June Full Moon in Capricorn 2018: Time For Reflection

  Posted By

Capricorn Full MoonThis month’s Full Moon involves three planets, all in rather interesting positions.

The Sun is in the tender sign of Cancer, while the Moon is conjunct Saturn in hard-working Capricorn. With this combination, we can get into some emotionally complex situations. We feel fragile and needy. But these might be needs that others simply cannot fulfill…which leads us to misinterpretation of other people’s intentions…which leads to a sense of rejection…which starts the cycle anew.

Breaking that cycle to find a calm center of self-awareness and self-care is the real solution. This is a very demanding time, and we are each likely to prioritize our own needs and wants over those of others. It would be wise to pause for a deeper analysis of our true motivations. Are we fulfilling our heart’s desire? Or the expectations of authority figures? Or something else? And what are we demanding or expecting of others to support that?

By discovering the true root of our own needs, and acknowledging those of others, we can refine our interactions. By conscientiously supporting each other, we can evolve together, rather than working at crossed purposes. Meditation and mindfulness practices can help toward this goal.

To read more on how to reach this goal, check out the book The Way of Tenderness by Zenju Earthlyn Manuel. For a little extra help, Shoyeido’s Sitting Zen incense can help encourage an atmosphere of calm. To help sweeten the air, light one of Coventry Creation’s Sweetgrass candles.

June New Moon in Gemini 2018: Explore New Ideas

  Posted By

Our last newsletter discussed the Full Moon, as the Sun was in the early degrees of Gemini. Now we cycle around to the New Moon, which is in the later degrees of Gemini. The theme of insatiable curiosity continues and grows even stronger. We yearn to explore and learn about the entire universe. Meeting people, traveling, reading, talking and learning are all means for us to gain new perspectives.

And speaking of Gemini…its ruling planet, Mercury, has entered the early part of Cancer. This leans our instincts more toward secure and reliable ideas. Proven techniques become more appealing than taking risks at this time, especially where it involves the security of home, family or others who are dear to us.

Recommended products for this New Moon:

Sandalwood is my favorite scent-correspondence for Mercury/Gemini, and Shoyeido has some delightful incense options. Try their “Sandalwood”, “Love”, or “Golden Pavilion” to enhance your meditations or ceremony, during this month’s New Moon.

“Happy Home” candles, from Coventry Creations, will bless your home with the very best energy.

Barbara Moore’s “Modern Guide to Energy Clearing” is filled with proven techniques for spiffing up the vibe of your space, or your self.

Full Moon in Sagittarius, May 29, 2018

  Posted By

Full Moon in SagittariusThis Full Moon may feel a bit unfocused. The Gemini Sun loves to explore ideas, while the Sagittarian Moon yearns to expand horizons. Keeping our minds focused might be a bit challenging, but it will certainly be fun! Celebrate this Esbat with new knowledge and experiences, especially any that explore other cultures or other philosophies. Eye of Horus is constantly offering classes and adding to our selection of books, several of which are mentioned below.

Another interesting planetary influence is a Scorpio Jupiter trine Neptune in Pisces. Wow. This is an ideal time to focus on both societal and personal effects of new knowledge. The more we know, the better decisions we can make, and the better our world and our lives will be. We are likely to see new approaches to marketing or advertising and communicating our vision to others. This can easily become a drive to evangelize on a religious or political level, so try not to go overboard. This aspect is tricky energy to ground!  

Depending upon your personal predilections, you could fall into a depressing pit of conspiracy theory, or the shared dream of overcoming our current woes may make a person giddy with optimism. Try to keep an even keel. If we can channel the societal drive for improvement, and give it a push of focused intention, transformative miracles can occur. Now is the time for magic…and radio, and social media, and film, and music, and art, and podcasts, and etc, etc, etc.  Let’s inspire each other!

Some products that might help inspire:

The Strength of Sensitivity by Dr.  Kyra Mesich. This wonderful book, and also her upcoming workshop will help to fine-tune your empathic abilities.

Hidden Mysteries of Orisa by author, scholar, & Ifa priest Awo Falokin Fatunmbi.  If you have been interested in this venerable African tradition, this book is a must-have.  And his discussion will be a perfect opportunity to learn more from an expert.

Coventry Creations’ “Peace” or Truth & Justice candles would be wonderful items to enhance your magic, during the next week or so.

Shoyeido’s “Abundance” or “Golden Pavilion” incense create an atmosphere of optimism.

Lepidolite and Zebra Jasper are good grounding stones, that help us resist or release negativity.  At the same time, they also allow us to heal wounds and receive the positivity we so greatly need.
