Seeking Expanded Horizons Under Sagittarius Skies – New Moon December 12th

0

A dynamic and optimistic New Moon dawns on December 12th at 23:31 GMT. In adventurous Sagittarius, the Archer calls us to look to distant realms when planting seeds for the upcoming cycle.  The zodiac’s gypsy spirit forever asks “What next?” while bounding unrestrained between dimensions of the known and the unknown.  The Centaur’s wisdom emerges through experience fully lived.  Sagittarius carries the resilience to perpetually begin again. Eyes set faithfully on the horizon where reinventing oneself never ceases.

This Jupiter ruled gathering also hosts wild Mars whose primal theatrics suggest action and zeal snap at the Centaur’s hooves. Yet heed caution that over confidence does not ignore our more cautious kin that share the same trail. Express freely but pause frequently so brothers and sisters are also heard. Lead not by ego and tyranny but by your hearts inspiration’s. Reflect upon motivations before galloping ahead heedlessly. Ask yourself what you are allowing? Is there a limiting belief you can allow to change? Can you allow peace within?  Do you allow wonder and awe? A sense of freedom and joy? Ideas moulded mindfully are destined to physically sprout.

The Sun and Moon are trine the North Node activating our collective destiny.  The zodiac’s centaur bounds unrestrained between dimensions stopping briefly to survey the journey behind and the path ahead. What life lessons line the road already travelled? What have you healed? Where have you grown? Chiron stationing direct and trining the Moon suggests we brandish newly acquired wisdom, born from our fresh inner perspectives. From this vantage point you suddenly know how to step forward, to expand, to spread your wings.  Mind the self-judgment, Sagittarius’s shadow is opinionated.  To transcend rigid dogma, aim the Archers arrow higher – find the meta view.  

Ever the optimist, Sagittarius lives to quest beyond the obvious, revelling in life’s delightful mysteries birthed at each new dawn. Yet heed Neptune in Pisces tight square to the Sun for ungrounded visions dissolve to nothing.  Neptune insists humanity’s current evolution involves a Spiritual context, dissolving the myth of separation and embracing the truth of unity consciousness. Capture inspiration’s ephemeral flashes and craft them into enduring earthly forms. Building castles upon solid intents gradually turns even sand into stone.  The secret of Time’s power is only fully known by persistent, undaunted world makers. When our yearnings lack such devotion, they remain unharvested fantasies.

The weeks ahead promise continued intensity as outworn structures further transform under Pluto’s exacting gaze. Once the worldly dust settles it reveals the jewels that truly matter. When old maps fail, retreat inwards and find the new routes.  Align your compass with the North star of your Heart. What visions fill your inner vista? Jupiter’s expansive gaze reveals no limits. Let your dreaming adventure far beyond convention’s walls. 

Ensure that hot blood cools, when necessary. Mars standing proudly alongside the Sun and Moon risks overinflating egos deaf to the greater good. Efforts are better served through humble cooperation.  Think before you share: will it raise the collective frequency or lower it?  Right action reveals itself from stillness within not fury without. When the intrepid honour stillness as a portal to the gods, revelation descends.

Venus in Scorpio until December 29th campaigns for intimacy through heart to hearts. In this domain the Love goddess knows that for relationships to sustain themselves, they must be willing to tackle the tough stuff. Leaning in to complicated feelings, uncomfortable truths and difficult conversations is the only way through.

Mercury loses his bearings turning retrograde at the New Moon until January 1st. A slow Christmas beckons, a deep intake, a reflective pause. Speak precisely what you mean and mean what you manifest for words wield creative custody once uttered aloud. Tie up any loose ends or last-minute festive arrangements before Mercury turns on Wednesday. In Capricorn honour your inner authority and play the long game. 

In a positive trine to Jupiter use this cosmic pause to find time for self-care, integration, and reflection on 2023. Observe the path you have walked and prepare for the cycle ahead. The clearer your vision for manifesting your desires, the easier it will be to ride the Dragon energies of 2024. Create not from fear but from joy and love. Jupiter says trust, jump, life will catch you. Do your homework and when Mercury stations direct on January 1st it will usher in the new year with scintillating clarity.

Rest easy! Dormant seeds grow fast once the storms pass. Nature’s rhythms cannot be rushed but suddenly, one morning, Spring bursts forth from the grip of Winter. All cycles serve us if we align to their eternally churning interplay. Let the currency of Love manifest faith in a better today. For inspiration I recommend watching “When only Love Remains” https://youtu.be/-Lv5xE2rc6o?si=bQBiG-Y8uYQPN68V 

The Sabian symbol for this new moon is “A child and a dog wearing borrowed eyeglasses”.  

Since time immemorial we have used ‘pretend personas’ to inspire insights with the potential to reshape consciousness. Make-believe bridges worlds, dissolving divides we thought stubbornly set. So, indulge flights of fantasy. Let innocence play once more. Stay childlike, unlearn false assumptions and rush to where the courageous meet life; in the liminal spaces. Harness that irrational faith in an eternal reality far vaster than we can perceive.  But stay wary of the shadow traps of deliberate deception or the blind leading the blind.

With the current push/pull energy press the pause on all major new beginnings until the Capricorn new moon on January 11th.  Use the restless impatient frequencies to dream bigger than you’ve ever dreamed before.  There is no ‘one ring to rule them all’. An infinite array of possibilities for reality exists.  The more focus we give to the mainstream narrative the more we will cement it into place.  Where are you choosing to spend your attention? Consistency and coherence are key to manifestation. The world is not deaf it responds precisely to the language whispered. Starve the scary and feed the love as we ride the Dragon’s tail into 2024.  Wishing you all infinite new moon love and blessings.

Conclude your ritual by gazing into the candle flame and saying: “As the solstice turns, I embrace the luminous path within and honour the celestial dance of light and dark.”  Safely extinguish the candle before leaving your sacred space.

So mote it be….

Full Moon Illuminates the Mind’s Labyrinth – Gemini November 27th 2023

0

Full Moon Illuminates the Mind’s Labyrinth – Gemini November 27th 2023. As we gallop into centaur season, our lunar guardian waxes full in mind magi Gemini on November 27th at 9.16am BST.  These opposing celestial forces crack open the mind’s infinite horizons.  This Moon is orchestrating the cosmic choreography of quicksilver thoughts spiralling like the Double Helix itself. It’s been a big year of choices and Gemini rules this domain with changeability inspired by spontaneity. As we race towards the closing crescendo pause to consider what you are choosing to take into 2024 and beyond?

Let’s take a moment to consider

The Mercury rises as more details and stories come to light.  But every story has two sides, duality is our programming.  Unity is found in the transcendent confluence. Stay open. New mind sets and paradigms are emerging.  What kinetic wisdom gets unlocked under Luna’s glow as she traces Gemini’s glyph of The Lovers? The lunation falls opposite the Sun and Mars frolicking in expansive Sagittarius — evoking the wild self, the eternal traveller, the philosopher. Ever questing for truth’s elusive apple while roaming the world’s forests. Between these storied archetypes we each discover our Soul’s fable.   

With six planets dancing in mutable signs, we’re all at sea, finding it impossible to cut through the noise to a clear decision. 

Yet by staying centred and grounded we find life is more malleable in these energies. Keep your inner magician well primed with your magnetic (mag (net) ic) connections.  With fast air and fire swirling around we have the chance for some serious spell breaking and re-casting of reality.  The invisible is where it begins, in the imagination of the heart.

So, The red pill or the blue pill?

As crossroads appear on destiny’s map Gemini asks shall we venture left, or right? The red pill or the blue pill? The intellect strains for conclusion, seeking to reconcile life’s irreducible paradoxes. Yet in breathless pause we find peace abiding in uncertainty’s exquisite mystery. Stillness is the sage’s soapbox. Through the eye of the peaceful heart, we see what’s essential.

Sagittarius is linked to freedom, law, truth, spontaneity and in its shadow lurks strong opinions, dogmatism and fundamentalism.  As the Sun jousts with Mars in the Centaur’s domain reason’s rulers lose step with the heart and dissonance sounds. Then we forget that everyone composes their days as best they can. Judgment arises from narrow definitions. Be mindful of the sting of pithy comebacks. Instead sing the Song of your Soul — a composition embroidered with imagination’s many rhythms and keys. We contribute to the collective whole with every thought and feeling we experience.  As Tesla said If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” 

Avoid adding kindling to heated debates

The Sun’s conjunction to Mars is stoking tensions and amplifying conflicts. Avoid adding kindling to heated debates. Instead, practice spreading the soothing balm of sweet words upon raw wounds. Respond to venom not with toxicity but its gracious antidote — compassion and forgiveness. The only sane way through is to starve the fear and feed the LOVE.

Attune to wisdom’s frequency, the resonance of truth reverberating long after noisy egos clash and fade. How patiently we must listen to discern enduring harmony. With quiet presence we distinguish what endures from passing tumults. All current clashes will decay when their brittle vibrations meet eternal stillness.

conduct your inner symphony toward your most divine purposes

We are the music makers as planetary conductors shape each era’s instrumentation. Some ages ring in martial drums, others stir revolutionary strings. Today Neptune swirls his spiritual baton — but how to translate ineffable yearning into concrete measures? With mutable winds whipping heart and mind alike, conduct your inner symphony toward your most divine purposes. Each deserves their virtuosity if called from the sacred muse. On destiny’s road, there are no wrong turns — only scenic routes returning us, however humbled, right where synchronicity intended.   

This full moon at 5 degrees marks the first of 5 lunar peaks hitting this pivotal point — the number of transformation. Like a bolt of lightning, the Sabian Symbol speaks of tempestuous change and reform through explosive information spread far and wide; “A radical publication asking for action, displays a sensational front page” its provocative cover amplifying a call for revolution. Alert! Yet inciting rebellions without cause breeds chaos alone. One must carefully discern selfish drama from activism rooted in Dharma. Passion demands maturity guided by timeless values — truth beyond propaganda, freedom aligned to harmony, fierce love that builds rather than destroys.

What’s on playlist? Change!

Change comes not by demands but the irresistibility of an awakened people wearing their peaceful invincibility. Even whispering truth to power alters everything if spoken collectively from that sacred centre where I, You and the Universe breathe as One. This Gemini Moon rains revelation upon a slumbering world. May all awaken to truer liberty and justice for All.

In community’s comforting debate, many threads weave the tapestry of unity through diversity. When we allow each other our own unique colour and flavour we begin to witness the emerging synergy and beauty of the whole. This quickening Moon reminds us that thought and feeling dance together when liberated from the logical mind. Beyond neuronal firings lives the soul’s plasticity — an innate program of curiosity questioning stale answers so we can stretch toward love’s better questions.

chaotic thinking and drowning out logic.

Mercury, square retrograde Neptune in Pisces, wobbles on his axis, constellating chaotic thinking and drowning out logic. We don’t have the full picture and can fall prey to old programs. Don’t feed the hungry ghosts. Establish daily practices that tether untamed minds back into the anchored body — meditation, sound baths, connecting soles to soil. Allow the freshness of each moment. Mercury is changing the story.  Keep your mind open to what you don’t know. Full disclosure is imminent.

The weeks ahead promise continued intensity as outworn structures further transform. Keep your sights firmly fixed on emerging horizons ripening with potential. Set intentions under this Mercurial Moon that sharpen discernment whilst staying open to the mysteries of paradox. There is symmetry in life’s seeming asymmetry. Harvest teachings hidden in the mad dance between order and chaos. Follow the meandering path.  Go with the flow, allowing life to arise and blossom moment by moment.

Most of all sow seeds that increase helpful communication, nimble thinking and courageous cross-pollination of perspectives. Fertile solutions emerge from conceptual biodiversity – where many nourishing inputs mingle to feed cooperative dreams. May the messenger’s wings guide all explorers to look beyond divisions towards the visage of unity equally composed by innumerable unique brushstrokes. Wishing you all infinite full moon love and blessings.

An Illumination Ritual for the Curious Mind – Gemini full moon

As the Full Moon rises, prepare your altar with items symbolizing duality – coins, yin/yang symbol, masculine and feminine icons etc. Place twin candles, silver and gold or white and red, to honour Gemini’s twins. Make sure your journal is to hand and lay out your oracle, runes or tarot cards for divination.

Open the ritual by smudging with Rosemary or burning Rosemary essential oil for remembrance and awakening the conscious mind while saying:

“I welcome Luna’s fullness to illuminate all realms of thought, dream and muse. May inner sight expand as I open to receive Grandmother Moon’s mystic transmission.”

Light the candles while focusing on an intention. Then take time to divine signs and symbols related to your intention using your chosen tools. You can take this deeper by writing your insights into your journal using your non-dominant hand to unleash further intuitions.

When feelings crystallize, move your body through stretches or dance to embody the arising messages. Record creative bursts before they flit away.

As the Moon’s energy peaks, affirm:

“I shine ever brighter through expressing my voice and unique genius while listening deeply to the wisdom offered in stillness. May all beings think clearly and speak their truth with compassion.”

When ready close your ritual with grounding food and connection to the Earth.  There will be integration under this Full Moon’s Mercurial light. May you receive its quicksilver kiss.

So mote it be…..

Pleiades reach highest point at midnight: November 21st

0

The Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters, is an open star cluster located in the constellation of Taurus. In various ancient cultures and magical traditions, the Pleiades held great significance and played a role in religious practice but also was a major turning point for rituals based on Star Magic and magical calendar systems.

Pleiades reach highest point at midnight: November 21st

This powerful cluster of stars reach the highest point tonight, at midnight. Actually, some druid traditions place Samhain in this NIGHT! But we can also use it to cast our own spells as you’ll see below! Pleiades were very important to ancient people and practitioners. Let’s see why!

Here are some highlights of their significance in the ancient world:

Ancient Greece: In Greek religion, the Pleiades were the seven daughters of the titan Atlas and the nymph Pleione. They were named Maia, Electra, Taygete, Alcyone, Celaeno, Sterope, and Merope. According to legend, the Pleiades were transformed into stars by Zeus to protect them from the unwanted attention of Orion the Hunter.

Ancient Babylonians: The Pleiades were highly regarded in Babylonian religion. The Babylonians mentioned the Pleiades cluster in their astronomical records, and it was called “MUL.MUL” (“star of stars”). They used the rising and setting of the Pleiades to mark important ritual and agricultural times.

Native American Cultures: Different Native American tribes throughout North America hold varying cultural significance for the Pleiades. For example, the Hopi tribe in Arizona observes the Pleiades as the “Katsinam” (ancestral spirits) who visit the Earth during the Pleiades’ appearance in the pre-dawn sky, which signals the beginning of their ceremonial year.

Japanese Heritage: In Japanese folklore, the Pleiades are known as “Subaru,” meaning “to govern” or “unite.” They are associated with the goddess Amaterasu, the sun deity and a symbol of the Japanese imperial family. Subaru, the Japanese car manufacturer, even adopted the Pleiades star cluster as its logo.

Astrology and Witchcraft: Astronomically, the Pleiades are a young star cluster, and studying them provides valuable information about stellar evolution. The Pleiades have been a subject of interest for both astrologers and astronomers alike. In astrology, they are associated with qualities like sensitivity, intuition, and spiritual guidance.

Witches and Pleiades

Witches and practitioners associated with the witchy way, view the Pleiades as a source of guidance and spiritual energy. They might incorporate the stars into rituals, spellwork, or astral travel practices.

Some witches believe the Pleiades can provide a channel to connect with deities or spirits. They may align their rituals or spellcasting with the Pleiades in order to enhance their spiritual connections or perform specific magical workings.

the 7 Sisters and Magic

Ancient Witches and esoteric magical systems associate each of the 7 sisters with different energies or attributes:

1. Maia / Red: Maia is associated with life, birth, growth, nurturing, and manifestation. Maia is revered as the Goddess of Midwifery and is the eldest among the Seven Sisters. Therefore she is often seen as the mother figure and represents manifestation, fertility, abundance, and the power to bring dreams into reality.

2. Alcyone / Orange: Alcyone is the Queen, the brightest shining – associated with courage, strength, and leadership. As she is linked to our source of personal magnetism and sacral chakra, Alcyone guides us towards claiming our desires. Therefore, she embodies assertiveness, determination, and the ability to take charge and make decisive choices.

3. Electra / Yellow: A beacon of energy, Electra is the Activator, igniting our power of alchemy and magic. As she associated with the solar plexus chakra, Electra enlightens us on our electric body and the strength of our will.

4. Celaeno / Green: Celaeno embodies the essence of a passionate woman – exuding passion, love, magnetic power, and energy. As she manifests loves, she is the key of attraction, intuition, and heart-knowing, embodying love, mystery, passion, and secrets.

5. Taygete / Yellow: Taygete is often associated with exploration, adventure, and the pursuit of knowledge. Moreover, she represents a thirst for wisdom, a yearning to discover new horizons, and a willingness to embrace change. Teaching us the significance of our voice, breath, sound, and communication, Taygeta is the goddess that imparts the power of expression.

6. Sterope / Indigo: Sterope is associated with psychic powers, and empathy. Linked to the third-eye chakra, Asterope emphasizes the power of vision, thoughts, and the mind, delving into the sacred geometry of the universe to enhance our intuitive and clairvoyant skills.

7. Merope / Violet: Merope is sometimes considered the “lost” Pleiad, as she is associated with withdrawal, hiding, or not shining as brightly as her sisters. She represents secrecy, being elusive, or choosing a different path than expected. As she is linked with the crown chakra, she is not easily seen through material eyes. Only when all sisters are aligned she shines brightly, reminding us to cut the ties from the material world.

You can ask from any of the sister tonight your wish. But also, you can write down 7 things you want to banish from your life (remember tonight some traditions practice the Druid Samhain), and 7 things that your want you attract in your life! At midnight, go outside to meet the Pleiades, and tell them what you want to banish and what you want to attract!

Leonids Meteor Shower – November 17-18 2023

0

Witchcraft of the Stars has always been considered powerful and it dates back to the ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. In fact, Star Magic is considered one of the oldest and most powerful forms of Magic. A Star Magician taps into the powers of the Stars in order to collect and direct the energy of the Stars. So let’s tap into the magic of Leonids.

To watch the Leonids meteor shower, find a location away from city lights with a clear view of the sky. Look towards the constellation Leo after midnight, when the shower is most active. Be patient and give your eyes time to adjust to the darkness.

Star Magic and Star Witches

One “branch” of Star Magic is Astrology, the art of foretelling the Future by knowing the ways of the Stars. An ancient Mage would never distinguish Witchcraft from Astrology as the system was born and evolved together as one. The Three Wise Men who predicted the coming of Jesus Christ were in fact Powerful Mages from Mesopotamia who studied the ways of the Stars.

Becoming a Star Mage or a Star Witch one must begin to know the ways of the Stars. In Magical Recipes Online we’ll give you tons of Lessons on Astrology and in Star Magic too. Another thing about Stars Magic is that’s so fun! We love looking at the night sky. It connects us wit the divine.

The Leonid Meteor Shower 2023

One of the year’s most amazing celestial shows will peak this weekend when we will have the chance to observe the magic of shooting stars. The nights when we can enjoy the Leonid Meteor shower are between November 17 to 18.

This year is going to be more interesting as the young crescent moon will permit the majestic phenomenon to enchant our night.

Why is the Leonid Meteor Shower so magnificent?

The Following two nights will be spectacularly illuminated by the Leonid Meteor Shower. This Leonid meteor shower is responsible for some of the most intense meteor storms in human history. There were times when meteors fall at rates as high as 50,000 per hour… imagine 850 shooting stars EVERY MINUTE!!!

However, these storms are a very rare phenomenon and this year, astronomers believe that we will enjoy about 15-20 shooting stars per hour… yet we can still hope for REAL MAGIC.

The Leonids occur as the Earth moves through the dust trail of the 55P/Tempel-Tuttle comet a periodic comet with an orbital period of 33 years. This Comet was first discovered by Wilhelm Tempel on December 19, 1865. It is believed that more than 13 tons of star dust has ‘touched’ Earth’s atmosphere causing these spectacular Meteor Shower.

Weather permitting, observers around the world should be able to see the brightest “Leonids” streak across the sky from Friday night through Sunday morning.

The Magic of Leonid Meteor Shower

The Northern Hemisphere will mostly be treated with the celestial prime show, as it has the best view of the constellation Leo, from which the meteor shower derives its name. The fifth of zodiac signs, Leo, is inspired by the Legend of Hercules’ very first labor. The capture and killing of the Nemean Lion which was terrorising people. Hercules managed to defeat this powerful beast. He skinned the lion and wore it a cape. This impenetrable fur kept Hercules safe from blades and arrows. 

Astrology: Of course, this has its own astrological significance. The Leonid Meteor shower is a reminder of the Leo’s grace and charisma.

Tonight though, on November 17 2023, not only Leonids will fill the sky, but also we get the chance to start anew right after the New Moon which cleansed the Eclipse Season. This major energy shift is illuminated by the falling stars making it a pretty spectacular event!

See tonight’s predictions here!

Big changes are coming as we will learn how to deal with our power. There was a saying ‘with great power comes great responsibility’. Therefore, we will have to be much more confident and responsible for what we can or we’ve already have achieved!

The Celestial Mage

Ptolemy, the Greek founder of Modern Astrology & Astronomy, wrote that the Gods peer down at the earth from between the Celestial spheres.

The Celestial spheres (or cosmic spheres, or celestial orbs) were the fundamental entities of the cosmological models developed by Plato, Aristotle, Ptolemy and later Copernicus and others. In these celestial models the apparent motions of the planets and the other stars are accounted for “by treating them as embedded in rotating spheres made of an aetherial, transparent fifth element – aka quintessence – like bright gems set in orbs. Ptolemy stated that while this happens, stars sometimes slip out of this gap, flashing towards the earth. Shooting stars are hence an indication that the Gods are now paying attention to whatever you would ask for.

How to Wish upon a Shooting Star?

The Progress of performing the simple – and maybe the most famous – Wish Spell is the same as all spells.

  • Close you eyes and Relax
  • Meditate on things you Wish to have.
  • Now focus to things that your heart desire the most. Things that set you on Fire!
  • Narrow down your wishes to only one, your most important wish.
  • Stay focused on your Wish. Live it as it already happened!
  • Open your eyes and wait for the Shooting star. Once you see it Re-Live it one more time quickly!
  • Thank the Divine Forces that helped you!
  • Blessed be!

 

 

Navigating Emotional Intensity Under Scorpio’s Mystical New Moon

0

Navigating Emotional Intensity Under Scorpio’s Mystical New Moon. The new moon commences her cycle swathed in Scorpio’s deep waters on November 13th at 9.27am GMT. It stirs emotional intensity as the Sun and Moon aligning ignites fresh potential, yet a mystical uncertainty lingers in Scorpio’s wake. As shadows and psyche mingle, ask yourself what wishes to be reborn? Set intentions while avoiding reactionary choices spurred by unease. Like the mythical phoenix, we rise renewed when feelings move through us, not dominate us.

The meaning of Scorpio Season

Scorpio season yearns for meaningful connection and cathartic release. Relationships lacking in vulnerability dissatisfy our desire for purification. Take care not to become swallowed in melodrama’s undertow. Instead harness courage to excavate wisdom from emotional darkness. Open to asking for support during this profound passage of growth.

A Fresh Start

The recent eclipses’ ripples will be churning within us, seeking integration for at least the next six months. Trust in divine timing of growth cycles even when clarity lags behind faith. Patience is alchemy’s catalyst. Avoid grasping for control amidst uncertainty.

Strategic Mars, at home in penetrating Scorpio, sharpens focus for achieving goals. Financial flows demand particular discernment under these astrological tensions. Check unrealistic expectations regarding plans for prosperity. Though isolation’s temptation looms near, community sustains us through temporary scarcity. Avoid reactionary choices spurred by disquiet. Pace yourself gently through growing pains. This too shall pass.

Revelations and Secrets

Secrets arise for healing under Scorpio’s rays. Yet revelation leads to liberation. Honest inner work grants freedom where shadows once loomed. Ask what limiting patterns and fears still bind you? Then courageously honour the emotive wisdom within. No matter how uncomfortable, truth transforms and alleviates when brought into the light.

Mars, strong in Scorpio and moving fast, conjoined the Sun and Moon ignites potent individualism. Combined with Uranus, eccentric solutions to old issues can spark into life, yet guard against selfish impulses. Mars has been carrying something that needs cleansing and purifying.  What truth is coming through loud and clear that would set you free?

Breathe before reacting. Though intense energies tempt chaos, order arises by listening within first. From inner stillness, plant intentions for positive growth. Soften into what truly resonates with you. Attune to the greater good in all you do.

What the Sabian Symbol?

The Sabian symbol of a soldier resisting orders according to conscience suggests integrity guides us more than mere compliance when facing complexity. Follow your inner compass beyond conformity. Make empowering choices aligned with spirit. Discern when to forge ahead independently versus uniting with others.

Mars opposed Uranus tips volatility’s scales. It’s primal, urgent and can threaten our sense of security as earthquakes of all kinds are forecast from financial to structural. Beware emotional eruptions. Neither repress nor act out disruptive feelings. Instead find calm presence, then respond wisely. Sudden revelations mid-November demand adaptability, not alarm. Nature often renews through upheaval’s mystery. Chaos contains its own sacred order.

Uplifting our awareness

Neptune’s influence uplifts worldly sight to the cosmic scale. In Pisces, embed intentions in spiritual soil to manifest healthy harvests. Unity, not confusion, grows when imagination flows unimpeded, nourished by faith. Detach from obsessive undertows that distort the present. Align with divine will and higher purpose. Trine Sun, Moon and Mars those with artistic sensitivities find their creative juices cascading through in inspirational torrents.

The weeks ahead promise continued intensity as old structures transform. But fresh horizons emerge for those yearning liberation from limitation. Set intentions for rebirth during Scorpio’s prolific darkness. We rise renewed from dissolution’s ashes. Follow intuition’s light when the way ahead seems obscured. Newfound resilience awaits nightwalkers ready to illuminate shadow’s mysteries.

Just a phase…

Mercury’s wit reminds us – intense weather will pass. This is just the cosmic forecast. Stormy skies cannot dictate our inner response. We each have a choice over our reactions and where we focus our attention. Will lightning reveal higher ground or a descent into despair’s valley? Stay centred in the eye of passing storms.

Our Taurus axis offers solace in the balance. Lay foundations for security while releasing false anchors that create stagnation. Nurture body and spirit with earth’s comfort – savouring flavours, absorbing mineral springs, walking barefoot upon the ground. Where Scorpio plumbs emotional depths, Taurus reminds us to come back home.

Sun, Moon Mars opposed Uranus, in Taurus create fixed water, offering a mirror into the Self.  What’s been frozen within you? This new moon has the power to liberate you.  When flooded by unease, calm inner rapids through practices that soothe. Make time for retreats in nature, meditative movement, cooking nourishing meals. Take refuge in beauty’s restorative powers – light candles, enjoy a hot bath, play uplifting music. And call often upon our strongest medicine in these times of upheaval, community. You are not alone.

What this circle leads to?

Each lunar cycle, darkness gives way to light in perpetual renewal. Trust that challenges lead to wisdom. Nature abhors a vacuum; all loss makes space for rebirth. The deeper the excavation into shadow’s caverns, the higher our eventual flowering into the light.

Through eclipse aftershocks and astrological intensity, remain rooted in radical acceptance of the now. All conditions shift. It is expectation and attachment that causes suffering. Even disillusion’s arrival gifts opportunity to divest false securities and stand strong in spirit. Reframe breakdowns as breakthroughs in disguise.

The Scorpio New Moon

From November 8th to December 4th, benefic Venus dances through airy Libra, restoring the planet of love and beauty’s magnetic powers. Here she’s utterly at home, full of charm and the art of relating. Harmony and partnership take centre stage under her diplomatic currents. She reminds us to focus on what unites rather than divides. She builds bridges gracefully through social synergy. Listen with an open heart, speak with tactful care. Appreciate contrasting views, then find unity through compassion. Her socially savvy powers smooth relations, renew connections, inspire gatherings and awaken creative collaborations. Let beauty and love take the lead.

Scorpio’s new moon heralds’ catharsis. The chance to consciously evolve patterns etched long ago now rises. In sacred ritual, set intentions for releasing the outdated. Call upon galactic and ancestral guides to illumine inner sight. Then walk forward boldly, knowing you matter. Your presence, choices and creations influence the Universe and all beings within it in mystical ways. May we meet each other arising intensely yet gently in love.  Wishing you all infinite new moon blessings and love

In case it calls check out our answer to these times and join us for the Mesa of Alchemy live online retreat starting this December https://www.naturalwisdom.co/mesa-of-alchemy

Scorpio New Moon Ritual

On the evening of the New Moon, create sacred space with red candles to represent Scorpio’s transformative energy. Place pen and paper nearby to write down intentions.

Begin by sitting comfortably, closing your eyes and taking a few deep, grounding breaths. Set the intention to move stagnant emotional energy and plant seeds for rebirth.

When centred, light incense, palo santo or sacred smudge to clear heavy vibrations. As the smoke fills your aura, affirm:

“I release all that no longer serves my highest good.”

Let go of limiting beliefs, grief, pain or patterns you are ready to compost. When finished, extinguish the stick in a dish of earth or crystals. Trust this will fertilize new growth.

Write down or draw your intentions for this lunar cycle. What needs transformation in your life? What would you like to manifest? Pour your true desires into this vessel.

Now anoint your solar plexus and sacral chakras with cinnamon or myrrh essential oils to activate your inner power and sensuality. Place an obsidian stone over your belly to ground intentions.

Close your ritual by reflecting on death, rebirth and the phoenix rising. Say:

“I welcome renewal and rebirth under this Scorpio Moon. From the ashes of the past, I rise stronger in spirit.”

Over the weeks ahead, observe this symbolic death and rebirth mirrored externally. Have faith in the mystery. You are supported in the darkness. And remember – the light always returns.

So mote it be….

Navigating the Potent Taurus Lunar Eclipse: Finale of Transformation

0

Navigating the Potent Taurus Lunar Eclipse: Finale of Transformation. The final eclipse in the monumental Taurus-Scorpio series crests on October 28th, concluding a profound two year passage of change. Eclipses accelerate destiny’s timeline, serving up pivotal turning points. This lunar eclipse in stable Taurus delivers closing revelations around security, resources and embodiment. Since November 2021’s first Taurus eclipse, we’ve unearthed core fears and cravings. Now at journey’s end, we integrate wisdom gained about worthiness.

Navigating the Potent Taurus Lunar Eclipse:

By honorably managing desire, without attachment or overindulgence, we cultivate true abundance. Consider what surgings of greed or scarcity this eclipse provokes, then respond with compassion for self and others. When we attend the collective’s needs alongside our own, resources multiply. Lead with gratitude, share blessings and rest in the knowing – there is enough.

Lunar eclipses open emotional portals, challenging us to release outworn relational patterns or stories about provisions and pleasure. The Moon finds exalted expression in Taurus, so confronting fears is powerfully purifying. Allow feelings movement through inner landscapes. Trust in cycling natural tides – the rise and fall of security, the ebb and flow of enoughness. Through faith, the universe nourishes us exactly as we need, precisely when we need it.

This eclipse marks the dragon’s head, the North Node, pointing toward insatiability. Balance urgency with patience. Avoid restlessness or forcing flow. Instead make time for journaling, embodiment and integration. Fortify physical vessels with ample hydration, nutrition and rest. Confirm there is enough by fully savoring simple sensory pleasures – warm sun on skin, vanilla’s sweetness, music’s refuge.

With strategic Mars newly in its watery home of Scorpio, desires sharpen into focus. Distill motivation down to its essence. Discard superficial or reactionary pursuits for passionate priorities aligned with soul. Employ Mars’ penetrating instincts to confront innermost fears still limiting worthiness. Then harness divine will to manifest resolute self-acceptance.

Mars in Scorpio is unrestrained by frivolities, driving toward core authenticity. Its mythic symbol is the phoenix, boldly returning from ashes to full glory. Gaze unflinchingly at personal flames now, then emerge renewed in self-love. From that space of wholeness, share gifts freely without concern for worthiness.

This closing eclipse in a two year cycle of Taurus-Scorpio transformation provides perspective on the road travelled since November 2021. Read old journals, emails and texts. Recall the terrain covered internally and externally. Honor every twist and turn of the journey, which shapes us. At this culminating threshold between worlds, express gratitude – for the buds that did not blossom and the fruits harvested. Changing seasons teach impermanence; spiritual growth is endless. We rest in eclipse’s grace, transformed.

The Taurus Solar Eclipse on October 25, 2022 initiated this finale, stirring themes of greed versus groundedness. Now the bookend Taurus Lunar Eclipse brings resolution. Eclipses reveal where we conceal truth about desires. By courageously claiming our authentic needs and releasing lack consciousness, resources naturally flow. Fearlessly confronting shadow allows light’s embodiment. Luxuriate in sensations, beauty and nature’s bounty. When we appreciate the already present, fear transforms into enoughness.

Lunar eclipses open emotional portals for shedding outdated relationships or stories about pleasure. This eclipse activates the dragon’s head, indicating a peak in urgent cravings. Patience, not restless grasping, allows flow. Physical and emotional sensitivity may be heightened. Pace yourself gently. Take time for journaling, hobbies, good food and restorative rest. Confirm you always have enough in this moment.

Mars energizing Pluto and Saturn furthers determination to purge limitations, cutting through stagnation. But avoid ruthlessness. With compassion and courage, create mutually empowering relationships and self-acceptance. Tend faithfully to body, mind and soul. Nurture stillness alongside will. Mars opposing Jupiter could magnify disagreements, so speak from wisdom not reactivity. Find unity through respecting contrasts.

The Sun conjoins intuitive Mercury, inspiring creative solutions. Mars with Mercury can foster combativeness, but applied wisely, incisively dissolves falsehoods. Communicate authentically despite discomfort. Secrets arise under Scorpio’s rays, but revelation leads to liberation.

Venus’ wisdom tempers judgments, soothing frayed emotions with beauty, pleasure and artistry. Neptune may still veil clarity, but gentle effort uncovers understanding. Bless all teachers.

The Sabian Symbol of a bridge built over a high narrow gorge speaks to this eclipse facilitating passage to new stability beyond the shadow’s canyon. With diligence and care, we construct connections across distances. But impatience leads to risky shortcuts, so allow right timing. We fear the risky unknown, yet beyond lies home.

As destiny’s veils thin between worlds, receive whispered wisdom from ancestors, animal guides, the elements. Envision desired harvests while releasing wilted blossoms to the compost for new bloomings. Burn sage to clear stale energy. Share love, song and dance around community fires. Call in transformations through prayer and ritual. Rest in luminous dark.

The full moon in earthy Taurus culminates in Scorpio season’s fertile darkness. While shadows work their magic behind the scenes, harvest community’s light. Honor cycles of composting and rebirth. Loss makes space for newness to surge gloriously, transformed. Death is always followed by rebirthing.

Fluxes around safety and stability incline some to cling desperately to status quo. But rigidity breeds stagnation in fast changing waters. Flow resiliently like willow. Remain open to exchange’s circulation between self and world. Mutually nourishing relationships, resources and pleasure fill hollow need overtime. But forcing satiety breeds disconnection. Allow divine timing, trust eclipse’s unseen work.

Integrate this passage with loving presence – for experiences welcomed and universally timed. Expression shifts each eclipse cycle, but the wise heart perceives unity, not contrast, at life’s core. By balancing stillness and action, logic and intuition, we walk illuminated on shadow’s edge, fear replaced by faith. This potent portal shifts destinies, but you choose how to walk the path ahead – with contraction or courage, rigidity or flow. May the Taurus eclipse initiate your emancipation from all that confines the brilliance of your spirit. You are ready for this.

The Sun’s opposition to Jupiter during this eclipse can expand emotions and opinions to extremes. This aspect also increases restlessness and risk-taking. Avoid inflated judgment by finding balance. Though Mars energizes Saturn’s determined discipline, impatience causes accidents. Allow right timing through calm presence. Meanwhile Venus’ wisdom soothes intense emotions with beauty, art and shared pleasures.

The Sun and Mercury conjoining reveals solutions and uncovers truths. But combined with Mars’ combativeness opposed to Jupiter’s magnification, words can become weapons. Speak from wisdom not reactivity. Find unity through respecting contrasts in viewpoints. Communicate authentically despite discomfort for growth.

Neptune still veils clarity in places. Venus’s refinement eases harshness but some may feel let down by reality not meeting fantasy. Avoid escapism into illusion. With effort, gentle understanding emerges from confusion. Release expectations. Bless all teachers, lessons and experiences as guideposts on the journey.

The Sabian symbol of a bridge being built over a gorge reminds us that with care and tenacity, we construct solutions that allow safe passage through life’s narrow straits and across its deep chasms toward new horizons. But impatience leads to risky shortcuts without solid foundations. Trust in right timing. We may fear the risky unknown, yet beyond shadow’s canyon lies home.  Wishing you all infinite full moon love and blessings.

Abundant Harvest – Lunar Eclipse Ritual

On this potent Taurus lunar eclipse, create sacred space with candles, crystals and earthy textures. Place an empty bowl to receive limitation’s release.

Sit comfortably with spine erect. Breathe slowly and deeply. Set your intention to nourish your authentic needs and manifest blessings.

Hold a smoky quartz crystal, symbol of dissolving barriers. Envision its energy absorbing any blocks ready to be composted.

Speak or journal the limiting stories, external voices or fears now ready for release. Place the crystal in the bowl, letting the smoke transmute those energies. Trust the clutter will become fertile soil.

Next, voice the abundant harvest wished for. On paper, write or draw your goals and dreams seeking manifestation. Place this vessel of intentions on your altar. Know it will enrich your soil.

Offer gratitude for the current richness in life – running water, warm hearth, nourishing food, community and all that sustains. Appreciate that there is enough.

Close by blessing the eclipse portal’s mysterious unfolding:

“I welcome new horizons drawn to me in perfect timing. With compassion for all, I walk the path ahead with courage. May my authenticity blossom for the highest good of all. Blessed be this journey.”

Let eclipse’s fullness illuminate and compost limiting beliefs into wisdom. Having emptied full vessels, make space for attraction’s grace. You are ready for this harvest.

THIS Weekend – Orionids Meteor Shower 2023

0

Star Magic, the Ways of the Stars: 2023 Orionids Meteor Shower October 20 – October 22. Tonight, it will rain stars! This time, Orionids occur right between the Two Eclipses.

Star Magic and Star Witches

Witchcraft of the Stars has always been considered powerful and it dates back to the ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. In fact, Star Magic is considered one of the oldest and most powerful forms of Magic. A Star Magician taps into the powers of the Stars in order to collect and direct the energy of the Stars.

One “branch” of Star Magic is Astrology, the art of foretelling the Future by knowing the ways of the Stars. An ancient Mage would never distinguish Witchcraft from Astrology as the system was born and evolved together as one. The Three Wise Men who predicted the coming of Jesus Christ were in fact Powerful Mages from Mesopotamia who studied the ways of the Stars.

Becoming a Star Mage or a Star Witch one must begin to know the ways of the Stars. In Magical Recipes Online we’ll give you tons of Lessons on Astrology and in Star Magic too. Another thing about Stars Magic is that’s so fun! We love looking at the night sky. It connects us wit the divine.

The Orionid Meteor Shower 2023

One of the year’s most amazing celestial shows will peak Tonight – prior Halloween. Tonight, only few days before the Full Moon, the lunar light is not too much and it won’t block the spectacular phenomenon! The days when we can enjoy the peak of Orionid Meteor shower are between October 20 and 22!

Why is the Orionids Meteor Shower so magnificent?

The meteors which will illuminate the sky are some of the fastest and brightest among meteor showers as the Orionids originate from the dust and particles left behind by Halley’s Comet. This famous comet orbits the Sun and appears closer to our planet every 75 years.

But as the alien comet dances around the Sun, it leaves behind a trail of star dust. When theses particles join our orbit we see this magnificent show. The Orionids get their name because this meteors seem to explode from the constellation of Orion the Hunter.

The shower is one of the strongest in the astronomical calendar. You will be able to see up to 20 meteors per hour at peak time. See more in Earthsky.org

To enjoy the shower even more, setup your alarm around 4am (or stay away with your buddies – family) and watch the shower in the darkest hours before the dawn. See more in timeanddate.com 

The Magic of Orionid Meteor Shower

Legend has it that Orion was a giant hunter, son of the Poseidon, god of all waters. Because he was the son of Poseidon he could walk on the sea and all waters. . Orion was such a great hunter that he even believed he could hunt even the goddess of the Moon and Huntig, Artemis (Diana in latin) along with every beast on Earth (which was also protected by Artemis).

Another version of the story says that Orion accidentally caught sigh of 7 beautiful nymphs – daughters of Atlas and Pleione, the Pleiades, companions of Artemis. He was dazzled by their beauty and begun to chase after them.

In both cases, the Great Goddess of Earth, Gaia intervened. She was furious and sent a giant scorpion to poison and kill Orion. Both Orion and the scorpion put by Zeus in the Stars as constellations.

Astrology: Of course, this has its own astrological significance. The Meteor shower from Orion – Taurus – Pleiades is usually a potent omen to be brave go after our goals. Tonight, is the First Quarter of the Moon.  Therefore, it’s a great day to wish you get released from what bothers you!

See tonight’s predictions here!

Big changes are coming to the world along with news which have to do with chemical substances, energy and water. If your job has to do with the above please pay more attention 1. to avoid accidents 2. because this energy boost can help you evolve!

The Celestial Mage

Ptolemy, the Greek founder of Modern Astrology & Astronomy, wrote that the Gods peer down at the earth from between the Celestial spheres.

The Celestial spheres (or cosmic spheres, or celestial orbs) were the fundamental entities of the cosmological models developed by Plato, Aristotle, Ptolemy and later Copernicus and others. In these celestial models the apparent motions of the planets and the other stars are accounted for “by treating them as embedded in rotating spheres made of an aetherial, transparent fifth element – aka quintessence – like bright gems set in orbs. Ptolemy stated that while this happens, stars sometimes slip out of this gap, flashing towards the earth. Shooting stars are hence an indication that the Gods are now paying attention to whatever you would ask for.

How to Wish upon a Shooting Star?

The Progress of performing the simple – and maybe the most famous – Wish Spell is the same as all spells.

  • Close you eyes and Relax
  • Meditate on things you Wish to have.
  • Now focus to things that your heart desire the most. Things that set you on Fire!
  • Narrow down your wishes to only one, your most important wish.
  • Stay focused on your Wish. Live it as it already happened!
  • Open your eyes and wait for the Shooting star. Once you see it Re-Live it one more time quickly!
  • Thank the Divine Forces that helped you!
  • Blessed be!

Libra New Moon Annular eclipse October 14th – How to Harness the Wild Magic of the Libra Solar Eclipse

0

Libra New Moon Annular eclipse October 14th – How to Harness the Wild Magic of the Libra Solar Eclipse by Davina Mackail.

A formidable annular solar eclipse conjuncts the Sun and Moon in justice-seeking Libra on October 14th at 18.54 BST. It marks yet another powerful pivot in our cosmic journey. This potent New Moon eclipse activates our South Node of collective and personal past. Under heavy Libran influence it indicates a time to courageously release outdated relational styles, social conformity, and other behaviours that limit authentic expression. The coming six months offer a window of opportunity to honour our emotional truths with integrity, even when difficult. By embracing wisdom and equality over passive aggression, we spur much-needed evolution in both personal bonds and collective consciousness.  Do not be afraid to be who you really are, despite what is expected of you.

This new energetic cycle emphasises courageous self-expression versus compromising personal needs for the sake of surface harmony. It spotlights areas where we conceal truth or cling to security over authenticity. By honouring our inner compass over others’ agendas, intimacy and integrity may prosper. Excavate desires now. Shed outdated expectations about relationships or injustices that perpetuate disharmony and stagnation.  Changes will be permanent so choose wisely.

Solar eclipses accelerate change, reshuffling life’s trajectory in dramatic yet necessary ways. This eclipse obscures the Sun’s light, mirroring destabilization of egos and established power structures in society and our lives. Humbling reversals of fortune may arise for those attached to status and authority. Certain leaders on the world stage will come under scrutiny. Yet by loosening rigid perspectives, revelation dawns, offering solutions that transcend previous limitations. The Ancient Ones wisely advise quiet reflection over busyness during eclipses to gently integrate revelations as they emerge.

Purification is afoot. Face emotionally difficult yet transformative conversations with courage and grace. Avoid hasty judgments when discomfort surfaces; this eclipse cleanses to clarify Soul purpose. Patience and ample reflection allow higher meaning to emerge from inevitable upheaval. With both Mercury and the Sun opposed Chiron, the Wounded Healer, healing crises now spur growth.

Eclipse portals support inner exploration. In ritual or meditation, consciously purge limiting alliances, beliefs and patterns no longer in alignment with the new you. Enter stillness to receive inspiration’s transmission. Luxuriate in extra rest and sensual pleasures that soothe the soul. By balancing intellect and intuition, we walk the illuminated path of the Middle Way. The volatile Libra Solar Eclipse further unveils the authentic self by using its ring of fire to scorch away what’s old and done in each of us. May we nurture liberating relationships that enable our highest gifts to flourish.

During the eclipse portal this weekend, limit stimulation, multi-tasking and draining interactions. Make space for journaling, dancing, crying, afternoon naps or any activity that soothes your nervous system. Clear clutter, purify spaces, reflect on identity. Say no to extraneous demands. Prioritize people and activities that truly sustain your spirit. Channel creative inspiration into expressive arts, self-care or social change. Find unity, not duality, by integrating apparent dark and light through loving, calm presence.

Mars, planet of action and assertion, now energizing Venus, Libra’s ruler, ignites temporary intensity in relationships and can put finances under stress. Breathe through anger, feel it fully, then exhale dramatic reactions. Respond from wisdom not reactivity. When beliefs or connections are challenged, summon spiritual strength. Focus not on problems but solutions and the future harmony you wish to build. Harness the wild fire of change to crystallize intentions. The seeds planted now may blossom when you least expect.

Rigorous Venus in Virgo analyses connections for true emotional nourishment. Illuminating shadows around relationships, finances, values, and self-worth. Though less romantic than flashy suitors, Virgo tends lasting bonds through humble acts of service, caretaking and remembering what truly makes another’s soul sparkle and grow. Apply this same detailed discernment when examining undercurrents of self-criticism that distort self-image. Then compassionately address your core needs for security, belonging and self-acceptance.

When the blinding light of normalcy is temporarily eclipsed, reality becomes revealed anew. Particularly when backed by a stationing direct, Pluto squaring up to Sun, Moon, Mars and the North Node of collective destiny. Individual power versus State power continues to push at our edges demanding attention, demanding we choose our personal sovereignty. Pluto is radical transformation commanding nothing less than the death of the old.  No half measures or compromise as we collectively begin to step through the portal to the new.  It’s raw and vulnerable whilst also alive and vital, a karmic choice point.  We all know it. We can feel it. It’s up to each of us to choose wisely and Aries says, choose your integral Self above all else.   

Mars recently arrived in Scorpio trine Saturn adds his forensic fire to the uncompromising revelation of all that is corrupt.  Expect continued revelation of secrets, hidden abuses of power, obscured emotions and other suppressed truths. This is an all or nothing, winner takes all energy. Disclosures could be dramatic.  Shocks may jolt the system.  Absorb and integrate new insights before reacting. Let revelations guide you, not rule you. Be the witness, don’t get lost in the story. The upending of outdated paradigms makes space for long overdue change.  Allow the Sun to burn away the old and re-birth the new as dramatic endings and beautiful new beginnings emerge.

The full flowering of our gifts transpires when we honour authentic desires over external expectations. Yet conformity often compromises inner truth. Shed facades to stand firmly in your reality. Eclipse cycles reveal where we conceal power or betray values from fear of judgment. By courageously claiming all facets of who you are, your presence makes ripples. Your honesty gives others permission to embrace their own once hidden aspects too. Each Soul’s emancipation assists humanity’s evolution.

The Sabian symbol for this moon aids our navigation: ‘A child giving birds a drink at the fountain’. It reveals the soul’s calling to provide for others, especially the vulnerable. Simple acts of caring allow unconditional love to flow, revitalizing both giver and receiver. When we momentarily suspend the ego’s concerns and tend to another being’s basic needs, our generous gestures ripple, uplifting the collective spirit beyond expectations. By taking time to selflessly nourish people or creatures who cannot easily help themselves, we tap into the shared innocence beneath all illusion of separation. This builds trust and community. The reward is a world made kinder. Yet beware condescension when caring for apparent inferiors, for true nobility honours all life as sacred. Approach with an open heart, not naivete. In protecting the innocent, we demonstrate humanity’s highest potential.

Solar eclipses open rare portals of possibility, magnetizing circumstances and serendipities that support personal growth. Set empowering intentions today around your relationships, self-expression and the permanent purging of outdated patterns. By 2025’s culmination of this eclipse series, you may marvel at doors opened. For now, embrace the mystery and trust in divine timing. Express gratitude for all teachers and experiences that prod your awakening. The cosmos supports your liberation. You are ready for this.

Honour your emotions while avoiding reactivity. Let go of expectations for how change may come. Be discerning yet receptive. There are no mistakes, only lessons sculpting the essence of the Soul. Each eclipse, whether partly cloudy or fully eclipsing, carries glimpses of a vaster universe within and without. By patiently perceiving through the lens of love, fear transforms to courage, rigidity gives way to revelation. May we witness all that unfolds with equanimity, fortified in faith that light always returns. The eclipse simply reminds us that the stars still shine bright beyond temporary darkness. All is well.  Wishing you infinite new moon love and blessings.

Liberating Love – New Moon Solar Eclipse Ritual

Under the darkening new moon skies, prepare your ceremony space with candles, incense and flowers in shades of pink, white or green. Place a photo or symbol of a relationship you are ready to transform.

Centre yourself by closing your eyes and taking deep breaths. Set the intention to open your heart and mind to new possibilities in relationships and relating.

Light a stick of palo santo or sage, fanning the cleansing smoke around you. As you smudge your aura, affirm:

“I now release all limiting beliefs, attachments and patterns that no longer serve my highest relationships.”

Visualize any cords binding you to harmful relating styles dissolving.

When ready, take your photo/symbol and burn it safely to ceremonially release the old paradigm. As the flames transform the past, declare:

“I am free to relate as the truest version of myself, with clarity, joy and mutual respect.”

Set a clear quartz crystal in front of you. Feel its energizing and amplifying properties. Attune to your authentic desires in relationships. What intentions wish to take form under this eclipse portal?

On paper, write down sacred intentions for relating, partnership and dynamic equilibrium between independent needs and healthy bonding.

Close your ritual by holding the quartz, affirming:

“I welcome empowering connections singing in harmony with my Soul. Under this eclipse, I embrace liberation and new beginnings. So be it.”

Let go of expectations for how your intentions manifest. Release attachment to timing or form. Trust in the mystery of love and life to bring blessings through awakened relating and compassionate communication. You are ready for this transformation.

So mote it be…..

Preparation:
Gather the following items for your ritual:
1. A pink candle symbolizing love and harmony or green for abundance and healing. You can substitute it with a white candle to bring forth all blessings of Venus and illumination.

The Ritual:

1. Find a quiet and tranquil space where you can perform the ritual without interruptions. Light the candle, representing the divine energy of Goddess Aphrodite – Venus.
2. Take a moment to ground yourself and connect with your breath. Close your eyes and envision a warm and loving light surrounding you, protecting you throughout the ritual.
3. Take the fresh flowers or petals and scatter them around the candle and crystal creating a circle of beauty. As you do so, visualize love, beauty, and harmony filling your space and permeating your surroundings. Lit the candle!
4. Hold the rose quartz or chosen crystal in your hands and repeat the following affirmation:

“With the blessings of Venus in Virgo, I embrace … (pick what you want like love, abundance, beauty, and harmony) in my life. I am deserving of unconditional love, and I radiate this love to myself and others. May the energies of Venus guide and inspire me to create a new prosperous reality.”

Navigating the Tides of Change – Decoding the Full Super Moon in Aries September 29th

0

 A full Super Moon in independent Aries arrives on September 29th at 10.57am BST, carrying the energies of fierce self-expression and bold new beginnings. This headline grabbing lunation will illuminate themes of injustice, coercion and control. Landing in the same house currently occupied by retrograde Chiron, our wounded healer, it also highlights our human vulnerabilities. Full Super Moon in Aries predictions!

Decoding the Full Super Moon in Aries September 29th

With the recent Libran equinox requesting balance, and the Nodes of collective destiny currently retrograde on the same Aries/Libra axis as this new lunar cycle the ‘me’ versus ‘we’ clash will require a master class in diplomacy.  Whatever you’re advocating for, lean in.  This moon insists on courageous calls to action.

Our warrior moon arrives against a backdrop of all outer planets currently retrograde. Marking a collective pause point to reflect on bigger global issues of human government and planetary survival. Cooperation, justice, and finding balance between self-assertion and harmony with others will be key to navigating some undoubtedly turbulent weeks ahead.

Navigating the Tides of Change – Full Super Moon in Aries predictions!

It is the fourth consecutive Supermoon, where the Moon orbits closer to Earth than usual. Increasing both emotional and seismic intensity amplifying tides, weather patterns, pressure on tectonic plates and volcanic activity. Meanwhile, Pluto, power planet of transformation, is applying pressure to the Aries-Libra axis, demanding evolution in relationships and social structures.

Pluto forces deep transformation around issues of power and oppression via revolutions if necessary. The question facing us all is: Are we choosing to empower our sovereign selves or descend into despairing victimhood? Choose wisely. This cosmic turning point holds the potential to launch us down a radically different future path.

Fresh beginnings arrive with this lunation as the Moon and Sun stand opposed. Aries initiates what is ready to sprout, while the Moon asks us to assess this emotionally and consider what wants to manifest for the longer term. Notice what gets illuminated under this Full Moon’s light. Listen to those inner nudges marking the start of a brand-new creative cycle, tapping into higher purpose and core energy.   

Freedom!

Mars-ruled Aries represents individualism, whereas Libra epitomizes relationships and compromise. With Mars in Libra outside its comfort zone, greater reflection and communication are required before acting. The Aries Moon loses some boldness with its ruler in diplomatic Libra. It tempers our drive for independence with consideration of how actions impact those around us. Carefully weigh pros and cons using discernment. Are you operating from old patterns or new wisdom? Slow down and make deliberate choices.

South Node in Libra still showing us what is ending in our lives.  Are you acting from the old or the new energies?  Slow down.  Are you being deliberate in your choices.  North Node in Aries is re-connecting you to what’s truly alive within you.  But Libra reminds you it’s not just about you.  Others will be prominent in all your considerations.  Discord and uncomfortable feelings can bubble up for Aries as any rejection feels personal.  Be mindful of immature outbursts that sabotage everyone’s best interests.  Contentious between Libra and Aries here.  This is a heads up of what will emerge during October’s solar eclipse.  Tune into your higher Self-awareness for success in navigating this.

Channel your inner child

The Moon in impatient Aries may tempt us to rush into decisions without consideration of consequences. But wisdom advises going slowly, even when urgency looms. Clarify your authentic desires before reacting. Consult your higher self for guidance. Channel the childlike Arian enthusiasm to pursue renewed passions with positivity once you gain clarity. Meanwhile, Mars in compromising Libra will help balance self-interests with awareness of others if conflict arises.

The Sun in diplomatic Libra connecting fluidly to penetrating Pluto enables digging beneath surface appearances to reveal truth. This grants magnetism and a steel will to transform stagnation. But beware of stubbornness and manipulation in dealings. Use the power of the trine responsibly. Be wise in what you initiate.

Expansive Jupiter also forms a flowing trine to Mercury, imbuing our communication with optimism and inventive solutions from non-rational sources. Attune to mystical downloads floating in the ethers. Write down prophetic visions and creative epiphanies that come through meditation or time in nature. Follow intuitive nudges.

Yet amidst spacious inspiration, Mercury’s tense opposition to nebulous Neptune muddies the waters of the mind and body. Disordered thinking, health issues, lies and escapist fantasies may arise if integration is lacking. Seek bodywork, energy healing, proper rest, wholesome nature connection and creative expression to nurture harmony. Luxuriate in imagination, but avoid delusion. With gentle effort, even challenges reveal blessings in disguise.  Can bring a sense of being let down imagined or for real. Mercury activates last month’s new moon, raising similar themes for integration.

avoid getting stuck in rigid opinions. Stay open!

The harmonious trine between Mercury, Pluto, and Uranus can spark revolutionary ideas and turn us into social visionaries. These planets together breed ingenuity and give us the courage to think differently. Harness this energy to develop futuristic technologies, decentralized networks, and progressive community systems. But avoid getting stuck in rigid opinions. Stay open.

Mars square Pluto can bring power struggles as these planets clash. Strong egos battling for control must be avoided. Instead, reflect on your deepest motivations during conflicts. Examine any desire to dominate or express rage. Take time outs to cool down before discussions. Find healthy physical outlets for intensity. Ultimately these planets together help us reclaim our personal power.

Expect the unexpected

Venus square Uranus can stir relationship unpredictability as the planet of love clashes with the planet of surprises. The tendency to equate freedom with detachment should be examined. Instead of fleeing when emotions surface, commit to a new level of vulnerability and intimacy in relationships. Expect the unexpected, but embrace spontaneity as opportunity to deepen bonds. Venus-Uranus aspects excel at creative collaboration and innovation. Apply this to artistic projects or social justice efforts. 

Venus is empowered although what comes up under this aspect is unexpected.  Uranus reminding you that it doesn’t affect your true self-worth.  The jolts are a wake-up but shouldn’t topple you from your own throne.  It’s about handling change, it’s the only constant we’re designed to work with it.  Only our programming distracts us from what we’re naturally good at.   Saturn in Pisces also reinforcing this need for new emotional maturity.  Where is the higher consciousness and wisdom you can bring to bear on any situation that proves challenging?

Venus square Uranus stirs unpredictability in relationships and values. See detachment for what it is – fear of vulnerability. Commit to deeper intimacy amid the surprises. Apply Venus-Uranus creativity to innovations that serve the greater good.

The gift is in the libra qualities of making one decision at a time in harmony with all beings.

The Sabian Symbol

The Sabian symbol for 7 degrees of Aries, the specific degree of this Full Moon, speaks of: “A person successfully expressing themselves in two realms at once.” This suggests integrating duality and finding fulfilment in multiple areas of life simultaneously. Shine in your career and relationships, creative passions and practical duties, spirituality and material world. Avoid scattering energies, but don’t limit yourself to one field either.

Ritual for Aries Super Moon

This fiery Aries Full Super Moon invites transformation. Find a private space to conduct your ritual as the moon rises.

Create an altar with a red or orange cloth. Add candles, Aries symbols like a ram, rose quartz, carnelian and garnet crystals. Play uplifting music if you wish.

Begin by lighting a stick of sandalwood incense to purify the energy. Take deep cleansing breaths as the smoke fills the space.

When ready, light the candles with intention to illuminate the darkness. Say:

“I welcome the light of this Aries Full Moon to shine upon me. May it reveal what I need to outgrow and give me courage to let it go.”

On a piece of paper, write down anything you wish to release – limiting beliefs, stagnation, addictions, resentment.

Now hold the paper over a heatproof dish or cauldron. Speak your intentions for positive transformation as you safely burn the paper, visualizing the old patterns turning to ash.

Mix the ashes with earth in your dish or cauldron while stating:

“I compost the past to fertilize my future growth.”

Sit quietly observing the flames, letting fire’s transformative energy move through you. What would you like to manifest next? Write down your goals and dreams for the future.

Close your ritual by saying:

“I welcome rebirth under the light of the Aries Moon. May I harness this fiery energy to illuminate my path ahead with passion, courage and joyful optimism.”

Let the candles burn down safely. Over the next days and weeks, reflect on any insights received during your ritual. Trust in the seeds you’ve planted.

Equinox Ritual: Honour your personal harvest.

0

There is always more…in our abundant Universe…more to learn, to achieve, to see, to be, to experience.  With so much MORE always snapping at our heels it is important to take time to appreciate the journey we have already travelled, the milestones we have already achieved.  To pause and reflect on how far we have come. Welcome to our beloved Equinox Ritual from Davina. Find more about Mabon and his powerful Day here!

Equinox Ritual: Honour your personal harvest.

Take your journal on a nature date.  Find your favourite outdoor spot, in your garden, the local park, or nearby forest.  Make yourself comfortable and spend some time getting relaxed and dropping into just being where you are.  To do this bring your awareness to the dovetail point just at the apex of your ribcage where it attaches to the diaphragm and breathe in and out with your focus here.  Become aware of your senses, what can you feel, hear, see and notice.  No judgment or expectation just allowing all to be exactly as it is.

Now, reflect on the past year, since September Equinox 2023.  List your achievements, your progress, new or changing relationships, friendships in and out, changes in habits, health and lifestyle, personal development etc.  On a scale of 1-10 where 1 is still on the starting blocks and 10 is off the scale brilliance where are you with each aspect of your life?

Relish and celebrate what you have changed; the personal challenges you have faced and overcome, the goals you have mastered.  Review those that are yet to be attained – are they still important?  If yes, then ask, “what’s stopping me?” and notice what emotion, thought or feeling arises in response to this enquiry.

When you feel complete, take some time to just be and truly honour and feel the sense of satisfaction in your body for all those milestones or challenges however great or small you have accomplished and managed this past year.  Thank your body, the elements of nature, the ground underneath you, your personal guides etc and give yourself time to fully absorb these good feelings of success…… to end find an acorn, a pinecone or some other natural seed available in your region and time-zone to bring back as a reminder of your infinite potential.

So mote it be…….

New Moon in Virgo, Friday September 15th – How to Harness Virgo Energy for Personal Evolution

0

New Moon in Virgo, Friday September 15th – How to Harness Virgo Energy for Personal Evolution. The new moon sweeps clean in earthy Virgo on Friday 15th September at 2.39am BST. The discerning Virgin’s Harvest Moon guides us to focus on wellness, service, organization, and self-improvement under this cosmic reset. It feels like a blessed relief to return to the 3D cliff face after the emotional roller coaster of recent lunar cycles. The gifts of Virgo awaken our consciousness to mindful, compassionate service to ourselves and others. New strategies replace anxiety with inspired action as we build lives of greater wellness, wisdom and meaningful contribution.

New Moon in Virgo, Friday September 15th

Virgo’s precision helps us analyse our daily habits, creating a plan to implement positive change. Build healthier routines, embracing mindfulness and natural healing. Virgo connects us deeply with nature’s medicine. Spend time outdoors, gardening, foraging, discovering herbal remedies. Spiritually, Virgo rules purification, assisting us in releasing old patterns, self-criticism and toxicity as we walk a more enlightened path. Stagnant projects spontaneously reignite and this is an excellent window to take the charge on outstanding paperwork, tax returns etc.

As the new Moon conjoins the Sun in analytical Virgo they merge together with one collective intent – to ensure discernment is employed in your intention setting. New Moons represent opportunities for new beginnings, planting seeds, and harnessing fresh energy aligned with the lunar placement. Plant seeds of sacred potential and nurture renewal in all its forms. This lunation is especially helpful for building practical new systems focused on the long term.

To achieve such lofty ideals, you will need to hone your discrimination. The wheat needs sorting from the chaff as you sharpen and streamline your life. It’s a back-to-school moment. You’ll feel the urge to buy a pristine planner or try out the latest ‘efficiency app’. To do lists will become your new bestie and the lure of shiny online courses in new and exciting subjects will prove virtually irresistible.

How to Harness Virgo Energy for Personal Evolution

Virgo rules our daily devotions. Are yours working? Supportive? Loving? Kind to self? If less than satisfactory this is the perfect moment to reinvent and redirect. Our earthy, mutable Virgin hyper focusses on the constant micro pivots that are required to find true balance. She loves precision and facts. Our earthly bodies work similarly, constantly creating miniscule internal shifts as every cell works towards homeostasis. Mercury is strong in Virgo its house of rulership and stations direct at the time of this moon ensuring we leave no stone unturned in our quest for simplicity and efficiency. More time, energy and vitality are the gifts of the simplified life.

This moon gifts us with a blessed grand Earth trine with Pluto in Capricorn, Uranus in Taurus and the Moon in Virgo. It brings the promise of unexpected abundance and great healing through the power of nature. Slow down and centre. Simplicity is your master key. Pluto guarantees delivery of your desires. It wants to empower, especially to those prepared to genuinely face their fears.

Our input equals our output. Use the upcoming equinox to determine compassionate balance rather than the finickity judgment that seduces our Virgin. Refine, yes. Adjust, yes. But don’t smother. Breakthroughs will come from the minor tweaking. It’s the fine-tuning of the radio dial that locates the clear broadcast.

We’ll feel the clarifying shift in energies with six planets in earth signs combined with a healthy dose of mutability bringing the necessary physical changes. During our navigation of this Pisces/Virgo lunar axis we find we’ve worked hard for something that Virgo is now suggesting we give up. In fact, you feel you have no choice but to let it go. The loss is deep, the grief tangible yet in the surrender of this attachment, you’ll create the space for grace. Keep the faith the right ‘Yes!’ will arrive.

All the juggernaut outer planets remain retrograde making the larger global, transpersonal issues turgid and seemingly impossible to solve. Barely moving they’re drilling down on their stationery degrees (check them out in your personal natal chart) ensuring we don’t skip class. Repeating lessons where necessary in order to compost our new knowing into deep inner wisdom. Review recent months. What would you do differently? Become conscious of your cause-and-effect trajectory.

Chiron the wounded healer and The North Node of our collective destiny are adding to the ponderous pace being retrograde in Aries. But there’s movement on the personal with Venus now stationed direct once more and Mercury stationing direct in alignment with the new moon. With this energy we can claim our power in the small, the everyday. The new positive habit. The more fruitful thought. The shifting of clutter. The change of routine. The review of our health plan. Virgo ensures we maintain the routines and practises that create the long-term difference. Prioritise your personal needs in order to be of best service to others and the earth. Chiron gives you the courage to try the new, to push your boundaries to a healthier more vital self.

With our reversed lunar axis this new moon asks us to build new workable structures from what we learnt during the emotional tsunami of the Pisces full moon. The revelations of recent weeks are ready to be integrated into a practical step by step plan that inches you forward step by carefully curated step. It’s a little discombobulating feeling we’ve just begun Virgo season when in reality we’re more than half way through. But now the pieces are clicking into place. Mutable earth is infinitely adaptable. This energy desires to be efficient and make progress. It likes to reflect at the end of the day and see the fruits of consistent, persistent effort.

Sun and Moon trine Uranus in Taurus is a wonderfully supportive aspect bringing idealistic, progressive, intuitive and original ideas to the fore. Plans will move forward quickly as Uranus seeks to awaken truth. But Uranus isn’t linear. Be open to the miraculous and the unexpected. Curved balls can be positive and generally, when we’re least expecting them. Faith is rewarded. Jupiter, also in Taurus, wants evidence. This new moon can deliver it.

Black Moon Lilith is at the anuretic degree of Leo – banished from the Garden she stands her ground for inclusivity and individuality. She takes no prisoners as she urgently reinforces the message of personal sovereignty. The Divine feminine is not relenting. She knows we need to metaphorically ‘gird our loins’ in order to traverse the times ahead.

The Sabian symbol for 22 Virgo is “A Royal Coat of Arms Enriched with Precious Stones”. Though you may not have noble blood, the Virgo coat of arms reveals your inherent nobility of spirit. Stand tall knowing your character and talents command respect, regardless of heritage. Break limiting beliefs around background, gender or class. Instead, embrace empowering feelings of strength and self-worth, as one who bears a coat of arms displays pride in who they are. You have a destined role to play. Yet beware haughtiness, for true nobility shows care for all people, regardless of rank. Awaken to your divine self-worth.

With the Sun and Moon opposed Neptune retrograde in Pisces be mindful of the shadow of martyrdom and self-sacrifice. Virgo’s service works because it is perfectly balanced with healthy self-esteem and self-care. This creates the capacity for serving others. Lean heavily on Virgo’s strength to steer yourself from the temptation to check out, to fantasise, to escape. Neptune offers revelatory insights into the human psyche but in the process can cloud the bigger picture. This is a game of smoke and mirrors.

With Neptune in a long-term square to the galactic centre we’re more sensitive to our intuitive gifts. Our winged messenger, Mercury, can only take us so far. We need higher level knowing to navigate these times. Conjure up your invisible allies and journey together.

The Sun and Moon are trine Pluto, Jupiter and Uranus. With this rare alignment Meta frequencies are encouraging us to see and thereby create the new Earth. Many of us are currently mimicking the Ostrich because acknowledging the level of duplicity we have collectively fallen prey to is overwhelming. Far easier to ignore. Yet if instead of burying our heads we simply re-direct them towards visioning the world we do want we’ll find solid solutions showing up. It propels us forward with unexpected surprises, a feeling of expansion and genuine transformations. Intuitions are not to be ignored.

With Venus square Jupiter relationships may be emotionally demanding. There’s also the tendency for luxurious extravagance. Softened by Venus trine Chiron in Aries. Here she reminds you to own yourself fully even if it triggers interpersonal relationships. What’s the healed story? Not the broken one. How do you make your dreams manifest? How do the dots connect? What’s the obvious next step?

Virgo does love to nit-pick. Critical judgment needs to be watched. Direct that meticulous energy towards efficiency innovations and health hacks instead. Be more tolerant and accepting of life’s seeming imperfections. Trust life and let it flow its own way, not everything must be according to our expectations.

As we plant metaphoric seeds in the rich soil of Virgo season, some care and cultivation will be required before they fully sprout. Have faith in the germination process. The great strength of Virgo is remaining flexible towards the best outcome. She is happiest in service. She wants things to work. She will find a way. Nurture yourself and your dreams. Align with divine timing.

This Virgo New Moon brings blessed opportunities to bolster well-being and integrate lessons from the recent Pisces deep dive. As we approach the autumn equinox the winds of change are blowing. Hone your discernment to traverse the invisible currents with aplomb. Wishing you infinite new moon love and blessings

Bountiful Harvest New Moon Ritual

As the new moon rises, we gather under her light and connect with the stabilizing energy of the earth element. Set your sacred space and use light brown, green, and yellow candles represent the grounding forces of soil, nature, and the harvest. Light them and let them burn for the entirety of your ceremony.

Hold a bowl of earth in your hands, feeling its solid, supportive energy. Set the intention to be more present and connected to your needs. Allow any worries to fall away as you release them into the earth. Know you are supported.

Prepare an altar with harvest fruits, seeds, grains, and vegetables. Appreciate natures gifts of nourishment and abundance. As you sit with these sumptuous offerings, set intentions for self-care and balance in the coming cycles. What physical, emotional, and spiritual wisdom do you seek to cultivate?

Now anoint your third eye and pulse points with cypress, cedarwood or patchouli essential oils to activate inner vision. Place a citrine crystal on your altar for manifestation. Write down goals and dreams you wish to achieve in the next six months. Plant these intention seeds of renewal in any areas of your life that you feel needs it.

Thank the earth for grounding you as the seasons shift. May the seeds you plant this new moon illuminate your soul’s purpose and may you transform and flourish as nature guides you into deeper wisdom.

Close your ritual by enjoying a warm drink with grounding herbs like ginger, cinnamon, and turmeric. May your connection with the earth element inspire you to thrive.

So mote it be….

This iconic story is coming back!

Unfortunately Johnny’s disappearance from Hollywood was due to his divorce to ex wife Amber Heard, which also lead to cancelling his participation in “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” the “Pirates of the Caribbean”.

Once in a Blue Moon – Pisces August 30/31st – How to ride the Mystical tides and Manifest your Wildest Dreams

0

Once in a Blue Moon – Pisces August 30/31st – How to ride the Mystical tides and Manifest your Wildest Dreams. Our cosmic fish swim in on a Blue Moon waxing full on Thursday 31st August at 2.35am BST. Higher tides, seismic shifts and accelerated psychic static guaranteed. At seven degrees Pisces it super powers the mystical and the magical. It’s sympathetic and kind, but produces a sense of discomfort about what you can truly trust? This is a private, sensitive, intimate tete a tete with your Soul. Are you paying attention? Do you know what your Soul’s aching to tell you? Are you following your sixth sense? Listening to your dreams, hunches, inner knowing’s?

Once in a Blue Moon – Pisces August 30/31st

This mystical Blue Moon brings a touch of magic. Dive deep and let intuition be your guide. The cosmic hotline has mystical messages awaiting, if you’re willing to take the plunge into your inner wisdom lakes.

Pisces helps us tap into our boundless imagination, channels our intuition and connects us to the spiritual realms. During this particular lunar rarity, our magical mindset will be lit up. Visions, dreams, and mystical messages are there for the noticing. Break out the tarot cards or try automatic writing. Sleep may be dream-filled and vivid. Write down messages received during meditation or creative work. Magic is swirling, and the signs are neon.

The compassionate fish will turbo charge our empathy allowing for deep healing to occur. Pisces rules forgiveness, so lingering grudges will feel particularly heavy. Let them go and channel that energy into philanthropic pursuits that make a difference. We’ll feel best when helping others but not to the point of ignoring our own needs.  Balance is always key.

The cosmic fish swims the Blue Moon waters

With changeable Pisces influencing this moon, emotions will be as fluid as water. If you’ve been swimming against the current, this lunar event provides a chance to stop fighting and go with the flow. Release control and see where the cosmic tides take you.

Pisces rules our feet. Take this Blue Moon as a reminder to ground yourself. Spend time barefoot on the earth, do yoga poses to strengthen your foundation, or visualize roots growing from your toes. Staying grounded will allow you to paradoxically fly higher and help when Pisces turbulent waters get rough.

The turbulence comes with the fact that structured Saturn is retrograde in Pisces’ oceanic seas. Saturn’s current backspin in this fantasy-filled sign will make realities feel fluid and spark contemplation about life’s impermanence.

Pisces dissolution meets Saturn’s tested boundaries—what needs to remain? What is ready to be released?

Rigid thinking gets diluted in Pisces’ waters. Open up to inspired ideas, but do your due diligence before fully committing. Follow the flow, but avoid drifting aimlessly. Saturn is in the process of ending and removing what no longer serves us in the 3D realm.  It relates to our energetic responsibilities, old Soul lessons and significant karma we’ve attached to.

This work can feel discouraging, depressive, challenging and very alone at times.  Saturn in Pisces insists that to discover the Ancient Soul within we have to go it alone and trust ourselves to fix it. A good question to unearth where to look is “What’s the one thing I don’t want to do, that if I did it, would shift the energy in my life towards more joy and happiness?”

Saturn says let’s get real about daily habits. 

Ones that include tuning in to that very real connection we have with the divine.  We’re multi-dimensional beings, life is mysterious.  Tangible reality is more malleable and changeable than we consciously understand. Saturn asks you to welcome in this new expanded consciousness and put Spiritual practice into action.  Choose to embody the higher dimensional being you actually are.

“a girl blowing a bugle”

The Sabian symbol for this lunar degree is “a girl blowing a bugle”.  It suggests a rallying call, a call to action.  A wake-up to the realities that surround us, yet knowing that we are calling for support.  It’s a perfect symbol for Saturn in Pisces – getting real on the bigger picture as our Blue Super Moon shines its light on deceptions, scandals and our own delusions.

Directly opposed the Sun in Virgo, we’re on the astrological pivot of health bringing the axis of Pisces dreams and Virgo reality into prominence. Giving rise to a great opportunity for healing both self and others. The intuitive Pisces moon pierces through Virgo’s analysis. Don’t overthink and lose touch with your heart’s wisdom. But Virgo’s presence can also anchor Pisces’ urge to merge by focusing on practical details. What do you need to take care of? How did you get here? The balancing of the spiritual with the physical is what we need for true health.

Saturn and Virgo’s influence brings this moon down to Earth. 

Completing the tedious, without complaint, leaves more energy to enjoy life’s sweeter bouquets. No more procrastinating. Just do it.  You’re not without high level support here.  Ask for potent dreams, ask the Oracle or your guardian angel. Whatever works for you make that prayer and recruit your higher helpers into the equation. Saturn is serious and challenging but show willing to take responsibility and you enlist one of the Cosmos’s most powerful helpers.

With eight celestial bodies currently retrograde most of life is currently idling on amber. Overwhelm and confusion adds to the mix with lots of planets in mutable signs currently illuminated by Pisces delusional tendencies.  Release and feel relief.  Let yourself be like the fish, meandering in all directions down the river of life. Allow yourself to drift with the varying tides for a while. Earth and water are slower frequencies, requiring peace and calm. Change can be natural and easy.  It can flow with Grace if we allow it. Let go, let God. The old and stale is being uprooted.  Allow the change. Embrace it. The larger shift forward comes with the turn of the annual wheel going into 2024.

This moon unleashes the inner creative in us all.

With Venus retrograde still moving through Leo the external expression of these creative juices could be overly dramatic. Square Jupiter in Taurus we’re also coming to terms with financial evolution.  Cosmic disrupter, Uranus has just begun its retrograde journey through Taurus adding its celestial powers to the Super Moon’s potential for radical seismic earth shifts, cyber outages, financial upheaval and the like.  Digital currencies will hit the headlines. Central banking ones are the old, dying order of Capricorn.  The new kid Aquarius, says de-centralised is the future – power with the people, for the people, by the people.

Bewilderment comes with the realisation of everything we thought we knew was wrong.  The continued deceptions being thrown to light by our astrological referees can push more of us into this dis-orientation. Keep tethered to your higher reality, your Soul’s knowing that whatever happens it’s somehow all ok.  Reality is a choice of repeated thoughts. Focus on self-sovereignty and your inalienable ability to create. Pisces creates the tether to faith; Saturn reminds us to practise it in our daily reality.

This Blue moon carries a strong Pisces signature. 

It’s an important moment to release what no longer serves your future.  Certainly, you’re learning you no longer need external validation in the way you once did.  With what is swirling so sternly around us it’s more important than ever to integrate our intuitive knowing into our everyday reality.

Those cosmic fish look at both sides of everything. They want to understand it all. Be open to the new and be prepared to admit you might have been wrong about the old. None of us have it all figured out.  Surrender to the all-encompassing wisdom of the Universe. The Pisces full moon can act as a spell against our collective indifference at what is currently happening on our planet.  Ultimately the antidote is a commitment to radical actionable goodness for all. Walk gently on this Earth with an open loving heart, every second of every day.

The mingling energies of this Blue Moon are sure to open creative and magical portals. But with changeable Pisces influencing this lunar event, emotions may be as fluid as the tides and the tendency to escape will be strong.  Dose your dreams with reality for the most bountiful outcome. To develop we need to be willing to continually walk across thresholds, down tunnels, through doorways and inhabit new spaces. Release control, get grounded, and let cosmic currents carry you into new waters. Wishing you all infinite full moon love and blessings

Ritual For Pisces Full Moon

Under the light of this full moon find a quiet, comfortable place where you can sit or stand near a source of water, like a lake, stream, or your bathroom sink. You will need to take a small bowl with you.  You might also like to set the space with a candle/holder or incense.

This moon’s silvery illumination purifies and washes clean.

Take a few deep breaths to centre yourself and set your intention to let go of emotions and energy that no longer serve your highest good.

Fill the bowl with cool water. As you do so, visualize the water washing away any pain, sadness, anger, or other emotions you wish to release.

Hold the water in your hands and take a moment to reflect on the feelings you want to let go of, feel them in your body. Speak them aloud if you wish. Know that it is okay to release them.

When you feel ready, slowly pour the water out on the ground or down the sink, visualizing the emotions flowing out of you. As you pour, say aloud “I release you fully, you are no longer part of my reality.” Feel the emotions wash away.

Repeat this ritual as many times as needed, refilling the bowl and setting a new emotional release intention each time.

When finished, breathe deeply and soak in the Pisces moon’s radiance. Its light cleanses and renews. What is left is space for growth, wisdom, and unconditional love.

Whenever you need to cleanse burdening emotions during this moon cycle, remember this ritual. The water is always there to support you.

So mote it be…..
