Deep Dark Moon Dreaming

Art by Claudia Dose

Time once and again for the deep dark moon dreaming that is de rigeur for the balsamic lunar phase, aka right now. You know the dark moon drill my darlings: declutter, release and repeat. This is *the* time every single month in a row to let go of anything / everything that irks, niggles, pains, blocks or bothers Beautiful You.

Cry it out.
Bleed it out.
Howl it out.
Break it.
Burn it.
Bury it.

Get gone!

This lifesaving monthly ritual is amped by the eclipses that we remain wedged between until the moon is new in Pisces very early on Monday (Wollombi time - Sunday elsewhere in the world). The cauldron space between these clanging changemakers is loudly demanding we release our past. This eclipse season hovers over the south node, refusing to let us rest in our comfort zones where we like to think things are known and safe.

Your past is not merely masquerading as stale and done. The masks are flying off the wall for good reason. The ticklers of your underbelly, the screaming earworms, the known offenders are actually here to help. Because really, are you not done with that shit yet? They remind us each precisely how much and why. Uncle Mars is making sure of that, bless his flaming heart.

So as you give up the old for the new still obscured and trade the known for your grandest adventure yet, keep in mind...

Not falling my sweet, you are flying.
Not drowning my love, diving deep to find pearls.
Not naked my darling but birthed afresh, unfettered by the once were's and has beens.

Resurrection is an inside job. Life begins anew on Saturday. Make ready.
