Can Joy and Grief Happen Together? The Aquarius Super Moon!

· ·

Happy Motivational, Magnanimous, Melodious, Mirthful, Magical, Marvellous, Muliebrity, Manifesting Monday!

I laughed so frigging hard last week as I used the word “Moist” in the greeting and I had quite a few people email in saying – ewwwww!  

I don’t know about you, but if someone offers me “a muffin” or “a moist muffin”, I know which one I’m grabbing and snarfling down.  Moist all the way baby!

This is probably the last reading until September as all sorts of wonderful shifts, creation and changes are happening in the background and so I’m being guided to focus there.

So if you want to keep up to date with all the new things are going to be happening and all the yumminess – make sure you are part of our email community!

Okay my darlings with July coming to a close we are going to explore Joy and Grief and the first of the two Super Moons of August.  Are you ready?  You comfie and settled?

Before we start, let me ask a question (actually two).  

What does Joy feel like for you?  What are the sensations and where does it sit in your body?

What does Grief feel like for you?  What are the sensations that flood up and where does it sit in your body?

Both Joy and Grief are strong emotions and they land in the body and the psyche in different ways, but they are both intense, oftentimes overwhelming and in your face.  

Now you may be thinking to yourself – mmmm, Jenny WTF, but be willing to dance with me, okay?

I wear multiple hats in my work and I love all of them as they blend deliciously together and all interweave.

Therapist, Coach, Spiritual Counsellor, Lay Chaplain, Witch, Business Owner.  

This last couple of weeks in my Lay Chaplain role I have had the honour and delight of co-creating three radically different wedding ceremonies for 3 radically different couples.  

Weddings are joyful, right?  They are filled with promise, hope, commitment and love.  Yet interestingly enough, all of these couples are having to learn how to juggle both Grief and Joy at the same time.

One couple, the bride to be, is having to put her best friend and most amazing cat of 18 years down, two weeks before the ceremony.  

The second couple, the bride’s father, died suddenly in November, her touchstone in her family of origin. And a few weeks prior to the ceremony she had to drive for 3 days with her young son to scatter his ashes where his father and brother were scattered.  

The third couple, the groom, found out that his stalwart and supportive mother has an incurable disease and may not even be alive for their ceremony.

On a personal note I have found this “most interesting” as with it being July I am feeling a lot of grief as this week is my glorious big sister Fi’s birthday and next Monday is the anniversary of her death day.  

Yet there is Joy in helping co-create glorious meaningful moments for these amazing couples, as well as holding the space and fully understanding the grief they are feeling.

There is also the balance of Joy and Grief for myself as my wonderful brother in law will be here from the UK in a few weeks and we are going to scatter my sister’s ashes in the creek where my father’s ashes went and in the ocean.

So dear one, remember if you are juggling Joy and Grief it’s important to first face the complexity of the situation. Identify those bitter-sweet emotions of losing a cherished loved while at the same time appreciating the value of life, the joy.

And let’s be honest, it’s normal and common to hold opposing feelings at the same time, oftentimes with feelings that are layered with contradictions.

Despite being seemingly opposite emotions, joy and grief are interconnected aspects of the human experience. Both play essential roles in shaping our emotional landscape and influencing our interactions with the world around us.

Remind yourself, it’s okay and It takes practice to learn how to let seeming opposites coexist within us. 

So let’s talk about the Aquarius SuperMoon that arrives on August 1st, which brings up these emotions as well!

(Aren’t you thrilled!)

This is the first of 2 Full Moons in August, as a lunar cycle is 29.5 days, this means we are set for another Full Moon on August 30th, a Blue Moon in the sign of Pisces.

Both of these Full Moons will be Super Moons, meaning they will be closer to Earth, and we will feel their effects more strongly.

Having two Full Super Moons in the same month indicates a strong pull to release, detox, let go, and walk away from all that is no longer resonant with our being.  

So what does that look like for  you?

The Aquarius Full Moon on August 1st is the perfect entrance point to this journey of creating space. It holds a sweet, healing vibration, guiding us to gently and lovingly prepare to let go of all that is heavy.

We may find painful emotions, heartbreaks, grief, and disappointments rising to the surface. 

Many of you have shared that the energy has felt very emotional, deep and at some points overwhelming.  

Writing things out on paper, talking things through with a friend, seeking help, or simply taking the time to have a conversation with our mental chatter can bring some relief.

This is the time to ground, be gentle with your gorgeous self and just allow all the feels to flood up and use some of the techniques above, don’t keep the feels locked in your heart, body or mind, okay?

Let’s crack on with the reading shall we?

When I asked the guides who they wanted to use to share with you this week, they chose these glorious guides.

So darling one, just take a moment and breathe.  If you are holding any heaviness, allow it to soften as you breathe.  If you are feeling in need of support and love, hold those energies in your mind’s eye and invite them in, along with Joy.  The Joy of being here in this moment, the Joy of breathing, the Joy of the sun filtering through the leaves of the trees where you live.

With that energy swirling.  Take another deep breath and pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look…..

AWAKENING ANCIENT WISDOM

Deep inner knowing is emerging within me.

The Universe wants you to know that the wisdom of your ancestors, your predecessors and all of history exists deep within you.  

Whether you realise it or not an inner portal is opening as this sacred information pours into your consciousness.

You have always possessed innate knowledge, but at this juncture, simply by being still, you are able to access it with even greater perception.

Profound enlightenment is growing within you, even if you are not aware of it.

Trust and know that within you is a deep wise being, and your wisdom is supportive and helpful to others – even if you are questioning whether to share it.  

Pay attention to the coincidences, signs, and synchronicities around you.  

To understand a dream, sign, or synchronistic event, ask yourself:  If this symbolised a message from the Ancients, what would it be?  How can I access even more wisdom within myself?  How can the wisdom of the past help my present and my future?

SHARING OF YOURSELF

I am an incredibly generous being.

You are being invited to share from the depths of your soul.

Allow others to see your essence and feel your radiance.  If you give with the thought that it’s something you must do as a duty or sacrifice, you may feel depleted.

However, if you give with the belief that there’s no scarcity of energy, funds, or joy, the Universe will pour an abundance of these things into your life.

Don’t expect to receive something in return – rather, be generous just because it feels right.

You can only give as much as your capacity to receive, so open yourself to receiving even more!

Share who you are with others.  Give what you have, what you do, and who you are.  

The more freely and fully you share of yourself, the more freely and fully the Universe will give to you.  

Ask yourself: How can I give even more?  What is stopping the flow within my life?  What could occur in my life if I gave without reservation?

EMERGING INTO GRACE

I open my soul to grace.

In the stillness of retreat, the gifts of Spirit will emerge at your feet.

In gratitude and thankfulness, an opening into the deepest spiritual realms is waiting for you.

Simply be ready and be open, as waves of sacred love will pour into your heart.

Allow Grace to grow within you so that, more and more, you serve as a safe sanctuary for yourself and for others.

Please remember that all is well.  You can relax and let go, for  your path is divinely guided and you don’t need to push, struggle or go it alone.

If you allow, gifts from the Creatrix will pour into your life.  Gratitude can abound.  

A spirit of Grace will unfold in your life.

Ask yourself: How does the spirit of grace want to work in my life?  What has blocked it from filling my life in the past?  If I truly let go and open myself to grace, what will unfold?

Mmmm, great questions, great guidance.  So my delicious one, as we close out the month of July I wish you calm, joy and balance.  As we encounter the first Full Moon of August I wish for you to release the weight you feel the need to carry, whether it is mental, emotional, spiritual, or physical.  

I am going to take some time and space for the next month to honour my sister, visit with my brother in law, and how I work is changing. Gosh, I have been doing these readings for 10 years! So if you want to be kept updated on what‘s being created (which is fabulous), make sure you are on our glorious email community list.

So I will see you in September! (Unless my guides are adamant I do a reading!  Lol).  

Massive hugs and squeezes gorgeous ones.  

Possibilities and the Buck Moon.

· ·

Happy Mysterious, Marvellous, Musing, Magickal, Mellifluous, Manifesting Monday!

How was your Solstice?  Did you take some time to soak up the sun’s energy and light your inner flame?  The things that make you feel filled with passion, hope and joy?  I hope so!

I took the day off work and the whole day was splendidly delicious.  A couple of the ways I celebrated was to go for a walk in the woods and watch the sunbeams dance amidst the myriad of green branches and light up the moss.  

Then, down to the ocean, the same spot where my sister and I visited 5 years ago and celebrated Solstice.  

The same spot where the Solstice intention I set then came to pass exceptionally quickly, and changed my life in a way I couldn’t imagine.  

There I offered up the beautiful Sun Wheel that I had woven of ivy, St. John’s wort, ocean spray and feverfew – all filled with my releases and my intentions.  It was incredibly powerful to cast it on the ocean and watch it gently float further and further from shore, as it slowly unravelled.

Yesterday, we had a glorious Solstice gathering within Creatrix Circle, and I will say I love the women that are in this circle.  They blow my hair back with their openness, their vulnerability and their depth.

And for all those who have emailed and messaged saying that they missed the open spots for the Solstice Reading Special and will be another one – the answer is possibly at the Equinox, we shall see.  

So let’s talk about Possibilities shall we?

I bring up Possibility as with the Solstice just passed, this is the time to really look inwards and outwards and see what you can create, manifest, call into being or try.

I was listening to something the other day and a Chinese Medical Practitioner shared that when someone dies of old age what is really happening is their heart stops believing in Possibilities.

So when someone dies of old age, their heart no longer sees possibilities for that lifetime and their spirit departs.

Sit with that for a minute.  Mull the word Possibilities around in your mind for a moment.

On a deep and tangible level Possibility opens our heart to the experience of life.  

Possibility is the very thing that makes life worth living. That gives our Spirit something to live for on this planet.

The opposite of Possibility is when we feel stagnant, stuck, trapped or confused.  Which we all experience at some point or another and is one of the most blaugh feelings in the world.

However, what is happening here is your Spirit is asking you to perceive Possibility again.

Possibility is asking this question – “What opportunities are here for me?”

Possibility is looking at a dead end and seeing that the path continues.  You may not know where it’s going, but it’s there waiting for you to see it and take a step onto it.

Possibility opens our heart to the truth of life’s wonder and connects us back to where we are meant to be, which is allowing the Divine to dance with us.  

Possibility opens the portal of our perception.

…….and most often times our perception is rather limited.  

When we are in the mindset of Possibility we are able to see new ideas, innovations, ways of being that we couldn’t see before.

So ask yourself this question – “In my dream of dreams what would be possible for me?”

The minute we step out of our daily routine and rut we are opening ourselves up to greater Possibilities.  

So are you willing this week to play with Possibilities?

Possibilities and the Solstice energy tie in deliciously with the Buck Moon energy which is coming in on July 3rd.

The spiritual meaning of the Buck Moon is a powerful time for abundance, strength, passion and possibilities.  

This moon is a lovely time to reflect on your life and decide what steps you’d like to take next. What vistas are you willing to perceive in your life? What are you open to?

Make time for fun and joy!

Turn off technology and be present in the joyous season of summer. 

Find activities that fill up your soul with happiness and pleasure as this is when possibilities come flooding in.

So with all of that chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to the guides and cards and asked who wanted to show and shine – the deck that came out loud and proud this week is Love Your Inner Goddess Oracle.  Perfect!  As we could all do with loving ourselves a wee bit more and being a tad more gentle and kind whilst we open up to all the delicious possibilities that are available to us.  

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them – “These guides have come to help you awaken and express your divine feminine spirit, to live from your heart, to empower your true self – and to discover your sacred rebel within, to say no to the voices of fear and hate and become a voice for love, truth and spirit on the earth. 

Living as a soul, with truth, takes real courage in this world.  We are often taught to follow the rules and be a good boy or girl – and that if we do this, everything will be OK.  Your inner goddess thinks that is a bunch of nonsense.  She wants so much more for you.  She wants you to live a beautiful divine destiny.  She will show you how to be a loving rebel, breaking the rules that go against your heart and soul, changing the game and playing from the heart.  She’ll show you how to live the life that is meant only for you.  You are meant to stir up healing change and be a voice for what is wise, loving and true. 

There are issues in our own lives and the world that need to change, that need to be healed.  Your inner goddess knows how to bring about healing change with love, playfulness, courage and dignity.  She is a fearless minx who will help you dance, love, storm and laugh your way into a more beautiful world, created from the heart. “ 

Seriously, the perfect guides for this time.  Woosah!

So gorgeous one, breathe.  Just breathe, BE and allow yourself to relax, your mind to calm, your breath to slow and ask your wise inner self – what do I need to know this week.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at your heartstrings – don’t let your mind pick!

If you need help with getting into the flow, there’s a lovely guided visualisation for you.  

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

BRIGHT DESTINY

To become truly yourself, shining your divine beauty and light, you will go through a process of releasing what is no longer right and true for you. 

Like the caterpillar who sheds the chrysalis when it is time to emerge as the butterfly, you will let go of the person you once thought you needed to be.  

This can feel freeing, exciting.  It can also seem frightening.  

You may feel crazy sometimes, trying to hold onto a past that is no longer available to you and grasping for a future that is yet to be.  

Sometimes, it can feel like a dark night of the soul, filled with questioning and confusion.  

Others may not understand what is happening, and you may feel as though you can’t really explain it, either.  In such times, we have to trust that all the changes and uncertainty are part of a process of growth – letting go in order to open up to something amazing and new.  

This is happening for you now.  You don’t have to be afraid.  You are going through this because you are ready for it, even if you think you’re not.  

There is a loving reason for all of it, even if you cannot see that right now.  

Put your faith in the mystery.  Trust that the answers will come – and so will the joy of all that you have grown into.  Stay true to your path and know that you have a bright destiny ahead.

For now, let the process happen.  Fear can make us try to force something that isn’t quite ready yet.  Don’t try to impose a meaning, take action or understand it all prematurely.  Don’t think too hard! 

 It’s OK to relax and trust that the moment of clarity will come when the time is right.

PRIORITY OF PURPOSE

Making a choice can be hard, as if to say yes to one thing, you have to say no to fifteen other things!  Remember that saying no is just saying, “not right now”, rather than “never”.  

There is a higher plan for your life that includes all of your passions.  You can do it all, but just not all at once.  

Your soul knows how to build your most inspired and beautiful divine life, as though it were building an extraordinary temple for your spirit.  

It knows that the foundations need to be prepared and the walls built before the windows, doors and skylight can be installed.  The roof may be absolutely one-of-a-kind incredible, but if you try to lay the roof before you’ve built the walls, you are going to have some problems!

There is a certain order to how things need to happen, which the soul intuitively knows.  

That is why listening to the soul and trusting your inner guiding voice makes more sense than trying to accomplish everything straight away and ending up with so much less than you deserve for all that effort.  

Every moment of patience and sacrifice that you make now is stored up by the Universe as a sweet grace that you will receive back later, as everything falls into place so perfectly.  

Tune in and trust your soul to show you how to gain everything you ever dreamed of, one simple step at a time.  

EARTH GODDESS

You have beautiful dreams and wonderful visions of what life could be.  It is not enough to imagine them.  You want to live them!  This is exactly how you are meant to feel.  

For that to happen, you must practise feeling grounded, taking practical earthly steps, one at a time, to bring your dreams to life.  The Universe will send so much help your way, but you are the one who must take the steps.  Spirit cannot do that for you.  

Even if you are not sure how your biggest, boldest dreams can come together, you can still ask yourself, “What is it that I can do now?”

Sometimes, it will be an obvious action that you can take, and, sometimes you will need to pray and meditate and ask for the way forward to be shown.  

When you can do something, do it.  When you cannot, rest and wait for your intuition to nudge you when the time is right to take action. 

Remember, you are an Earth Goddess.  You have the power to manifest your visions, to bring your beautiful ideas to life in the world.  This is what you are here to do.  Remember to love yourself enough to recognise your creative power and use it joyfully each day.

There’s a fantasy that wants to become reality for you.  Don’t let a few gritty moments or human imperfections prevent you from experiencing the joy of heaven on Earth.  

Oh my gosh, I so love my guides and the cards.  Perfect for this time!  So my most glorious one, I wish for you a stupendous week filled with Possibilities and the energy of the Buck Moon. There will not be a reading next week as it is Canada Day here and I am going to dance with adventure and possibilities. Huge hugs!

Civic Duty and Intuitive Choices.

· ·

Happy Magickal, Marvellous, Magnificent, Musical, Mysterious Monday!

Well here we are in June and yesterday we had the glorious Strawberry Moon!  

I don’t know about you, but it’s been a full week!

My most amazing daughter Morgen and her huge, gloriously fat 8 month old baby called Callum came to visit for the week and to help celebrate the mothership’s 95th birthday.  The last time Morgen came to visit, which was in January, my housemate gave us all the plague so we spent the visit in our beds!

This time however, with the lovely weather, I juggled my work schedule and took time to play and boy did we ever.  We explored a Medieval Festival, went on multiple glorious hikes, took Callum to the petting zoo (which was more for us than him, lol).  Made jewellery together, went to all the Farmer’s markets, had a picnic in a daisy meadow and much more!

And then I managed to tweak my lower back on Thursday as I parkoured into the back of the car in a frenzy of cleaning, prior to picking up the mothership and taking her around the gardens of Government House and to a cute tea room!

By Friday everything came to a grinding slow down (totally pisses me off when that happens).   I was frigging, hobbling and bitchy as all get out which got my mind spinning to the fact that I have been “chosen” for jury selection on Thursday and if picked I can look forward to a 7 day criminal trial!

I’m sorry, I have no desire, zip, zero, zilch to sit on a jury.  None whatsoever!

When I have mentioned that to a couple of people, I am very politely reminded that it is my Civic Duty, that I should give back to my community.  Mmmmmmmm.  Well that got right up my nose. 

I have coached football (soccer) for 25 years, purely as a volunteer.  I have coached rugby, I volunteer for Hospice, Women In Need homes, Animal Shelters, and Compost Education centres.  

I vote, I obey most laws but I don’t believe we have a Justice system, I believe we have a legal system and I have no desire to partake of it to be honest.  

Let alone the fact that I can’t sit still for a whole day, or that my 23 year old son, Rowan, has his convocation for completing his degree with honours through a pandemic (and I am not going to miss that), or a 3 month old puppy that needs to be let out every hour and a half.  And the list goes on.  

So no, I have no desire to be selected for jury duty!

Thus, I did what any normal person would do and hung up my macrame swing that I made the other year and talked to the Full Moon as she beamed through the branches of the Garry Oaks above me. I took some time to ask myself some questions that really tie into this last Full Moon of Spring, let the breeze waft and the scent of the flowers dance around me.

It was quite delicious!

I also spent time planning out a Summer Solstice gathering and feeling into the ideas for a guide for Summer Solstice – so we will have to see how that comes through.

So let me ask, how are you feeling delicious lovely?  

With June we have an energy shift from the TENSION of May to INTUITIVE CHOICES (I love this).  

So let’s get Lena to explain it all shall we?

The theme for June is: “Intuitive Choices”

“Emotional clarity becomes more available this month as we assimilate the lessons of the recent eclipses and align ourselves with the next intuitive step. 

The theme of Intuitive Choices has everything to do with stepping into the power of trusting the heart instead of the head and allowing for our curiosity and what is choosing us to be the compass instead of a plan based on a rationalised set of responsibilities and expectations. 

There is an opportunity to settle into right timing and the magic of synchronicity and spontaneous events that feel emotionally aligned. In this energetically softer month we can begin to really feel what wants to support us and where we may be struggling down the wrong path.

Since the emotional centre is a much faster processor than the intellectual centre, we will feel into people and situations and either move away from or towards them before the mind has a chance to process the information. Trusting the intelligence of the heart is an important step if we are to reset ourselves on the path that is choosing us. You may not “know” intellectually why you are drawn to certain people, places or experiences, but if you trust that you do “know” intuitively, that is what is important. You may not be able to explain to someone why you are making a particular choice, but if you are clear about it, that is all that matters.”

I love how the emotional centre is acknowledged this month, as this is one of the things I teach in my Mastery and Manifestation course.  

Many people don’t understand that what we allow,  either from outside or from ourselves,  into our bio morphogenic bubble impacts every cell in our body and what we are able to create.

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading.

When I asked who wanted to come and guide this week I laughed as it was The Signs of the Times.  

You are being invited into a conversation with the Divine and your Higher Self that will feed your soul and reveal the very answers you are seeking.  Let go of doubt and follow the signs.

Awesome!  

Okay dear one, take a moment.  Really breathe into the place of “what is the sign I need right now”.  Let your mind chatter slow and entertain itself in a corner and ask that question again.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see shall we?

LABYRINTH

Journey

You are on your own path, and the labyrinth represents the simple fact that this journey will take you in many different directions.  Unlike in a maze, in a labyrinth there are no dead ends or wrong ways.

You will not always understand the route  you are on, but you can either choose to be confused and scared, or see it as an opportunity to learn lessons and discover strengths.

This sign encourages you to embrace where you are on your journey and resist comparing yourself to anyone else.  Listen to your intuition and use that as guidance to face any challenges.  Keep moving forward.

The gift of the journey is not the destination itself; it is the experiences and lessons learned along the way that have shaped you into a person who is prepared to reach that destination.

Like stumbling upon a labyrinth in a park or seeing one incorporated in a log, this sign is an invitation to embrace the unpredictability of your own spiritual journey and the growth that comes along with it.

Embrace self-discovery!

STARS

Divine Guidance

Looking up at the stars at night can be a magical and almost spiritual experience.  They are a reminder that we are all here on a rock, floating in the middle of a mysterious universe.  

If you are seeking direction or guidance, you will receive answers and clarity soon.  

The human experience is linked to the stars: for centuries, navigators have used them to learn where they are on Earth, astronomers have used them to learn where we are in the Universe, and astrologers have used them to help us find our place in both.

Right now, you may be unclear on different areas of your life or wondering why certain things are happening.  

Spirit is asking you to connect by setting intentions, asking for Divine Guidance, and looking up for answers.

Allow the Universe to work its magic by asking from the heart and being open to the way the answers come to you.  You will be pointed in the right direction.

The stars will tell you where you are.  Have faith in yourself!

ANCHOR

Stability

Stability and security are essential in your life at this time.  You are feeling grounded, calm, and comfortable, which is reflected in your finances, home life, work, and personal relationships.

There is tremendous mental ease that comes with knowing those areas of your life are solid.  If  you have been working to achieve a goal, the rewards will come in the form of stability.  

This sign can also represent feeling safe and protected from outside elements, which can include people, places, or things – even if the waves roll in and shake things up, you are confident in your position and your strength.

The tricky thing about anchors is that as much as they provide a stable foundation, they can also create a dynamic of complacency.  You can end up stuck, tethered to what is familiar and safe, and miss opportunities to take risks and grow.  

Continue to check in with yourself to ensure your desire for stability doesn’t end up holding you back.  

Don’t hold yourself back by clinging to the electric fence of your comfort zone!

I don’t know about you, but I love the guides that chose to come out for this week.  Have a stupendous week dear one, remember to come from your emotional centre when making choices and trust your intuition.  Huge hugs and warm sunbeams.  

Memorial Day, Are You Willing? And the Strawberry Full Moon!

· ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Marvelous, Majestic Memorial Monday. 

(To all my US friends), and happy Spring Bank holiday to all my lovely UK friends!  

Wow, May seems to have just flown by!  It just seems a hot minute ago that we were talking about the energy of this month being TENSION and pffft, the month is almost done. 

Although,  I will say I am reveling in the warm weather, the garden growth and all the amazing smelly flowers that come out and dance for us in this time of late Spring.

This weekend we celebrated the mother-ship’s 95th birthday, with a feast, family, friends, frivolities and fun.   It was so interesting to see all the different personalities meld and the cool conversations that unfolded.  

During that event, I had a great conversation with one of my boys about the book “Unfuck Yourself” (he had just discovered it recently.) 

He brought up the key phrase that can really Unfuck you……… Ready?  

Super simple, but super powerful when faced with confusion, stagnation and all the rest of that dross.  

The phrase is “AM I WILLING?” 

Am I willing to do the work to make a change?  Am I willing to get off the sofa and go to the gym to lose weight?  Am I willing to release those relationships that drain me?

AM I FUCKING WILLING TO MAKE CHANGE?  

Then interestingly enough the author goes on to say, if you can’t come up with anything to put on your AM I WILLING list.  Turn it around and ask yourself the same question in a different way “WHAT AM I NOT WILLING TO DO OR PUT UP WITH?”

For example, I am not willing to put up with this abusive relationship.  I am not willing to continually struggle.  I am not willing to be continually dismissed.  I am not willing to feel unhealthy………..  

It’s quite fascinating to play with, write down and it most certainly unravels those threads that can make you feel like you are tied up in a knot.

Dare you to try it!

This Saturday (June 3rd) we welcome in the Strawberry Full Moon.  

This is the first Full Moon since our lovely Eclipse Season and the heralding of Summer and Summer Solstice.

The Strawberry Moon of June is named for the wild and ripe strawberries that reach their peak in June. It’s believed that picking strawberries beneath the light of the moon honors the crops and ensures a bountiful yield.

Strawberries are considered a food of love, representative of the goddess Freya, and they symbolize love and luck. June’s Strawberry Moon meaning embodies the magic and fullness of life.

This is the best moment to make difficult decisions or to face responsibilities you’ve been avoiding. Start fresh and dive deep into personal growth! Remember to pace yourself, don’t burn yourself out in your excitement and enthusiasm. Evaluate your goals and intentions to make sure they are realistic and achievable.

New life, sunlight, magic, joy, and strength are everywhere. The earth and the universe are surging with enthusiasm! Your intuition is at a peak! So keep an open mind to all of life’s adventures and twists.

A delicious thing to do under this Full Moon is to go sit outside beneath the moon, or someplace quiet where you will not be disturbed. Reflect on 3 things you are grateful for right now.

Feel free to say the following chant or repeat it in your mind:

Tonight I sit beneath this Strawberry Moon feeling grateful for (say the 3 things you chose above). I’m grateful for the Moon above and the Earth below me. As the season turns I wish strength, abundance, hope, and love for myself and those I care for.

Feel the white and glowing energy of the Strawberry Moon fill you up. Then just spend the next 5-10 minutes meditating quietly.

Okay, enough chuntering – let’s crack on with the reading.  

We have glorious new guides this week!  They are your Gateway guides, they are your keys to unlocking a mystic portal into the inner knowing and ancient wisdom within you.  They can open a wondrous realm where you can explore your life and discover what destiny has in store for you.  

Are you ready? 

Take a deep breath honey, just drop into this moment and ask yourself what would it look like to be willing and to start fresh.  Allow that energy to fill your being and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

RISING ABOVE

Let go of the ordinary and step into the extraordinary.  You have potential that you haven’t even begun to tap into.  This is the time to reach higher than ever before, so do not fall down before doubt.  

Remember your true calling.  

Just as the lotus rises up out of the mud into the light, so you are rising up to even greater heights.  Sometimes this occurs naturally, and sometimes it’s an act of will.

This is the time to rise above any situation that’s not empowering.  Even if there are some people you might leave behind, let your light shine for all to see.  

Rise up and step into your potential! 

ACCEPTING WHAT IS

Accept your life in all its configurations.  Know that every moment, situation, and event has profound value….even if it doesn’t seem like it.  

Accept your inner majesty and be present.  

You are magnificent and wondrous beyond measure.  Embrace all those parts of yourself!

It is an act of both power and faith to love, honour, and accept what is.  At times it can be challenging to truly accept what’s occurring in your life.

When you do so, however, you affirm that there’s a plan for your life and that everything is working for your highest good.  

Accepting “what is” doesn’t mean that you can’t work to change it, because you can.  It does mean that there is gentle, yet profound, awareness that every experience can support your highest good and spiritual evolution.

If there is something you just can’t accept, start by gently acknowledging the fact that  you can’t accept it, don’t push it into the closet and hide it away.  

As you increase your own acceptance in life, this will help others be at peace in their own lives.

SAVOURING PLEASURE

Fill your life with people, experiences, and places that bring you delight and joy. 

Live deliciously!

Release the need to be practical in all situations.  Surround yourself with beauty and sumptuous pleasures.  

You’re not meant to solely work hard and be dutiful and diligent.  Life should be lived abundantly and fully.  Give yourself permission to be happy and experience profound gratification and gratitude.  

Embrace pleasure whenever you can.

Create personal environments that fill you with deep satisfaction.  Cherish your friendships.  Love often and deeply.  Allow your senses to be satisfied.

See, hear, taste, touch, and feel the beauty within and around you.

Drink well, eat well, and dance into the early morning hours.

Wow!  Perfect guides for this Strawberry Moon, as it’s all about embracing life, getting clear and reveling in who you are!  Wishing you a stupendous week of love, laughter and all sorts of possibilities.  Take some time under the Moon.  Big hugs and squeezes.  

Strawberry Moon Journal Prompts

What comes to mind when you think about the Full Moon in June?

The Strawberry Moon of June is named for the wild and ripe strawberries that reach their peak in June. It’s believed that picking strawberries beneath the light of the moon honors the crops and ensures a bountiful yield.

Strawberries are considered a food of love, representative of the goddess Freya, and they symbolize love and luck. June’s Strawberry Moon meaning embodies the magic and fullness of life.

This is the best moment to make difficult decisions or to face responsibilities you’ve been avoiding. Start fresh and dive deep into personal growth! Remember to pace yourself, don’t burn yourself out in your excitement and enthusiasm. Evaluate your goals and intentions to make sure they are realistic and achievable.

New life, sunlight, magic, joy, and strength are everywhere. The earth and the universe are surging with enthusiasm! Your intuition is at a peak! So keep an open mind to all of life’s adventures and twists.

The Strawberry Moon meaning is a special and sacred time to reflect on your life and make positive changes. So let’s look at some prompts to get you started.  

Strawberry Moon Journal Prompts

A great way to celebrate the Strawberry moon meaning is by journaling your thoughts and intentions. Here are some prompts to get you started:

  • How far have you come with the goals and intentions you set this last Winter? Have you achieved them?
    • If not, what obstacles can you remove that are holding you back? What patterns and routines are currently interfering with your growth? What can you do to change or alter these? Do you need to re-evaluate your intentions?
    • If yes, what can you do to set goals that bring about a deeper and more spiritually fulfilling life? How can you challenge yourself further?
  • How can you incorporate a creative talent of yours into your spirituality?
  • Do you have a Strawberry Moon or Summer Solstice altar or sacred space in your home? List any crystals, oils, candles, flowers, statues, or meaningful personal items you’ve placed in your sacred space.
  • What can you do NOW, that your future self will be grateful for this Winter or next Spring? Now is a time of growth and improvement; what do you plan to manifest for yourself?
  • Slow down and notice some of your favorite aspects during the season of the Strawberry Moon and Summer Solstice. Make a list of them and find ways to incorporate them into your life more often.
