First Quarter Moon Phase: action, stepping out, expression
Moon: Capricorn
Ruling Mahavidya: Shodashi (with Matangi, The Administrator)
Today's energy enables us to stand tall with a strong connection to our family heritage in the stars. The more we are able to keep things simple today, the better it will go. Relax into the energy, keep a slow and steady pace, and trust! Wise owl Milly's photo reminds us of this today. You can't see the full picture on this banner, but you can see it here. There's a story behind the picture and it's the story of today. Milly writes:
"The Great Blue Heron was in distress, appeared to be stuck and unable to life off. The Great Egret paced back and forth. I looked on from a higher vantage point with camera in hand, as well meaning animal loves attempted to reach it. The swamp claimed a pair of boots and a retreat was made to form a better plan. A return visit with a Wildlife Conservation Officer in possession of prized hip waders turned up no Great Blue Heron in sight. Happy ending...but one pair of boots poorer."
(This is an example of the wonderful teaching, sharing, and helping that goes on in the Oracle Report Facebook community.)
I am struck by the light and dark contrast of the birds. The darker one is stuck; the lighter one guards, holds, and reflects space while the darker one frees itself. It's a perfect reflection.
The reflection comes with the Moon moving into Capricorn, making a conjunction with Pluto and an opposition to the Black Moon today. This means growing/birthing/freeing pains for everyone, but most pronounced for Capricorns and Cancers or those with the Black Moon in Cancer or Capricorn. However, this round will feel different because both Pluto and the Black Moon have moved to different degrees, so the frequency of the energy has changed. It's a bit lighter (and we will take that anytime, but especially with the Black Moon) and it is focused toward making things real. It goes behind masks or whatever is hidden. We all wear masks to some degree. In some cases, masks enable good boundaries, which are often needed to feel safe. The problem comes in when our masks (our shadow sides) are holding us back.
The Mahavidya Shodashi, Gaia-Sophia's persona as the Goddess of Beauty, Goddess Who Fulfills Highest Desire, and Goddess Who Destroys the Demiurge (chief Archon), uses the new frequency of the Black Moon and Pluto to move shadows (our own and global ones) out of the way. She does this because she is fulfilling the desire of our higher selves. Shadows hinder the effort so we are directed around them. You can visualize this like the feathery veins in a smooth wall of marble. These lines represent your trajectory in life (space-time). Shodashi reads the strokes and maneuvers us back on course by extending the line a certain way. People, places, things, situations, and circumstances change - some things leave and some things enter.
If you knew there was a divine power at work to bypass shadows and put you back in line with your soul's intended course for the highest experience possible, would you trust it? Would you believe it if you couldn't yet see the proof?
Well, the proof is already showing. We are not in a world war, which was the course we were on. If things were operating like the way they used to -same old fake story, same old horrid war - we would already be heavily embroiled with massive loss of life. This is not happening.
One other thing today: If you wrote out a wish or intention back at the New Moon phase, do it again today. If you didn't do this back at the New Moon phase, you can do it today. We have a unique alignment of energies that enhances things that are written. I want to write a special word of thanks with a wave of love to all those who have sent donations. It is heartwarming to know that people are willing to honor the old ways and support bringing the mystery teachings back to the collective.
