We are in the First Quarter Moon Phase right now. The First Quarter Moon Phase is a time when half of the moon’s face is lit up.
Are you lit up?
The daylight hours are increasing; hours of darkness decreasing. When we start to get ready for bed around 6:30pm I can see the light of the moon reflecting into the night. It’s almost like a little added extra in the early evening – a lagniappe, as they say in NOLA.
During this time it’s common to feel lit up, as the moon is. Energy may increase, you may feel called to make a decision or take action. If seeds were planted, or wishes made, during the New Moon, this is the time when they’ll start to rattle, shattering the husk of the seed and reaching for light.
If you didn’t make New Moon wishes, you can go back (or Re:Set) to previous intentions (or Re:Solutions).
Was there external resistance? Did things get a little challenging? Did you crumple and decide to take a break?
OK. That’s normal. But what are you going to do about it?
While doing my Morning Pages today, a thought bubbled up: How much time do you think you have?
Oh my goodness, if that isn’t a kick in the pants I don’t know what is.
I have grey at my temples. Gravity is having its way with the Twin Skin around my belly. My bum knee isn’t bouncing back the way it once did.
How much time do you think you have?
If you believe in reincarnation, then I suppose you can rest at peace. You have this one and many many more to develop your soul and spiritual sides though that doesn’t mean you should throw in the towel, give up, or procrastinate on the dreams or goals that arose in you during this lifetime.
But if you don’t believe in reincarnation, then what are you doing? Can you look at yourself in the mirror, aligned spirit, mind, and body, and agree that you’ve done all you wanted to do and there is nothing more? Have you fulfilled all yearnings, desires, and dreams?
I know I haven’t.
But Life is what happens when you are busy making plans. Children, or you, get sick. Businesses get sold or fail. People get married or die. Garbage needs to be taken out, dishes washed, toilets cleaned, floors mopped.
But there’s got to be more than that. There has to be a heartbeat, a thread, an ambition or flight of fancy that gets you up and gets you doing. Do you know what it is? Or do you believe that those days are behind you? You’re too old, too tired, too poor, (too afraid) to dream again.
I know. Me too.
But there has got to be more than helping with Spanish homework and walking the dog, taco night, and movies. I didn’t come this far to only come this far. I need the rush and thrill of the roller coaster again. I’ve got to climb.
So I’m pursuing and persisting.
I’m putting together a Spring Equinox 6-week program – Re:Fresh.
What do you think? REady to join me?
