Lunar Samhain New Moon in Scorpio

This Dark Moon of November 11th, Lunar Samhain, can be considered 'The Real Hallow's Eve', and is the cross-quarter Holy Day on The Wheel of the Year, half way between Equinox and Solstice. 

The Scorpio theme for the next moon cycle is about connecting with our passions and emotions that lie in the deep watery realms within our womb space and dream space and to FEEL them. To listen to them. Acknowlege them. Celebrate them. It is a time to dive into our subconscious and affirm our courage to step into the mystery, into the unknown.
 

Lunar Samhain Rituals

1) Take Off The Mask:  Feel into any ways that you may be inauthentic with yourself and any masks that you may be wearing that aren't serving the essence of who you are. Draw or paint these out or write them down and then lay to rest any of the false faces that you may be wearing. In this way, the more you peel away the masks that aren't you, the more you can rise into the truth of who you are, right now, and emerge more fully as your radiant self.

2) Honour Your Ancestors:  Write down all the things you are grateful for about your lineage. The gifts you have received. The lessons you have learned. Perhaps you may wish to create an altar for your ancestors.. In your unique way, create the space to offer gratitude to those that came before you and acknowledge them for the wisdom that now flows through you.

3) Fire Release Ritual:  You may also wish to connect with the parts of your lineage that may be less than joy filled. If you desire, you can get in touch with the part of you that feels feels angry, sad, frustrated and confused about what your blood line or lineage has passed down to you and offer this into the fires of transmutation (by literally building a fire or safely using a candle). You can write these down or say them out loud, or both. Then, move your body and make any desired sounds to finalize the release. When complete, you can offer any authentic words of forgiveness, empathy and realizations.

4) Empty The Mind. Feel Into Your Dreams:  Give yourself the gift of moving from your head to your heart. It's an auspicious time to FEEL your dreams. Your goals. Your desires. Scorpio is all about feeling. Bring any visuals or ideas about what you'd like to experience for your life into the visceral experience of your body. In this way, you are sending out messages to the universe to magnify these experiences into your life. Take some time to literally experience how your desires and dreams FEEL in your body. This is truly the magick of creating your life

Harvest Blood Moon Eclipse

This phenomenal cosmic occurrence will take place in the skies on Sunday Sept 27th at 7:48pm PST.  Regardless if you can see it or not, it is possible that you can feel the eclipse from within. If you aren’t already.

Eclipses signify shift, transition, working/playing with both the light and the dark, the seen and unseen, and simultaneous endings and beginnings. In this seasonal change, we are in a portal of transformation that can catalyze a significant frequency shift with how you experience your relationship to consciousness, to the unknown, to Great Spirit/God/Goddess, to other’s and to yourself.

With the lunar eclipse in Aries and the Sun in Libra, now is an auspicious opportunity to release excess baggage on all levels and initiate the shift needed to live your dreams and desires. With gratitude for all the lessons and gifts from the past season, it is now time to ignite the inner flames of your wild heart’s passion, strength, determination, commitment, ambition and your soul’s beauty. Now is the window to break any chains of illusion, burn unsupportive beliefs, spark the remembrance of your truth and rise into new dimensions of trust, creativity, expression, harmonious relations, sovereignty, empowerment and love.

(Important side note. Since Mercury is retrograde, your internal dialogue, feelings, emotions and your communication of them may feel like trying to understand and speak a foreign language. It’s okay… We are collectively shifting our consciousness and thus creating new pathways for communicating).

Take extra good care of yourself right now. As mental, emotional, physical and spiritual shifts are being stimulated, it is important to stay centered. Keep your immune system up, stay hydrated, nourish your nervous system, get a lot of rest, be on the earth, be in water, slow down, do less, listen and be open to the magic that is afoot.

Harvest Moon Attributes

• Astrology: Libra Sun, Artist's Moon
• Tarot: Strength
• Herbs: Copal, Fennel, Wheat, Valerian
• Colors: Brown, Yellow-Green, Yellow
• Stones: Citrine, Peridot, Tiger’s Eye, Olivine, Amethyst
• Animals: Snake, Jackal, Sparrow
• Goddesses:  Ceres, Isis, Freya
• Medicine: Rest after labor, Mabon, Autumn Equinox, Balance of light & dark, Organize, Clean out Mental/Physical/Emotional/Spiritual Clutter

Eclipse Ritual Suggestions

• Cleanse:  Whether you are moving from Winter to Spring in the Southern Hemisphere or from Summer to Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, the Equinox can be the best time of year for a cleanse. When we cleanse the body, we also cleanse out the mind and release baggage and beliefs that are of dis-ease. If you choose to cleanse this season, be wise about what one choose. Do your homework. Investigate & get support. Grab a beloved or join a group cleanse. 
• Make Space: Time to go through your cupboards, closet, garage etc... and let go of the excess. Spaciousness feels so good and you open yourself up to more internal power and creative life-force.
• Be Still: With so much frequency shift happening now, simply closing your eyes to pay attention to your breath to pause for 5 minutes will do wonders for your nervous system (especially if you can do this 3 times a day, and longer than 5 if possible. Do what you can). Make sure to get a long and full sleep.
• Tea Medicine: Drinking Tulsi & Gotu Kola herbal tea will soothe your nerves and calm your spirit. This also allows you to open up to magical and bountiful blessings being offered. 
• Burn It Baby: Write a list of the mental baggage that is happening inside that mind of yours. Free it up. Give it voice. Let it out! Let it go and burn it during the eclipse!
• Get Creative: Make a vision board or a painting or dance or write in your journal all that you are bringing with you into the next season ahead. Place this out into the moonlight/speak it/sing it after just after the eclipse happens.
• Wear a Head Covering: During these eclipsing time, so much energy is swirling around. Wear a hat, tuque, wrap or creative head covering to avoid leaking out all your precious subtle energy and keep it inside.
• Gem Stone Reminder: 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. 

With Lunar Love, Achintya

Pisces Corn Moon & Empress Ritual

Art by Tanzer Dragon

This Super Corn Moon in Pisces brings forth an opportunity to revere every stage of life and practice great acceptance of the creation cycle. It's time to reap and harvest the lessons, gifts and reflections from this year as the seasons begin to hint at change. It is also time to 'clean house' both internally and externally and release any excesses not needed.

Corn Moon is honoured as foundational sustenance provided by Mother Earth and is mirrored as the Empress, she who understands the cycle of all life. The Empress knows that to fully experience and appreciate the gift of living, we must experience its entirety, from all facets. Both Pisces and The Empress show us that we must be open and ready to accept all feelings and emotions that may arise from the depths our soul; happiness, joy, love, pain, anger, loss and sadness, and remind us to deny none of them. What is born and created will eventually die and so we must make the most of each magical moment.

So many of us are relearning the power of our emotions and how they are really the map and fuel to our deepest healing and empowerment. This is a shift for many of us. And it is a powerful one. The more we root into the depths of presence and feeling within our bodies, no matter how challenging or joy-filled, the more we are able to access our deepest power, truth and love. The more we are able tap into magic, heal, make life affirming choices and live in sovereignty. The more we are able to nurture and serve our families, friendships and global community from a place of deep compassion and acceptance.

This Super Moon brings us deep into our intuition and guides us to step into the fluid and mystical world of symbolic language, dream like states of wonder and infinite possibilities. Pay close attention to your dreams this weekend and carve our some space to step into mystical ritual (see below). Magic is afoot and the signs are everywhere. Blessed Be.

Attributes

• Tarot: The Empress
• Herbs: Chamomile, St. John’s wort, Fennel, Rue
• Colors: Yellow, Gold
• Stones: Tiger's Eye, Carnelian, Red Jasper,  
• Animals: Lioness, Phoenix, Hawk
• Goddesses: Gaia, Demeter, Corn Mother
• Medicine: Gathering, Gratitude, Health & Wellness, Friendships, Bounty, Motherhood

 

Ritual Suggestions

• Give Thanks & Release:  List all the things you are grateful for in your life from this year and place this in the moonlight (outside or window) to attract more experiences to be grateful for. Write down all the things you are ready to release and either bury them, burn them or offer them to a body of water.
• Dream Speak: Pay close attention to your dreams this weekend. Record them in a journal and speak them out loud. Only by writing them down or speaking them will the sometimes subtle (or not so subtle) meaning and message be revealed to you.
• Moon Bathe: Get into the magic of the moonlight and absorb her luminous, activating, soul stirring and healing balm. Look to the moon and speak the visions that you see for yourself and for the planet.
• 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).

Blue Moon: Rising In Possibility

We are living on the continuum of time and space where unprecedented shifts can and are happening in our lives and in our consciousness. This Aquarian Blue Moon energy happening NOW offers a unique portal of grounding our desires and dreams to the earth, so that we can live them. We are becoming adept to what is and what is not working in our lives and getting more clear as to what we truly want and need in our lives, specifically related to the relationships of the heart (Venus retrograde). As we come closer to our heart knowing, shedding away what no longer serves us is very much on the front burner. Thus, this can also be a time of the crumbling tower, a time to release frustrations, hurts, anger etc... through a healthy pathway and then attune to the frequencies of trust, desire, possibility, service and love. When we align our selves to these frequencies, we can be empowered to make clear choices and experience peace and contentment, even when the storms may be intense.

This Full Moon also marks Lughnasadh and Guru Purnima.

Lughnasadh is the Celtic Holy Day, half way between Solstice and Equinox. This is a festival time dedicated to gathering together and celebrating all that we are grateful for in a myriad of ways.

Guru Purnima is the special day that happens once a year to honour our Gurus, our teachers, those that illuminate the light from the dark and bring truth from untruth. 

Blue Moon Attributes

•  Tarot: The Tower
• Colors: Blue, Indigo, White, Silver
• Stones: Spirit quartz, Aqua Aura quartz
• Animals: Dolphin, Raven, Unicorn, Owl
• Goddesses: Oya, Nuit
• Medicine: Spontaneity, Sudden changes, Soul Connection, New & Rare Opportunity, Awakening

 

Ritual Suggestions

• Speak Truth for Release & Renewal: Write down any current negative thoughts and beliefs you have about yourself, others and life. When you feel ready to let them go, shred up the paper and either bury or burn it. Then write down your true/positive beliefs about yourself, others and life and your visions for your life/ for the planet, in present and first person. Example “I am living in gratitude and celebration for my amazing home space and life partner.... I am…. “ Place this paper under the moon to magnify your dreams, visions and truth. Add crystals and symbols to represent your written words.
• Moon Bathe: Get into the magic of the moonlight and absorb her luminous, activating, soul stirring and healing balm. Look to the moon and speak the visions that you see for yourself and for the planet.
• 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.

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.
