Back in December 2013, I specifically chose the new moon of the 26^th / 27^th July 2014 to re-launch the Candylwood Online Book & Chocolate shop. I picked this auspicious day because of the powerful creative force surging through a plethora of favourable planetary influences. The date of this gorgeous New Moon - 26th July, 2014 at 22h43 (GMT).

     A few days before the New Moon, and just moments before the Sun entered its very own kingdom of Leo, it held hands with the planet of abundance, growth, expansion, understanding, truth, generosity of spirit and beneficial gain – the magnificent Jupiter. Together they crossed the threshold of Leo to join the Moon in her moment of newness. A pretty picture indeed, one that marks a cycle of experiences in which we discover the following qualities:

 

·       The bringer of warmth and love to relationships, families, personal & work situations.

·       Ability to step beyond all that is known and comfortable into unfamiliar terrain with trust and the thrill of adventure.

·       Bursting with the chance to stretch into a bigger version of ourselves.

·       Discover how to express love in ways not voiced before and move relationships onto an entirely new level.  

·       A positive, inspired force of life and the ability to express this force in an expansive way in matters of personal importance.

·       This cycle is great for choosing a specific task / dream / project – focus on it, dream about it, love it, visualise its possibilities and then become totally immersed in it, take action and drive it into life. Think it, feel it, and do it as much as possible during the next year.

·       Use fire, the element of passion and love to creatively resolve problems, cleanse the unsavoury and sort out ongoing malevolent issues. Then soar to new heights.

·       Learn a little more about ourselves, but not in a back-breaking kind of way, rather with a sense of humour and fond teasing of our ‘not so fabulous’ behaviour.

·       Ability to tolerate the irritating behaviour of another or an impossibly difficult set of circumstances.

·       Protect what must be preserved and change what is no longer valid.

·       Ability to survive an emotional trauma, pick ourselves up and start again.

·       Abundance – of life, love, understanding and wealth.

·       Courage to stop following the path of others, pick up the reins and lead the way forward with belief and trust.

·       Enjoy this thrust of vitality and personal authority with greater self-confidence.

·       Use of the personal will to push through resistance.

·       Tap into life’s gift of genius and use it in a way that is personally relevant.

·       Spend time on something that is close to the heart, something we absolutely love.

·       Expand our thinking beyond petty judgements & blame and explore more expansive options.

·       Understanding trumps cantankerous impatience and ego-driven selfishness.

·       Wise guidance is issued in the nick of time before taking rash, hasty action – the kind driven by anger.

·       Express truth.

·       Express appreciation.

·       If adequate care is taken and a path of less foolishness followed, this influence of fortunately timed-action results in the furthering of a personal position or a project in the most beneficial of ways.

 

Of course this cycle has a shadow, a dark side that has to be addressed, but I am not in the mood to dwell on it. I simply do not want to dilute this creative force of life, this happy feeling, this surge of love and warmth that penetrates our consciousness. Naturally the sabotaging shadow is there and is valid but it just does not get any attention or focus in this blog.

One thing is for certain, this is a time to feel good – about ourselves, our relationships and the world in which we live.

With love for the creative force of life,

Sharron.
