Twisting In The Chrysalis Of Change
Shamanic Weather July 20, 2015
***Fire Ceremony Update Below***
She’s all about getting things in order, but the Clean It Up Virgo Moon has us twisting in the chrysalis of change today, discovering and discarding the dead-ends of our mental mazes and trying to figure out our next moves.
Spiritual Warrior Mars wants us to take Action! The Sky Lord of Anarchy Uranus has some weird ideas about how to go about that, creating resistance both within ourselves and from our companions and advisors.
Wounded Healer Dreaming Chiron takes us further out along the spectrum of ways we can unintentionally sabotage ourselves, but the Compassionate Communicator Mercury saves the day, bringing us the messages we need to hear and understand to better grasp our uniqueness, appropriate timing, and how to get back to Self Love.
SPIRIT MEDICINE
Trust Your Own Understanding
You really do know, deep down, what choices will honor you in the present moment. Sure, some of them you may look back upon later with surprise, or regret, but continually second guessing yourself creates anxiety and breeds inaction. Just do the best you can and trust your Soul to guide you as you transform.
ANIMAL MEDICINE
Be Gentle With Yourself
You really are positioned to make the very best of this life! Focus on what’s working, how you have grown and changed, and what’s great about you. Deer brings messages of unconditional love (and it begins with YOU!), while Monkey asks you, “how are you being a friend to yourself?”
And Cockatoo echoes both sentiments, adding “how are you participating in the gift of life?” Cockatoo symbolizes the celebration of death as a doorway to the next life – here as a reminder to leave our “dead” ego to decompose and greet a new self-image with joy.
EARTH MEDICINE
Heighten Your Vitality
Mental gymnastics can exhaust you and sever connection to the flow of life – get back into the body and move some energy around at the physical level. All the animals that appeared in today’s spread are social creatures who thrive in numbers and are severely stressed when alone. Reach out to friends, reestablish healthy flow with nature, and remember you ego is more focused on being alive than quality of life.
Take it easy on yourself today should your mind run rampant over your heart, and bathe the new you twisting in the chrysalis of change with positivity – great music, stimulating conversation, nature walks and lots of belly laughs
Make this a day to Roar about!
***Fire Ceremony Update***
Lightning, thunder, and torrents of record-breaking rain inundated most of San Diego while I was camping up on Mount Laguna. On the mountain, though, we were blessedly just outside the path of the storm enjoying mild, spring-like weather. A gentle shower awoke us on Saturday morning which cleared in plenty of time for breakfast. Midday more rain briefly pounded the camp, but I was off at the top of Glider Peak with John the Didge Man, playing and singing to the Borrego Desert below, and outside of the storm’s path.
By evening the stars were ablaze. A group of people we knew and didn’t know surrounded the campfire, singing along to guitar and didgeridoo. Just before the 10 pm camp rules quiet time was to commence, I took out the bundle I’d prepared for the Fire Ceremony to both release old stuff and invite dreams to be realized. Together we burned it up , all of it, all the intentions I was asked to burn up symbolically and those of the folks in the circle.
May this serve the highest and best good!
