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.

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".

Emerald's Healing Song

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

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.

Creative Soul Card: Fin

Fin's Song

This is the end, my friend

This Tall Tale ends here

with you

You, who are brave and true

You

who stand tall and true

You

who chooses to be true

to you, you, you.

Dream & Dance & Heal: Full Moon in Pisces

It's almost the Full Moon in that most mystical, magical, and spiritually inclined sign of the zodiac; Pisces so I decided to choose a card from my Creative Soul Deck and to sleep with it under my pillow while requesting Dream Guidance and Insights from Mama Moon & the Divine.

Creative Soul Card for the Full Moon in Pisces

Creative Soul Card: Guess -poet-

Affirmation: I dream the Divine in everything.

This is the dream, the dream called life and you are in the middle of it.

As if we know exactly what we're doing here...well, we don't, but by tuning into Mama Moon we open our hearts creatively as we spoon feed ourselves the nourishment we crave, oh that we crave so dearly.

Moonstone Meditation & Song

A Meditation to be sung or said aloud under the light  of the Full Moon *shared with my Creative Soul Circle ~ all are welcome to join this group on Facebook at no cost.

Creative Soul Challenge

I invite you to join my Creative Soul Circle and Sing the Song of the Moonstone together with your fellow Moon Musers as you catch your first glimpse of Mama Moon; full in Pisces on September 8th.

At this time Mama Moon is joined in the sky by Chiron, the planetoid (?) of wounded healers.

Where have you been wounded?

How will you release that wound by the light of the Full Moon?

You know the way. You ARE guided. Allow the mystical glow and guidance of this Full Moon to cleanse you and shower your dreams with new visions and old visions re-visioned anew.

Then dance, dance, dance in your heart for you are free.

And Guess -poet- always encourages poetry so be open to receiving pearls of wisdom in unexpected ways.

Happy Aquarius Full Moon: I quiet my outside so my inner voice can be heard

The affirmation and image in this post is from my soon to be released Creative Soul Deck and Class and was channeled by me for this Aquarius Full Moon. I have included a snippet from the Creative Soul Activity that accompanies it below. There is also a gemstone healing meditation that I channeled and will be sharing in my Creative Soul Circle, a private group on Facebook. Please email me if you'd like to join.

Affirmation: Shush! I quiet my outside so my inner voice can be heard. And I open up to touch the core of me-ness.

It's the lunar lammas and the first harvest (in the northern hemisphere, that is), but because it's a lunar celebration which happens this Sunday at the Full Moon in Aquarius (August 10 at 11:09 am PDT) this celebration is about our inner harvest.

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 at this Full Moon in Aquarius.

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

Aquarius Full Moon Delites for your altar

Daily Magic: Full Moon in Virgo Blessing

Kathy Crabbe, Full Moon Blessings, 2013, ink & watercolor on paper, 5 x 7”.

Welcome to my newest series of paintings titled Daily Magic: Pictures & Words to Wish Upon. This series is dedicated to Sally.  It will also appear in Susun Weed's new member's only site at www.wisewomanmentor.com where I have been invited to be a mentor columnist as well as exhibit my art in the Goddess Art Gallery. I actually got my start in online teaching at Susun Weed's Wise Woman University where I offered my eClass Awaken Your Divine Feminine Soul which is currently being offered on my own site as a self-study program.

The first painting in this series is titled Full Moon Blessings and was painted to honour Mother Moon as she passed through the sign of Virgo a few days ago. My intention with this series is to create a painting a day using magical forms and shapes with the power to make magic happen, to bring form into being, to change the future and to transform the present. It will be a book of:

• Mystical forms
• Power sayings
• Beauty
• Whimsy
• Healing
• Teaching
• Intention
• Wishing
• Truth
• Knowing
• Wisdom
• Ancient wisdom
• Power
• Strength
• Sweetness
• A Muse
• Strange

About the Moon in Virgo: Mutable Earth-sign Virgo gets us back to work; it's time to evaluate our harvest, put sweat equity in all our dreams and educate others with all we know and all we intend. Virgo asks us to proceed, not with judgment but with healing; tune up our health, edit our life. Virgos are our natural counselors, healers, and teachers; they evaluate, diagnose and edit with ease. They have finely-tuned minds and nervous-systems, and are acutely aware of the mind-body connection; ideas and facts are their bouquet. They're asked to focus on the harvest, not the weeds.

Excerpted from the We'Moon Datebook.

I'm a Virgo with several planets in the 6th House, the Virgo House (an über Virgo you could say!) and I completely relate to everything above.
