Revision of Intention and Appearance

Friday, January 13, 2006
Capricorn Lunation
Gibbous Phase
Capricorn Sun
Sun Cancer Moon

Here's my rendition of Clare Goodwin's New Moon Mandala for this cycle.



Since the Gibbous phase connects to the New phase, it's a good practice to look back at the emotions and imagery connected to the seeds of intention sown at that time. As it turns out, I didn't post during the New phase of this cycle, although I did make a post called "What should have been."

All my posts this cycle have been made during the last few hours of each phase. Yes, I know, I qualified it myself by noting Saturn's rulership with the sign of Capricorn and its association with moving slow. Saturn is also known for the "shoulds" associated with it and guilt is yet another saturnian word.

I remember my first mentor's caution about the guilt that "should" produces. One of her favorite expressions was, "Don't should on yourself."

While I was creating the mandala, I realized that using this lunation cycle to plan out all of 2006 may have been a bit too much. Although, the idea of gathering more information about what a 9 year means and working with a different aspect of it each cycle, is certainly doable.
