Crescent Phase

 

The crescent moon is the primary image people use to symbolize all things lunar. You find it on everything from flags and art to postage stamps and logos. You happen to be born under this famous and critical phase of overcoming the inertia of your soul's past to move onward and outward into life. You must struggle against the forces of soul inertia like a seed struggling to break through the surface of the earth. Mobilize your life by learning to take charge, getting excited about opportunities that arise, and focusing your potential.

There are hundreds of new avenues for you to explore.  Don't let fear and your patterns of resistance hold you back from stepping into new experiences. The karmic residue of your soul is murky and it will try to keep you aimed at familiar territory, familiar faces, things, and places that feel safe. But you can't fall for it. You'll rot away if you're not expanding your horizons and shining your light into unknown frontiers. Strike out by following your curiosity.

You are a creature of curiosity. Let it guide you.  Get out in the environment and move around in circles. You'll see extraordinary places and meet interesting people who will assist you in finding and fulfilling your path of self-realization. If you feel overwhelmed by karmic tendencies like dependencies, fears, habits, insecurities, addictions, and unconscious patterns, then you need to make a critical break with the past and swim into a new life that you have never known. There is a vibrant ocean of imagery and experience stirring in your heart. It's streaming with life and invoking your deepest emotions to help you dissolve your old patterns of being. 

When you finally close those creaking old doors, new ones will blast open!   Thoreau said, "Most men live lives of quiet desperation."  Don't settle for a life of quiet desperation!  Get out into life and stretch yourself across its blank pages. Don't fill those wonderful shining pages with the garbage of your soul's past. You've been there and done that. Time for something new! Don't think that this won't be a painful process, either. It beats dying in place though. You are too susceptible to the opinions of those who love you. Treat those who would have you throw in the towel on your destiny to live a secure normal life as inside traitors secretly plotting your demise and just listen to your heart and follow its invisible compass into your destiny. It alone will point the way. 

Whatever your soul's ultimate goal is in this life, you must discover it and stamp it deeply and daily into your psyche, your thoughts, and your emotions. When you start getting excited in and empowered by your new life then you're on your way up your particular mountain in the world. You've got to get out of the stagnant valley and reach your apex! You may experience some shock as you encounter the harshness of the world and its daunting ability to crush your dreams and leave you stranded in random states of despair. But the frustration and disillusionment are part of the journey too and must be honored. They'll deepen you and make your vision stronger.

This is a training lifetime. You'll become more capable with each new obstacle you encounter. Crescent means, "growing one." As you grow and reach your goals the momentum of your life will increase and you'll feel alive and excited about experience, no matter the outcome. Develop your natural talents and skills with faith and perseverance and eventually the world will grant you your dreams. And when those moments of truth arrive, be prepared to take full advantage of them! The main ability you need to develop is communication. Embrace the courageous conversation with life!
