Welcome to the Growth Moon

This moon is also known as the Hay Moon, Buck Moon, Thunder Moon, Mead Moon, and in Hindu this is the Guru Poornima. All over the world and within all cultures we humans can't help but 'look up'.

I hope that you find useful the information included below. This year is zipping by and we are all very involved so I have designed these entries to be short and focused.

For each lunation, as part of the Homework for this year, I will refer to a way to connect to resource. For many of us this tends to turn our thoughts directly to money....and often to the lack thereof.

When our growth (plug in the word maturity there) proceeds naturally we come to realize that resource is about accessing the Divine Ideas that life holds for each and for all. Yet throughout time, and clearly within the current climate, many are suffering and often over thoughts of lack.

As a self-employed artist, determined to keep on 'growing toward the goal' I have investigated and come to trust a number of varied disciplines, voluntary simplicity being one of them, in order to assist my sweet self to not fall prey (for long) to the prevailing fear thoughts of mass consciousness.

Since the early eighties I have been inspired by the work of John Randolph Price and the Quartus Foundation that he founded. The hardcopy snail mail monthly newsletter available through Quartus is, for me, a terrific tune-up tool. Within his prosperity work Price offers an acronym: M.O.N.E.Y. that stands for my own natural energy yield. By researching his work you'll discover the 40 Day Prosperity Program and the 60 Day Non Human Program. I've repeated them often with uplifting results.
During this 'Growth Moon' remind yourself how you grow best. Where do you choose to plant yourself. What kind of climate do you require? Sometimes we need to be transplanted in order to thrive.
This brief monthly email can be placed into context by reading my full length Lifecycle Forecast 2009 article at ZodiacArts.com

Seventh Lunation: The Growth Moon June 22 - July 20

Money is not my supply. No person, place or condition is my supply. My awareness, understanding and knowledge of the all-providing activity of the Divine Mind within me is my supply. My consciousness of this Truth is unlimited; therefore, my supply is unlimited. John Randolph Price


Welcome to summer! The most fast paced and opportune time of the year for growing into your goals. Joan Borysenko in her book Pocketful of Miracles writes:

... one of the four cardinal points of the year, Summer Solstice, the day of greatest light. The Medicine Wheel has completed its spring turning and is fully opened to the Southern Gate, the gate of summer. Summer is a season for appreciating the abundance of life, the reality of both the physical light and the spiritual Light, and of recognizing the unique gifts we have to share with the world. The Archangel Gabriel, a Hebrew name meaning "the strength of God," is the guardian of summer and the protector of the birth of all living things."

This is an appropriate time to remind ourselves of the over- arching energy of the year: the quality that requires patience and that places us into a 'pregnancy'. When we're expecting we wait on nature. We cannot push the baby to grow. It would be at risk if born prematurely. It helps to be expectant, light and joyful, filled with the promise that a new life brings.

Here at the Solstice point we begin a new 90 day segment of the wheel. It's convenient to see the year as divided into four equal quarters: Spring Equinox to Summer Solstice to Fall Equinox to Winter Solstice. Take the time to pause and consider what you want to give birth to over the next three months. That allows you to hold a year long goal that is broken down into four separate segments.

In preparation, use the last nine days of June to keep harmony in mind. Walk your talk. Address issues as they arise. Be authentic.

The energy visiting in July brings evolution. Free Dictionary online offers this definition: A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form.
Apply this definition to the goals that you're willing to birth.

It's an appropriate point in the year to let go of whatever may be holding evolution back. The vibe for July is one of completion. To complete an important chapter obviously means that something has to come to culmination. Something, either literally or figuratively, is going to be released. We've all heard of and experienced how 'something has to die' in order for room to be made for the new. See if you can notice where, in your life, this natural process is unfolding.

Death comes in order to make room for what's next. When we release what we no longer need we make room for the not always comfortable task of transforming/evolving. For example, if we are pregnant we must die to our singular life and birth the self into the role of parent. When we reach 'a certain age' we must die to our youthful dreams and evolve into the natural process of aging/saging. When enough of us make conscious choice to engage in transformation/evolution the shift happens culturally. Slow but sure.

There is a deeply humanitarian and compassionate aspect to this cycle's energy that requires a largess of spirit and a willingness to share. A phrase from A Course In Miracles says "Those who temporarily have more give to those who temporarily have less." This could make a perfect mediation. The Wheel of Life turns and we each experience the highs and the lows. This point in our circle says 'give what it is you want to receive'. Give from your heart for humanity. That's called compassion. Give of your gifts and talents.

Martin Luther King Jr. said:
"Not everybody can be famous but everybody can be great because greatness is determined by service. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don't have to know Einstein's theory of relativity to serve. You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics and physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love."

May this cycle hold you like a hammock on a warm afternoon and may you be carried by your generous and gentle Spirit as you move down the path of summer.

KEYWORDS for attuning to this cycle: action, art, broad outlook, compassion, evolution, fine arts, generosity, goals, healing arts, impersonal love, literature, mature, pay off debt, philanthropist, pregnant, potential, selfless service, theater, unity

KEYWORDS that take energy away: aimless, bereft, conflicted, demanding, disgusted, financially burdened, frustrated, greedy, holding grudges, immature, left out, longing, narrow interests, suffering, self-centered, unfulfilled

HOMEWORK: "What you do repeatedly is what you are." so said Aristotle and that's a good thing to consider now. During this cycle give up what you do not want and keep what you value. This is a time to move your idea out into the community. Volunteer. Put yourself out into the mainstream and see what comes back a hundredfold. This is also an excellent time to connect with the arts. Go to see a play, attend a gallery opening, paint or sculpt... at the very least dance!
To connect to m.o.n.e.y. for this cycle means to pay off your debt. This could apply to actual financial obligations. It could also refer to any aspect of your life that requires forgiveness. Practice forgiving. Practice wiping the slate clean.

Above all see this cycle as an end point a time when you can see that you have mastered something inportant to you. Our next cycle will signal an infusion of new beginning.
