Full Moon in Leo ~ Snow Moon

Elsa from Frozen by SnowBite

What a fantastic night Valentine's Day will be with the sultry Leo Full Moon illuminating this romantic evening! Even for those without a partner the Snow Moon shows that gratitude for what IS, is what's important. Especially as earlier in the day the Moon makes a square to Saturn in Scorpio making us dig deep at our core level! I don't know about you guys, but my daughter is in LOVE with Frozen. I do have to say, it was a rather refreshing Disney movie for a change! And if you've seen the movie, you could see some similarities with what'll be happening with this Moon!

The fiery Leo Full Moon burns with an intensity! But with Mercury retrograde happening right now as of the 6th, you might be feeling a need to hold back.. But you also know you need to Let It Go! Maybe just not yet! Or if you do manage to break through, with the Aquarius influence you probably feel that you're doing it for the greater good! Another thing with this month is there is no New Moon!! Think about it as a snowstorm.. You get the advisory notice, everyone runs to the store and then sits and waits for what might or might not be a blizzard! LOL!

The New Moon on March 1st in the last sign of Pisces bringing the beginning to the end as the next New Moon in the 1st sign of Aries occurs at the end of the month on the 30th! So while this Full Moon might bring about some drama.. stand strong and proud! And be ready to get more of what you want! Leo energy can be a little selfish, but that's ok.. sometimes we need that!

But if you're needing a little self love for yourself and want to bring about some strength and determination back.. try this!

✪ Spell for Self-Empowerment ✪
Items Needed: This is somewhat up to you.. this can be done simply with meditation. But you might want to use a pink or white candle if you'd like to draw more of a focus and a piece of paper and a pencil if you want to put a little more energy into things too! If you'd like to enchant an item you could choose a ring or necklace of blue lace agate or rose quartz, or any other stone with properties you'd like to draw upon!

*Like with any working, you might want to take a bath and place some salt in it as well to draw out any negativity, or a shower and visualize the water bathing you in white light!

Start by lighting your candle. Simply gaze at it's flame and feel the energy that emits from the heat. Carry that feeling as you think of your passions, what you fight and stand for. Now, think also of the things that seem to hold you back and how this can have you feeling both "frozen" and also enraged. Bring light to the struggles!

Take this energy and write down what you feel is holding you back! Put any insecurities down. Anything that you feel isn't going to be of any help, but that you have to deal with. It's time to let it go!!! 

After you're done, take a second to look at your list.. and then say "NO MORE!" and tear it to shreds!!!! Then throw it up into the air and make it snow! (Be careful none catches on fire from your candle if you've used one!) 

If you're putting your energy into an item, hold it in your hand now and then say;

"I am divinely perfect with love bursting from my soul, 
Courageous and determined to reach my goal. 
Shedding away my fears of yesterday, 
I step into my being and embrace the confidence that's here to stay!"

Put your item on and begin to clean up your "snow". If you can dispose of it outside the house, the better. You can leave your candle to burn if you'd like to have some more confidence flowing, or you can snuff it and burn it again later.


I hope this Full Moon brings you closer to your dreams and strengthens you belief in yourself!! And if you would like some help personalizing your own energy work or if you'd like me to take a look at what you can expect over the next moon cycle, take a look at my services page or send me a message at my email or facebook and I’d be happy to assist you!

Full Moon in Pisces ~ Harvest Moon

Photo: Huffington Post

The Pisces Full Moon came about early this morning and the energy sure seems to be a ZINGER! Reality seems to be setting in, but it's a good thing too. Let's not forget Pluto the planet of endings is going direct tomorrow! Saturn makes a sextile to Pluto on Saturday and we'll be feeling a little resistance or hesitation in our changes. And with the Autumn Equinox coming about on Sunday with the Sun moving into Libra -- it's ALL about balance! If you're in the Southern Hemisphere then you're having the Spring Equinox, and new beginnings coming to you! Actually, there's new beginnings either way... I had the thought earlier that "everything is temporary", and then I though HOLY CRAP that is just what this Full Moon is telling me!

I hadn't been as chatty in the last few days.. the week didn't start the easiest, and by this time it's almost a blur! Let me just say; department of motor vehicles! My husband and son are going out of town for a few days. My daughter's take home EEG now looks like it will end up being a hospital stay. And then my chihuahua who hasn't had a seizure in years suddenly decides he's going to have one. It had me feeling a little stressed and down and out. Like everything was just piling up. Then today it hit me like a ton of bricks...

Yep, I'd fallen into the trap of feeling like life was just soooo complicated! Ummm... did I forget we just bought a house in June? That was some stress! LOL! And even when our daughter had been diagnosed with LKS years ago; THAT was extremely stressful! And then just like that, with realizing I was further than where I was and everything is temporary; things turned around! The stress I was carrying melted away, I dusted my hands off and realized that the path keeps on going.

Throughout the Moon's cycles, there is a death and rebirth happening. During this Full Moon we are heightened with the Pisces/Virgo energy. Being in Pisces we might be putting too much focus on our burdens. We may be feeling like we are needing to sacrifice something to get to our happiness. We need to remember the compassion and fluidity of Pisces! The Virgo energy of the Sun, is pushing for the final distance, to have us do more before it moves into harmonizing Libra. It's best to take this time to let go of feeling like we are inadequate in some way. Put your attentions on being grateful for how far you've come from last year. If things are seeming like they aren't quite as good as they were last year, remember -- it's temporary! You may be at a high or a low, or maybe even a steady plateau, but like always, things will end and begin and you'll be able to put the experiences into perspective.

So take this time to slow down a little! Grab yourself a nice cup of tea, coffee, or maybe a glass of wine and take a moment to reflect on what you've been able to accomplish. Be proud of what you've done!! Let go of the things that aren't helping you meet your goals. Even if that means you gotta step out of your own way! And allow yourself to know that you do have the ability to move yourself even further than where you've previously been. DREAM BIG! You may be surprised at what you'll be able to create! Be grateful for where you are at in this moment, where you've been, and think about what you wish to manifest for your future!

I hope this Full Moon brings you closer to your dreams and more creativity and confidence! If you would like me take a look at what you can expect over the next moon cycle, take a look at my services page or send me a message at my email or facebook and I'd be happy to assist you!

Have a fabulous day!

Full Moon in Leo

Leo Fairy - @ Etsy by Fairies By Nuria

The Full Moon in Leo occurs at 11:38 PM EST on Saturday and is the first Full Moon of the new year! With the energy being on the Leo/Aquarius axis the feeling of creativity within ourselves that we can share with others is brought to light! The ruler of Leo is, of course, our life force the Sun. Leo rules the 5th house; our house of creativity, among other things. It's one reason I picked the picture to use. I LOVE Etsy!! There are some awesomely creative artists on there! And sooner or later I'll be putting up some of my work there; both artwork and magickal items that I make such as incense, herbal body sprays and perfumes, household sprays, etc. Aquarius' rules the 11th house; our house of friendships and hopes and dreams. The traditional ruler of Aquarius is Saturn which also is the ruler of Capricorn.

And so the The New Moon in Capricorn that occurred on January 11th, gave us the need to find direction and security in our emotions. Now that we're at the Full Moon we are at a culminating point of feeling that the way we express our individuality will directly affect the way we feel about ourselves in a way that also reflects our self confidence to others... But that's not always so easy to come to terms with at times either and we all have our own doubts with the hopes and dreams we wish to achieve. So what better time than the Full Moon to cast a spell to cast out our doubts! Saturday is ruled by Saturn as well, and since Saturn can be a little restrictive in nature, usually spells are done in a way of binding or banishing. You see how everything just seems to fall into place together? Such is the way of nature! And so, here we are with a spell to get rid of self doubt and to pick ourselves up with some confidence. Of course, you can alter it if you like!!


✪ Spell to Cast Out Self-Doubt ✪
Items needed: a red or pink candle (for self love), white candle (for cleansing), black candle (for banishing), salt (preferably sea salt), sugar, 2 pieces of paper, and 2 heat resistant bowls.

*Before the actual working you may wish to take a bath and place some salt in it as well to draw out any negativity, or a shower and visualize the water bathing you in white light!

Arrange the 3 candles in a triangle with the red candle on the left side (the receptive side), the black candle on the right side (the active side), and the white candle at the top of the triangle (the divine). Place the 2 bowls between the top candle and side candles.. this sorta makes a star out of the items! In the bowl on the left, place some sugar; in the bowl on the right, place some salt. Make sure you keep a little of the salt and sugar handy for the next part!

Take one of your pieces of paper and write down all your doubts and fears. Really get it all out there of what you're scared to achieve, any insecurities you feel, etc.. Place this in the bowl of salt. Take your other piece of paper and write down all that you're wanting to achieve, your positive attributes, etc.. Place this in the bowl of sugar.

Now take the paper from the salt, sit and think for a moment of the feelings and really FEEL the energy that comes from this worry, fear, anxiety... then say: "I bind my low self-esteem and doubt. With these feelings, I can do without. Take this negativity away from me. And as I will, so mote it be!". Light the black candle and burn your paper of doubt and fear in the salt bowl and toss some more salt into it to cast out your fears!

Then take the paper from the sugar and sit and think about how much you're appreciated by others, the friendships you have, the creativity that is within you and the hopes and dreams you want to achieve. Bring this energy into you and feel yourself expand in hopefulness! Then say: "I bring to myself creativity and love. With blessings from the divine above. These changes that I need to see. And as I will, so mote it be!". Light the red or pink candle and burn your paper of hopes and dreams in the sugar bowl and toss some more sugar into it for sweet blessings!

Take a moment to watch these 2 candles burn and feel yourself letting go of the fears as they're replaced with of feelings of love, hope, strength and the desire to achieve the best that you can! Hear the roar of the mighty lion!!

Now light the white candle and continue to feel, and visualize yourself as confident, creative, and successful. Then say: "For the good of all, with harm to none. As I will, let it be done!".

Continue to let the candles burn down for as long as possible, preferably completely. But if you can't, take any remnants and either bury them in some dirt, throw them in a body of water, or just toss them in the trash!



I hope this Full Moon brings you closer to your dreams and strengthens you belief in yourself!! And if you would like me to personalize some spellwork for you or would like me to take a look at what you can expect over the next moon cycle, take a look at my services page or send me a message at my email or facebook and I'd be happy to assist you!

New Moon in Capricorn

Here we are blessed with MORE Capricorn energy!! Currently we have the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Pluto in Capricorn. And now with the New Moon of the New Year.. we can expect to have more accountability with the actions we take! The energy will be focus on the Capricorn/Cancer axis. Capricorn is the ruler of the 10th house and our career aspirations, social status, responsibility, and authority in our lives. Capricorn's ruling planet is Saturn, and Saturn reminds us to have patience and discipline with our determination!

The Moon's ruling sign is Cancer. Because Cancer is such an emotional sign, there can be a tendency to cling to the past, emotions may run deep as we try to figure out what will bring the depths of nurturing and security we're looking for. This New Moon with it's Capricorn/Cancer influence will help us take responsibility with our emotions and GET REAL with where we want our life's path to go! If you weren't able to make New Years Resolutions, this time would be PERFECT for bringing them to light!

Throughout the Moon's cycles, there is a death and rebirth happening. During the New Moon we let our instincts lead us. Being in Capricorn the focus will be on moving forward efficiently and letting go of emotions that are holding us back; reclaiming personal power and stepping into more leadership, and enjoying stable  friendships and relationships where everyone contributes equally. Those with a planet or angle at 22 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer, may feel the strength of the New Moon more directly. So let's take a look at how this might effect your sign!



Aries (March 21 - April 19)- This Moon activates your 10th House and you might feel a struggle to make yourself known or be concerned at how people view you. If you're looking for power, you need to realize it comes with responsibility! Don't feel as though you are entitled to authority. Finding a balance between your influence and why you seek it emotionally will be of importance. Be careful not to let it consume you thought! The ambition to succeed is there, be sure the reason you're working so hard is really what you want at the end result!

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)- This stabilizing Capricorn Moon finds itself in your 9th House of philosophy, personal freedom, and reaching out. This is not a time to be limiting of yourself or condescending, you'll need to keep an open mind. With Saturn in your 7th house of relationships, you could be ready to take things in a new direction. You would do best to trust your actions are done with the best intentions, even if others might not accept your decision. Your emotional fulfillment will be directly related to the changes you implement at this time.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)- As this Moon finds itself in your 8th House, your house of shared resources, and transformation; you may experience this energy in many ways over the next month! And with your ruling planet Mercury also being there; your thought process and connections with others may be reborn. You feel things are at a turning point and you're ready to start doing things that are necessary to set you straight! You are usually one that is honest and don't hold back what's on your mind. Stand true with what you feel and believe!

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)- Relationships and career will be a MAJOR focus for you with the Moon in your 7th house of commitments and business partnerships. You could be looking at things in a new light, although maybe a little more realistically! Your emotional nature has you wanting to try things in a different way and taking more responsibility with what you're feeling and WHY you're feeling it. If work has been a struggle, try approaching it more creatively so that it feels more like an investment in yourself! Now is the time to bring about a consciously directed growth within yourself and with the work you put out in the world!

Leo (July 23 - August 22)- During this New Moon, it'll hit your 6th house of health and daily routines. If things have been in a slump, it's time to get yourself back on track! Maybe that workout has been put off or your resolution to give something up has been tough. Take this energy and put it to good use!! Try to find the focus you need as the Sun finishes out it's time in Capricorn as well. If you've had any health problems, now would be the time to address them. Establishing a routine for a healthy body and mind can be beneficial!

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)- This New Moon finds itself landing in your 5th House, house of creativity, children and hobbies. There may end up being an emotional "block" that comes about, but it's more about the lesson that there's a time for play and a time when work needs to be done! This may further be enhanced by your ruling planet Mercury being here as well. Try not to over think things too much. If you have children, take time to play games with them that you enjoyed.. or if your older, there's nothing wrong with a couple of beers for an adult game night either!

Libra (September 23 - October 22)- You can expect this New Moon in your 4th house to be bringing focus to your home and family. Events from the past may unexpectedly have you thinking of how it affects you in the present. If there has been strained relations within your family, now is the time to address them. Your appreciation for family is more easily shown. You might also find yourself wanting to tackle home projects that you've put off to make your home more how you've wanted it to be or if relocation has been on your mind, this may be the start of that action!

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)- You may feel a strong drive to achieve what you've been looking for through intellect as the Moon moves through your 3rd House of communication and thought. This will be a time to expand your ideas! Important conversations will allow you to take responsibility for your choices in the future, just make sure to take others opinions into consideration. If you have a special talent, you might find satisfaction in teaching others your skill. Since this is also a time of finding stability, establishing or re-establishing a meditation routine may prove beneficial!

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)- Finances will focus in heavily with the New Moon in your 2nd House of income and self-worth. It might be tough to realize what's serving it's purpose for you and what's expendable! You may be living beyond your means or you could start to question your understanding of security. Especially as your ruling planet Jupiter is in your 7th house of business associates! A change may be necessary, but taking the leap of faith might just be what it takes to have you see what you're really living for! If you need to work on yourself, now is the time to do it!

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)- This is YOUR New Moon! If you've held yourself back due to fear of not succeeding, it's time to let go of that fear! Being in your 1st House of your personality and approach, you will decide your capabilities. Don't get in your own way! You have strong recuperative abilities that let you bounce back from any struggle that's been happening. Just be careful of impatience and compulsiveness. Your ruling planet Saturn is in your 11th house of hopes and dreams and you'll be able to take this time to really get things in order to bring about the change you've been wanting to achieve!

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)- With the Moon in your 12th House of enlightenment you may need to look inward. Don't lose faith in your goals, but you might be surprised if you shift your focus from recognition for your actions to feeling fulfilled by the service you're providing. With your modern ruling planet Uranus in your 3rd house of thought it's time to listen to your inner voice, rely on your intuition and take time for some self contemplation. Your traditional ruler of Saturn is in your 10th house so you will be able to evaluate things honestly and acknowledge your faults AND your virtues!

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)- This Capricorn Moon finds itself in your 11th House, the house of groups and friendships. You may find this energy as being restricted or be faced with pressure from others. It could be the time to step outside of yourself or your comfort zone for a change. You may be the one that needs to take the lead in organizing a group experience if you want to spread your humanitarianism. The 11th house is also one of hopes and dreams. Use this time to find your inspiration and harness the energy to realize your deepest passions!


Usually when I do my Full Moon posts I include a spell, but while I was on facebook earlier today I noticed that Llewellyn Worldwide had posted a great spell for today!! So I'd definitely like to share that here, Spell For Beginning a Project!

I hope the New Moon treats you well and helps open up experiences that will help us all along with more stability on our path this next month! If you have any questions regarding how the planets are affecting you personally, you can reach me at facebook or email!

Many Blessings!!

30 Days To Change

When I first had the idea for this post it was mostly based off of my post 30 Days To Finding Love. That and I've been watching the show 30 Days on Netflix! And then today while I was outside I had a volunteer come up to the house to see if I wanted to receive my ballot in the mail, which I already have sent in my info to receive it! So, on that note... PLEASE VOTE! If you need to register to vote, it needs done ASAP as most states require you to register 30 days before the election. Current election countdown: 37 days!! I gotta be honest.. I've been able to vote for the last 4 elections, but when you're young it's not really something you think is all that important and the last election was the first I took part in... and let me say, it was TRULY empowering! So get out there and vote because your opinion matters! And it doesn't matter if our opinions are different, everyone is entitled to make their own decisions. Which is what is really being shown on the show 30 Days! Brief summary; take one person who has an opinion and see if they can live with their opposition for 30 days. It really is VERY eye opening with some of the situations people are put in. Especially the episode where a man had lost his job being outsourced to India. If you can catch the series, definitely give it a look!

Now obviously this post isn't going to be like my other one, but hey that's OK! Today's the Full Moon and lemme tell you, it seems like EVERYONE is really being affected by it's transforming energy! I know I am and I can't wait to see what it brings about! And really it doesn't take 30 days to make a change... changes come about by consciously making a choice moment by moment! But within 30 days, or a moon cycle if you want to look at it that way, you really can bring about a more cohesive routine into your life! Routines and schedules are great! Everything in nature is routine. Heck, not to bring up 30 Days again, but the episode where he lived on the Native American reservation he was expected to wake up every morning for a run to greet the Sun! And in some ways there are routines that we have come to live with that we might not always enjoy; e.g. WORK! Lots of people are dissatisfied in their J.O.B.s (Just Over Broke). But there are those routines that we are able to create for ourselves that can bring about the change that we want for ourselves whether it be a better income, relationship, physique, or even state of mind!

So for 30 days, starting on October 1st.. let's all keep a journal (mine'll just be a notebook or maybe I'll post some to facebook too!) and every day until October 31st when with Samhain or Halloween and the Turn of the Wheel, see what we can manifest for ourselves! Write down at least one goal - go ahead and elaborate your ideas on how you would achieve this if you want. Be able to really solidify your plan within your mind and see yourself achieving success! Also write down at least one thing you are grateful for! It's important to reflect on the good things that are there in life and it makes it much more appreciative when success comes about.. and keeps you a little grounded! I would definitely like to see what you can create, so please feel free to send me an email or message at facebook!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! (and don't forget to register to vote this coming week if you're not registerd!)

Full Moon in Pisces

The Full Moon in Pisces occured at 1:05pm EST today; Tuesday, August 24, 2010. And is the climatic blessing of the projects started during the New Moon in Leo on August 9, which brought us closer to our inspirational creativity and the ideals we hope to achieve. This Full Moon is on the Pisces/Virgo axis and with the Sun making it's move into Virgo and having it's ruler, Mercury, currently retrograde in Virgo as well; we will still be introspective in our dealings. We have the sense in not rushing things, avoiding the small details is where things get complicated! The Pisces Moon with it's traditional and modern rulers also being retrograde, allows us to see the bigger picture in order to wrap up the final loose ends to make way for bigger and better!

Virgo rules the 6th house, this is our house of everyday work and routines. It is our employer's, employees and our job; not necessarily "career". We can also see our habits, health and well-being here. As stated, it's ruler Mercury is retrograde. Pisces oversees the 12th house. It's traditional ruler being Jupiter, currently retrograde in Aries, and it's modern ruler, Neptune, is also retrograde in Aquarius. The 12th house energy can be one of self sacrifice but it can also be intuitive and dreaminess. It brings about a retreat and reflection. The 12th house also has ties to mysticism, occult, and psychic matters; as well as hospitals, prisons, and institutions.

What needs to be remembered is that the sign is the modifier of the feelings and actions of a planet, while the house shows how it reacts to the modifying influence. The sign is what a planet is, and the house is how it's going to do.

Throughout the Moon's cycles, there is a death and rebirth happening. During the Full Moon a time of personal fulfillment brings us through the cycle of exploring new thoughtfulness.. While in Pisces, focus will be on making time for reflection, meditation, breaking bad habits, finishing up forgotten projects, regaining confidence, and the need to establish a better routine. This Full Moon with it's Pisces/Virgo influence will help us look deep within to be appreciative of the path we've taken so far and be looking forward to the new cycle we begin as our dreams become realized!!

Now I know usually I will include some sort of spell or even some more astro tidbits, but I am actually going through my own new cycle and am planning a move for next month. We just finalized the drop off of our containers and I have been feverishly packing and cleaning to make sure we can get the move going without too many upsets. Which is a lot of planning when you have pets and 2 kids to transport 1500+ miles!! So some of my blog posts might be a little snipped over the next month, but once we get settled in I expect the blog to pick back up! If you watch my twitter or facebook you'll be sure to see my updates as I get us on the road. It's an exciting time for us to be moving again, but it's time to "tie up some loose ends"! ;)

I hope this Full Moon brings you closer to your dreams and if you would like me take a look at what you can expect over the next moon cycle, take a look at my services page or send me a message at my email or facebook and I'd be happy to assist you!

Many Blessings!!

       

New Moon in Leo

We're about to start a new cycle here with this New Moon falling on the Leo/Aquarius axis! Leo is the ruler of the 5th house and ruled by the Sun. The 5th house is where we find our jollies; creation, procreation and recreation!! So, namely our artistic inspired creative talents; how we approach romance, courtship, and sex (or making babies, since 5th house is also for children!); sports and games, gambling and speculation. basically, the house of fun! Aquarius is traditionally ruled by Saturn and it's modern ruler Uranus, and is ruler over the 11th house. The 11th house is where we find our ideals, humanity and community. These are the ideals you seek to live by or achieve; your hopes, desires, dreams, and your humanitarian concerns. It's how you establish your individuality and freedom; and maybe how you break the rules! But also how you relate to friends and groups of people who share your ideals.

Now remember, the Sun and Moon are the 2 most important "planets" in your chart. Technically they aren't planets, but are luminaries, since they give off light! The Sun represents our emotional security or insecurities, temperament and attachments. The Moon is our feelings and our perception of emotions. When the Sun and Moon are activated together, it creates an intense energy flow between the Sun (consciousness) and the Moon (feelings).

So what does this mean for this New Moon? Well, these Leoine energies are giving us that feeling like our inner child, or Fetch in the Feri world, wants to come out and play!! Leo energy is ambitious, outgoing, even royal. You want it your way and you want it NOW! And while Leo's energy can somewhat be self centered.. Aquarius is more about them. So you can see, we might need to be a little careful in the way we express ourselves or what we want to say might not come out quite right to others!

Throughout the Moon's cycles, there is a death and rebirth happening. During the New Moon we let our instincts lead us. While in Leo, focus will be on making time for play, creative projects, reclaiming personal power; celebrating your uniqueness, undertaking an adventure and risks, stepping into more leadership, and enjoying passionate love and friendship. This New Moon with it's Leo/Aquarius influence will help us push ourselves to realize that we can only achieve what we set ourselves out for!!

Those with a planet or angle at 18 degrees of Leo or Aquarius (or the other fixed signs of Taurus or Scorpio), may feel the strength of the New Moon more directly. So let's take a look at how this might effect your sign!

Aries (March 21 - April 19)- This New Moon activates your 5th House, and as previously stated, house of creativity, children and hobbies. You may have the feeling of wanting to make new friendships; or the friends you do have, you'll want the bond stronger! If you've put any creative projects on the back burner, now is a great time to get back to work on them. If you have children, take time to play games with them that you enjoyed.. or if your older, there's nothing wrong with a couple of beers for an adult game night either!

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)- As this New Moon activates your 4th House, it brings focus to your home and family. Events from the past may unexpectedly have you thinking of how it affects you in the present. You might also find yourself wanting to tackle home projects that you've put off to make your home more how you've wanted it to be or if relocation has been on your mind, this may be the start of that action! Any social connections at your house are sure to bring you deep emotional satisfaction. Your appreciation for family is easily shown.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)-You may feel a strong drive to achieve what you've been looking for through intellect and mental accomplishments as the New Moon sits in your 3rd House of communication and intelligence. The 3rd House also indicates siblings and neighbors, so you may be inspired to work on the relationship and become closer. This will be a time to expand and communicate your ideas! If you have a special talent, you might find satisfaction in teaching others your skill. Since this is also a time of increased awareness, establishing a meditation routine may prove beneficial!

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)- Finances will focus in heavily for with the New Moon hanging out in your 2nd House of income and worth. It might be tough to realize what's serving it's purpose for you and what's expendable! Financial transactions may factor in at this time. You may be living beyond your means and an increased need for domestic security will have a greater effect on your emotional well-being. You could start to question your understanding of security vs. materialism.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)- With this being YOUR New Moon in your in your 1st House, your personality and approach with others shine! Your will and self awareness are abundant! But don't let your Leoine self get the better of you! You'll need to be careful of impatience and compulsiveness as changeable moods, emotional excitability, and self expression factor in heavily! You may also have a tendency for emotional impulsiveness and could be confronted about your ego.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)- The New Moon finds itself in your 12th House you may need to re-evaluate the signals you subconsciously broadcast. This is not the time to lose faith in your goals.

New Moon in Cancer ~ Solar Eclipse!

Just as Venus will be reminding us to take stock of things, this Solar Eclipse in Cancer on July 11th, will be challenging us individually to really break free from what's holding us back. Because Cancer is a sign that has a tendency to cling to the past, emotions may run deep as we try to figure out what will bring the depths of nurturing and security we're looking for.

The Sun and Moon are the 2 most important "planets" in your chart. Technically they aren't planets, but are luminaries, since they give off light! The Sun represents our emotional security or insecurities, temperament and attachments. The Moon is our feelings and our perception of emotions. When the Sun and Moon are activated together, it creates an intense energy flow between the Sun (consciousness) and the Moon (feelings).

Throughout the Moon's cycles, there is a death and rebirth happening. During the New Moon we let our instincts lead us. While in Cancer, focus will be on your feelings of dependency, home comforts, family matters, past memories, fears, and our true passions. This New Moon with it's Cancer/Capricorn influence will help us push past anything weighing us down and GET REAL with where we want our life's path to go!

Now don't get into a tizzy the all of a sudden things are magickally going to get figured out! That's not the point. The energy from eclipses is technically activated for about 6 months or so. But the focus needs to be baby steps. One small step leads to another, and another, and so on. Give yourself the peace in knowing there is always a new sunrise and sunset each and every day. This is the time to get back to your roots.

Everyone will feel this energy differently, just as I last talked about with the Venus in Virgo post. Those with a planet or angle between 17 and 21 degrees of Cancer or Capricorn, may feel the strength of the eclipse more directly. So let's take a look at how this might effect your sign!


Aries (March 21 - April 19)- This Eclipse activates your 4th House, bringing focus to your home and family. Events from the past may unexpectedly have you thinking of how it affects you in the present. You might also find yourself wanting to tackle home projects that you've put off to make your home more how you've wanted it to be or if relocation has been on your mind, this may be the start of that action! Any social connections at your house are sure to bring you deep emotional satisfaction. Your appreciation for family is easily shown.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)- You may feel a strong drive to achieve what you've been looking for through intellect and mental accomplishments as the Eclipse sits in your 3rd House of communication and intelligence. The 3rd House also indicates siblings and neighbors, so you may be inspired to work on the relationship and become closer. This will be a time to expand and communicate your ideas! If you have a special talent, you might find satisfaction in teaching others your skill. Since this is also a time of increased awareness, establishing a meditation routine may prove beneficial!

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)- Finances will focus in heavily for with the Eclipse hanging out in your 2nd House of income and worth. It might be tough to realize what's serving it's purpose for you and what's expendable! Especially as Venus is making it's way through your 4th House, your home! You may be living beyond your means. A change may be necessary, but taking the leap of faith might just be what it takes to have you see what you're really living for! Humility can be a hard lesson to learn. You may start to question your understanding of security.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)- Here the Solar Eclipse is at it's most intense! If you've held yourself back due to fear of not succeeding, well you've already done just that! This Eclipse is represented in your 1st House, your personality and approach. You are not one to flaunt your ego, you genuinely care! Your will and self awareness are abundant! Don't let your Cancerian self hold that nurturing in, share it and spread the love! You have strong recuperative abilities that let you bounce back from any struggle that's been happening. Just be careful of impatience and compulsiveness.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)- With the Eclipse in your 12th House you may need to re-evaluate the signals you subconsciously broadcast. This is not the time to lose faith in your goals. but you might be surprised if you shift your focus from recognition for your actions to feeling fulfilled by the service you're providing. Do not give your control over to others thinking they have the answers. This is the time to listen to your inner voice, rely on your intuition and take time for some self contemplation. Evaluate things honestly and acknowledge your faults AND your virtues!

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)- This emotional Cancer Eclipse finds itself in your 11th House, the house of groups and friendships. You may find this energy as being restricted or be faced with pressure from others. With Venus now in your sign as well, you would do best to trust your actions are done with the best intentions. You may be the one that needs to take the lead in organizing a group experience if you want to spread your humanitarianism. At this time, you may find your interest in occult subjects are heightened as well and you can easily research the information you look for.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)- You might feel a struggle to make you place in the world with this Solar Eclipse in your 10th House of career success and status. If you're looking for power or fame, you need to realize it comes with price! Don't feel as though you are entitled to authority. Finding a balance between owning your power and when to give it over to someone else may key at this time. The ambition to succeed is there, be sure the reason you're working so hard is really what you want at the end result!

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)- This Solar Eclipse hits your 9th House of philosophy, higher education, traditions and spiritual matters. As Venus is in your 11th House, you may find yourself achieving the education you dreamed of, as the 11th House also shows our hopes and dreams! This also can be a time to travel (also 9th House) if your heart desires. This is not a time to be limiting of yourself or condescending, you'll need to keep an open mind. Use this time to find your inspiration and harness the energy to realize your highest hopes!

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)- As this Solar Eclipse finds itself in your 8th House, your house of shared resources, physical, psychological, spiritual and psychic evolution; you may experience this energy in many ways over the next couple of months! Your self esteem may find itself reborn, like the phoenix rising from the ashes! You feel things are at a turning point and you're ready to start doing things out of love rather than necessity! You are usually one that is honest and don't hold back what's on your mind. Stand true with what you feel and believe!

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)- You might find yourself looking at your relationships in a new light as the New Moon in Cancer is opposite your sign. This Eclipse finds itself in your 7th House of partnerships. You have been wanting emotional fulfillment and as Venus transits your 9th house, new ideas may weave their way into your life bringing you into contact with cultures you have been fascinated with. Perhaps learning a foreign language, or taking a meditation or yoga class will have you meeting those you would like to bring into your life! Now is a time to bring conscious expanding growth.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)- During this Eclipse, it'll hit your 6th House, house of health and daily routines. If things have been in a slump, it's time to see if the way you've been going about it is really the right way. You may be spreading yourself out a little too much! Try to find the focus you need as Venus finds itself in the transformative 8th House. Also, if you've had any health problems, now would be the time to address them. Establishing a routine for a healthy body and mind can be beneficial!

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)- This Eclipse finds you well and it lands in your 5th House, house of creativity, children and hobbies. There may end up being an emotional "block" that comes about, but it's more about the lesson that there's a time for play and a time when work needs to be done! This may further be enhanced by Venus in your 7th house. If you have children, take time to play games with them that you enjoyed.. or if your older, there's nothing wrong with a couple of beers for an adult game night either!


I hope the Eclipse's energy treats you well and helps open up experiences that will help us all along our way these next few months! If you have any questions regarding how the planets are affecting you personally, you can reach me at facebook or email!

Many Blessings!!

June 26th 2010 Full Moon Eclipse - Make it Count!

We're blessed with a Partial Lunar Eclipse on June 26th, 2010 at around 7:38am EST. This eclipse will be at 4-4½ degrees in Capricorn/Cancer with the moon conjunct Pluto. We can expect structural changes and truths to be revealed. This may also be due to the strength of the cardinal grand cross that is not fully finished yet. With this eclipse, those with prevalent cardinal influences in their chart, the signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn; in the early signs will experience these energies more strongly.

Women may be more strongly effected as well as we feel the moon's emotional pull to the sun's active response energy. Feelings may be difficult to understand properly. Though a feeling of achieving emotional stability will be heavily pursued as well!

The Full Moon is always a time of personal fulfillment and soon brings us through the cycle of exploring new thoughtfulness. With a Capricorn moon, we dig our heels into our goals to make the reality we want to achieve possible!!

During this time you may want to work on some personal goals! I am also available for performing spellwork at this time. If you would like a spell performed, you can contact me at my email or at facebook. Alternately, you may want to have an astrological chart done at this time too to see what sort of influences may be coming up for you in the next couple of months! Take a look at my services page!

At this time of the eclipse you may want to do a simple candle spell. Here is what you will need.

• 1 white candle, 1 black candle

• Piece of paper

• Green marker for financial matters

• Pink marker for love matters

• Blue marker for health/healing matters

• Black marker for emotional matters

• Orange marker for creativity/mind matters

• Purple marker for spirituality/psychic matters

• 1 sage stick (optional)

Light your black candle, and gaze at it for a moment or two. Then close your eyes and take a few deep breaths and think about all the things that are dragging you down, making you generally unhappy.. you know all the BLAH stuff! Take all of it and just put it in a big, ugly, black trash bag. Make sure it's ALL in there.. you don't want to leave anything behind!! Tie it up good and tight! You might even notice that it's trying to open back up, but don't let it. You don't need to let any of that stuff interfere anymore. Once you're sure you've put all your garbage in it's place. Take in one HUGE deep breath, hold it for 5 counts and then let it all out at once in a BIG "HAAAAAAA" sound. Now snuff out the candle and sit in the quiet stillness for a moment.

Light your white candle, and gaze at it for a moment or two again. If you have a sage stick, light it now and let the smoke swirl around you, cleansing your energy. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and think about all the things you are achieving in your life! See how easily what you are working towards comes to you without any struggle or strife! It is just so simple how you thought at first where things were troubling are now working out exactly how you had planned! Keep these pleasant thoughts going until you have worked your energy to an ecstatic feeling of happiness. Now you will want to write down your affirmations!

Here is one for love: I am creating the relationship I am meant to have! The more I appreciate the attention I receive from others, the more I will open myself up to the feelings of love!

Here is one for career: I am living the path I have made for myself! I will continue to work towards creating the contacts I want to create the prosperity I desire!

And one for health: I am treating my body as a living being. I will give it the care and nurturing that it needs to further make healthier choices in my life!

For emotional stability: I am allowing my emotions to become balanced. I will give options to myself for feeling situations in another way. I will remain calm in times of stress and be joyous of the times of relaxation!

For creativity: I am bursting with creative expression! I can't contain the emotions of electrifying energy that is flowing from every (... insert word for a writer, paint stroke for painters, seam and hem for seamstress, etc..)! My creations are a direct expression of my love for life!

Take a few moments after you are done writing your affirmations and really AFFIRM them! Say them aloud a few times until the sound of your voice is reverberating within. You will know when you truly are feeling the magick being made! Once you are done, extinguish your white candle. Take the black one and bury it or put it in a trashcan outside. Do NOT leave it in your house! The white one you can light at any time during the next few weeks to further "up" your manifesting.

I wish you a happy Full Moon Eclipse!!!
Many Blessings!!!
