Charm Torres: Embodying your Moon for Ancestral Sustenance<\/b><\/p>\n
Friday, July 14, 2023, 1 \u2013<\/span> 3 PM PDT<\/b><\/p>\n Centre A (Zoom)<\/b><\/p>\n \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n Register HERE<\/b><\/a><\/em><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n Join Charm Torres for an afternoon of exploring the Moon from your birth and the inherent webs of ancestral connection reflected in your birth chart. Your Moon is so much more than your emotional self. Your astrological birth chart is not just about you, but it is also about multilayered stories, people and places that surround your life. We will learn about your Moon with the intention of supporting your ancestral rituals and practices. Embodying and connecting with your Moon can help you navigate your desire for belonging. You\u2019ll come away with practical and creative ideas to nourish your need for ancestral sustenance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Disclaimer: You don\u2019t have to know much about astrology to attend. However, it can be helpful to have a basic understanding of your birth chart. Bring your open heart, curious mind and writing tools as we will do some writing-oriented exercises to support your learning.<\/span><\/p>\n Embodying Your Moon For Ancestral Sustenance<\/b><\/p>\n At the live workshop on <\/span>Embodying Your Moon For Ancestral Sustenance, <\/span><\/i>I guided the audience with creative writing prompts for developing a character for the Moon in their birth charts. The primary purpose of this exercise was to build an understanding of one\u2019s Moon as a point of entry into ancestral veneration work. <\/span>Within this premise, exploring one\u2019s birth chart can help us experience more intimacy toward parts of our fate that often require time, grace and kindness.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to the information provided at the workshop, I\u2019d like to share the <\/span>Lunar Phases<\/span><\/i> as an added detail for your lunar characterization exercise. In the birth chart, the lunar phase describes the quality of the relationship between the sun and the moon when you were born. They express the dynamic balance between the soul\u2019s purpose (sun) and the body\u2019s need for care and safety (moon).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Find out what your natal lunar phase is and consider these questions for your moon\u2019s characterization:<\/span><\/p>\n WAXING PHASES:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n New Moon<\/i><\/b> – a birth, a seed in the dark<\/span><\/p>\n Questions:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n What is emerging in your life?<\/span><\/p>\n Do you honour your intuitive impulse?<\/span><\/p>\n How do you take risks to birth something into being?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Crescent Moon<\/i><\/b> – <\/span><\/i>a vulnerable will to live, a budding plant<\/span><\/p>\n Questions:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n How does the past pull you back?<\/span><\/p>\n What struggles have you gone through?<\/span><\/p>\n What kind of resilience do you draw upon to fight against inertia?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n First Quarter Moon <\/i><\/b>– time for action, stems and roots expand<\/span><\/p>\n Questions:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n How do you execute your thoughts into action?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n How do you organize in the face of crisis and chaos?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What is gaining light as you reach the point of no return?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gibbous Moon<\/i><\/b> – exacting perfection, the flower buds form<\/span><\/p>\n Questions:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n What needs to be urgently expressed but needs critical inquiry?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n How do you manage your expectations under immense pressure?<\/span><\/p>\n Is your desire for perfection detrimental to realizing your full potential?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n WANING PHASES:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Full Moon<\/i><\/b> – peak illumination, the flowers bloom<\/span><\/p>\n Questions:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n What oppositional tension are you trying to balance?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What is being fully shown, for better or for worse?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What is now clear to you?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Disseminating Moon <\/i><\/b>– distributing the harvest, the flowers now bear fruits<\/span><\/p>\n Questions:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n What messages and gifts are you now distributing?<\/span><\/p>\n Do you readily project your values and beliefs onto others?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n How can you better develop learning from others?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Last Quarter Moon <\/i><\/b>– deconstruct and reassess, decomposition begins\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Questions:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n What has reached its peak form?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n How can you start to wrap up and clean up?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What old structures are you turning away from?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Balsamic Moon<\/i><\/b> – descent and transmutation, the seed gets replanted back into the dark soil<\/span><\/p>\n Questions:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n What have you learned and understood deeply?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What needs to be transformed and let go?<\/span><\/p>\n How can you best prepare for the end?<\/span><\/p>\n \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n Charm Torres<\/b> is a professional divinatory guide \u2013 with astrology and tarot as the main tools of her trade\u00a0 \u2013 and a multi-disciplinary artist in her approach to life.
