The Luna Moth, The Phases of the Moon, and the Spiritual Significance of Signs that Appear in our Lives
The Luna Moth may be considered one of the most spiritual and mystical of Spirit Guides.
To meet one is a special gift, for when she is in her adult moth stage she only lives for approximately one week. While living through their adult moth life they do not eat, for they have no mouth. One might say that their purpose is to reproduce, but I say it is to bring forth the next generation with love.
They are born, they transform, they love, they die, and then are again reborn. Their cycles are short, as are our years while we are here. We are reminded to make the most of our moments and to live and love to the fullest.
She is most often seen in the evenings, attracted to the moon and to the light.
She speaks of our connection to the Feminine, our inner spirit, and our trust in ourselves.
We learn of the importance to find the balance between light and dark, the seen and the unseen. She is a reminder that when all is said and done, our healing and sense of love are the ultimate journey.
The caterpillar and its metamorphosis into the moth, is a spiritual metaphor for our own transformation. Much like the caterpillar's metamorphosis, we may at times feel like our guts are being ripped apart and turned to mush right before our eyes.
The moth is also the spiritual symbol of the Divine Feminine and her transcendence, from the caterpillar's perspective it can feel like a death rather than a transformation, and yet the moth gracefully emerges, whole, complete, beautiful, and free. We must set aside everything we once knew and understood about our world and fully embody an entirely new way of being in the world.
The releasing of our past patterning and attachments can very much feel like we are being torn apart from the inside, a painful death of our very comfortable caterpillar body, we were used to crawling on the ground and eating our way through our emotions.
Then on the other side of this confusing and gut wrenching loss of self, we emerge with wet wings, no longer do we crawl, our legs have been transformed, and we fly, almost effortlessly, to sip nectar from the blossoms of flowers.
The ascension process of our Highest Self.
You must surrender completely and trust that some intelligence higher than yourself is guiding you through this process into complete rebirth and freedom.
Luna moths signify new beginnings as they represent a continuing quest for truth and knowledge, the gift of intuition, psychic perception and heightened awareness. Things that are associated with “seeing the light”.
Luna Moth : Protection and Guidance from the Highest Wisdom.
Face your limitations as this is a time of rebirth and limitlessness, open yourself to awareness and new sight, and favorable outcomes will be yours. Know you are always guided and supported in all activities.
The Full Moon: A time to connect with the rhythms of the Earth and see light within the darkness…
Learning to navigate your experiences in a new way, without fear, without shame is how you will create what it is you so deeply crave.
The Cycles of the Moon:
The New Moon marks the beginning of the cycle and the Full Moon is the completion.
At the Full Moon, the energy is powerful and intense. This surge enables you to take action – especially in regards to the New Moon intentions you may have made. This is a perfect time for releasing something that no longer serves you; or letting go of something that you no longer need in your life; or an opportunity to let go of an aspect of yourself that you have outgrown.
New Moon (or Dark Moon): A new cycle. An energy of new possibilities. Time to set your intentions for what you want to bring into your life.
Waxing Moon: New growth, continued action, results will come about
Full Moon: High tide of power, amplifying and creative. It is a time to release that which no longer serves you, what you no longer need in your life or an aspect of yourself that you have outgrown.
Waning Moon: Withdrawing, pulling energy
Dark Moon: A time to go within. Solitude. A powerful psychic time where revelations from deep within can emerge. It’s important to make space for the unfolding of spirit at this time in preparation for the new cycle and beginning.
