16. MOON

Phases, femininity, emotion

Be fluid in your feminine energy as you face the different phases in life.

Waxing or waning, Moon is in a constant state of cyclical change. From our perspective here on earth, she is always shapeshifting, moving through each phase again and again. Sometimes she is a full flowing orb in the sky, and at other times just a sliver, barely visible to the naked eye. Moon is the earth's companion in space, holding a strong influence over each other. Moon has a gravitational pull that impacts the tides, seasons and length of the days. She creates a rhythm that guides us. Moon is also a source of illumination, shedding light on a dark night. Moon's song is gentle and feminine yet undeniably powerful, a steady and repeated pattern.

The continual changing nature of Moon is a reminder that humans too pass through phases. Be fluid like the ocean, allowing Moon to guide you, drifting in and out like the tide. You are a cyclical being and the rhythms you live by are not to be fought against, but accepted and embraced. Whether you are currently full, new or somewhere in-between, honour where you are at. Be comforted in the knowledge that you will inevitably move out of this phase and into a new one when the time is right. This may also be a time of heightened emotion for you. Allow yourself the grace to feel deeply, giving each emotion the attention and presence it deserves. Be sensitive and soft and embrace your vulnerabilities. Show up with your goddess energy and be inspired by Moon.
