How to Find Your Place in the World: A Virgo New Moon Blessing

New Moon Reading
Channeled by Kathy Crabbe
for the New Moon in Virgo
Sept. 9, 11:01 am PDT

Virgo is all about the small things - the details - often overlooked. This is the energy we'll be attuning ourselves to during the New Moon Meditation and Guided Visualization I've channeled for you today.

New Moon Reading & Guided Visualization

Sometimes I like to paint and photograph rocks really close-up so that the finished piece looks completely abstract. it's easy to dream in these spaces; to get lost in their infinite beauty; the beauty of tiny lichens; pink, green and mermaid aqua.

I invite you now to envision something very small and detailed like a gold leaf rose in a greeting card or a baby's fingertip, or a cat whisker, or the vine-ey pattern of a leaf found on a walk.

Immerse yourself, eyes closed in this tiny, fey world, resting there gently until you too feel a part of that tiny vision encapsulating a whole world in a raindrop.

Firstly I'd like you to identify the element that you are in. For example, the Water Element if you are having a raindrop vision.

Next, envision yourself. Are you tiny too? Are you human, elf, fairy, a color, a feeling, a dancing spark, a firefly?

This is your world; finite yet infinite.

Feel your place in this world.

In your Moon Journal (if you have one) or if you need support starting or continuing one check out my Moon-Guided eClass here.

We are separate yet together in our tiny worlds, are we not?

Blessed Be & Happy New Moon!

Lefty Oracle for the New Moon: Alice Lives Here Now*

Mantra: I am home.
Affirmation: My feet grow roots as I sing Her song.
Element: Earth

Song
And HERE is where I plan to stay.
My heart is home and I belong.
Finally.

If this card appears in a reading there is a sense of coming home; a feeling of belonging, complete-ness, rooted-ness. You DO belong. Acknowledge this as you let your roots sink deeper into the ground. Feel yourself gaining strength and power.

In my own life I often struggle to belong, but I find that when I do value and appreciate the good parts in my life it helps. Sometimes living in a place that does not feel like home helps us see what it is we don’t want so that when we do find our true home it’s all the sweeter.

Pisces Full Moon Reading: Honour Yourself

Dear Moon Muser, i don't know about you, but things are finally moving forward again after the last Mercury Retrograde that just ended although Mars is still retrograde until August 27th. For me this Moon feels a bit spacey (so Piscean!) and ME-focused. It's also helped me more clearly see a vision I've been feeling for some time now and to write, write, write. How is this Full Moon energy effecting you? Feel free to share your thoughts and feelings below.

Lefty Oracle for the Pisces Full Moon*

Mantra: I am confident.

Affirmation: I can handle anything.

Element: Earth

Song
 I am simply
The BEST
Me
I can Be.

When this card appears in a reading it’s time to get serious, take charge and get ‘er done! Put on your action cap or your thinking cap or whatever cap you need to help you focus on what’s important. If you’re a woman this may mean accessing your animus or your inner male – the part of you that thinks in a linear, goal focused way. Whether male or female take a moment to honour yourself and recognize all you’ve achieved so far in your life.

In my own personal life I gain daily focus by writing a to-do list every morning after breakfast; a list that actually is do-able so that I can gain much needed satisfaction from checking things off my list.

How to Find Calm Amidst the Storm this Leo New Moon

New Moon Reading Channeled by Kathy Crabbe
for the Leo New Moon on August 11, 2018

To begin, let's all create a shared, sacred, safe circle to join and blend and enhance all our powers of intuition and protection. Envision each one of us together across the globe sharing space, breathing in and breathing out together in honour of Mama Earth, Father Sky and all our relations. This is our time together to do with as we will. Blessed Be.

The Lefty Oracle card (below) I pulled for this reading asks us to stand (or sit) tall and proud, feeling our heart space filled with love, honour, pride and joy. You can also place your hand over your heart or a vein to feel it beating. You are very much alive and present in this moment. Acknowledge that.

Leo is a HEART SIGN; a passionate fire sign, and with the Sun now entering Leo and the planet Mercury (ruling communication) retrograde and Mars closer than it's been in 60,000 years since 2003 plus a Solar Eclipse, we are going to work with this energy to go within.

Often in an emergency our fight or flight reactions are so strong that they overwhelm us, so let's find some guidance around this right now. I'd like you to choose a color that calms and supports you, or pick a person (alive or dead) or an animal that can assist you in finding this calm.

Now, practice doing this by envisioning or calling up that color/person/animal right now as you relax your breath and get quiet. Allow your heart to fill with their presence and repeat or envision their name, the color, or the animal over and over until you feel calm.

Kidney Stones! My Story

The exercise above is based upon a recent bout I had with a 5 mm kidney stone. I thought I might be dying; the pain was intense. Whilst in the hospital having tests done I called upon my birth mother, Sally  (a nurse) who had passed away. I envisioned her as a lithe Green Goddess with long red hair just as I'd painted her previously to help me through her dad's funeral. Interestingly enough while in hospital awaiting tests, an orderly was calling out, "Is Sally here?" over and over. This was yet another confirmation for me, that yes, we are guided and protected just when we need it the most.

I also recommend Motherwort Tincture prepared in 100 proof vodka NOT grain alcohol for help with calming the nerves and the heart (as recommended by Susun Weed).

In Love & Health,

Lefty Oracle Card for the New Moon: This beauty is killing me*

Mantra: I am empowered
Affirmation: I am beautiful in my own way.
Element: Fire

When this card appears in a reading it’s time to seriously look at how you might be damaging yourself, your health, your life. Wearing high heels, for example is extremely harmful to your feet and back and will cause pain for you at some point in your life. Are you hurting others or being hurt? Are you vulnerable? Do you need protection and education around protecting yourself, your loved ones, your home, or the natural world around you? This card is simply pointing out the price you are paying for so called ‘beauty’. Is it worth it?

In my own life here in Southern California I look around at all the plastic surgeries and there are A LOT. But what can I do? I can accept me and put myself proudly out there to share my idea of what beauty means at middle age. It’s silver hair, extra weight and wrinkles that add to my beauty, not take away from it. I have survived AND thrived and beauty IS middle aged and wrinkled. So deal with it.

Breaking Through the Creative Barriers: Lefty Oracle deck Review by Tree Talker Art

The lovely Rachael Caringella just reviewed my Lefty Oracle deck on her blog. Read the entire review here.

Here's a few comments from Rachael's review:

"This deck holds a very light and playful energy to it.. and I know you will love as much as I do!

This deck made me giggle out loud as I flipped through the cards. It is bursting with playful childlike energy that I was desperately needing!

Something about the art is thought provoking enough that it makes you stop and really notice the beauty and message in the details. 

Each card is pleasantly unexpected and surprising. Like I mentioned, the entire deck was created with Kathy's left hand! This makes the movements and gestures raw, authentic and channeled straight from the most creative part of Kathy's brain. Brilliant."
