4 Moon Mystery. Wildness. Physical instinct. Liberated feminine power
“There is a wildness within us that yearns to be physical, sensual, animal, free. But fear of this unknown part, of the shadows where it dwells, of where it might take us, has left us all only half alive…
Wildness is the only path to the moon. There is no need to dread the companions who will teach you how to shapeshift into hoof and horn, paw and claw, fur and feathers, fins and scales, bud and leaf and flower. Set your foot upon the silver path. The moon will light your way from fear to the fierce and freeing desires of your wild and natural self.”
4 of Water Open your Heart. Grieve. Reach out. Rejoice
“Whale is a wise and compassionate being who will guide you through the currents of your feelings and show you how to live in a connected way. Invite them into your life. Journey, dream meditate, pray, study, visit with and volunteer for whale. Allow whale energy to move through you…
Let whale teach you to sing.”

“Footfalls echo in the memory, down the passage we did not take, towards the door we never opened, into the rose garden. What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.” TS Eliot.
Welcome to the Wasteland, the In Between, the Zero Point….. whatever you call this place of stillness, suspended in time without movement or momentum. Not until January 2023- when Mars, Mercury and Uranus turn Direct on the 12th,18th and 22nd -will we be released from this place of no escape from the here and now.
For those of us who constantly seek newness, distraction and busyness in order to outrun reality, this is challenging. So many of your old tricks which always got immediate results in the past, are no longer working. That time-line, that energy is now deleted. The feeling of loss and lostness is caused by the fact that the old outdated patterns within you cannot find a resonance field now the old timelines are gone.
What we are really experiencing is the ending of multiple planetary cycles in preparation for an influx of new energy in March 2023 when the Great Eliminator Pluto enters Aquarius for the first time since 1798 and Lord of Time and Karma Saturn enters Pisces for the first time since 1994.
In December, pushing the river is pointless. It’s a time for tying up loose ends of all kinds, for completing incompletions, for weeding out old entanglements that keep you stuck or small. Deeply letting go means looking at what needs to change without guilt or judgement.
Wipe the Slate Clean….
Make 2 lists: What you need to resolve or eliminate and What you are compelled to create.
You are now in a moment where you get to review, rethink and recreate just about anything you want. This may involve any facet of your life. You can’t so easily relate to your past anymore. Your soul sees it all as just experience. There is less and less emotional attachment to it. It’s a blessing because it is making room for new memories. It is freeing you up.
Ask yourself:
what’s heavy, weighing me down? what am I tolerating, putting up with or settling for? what am I fantasising about leaving or radically changing? what would I love to never do again? what is chronically inflamed? what am I tired of feeling, and what makes me feel that way? what is dead in the water? what no longer has traction? what’s the one thing I’m afraid to say about my life and what am I going to do about it?”

Please join me Thursday December 15th for a FREE Wild Feminine Path event.
We will focus on connecting with the ancient wisdom of Grandma Moon.
I will guide you into DreamSpace in the shamanic style where we will chillax and commune with the waning last quarter moon. It’s a wonderful way to drop in, get yin and embrace the beauty of this season.
What wild and sacred wisdom does Grandma Moon want to share with us?.
Down near the bottom of the crossed-out list of things you have to do today, between “green thread” and “broccoli,” you find that you have penciled “sunlight.”
Resting on the page, the word is beautiful. It touches you as if you had a friend and sunlight were a present he had sent from someplace distant as this morning—to cheer you up, and to remind you that,
among your duties, pleasure is a thing that also needs accomplishing.
Do you remember? that time and light are kinds of love, and love is no less practical than a coffee grinder or a safe spare tire?
Tomorrow you may be utterly without a clue, but today you get a telegram from the heart in exile, proclaiming that the kingdom still exists, the king and queen alive, still speaking to their children,
—to any one among them who can find the time to sit out in the sun and listen.
