Full Thunder Moon

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Thunder Moon (Native American) at 0* Aquarius will culminate July 22, 2013 11:16am PDT/2:16pm EDT (Farmers Almanac).

This Full Thunder Moon reminds us to be open to our future goals and dreams. At 0 degrees its saying we can be open to new ideas, no longer needing to go round and round over old worn out feelings and results. We obtain an outlook and begin moving in attainment. A mind-set of really living life instead of observing others in what they are doing. What are you preparing, do you look down at your feet and see them moving toward your happiness and fulfillment. We can all be stuck in our minds and not set ourselves into action. But as we progress we want to look back and see what our plans have been and are becoming. The mistakes were stepping stones to greater love and recovered choices. We have the opportunity to regenerate. To piece together and construct our perfect design of life and what we want…

All ideas and dreams are originally born in the dark, you are being asked to bring your life into the light of greater reality and create quality. The future is always unknown. Why have you feared something that you are in control of…it may take you minutes, months or years but you can move into continual improvement.

“Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together.”~ Anais Nin (French born American Author 1903-1977)

Full Strawberry Super Moon

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Strawberry Moon (Native American) at 2* Capricorn will culminate June 23, 2013 4:32am PDT/7:32am EDT (Farmers Almanac).

This Full Strawberry Super Moon ‘reins us in’ from liberty to duty. We all have goals to set and strength to attain as we secure our lives. We’ve had a little suspension according to the universal signs. And it’s great to be responsible to your lives as we get ready to revel in the new days of summer. The super moon is staring directly at us, opening the questions we ask ourselves over and over. We want to be confident and we do want to become who we want to be. We dream of gaining outer stability and a sturdy body. Focus, steady your mind as you move your body, it’s not about reviewing right now, it’s about steady action and doing. Breathe some fresh air and get out there. Eat healthy, sign up for those classes and step into the groups that will further you in proper improvement. Psychically click into your inner knowing. Step into a right situation, step back from a wrong situation or stay quiet and still…but it’s about movement now. You are to be concentrated in body and mind.

Progress and attainment, motivation and intent, being useful and fulfilled – aim for the next strategic direction. Whether you are working toward health or finances, exert yourself for a purpose, succeed for you, work together with your loved ones, aspire…Life doesn’t always give us a guarentee, but we know we are worth it.

Journal Questions:

Rate how strong your body is: 1-10, Rate how strong your mind is: 1-10, Rate how long you’ll be vital in this life and why. What are you doing to make yourself strong in body and mind

  • About yourself
  • Or others

Are you confused: and Why

  • At home
  • Outside the home
  • At work
  • At school
  • Love
  • Family
  • Parents
  • Mate
  • Children

Do you outwardly seek:

  • Love
  • Career
  • Job
  • Health
  • Relationships
  • Friendships
  • Happiness
  • Exercise

What area needs more work at this time. And Why

  • Spiritually
  • Emotionally
  • Intellectually
  • Materially
  • Physically

Have you found yourself wanting to be more goal oriented than you are… can you step into your personal power to create the person you long to be. You may need to get more physically strong upon the earth before you can engage a rested mind and spirit. Eat well, exercise, and start doing what you want to do for a job. It’s all a balancing act. We need to take ourselves seriously, just like you do your loved ones. You matter…

“Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.”~ Albert Einstein (German born American Physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity. Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. 1879-1955)

Summer Solstice

Summer Solstice

 

Summer  Solstice, Midsummer, Litha

By Tara Sutphen

21st June

“In the world’s audience hall, the simple blade of grass sits on the same carpet with the sunbeams, and the stars of midnight” – Rabindranath Tagore (Indian Poet, Playwright and Essayist, Won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913, 1861-1941)

Summer Solstice marks the end of the waxing year.  And the rays of the sun directly strike one of the two tropical latitude lines.  June 21 marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere, as  winter begins in the southern hemisphere. On this day, the earth’s “circle of luminescence” will be from the Arctic Circle to the Antarctic Circle. The equator receives twelve hours of daylight, as there will be 24 hours of daylight at the North Pole and 24 hours of darkness at the South Pole. All over the world people honor this day as an important reminder of the apex of light and to cast away evil and their problems. Northern Hemisphere inhabitants use June 21 as the day of celebration, but the splendor of light lasts from new moon to full moon.

Worshipping the Sun’s great power, all cultures celebrate in some way. Celts and Slavs dance around bonfires while Chinese marked the day honoring Li, the Goddess of Light. The celebrants of modern and ancient ceremonies tune in that life comes from the sun. It is life giving and life supporting.  We’ve recently had the good fortune to have electricity, greenhouses, and shipment suppliers. How will you celebrate? We all may not get a chance to dance around the bonfire but it’s a time to bask in the light, sit in the sun, cast our worries away and awaken to our lives.

    2 tablespoons chopped parsley

This Full Flower Super Moon is with an eclipse, and will shadow a tiny bit of the moon. It is our 3rd eclipse in a row. Eclipses are about change or letting go, it can be to bring something exciting or illuminating into your life. These aspects are letting us know we can set ourselves free from limitations, and broken promises. Sagittarius brings you liberty if you are brave enough to look at the practical ways of escape. No confusion or half hearted trying will work, you have to have a game plan and start bee-lining for it. Your mind is a tool, your energy is a force. Start using it for the betterment of your life.

This is a powerful time for the mind, deep introspection of your soul goals come into play. You want to experience life as you have dreamt and desired it to be, you can seek that freedom if you create the courage to organize your way out instead of staying with the status quo. This isn’t a time of recklessness, only healthy abandon. Start that diet, look for God in all things, Love as you never have before, sign up for classes, read those books that are dusty on a shelf…Be you, the real you.

USD $ 10.99
Meditation By Tara Sutphen
Although you would ideally do this meditation outside beneath the full moon, you can also experience it by imagining the moon and four directions as you are surrounded with magical energy … a rainbow of light. In the Goddess’ name you open to the light. You can actually stand up and raise your palms to the sky or imagine this process of being energized and rejuvenated. Facing North you ask for solutions to your problems and experience many blessings. Facing East you seek solutions and prosperity while trusting yourself to make the right choices. Following many blessings, you turn to the South and ask for increased self-esteem and harmonious relationships with the people in your life. After the blessings, you turn to the West to face your destiny and ultimate potentials. Open your mind and release your courage. The ritual ends with the moon as your guiding light on the shadowed path. It illuminates your dreams as you walk steadfast and proceed on your earthy journey with an open heart. 30 Minutes.

Happy Beltaine XOX

by Tara Sutphen, posted in Uncategorized
BeltaineRainbow
Beltaine
Beltaine is the “Celebration of the Light”,the light time of the year. The dark time being remembered by Samhain. May 1 is the day in the middle of the spring and the summer equinox’ (15*Taurus). May Day is the time for love and the happiness of summer on it’s way.
Beltane is a celebration of the union of souls, The union of minds, and the union of bodies. The earth mother calls her progeny to replenish the earth. Flowers decorate hair and everywhere. Maypole ribbon dances, with two circles interweaving around a decorated tree or pole, clockwise dance circles. Bonfires or candles to spark the sacred fire of union and fertility.

Druids and Pagans raised the Beltaine fires on hilltops on May Eve, the fires were lit in order to bring the sun’s light down to earth. Earth awakening from it’s long winter nap and the flowers are in bloom and frolicking abounds. Joy alights your body, mind, and spirit, the colors become brighter, you see the best in everyone, casting away all worries and doubts you collected over the winter time.All nightmares become daydreams of love, hope and harmony.
 Beltaine or Beltane is an anglicization of the Irish “Bealtaine” or the Scottish “Bealtuinn.” — “bel,”brilliant”, “tene” “fire” 
Things to do on Beltaine alone or with a group
Create a Beltaine circle or group
Buy or Pick flowers
potluck
maywine (alcoholic or non alcoholic)
Candles, Fireplace, Bonfire — Lighting a fire with a blessing
May pole (you can use a tree if you don’t have a pole) garnish w. greenery and flowers – tie long ribbon
If you create a May pole, make lots of wishes while you walk clockwise into your future, and at the end of wrapping the ribbon say a blessing for yourself and end with “to love and be loved, So it is”. If the tree/pole ribbons pretty and sturdy enough you could leave until Samhain.
Some of the questions that you can ask your friends or family are:
What were the highlights in your winter? Everyone must come up with at least one if not several highlights. What are the dreams to enliven your spring and summer? Every one should convey their intentions for the summer.

Full Pink Moon

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Pink Moon (Native American) at 5* Scorpio will culminate April 25, 2013 12:57pm PST/3:57pm EST (Farmers Almanac).

This Full Pink Moon and aspects are having us take a look into our minds eye, deeply identifying how we create aliveness in our personal lives. Even the most conscientious can be tangled in chaos. And as if we don’t have enough to worry about, we sometimes take on others problems. Adding this month a minor Lunar Eclipse, this type of eclipse is one of the three shortest of the 21st Century, the next fleeting one will be in 2042. Eclipses are about change or letting go, bringing something exciting or illuminating, and/or getting rid of what is no longer needed. Releasing sentiments of lack, negative over all feelings or being chained by certain circumstances, we can use eclipses as a clearing method. You are being prodded gently to find your prowess, instinct, and personal power once again. Releasing a mindset on what doesn’t work in everyday life. We have to make effort to not allow drama or dissension. Our lives are supposed to be productive and enjoyable. We are not to be mired in negative thought, angst, nervousness, misgivings of people close, or doubting our sociability and lovability. Society and mainstream western living has us playing by many man-made rules, and sometimes struggling with our security needs. Many people either act out or freeze, but it’s how we get back on course. As a gentle reminder everyone and everything is supposed to work in our favor. We are to be in the flow of life. When nothing is easy, it’s about change. Go deeply within your mind, allow yourself to guide your time and energy back on track.

 

Journal Questions:

Are you harboring resentment

  • About yourself
  • Or others

Are you trying to be invisible

What issues surround

  • House
  • Love
  • Family
  • Parents
  • Mate
  • Children

What do you want and why

Delight or Drudgery

  • Love
  • Career
  • Job
  • Health
  • Relationships
  • Friendships
  • Happiness
  • Exercise

 Deep Goals

  • Spiritually
  • Emotionally
  • Intellectually
  • Materially
  • Physically

Many times we must reposition our minds as well as our hearts to open to the opportunities and possibilities being offered.

“Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many. The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from the sense of their inadequacy and impotence. They hate not wickedness but weakness. When it is in their power to do so, the weak destroy weakness wherever they see it.”~ Eric Hoffer

 Full Moon of Winds

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Moon of Winds (Celtic) at 6* Libra will culminate March 27, 2013 2:27am PST/5:27pm EST (Farmers Almanac).

This Full Moon of Winds is to remind us of the beauty within and throughout. We are to love who we are and what we do. Removing all doubt in our minds into a workable way of being. Learning balance we begin to see the best in ourselves. When we look deep within our heart we can be open to receive gentleness and understanding from our self as well as from others. We each choose a path to live in this life, our service to others as a career or help-mate is defining and casts our progress day to day. Many defining moments have set you on your journey. People you’ve met, jobs you taken, careers you sought, food you eat, exercise you’ve done, choosing friends and partners, how you treat people you love. What are the signs you’ve been accumulating. Have you been paying attention. Signs are secret language, much as a cryptogram. We have these symbols everyday to point the way, mostly through unhappiness but through our sordid feelings we often don’t act on true recovery or constructive action. Life is a long time and yet it’s fleeting. Sometimes we need to learn the lesson over and over again. The theory is we live for all eternity, but we are mortal beings, it is important we recognize where we are and what we’re doing…and to live the best we can is essential.

Standing Before The Moon Ritual
 

Meditation By Tara Sutphen

Although you would ideally do this meditation outside beneath the full moon, you can also experience it by imagining the moon and four directions as you are surrounded with magical energy … a rainbow of light. In the Goddess’ name you open to the light. You can actually stand up and raise your palms to the sky or imagine this process of being energized and rejuvenated. Facing North you ask for solutions to your problems and experience many blessings. Facing East you seek solutions and prosperity while trusting yourself to make the right choices. Following many blessings, you turn to the South and ask for increased self-esteem and harmonious relationships with the people in your life. After the blessings, you turn to the West to face your destiny and ultimate potentials. Open your mind and release your courage. The ritual ends with the moon as your guiding light on the shadowed path. It illuminates your dreams as you walk steadfast and proceed on your earthy journey with an open heart. 30 Minutes.
