If you close your eyes and focus in on a full moon, a wolf, darkness, a mother, or any symbol you can create with these archetypes, you may realize how intense their vibrations are! This means that the vibration of January 10th, 2020 is vibrating at an unusually high level.

*A Lunar Eclipse is quite uncommon and can only take place when the sun, moon, and earth are all in alignment with one another*

“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”
-Buddha
By now, you can probably understand the connections between these archetypes. Each of these symbols play a part in our childhood, our emotional experiences, our growth, transformations, and feminine aspects.

Life!
Isn’t it beautiful?
Feel the freedom of releasing what isn’t needed and aligning to your highest self!
