Full moon tonight in earthy Capricorn, the shaper. The energies are amplified by a penumbral eclipse of the moon, visible in North America.
The deep feminine wisdom of the grandmothers is calling to you now. As old structures and rules are dismantled all around you, the grandmothers ask you to get clear about what you truly want.
What do you want in your world? Get grounded in this reality and then envision a new future unfolding before you.
Do you see a faint path headed in the direction of your truth? Follow it!
How can you begin to shape and build the future you desire? Transformation only requires you to take one tiny step at a time.
Nothing is impossible with the ancestral grandmothers by your side. Ask for their guidance and support.
New moon in Cancer, the nurturing mama. This new moon is amplified by the annular solar eclipse that occurred right after the moon reached zero point in Cancer. New moon energies of change and transformation are running even higher than normal.
This natural seed point is the perfect time to get still and examine your current life. Think about what you want to seed and grow.
What is not serving you that you can now release? What do you want to turn your energy and focus toward? What do you want to add to your life? What does your Soul crave? How can you move in that direction, even if it’s only a few baby steps?
This time is a portal into your future. Allow yourself to ponder, fantasize and dream about which door you will choose to step through.
Cancer is a watery, highly emotional sign. Be gentle with yourself as you ponder your life and your future.
This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year’s threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath, the door of a vanished house left ajar…

Fiery full moon in Sagittarius, the great seeker and explorer. If you’re feeling feisty and restless, blame it on the moon! Even Lady Liberty is a bit hot under the collar right now.
This is a great time to explore a place you’ve never been before — that is, if you have been released from strict quarantine in your state. If you cannot get out and about, think about using this sacred full moon time to explore a topic that intrigues you.
Become an intrepid explorer. Expand your wisdom and awareness now.
Whatever you do over the next few days, try to keep your mood set to calm, cool and chillax.
We locked up our wisdom into our bones And swallowed the keys They sank in our rivers of blood And we forgot the maps Because we had to forget the mysteries To keep them safe.
We wove our hair into brooms And swept over our paths And then burned the earth with our rage We didn’t teach our children It was the only way to protect them, we thought.
But in them we planted seeds, seeds and keys And told them stories and riddles and songs With no roots, just tangled threads That would take years to unwind Just enough time For the rains to fall again And put out the fires.
For the dams to break For the rivers to flood For the paths to be walked again For the soil to breathe.
And as the old bones crumble Deep beneath the rubble, We find we’ve always had the keys. Our stories and our maps Our paths are revealed to some And the seeds grow again. The threads are unspun And woven again
