Full Moon in Taurus

La Luna loves the stable and sensuous bull
Exalted she is in this sign
and exalted I feel with the moon in her fullness

High Priestess of the Night
You reflect the light of the sun
Deep into the center of my being

La Luna,
Beyond words and rationality
Guide me to the place
Where images and feelings reign
Where mind and thoughts are laid to rest
Where my soul is fed
Where my heart is full
Where the oceans and my emotions feel your gentle pull 

I'll swim in your waters,
I'll bask in your light
I thank you kindly,
High Priestess of the Night

Fixed Water
The depth unseen
Show us our darkness 
so we can become clean. . . 

Clean of our repressions, additions, and blindness
Clean of the unseen forces that guide us

We are here to transform,
To turn darkness to light,
Use our weaknesses to strengthen,
Our gentleness to fight

Making peace with our shadows, 
Dropping judgement and blame,
Using kindness and healing, 
​Realizing we are one and the same.  

Autumn
​Queen of Letting Go
Break open my heart, 
​so my love can flow. . .
Flow from the places where I've shut down,
​from the dark murky waters, where shadow is found.
For that's where my gems are, there's the real gold, 
​the love and acceptance that comes once I know. . .
​that life and death, shadow and light, yin and yang, wrong and right, 
​Blend all together in one glorious whole, 
​reminding me once again, so that I may know
​TO LIVE IN THE MOMENT
TO LOVE LIKE I BREATHE
EACH MOMENT, EACH DAY
​BE THANKFUL TO LIVE

The River cleanses me,
washes it all away.
Once again, I'm an innocent child at play.

The cold water awakens me,
to this gift that is life, 
As I glide through her,
I forget my struggle and my strife.

So I pray to the waters,
I bow down in deep awe,
I thank you for your gifts,
You bring life to one and all, 

May we respect and adore you, 
May we be mindful of what we do, 
So that our children's children can enjoy the waters too!

Tapping into the ancient wisdom of aligning with the stars and moon

New Moon in Taurus gives us the opportunity to look at what we have built in our lives, and what new foundations we can create to reflect our true values

​Taurus; earthy, practical wisdom
​Guide us to build our dreams through following what we love
​Here, we realize how realizing our true purpose can be quite simple!

​Patiently cultivate what you have been given instead of  wanting things you don't have

​What feels good now?
Follow your bliss!
​Feed your joy!

Dark Moon
​She who embodies all that is beneath, hidden, repressed
​Teach me to accept and surrender to the darkness
​Show me how to not cling to passing emotions, feelings, fears, and the changeability of the mind
​Teach me how to find the light
Even in the darkest of nights
​How to hold on to hope when all seems lost, and I'm afraid, confused, and helpless
​Please, caress my soul with your deep wisdom

I pray to you Dark mother
​Help me discern that which needs the sword and that which needs patience and love
​Teach me to turn within for answers, instead of seeking the opinions of others

I pray to you
​I pray for my family, now and for generations to come
​May we heal our karmic wounds
​May we evolve and live in peace, love, joy, and acceptance
​and as we heal our wounds, may we inspire others to do the same, 
​and in doing so, Heal the Earth
​AHO

I am but a child in my heart
​Wanting to love, and be loved
Shying away from hurt and pain
​longing for comfort in my mother's arms
​
​Expressing myself freely
​Naturally moving towards what brings me joy
Accepting others differences, without even thinking twice
​For aren't we all humans, together here on earth?

​Let us be childlike again
​Innocent and trusting
​Joyful and ever present to moments as they arise

My Dreams are real
​I can feel them, touch them
​The doubts creep in, but I'm learning to mistrust them
​Having a vision, following through
​the most challenging and rewarding thing to do 

​So I take baby steps, one by one
​I walk towards my future
Remaining present
​Past and future are one
​
For time is a spiral
and its all-ready real
Choosing my thoughts wisely, 
​I go by feel

​I do what feels good!
I do what feels right!

Following my quiet yearnings, 
​Dreaming not only in the night!

Wise elder,
I seek your council
Teach me in the ways of stillness 
Retreat  ​Quiet  Non-doing
​Stillness comes naturally now
​To do lists lose their usual appeal
​I meet resistance if my mind tries to plot, plan, and strive
Dark Moon, you teach me
​That I am already there
I am HERE
​in my heart, in my spirit
​Beauty and harmony and perfection already exist
​My dreams have already come true- In the spiral of time I meet them now, 
​and I am content

Step into your power
But also be weak

Shine your beautiful light,
But first in the darkness you must seek,

Follow your heart
By quieting your mind,

Be utterly confused,
Then walk a straight line.

Life is a paradox,
There is dark, there is light.

Be with what is,
to expand with what might. . . .
