“To be great, be whole;
Exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is not you.
Be whole in everything. Put all you are
Into the smallest thing you do.
So, in each lake, the moon shines with splendor
Because it blooms up above.”
― Fernando Pessoa
NEW MOON in LIBRA: Oct 8, 2018 at 11:47am @ 15 degrees
LUNAR MUSING
Today’s new moon spotlights our relationships and begins a focused cycle of heart-centered connection. Coinciding with Venus Retrograde in Scorpio/Libra it’s a powerful time to reassess and reaffirm our hearts deepest desires. In esoteric yoga, Libra rules the masculine aspect of the Anahata (heart) Chakra whose primary role is to balance the scales of justice and to weigh our hearts to that of a feather.
The heart feels everything. No pain or suffering can be hidden from the hearts quiet knowing. We may deny reality or choose not to acknowledge what hurts, but each and every experience is known by the heart. Nothing can be kept secret from that which connects us to the pulse of life. When we acknowledge and reclaim those parts of ourselves that have been denied (due to fear or vulnerability) we become more unified, more whole. From wholeness, wholeness will arise.
“The little space within the heart is as great as the vast universe.
The heavens and the earth are there, and the sun and the moon and the stars. Fire and lightening and winds are there, and all that now is and all that is not.”
~ Swami Prabhavananda, The Upanishads: Breath from the Eternal
This new moon is leading us back into the heart of our core values and will create plenty of opportunities to live in grace, but mostly it offers the capacity for penetrating integration. The more whole we are the more love we contain. By denying aspects of ourselves we deny love. Love accepts everything as it is and trusts in natures way. We do not possess love, love possesses us. True power lies in our capacity to BE LOVE.
“He who is rich in the knowledge of the Self does not covet external power or possession.” ~ Paramananda, The Upanishads
Love often requires that we let go and teaches us to compromise our expectations (or desire for control) rather than comprising our truths.
“When I stand before thee at the day’s end, thou shalt see my scars and know that I had my wounds and also my healing.” ~
Wishing each of you Blessing upon Blessing for a deeply healing and clarifying lunation.
Om shanti…om peace,
