So what drains the energy out of your desires like a thief in the night? It’s the simple things really. The leaks happen in places where you slide into old habits or patterns that don’t support your intention. We all do it from time to time, but the important thing is to notice when you are engaging in behaviors that drain your creation energy and then make an adjustment.

So, what is exactly is a creation based energy leak? It’s something that decreases the life force that you have available for your creations to come into form. Imagine a boat sailing along the water toward its destination. With a leak, it will eventually stop sailing and start sinking. That same thing can happen with you and the creation of your dreams and desires, be they for your life success or the financial thriving of your business.

Nature’s principles of creation work the same no matter where they are being applied: relationships, health, wealth, or business. Each of the five core areas of creation must be directed toward any creation and each of them can also be leaking energy. Once you know how each element functions in creation you can apply it effectively and know what to watch for energetically.

Go back to the boat you were imagining earlier. The first leak you saw was in the boat itself, at th e physical level, when it began to sink. But imagine that the sails all had holes in them and wouldn’t hold the air that was propelling it forward. Or maybe the captain guiding the boat lost hope on ever reaching the destination. Each of the realms (Earth/physical, Water/emotional, Air/mental, Fire/energy, Spirit/essence) influences your outcome. And all five realms need to be aligned for the success of any endeavor.

Over the next five articles we will go into each of the realms and discuss some of the basic leaks that realm can experience. I will give you tips on how to mend those leaks and redirect your creation energy.

For now, simply start noticing the places where you are losing energy. Then pay attention to what element might be involved.

Is it physical and you see a mess all around you and you can’t get started taking action?

Or is it emotional and you don’t feel capable of making a change or creating your goals?

Do you actually believe your dreams can happen? Notice if your Air/mental realm thoughts support you reaching your destination.

With Fire, pay attention to the actions you are taking. Are they in the direction of your intention or scattered in many areas? Is indecision leaking your creation energy?

Finally, on the realm of Spirit, start noticing if where you want to go is a true desire of your heart or something you “think” you need to do.

Conscious awareness on the area that is impacted will get you started exploring the terrain of creation and the ways your energy may be leaking. This is the first step in repairing any energy holes that will help you focus your energy and effortlessly glide toward your destination.

Element: Water

Pisces, a Water sign, creates the twelfth astrological gate of awareness, teaching the importance of a compassionate heart. Water functions in the emotional feeling realm through our relationships with ourselves, others, and the world around us. Pisces as the most expanded Water sign brings a deep connection to the collective and mystical merger with the Divine. Pisces feels the grief and suffering of humanity and responds with a loving caring heart that heals. It serves the world by dreaming the visions of a peaceful planet and selflessly helping others to create a better life.

Pisces New Moon
This new moon brings you intuition and insight from the dreamy collective consciousness. Pay attention to your feelings and subtle psychic guidance. Spend some time during this new moon really tuning into the messages life is bringing you from your dreams, the signs and symbols you notice around you, and your inner guidance.

Take time during this new moon to connect to spirit and see how Source is flowing into your life. Pray, meditate, journal, and imagine the best life you can for yourself and the world around you. This is a powerful time to dream a life on behalf of the collective, a life filed with compassion, peace, and a strong connection to nature.

The most powerful action you can take during this time is to apply your imagination to the realm of creation, by dreaming your ideal world into being and holding both the feeling and image of its completion. HOLDING THE FEELING OF WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WHEN YOUR DREAMS COME INTO BEING IS CRITICAL!

Choose one or two ideas you most align with.
Personal Action Suggestions:
~ Focus on what it feels like when your dreams are fulfilled and practice, practice, practice holding that vibration.
~ Give a liberal dose of appreciation to all of the people in your life.
~ Apply more compassion to yourself and your relationships.
~ Spend time in reflection and renewal.
~ Connect to the Divine and ask for any spiritual guidance needed.
~ Feel into your creative energy and express it in a way that helps to make your hopes or dreams a reality.
~Notice the messages of your dreams and intuition and spend time reflecting on how to implement those messages if they hint at making changes to your life.

Business/Professional Action Suggestions:
~ Feel into how your business could better serve humanity and the ways you can make it do so.
~ Tune into how you can bring a greater level of spirituality into your business.
~ Notice 2-3 ways you can renew and nourish your business.
~ Connect to how you are feeling about your business and your economic flow.  Clear out any fearful or frustrated feelings and program into your feelings (inner waters) the business vibration you choose to hold.
~ Spend time imagining what you want your business to be like and take notes. Create from your dreaming.
~ Look around your business to see where you could be more creative.  Journal and then implement.

Water Reminders:
~ Water teaches ebb and flow, changing pace according to the type of water flowing. Sometimes water is calm and clear and other times it is wild and rushing, or any other possible kind of flow in-between. For greater creation capacity, learn to go with the flow and surrender into the current pace.
~ Water is a highly programmable element that magnetizes to it the same vibration it holds. Pay attention to what you are drawing into your life and adjust your water’s program where needed.
~ Water is the only element you can see yourself in. Use water’s capacity to mirror your feelings and beliefs back to you by noticing what you are experiencing and clearing what is no longer needed.
~ You wash your body, clothes, dishes, and home with water. It is the element you clean with externally and internally. When old emotional energy gets held in the body it often needs water to help it to clear and move. Tears are one way water clears and cleans energy, so watch a movie that helps you cry or schedule a clearing session when old emotional energy needs to move or when you feel blocked.

Element: Water

Pisces connects us to the vast ocean of the imaginable realm. Here we can lay our heads back and relax into the watery dreamy realm and float in an endless sea of possibilities. Our souls find creative and spiritual nourishment here as we swim in the deep watery merger with others and the Divine.

Pisces joins in mystical union with God/dess bringing psychic insights and intuition. It feels like a quiet rainy day where you are drawn inside to a still space to simply be and reflect. Pisces Sun creates a wonderful opportunity for introspection before the active growing cycle begins. It brings much needed renewal.

Now is the time to pay attention to the images that rise to the surface of your awareness from the watery depths of the unconscious. You especially want to listen to your dreams during this window. Take notes on any dreams that come during sleep or those you find yourself touching on in the daytime. What dreams are coming forward that are ready to be brought into reality?

If you get a chance to watch or re-watch the movie What Dreams May Come with Robin Williams, it will profoundly remind you of the power of imagination. This movie also speaks to our ability to assist one another through profound compassion, one of the hallmarks of the sign of Pisces. Notice what areas of your life could use more compassion and liberally apply it.

Remember water is a highly programmable element that functions magnetically. Be especially mindful during this Pisces Sun window to speak to the inner water of yourself and those around you in loving, compassionate ways so that the water is programmed with the highest-level spiritual vibration and frequency. That way the water will magnetize things to it at that same frequency level.

Mystical Pisces represents the creative soulful expression of poet, artist, and musician. Allow time to connect to your creative muse this month and bring an artistic creation forth.

Allow these two quotes from the Persian poet and mystic Rumi to inspire you.

~ “When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”

~ “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”

Creational Personal/Business Ideas for the Sun in Pisces Window
~Spend time clearly imagining and feeling the life of your dreams.
~Feel compassion for yourself and those around you.
~Connect to the watery realm of feelings and intuition.
~Pay attention to your dreams.
~Express your creative soul.
~Gain new spiritual awareness and apply it to your life and business.
~Notice the things you are magnetizing into your life and ask yourself if you need to adjust water’s program.
~Spend some time in reflection ~ contemplate, pray, meditate, and visualize.

Element: Full Moon in Cancer, Water
Sun in Capricorn, Earth

Cancer Full Moon
The Full Moon in Cancer shines a spotlight on areas in your life that need nurturing, tender loving care, and emotional tending. As you begin the New Year by structuring your goals, crafting the year ahead, and handling the administrative duties that the Capricorn sun brings, the Cancer moon reminds you to loving nurture all that is growing in your life.

As the only element in which you can see your reflection, Water functions as a mirror. It reveals what needs tending in your emotional world. The darker days of winter can give you time to go inside yourself and tend to your emotions. Is there buried grief that needs release, joy that needs room to dance and move, or soul expression that needs time to create? This full moon brings a wonderful opportunity to connect with what nurtures you on the deepest levels of your being, to fill yourself up for the growing cycle ahead.

Are there ways you need to nurture your body, your children, your relationships, your business, your home, or your projects? Cancer asks you to explore your inner terrain in ways that support, love, and bring comfort to all areas of your life. If you are not taking the time you need to do this now you might experience frustration or misaligned energy. If you notice this type of energy coming into your life take the time to ask yourself, “How do I need to apply nurturing in this situation, to myself and/or those around me?”

A great way to nurture yourself or others is to slather true appreciation all around your life, especially taking the time to appreciate all the things in life that bring comfort: a fire on a cold night, a cozy bed, a soothing cup of hot tea, the embrace of a loved one, nourishing food, or a hot bath. And then appreciate all the people in your life by telling each of them 4-5 things you sincerely appreciate in them.

Personal Action Suggestions:
~ Create personal time to feel your emotions and connect to your soul expression.
~ Appreciate the blessings in your world no matter their size.
~ Nurture yourself and then the others around you.
~ Curl up, get cozy, drink hot chocolate or tea, take a hot bath, nourish yourself.
~ Connect to your inner child.
~ Make a nourishing meal or yummy pot of soup.

Business/Professional Action Suggestions:
~ Connect to how your business needs to be nurtured in order to grow.
~ Appreciate your customers and those you work with.
~ Notice ways you can apply more soul to your work environment.
~ Can you nurture yourself more in relation to your work? If so, how?
~ What areas of your work life (or business life) need more love?
~ Are there ways your business could care more for the environment?
~ Are there ways your business could make a greater contribution to caring for others?

This Full Moon takes place during our Create a Dynamic Year 2012 Program.

Window: November 9-11

Element:
Moon Taurus – Earth
Sun Scorpio- Water

Taurus Full Moon
The earthy full moon Taurus, with the sun in watery Scorpio, brings creational magic. This juicy lusty combination of signs brings a connection to pleasure, beauty, and intimacy that expresses physically and emotionally. These two signs can unite in many different ways from tantric lovemaking to joining the power of the water realm to magnetize your desires to fully come into physical form.

No matter how you choose to work with this powerful combination, they bring the ability to connect the watery feeling source with the physical realm. This creates a potent window to feel the fulfillment of your dreams anchoring them solidly on the Earth.

If you want to see some amazing Taurus/Scorpio artistic intimacy and magic watch this performance by artists Nicolas Besnard & Ludivine Furnon (Silver Medalist in Paris at the 31th Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain) performing at “Benissimo” Live TV show 2010. Click Here to Watch!

If you want to see your desires in come fully into form this is a window of ceremonial opportunity to allow the magical creational forces of nature to powerfully assist you.  Remember to give thanks and only energize what you choose to have come into form.

Ceremonial Ideas to Work with Taurus Full Moon/ Sun in Scorpio
Choose one or perhaps two depending on your available time. For more information on calling in Sacred Space, see p. 215-223 of Natural Rhythms.

Personal Suggestions:
~ Open to express your sensuality and create beauty.
~ Work with your co-creational journal or dream board, collage and energize what you are ready to have come into form. Remember that some things you want to bring in require a gestational time on the inner (just as a baby does in the womb) before they are ready to birth or emerge into the outer world.
~ Spend some time really listening to your inner guidance in every area of your life. This is a very important time to connect to elemental wisdom by working with each element (see directions below) and to listen internally to your feelings and guidance.
~ Review your year and ask yourself where you were successful with bringing in your creations and where you can apply yourself more fully.
~ Tune into the relationship between your feelings and ability to magnetize your desires and what is showing up on the earthly level of your life. Ask Taurus and Scorpio if there are ways you could improve your capacities?
~ Sit in the light of the moon and open for insights.

Business/Professional Suggestions:
~ Honor and give thanks for your business/professional growth, development, and abundance over the last year. Determine the details o f what you would like to bring forth during the next
year.
~ Tune into the relationship between your feelings and ability to magnetize your desires in your business/profession and what is actually showing up on the earthly level. Ask Taurus and Scorpio
if there are ways you could improve your capacities to draw in what you are choosing to bring forth?
~ Create a list of anything else you need to come into place for a strong business foundation, and take solid steps toward building that foundation.
~ Either review or create your business financial goals, expenses, income, and investments.

Element: Water 

Scorpio, a Water sign, creates the eighth gate of awareness, teaching the power of feelings. It experiences the complete range of feelings, from icy and frozen to hot and steamy, and everything in-between. Its training is to learn to master its response to them. Intense and passionate about what lies well beneath the surface of current awareness, it travels deep into its feeling waters. There it connects to source, and uses the treasures it discovers there to generate life force in itself and others. It possesses a potent intuition, or sixth-sense, and an ability to travel into other realms of consciousness.

Scorpio New Moon

The deeply feeling water sign of Scorpio knows how to traverse the terrain between shadow and light. It can also bring the shadow to light in any facet of life, from what has been unsaid or unfelt in a situation, to the places where criticism, judgment, jealousy, betrayal, and backstabbing exist in our relationships and in experiences, such as leadership. Scorpio shows us how to see and feel what is hidden from plain sight.

The shadowy side of leadership can rear its head anytime someone steps into a position of responsibility for something. It can come in many forms from the leader who abuses their power by torturing or killing others such as Hitler, to those who choose to destroy a leader who is making a contribution, such as Martin Luther King.

For those with more ordinary lives, stepping into a leadership position can also bring its shadowy side effects. A backlash can occur whether you are contributing your energy as a volunteer or getting paid for your service. Whether you are leading a project, an event, a group, a company, a political office, a classroom, or simply being the one willing to show up center stage.

Those unwilling to create, to take responsibility, or step into a leadership position themselves, often without realizing it, project their judgment, criticism, fear, and jealousy on to the most visible person in the situation. Instead of stepping in to assist in creating the best experience possible, they use their energy to tear down and even destroy, either the situation, or the person or people who were willing to take responsibility.

It takes an extremely high level of emotional development and consciousness to determine if you are projecting on to someone in a leadership position. So often childhood “authority issues” arise so subtly that they are hard to detect.

As adults, we often don’t want anyone to “lead us” but we want things done that we don’t want to do ourselves. So we end up in a strange love/hate relationship with those actually willing to take responsibility to do what we don’t want to do. We find ourselves thinking they should be doing more than they are, while simultaneously criticizing and judging what they are doing.

Scorpio can help us look deeply beneath the surface to determine what we are truly holding, judging, or contributing to a situation, not just what we “think” we are bringing to the table. We may believe we are adding to the creation energy, at work for example, when in fact we may be subtly undermining what others are doing by being passively aggressive.

In this Scorpio New Moon, it is essential to your forward motion in the year ahead to determine what lies beneath the surface. Only when you see the truth can you clear any old issues that may be sabotaging your own creations, undermining and judging others, or keeping you from stepping into your full potential.

Scorpio’s powerful connection to source will help you magnetize your desires but first you need to be sure your inner water is clean and clear. If you have experienced the projections of others, this new moon brings the perfect time to clear this out of your emotional water, so you can find the heart energy to take responsibility and create anew.

If you’ve been projecting onto those in a leadership positions now is the time for you to claim your own inner leader, clear past judgments, and determine what it is you want to take the responsibility to create.

Scorpio New Moon will assist you to powerfully infuse your inner water with the feelings you want it to hold.

INFUSE THE ESSENCE OF WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WHEN YOUR DREAMS COME INTO BEING!

Choose one or two ideas you most align with.
Personal Action Suggestions:
~ Do any shadow clearing work needed.
~ Focus your creation power and infuse your inner water with feelings of completion & success.
~ Before meditation or sleep, ask to deepen your psychic power, intuition, and sixth sense.
~ Connect to your emotional maturity and notice if there is any place you are creating drama instead of using your life force to invigorate your desires.
~ Listen to your inner guidance.
~ Allow Water to teach you how to more fully connect to source as you create.

Business/Professional Action Suggestions:
~ Clear any shadow leadership issues in your business or professional life.
~ Apply your intuition to your business growth by feeling deeply into what is needed next.
~ Notice where your business/career needs more connection to source and fill it up.
~ After you are running clear, clean, emotional current use the power of Water to magnetize the next level of your professional creations.
~ Create a ceremony in the to energize your business/career growth.

Window: October 23 – November 21

Element: Water

The sun moves into Scorpio as the shadows grow longer each day and the nights lengthen in the Northern Hemisphere. This deeply feeling water sign knows how to traverse the terrain between shadow and light. This archetype helps us feel, understand, and embrace all parts of life, not just the pretty, light, and shiny parts.

In order to assist us in claiming our wholeness, Scorpio helps us face the shadowy aspects of earthly life, where we experience things that may be muddy or messy, and we feel fear, frustration, sadness, anger, or hurt. Here we learn to deal with the times when we are exposed to abandonment, loss, death, grief, depression, and the dark night of the soul.

Without the capacity to navigate in both the shadow and light, our inner resources may be too weak to handle the more challenging times of life. Scorpio helps us develop the inner tools we need to maintain our center when we are submerged in powerful feelings.

Scorpio’s capacity to travel to the depths of emotional waters brings it into direct connection to Source. This provides one of its most valuable treasures, the ability to open fully on the inner planes to a direct link to the source of creation.

From this inner place, Scorpio can teach you to follow your intuition and your sixth-sense in order to create the magical life of your dreams. Scorpio reminds you that your ability to use the magic of Source comes only when you learn to embrace all feelings and all parts of existence.

Destruction or release of the old happens hand-in-hand with creation and the bringing forth of a new energy. Only by acknowledging and being willing to let go of an old form can we enter the dark, quiet, gestational period required for our new creations to emerge.

This month, allow Scorpio to show you any repressed feelings that may need to be felt in order for you to fully experience the magic of your new creations. Allow yourself to let go of anything you no longer need so you can embrace the new when it arrives.

Creational Ideas for the Sun in Scorpio Window

~ Connect to the watery realm of feelings and intuition.
~ Connect to all your feelings and express them through movement or art.
~ Tune into what things are ready to move out of your life so that the new may come in.
~ Spend some time connecting to source and allow that link to guide your next steps.
~ Practice getting comfortable with darkness by simply sitting in the dark, in the quiet, and listening deeply within.
~ Explore any shadowy feelings that may be surfacing in your life (anger, fear, jealousy, frustration, sadness, drama, etc).
~ Take a warm bath and connect with water.
~ If you need to move any grief or sadness, watch some movies that help you cry and give yourself time and permission for tears. One of the movies I love for this is Life as a House.

The Full Moon in Pisces and Sun in Virgo brings a deep connection to the sacred in all areas of your life. This energy calls for the development of a loving, caring, and compassionate heart committed to serving humanity.

Pisces as the most expanded Water sign brings a deep connection to the collective and mystical merger with the Divine. Pisces feels the grief and suffering of humanity and responds with a loving caring heart that heals.

It serves the world by dreaming visions of a peaceful planet and joining with others to selflessly help those in need. Pisces provides spiritual nourishment through selfless service.

The sun in Virgo will help you ground your ability to serve others in practical ways, dedicated work, and ceremony on behalf of the collective. Use the added intuition that the Pisces full moon will bring to determine the grounded steps or ceremonial intention you need. Pay attention to your feelings and subtle psychic guidance.

Spend some time during this full moon really tuning into the messages life is bringing you from your dreams, the signs and symbols you notice around you, and your inner guidance. Now is the time to pay attention to the images that rise to the surface of your awareness from the watery depths of the unconscious.

You especially want to listen to your dreams during this window. Take notes on any dreams that come during sleep or those you find yourself touching on in the daytime. What dreams are coming forward that are ready to be brought into reality?

Take time during this full moon to connect to spirit and see how Source is flowing into your life. Pray, meditate, journal, and imagine the best life you can for yourself and the world around you. This is a powerful time to dream a life on behalf of the collective, a life filed with compassion, peace, and a strong connection to nature.

Personal Action Suggestions:

~ Focus on what it feels like when your dreams are fulfilled and magnetize them to you from that vibration.
~ Intuitively determine what ceremony or solid steps you need to take toward your creations.
~ Apply more compassion to yourself and your relationships.
~ Spend time in reflection and renewal.
~ Connect to the Divine and ask for any spiritual guidance needed.
~ Feel into your creative energy and express it in a way that helps to make your hopes or dreams a reality. ~Notice how you can contribute your caring loving energy to help others in need.

~ Tune into how you can bring a greater level of spirituality into your business.
~ Apply your intuition to your business, notice what needs adjusting.

Let me give you an example of how important knowing how to apply them can be if you are a teacher, trainer, or facilitator. Basically if you are teaching anyone, anything, you need to be sure and include each of the elements.

Earth/Physical: You need a step-by-step system that layers in the skills of your subject effectively. Each stage of development needs to be mastered before you add in the next level of learning. You want to take the learner from their current abilities to the desired accomplished skill capacity.

Water/Emotional: Your learners need to feel emotionally safe and supported to expand their abilities. When your trainees or students are fearful or frustrated they contract and it makes it challenging to absorb the subject. You need to help them move beyond their contracted feelings into emotional stability and competency.

Air/Mental: The thoughts and beliefs your learners hold about themselves and the subject are critical to their overall success. As the educator you build a mindset bridge from your students current mental models to the chosen outcome. You help the learner to focus their mental energy in order to develop their next skill set.

Fire/Action: Part of the job of a facilitator involves inspiring others to take action. Learners must apply energy toward any skill they are developing to achieve mastery. As a teacher you demonstrate accomplishment each time you actively show the end result.

Spirit/Essence: The more you can help your trainees fully engage and connect to the subject the deeper the learning will be for them. You also uncover the unique talents of each student and help them to bring out their abilities. As you assist them in choosing to be more effective in the subject area you draw out their success.

Leaving out any one of the elemental realms weakens your teaching results. As a facilitator, teacher, or trainer adding an understanding and basic skills with the elements can help your personal life and it can improve your training results tremendously.
