The Hunter's Moon

A nearly full moon will illuminate the sky as we celebrate the sabbat of Samhain or Halloween as most people have come to know it.

In ancient times, Samhain would have been celebrated in conjunction with the full moon, but our modern calendar has the days a bit off. No worries, it is the energy that you work with, not the chronology. The full moon will be giving off a powerful energy on the evening of Samhain that can be used to release and transform (eye of newt, not required).

In the Native American culture, this moon was the Hunter’s moon. It marked the final hunt before the cooler, winter months when food was likely to be scarce.

The wise hunter/gatherer pulls together all of the resources needed to survive the winter months so that they can relax and celebrate knowing that all will be well in Spring. As storage space will be at a premium, it is also a good time to release that which you no longer need. This includes both physical and emotional needs. Let it go! You have enough, you are enough!

Each full moon pulls together two astrological signs. For this moon, they are stable, homebody Taurus and dark, mysterious Scorpio. 

You can use the best qualities of both signs for your personal growth. The sun in Scorpio illuminates the dark things that have been hiding. They may scurry about and make you feel off as they are exposed for the silly fears that they really are, but the strength of the Bull will keep you on your feet as this release occurs. 

Most people who get stuck in their healing process, are fearful of what is lurking in the dark, hidden parts of themselves. Lower your horns and be brave. You are not here to suffer, but to love, learn, and play. When you release the fears that have held you back, you make room for a wonderful, new life and a great year ahead.

The full moon sings to us like a benevolent siren begging for us to release our burdens and worries. 

Let them go. You are safe, you are well and in the stable sign of Taurus, you are home.

Release and Fly

If you’ve done any reading on tonight’s full moon eclipse, you may have encountered, end times predictions, dire warnings to hold fast to your personal relationships and communications snafus that can cause certain disaster.  

In the old days, according to the major religions, this would be considered a time for repentance. Why not? Doesn’t everyone want a clean slate on Judgment Day?

Yet the word “repent” has an old energy about it. If we “repent” from “sin” and we know “sin” to be Self Inflicted Nonsense, then who are we repenting to? You got it! This moon is about taking a look in the mirror and finally fixing our spiritual hair and makeup starting by taking off all the layers and seeing what is underneath.

Let’s replace the word “repent” with “release.” It is time to release the old patterns that have shackled us to this level of energy and rise to higher levels that await us.

Be proactive. Know that this is a time of change and sometimes chaos. Chaos is the destruction that creates. It’s okay to allow your old self to crumble under the strong vibration only to rise, as the Phoenix to begin a new and amazing life.

And all this during Mercury Retrograde. Does the Universe hate me? Nothing could be farther from the truth. Like a patient teacher, the Universe wants you to graduate and lift yourself to the next grade level. When we are in school the teachers we think are “mean” are the ones we thank upon college graduation. They pushed us out of our comfort zones and into life.

This moon has a strong Aries influence so passions, anger and leadership will be in the spotlight. Watch your issues as they walk onto the stage. Be the critic who looks to see what isn’t working in the performance. Then, be ready to change it.

Become the cosmic goal keeper. Know that the issues you have and share with others will be coming at you from multiple directions. You are alert, but calm. Confident that you can handle yourself in the position you have chosen, and exhilarated and grateful that you made the team.

In addition (as if there needed to be more) this takes place very close to the Autumnal Equinox. Don’t run away now! The Equinox just further energizes the great release taking place (which you are well prepared for). The emphasis is on gratitude and balance.

Think of a baby taking her first steps. There are big wobbles, a fall or two, and then finally, a step, then another a big smile and a whole new life has just opened up. 

Be that baby! Work those leg muscles, steady yourself after each wobble then walk, run and take off in flight. You are only afraid because you’ve never done it before.

This is a time of sink or swim. You will have other chances, but do you really want to wait? Do it now! All of Heaven is daring you to! And when you get there, they will embrace you and say, “Well done, child! Welcome home!

The best part is: You don’t have to die to get there. Just release and then Fly with Angelic Wings!

Full Moon Eclipse

Full moon time again! Are you feeling the pressure? This full moon is also an eclipse which increases the full moon energy.

Emotionally, you may feel like a balloon blown up to maximum capacity. You must release. There are two possibilities. Opening the valve and rapidly releasing the air with intention or POP! Going out of control in every direction.

This eclipse is short, only four minutes long. Changes may occur quickly.

The word in the astrology circles is that relationships and career will be affected by this energy.

Don't allow fear to rule your thoughts. Changes can be wonderful. Even changes that appear negative, when approached with consciousness and positive energy can improve your life. Think of a house fire that allows you to rebuild your nice house into your dream house. Have faith and keep moving forward.

The moon, as always, is associated with the element of water.

To catch the giant wave, it is necessary to get in front of it and paddle. Keep your thoughts on the thrilling ride, gliding onto the sand with a satisfied smile in the end.

Changing Energies

"Your energies are changing and causing your emotions to turn on you as you adjust to the new vibration. Take time to rest and allow the Angels to activate your Light Body to its true Potential." ~AA Anael~

 We are enjoying a beautiful full moon tonight. Let go of what does not serve you to make way for a glorious new you. Blessings.

ONCE IN A BLUE MOON

This Full Moon is like many of the other intense ones this years. It is considered a Blue Moon. Remember the old saying, "Once in a Blue Moon."  "It happens once in a blue moon...." Well, this is the time for 'it' to happen.

 

What is the 'it'? That would be different for everyone. But it certainly is time to release some old patterns in your way of thinking about the world. It is time to be done with doing the same things and expecting different results. It is time to determine to forge ahead with your own life and create your dreams. It is time to manifest miracles in your life by no longer worrying about how society may react if they discover you are different from the norm.

Many have had past memories of abuse and negative situations brought up in their lives in the last week. These are surfacing for you to take a look at what you still need to release or heal. Take a hard look at things which feel sad from you past and determine to let them go, so they no longer have any control in your life.

Creative energy is building up right now, but as long as you have the 'I am worried about other people's opinion of me' syndrome, you will not be able to be truly creative.

Perhaps you are afraid of their criticism because you are critical of yourself and others. This is a perfect thing to release this Full Moon. Choose to let go of a critical spirit. You will find that will go a long way to allowing you to lighten your load and rise up to reach your dreams.

Perhaps someday you could say, "Once on a Blue Moon, I released criticism and then was able to reclaim my free spirit!"

Find out what is holding you back from your dreams and let it go this Full Blue Moon! Time to Fly with the angels, my friends!

RELEASE EXCUSES...DANCE!

The energy of the full moon is still reflecting her power towards us. Today I choose to use those energies to drop old patterns of not honoring my temple. Too often excuses have crept into my life as to why I don't stay disciplined to keep consistant with exercise. The Full Moon is about releasing what no longer serves one.

So last night I began releasing those excuses. Today I cranked up the stereo in our home dance room, complete with mirrors, sound equipment and flashing colored lights. I called in the energy of Archangel Anael and danced the goddess way...free-flowing and serpentine. I included stretches and the Tibetan Rites.  Our little fur child (mini-dauchand pup) tried to dance with me. I danced with joy, relishing in the fact that my body is strong and healthy!

What will you release that no longer serves? What excuses are you using that block your joy? This is the time to let them go. This is the time to Dance!

CLEANSING FULL MOON

If you have been feeling extra emotional the last couple of days, give yourself a pat on the back. We have a full-moon coming up on Saturday. Normal people feel the effects of the full moon two days before and two days after its peak. Spiritual people can feel the energy of the full moon up to a week prior and afterwards.

That being said, this coming full moon is called a perigee moon or a Super moon. It means it comes closer to the earth and will appear larger. Since the moon is related to our tides, it is predicted it will have approximately 42% more effect on our tides. It will appear 14% bigger and 30% brighter than the regular full moons.

Remember that a large percent of our bodies are made up of water. Water rules emotions. So guess what friends?  We will be releasing a lot of emotions in the next few days!  Yes, some of them will be issues you thought you already released. This moon will have a way of going deep to make sure you get 'clean' so to speak...but only if you allow it.

Make sure you take the time to write down one thing you want to let go of this full moon. It is time to be moving on and to be filled with joy and light. But first we must let the waters cleanse us and make room.

FERTILITY OF EASTER/OSTARA

Ostara or Easter is the second of the three spring fertility festivals. Hence the eggs and rabbits. The first was the Spring Equinox and the third is Beltane (May 1^st)

We just had the full moon yesterday and hopefully set intentions of release.

Sunday is the perfect time to celebrate the fertility of new beginnings, hope, joy and prosperity that is coming to you. This will fill the holes in your soul where you released the old.

So Happy New Beginnings for you in this time of Fertility!

GIVING TEARS

The rain today made me think about the full moon energies of releasing. Not only does rain nourish the earth, but it cleans the roads and sidewalks. It is like our tears. When we release what is no longer working for the good in our lives, it comes in the physical form of tears at times.

Years ago I was releasing some old energies at a gathering. Tears freely flowed down my cheeks. I remember thinking..."What is wrong with me? I am a giver...now all I can do is cry. I have nothing to give!"

A beautiful lady came and stood in front of me. She sang softly in my ears as she wiped away the tears. "Take what you need...Give what you can..."

Then she said, "Right now take the energy you need for healing from this group. What you have to give is your tears. That is all you have to give and it is enough."

Please remember this...All you healers, psychics and givers. Right now all you have to give may be tears And It Is Enough!

I love you all dearly and remember how important you are.

Release what no longer serves your best and highest good...and let the tears flow as a gift to Mother Earth.

Take what you need from the Angels, as they are always ready to assist.

OPEN TO ENERGIES

The energies of letting go from the full moon is still very strong with most Spiritual people. Continue to let go of what no longer serves you.

This will help you make room in your energetic field that will allow you to bring in some loving and powerful new beginnings to your life.
