Alaska, Adventure & Aquarian Full Moons – Follow the Dreams No One but You Can See
Beginning tomorrow afternoon, I will be away for about half the month of August from the 7th and not back to things until the 20th. It’s time for a little “Tania” time to nurture and fuel my own needs and dreams.
While it’s so important to balance personal needs on a daily basis, I find that fully removing myself at times is necessary. And being a free-spirited explorer by heart, it’s a necessity to my soul to be an Earth and Cosmic traveler.
I’m really excited for this explorative time away, deepening into nature immersion of the great wilderness of Alaska and tuning in more deeply with myself from where I left off in Bimini supporting the group energy.
I’m greatly looking forward to connecting with our beautiful, ever-giving Mother Earth, and listening to the messages she will whisper through this vast part of the country and the untamed splendor, wonder, solitude, and grandeur she offers for exploration there. I welcome and honor this opportunity to connect with the array of her animal children and to open to the adventure this rich part of the country has to share.
There are so many animal friends to be surprised by in Alaska from land, to air, to water…I’m like a child on Christmas morning awaiting what life will unwrap during my time there.
I couldn’t ask for a more perfect reflection to tune into the raw and natural part of myself – my true voice – and to explore my own dreams to see where they guide me.
And so far it seems that Spirit has been conspiring to make this a special trip, as some really incredible synchronicities and magickal alignments have taken place to support it.
“The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.” ~Oprah Winfrey
We’ve put together a land-based adventure of Alaska, full of experiences sure to take my breath away and remind me of how when I live my dreams, that every day is awe-inspiring. And as always, I will be connecting with the collective and tuning in to energetic work I can assist on the grid.
It’s also very cool that not only will the days be filled with long hours of sunshine – currently sunrise is 5:45 am and sunset is 10:24pm – but there will be the illumination of a Full Moon during this time as well. So a lot of “light” shining and bringing to “light” things as a supportive theme partner for my journey. Not only will I see the conscious, but also the deeper, darker, unconscious, which is perfect for integration, balance, and wholeness.
Full Moon energies begin about 5 – 7 days before the actual fullness occurs, and so we are already leading into this Aquarian-sparked experience now, since the Full Moon is on the 10th. So, this can be an intense time, with closure coming to a head in any or all areas of your life, but this is in order to create a new and fresh start. Full Moons also herald greater passion to stir from within you, which alerts you to your own inner desires and aligning you with more focus and clarity for bringing something fresh into your life.
This Aquarian Full Moon is also one of three summer Super Moons that have occurred in a row, which is when the Moon is closets to the Earth. Sun is in Leo which, combined, focuses on the now, personal identity, leadership qualities, consciousness, creative self-expression and inspiration, heart generosity, and fiery self-confidence to bring things into being. While Moon in Aquarius, combined, highlights the past, intuition, unconscious stirrings, nurturing bigger picture humanitarian and altruistic expressions of service, feelings of independence, freedom, uniqueness, unconventionality and innovative vision, and rebelling into individualistic truth with determination.
So while Full Moons can turn on the emotional intensity, this is also tempered with the emotional detachment of Aquarius that helps bring objectivity and diversity to what is felt. Some people may feel like outsiders because they see differently and with rationality that comes from a place of knowing what is good for the soul. We experience a balancing that takes us through our individuality into how this translates and can be embraced as a higher and enduring soul mission in the bigger picture.
Again, this feels aligned with where I’ve felt guided to make adjustments and new choices that will tweak things into current vibrational alignment. And this involves the cultivation of dreams, which in essence are the soul service stirrings seeded within each of us.
I wish everyone a beautiful couple of weeks and a magickal Full Moon. I may post here and there when something inspires me while I’m away, but I will not be available for work during this time.
In the meantime, to support you with your own dreams, this months’ inspired special is a “Dream” challenge. You can read more about it below.
It’s been a busy first half of the year and after early September I’ll be utilizing the Fall into Winter seasonal shifts, to shift gears a bit myself and implement my current heart’s callings, as these are ever-evolving. So a little personal project time will be in store, in rhythm with the time of year’s harvesting, in order to cultivate from the stillness within.
Sometimes life is about risking everything for a dream no one can see but you.
May you walk in the power of your free will, and bask in the light of love and magick always.
Rerooting “Back In The Saddle” Of Your Authenticity with Aquarius New Moon Igniting the Year of the Horse – January 30, 2014
Artist: Susan Seddon Boulet – Aquarius
This month is quite a fully packed one that graces us with the rarity of two New Moons, as well as kicks off the Chinese New Year of the Horse, while we catapult into 2014.
What does this mean?
Tons of supportive energy on our side and the equivalent of two fresh starts! But, since I see every moment as being an opportunity for renewal, let’s just say you get an extra energetic gift in your back pocket to propel your new beginnings!
The New Moon tomorrow on January 30th is a celestial phenomenon called a Black and Super Moon – Black Moon because it’s the second of two New Moons in the same month. It’s also known as a Perigree Full Moon meaning it will appear in the sky up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than on any given day.
And so what can we say about this New Moon energy in the sign of Aquarius?
Well, you can bet there is a focus on unique expressiveness, standing in your authenticity and individuality without need for approval, yet simultaneously merging that in partnership with others for the collective highest good, tons of new seedlings that you can cultivate and envision towards the personal invention of your future reality, and a lot of stepping out-of-the-box and out of your comfort zones to go all out with your eccentric self, realizing that the more you do so, not only will you embody joy and abundance, but others will energetically answer the invite to do the same.
Phew!!
I find New Year’s resolutions, while helpful for many, are a thing to learn to incorporate into every day of your life because when you commit to progressive change, in general, you will find every moment to be packed full of powerful possibilities you don’t have to wait on implementing. So, if you have started dwindling with resolutions already, this New Moon is another powerful reminder and supportive nudge from good ol’ Aquarius to live out loud and dream a little dream into being.
This is a chance to reconnect and re-root your ideals and ideas and ride the jet propulsion of progress that Aquarius’ Air element can breathe into you – a little wind beneath your wings and a lot of inventive ways in which to implement. Your mind is keen right now in being able to have the vision, even if you aren’t yet sure about how you want to feel, and this can help you to make adjustments for actualization to take hold.
Aquarius is a free-thinker and a no-fearer so get ready to do the unusual, the extreme, and the remarkable because expansion of possibilities is available to those who aren’t limited by what society has accepted as norms. Invent a new way!
People who stretch their mind, can free their mind. And where freedom lives, is where you will thrive.
This is quite the Moon for opportunity, as there is also a Sextile to Uranus going on, which means the biggest obstacle will be yourself. So get out of your own way and pour loving support and trust into the feelings and inspirations you are, and have been, having.
Keep an eye on signs that are constantly coming at you and helping to point the way. You have all the guidance you need, if you are willing to see it. Sometimes these are subtle, but with Aquarius around, watch out for the electric!
You may receive lightning bolt flashes that will be crystal clear or loudly felt. Some will knock you around a bit to shake things up and supercharge you into action. You could even receive a little shattering charge – think Tower card in the Tarot. Opportunities will show up and offer you their helping hand or open a door, but it’s up to you to embrace the invitation and say yes to YOU.
I love Aquarius energy. I have a mom and brother who are both Aquarians and I have two strong placements in the sign of Aquarius in my astrological birth chart. I know about having strong ideals and intentions, and a bunch of quirky and surprising energy to add to the spice of life’s experiences. But when you go with these elements, rather than try to rein them in or deny them, the sky’s the limit and something exciting can be around every corner!
Extra new inspiration that can be life changing may become available to you during this energetic period around the New Moon. Things can really become illuminated and then it’s about acting on those flashes of insight received and gently hugging those fears goodbye for good.
You have the ability to really connect with your higher mind right now, so spend some time in your sacred space and in the serenity of your inner sanctum, to receive the inspirations wanting to come through. Then trust them!
Trust and faith are needed in order to create the personal security to step forward into the liberating unknown. It doesn’t come from outside of ourselves. This kind of peace comes from your own sense of self you are being guided into cultivating and expanding. We must be willing to go into our own inner mysteries and shadows to see what electrical sparks we may ignite from these courageous depths.
Be ready to try something new. Get in tune with your personal identity and how you can share your unique gifts, as service in humanitarian ways. Challenges will be solved when you look to the non-obvious, keep hope in your heart, vision focused forward, and brother and sisterhood as the friendly smile you carry in hand always.
Unconditionally detached and platonic love are focuses, with the desire to reinvent and recognize the value of friendships and community. Establish your personal boundaries so you can move with confidence in the sea of others and detach from the past and destructive behaviors that have been keeping you in the “holding zone”.
This New Moon heralding the Chinese New Year of the Horse may feel like a push to get “Back in the Saddle Again” – one of my theme and long-standing joke songs, with a meaningful message, I have ongoing with Laura Bruno. 😉
