December New Moon Wisdom + Creative Ritual

---

The December new Moon arrives just as Thursday, the 7th begins. At 00:21 MT, the new Moon in Scorpio and Jyestha nakshatra occurs, inviting in a new cycle of depth, awareness and shadow work. Mercury goes direct just before the new Moon, supporting forward momentum with the mind, communications, commerce and imagination. Moon joins Jupiter, Mercury and Sun in Scorpio at the time of emptiness. The emphasis is on release, diving deeply within the inner terrain and harvesting depth and insights in the coming days and weeks.

The mental and emotional bodes are a particularly important focus in the cycle ahead- as is increasing life force energy. Themes of dharma- alignment with your divine purpose- is sparked in the weeks ahead. Pay attention to resources and insights that arrive to support your clarity and vision. Are you stepping into your power, or away from it? Are you willing to move closer to your depths or resisting what lies below the surface?

As the Moon empties and is considered Amavasya (the last phase of the dark half), it travels through the portion of the sky ruled by Indra. Jyestha is a constellation connected to the powerful king of the gods. As the god of the gods, Indra is supremely aligned with dharma and right action. He expresses powerful leadership capabilities and the ability to wield his weapon of choice, the thunderbolt.

The king of the body is prana, or life force energy. Without prana, there is no life. All of the senses can be gathered, unified and aligned through prana. From a Vedic perspective, negative though patterns are known as the asuras (demons) within, while the devas (gods) are considered positive thoughts within the body. Through skillful use of prana, integration, alignment, and balance can occur with the positive and negative qualities within. Essentially, light and dark forces can be unified, supporting wholeness, or yoga. 

The coming cycle requires skillfulness with your mind, as well as attention to use of your life force energy. Acknowledging your relationship with inner power is paramount. What is your relationship with your inner power, your life force energy? Are you in right relationship with your power and purpose? Or are you misusing your power and letting it dwindle?

Dharma is right action, alignment with your highest purpose, the soul's reason for incarnation. Each one of us has a entirely unique journey and a completely different dharmic journey. Being in right relationship with your dharmic path requires a willingness to heal, transform and grow, while leaning into your shadows and challenges along the way. There is no higher purpose than dharma, as it supports your awakening and the awakening of others simultaneously.

These are the signs that you are not aligned with your Dharma. Listen to my FB Live class about Adharma.

The cycle ahead is an invitation to take a deep dive into your subconscious and unconscious terrain. Deepen your breaths. Honor your darkness and your light. Hold both your grief and your joy. As you move closer to your depths, invite your shadows and the parts of yourself that you may be resistant to seeing your wholeness. Scorpio requires depth and going beyond the surface. Are you willing to face your own darkness, so you can see the light?

Creative Ritual

This is a powerful time of year to bring attention to closure and openings, release and letting go.

As the calendar year comes to an end, it's a good time to acknowledge what you are releasing and what needs to be let go of. This is preparation for the opening to come.

Are you currently in alignment with your passions and purpose?
Are you feeling disconnected from your inner power and soul's work?
What needs to be released in order to make space for your dharmic path to unfold more easily?

Lean in closer and use my dharmic resources below to align with your highest potential.

Use the resources below to activate and align with your dharmic path.

These resources are From my Dharma Foundations Course and will only be available for a short time.

Six Steps to Awaken Your Soul's Purpose:

 Step #1: Planting Seeds
 
Step #2: Gathering Resources

Step #3: Overcoming Your Challenges 

Step #4: Transforming Struggles

Step #5: Creating Your Vision

Step #6: Making Your Dharma Real

REMEMBER.....

When your voice isn't heard, when your gifts are never shared, when your power is never fully activated....where does your soul's purpose go?

What happens when your dharma is never offered to this world? When it is never fully awakened within you? When you refuse to change, heal and transform, so that you can rise and shine? When you never even step onto your dharmic path!

This is called Adharma (that which is against dharma). It is the root cause of all suffering in this world. It is pain that is self-induced. Don't neglect your path. Don't avoid your inner wisdom. Don't negate your power, purpose and passion.
