FULL MOON Penumbral Eclipse in AQUARIUS

Artist - Josephine Wall

FREEDOM – FREEDOM – FREEDOM !

We have a Full Moon in Aquarius:

UK       –          18 August 10.27am

EU        -          18 August 11.27am

USA     -           18 August 05.27am

AUS     -           18 August 19.27pm

NZ       -           18 August 21.27pm

AQUARIUS - I Know / I belong

Aquarius represents truth, science, altruism, hope, ideals, inspiration, new ideas, associations, friendships/community, inventions, eccentricity, electronic media, computing, Astrology, anything unusual, New Age interests and Humanitarian pursuits.  The sign of the Visionary and Seer, Aquarius sees the bigger picture and takes action.  Freedom is important to Aquarius.  Aquarius rules the ankles, lower legs, circulatory system, veins, arteries (esp. hardening of), spasms and cramps.

CURRENT ENERGIES

The intensity has lessened and most of us are making the most of the good weather days here.  We are in the last moon of Summer; so get out when you can and make the most of it.

Earth Sensitives will know that there has been an increase in earthquakes etc recently and this will continue.  Let’s include Mother Earth in our daily prayers and send Light to Her as She deals with all that is happening upon Her.  (Some Earth Sensitives hear high-pitched frequencies, some get itches/pains in the same part of the body). 

We have an Essence that is very popular with Earth Sensitives, it’s called

‘Planetary Heart’ and helps Earth Sensitives to cope with what they sense and feel.  You can find it here:

Most folks are having the sense to withdraw from the political circuses that are going on and are focusing on more positive aspects like watching the Olympics.  The athletes don’t allow themselves to be distracted by anything, they are focused on their goal and they get there.  A great lesson for all of us.

Dreamtime has been interesting for many in the build-up to this Full Moon. Don’t forget to make a note of your dreams, as many will receive the answers/clarification they have been looking for.

Elly Rant – The Great Sugar Con

Currently in the UK there is a huge campaign by the Government to ban sugar.  In fact they want to capitalise on what they call the Sugar Tax and use that money elsewhere.  They want to increase the price of items containing sugar so that they can make money from it.  This is supposed to be for our benefit and for the benefit of our health. 

The Spin on this campaign is to reduce obesity especially in children.  OK.  So if you are gonna take the sugar out of everything what are you going to sweeten it with?  Artificial sweeteners of course!  And we all know how good those are for you – NOT!  (Google the effects artificial sweeteners have).  Don’t fall for this con.  Sugar free is not necessarily healthier.  As a professional I have seen the effects that artificial sweeteners have on clients, I once was part of a team that ran a regular ME clinic.  Once I got the clients off anything with artificial sweeteners, their health improved and they lost weight.  In my own family, my lovely step-dad thought he was being healthier by using artificial sweetener instead of sugar in his coffee, and then he had several blackouts.  Once he stopped using it he never had black outs again.

Don’t get sucked into this con.  Do your own research.  Then make your own choices regarding this.

BTW – alternative natural sweeteners like honey, xylitol, stevia and maple syrup, whilst they may be more ‘natural’ they are still high in natural sugar, therefore less is more.

The only answer to this is to stop buying stuff laden with sugar and/or artificial sweeteners.  Eat more natural foods and eat anything that is naturally sweet (like those mentioned above, as well as fresh fruit and dried fruit) in moderation.

Obesity in children can be reduced if parents cook fresh food, eat less crap, and get their kids outside running about and exercising in the fresh air. 

In the end, the answer to the obesity crisis is - common sense. 

ASTROLOGY

SATURN

Saturn has left intense Scorpio and moved in Sagittarius.  Whilst in Scorpio, the Task Master of the Cosmos required us to go deep into ourselves and our lives.  The past couple of years therefore, may have been intense especially emotionally and included many tears for some.  Now we can breathe out as a new chapter with the Teacher of the Cosmos begins. 

In Sagittarius Saturn will help us to get things settled and sorted.  What is not true or absolute truth will be revealed under this two-year transit, so the flakes and fakes will be flushed out and revealed for who they really are. 

Signs most affected by Saturn in Sag are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.  Any decisions you have been dithering about will now need to be made and the changes they bring accepted and implemented.  The good thing is, Saturn always rewards those who learn the lessons and put the effort in.  So face your fears and do it!

MERCURY

Mercury retrograde starts August 30^th; however don’t forget that the effects can be felt at least two weeks before.  Get the car serviced, back up the computer, fix what’s broken, complete outstanding jobs.  Mercury slows things down giving us a change to catch up.  And yes, there will be the usual travel and communication glitches, so think before you speak and/or hit Send!

FULL MOON Penumbral Eclipse in AQUARIUS

A penumbral eclipse is not a full Lunar Eclipse nor is it a partial eclipse; it is more subtle and hard to see.  Which means that the effects will also be subtle although they can be the start of unexpected changes also.  This gentle eclipse is preparing us for the Eclipses in September so take heed.

This Full Moon in Aquarius is all about Freedom.  It reminds us that the only limitations we have are the ones we think we have or the ones we think others impose upon us.  Rubbish.  We can change our minds in an instant and cut any chains we feel have been imposed upon us.  With all that is going on in the world and to people we know, life is so effing short that we absolutely have to start living it the way we want to. 

Full Moon in Aquarius means it’s time to liberate yourself and others.

Think about that wonderful song ‘Aquarius’ from the musical HAIR, all those gorgeous hippies singing about love and peace, dressing the way they want to, doing what they want, doing it from their hearts and with the right intention.  There is a huge movement for Peace again, it’s almost as if the 60s are being revisited.  Folks have had enough of what is going on financially and politically and are not afraid to let the authorities know. 

They are also walking their talk by living in a peaceful way in harmony with the Earth and each other.  And this is possible for all of us.  Yes, there will always be the shadow side and I haven’t forgotten that we are living the tipping point of this time on Earth.  However, I am aware of a big movement towards people choosing to focus on what they want and the type of world they want, and that should inspire all of us.

Questions to ask yourself:

- What restrictions are there in my life?

- Where do I feel restricted?

- Who do I feel restricts me?

- What/who stops me feeling free?

- What can I do to become free?

ACTIONS TO TAKE

By the light of the Full Moon, write detailed answers to the above questions.  Formulate a step-by-step plan that will lead you to freedom. Date it and sign it.

Allow the Full Moon rays and Aquarius’ cosmic waters to cleanse you.  If it is a clear night, go outside and Moon Bathe.  Grandmother Moon’s rays will cleanse your Aura and recharge you.  (You may feel a tingle in your Third Eye as you look up at Her and attune to this).

Fill your home with flowers; wear flowers in your hair and link into the hippy side of Aquarius.  Get your hippy gear on, put some good ol’ hippy tunes on and dance in this new chapter of your life.  Why not invite some friends around and have fun invoking Freedom together? 

And why not use our gorgeous SUMMER SOLSTICE Spray Mist to keep the summery, flowery vibe going? You can find it here:

Lammas/Lughnasadh NEW MOON Blessings! August 2016

NEW MOON in LEO

CONFIDENCE – CREATIVITY – ROARING!

We have a New Moon in Leo:

UK       –          2 August 21.45pm

EU       -           2 August 10.45pm

USA     -           2 August 16.45pm

AUS     -           3 August 06.45am

NZ        -           3 August 08:45am

LEO – ‘I WILL / I Love’

      Artist: Josephine Wall

LEO - Fire sign. The Lover and charmer of the zodiac - could charm the birds off the trees (and male Leos are very good at charming women).  They excel in the Arts especially acting and performing as they are not shy of the spotlight, in fact they love being the centre of attention and having an adoring audience.  Leos are wonderful to have as a friend, fun and sociable and very loving. Good at working with children and young people as they understand them. Leos seek fame, and their arrogance can take them a long way, but it can also trip them up at times. They can also be lazy, wanting everyone else to wait on them. They are strong willed and very good at manipulating people in such a subtle way that folks don’t even realise how their strings have been pulled! They express themselves boldly in the world and are fearless when they are aiming for what they want. They always brighten a place up with their cheerful energy and are great to have around.

Leo represents pride, expression, romance, nobility, leadership, gambling/speculation, games, entertainment/the Arts, education, youth, drama, working with children, fame.

CURRENT ENERGIES

August may still present the odd curveball but good things are starting to emerge from what has been a trying year for many. 

Be careful what you say and what information you pass on this coming month, (is it accurate? Is it the truth?) as some folks imaginations may be going overboard in August.  Stick to the facts folks!

Also don’t allow what you see and hear to damage your psyche or your emotions.  With all that is going on in the world at the moment, there is so much misinformation and manipulation going on out there, which is deliberate, in order to undermine humanity.  As Lightworkers we cannot allow ourselves to get sucked into that kind of energy.  Our job is to keep our vibration raised and raise the vibration wherever we go and wherever we are.  So if you feel yourself being pulled down, walk away – switch off – whatever and regroup yourself. 

Words could be triggers during August, so be mindful of this.  Stay fully present to your Higher Self in a truly grounded way. Surround yourself with beauty, and be with those who uplift and inspire you.  Seek those of like-mind and together channel light to where it is needed.  Remember that you are Spiritual royalty, so keep your head and keep it high, and keep on keeping on.

Protect your Solar Plexus this month.  We are approaching the annual Lions Gate, which always ushers in powerful energies.  If the sun is out, go outside (or you can do this with the sun shining through a window/door) and stand so that the Sun is warming your Solar Plexus.  Imagine this golden light cleansing your Solar Plexus shield and charging it up.  Now breathe in and pull that strong, golden energy right through your Solar Plexus chakra from front to back so the energy goes right through you energetically.  (Many people forgot to pay attention to the back of their chakras).  You will feel strong and energized and ready for anything.  Do this as often as you need to. (Our ‘Protector’ spray mist provides a fantastic chakra shield that will last all day.  You can find it here:

ASTROLOGY

At the beginning of August we celebrate Lammas/Lugnasadh, bringing a time of letting go, “the death of the old” to make way for the new. 

And we are approaching Eclipse season again with the Full Moon this month (more on that at the time).  This really will bring the endings that are needed.  Eclipses do shake things up a bit where they need shaking.  But they are not to be feared.  Whatever ends or gets shaken will be worth it.  There are always rewards with eclipses, although at the time it may not feel like it.

Many years ago I got a few shake ups during an eclipse season, I suddenly found out the house I was renting was going to be sold and I was going to be homeless again and a whole host of other crappy stuff was going on.  So when my husband walked into my life, I didn’t want to know, I had so much cr*p going on that I just wanted to sort it all out.  I told the Universe that this was not the time to start a new relationship.  The Universe said “but this is what you need right now”. And it was right.  We have been together ever since.  So ride the rough days and trust that there will be something much better for you at the end of it.  Sometimes the old has to die in order to make way for the new.  Sometimes we have to be shaken out of our complacency to make the changes that are needed.  Sometimes it can be subtle changes, like a lightbulb going on and changing the way we think about things.  Eclipses enable us to take positive action. Eclipses help us to rebirth our lives. Be open to it all.

To support you during Eclipses, why not try our NEW ‘Eclipse Support’ essence?  It contains magickal essences captured during Total Eclipses over the years.  Powerful yet supportive, this Essence helps you to stay grounded and centred as you deal with what is going on.  It keeps you connected to the Light despite any darkness going on around you.  This lovely, gentle Essence has a beautifully high vibration that will keep your own vibration raised so that you can remain positive. It also helps you to integrate your experience so that you can move forward in a balanced way.  

A useful tool to have for each Eclipse season. (Detailed information supplied with each Essence).  You can find it here;

NEW MOON in LEO

The New Moon in uplifting Leo gives us the confidence boost we need. It encourages our creativity and getting passionate about it.  Do what lights you up, and share it with the world.  There must be something that you do that you lose all track of time when doing it, because you are so totally immersed in it.  Do more of that.

Experiencing creative blocks? Then use our ‘Creativity’ Essence, it has been helping folks to shift blocks in their creativity and helping them to manifest it in the world for many years.  You can find it here: http://www.theapothecarygarden.org/ESSENCES.html

Any changes you make during this New Moon transit will be successful.  It is a time of progress for us all (at last!). It’s an ideal time to upgrade yourself on every level. 

- Upgrade your ‘phone and technology so that you can present your creativity to the world in a professional manner. 

- Find better ways of working/living day-to-day that are more efficient and less draining on your energy. 

- Seek mentors and guides (in this world and beyond) who are waiting to step in and help you, you just need to ask.

- Do you need to get more healthy?  Clear out what is old and unused and write down a new daily programme for yourself that you will stick to every day.  (I have started doing Donna Eden’s daily routine again at the start of each day and it makes me feel energized for the day.  You can see her video here;

https://www.youtube.com/watch=Di5Ua44iuXc&inf_contact_key=94478b196279a2afd98382c9e48e624cfe903b7c3452bda29950303580a74027   

Most of all be patient with yourself; lasting change doesn’t happen overnight it takes time.

And if cr*p happens, roar like a Lion!  No seriously, I mean it, sometimes if we just let out the way we are feeling with a huge roar we feel so much better, it’s incredibly empowering.  (This is something I taught on my Gorgeous Goddess trainings, sometimes it can be followed by tears as it is such a good release, other times it can be followed by giggles and laughter.  I still do it from time to time – go on have a go!).

Leo loves being the centre of attention and gives us the courage to push ourselves into the limelight and world stage.  He encourages us to ‘strut our stuff’ and let the world know how creative and inspirational we are.  This is not the time to be the shy, retiring wallflower, it’s time for you to be a big, bold sunflower!

This powerful New Moon is a great time to create a new vision board – go bigger and bolder.  It’s also a great time to write your New Moon Manifestation List in great detail (I’ve gone off the term ‘New Moon Wish List’ as wishing always gives me the impression that something is too far away, unobtainable, wishing rather than getting). 

- If you want a new job, write in detail the area, location, type of desk you want, type of colleagues, hours, pay etc. 

- If you want a new relationship do the same, be very specific about what you do and don’t want.

- If you want to move home be very detailed about everything, location, quality, services, neighbours, everything that you desire. 

And most importantly start your list off with the sentence:
“Thank you Universe and Grandmother Moon for ………..” and list your desires.

And a secret Leo tip is: give that which you most desire. 

Leo is a super confident sign, so believe that you CAN have what you want and it will be so.  This New Moon gives you a great confidence boost.
