\u00a0Does the thought of your fragile mortality hold you from following your dreams? \u00a0Does the specter of unfulfilled desire choke your free expression? \u00a0Now is the time to face this! \u00a0The Moon, driven by the power of this moment, is poised to pull your darkness into the light, just as it pulls the tides of the oceans. \u00a0Will you respond? \u00a0Will you let your waters rise?<\/p>\n<p>The magnetic pull, the rising force of the Moon draws you forward. \u00a0As the the globe advances above the trees, you feel yourself pulled upward, lifting off of the ground and into the sky! \u00a0Higher and higher you travel, and as your body is pulled, so are the depths of your soul. \u00a0The creatures that have lived within your darkness for years find an opening in your heart and\u2014release! \u00a0That which has been hidden is now seen clearly, and the joy of this vision bursts within you. \u00a0You are free, and it is a freedom of your own making. \u00a0Every fiber of your being rejoices!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slowly, the ecstasy of the moment subsides. \u00a0You settle to earth once more, and begin the journey that will take you from this place of magick, back into the life you live day to day. \u00a0But the days that follow will not be the same as the ones that came before; you have joined with the powers that live within. \u00a0You have done your Work, and are transformed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Listen to the audio version of this meditation:<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-260-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Dark-Visions-Full-Moon-in-Scorpio.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Dark-Visions-Full-Moon-in-Scorpio.mp3\">http:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Dark-Visions-Full-Moon-in-Scorpio.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<hr \/>\n<p>For further reading:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/chaninicholas.com\/2016\/04\/full-moon-in-scorpio-beneath-the-facade\/\" target=\"_blank\">Full Moon in Scorpio: Beneath the Facade<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You find yourself in a clearing in the woods. \u00a0It is night, and the clear sky is washed with a spray of stars. \u00a0You turn to face the East, noticing [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":269,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260\/revisions\/269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
