Hola New Paradigmers!
 

This week, I spoke about how the feminine moves and changes so much faster than the masculine, referring to Venus and Mars. They only briefly came together in Aquarius, and she is already off to Pisces! I’m sure Mars gave her a boost to head off on her journey, and I’m sure she’ll bring back some special nuggets of wisdom when she returns.

What I did not speak to and thought about on the way back after the report is the speed of Mercury! If we think Venus, Gaia, and the Moon are fast, let’s not forget the speedy changeability of our mental monster Mercury, who circles the Sun every 88 days or so! No wonder it’s hard to keep up with Gemini and Virgo! Check it out!

Mercury: 87.97 days (0.2 years)
Venus: 224.70 days (0.6 years)
Earth: 365.26 days (1 year)
Mars: 686.98 days (1.9 years)

If we want to find serenity, stillness, and peace and center ourselves in our core, we need to start by stilling our minds and then release our need to attract and attach to all the beautiful and comfortable people and things we find yummy. Then, as we slow down and let go of our Martian appetites and desires, our Lunar ups and downs, we’ll get closer to our Solar purpose, identity, and the power of our Sun. Long, slow breathing, meditation, and chanting can help get us there.

The Great Mother is asking me,

To tread lightly upon this earth,

While listening and caring tenderly,

To all that she has given birth to.

Let’s prepare for the new Moon in Pisces by quieting our minds, stilling our hearts, and practicing deep listening. The subtle messages from the great mother and all her offspring are often silent to the physical ear and need to be “sensed.” It’s a special blessing when the rocks, streams, trees, and birds bring messages.

The beautiful interplay of day and night, masculine and feminine, earth and sky, is a magical dance from which worlds are born. Let’s close this yearly cycle as the Sun, Mercury (not for long!), Venus, Saturn, and Neptune all traverse the magical mystery that is Pisces.

While I usually have an old-time rock and roll song for the week, this week, I’ve chosen a chant that celebrates the creative power of life on earth. Check out Sa Re Sa Sa, and we can all practice it on the New Moon!

And a last-minute song inspiration… El Condor Pasa (If I Could) 🦅

So Much Love,
