With this Super Blood Wolf Moon in Leo we are being asked to clear old fear based patterns that lead to the expression of the toxic masculine and feminine. Although both sides, masculine and feminine, are in need of healing and balance, right now there is a focus on the need for the masculine to rise up in his power. The masculine energy is being called to tap into the connection with spirit. His heart chakra is opening and the mask that he has worn for so long is beginning to wear on his soul. In order to release, the masculine must stand strong in his own power and let go of the fear that has stopped him from seeing himself as he truly is beneath all the layers that have consumed him. As the layers are peeled back, a more softer version will begin to appear; making him feel vulnerable and a bit uneasy. During this transition, it is important for him to shield himself from any negative energies (relationships, environments) that may bring him down and create a barrier in the growth process.
PROTECTION
The masculine is asked to stay aware of his connection to Spirit/Source. He is divinely guided and is protected. The realization that he does not have to do it all on his own is what will allow him to ease into this transformation. For so long, the masculine energy on planet earth has been trapped in a paradigm that tells him he is alone and that his innate need to serve and protect must come solely from his own forcefulness. This is exhausting and it is time for him to honor his connection with the higher powers that have always surrounded him, allowing his outer shell to soften. This softening will make it easier for his higher self to merge with his ego; revealing his own divinity. He is a warrior but he does not have to do this alone, he is fully supported.
SHADOW WORK
With this transformation will come the requirement to engage in some deep shadow work. The need to examine attachment to lust, envy, and control will come up in this work with some. Addictive behavior and attachments are surfacing as they are called to be released. This all connects back to the inner child healing that must occur, in other words, healing of the situations that created the initial feelings of being unlovable. This feeling of being unloved has been repeated throughout his story in different ways, with different relationships. What it has done, is allowed the toxic feminine to use this weakness as a means to feed her own insecurities. We can see this manifesting now in the collective in the repression and containment of the divine masculine energy. Masculine energy is being shamed and controlled; placed in the corner as punishment for the mistakes he made while entertaining his shadow. The issue here is that the punishment will not lead to healing. What needs to happen is that both the masculine and feminine energies come into alignment, acknowledging the lack of love at the core.
CODEPENDENCY
The feeling of being unworthy of love has caused the masculine to draw in experiences that are not conducive to growth. What these experiences are actually doing is reflecting back to him his own belief of powerlessness. It can be seen throughout history in oppressive, tyrannical institutional structures. We must realize that these autocratic systems are manifesting as a reflection of our collective denial of the divine masculine’s sovereignty. We accept less than we deserve and settle for our mental enslavement because we fear our own power, ending up in codependent relationships that do not serve our soul. Divine purpose can not be manifested in codependency because we lose ourselves, along with our connection to the spirit world, when we settle for this comfort.
Love is always the answer. If the masculine energy can connect to the divine love of the higher powers he no longer will cling to unhealthy behaviors, environments, and relationships. This divine love feeds his soul, reminding him of his purpose here on earth. He becomes awakened in a new, softer version of his power that emanates from from his soul. This light within him relieves him from the expression of excessive force as a means of control. A calmness and sense of grounding appears, permitting him to let go of destructive attachments that no longer serve the greater good. The warrior/provider/protector that has always lived in him remains but it is now illuminated in spirit, flowing gently from the source of unconditional love. He has become a “gentle” man with fulfillment in his soul.
