The New Moon in Cardinal Air, conjoined Diadem
Cover Artist unknown
On a sun-drenched hill, Little Spirit danced, her feet light as they caressed the earth. The wind, playfully wove through her hair, lifting each strand into a wild halo. Her body moved in perfect rhythm, not to any music that could be heard by ears, but to something far more ancient, a pulse that beat through the very core of existence.
She closed her eyes and let an unseen current guide her limbs, twirling her gracefully through the open air as the breath of the breeze filled her. Her movements felt less like a dance and more like communion, as if she was both leading and following a force far greater than herself.
Above her, the sky gleamed with the clarity of the midday sun, yet inside her was another light, bright and still, radiating from a depth, illuminating her heart, shining outward like a beacon, though invisible to those who might be watching. She felt its warmth fill her chest, growing with each fluid step, each stretch of her arms, as if something eternal had been born within her.
Stirring her heart, she felt an exquisite presence take form just before her. Ephemeral, light emanating from its clear cerulean eyes, the childlike form reached out, beckoning her to hold him, as if he were a fragile gift entrusted to her alone. With every exhale she animated his light, with every swirl of her body her kinetic energy enlivened him, and with the wind of her swirling hair, as sent eddies of primal knowing into the space between them.
Her movements began to quicken, her feet tracing spirals in the dust, her hands drawing invisible symbols in the sky. The wind responded, swirling around her in a dance of its own, and for a moment, it felt as though the entire universe was in motion with her, spinning, turning, breathing as one.
Merging with a vast, unseen rhythm, a silent tone that pulsed through all things, a note that birthed stars and whispered to the oceans, she and the translucent boy-form became one. She felt the earth beneath her, ancient and alive, and the sky above her, infinite and watching. And in that sacred union, she knew her purpose: to move in harmony with the eternal flow, to carry within her that radiant light, and to be the bridge through which it entered the world.
With one final turn, she stilled, her feet grounded in the earth once more. The wind fell to a whisper, but the energy within her remained vibrant, alive. She smiled, the presence still cradled within her, glowing softly like a secret she would hold for all eternity.
Her heart full, she inhaled the silence, and as she stood there, the sound of the world around her fell away, leaving only the quiet, steady hum of the universe, still singing its song through her, enlivened, enchanted, conscious.

You better – lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go (go)

Pulsating, vibing, that heartbeat rhythm that cascades through you, as you open yourself to the beat of Nature, to the visceral tones of audible music, your body cannot help but to move, hips rotating, arms spiralling in snake like coils, head swaying, and feet tapping. If you surrender fully to what you feel, you enter another world, losing all sensation of linear time, enraptured in the moment, completely connected, rejuvenated and child-like, lacking all self-consciousness, your entire body contorted with raw emotion, as the heat moves through you, animating and enlivening you.
Even if you are a white man who cannot dance, riddled with self-consciousness and stiff from sitting behind a computer terminal all day, you cannot but not marvel at the flow of life that streams through someone who is lost to the moment and moves without care or consideration of how they are seen, connected as they are with some elemental and primal life source, animating them and opening them up to insightful ideals and creative thoughts. The breath comes sharper, more refined and more confidently expressed having moved, and carried deeper on that ‘wind’ are messages that serve to open up further a conversation, enabling a more fluid soul path.
When you apply conscious awareness to your movement, your body becomes a vessel through which the universe moves. Each step, each turn, as you give of yourself to surrender, opening yourself up to the rhythm of creation, you cease to be an individual, losing yourself to the moment as you become one with a deeper flow of consciousness. This ‘dance’ is both ancient and eternal. It is the soul’s response to the divine call, a movement that transcends words and touches the ineffable. As your heart beats in time with the pulse of the universe, a communion of body and spirit occurs, and a deep emotional release is found. It is as though your very breath is a hymn, a prayer sung in the language of movement, where each gesture speaks of joy.
To move in this way is to engage in an act of creation, to participate in the emergence of life itself, perhaps a reason why the Egyptians spoke of the Desired Son birthing from the womb of the Maiden through her graceful movements and not her carnal knowledge. No separation exists between you and the divine in this state, as your movement, your dance is a living, breathing connection between the two.
In that moment, your body and soul align, and you become a creator, shaping space with each movement, weaving through the air like the wind through trees. This dance speaks to the deepest truths of existence, where time dissolves, leaving only the sacred remains, pulsing with life and energy.
Image source unknown but is the Dance of Shiva called “The Rhythm of Creation in the Heart of the Himalayas” In the heart of the Himalayas, Shiva’s cosmic dance unfolds amidst the snow-clad peaks and verdant valleys, symbolizing the eternal cycle of creation and destruction. His rhythmic movements resonate through the mountainous terrain, inspiring awe and reverence in all who witness the divine spectacle.
On the evening of the 2nd of October, 19:49 in Ireland, the Sun, Moon and Mercury align within the realm of Cardinal Air, also known as Libra. This sign of the zodiac holds the creation of breath, of movement and of audible expression. But beyond this replenishing of the Lights lies a faint white star-being, whose gateway opens up humanity to the birth of the Christos through losing yourself in the invisible rhythm of the Nada Brahma – the music of the cosmos that cannot be heard, but is embodied and felt. As cryptic as that sounds, it is the pulse of Nature that opens up your spirit to vision and insight, different to that of Aldebaran, whose Presence is to Guard the Sacred Hall of Light, accessed through meditation and stillness.
It is through movement that the sacred wind is generated, a breath from gOd whose susurrations open up and enliven your body, refining it to become a temple and haven in which the Word is expressed, innocently and freely.
It is my hope that you will free yourself by letting yourself fully immerse in music that lights up your soul, losing yourself to the moment and allowing the light shine through you, in an act of graceful self-abdication, as you park self-consciousness and self-awareness and open up to the pulse of Nature herself, impregnating you with creative expression and insights that will give clarity and surety in a time of chaos and division.
I wish you well as you lose yourself to find yourself.
