August Full Moon

Lions Gate Portal and Sturgeon Full Moon – Ch, Ch, Changes…….

Happy Magickal, Mischievous, Musical, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

Thank you so much for all the wonderful messages and emails with regards to your Luscious Lughnasadh Companion Gift. It tickled me pink to hear about how you were celebrating, journaling and which rituals you tried. (My sister would have been very happy!)

Okay, we have a lot to cover and explore this week as today is the Lions Gate Portal and we have the glorious Sturgeon Super Moon in Aquarius on Thursday the 11th, so the energy has been off the charts. So let me ask – how are you? How are you feeling?

Many in our lovely community and in Creatrix Circle have shared all the unusual physical symptoms they have been having from feeling incredibly unwell (which was me all last week), to fatigue, feeling as if the top of their head wasn’t there, chest pains etc. Let alone the most random external experiences that were occurring. One client thought she was going quite bonkers, but when we talked about the energy and I tapped into hers we found a solution to keep her grounded.

So if you have been feeling off, odd or just very itchy, twitchy, bitchy or spacey – KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

The energy of August involves a lot of change, allowing yourself to release past wounding, large life evaluation and practicing proactive resilience.

The words Courage, Determination and Flexibility would stand you in good stead this month.

So let’s look at what the Lion’s Gate Portal is and how to use the energy to support you this month shall we?

The lion’s gate portal opens every year on August 8 (so the 8th of the 8th), when the Sun, Sirius and Earth take their perfect places for this energetic shower. Sirius is the 2nd brightest star and is sometimes called our “Spiritual Sun” and is known for her energy giving powers.

This creates a glorious portal of manifestation.

Eight is known as the powerhouse number, and it acts as a bridge between the material and spiritual realms. It’s also the number of power and wealth. So having a double 8 is quite auspicious.

Now you have a quick nutshell version of what the Lion’s Gate Portal is – how can you actualize all of this powerful eight-energy?

The portal opens in Leo season so play with your inner Leo (even if you aren’t one). The sign of Leo contains and represents love, generosity, leadership, and creativity.

Focus on love. Allow the Lion’s Gate Portal to open the portal in your own heart. Do things that bring you joy!

Prepare for massive shifts.

Tap into your spiritual side.

Practice gratitude. The more love and gratitude you pour out in the world, the more it comes back to you multiplied.

Next up is the glorious Sturgeon Super Moon in Aquarius on August 11th. This Moon is named the Sturgeon Moon to symbolize and represent the freshwater fish that were easily caught during this hot summer month in North America.

Have you ever seen a Sturgeon? They are so frigging impressive and look prehistoric and can be traced back over 200 million years!

Sturgeon can grow to be quite large in size and often live to be over 100 years old.

So – align your spiritual intentions this month with the strong and impressive sturgeon. They’ve survived millions of years by adapting and persevering through many different challenges. You are just as powerful and resilient whether you realize it or not.

The symbol for Aquarius is the Water Bearer, symbolically and eternally giving life and spiritual food to the world. The water from the vessel washes away the past, leaving room for a fresh, new start.

The sign of Aquarius is forward-looking and growth-oriented. Take this opportunity to let go of old pain, release what bogs you down, and open your mind to renewed flexibility and clarity. Great waves of life are flowing all around us at this time.

August is a powerful month of releasing and reevaluating your life. It’s time to let go of anything that is holding you back because you want to be open and ready for the new energies that are coming in at this point in the year.

So with that glorious energy in play, that both meld together – let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the glorious cards and asked who wanted to guide and support you this week I was delighted to see some new guides who wanted to show and shine.

In case you have never met them, please let me introduce you (as not to is rude!)

These glorious guides give you needed glimpses into your everyday life and help you see where changes can be made to enhance your life here on Earth. There is so much more to our world than we often perceive.

There exist many dimensions and numerous beings that reside in these realms. All of these elemental beings are interconnected with us. We do not live independent of one another but are interdependent. These wonderful beings are here to help.

They not only take care of the Earth, but they work hard to take care of us. We are familiar with many of these beings, such as angels, faeries, and elves. There are many more we are not conscious of, but they, nevertheless, contribute to the workings of our planet. Remember as you go through your day, to ask for help from the elemental world whenever you need it. The need is never too small to call on their help. It is through helping us that they advance in their spiritual development. We are their work. We in turn can spiritually evolve through allowing them to help us. To all these amazing beings we say Thank You.

Okay, let’s just take a moment and I invite you to take a lovely deep breath in. In through the nose, out through the mouth with a glorious sigh. Breathe yourself back here to this moment. Allow the worries to drop like water droplets down to the earth to nourish something new. Then, when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at you.

If you want a little bit more of a “tune up”, let’s go play with water in a lovely guided visualisation.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look.

ALWAYS

The keyword here is Infinity.

To truly understand life, you must understand that you have always been…and always will be. You are a part of the Divine Source that rules the Universe. Your spirit and your soul are immortal. As the physical body passes from existence your energy body survives, eventually to move back to join with the Spirit. Your connection to the Divine Spirit is never severed.

You are never alone. You are always connected to the Source. You are the vehicle through which the Divine Spirit manifests on Earth.

Understand your divinity and your importance on Earth. Appreciate that every other being on Earth is equally important to the Divine Plan. You may have a desire or wish for a special person in your life who will promise to always be there for you. First, you must always be there for yourself!

Perhaps in the past those who should have stuck by you did not. Those you thought were true were not. Release old pain and habit patterns and allow your highest good to manifest in your life.

Express your gratitude for you!!

This primes the pump for a real lasting relationship. And always remember the elementals that are helping you along the way. Their devotion to you is infinite and unwavering.

“I ever was,

I always will be.

I am Infinity.

My soul reaches out far beyond this shell,

Within me Spirit has a place to dwell.

I am.

So be it!”

Play a song over and over and over again.

FAIRIES

Think of the Spirit Realm and the realm of faeries and the faery within you.

You are being invited to use your inborn ability to tap into spirits of the mystical realm. You may find that you are enhanced with an otherworldly, magickal, faerylike quality. You may come from a long line of faery ancestors, carrying the bloodline of ancients. Others may notice something just a bit different about you.

The word eccentric might come to the minds of some who are acquainted with you. But do you care? No! And that is how it should be!

You may see, hear and know things others do not. Administering healing energy may be your talent. There is a special twinkle in your eye…these are the eyes that can see faeries, and communicate with all the elementals. You work with the heavenly as well as the Earthly spirits. You are a gifted person…..intuitive and capable of easily channeling the energies of the Universe.

Remember to always use this power for the highest good. Always ask that you be guided in its use and that no one comes to harm through your ministering. Remember to keep your ego out of your spiritual work, for therein lies your downfall.

Give credit where credit is due…..Spirit does the work.

“I joyously embrace my uniqueness.

I embrace all that comes from Spirit.

I allow Spirit to move within my being

And to assist the growth of others as well as myself.

I know that all healing comes from Spirit

And I graciously accept the gifts bestowed upon me, and as such,

I bring only honour to the name of Spirit.

So be it!”

Sprout your wings today!

TROUBLE

Honesty, such a beautiful thing. It’s time for you to keep your eyes open and your ears alert. Someone is not being as honest with you as they can be. This can be a business affair or a relationship. There is a stretching of the truth or a covering up of facts.

You are likely to find out too late unless you pay attention. Bring your intuition into play and combine it with fact finding. No one can keep the wool over your eyes for very long!

It’s also an important reminder to be scrupulous with your own words and deeds. Remember that what you send out is what you get back. This is the law of the Universe.

Be honest with yourself.

Trouble can almost always be avoided by paying attention, choosing your words and actions wisely, and by listening to your higher self.

Ask the faeries and angels to help you tap into your highest and best energy!

Remember, you do not need to draw negative situations into your life. Choose to bring joyful and positive situations instead. Sometimes the best action can simply be no action for the moment.

“Truth is within me.

Honest people surround me.

I am guided in all things,

To the perfect course of action.

My world is bountiful

And I work with the tool of truth, trust and attraction.

So be it!”

Stir things up today!

Oh gosh, I love these guides for this week! Wishing you an amazing week, delicious lovely, remember to beam love (especially to yourself), dance with the Lion’s Gate Portal energy and really utilise this amazing Full Moon to release, relax and rejuvenate. Big hugs and see you next week!

Can you Feel the Shift in the Air? What does the Blue Sturgeon Moon ask of you?

Happy Magickal, Miraculous, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday! How are you? We are already into mid August, can you believe it?

When my kids were smaller this was a frenetic time of trying to squeeze in the last bits of summer and yet start preparing for the upcoming school session. I personally love this time of year as Autumn is approaching!!! For me, Spring and Fall are my favourite seasons by far. I mean, yeah summer is nice with the longer days and the heat, but we have had unrelenting heat, blazing sun, forest fires, smoke andI’m rather done with it and am feeling dried out from the inside out!

On the weekend I hosted a family and friend dinner gathering out in the garden and was tickled pink to actually have to put on a second layer as the sun went down. We also had to play “dodge the acorns” as the garden is in the midst of a Garry Oak grove and all the trees had obviously decided that Fall was approaching and so every few minutes 2 or 3 large acorns would come flying down to either bounce on the grass – or on someone’s head!

There’s definitely a shift in the air and a promise of something deeper, richer and more inward turning as Fall approaches.

This upcoming weekend we welcome the second Full Moon in Aquarius (if you remember the first one was last month). This delicious Full Moon is a Blue Moon and is known as the Sturgeon Moon.

Great Jen, but what does that mean for me?

The Sturgeon Full Moon of August fully embodies the final days of summer and signals the harvest season. Our first harvest celebration was Lammas at the beginning of August. Deep within us, anticipation starts to stir, we feel it quicken just beneath the surface. You’ll notice the days start to feel a bit shorter and the sunlight has grown a bit weaker. You may even observe a few fallen yellow leaves.

August’s sweltering lazy summer days inspire dreams of pumpkin spice lattes and sweater weather.

We’re beginning to reap the rewards of some of our crops, either literal or metaphorical. However, we need to be patient as we wait for our hard work and creations to fully culminate.

The Full Moon of August is named the Sturgeon Moon to symbolize and represent the freshwater fish that were easily caught during this hot summer month in North America. Have you ever seen a Sturgeon? They are so frigging impressive and look prehistoric and can be traced back over 200 million years!

Sturgeon can grow to be quite large in size and often live to be over 100 years old.

So – align your spiritual intentions this month with the strong and impressive sturgeon. They’ve survived millions of years by adapting and persevering through many different challenges. You are just as powerful and resilient whether you realize it or not.

What big ambitions did you have last Winter or early Spring that you most desire to see accomplished? Let the Full Moon of August’s energy encourage you to push through the final hurdles to complete your goals and intentions. Allow yourself to admit if you’ve fallen off track, and then dust yourself off, and try again.

Remember progress over perfection! It’s ok if things aren’t working out exactly as you envisioned. Allow yourself to go with the flow and trust that the universe is also working hard to help your intentions come true. Consistent effort and hard work will always pay off, even if it’s not exactly as you planned. Stay open-minded, but don’t give up!

If you want to dive deeper into this energy, explore the concepts of harvest, gratitude and flexibility or go play with water!

Water is the perfect way to cool down during the warm August days and nights. Spend some time by a lake, ocean, river, or your favorite watering hole! Fully submerge in the cool water if you can. Let it flow around you and relax. Allow any anxiety or worries to slip away with the current or tide. Imagine yourself as the water trusting and flowing freely. Let go of your fears and know that whatever may happen, you will find a way to make the best of it.

So with that glorious energy in play let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the glorious cards and asked who wanted to guide and support you this week I was delighted to see The Oracle of the Shapeshifters. As we are all shapeshifting in some shape or form right now.

If these glorious guides are new to you, let me please introduce them (as that is the polite thing to do)! “These are the magickal familiars, once the companions of shamans, witches, wizards, and wise ones – and now they are here for you. Now is the time for you to undertake a great quest – to rebirth yourself within this lifetime and this quest of evolution does not need to be faced alone. We change and we change again. We fear change. Yet it comes. For us to fear change is as foolish as winter crying for the coming of spring. Change is. Fear corrupts. These guides are here to support, encourage and help you through transformation and to teach you to let go of fear. True , deep change must take place for you to fulfill your soul contract. You may have turned from possibility to what you have convinced yourself is probable: You diminish your possible self, reduce who you are, and dilute your spirit. But even when you have sought to remain invisible and hidden away, and said yes to everyone else, life will find you – and transform you. You are never alone with these beings.” Phew! So there we have it, are you ready?

Take a moment to align with the wonderful, strong, ancient sturgeon. Let that glorious energy fill you as you breathe and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that call to you this week.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see, shall we?

THE MERMAID OF IMMERSION

It has come time to completely involve yourself – you have been holding back, only going so far with a new project or with a commitment to yourself, always pulling back at the last moment from taking the step. You are holding a part of yourself back, watching, judging, always assessing whether this is right or wrong. You are surrounding yourself with what you consider to be protection and what humans call buffer zones. And you claim you want change. You claim you wish to understand. You claim you wish to have this done!

If this is true, then the time has come to take a deep breath, dive off the edge of the cliff, and immerse yourself fully in the waters of change. Go underneath, to the truth of what has happened, and surround yourself only with what supports that change. The time has come to remove the buffer zones and to have enough faith in your friendships and family relations to know that if they are meant to be, they will be there when you return. You need not take this plunge. It is not compulsory. But it is what you have claimed you wanted. Come with me. I will teach you how to breathe underwater. And then, finally, the truth you have claimed you have been reaching for will be yours.

It is time to release procrastination, making excuses and staying in the land of excuses and old ways – the deep underneath, your soul is calling for you. Break free. Dive in. Dive deep. Be surrounded by and belong to the beauty you wish to become!

KITSUNE

“Trust me,” people say. “Over here,” they beckon. “I love you,”others croon. But who of all these beings seeking what you possess speaks the truth?

I, Kitsune, can hear their true voice, and I can see the consequences of their plans before they have a chance to unfurl. While it can hurt to know the truth, it is best to know the heart of those who would win your trust, your love, your resources. These precious gifts of yours must be protected. Your tender self must only be given where you will be honoured. There are some who wish to deceive and maniu;ate you, and yet you do not know who they are. By welcoming me in for a time, I will act as a powerful undercover agent, and I will expose the tricks and falsehoods of others. I will never advise you to be false, but I will clearly signal to you when to stay silent, whom to avoid, and situations that need not be your concern.

I may appear in the guise of a helpful stranger or an insightful encounter – or as I do here. Regardless of my form, I am your friend, and I will tell you the truth – and show you where the trickster plays.

STRANGE COMPANIONS IN STRANGER PLACES

Einstein, one of your wise ones, said that imagination is more important than power. How true this is. There is nothing on this planet that was not born of a dream, or a wayward thought – including we two, who were born out of separate imaginations but who live on and grow more and more powerful thanks to the millions who believe in us and our stories and whom we, in turn, inspire!

So now, like us, you find yourself amid strange times and places.

You have a great power within you – the power of your creativity, your imagination, and your dream self! You are going through great changes, and it seems to you like you have no power. But if you use your imagination, if you get truly creative about how to deal with new people and places, who you can be, and what you are capable of, you will shine.

You also have beautiful, strong allies who have accompanied you on your journey and who will not leave your side. They may bring inspiration for drawing, for daydreaming brilliant stories, for knowing how things should look, for being able to write the most ethereal music, or for dancing as light as a feather. Whatever your gift, use it to head into and become more familiar with this new territory, and explore this strange new place where you have chosen to begin a new life for yourself.

No more hiding – the adventure is one which is taking place now, and you are a part of it all. All is well – how could it not be as you live this new life in this full and wonderful way, with your great creativity and your courage in full bloom?

Wow, glorious strong messages for this shift and time. How did it feel for you? Wishing you a fabulous week filled with cool mornings, clear skies and the strength of the Sturgeon! See you next week.

August Full Moon

Happy Magickal, Mischievous, Musical, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

This creates a glorious portal of manifestation.

Eight is known as the powerhouse number, and it acts as a bridge between the material and spiritual realms. It’s also the number of power and wealth. So having a double 8 is quite auspicious.

Great Jen, but what does that mean for me?

So – align your spiritual intentions this month with the strong and impressive sturgeon. They’ve survived millions of years by adapting and persevering through many different challenges. You are just as powerful and resilient whether you realize it or not.
