Full Sturgeon Moon


Full Sturgeon Moon

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Buck Moon (Native American) at 25* Aquarius will culminate August 18, 2016 2:29AM PdT/5:29AM EdT (Farmers Almanac).

Moon distance to earth:

The current phase of the moon is a Waxing Gibbous (98.6% illuminated), 13.6 days old and at a distance of 382580 Km (237724 Miles).

This Full Moon in Aquarius is all about making new plans for your future, especially regarding relationships. I’m sure you have friendships and love relationships needing revision. Take the time to look at what needs to be changed. Many problems begin when communication gets jumbled or garbled. Speak up, be sympathetic and be willing to understand. Have you been guilty of all of sudden someone you thought heard you is no longer listening or you no longer hear them? It’s good to have a nice conversation and clear the air.

Aquarius sensibility is always about finding a solution or a mending tool, intellectualizing instead of falling headlong into emotional drama. We all have those regretful moments when something was said and for some reason the rapport you once had can’t be mended. Truly if someone can’t forgive you, then they were never your friend or sweetheart, it’s a shamanic sign to turn away from these kinds of situations. You are here on earth to fulfill your journey, and the people in your circle should offer joy and not sorrow. It’s okay to be a friend, but it’s not tolerable to be a life-raft in a roiling sea.

Situations happen where people hurt your feelings, or there are those who try to control you, usually they have an innate fear of life. It can be a painful process letting go of people who once meant a lot to you. And sometimes you can reach out, nothing has to be lost between you if both parties are in agreement to fix necessary issues. People aren’t mind-readers. But don’t over explain, you don’t have to.

Recognize who you love, and who are your real friends? Choose easily the people who care, lovely gestures, gaiety and laughter. And if you’re fine with most people, concentrate on your goals, exercise, learn new things and seek happiness. Life is about forging ahead, after all the planet is moving at approximately 67,000 mph. Gravity plays a role in keeping us on the earth but we don’t have to wear lead boots while trying to get where we want to go. We want our lives to mean something in this vast universe.

Earth orbits the Sun at an average speed of 67,000 mph, or 18.5 miles a second. Perhaps that seems a bit sluggish — after all, Mars Pathfinder journeyed to Mars at nearly 75,000 miles per hour. We are progressing toward Vega a bright star in Lyra. The motion that’s left must be the particular motion of our Galaxy through the universe! And how fast is the Milky Way Galaxy moving? The speed turns out to be an astounding 1.3 million miles per hour (2.1 million km/hr)!

Make it your motto: No Fear. And make concerted effort to not be afraid of change. Remember to go in the same direction with those you care about. Life is too short to play by others rules or games. Be a clear thinking human, you want real love and true love, you want to create a career. You want to gain money or trade goods for your time and energy. Your health is to be supreme, which means to feed, water and bathe your vessel. You are a temple and must treat yourself as such. There are guidelines to the planet and if you aren’t procreating wonderful souls, you must give in some way. Whether it be through expertise or kindness, it is a natural cycle where you can come into your center of being. The movement of giving and receiving with good intention will bring you into amazing soul goals. Come back into balance, make the right decisions for you, for your beloved family and friends. Your future is in your hands.

~~ “To be prosperous is not to be superior, and should form no barrier between men. Wealth ought not to secure the prosperous the slightest consideration. The only distinctions which should be recognized are those of the soul, of strong principle, of incorruptible integrity, of usefulness, of cultivated intellect, of fidelity in seeking the truth. ~William Ellery Channing (American Unitarian Clergyman and Author 1780-1842)

Mabon
Autumn Equinox, 2nd Harvest, September 21st

Mabon, (pronounced MAY-bun, MAY-bone, MAH-boon, or MAH-bawn) is the Autumn Equinox. The Autumn Equinox divides the day and night equally, and we all take a moment to pay our respects to the impending dark. We also give thanks to the waning sunlight, as we store our harvest of this year’s crops. The Druids call this celebration, Mea’n Fo’mhair, and honor the The Green Man, the God of the Forest, by offering libations to trees. Offerings of ciders, wines, herbs and fertilizer are appropriate at this time. Wiccans celebrate the aging Goddess as she passes from Mother to Crone, and her consort the God as he prepares for death and re-birth.

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.

        – Second Harvest, the Mysteries, Equality and Balance.

Mabon is considered a time of the Mysteries. It is a time to honor Aging Deities and the Spirit World. Considered a time of balance, it is when we stop and relax and enjoy the fruits of our personal harvests, whether they be from toiling in our gardens, working at our jobs, raising our families, or just coping with the hussle-bussle of everyday life. May your Mabon be memorable, and your hearts and spirits be filled to overflowing!

Full Flower Moon

By Tara Sutphen

 

Full Flower Moon (Native American)at 16* Scorpio will culminate May 5, 8:36 P.M. Pacific/11:36 P.M. Eastern (Almanac).

The Full Flower Moon is about recognizing what blocks you in your health and psyche. Deep within we want to find the answers to unblock our aspirations and motives.  What vista can we climb to see our way. We can feel lost in the day to day grind. What is it we really are supposed to do on earth. What is, with having to rethink every move we formulate. Some people seem to effortlessly move into situations, events, groups and success easily. Why does it seem that way. When you question them on their journey, they usually say it’s been hard and they struggle with decisions too. Maybe they make better choices… And why does life throw us off balance as many give up or simply go in circles, performing the same patterns and making similar mistakes. What makes us realize when we’ve had enough and need change. Where is the magic key to flourishing.  By what chance have you given yourself to thrive. It’s a notion that something must be unlocked, unblocked, let go to get us to a next stage of learning or reaching.  Why can’t we see it. Where’s the flashing red or green light. Why isn’t it always easy.

We know we want to accomplish “something”, but most of the time it’s elusive. Is it supposed to be one objective and five intentions, a sprinkle of purpose and ten brownie points of meaning. Meaning has a strong pull in making sense of life. Intentions are positive, they can help with taking greater control. Objectives can change as it’s a continuous progress of research and decision making. Purpose is a big order and most often what that means is nonfigurative, as purpose is an intention with a lofty order. Many place it with the significance of their life’s goals, though purpose is not self sacrifice. You can be fulfilled and facilitate, making a difference in others lives without forfeiting your life. There are many levels of helping others and our selves. If working on a global level seems farfetched then we are slated to work toward family, friends and/or community. All self help, all matters of importance start in the home. Even when the life is disruptive or maddening with the initial family, this can point to not needing a certain amount of permission needed to accomplish future goals or “purpose”. Politics, Religions, Work Ethic, Career and/or Lifestyle preferences need a certain amount of approval of others or complete disapproval. Disapproval in youth sparks either insolence or audacity. There are days, years, and many lifetimes that we could dissect our thoughts and psyche, the most important things will be on the last day of this life.  That our lives meant something, who we loved, who we helped, who we laughed with, who we cried with. The soul knows what the soul wants. The mind knows what the mind wants. The emotions know what the emotions want. The body knows what the body wants. We can figure it out , we can be well and flourish…

The worst things we can tell ourselves is I don’t care, I can’t do it, and I’m so afraid. Inherently entrenched within is our survival skills and instincts and when we harbor self doubt and feelings of being lost we can get bewildered and disorientated. There is no need to panic, it takes five minutes to reframe and reorganize your thoughts and direction. Yes, five minutes and whether we live five minutes or 150 years, we are to truly live and love. We are to have a plentiful varied life. And when we keep our health in order and our minds stimulated in the positive search for effect and outcomes we are able to cope easier in the everyday realm.

“Rest enough for the individual man, too much and too soon, and we call it death. But for man, no rest and no ending. He must go on, conquest beyond conquest. First this little planet and all its winds and ways, and then all the laws of mind and matter that restrain him. Then the planets about him, and, at last, out across immensities to the stars. And when he has conquered all the deep space, and all the mysteries of time, still he will be beginning.”~ H. G. Wells quotes (English Novelist, Journalist, Sociologist and Historian. Best known for his science fiction books. 1866-1946)

Standing Before

The Moon Ritual Meditation & Sleep Programming

Although you would ideally do this meditation outTrack 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 earthly journey with an open heart. Track 2: A beautiful sleep programming version of the ritual. Listen as your cross over into sleep and explore the four directions into your dreams.
