The Beginning of a New Ease

Tomorrow we are to witness another magical celestial event.

There will be a new moon, a partial solar eclipse, mercury is finally direct again with all other planets moving forward as well... what a relief! Enjoy this one because we have earned it! Did I mention there will be a meteor shower too? Amazing.

We in the western hemisphere will have to feel the eclipse rather than see it. Those in Europe, Central Asia and Africa though will be treated a beautiful crescent son. The sun mirroring the nature of the moon as she comes new, when she is at her most vulnerable. I take this as an omen, the beginning of a truce, a reconciliation between the feminine and masculine and a flowering of Divine love.

I am not sure yet what intentions I will set, but I will surely be informed by this beginning of a new age of co-operation between the sexes.

This will be my first New Moon ceremony below the Tropic of Cancer, where the cycles of the mother is more subtle. I am so connected to the rhythms of my home, how they mirror the rhythms of life. I only had to look outside my window to understand the significance of the many cosmic wheels which turn brining us this fabulous life. I miss my home.

AND... I am happy to be here in Mexico, learning. About what I am not sure yet. I just know that this is where I was led. I will understand it all soon. I know to head towards Chiapas, which is what we are doing. For now though we are going to kick back and enjoy San Blas, Nyrait. Which is where we are headed tomorrow.The perfect place to be this new moon, I know because everywhere I am in the perfect place for me to be.

Blessings to you all on this night.

Day 11 Sacred Space- Yin Yang

Hot on the tails of the blue post, I went out with my lovely friend Kimberly, had us a girls night out. Drank wine, talked about men, our relationships, all three. Got silly before even going to the restaurant, talked about flirting and how to be the womyn to the men of our post Gloria Stienem generation. We talked about how hard we work, how hard they work, how hard it can be, and how it is part of growing up.

I so love my sisters. I was afraid for a long time to really get close to other womyn, I am sure Freud would say it was because of my mother, I was much more prone to blaming things on my parents before I became a parent myself. Whatever the reason, I am really coming to appreciate more and more my lovely sisters. My beautiful mirrors, truth tellers and comrades in this crazy game of being the womyn in a world made equal for the sexes in so many ways and yet still shaky at best.

I look forward to a time where we can truly celebrating the glorious differences which make both men and womyn both exceptional and completely necessary. From the battle of the sexes to the reconciliation of the sexes, how about we shoot next for the blissful union of the sexes as a result of an understanding of the alchemy created at the point of contact between man and womyn? Sounds serious, sounds sexy, sounds worth it.
