SOLSTICE BLESSINGS

Blessed Solstice! The Sun moves into Cancer at 8:32 pm PDT on June 20th to open this powerful Solar Gate.

We are also honouring Juneteenth, a national holiday in the US, commemorating the end of slavery! Blessed Emanicipation Day!!

Solstice comes from the Latin term solstitium, “meaning sun stands still”, as it appears to do just that for a few days. In the northern hemisphere, we celebrate Summer Solstice with the longest hours of daylight and the sun at its highest point, while those of us in the southern hemisphere celebrate Winter Solstice with the longest hours of darkness and the sun at its lowest point. United, we hold the both the light and the dark and the full spectrum in between.

The Solstice portal is open 3 days before and after this Holy Sabbat of purification, exaltation and celebration.

Honour the potent Solstice energy with joy as we embrace the Wild Sacred Light of the Sun itself, the Light within all Beings and the Love that shines within us, that is who we truly are. This is also a time for you to celebrate 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 empowering qualities.

In this 26,000 cycle turning of the Ages, the Solstice Cancer Sun has been rising at the intersection of where the Ecliptic (plane of the solar system) crosses the Milky Way (plane of the galaxy) in the middle of what is called the Sacred Hoop of Stars (Rigel, Capella, the Pleiades, Sirius, Pollux, Castor,and Procyon) since 1962 and will continue to until 2030. This is also known as the Silver or Cancer Gate where souls pass through to incarnate, signifying a great shift in our human consciousness.

Just hours before the exact time of Solstice (Sun entering Cancer) Jupiter stations retrograde for four months in a trine with the sun and the moon that brings forth great abundance and good fortune.

During this Solstice portal, welcome the Sun’s rays to penetrate your every cell, for indeed you are being asked to hold the Mantle of Truth, Wisdom and Love as a multi-dimensional being. One is who is made of Star Dust and Sun Light.

At this time of Illumination, may you remember that your inner fires are here to support you in moving through any fears that keep you from your truth. You are being ushered into the next activation of your incarnation as both spirit and matter, which is the power and Blessing of Light itself. Orientate yourself towards the Sun to make clear and honest choices about your greatest dreams, to shed limited beliefs and unworthiness, and bask in the magnificence of these powerful Light Codes.

Blessed Be for all that is being illuminated and amplified at this Holy time of Embodied Awakening!

Summer Solstice Ritual Suggestions

Honey Medicine: Eat a spoonful of golden honey in the sunlight, 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.
Elemental Fire Divination: Sunbathe, create a bonfire or light candles in you home to activate the wild and sacred medicine of Fire / the Sun and let the warmth of the rays and flames seep into your cells. Let the mind go and gaze into light to receive guidance and messaged available only at this time.
Solar Water: Place water in the Solstice Sun and let the solar codes infuse it for 20 minutes to 2 hours. Then drink in with celebration and honour. You may wish to keep in the fridge for a few days to come to keep ingesting this powerful solar elixir of nourishment.
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.

Blessed Be! Love, Achintya

Sagittarius Super Blood Moon Eclipse

This Full Moon in Sagittarius takes place on May 26th at 4:14 am PDT and the total lunar eclipse is at 4:18 am PDT. The duration is 14 minutes. It will be visible from Southeast Asia, Australia, the Pacific and the Americas.

This Sagittarius Super Blood Moon eclipse is a significant transition for the collective. Dreams, aspirations, intentions and goals that have been built on a foundation of falsity or distortion are dissolving. This may feel intense. And, it is. This is a purification portal. This great eclipse of the moon, caused by the Earth’s shadow, is here to catalyze an illumination and then a release of all the ways we have governed our lives from a place of fear or restriction to initiate a new foundation rooted in trust, wisdom, freedom and love.

The Full Moon is also conjunct Antares.

Antares is a Magickal Behenian Star and 1 of the 4 Royal Stars linked to Archangel Uriel, to Auset / Isis & Selket. This Heart Star brings a harmonious lunar conjunction, assisting us to create powerful Magick & make important choices. Antares is the energy of the sacred pause & spaciousness before choice. And with Sagittarius Moon, this means aligning with your truth & visions to make your dreams come true.

The flames of the Sagittarius moon invite us deeper into Presence to explore important paths/options/choices from our bodies intuitive guidance, rather than solely from the logical mind.

Let the full moon’s luminosity and eclipsing shadow penetrate into your being to deconstruct what achievement, leadership, power and mastery have meant to you, so you redefine this for yourself. It is time to break the chains of comparison, status, competition, power-over / powerlessness by illuminating the emotions and beliefs hiding in the dark (either from society or family). These shadows are ready to be acknowledged and released by feeling them and moving them. During this Moon, allow for any sadness, grief, anger, or fear to have their holy moment of being acknowledged and felt. Any distorted beliefs that have been leading your life are being revealed and dissolved. Honour and thank them for how they have served you and with power of your sovereign choice, let them go!

On the other side of the shadow is liberation! Through this deep excavation of your being, you are creating space for a potent rebirth of love and true mastery for your life and for the benefit All. This eclipse will guide you into the direction of living your dreams and devotions in these unprecedented times as the change agent you are and are becoming! Through the eclipsing of shadow and light, know that you are supported and blessed.

Ritual Suggestions

Eclipsing Earth & Fire Connection: Stand or walk on the earth with bare feet. Imagine roots growing down from your feet and/or your womb space to the womb of Mother Gaia. Feel this as an anchoring pillar of light connecting you to the Earth and welcome in the magick of the Moon, the Sun descending down from above moving through you, as you continue to send the energy deep into the earth to ground you, releasing stagnant or pent up emotional energy. Light a fire to transmute fears and limitations. What you are releasing? Speak it out loud, make sounds, move the energy through your body. This letting go creates space for rebirth.
Gratitude Speak: Speak aloud to the Full Moon, or write in your journal 11 things you are grateful for. If writing, place in the moonlight overnight. This practice brings to light more experiences for you to be grateful for.
Dream Illumination & Sacred Release Journal: What dreams is your soul illuminating for you at this time? What sacred desires are being called into the light? What visions do you have for yourself? How can you clarify and amplify your dreams? Why are they meaningful and full of purpose? What is between you and your dreams? What is stopping you from living them (focusing on your own patterns, thought forms, behaviors, beliefs)? Burn this paper now for sacred release in a fire or with candles outside in the full moon light. Dance / speak/ move/ sound it out. After the moon has eclipsed (and you feel more space within you), write down and speak aloud how you now choose to commit and devote yourself to your dreams. How you can take action, receive support and rest into the divine timing of these dreams.
Devotional Dreams: How does your heart want to be expressed/nurtured at this time with the dreams you hold dear and close to your heart? What embodiment practices inspire you right now? 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.
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.

Lunar Beltane~ Pink Scorpio Super Moon

The Beltane Portal opens with the Full Moon in Scorpio on April 26 at 8:31pm PDT / 11:31pm EDT.

This Lunar Beltane Super Moon begins the Beltane Portal this year and runs through May 4, which is Solar Beltane with the Sun at 15 degrees Taurus. Can you feel the shifting of energies within? An amplification of your sixth sense, womb & heart pulsing and feeling between the worlds? A potent activation on the spiral of life is happening with the light of this moon.

With the Taurus Sun and Scorpio Moon, this is a time of celebrating your fertile dreams, honouring your erotic nature, and releasing deep emotions. Hidden treasures and tribulations connected to sensuality and sexuality are illuminated. Through shadow and light, this can reveal your greatest womb power and womb wounds for revelation, healing and empowerment!

This Full Moon activates an opening for you to reclaim your sensual and sexual power and to amplify your pleasure, worth and sovereignty. To rise in your truth and come home to the precious inner sanctum of your Womb Temple, the seat of your feminine power. You hold dominion here. No one else.

Gratitude, Self-Love and Pleasure Rituals to nourish your body are especially important right now that invite deeper layers of excavation, emotion, exploration & embodiment of your erotic innocence and sexual expression. We are in a potent crucible to release guilt and shame within our womb spaces, reconcile wounding and melt the tension of our global feminine cramp!

Great healing and reprogramming can come by delighting in passionate communion (with self or other) and honouring the gift of your sacred sensuality. Pleasure is your birthright. It is the power of Creation itself!

PINK MOON ATTRIBUTES

Tarot: The Magician
Herbs: Basil, Chives, Dragon’s blood, Geranium
Colors: Crimson Red, Fushia & Gold
Stones: Ruby, Garnet, Rose quartz
Animals: Bear, Wolf, Hawk
Goddesses: Hathor, Ceres, Ishtar / Venus, Bast
Medicine: energy into creating and producing; change; self-reliance; tempering emotional flare-ups; receptivity

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.
Lunar Beltane Fire Ritual: Get into Nature. Take off your shoes. Breathe in the air and remember that your cycles mimic Gaia’s. Give any of 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.
Beltane Moon Elixir: Combine mint/rose/tulsi/hibiscus/cinnamon tea with honey and you've got a simple and delicious 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.

Libra Full Moon

The Libra Full Moon was exact today at 11:48am PDT

This Full Moon rose in close alignment to where the Sun rose at Equinox. This initiates (Sun in Aries) the Venusian Libra Rose Moon to act as a reflector and transmitter to illuminate yet again the Equinox mysteries. Thus, this Full Moon amplifies the energy of the Sacred Marriage / Cosmic Egg activated by the Serpent of Fire (Venus reflected in the Moon & Mars reflected in the Sun) for the integrated relationship of the masculine and feminine, seen and unseen, above and below, within and without. We honour these energetics of Divine Union / Life / Death / Rebirth and Resurrection as portrayed through the lives of Inanna & Damuzi, Isis & Osiris, and Mary Magdalene & Yeshua.

The Sacred Mysteries of the Grail are alive!
The powerful energy present now with this Full Moon and into Easter weekend is imbued with potent energy for co-creating with Gaia. To Recalibrate, Rebirth and Renew. For Self within and as a Living Prayer for the Whole.

This Libra Full Moon also amplifies the energetics of partnership and relationship. Remember to practice Self-love, compassion for other, and honour your boundaries.

Feel into the relationship you have with yourself, with your heart, your dreams, with Beloveds, with your global family and with the Earth. What are you grateful for in these relationships? What lessons and insights do you bring with you from this lunation? What needs to be amplified and what needs still needs to be composted, shifted, transformed? How can you bring beauty to all situations and relationships? How can you accept and integrate both the light and the dark?

RITUAL SUGGESTIONS

Further Authentic Inquiry Journaling: Bring your pen in hand to paper and let your heart answer these potent questions: What truth, power and wisdom have I left behind or hidden away that is now ready to come into the light? What is resurrecting within me that will create balance in my life? What relationship dynamics am I holding on to that may feel safe, but is truly not serving? What do I consciously choose to release and create with love? What am I changing? What am I celebrating? What is the deep unwavering truth of who I am? What do I truly desire? What is shaking loose within me? What does my soul/heart need right now?
Sacred Meditation: Visualize a golden glow around your body and opening rose petals at your womb space, and mind. Extend this glow to all encompass all of you. Receive this rejuvenation and then extend it out to your loved ones and the world for Beauty and Healing.
Make Love: To life, to your garden, to yourself, to your creative arts, to your Beloved, including but not limited to sex, infused with sensitivity, open-heartedness, and passion.
Remember: Put out your gemstones and jewels outside under the moonlight or in a window (in water if you can) for cleansing, renewal, and activation.
Commune: Gather is 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 Blessings, Achintya Devi

VIRGO PRIESTESS FULL MOON

The Full Moon in Virgo is exact February 27th 12:17 am PST / 3:17am EST.

We are in the transition phase on the Wheel of the Year from one season towards another. If you are in the northern hemisphere, what do you take with you from winter's wisdom into spring? What do you leave behind? If you are in the southern hemisphere, what do you take with you from summer's joy into autumn? What do you leave behind?

This Full Moon in Virgo assists in releasing what no serves you and can align you with the Priestess and Medicine Woman within, as Virgo is the Divine Feminine and the 'Virgin'. In this Full Moon, we are called again to illuminate Self Sovereignty.

The word 'virgin' originally meant "whole unto oneself". What does it mean to be sovereign unto oneself? What does it feel like to be in your full power? At this full moon, we are asked to explore with a mystical lens (Pisces Sun) all the ways in which we give our power away and how we can reclaim it. The moon reflects to us the importance of activating our inner discernment, wisdom, and intuition to ground our visions and dreams to earth. This is to embody our Wise Woman/Sage/Priestess.

As Virgo is ruled by Mercury, you have a profound invitation and opportunity to reclaim your sovereign power by speaking your Truth, communicating unspokens, listening to the voice of your dreams, following your soul calling and sharing in very real and intimate ways. This can be scary and may bring up many beliefs and patterns around your self-worth, pleasing others, and prioritizing yourself. And yet, with the Archetype of Priestess illuminated within you, when you reveal deep truths to yourself and speak what is alive, present and necessary to be spoken, you will show up with full integrity and in resonance of your Soul (even if your heart is beating fast and you are scared).

It’s a BIG Moon, sister!

If you are anything like the thousands of women around the world on a path of awakening, you have some things to say. Maybe to yourself, maybe to another, maybe to the Divine. And... What you are NOT speaking impacts your life greatly. In this Full Moon, what needs to be spoken? What dreams need to be honoured? What are you reclaiming? Once you speak your Truth, you free yourself and experience a homecoming as sovereign vessel of Heaven and Earth, Living as Love.

This Full Moon is a powerful Threshold moment. You are standing right at the doorway about to step into something new and/or something that has been a dream that can now become a reality. Something in your life is asking you to make a commitment that seems edgy or exciting or real or scary. You have the invitation to walk through this Threshold and expand into your Diamond brilliance by taking responsibility for your actions, thoughts, and Divine mission. At this time, you are being summoned to live as a Priestess.

Step forth, dear one, to ask for what you need, express your heart with authenticity and celebrate the power of your emotions, wisdom, value, and intuition. Now is the time to create and design your human experience from a grounded place of focused intention, service and beauty woven with mystery, the non-linear and the magical. There is great insight and healing when we pay attention to both our dreams and the signs right in front of us!

This is our Moon Medicine.

MOON RITUAL SUGGESTIONS

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.
Seva: Practice selfless service by doing something for someone else (maybe even a stranger) that would brighten their day.
Express Yourself: Whether through voice or movement, sing, speak and move from a place of your authentic heart to engage with the current expression of your own body & soul.
Gratitude: Now is a beautiful time to reach out and share with others what you are most grateful for about them. Gratitude can also be expressed to oneself and to the Great Mystery with reverence for all our blessings at this time.
Intentional Design: Take the reins of your schedule and create some order. Design or arrange your home space to represent your essence.
Moon Prayers: With the full moonlight, write down or speak your prayers for yourself, loved ones and the planet. The full radiant moon amplifies your word.
Moon Priestess: Make time for quiet and stillness as the moon rises. Meditate in the full moonlight and open yourself receive intuitive guidance and support.
Reclaim Self Sovereignty: 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 are 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.
Organize & Release To Beautify: Let go of physical objects that are not supporting your joy. Declutter. Clean. Organize your home space (in and out). This moving of energy supports clearing and cleansing on all levels and welcomes the full moon Light to activate you and your loved ones.
Remember: Put out your gemstones and jewels in a window or in water for cleansing, renewal, and activation.
Commune: Gather is 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.
