The Full Buck Moon (Native American) at 18* Capricorn will culminate on July 10, 2025, at 1:37 pm Pacific/4:37 pm Eastern (Farmers Almanac).
This Capricorn Moon invites us to reflect deeply on our ambitions, responsibilities, and the emotional landscapes we navigate. It challenges us to assess whether we truly harness our inner drive with enough courage to foster a genuine connection to our lifeforce. The essence of this astrological phase encourages introspection—are we merely skimming the surface of our potential, or are we diving deep into the waters of our true capabilities?
As we ponder our successes, health, love life, and overall consciousness, we must ask ourselves if we’ve been cutting corners. Are we settling for mediocrity in pursuit of convenience, or are we committed to the hard work necessary to cultivate a fulfilling existence? This period of renewal serves as a clarion call to let go of the distractions that pull our focus from the life we aspire to lead. Instead of getting bogged down by minor infractions or grievances, we are urged to adopt a broader perspective, embracing the possibility of transformation and growth.
We are beckoned to confront our past fears—those emotional weights that may have stunted our progress. As we process these feelings, we can begin to unfurl our potential, shedding the layers of self-limitation. It is crucial to examine whether our concerns are truly significant or if we have allowed third-world problems to overshadow our first-world realities. This reflection can reveal a deeper compassion or, conversely, expose judgments that come from a place of privilege.
In a world filled with diverse opinions, the question of morality arises. Are we grounded in a sense of ethics that guides our decisions and interactions, or do we find ourselves lost in a sea of self-serving beliefs? We are reminded to root our actions in integrity, fostering a sense of accountability not only to ourselves but to the greater community.
By fostering a spirit of determination and addressing our emotional truths, we can embark on a powerful journey of rebirth and renewal. Are we ready to engage with our full potential, or do we still have work to do?
Journal Questions:
1. What are the top three dreams or aspirations that I have for my life, and what steps can I take to start pursuing them?
– Reflect on your deepest desires and outline actionable steps to begin working towards them. Consider both short-term and long-term actions.
2. What beliefs about myself or my capabilities are limiting my potential, and how can I challenge or change these beliefs?
– Identify specific beliefs that may be hindering your progress. Explore how you can reframe these thoughts to foster a more empowering mindset.
3. What does success look like for me in various areas of my life (career, relationships, health, personal growth), and what is one action I can take in each area this week to work towards that vision?
– Define your personal concept of success across different life domains. Set tangible, achievable actions for the immediate future to bring your vision closer to reality.
4. When faced with obstacles, how do I typically react, and what strategies can I implement to respond more effectively moving forward?
– Analyze your typical responses to challenges and setbacks. Consider developing a toolkit of strategies that can help you navigate difficulties with resilience.
5. What passions or interests have I neglected, and how can I reintegrate them into my life to enhance my overall happiness?
– Reflect on activities or interests that once brought you joy but have since fallen by the wayside. Plan specific times to engage with these passions again.
—- It is never too late to become who you want to be… The treasure hunt is searching for key elements to unlock manifesting abilities and fulfill projects and tasks. Rewards come from recognition and appreciation, it appeals to a fundamental human need.
We are on our own personal treasure hunt in life. Treasure hunt is used as a metaphor for unlocking our manifesting abilities is both captivating and enlightening. This journey represents the quest for self-discovery and the realization of our potential, where each key element we uncover not only propels us toward fulfilling our projects and tasks but also enriches our lives in profound ways.
At the heart of this treasure hunt lies the recognition and appreciation we seek. These rewards resonate deeply with our fundamental human needs, as they affirm our worth and validate our efforts. When we feel acknowledged, it ignites a spark within, motivating us to pursue our aspirations with greater fervor. Recognition serves as a powerful catalyst, transforming our mundane tasks into significant milestones on our journey toward self-actualization.
As we embark on this quest, we must first identify the key elements essential for unlocking our manifesting abilities. These elements may include clarity of intention, self-belief, and a commitment to action. Clarity of intention acts as our map, guiding us through the labyrinth of possibilities. It is vital to define what we truly desire, ensuring our focus remains unwavering amidst distractions.
Self-belief is another crucial component; it acts as the compass that directs our efforts. When we possess confidence in our abilities, we are more likely to take risks, embrace challenges, and step outside our comfort zones. This courage is often what separates those who merely dream from those who manifest their visions into reality.

“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.

The Full Strawberry Moon (Native American) at 20* Sagittarius will culminate on June 10, 2025, at 12:44 am PDT/ June 11, 2025, at 3:44 am EDT (Farmers Almanac). This Full Strawberry Moon is about opening your perspective on the world view. You may have become narrow-minded or stuck in your ways, especially in how you make money and create a secure life for yourself and your loved ones. When your focus becomes broader, you still stay constructively within your personal power. It’s not about becoming adventurous per se; it is deepening the confidence in how to make money. And where to live and gain knowledge. Instead of following the routine so strategically, you’ve maybe forgotten how to have fun and expand your potential. Breathe deeply again. That’s it, remind yourself to breathe. Find your sacred space within your auric field and begin to think in magic. Knowing how to use skills and tools to help yourself achieve the next steps or goals. They can be career moves or personal ones, as you can positively influence yourself for the better. Thinking good thoughts can be the first step to rebalancing your personal power, but moving your body in a proactive, considerate way is by far more beneficial.
There are times when feeling ineffective, meek, or mired in indecision. Confusion can leave you disoriented and directionless, but taking a baby step and beginning to work past struggles can help you out of any dilemma.
Here are a few tips:
Identify the issue, but don’t dwell
Be kind to yourself
Meditate at least 5-20 minutes a day…and a couple times a day if you need to recenter. Meditation should consist of not concentrating on anything. If you don’t have a meditation practice, metaphorically: visualize or feel a golden light orb between your hands, healing you and giving you more life-force energy.
Mindfulness: exercising your mind to stay in the present state, give yourself permission to be hopeful, helpful, and make wise choices.
Listen to mind-programming, hypnosis MP3s, if you are stubborn
Get outside and get some air…maybe exercise or dance to music
Change your viewpoint, change your outlook, change your hopeless view to a hopeful panorama
Create a checklist of goals you want to accomplish, about yourself, about your attitude, about your health, about ways to make money, and about accomplishing goals
9. Be Consistent, Be Loyal, Be Reliable, Be Trustworthy – it doesn’t matter that others are not those traits, it matters that you are!
10. Make an effort, and progress will happen
When you actively move towards becoming knowledgeable or successful, you allow your life to flow in the direction of fulfillment. Move forward now, as the past is already gone. Decisions are to be made in your future. Allow yourself to start making good-to-great choices.

__You can be working at a job but not know how to be in tune with the task, the duty, or the people surrounding you. So this moon says, take a look at you and the way you create safety, security, and money. You are asked to make simple changes, becoming more health-conscious or going in the direction of what you do best. You can make small adjustments that can create big changes. Don’t wait for others to make you feel better; start to make yourself feel valuable, because once you do, you will be more inclined to create a contented life. Your relationships, your friendships, and your work can become smoother. Recognize yourself, you are an individual, an amazing soul, and a beautiful heart, and regain your livelihood, your fate, and purpose.

The Full Flower Moon (Native American) at 22* Scorpio will culminate, on May 12, 2025, 12:58 PM PDT/ 3:58 PM EDT (Farmers Almanac).
This Full Flower Moon is about improvement and refinement. How are you fairing in your everyday way of being. What areas do you need to recover emotionally or physically. The first stages to bounce back in areas of health and vitality are self-compassion, plenty of sleep, and mild exercise. This moon reminds us of renewal on a cellular level. Quiet the mind and get centered again… you take the world for a ride, it doesn’t take you for one. Betterment is a key to progress.
The three indicators of burnout are:
Insufficient energy or fatigue
Being negative or feeling cynical
Performing poorly
This is not the time to feel ineffective, meek, or unmotivated; as others are set in place to help through struggles. Whether through listening to common sense, polishing your skill set, or being open to your elder’s/mentors’ suggestions. Throughout this month, stop to listen often, take notes, and proceed effectively.
Recovery:
Professional counseling, hypnotherapy, massage, or a support group
Monitor stress level – keep a journal
Change our mindset
Have a cup of tea
Nature watching
Taking a walk
People watching
Yoga
Stretching
Exercising
Epsom salt bath
Vagus nerve self-massage
Hypnosis
Massage
Set boundaries for yourself
Set boundaries for others
Healthy eating
Sleeping well
Good hygiene
Finding a hobby
When you’re going through bumpy times, it’s best to become aware of them. Proceed toward refocusing on the positives in your life and not the negatives. We can become disillusioned by people, especially when they show acts of unkindness. But that is on them.
You know when you’re being unkind to yourself. We can all be very far from where we think we should be emotionally or energetically. We can base values outside ourselves, instead of working on what creates our inner wholeness. We are given many shamanic and natural signs, where we are asked to turn away from dissension and negativity, and step toward our brighter futures, where we are getting into the practice of getting better and better.

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.
Spring Equinox, Ostara, Eostre, Easter, Vernal Equinox
By Tara Sutphen
Spring Equinox is March 20, 2025 and marks the mid-point of the Waxing Year, the nights and days are balanced once again; the time when Kore, (Persephone) was believed to have returned from the Underworld where she had ruled throughout the Winter. The spark of light, born at Winter Solstice has reached maturity, and from here onwards, the days progressively grow longer than the nights.
Western culture proclaims this the first day of Spring. Older traditions called the Spring Equinox, Ostara; the time of the festivals of the Grecian Goddess, Eostre, and the Germanic Ostara, both fertility Goddesses of Dawn. These influenced the naming of the modern-day Easter Holiday. New greenery bursts forth from sleeping seeds in the countryside, as metaphorically, pagans also plant their own seeds for future goals, future projects and growth at this time. Decorated eggs, being symbols of fertility are symbolic of Ostara.
In days gone, Europeans gave gifts of decorated eggs to new brides, in the hope that they would bear many children. Similarly, bowls filled with eggs were given to farm workers by the farmer’s wife, to ensure a rich harvest. Most all cultures see the egg as a symbol of Life; the actual home of the Soul. In Russia, decorated eggs are still given as gifts to loved ones and buried in graves to ensure rebirth. The women gathered the eggs only from hens which were around a rooster and decorated them, allowing no one to watch them work as they transferred the goodness of the household to the designs on the eggs, thus keeping evil away. Dyes were mixed to secret family recipes and special blessings placed on each egg.
Colors of Ostara Eggs:
White:
Purity
Yellow:
Wisdom, a successful Harvest, or Spirituality
Green:
Spring, rebirth, wealth, youth, growth, happiness
Blue:
Good health, clear skies
Orange:
Power endurance, ambition, courage
Red:
Happiness, hope, passion, nobility, bravery, enthusiasm, love
Brown:
Enrichment, good harvest, happiness
Purple:
Faith, trust, power
Pink:
Success, friendship, love
Black:
Remembrance
Lore:
The custom of eating Hot Cross Buns also has pagan origins. The Saxons ate buns that were marked with a cross in honor of Eostre; Ancient Greeks consumed these types of buns in their celebrations of Artemis, Goddess of the hunt, and the Egyptians ate a similar cake in their worship of the Goddess Isis.
There are conflicting ideas as to what the cross symbol represents. One suggestion is that it is a Christianisation of horn symbols that were stamped on cakes to represent an ox, which used to be sacrificed at the time of the Spring Equinox. Another theory relates to
—Moon worship; the bun representing the full Moon, and the cross, its four quarters. Christianity gave new meanings to the symbolism of the buns, saying the cross represented the Crucifixion Cross. Thus, superstitions arose crediting these buns as being charms against evil, so after Good Friday, people would save one or two of them to hang in their homes as amulets. During the festival season and indeed, for a long time afterwards, fishermen would carry these Easter buns in their boats, for protection.
The Spring Equinox defines the season where Spring reaches it’s peak, with the powers of light increasing. The God of Light, (Llew), now gains victory over his twin, the God of Darkness. Llew was reborn at the Winter Solstice and is now old and strong enough to vanquish his rival twin and mate with his Mother Goddess. The great Mother Goddess, who returned to her Virgin aspect at Imbolc, welcomes the young Sun God’s attentions and conceives a child. The child will be born nine months from now, at the next Winter Solstice, when the cycle closes, only to begin anew.
The Easter Bunny is another symbol which has obvious links to fertility, rebirth, and the abundance of life which is evident in Spring.
Eostre was a playful Goddess whose reign over the earth began in Spring when the Sun King journeyed across the sky in his chariot, bringing the end of Winter. Eostre came down to Earth then, appearing as a beautiful maiden with a basket of bright colorful eggs. Eostre’s magical companion was a rabbit who accompanied her as she brought new life to dying plants and flowers by hiding the eggs in the fields.

This Full Hunters Moon is on the fast track now and seize the moment. Last month was hard while dumping all the past baggage and issues. We are all being urged to get into our next phase. Taking charge, releasing loads of negativity and starting to move toward a better tomorrow. It’s not talking about it, it’s not thinking good thoughts, wisdom only comes when we move our intentions into action. It’s not about rigidly being right or perfectionistic, it’s about getting out of our own head to make the best choices for ourselves. It’s about getting a foothold on forward progress. As we advance we then easily boost ourselves and then facilitate our family and friends.
We are to be constructive in our life… we are builders and not destroyers. We resonate with solid minds and hearts, we hold high regard for integrity and resolve.
Here’s some tips on how to make clear decisions.
Use your Emotions – How do you Feel:

How much time are you willing to work
Are you working smarter not harder
Where do you want to live
What kind of house do you want
Where are your opportunities
What are you afraid of
What are you NOT afraid of
What are your opportunities to date
Who are you committed

B. Use your Intellect – How do you reason:
What do you want your health to be

Everyone knows what’s wrong to do…bad habits, addictions, procrastination or rebelliousness. Bad tempers or isolation, release misfortune and start by being resourceful, capable and enterprising. Learning to listen again. Resonating with the earth and expecting the very best instead of the very worst.

_____It’s not about overthinking right now. Usually in the winter we’re given the chance to rest. But this is a clearing moon…
——“Well, I always know what I want. And when you know what you want–you go toward it. Sometimes you go very fast, and sometimes only an inch a year. Perhaps you feel happier when you go fast. I don’t know. I’ve forgotten the difference long ago, because it really doesn’t matter, so long as you move.”
New Moon 21* Taurus – time to meditate and leave behind frustration or anxiousness. Allow for suggestions of producing results and proactive movement toward manifestation. Complete tasks of unfinished business or projects. Set your feet on the earth to align grounding and to bless your success. ~ #tarasutphen #tarainsight #tarainsightdotcom #hypnotherapy #hypnotherapist #astrology #mooncycles #moon #newmoon
