Full Harvest Moon

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Harvest Moon (Native American) at 24* Pisces will culminate Sept 16, 2016 2:16PM PdT/5:16pm EdT (Farmers Almanac with an Annular Lunar Eclipse.
The current phase of the moon is a Waxing Gibbous (97.1% illuminated), 13.1 days old and at a distance of 375841 Km (233537 Miles).

This Full Moon is in Pisces, which brings a fragile ideality to our psyche. Where the deepest thoughts, imagination, fears and our hiddenness resides. Who are we, where do we come from and why…this is all Piscean in nature. When we think highly of ourselves we skate into ‘the good life’ but if we struggle, usually it’s the darkness of our mistakes or our past lives. There are hidden parts in everyone. While some people it’s clearly seen over others. We always long for better conditions, and if we can’t get to a feeling place, we at least have options to do something about our troubles. This is such a time where the moon is giving you a boost by letting you release some or many of your troubles. If you have fears, phobias, sickness, money issues, relationship issues, it’s time to make a concerted effort to change the course of your mind, the direction of your heart and the bearing of your will. Aiming your intention is the first step to wellness, money, love and happiness. There is no other way but to just do it. Write anything down that’s a problem, take the paper or write out the journal answers and burn safely in your fireplace or in a sauce pan with a lid. Write letters who are on the earth or on the other side, if you need to forgive or if your angry. You can burn those too. It’s time to recognize, release and move your body into action. You are at the end of the cycle. Cast what you will, to the wind.

— You must release something…with a Lunar eclipse it’s better to make the choice then allowing the universe to make your decisions. Do you wait in your room for friends or love? Do you want to have money but don’t go out and get the job you want? Do you say no when you mean yes? Do you drink too much, smoke or eat a lot of sugar? Do you exercise? Do you lie or steal? It’s time to give those things up. It’s time to stop saying you want something when you have no intention of trying. Confidence begins by faking it until you make it. That’s how everyone you admire did it. And it’s not all about possessions, it’s about feelings and true understanding. When we make effort, it comes, if not immediately, you will notice your life changing for the better. It’s all about trying.

• “You have the need and the right to spend part of your life caring for your soul. it is not easy. You have to resist the demands of the work-oriented, often defensive, element in your psyche that measures life only in terms of output — how much you produce — not in terms of the quality of your life experiences. To be soulful person means to go against all the pervasive, prove-yourself values of our culture and instead treasure what is unique and internal and valuable in youself and your own personal evolution.” ~Jean Shinoda Bolen MD

Harvest Moon Magic

By Cheyenne Van Zutphen

 

Say after me: Lunae Lumen Invocatio Me Confortat (moon light invocation empowers me)

 

September 16th 2016 – Full Harvest Moon 24* Pisces  
Culmination: 12:07pm pacific / 3:07pm eastern

 

Instead of darkness, this night greets us with the light of the full moon. Again we can bathe in the silver rays that the nocturnal want veiled. This moon is 24* Pisces and yearns to reveal your life’s secrets. The karma entangled with others, whose ties seem sneered, may now be cut. For clarity hidden by confusion surfaces within. The choice bestowed upon your path allows you to reflect and project. To see deeper into the pools of your inner being; where fear and doubt may dwell. This may expose your blocks and tonight you grant yourself the power to see through yourself as though you are water. Allow this transformation, trust it without control like a stream would guide a fish. Flow with the currents of change and embrace your form as an unbound essence. Bask in the movement of the moon and feel the pull of her power ripping your truest self to the surface. Cry, feel, mourn, smile as you allow yourself to emerge. Life makes us wear so many masks, we become confused, smaller versions of ourselves. Tonight is the night you rip yourself from the reaches of oblivion and honor all that you are; every aspect of your nature, every emotion you have experienced. All of your shame, all of your pride, embraced and then released. Invoke the power of the Pisces moon to know yourself and with that, all shall become clear. This is the trial of truths and the severance of all that does not serve you.

Monthly Divination Recommendation: Water Scrying

Moonlit Water Scrying

Tools:
Two White Candles
One Bowl of medium size
One pitcher of water

*It’s not traditional but I like to add a small crystal as a point of focus

Ritual:
-Sit somewhere where you can see the moon
-Place the candles above the bowl on both sides
-Light the candles and put your hands on both sides of the bowl below the candles
-Before you begin do a short meditation or simple circle cast for protection and clarity

-Now, pour the water in the bowl and put your hands back at its sides, open and ready to receive

Say out loud while staring into the water:

The moon sees all from the dark sky.

I seek to steal a moment from her eyes.

Hush the waters, still the tides,

Reflect to me a moment in time.

–Be very willful on what you want to see. If it has happened or will happen the moon will reveal it.

BE VIVID, BE CLEAR, BE CONFIDENT

I ask it, I beseech it and so it is.

 

**scrying takes patience and practice. You can do this!!!

Monthly Moon Charging

 

Tools:

One white candle

One quartz Crystal

One Bowl

One Pitcher water

-Go somewhere in the moons light

-Place the candle and the bowl in front of you

-Place the quartz in the bowl

-light the candle and pick up the pitcher of water, DON’T POUR YET

Say out-loud:

Goddess, I cleanse myself. Mind, body, spirit

Renewed by the sight of the moon.

I offer now your sacred water to light up and move.

Empower this crystal with your magic,

So that I may honor you.

Repeat as you pour:

Lunae Lumen Invocatio Me Confortat
                        –
Lunae Lumen Invocatio Me Confortat
                        –
Lunae Lumen Invocatio Me Confortat
                        –
Lunae Lumen Invocatio Me Confortat
                        –
Lunae Lumen Invocatio Me Confortat

 

Pour enough water to cover the crystal
Then put the pitcher down and put both hands open on the sides of the bowl

Become comfortable like this and then close your eyes.

Feel the moon charging you, filling you with light.

Silver White light pouring into you like the water from the pitcher to the bowl.

After you feel charged from your crown chakra to your toes, dip your empowered hands into the bowl of water which was also charging with the light of the moon.

Scoop up a small amount of the water and put out the candle with it. Allow your bowl of water and crystal to remain in the light of the moon until dawn. This will have charged your crystal. Keep the crystal on you for added power and then repeat on the next full moon.

-For The Aspiring Full Moon Gardner-
Don’t forget it’s almost Harvest! A great way to get in touch with the earth is to honor your roots. Gather your seasonal goods by the light of the full moon so that come the Autumn Equinox you have a feast that is empowered by the goddess.

Full Buck Moon

By Tara Sutphen

 

The Full Buck Moon (Native American) at 27* Capricorn will culminate July 19, 2016 2:57PM AkdT/3:57PM PdT/6:57PM EdT (Farmers Almanac).

 

Moon distance to earth:

243,053 miles

 

This Full Moon in Capricorn is all about spending quality time with others you care about, bringing forth your likable personality and creating good will. There is a strength in Capricorn to look at all aspects of our psyche in a practical way. What would make us likable, working on our relationships with others and being our outward social selves. Not by being overly convivial, but by generating rational socializing. We have many circumstances that upset daily life, we all wish it wasn’t so. But, we would not learn how to deal with the ins and outs of every day, if everything was too smooth. So we’ve had a few run in’s, unhappiness, sorrow, fights and problems. How have you reacted to these events in your life? Have you been sullen and confused, enraged and hostile? Have you acknowledged how these events could make or break you? What was the process? You stayed steadfast in the face of adversity, right? Or wrong? Did you decide your life matters in a grander and more magnificent way?

Is it time to cherish those that enrich in your life? Many people don’t know you are thankful for them. Its hard for people to remark on others appearance, but it could be notable to say something nice and generate benevolence. We all need to step toward a greater part of ourselves, the shamanistic signs of change are not always easy and we resist, creating difficulties. When we play small minded we don’t get very far away from our earthbound tests. Wouldn’t it be a shame if we were doomed to repeat them. Even if you’ve had differences with others or failure, leave all disturbances behind. These are shamanic signs and point you away from trouble, listen to the problems, the upsets and the chaos… it tells you something is off kilter. It tells you it’s your time to put your life on track, you know what you like and don’t like, what you want and don’t want, connect to your inner knowing and what serves you.

Isn’t it time to start saying yes to your life. Be open to friendship, recognize and embrace opportunities, Love awaits, happiness is to be obtained. Money is to be made, a career is to brighten your means. And if you make mistakes, be gentle on yourself. We can’t always be right, but we can say Yes to life…stop keeping yourself stuck. You are to Live… to see it, feel it, know it and hear it. You are born on earth for a reason and it’s time to re-awaken.

Full flower Moon

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Flower Moon (Native American) at 1* Sagittarius will culminate May 21, 2016 2:16PM PdT/5:16pm EdT (Farmers Almanac). The current phase of the moon is a Waxing Gibbous (97.8% illuminated), 13.4 days old and at a distance of 404931 Km (251612 Miles).

This Full Moon in Sagittarius is all about learning something new…it’s time to up your education with some health tips, relationship solving, and career boosting. You are to look to the optimistic happy side of things. Many times mental instabilities are caused by staying in the doldrums, when it has to be you who pushes your way into the next level of courage and valiance. Being in the energy of pushing forward and doing so in a patient way. Sometimes we think things are gloomy and not going our way, yet we are to look for the way out instead of becoming stuck. When we push for things that aren’t right for us, we are met with problems, arguments, upsets and frustrations. We know when we have a smooth life and when we don’t, we have choices at the moment of a problem of how we are going to handle them. Many times you must be careful not to hold on to people, places and things holding you back. Be careful for what you wish for… It doesn’t mean taking the easy way out, it just means take the path of least resistance. Know who and what is good for you and I mean truly good for you. You might like deliciousness in life and don’t know when to stop. There is some pain to gain. There is focus to achieve. There is compromise in relationships. If it’s too good to be true, it might be… Mixed messages are to be reviewed. Are you clear on what you want, with the Sagittarius full moon….aim your sites high…go for it.

Let’s look into your abilities and see what you need to enhance them. When taking the time to learn what you need to aspire toward, you are investing in yourself.

• “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of others people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” ~Steve Jobs (American Entrepreneur Apple co-founder b. 1955-2011)
