Full Moon in Sagittarius:
The Body Temple, the Light Bulb and Crystal Visions

Hello friends. Ah it’s that time of year again for the Full Moon in Sagittarius along with the Sun in Gemini. Though I normally don’t delve into the other planetary aspects too much in my Full Moon reports, I do mention what I think is relevant. In this case it would be Mercury (Retrograde) and Mars both currently in Gemini. This Retrograde period as predicted and expected has offered us much more than the usual communication irritations and snafus. That is, for the folks really paying attention and I know you are dear readers! We’ve also had a strong presence of Neptune which is including the energy of the “depths” which is adding to the transformation potential and “aha!” moments.

AUM is where the Heart is

Both Gemini and Sagitarius (Air/Fire respectively) are not energies to sit anything out, usually. They are both active and mental but on both sides of the mental spectrum. Gemini is the “Reporter” archetype and likes to explore multiple views. The shadow energy being flightly, superficial and/or too distracted to commit. Sagittarius on the other hand loves altruism and the pursuit of truth, especially spiritual or idealogical ones. The shadow is too become too dogmatic, preachy or even intractible, which isn’t always usual for a mutable sign. There is a rather frenetic “buzz” that usually accompanies this Full Moon and it can make some people edgy or even irritated. This current Retrograde period has been deeply transformative and introspective, not usually the domain of Gemini necessarily, but there is a greater overarching cosmic direction happening here. We are in a powerful year of karmic manifestation and magnification, where unknown or hidden things may have continued to come to light. One key I feel, is to utilize the Jupiterian (expansive) energy of Sagittarius and fly above the “buzz” and straight into the Hum or the AUM/OM; a place of great peace, spiritual communication and magic. Sagittarius is also the realm of spiritual optimism, which may be a great healing “medicine” to some of the tougher energies of late, especially the “karmic blender” of late March and April.

Now there I go again I see, the crystal vision. I keep my visions to myself. ~ Stevie Nicks “Dreams”

This moon is impacted by two Sabian Symbols and my feeling is that in the unfolding of its energy we will experience both. 11 Sagittarius: In The Left Section Of An Archaic Temple, A Lamp Burns In A Container Shaped Like A Human Body. This has been related to “physical enlightenment” and the concept that enlightment occurs “at home” and not anywhere else. It is also a reference to the holiness of the human being and the body as a temple in itself. Do you have any physical or emotional challenges impeding you? Listen to the messages they offering. Allow your own priest/ess of the temple to shed light on the situation. The 11th degree in the Sabian Symbol system has been referred to as the “light bulb” degree.

12 Sagittarius: A Flag Turns Into An Eagle; The Eagle Into A Chanticleer Saluting The Dawn. To me, this is quite clear in that the flag which symbolizes territory, land and nationality transforms into something much greater; a system of Great Spirit/Source which flys above it, seeing it all. Saluting the dawn also has a beautiful connotation. This would normally be more associated with a New Moon as opposed to a Full one with its sense of a creative stillpoint, but I think for the current energies it’s particularly appropriate.

Keynote: If one can tune into the higher, healing frequencies of this moon and ignore the static and the tendency to overthink (or overspeak) it, there is great potential for spiritual connection, communication and vision.

Happy Full Moon friends!

NOTE: The Full Moon in Sagittarius is 6.2.15 at 9:19 am PDT/12:19 PM EDT.

Weekly Forecast: May 31 – June 6, 2015

a message from Kelly M. Beard
Read more of Kelly’s insight as www.KarmicTools.com
The Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast covers the current planetary transits which affect people in different ways and to various degrees of intensity. Take notice when it is a Personal planet (Sun / Moon / Mercury / Venus / Mars) interacting with a Social (Jupiter/Saturn) or Collective planet (Uranus / Neptune/Pluto). And pay extremely close attention when it is a Social planet interacting with a Collective planet because that means something *big* is brewing that will move large groups of people along their evolutionary paths. Tuning in to the energy and rhythm of the planets can serve as a useful *guide* as you move along your Individual Path. It also helps to understand your place within the context of the larger Social & Collective Story. Below, you will find out how these energies tend to manifest, as well as guidance and direction.

*NOTE* There are some days when there are NO CONTACTS (besides the Moon), please note that there are no missing entries, we just list the actual Activations of each week + the day they happen.
Weekly Forecast: May 31 – June 6, 2015

5/31 ~ Sun (core identity) ~square~ Neptune (dissolution):

Your energy may be lower than usual today. This is the Universe’s way of slowing you down, momentarily. Take it easy and put off anything that can be put off. You may feel pessimistic, however, it will pass. In the meantime, try not to do anything that requires confidence or courage. If you do take on an ambitious project, you may find later that your objectives were totally unrealistic and/or impossible to attain. Be aware of any urge to deceive – in your Self or others. Take those rose-colored glasses off and deal with what IS, not what you wish it was.

6/5 ~ Mars (your desire) ~sextile~ Jupiter (your Truth):

This energy will help you figure out what your deepest desires and Truth really are if you are not sure, and if you ARE sure already, then this is a potent opportunity to take things to the next level. You will have lots of extra energy, so definitely work in some physical activity (but don’t over-do it), make any presentations you need to make, negotiate any contracts or deals you need to because all is supported for you knowing who you are and what you want in a way that conveys without much effort on your part. The effort required to activate this easy energy is to actively pursue your desires, to expand your horizons by learning something new, by being around other like-minded souls and putting that extra energy behind some worthy project … YOU!

6/6 ~ Venus (love & money) ~trine~ Saturn (stability):

This energy tends to make you very realistic about your relationships and is, therefore, a good time to talk about any recent challenges or future plans. Venus is the energy of love and money, so you will also be objective and somewhat conservative where both your relationships and finances are concerned. With this interaction with Saturn, I would suggest outlining a reasonable financial goals for the next 3 – 6 – 12 months. Relationships started under this influence should be fairly stable and more practical than passionate, but solid nonetheless.

June 1

All life, even in its lowest form, is energy.
—Plontinus

Traditionally, the first day of June was set aside for the festival of Carna, the Roman Goddess of door hinges, and thus domestic life. She was thought to dwell in a sacred wood called Locus Helerni, on the banks of the Tiber River. It was there that sacrifices were made to Carna by the pontiffs to ensure the well-being of the community.

Carna also held responsibility for the protection of the people from vampires that took the form of semi-human birds who tried to suck the blood of unattended newborn babies. According to Robert Graves The White Goddess, it was only the priestess who cooked her feast food of white beans and pork, that served during the festivities.

Monday Is Ruled by the Moon

This day of the week is dedicated to the moon and all of her magic and mystery. Mondays are for women’s mysteries, illusion, prophetic dreaming, emotions, travel, and fertility. Some suggestions for Monday enchantments would include:

Getting outside and looking for the moon in the heavens. Sit under her light and absorb a little glamour. Call on the moon goddess Selene for practical help in magical issues.

Invoking the god Thoth for wisdom and insight

Empowering your silver jewelry under the light of the moon. Wear moonstone or pearl jewelry today to add a lunar and magical shimmer to your outfit. Be mysterious and subtle and wear moon-associated colors such as white, silver, and blue.

Working spells for safe travel with a simple moonstone

Gathering bluebells, jasmine, gardenias, or white roses to create a little garden witchery with the flowers that are associated with the moon

Setting up a lunar Tarot spell today to increase your psychic powers

Eating a lunar fruit such as a melon to be healthy, serene, and at peace

Brewing up a cup of chamomile or mint tea and enchanting it for sweet dreams and restful sleep

The sacred day of the Moon, personified by such goddesses as Selene, Luna, Diana, and Artemis. The Moon is ruler of flow affecting the changeable aspects of people.

If a full moon falls on a Monday, its powers are at their most potent. Magical aspects: peace, sleep, healing, compassion, friendships, psychic awareness, purification, and fertility

Monday is ruled by the moon – an ancient symbol of mystery and peace. Monday is a special day for mothers as the cycle of the moon has long been associated with the female menstrual cycle. Those wishing to conceive a baby would be wise to try on a Monday as the magic of motherhood is strong and pregnancy is in the air.

This is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving agriculture, animals, female fertility, messages, reconciliation’s, theft, voyages, dreams, emotions, clairvoyance, home, family, medicine, cooking, personality, merchandising, psychic work, Faerie magic, and Goddess rituals

Monday Is A Day of Witchery, Magick and Enchantment

Think for a moment on all of the witchery, magick and enchantments that you have discovered. Don’t be afraid to adjust spells to suit your own specific needs. Any gentle, illusory, and dreamy charms and spells can be enhanced when you work on the day of the week that is dedicated to the moon. Mondays are a fantastic day to boost your psychic abilities and to tune in to your intuition and empathy. It also gives you the opportunity to work with a different lunar phase each and every Monday, which means in one month you could work four different types of moon magicks on Mondays. How’s that for adding to your repertoire? You are going to have mad skills in no time at all.

So light up those lunar scented candles and add a little mystique to your outfit by wearing an enchanting lunar color. Wear your sparkling silver jewelry and maybe add a pair of dangling silver earrings or a pendant shaped like a crescent moon. Create lunar potions and philters; make a dream catcher and give it as a gift to someone you love. Burn some sandalwood or jasmine-scented incense today to inspire the glamour and magick of the moon. Slice up a favorite variety of fruit that is in season for a snack or share it with your love and enjoy his or her lunar and romantic qualities. Brew up a cup of chamomile tea, enchant it with a little moon magick, and relax and get a good night’s sleep.

Most importantly, get outside tonight and watch the moon for a while. What phase is she in? What color was the moon as she rose? Why not start a journal and write down at what location the moon rises and sets for a few seasons? This is a great way to teach you to tune in and to become more aware of the moon and the influence that she pulls into our lives. Try calling on Selene for her magickal assistance, and call Thoth for wisdom and strength. Get to know the Norse Mani and the Latvian Meness. These gods of the moon have plenty to teach, and if you allow their influence to cycle through your life, you’ll receive many blessings. Be imaginative, and create your own personal lunar magick and witchery. Go on….the moonlight becomes you.

Monday Magick Ruler: Moon Colors: Silver and white

Power Hours: Moonrise.

Key Words: Magick, dreams, health, love, home and family In the word Monday, we can see part of the word Moon.

In the romance languages such as Italian or Spanish, this day of the week is called Lunes and clearly relates to the word lunar.

On Mondays, a variety of magick may be worked. Because Monday centers on the energies of the Moon, things like psychism, dreams, feminine energy, health, success in spiritual pursuits, domestic matters, and things of family origin are especially important this day. Mondays are best for love magick and anything concerning home or family, thus old saying, Mondays child is fair of face, which seems clearly to relate to the themes of love and health.

Angels of Monday are Gabriel, Arcan, Missabu, and Abuzaha. Arcan is known as the king of the angels of air and the “ruler” of Monday. Abuzaha (Abuzohar) serves Monday, and is very responsive to invocations and ritual magick.

Missabu is a ministering angel of Arcan. Check whether the moon is waning or waxing to determine what your spell will be. During waning moons, do spells to rid yourself of obstacles or for wisdom and protection. During waxing moons do magic for increase of any kind or to draw something into your life. On Mondays, the best hour to work is moonrise.

Witches

As the sun sets
The moon rises.
We are called.
Gathering deep in the forest
Our capes flap in the wind.
Hoods covering our head
As we form our circle
Hand in hand we take our places.
The elements are called forth:
Wind, rain, earth and fire.
We are filled with their energy.
In a low chant We call for our Mother.
The Goddess answers our call,
She stands before us,
Center in our circle.
We lower our heads to her grace.
Our circle is filled with her love.
Energy flows from her to us.
Slowly we rise;
Our feet no longer touch the ground.
Wind rips through the trees.
Flames raise high from the fire.
Rain beats on the earth below
Yet, we remain dry.
Power transfers from Sister to Sister.
The Goddess’s influence is felt.
Sounds from the forest fill the air.
All is alive.
Energy fills all there,
We know who we are,
The Witches of the present.
Those long past have joined us.
We know our beginning.
We know our past.
We know our future,
Witches now and forever.
