Mapping with the Moon: A Portal of Awakening, Release, and Rebirth

Lauren Kay Wyatt - Illumination
Once upon a sacred threshold, beneath the veil of Eclipse Season, a circle gathered.

They came from many walks of life, yet each heard the call of the Moon. These were not ordinary travelers. They were mystics, sensitives, visionaries, and weary-hearted dreamers who longed to trust themselves again. Something ancient stirred within them, something rhythmic and lunar. It whispered, “Come. Map your way with me.”

The journey began on the cusp of transformation, during the First Quarter Moon, when the light and shadow first began to divide. Courage was summoned, not with fanfare, but in quiet moments of clarity. Here, the Moon shone her light on two illusions that many carried like old cloaks: The Illusions of Control and Sacrifice.

The one known as Junior—the ego, the small self, the voice of fear disguised as reason—clung to these illusions like a raft in a storm. But the Moon, ever patient, asked each traveler: “Where are you trying to steer the tides? Where have you given your essence away?”

Some wept. Some laughed. Some journaled by candlelight. But all began to see the truth: control is a cage, and sacrifice is not holy when it abandons the self. Together, the circle softened into deeper awareness, and a new map was drawn within.

Under the Virgo Full Moon, a Lunar Eclipse cracked the sky wide open. It was Day Two, and the veil between seen and unseen grew thin. Here, the Moon asked the travelers to release their attachment to how healing “should” look. She offered them mirrors, not just of light, but of shadow.

Two more illusions rose from the depths: The Illusions of Drama and Perfection™. They shimmered like mirages, tempting the travelers to stay in cycles of proving, fixing, reacting. But the Moon’s medicine was Virgo’s: to purify, not to punish. To serve, not to suffer.

The circle bathed in this wisdom, surrendering old stories of performance and martyrdom. Some burned pages. Others danced in moonlight. A collective knowing emerged: surrender is not giving up; it is coming home.

A gift was given that night. One soul, chosen by chance yet guided by Spirit, received three months in the Clarity Portal, a sacred space where weekly wisdom and daily devotion could continue to unfold.

Day Three dawned with the Equinox, a gate of perfect balance. Light and shadow met as equals, and the waning Moon turned her face toward release. The travelers adorned themselves in symbols of celebration—crowns of sovereignty, cloaks of remembrance.

This time, two more illusions stepped forward: The Illusions of Absorption and Satisfaction™.

Absorption disguised itself as self-righteousness, as knowing-best, as “this is how I’ve always done it.” Satisfaction wore the mask of “good enough,” hiding the deeper longing beneath. The Moon asked them: “Where are you holding on, when your soul is ready to leap?”

A story was told of skydiving—of letting go, of trusting the freefall, of landing in liberation. The travelers remembered that letting go is not denial; it is devotion. That endings are not failures, but offerings.

One soul received a psychic healing that day, gifted by the circle’s shared light. And many felt the stirrings of something bold and new just beyond the veil.

Then came Day Four. The New Moon in Aries joined hands with a Solar Eclipse, and Neptune crossed the threshold into Aries for the first time since 2011. The air shimmered with beginnings, though they were cloaked in endings.

The Moon whispered: “The contract is over.”

Old agreements—with fear, with roles, with silence—cracked and crumbled. The Illusion of Sacrifice™ begged to be understood, not condemned. The Illusion of Control demanded to be released, not punished.

Junior panicked. But the soul exhaled.

One by one, the travelers claimed new truths. They wrote their fears and offerings on parchment and fed them to the flames in ritual. They remembered that courage is the vehicle of love.

Their hearts opened like flowers kissed by solar fire. And in that light, each received a message—a card, a prayer, a knowing. Together, they ended the journey with the card of Shine. Her golden rays danced across the sky, reminding them that to be seen is sacred. To receive is holy. To walk their path is enough.

And though the four days had passed, the circle remained. For once you have mapped with the Moon, she continues to speak, whispering through tides, dreams, and intuition:

“You are never alone. Keep walking. Trust the rhythm. Your Lunar Flame is rising.”

[Lunar Eclipse Story] Power of Release

You may have heard that we are in the midst of a lunar eclipse. This means you may have noticed the presence of relationship drama and emotional conflict—whether in your life or those close to you!

Even though this is pretty uncomfortable, celebrate that you are becoming increasingly aware of what is no longer working within yourself, your life, and within your relationships. You feel the pull to redefine yourself and choose who you want to be.

If you feel like things are messy right know, remember that each of us is an expression of the Divine. As Divine beings, we are offered the opportunity for transformation, and transformation makes a Divine Mess (ahem, masterpiece) of all of us! 

The Illusion of Drama is the archetype of change. Change can feel chaotic and dramatic, but know that if you are on a path of transformation and growth, you cannot avoid it! It’s inevitable, but how you choose to respond to change determines whether or not the Illusion of Drama holds you back. When we resist change, we make things much more difficult!

When we are on a path of transformation, we usually feel the urge to succumb to Junior (my word for ego) and doubt ourselves. We can “feel bad” for making tough decisions and beat ourselves up for things not going smoothly. 

This lunar eclipse urges us to free ourselves from the drama by letting go, moving on, and trusting. 

I’ll give an example by sharing a story of my own…

In 2018, I made an unpopular and powerful decision: I stopped talking to my mother. This was an extremely difficult choice, but I knew deep within the core of my being that it had to be done.

Over the years, I would receive feedback that I was cruel to do such a thing—that my choice was causing others—not just my mother—to suffer. I was told that I lacked compassion. Some said, “How can you call yourself a relationship expert and not have a good relationship with your mother?”  

[Of course, my Junior totally brought these things to my attention as well—which is why I attracted this feedback from others! Oh, Junior!]

To break through the Illusion of Drama, I would remind myself that I am NOT an “ordinary relationship expert;” I am a Love Renegade. Being a doormat and allowing someone to treat me poorly is way more “out of integrity” than having an inauthentic shell of a relationship that “society” would approve of! 

As I look back at what happened, I see that my choice allowed me to practice radical self-trust and self-compassion. I advocated for myself and chose to trust that what I was doing was a love-based choice that would assist all involved. Instead of trying to fit into some illusion of a social norm that suffocates and confines us all, I rebelled—trusting that my choice would assist all of us in having healthier, more authentically satisfying relationships!

During the time apart, I healed my heart, reclaimed my power through loving myself through all the messy emotions, deepened my relationship with the Divine, and even explored—on a highly practical level—what it meant to forgive, heal, and move forward. 

Fast-forward—my mom and I have reconnected and are on excellent terms. Our relationship is supportive, honest, and authentic. We each took responsibility for the fallout and have returned better than ever. 

Healing is the highest form of rebellion! I share this to inspire you to trust yourself and your messy process! 

Trust that if you want to tap into your highest potential, have amazing relationships, and achieve great things—you may need to let something or someone go—whether it’s a person, a relationship dynamic, or a “bad habit.” It can mean choosing to see through illusion and endure the discomfort of making positive choices.

Likewise, if you are on the receiving end of a conflict—for instance, if you are the person who is broken up with or left behind—choose to accept that even though this is emotionally painful, not having that person in your life or having that boundary in place serves you, too. Let this propel you to new heights of healing, wholeness, and empowerment. Trust that if you are meant to reconnect, you will. Know that it could be better than it was before! 

For either side and no side at all, trust the process and love yourself. Navigate with love, trust, and confidence by embracing change and choosing to grow!

Do Away with Perfection!

Perfection really is a sneaky beast! It urges us to follow the crowd and while it may lead to some sort of validation, it is really shallow and superficial at best.  Really, any praise obtained from trying to be perfect, is the equivalent of fast food. It feels good while it’s happening, but if you eat too much and for too long…well, it can have lasting effects—and not the good kind!!!  🙂

This leads us into the Illusion of Perfection, one of the Illusions of Relationship™ that separates you from Love by causing you to be deeply inauthentic.  This Illusion is so subtle that it you will often think that you are being true to yourself by just refining (and well, perfecting) when in reality, you are playing out a cycle of fear.

How does this impact your relationships?  Well, it can cause the people in your life—especially your partner(s) or prospective partners—to not even know you. No one, including you, ever gets to truly connect with your authentic identity. This can cause deep longing and frustration—which can play out in sooooo many [dysfunctional] ways in your relationships!

If you would like to transcend the need for perfection, you must heal the Illusion of Perfection within you. Here are two videos where in less than 15 minutes—you will  you will receive a deeper understanding of the Illusion of Perfection, and you will have an opportunity to connect with your authentic (ahem LOVE RENEGADE) self.

It is my intention that these videos bring you healing clarity on transcending the need for perfection and in creating a life and relationships that reflect your Divine self!
