Sharing some reflection from the last Full Moon in Capricorn on 21 July. This has been sitting incomplete in my kitchen drawer for weeks, and with the encouragement of the brush turkey, it is out now even though it seems meaningless in terms of timing.
There is a mix of messages but the theme here is "to persevere and be malleable in pursuing what we want".
The brush turkey is the center of the show here. With a prominent fan-like tail, he reminds us to hold our heads high and be proud of who we are. This simple-minded bird may look stupid and is sometimes despised for making a mess in the garden, but he is really an embodiment of independence, strength, perseverance, focus and simplicity. The chick has to burrow its way out of half a meter of soil once hatched, and relies on its own instinct to survive without any parental care. When he decides to build his mound, the drive is unstoppable and he works relentlessly until a mound the size of a car with perfect incubation temperature is established.
The Earth invites us to embody the spirit of the brush turkey, defying all odds to turn our ideas and dreams into form. "Know that you can", she said.
The Moon also invites us to expand, to stretch our limits, and to break the ceiling.
To support us through this challenging phase as we move through the resistance, we are asked to simply allow the Water to purify our hearts.
LET IT IN, whatever "IT" means for you.
