Mystic Musings: How To Handle All This Darkness

Right now we’re in the dark side of the moon, we’re having a new moon eclipse tomorrow. It’s the 3rd of three eclipses that started a month ago. People have been going huge growth spaces. I’m not an astrologer, but I see astrology as an energetic component of the hologram, that is the world we’re creating as Consciousness. It’s like energy weather. We can use it to our advantage, like wind in our sails.
So eclipses open doors, create sudden new changes, beginnings and endings. But they also ‘eclipse things’, which sometimes means shining light hidden things but also means not everything is fully revealed. Change can be initiated that doesn’t become fully clear for a month to six months.
So we’re going through dark times, some of us are fumbling around, many of us are frustrated that there isn’t enough light yet. Especially those of us who are light bringers and healers, who want to illuminate, enlighten, clear, and restore to wholeness.
I have to confess, I’m still a little afraid of the dark. But that’s because I sense denser energies as I move through it. In my last house, which was built in 1905, I always felt energy just outside the bedroom door (which made it real fun to go to the bathroom at night).
In my current house, which was built in 1956, the family that lived in it 60+ years has had at least two members that have passed. So I’ll feel the presence of one in our hallway (most likely the one who passed most recently). I’ve just learned to walk through it without resisting.
In the old days, I’d do an exorcism. In recent times, I’ve just been navigating around it. But it occurs to me to do a different kind of energy work, a kind of house blessing, which brings it into present time. It gently releases energies absorbed from the past and assists them to their next level of evolution.

We just had the Winter Solstice, in the Northern Hemisphere the shortest day of the year. It means that now the days will start being longer. I find it ironic that it’s also the coldest time and with the worse weather.
And as I think about it, the Summer Solstice means the days are starting to get shorter, but August always is the warmest month and the evenings seem to go on forever.
This planet is full of dichotomies.
From an external perspective, Winter is when nature seems to go dormant. The ground is hard, trees have gone bare of leaves. And yet, below the surface, nature is very much alive. Seeds are germinating, and animals are hibernating with their young.
On an unseen level, Earth’s architects are planning the future growth cycle. Come the Equinox, these plans will be delivered into form and become physically apparent as the seasons change.
Besides the darkest time of the year, it’s often the most painful. Many people pass during the holidays. I personally think this is because the veil between worlds is thinner.
We go through similar evolutions in our lives, and its feels harder when we cannot see what is coming. We feel like we’re in a time of increasing darkness that is never going to end.
And yet, even in darkness, there is always light. It may be that, with all that is happening, we can’t feel it.
No matter what is going on in your life, whatever is occuring in your storyline, there is always reason to hope.
It does get better.
Above the worst blizzard, the sun is still shining.
