25. LUNAR WATERS

LIVING BY THE MOON. NATURAL RHYTHMS. GRACEFUL FEMININE FLOW.

I tune into the cycles of the Moon. I honour the natural ebb and flow of energy.

The Divine Mother smiles upon us as the beautiful crescent moon. From her mouth, a cascade of light codes pour into the ocean, fertilizing it with nourishment and wisdom. Since time immemorial, her silvery grace has been guiding the steady evolution of life on Earth.

As our closest celestial companion, the gravitational pull of the Moon determines the length of day and the seasons. Without her gentle influence slowing Earth's spin, raging winds would have ravaged the planet. Her hypnotic dance draws the tides, distributing nutrients throughout the oceans.

As the tuner of natural rhythms, the Moon shares an intrinsic link with all life on Earth. Her breath cradles our reproductive cycles and rouses our inner ocean - after all, our bodies are 80% water - the tides of our emotional and spiritual energies follow this magnetic push and pull during the lunar cycle. The potency of her light can inspire poetry or lunacy.

This card encourages you to explore a feminine way of living, by flowing with the Moon and other natural cycles. New Moon is a time of gestation and rest, when energy ebbs and we plant hopeful seeds of intention. We gain momentum as the waxing crescent begins to swell. Full Moon amplifies everything, which makes it a potent window for manifestation. As lunar light wanes to balsamic, it is auspicious to complete projects and release what no longer serves our highest good.

You may also find moonbathing - basking in moonlight - to be grounding and healing. This ancient practice replenishes our feminine energy, restores our internal cycles and opens our intuition to receive psychic downloads. Refer to the Ritual Work chapter in this book for more inspiration.
