Full Moon in Virgo

Today is a Full Moon in Virgo – what do you need to Release? Words have Power and sooooo much more!

Jenny Heston · 1:00 am ·

Happy Magickal, Moonlit, Majestic, Manifesting March Monday!Ā  How are you delicious lovely? The first day of Spring is almost here and I can most certainly feel the energy building and getting ready to bud – I’m so excited, kinda wiggly like a labrador puppy!Ā  We have so much to explore this week (and this is why I am creating something new where we can go deep into all sorts of things as it’s tricky to write about them all in one post!) Also there will be two glorious Equinox bundles (for the Northern Hemisphere and one for the Southern hemisphere) being released on Friday, packed full of rituals, magick, ideas, information and all sorts of goodies to help you really plant strong seeds and step into this powerful energy!Ā Ā 

Okay, we have just had International Women’s Day, today is a Full Moon in Virgo, Why you need to Watch Your Words and Spring Equinox is only 10 days away!!!

Yesterday was International Women’s Day!Ā  Did you know that the first International Women’s Day occurred in 1911, supported by over one million people?Ā  (Think about that, the year alone). Why do we celebrate IWD? We celebrate this global day of recognition to acknowledge and celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women and girls, and to raise awareness of the work left to be done.Ā  I love the ā€œthemeā€ for this IWD – An equal world is an enabled world. So strike the pose of holding your arms horizontally in front of your body and make the ā€œequalā€ sign with them.Ā  Think what our glorious world would look and feel like if we empowered all genders to be equal, enabled and embraced!Ā  Whoot!!Ā Ā 

Today is a glorious fat, delicious Full Moon in Virgo which will shine a light on any area of our lives that has been hidden or ignored for too long.Ā  We may discover new realisations, or find ourselves feeling the need to purge and release the past so we can move forward.Ā  It’s a delicious time under this glorious Super Moon to accept ourselves, our lives, and the circumstances we find ourselves in.Ā  Remember acceptance allows space for healing and moving forward.Ā Ā 

As Lena shares:- ā€œ This is a practical moon good for supporting discrimination and discernment. Spend some time taking an inventory of your resources. Identify the ones that are not really resources, the ones that are already spent, the ones that need to be acknowledged and used, and the ones that are not yet in your field.Ā 

This is a super moon and a good one for visioning, praying, asking for help and committing yourself to better boundaries. Take some time to sort and clear something in your physical environment. It is always a good expression of your internal intentions. Some self-care and alone time should be on your list for today as well. See yourself as a point of reference for others. What kind of a point of reference are you? A positive one that embodies hope, calmness, well-being and neutrality? Or one that embodies negativity, fear and obsession? Your choice.ā€

On Saturday I went to a great Law of Attraction Workshop put on by Michael Lozier. I had read his book about 8 years ago and had enjoyed it, but I felt I needed a tune up.Ā  Which is exactly what I received. A glorious reminder about my language, as Words Have Power.Ā  I am being more aware about eradicating the words ā€œDon’t, Not and Noā€ from my vocab.Ā  As words create our thoughts, our thoughts create our vibe (feelings) and that influences our results.Ā Ā 

So for example on this glorious Full Moon I invite you to take a situation in your life; could be a relationship, work, financial, travel – whatever you chose and then write on the top of a piece of paper ā€œMy Ideal…….(fill in the blank). ā€œĀ  Then on one side of the paper write 10 things you don’t want, about in your ideal…….. Then when you have done that list, review it and ask yourself ā€œSo What Do I Want?ā€Ā  On the other side of the paper take each ā€œdon’t want pointā€ and ask what DO I want (in other words a reframe). For example if you were writing about your ideal new job and said:-Ā  I don’t want rigid hours, I don’t want negligent management etc. The reframe would be – my hours are flexible, my management is understanding and reliable.Ā  Get it? As you make your way through each point, please remember to cross out the ā€œDon’t want listā€, and then light a candle and burn that sucker up. Offer it up, release it and realise that you now have a clarity list and these are the words that you use to describe it, which creates different thoughts, which creates a different Vibe, which creates different RESULTS.

Always remember you have a choice, a RESET button in every moment of every day.Ā  Just make sure you know where you put it!

Oh and the other piece of good news is that Mercury goes Direct on Tuesday March 10th!Ā  (Thank frigging goodness.)Ā  I have heard from quite a few of you that you have found this a rather challenging, frenetic, fast paced time.Ā  So with the Full Moon happening the day before, it’s time to release all that energy and fears, yes? Make the above contrast and clarity list.Ā Ā 

Okay, I have chuntered on so let’s crack on with the reading.Ā  When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to guide I giggled when I saw the glorious guides of Oracles of Shadow and Light were front and centre.Ā  Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it would be rude not to)Ā  Wisdom for Misfits, Mystics, Seekers, and Wanderers.Ā  Bittersweet…Unheard…Unconventional…Rebellious…Cheeky…Whimsical…Invisible.Ā  They’re not the words you often hear associated with the spiritual world, are they? Nevertheless, some of the most spiritual beings who have ever lived are those who have been most at odds with what we call the mainstream.Ā  They do not fit in. They have had moments of despair. And they know being truthful, and being real, is one of the greatest strengths and spiritual paths of all! They ask you to step out from the shadows, to no longer hide your light away, and to consult with an oracle that acknowledges your individuality and strange genius! Ā 

How’s that for a warm welcome?

The crystals that wiggled and wobbled are:-Ā  Black Moonstone –Ā  a powerful connection to the Divine Feminine, Black Madonna, helpful to the oversensitive.Ā  Moonstone –Ā  mystery, self discovery.Ā  Mystic Merlinite – can awaken those parts of the mind that are dormant and activate the full potential of the mind. Oh yes, and some delicious calendula flowers that were eaten shortly afterwards!

Ready?Ā  Willing to just settle in for a few minutes?Ā  It won’t take long, the invitation is to breathe and just BE for a few moments and with this amazing Full Moon energy swirling around you pick out something you are willing to release and reframe.Ā  Got it? When you are ready pick the card or cards that tug at your soul strings.Ā Ā 

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look, shall we?

STORM ANGEL

This beautiful fairy is dressed in storms: energy around her crackles and sizzles, but she is calm and unharmed.Ā  Now it is your time and turn to learn to deal with the energy that is around you, without compromising your own! She appears when energies with major differences collide: when intentions are vastly different, when techniques are worlds apart, and when incompatible belief systems meet up!

There is nothing wrong, at all, with difference: diversity is wonderful.Ā  Shadows and light are beautiful and necessary and can coexist in harmony. But certain kinds of differences do not blend…like oil and water, they separate and cannot coexist in harmony.Ā  Therefore, she brings change, and when comes, for some it is simple, easy and flowing; for others, dramatic, erratic, wild, and full of static.Ā Ā 

She appears when two forms of energy collide; high and love.Ā  She appears to burn way the old and create a clear, fresh vibration, where all that is stale, and fearful, and unpleasant has been cleared away.Ā  The wonderful thing about this challenging collision is that while you’ll be nudged out of your comfort zone, you’ll also realise just how much has changed, and how far you have come.Ā  The results will be worth the pressure – trust me!

As the Storm Angel says:Ā  ā€œWhen I appear, know that it is natural for people to feel tension, to become even more entrenched in their beliefs, and to refuse to let go.Ā  The only approach you can take right now is to clearly and powerfully remain in integrity. Do not compromise who you are out of misguided notion of being ā€œcompassionateā€.Ā Ā 

You must speak the truth that is in your heart and stay committed to that truth.Ā 

GHOSTS OF THE PAST

At a masquerade ball, you see a beautiful young woman who has taken off her mask.Ā  The second she did so, people from her past invaded her party. Some are teachers, some are friends, and others are people she’d rather not see again.Ā  One reminds her of being sick once, and others remind her of many other challenging moments in her life. Why is this beauty surrounded by so many reminders at this present time?

She speaks and shares: ā€œAll about me are ghosts of the past, come here, perhaps, so I can finally lay them to rest!Ā  I have taken off my mask, and I know who I am, while they are still wearing theirs and still very much as I left them so long ago.Ā Ā 

It seems I must turn and face them and make peace with them, perhaps even going over some old ground before I can move on to fresh fields.Ā  I have an urge to put my mask on, and mingle with them as I was….butI will not. I will be who I am now, and meet them without pretence, and show them who I have become.Ā  I am no longer afraid of the shadows in my past. I am at peace with all that I have been and all that I am.

We all have life themes, and we all have challenges and patterns – but the trick is to move through them quickly and to learn from them permanently.Ā  These ghosts with masks are here to show you what or who needs an adjustment in your life. A clearing, where you make peace with people you feel you may have wronged, is in order.Ā  None of us is perfect. All of us need to forgive and be forgiven.Ā Ā 

This is the cause of the indecision you are now facing: the ghosts of the past are haunting you.Ā  The time for hiding who you are and pretending to be ā€œnormalā€ and ā€œjust like everyone elseā€ is done!

ANGEL OF TIME

The Angel of Time looks very fierce and stern, and that’s because you need to hear her message.Ā  You see, if she appeared to you in a soft guise, it would be too easy for you to overlook her message and just continue on as if she had never visited.Ā  The truth is that you are forcing yourself beyond your energetic limits at this time – working too hard, self-loving and connecting with the Universe way too little.Ā Ā 

So, she has appeared to remind you of what it is you are turning your world into: one big machine, where you are one cog in it.Ā  You are an important, soulful, beloved being, but the world of work is not going to end if you step away from its mechanism for a while.Ā  ā€œIt is time,ā€ she says, ā€œfor a time out!ā€ Will you listen?Ā 

ā€œI’m getting straight to the point here, because someone really has to tell you.Ā  Stop giving so much to your work. All your time. Your energy. Your passion. Take better care of your health.Ā  This is the time to fulfill all those promises you’ve made to yourself but barely made even the effort to keep. Meditate, eat well, take up gentle exercise, and change unhealthy emotional patterns that are compromising your well being – these are the challenges you need to set yourself.Ā  I thank you in advance, for a happy you makes this world a far better place.!ā€

Wowzer!Ā  What glorious guides for this delicious time.Ā  So my delicious lovely, I wish for you a glorious release today, a week filled with ease, effortlessness and flow.Ā  And keep your eyes peeled for the glorious Equinox bundle that will be released on Friday! Sending you huge hugs and squeezes, dancing sunbeams and big laughter.

Weekly Reading for March 13th and post Full Moon in Virgo.

Jenny Heston · 2:47 pm ·

Happy fantabulous Monday and one that is still burbling with the Full Moon energy! Ā Did you celebrate the Full Moon, Release, Relax and Enjoy? Ā I most certainly did. Every evening I light a candle on my dining room table to bring in the elements of hearth and home. Ā So I lit a few more, put on some gorgeous music and then went and sat outside (yes, with a plethora of other candles) and wrote, burned, celebrated all the glorious people, situations and circumstances that I am grateful for. Ā If you want to learn more about how to harness the power of the Full Moon, there is a great post here 3 Simple Steps to Harnessing the Power of the Full Moon.Ā 

This week we are working with the delicious Oracle deck – The Divine Circus. Ā Note that instead of sparkly crystals adorning the reading there are glorious rocks that I gather on walks or from the edge of the lake. Ā These too are crystals as in essence we all live on the biggest crystal formation there is – which is Earth. Ā 

So take a deep breath in and if you feel like a centering visualisation there is one below. Ā Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that are calling to you.

Ready to go see who wants to work with you this week?

CLOWN OF CROSSROADS

Opportunity is upon you, though it may seem like a farewell to what you have known. Ā This chance is a crossroad, a time when you go left or right. Ā You cannot continue with everything as it has been, and this means that something will have to be released for something else to be gained. Ā It’s time for you to take your chances and make a choice.

Your life does not have to continue on as it has been anymore. Ā You’re at a pattern breaking, life changing moment, or soon will be. Ā Of course you can try to continue with the status quo, however, in doing so, you will be saying no to the pathway opening up for you. It’s time for a new phase of life to begin. Ā Be patient as you feel for the truth of your choice, whilst remaining courageous enough not to procrastinate and become stuck in indecision.

You can’t take your whole life with you into new territory, and that’s okay. Ā Certain people may be able to change and grow along with you, but other relationships, situations or circumstances will have to be sacrificed on the altar of new life. Ā This can be difficult and you must honour your loss, but not get taken down by it. Ā You may be feeling fear and excitement, so it’s time to take heart. Ā It’s time to leap! Ā 

BRILLIANT VIRGIN

In a world where we are bombarded daily with differing opinions and ideas, remaing true to you and your own point of view is nothing short of brilliant. Ā Let go of confusion, distortion, comparison and compromise. Ā You do not need to compare yourself to another or measure up to anyone or anything else. Ā What matters to you and your successful life journey is to be in touch with your own truths. Ā You know what you feel, no matter what anyone else says or believes. Ā Stay true to you!

We need to be bold of heart and have a lot of faith when there is an idea within us yet to manifest in the world. Ā We have to trust in what we see in our hearts, even if sometimes the eyes in our heads see things rather differently. Ā Trust the inner vision, the hope, the dream within us is going to be strong enough to stand the rigours of birth, and be able to come to life in the world. Ā Take time, patience, commitment and effort to transform the ideas into reality.

You see, know, feel, believe in something that is good, pure and true that needs to come to life in this world. Ā It is meant to be original, so people may not ā€œget itā€ straight away, but it is meant to happen through you because you understand it in a way that others may not. Ā Don’t be afraid, DO NOT water down the strength of your vision, your dream. Ā You are meant to be birthing something unique into being. Ā The world needs your originality. Pray for courage, and Trust Yourself!

CHERRY ON TOP

You are so close to success, to the final attainment, to all your efforts coming together perfectly. Ā All that remains for you to do now is one final step, one last choice, commitment, attitude or action, and your success will be complete and sweet – sweeter than an ice-cream sundae with a cherry on top!

Do you feel like you’re on a never-ending journey to manifest a dream? Ā Does it seem like you have been traveling on the road to success forever, so long that you might wonder if you will ever reach the Promised Land – or even if it exists at all? Ā Then you will enjoy some good news! Ā You have been working hard, and for a long time, simply going through each day, doing what you need to do. Ā This has been necessary, giving you patience and persistence, but i can prevent you from realising exactly how far you’ve come, exactly how much you have already accomplished.

You have done so much preparation and like water dripping into a container, the last drop takes it to overflow. Ā So what’s required from you now are just the finishing touches, the finalising of a detail or two, perhaps one last addition or adjustment. Ā It’s the final drop that creates the overflow. Ā If this seems too good to be true, don’t worry. Ā You are used to the hard work and not the final outcome. Ā 

Don’t waste your efforts by giving up on yourself, especially now are so close to the outcome you seek. Ā All that’s needed now is just the cherry on top.

Wishing you a fantabulous week filled with your all that you desire and require to serve at your highest level. Ā Oh and don’t forget we are going to celebrate the Spring Equinox next Monday (I’m so excited, I love Spring!) Ā So may daffodils bob their heads as you walk by and spring flowers dance in your wake!

3 Simple Steps to Harnessing the Power of the Full Moon.

Jenny Heston · 3:13 pm ·

Whoot, whoot, it’s Full Moon! Ā This Full Moon is also known as the Crow Moon. Ā Now if you feel inclined you are more than welcome to dance naked under the moon as I have seen in some movies, (but it’s a tad chilly here for that), so let’s explore different ways to celebrate the Full Moon.

As a kid, I used to look up at what I perceived as a delicious, benevolent face that would glow down at me and I would wonder what she was thinking, and if she could see me. Ā (The joys of being 6). Ā Now I have different thoughts, albeit they are most certainly sprinkled with magic dust when it comes to moon times.

Two weeks ago we had the glorious New Moon with a solar eclipse and today (Sunday, March 13th) we have a Full Moon with a lunar eclipse! Ā Ā This is also a Full Moon in Virgo, so there is some of that energy at play.

So what does Full Moon mean? Ā Well if you think about it the Full Moon represents a culmination of energy, we have watched the moon wax and wane and now she is in her full glory. Ā So this is a perfect time to deal with the stuff we haven’t dealt with. Ā It’s all about letting go, letting go of any resentments, hurts, angers, habits that don’t serve you, thoughts that tweak you. Ā Toxic relationships, toxic thoughts. Ā All about the Release baby! Ā 

The question I often hear is – How do I do that? Ā Aaaahhhh, grasshopper, walk with me a while and you will learn the way of the quiet Ninja………..

There are 3 simple steps to harnessing the effects of Full Moon releasing – you ready? Ā 

First, here I drop the F bomb on you, so if you find it offensive cover your ears, if you’re willing to explore stick with me. Ā 

FORGIVENESS. Ā (You thought I was going to say Fuck didn’t you?) Ā Forgiveness is key. Ā Now I know you might be rolling your eyes right now and saying to yourself ā€œI am a calm benevolent spirit and of course I forgive.ā€ Ā Well, I am going to say hmmm, possible bullshit. Ā We all want to be perceived as forgiving, loving, kind, aware people, but forgiveness is a tricky one for a lot of us – it’s as if we feel that to forgive someone, or a situation, we are condoning it – which we aren’t. Ā If you want to read more about Forgiveness and how an easy daily practice can have a huge impact on you, your life, your well being and your profit margin, hop on over and readĀ How Do You Feel About the F-Word?

So back to the Full Moon practice.

Step One – Forgive. Ā Take 10 minutes and write, put pen to paper and write down anyone who you perceive has hurt you, any negative emotions, disappointments, upsets or any situation that didn’t turn out like you hoped it would, anything you have said or done that leaves that niggly feeling of ā€œBugger and balderdash, I messed up there.ā€ Ā Write it all down, the good, the bad and the ugly. Ā Then we get to the fun part!

Step Two – Burn It! If you feel comfie read it outloud, if not, just read it through one more time. Ā Then (in a safe way) either outdoors, over a sink, a loo, burn it. Ā Release, release, release, send it out to the heavens, the moon, the ether or wherever you want to. Ā Just don’t hold onto it. Ā After it has turned to ash and dust I personally say to myself and the moon:-

I forgive all hurt, anger and resentment from my past and present, both self inflicted and by others. Ā I forgive anything that prevents me from receiving all that I desire and require to live the life I dream of and serve at my highest level. Ā I cut these cords and ties and send them back to whence they came and I welcome my own energy back, healthy, cleaned and transferred. Ā So Be It. Ā 

Step Three – Gratitude. Ā Now why Gratitude you may ask? Ā We have all heard how important it is to practice gratitude and if you don’t have a daily practice, I highly encourage you to implement one. In this case, as part of the Full Moon ritual, you have just released a lot of ā€œstuffā€ and energy (that probably wasn’t yours) and ties to holding onto crap, so there is now a delicious, fresh clean void. Ā What better way to fill that void than with Gratitude! Ā Gratitude raises the vibration and helps you see clearly all the magical, wonderful things/people that are in your in life.

So take a few moments and think of at least 3 people that you are grateful for in your life. Ā Write them down and really feel the feeling of gratitude (I think of it like a gorgeous warm blanket that makes me feel relaxed, strong and blessed). Ā Write down a list of what you are grateful for, it doesn’t have to be huge. Ā Ā Are your feet warm? Ā Did you have a nice meal today? Ā Are your children healthy? Ā Does your dog greet you when you come home? Ā Did something scrumdelicious happen to you? Ā Just pour it all out and if writing’s not your thing, say it out loud, but not like you’re reciting a paragraph from a text book. Ā Put some feeling behind it. Ā 

Voila, your done! Ā That’s it. Ā It’s not rocket science, but it is exceptionally important. Ā Think about it this way, you planted delicious seeds at the New Moon, now you are just moving the rocks, possible deadwood out of the way with this practice so that your seeds have room to grow.

Now if you want to get particular and earn possible credits or a gold star. Ā When writing your forgiveness you can work with the energy of where the Full Moon is. Ā So for example, this Full Moon is in Virgo and if you have ever looked at a Facebook post that does a quick and dirty description of the astrological signs you will have heard that Virgo can be rather critical, judgemental, a tad of a perfectionist etc. Ā So ask yourself – how have I been critical of someone else, or how did I feel criticised. Ā Does that make sense?

Enjoy. Ā Celebrate the Release and then celebrate all the things to be Grateful for. Ā Happy Full Moon.

Well said sir! And the only people that will be u Well said sir!

And the only people that will be upset by this post are men.

Original text spoken by šŸ‘‰ @lavishmack šŸ‘ˆ
Here we go loves, tomorrow brings our once-in-a-bl Here we go loves, tomorrow brings our once-in-a-blue-moon moment. šŸŒ•šŸ©µ

This Sagittarius full blue moon is bringing a cosmic green light for growth, expansion and taking the leap into the known (and unknown). 

It’s here to free you from the confines of your comfort zone, illuminate the beliefs and fears that have kept you small, and call you towards the fullest and truest expansion of yourself.

You may already be feeling the restlessness building. A feeling that something needs to change. That you’ve outgrown certain parts of your life, limiting thoughts, old stories or ways of being that no longer fit the version of you you’re becoming.

This moon wants you to stop waiting for some imaginary future and begin taking steps towards the life your heart and soul truly yearn for now.

You’ll know deep down where you’re being called to go and what you’re being called to do and yes, it may feel big. But your soul wouldn’t call you into it if you weren’t ready.

This is your once-in-a-blue-moon moment to believe in yourself, stretch beyond what feels comfortable, trust your path and take the leap.

Just like the Sagittarius archer, draw back your bow, take aim for what you want and go for it.

The Taurus new moon is a powerful reminder that we The Taurus new moon is a powerful reminder that we cannot hear the guidance or receive and anchor in the new energies and frequencies coming in when we are in a state of dysregulation or high alert.

The world is getting quicker and louder, and many of us are being pulled in too many different directions by too many different demands on our time, energy and attention, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, overloaded and agitated.

This moon is asking us to consciously slow down, unplug from the noise of the outside world and take back our attention from anywhere it’s scattered. Because when our attention is scattered, our power and awareness leak, making it easier to feel lost, uncertain and disconnected from ourselves.

This moon is asking us to root deeply into ourselves, regulate our nervous systems and reconnect to our own wisdom, because only from a grounded and rooted place can we truly receive and anchor in the new frequencies and possibilities trying to come through. 

How are you being called to slow down and reconnect to yourself under this moon?

No flowers.
No food.
No Spring magic.

Bealtaine blessings! šŸŒøšŸŒæšŸ§ššŸ¼ In the Celtic lands, the Bealtaine blessings! šŸŒøšŸŒæšŸ§ššŸ¼ In the Celtic lands, the ancient festival of Bealtaine marks the start of the summer season.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Traditionally Bealtaine did not have a fixed date, though it has come to be celebrated by many in modern times on the first of May (and here in Ireland, this week has indeed very much felt like our first glimpse of summer).⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
At this time of year we celebrate the greening, fertility, and abundance of the natural world. The land is bursting with life all around us, renewed from the long sleep of winter.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Much like the festival of Samhain, which sits opposite from Bealtaine on the ever-turning wheel of the year, this is a liminal time when the veil between our physical realm and the spiritual Otherworld thins.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
It is said here in Ireland that the SĆ­dhe, the fairy folk, are more likely pass through the fairy forts, ancient burial mounds, and other ā€œthin placesā€ at this time of year (and folks who wander near these places may likewise find themselves wandering into the Otherworld).⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Many of the rituals performed during this festival are protective in nature.⁣ Perhaps the most time-honored of these rites is the Bealtaine bonfire šŸ”„ ⁣If you are unable to light a large fire, candle magic is a good option as well.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
This energy makes Bealtaine a potent time for spirit work, hedge crossing (i.e. trance journeying), and divination. ⁣Similarly, you may have noticed your dreams becoming more vivid, or you might even experience prophetic or lucid dreams. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
In my own practice, getting out onto the land to connect with the local spirits is one of the most important aspects of this day.⁣ I gather herbs and flowers, have a picnic, sing, dance, and share offerings with the local spirits of place šŸŒ€
