Rumi says: “I was raw, I became ripe, I burned.”
Here we are at the transformative New Moon where we Burn. It is time to BE the human we have transformed into. It is time to BE the human we came here to be.
In a year passed with changes, our view of love, our view of work, our view of life, our view of our values, and our habits have changed. Our view of ourselves has changed. We have differentiated, inside and out. Now is the time to digest all this change.
With the love of evolution (tekamül) granted to us by the Scorpio placement and its ruler Pluto, we are burning and opening our wings to be born from our ashes.
Pluto in Capricorn reminds us of ancient wisdom, grandmother wisdoms, and our connection to the first mother. Its conjunction with Jupiter at 22 degrees said: “Add ancient grandmother wisdom to your own truth.” Draw healthy boundaries, and within these boundaries, hold on to your own truth—rooted in you, specific to you, finding meaning with you. It is time to discover the path for more wisdom, more boundaries, and more evolution. It makes a closing sextile to the New Moon; now is the time to internalize everything that has happened and increase wisdom. The New Moon’s themes of the Eagle, Kundalini, and the Moth advise us to receive this burning with sincerity, from the heart, from love, and from ancient wisdom. From here, we will take flight (Aquarius).
Mars has ended the retrograde it began on September 9th at 15 degrees. Start walking in the direction of this truth. Be love in action; move to action from love.
Align that heart of yours, which is in flames, with your most sincere, innermost desires, and with your highest truth. Anchor these for the “renewed you.” Understand that your greatest power is your capacity to love. Being able to be real to yourself. Being able to live your own truth. Draw strong boundaries and do not let anything that happens, or anyone, make you feel less than you are.
Draw your boundaries with the wisdom of your own worth; while melting into another and giving your flavor without losing yourself, let your power come from knowing yourself and delivering your own value to yourself with due right.
Know your shadows, know your storms, know your soft underbelly, and honor them. Thanks to them, your game of growth is stronger.
Mercury in Scorpio is making a 150-degree quincunx to Shaman Chiron in Aries. Time for adjustment. See your wounds, understand them, and give them meaning. Put them into words. Write them down. And believe that every word you say, every word you write, will open a door to healing.
“There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.” Let the dozens of cracks formed in your heart throughout the year now allow the light and healing to enter.
Make time for silence; take time to honor your grief and your pain. In silence, you will hear the wisdom of your heart. And as you become silent, you will connect with your kundalini. Allow every sadness coming from labeling, every need for mourning to come. Important, unimportant, “Didn’t I handle this?”, “this is small”, “this is big”, “this is old”—without saying any of that, watch your inside, watch your mind, watch your grief surfacing. Hug and kiss each one. Embrace them.
Embrace yourself, embrace what you have achieved up to this time, embrace with love, and allow yourself. Whether a surgery wound or a paper cut, pain is pain. And no pain is superior or inferior to another. Be the observer.
Believe in your inner power. The world is not coming to an end. The world was born from chaos. Light started from a chaos, and change—the new world—will come from the chaos we are living in right now. We are in this boat together, side by side and hand in hand. Every loss, every single loss we experience shows us that we are holding hands with thousands of souls right in the middle of the storm. We are here. We are here and we are together.
We are creating the new, and we are being reborn from this creation. Choose well what you will bow to and what you will rebel against. Every shadow you face, every piece you bring from the unconscious to your consciousness is precious.
You are important. Your new state of becoming is important, every particle of your light is important; you are a miracle made of particles, and every particle of this miracle supports every particle of the world’s miracle. I support you, you support me, we support each other.
May our rebirth be doors opening to goodness. May every desire in your heart aligned with your soul’s path manifest with love. May light be our companion that wraps, embraces, and warms.
With lots of love, with faith in the power of nature and light, namaste! I love you.
New Moon Mantra
I have understood what “I was raw, I became ripe, I burned” means. I see what is ending, and I accept. I see what is being born, and I allow. My burning is to be born from my ashes; I honor it. The light I allow inside is light for your path, I know.
