Cosmic events – Page 4

It seems that this year is the year of the shake up and wake up in the cosmic arena. If you’ve ever heard the phrase “once in a blue moon” you’re in for a treat as August’s second full moon shines brightly in the sky. A blue moon happens every 2.7 years but if you’ve ever said “once in a blue moon” you’d like something to happen now is the time to put a miracle in motion by consciously setting your intentions.

Harness the energy of a full moon!

All full moons are packed with power and people handle this intense energy in different ways. It’s no coincidence (or surprise) that people go a little crazy during a full moon and this month there are two! In the past couple of days if you been feeling “buzzy”, there is an excitement or an unsettled feeling in your belly, you’ve had trouble sleeping or experienced vivid (or lucid) dreams, or you feel overwhelmed blame it on the energy of the full moon!

Just as the full moon lights up the night sky, so too it lights up and magnifies energies you’re working on releasing so you can move forward. If you take time to ground and set your intentions she will help you gain clarity by illuminating your path and direction. If life has felt a little out of hand this past week, have no fear the energies will begin to calm and your feet will be solidly on the ground again after tonight. A full moon can turn your world upside down or give you a boost forward. It all depends on what you do with the energy.

Consciously set your intentions!

The power of a full moon is an exhilarating time to consciously let go of fear, set your intentions and put dreams in motion for the future. There is a magical quality about setting intentions on a full moon night. What you put in motion now is carried into the universe to start the process and give you clarity in which direction to go. What better time than under the bright, beautiful light of an event that only happens “once in a blue moon”? 🙂 Every civilization, culture and many religions have some type of full moon ritual. You too can create your very own personal ritual that honors the energy of the full moon and the energy within YOU.

Have fun with it! Go out and howl at it! Stand under the night sky and embrace the energy of the moon to empower you! Bring it down to help ground you. Use it to illuminate a path you haven’t noticed before. Set dreams in motion with the intention that whatever happens it’s for the highest good of all involved. If there’s something you’ve wanted to do “once in a blue moon” now is your chance! Bring the light of the moon into you to clear out any darkness. Once you’ve created a full moon ritual for yourself don’t forget that although the moon is usually full only once a month there is magic not just once but every time in a blue moon!~Shine Your Light Debbie

Once again Mercury, the planet ruling of all forms of communication, intellect, commerce and technology, begins its retrograde phase on July 14th and continues through August 8th. Perhaps you’ve already been feeling the effects of this upcoming phase. You may be forgetful, have technology challenges or notice a lot of mis-communication. Mercury goes retrograde three times a year and in my opinion has gotten a bit of a bad rap.

Yes, there are communication issues, you shouldn’t sign a contract without checking and double checking the details (it is not advisable to sign anything during this time but if it’s unavoidable do your best to be mindful of the fine print) lest it have to be re-negotiated, and technology challenges arise at every turn but you are actually receiving a gift. Mercury retrograde gives you the opportunity to review all the details that have led you to the present moment. Take this time and use it to your advantage!

Going backwards to move forward…

How can you possibly use it to your advantage when things that were once flowing seemingly coming to an abrupt halt? Well, that’s exactly HOW you use it to your advantage! When Mercury goes retrograde you have a chance to re-visit energies and heal those things you may not know consciously are still unresolved. You might start thinking about past events, hear from an old beau or notice you are in a challenging situation very similar (or exactly the same) as something that happened in the past. When this happens, not “if” but “when”, you can heal it because you now know it wasn’t cleared up or there is stuck energy still needing to be released or resolved. With awareness this is a time clear blockages and receive a tremendous healing.

The slow down or halt of those things that were flowing nicely is also a gift. Use this time for rest and rejuvenation. Reflect on what’s been going on, how you’ve handled yourself, the choices you’ve made and go within to reconnect with your passion and spirit. Our daily lives move so rapidly that sometimes we put things on the back burner, so to speak. Review what has happened, clear the energy, forgive yourself and others then move on to plan for the creative endeavor you put away until further notice. Mercury retrograde is the “further notice”! This slow down gives you ample opportunity to fine tune, re-connect with spirit, heal and re-visit anything and everything you’ve shoved into the closet in the back of your mind. You don’t necessarily want to start anything new until after August 8 (allow one week after for the energies to settle) but you can certainly put your plan of attack on paper!

You can even use the technology breakdowns to your advantage. if your computer crashes you might just have to pick up the phone and actually speak to a human being instead of the email you were going to send. If technology goes haywire and you can’t send an important document or report, review what you were working on. You may find an error you previously missed or a paragraph that could use clarity and this gives you the chance for a complete or partial ‘do over’ if necessary. Of course we love our Facebook, Twitter and the like but if for some reason you are dis-connected from your social media, you now have the time to get connected with yourself again! You have time to meet up with a friend in person or better yet before you go out take time to meditate!

The next retrograde phase isn’t until November so while Mercury is retrograde use the time wisely and to your advantage. Take a step back, allow for a much-needed break, heal, reflect upon what you’ve accomplished and put your goals for the future in order. Take a deep breath, clear lingering blockages and let go. Review, renew, reflect, reconnect, notice where your attention has been and get your space back. ~Shine Your Light Debbie
