Feeling is your native language. You move through intuition, empathy, and emotional truth.

The Garden holds deep relational wisdom.

Your alchemy lies in containment — learning to let feeling flow without flooding, so sensitivity becomes guidance rather than overwhelm.

DESCRIPTION

The Garden of the Moon is dangerously beautiful. Emotion meets emotion, amplifying waves. You may drown in the depths. Perhaps a relationship or an aspect of yourself is upsetting you.

INTEGRATION

The Garden of the Moon is one of the wonders of Earthsee. Here, doing is suspended, and being thrives among the sculpted lawns and crafted beds.

They say an air of evening prevails, no matter the actual time of day. Night plants unfurl their petals and fill the air with harmonic scents. Graceful trees caress the air with a thousand fingers. Luminous butterflies dart and dip among pendulous flowers.

Everywhere, there is the sound of running water. Countless fountains, channels, rivulets and cascades distribute the sparkling waters of the Lakes among the flower beds.

To be here is to be in Love. In Love with self. In love with life. Despite the fondness of Lovers for the Garden, they also say, to have a partner here is not necessary. Here, one’s lover is the Moon herself.

The Garden is full of magic. Not the raw, sweeping wizardry of the Temple of the Wind, nor the intricate manouevres of the Red Arena, but the gentle, timeless charm of the moonlit night.

Savour this moment! Rest your eyes and open your heart. See what the restful night reveals. Be like water. Be its perpetual movement. Be its still depth. Reflect the stars.

If you are with someone, take their hand and dance with them. If not, you are not alone, you are surrounded by emissaries of Love. See them, hear them, sing their song.

The moon is still the moon, in all of her phases.

REBALANCE

Temping though it is to go with the flow, you may just find yourself adrift. Steady yourself and make for drier ground.

ritual

  1. Stand firmly but quietly.

  2. Speak one boundary aloud?

  3. What arises? What flows?
