Observing the sky and telling stories formed our human mythos and how we connected with the ineffable. We were interdependent with sky and earth. Before the rise of letter based communication, astrology and astronomy were one discipline and our imagination of the liminal was fully functioning. The Moon and her mysteries are one of the most forgotten aspects of modern astrology. Along with the loss of the Moon, we lost our connection to mother in her many forms. Mother is an inner part of our psyche that is inseparable from the life creating waters, mountain ranges and the plant medicines germinated in the darkness of her fertile soil. Our ancestors passed down this wisdom until science and religion became the dominating force, making nature-based traditions obsolete. The traditions that honor the earth are slowly reviving and Temple of the Moon is being created as part of that revival. The divine feminine is growing in human consciousness after thousands of years of repression and fear around feminine mysteries. As we gather in love and respect for each other as nature, we begin a mass healing. We heal ourselves. We heal each other. We heal the planet from a place of alignment with totality. Our solar power to act and lunar remembrance of healing come together in perfect union. Through rituals and practices from tantra yoga and astrology, we merge the imaginal with the practical to create balance and harmony. Thank you for your love and desire to illuminate your inner nature. It is through this illumination that lunar glow becomes conscious.
https://youtu.be/wUhdVKWZ8bo Here’s a video with instructions on finding your Sun/Moon angle, aka Moon phase you were born in. The phase the Moon was in at the time of your birth is your lunar birthday every Moon cycle. This is a fertility point in your monthly creative process. The highest form of success is when your intellect, intuition and action are all rooted in the same foundation headed in the same direction. Your body is a literal bridge between sky and earth and naturally knows how to be in harmony with the cycles of nature, including the cycles of your inner nature. Our ancestors knew this and our bodies remember the truth.
Every day you will receive an email with the astrology of the day with an emphasis on the Moon’s movement in the sky. You will receive a daily contemplation, ritual, writing prompt or be asked to create an affirmation for the day based on the Moon. This will help cultivate and strengthen your lunar nature, Mother Moon as lived through you.
Keep a Moon phase journal where you will record your moods, cravings for attention, touch, companionship, food, recognition, anything that feels like longing or craving.
In this journal, you will also record your dreams. Please watch this video about dreams: https://youtu.be/4Jk-U-mYQfY
