Once in a Blue Moon

Here is a wonderful article I shared last night at our Blue Moon Meditation..Enjoy 
On Friday, July 31st we will have a Full Blue Moon in the sign of Aquarius.
A blue moon is the term for the second full moon in the same month. The first full moon of the month was in Capricorn on July 1st, and now we are saying good-bye to this month of change with a special blue moon.These full moons have been the bookends to the important lessons learned over the past month.
One of the most special aspects of this moon is that we won’t have another blue moon month until 2018. For many of us, we will be receiving our last bits of a long awaited wake-up call that actually began back in 2012, far before most of us were aware of the changes that were developing.
The energies of this moon are only being magnified by Venus turning retrograde on the 25th, which is just one of seven planets slowing and turning retrograde the week prior to this lunar event.
This cosmic event is unprecedented—it’s truly a month of transitions.
The skies have collided to physically slow all of us down. It seems that it is so easy for most of us to get caught up in our daily lives that we often feel we can push aside issues or decisions because it seems like there will always be more time—more chances.This moon we are being asked to stop, look around and to see the bigger picture.We are being asked to notice where in our lives we have been neglecting the truth, or what situations we have been putting off. It’s not easy to deal with life head on—but this moon isn’t only encouraging it, it is making it a requirement.
There is so much happening around this moon in terms of once-in-a-lifetime type chances. It’s as if we are all on the edge of something so big and we have to make the decision to take the path we’ve always taken—or to jump into the territory of new possibilities.Because of Venus, the planet of love, going retrograde a week prior to this moon, there will be a heavy connection to romantic relationships. This isn’t about just any sort of love though—it’s about the kind of love that comes around only once in a blue moon.The full moon will be shining a decadent light of truth deep within our hearts.This will give us the opportunity to get a good grasp on what is in our heart of hearts—if we don’t have our soulmate or twin flame as our lover, then there is a good chance we are aware of who they are, or may start to recognize them around this time.
Sometimes the most wonderful aspects of our lives can be the most terrifying—and that is okay, no one ever said greatness and easiness were one and the same. The thing we all have to remember, though, is that if it doesn’t scare us even a little bit, then it lacks the ability to be that once in a lifetime opportunity to change our lives for the better.Nothing amazing ever comes from us staying in our comfort zones.This is about opening our eyes to what is right in front of us—and knowing that some chances don’t come around every day.Sometimes situations come down to now or never—this blue moon is showing us exactly what we are afraid of losing the most, and it’s challenging us to make the big moves necessary now.While it is true that those people that are meant for us, that they won’t ever leave us—sometimes humans make the wrong decisions. We make choices based on fear, or try to do what we think is right instead of listening to our hearts.
It seems that so many of us the past few years have been making as many wrong decisions as possible, and while it has seemed difficult, and even painful at times—know that it was necessary, and all part of the divine plan.Sometimes we really do need to experience everything that is wrong to know what is right.As amazing as this moon will be, and necessary—it’s going to be one that challenges us on every single level. In the build up to this lunar event we may have been feeling restless, or have had an excess of nervous energy. Our pulses may have been racing, and it may have been harder for us to relax or fall asleep at night.Our souls can sense that we are on the verge of something big—but it’s up to us to initiate change. We are on the threshold of having massive pieces of the puzzle collide. There may be big changes or upsets in the status quo during the next several weeks. We may find ourselves acting in ways that only a few weeks ago we never thought possible, but Aquarius is lighting a fire inside of our hearts and daring us to break the boundaries that have held us back for far too long.We can only deny ourselves of what we want the most for so long.While we may feel anxious at all of the possible changes being presented to ourselves—know that the universe won’t bring us anything we aren’t ready for.The truth of it is there is no such thing as the perfect time—so now is as good a time as any.
Everything that we have been going through the past year has been leading up to this moon. It’s the time of infinite possibilities, of desires bubbling over and manifesting themselves in our lives in ways we never thought possible.No matter what has come in or out of our lives in the past few years, once in a while we are given the chance to have everything we’ve always wanted—we just have to make the choice now to not let it go.Because certain chances only come around once in a blue moon.

Sharon's Take ~ July 2015 Life Is

Sharon's Take ~ July 2015 Life Is

I think this is my only other monthly message this year, the first being in January lol. It is kind of fitting that I am actually sitting down to write this at the half way point for 2015. How has it been going for you? 

I thought that with not doing my radio show in the first three months of the year that I would have more time for writing and it seems that I have less. I also thought I would miss my radio show more than I actually do. I have been busy doing local events and so I guess that fills my need to share. I do miss parts of the show and the people I have met in the outer world, but I do not miss rushing home to be ready for the show, often not eating dinner because there wasn't time. 

This past year so many changes in my life. First my new little puppy Pixie has certainly changed my schedule. She has not been as easy to house train as Bella was. Not sure what the difference is except Bella had a more regular schedule. I have found that I used to get the angel message out each day before we would need to go out and now that is different. Pixie must go out first and then if I am lucky I can get the message done before Bella wants to go out. At first I found it annoying and yet it didn't matter what I thought, the girls didn't understand my schedule...after all, I am the human they are the dogs lol. Anyway, I adapted to the change which was a good lesson on acceptance for me. 

My monthly articles for Beliefnet are changing this month (a month of transition no less lol) as I am becoming a regular contributing writer and will have publications a few times a week. I am looking forward to the change in status and presentation of our work. It will still feature working with your angels but in a new and different way. 

June brought us a respite in the energy shifts, did you feel it lol? With the mercury retro ending and an almost 2 week break in the solar flares and storm activity at the end of the month I do hope some of you managed to use the window to regain your footing for July. 

We began this month with a few of the biggest storms I have ever seen and also a flare or two and have continued on this week with the same pattern. Disruptions in the force can be expected. 

It is a month of transition so change and finding its rightful balance will be the key and theme for the month anyway. This could bring with it some drastic life altering changes for many but even if it doesn't feel good as you are going through it...it is truly the gift you  have been asking for from spirit so buckle up and hang on for the ride...even if it is a bit of hair blown full back experience. You will survive it and be so much stronger because of it or perhaps in-spite of it, regardless, a rose is still a rose. 

Life is what it is. Sometimes you have to learn to duck, tuck and roll and at other times you get move along nicely smelling the flowers along the way., and sometimes you fly, full throttle in forward movement. Whatever this energy is bringing to you, take the steps, do the journey and be fully prepared each day to show up and be accounted for. You only get today, each day, so make it count as best you can for yourself. Make a plan, form a strategy of your goals and inspirations and release all attachment to how it should appear for you in your life and trust that it is so. The world is your oyster, your blank canvas upon which to create, trust in yourself, trust in your power, trust in your life. 

Enjoy your month of transition and change. Hold the focus of your intentions so they they will continue to unfold for you and enjoy the ride along the way.

7 Steps to Finding Your Clarity

The answers that you seek are within you. Look into your heart right now, for you know what is best and right for you. Be open to giving and receiving and trust that you are in exactly the right place. All that you need is already with you - you don't always trust that this is true. When you do trust, will see remarkable results, so use those times as your strength to lean on when you need extra support as you find the path that is right and best for you.

 Get Your Mind Really Clear

As you clear your mind and get really focused on what is most important to you, that focus helps you to find the clarity of your purpose in what you are facing now in your life. Sit quietly for a bit and find that still, wise centre within you. Then, focus upon your heart and let that light radiate through you and all around you and dissolve any thoughts and feelings that are not necessary right now. When your thoughts and feeling are calm, shine the pure light of your heart on what it is you desire to understand or bring into your life. Keep your focus and breathe deeply for a few minutes holding the desired thoughts or your intention.

A fresh perspective will help you. See things from a different perspective. You're strong desire to move on to something more meaningful is ripe and ready for action. Look past what you are currently feeling or dealing with and remember that the first step towards the changes you desire is the most important. Refuse to be stuck in a situation that doesn't make you happy or support your growth. Don't wait for someone to rescue you, this is all about you and making the choices and seeing things clearly and trusting in yourself. You have great strength and courage and this will help you see things differently to gain clarity in understanding.
