2012 The Shift Of Ages
Written by Lesley Tara McDonald - January 2012
Well it’s almost full moon in Cancer, the first full moon of the new year (it will be fully full on the the 9th) and already I’m on an emotional roller coaster and feeling the intensity building as I hit the highs and crash the lows.
Well it’s almost full moon in Cancer, the first full moon of the new year (it will be fully full on the the 9th) and already I’m on an emotional roller coaster and feeling the intensity building as I hit the highs and crash the lows.
Why
do I feel this way? What is this full moon asking of me? Why do I feel as
though I have been cut of from all human contact? and why are so many
situations in my life coming to a close at this time?
Of
course I know why, If I care to admit it, I know the cause. For here in these EPIC times of the 'Shift of Ages' as I straddle
this 'world between worlds', not quite brave enough to stand forward in my deepest truth and let my inherent glory and brilliance shine (the same glory and brilliance inherent in each and everyone of us) then this 'something' will continue to be asked of me until I am prepared, able and ready
to take the plunge, to gather my courage and dive in at the deep end as an authentic
person living my truth and just being me. No masks, no games, no sorry’s or
explanations.
Just
me. Just the way I am. No layers of societal conditioning. Just me in my natural glory re-aligned with Source.
This Full Moon in Cancer on January 9th 2012 is a real kick ass moon. It is not kidding about, it wants us to get it, to really get it, and to get real. 2011 was all about letting go and the key was to embrace change. We did, we did embrace it, and as change came at us from all sides and in all shapes and forms we tried our very best to cope with it, accept it, let go and let God. So now here in 2012 with the shift fully upon us, this Cancer moon is asking us to finally release any still lingering emotional attachements to things now past. So, if we have not yet done so, then this Cancer moon is reminding us there is still time, but the time is really and truly is NOW. Because ultimately we know that being fully authentic is now the only way to be.
And when we have done this, (oh will I ever be able to do this?) when we have taken that final leap into authenticity, as Cancer full moons come and go, we will salute them with love and respect as we feel and resonate with their more upbeat aspects of gentleness, caring and mother love.
Tonight however, I resonate with this fog of isolation encouraging me to look inwards, and I feel the pushing, prodding energy of the Cancerian broom handle plummeting me into the depths of myself to dredge up any final lingering fears and insecurities keeping me separate from Source.
By nature the crab clings, and this full moon energy is mercilessly mirroring my deep fear of letting go, of REALLY letting go. Letting go of the situations and of the people who are ready to leave my life. They are ready because our part in each others lives has reached completion - Mission Accomplished! and it is time for me, us, them, to follow their own path’s forward.
Instinctively you will know just what and who to let go of, as those people, places and situations will no longer resonate with who you are. similarly, those who will journey on with you into you your new reality will resonate at a similar frequency, will shine as brightly and will add a sense of sparkle to your world.
I speak not only of individuals but also of situations, of ways of thinking, acting, speaking, manipulating and reacting along with all the comfortable old excuses about why it's 'their fault' keeping us in our comfort zones. For this full moon in Cancer asks us all to dig deep inside and bring back the golden seeds of courage that will enable us to clear any patterns of denial and self sabotage and will enable us to let go of anything keeping us stuck or fearful, so that we may shine as brightly as the stars we are born to be.

path may be clouded, uncertain your goal:
Move on - for your orbit is fixed to your soul.
And though it may lead into darkness of night,
The torch of the Builder shall give it new light”

However
it is one thing to be asked to let go of that which no longer serves, and to
really think about letting it go. To pledge, promise and declare my intent to
let it go, for this is all manageable, but the actual act of letting go, the
act of cutting the energetic cords once and for all, and in some cases also
letting go of the physical item or person (and oh this one is hard!) is not easy,
not at all easy, and this Cancer full moon is mirroring and
highlighting my desperate attempts to cling on to the known. To cling
to the known loves and lovers, friends, job, home, even old clothes and
possessions. But most importantly to my old and outworn comfort zone and to the
old way of doing things.
But
the old ways are gone, and with them, the reason for some peoples places in our
lives are gone too. For better or worse, whether they made us laugh or cry,
loved us or hurt us, we must remember always, and with great gratitude the
gifts they gave us. By their very presence in our lives, they presented us with
situations and opportunities to feel and act out scenarios which enabled us to clear up old karma, old patterns, old
wounds and deeply buried emotions. With them we could feel the love, the passion, the desire, the neediness, the hate, the betrayal, the
sadness and loss, the anger, the helplessness and frustration along with a
zillion other emotions which had been buried deeply out of reach until they
came along to press the right buttons. And they did this, in divine timing, allowing us to project our deepest wounds on to them, so
that we could clear the need to react and so be ready to take part in the Shift of the Ages occurring at this
moment in time.
And
now we are here. The great Mother Earth has shifted her frequency and this
shift has zapped the old ways of doing things into oblivion. So now it’s time
to let go in our hearts, in our minds and with our bodies, to set each other
free and to open a new page ready to paint our heart’s desires on this
wonderful new blank canvas of life.
Happy
Full Moon in Cancer! When we get through this one (and we will :) and when we
integrate the lessons this intense mother moon is asking of us, we will
be lighter, freer and much less afraid. In 2012 we will inhabit the 'World between Worlds' as we prepare to create the new. We will fully claim our authenticity and shine brightly in our inherent brilliance and in the glory of God.
This we will do by simply being ourselves.
It's going to be FUN :)
