Pisces Full Moon Eclipse

 
 

With this full moon and lunar eclipse in Pisces, the final sign of the zodiac, we are able to reap the the joys, lessons, insight and experience from all the previous signs and implement their teachings by seeing through the lens of the ‘being in many worlds at once’. Looking at the symbol for Pisces, with one fish swimming downstream and another swimming upstream, we can see this as an invitation to enter into the power of experiencing life beyond duality by incorporating both the inner and the outer realms, the light and the dark, the highs and the lows, the up and the down, and synthesize the wisdom of polarity, (like 2 magnets coming together in their opposite nature) and the alchemy of fire and water with celebration.

Sister, you are a daughter of the infinite Goddess. Your presence here now invites the awakening of and reclamation of all of you. Your shadow, light and, the rainbow spectrum in between them both. With the Moon is in Pisces, you are asked to rise in taking authentic action with your intuition and gut wisdom. To harness the power of your inner guidance to direct you on your path. 

Since this Full Moon is also an eclipse, it is a powerful time for purging, letting go of physical things, mental baggage, and beliefs that hold you back. It may feel like a pulling in both directions and the keys to staying in your power are to be fully present as much as possible to your own physical body’s needs while engaging in the world. Drink lots of waters. Get into WATER. Be in the NATURE. Be present with your breath and the rhythm of your sleep patterns. Rest and exercise. Meditate. Take care to be in stillness in the mornings to recall your dreams, deep insight is there for you. Breath deeply and check in with your inner voice when needing to make major choices. Accept. Surrender. Release. Celebrate.
 

Ritual Suggestions

  • Give Thanks & Release:  List all the things you are grateful for in your life from this year so far 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, change or shift and either bury them, burn them or offer them to a body of water.
  • Dream Speak: Pay close attention to your dreams tonight and through the 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.
  • 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.
  • Moon Bathe: Get into the magic of the moonlight after the eclipse and absorb her luminous, activating, soul-stirring and healing balm. Look to the moon and speak the visions and dreams 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.

With Lunar Love, Achintya

Corn Moon in Aquarius

                  Art by John William Waterhouse

                  Art by John William Waterhouse

The visionary Aquarian Corn 'Empress' Moon coupled with the last rays of this Leo Sun offer a unique window of 'shining' and offering our desires and dreams, to be seen and witnessed, so that we can embody them more fully in devotion to the planet. We are becoming adept to what is and what is not working in our lives through the lens of how we contribute to the world. 

Collectively, we are getting clear as to what we truly want and need in our lives, specifically related to how we offer our dharma and creative gifts as service, as a 'Water Bearer'. As we come closer to our heart truth knowing, we shed away what no longer serves us. Thus, this can also be a time to time to release frustrations, hurts, comparison, anger, doubt, negative self-talk,  etc... and then attune to the frequencies of trust, desire, possibility, service and love. When we align ourselves to these frequencies, we empower ourselves to make clear choices and experience peace and contentment, even when the storms may be intense.

This is also the time of the Corn Moon, as named by some Native America tribes, and is honoured as foundational sustenance provided by Mother Earth. The corn moon 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 spectrums. Both Aquarius and the Empress show us that we must be open and ready to accept all responsibility that comes with the precious visions we receive and how we implement them.  

 

Corn Moon 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

  • Water Bearer Gratitude:  List all the things you are grateful for in your life from this year in how you serve and share your gifts (truly acknowledge yourself), place this in the moonlight (outside or window) to attract more experiences to be grateful for. Then, write down all the things you are ready to release and either burn them or offer them to a body of water.
  • Empress Dance: Put on music you love and offer your heart through dance in devotion to how you wish to serve and express your gifts in the world.
  • Dream Speak: Pay close attention to your dreams and visions in the full moon. 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.
  • Water Bearer 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.
  • Gem Stone Activation Meditation: Place any of the above gemstones (after they have been charged in the moonlight) or ones you are currently working with, on your brow point/third eye either during the full moon or in the sun light to activate your visionary center of intuition and receive the messages that you are ready for. Breathe fully and deeply as you lie down and relax. 
  • Journal Questions: What is an Empress? How does she serve? How can I embody the Archetype of Empress in my own life? What is a Water Bearer? How am I that? What am I ready to release so that I can serve more fully on my dharmic path? What gifts am I ready to shine?
  • 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 'Visionary Water Bearer' 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.

 

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

 
 

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.

 
 

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.
  • Vision Board: Take action to bring all your sacred visions to form with a vision board and place it under the moon light for blessed activation.
  • Fire Moon Ritual: Get into Nature. Take off your shoes. Breathe in the air and remember that your cycles mimic Hers. Give any your limiting beliefs and fears to the Fire (either by building one, or with candles). With movement and voice, write them down and burn them. This is an act of purification and activation and a releasing of any heavy weight or burdens you may be carrying. Then welcome in and all the feelings inside of you that make you feel WONDERFUL and move in that direction. Literally. 
  • Moon Elixir: Combine mint/rose/tulsi/hibiscus/cinnamon tea with honey and you've got a simple and delicious fiery elixir. Place it in Full Moon light (you can even add a quartz crystal into your cup for added magic), drink in all that you are great-full for and sip in celebration of your feminine lunar essence.
  • 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.

 

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.
