Howdy Ya’ll! Have A Very Happy Thursday!

Days Of The Week Comments
How’s my dear friends doing today? I hope fine. I have the sun is shining and your spirit is soaring. And I hope you are excited about our Blessed Sabbat that is coming, Yule. I know this year I am very excited about Yule. Or perhaps, I just forget how excited I was last. So I think I am more excited the next year. But I will be so glad when Yule gets here. I was going to mention this when Samhain was on the way but I didn’t. I think it is time to let the magick flow on this blog.  Now I know you are wondering what I am talking about. I think everyone knows that we have the chatbox down on the right-hand side. I was thinking on the night of Yule, doing a simple ritual or blessing. It wouldn’t be anything complicated nor would it be anything to make you uncomfortable. All you would have to do is answer every now and then with a “So Mote It Be” or a “Blessed Be.”

 

 We had an online ritual in the old group. You could feel the ower moving through the computer screen. It was an unbelievable experience. Since then, I have always wanted to do another one. If there is enough people interested, I will get a regular chatroom somewhere. That chatbox on the box you can harder read, I might do it anyway. Well there something to chew over! Think about it and let me hear from you. I would love to do another online ritual.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, December 12th

If some of your pep and dynamism have been restricted as of late, it might be due to the recent Mercury reversal in Sagittarius that has been in effect since November 23. This doesn’t mean Mercury has been a bad or negative celestial influence – only that it hasn’t been moving in the same direction as the Sun and Moon (the two luminaries in the sky). Once Mercury makes its station tomorrow and returns to direct motion, it is easier for your mental interests and communication skills to line up creatively with your overall character (Sun) and personality expression (Moon). Meanwhile, as Mercury slows down in its retrograde cycle today, you want to strive to maintain productivity across the board as the Sun squares Ceres (3:32AM PST). This largest asteroid – Ceres – has much to do with productivity via its affiliations with Mother Nature, agriculture, gardening, food, diet and nutrition. Fortunately, 7 hours after the Sun moves 90-degrees to Ceres, Venus makes a constructive, 60-degree link to Ceres (10:46AM PST) – helping you stay busy and active with favorite arts, crafts and hobbies. Hit the scientific, metaphysical and astrological books this evening – courtesy of a subtle and yet still supportive, 30-degree tie from Jupiter in Taurus to Uranus in Aries (9:24PM PST). Once Jupiter shifts its retrograde energy-field to direct motion on Christmas Day, it will eventually play catch up with Uranus to form another one of these 30-degree links on January 17, 2012. While the 30-degree aspect is considered minor by most astrologers, it still has the power to give you a lift or breakthrough that can change your life for the better.

New Moon Report for December 10th – Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Gemini

New Moon Report

By Jeff Jawer

 

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Gemini

Saturday, December 10, 6:38 am PST, 9:38 am EST

The opposition of the Moon in multi-faceted Gemini and the Sun in philosophical Sagittarius always increases mental activity and intensifies conversations. This one, though, is also a lunar eclipse meant to reduce distractions so we can focus on one task at a time. Mars in meticulous Virgo reinforces this principle with its squares to the Sun and Moon. Conflicts may arise over minor matters or system failures. Yet concentrating on the work that must be done will turn nervous energy in a productive direction and replace excessive chatter with constructive action.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 10th

Stop, look and listen! Not only is Uranus still motionless in early Aries, but a potent New Moon (energizing 19 degrees of Sagittarius and Gemini) clocks in at 6:37AM PST – just 4 minutes after a Total Lunar Eclipse occurs at 6:33AM PST. Individual and group meditations are encouraged. Send out your healing thoughts and prayers to friends, family, associates, and the kingdoms of nature. Open the gates of knowledge and see yourself evolving as a wisdom-keeper. Realize that the simultaneous station of Uranus is adding an enormous dynamism to today’s potential achievements across the board. New ideas, containing enormous power to change the consciousness of the masses, are streaming into the Earth – just waiting for your eager mind to seize the day and turn your life around for the ultimate good. While everything that is serious and profound is accentuated – thanks to both the presence of the Full Moon as well as a flowing trine from the Moon in Gemini to Saturn in Libra (11:06PM PST) – word, board or card games can top the charts. Put more oomph into beloved hobbies and favorite arts and crafts. Weather permitting – fly a kite, kick a soccer ball around or toss the Frisbee to a pal or well-trained pet canine. Watch out for the shadow side of the Sagittarius and Gemini energy-field which sometimes create split-personality vibrations and dualistic thinking that sustain unnecessary worries and self-doubts. Focus more on helping and nurturing dear ones than pushing your own agenda.

The Sexiest Zodiac Signs

The Sexiest Zodiac Signs

  • Mel, selected from DivineCaroline

By Sage Romano, DivineCaroline

I’ve always had great luck with Capricorns. Tauruses? Yawn. Geminis? Maybe, if you like all that talking. Leos? Self-absorbed drama queens. My romantic history is a constellation of personalities and capabilities and experiences, but there’s obviously something about my Virgo sensibilities that jibes with the patience that the average Capricorn bestows upon the act of tossing a girl’s salad. Or did you think I was talking about something else? We’re not interested in love matches here, people. This is all about that other kind of chemistry and which signs of the Zodiac are guaranteed to be a good time and which might be a great time.

Aries: The Minute Man
This fire sign is known for being a pretty straight shooter. Aries will have no compunction at all about sharing his or her raunchiest ideas about what to do in the sack. The problem with straight shooters, though, is that they always like to get right to the point. So count on an Aries to take charge and get you where you want to go—in a hurry.

Taurus: The Romancer
Where Aries is all lusty impulse, Taurus takes his or her time. Plan on being wined and dined, perhaps to the point of frustration. And once the Taurus has decided you’re the one for the job, prepare yourself for plenty of foreplay. If romance is your thing, Taurus is your sign.

Gemini: The Talker
The Gemini will bring all his or her intellect to bear upon getting bare. If you have simpler, quieter tastes, you might be a little shocked by Gemini’s saucy, seductive monologues. But if phone sex and dirty talking gets your motor humming, a Gemini is what you’re looking for. But be prepared to not get a word in edgewise.

Cancer: The Love Maker
Cancers are highly emotional signs, which means that sex is not merely a mechanical physical undertaking; rather it is expected to be a poetic act of beauty and love and all that good stuff. If you’re going to get naked with a Cancer, prepare yourself for an intense ride. And perhaps some post-coital crying.

Leo: The Narcissist
The passionate and adventurous nature of the Leo cannot be surpassed. There is no end to the imaginative ways a Leo will come up with for you to pleasure him or her. Those cats are born sexual dominants who ooze lusty confidence, and they’re unapologetic about it. While your romp with the lion will be memorable, for sure, best remember your satisfaction will be a secondary matter.

Virgo: The Closet Nympho
You might be surprised to learn that shy, demurring Virgo would ever be ready to rock without than fistfuls of condoms and spanking clean bed sheets. The reserved demeanor of the earthy virgins doesn’t hint at their inner lustiness. Once your Virgo knows and trusts you, watch out. You won’t get a moment’s peace.

Libra: The Connoisseur
The Libra is an artiste when it comes to knocking boots. They seek out a perfect harmony with their partner, luxuriating in every detail, and they go big on romantic accoutrements such as lingerie, massage oil, and soft music. You know, so it’s just like a bad porno—perhaps it even includes a fortuitously timed visit from the pizza guy.

Scorpio: The Leg-Humper
Fiery, licentious Scropio is the horn dog of the zodiac. While their sexual prowess and magnetism can hardly be ignored, getting in bed with a scorpion can have its sting. While you will probably get the ride of your life, Scorpio’s love ’em and leave ’em approach to sex could leave less lusty signs cold.

 

Sagittarius: The Don Juan (or Juanita)
A master of the art of seduction, a Sagittarius is all about the hunt. They hone their powers of seduction, pouncing upon their objects of desire only after rendering them utterly helpless in the face of their sexual deftness.

Capricorn: The Slow Boat
Capricorn can come across as a lumbering kind of lover. Slow to make the first move, patient to the point of impertinence once the ball does get rolling, Caps may not wow with skill and energy in the sack, but they will steadily, diligently apply themselves to the all-you-can-eat buffet of their lover. Be patient with a Capricorn, and you will be well rewarded.

Aquarius: The Toy Collector
If you’re someone who is put off by the idea of a velvet box full of scintillating, slippery, and battery-operated accoutrements under your lover’s bed, it’s best you steer clear of Aquarius. Always ready to experiment with any number of the paths to pleasing themselves and their partners, the Aquarian will bring more to the party than some signs can take.

Pisces: Old Faithful
Much like Cancer, Pisces will value the emotional connectivity of sex over the physical one. Passion, love, attention, patience—these will all come into play with your Pisces lover. But you’ll likely have to do most of the work. The fish are notoriously lazy lays, preferring to kick back and bask in the attentions of their beloved. Might want to take a cue from Aquarius and bring some party favors to keep things interesting.

Friday, December 02, 2011

 
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Musical inspiration will strike you today, and you’ll invent some sort of new instrument that looks like a Hoover vacuum bag with a few bits of odd plumbing sticking out of it. The good thing is, the instrument will rivet people’s attention to such a degree that you can indulge your tendency towards cross-dressing without anyone noticing!
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
You will be chased through the streets tonight by a group of wild-eyed short people wearing togas and playing kazoos. Be careful — they may have escaped from a birthday party, and should be considered armed and dangerous.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
High winds today. Good day to try out your new cement kite!
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Today you will lose all self-control. You’ll find it again tomorrow, though — it just rolled under the couch.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Someone will try to give you an egg salad sandwich today. Refuse them. Be polite, yet firm.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
You will try to alleviate the boredom you feel by making something creative with twine. Fortunately, it will work, but you’ll need a lot of twine.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Excellent time to race one of those little Shriners cars up and down the sidewalk twenty thousand million times. Also, you’ll meet an angel, but don’t let on that you know who she really is.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Try to think of life as a game, today. For fun, make up new rules.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Good day to excavate. You will find the ruins of an ancient civilisation, and become famous.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
About your new idea… Sure, I’ll bet you could sell your handmade voodoo dolls by marketing them over the Internet. The competition, however, can be “fierce”. You might want to stop and consider how many flights of stairs you’re interested in falling down, before you commit yourself to that course of action…
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Excellent time to show the world that plaid and stripes do too mix. (Tip #12 of Arnold Pinknobble’s “How To Get Noticed”.)
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Your path divides soon. On the one hand lies potato salad, followed by severe pain, thrashing about, seizures, and a horrible death. On the other hand lies Cole slaw. It’s a pity that you don’t like Cole slaw.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 30th

Daily Cosmic Calendar

by Mark Lerner for Astrology.com

Be more creative with literary pursuits in the early hours – thanks to a Moon-Mercury 60-degree alliance (5:37AM PST). Mercury continues in its reversal in Sagittarius, but is still active today as it makes a frictional, 135-degree link to giant Jupiter (11:35AM PST) and an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with far-out Neptune (3:17PM PST). Of these two mercurial connections, the one to Jupiter is clearly the most challenging since it can equate with temporary snafus on the communication and transportation fronts. However, Mercury in league with psychic-imaginative Neptune can provide you with a slew of revelations. Meanwhile, the investment picture is turned on and glowing since the Moon makes its monthly union with Vesta in Aquarius (4:24PM PST). From the positive perspective, this signals an opportunity to learn much more about how stock, bond, commodity and precious-metal markets work. In addition, with the Moon in conjunction with Vesta, it makes sense to focus attention on improving safety and security measures around your home and business. Communicate with key female figures or soul-sisters in your circle of relatives, associates and friends. Gear up for a rousing and intense start of December 2011 since the Moon unites with dream-weaver Neptune tomorrow morning followed shortly thereafter by the annual Venus union with Pluto. You need to be very alert, clear-minded and down-to-earth as November morphs into December.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, November 29th

Daily Cosmic Calendar

 
 
During the last two days of November, the universe appears to be backing you up to an extraordinary degree. The tempestuous days of last week may seem like an old memory and the upcoming challenges that will strike during the first four days of December are still waiting in the wings. Between today and tomorrow, today receives the greater potential glory. Aquarius Moon is highlighting the need to focus more attention on group projects, team sports, community participation, and global causes close to your heart and mind. Pallas is a big and positive influence as the Sun in Sagittarius forms a supportive, 60-degree rapport with this wisdom-magnifying asteroid in Aquarius (9:40AM PST) while the Moon merges its energy-field with Pallas at Noon PST. Add on a highly constructive, 60-degree alliance of the Moon and Sun (12:10PM PST), and there are several hours when you can demonstrate your problem-solving skills with a flourish. Pallas super-strong can also give you a boost with strategy-sessions, research, and enhancing the power of your immune system. Try your luck at playing chess, backgammon or a favorite card game. Keep a notebook nearby your bed overnight to record Technicolor dreams and nocturnal soul-wanderings as the Moon parallels Neptune (10:34PM PST). The Moon linking up with Neptune can also stimulate your urge to improvise on a favorite musical instrument, experiment with a video camera or imagine new dance routines.

Cosmic Calendar for Saturday, November 26th

If you are really tuned into the cosmic beat, this can be a very successful weekend — especially in living closer to your philosophy of life and making huge strides on the career horizon. Giving you an early boost are the monthly Moon-Mercury union in Sagittarius (2:04AM PST) and Venus entering Capricorn (4:37AM PST) until December 20. Yes, it’s true that Mercury is in reverse, but the Moon with Mercury is still something that can be encouraging for learning across the board. And Venus in Capricorn can imbue your professional plans with new magnetism and power. The Moon in Sagittarius begins a short void twilight zone at 4:07PM PST, and this uncertainty time-span lasts until 7:06PM PST when the Moon enters hard-driving Capricorn. Meanwhile, Venus – having just entered Capricorn – forms a dicey square with radical-change agent Uranus in Aries (6:28PM PST). This is akin to a neon light flashing for lovers – with a warning not to overdo a good thing and to strive toward greater sensitivity to avoid a breakdown in communication. Fortunately, the energy-field flips around shortly thereafter as Venus makes a supportive, 60-degree alliance with healing-master Chiron (7:36PM PST), the Moon unites with Venus (8:28PM PST) and forms a flowing trine to Jupiter (10:02PM PST). When the Moon harmonizes with both Venus and Jupiter, you definitely need to pay attention and extract every bit of happiness and exuberance from their encounters

Cosmic Calendar for Friday, November 25th

If you feel you made it through the mine field of mental, emotional and physical stress during the last 72-hours with enormous courage and accomplishments, give yourself several rows of psychic gold and silver stars. Believe it or not, the universe is almost depleted of attack weaponry for the time being and leaves you with a lot of free time and space to sort out your next steps on terra firma. The Moon in Sagittarius is definitely courting you by dangling carrots in the form of fun, games, sports and outdoor adventures. Because the New Moon is behind you, there is an urge to push forward across the board despite the fact that Mercury is retrograde. Keep in mind that this doesn’t mean Mercury is bad or negative. It simply means that Mercury is moving in counterpoint to the Sun’s direct motion. As such, Mercury is encouraging you to review what has happened – particularly in your business affairs, travels and correspondence – during the last few months, and come up with fixes, changes and improvements. If there is one last battle ground occurring today, it is likely to happen around the time that Mars parallels Jupiter (8:42PM PST). Both celestial bodies are at 10+ degrees north of the Celestial Equator and this can function like a zodiacal union where your optimistic mind-set (Jupiter) is energized (Mars) to full capacity. On the other hand, if anger and volatility (Mars) are floating around in your neck of the woods, instead of being successful (Jupiter) in your key fields of expertise, you could suffer a breakdown where pride and arrogance (negative side of Mars and Jupiter combined) force you to cry uncle and ask for forgiveness or a helping hand from dear ones.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for Nov. 25th – 27th

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Rollercoaster Romance

November 25 – 27

Get ready for a wild weekend that’s filled with adventure and excitement. Plans can change in an instant and emotions may ride a seesaw of attraction and repulsion that makes it hard to know where things stand. The Moon in enthusiastic Sagittarius joins the outgoing Sun very late on Thursday night. This New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse, provoking powerful feelings and sometimes fears of loss or abandonment. But this is no time to sentimentally hold on to old patterns or expectations. The decks are clear so that relationships can be viewed from a fresh perspective. Of course, sunny Sagittarius sometimes raises hopes so high that it’s very hard to live up to them, so avoid making (or believing in) promises that are unlikely to be kept.

Messages are very mixed on Saturday as the love planet Venus enters reliable and committed Capricorn, where well-thought-out plans are essential ingredients to romance. But Venus’ stressful square with unpredictable Uranus produces sudden shifts of mood. Being open to new experiences is a good way to use this experimental energy since traditional activities are likely to seem boring. Be careful; hasty decisions might shake up current partnerships more than you want or encourage leaping into the arms of a new lover too soon.

New Moon Report for Nov. 24 – New Moon Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius

Thursday, November 24, 10:10 pm PST, Friday, November 25, 1:10 am EST

New Moons are usually characterized by a sense of freshness and initiative, but this one is a solar eclipse that puts a backward spin on the lunation cycle. Even though it’s in forward-thinking Sagittarius, the Moon’s shadow crossing the Sun is a reminder to take a step back and rethink our beliefs and re-examine our ideas about the future. Letting go of outdated expectations and rigid moral judgments is necessary before progress can be made. Inventive Uranus in Aries’ favorable trine to this Sun-Moon conjunction opens channels of innovation, but a tense square from energetic Mars in efficient Virgo demands a high degree of attention to current tasks.

The New Moon in visionary Sagittarius casts eyes toward distant horizons of unexplored possibilities. However, this lunation is a solar eclipse that will punish runaway egos and irresponsible behavior. The success of great journeys is built on carefully planned steps that may seem trivial or tedious at the time, yet can take us as far as our imaginations can go.

Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, November 22nd

There is a rather tempestuous vibration happening not just today, but stretched over the next three days. The reason is that the Sun enters Sagittarius this morning (8:09AM PST), but Mercury is slowing down as it nears its three-week retrograde cycle (starting late tomorrow night), and a Partial Solar Eclipse will happen on Thursday night. In between this morning’s solar shift and Thursday evening’s solar-lunar union, we have a large number of solar, lunar and planetary interactions. Translation? There will be many ups and downs, favorable and unfavorable time-periods, and the need for a lot of adjustments during this 72-hour celestial roller-coaster ride. Today may hold a major key to interpersonal and business contentment as Venus makes a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Saturn (12:20AM PST), the Moon in Libra unites with Saturn (9:44AM PST), and the Moon then forms a supportive, 60-degree connection with Venus (10:31AM PST). The Sun’s entry into Sagittarius (8:09AM PST) is also a step in the right direction as you can put greater emphasis on reaching long-sought literary and educational goals. In addition, enjoying the great outdoors and revving your engines in a favorite sport are recommended. Try not to diminish your productivity quotient when Ceres makes an abrasive, 45-degree link to Jupiter (10:24AM PST). You may be able to tweak this alignment into helping you forge more wholesome dietary and nutritional plans. Meanwhile, the Moon trines Neptune in air signs (3:05PM PST) – a lunar alignment that simultaneously starts a void uncertainty zone lasting until 5:59PM PST when the Moon enters Scorpio. Healing forces are back on center stage tonight as the Moon trines Chiron in water signs (7:08PM PST) while the Sun approaches a square to Chiron (becoming exact at 1:14AM PST tomorrow). Even though the Sun is going to square Chiron, the Sun will trine Uranus shortly afterwards. Therefore, the overnight energy-field is fairly potent and electrifying. Studies about ancient civilizations, ruins, oracles, pyramid power, numerology, astrology, and similar subjects can prove enlightening.

New Moon Report for Nov. 10th – Mars in Virgo

Mars in Virgo

Thursday, November 10, 8:15 pm PST, 11:15 pm EST

While hearts and minds (Venus and Mercury) romp in playful Sagittarius, energetic Mars has to buckle down and take care of business in practical Virgo. Mastering techniques, improving skills and acting with precision are among its tasks. Competence grows with this efficient transit but a tendency to nitpick can be irritating. Criticism, though, can be useful when it comes with instructions that show how to make things better.

Pushing the Limits

October 28 – 30

Unlimited enthusiasm and an irrepressible taste for adventure can take you on some wild and crazy rides on Friday and Saturday. The Moon is in fiery Sagittarius whose Archer is aiming his arrows at faraway places and far-flung experiences. The desire to broaden your horizons is amplified by the Sun’s opposition to Sagittarius’ expansive ruling planet Jupiter on Friday night. Even the most cautious individuals may be ripe for risk-taking in this bold but perhaps dangerous environment. Pushing the limits of what you’re willing to feel or do can certainly open social doors, but a lack of discrimination and common sense could allow people in who you won’t want to see the next day. It’s wise to reach a little further in search of love but to avoid losing balance by losing your head.

Sunday’s story is very different with the Moon in orderly and responsible Capricorn. But even this disciplined sign may find you in a less than sober mood, since the Moon forms a stressful square with explosive Uranus early in the day and joins transformative Pluto in the evening. The former spurs spontaneous reactions that can rattle relationships. The needs for freedom and freshness are powerful enough to stretch the strongest bonds, but exacting Pluto can punish excessive or inappropriate behavior, making self-restraint a must.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for Sept. 30 – Oct. 2

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

No Holding Back

September 30 – 2

Friday starts out with the Moon in steamy Scorpio, which is great for subtle seduction — indirectness and hints of interest can be especially enticing now. The evening ends with a lunar transit into high-spirited Sagittarius where there’s little room for secrets or subtlety. There’s no holding back in this enthusiastic sign, which is wonderful for being open and honest, but a tad insensitive in its delivery. Exuberant Sagittarius is restless and seeks new experiences, so exploring unfamiliar places, engaging in outdoor activities or examining intellectual pursuits is especially exciting. There’s little interest in sentiment as ruminating over the past can seem outdated and irrelevant.

Pushing the envelope by taking physical, mental and emotional risks is where the fun is this weekend. There’s a playful kind of competitiveness that’s not so much about beating the other person, but more about pushing both of you as far as you can go. Be careful with humor, though, because in the midst of hilarity it’s possible to say something that you might regret. The easygoing attitude of Sagittarius can give rise to careless remarks and reckless behavior. And the unbridled optimism of this sign may tempt you to make promises you won’t keep or raise your expectations too high. Joyfully enjoying the present moment without looking longingly backward or thinking too far ahead sounds just about right.

The Element of Fire – Symbols and Associations

The Element of Fire

Symbols and Associations
 
 
Fire has the qualities of heat and dryness and associations with blood, deliberate movement and passion. In astrology, Fire rules the Zodiac signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. People born under the Fire signs are charming, active, fund, mischievous and easily excitable, and they change emotional states rapidly. They love change, bright colors, and stimulating environments. Fire signs are the leaders and the cheerleaders of the Zodiac. They provide us with much needed inspiration, motivation, and creative energy. Their attention spans are short, but they generally accomplish twice as much as everyone else in half the time. They sometimes shortcut directions because they’re impatient, which can cause problems for their fellow co-workers. They tend to make snap decisions based on gut-level intuitions.
 
Fire people are extremely passionate, jealous and forceful. They live life to the fullest and have powerful emotions. Everything about them is intense, and if nothing is happening, they will create something, even if it means trouble. They will do almost anything to avoid boredom. Their minds are always active. They are generally quick to anger and quick too forget about it. They also tend to get readily involved but lack the staying power of the other Elements. They are full of zest, are usually brilliant, and live for the moment.
 
Fire leaps upward and can help carry spells into the clouds and beyond. After all, the Sun and the stars are fire in the sky. The Sun is a God symbol in many pagan religions. Fire ideas can often be very distant and innovative from the ideas of this Earth. Although fire consumes, it also creates new life. Forest fires remove the old and nourish the new. Some plants even wait for the fire to release their seeds. Of all the Elements, Fire captures our attention the most. Fire lives on and above the Earth, so it connects us closely to the God force. Fire is consuming and captivating it creates the new and removes the old.

The Sun in Cancer
While the Sun is in Cancer family and home are the primary influences. Affection between family members is likely to increase. Familial bonds are likely to strengthen. Now is an ideal time to make improvements that make home life more comfortable and safe for all. Feelings of concern and compassion for the plight of others beyond the family should be quite strong at this time. Many may use this time to retreat and revitalize physical and spiritual energies.

 
Moon In Sagittarius
The inner warmth of many will burst to the surface and spread across those close to them. Optimism is likely to be very strong during this period. Life’s challenges will be accepted with enthusiasm.

Moon Sextile or Trine Uranus
The need for personal freedom is likely to be high. Maintaining an upbeat attitude and sense of humor are essential to success.

Moon Opposition or Square Neptune

New Moon Report for June 15th – Full Moon in Sagittarius

Full Moon in Sagittarius

Wednesday, June 15, 1:14 pm PDT, 4:14 pm EDT

This lunation occurs in optimist but judgmental Sagittarius where the need for absolute answers can lead to philosophical fundamentalism. It is a Total Eclipse of the Moon, signaling the need to let go of past beliefs and prejudices. Emptying ourselves of old truths can feel like stepping into the void of ignorance, but what we gain by opening our minds to let outmoded concepts fall away invites in a greater range of awareness. Being wrong might feel embarrassing yet is often the first step to acquiring more knowledge.
