As the moon flows through her cycles, I grow……..

The Moon has a voice of its own. A tacit voice that we don’t hear, we feel. She languor’s in the sky among the planets who share her space. Together, as they shift, conjunct, tryst and play, the movement of their energy directly effects every cell in my body.

There are 4 cycles of the Moon – New Moon, Waxing, Full Moon, Waning.

As She gracefully swims through the tides of each cycle, we can sometimes find ourselves washed up to the shore feeling an impactful blow to our personal experiences. I had to ask why?

Previously, her soft whispers were barely audible to me amongst the loudness of my external world. But, as I continue to grow in my knowledge of astrology and spiritual awareness, the moon is teaching me. Through her cycles, I have learned, the sounds of the outside world are only a distraction from the pure wisdom that lies within me.

I like to think of each cycle as a steppingstone on my divine journey toward a karmic destiny. I also recognize I can easily be knocked off my path when the outside world’s volume increases. The Moon pulls me back on path with her next cycle and, with a renewed sense of awareness.

As I begin to swim through her cycles myself, the New Moon beckons. I find this first cycle to be as exciting as it is peaceful. It’s a chance to rest, restore, plant seeds and set intentions. It holds a depth of darkness. A depth I crave. I crave the Universe’s wisdom that is tucked deep in this depth. This wisdom is crucial to my growth.

As I segue into the next phase, her energy begins to heighten. This Waxing Moon is a time to keep my eyes on the seeds of change that I have planted.

She then swims through the sky to find her seat across from the Sun, I follow her as any good student would. Her fullness emanates an energy that is not only strong, but in some cases hard to control. The energy is brilliant, emotional, and so loud it screams. This is a time to release. This is the Full Moon.

Her shifting energy is felt throughout the ocean we call Universe. It flows outside and within us. We house the energy in our bodies, the vessels in which it presents in the world.

When I welcome the silence of meditation, I can hear the Moon encouraging me to move from my comfort zone and grow. Her inspiration is like a gentle hand on my back nudging me along this path toward my Dharma.

This is my geek, is it yours? Even if you pay loose attention, there is an opportunity to take a closer look at where you are in life and ask yourself if this is the path that calls to me?

As above, so below, as within, so without. Grow or remain stagnant. Love or remain unhappy.

Everything you have ever wanted is one step outside of your comfort zone. Like me, Let the moon’s brilliance light the way.
