Lunar Update 2nd Sept 2016

by Katherine Anne Lee | Sep 2, 2016 | daily readings, Health, Lunar Devotion

Our Moon is moving through this powerful New phase in Virgo, for one more day. And although now technically waxing, her energy is still at its lowest ebb, so this is not a day to push yourself. Virgo can urge us into activity. It is a mutable sign which infers a need...

Dark Moon Juice Cleansing

by Katherine Anne Lee | Jul 3, 2016 | Health, Lunar Devotion, Moon Phases

We are approaching another dark Moon:  The lunar phase that has always signalled a time for retreat.  At these times, our emotional energy is often at its lowest ebb so it can be a really hard time to be interacting with a lot of other people, and putting ourselves...

by Katherine Anne Lee | Jun 28, 2016 | daily readings, Health, Lunar Devotion

Luna wanes through Aries today, a sign of action, impulse and drive. But, we are now moving through the last quarter of this lunar cycle, so this is not the time to embark on grand plans and big ideas. Instead, try to channel todays lunar energy into completing all...

Lunar Update 21st June 2016

by Katherine Anne Lee | Jun 21, 2016 | daily readings, Full Moon, Health, Lunar Devotion

Luna moved into Capricorn yesterday afternoon, just minutes after peaking in her Fullness. She still moves through this buoyant, celebratory phase, but in this sign (opposing her ruler Cancer) she is said to be in her detriment.  This means that today, Luna’s fullness...

Lunar Update 10th June 2016

by Katherine Anne Lee | Jun 10, 2016 | daily readings, Health, Lunar Devotion

  Our Moon is waxing through Leo for the first half of the day, so be sure to make the most of this strong, assertive energy whilst we have it to call upon. But, be aware that from 08:13 – 14:45 BST she moves Void-of-Course (when she will not be making any...

Lunar Update 15th May 2016

by Katherine Anne Lee | May 15, 2016 | daily readings, Health, Lunar Devotion

Luna continues her journey through Virgo today, a lovely earthy transit which always brings us gently back into our bodies, reminding us of our own sacred, corporeal nature. This Moon can often cause any food or substance intolerances to flare, as our bodies are in a...

The depth of this Dark Moon’s drop is tempered b The depth of this Dark Moon’s drop is tempered by Taurus. ⁠ ⁠ Here she is exalted: Lifted, lightened, and allowed to express fully. (Which is counterintuitive seeing as we are nearing the New Moon… but still the “fullness” of la Luna and her feminine qualities sit well here).⁠ ⁠ This is a good day.⁠ ⁠ Taurus’ fixed energy transmutes into devotion. ⁠ The slowness to consideration.⁠ The tenacity to care.⁠ ⁠ Here, she reminds us to take care of ourselves. ⁠ ⁠ As the light draws away, so does all that you wish to release… physical impurities and toxins (the dark Moon is a fantastic day for a detox or fast). ⁠ And emotional burdens too.⁠ Take care as they rise and release.⁠ ⁠ Let them go, as they make space for the new.⁠ ⁠ All is well.⁠ This is the way.⁠ ⁠ ⁠
She is darkening. ⁠ ⁠ It is impossible to ushe She is darkening. ⁠ ⁠ It is impossible to usher in the rising feminine without also holding space for her darkness.⁠ ⁠ The Moon shows us this so clearly.⁠ ⁠ Just because much of her face is shrouded in darkness, She's no less powerful. Perhaps She is more powerful because of it…?⁠ ⁠ When *you* are the dark, when you are clothed in your shadows, you are also this powerful. ⁠ ⁠ Though it’s hard to see and know that, isn’t it? Society *really* doesn’t want to hold space for it.⁠ ⁠ As parents, we hurry our children away from bad moods and grumpy frowns, drying their tears and “shushing” their tempers because they are both hard to handle and often inconvenient... ⁠ ⁠ So is it any wonder that WE as adults, don’t know how to hold the less-than-sunny sides of ourselves?⁠ ⁠ ⎯⁠ ⁠ The dark Moon stands as a metaphor and a totem for the Dark Feminine. She who has been suppressed, hidden, and silenced. It sounds grand, doesn’t it? (And it IS) but suppression of the sacred dark also comes in tiny, everyday ways, like ⁠ ⁠ ✪ Not letting your child (or yourself) cry and scream. ⁠ ✪ Not speaking your truth because it may offend⁠ ✪ judging other women for being “too” this, or “not enough” that (even on mute, in your own head.. this is silent, internalised violence) ⁠ ✪ Shaming your body and her functions (like your own monthly Moon)⁠ ⁠ As the deep dark widens over the weekend, can you catch yourself *suppressing yourself?* ⁠ ⁠ Can you begin to notice where the dark feminine wants to reveal her power… through you? ⁠ ⁠ Just ike the light (and every shade of grey!), the Dark Feminine isn't rising somewhere over there, just beyond reach. She's emerging *through* you. ⁠ ⁠ Can you let her?⁠
I love the lemniscatic dance of both, and.⁠ Loop I love the lemniscatic dance of both, and.⁠ Looping together opposites.⁠ Holding simultaneously.⁠ Walking between two worlds AND walking within each world.⁠ ⁠ It’s the walk of motherhood.⁠ It’s the walk of shamanism.⁠ It’s the walk of our times.⁠ ⁠ The joy and the grief.⁠ The hope and the despair.⁠ The role of the victim and the role of the victor…⁠ ⁠ I feel this today, too. ⁠ The flames of Aries: hot, quick, emergent.⁠ The dark Moon: dark, sultry, cool.⁠ ⁠ Sometimes these energies seem to spin away from each other, holding such different qualities we surely can’t mirror them both?⁠ ⁠ But this is the dance. And this is also the medicine of self-trust and hearing your inner guidance.⁠ Which threads do you choose to follow?⁠ Which strand does YOUR energy wrap itself around? ⁠ ⁠ You can be both, and.⁠ *Or* choose not to.⁠
La Luna wanes closer to darkness, and through the La Luna wanes closer to darkness, and through the last sign of the Zodiac.⁠ ⁠ Like the 9 in Numerology, Pisces brings both an incredible energy for releasing… and a sense that letting go is one of the hardest things to do. ⁠ Paradox? ⁠ Yes. ⁠ ⁠ But that’s the way, with a lot of the tough stuff. ⁠ The things you find the hardest, are often where your superpowers lie. ⁠ The thing you resist is the thing you need.⁠ The biggest challenge is where the greatest gift will be born.⁠ ⁠ So under this waning Pisces Moon, the thing you’re invited to release may be the thing you cling on to most tightly.⁠ ⁠ How do you know whether this is true? How do you know whether to dance with the discomfort OR slip back towards what feels comforting?⁠ It’s a matter of intuition.⁠ Inner knowing.⁠ Your voice.⁠ Your body.⁠ ⁠ Good news: The *deep listening* this work requires comes easily under a Pisces Moon! Your first instinct will usually be the one to trust. So trust it… (not so easy 🙄 )⁠ ⁠ GO well, friend⁠ X⁠
Do you feel the sea of all that is, all that was a Do you feel the sea of all that is, all that was and all that one day could be…?⁠ ⁠ The Moon in Pisces carries us into this fullness, this expanded knowing of unity.⁠ ⁠ Water, as an element, will run to fill every gap, crack, and crevice. It drops to the lowest level it can, seeking to saturate its bedrock. ⁠ ⁠ Did you know, your emotions are so very similar? ⁠ ⁠ If you don’t feel them, help them to rise and expand (like steam) through muscle, tissue cells, and blood, then they’ll sink ever deeper, into the bedrock of your being? Unfelt, abandoned emotion can settle in the body, seeping through whatever pathways are available... or not. ⁠ ⁠ And if they get stuck, they change the fabric of our bodies. Like old forgotten caves that are weather-worn by years of dripping wet, or pools of musty rain, unclaimed by clouds for eons.⁠ ⁠ This Moon can help us to draw that water out. To free it, expand it, to feel the feels and let them go. ⁠ ⁠ Pisces as an archetype is a master of this work because she’s made to contain it all. Coming last on the mandala of the Zodiac, this sign opens her arms wide and holds it all without bursting her banks.⁠ ⁠ So if you’ve been reluctant to feel something recently… holding it in, letting it seep ever deeper, then this maybe your Moon to let it rise.⁠
Waning Moon in Aquarius.⁠ ⁠ The water bearer, Waning Moon in Aquarius.⁠ ⁠ The water bearer, who brings his vessel of this sacred elixir to quench the thirst of the collective. ⁠ ⁠ This Moon is special to me – she is my Moon.⁠ She brings a driving force to change things for the better. To spill as much freedom over the edges of herself so that others can collect it up themselves, drinking it in.⁠ ⁠ Yet so idealistic and future-focused, the world can feel heavy and slow under this Moon. Is it any wonder, with rootsy Taurus as her opposite?⁠ ⁠ This is a Moon to quench your own thirst for goodness. ⁠ To give and receive.⁠ To bathe and imbibe.⁠ ⁠ We can each *only* play our part.⁠ YET that part is vital.⁠ ⁠ Aquarius teaches us both of our uniqueness and our limitations. Both are necessary to affect change – this means accepting yourself fully, in all your unordinary-ness. ⁠ ⁠ Can you do that today?⁠
