Learning

I’m learning more and more about moon circles. Not that I am technically studying them right now, but I am passively and slowly, I’d say, learning. And I’m loving it. I’ve always been into reading my horoscope and have dabbled here and there with zodiac signs and information. I’ve always believed in the philosophy even without knowing too much about it. It’s like how I feel about Yoga. It’s just sort of in me and always has been.

So today is a Monday and its June 3rd 2019. Today is one of my best friends and one of my new friends’ birthdays. It’s also the New Moon in Gemini. According to @spiriturdaugther, which is who I am passively and slowly learning from. And I quote:

“The New Moon lands in Gemini tomorrow morning, ushering a new lunar cycle full of new potential and limitless possibilities. Gemini is the sign of the fast-moving, ever curious twins. Governed by the element of air, Gemini brings us new information to expand our minds and our hearts. The nature of this energy creates change and can make us feel restless if we’re not rounded in our body. Take some time to quiet your mind tonight and feel your roots as we prepare for major shifts tomorrow.

Gemini also rules our communication and all exchanges of information. Gather with others around this time and be curious about wha they may teach you. Gemini reminds us that we live in a world with other people to help us figure out this great mystery of life. No one has all the answer, but together we can start to put the puzzle together.

Gemini also teaches us that nothing is permanent. We live amongst a sea of changing vibrations. Her New Moon is a time to look at how you deal with change. Do you adapt or do you try to control the uncontrollable? Fell into your most flexible nature this New Moon and let go of any illusions of permanence. Trust the changing tides this lunar cycle is bringing us and know that sometimes you need to get lost to be found”.

Just simply PERFECT right now. Change is all around me. I’ve been feeling this shifting energy since the beginning of the year. I believe it sort of continued on from the Fall of 2018 when we moved to Idaho and has come on with a stronger force the past month. Change is constantly happening, every single day. In this sense of putting energy towards what you want to happen, I have been supporting change with my partner a lot the past 8 months. Now it’s happening. He didn’t ask for it, it just happened. And that, my friends, is the Universe in action. If you put something out there, like something you want to have happen, something you’re ready to experience or see come to fruition, it will happen. It’s just a matter of whether you make the change or if the change happens to you first. It’s absolutely, 100% NOT so black and white as the previous sentences, either. Like in my previous quote, you HAVE to put the work in.

I like reflecting via this form of writing. It makes my wheels turn.

In looking back, I made the change for me. I could sense that if I didn’t, then it would just happen at a time I wouldn’t be prepared for living in San Francisco, CA - the most expensive city to live in in the US of A. I made a plan. I saved for a year, made an exit plan and decided to take a huge leap of faith and do a 180 with my life. I quit my corporate job, went to India, studied Yoga, came back to the US and have been teaching and helping people heal in some form or another ever since. Jeff was along side me that entire time. He helped to push me, to motivate me to make a leap. I had to do something.

Jeff’s situation was very much getting to that same point as with me at my previous job. He had been unhappy at his job basically for a couple years and was been ready for a shift. He wasn’t making it happen soon enough for his plan to unfold accordingly. So, the Universe knew and made the change happen. A little, frustrating, kick in the butt of like ‘ok, now you have to do something about it’.

I’m very much a believer in energy, signs, the universe, the path, the plan, all of it. Jeff, to my surprise actually, is not 100% on that path - even though I see it in him. So I should say, he is not on that path, YET. I feel like he hasn’t woken up to the belief within yet. Almost like he has his eyes covered a little and slowly the veil is being withdrawn letting light is seep in, as he learns, really about himself.

So, where is Jeff now? In Bali, learning. He is doing a work-trade opportunity (#dream!), providing video/photography content for the Digital Nomad Retreat. I’d say he’s living the dream and he doesn’t even know it, yet.

Cheers to change. Cheers to impermanence being the only constant in this ever changing world we find ourselves living within. Cheers to learning, every step of the way.

Namaste,
