Happy Full~ Moon May 4th, 2015!!!!

Oh what a most fabulous full moon we have in store. This one celebrates truth in various ways.

Our society … creates these standards that all are expected to live by and they may not really fit us all yet so many try very hard all the same to fit into those labels and may feel stifled.

There may be things in our life we hide as we fear what others will think. Living with that fear hovering over our head is not good for us or our loved ones either.

This moon really reaches deep inside of us to be who we are and be of truth. As they say “the truth will set you free”.

And what better time to embrace this then in this lovely season of Spring which is all about newness!

Listen to the voice of the heart it knows. Be brave you will feel so much lighter.

Key words: truth, releasing

Affirmations:  

Being self is the best gift I can give the world.

I fearlessly go forth in the world as self.

Stone for this cycle:

Amber is a most awesome stone of healing of body, mind and spirit, and the environment too with its purifying/cleansing properties.  Thus it helps our best come forth.

 Apache tear is a protective stone that helps one in times of change and encourages one being their true self.

Happy New Moon April 18, 2015!!!!

There is a bond between the fish of Pisces in the star Alrisha. This is the knot of the cord connecting the fish, and a major focus of this moon cycle. This being a union of opposites creating in new ways together in the sense of two or more together accomplishing more than the added sum of them alone.  This shows the importance of looking with the heart and seeing the differences for the beauty they bring not as an issue.  See the beauty that has always been there.

The recent upheavals of the new cycles have been all about newness and growth.  Now it is time to open further to the beauty of all.

In the cosmic flow of the universe you can again plant more seeds in this darkness of the moon and tend them well; as well as releasing new wishes out into the universe.

If you are particularly sensitive you will feel a strong awareness.

This can be a time when you make a strong offering, commitment, etc to something in a rather powerful way to our life, our family, loved one…

Key words: acceptance, accomplishment, aware

Affirmations:  

I am devoted to my vision in life to help others along the way.

I see the beauty of all!

Stone for this cycle:

Emerald: Is known as the stone of successful love, enhances psychic abilities.

Lapis Lazuli: A protective stone that brings inner peace and enhances inner knowing

Sapphire: Known as a stone of wisdom and prosperity and keeps you balanced.

Happy full moon/lunar eclipse April 4, 2015!!!!

Wow this full moon comes to us with much intensity. This is a time to show your strength. For lots of purging and change is possible now.  Be gentle with yourself and with others.  I would suggest going into the silence and watching and listening.

Look at this cycle with much elation, releasing the old and opening space for new things to come in.  Remember the seeds of newness are always ready to harvest.  Let nothing hold you back and this means beliefs too. Be in the flow of pure truth.

This time of newness calls to us for change. Are we getting caught in the same cycles over and over again? It is because we either need to remove these things from us or work them out.  Things within us and within the cosmos are in this harmony of circle. If we are in true  flow with this we will feel light if we are not it means we need to resolve things.

Eclipses do put out much intensity for it all. Be happy for this universal nudge as it also brings with it many blessings.  Allow the flood that is the abundance of the universe!

Key words: intensity, purging, blessings

Affirmations:  

I let go and allow.

Stone for this cycle:

Turquoise: Turquoise is a wonderful healing and protection stone to help us stay balanced. It is also connected to Venus so there is that aspect of love there too.

Blood stone: Another healing stone helpful in staying grounded and connecting to our creative and intuitiveness. Helpful to calm the mind.

Full moon names based on location:

Northern hemisphere: Grass Moon, Egg Moon

Southern hemisphere:

Harvest Moon, Hunter’s Moon, Blood Moon

Now is the time of new beginnings. Mother Earth is fertile with new growth, babies are being born. The universal vibration is all about freshness, growth, new ideas, new ways of seeing things, building awesomeness!

The peoples of  the past always relied on the seasons for everything in life and many are still connected to this knowing of how all works together.

For some a circle was created outdoors and a fire created in honoring of the powers that be and in celebration of the new season and all it had to offer.

white


symbols:
potted plant
cauldron or fire

Mother Earth connecting visualization:
Do this outside anyplace that makes you feel good and connected to Mother Earth. Sit or lie on the ground.  Take a few slow deep breaths and feel the warmth of the sun upon you, take in all the sounds around  and also the smells in the air. Focus on the feel of Mother Earth as you sit or lay on her. As a child in sweet embrace. as you do all this do not forget the nice warm sun upon you.
Focus on the spot above the head where the Crown chakra is. See the violet color this place of divine connection. Feel the sun warming this spot opening it.
Go down to the third eye chakra between the brows See the indigo color feel your intuitive nature grow as this chakra is open.
Continue on at your own pace to the throat chakra the lovely blue chakra of self expression of all sorts. It opens and so does the doors of expression of self.
Go to the heart chakra, the color green of growth like the love of ones heart, of compassion, caring. Feel it flow through you growing more and more.
Next the solar plexus the spot just below the ribs. The sunshine glows there in bright yellow. You feel strong and confident as this chakra opens.
Just below the belly button the sacral chakra begins to glow in lovely orange emotion flows of love to you and to others, your creativity is sparked. this chakra is open wide.
and now the root chakra at the base of the spine glows in a fiery red your feel safe and grounded.
This warmth of the sun flows through you now and down to Mother Earth nourishing her and back up to you nourishing you. Together you flow in a harmony and wholeness as Tree and Mother. Your roots grow strong. Mother is strong.

Happy Full moon March 5, 2015!!!!

This moon is the smallest full moon of the year. Meaning it is furthest away from Mother Earth; 30,000 miles to be exact.

This Virgo moon comes to us in a most interesting way really impressing upon us to accept ourselves fully.  There is great power in this, for it opens us to a deeper sense of love and thus to a flow of healing.  Chiron is there to help any healing.

Virgo also is about what we can do for others or for the world. Whatever you can do at any given time let it flow.  Give of self.

This moon has the effect of that Spring cleaning too.  Purging, cleaning out, healing, renewal.

Key words: acceptance, healing, newness

Affirmations:  

I see me fully and the beauty of this.

I love helping others and feeding the flow of giving.

Stone for this cycle:

Rose quartz- helps in releasing negative emotions and tension.  It is wonderful for promoting the creative flow, and is seen as a stone of Love.

Names of full moon around the world:

 Northern Hemisphere: Sap moon, worm moon, Crow moon, Lenten moon
