Close to Home- New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Leo

Hello out there and a pleasant new moon evening to you!

I am not sure how you may be feeling today, or have felt in the days leading up to today, but I must say I feel absolutely depleted. Personally 2017 thus far has been a year about self-care and personal truth. Month after month my feelings to push myself and push my environment to make something change has been met by a universal calm which gently tells me "No." I have been guided and encouraged to be tender with myself. To take naps. To take baths. To spend time in silence. To listen.

In some ways I feel like much of that time of respite has led me to this new moon and solar eclipse day. I distinctly sense a deep shift in the shared energy of our planet and deeper still the shift that has taken place in the pits of my heart. Call it divine timing if you like but after the events which America has witnessed just within the last week, I find the experience of a universal wonder so incredible as a total eclipse to be an optimistic event. Change is the constant of life, and as the wheel of fortune turns, so too does our combined consciousness ebb and flow. I feel as though we are entering a time of great flowing, an outpouring of love in the face of darkness.

Today our planet witnessed a beautiful celestial event, the total solar eclipse which is occurring in the constellation Leo. The sun and the moon stopped in the heart of the lion and for a moment met at an impasse. A moment in which action (sun) and emotion (moon) faced one another and shared sacred stillness. I hope that each of us finds the time to gift ourselves the same stillness, so that we may listen to the truth which stirs in our heart-soul.

In the week leading up to this new moon solar eclipse day I thought and thought about what exactly I wanted to do, for myself and for all those who may be joining me in curiosity and reverence. After a meditation today which helped me release personal doubts and center myself, I came away with the understanding that I should do what makes me the most excited: channeling divine beings of light.

That being said, with a little help from my Ascended Masters Oracle Deck by Doreen Virtue, I drew the following card:

'Transmission received from beloved Saint Francis of Assisi 6:12PM, 8/21/17:

Me: Thank you for coming forward today St. Francis, what would you like us to know on this day?

St. Francis: Greetings and welcome dearest ones, it is I, Saint Francis, also known as the Ascended Master Lord Kuthumi. 

What a joyous day we find ourselves in my darlings, joyous indeed. Many many of you are affected today by the powerful eclipse moving through the sign of Leo. I sense many of you are reeling from the magnificent energetic transmissions coming to earth today.

With that said, the time has come to cast away fear my darlings, fear of the other, fear of the unknown, fear of the oppressor, fear of pain, and surely the fear of yourself.
You are an incredibly powerful tool of divine creation, you are filled with more wonderful ability than you have allowed to flow out of yourself- what stops your flow? Fear my loves, that which makes you full of hesitation and doubt. The will of the creative universe which flows to you and manifests as sparkling sweet ideas is usually almost immediately banished by the heavy energy of fear. 

Get back to nature my darlings, and to truly do that I mean get back to your nature. The things that are unmistakably you, the activities, feelings and thought that are only your unique soul expression. Allow this eclipsing period to illuminate you, pour our all of the parts of you covered in the thick dark of fear- and now allow it to be dissolved. Those things are not the true you, they are keeping you silenced and afraid.

More than ever before the planet is in need of loving beings to care for it. How then could these beings care for the Earth if they do not first love themselves? What keeps you from truly loving thyself? Break away the bonds through time and space that hold  you down. Release all that keeps you complacent. You are much too brilliant my darlings.

The energies of the divine mother and divine father are inherent parts of you. Uncover what keeps you from these parts, and once you find them, be the love for yourself that you feel like you missed. Once you can truly allow love to be you, you can give that love to others and help to bring all beings into the new age of existence. It all starts with you. 

As always dear ones I am here, available to help you at a moment's notice, myself and all beings of the light are here to help you live your soul's dream! 

The only thing one must do is ASK.

You are so cherished, so loved, emerge from the darkness and see for yourself.

Me: Thank you St.Francis for your powerful insight.

Phew. Was that as intense for anyone else out there as it was for me? This message speaks to the deepest corners of my being where I thought I had hidden some things away, quite well I might add. St.Francis, who was an incarnation of the being Lord Kuthumi, comes through with an energy I can only describe as a Fairy Godmother. He is jolly in spirit, smiling with bright eyes and bulbous rosy cheeks, and I sincerely feel like he could grant a wish at a moment's notice. 

For those out there looking for a little magic in their lives, try asking for a sign, symbol, or gift from St. Francis, and be open to receiving it. It can't hurt to try, and I feel many of us out there could get better at asking for what we need, myself very much included.

I am sending everyone out there big playful Leo-lion hugs, and all my hopes for a brighter tomorrow.

Until next time,
