Capricorn Blessing Moon

 
 

Magic is afoot! This Capricorn Full Blessing Moon 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. It's time for passionate celebration and activation!

This Full Moon glow brings a tangible and grounded expansion to our personal growth, sovereignty, abundance, prosperity, relationships, inner wisdom and our capacity to feel and experience love in the body as medicine.

It's time to take stock of all of that we can be grateful for, for all the blessings and abundance already present, as well as what emotional and earthly needs/desires have not been met, and to initiate new ways to getting these met with creativity, support and grace. 

Also, in Vedic and Hindu Tradition, it is Guru Purnima! The special Full Moon, one a year, is a time of honouring those that have been and are, our teachers. This moon is dedicated to those who have illuminated us in some way, who have taught us and guided us, and who have shown us more of who we truly are and why we are here. 

It is time to celebrate the gift of this body here on earth, to nourish ourselves and give thanks for the opportunity to experience this gift of Life. 


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

  • Earth Connection: Walk on the earth with bare feet. Imagine roots growing down from your feet or your womb space to the womb of Mother Gaia. Feel this an anchoring rod of light connecting you to the Earth and welcome in the magic of the Moon descend down from above you as you continue to send the energy deep into the earth to ground your dreams and affirmation and keep your body temple feeling supported and nourished.
  • Guru Purnima Gratitude Blessing: Throughout the day and night continually say out loud what you are grateful for from the people in your life you consider are your teachers, those you have learned from, who have empowered you and. If it's a person, reach out and tell them in a message or a phone call. If they are animals or angels or guides in the unseen realms, speak your gratitude out loud, or sing or write it down.
  • 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 powerfultime 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.

Blessed Solstice & Full Moon in Sagittarius

 
 

Did you know that this Solstice aligned with the Full Moon is a rare event in the Skies that hasn't happened in 70 years? Amazing, right!?! Auspiciously, this is also the second Sagittarius full moon in a row. We are in 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). 

In the northern hemisphere, we celebrate the longest hours of daylight as those of us in the southern hemisphere celebrate the longest hours of darkness. United, we hold the both the light and the dark and the full spectrum in between. 

We can celebrate the potent Solstice energy as we embrace the Wild Sacred Light within all Beings and Honour the love that shines in our own selves. At this time of Illumination, may we remember that our inner fires allows us to move through any fears that keep us from our truth. 

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 is 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 practice 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.

Sagittarius Flower Moon

Making clear and honest choices and action towards your greatest dreams and visions is illuminated in this full moon. The blue flame of the Sagittarius invites us into deeper Presence within, so that we can explore important paths/options/choices to support our life path from our intuitive guidance and body wisdom, rather than solely from the logical mind. It is a potent time to focus on celebrating the paths you have chosen, and give thanks for all the blessings already alive in the form of action.

Just as a flower blooms, in this Flowering Moon, you can take action by honouring yourself for all the ways in which you are already expanding and growing. Self-Love Rituals to nourish the body and mind are especially powerful. This is a time where a new version of the 'bigger picture' of your life may emerge and you may experience revelations to weave and connect the dots in the mythical sense for the path you walk.

Give any your limiting beliefs and fears to the Fire (either by building one, or with candles).

Then welcome in and all the feelings inside of you that make you feel WONDERFUL and move in that direction. Literally.

Planting Moon Scorpio Beltane

Traditionally, Beltane is a Celtic fire festival, half way between Equinox and Solstice, in celebration of fertility, the rites of passion and the waking of Mother Earth from winter's slumber into the blossoming of Spring. Thus, this full moon is known as the Planting 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 'fiery' watery depths of ourselves, to know, but mostly to feel what our truest desires are. You are being called to set yourself aflame, with the translucent light of the moon, to spark the passion that lives within you and release any beliefs and programming (whether from society, religion, or self etc) that keep you from FEELING your pleasure and passion and LIVING your fullest potentials.

Now is the time when our deepest fears can come to light, to see them and transform them. This week, welcome in 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.

  • 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.

Libra Seed Moon Eclipse

 

BLESSED WORLD WATER DAY!

Today, March 22, is THE FINAL DAY to join our Goddess Rising Sisterhood with the WaterBearers.org to get water filters to people in need of clean water! Please support this campaign in any way you can TODAY!

 

And Now For The Lunar Eclipse Download...

The Penumbra Lunar Eclipse takes place at 4:48am PST in 4 degrees Libra. During this potent eclipse portal, we become illuminated to the light and shadow qualities within our relationships. The relationship we have to ourselves, to each other, our beloveds, family, community, the Earth and all her creations. 

Our energetic and emotional bodies become sensitive and are heightened with deep wisdom when we pay attention. And Moonlovers, it's time to pay attention! This Eclipse is a significant gateway for healing, transformation, and shifting with empowering endings and fresh beginnings in regards to relationship, how we relate & connect, and how we create beauty, balance, justice and harmony in our inner and outer worlds.

Feel into the connection you have with yourself, with your dreams, to your global family, to the Earth. What are you grateful for in these relationships? What lessons and insights do you bring with you from last season into this next cycle? What needs to be eclipsed, composted, shifted, transformed? 

Consider how you can support yourself to navigate through this deeply powerful celestial terrain to feel centered and balanced... How can you bring beauty to all situations and relationships? How can you accept and integrate both the light and the dark? 

 

SEED 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, Ostara, Minerva, Luna, Artemis
Medicine: Burst of new energy, Growing, Exploring, Learning, Inner child work, New beginnings, Balance of light and dark, Ostara, Spring Equinox

 

ECLIPSE RITUAL SUGGESTIONS

  • Cleanse:  Whether you are moving from Winter to Spring in the Northern Hemisphere or from Summer to Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, the Equinox can be the best time of year for a cleanse to support healthy transitions. 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. 
  • Journal Power: Write in your journal all that you are releasing from last season and all the lessons and insight that you can bring with you into the next season. Write out all that you are greatful for and what qualities you would like to embody for the next quarter of the year. Place this out into the moonlight/speak it/sing it after just after the eclipse happens.
  • Burn It Baby: From the journaling above, you can write a list of all that you wish to release. Free it up. Give it voice. Say it out loud. Let it out! Let it go and burn it during the eclipse!
  • 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.
  • 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).
