🌬 HINEMOANA RISING 🌊
Freedom Within Limits • Scorpio SzN Transforms
I've named this kete Hinemoana Rising.
The takirua starts as tiny ripples… those first soft shifts we feel in our own tides when we're ready to let go & become something new. Each ara reminds us that even when life pulls us in two directions, there’s always a centre line… a heartbeat… a place to return to when everything else is swirling 🌀
Then she flows & grows… & the pātiki comes through.
Bold. Intentional. Rhythmic.
Just like my Ngāti Porou moana whakapapa 🔥 ahi kaa of the tides 💙 The Pātiki 🐟 teaches us abundance and adaptability.
How to go with the currents, not scrap with the storm. How to bend, not break. How to rest and just be. How to rise above… or dive deep when we need to 🌊
Both patterns together weave the kōrero my mate said this morning.. freedom within limits.
Just like Hinemoana herself she’s got tides, seasons, boundaries… and still moves with infinite flow. That’s the alchemy of being Māori, being wāhine, being in our becoming 🦋🌸
And because it’s Scorpio SZN.. the season of depth, shedding, truth-telling and transformation 🦋 this kete carries all that quiet inner rising we do beneath the surface.
Turning pressure into pattern. Pain into aokimi.
Letting the darker waters shape us into someone more powerful, more intentional, more free 🌿
Hinemoana Rising reminds me that even within limits, the ocean STILL finds a way to move, shape, shift and rise…and kare, so do we!!
Kia ora koe, be well you 🌸
Aroha always 🤎 Bubba x
