Full moon in audacious fiery Leo, the sign of royalty.
Place yourself at the center of your own life. Rule it! Own your power, your wisdom, your grace.
Stop playing small. It’s time to shine, beautiful one. Shine your light far and wide.
“here is the month i decided to shed everything not deeply committed to my dreams. the day i refused to be a victim to the self-pity. here is the week i slept in the garden. the spring i wrung the self-doubt by its neck. hung your kindness up. took down the calendar. the week i danced so hard my heart learned to float above water again. the summer i unscrewed all the mirrors from their walls. no longer needed to see myself to feel seen. combed the weight out of my hair.
i fold the good days up and place them in my back pocket for safekeeping. draw the match. cremate the unnecessary. the light of the fire warms my toes. i pour myself a glass of warm water to cleanse myself for january. here I go. stronger and wiser into the new.”

#Beautiful
Today
I gave up
On healing my trauma
I gave up
On practicing the skills
To become whole
Today I gave up
On evolving
Into that ever elusive
Better version of myself
Today I submitted
To the wound of love
I stopped pointing at it
Looking at it
Soothing it
Tweaking it
Fixing it
Finessing it
Hiding it
Polishing it
I stopped this game of separation
I crawled inside the wound
And spread it open
I decided to wear it like a gown
I accepted my total and utter
Failure
To be anything else
But me
~Maya Luna
New moon in earthy Virgo, the sacred keeper of Earth rhythms and cycles. Sun and moon are communing with the dragon constellation.
The predominant energy this month asks each of us to declare our purpose. What is your gift and how will you share it with your world?
What riches are you hiding / hoarding within yourself? Now is the time to risk and share. The world needs the gift of you more than ever
🌙
The Soul of the world will see you now. What have you come to give her?
~Melissa La Flamme
For thousands of years, we’ve been told the way we experience life and the divine is too much, too emotional, too dangerous, and that we need a middle man—preferably with a long beard—to tell us how to get over our womanhood so that we can be free.
It takes a little risk and courage to stand here in your womanhood—with all the feelings and fluids and inconveniences—and trust that awake consciousness wants to express itself through womanhood too.
~Chameli Ardagh

On good mornings,
mornings when I am not distracted or forgetful, I get up and ask:
How will I make love to my life today?
