Metaphysical

Equinox and Libra New Moon (the only one this year).

Happy Magickal, Misty, Mellifluous, Magickal, Mysterious, Manifesting Monday!

Equinox is nearly here! Equinox is nearly here! (Can you tell I love it?)

September 22nd brings in the Fall Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. For all you gorgeous beasts in the Southern Hemisphere it is Ostara. And yes the new Mabon Magickal Manual for 2022 was released on Thursday (and thank you so much for all your lovely emails sharing how you are enjoying it). And if you have no clue what I am talking about, just go check it out. No pressure.

There is also a lovely Ostara Magickal Manual for our gorgeous Southern Hemisphere friends.

When I was out hiking on the weekend and the smell of woodsmoke wafted on the cool early morning breeze, it was the perfect reminder that we are transitioning from summer to fall. And yes, I know many people love summer and I do enjoy it, but give me Fall and Spring any day!

The leaves will soon all be resplendent in the most delicious arrays of oranges, yellows, crimson reds and then will drop slowly to the ground to offer nutrition to the seeds that you will plant come Spring.

I always use the change of seasons as an opportunity to pause and reflect.

It’s the perfect time to reflect on your life, your Self, and any growth & changes you’ve gone through over the year so far.

When we look closely at the energy present in each season & what’s happening in nature, we’re able to see the personal growth work the Earth is really supporting us in right now.

Because, nature WANTS us to grow and expand with ease and grace, and sometimes, like the trees we need to release and turn inwards.

When changes occur in nature, they resonate within our own spirit. Deep in our bones, in our DNA and in the whispers of memories we have forgotten. There was a time when we were deeply connected to these rhythms, but, over time, technology and our modern culture has separated us from those celestial vibes.

Aligning yourself with the cycles of nature as a practice can be exceptionally transformative.

Here is a simple, easy ritual that you can do on Mabon (Equinox). Do you have apples in your house? Good, why not take a moment and pause.

I personally, am taking the day of Equinox off, going and playing, taking that moment to move into ritual and celebration as it is also my birthday!

On Saturday the 25th (whilst still in the Equinox energy of balance and gratitude), we welcome in the New Moon in Libra, which is the only New Moon this year in this sign. The New Moon is all about a new cycle, and the Libra New Moon is all about finding ways to reestablish balance that has been lost.

Finding a sense of balance allows us to deal with life’s issues smoothly, and helps us to discover the peaceful neutral point from which clarity, common sense, and cooperation come from. It allows us to see where we are over giving and where we are resistant to receiving. (Hmmmm, how many of us have done that?)

“The cosmic music that flows from this New Moon is sweet, harmonious, and aligned to help us vibrate with our true and highest Self.

Under the dark night of the New Moon, ask yourself, how and where is my energy best used? Where can I be of greatest service?”

If working with the moons is new to you, don’t fret. You can explore New Moon energy here.

Okay, enough chuntering on. Let’s crack on with the reading, shall we?

When I asked the guides which cards they wanted to use, they picked the glorious Foxfire guides. Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them.

Welcome to the Kitsune, the shapeshifters, the foxes and the magickal beings of immense and divine power, rich with Foxfire light. They are here to help you. They care, in their wily way, about interacting with us. They wish to light your way with Foxfire. They yearn to connect with you, to rekindle the sacred flame within you. For you. This is their promise to you.

For you are like the ancient wanderer in the forest who has at some time been very kind, for no good reason, and at no small inconvenience to yourself. And Kitsune have noticed this kindness, and so now they come to you, with their messages and their blessings, with the rice of abundance and the ancient flame with its power to bring us back to life.

They wish for you to know the wisdom and the secrets and the powers that lie within you. These are the grains of rice that will feed your soul with golden light, with Foxfire, whose origins are ancient, until you shine once more like the bright soul you are.

Yummers!!! What glorious guides to help you shine!

So dear heart, be here, just this moment. Don’t worry about the other moments, they will or won’t happen. Just breathe into this very moment. Take a glorious deep breath in, and then a long sigh out through your mouth. Let your shoulders drop, let your jaw relax and breathe again in the same way.

I then invite you to see in your mind’s eye that place of balance, that place of neutrality, calm and ease. What does it feel like for you? What do you have to release to come to that place? What might you have to change to walk in that flow daily? Breathe that all in. Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Come see gorgeous one.

THE SENTINEL

Within the world you dwell in, a storm is brewing. It is visible to many, so far, and most are completely unaware of its approach. They no longer notice the fall and rise of the air about them, the tightening of the pressure, or the release of rain, for they dwell within their glass towers and longer feel a part of the elements and the dance between them.

But you do, Seeker, and you are aware that there is a force gathering. What its outcome will be, how it will break, and what it will do are still mysteries, but you can prepare for this storm approaching. Others will not listen.

Others will see you as “negative” or “odd” when you inform them of what it is you are preparing for. Regardless, prepare anyway. Watch. And take care of what it is you need to do. This is nothing to be fearful of. It is simply advanced knowledge of a storm – and storms can damage, or they can pass by overhead and clear the air.

The Sentinel of the Skies, this dragon being, invites you now to see things from his magickal perspective – to go high above buildings and the everyday, and see the implications of the change that is coming.

Foresight is a gift and enables you to look out for those who will listen. Know that when the storm passes – for they all will – you will be standing strong and able to help others, if necessary and continue with your life. You are being watched over – the Sentinel will stand with you, always.

BRINGER OF CHANGE

You are not as they expected you to be, are you, dear one? They thought you would be one who was more like themselves, who would be a part of the predesigned patterns and the wave after wave of people who keep the world travelling in the same direction.

But you, friend, were different. It was not intentional, nor was it a reaction – it simply was that something new was born into the world when you were brought forth. So now you are releasing the special light and qualities that only you can bring to this planet. And you will find that there are others like you. Beautiful souls who seem at times to not belong and who are sometimes rejected.

Yet, part of your creation, and part of your soul’s journey, is not to come here to be a part of what already existed. It was to come here to change what already was. And now you are at the moment where you will show who you are, all of it, without shame or fear.

You will no longer fear rejections or scorn or even the fear of disappointing those you love. You, all of you, are here to give to the world something that is needed, to offer it medicine, so that we all, human, animal, winged ones, all beings are released into the freedom to be who they came here to be.

You are flying free, now, and in turn, you will free others. So, bring to us your own unique vision and energies and experiences, and teach us how to become who we are all meant to be.

BENEATH THE SURFACE

There is much within the world that can be misread when we look upon the surface. When we see with over-accustomed eyes the world around us, we cannot truly “see” what is there. We need experience and depth and perceptive attention when we seek to truly know something.

Go beneath the surface, which this beautiful mermaid is preparing to do. It can be easy to glide above and to avoid the depths or to fail to see the true power of something. Because we look upon the ocean and see its calm, we can underestimate its strength. And this is what you are being asked to do – do not go lightly into deep emotional waters, but know their strength and life-changing power by diving beneath the surface. Know that as you go deep, you will encounter currents and the power of the ocean – the emotional world – above you. But it is not the time to stay on the surface.

So many others feel this is adequate – and their lives are in many ways satisfactory. But to know the true potential of yourself and of your life, you will need to take a deep breath and dive deep.

There is no need for fear or for panic – remain calm, no matter how challenging it can seem to be beneath the world in which others seem too content to live.

This life is not for you, friend, and nor are the ailments and personal stuning of growth that others experience, over and over, because they never found a way to go beneath the apparent nature of reality and go deep within. Know you are seeing the truth about your own soul. Explore the hidden depths of life. That is a reward worth the risk.

Wowzer, some delicious energy and guidance there! So gorgeous one take some time this week to think about what areas of your life need a bit more balance, use the energy of this incredible Equinox to do some reviewing and releasing and play! Grab your Mabon Magickal Manual and enjoy the crispness, the smells, the beginning of the leaves changing and there will be no reading next week as I plan on celebrating all weekend! Have a fabulous next couple of weeks and huge hugs and squeezes!

When Things Feel a bit Off…… And How can Chiron and Equinox help you?

Jenny Heston · 3:38 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Moony, Manifesting, Marvellous, Majestic Monday!

How was your Full Moon?

Did you take some time to explore the energies and how to create your own ritual? Some of you have shared that you loved the Harvest Moon Ritual, and I’m so very glad.

As when we look at the Moon through a symbolic, psychospiritual, archetypal, or even purely energetic lens, the moon is a very real presence in our lives that can help orient us on the spiritual path.

So why not use it as a spiritual tool that you have in your toolbox?

And speaking of spiritual tools we have Equinox (aka Mabon) rapidly approaching on September 22nd. I am wiggly, piggly, jiggly like a labrador puppy as I love this time of year and most certainly this celebration and the energy that comes with it.

Mabon is often referred to as “Witches Thanksgiving” (no, it doesn’t mean you have to be a witch). It means it’s the second harvest festival on the wheel of the year, a time to give thanks for the bounty in your life, to release the things that you may have outgrown and to be grateful and count your blessings! Yes? Counting our Blessings is a powerful practice and something I do every morning in the woods, on the beach, in the midst of a golf course!

And yes! There will be a Mabon Magickal Manual with everything in it to empower you as we change seasons. She will be released this week, probably on Thursday. Thus, if you are part of our wonderful email community – you will certainly get first dibs to her!

Well, I don’t know about you but it’s been a heck of a week.

It’s as if time sped up exponentially and things felt rather tight, and that there wasn’t enough space or time to get them all done! (Most annoying!)

Also, the Queen dying!

Yes, I know she was 96, but think about it if you are under the age of 70 and living in a Commonwealth country (or the UK), she has always been part of your life. She was on the stamps, you would see her royal visits, read about her in the paper or whatever it was.

She was a constant.

So yet again, another massive change in the last few years that has been full of so many changes!

Top that off with the fact Mercury just turned retrograde, along with 6 other planets plus Chiron.

So a couple of things to note.

Mercury retrograde helps you slow down to re-evaluate your life. (Which ties into the energy of the Fall Equinox of balance, evaluation, gratitude and harvest).

And if you know absolutely nothing about Chiron, let me tell you it is often referred to as “The Wounded Healer”.

I’ve been doing a lot of research, exploring and working with Chiron for the last few years and it is frigging empowering!

Now you may be thinking to yourself “Jenn, I’m not a healer, I’m an accountant.”

If you are in any field of work, life, volunteering where you interact with another human being, animal or plant – you have the opportunity to show up and share your glorious healing capacities.

Whether, as in the case of the accountant, the number healing, the forward planning, the support and guidance. Yes?

So if you understand that Chiron represents the primal wound for you and shows how you can heal others. The wound and its healing can happen at any or all levels – physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

To heal Chiron’s wound is to move into wholeness and acceptance of your innate goodness.

To begin with you tend to focus on the negative side of Chiron – the wound and its suffering. As Martin Lass says, “we express the negative and repress the positive.” So you don’t tend to notice the gifts of Chiron until you can grow towards them on your healing journey. This means facing the wound and looking into your inner darkness and pain. Only then will the wound begin to heal.

Healing means balancing all sides of the Self. It doesn’t necessarily mean getting rid of the wound altogether, but accepting it and seeing the perfection of your life as it is. In the end, the gift is the wound, and healing is the result of love.

Okay, I could spend hours talking about Chiron, but we have a reading to crack on with.

When I nattered with my guides and they picked the cards I grinned like a Cheshire Cat. I love these delicious guides. As we all need Blessings!

So please let me introduce you to Blessed Be as these guides may be new to you “May these cards and guides offer you ways to enter into deeper appreciation of your life and its manifold blessings. May you have hope, understanding and kindness. And most of all, may you know deep within your soul, that thou art blessed.”

The crystals that were wiggling are:- Black Moonstone – for “feeling”, and understanding via intuition and emotional “thoughts”, rather than via intellectual reasoning. Smoky Quartz – is amazing for balancing and grounding as well as helping you to vibrate at your fullest potential as it releases negative emotions, and last but not least – Carnelian – stabilising, it restores vitality and motivation, and stimulates creativity. It gives courage, promotes positive life choices, dispels apathy and motivates for success.

Okay so let’s get centred shall we. Just gently breathe yourself back into your body, be here now, just at this moment. I invite you to see in your mind’s eye the Divine Mother (whatever she looks like to you), breathe. Then imagine her putting one hand on your feet and one hand on your head and saying “Everything between my two hands is beloved and blessed by the Goddess.”Breathe that blessing in, allow it to swirl through you and know how loved you are. Then when you’re ready; pick the card or cards that wish to bless you this week.

Did you pick?

Shall we go see?

A BLESSING ON A BATTLE THAT CANNOT BE AVOIDED

“A blessing to help you through a conflict that must be faced with courage and compassion for all involved.”

Battles in our lives are not always the way we have seen them depicted. They may not be a fight, or a confrontation, or the clash of swords swinging. Most of us do not want the battle, we want the peace, and to talk and parlay our way through the differences and the difficulties within our lives.

Many times we may walk away, knowing that the battle will bring more damage than we can face. And at other times, we must walk through the fires of confrontation and go into a battle we did not want, but which can no longer be avoided.

So, this is a blessing on those who are to face a battle they wished was not theirs to fight, but it has become clear that they have no choice but to confront, to bring out their arms, and to fight. It may be with the law, it may with wits.

It may be through speaking your truth, and it may be by refusing to accept what another has determined is enough for you. It may be with a challenge, or a condition, or an injustice or a cruelty.

Whatever the nature and form of the battle before you, accept now this blessing upon you, for your courage. For your reluctance to bring aggression into the world. For your refusal to run. For your determination to see this story through, and for the belief you now have in yourself and whatever cause it is that you now stand up for.

For your warrior’s heart, which is blessed with courage, and strength, of the feeling of fear, yet the ability to stand your ground. For the swinging of the sword, and the raising of the shield, For the quiet in the chaos that you will find, and for the sacrifice you will make, in order to see this through.

You are blessed, and your warrior spirit is rising, and it is blessed, for you are no aggressor or foolish conqueror. You are a soul who will no longer run from what stands between you, and the rest of your beautiful life.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING FOR UNITY WHERE ONCE THERE WAS DIVISION

“A blessing to help accept the difference between you, so that they inspire conversation and exploration, interest and discovery, rather than separation and rejection.”

May the division between you be left behind as you both begin to build a bridge of light formed from the willingness within your hearts to find your way back to a common vision. May the differences be worked through with the highest good of all concerned the foremost goal. May the differences that remain be ones that bring spice and change and agility to your ways and thinking, and may the bridge that is built between you all be strong and sturdy, lasting through the ages.

May the newfound unity recognise that there is not sameness, but a oneness of vision and a weaving together of dissimilar threads to create a glorious picture of paradox and complementary opposites. Let the antagonism and focused-upon rejection give way to humility – a willingness to listen, and may those who are unquiet and bellicose in their rumblings and threats be stilled by the knowledge that all will gain when peace is found.

May the love that can be born between people find its way through the fear. May the sense that when together, more can be achieved than when stubbornly apart, melt away the fences and walls that hold us from each other. Let us live and let live, give and take, share and receive, and come to an understanding. And let none of us involved in the bringing together of separate parties set alight that bridge.

Instead, let us quietly, surely and with intentions matching actions build the way to reach each other once again. United, so much can be done. We can raise each other up, and as you do, each of you who brings your heart to this task of healing will stand firm upon the solid ground you are now building. Unity is yours, friend.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING ON YOUR DAY

“A blessing to bring awareness, to shape and set the energy of the day, and to frame it with light and the possibilities of healing, adventure and gratitude. “

May your soul feel called by the song of the day. May this day be gentle and good, clear and sure, filled with grace and gentle reminders of your own divinity. May the people you meet this day show generosity of spirit, be hospitable and welcoming, and open and candid in all their dealings. May the sky be filled with blue and white, may the green beneath your feet be solid and soft to walk upon. May the rain fall soft and nourishing, and trees whisper to you the secrets that you need to know.

May any challenges you encounter find an answering strength and courage within you, and when you come to your rest this night, may you remember the many blessings this day held, and account for them with the Gods, and be thankful for each of them, no matter how small.

BLESSED BE

So my delicious lovely, I wish you an amazing day, an incredible week and the blessing to wrap you in a blanket of love. Keep your eyes peeled for the Mabon Magickal Manual, and remember to slow it down, play with the shadows and come back into wholeness. Big hugs and squeezes and see you next week!

Harvest Full Moon and Ritual.

Jenny Heston · 9:16 am ·

This Saturday, September 10th we welcome in the Harvest Moon or the Corn Moon, which is in the sign of Pisces. This is the Full Moon that is closest to the Equinox (which is September 22nd).

Each Full Moon brings with it the energy of the astrological sign that it is in. However, I will be very clear here – I am not an Astrologer! I use astrology in my own life and with clients, but if you asked me to decipher your transits and all that, I would look at you as if you were bonkers!

(Although I can recommend some incredible astrologers to you, who make sense of it all).

Thus, I often bring the Seasonal Lens to my Moon work.

What does that mean?

For me, it’s more about where a moon falls on the wheel of the year.

Each moon cycle has a distinct natural energy. So when I talk about the moon cycles it’s all about the seasonal energy each moon holds, as well as some of the astrological energy.

Ask yourself – what is nature doing around you right now?

How does that make you feel?

Is nature stretching & growing or are things drawing inward?

Because if we are honest and tuned in, whatever’s happening in nature is happening within each of us too! And you can see the personal growth work you’re experiencing simply by watching what’s happening in nature.

The spiritual meaning of this glorious Harvest Moon is one of balance and abundance. It’s a time to honor and appreciate your home; a time for reflection and gratitude.

We are beginning to turn inward during this time of balance; as is the natural world around us. We feel the coming of the darkness and are pulled towards our spiritual side in a new way.

Now is a lovely time to realign with your spirit, soul, and Self.

So let’s create a ritual that embodies gratitude, the abundance of the harvest season and the release of summer.

Remember the steps for creating your own ritual.

What you will need:

A pen
A piece of paper
A candle
Matches or a lighter
A fireproof container, bowl or cauldron
A large jar filled with water (with a lid)
A crystal that resonates for your intention.

On the night of the full moon write down an aspect of yourself or your life that you need to surrender on a piece of paper or something/someone you need to forgive. Remember, forgiveness is a super power!

For example, you might write “I let go of my shame,” “I let go of my perfectionism,” “I let go of the friends that do not support my highest good,” “I let go of my past,” “I let go of my self-destructive tendencies,” etc.

Prepare a fireproof bowl, container or cauldron and place it in your sacred space.

Open your full moon ritual by visualizing the light of the moon encircling you.

Smudge and cleanse.

When you are ready, begin to burn your piece of paper over your fireproof container. Watch as the paper curls up into ash. You may like to say within your mind or out loud “I release this, back to whence it came to be transmuted and transformed and so it is. “

When the paper has turned completely to ash, scatter the ash to the wind. Alternatively, you can bury the ash. When you are finished, say within or out loud “it is done, it is done, it is done.”

(Note: if you are burning paper indoors, please ensure you practice caution and common-sense.)

Now take your jar, fill it with water, pop your crystal in it (please make sure that your crystal is consumable and will not dissolve in water.)

Pop a lid on your jar and find a place where it can bathe in moonlight.

If you can sit in the moonlight with your jar, all the better.

Hold your jar between your hands and pour in all your gratitude. What are you grateful for? Who are you grateful for? What makes you feel splendiferous? Whisper those into your jar.

Then hold it between your hands close to your heart and say out loud:

“As I sit beneath the Full Moon tonight,

I’m filled with an illuminating and positive light,

I am grateful for_______ and __________,

I honor these last days of summer and warmth,

May this next season bring love, growth, and joy,

to myself and those I love.”

Then leave your moon water to bathe overnight and all your gratitude wishes to be infused with the Divine Feminine of the Moon Goddess.

Crisis, Mercury Retrograde, Full Moon, and Equinox. Phew!

Jenny Heston · 3:23 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Muddling, Miraculous, Musical, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

And it’s the first Monday of September, and here in North America it is a Labour Day weekend, which means a 3 day weekend – let the glorious play time unfold! Which is what I’ve been doing!

I got dressed up for a fabulous outdoor adventure room experience themed as Alice in Wonderland, gathered ocean treasures, played in the garden, painted and started teaching myself how to draw a crow! (And believe me, drawing without using words is not normally my forte).

I know I don’t normally pop in on a long weekend with a reading, however ……..

With Mercury going Retrograde on Friday (the 9th), a Pisces Full Moon (aka Harvest Moon) on Saturday 10th, and the energy shift of September, let alone Equinox coming – phew! There’s a lot! So I was told very clearly I had to pop in. Voila!

Thus, I thought I would pen you a quick note about what to expect (and there were new guides that were getting bitchy with me as they wanted to play!)

Ready?

Okay, here we are at the very beginning of September (and no it is not Fall yet), that doesn’t happen until my birthday on September 22nd – Equinox!

So let’s start with the overarching Shamanic energy theme of this month, which is…….. CRISIS.

Now before you baulk at the word and get your knickers in a knot, what does the word actually mean? Our word “crisis” comes from “krisis” and “krino,” ancient Greek words meaning “to decide” and “turning point.” So think of any crisis as a moment in which you decide to take a different direction.

I’m going to let Lena share about the energetic theme of Crisis.

When we hear the word crisis it often brings up a negative response. In truth, crisis is often the catalyst for much needed change supporting movement towards necessary and positive evolution. Our physical nature is designed to respond to crises with reaction and action, the instinctive response of fight or flight. Crisis often brings up fear. If we can work through the fear, there is power on the other side. This month is a good one to work proactively with the theme of crisis and use it as a catalyst.

Think of this as a month of potential breakthroughs as we are forced to go within for deep reflection and introspection regarding our values, habits, patterns, beliefs and actions.

Next up on the agenda is Mercury Retrograde on the 9th. I know that Mercury retrograde gets a bad rap, but think of it in a different way – Mercury is the planet of the mind, communication and thus it’s a glorious time to slow our thoughts down, be purposeful with our words and just take a wee bit longer. Mercury retrograde this time around starts in Virgo and ends in Libra, really inviting you to look innerwards and reevaluate what needs rebalancing in your life.

(Are you seeing a theme here yet????)

Let’s dance under the energy of the Harvest Moon on Saturday the 10th.

“While we may feel our outside world slowing down, our internal world is likely to be buzzing under the September Full Moon. We may feel past issues, old wounds, or things we have been too afraid to look at coming back up to the surface. We may have to finally take the time to pause and listen to what our inner world is trying to say.

Trying to control or force things is not going to work under this energy. Instead, we need to surrender; we need to allow; we may even need to sit back and allow things to unfold without our interference.

Your inner world always presents the wisdom you need at the perfect timing, so trust in this, and allow it to bring you comfort as you work through these energies.”

Are you picking up on the theme now?

Then on September 22nd we have the glorious Equinox (and yes there will be an amazing bundle available probably next week), but ask yourself – what does Fall Equinox (or Spring if you are in the Southern Hemisphere) bring to you?

Fall Equinox or Mabon is a time to celebrate your harvest, offer gratitude and embrace the sense of sorrow and release that Fall brings!

(I know for sure you have picked up on the theme now!)

What’s working for you, what have you forgotten to celebrate, what needs to be released, what new choices need to be made and how can you stop clinging to things with your fingernails?

So can you see now why I was told very clearly to pop in? This week is the start of some amazing opportunities for you this month, you just have to be willing to open the door to your heart and invite them in.

Okay, let’s crack on with the reading and I take great pleasure in introducing you to your new guides this week.

“At the edge of the mind awaits the holy wilderness of the soul. It beckons you, like a great forest filled with vast mysteries and wonders. While this mystical realm exists in a higher dimension, beyond normal reality, it is real nevertheless. Although unable to be seen by our physical eyes, it can be felt in the core of our being. To enter this mystical realm, it’s simply a matter of having an open heart. In this healing and holy place, long-sought answers to your deepest questions become known. It’s a place where miracles unfold, and your spirit can fly. In the deepest sense you remember who you are in this enchanted place.”

So take a breath honey. Just come back to your glorious heart space and breathe. That’s all that’s being asked of you at this moment. Then when you have taken a few delicious breaths in and out, pick the card or cards that tickle and niggle.

Did you remember to pick?

Come see.

AIR SPIRIT

Knowledge

As you stand in the centre of the forest,a subtle breeze lovingly touches your cheeks. Gentle gusts rustle the leaves above you as the spirit of air approaches upon her boat of light and wind. In the quietude, you sense the wind whispering messages to you from the Spirit.

It’s time to think things through. This is not the time to be impulsive. Do not react instinctively to situations and people. Take into consideration all points of view. Do your research. Listen to others. Speak your truth. Take time to weigh the pros and cons of a situation.

This is an excellent time to begin a new venture or project, however.

It will succeed as long as you are thoughtful, organised, and focused. There is a remarkable wellspring of wisdom within you. Take a breath, slow and deep, and delve into that inner knowledge. It will guide you in the right direction.

Air represents wisdom, our mental activity, and our ability to reason. It’s also associated with thoughts, intellect, communication, and comprehension. Through our breath, we can speak and express ourselves.

Our lives begin with our first breath, so air is connected with new beginnings.

Take a lovely delicious inhale. Take a moment to think things through.

Think as well as feel the right direction.

Get clarity and become focused before stepping forth. And always remember to take care to have thoughtful communication with others.

Truth without compassion is brutality.

EARTH SPIRIT

Stability

In the lazy quietude of a warm summer afternoon, you recline on the soft moss on the forest floor and listen to the heartbeat of her earth. Her rhythmic cadence surges up from the ground beneath you. With each beat, you remember who you are and what is truly important in life. The strengthening, grounding energy of the earth will fill every part of you.

It’s time to take measure of your life and put your roots down. Assess who you are, and where you are. Make plans for the future, but don’t act on those plans until you feel secure in stepping forward. This is the time of preparation and going deeper.

Darling one, it’s time to ground and create more stability in your life.

Think things through before you take action, but don’t overthink. Take time to plan your future carefully, but please don’t micromanage. Don’t rush into anything. Strength is growing within you. Security and protection surround you. You are safe.

The Earth Spirit provides the trees, plants, flowers, rivers, streams, oceans, mountains, and valleys, and supports us all with her bounty.

She’s stable and strong in her devotion to us.

You’re supported and loved, even if you’re not always sure of it. The seeds that you plant now will bring abundance in the future if you bring yourself into alignment with them and if you take the time to nurture the new beginnings.

Be present in the moment. Slow down and let go of the busyness and frenetic pace of life. Delve into your roots. Honour and release your past. Go deep. Reflect on your life with appreciation and then plan for your delicious present and future.

BLUEBIRD SPIRIT

Happiness

You follow the sweet songs of birds into the forest. As you find the source of the sound, you see in the tree above you a flock of bluebirds. The bright colour of their wings shimmers in the sunlight. Their song envelops you in a soft embrace of bliss.

Bluebirds are glorious harbingers of delight. Celebrate and have fun! Embrace life, yourself, and others. Say yes today! Soar to the clouds and let your doubts dissolve. All is well. It’s simple: Your purpose in life is to experience happiness! That’s all that’s required of you as a soul. You do not need to be unhappy to please another.

Whatever your circumstances, there’s always something that can bring you delight, and what you put your attention on will grow. When you focus on the areas of your life that bring you happiness, these areas will prosper.

One of the fastest paths to true pleasure is through sharing and giving, so give of your heart and share your love. Happiness spreads to others like wildfire and can help heal the world. Dance and sing with abandon: Joy is your spiritual birthright.

Affirm: Happiness and ecstasy flow through me wildly and freely.

Remember, all is well. Say yes to life and let your doubts dissolve. Don’t wait until the future, live life fully now. You do not need to struggle or suffer to grow – you can grow leaps and bounds amid joy!

Oh my giddy goddess, you seriously can’t make this shit up! Happy Labour Day, happy week and remember to open your heart door and take advantage of all the beauty inside your soul and listen to your wise inner self (not your ego). It’s going to be a fun month! Big hugs and squeezes!

What does the Full Moon Symbolise?

Jenny Heston · 5:33 am ·

The full moon has been spoken and written about for millennia across many cultures.

The Chinese, for example, associate the full moon with the essence of yin (female energy). Buddhists, on the other hand, see the full moon as symbolising spiritual power (as Buddha supposedly gained his enlightenment on a night of the full moon) and many sacred festivals are held during the full moon.

In secular folklore, the full moon has been associated with lunacy (madness), insomnia, and psychological disturbances – hence the term “lunatic” (which derives from the Latin word ‘lunaticus’ which means moon-struck).

In astrology, the full moon is a peak of energy that highlights opposing polarities and forces in your life. It is also a time of harvest (or reaping what you have sown).

The full moon is a time where one’s psychic energy increases, and powerful intentions, spells, and rituals can be practised. The full moon also represents the mother aspect of the divine feminine.

When the Moon and Sun are in opposition, the Sun is so far away from the moon that the full face of our nightly companion is lit up. Perhaps distance does make the heart grow fonder!

The Full Moon embodies self-expression and action! It represents completion, illumination and celebration.

This is the apex of Moon phases, the mountain peak. We have travelled far, and now is the time to rest, and look back on our accomplishments, or at what we have left behind, as the case may be.

How much have you grown this past month, honour the small and large victories. What questions arose this past month, or need to be illuminated further? What losses need to be honoured? What do you need to Forgive?

Is it time to let go and move on, or should you build a shrine to remind us for a time of what is now in the afterworld?

Our emotions and even physical body are heightened during this phase of the Moon. Listen to the needs of your body and mind.

The opposing energy of the Sun (ego, or self) and the Moon (inner-self, subconscious) can cause tension or even explosions of emotions. Because of this tension, this is a great time to express yourself creatively, and your rituals can reflect this.

When we boil down the symbolic meaning of the full moon, however, the themes of amplification, subconscious power, release and illumination continually arise.

But then how do I do I Full Moon Ritual that resonates for me is a question I hear a lot.

To heal Chiron’s wound is to move into wholeness and acceptance of your innate goodness.

I know I don’t normally pop in on a long weekend with a reading, however ……..

(Are you seeing a theme here yet????)

Are you picking up on the theme now?

(I know for sure you have picked up on the theme now!)

What’s working for you, what have you forgotten to celebrate, what needs to be released, what new choices need to be made and how can you stop clinging to things with your fingernails?
