Gibbous Moon Phase - Moon in Gemini/Cancer
Ruling Mahavidya: Matangi
Today's energy brings the past into view. But this isn't happening just to give us an opportunity for insight (although that is part of it); it's happening to get us to tap into something at our core level and use it to strengthen our connection with the planet, Gaia-Sophia. So you can envision this as if you had roots of energy coming out of your feet and reaching straight down to the core of the planet. It's important that we gain some grounding today, and remembering where we came from will facilitate this. With this, we're looking at what takes precedence and if we feel we are getting our due. The tendency to react on impulse is high today, but keep in mind that Gibbous phase is not a time for reactions. It's a time to infuse things with magical properties (mindsets and intentions). Gibbous Moon phase transforms the shape of things. So instead of acting out or reacting (especially if we are seeking to fill our needs), we can fortify the vision of our lives that we are co-creating with Sophia by holding off judgment and by-passing the need for approval and acceptance from others. We must fill our own needs today. We've become familiar with the aspect of Matangi that represents the mother energy taking care of things. She asks us to do for ourselves today because she has plans in the works for the Full Moon phase. (Incidentally, I am trying to adjust for the shift in the Earth's position with regard to when the Moon phases enter. They enter one day earlier now, so today is actually the second day of the Gibbous phase. I will begin reflecting the adjustment when I list the Moon phase above.)
If you are interested in learning more about Matangi and the other Mahavidyas, check out the secondary Oracle Report site dedicated to collecting our individual instruction with them - www.mahavidyaproject.com. We're learning a lot over there. For example, Eillen shared that Matangi means "breeze" in Maori. Matangi certainly feels like a breath of fresh air. She's flow-y like that. Wise owls from the Oracle Report are sharing what Matangi is teaching this month. Everyone is invited!
