-2015
Lunar Eclipse @ 7:00am CDT
Full Moon @ 7:05am CDT
This Full Seed Moon was a powerful one with strong
influences bringing those things we started during the Equinox Eclipse to a
point of manifestation. So, though
I had to write this a couple days later so I could take some sick days, since
it’s an eclipse…the energies are present for another half-year before the next
one.
All Full Moons bring up matters dealing with relationships
of all kinds, but particularly those that are nearest and dearest. Libra, being the sign that has an
emphasis on relationships, is where the Moon (representing emotions, habits,
patterns, and the past) was focused over the weekend. What we are seeing now is how those seeds we planted a
couple weeks ago are affecting (positively or negatively) those relationships
in our lives.
While I don’t use astrology to try to definitively predict
events, this one feels a bit ominous on a global scale (especially for the
Middle East, where the major alignments of the past few years seem to have a
lot of focused energy) because of the proximity of the luminaries to the slowly
separating, but still in effect, Uranus-Pluto square as well as some alignments
with fixed stars that may exacerbate some already established problems. However, when we focus locally and
individually…the harsher aspects can often be worked through to bring about
some positive action. Also,
Jupiter is casting a positive light on things…so while on a bigger scale, it
may make issues expand and get worse…on a smaller scale, we have more ability
to focus that energy of growth and expansion on things that are positive rather
than negative. The energies are
there, for better or for worse…it’s just all in where you focus them. That’s how I use astrology.
Moon in the 15th degree of Libra: Circular Paths
This symbol has a lot to do with establishing steady rhythms
with yourself and others, daily routines, healthy social circles and
activities. Each of us has a bare
minimum of a natural daily cycle we have to do…get up, eat and use the bathroom
a few times a day, do a few things, and go to sleep again. It’s the ‘do a few things’ that may
need some work in these next few months.
Some of us have a few other imperatives such as taking care of the kids
or animals or going to work. But,
the rest of the time, what activities have priority? What really needs to happen to make our lives better in
those in-between times? Those are
the parts of our cycles we may be looking to revamp as we go along. For most, this means ditching those
things that are wasting our time and filling it up with things that are more
useful to ourselves and others. As
the warmer months are now right in front of us, we know our schedule, too, will
pick up in many ways…whether we are doing more social things, more outdoor
activity, gardening, etc. So now
is the time to get things in order so that we have time for the things we want
to do.
For many, the start of this eclipse cycle may have forced a
break in an already established cycle in order to get you to have a rest period
before the next begins. This may
have meant that you got sick (before, during, or after the Full Moon) and
couldn’t keep up with everything for a little while, needing to have some time
for recovery, as it was in my case.
Whatever it was that jostled the routine up a bit, even if it was just a
general boredom with the previous monotony that focused you on what you can do
to liven things up some…now we get back on the path and find ways to make our
journey more fulfilling.
Sun in the 15th degree of Aries: A Native American Weaving a Ceremonial
Blanket
This is a symbol of projecting the realization of wholeness
and fulfillment into everyday living by living in harmony with the universe and
disregarding artificial values.
The ceremonial blanket in this symbol refers not only to something that
has spiritual energy woven into it, thus bringing spirit into matter, but also
it tells a story of existence.
Each of us is weaving our own stories every day; this is our ultimate
conscious task. Such an act holds
the potential for self-realization as well as realizing how and why our own
lives are so integral and interwoven into others’ lives as well.
The circular paths mentioned previously are the daily
weavings we do, while this symbol refers to the big picture. If we weave boring and unimaginative
patterns into the blanket each day…the final product will reflect that. But if we put some life into it and
some areas of interest and color and intention…the result will not only be a
masterpiece, but it will also hold those higher vibrations within its threads
and become more than just a ‘blanket’.
Love and Gratitude,
