FULL MOON in Sagittarius

BREATHING OUT – RELAXING – GETTING READY TO FLY

We have a Full Moon in Sagittarius:

UK       –          21 May 22.14pm

EU        -           21 May 11.14pm

USA     -           21 May 17.14pm

NZ       -           22 May 09.14am

SAGITTARIUS – I SEE / I Believe

Sag, our free-spirited travel loving sign.  Sag – love me, love my hobbies/interests.  Sagittarians are fun, loving, yet always keep a percentage of themselves back for themselves.  This passionate fire sign is great fun to have around. Dreamers and motivators, Sag gets things done and enjoys the whole process.  Sagittarians are enthusiastic and enthuse and inspire others.  Sag represents exuberance, foreign affairs, travel, the outdoors, prophecy, higher mind, religion, adventure, clubs, philosophy, other cultures, sport (most Sag’s love sport/using the physical body and honing it to excellence), higher education and training, teaching, Law, publishing and religion.  Intelligent conversationalists, inspiring teachers, fun parents and friends, Sag’s get us all off our butts and doing something.  Sag shows us where we all get stuck in a rut as we enviously watch them set off on another great adventure. 

CURRENT ENERGIES

Many folks are feeling weary after the past few weeks, which seemed like wading through treacle at times.  I’ve started having afternoon power naps again some days, just 20 minutes, and they recharge me perfectly for the rest of the day.  If you feel you are falling asleep over your computer, switch it off and stretch out on the bed for half an hour.  With all the current influxes of energy and life’s stresses, there are times when we need to copy our pets and allow nap time.

Rest as much as you can, things are starting to move forward again.  Eat healthily and drink plenty of water to flush out any stress toxins.  A grounding walk in Nature always helps too.

ASTROLOGY

Mercury is going stationary forward, things start to ease up and relax a bit more, flexibility will go a long way over the next couple of weeks as Mercury slowly returns to His usual place in the sky and communication matters start to flow once more.

There is a Grand Trine that will help to move things along and ease them through.  However, because the past couple of weeks were tough you may have been over-analyzing or worrying about things, especially when glitches and curve balls appeared. Now you need to breathe out, drop the habit of worrying and trust that things can and will work out for you.  And do this straight away, as once Mercury goes direct things could really start taking off and you need to be ready.

FULL MOON in SAGITTARIUS

This Full Moon in Sag conjuncts with fiery Mars, so this could be an intense Full Moon transit and one where you need to watch your temper. 

And watch your back, this conjunction plus this tricky Year of the Monkey, means that we need to ensure we don’t get complacent and drop our guard. 

During this Full Moon transit be alert and aware, as something could be revealed that you weren’t expecting.  Something could happen that could throw you if you aren’t prepared and ready for it.  Sagittarius is the sign of the Warrior, and we need to get our Warrior/ess on during this transit.

Mars could also give us a kick up the butt to get things moving and gives us the courage to do so which is perfect with things moving forward now.  It’s a good time for groups and working with others particularly in a united cause or business. 

This is the first of two Full Moons in Sagittarius (the next one is June 20^th); therefore we need to pay heed to what Sag has to teach us.

For a start, something may happen that will make us feel uncomfortable, challenged and out of our comfort zone.  How hard that is depends on how alert and aware we are to what is going on around us. 

Those who have been suffering in silence now have the courage to speak their truth, this will be challenging for the others in your life who may feel a bit broadsided, but you can be silent no more.  It’s okay to ask for what you want, in fact you absolutely must! However think before you speak and do, as one astrologer suggested “make your truth beautiful.”

This is not a time to make ‘hasty decisions’, whilst the energies may make you feel feisty and fighty, don’t cut off your nose to spite your face or burn bridges, as you may regret this in a week’s time. And when in doubt hand it over to the greater power, the Universe, to sort out.  “Universe I am handing this mess over to you, please sort this out for the highest good of all concerned.”  That way you don’t get all tangled up in it and can keep yourself clear and alert.

This Full Moon reminds us that our thoughts do indeed create our reality.  Things are starting to move; the green light is about to go on – are you ready?  Yes, the first part of the year has been tough for some, but start changing your thinking and start attracting what you really want.  Think positively – dream big – take bold actions – and smile! :-)

As ever, balance is the key.  The more grounded and balanced you feel the stronger your foundation for making decisions.  And the more space you create for clarity and creativity to flow through you. 

Those who have been feeling held back for too long are now itching to get going.  Be patient, we are at the starting blocks but the whistle hasn’t gone yet.  Check a few things before you head off –

- Am I fit enough for this?

- Do I know what I want to do?

- Do I know where I want to be?

- Do I know what I need to do to get there?

Another thing that can help is our very special ARROW Essence

Taking flight - Into your Truth - Manifestation

This Essence is one of a series of special Essences made during the Harmonic Concordance.

After being held back for so long, now the time has come to rejoice

Time and time again you have been pulled back, having to revisit the dark cavern of the lower self to truly learn to be a Shadow Dancer.  Now, you have fully learnt the lessons of the first stage, you have faced and conquered your fears, you have made changes, you are no longer afraid of your shadow. 

By breaking the chains and freeing yourself, the power of Arrow now pulls you into the future you have been preparing for.  You are taking flight now, where you will end up no-one knows and the great thing is, you’re not worried about it, in fact you are excited!  This is the essence of flight, you feel as if you have wings everywhere, attached to your heels, your head, everywhere.  This is the essence of manifestation; all that you have worked for is within your grasp now.  You have the power to decide where you want your arrow to go, if you have a target in sight, go for it!

This is the Arrow of Truth – your truth.  Now you must live and be the highest you can be, the highest truth, your truth, your True Self.  Be excited; be very excited, the only way is up.  You are free now, from all that was binding you, so let yourself go, trust, and know that you now have the power to manifest your dreams in truth.

There is a high, very fine frequency with this essence, it is very pure.  You have a direct link from your third eye to the cosmos.  You have learnt to listen to the guidance of the spirit within and you will follow this guidance for eternity, like a powerful beam of pure white light going straight up from your third eye, through the top of your head into the cosmos.  Because you now have a strong foundation, and are grounded, this connection happens very quickly, the beam although narrow in width, is very strong and powerful.

[Several years ago I was gifted with a handmade Native American Indian arrow, which played an important part in the creation of this Essence].

This Essence is suitable for those who have come through their Dark Night of the Soul, who have done a lot of in-depth clearing and are ready to take flight.

This set of Essences is also useful to Shamanic Practitioners to support their work with initiates.

[Important Note: This series of Essences represents a triple phase initiation - the other two Essences are: “Shadow Catcher” and “The Gateway”.

Discount available when buying the set of 3.  (If you would like further information about them, please contact us).

QUOTE

Put all that you are

Into the least you do.

Be like the full moon,

living aloft

and shining everywhere.

~Fernando Pessoa

Remaining fully present to yourself and all that is going on in your life is what will help you to succeed.  (Even if you don’t like what you are seeing or hearing, stay with it and stay strong like the Warrior/ess that you are).  Spiritual folks find it all too easy to slip out of body when facing confrontation or situations they don’t like.  Don’t do that.  Get back down here and get on with it, or you will never progress the way you want to.  

(Our GROUND CONTROL Spray Mist is fantastic for that, you can find it here: http://www.theapothecarygarden.org/SPRAY-MISTS.html) 
OUTSIDE UK? Please contact us for shipping costs

Never forget how powerful you are.  You are stronger than you realise.  Now step into the Warrior/ess that you are!

Full Moon Blessings to y’all!

NEW MOON Blessings! May 2016

NEW MOON in TAURUS

ABUNDANCE – REBIRTH – NEW OPPORTUNITIES

We have a New Moon in Taurus:

UK       –          6 May 20.29pm

EU       -           6 May 21.29pm

USA     -           6 May 15.29pm

AUS     -           7 May 05.29am

NZ        -           7 May 07.29am

TAURUS – I Have / I Manifest

Taurus is the master manifestor of the zodiac, they have the ability to get whatever they want and we can learn from their example.

Hardworking, loving, funny, with an earthy sense of humour, they make great parents and wonderful friends.  They are stable, solid and make everyone feel secure. They are sensual, intelligent and usually good at whatever they turn their hand to.  They are renowned gardeners, cooks, crafters, artists, musicians, architects etc.  They live life to the full.

Lovely, down to earth Taureans enjoy indulging their senses, they love good food (and wine!), they love good quality and expect it (they love Egyptian cotton sheets, silk, leather, anything that is well made and good quality).  They expect good service.

The only thing they need to watch out for is that they get bored very quickly and want to cut and run and try something new/go somewhere new. However, this can cause them a lot of problems. They need to be patient with themselves and not cut and run, but to wait and see how things develop further down the line. That’s Taurean bullishness at its worst; stubborn as heck but eventually they get it.

Check which house Taurus is in on your Natal chart, as this is the house most impacted by this Full Moon – and where you are given the opportunity to start anew.

CURRENT ENERGIES

May’s energies are far gentler than April’s were.  Although the challenges and obstacles haven’t gone away, we feel better able to deal with them this month.

If the weather is good, get out in Nature as much as you can, get some Sun energy and feed your body with natural Vit D from the Sun and recharge your pineal and pituitary glands with the increasing light.

ASTROLOGY

Mars (planet of action) and Mercury (planet of communication) are still retrograde.  This is not the time to push forward but to rest, review, recharge and reset ourselves ready for when we get the green light mid June, to move forward.  This is the time to prepare yourself as things could really take off in June for you. 

Jupiter (planet of blessings and good fortune) and Pluto (planet of rebirth and transformation) are in trine with Venus (planet of love and abundance & Taurus’ ruling sign) making this an auspicious new Moon.

By taking the time to rest, plan and re-strategize, we will reap the benefits of being patient a few months down the line. 

Be open to new inspirations that come through, pay attention to your dreams and write them down (you will be given new ideas), pay attention to words that jump out from billboards or songs on the radio, pay attention to the animals that cross your path when out walking etc.  By taking the time to notice these things you will receive the messages, hints and prompts you need. 

- What are you ready to share with the world? 

- Is there a book that’s ready to be born now?

- Is it time for you to step out as a teacher now?

- Are you itching to learn something new? 

All of these activities are well supported now – so get on with it!  (And don’t worry about minor glitches or delays, once we get into June things will start flowing more easily).

NEW MOON in TAURUS

This fertile New Moon is probably the best one of the year and especially for all Taureans.  A great time to write your New Moon Wish List – Taureans you can write one for the type of year ahead that you would like for yourself.

Taurus is a sensual, earthy sign, take time out to indulge yourselves with good food, massages, fun and earthy sex, laugh a lot and love a lot.  Love yourself most of all.

This Taurus New Moon invites us to take an honest look at our finances and take time to put new plans and strategies in place.  On the plus side, new opportunities are on the way.  Taurus gives us the key to move forward financially now, to unlock what has been holding us back, to lift our heads up so that we can see the way ahead more clearly now. There will be opportunities in the market place for your talents and what you offer, folks are more receptive now to what they need, money is moving again.  Be ready. 

Deep down you already know the action you need to take (if you don’t pay attention as mentioned above).  This is not the time to be lazy or procrastinate.  As Chani Nicolas says “This New Moon wants to initiate us into the secrets of our success.”  Heck, I am SO ready for that!  Think positively, believe it will happen and it will be so.  Stay as positive as you can and you will raise your attractor factor. 

Don’t forget to check out what Chani has to say about your sign for this Taurus New Moon.  Visit www.ChaniNicolas.com.

May’s easier energies are restoring our self-esteem and self-confidence, so be ready to capitalise on that when opportunity presents. However don’t forget to double and triple check any agreements or contracts you may be entering into whilst Mercury is still retrograde. 

Tap into Taurus’ abundance energy.  Be kind and generous – remember we are all in this together.  Be giving especially to yourself, stop denying yourself, stop putting yourself last, put yourself first and enjoy it! 

AFFIRMATIONS

I am an abundant Being

I am open to receiving

I am blessed with abundance

I believe in myself and my abilities

I now put myself first

I live well and happily

I am patient for my success

I am excited about my success

I believe it will happen

I am making it happen

I trust myself

I trust the Universe

I am a master Manifestor

I have a strong attractor factor!

I allow myself to have a beautiful life

I am beautiful and bountiful

 

Artist: Winona Cookie

Tap into the abundant Being that you are.  Believe that you deserve to be showered in abundance and to live abundantly.  Remember that the Universe is unlimited and so are you.  Silence that critic in your mind.  Expand yourself, be expansive in all you say and do.

EXPANSION Exercise

Find some quiet time where you cannot be disturbed.

Sit and prepare as if for meditation.

Ensure that you have a grounding stone in your hand/s.

After grounding, calling in protection and breathwork -

Visualize your aura stretching further and further out until it touches the sides of the room.  Now stretch it up to the ceiling and through the floor.

Now expand it to the entire building.

Now expand it to the whole area the building is in.

See/feel your aura expanding upwards high into the sky and deep into the earth below your feet.

Now see it expanding across the entire planet.

Sit and enjoy that feeling.

When you are ready, stretch a little bit further and expand yourself into the cosmos.

Enjoy the feeling for a short while.

Then slowly and carefully bring yourself back –

Back into the sphere of our planet

Back into the area where you are

Back into the room that you are in

And finally draw your aura closer around you.

Fold your chakras for protection.

Check that you are fully grounded.

Drink some water and continue with your day.

You have just proved to yourself how unlimited you are!

Now start noticing the abundance that is all around you and that you are already blessed with, what is already in your life and give thanks for it.  Be excited about it. When you feel abundant inside, your life reflects that outwardly.  Be confident about the future, it’s going to be good.  Clear clutter to make way for the new and good that is ready to come in for you.  Be open to growth in all areas of your life and especially in your personal development of yourself.

Go out in Nature, place your bare feet upon the ground and draw strength from the Earth. Open yourself to receiving the abundance that is truly yours.

Give that which you most need and it will come back to you multiplied.

QUOTE

There is nothing for you to go back and live over, or fix, or feel regret about now. Every part of your life has unfolded just right. And so —now — knowing all that you know from where you now stand, now what do you want? The answers are now coming forth to you. Go forth in joy, and get on with it.

---Abraham-Hicks

New Moon Blessings to y’all!
