This Moon period is the period of the Moon The Spear, I Focus. It is also the period of Lughnasadh, the 1st Harvest Festival. Questions you could ask yourself this time to the New Moon are:
Am I living the life that makes me happy? If not, what can I change?
Am I reaping what I want to harvest? If not, where should I focus?
Do I listen to my self-wisdom or am I guided by others?
Beautiful last phase of this Moon and with love, Elke )O( The Alder Scrolls /|\
Today I was drawn to a very special shrub, the Yellow Cornelian Cherry from the Dogwood Family. Beautiful yellow blossom on still leafless branches, protected by the Holly that hangs next to it and above it. I felt connected to that Yellow Cornelian Cherry that is already blooming and is protected by Holly, it fits where I am now in my life. Carefully I started to show what I have to offer, the first successes are there, and being protected I take my first steps. I had to smile when I was standing there and studying the flower of the Yellow Cornelian Cherry. The flower has 4 leaves that symbolize for me the 4 Elements and the Earth, in between there are 4 axillary screens that reach to the Universe. I am currently also unfolding myself, spreading my wings in all directions and trusting the Universe doing it. Beautiful!
At home I
looked a little bit further into this member of the Dogwood Family for the
spiritual meaning and this is what I found. The Yellow Cornelian Cherry makes
you aware of the much larger picture you are part of. You are part of a whole
and connected with everything and everyone around you. Yellow Cornelian Cherry helps
you to remember who you are and why you wanted to be back here on earth.
Holly
stands for protection and safety. He wants to guard you and if you lose courage
he helps you to remember by his green leaves and red berries that the Winter
passes again and Spring will come. He protects you so that you can grow and
develop yourself until you are ready to stand on your own.
Finding
this combination, the Yellow Cornelian Cherry and the Holly, give me the signal
that I can go for it and can trust the Universe. Wonderful how Mother Nature
coaches and encourages you ♥
Do you
dare to go for it? If not, let me know, we will look together at what Nature
wishes to tell you about yourself.
