What happens when the sun and moon are in opposite signs? A full moon! ⁣ ⁣ With the sun and mercury rX in Scorpio we’ve been exploring our own depths. Shedding our our former selves so we may unfurl anew. Perhaps old wounds, grief, or shadow behaviors have risen to the surface of our consciousness inviting us to lean into our own self healing through emotional honesty. ⁣ ⁣ It can be an exhausting cycle; however, the full moon in Taurus lightens the atmosphere, and shows us the value in taking the deep diver, is the return home to ourselves. ⁣ ⁣ Full moons represent a completion, an ending, or a culmination of something hard earned. ⁣ ⁣ Celebrate this celestial dance by giving in to what gives you pleasure. ⁣ ⁣ Do what feels good. Eat chocolate, make love, slow down, savor the moment, and take time to really enjoy yourself. ⁣ ⁣ It’s a marvelous night for a moon dance, honey. The full moon is exact Nov 12 8:34 EST
There’s no one like you, no one. 💫
“The wild nature pours out endless possibilities, acts as a birth channel, invigorates, slakes thirst, satiates our hunger for the deep and wild life. ⁣ ⁣ Wild Women’s river nurtures and grows us into beings that are like her: life givers. ⁣ ⁣ As we create, this wild and mysterious being is creating us in return, filling us with love. ⁣ ⁣ We are evoked in the way creatures are evoked by sun and water. ⁣ ⁣ We are made so alive that we in turn give life out; we burst, we bloom, we divide and multiply, we impregnate, incubate, impart, give forth.” ⁣ ⁣ | Clarissa Pinkola Estés -Women Who Run With the Wolves |
Scorpio takes nothing at face value and neither does this new moon. ⁣ ⁣ ☾⁣ ⁣ Like a snake shedding its skin, something from deep within impels us to move beyond outdated, outworn , or old phases of life. ⁣ ⁣ This cycle encourages us to surrender all that we have adorned ourselves with, to lay down all the jewels we wear to identify ourselves, all that we pretend to be to protect ourselves. ⁣ ⁣ Scorpio demands we leave our pretentious cover ups at the door if we are to take the deep dive into ourselves.⁣ ⁣ ☾⁣ ⁣ Our first reaction may be to run full force in the opposite direction or dig our heels in the ground as an attempt to stay securely rooted on the surface, but with Uranus opposing this new moon, it is likely something that is rotten within us will be shaken, stirred, and poured before us into a crystal clear chalice. ⁣ ⁣ Meeting the dark sides of our nature can be intense, unpleasant even, yet it opens the doorway for transformation. ⁣ ⁣ In being attentive to and finding acceptance for pain, crises, and the life/death/life current, we allow healing to work, growth to occur, and potent truths to be revealed.⁣ ⁣ ☾⁣ ⁣ Scorpio knows the value in reducing itself to nearly nothing in order to transmute and reintegrate with a masters degree in self knowledge and wholeness. ⁣ ⁣ Just as the trees let go of their leaves yet remain alive -we too meet seasons of our lives where we feel stripped or restructured entirely. ⁣ ⁣ It is when we are completely bare we meet a part of ourselves that is always there, that sustains us when all else has fallen away.⁣ ⁣ ☾⁣ ⁣ Scorpio lives life by the bones, banishing illusions to align with truth, destroying one form, knowing another will arise from the ash or essence of the last. ⁣ ⁣ This is the season where veils are thinned between ego and essence, truth and illusion, conscious and unconscious, spirit and matter. ⁣ ⁣ Scorpio shows us it’s not all so separate so long as we aren’t afraid of the dark.⁣ ⁣ ☾⁣ ⁣ What needs to be transformed or destroyed for a more evolved version of yourself to emerge and unfurl?⁣ ⁣ Full article on victorialise.com | link in bio ⁣ ⁣ ☾
More Than A Feeling
How often do we look at ourselves seeing only pure beauty? ⁣ ⁣ Do we know our flaws better than we know who we are without them? ⁣ ⁣ Are we offended by our own nature and nature herself?⁣ ⁣ ...we look at ourselves and chastise cellulite, stretch marks, visible veins, folds, and whatever other ‘imperfections’ we see. ⁣ ⁣ Deeming ourselves less than, casting off our self acceptance, and settling further into insecurity. ⁣ ⁣ Insecurities that are grossly profited off of.⁣ ⁣ But when immersed in nature do we pick apart her every texture? ⁣ ⁣ Do we criticize the veins in rocks or the shapes of the trees? ⁣ ⁣ Do we think the oceans ripples are repulsive or the way in which a river carves a canyon to be anything less than extraordinary? ⁣ ⁣ Are the mountains too old, too wide, too tall, or not enough? ⁣ ⁣ Are sunrises and sunsets too sultry? ⁣ ⁣ And What If The Trees Wore Clothes?⁣ Wouldn’t that be odd? Wouldn’t that be unnatural?⁣ ⁣ We have become so separate from what we are. ⁣ ⁣ We look at nature in wonderment yet we’re often blind to our own reflection within natures divinity.... ⁣ ⁣ What would shift if we looked at ourselves with eyes wide in wonder?
