Om Sarvamangalayai Namaha
Sun: 17 Pisces
Moon: 19 Leo, 148 degrees from Sun
Inner Moon: transition between proliferation and ovulation
Moon Vibes:
The lover in ecstatic union with the beloved and the creator in sync with their audience. This phase relates to Beltane, spring equinox. Heightened senses, pleasure, amusement. In tantra yoga, this is the descending in-breath from soft palette to the throat, represents the first quarter of daylight and the element is water. In the hero’s journey, this is where we are facing fears, doubts, and uncertainties. We get an opportunity to show what we know through the trails and tests that are occurring now. In the menstrual cycle, waxing gibbous is a transition phase between the building up of the uterine nest and the high of ovulation. Use warm comfort foods and root vegetables.
Moon in :
Moon in Leo where we feel proud, show up big time and radiate every bit of confidence we can conjure up. In opposition with Ceres, our Lion’s heart-shine is used to put attention on taking care of the earth, food production and distribution. We are supported by using our platforms to support others.

Ritual:
For tonight’s ritual, let’s continue on the theme of self love. Tonight bathe your self in Love. Call in sacred space and prepare a ritual bath infusing Love into every step of the process. If you loved last nights “I Love You” ritual in front of the mirror start there, then direct your attention to the water, sending your love to the water as you fill the tub, speak “I Love You” to the water. Speak love to any element you add to your bath and light a candle with Love. Submerge and bask in the Love bath you’ve created. Speak love to yourself while soaking in the bath and love on yourself in all ways that feel good to you.
Give thanks and close sacred space.

Dreams:
To prepare for the third lucid dream technique:
- Do your nightly routines for cleansing and closure.
- Write the date and dream incubation if you have something you want to address in dreams.
- Practice tracking events of your day from now backwards.
Practice three works best when your body is completely relaxed, the room is dark but you are not too tired.
- Rub your hands together and lightly cup them over your closed eyes.
- Relax your mind while holding a thread of awareness.
- When thoughts arise, notice but do not engage them.
Shapes and colors will start to appear behind your closed eyes. Using the thread of awareness you’re holding, engage with the images. Decide what you want to see and start shifting the images into that. My hypnagogia starts off random and blob-like then slowly turns into refined geometric shapes. I imagine seeing triangles and the images shift into triangles. Keep shifting the images until your dreaming mind steps in. This technique is called WILD, wake induced lucid dreaming. You essentially dream yourself to sleep. The more you practice, the more lucid your experience of life become. Both in dreaming and waking reality. The point of all this is to increase your awareness and mastery of your mind.
