When the Moon Begins to Wobble -Stop and Listen

Knowing when it’s time to surrender

When the moon begins to wobble, it is time to stop the noise and just listen. It holds your truth more than the sun and stars. The moonlight shimmers upon the waters of my psyche and sheds light on the shakiness in my perceptions. We come into this world naked and alone with the vulnerability of the new moon phase. There is no visible light, yet the Moon, Earth, and Sun are perfectly lined up.

It is no longer about the man on the moon. He does not provide my answers. The feminine energy of my intuition holds my truth. Each month we travel through twelve phases of alignment, waxing and waning our inner illumination of hopes, dreams, wants, and needs.

Today, I pulled the “Void of Course” card from my Moonology deck. “Nothing will come of this situation” as I pondered my place here on the Medium platform or any of the other forms of social media. The void, of course, is the time to surrender to the divine — to attune to the moon, the card explains, is to “trust in my highest good.”

The next card, ironic yet expected, was the Full Moon card. Surrender to the divine by tuning into your emotions and trusting you are getting the answers you need.

For an introvert, social media can be the highest form of a toxic relationship. Striving to connect with creative energies, longing for deep, meaningful conversations, yet as you pour your heart and soul into that energy path, you often receive only triggers of your prior trauma. A sense of abandonment, not feeling good enough, and the shame of trying too hard to fit in are illuminated by the sound of crickets and the glaring reality of the statistics.

So, the answer came with the final card of the day, the Balsamic Moon. A time for healing. The phase has come to leave the past in the past, and when you know something is not suitable for you, it’s time to surrender. Attuning to this moon, when one is healed, all are healed.

So, for now, it is time for self-care and patience to prepare for my next New Moon. It is also a reminder to go easy on myself. The time to step into my creative power will come soon enough.

My moon is my journals. My years of streaming consciousness in my morning pages were high-jacked by titles, topics, and my next writing project. The practical, masculine inner teacher voice boomed loudly over the soft, feminine touch of my creative energy. All my other projects and goals were set into the background by the desire to connect with others and belong to something bigger. It disconnected me from the powerful healing of my subconscious because I was trying to align with other creative energies.

Surrendering to this truth is difficult, but it’s time to step away for a while. My moon goddess, Kuan Yin, is whispering in my ear that I need more compassion and healing to step into my power finally.

Miz Mindful is the embodiment of my truth — to empower the mind and muse. I have felt I was a mindful misfit with my beliefs, ideas, and goals for most of my life. The futurist humanitarian views often do not fit into societal or social consumption. I honor the woo-woo factor while trying to walk on this earth, yet my heart is with the moon.

In honor of the creative corner prompts — #10 — The Moon Begins to Wobble; #11 Shakiness in Perception; and #12 My Truth Stands Naked and Alone, which illuminated my truth and my perceptions of posting my thoughts on this platform.

For now, I am returning to where I started on this platform. Back to a reader and commenter while I pursue my other projects. I am eternally grateful for all the others on this platform who dare to heal and share their truths, particularly the members of Know Thyself- Heal Thyself and the moon goddess Diana for her incredible energy to provide a safe home to birth the healing of the moon.

Namaste!
