Divine Work: Focus and Presence

The divine work IS bringing the divine presence into each new moment, onto the Earth.

The Pisces Partial Lunar Eclipse was on August 27/28. The energy was mystical to a large degree, and the sense of release through surrendering to the divine outcomes was prominent. Uranus brings the “unexpected” to the table with the square aspect at 5 Gemini. This is a strong Mercury-flavored chart with the Mercury/Sun Cazimi (close conjunction) just a day beforehand. Many were finding that the eclipse was helping to close out the larger cycles that tied back to the previous years between March 2015- February 2017, when the eclipse axis was also Pisces/Virgo.

Here’s brief look at the former dates for your introspection regarding the Pisces/Virgo nodes, so you can gaze upon your own life and themes.

1978-1980,

1987-1989,

1997-1998,

2006-2008,

2015-2017,

2024-2027 (with the final eclipse at 2 Virgo, February 20)

The card I pulled for the group of individuals who read my blog is “The Green Woman.” Just looking at the image you can feel the inward gaze of energy into that precious cauldron with the Sheela-Na-Gig. The magical creatures in the hands of the Green Woman with her mouth and eyes yielding to the creative energy within her as fresh leaves sprout from her mouth and eyes show her balanced gaze is richly serious. She seems beyond capable of the tasks before her in the still waters of that cauldron; she can look beyond what is known, and into the unknown. This is her divine job, as a service to create through transmutation, to become the alchemist.

“Appearing at a time of rich nurturing and protection, of learning and initiation, when loving and fertile relationships, both human and universal, abound, the Green Woman mediates the sacred sovereignty of the Earth’s soul and can show the path to understanding and communion with nature. But with this blessing comes responsibility. Remember that this glorious, magnanimous and generous spirit can live through you, radiated by the sacred breath of life and given to others who need guidance and healing. Learn from this abundant and joyous spirit of the Earth and be at one with the world and your true self.”

That divine work is the service of allowing the Spirit of the true Self to move through you: to become the formless one and transfer that energy into your physical, earthly form.

This deck has become my new primary deck, and it’s been lovely working with these cards. This card was so striking for me as I was attending a Joe Dispenza retreat in my local area during this Lunar Eclipse and outdoors walking with my Joe Dispenza “tribe.” During the partial lunar eclipse there was a thick layer of fog as we performed the walking meditation of , “The Mystic’s Walk.” The whole experience of the eclipse was woven into this mystical walk and deep integration of the mystical self.

I believe that each one of you knows your own soul’s work; it may take on many forms beyond your day job. You might have experienced and be experiencing the change in your daily rituals, and even the calling for something more from your soul. Listen to this, with each passing day, remember that you are first Spirit, and second comes your body, and your physical form. You are the essence of all of life.

With this full moon and lunar eclipse, may you express your deepened experience as the mystic, serving from a greater capacity on this earth. If you have wept and released, then you living well on your mission to purity and clarify the way Spirit wants to move through you: to become a clearer channel.

If you can trust and let go, you are one step closer to your pure nature (all of us). If you can’t, then you are in the process of alchemizing and transmuting your particular energies of experience, translating for all of humanity with each step of the way. Be gentle with yourself as you slowly integrate the messages and lessons that are happening within you, mirrored by great cosmic clock in the movements of the celestial bodies, for you are beyond time and object. You are pure presence…

Emotional uncertainty vs. Long term clarity: The real work

This full moon in Capricorn gets rocked by the Mercury station-retrograde in Cancer. It can be choppy waters moving through the center of that commanding mountainous canyon. But very few lunations exist in isolation without contact and interaction with other planetary movements, such as no man nor woman is an island.

There’s usually a bigger story to be told that umbrellas the smaller, more personal stories. For example, there’s the rumblings from the changes of the upcoming nodal movements next month in July. We are saying “goodbye” to much victim consciousness and perfectionism and judgment with regard to the Pisces/Virgo nodal dynamics. The next set of nodal link-ups corresponding to our “destiny” trajectory is thematic of Aquarius/Leo: the collective vs. the individual. (Let me remind you here that duality is a glimmer of a more wholesome truth: that opposites are quite alike, and only apparently different).

That said, we are in the midst of a turn within the wheel of our season, in Summer, for the Northern Hemisphere, the Solstice energy has recently peaked. The fire element is revving up in the sign of Leo as Jupiter has just spent a while in Cancer and is about to join Venus in Leo—the two recently conjoined in Cancer and set off a new story around values and family, relationships and meaning: giving new possibilities to the old watery themes.

What’s next requires its own paragraph. Mars just entered Gemini to be with Uranus (newly in Gemini). That’s pretty big news for this Full Moon in Capricorn, as it’s happening at approximately the “same time” as Mercury station retrograde in Cancer. The air signs help us to “free” up some of this really intense water (water trine last year) that we’ve been experiencing, and finally dapple in some levity. There’s exceptional room for curiosity now, discoveries and mental flexibility. I believe the invitation with Mercury stationing retrograde in Cancer, which thematically is tied to the past and the emotions including sensitivity around comfort and caretaking–again–the invitation here is to use the mind to break free from former constrictive karmic cycles. Seeing the old hamperings in a new light, revising the personal narratives to set off better movements, and that is to say setting off onto the world’s work (Capricorn). (Because we have a lot to do.). Roll up your sleeves.

This full moon in Capricorn brings quite an ending, though, for sure. Ending is not as good of a word as the word: culmination. But I did want to punctuate the expression of a deep severance from the diseased parts of the old order. It’s time for new work. Thankfully this comes for those who have been doing the dutiful work and even the Great Work– Alice Bailey style “lifelong process of transformation–not simply self improvement but union of personality and soul, purification and initiation, service to humanity, co-creation with divine purpose.”

I pulled the 21. World Tree Card for our full moon in Capricorn reading, for all of my readers, near and far. This card ended up as perfect to help illustrate the energy of this full moon.

For more text on this card, it’s already online here. It’s from The Wildwood Tarot:

“As a symbol of the bridge of consciousness between the great universe in outer space and the small universe inside every human mind. The World Tree marks the end of The Wanderer’s trip and the starting point for another journey. The Wanderer began his journey around The Wheel with an innocent, passionate curiosity. It is the journey that has brought wise experiences, along with the gift of knowledge. Now, The Wander is taking the final steps along the path of the maze of life, entering the heart of The World Tree to become an integral whole with the cosmic memory.” …

“The universe blesses anyone who seeks knowledge and wisdom with a sincere heart. The universe has an absolutely generous heart, giving its richness and beauty unconditionally. No matter how long life can be and no matter how difficult, challenging, and harsh it is, if we persevere, integrity and success will come to us. The blessing is bestowed materially or spiritually. After a long process of learning and being suppressed by responsibility, now is the time to immerse yourself in the light of revival and enjoy your own glory. Take a breath of fresh air, drink fresh water, and warmly rejoice in the infinite energy of the universe.”

The above paragraph highlights that genuine caring and sincere heart, the unconditional love, reflected by the innocence of the child in the sign of Cancer, one who meets the harshness of the world in Capricorn, faces struggle and up-hill battles, only to be become freed through perseverance and sincerity… can finally… breathe (Mars and Uranus in Gemini).

“Take a breath of fresh air, drink fresh water, and warmly rejoice in the infinite energy of the universe.”

You have been purified, and you are purifying. Letting this former chapter go, is a good thing.

The culmination is here.
