The opposing energies of the Full Moon in Capricorn and Sun in Cancer makes an interesting combination possibly causing intense feelings, confusion, contradiction and conflict. Incidents & accidents may occur without notice.
Personally I have been feeling the intensity and yesterday I found myself flat on the ground ...literally.
My dog took off after a deer while I was walking him on his lead. Unfortunately I was not paying attention... not being present with our experience together. I was not attending to his needs fully by not being present and hung on while he charged towards the deer. I went down and he continued to pull Today I am feeling battered and still a little shaken. I thought I may have sprained my arm but the pain eased somewhat today so I cancelled heading off to the hospital.
Sometimes the universe give us a good knocking when we are not paying attention. I have been very busy with many different projects and not really taking care of myself on many levels. This “accident” has forced me to slow down and think about every move I make. Tasks performed with one arm takes much longer than you might think! Thought and presence is required before performing everyday movements we take for granted to avoid painful results. I am so very grateful it was not my right arm as I am right handed, otherwise this moon meditation would not have been completed today.

Capricorn – earth sign, responsible, serious, disciplined, stubborn. Cancer – water sign, nuturing, family, home, sensitive, feelings and emotions.

We are being called to responsibly nuture ourselves, our loved ones, our gifts, our purpose. A reminder to first look after yourself as you are no good to anyone if you are compromised, disconnected, in a state of dis-ease. Let's be responsible for our own beingness... slow down, be present and nuture anything arising that requires our attention.

More quality time with my dog is calling to me, as well as taking the time to get back on track with meditation and physical activity. To be more balanced – mind, body and spirit. Time to get back to painting too!

Stags have been showing up all over for me so I had to include him in my moon meditation today. Stag represents Masculine Energy, Guidance, Gentleness, Healing, Connection to the Earth and the Forest, Alertness, Psychic Power, Independence, Purification, Strength, Nobility.
He stands atop the rolling hill, alert to what is being presented before him, strong, noble and independent. The rolling hills a reminder to roll with the “punches”.. be in the flow of life

The Capricorn ram is present to remind us to be surefooted and stay steadfast in our journey. Most of all let us be kind, tolerant and forgiving of self as well as others with the warm, nurturing energy of the Cancer Sun. Take time for you! I hope you enjoy this moon meditation!

Sending love and blessings to all.
