Dear Cathleen, your beautiful reflections on this midpoint feels like a gentle lantern held up in the deep winter, reminding us how closely our inner seasons echo the outer world ... as above, so below. The image of those monks walking for peace and the children offering flowers, brings such needed hope.

I’m lighting a candle with you today, welcoming the slow return of light and the quiet blossoming of what’s waiting within. For reasons I didn't fully understand I chose a red candle earlier. And after reading Andrea's mention of the Fire Horse in her reply, it suddenly makes perfect sense.

Full Moon and Imbolc blessings to you and yours. 🙏💖🔥🐎

Dear Deborah - yes the fire horse energy amplifies the fire we are all experiencing this year. I love the idea of a red candle! I will seek one out to use in the coming months. 💖

You express the compex significance of this powerful 'turning date', Imbolc, beautifully. A marriage between psyche and earth. Personal soul-work, and the amplified expression of Gaia. To tend both is the work of those standing in and marked by the fluctuating energies of these powerful winds of change. This 'holy day', Imbolc... definitely amplified by a full moon and a shift from the year of Snake into the Fire Horse energies. Not to be taken lightly, casually, or experienced on automatic pilot! Thank you...
