The Full Sturgeon Moon (Native American) at 27* Aquarius will culminate, on August 19, 2024, 11:28 AM PST/2:28 PM EST (Farmers Almanac). A super moon is only 8% bigger than normal, but when it first appears on the skyline you can see the illusion of how huge it appears!
This Full Sturgeon Moon is about being Unique. When you were a child, who did you think you wanted to be when you grew up? What profession did you want to have? Does your life look anything like you thought it would look? If it doesn’t, how would you want it to change?
Practicing an inner dialog with your younger self, allows you to progress into who you would like to become. It’s not about what happened in the past, it’s only about concentrating on the future. It’s about jumping from your childhood to a new starting point. A fresh standpoint is where you begin believing in yourself and your dreams. Visions of a potential you. You always have enough time to begin a changed aspect of yourself. Or to reach a cherished goal on your bucket list.
Reacting positively toward yourself, allows you to create situations of trust and calmness. People seldom gather their thoughts and wits in disappointment. Allow yourself to stop to listen and learn. If you have to dig deep, then start digging. Allow yourself to start dreaming of the real you.
If we are not able to cope with daily life, we must change. You are not living an authentic life yet. We are supposed to live the life of our dreams. Let’s reprogram our minds with positive reinforcement. Learn with hypnosis, or pure willpower and make some headway. Don’t procrastinate. It’s never too late, we are to create our futures every second of our lives…
To Become Conscious:
Empathy: A sign of emotional intelligence is knowing how you are feeling… and being aware of how others are feeling. Everyone feels differently.
Adaptability: Learning to react appropriately.
Confidence: Being aware of your shortcomings and still acting in faith.
Mindfulness: Becoming aware of the Present. You have this time on the planet to be in the “NOW”.
Patience: Allowing time to be your ally.
Kindness: No-one is perfect. Everyone needs a boost.

_____ It’s important to set ourselves in a direction for success. The key to flourishing is honest reflection. Becoming

—-“It’s only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth—and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up—that we will begin to live each day to the fullest as if it was the only one we had.” Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
“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.

Relationships, friendships, and work can become less uncomplicated with shared enthusiasm. Patience is a virtue, especially when listening to others’ wisdom and expertise. We learn how to achieve together in tandem. A lovely heart begins with ourselves and extends toward the goodwill of others. Trusting our intuition is a big component. Not everyone has your best interests at heart. But you can; by having the best intentions for others. It is important to live our truth… our progress is to regain our livelihood every day. It is a part of our fate and purpose to be the best we can be.

This moon is about gaining back some of your personal power. Whether it be in the home or the workplace. You’ve been feeling like you need to manage your endeavors.

“Most people fail in life because they major in minor things.” – Tony Robbins – Human Potential Author & Speaker
The Full Worm Super Moon (Native American) will culminate on March 25, 2024, 12:01AM PT / 3:01 PM ET (Farmers Almanac). We have an Annular 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 Worm Moon wants us to concentrate on becoming aware of our beauty and self-worth. We can start with our health care regime. Letting go of negative self-talk. How are you supposed to get back on track with “you putting yourself down”?
Giving Yourself Positive and ProActive Affirmations:
I am Confident
I am Lovable
I am Fair
I am Honest
I am Helpful
I am Skillful
I am Giving
I am Patient
I am Capable
We’re always continuing toward our healthful well-being. It’s important to remind ourselves daily to become our very best selves. We’re always working toward a result.
The aspects of every full moon gently guide us toward cleaning up all sorts of human situations. We’re looking into the meaning of life and a deeper resonance of thought. You are tuning in instead of tuning out. You are finally ready, you want to handle living on Earth instead of Earth handling you.

Change. What is affecting you and how do you fix it
——How do you get your balance back? It’s all about faking it until you make it. You don’t need to be shy or untrusting of how you make choices and decisions. Get a handle on all the fear and what-ifs. Life is action. You do know the difference between right and wrong. You do know the difference between what creates or breaks your health. You do know the difference between action and inaction. You do know the difference between many small and large possibilities. Start developing your life instead of doing things to break it.
—-“But, if we consider, as physicists now claim, that everything is energy—everything we see, everything we think, everything we do—then it is just possible that this same law of conservation of energy applies to questions of morality. A conservation of moral energy, a maintenance of equilibrium… a balance exists and must be preserved. If an action is taken that disrupts that balance, then an action similar in kind and degree is required to restore equilibrium.”
The Full Wolf Moon (Native American) at 5* Leo will culminate, January 25, 2024 9:54am pacific/12:54pm eastern (Farmers Almanac).
This Leo Moon is helping you become adventurous and curious again. You want answers to questions and your aspirations are higher than they’ve been in a very long while. You’ve decided shining in the world really is a good thing. Also self-accomplished when you’re recognized for your giving and charitable impulses. You don’t know where your life slowed down, but you’re ready for it to be filled with happiness and goodwill. You’re putting your best foot forward. This may be your actually walking outside your home experiencing spontaneity or maybe cooking and/or creating projects that will bring you joy. But joy it will be, you’re counting on it. When you actively develop your attitude, manners and activities, you are making concerted effort to make your life “happen”.
Creative ability starts with getting into the right mindset and being ready to begin. Organizing your thoughts and time seem to be a big part of generating ideas. Whether its through art, music.
Step 1:
Brainstorm, who and what inspires you and why. Gather material, writing in a notepad some of your ideas.

Gather materials or things you need to implement your ideas and plans.
Step 3:
There is a beginning, middle, and end. Start doing it. Take small breaks, keep going.
Step 4:
Don’t take yourself too seriously, but take yourself seriously enough. Critique with solutions, don’t be discouraged.
Step 5:
Completion, know what isn’t done and what is over done. What is the next stages of the projects journey…

—- We started as children wanting to create personal excellence. But programming, barriers and Low consciousness people hold you back from reaching greater heights. These include energy vampires, critical people, dishonest characters, and people with temperament issues. Let them go from your life and send them unconditional love as you do that. Invest yourself in the development of your consciousness, unlocking the subconscious, reactivating the super conscious and progressing forward to living a life well lived. Life is an exciting ride.

The Full Beaver Moon (Native American) at 4* Gemini will culminate, on November 27, 2023, at 1:16am PdT/4:16 am EdT (Farmers Almanac).
This Full Beaver Moon is about building constructive communication within your family and workspace. We are being asked to be more insightful in how we talk and listen to others. We aren’t to act lackadaisical, careless, or uncaring when we use our words. We are to speak easily, not worrying about our articulation, although manners are always helpful. This Moon is about sociability, civility, and ultimately making memories before it’s too late. You might be wasting your time, frizzling it away, and not making the wholesome connections you came to earth to make.
You are paying attention to your soul goals, right? Let’s start with your family. Only those members who are good for you. And just make sure you are choosing family and friends who are your spiritual family. Your coworkers are to be supportive. All these people should be important enough to keep in your daily life. It’s a far-reaching component of your evolution. Awaken to what and who is around you. Taking the awkward moment and breaking the ice by asking someone close to you for their advice, or how they feel a plan you have…might be all the potency you need to gain confidence. Steps to learning to communicate are important and worthwhile.
