Refined Visionary...That's You: Lunar Cycle Invitations

On February 17 at 7:01 AM EST, we are present for the Aquarius New Moon, an Annular Solar Eclipse (a ring shaped solar eclipse), and enter into the Eclipse Portal that will span the next six (6) months…and if that doesn't feel like enough...we are also at the threshold, in the liminal, between the Chinese Zodiac of The Snake and The Horse.
We’re transmuting the final moments of the Wood Snake, a resourceful, regenerative, transformative expanse marked with the sluffing of skins, facades, and weightiness. The year ahead holds the Fire Horse, specifically Yang Fire indicated by the 6 in 2026, furthering transformation with speed, intensity, breakthroughs, friction, and desire powered by obsession. Think Marty Supreme, if you’ve seen it. The elemental power of the year ahead occurs every 60 years (rather than the usual 12) in the Chinese Zodiac.
Me? I’m going to move some money around, like a small amount into a high-yield account or onto my altar…I have not decided. But I’m going to do it just to say “I’m here when you need me” – to me. It can be $5 and so meaningful… money is energy, and you have the right to move yours with trust in yourself.
Also, Mercury will be in Pisces in the First House: we have cosmic permission to release all practical concerns, inviting us to speak our desires as refined visionaries, allowing concepts of our inner awareness and our outer world to merge through visualization, dreams, and callings. It is not wise to live fully from this state; however, it is a powerful window to set aside terrestrial perceptions and limitations, call in our true desires, and claim them. Write it all down. Speak it to your sacred place…honestly speak it to your headboard, your mattress, your places/spaces of rest and wonder.
Speak your refined visionary marvels to the terrestrial objects, spaces, and places that hold you.
THE CRYSTALS:
Black Tourmaline: With bravery, I accept myself and others without judgment. Neutral clarity liberates me.
Ocean Jasper: I harness the power of radical (higher) Self-honesty to create my reality
Rose Quartz: I accept my heart’s desires without condition.
Altogether now...
I harness my power by radically honoring my heart's desire without condition, bravely claiming my liberation through clarity, Self-honesty, and release of condemnation and conditioning.
THE ELEMENTS:
From The Untamed Elemental by Tsya van Ree comes Wolf and Breath.
Wolf: Wild and instinctual with an impulse of deconditioning toward the ungovernable. Self-trusting, inspired by the marathon of the hunt, the marathon of life. Welcome the wild through the wild in you...shake ass, head bang, dig a hole, push paint, make something that pleases you for fuck’s sake!
Breath: Frequency, babe. Vibratory, expansive, life-giving. Functional and inherent: present for you to manipulate within conscious resonance, and with you in every moment of wonder and rest.
THE INVITATIONS:
The mega-quandaries and mental wanderings for welcoming the Arc of the New Moon: the days leading into, the apex of, and the lunar cycle ahead.
If I clear probability from my mind, set down conditioning and take on a unlimited mindset, where do I see myself? In what environment, doing what things, wearing what garments, do I feel satisfaction, success, peace and clarity? Or, if it feels better, mentally wander with less pressure on specificity: in what frequency of life do I feel these states, or one that rings true for me?
What does it feel like, in my body, to honor my heart's desires without condition?
What is my wild frequency? At what pitch does my wild meet the world, and where does it get amplified in ways that bring me experience and delight without the harm of condemnation or self-betrayal?
