Building a City of Dreams is No Easy Feat

I know it's been a looooooong time since some style images graced the pages of MojoMade, but despite the fashion absence, I promise you I've been getting dressed each day and I generally look pretty cute with what I put together - there just doesn't seem to be a photographer handy these days to capture my style-awesomeness. I kid, I kid!

But no, really, those HUGE changes are still happening in my life, and style images just seem to be hitting the cutting room floor in the big picture of life right now. Yeah yeah, I've been saying that whole 'things are shifting' line for a long time now, but it's even true-er every time I say it. I just didn't realise HOW far away the end of that rainbow actually was and that once I got there, I'd have to DIG to get to the pot of gold. And that once I hit something solid, it was just a little box with a note in it saying "You had the power all along dear".

My life-movie is like a mixture of The Alchemist and The Wizard of Oz, but I'm a unicorn riding, guitar playing Rainbow Bright and the soundtrack is a mash up of The Doors and The Rolling Stones.

Anyways, I can assure you that I didn't think starting up a NEW business and NEW label (hint hint) whilst making NEW music was going to be SUCH a big job as it has always been so much easier than this for me. But then, that's what happens when you're ready for a bigger, better, more outlandish dream - the stakes are higher and the work load is heavier - but I know from experience that the rewards are greater, more fulfilling and the journey is more exciting the whole way!

Man, building a whole city of dreams is no easy feat, especially when you used to only build one house at a time! But, who knew taking responsibility for your life could be so much fun? Ha.

Full Moon in Pisces: September 8th 2014

Some of my Monday morning Pisces manadala artwork, follow me on instagram for more

▲❂▲
As I’m working more with astrology, crystals, tarot and general awareness, I’m finding it all useful in so many more aspects of my life, from business to how I create art, making big decisions, my approach to wellness, travel and meeting kindred spirits… So, in light of that I thought it epically important to share what is happening with the full moon tonight, September 8, 2014.
(Actually, it’s technically at 11:30am tomorrow morning, but you’ll get the best view tonight.)

Below is my personal interpretation of what’s going on for us with the full moon in Pisces. Instead of regurgitating technical information from astrology sites - which can get really confusing - I’ve interpreted everything I’ve read, seen, heard and felt around this full moon. At the end of the post you’ll find some links of the people and blogs that speak to me the most, so if you want to find out more information, I suggest you take a look at them for deeper info!

HERE'S THE BASICS

This full moon is in the water sign of Pisces, coupled with the comet Chiron. Themes are authenticity, sensitivity, deep healing, change and ultimately the embracing of the feminine energies. The underlying tone at the moment, individually and as a whole, surrounds authenticity and we’re noticing all sorts of questions and choices coming up…

Who are we really?

Does our life reflect what we really want?

And ultimately, we’re asking: What is it that I really want?

▲❂▲

Pisces is a deep sign of vast consciousness, with emotional and receptive traits. Some would say it’s the most sensitive of all the Zodiac signs, so having the full moon in Pisces opens up our collective sensitivity and awareness of our place in everything, and raises questions about authenticity in our lives.

This heightened sense of sensitivity can come in the form of blissed out awareness and happiness, or crying over the smallest of things. You could be feeling the joy in every magical moment or the weight of sadness from the world. All in all, that sensitivity is the gift that Pisces brings, so now’s your chance to go a little deeper (even if it’s difficult) for the rewards will be ever-lasting!

Chiron gives us the chance to deal with very old wounds, maybe even back to childhood, and can unearth stuff we didn’t even know was there, or chose to ignore. It could get a little heavy, but if you’re really looking for authenticity you probably need to change a few things in order to realign with your true self. Now is your chance to do it whilst riding the beautiful flow of Pisces, and deal with those things once and for all. It’s time to re-frame your perspective and let go of repressed angers, old hurts and addictions to behaviours that no longer serve us.

Healing yourself should be your first priority with this full moon, because Pisces brings strong feminine energies to the forefront of our consciousness. Owning and nurturing what makes us feel truly happy in our lives, and committing to it, is one of the keys to mastering the strength of feminine energy. It’s about honouring the sacred, creative and nurturing side which ultimately brings a calm and quiet strength – instead of that loud kind of strength that basically drowns out all of the beautiful little details in life.

Take a look at Mystic Mamma for an incredible collection of beautiful astral readings, if you've enjoyed and related to my post, you'll find even more there. Light some candles, run a bath and relax into whatever this gorgeous full moon in Pisces is calling you to heal. Enjoy!

The Catalyst is in The Eye of The Storm

*Images via Mara Hoffman*

Something magical happened when I saw this image, it anchored me. 

Like it jumped out of the screen and I was pulled right into it all at the same time. It's part of the latest campaign for Mara Hoffman, "Without a Dark Sky, We Would Never See The Stars". I can't even tell you how deeply I feel that and everything about this campaign right now. You see, the moment I saw this picture, I realised I had actually been spinning. Isn’t it strange how you can be totally oblivious to what’s happening until something stops you dead in your tracks and you get the chance to take a look around? And to think that an image could speak so powerfully to someone, that it could encapsulate such an energy to be the catalyst for a whole new version of life... Well that is true art, which speaks for itself... But here's a few thoughts anyway... :)

This month has been a total storm for me... 
I told the Universe I was ready to handle what I needed in order to create this thing I'm piecing together, and as usual, the Universe delivered with it's beautifully forceful, unravelling, disintegrating, empowering force.  I guess the lessons you need just don't always come in the easiest or nicest of ways...

So this storm came out of nowhere and each little burst of lightning was unpredictable, the thunder caught me off guard every time and then there were fires to put out all over the place. All in all it was really getting me kind of annoyed! I was all like ‘seriously though, I’m not a firefighter – I’ve been chasing rainbows and singing tunes around the campfire - can’t someone else deal with this shit?’ Which of course is a pretty good reason for a storm to arrive – it’s like someone’s saying ‘Oh really Morgan? You think you’ve got everything sorted and smooth and dealt with? OK – lets see how you deal with this!’

Ahhhh… Classic Universe, always throwing curve balls.

So, something I’ve found in constantly taking risks and growing into big dreams, is that life really isn’t about avoiding storms, it’s about accepting the storms when they arrive. Coz they will.

You can easily spend all your time spinning, trying to keep your head above water, hoping that this time you’ll make it through the chaos. But it’s like this: true clarity comes from stillness, and the only stillness in a storm is right in the centre of it all. See, the real trick is knowing that every storm has an eye, and that finding the eye of the storm is the key... So, the sooner you figure out your path to eye of the storm, the sooner you will find stillness. Or is it: the sooner you find stillness, the sooner you will be in the eye of the storm?

Now take all of that and consider this: 

Now you’re not just in the eye of the storm – you are the storm itself, and the eye is just one part of the whole thing… 

Once you get that concept, you’ll really start to harness your awesomeness!

Love + Lightbeams xx
