“Fall seven times, stand up eight.”  Japanese proverb

Wisdom Body Notes, Oct. 13-21 by Samantha Cameron

With the upcoming Warrior Full Moon in Aires shouting “GO!”  Retrograde  Jupiter shouting “WAIT!” And the dark god of power and control, Pluto, slowly closing down his 18 year journey in Capricorn, we are in for BIG change.  If you have been feeling stuck, tired, or frustrated~ the fiery Full Moon on the 17th is sure to kick you into action. Be careful of instant decisions, as not only is the energy lit by Aires passion, but it is uber-charged as a ‘Super Moon,’ and in a fierce T-Square arrangement with Mars, its ruler, and Pluto.  Remember ‘Super Moons’ are closest to the earth, affecting tides, electromagnetic fields, and nervous systems. Plus, any combination of Mars with Pluto creates potent, bold force fields, powerful execution and all too often hot-headed retaliation.  Aires/Mars energies ask for leadership, action and courage, while deeply emotional Pluto seeks Underworld paths of power and control.  Creating balance, serenity, and thoughtful responses takes work and time, but pause long enough to be motivated by slow and thoughtful productivity.

Wisdom Body notes Sept. 29-Oct. 8 by Samantha Cameron

If you can feel into the long dancer’s stretch, (view below). the stamina it takes to look serene and grounded, and the power required to hold that elongation then you have an energetic understanding of energies expanding the incoming new Moon Solar Eclipse at 10 degrees Libra, Oct. 2nd.  As you know, Eclipses are here to clean out our closets, and move us into new territory with lighter, wider vision.  New Moon, or Solar eclipses, are known to open unknown thresholds, inviting us to lift our legs into higher onward-leaps…hence, the deep stretching and grounding required before lift-off.  Back in March, we began the 2024 Eclipse season with a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 5 degrees Libra, and now return to close out this crazy year with the same energy.  Can you guess at what might be one of the big themes of ’24?

Wisdom Body Notes Sept. 16- 25 by Samantha Cameron

If you are happily reading this then you survived the twisty vibrations of the mental madness of late August -early September.   With Mercury stopping to move forward, and Uranus skidding to stop to turn backward. How many unexpected ideas, events, and ‘awakening moments’ have you had in the past two weeks?  How much chaos have you put to rest?  How big have those pearly blues of yours opened to higher transmissions?  What are you giving birth to in September?  If you are asking, “what now?” Then you are the master/mistress of the moment, and as Rumi wrote, ‘you clearly tended to your vital heart.’

THE TRANSMISSION                  
The longing is for…… Love to be its own witness Present in every moment.
It is for us to open, Accepting each opportunity To turn toward another,
Holding the silent hidden presence.
Now, we stand as witness Surrendering all.
Embracing all. Declaring all
To create this moment of Grace.
Here, as witness We guard the sacred
We hold what is, Guide to what shall be
Led by wisdom’s heart.
The longing met.

Wisdom Body Notes for August 28-September 5
In July, I wrote this poem to a beautiful couple for their lavender wedding in Provence.  Despite overwhelming difficulties in the rest of summer, I’m holding hard to memories of joy and the energy of ‘transmission,‘ especially as we enter fall.  Yes, some of the summer’s ‘celestial- flame’ subsides, and yes, we may have greater opportunities to focus on personal dreams, rather than fixing one more derelict, inopportune thing; and yes, we shall continue dealing with ongoing erratic changes, befuddled emotions, along with the incessant, “What?  You can’t be serious!” 
~The title of my new book.

Wisdom Body Notes for August 15-25 by Samantha Cameron

The heat of multiple dynamic cosmic energies these past two weeks, leads toward Monday’s Full Moon culmination of a Queenly Leo Sun facing a freedom loving Aquarian Moon.  I’m not sure I want to know just how much higher August’s wild ride will take us, but this dramatic combo, with its ‘auxiliary transits of intensity’ is sure to offer more heat.  The past two weeks have been a dynamic time and this Full Moon, as all full moons do, exacerbates the emotional body.  The big light in the sky illuminates the night, and what lies in shadow within. This Aquarian infusion is wired with the exotica of freedom loving chaos to confront the Sun’s Leonine desire for honor and acclaim.  Between now and Monday, you might like to spend time releasing old baggage and calling up your fearless-self to ask just how you’d like to discover new ways to use this ‘high heat.’  How unique and majestic can you become?  What stands in your way?

Sacred Recognition

The western wind drops away

Carrying her last exhale out to sea

Subduing blue-black chop,

Prostrating cliff-grasses,

Now the horizon can marry the sun

As light lies horizontal

In breathless pause

Between day’s end and one to come.

Here, we greet first stars

Dropping through incoming shadow,

Calling to Sirius ‘The Spiritual Sun’

Alchemical guide of latitude and longitude

Imprinting awe, opening harmony, offering wisdom.
