2020 has started with a very different energy! For some it has started with a bang, a rush of energy, an influx of creativity.

2019 was a huge year of change for many people - and change that came with a sense of heaviness, difficulty, and even despair.

In contrast to 2019 there is more lightness to our year to come…

The void of everything, anything and nothing.

Silence, whispers, the roar of the ocean.

Here, where all places meet.

Imagine a beautiful picture created by billions of pixels - some parts in focus, some unfocused; some in light, some in darker shades.

Each one of those pixels is a world of its very own, with its own unique picture. When the individual pixels become clearer, the entire image begins to gain greater resolution.

Anyone else think there is phenomenal transformation happening? A huge rising up at all levels: social, environmental, personal and political.

Perhaps my historical view is a little too short, and there have been many moments like this before. Or perhaps the climate emergency is fueling an under-swell of existential tension.

Did you catch a moonbeam?

Did you feel her shine into the deepest parts of your heart and life?

Now, we are alight in places where the light had not reached before, and there’s no going back.

It was only a matter of weeks ago that I was in a group discussing the Kintsugi pottery of Japan - the beauty of cracked and broken pots and crockery lovingly restored to something more beautiful than they were before.

This full moon is both the illumination of our broken or vulnerable places, and the opportunity to shine a light between the cracks. What we have thought of in the past as our shadow, becomes our greatest asset and unique offering to the world.

As we sit on the cusp of July 16th’s full moon and solar eclipse, we may be feeling both anticipation and apprehension.

There have been many changes happening in our lives, and the full moon and eclipse is like the gateway to the next stage. What do we find as we stand upon the threshold?

The creative and destructive forces of the cosmos are always at play. Life and Death, and all of their sub-personalities.

We see them in external clues like seasons: in the flowering of the spring and the letting-go-leaves of autumn. We see them in the births and deaths within our own families. And within ourselves there exist the same forces - of letting go and of welcoming the new.

We have been experiencing a great deal of change, both in our outer worlds and deep within our inner worlds.

This is collective too - as political upheaval and environmental instability rock various parts of the globe - and we are called to do our part in finding our way back to harmony.

We are experiencing a huge wave of change right now - kick-started at the beginning of March by Uranus shifting into Taurus for its next seven year cycle, and certainly amplified by the huge winds here in the UK. It feels like everything is changing.
