Capricorn Full Moon (July 21, 2024): Your Guiding Light

MOUNTAIN GOAT

The Full Moon is in Capricorn, again, and it’s as though we have come full circle from something that we were working on or involved in at the end of last month, when the moon was also in the sign of the Mountain Goat.

One of my favorite Memoirs is The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls. I am drawn to her story, as many readers are and I relate, in some ways, to her experiences. I loved that her favorite Christmas gift was the planet Venus, compliments of her dad, who, one year, when they didn’t have money for presents, took each of his kids to a spot in a field under the night sky to lay claim on her (or his) star of choice, but instead of a star Jeannette pointed to a planet and her dad agreed that, yes, Venus would be her gift. Interestingly, Jeannette is a Taurus, which makes Venus her Ruling Planet, and something of a guiding light in her life.

New Blog: Chiron in Your Natal Chart: How We Heal

How Do We Heal?

I'm not sure if we are meant to fully heal our wounds or, come to think of it, if it is even possible; after all Chiron himself (AKA The Wounded Healer) was unable to do so.

When I speak about the work I do, I place it in the context of healing: Healing through Purposeful Movement and Creative Expression.

But how do we actually heal?

Chiron, an asteroid, in the Astrology Natal Chart symbolizes the mythological hero and teacher whose work was to mentor and heal his students; the rub was that he could not heal his own wounds, at least in the version of the story I am familiar with.

Chiron in your Natal Chart symbolizes a point of irrevocable wounding, like the Achilles' Heal, and the potential to heal those wounds.

In my 4-class series for emotional balancing and creativity, we use yoga/meditative movement, pranayama (breath-work), mantras, and journaling or creative writing to free "stuck" emotions and energy 

Step 1 MOVE through emotions and release resistance.

 Step 2 BUILD a spiritual foundation (an inner home) via breath-work & commitment. 

Step 3 CREATE through the expressive arts. We need a creative outlet to make sense of and release pain or stuck emotions.
