Happy Leo Full Moon Lunar Imbolc!

 Dear Beautiful Friends,Happy Lunar Imbolc, Full Moon in Leo, Wolf Moon, located within Praesope or the Beehive Cluster!This Full Moon, exact this afternoon (Thursday) features complex dynamics including Sun conjunct Jupiter, Venus conjunct Pluto square Eris and Black Moon Lilith on her approach to the Underworld. Aquarius Mercury is slowing to station retrograde on Saturday, January 30--opening a three week window of personal revolutionary introspection.  This also marks a bit of a slow-down in the all planets direct momentum resuming with Mercury's direct station February 20 and continuing through April 27. We have divergent energies dancing in tension and harmony through the coming weeks.  With Venus moving into Aquarius on Monday, February 1, we will have the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Vesta all in Aquarius.  The  February 11 New Moon produces an extraordinary stellium of 7 planetary bodies in Aquarius.Aquarius invites detachment, zooming out to see the larger view, and a spirit-oriented perspective.  It is of benefit to take the Eagle view, to remember that beneath all of the messiness and entanglement of our human lives, emotions, triggers, and karmic patterns, we are spirit in a body and ultimately free. We also have Venus at her furthest point from the Earth as she prepares to enter the Underworld, or the beams of the Sun on February 14, invisible until about May 5, when she appears as Evening Star. Venus in the Underworld takes us to our depths even as Aquarius invites us to rise into the realms of light, spirit and our multidimensional natures. I shared in my podcast a poem recently unearthed by Lainie Love Dalby in our New Year's Retreat, a poem I wrote shortly before my Earth Sky Woman Summit and Podcast.  Enjoy the poem and the podcast and sending much love to each of you. For My Sisters and Brothers of Earth and SkyDrop beneath the surface of thingsSister, Brother of My HeartGo down to the root of yourselfSee and know it for the first timeMake a home for yourself thereVisit oftenMake an offering of your tears, words of kindness, sincere compassionAnd heartfelt joyWhen your life extends from the home root of your soul selfIt is true and strong.You will grow wings, yesYour spirit will soar, yesYet you will remain always sourced in the True Heart of LifeHere you know the thousand thingsworth knowingWhen from this place you offerYour words of griefpraiseand the sacred darklightat the center of your beingthe whole world exhalesin great reliefSky welcomes your outstretched armsMoon sings for you,remembering your lost partsAnd Stars speak to you once againin the language of kinship--lovers, sisters, brothersgrandfathers and grandmothers
