The Full Worm Moon and Lunar Eclipse (Native American) will culminate on March 13, 2025, at 11:55 PM PT / 2:55 AM ET (Farmers Almanac). We have a Total Lunar Eclipse. When we have an eclipse, it’s time to change or let go of something holding us back. Take time to meditate on what you’d like unblocked or cleaned up in your life as it brings something exciting or illuminating to each of us.
The moon will be cast in a reddish copper hue and it will be observable from the Earth’s Western Hemisphere. It will be visible in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean.
The Worm Moon wants us to concentrate on strong passions. This refers to profound feelings, enthusiasm, or desires. That energy is part of the life-force, the breath and blood of our existence. We need to feel supported when we connect to the life force and God’s light.
To regain passion we can connect to our values, explore new and exciting events and things, and surround ourselves with wise and helpful people. It is to find the pathway to practicing mindfulness and easy attainment.
Recreate Passion for Life:
1. Regain Perspective
2. Rekindle Friendships
3. Risk your Feelings
4. Create Atmosphere
5. Communicate
6. Listen
7. Don’t Dwell on the Past
8. Share
9. Don’t be harsh
10. Nurture
1. Attention: when you have started a habit or new pattern
2. Admit: what do you need to change
3. Communicate: what you need, to make a difference
4. Select: goals and needs
The aspects of every full moon gently guide us toward connecting to our deepest selves. We’re looking into the meaning of life and a deeper resonance of thought. You are tuning in instead of tuning out. You are allowing what energies are to leave your life, so you fully live the greatest and best you can. You are finally ready, you want to handle living on Earth instead of Earth handling you.

—— Life isn’t a full stream of happy emotions and no problems but it is about creating the life we want to live. Sometimes it is a slow and steady road…
—“If there is no passion in your life, then have you really lived? Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you and you will find great things happen for you, to you, and because of you.” -Anonymous
Dec 21: The Winter Solstice is a celebration of the heart, vessel of our dreams. Through the darkest time on the planet we are to find solace once again, returning to our inner resting place. Gallantly gazing upon our life’s daily uncertainty and unknowing future. May the earth fold us in comfort away from any harshness. As the light dims we are to harmonize and begin to sincerely replenish our hearts and minds. The pagans called this holiday Yule, where the people of Europe and Scandinavia made festive. It is not considered religious. The pagans were naturalists, such as the Native Americans and other indigenous communities around the world. They followed the course of the sun, the moon and cycles of the seasons for planting food and generally planning survival strategy. As winter comes we recognize our need to rest our minds, hearts and bodies while warming at the hearth. And as we come back out of the darkest day-night of the year and begin to gain more minutes of sunlight and replenishment each day. We linger for a glimmer of light to awaken, reconnecting our spark to life, to the sun and the conviviality of our own beating heart.

The Full Beaver Moon (Native American) at 24* Taurus will culminate, November 15, 2024 1:28pm PST/4:28pm EST (Farmers Almanac). Did you know that when you are looking at the moon, you are looking at it as it was 1.28 seconds ago because of the distance by light speed.
This Full Beaver Moon is about keeping your balance and staying steady. No risks at this time, you are building something in your life and if you are slow and steady you will win the race. If you speed past at this time, you will miss something of importance.

_____Encouragement is useful. Reassuring another person of the effort they make, not only makes them feel validated but it also makes you feel satisfied. No matter who thinks they act alone on the planet is not telling the truth to themselves. The farmer created food for you to eat and there were contractors to build your house. Let alone all the workers creating electronic equipment, entertainment devices, and cookware. Sewing you clothes and making your soaps, creating medicines and vitamins. We aren’t lone wolves, no matter what. Activate your abilities and strong skills, you have the ability to create the life you long for…
——“Real, constructive mental power lies in the creative thought that shapes your destiny, and your hour-by-hour mental conduct produces power for change in your life. Develop a train of thought on which to ride. The nobility of your life as well as your happiness depends upon the direction in which that train of thought is going.” – Laurence J. Peter
The Full Hunter’s Moon (Native American) at 24* Aries culminating October 17, 2024 4:27AM pacific/ 7:27AM eastern. (Farmers Almanac)
The nights are getting darker now. Rest and Rejuvenate, Dream and Create, Plan and Recharge. This Moon is assertive to aggressive in its urgency for change. Move toward recharging your career goals. You are to settle into making money and creating wellness and harmony for yourself and your family. You are to make improvements in your life. You are not being “asked.” The universe is apparent in its message. Aries is about movement toward a goal. Not thinking about it or even having a sentiment attached to making a decision, it’s clear, dust yourself off and be fresh, be strong, be forthright, and be as clear as you can be. Just leave behind some of the things that are no longer working out for you. Wellness is a key message now. Gain your strength for the winter.
Move toward advancement. Sit with your eyes closed and take a couple deep breaths, remove all pressure, heaviness and worries away.
Relax your mind – Learn to Meditate
Feel Your Body – Be in Gratitude of your Temple
Open the Senses – Breathe in “Life”
Don’t Make too many Decisions – But be decisive
Take a break every few hours – Revive
Stay in touch with your Loved Ones – Be the love
Read Books – brain stimulation
VIII.Not always needing to be right – compromise or accept
Be the bigger person – keep on track with your life

—We’re to work on creating our personal power this Full Moon Month. All Dreams are born in the dark as our days of light are limited, allow plans and goals to be developed. We can fail many times, but we’ll find what we are looking for eventually. If it’s people, places or things, we are to remain hopeful, polite and adventurous. It’s our birthright to survive and thrive in this world and allows us to become the very best we can be.

Autumn Equinox, 2nd Harvest, September 20/21/22 September 22, 2024 (Almanac) Mabon, (pronounced MAY-bun, MAY-bone, MAH-boon, or MAH-bawn) is the Autumn Equinox.

Offerings of ciders, wines, herbs and fertilizer are appropriate at this time.

Various other names for this Lesser Wiccan Sabbat are The Second Harvest Festival, Wine Harvest, Feast of Avalon, Equinozio di Autunno (Strega), Alben Elfed (Caledonii), or Cornucopia.
The Teutonic name, Winter Finding, spans a period of time from the Sabbat to Oct. 15th, Winter’s Night, which is the Norse New Year. At this festival it is appropriate to wear all of your finery and dine and celebrate in a lavish setting. It is the drawing to and of family as we prepare for the winding down of the year at Samhain. It is a time to finish old business as we ready for a period of rest, relaxation, and reflection.

The Full Corn Moon (Native American) at 25* Pisces will culminate, September 17, 2024 7:36pm PdT/10:36pm EdT (Farmers Almanac). We will have a Partial Eclipse, when we have an eclipse, it’s time to change or let go of something holding us back. Take time to meditate on what you’d like unblocked or cleaned up in your life as It brings something exciting or illuminating to each of us. The lunar eclipse will happen between 4:41pm Pacific / 8:41pm Eastern on Tuesday 9:47pm Pacific and 12:47am Eastern on Wednesday, with the maximum partial phase occurring at 7:44pm pacific /10:44pm eastern. It will be visible across most of the United States, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, and Europe.
This moon has you tenderhearted and more sentimental than usual. Your feelings and receptivity are heightened. The partial eclipse assents to discard all those sad, or bad feelings. Being in the human game of life gives us many ups and downs. We will have days we struggle and those where we overcome. It’s time to renew your life again, and what you need to leave behind. Where do we start the resolve…
Well, overcoming our sorrow is always a process. Festering over wrong-doings, feeling forlorn or alone, being stuck, jumping to conclusions, or acting out are all wasting our precious time on earth. Sure we make mistakes or get lost in sadness or remorse. We only have so much time and we should recognize holding on to any negativity blocks our progress. We only need to meditate, visualize, write down, and/or proceed to produce what we want in our future. Progress is our only option. Thinking wisely is a virtue. You might be fortunate in many different ways. But to suffer, we must remember to not wallow too long. We have a life to live. We dust ourselves off and make improvements.

If you know of someone suffering, how do you handle it? Of course, we all know of death and destruction. There are far too many circumstances about the suffering in our neighborhoods, let alone the mass of people in the world. You have many opinions and answers for others. What are the answers for you? How do you take a few moments to create peace for yourself? We must try and live our best life every day, to create peace within our hearts and minds, to live up to those we admire, and then go from there…
