Capricorn Blessing Moon

---

This full moon in Capricorn (along with major celestial alignments) has our deepest desires illuminated and we are asked to ground them to the earth, so that we can live them now, for the benefit of our own lives, and for the planet. There is no more waiting around. It's time for passionate activation.

---

Along with the Full Moon, a truly phenomenal dance is taking place in the sky with Jupiter and Venus (I hope you have been looking to the western sky to see) and this Full Moon glow brings the fullness of their astrological medicine to us; the expansion of our own growth & abundance, of our wisdom and our capacity to feel and experience love. 

A few other important dances in the sky important to note are Mars and Sun in Cancer and Pluto aligned with the Moon in Capricorn. This is the call to action to step into our own inner authority, empowerment and responsibility for what we are creating and grounding in to our lives. It is time to take ownership of our inner power and direct it with awareness. We are also asked us to take stock of what emotional needs/desires have not been met and to initiate new ways to getting these met with creativity, swiftness and grace.

Blessing Moon Attributes

• Tarot: The Emperor
• Herbs: Honeysuckle, Lemon Balm, Jasmine
• Colors: Green, Ocean Blues, Coral
• Stones: Ocean Jasper, Lepidolite, Aquamarine
• Animals: Crab, Turtle, Dolphin, Whale
• Goddesses: Juno, Hera, Sulis, Nephthys
• Medicine: Peak of Summer; Relaxed energy; Preparation; Dream-work; Lughnasa

Ritual Suggestions

• Take Stock & Take Action: In your journal, write down 1-3 emotional needs and desires that are not being met. Then list why this is so. Make sure you turn the answer inward and don't point the finger to the outside or at someone else. This is powerful. Take your time with this one. There may be massive insight and healing in this alone. Then for each need/desire, write down one way you can activate these to come into fruition. Make a commitment to apply at least one of these in the next 72 hours. And the other ones within this lunar cycle. 
• Creative Activation: Take a piece of paper and list 5-10 desires you have. Place this sacred paper under the moonlight (either outside or by a window). Create an altar with this by adding symbols (of things you already have/cuttings from a magazine/ pieces of nature) that represent these desires. Get creative. Then burn sage or incense around you to purify yourself and symbolically remove any ways of being that prevent you from experiencing these desires (insight from first ritual may come into play here). Sing or chant any mantras or songs that you feel connected to, to bring these soul desires to life! 
• Remember: Put out your gem stones and jewels in a window or in water for cleansing, renewal and activation. Place an apple and glass of water in the moonlight and have it for a 'Moon Wisdom' breakfast the next morning.
• Commune: Gather in an intentional way with loved ones and do any of the above together and create your own. Now can be a powerful  time to be with the energy of the collective. (See invitation below).

Full Moon rituals can be done the day before, of and after the actual full moon. This is the 3 day potency period. Blessings to you in this wondrous and magical time.

Sagittarius Honey Full Moon

---

This Sagittarius full moon comes at a time of significant transition for the collective as we feel into our deepest dreams and ideals (the target), by activating our devotional embodiment practices (the arrow), held with the wisdom and truth in our hearts (the bow). 

Making clear and honest choices towards our greatest dreams is highlighted right now. The blue flame of the Sag moon invites us into deeper Presence, so that we can explore important paths/options/choices to support our direction from our bodies intuitive guidance, rather than solely from the logical mind.  

This is also a time of celebration for all that is ripe in your life, whether this be related to an attitude of gratitude, completing a job well done or for embodying uplifting qualities, symbolized by the Honey Moon. Therefore, it is important to reward or honour yourself in some way and remain in a state of contentment. Go on and celebrate yourself and this amazing life!

 

Honey Moon Attributes

• Tarot: The Moon
• Herbs: Meadowsweet, Vervain, Parsley, Skullcap
• Colors: Orange, Golden-green
• Stones: Topaz, Agate, Fluorite, Pearl
• Animals: Honey Bee, Butterfly, Frog, Peacock
• Goddesses: Butterfly Maiden, Cerridwen, Ishtar
• Medicine: Contentment, Litha: Summer Solstice, Time of Light, Choices / Decision Making, Strengthen and reward positive qualities of oneself

 

Ritual Suggestions

• Gratitude Speak: Speak aloud to the Full Moon, or write in your journal 11 things you are great-full for. If writing, place in the moonlight overnight. This practices brings to light more experiences for you to be great-full for. 
• Honey Medicine: Eat a spoonful of honey in the moonlight, taste the sweetness of all of your life's blessings and recent accomplishments while feeling into trust, that all be provided for, for your life's dreams.
• Devotional Heart : How does your heart want to be expressed/nurtured at this time? What embodiment practices inspire you right now? Dance, yoga, walking, chi gong, archery? Activities that bring you out of your mind and into your body are where it's at when done with the intention of celebrating and honouring yourself and your growing dreams. Trying doing them in the moonlight.
• Elemental Nourishment: Sag Moon is an ideal time for you to get in the Natural World and the Elements. Visit your favorite tree, park, river, ocean or lake etc... Let the wild and sacred medicine of nature seep into your body and your breath. Let the mind go and rest into Earth and practice the art of spaciousness by simply Being. 
• Remember: Put out your gem stones and jewels in a window or in water for cleansing, renewal and activation. Place an apple and glass of water in the moonlight and have it for a 'Moon Wisdom' breakfast the next morning.
• Commune: Gather in an intentional way with loved ones and do any of the above together and create your own. Now can be a powerful  time to be with the energy of the collective.

Flower Moon Scorpio Beltane

---

Traditionally, Beltane is a Celtic fire festival in celebration of fertility, passion and the waking of Mother Earth from winter's slumber into the blossoming of Spring. Thus, this is known as the Flower Moon and is an invitation for you to also blossom into the fullness of your passion and pleasure.

---

With the moon in Scorpio, we are navigating through the watery depths of ourselves, to know, but mostly to feel what our truest desires are. You are being called to investigate yourself with the translucent light of the moon and set free any surfacing conditions that keep you chained to beliefs and programming (whether from society, religion, or self etc) that keep you from FEELING amazing and LIVING your purpose and your gifts.

Now is the time when are deepest fears can come to light so that we can see them and transform them. This weekend, welcome these fears if they surface, and embrace them. See them for what they are, and set yourself free by jumping through the fires of your desires and dance in celebration of your heart truth. Make love to life (however you may choose) with passion and pleasure and embody the essence of your feminine power.

Flower Moon Attributes

• Tarot: The Lovers
• Herbs: Elder, Mint, Rose, Mugwort, Thyme
• Colors: Green, Brown, Pink
• Stones: Emerald, Malachite, Amber, Carnelian, Moonstone
• Animals: Cats, Lynx, Leopard, Swan, Dove
• Goddesses: Maia, Venus, Aphrodite, Artemis, Bast
• Moon Medicine: Creation, Love, Intuition, Divine Connection, Connection with Nature, Sexuality, Sensuality Beltane

Ritual Suggestions

• Make Love to Life: Whether this means literally making love with intentional celebration of your creative forces and pleasure, or metaphorically, this is time to put your hearts desires into motion. Dance. Paint. Sing. Play music. Weave. Craft.
• Release With Mother Earth: Get into Nature. Take off your shoes. Breathe in the air and remember that your cycles mimic Hers. Give your limiting beliefs and fears to the Earth with movement and voice, write them down and burn them. Welcome in transformation and all the feelings inside of you that make you feel GOOD! Move in that direction.
• Sacred Elixir Making: Traditionally Beltane is celebrated with Mead, a honey wine, representing the nectar of the heart. You can drink this or create your own rendition of a Beltane Elixir. Combine cold mint/ rose/tulsi tea with honey and bubbly water and you've got a simple and delicious elixir. Place it in Full Moon light and drink in all that you are great-full for. Let is wash away your limiting beliefs and fears as you sip in the celebration of your feminine essence and being ALIVE.
• Handfasting: This is a form of marriage unto a beloved with a commitment of one year. Every year the vows are then renewed, or not. Take some ribbon or string or a bracelet that you already have, and infuse it with your commitment to yourself this year. Make a marriage, a commitment unto yourself to living your desire, your passion, your truth.
• Remember: Put out your gem stones and jewels in a window or in water for cleansing, renewal and activation. Place an apple and glass of water in the moonlight and have it for a 'Moon Wisdom' breakfast the next morning.
• Commune: Gather in an intentional way with loved ones and do any of the above together and create your own. Now can be a powerful  time to be with the energy of the collective.

We are in POWERFUL full moon eclipse energy. The moon medicine and opportunity now is nothing less than radical soul awakening. If we choose it. The portal is already open beloveds and this eclipse is a gateway for us to ignite (Aries) deeply feeling love (Libra) as the core of who we are and shed any fears that may have kept us feeling safe, but small. It is now time to tune in to the seemingly strange occurrences taking place. This BLOOD MOON is shaking our foundation loose of any falsity in our lives, from within our blood lines... our very DNA, to return again to our center, to our true power and strength. This is deep, potent, medicine. In this is time of great polarity; Sun/Moon, Mars/Venus, Aries/Libra, we are being catapulted into new landscapes within our awareness and being called to remember that Great Spirit/God/Goddess dwells inside of us. We are being summoned from our core to rise together in wisdom, truth and love for radical soul awakening. My this also be in dedication for our ancestors and for all future generations in front of us. Yes!

What is shaking loose within me?  What does my soul/heart need right now?

FOOL'S MOON: Reclaim Self Sovereignty

---

Image of Achintya Devi by Logan Jiva

---

With the Full Moon in Virgo (Divine Feminine and the 'Virgin'), we are called to Self Sovereignty. The word 'virgin' originally meant "whole unto oneself". What does it mean to be sovereign unto oneself? How can we be in our full power in a healthy way? At this full moon, we are asked to explore with childlike curiosity all the ways in which we seek to blame/control others and thus give our power away. We are asked to reclaim our power by taking responsibility for our actions, thoughts and spoken words. At this time, we are summoned to the paradigm of choice, creation and accountability. Step forth, dear one, to ask for what you need, express your heart with gratitude and celebrate the truth and power of your innocence, generosity, compassion and love. Now is the time to create your human experience from a grounded place of humility, focused intention, service and beauty. This is our Moon Medicine.

FOOL'S MOON ATTRIBUTES

Tarot: The Fool
Herbs: Broom, Yellow dock, Irish moss
Colors: Pale/Light Green, Red-violet
Stones: Aquamarine, Bloodstone, Fluorite
Animals: Cougar, Hedgehog, Boar
Goddesses: Astarte,  Minerva, Luna, Artemis
Medicine: Burst of new energy, Growing, Exploring, Learning, Inner child work, New beginnings, Balance of light and dark, Ostara, Spring Equinox

RITUAL SUGGESTIONS

• Reclaim Self Sovereignty: Let's get real. In your journal, write down out all the ways that you are currently blaming outside circumstances or people for your own discomfort or unhappiness. Take personal accountability by writing down all the choices, attitudes and actions (including non-action) that is keeping you from living your full potential. Write down all that you are ready to release and all that you are calling forth for your present life to move forward aligned to your heart desires and to get your own needs met. Commit to two action steps to make this real for yourself. Now then, get to it. Welcome to Self Sovereignty.

• Speak In First Person: Practice speaking from your own personal experience, beginning with 'I', instead of saying 'you'. Example: Instead of saying, "When you went into the ocean, you could hear the whales," you would say, "When I went into the ocean, I could hear the whales." This draws energy back into yourself, creates more power in your speech and opens clarity in your body intelligence.

• Embrace The Heart: This can be a very intense part of the lunar cycle. Be patient with all the emotions you are feeling at this time. Breathe into them. Give them a safe resting place and a healthy funnel of expression. Be gentle with yourself. Then proceed to the following.
• Return To Pleasure: Consciously breathe self-love into areas of your body that may be tender, in pain or need more energy. Practice random acts of kindness to yourself in ways that feel nourishing to your senses of sound, sight, smell, taste and touch. Delight in this as medicine for your soul. You so deserve it.
• Remember: Put out your gem stones and jewels in a window or in water for cleansing, renewal and activation. Place an apple and glass of water in the moonlight and have it for a 'Moon Wisdom' breakfast the next morning.
• Commune: Gather in an intentional way with loved ones and do any of the above together and create your own. Now is a time to be with the energy of the collective.

Full Moon rituals can be done the day before, of and after the actual full moon. This is the 3 day potency period. Blessings to you in this wondrous and magical time.
