Oct. 26-28 Moon in Gemini: Get Down & Dance!

The Moon enters Gemini Oct. 26 at 12:41 pm pdt until the 28th and Imperial Moth is our Elfin Ally of the month who invites us to get down, get philosophical and then DANCE it all off, jester style - all the pain, the bloopers, and the political hoo-haws surrounding you.

With Moon squaring Neptune you may find this a tad more challenging than usual, so why not call upon your spiritual community to step up and help lighten the load? Cause Goddess knows, we all need it!

With Moon trining Mars, you’ll get all the help you need, if you wisely manage your resources and ASK NICELY!

Imperial Moth is our Gemini Moon Ally this month as her astrological sign is Gemini, ruled by the Planet Mercury.

Oracle Card Meaning: Listen to your dreams for they share messages from beyond.
Affirmation: “I explore otherworlds.”

Mummy by Kathy Crabbe from the Lefty Oracle Deck

Lefty Oracle of the Month: Mummy

Mantra: I nurture.

Affirmation: Shush! I quiet my outsides so my inner voice can be heard.

Element: Spirit

Song
I am enclosed.
Silence
completes me.

When you pull this card in a reading it’s definitely not a time to charge forward. You need to lay low and take care of yourself right now. Self care is number one so find a way to nurture yourself body, mind and soul. You deserve it.

In my own life when I painted this card I actually had a cold and was feeling very inward, needing time to recover and take care of myself first.

Creative Journal Prompt:
What feeds you? What keeps you going and fulfills you? Is this a part of your daily work or play or even your dreams at night?

Quick, the fairies are calling you; can you see that flash of light, that wee sprite, out of the corner of your eye?  She is calling your name.

You are the mummy now; the mummy of your own inner dreams. Take time out to acknowledge yourself.

Take time out for you.

Wrap yourself up like a mummy, in protective layers so that YOU, yes YOU can hear your own thoughts without distraction.

Allow the Divine to speak through you, trusting that the advice she has for you is going to be good for all of us.

Allow the group mind, the myriad of voices, the universal, co-creative, collective consciousness to speak through you by listening to your heart and soul.

Allow this energy to fill your soul with light for you are love and all you touch is loved.

Spotlight on Piscean Artist: Teresa Goodin

Home: Taranaki, New Zealand
Website: www.teresagoodin.com

1. What aspect of creating your art or craft do you find the most enjoyable?

I enjoy collecting materials for making art. I have a large collection of books and magazines that I source images from to create collages. I am always on the look out for 2nd hand illustrated books at markets and charity shops. I used to create assemblages, but gave it up during a major de-cluttering phase, because I didn’t want to hoard objects anymore (still a work in progress).

I get a bit obsessed when I create collages, I tend to get absorbed in the process and won’t stop working until an artwork is resolved or completed. It can take many hours to find the right images and create a composition, so I really enjoy completing an artwork, it’s very satisfying when I glue down that final piece of paper

2.What originally got you started creating your art or craft?

During Art School I started creating collages in books. I was using collage to express and process different emotions and states of being. Collage allowed me to develop my own personal, secret and symbolic language. It was like writing in a diary using encrypted code and I was the only one who knew how to decipher the code (a psychologist may dispute that!) As I have matured my collages have become less about my own personal awareness and healing and more about the transpersonal.

3.     Creatively, who has inspired you the most, and why?

My mother was always creating when I was growing up, including costume designing, pottery, tiling, landscaping, gardening and painting…so she is my primary creative influencer. As a young adult I was drawn to sacred art including Tibetan Buddhist, Native American and Mayan art. I love vibrant colors and geometry, New Zealand abstract painters Gretchen Albrecht and Max Gimblet particularly inspire me. I love the ephemeral land art of Andy Goldsworthy and the beautiful film work of cinemaphotographer Ron Fricke.

Wairuatanga: Spirit, hand crafted collage, 1000mm x 600mm, 2012

'Wairuatanga: Spirit' is an interpretation of Elfshood Orchid, Pterostylis banksii, Fairy of the Rainbow Bridge Essence. This artwork is from 'Te Wheke: The Eight Dimensions of Wellbeing' Series by Teresa Goodin

4.     How did you decide what medium to work in?

At Art School I majored in printmaking and photography, however by the time I graduated I was using collage more than any other process. One of the reasons I continued to work with collage is because it’s so cheap and accessible, I don’t need film, chemicals, ink, a printing press or darkroom to create work, I just need scissors and glue.

Collage is also a very meditative process. I can let go of technical concerns and just get lost in the process. I can let the left-brain have a rest and let my intuition take charge of the process. Feeling and observing my response to the colors and images guides the process. After a few hours of creating I tend to enter an altered state, which enables me to gain insights and make connections. Collage allows me to create a bridge between the conscious mind and the unconscious. It can be a very powerful healing process, if I allow myself to let go into the process.

5.     How does your zodiac sign influence your creativity?

I have four planets in Pisces (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus) and I think this is reflected in my artwork through my use of symbols, the language of the unconscious. My artworks are often surreal and dream like. My artwork has a strong transpersonal focus and I’m interested in promoting individual and collective harmony, healing and transformation. Through symbols and the language of the soul I am striving to touch the essence of the viewer, invoking balance, integration and wholeness.

6.     What do you like best about your sign and least?

I appreciate the Piscean gift of vivid and rich imagination. I find the escapist tendencies of the fish and it’s urge to dive deep under the water a challenge to navigate at times.

7.     What message, if any, do you want to convey with your art or craft?

The beauty and healing power of nature.

8.     If you had to choose a fruit or vegetable to describe yourself, what would you choose and why?

A dragon fruit, because it’s bright, exotic and mysterious.

9. If you had to choose one other medium in which to display your creativity, what would that be and why?

I have been collecting beads and gem stones for a few years and I have a jewelry project waiting in the wings. I intend to make three medicine necklaces related to the Medicine Woman Apprenticeship I have been involved with over the past few years. I’ve also been thinking about making short films for a quite a while, using images, color, geometry and sound to take the viewer on a meditative healing journey.   

10.  What advice do you have for others who are just starting to develop creatively?

Always follow your heart!

How to Get Inspired and Fight to Win this Aries New Moon

It's the New Moon in Aries on April 7 and I sat down to meditate in advance so that I could channel messages for you while in a deep trance-state meditation surrounded by the Aries energy I had created to decorate my altar. I turned to my Goddess Zodiac Book for altar suggestions such as gemstones, plants, foods etc. which you can read about below and see pictured above.

Next, envision a grasshopper extending his arm out to you for a dance. As you follow the steps and dance to the tune, let your body lead you and see what comes. Thank your grasshopper guide and move on - wake up - come back. If you feel like sharing any messages you receive please feel free to share below.

Lefty Oracle Card Guidance ~ Is this worth fighting for?

I also turned to my Lefty Oracle Deck which will soon be released for purchase as a 52-card deck and guidebook - yehhh! This is a 16 year journey for me and I'm happy to say that it's finally going to happen. I'm working steadily on the writing that will accompany each card and I will be sharing it starting today in conjunction with the New Moon.

The Lefty Oracle card I chose to represent the energy of the Aries New Moon is a Fire Element card called "Is this worth fighting for?" Her/His story is included in the back of the prints I've just released in my Etsy Shop.
