August 8/11/16 Solar Eclipse/New Moon Magick

​
I’ve been feeling pretty awesome recently, I love me, I love being alive, I love my friends, I love where my writing is going and I’m pretty sure I will have representation soon. For me, that’s THE dream come true and I’ve been trying on that reality a lot.  Have you ever tried on the emotional reality of having something you really want? It is the most astounding feeling in the world, but there’s a double-edged sword quality to it and that double-edged sword quality perfectly captures the upcoming energy of the solar eclipse.
 
Where there is I-am-wonder-woman (wonder man) -I-can-do-anything –energy, there is also I’m-not-good enough energy. Everything contains it’s opposite, not in terms of opposing but in terms of complement. To cut one from the other for the sake of being positive is not positive at all; it reduces you to either or, I am either this or that.  Wholeness says you are both: you can be a raging bitch, (son of a bitch) and you can be the kindest, most helpful inspiring person on the planet. One does not negate the other because as I wrote earlier everything contains its opposite, not in terms of opposing but in terms of compliment. What life demands is learning right use of our feelings. Sometimes you will bump into situations that demand the no-nonsense boundary setting of a raging bitch (s.o.b.). Sometimes there will be situations that demand the mirroring qualities of the moon mother/ good father God. Containing all that we are is what wholeness is.
 
Now back to the eclipse. A great way to use this energy is to imagine/feel yourself having everything you want. Emotionally try on that reality; kick it up high, kick it up higher. Now be aware of its dark opposite.  In between the two is a needle eye opening. As you sit with the opposites; the eye is going to widen. Feel yourself slip through it to the other side. Take a breath and exhale. You may feel a little shaky, that’s okay. From this place you’re going to say the following nine times:
 
“She fades to grow
Returns to return
Seeds of beauty she sows….”
 
Then say nine times:
 
“I fade to grow
Return to return
Seeds of beauty I sow…”
 
Write down your intention(s). With this kind of energy you want to get to go for the essence of your intention, rather than the form. To do that you boil down the desire in much the same way you boil down soup to get the perfect broth. What’s do you need to get what you want? Inspiration? Courage? More love? Self esteem? Ease? Financial security? Health? Healing around someone or something in particular?
 
Then say:
 
Windows of opportunity open, open, open to me
Bring me __________ (whatever is it you want)
So mote it be.
 
Try on the emotional reality of what you want. Sit with it a bit, then say, “This is or something better,” and release.
 
Wow. Some kind of powerful huh?
I am loving all of you deeply, Kat x0x0x0
