The Pendulum’s Invitation to Rest

Jul 20, 2026

July 20, 2026 ~ Waxing Crescent ~ 42% Illumination ~ The Phase of Gentle Emergence

Dear Beautiful,

This morning I was inspired to create a voice memo for you while lounging outside in nature. You can hear the birds singing in the background. As a highly sensitive woman, I’ve been feeling the shifts that are occurring with Andre Barbeault’s basket, and it’s guiding me toward more aligned ways of sharing.

Here is this week’s Rise & Realign Lunar Letter in audio form:

If the Day Out of Time in the 13 Moon rhythm speaks to you, I share more about remembering this ancient way of timekeeping on my blog here:

Remembering the Mystical 13 Moon Calendar

You are exactly where you need to be.

May you continue to rise, reclaim your rhythm, and remember the wisdom that already lives within you.

I’d love to know what this moment is clarifying for you. You’re always welcome to reply and share what you’re noticing.✨

If this reflection felt supportive, feel free to pass it along to another sensitive & strong woman who may need the same reminder today.

We rise together when we pause, breathe, and realign with love.

With moon and heart,

Melissa

This past week, as we’ve been drawing closer to the New Moon in Cancer, I’ve been sitting with my own deepening relationship with the moon, how...

Release and Fresh Knowing

July 6, 2026 ~ Waning Gibbous ~ 61% Illumination ~ The Phase of Release and Gentle Integration Dear Beautiful, I hope this Moon Day finds you in a tender pause with whatever your body is whispering beneath the noise of figuring things out. These days at Blue Mesa Reservoir in Colorado the air sits heavy and thick. Smoke from distant fires carries particulates deeper than I anticipated. ...

Full Moon Rising ~ Let the Light Witness, Not Demand

June 29, 2026 ~ Full Moon ~ 100% Illumination ~ The Phase of Peak Illumination and Embodied Integration Dear Beautiful, I hope this Moon Day finds you already softening into what is here, rather than reaching for what comes next.
