Following the Moon:

Luna See, Drozda, ink on Bristol, 2012

Welcome to Following the Moon... This week we begin the 'Illumination' Moon which visits us each year during the Moon of June. This New Moon began on Sunday, May 20, in the early evening (EDT). Perhaps you were able to witness the extraordinary 'ring of fire' solar eclipse.



This is a great time to set your Art/Life creatively ablaze for the 6 Moon/Months ahead. From the Equinox in March through the Equinox in September the primary creative quality is 'masculine action'...step up...step out...act...assert...it's completely natural to get a move on now. What would you like to have sizzle into your creative expression between now and November? Keep a journal...track the steps you need to take.


In June, with the Gemini Moon, you can be natural and seek to expand. Each New Moon provides space for a vision. Start with a vision that can expand your mind. This is a great Moon/Month to continue the active push that is expected at this point of the year. Move yourself forward and notice how qualified you are to create the work of beauty, goodness and care that only you can bring into the world.


The New Moon, and your opportunity to visualize your genius, continues through Thursday, May 24 and then opens to the Crescent Phase in the late evening. At the Crescent Phase (which extends through Monday afternoon, May 28) it's time to do your research focusing on your 'Illumination' vision.

Following the Moon: Each Heart is a World

Journal Page, Drozda, 2010

The January cycle continues the turning inward of the Winter season. Even though the days are lengthening and the pull of the year is exerting itself on each of us, the Wheel continues to offer space for deep inward connection.


Introspection is a major component of the Art/Life no matter what the season. I tend to see this point in the calendar year as pendulum-like. There's a swing from 'where you've been' to 'where you're going' and you recognize that you're actually in an in-between state.
You're chomping at the bit one minute because it's the New Year and there are all these new dreams, visions and goals. Yet the natural energy is saying be quiet, continue to rest, relax, snuggle deeper into your womb-cave, hibernation is not yet complete. No wonder you may feel 'out of sorts and uneasy'. There's an undercurrent.

Think of the inland rivers and streams. In January the ice is thin. We can peer beneath the frozen surface and see the water's current is increasing as the melt begins. How is your Art/Life mirroring this state?

for August entry of the Lunar Calendar 2010

I am sleeping under the stars and wandering among the wildflowers and the Tall Ones along the streambed.

I will continue journeying during this Trust cycle...perhaps by next Monday/Moon Day there will be a new post and the 'Big reveal' ;-)
...perhaps.

Until then ...Merci33 ( Thank you, All is Well) and I am so happy that we will resume our communications soon...I have so missed visiting you in blog land.
