Dear friends,
we are about to sit under the pink moon together.
April’s full moon comes at the end of several wild starry rides. It has been an intense few weeks from an astrology standpoint. Or so I have read.
We can read all we want about astrology. The question is - what have we felt?
Within the dark waters of my soul a lot has been moving, a lot has been wanting to be expressed. Through dance, through connection, through conversation, through love-making, through color, through flower, through poetry. So I have been letting it.
My innermost self has been wearing a feathery cloak, flying in thought, grounding in earth and letting ideas filter through the realms of dreams.
The NY post wrote about the pink moon
If we understand Pluto to be our focal planet and the release valve for the tension between the sun in Taurus and the moon in Scorpio, then the cosmic key to progress is a radical rebirth.
Pluto is the planet of destruction in the name of creation, a seismic change in service of a larger story. Often planet Pluto “tests” our mettle, casting out (oft suddenly, rarely gently) that which holds us back.
The lesson of this lunation? It’s painful to let go but impossible to hold on.
Change is at hand, folks, and while rebirth is miraculous, it is violent and volatile, and the moments that precede it are deep, dark and terrifying.
to become who we are, we have to burn who we’ve been.
Mmmmmh. Destruction in the name of creation. Impossible to hold on.
This is yummy stuff.
🌕 Which walls can we break down?
🌕 What has felt hard in our bodies?
🌕 Where do we keep energy that wants to be moved?
🌕 How do we want to express?
🌕 What remains suppressed under your skin?
I invite you to do a few breaths with me:
I invite you to light some incense, to sit in meditation, to sit in conversation, to sit with cacao, to sit with pen and paper, to sit with your plant ally and to really ask yourself
🌕 WHAT IS MY SOUL LONGING FOR 🌕
See what crawls under your skin,
what pulsates through your veins,
as you ask yourself this question.
I invite you to read/listen to this poem that came through sitting in a supermarket parking lot Saturday morning:
Most of all - in Taurus - I invite you to swim the waters of life. To be in joy. Yes the world is heavy, yes the world is hard. Your life is precious and it wants you to feel the joy of being alive and then create and show up in the world from that soft, joyful place.
May I suggest
🌕 a kitchen dance
🌕 a bonfire with friends
🌕 watching how light moves through your house
🌕 a bath with flowers
🌕 a bath in flowers
🌕 a sensual body oil of jasmine, vanilla and sandalwood maybe?
I definitely want to invite you to enjoy this playlist and enjoy it loudly. It has been playing in my home nonstop.
The journey is the point,
ps:

This reminded me to release something very big that I’ve been putting on the back burner for a few weeks (*ahem* months). And to do so ceremoniously, which seems all the more potent and even exciting.
Side note, today (24/04/2024) is a 9 day in numerology. All about completion 🌀🌀🌀
