New Moon in Aries & Mercury Retrograde by Chad Woodward *this month's special guest in the Circle

The energy that is now being cultivated provides us the opportunity to bring full balance, full equilibrium, within the psyche by the balance of our inner Adam and Eve. These two seemingly opposite archetypes, are nonetheless, the reflection of each other, and the mind is incomplete without them in union. This requires the recognition that one is not solely male or female, but rather, a balance of both.

Mercury Retrograde In Aries: Mar. 30 - Apr.23

Mercury retrograde is a natural revision time, a time where we look back and reconsider things from a different perspective. With the symbolism of Aries, and Jupiter, it seems this is providing us an expanded perception of ourselves, our self interests, and our true agendas, collectively and personally. This is a time to have your mind wide open to incoming feedback and messages, as they will have a profound effect on your consciousness. Now is not the time for defensiveness and resistance, but rather, to utilize a receptive and open demeanor, willing to listen and absorb. This is the perfect time to reconsider your current direction, where you are headed, and what possible stumbling blocks you may encounter. Read more here.

The Circle Expands

Capricorn Goddess. Watercolor on board, 8 x 10 inches © 2010 by Kathy Crabbe. It's Spring Equinox and I've done it; expanded the Creative Soul Circle to include all sorts of wonderful goodies for my Soul SiStars wanting MORE!!! More juicy content such as the brand new Moon Musing Playsheets created exclusively for Circle members, plus you can now partake in my Awaken Your Divine Feminine Soul eClass in the Circle (75. for a one month class) and receive your own personal moon chart which will help you resonate even more with Mama Moon each month.

I've got channeled Moon Musings written and dreamed by me every new moon chock-full of helpful and challenging actions, creative soul oracle guidance and affirmations to keep you on track and inspired.

Plus we've got Special Guest Q & A's beginning with astrologer Chad Woodward in April and then in May we've got Emily Trinkaus, two astrologers who have been regularly featured here on my site and much more.

If you've got a business or service you'd like to promote, then my Circle offers you a chance to be featured on my blog and in the Q & A discussion thread, so we can all get to you know you better.

And so you may ask, why am I offering all these goodies for such a reasonable price...well, it's just how things work out...I started out blogging in tune with mama moon, and after two years of offering you my moon musings, I've decided it's time to share them within a private group that can really dig into them deeply within a safe space.

My eClass just fit in so perfectly with all this, that I had to offer it too, because everything in the Circle is connected and builds upon everything else, so once you've had a small taste of moon musing, many of you wanted much more...more connection, more challenges, more quiet space without a lot of chatter or time wasting - we get right down to it every new moon.

So, there you have it and so the journey begins...and I hope you can join with me on March 19, 2011 for a Full Moon in Virgo Shared Focus Meditation so that we can come together as a virtual meditation group at the exact moment of the Full Moon to dream our dreams, and watch as our seeds of intention planted at the new moon start to flower and fruit PLUS let's not forget the Spring Equinox ...when the entire year truly begins anew...are you ready?

Equinox Musings

"The New Year is not January 1st! The new year is the Spring Equinox which occurs on March 20 (for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere) when the Sun enters 0 degrees Aries by geocentric astrology.
The Spring Equinox is the time to identify the intentions we wish to fulfill during the four seasons. Ideas correctly seeded at the Spring Equinox manifest for a year. During the Summer Solstice, the time has arrived to birth these ideas into recognizable form, like a forming fetus. The Fall Equinox is the time to flesh out, balance, and assess these creations and to weed things out that just are not working. Then the Winter Solstice is the time to enter into deep contemplation to imagine how our personal creations assist others and the planet." ~ Barbara Hand Clow

Recent Comments From Circle SiStars

*110 Soul SiStars Strong so far!*

If you're in the Circle and would like to participate in this Survey let me know ~ you'll have a chance to win Moon Delights .

I like the vibe of the non-structure, the casualness around it.  It is lovely to feel connected to like-minded women on the same path.  The spirituality of the Circle is what is different and unique."

"The musings you offer are awesome, so thought provoking and meant to shake things up, which is ideal in what the Circle has come to hold in meaning for me.

What do you enjoy most about the Creative Soul Circle?

Being able to connect with like-minded soul SiStars

Being able to talk to like-minded women that I know won’t judge me.

I enjoy the sisterhood and celebrating the little and big breakthroughs with those on a similar path.

I love that participants are so honest and open and I can hear what they have to say from deep within which isn’t available to me outside of your website.  I also enjoy the links to other sites through your Website and what I can learn from these also.

What are your favorite activities, places to visit etc?

My favorite group is definitely the moon musing group.

My favorite activity at the moment would have to be the shared focus meditations, especially New Moon and Crone.

Groups and guest contributors.

How often do you check in and what brings you back?

Mostly daily, different posts from people.

Several times a day. I keep coming back to hear what other women are thinking.

Daily when I receive news of new members to our GroupI check in at least 2 times weekly, often been drawn back by an email notification.

What makes this Circle unique?

The members.

That fact that there are women of all ages coming together to discuss topics that matter.

You - Open Ended Tough Questions - Your Warmth - Your Inspiration - Your Motivation - best served by being active within in the community.

Full & Crone Moon Memberships Coming Soon!

Put Your Strengths to Work

Ulrica. Watercolor on paper, 8 x 10 inches © 2010 by Kathy Crabbe. From the Creative Soul Card® Series: http://tiny.cc/d0rwm Abundance is...

Knowing your strengths and working from them, rather than strengthening your weaknesses.

An awesome book about discovering and implementing your strengths is titled  Go, Put Your Strengths to Work by Marcus Buckingham. His book includes the Strengthsfinder Test (an online test that requires a code from his book) to determine your top five strengths.

There are four strength domains:

  1. Relating Themes (working with people)
  2. Impacting Themes (influencing people)
  3. Thinking Themes (working smarter)
  4. Striving Themes (Working harder

My Top Five Strengths:

My top five strengths are "thinking themes" (working smarter) and a "striving theme" (working harder).

1. Ideation: fascinated by ideas 2. Input: inquisitive 3. Intellection: like to think 4. Achiever: drive and constant need for achievement 5. Learner: love to learn

My strength is in working with groups (SiStars!) online! I enjoy leading and bringing women together and I love sharing ideas with others who value those ideas. I love the energy and power of a group.

Groups I have loved:

* School (Queen's University and St. Lawrence College esp.) * Camp * Orchestras/bands * Writer's Cafe (I founded this group a few years ago) * Sawdust Festival (an art festival in Laguna Beach I was in for eight years) * My Creative Soul Circle (my online Soul SiStars!)

What has made me strong: Knowing what it feels like to be on the outside of a group and wanting instead to create a group for others who know what it feels like not to fit in. I also have a desire to be loved for who I am.

Having both parents as teachers, I saw the ins and outs, pluses and minuses of working within the traditional school system and realized that if I wanted to fit into a group, that I needed to create my own ~ the story of my life; making my own way, but with devoted friends. We go where the juice is! I've also journalled, dreamed and drawn forever, so now it's time to SHARE!

What are your top five strengths and how are you applying them to bring forth your brilliance and truly shine?
