In line with my Moon-guided #everydaymagic #ritual approach to my life, I hardly ever share here during a VoidOfCourse Moon period (a span of time, from mins to hrs, in which the Moon is drifting between a grounded presence in an astral sign) ~ but today I am too inspired *not* to share.. ~~~> Inspired by {{{LOVE}}}, inspired by perseverance, inspired by the journeys & recently-shared expression of my Insta-sisters @jupiterlala, @vegajewelry, & @nikiyaschwarz, inspired by the healing & rejuvenating & higher-self flow of the nearly-Full Moon with Jupiter & now the Moon’s North Node, inspired by the approaching 100th anniversary of Ireland’s Easter Uprising, inspired by what I KNOW to be the radiant potential of my kindred many-layered human race. Please, as people may spin out from grief into blame or pity or aggression (all understandable, yet all with the same root: acting from fear) letting deep sadness morph into dualistic ideas of who’s good vs who’s bad re: peeps who feel so lost & oppressed & confused they think terrorism is the only way out ~ today & this week: stay grounded, stay in touch with the {{{HEART}}}, stay connected to realistically-positive & visionary understanding that this is a growth period & we can SO do this. Getting waylaid by acting from fear is human, yet in this Eclipse portal WE CAN BE SUPERHUMAN & move through this to embodiment of everydaymagic regardless of circumstance, to the embodiment of being true #worldcitizen-s 💪🏽💞☮🌍🌏🌎🙏🏽🆙🔜🔘🌔🌝✨

{{When the Moon’s so bright, the dark sky turns blue; when a planet stops by to help our dreams come true..}} ~~~> ASTRO-NOMY x ASTRO-LOGY ~ Lady Luna approaches its Penumbral Eclipse early in the morning (EDT) on Wednesday the 23rd, & tonight the waxing gibbous visits Jupiter, blessing our healing & optimistic vision, & reassuring us that through all our dedicated effort our path to success & abundant wellbeing & is truly happening, is unfolding. With communicative Mercury now in warrior(-of-peace), leading force Aries 20:18 EDT, joining & emphasising our willpower & life-essence the Sun, encourage & support the healing capacity of this Jupiter-Moon heavenly duo tonight with some #everydaymagic #ritual of positive self-talk, grounded affirmation, & continuing a lively & active, yet gradual, arc of our emergence, expansion, & of becoming our truest & highest selves. We have time. We are inherently enough. We can bring joy to the journey. We are bright sparks ~ & guess what? We can handle it! Have a wonder-full night, light-beings xox 💭🌬💫🌔👐🏽💘🙏🏽🌌💠🌱

Don’t let the difficulties of life ((ECLIPSE)) your wisdom-being ~ shine on from the inside out & >>))BLOOM((<< from your innate core of radiance: jasmine-flower green tea #everydaymagic #ritual in the Sun the other day, reminding me to keep blossoming even in ‘hot water’ 🔘🔜🔃🌚🆕🙏🏽🍵🌱💫🌸

“When we come together, women from around the globe, joining forces of our power & radiant love, purely magical things are possible. This is more than a desire for things looking pretty & cultivating mere surface ease; it’s a true dedication to digging in, connecting across boundaries of class, race, gender-norms, size, shape, age, romantic-orientation, ability, life-background, & even across country & continent borders, reaching out an active hand to new friends, our chosen-sisters, to connect & share our gifts & our hearts, & to start feeling ~ truly feeling on a deep, gut level ~ that we really are mirrors for one another to be SEEN, HEARD, ACKNOWLEDGED, LOVED. […] The circle of ‘WE’ expands & there is no 'US’ vs 'THEM’.. Always working towards greater active inclusion & respect, that all women of every walk of life may feel their true strength & beauty reflected back to them, in an uplifted & kindred form.”

#Sacred #LunarEclipse portal ~ a flashback to a #ritual from the 1st in this ‘lunar tetrad’, a Connemara bayside communion & contemplation of the grounded & the cosmic. Ease & blessings, light-beings, as we approach & weather tonight’s astral-storm 💫🌿✖🔘✖🌿💫

The sky opened, a wide, wise expanse of #healing & #renewal, magnetic purple, fiery fuschia, & pale Maxfield-Parrish-blue streaking the horizon.. the Jewish New Year & the beginning of a fresh cycle. Slowly, we are learning to trust in the timing of the Universe, to notice & believe in coincidence, to rejoice in the harmony that is abounding in this magickal, sensitive space between eclipses. May we pass with ease from one cycle to the next, full of love, & with the glow of this radiant watercolour sky 🔃🙏🙇🔮💓🎉🌞🔘🌝✨

This phase: such an exhausting one ~ energetically, physically, emotionally ~ but still ever-grateful for this #JupiterInVirgo time of #healing & #renewal. Sometimes the Universe is painfully thorough in its cleansing. Sometimes the initial clear-out is so definite, & is more severe than we’d have thought or might have preferred. Yet, often (fingers crossed for this time), it all opens to a wider expanse, a space to move & breathe more easily, room for abundance to visit & stay for a while.. & sometimes a full day in studio-mode spent communing with my fiberart friends, a fervent dance in the side yard just before twilight, & a oil-pastel sky like this ~ well, it’s #everydaymagic, it’s a gift, & it’s all quite enough 🔮➿💠☁💫💝➰

Great swaths of rain yesterday, healing waters joining Heaven & Earth.. These are the beginning days of abundance & fruition, of rejuvenation of the spirit ~ 13 months of #JupiterInVirgo, 13 months of soothing & blossoming from a grounded place. May this next new phase of contentment bring a profound yet easy healing, & a path full of the riches of the vast Universe. Thank you, Great #Goddess, for your watery & earthy #DivineFeminine love, your gentle & spacious touch of #magick, & the tender way you let us know we can do this ~ this path called life. The sea is held in each droplet of sky-water. The energy of the Earth’s liquid cycle visits us on its circular way around, bringing clarity & hydrated wisdom to our lives. When the storm is over & the clouds part.. windows in the sky, portals to the cosmos reminding us we are bits of stardust ~ #asabovesobelow ☁🌀🆕🔃♍💆🙌🙏💓💰🌟💫

Floaty vintage fabrics & dappled late-afternoon sunlight on green.. A fire-escape moment of linen & thin cotton out to dry ~ usable #fiberart fluttering in the breeze, calming & full of beauty in its simplicity. These are the subtle bits & pieces of the #SacredHearth, tiny & ordinary yet so significant in their #everydaymagic {{they’re also bits & pieces of an upcoming collab, explorations in #slowcraft & #slowliving ~ come back & visit here tomorrow for more about what @rrrellis & I have up our sleeves}} 💭☁💫🌾👐🌸🚩➰🔜
