Blessed be dear Sisters, Brothers and Honored Guests.
Celtic Tree Month 7 – Oak June 10 – July 7
Oak – King of the Forest from ireland-calling.com
The Oak tree is Irelands national tree.
Known as king of the forest for its strength and longevity, the oak is most sacred to the Druids and the word Druid comes from the Celtic word for oak ‘Duir’.
The Oak was revered by many cultures throughout Europe, including the Greeks who associated the tree with the king of the gods Zeus, the Vikings who linked the oak to Thor, the Norse god of thunder and protector of mankind and the Celts with their own god of thunder Taranis relating to the tree.
Lightning strikes
Perhaps it is no coincidence that all these gods, with power over the weather, had an association with the oak tree since the oak is the tree most prone to lightning strikes and when struck will continue to thrive.
Ogham, the mysterious language of the trees The Origins of the Ogham alphabet are still a mystery for many historians, but it is primarily thought to be an early form of the Irish written Language.
Druids believed that when the magical and sacred plant mistletoe grew on an oak tree it had been placed there during a lightning strike and was the most powerful of all the mistletoe.
The Druids had a sacred ceremony for removing mistletoe from the blessed oak using a golden sickle.
This would commence shortly after the new moon following the winter solstice, which may well be a reason why mistletoe is connected to Christmas today.
Inspiration for poets and bards
According to some accounts, one of the five magic trees of Ireland, The Tree of Mugna, was thought to be a mighty oak tree.
This tree was the inspiration for poets and bards, who, in some legends, overturned the tree themselves to save it the humiliation of being cut down by Christian monks as a symbol of paganism, as the other magic trees were.
The Oak is thought to be connected to the movements of the planet Mars. When Mars travels close to the Earth it is believed to stimulate the roots of the oak and when far away, the sun promotes upward growth making the oak one of the largest, most powerful trees in the forest.
Many animals rely on the oak tree for food and shelter and, in turn, regeneration of oak trees partly relies on the help of animals such as forgetful squirrels who bury their acorns as a winter food supply in Autumn, often not remembering where they put them.
Strong oak is used for building
The wood of the oak is very strong and was used in construction of houses and boats, furniture, fencing, barrels, anything where strength was of importance.
Its use in these areas continues today. The bark was used to tan leather and mixed with the leaves was used as an antiseptic tonic for treating infections of the digestive tract, rashes, wounds and burns. When times were hard, acorns were ground down to make bread in replacement of grain.
Oak Moon: June 10 – July 7 information from learnreligions.com
Louisiana’s, USA oldest Oak tree.
The Oak moon falls during a time when the trees are beginning to reach their full blooming stages. The mighty Oak is strong, powerful, and typically towering over all of its neighbors. The Oak King rules over the summer months, and this tree was sacred to the Druids. The Celts called this month Duir, which some scholars believe to mean “door”, the root word of “Druid.” The Oak is connected with spells for protection and strength, fertility, money and success, and good fortune. Carry an acorn in your pocket when you go to an interview or business meeting; it will be bring you good luck. If you catch a falling Oak leaf before it hits the ground, you’ll stay healthy the following year.
A Little Humor for Your Day
I hope the rest of your and your family have a day and evening that is relaxing, filled with fun, laughter, and love. Always remember to take a little me time every day to recharge yourself!

Spell For Tomorrow – Hand of Time Spell
(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)
When dealing with a weekly spell guide, Mondays are thought to be the logical day for money, love, time and meditation spells. Since Mondays are thought to be the start of the work week, it gives plenty of time for a Monday spell to gain strength throughout the rest of the week.
Time Spells – Hand of Time Spell
Items you will need:
Both hands
6 fingers
Hold both of your hands in front of you. Stare at your hands, noticing your palms and fingers, for about thirty seconds. Then, say this chant one time:
“Palms sweaty,
From watching clocks.
No more.
One finger,
For every ten docked.
Seconds in a minute
1440 in a day.
Stop a few,
For singing birds
And trees that sway.”
This should feel like time has slowed-down and allowed you to appreciate life more.

June 10, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

The current moon phase for June 10th, 2025 is the Waxing Gibbous phase.
On this day, the moon is 13.88 days old and 97.9% illuminated with a tilt of 121.931°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 403,199.38 km and the moon sign is Sagittarius.
The Moon phase for June 10th, 2025 is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).
In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.
The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.
Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.
Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

All Signs
Jupiter moves into Cancer this week to stay for a year. In astrology, Jupiter signifies expansion, increase, good fortune and wealth! Jupiter also has a social dimension, and is like the “glue” that holds society together. It “reaches out to include more.” This is why Jupiter has domain over jurisprudence, legal systems, universities, libraries and publishing, as well as people in power. Jupiter is also associated with wisdom and joy. In fact, sometimes Jupiter was called “Jove,” hence, the term “jovial.” Wherever Jupiter moves through your chart indicates an energy that is working smoothly, and helping you to attain your objectives. Not surprisingly, Jupiter is the largest planet. In fact, it’s so big, you could fit ALL of the planets in the solar system inside it — and still have room for three sesame seeds and the heart of a Hollywood producer.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This week Jupiter is moving into the part of your chart relating to home, family, real estate and your private life. Jupiter will bring energy that expands and improves things, which is why many of you will renovate or redecorate where you live. You’ll make your home bigger or more attractive. Or you might move to something better? Likewise, real-estate deals will benefit you. If you buy a new residence, it will increase in value in the future. Or you can make money through real-estate speculation. Family relations will improve. People will be happier at home and family members will be more generous to each other. This is a lovely blessing for the next 12 months!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Hint: this is a wonderful week to buy wardrobe goodies for yourself because you’ll like what you see in the mirror. Meanwhile, this week, Jupiter moves into your Third House to stay for a year. This will increase your contacts with your daily community and the people around you. Your relationships with relatives (especially siblings) will improve and be mutually beneficial. Jupiter will encourage you to make plans for the future that are larger and more expansive! Your thinking will be less subject to self-imposed limitations. You’ll be more optimistic, busier, and will welcome a chance to learn anything new. This is a splendid opportunity for writers, teachers and students.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Good news! Today Jupiter moves into your Money House, which means in the next 12 months, you’ll get richer! (Would I kid you?) To put a finer point on it – Jupiter will actualize in your life what it is that you most value. For many, this will be money and possessions. But for others, it might be something more spiritual. It could be a standard of justice, or a chance for you to increase an aspect of your life that is important to you. This is also your chance to learn how to manage what you own. Wealth and material increase will come to you – but you will understand better how to derive honest pleasure from your assets.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
“Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!” Lucky Jupiter enters your sign this week to stay for the next 12 months. This is extremely fortunate! It signifies the beginning of a major 12-year growth cycle in your life. During this window of time, you will discover who you really are. In addition, Jupiter will give you a warm feeling in your tummy, and make you feel more secure about yourself and the impression you make on others. The year ahead will be an excellent time for learning and gaining new experiences. People and resources will be drawn to you and benefit you. The spiritual dimension of your life will also grow. But in the overall picture, it means the year ahead will be fortunate for you in personal terms. Your self-confidence and poise will increase. You rock!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
It’s interesting because in the bigger picture, (looking at a 30-year cycle), you’re approaching your time of harvest in about two years. That means now is a time of preparation and getting performance ready through courses, further training, or travel so that you have the best tools possible at your disposal when you enter your time of harvest. Meanwhile this week, Jupiter ushers in a one-year window that will increase your focus on your inner world and your spiritual values. Your capacity to learn more about the spiritual and religious dimensions of your life will grow. You will look at others with more compassion. Some of you will be a spiritual teacher for others. Or you might encounter someone who plays this role for you.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Get ready for a wonderful, popular year ahead because lucky Jupiter has just entered your House of Friendship to stay for the next 12 months. Not only will your popularity increase; friends will be more supportive to you. You will also make new friends. Many of you will join clubs and organizations. Meanwhile, your ideals, hopes and wishes for the future will play a more important role in your life. Your idealism will grow. You might become more of an activist because you want to improve the world around you. Note: Whatever you do in the coming year will come back to in an even greater quantity.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
For the next 12 months, Jupiter will travel across the top of your chart, highlighting your profession, your career, your social status and your reputation in the community. You’ll try hard to move ahead in these areas. Because of your enhanced public image, many of you will get a promotion at work, public recognition, and certainly, the esteem of your peers. This is a time of success! Many of you will travel more. However, some will instead use this opportunity to change your field of work to medicine, healing, the law, higher education and travel. If so, don’t expect a promotion. Gather ye rosebuds while ye may!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Make sure your passport is up-to-date and your luggage is at hand because in the next 12 months, chances to travel will abound! In addition, you can explore opportunities in higher education, legal matters, publishing, the media and medicine (Think back to 2013-14. Were these activities stronger then?) In a nutshell, you’ll pursue activities that expand your experience of the world. Many of you will become more involved with foreign people or foreign countries. This is an excellent window for writing and publishing. You might also be interested in a human potential movement or a consciousness-raising group.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Your financial picture will improve in the next 12 months because lucky Jupiter is entering one of your Money Houses, specifically the House that deals with inheritances, shared property, anything that is jointly owned, plus the wealth and resources of others, especially your partner. For example, you might benefit indirectly because someone close to you gets richer. You will also attract money to you through financial institutions. It’s a great time to ask for a loan or a mortgage because people will be willing to help you. Some might experience a religious or spiritual regeneration, or explore the occult, or mystical literature because you want answers to hidden secrets.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
For the first time since 2013-14, lucky Jupiter will be opposite your sign for the next 12 months. This will improve your closest friendships and partnerships in a beautiful way. (Even with your enemies!) That’s why this is the best window in over a decade for Capricorns to get married. Since others benefit you this year, including members of the general public, it’s an excellent time to get professional help through experts like lawyers, doctors, consultants or astrologers. You might deepen a relationship with someone from another country or a different culture. Those who marry this year might marry someone slightly older or more established. Ka-ching!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Jupiter changing signs this week is most fortuitous because in the bigger picture, you’re entering a two to three-year window where job changes and residential moves (perhaps both) – are highly likely. (Even if you don’t think so.) Meanwhile, as Jupiter moves into Cancer this week, it means that in the next 12 months (longer for some of you), you will have marvellous opportunities to improve your existing job or get a better job! For example, your dreadful boss might suddenly get transferred to Timbuktu. Your problems at work will be diminished. (But if you’re moving on to something better – who cares?) In a nutshell, this is your best time in over a decade to get a better job, improve your health and experience joy with your pets.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Lucky you! You can count on an exciting, promising year ahead because lucky Jupiter is now entering the most fun-filled part of your chart! In the next 12 months, you’ll enjoy sitting back and enjoying the good life. Your creative potential will be enormous. Your health will feel invigorated, and you’ll have an increased sense of well-being. Financial matters will improve. Vacations, travel for pleasure, romance and anything related to sports and the education or care of children will get a lovely benefit. Relations with others will improve tremendously. In fact, romance with someone from a radically different background or another country might occur. You won’t feel it’s necessary to hide from the world. You want greater freedom of self-expression!

Spell For Tomorrow – Manifesting Change Water Spell
(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)
Manifesting Change Water Spell
Water is a transformative element that constantly changes form from cloud to rain, river to vapor, trickle to ice, and carries the energy of change in all its forms.
You will need:
Clean, resealable glass bottle
Glitter
1. Go outside on a cold, sunny day and find some icicle (Side note: you can use ice cubes made from rain water or a natural water source in place of icicles placed in a funnel)
2.Hold the bottle underneath an icicle to catch the meltwater as it drips.
3. While holding the bottle, recite the incantation:
Water clear and bright, Changing, taking flight
Go from cold to warm, Help me to transform.”
4. Add a few pinches of glitter into the bottle. Seal the bottle and shake it to mix the water and glitter.
Whenever you need to manifest a desired change in your life, shake the bottle and watch the water and glitter swirl. Remember the energy of the icicles changing to water and focus that energy on your goal.
Spell For Tuesday – Energy Building: Quick Chant to Manifest your Need
(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)
Energy Building: Quick Chant to Manifest your Need
Want to help your need manifest faster? The key to helping your spells and intentions manifest faster is to have emotion and energy behind the intent! One of our favorite ways to raise energy, aside from drumming and dancing, is chanting! The elements are used heavily within this charm because they are the building blocks of existence on our plane.
This quick chant will help you find the rhythm of your circle’s energy, harness it, and add it to your spell. Simply:
- Begin chanting the following chant plus your spell.
- Feel the elemental building blocks of energy inside of your space.
- Know that they are aiding in your spell’s manifestation!
- When you feel the speed and energy of the chant mounting, dare to be silent and know that the charm has worked.
Quick Chant to Manifest your Need
This chant can be said with visualization or by passing your written spell over and through the elements as you say them. Always follow your heart and intuition.
As always, spells are worked best within a protective circle where energy can be contained and released intentionally.
Air for intellect
Fire to warm
Water for emotion
Earth to form
[Say your spell or intention for manifestation here]
Repeat as necessary.
