Open Your Heart: Full Moon in Leo

Leo Goddess by Kathy Crabbe Breathe deeply and allow this Full Moon to wash over you. In our astrological charts the moon represents the mother and where we feel most comfortable emotionally. What feels like home to you and how do you turn a house into a home?  Take a moment to contemplate what this means for you.  If you know what sign your moon is in then add that knowing to the mix as well.  If you need help finding the moon in your birth chart then check out my Moon Charts here.

I happen to have a double Aquarius Moon (ie. my Moon is in the sign of Aquarius in the 11th house, the Aquarius house). I feel at home in groups and with friends and I'm also just fine being by myself doing 'so called' odd or unusual things such as what I'm doing here on this blog! I love meditating in groups --- the energy feels more intense and awesome.  I love learning in groups especially when the teacher thinks creatively or better yet CHANNELS the class material on the spot which is something I like to do for my  classes; that way each class is unique and hopefully transformational.

Caava Kicks Butt by Kathy Crabbe

Full Moon in Leo Oracle Card: Caava Kicks Butt

Time to sink, sink, sink into your subconscious. It's Mercury Retrograde right now so it's not time yet to move forward (wait until Feb. 11 or better yet wait until the Mercury shadow period is over and we're entering the Spring Equinox on March 20.)

This moon is gonna be a deeply felt and intensely emotional moon so be kind to yourself now.  Take time to connect and reach out to extended family or friends you haven't spoken to for a while; perhaps contact a medium to connect with an ancestor who has passed over or put in a dream request to 'see' them again.  It's time now to ask for guidance and healing from friends, your guides or the Divine.

This Full Moon is also very close to the holy day of Imbolc (Candlemas) which marks the half way point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox on the Wheel of the Year. This usually occurs around Feb. 2, but this year it technically falls on Feb. 4.  Traditionally this is a time of initiation, a time of quickening and a time when farmer's ewe's (sheep) began to lactate (the Gaelic word for ewe's milk is "oimelc").  Imagine taking that first long drink of fresh ewe's milk --- take the time to really savour it, then give your imagination free reign.

Behold by Kathy Crabbe

Lefty Oracle Card for the Immediate Future: Behold

Imagine yourself one year from now. What do you see? Jot down a few things.

I imagine all of us being in tune with ourselves more and more, just as we stay in tune with the New and Full Moons through these blog posts. Our intuition is stronger and we know what we need to be healthy, whole and holy. We love with all our hearts, we garden, we grow and we bake creatively. We do our part and we touch others on an energetic level. We also make time for rest and we find solace in our spirituality and in nature.

Gemini Full Moon ~ Pink Sweater Cuddle-Party

Relax...Calm...Quiet...Peace This is what I'm most in need of now and I bet you are to!

So, to celebrate this Gemini Full Moon, instead of a Geminian mindblast (all in good fun, of course) we're going to use our minds to induce calm. How does that sound? p.s. The material within this post was all channeled specifically by me for this Full Moon and if you're interested in experiencing the Body Movement Challenge pls. sign up for my free Facebook Circle here.

Blessed Mama Earth Balls ~ Happy Full Moon in Taurus

Dear Creative Soul, It's the Full Moon in Taurus; an earthy, lusty, fixed sign that just loves life's luxuries.  This Full Moon I am feeling guided to share something personal since Taurus does so love to get down and dirty; hands in the muck so to speak, and I do hope you join me!

To start things off I pull a card from my Creative Soul Deck (aka my 'lefty' deck) for guidance.

Ali by Kathy Crabbe (Creative Soul Card)Creative Soul Guidance: Ali

Affirmation: I believe in me

Ali, with the world on her head is a seeker and a finder of ways to help and serve human-kind; a heavy weight indeed, but loaded with joy and blessings as well.

Where are you guided to serve? And do you serve already, or if not do you have any wishes and dreams for serving/helping others?

As for me I've been a spiritual and intuitive artist for many years and I just love to share that with others through my writing, my art, my blog, my creative soul readings, my classes etc.

Creative Soul Challenge

In what ways could you better serve others and yourself in the process? How will you begin to serve or continue with what you're already doing?

I do pretty well in this regard, but I am also interested in public art projects which beautify sad and neglected places and help heal broken hearts and souls in the process. I am looking into a public art commission in Riverside County as well as reading an inspirational book by Lily Yeh called "Awakening Creativity: Dandelion School Blossoms".

O Brave Soul you have traveled far to the Moon, to La Lune, to the Moon Oh Brave Soul who has known pain sadness and gloom Lift up your arms and shout, "I am here and I rise and I fall with Your tides and I am beautiful as are You." Blessed be.

ABOUT KATHY

Kathy Crabbe is a Creative Soul Guide, artist, author and educator. Originally from Canada, Kathy currently lives and works in the wine country of Temecula. Kathy created the Awaken Your Creative Soul class after spending 7 years drawing a Creative Soul Deck using her non dominant left hand. This awakened Kathy’s intuitive, creative soul in new ways and inspired her to help others follow their dreams. Since then Kathy has given over 1000 intuitive readings using her Creative Soul ‘lefty’ deck as well as teaching at the Wise Woman University. Her art has appeared in galleries, museums, magazines and on HGTV. Kathy formed a writer’s group in Temecula to share her ‘lefty’ art and poetry which she also published in a zine featuring local writers.  Kathy and a life sized Lefty were invited to speak at an International Women’s Day event in Los Angeles that the LA Times dubbed “self esteem boosting” which was almost as dreamy as hearing her favorite song performed by Michelle Shocked in the background as she spoke.

 

 

Finding the Power Within ~ Aries Super Full Moon

It's the Aries Full Moon on Oct. 8th and it's gonna be intense so, as usual I've channeled a Creative Soul Challenge based upon a card chosen from my Creative Soul Deck along with a Gemstone Healing Song to be sung by the light of the full moon. I've also channeled a Creative Soul Body Challenge which I'll be sharing with my Creative Soul Circle; my Facebook group that you are welcome to join. Full Moon in Aries ~ October 8, 2014 ~ 3:50 am Pacific time

Creative Soul Challenge ~ How to find the power within

Whether we have power, are seeking power or are power-less; we all have the power of choice. Will we choose life or death? And if death chooses us, do we choose to die gracefully or kicking and screaming; resisting every step of the way?

No path or choice is inherently right or wrong; it's your choice. So how can you be of service to others who are making hard choices?

This Aries Full Moon we are being challenged to examine one hard choice we've had to make that felt out of our control and to ask ourselves: "Why did it feel that way?"

Let yourself meditate upon this choice for a while before responding. Then write out a strong affirmative statement proclaiming all you've learned and been blessed with due to making this hard choice.

Full Moon in Aries Healing Gemstone: Fire Opal

fire opal

Song of the Fire Opal

My love is in bloom

for You for You

I pray to La Lune

for You for You

I sing this tune

for You for You

My breath, my heart, my soul, my gifts

for You for You

I am transfixed

for You for You

transformed

for You for You

Blessed to Be

for You for You

just me

more me

me me meeeeeeeeee...

Take a look now at the intentions you set at the New Moon (Sept. 23). How have they blossomed? If you didn't set intentions, what is coming to fruition for you right now?

With this Full Moon occulting (very very close to) Uranus and trining Uranus, Mars and Jupiter along with a Lunar Eclipse and Mercury Retrograde, we are stripping away facades, going deep within and seeking inner truths about ourselves and our creative fire.

How can "Fin", this month's Full Moon card assist you with that? Ask Fin right now.

Fin by Kathy Crabbe (Creative Soul Card)

Creative Soul Card: Fin

Fin's Song

This is the end, my friend

You

who stand tall and true

You

who chooses to be true

to you, you, you.
