Me, the season

lastquartermoongathering.blogspot.com   On February 2nd we have the opportunity to mark Imbolc - a festival of the hearth and home, and a celebration of the lengthening days and the early signs of spring.  Imbolc is the dawning of the Sun as a source of power and light that is desperately needed on the planet not just for warmth or growth. Fire and purification are an important aspect as well.  So candles and fires can be a part of any celebrations.  This particular Imbolc I suggest we hone our concept of hearth and home and make it an internal frame of reference. In essence the hearth and home we take care of is the one inside ourselves.  This Imbolc give energy and thought to YOU. Yes, just you! Although Imbolc is just February 2nd, I suggest we celebrate from Feb. 1st to Feb. 3rd, just to make sure we utilize the power that the single day has to offer. credit: selkywolf.com Now in terms of how to celebrate, you be the judge. It can be a meal, a ...

What it is In general a Full Moon is that time during the lunar cycle when you check in or it can also be that time when an apex of intention may be reached, whatever the case I want us all to take note of where we are at this very moment then we can proceed. Well, well Wolf This particular Full Moon falls in Leo and its ruling planet is the Sun. That great beacon of light and hope always finds a way to bring that ray right back to us. So be careful with what you wish for cause these days are super potent. And while we are on the subject of potency, take note that this Full Moon is often known as the Wolf Moon. That's right the Wolf Clan is bringing us lessons, cohesion and strategy ov...

Barriers may be blessings

credit: almanac.com Again it's new In this Capricorn new moon time let us take time to pause, listen, and hear all the things that are for us.  New moon time is a starting point to see yourself with clear vision, hear purpose and then set intentions that can be focused on for the entire lunar cycle (around 28.5 days). Work of a Goat Capricorn, a sign that is symbolized as the Goat, Mountain Goat, and even Sea Goat, opens the door for much work to be done.  In the time of Capricorn you can cleanse your body and surroundings or zero in your energy on your Karma and even work to set limits and keep them. That's right I said limits. These limitations talked about below are not the negative kind. Sublime Saturn This time of year that belongs to Capricorn is ultimately under the domain of Saturn. Yes Saturn, that planet known for it's legendary rings, always has an extra kick, just wait.  Saturn represents the quintessential teacher so learning will be jumping out a...

Hail, hail, calling all yellow candles

credit; alphanumberologytrends.com Four times the charm Today, already the planet Mercury is not flexing that retrograde muscle. Posted here are the dates for this first and the remaining three periods this year. Yup, I did say three more times.   Take in mind although the dates are posted on this page can fluctuate one day back or forward, think an extra week on each side just to be safe.  Forewarned is forearmed, although in a retrograde ducking and taking cover might not be a bad idea. And what is retrograde The planet mercury will go into a retrograde period four times this year and when this occurs the way the planet is supposed to move and what we see moving are different actions.  When this happens, all forms of communication are off kilter.  To say the least. snail mail, email, cell phone, home phone, speaking to others, speaking to yourself, and don't even think of signing a contract or wonder why negotiations are not going well...Listed bel...
