━═★ Full Moon Blessings ★═━

The Full Moon in Leo on 11th February 2017 (10.32am, Brisbane Time).  As the first eclipse in the upcoming eclipse season, this full moon is a powerful Lunar Eclipse.  Interestingly, lunar eclipses are always about your relationships – those with yourself, family, friends, colleagues, and even the global village.  You’ll notice that during this period, you will discover something you are missing in your relationships and/or your life.  This is so you can take positive action – whether it be a new healthy lifestyle, proactive relationship choices or seeking new career opportunities.

It will particularly affect those who have Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius in their natal chart.

Full Moons are also energetically connected to the previous New Moon’s goals, dreams and plans.  What did you put into motion two weeks ago?  This full moon brings an opportunity to heal and/or harvest what was sown.

Regions able to see some or all of the eclipse: Europe, Much of Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Arctic, Antarctica.

━═★ What does that mean for you? ★═━

As I connected surrounding us all at the moment, I received two phrases: Shine, Baby, Shine!  (Think Dirty Dancing ‘time of your life’ moment) and Mine, you bastards, mine! (Think Scrooge hoarding his money).  Interesting.  So what does that mean for you at this time?

You may notice this week that a quiet or momentous AHA moment comes into your thoughts.  It’s asking you to ‘take on yourself’ – to master a part of your life and living which hasn’t been ideal or in balance.  This could be a relationship, career or lifestyle – it will be an awareness of what is ‘missing’ to help you ROAR like the Lion.

Family will be ‘in your face’ – momentous times are here – big decisions/information may not be delivered with the finesse they could be.  Know that for some, this energy is so pushy that they will be reacting from a space of fear rather than courage.  Try not to buy into the drama for ‘they know not what they do’.  Give them breathing room (and yourself) and you will notice that the energy goes from full boil to simmer quickly.

If you are one of those who can make time to meditate and reflect during the Full Moon, be prepared.. your cup is about to runneth over! Lol  Opportunities are coming in flashy and fast – are you willing to say: “Hell, yeah!” – and run with them?  These opportunities are only here for you for a short time.. this weekend will demand a willingness, on your part, to say “I am good enough, I deserve recognition and respect AND I’m gonna get it.”

Those who tend to the hoarding “mine, you bastards, mine’ mentality will feel the karmic slap from the Universe.. because if you are not sharing what is worthy about you and of you, then you are not caring about you!

Gosh, I hope that makes sense!

━═★ Appropriate Cleansing Ceremony/Ritual ★═━

Leo’s energy is perfect for a drumming circle or ceremony.  If you are unable to find a local drumming circle to attend, you can ‘do it yourself’ with a bodhran, drum, bongos, medicine drum or even a piece of Tupperware turned upside down.  However, if you feel that your rhythmic percussionistic ability is rather ‘off the charts’, you can also find great tribal drumming on YouTube.

Simply find a space and place during these three days where you can dance and play to the rhythm of the drums.  Whether it be for three minutes or three hours is totally your own choice.

Once you have your feet tapping, hands glowing and heart thumping, raise your hands to the sky and imagine the Full Moon coming to you as a shining ball of light.  Breathe it in and allow it to illuminate you.

Ground your energy when you are ready.  Find a piece of paper or your journal and write down at least five things that you are ‘bloody good at’.  Give yourself an opportunity to say that you are amazingly creative and intelligent human being.  Leo energy does ask you to take pride in your own achievements – big and small.  And seriously, how often do we get a chance to say: Hey! I did that!!!!

━═★ Leo Moon of Dreaming ★═━

Spark my soul

With Creative Delight

━═★ Leo Full Moon Magick ★═━

When the Moon is in Leo, you may observe people roaring like a lion. They just want to be seen and heard.  Confidence and opportunities to shine just seem to pop out of nowhere.  People become easily caught up in ‘the drama’.  New or ‘forgotten’ recreational pursuits are pursued with zeal.  With its association with the element of Fire, Leo Moon energy is a perfect time to buy or bless any magickal tools involving blades or objects you associate with Fire.  Leo Moon is a popular time to cast spells and to ask for favours

The Leo Full Moon is beneficial for magick concerning:

• “big” rituals and projects

• Taking steps towards a goal
• Soothing egos
• Attracting luxuries
• Seeking confirmation
• Luck

━═★ New Moon Blessings ★═━

The New Moon in Aquarius on Saturday 28^th January 2017 has its zenith at 10.07 (Queensland Time, Australia).  Those who have Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius as their sun signs or ascendants will feel this new moon particularly.

━═★ What does that mean for you? ★═━

Aquarius energy brings urges for the truth which can lead to you feeling incredibly curious, questioning and seeking – of everyone and everything.  I keep seeing images of the Rubik’s Cube!

How this looks to you will be highly individualistic – because for some, this energy will encourage you to look deep within for the changes that are required for a new start.  For others, this will affect your friendships and partnerships – seeing them ebb and flow like the water Aquarius pours forth.

Even though you may be tempted to spread blame and responsibility for all the ills, woes, confusions and questions that you see around you.  Aquarius energy asks you to pull up your adult panties and realise that if you don’t like where you are, it’s time for YOU to do something about it.

But.. and here’s the big BUT that fills those panties right now… don’t do anything rash.  Yes, your integrity and authenticity are important… oh yes they are.. but decisions made now may be made on a bunch of feelings or confusion that requires balance first.  Try to give yourself some breathing space before making big decisions.

If you can create the opportunity, step back and socialise and relax this weekend.  Call on those who have your back – whether it be for a BBQ, a phone call or a midnight Skype session.  Distance, from those confusions and questions, will bring a greater clarity to the direction you wish to see yourself travel.
━═★ Appropriate Releasing Ceremony ★═━

Take an opportunity to invite your Council of Wisdom into your meditation.  For this, prepare by thinking of the smartest, wisest, best choices for a Council for you to call to help you with a problem.. these people can be real, alive, dead, mythological, fictional, young, old.. for example for problems with money you may call on the energies of Richard Branson, your High School math teacher and King Midas!

Light a white candle and make yourself comfortable.

Imagine a room where you would love to hold a meeting – prepare the room and set the Agenda e.g. Creating Wealth and Abundance.

Now imagine/meditate on the arrival of your chosen Guest Experts and any other Guides/Guardians who wish to contribute to your life and living.

Talk about your ‘problem/confusion’ and then sit back and allow your Guest Experts and meeting members to share their thoughts, feelings and ideas.  (have pen and paper handy).

At the ‘close of the Meditation Meeting’, thank each for their contribution and ask them leave.  Close the door firmly to the room and then ground yourself.

━═★ Suitable Crystals for Gridding ★═━

If you are gridding, suitable crystals to work with this New Moon include: amber, amethyst, angelate, blue obsidian, boji stone, cryolite, garnet, hematite, lithium quartz, magnetite, merlinite, rainforest jasper.

━═★ Aquarius Moon of Dreaming ★═━

The new moon prepares to fill the crescent’s cup –

Its shadow draws you towards your light;

Aquarian Energy from which to sup –

Observe those thoughts helping you create

And look for new solutions to bring about ‘right’

Call on the Goddesses – The Pleiades, Brigid and Hebe

Crystals Amber, Garnet and Merlinite.

━═★ Aquarius Magick ★═━

When the Moon is in Aquarius, people work collectively towards truth and balance.  The potential of individuals, community and causes is highlighted.  Seek to combine all the ‘droplets’ contributing to the holistic flow of time, space and dimension.  The Aquarius Moon is a perfect time to buy or bless any magickal tools involving besoms, athames or other objects you associate with Air.

.

The Aquarius New Moon is beneficial for magick concerning:

• Seeking the highest ideals of truth

━═★ Full Moon Blessings ★═━

The Full Moon in Cancer on 12th January 2017 (9:33 pm, Brisbane Time) deals with the balance between your private life and your public life.   It will particularly affect those who have Cancer, Aries, Libra or Capricorn in their natal chart.  Those who are water signs will also feel this keenly.

Full Moons are energetically connected to the previous New Moon’s goals, dreams and plans.  What did you put into motion two weeks ago?  This full moon brings an opportunity to harvest what was sown.

━═★ What does that mean for you? ★═━

For those who may remember the TV show “Happy Days”, the energy of this Full Moon is like Potsie by telling you to “Sit On It”.  So, just what are you sitting on?  How balanced is your work/life balance.  It’s even asking you to go further – what is your virtual/physical social life balance?  What ARE you depending on for validation, confirmation and support?

Take notice of those problems/challenges which you are ‘sitting on’- now is a great time to balance your control.  As the Serenity Prayer says, knowing the difference between what can be changed and what cannot be changed, is the province of wisdom.  Allow yourself to be wise and SEE what can be changed for your benefit and for the benefit of all concerned.

You may feel the urge to cleanse, clear and rearrange your desk, your house and your life as this full moon culminates.  It will also bring up characteristics of mothering – now if your Mum was, and is, a stellar influence in your life, then you can breathe a sigh of relief.  Hopefully, you will reflect the nurturing side of the Great Mother’s personality.  However, there is also the other side of the coin – that smothering side of the Great Mother – which desires control, control and MORE control.  Please be watchful of how this energy is coming up in your own life.

As Cancer is a water sign ruled by the Moon, be particularly observant of your own water intake over these three days.  Your emotions will be at bursting point as they swell to meet the tidal effect of this lunar event.  The key is to express and to communicate – whether it be to your closest friend, partner or journal.

You may also be feeling the weight of your roles and responsibilities at this time – adulting is just SO hard, right?  Get the ‘jobs’ done and then give yourself permission to have a rest and relax.  This is a superb opportunity for that bubble bath or for a visit to the beach, lake or creek.. heck, even a shower will do!

Most of all, take a moment to go outside and to not only look at the Moon, but to see it.  As the closest astral influence in the sky, it affects your emotions and your desire to be seen and be heard.  Being the tyrant and bulldozing your way, will only erode your defences and leave you feeling washed out.  Going with the flow while maintain your integrity is a much better choice (and makes adulting just that little bit easier).

Ps.  Whatever you are sitting on – those words/feelings just aching to be expressed – will find a way to be expressed SOMEHOW.  So please remember.. sitting can become another word with the simple addition of a ‘h’.. you know which word I mean- and that can become really, really messy.

━═★ Appropriate Cleansing Ceremony/Ritual ★═━

Cleansing your home is a great way of balancing and clearing the energies within your home.  This ceremony is beneficial at ANY full moon but in particular it works well with the domestic energy of the Cancer Full Moon – it’s like Feng Shui without having to move stuff around.

What you need: An appropriate smudging incense bundle/stick – you may choose white sage, sai flora, sandalwood, sweet grass, frankincense or eucalyptus leaves.

What you do:

• Try to declutter/tidy up your home
• Open windows/doors (where safe to do so) to allow the moonlight and air inside.
• Starting in the kitchen (the heart/centre of your home), light your incense bundle/stick. Waft the smoke into the corners of the room, around windowsills and doors. (Please watch for sparks and embers from your incense!)
• As you smudge, you may wish to say a little prayer to set your intention

With this smudge and my intention

Balance everything in each direction

Releasing the old, I welcome the new

Bring light and laughter all month through.

• Complete the smudging and prayer in each room of your home (don’t forget the garage and hallways).
• When you are finished, place the bundle/stick into a bowl of sand to extinguish it safely.
• Return to the kitchen and spend a minute or two just being grateful and quiet. You may wish to recite the Cancerian Moon of Dreaming poem below.

━═★ Cancer Moon of Dreaming ★═━

Cancerian Moon – Energy of Nurturing

Sing to me.  Soothe my anxiety and worrying.

Strengthen me.  For hearth, home and family

Protect them well.  So mote it be.

━═★ Suitable Crystals for Gridding ★═━

If you are gridding, suitable crystals to work with this Full Moon include: calcite, carnelian, rainbow moonstone, rhodizite, rose quartz, ruby, amber, chalcedony, emerald, aventurine.  Rare crystals include: brookite, natrolite and tinaksite.

━═★ Cancer Full Moon Magick ★═━

When the Moon is in Cancer, you may observe people, projects and places require extra support and nurturing.  This is the most fertile sign of the Zodiac as Cancer Moon embodies the Mother aspect of the Goddess.  Be aware of whether the energy is smothering or mothering – one reduces energy and the other expands.   Particularly beneficial for all forms of Kitchen and Garden witchcraft, this is a perfect time to buy or bless any magickal tools involving cauldrons, chalices or other objects you associate with Water.

The Cancer Full Moon is beneficial for magick concerning:

• Forming new habits, homes and bringing stability to lifestyle choices
• Cleansing and clearing rituals
• Home and vehicle blessings
• Taking stock of the ‘wealth’ you have in your life
• Releasing inappropriate habits and defences
• Encouraging confidence
• Honouring all mothers.
