OUR FULL MOON next Saturday is the energetic crest of the lunar cycle that began on May 6. The New Moon on that day was in Taurus, and offered us the opportunity and incentive to begin to recreate our lives so that they are more in sync with our deepest values. It also called us to simplify our lives so that space is made for the new creations to grow.

Over the past 10 days, and in the next few days leading up to Saturday's Full Moon, we are encouraged to continue our dedication to these goals. Luna travels through two other signs this week before coming into fullness in Sagittarius; this journey provides support for us first to re-balance ourselves emotionally and find greater internal harmony with the past (Libra) and then to dive more deeply into our knowing of what we truly desire and what energizes our passionate involvement in life (Scorpio).

BY THE TIME of the Full Moon itself, at 2:14pm PDT (9:14pm GMT) on Saturday, having done our work of preparation, we will be primed to take full advantage of the insights and activation being offered as the Sun and Moon oppose each other in the sky.

The Moon is aligned with Mars for the lunation, increasing our confidence, conviction, and courage -- but with Mars now retrograde, this alignment also means that before we take action, we must make sure that our aspirations are consistent with our spirit's intentions.

GIVEN THAT MARS is retrograde in Sagittarius, we may benefit most by focusing the energy of this lunation in clearing out old beliefs and seeing where we have spread ourselves too thin. This is actually in keeping with the original intentions of simplification and value clarification set with the Taurus New Moon two weeks ago.

If we first do this clearing and consolidation, our energy will then be much clearer and cleaner -- which means the outward actions we ultimately take will be that much more aligned with our deeper truth, and therefore that much more supported by our higher selves.

THE SABIAN SYMBOL for this Full Moon emphasizes the powerful forces that accompany Mars' involvement in the lunation:

"White-capped waves display the power of wind over sea: the mobilization of unconscious energies under the pressure of superpersonal motives."

In his interpretation of this symbol, astrologer Dane Rudhyar writes:

"In symbolism, the wind is associated with spiritual dynamism. The stirring of deep energies this dynamism produces obeys cosmic or superpersonal rhythms, the power of which is irresistible."

It may be that we will be compelled to take action in some way with this Full Moon. In fact, many people will likely be feeling very restless and impatient, and find it difficult not to act instinctively. But again, it appears to be very important that when we do take action, we "obey the cosmic rhythms" that guide us from the higher realms.

THE SUN adds additional insights into the New Moon themes through its close alignment with the asteroid Vesta. This celestial body represents our capacity for dedication, specifically to our spiritual path -- much as the vestal virgins fully dedicated their lives to their sacred devotions.

As the Sun and Vesta conjoin in Gemini for the lunation and for the two days that follow, we become more serious about our commitments, and desire full agreement with our spiritual purposes. It is important to pay close attention to our thoughts, and to know that even unspoken words carry power and influence. With Vesta and the Sun opposite Mars and the Moon, our thoughts and words can serve either to inspire or alienate.

This alignment between the Sun and Vesta may be especially helpful for those who do telepathic work, communicating either with other physical beings or with those who are now in other dimensional realities. A trine aspect between Sun/Vesta and the asteroid Pallas Athene amplifies our capacity for healing and receiving inspiration through these activities.

Go Deep, Soar High by Shanta Gabriel

 | Dec 15, 2014 | Inspiration for the Week | 

The Gabriel Message card for this week

Bask in the Wonder of Life. Go deep, soar high, follow your love and the joy of fulfillment will be yours.


This season of Holy Days seems to be a good one for basking in the wonder of life. At no other time is there more awareness of Inspiration, Beauty, Love, Generosity, and all the frequencies that bring more meaning into life. The sights and sounds of the season have a profound effect on our senses, expanding us in ways that can be transformative and carry us into the new year with an awakened heart.


Of course Christmas is also the time when more people remember Angels than any other time of the year. It is with renewed faith and inspired hope that we invite Angelic assistance into our lives, and allow ourselves to receive more deeply than usual. When we do this we are opening a doorway that can allow more guidance and wisdom to be prevalent during the new year that follows. This intentional activity fires the synapse that enables us to create new neural pathways that can serve our awakening process. How cool is that? A little dedicated process can create spiritual evolution if we allow it to be so.


It is our process of allowing and intention that is really afoot here. When we dedicate our lives to becoming a blended being that brings Divine Light through a physical body, we are becoming beacons of inspiration and love for the Earth’s evolution. Through all that we do to honor the Divine within us, we are becoming activists of spiritual consciousness on the wave of empowered Light. This is what our soul signed up to do during this time of awakening and it really feels good. When something feels so deeply right when I do it, for me that registers as Truth. And Truth does not hurt, no matter what the mass belief is.


The process of devotion to our spiritual nature is going deep into the heart of Divine Love that always lives within me. It is a focus of my intention to live true to my heart and keeps my attention on what has value for me. When I can allow myself this depth of experience, it feels like I am soaring high on the wings of Angels. There is no doubt that I am being supported and guided, inspired and cared for. I feel nurtured when I open my heart to receive.


That is one of the reasons this season is so special. There is a Divine Presence that exists throughout all the festivities that we can tune into and allow to nourish us. It is not just about giving, it is also about opening to receive as deeply as we can, even opening new channels that nurture us and create new energetic pathways to carry us into the new year.


When we are inspired by the love that is prevalent in this season of Holy Days, we can use that delicious energy to create a fulfillment of our deepest dreams and desires. With Divine Love all things are possible. There is more love available in the Christ Consciousness now than any other time of the year. We are in the cosmic 12:12 gateway that will be open until December 21. Drink this Divine Light into your High Heart and let yourself be inspired in new and sacred ways.


New Life Awakening is here for us now and it is an amazing time to breathe it in and receive.

The Gabriel Messages #29

Bask in the wonder of life — go deep, soar high, follow your love, and the joy of fulfillment is yours.

Dear One,


Life is a special gift from God, filled with infinite beauty. Your appreciation and gratitude for this beauty brings forth a new dimension of love within you. Take the time to pursue beauty. Find one flower and look with wondrous eyes upon this divine miracle. Notice the grace of a tree, the strength of its trunk, the power of the root system diving deep into the ground, and the play of the leaves in the sunlight. Put your arms around a tree and take a moment to sense the life force pulsing inside. This slow, steady pulse will soothe and calm you in times of upset. Try sitting with your back against a tree and feel the peace grow within you. Listen to the songs of birds. They sing for the pure joy of it. This is nature in all its glory, and nature will always remind you of the beauty and wonder of Spirit.
Nature is one of the easiest ways to bask in the wonder of life. Just being aware of the miraculous occurrences in nature will stir the life force within you. There will be a reminder of times when you were a child and wonder lived at the forefront of your awareness. When you do this, your life takes on new meaning, a spacious quality of Grace.


Go deep within the feelings that connect you with Spirit. Be aware that you are a child of a benevolent Universe. Know that you are guided and protected by the Angels, and that who you are has great value to the world.


Soar high, and experience the incredible possibilities available to you at every moment. Anything is possible. Miracles are the natural state of being in the universe. Do not limit yourself by thinking you can’t do what is important to you. Take the time to let your guardian Angel show you how you can accomplish all your dreams. In your meditation, ask for this. You deserve to have that which makes you happy in your life.


Life is not meant to be a painful struggle without hope. Allowing new possibilities to play on the perimeters of your consciousness will begin the process of opening to full miracles. It is a process of allowing. It takes willingness to have your life be happier and more satisfying, even if you don’t know how to do it. This willingness allows the forces of the universe to work for you. Allow yourself to open to miracles and to wondrous joy and gratitude for all that is available to you right now. Call on your Angelic presence to open the way to the miracles you deserve.


That is why we say:


Bask in the wonder of life — go deep, soar high, follow your love, and the joy of fulfillment will be yours.
