DISSEMINATING MOON IN VIRGO II

Today our Moon spends its last day disseminating before it reaches the third quarter. Our Lunar Goddess continues her reign in the sign of Virgo, today entering the Mansion known as the “Altar” which is ruled by Mercury and Saturn. The energy of the day invites us to look inwards at our thought patterns to see what storylines we may be playing out that have lost their relevance. Of all things the mind is perhaps the most susceptible to patterning, so we must be willing to discern which thoughts hold truth and which are simply conditioning. When Mercury and Saturn come together they create an energy that upon the surface may feel rigid but that is because our most beneficial moves at this time are going to be internal rather than external.

Remember, you are not your thoughts, you are the watcher behind your thoughts. So, it is up to you to decide which programming is outdated. If our mind is full of outdated storylines it can be very difficult to integrate new vitalizing thought patterns.

If initially you find difficulty in observing your thoughts and discerning which belong and which are outdated I recommend grabbing a journal and posing these questions to yourself,

1.What fears am I ready to release? 2.What storylines am I feeding myself that are no longer resonate? 3.In what areas may my thought patterns be holding me back? 4.How can I invigorate my mind with more accurate perceptions?

After writing the questions allow yourself to slip into meditation, if you find it hard to silence your mind put on some of your favorite music. From there, when you are ready, put your pen to the paper and start writing without thinking about your answers. You may be surprised by how readily they flow. The soul has a tendency to speak in transparency and honesty once an outlet is provided.

With love, Kismet

DISSEMINATING MOON IN VIRGO

Today as our moon continues to wane it finds its temporary home in the sign of Virgo and enters the Mansion known as the “Fall” which is ruled by Mars and Mercury. The energy of tonight’s moon invites us to balance the impulsive energy of Mars with the methodical energy of Mercury to uncover where in our world we are in need of a fresh start. The impulsiveness of Mars can give us the added courage to take leaps where previously we may have faltered while the nature of Mercury asks us to leap but make sure to take the decisive action needed to ensure our landing is as soft as possible. For example if you want to quit your job in search of something more fulfilling Mars pushes you to do so while Mercury inquires “Do you have a cushion of funds to support you while you’re on the job hunt?” Another example would be if you are looking to dive into a new relationship Mars invites you to follow your heart while Mercury asks, “Are you ready for this level of commitment?”

The energy of our moon today reminds us that it is entirely possible to be both bold and courageous as well as able to utilize the gifts of discernment and methodical planning. By honoring these polar energies you are also honoring the feminine energy of the heart and the masculine energy of the mind, which work the most efficiently together. Overall balance is key.

To be overly impulsive or overly methodical can be detrimental to your growth in their own unique way.

Today, tune in to where you’re ready for change, tune out outside distractions and dive headfirst into that which feels the most resonate to your soul.

DISSEMINATING MOON IN LEO

As the moon wanes in the sign of Leo which is one of the most creative signs in the entire zodiac, we are invited to dive headlong into our creativity. Whether you consider yourself a creative or not every individual is born with a unique brand of creative expression. It’s just about finding a way to relate to your unique mode of expression. Don’t limit yourself thinking you must be able to paint, draw or sing to consider yourself an artist. A key energy of this Leo moon asks us to look upon those who inspire us. Art is an endless sequence of inspiration followed by creation, so there is no room to feel shame if you create something that is an expansion of one of your hero’s earlier creations. Think of all the songs that have been re made, sampled and remixed, all the stories that have been retold. All that is required to stay in artistic integrity is to always give credit where credit is due.

Tonight’s Mansion is known as “Fortuna” which is ruled by the Sun and Jupiter. As the name suggests this Mansion ushers in a time where if utilized correctly can be extremely gratifying and fortuitous. The Sun is Leo’s ruling planet and so we are asked to embody the nature of the Sun by purposely putting ourselves in the foreground to truly be seen. Allowing ourselves to be seen is crucial if we truly want to draw in opportunity and experience success. Quite simply, success can not be found hidden under a rock. This is the time to talk about yourself, your gifts and what you bring to the table. This is the time to discern where to better utilize social media and marketing to put your talents on display. This is the time to take the initiative and go after what you want. Remember, the universe will shift things on our behalf in remarkable ways, but first we must take the lead. Be brave, as any rejection carries within it a gift. This gift is the freedom to move forward to the opportunity that is actually right for you.
