I'm coming the finish line....Oh snap...bout to enter another race!!!

Welcome to the culmination of what has been an amazing surge of energy, power, and lessons learned. And what better closer of this cycle than the ever instructive sign of Capricorn, ruled by that surreal Saturn, the teacher of all teachers. The waning moon phase can be marked by many perspectives, but I choose to look at the waning moon as the last gift the universe is granting us. Didn’t get it the first three segments, well here....take this...and be pleasantly surprised, mystified, and overjoyed. Closings of cycles are the best time to show gratitude, because guess what, I made it, you made it, we all made it. And...guess what else....we are beginning the journey again. Aren’t we just the most charged individuals on the planet, at this moment?

So...as Mother Moon contracts, think if this as the laboring period of this cycle and what lays ahead is the birth of a new us. Laboring in a Capricorn state allows some extra gifts, like a time to work on righting things in our lives through karma, cleansing, and perhaps breaking negative chains, but this sign is motivated by the great planet Saturn, who is a world all unto its self. Go on ahead with our bad selves. We are doing it because of the challenges, obstacles, and difficulties we have. Be okay with not getting it right, but rather getting it.

My focus this final phase will be to break old habits. Gone is the young girl unsure of what she knows. Here to say in the Goddess Woman-type who is bent on being exactly who she is to be in this lifetime, which means I can not, will not, and should not hold onto things that are of no use to me. Will I succeed at this? Yes! Will there be deviations of the path that I think now? Yes, most certainly! Am I infectious enough to spread this around? I sure believe so!!!

Below are a few of the areas to think about that Capricorn can truly exalt for you during this waning phase of the moon.

Work in Capricorn

Cleanse/Banish

Negative Habit Breaking

Karmic Magic

Binding/Limiting

A Bull, A retrograde, and the potential for many things...

As we pass on to another point in this ever gifting Taurus Lunar journey, we make a stop at a Full Moon. A Full Moon is a peak time to work power, and not power in an external sense, but power internally, a place we shy away from for various reasons. Full Moons can be seen as Ripeness. During Full Moons there is increase in all sorts of energies and things occurring. We have often heard folklore tell of the “wildness” of Full Moons, well I propose it is the climaxing of the cycle, so get ready....

This full moon has the pleasure of falling at the beginning of the retrograde for mercury, the first in this lunar year. All forms of communication are going to be off kilter. To say the least! Snail mail, email, cell fone, home fone, speaking to others, speaking to yourself, and don't even think of signing a contract or wonder why negotiations are not going well. W can not put life off during the retrogrades, but forewarning will help ya navigate through it.

This Full Moon is ruled by Scorpio, a sign that can present itself in very diverse ways. There may be an urge to go to a place of passion, whether that be anger, love, lust or confusion. Another urge could be subtlety, maybe we need to be more sedate and behind the scenes. Or even still, we may want to really consider severance work. Who or what is in our life that we need a clean break from, hell, it might be a part of yourself you have no more need for. Pluto, Scorpio’s ruling planet, is one of Transmutation, Transformation and Reconstruction. So get ready for energy to move you in one direction or another. And please, do not think you can sit this one out. If you do not actively move in a direction you choose, believe me, you will be moved and maybe to a place you weren’t quite ready to visit.


A few things that might glean themselves when approached during the full moon are the following:

Love, Attraction, Passion

Abundance and Prosperity

Blessing of Space

Courage of Heart

Inner Awakenings



Flower/Herb Essences for Scorpio Full Moon

Frankincense (Protection)

Myrrh (Transformation)

Sandalwood (Spirituality)

Roaring into the light!

This Waxing phase is marked by the sign Leo, which is the satiated servant of the Sun. This roaring Leo time of recognition, glory, and performance also has another side, control and defense. In this building portion of this entire Taurus Lunar cycle, use this Sun and all his powerful gifts he offers to continue towards your intended goal.

The Sun is a sheer representation of light and truth. Request either or both for yourself and your world. Knowing, that light and truth is not always going to be equal to our expectation. The beauty of the Sun is that he shows things as they are, not as we think or want them to be. I would say brace yourself, however those of us thus far on the journey already know that blessings come in all shapes and sizes. Lastly, this waxing time is a time of short term objectives, do not begin to rearrange the whole show, just illuminate and tweek what is necessary.

Try some of these domains for your SUN work in this bubbling phase of waxing

Work in the Sun

Discard doubt, sickness, or negativity

Healing

Attraction, Renewal, Success

Belly (Second) Chakra Energy

For this portion of the cycle I am focused on my patience with knowing my clear understanding of purification and its role in my life. I not only want to purify, but really how do I use this process to bring me to another level of understanding and action. Because you know knowledge without movement is what?? Useless...

Taking the Bull by her Horns....

This entering Lunar Cycle is setting its self up to be just about as powerful as they come. Let me set out the players and show you the endless possibilities. This Taurean (Taurus, the Bull) Lunar Cycle is of course ruled by the always love filled planet Venus, but to add to that let us remember that this Chinese Astro Year is the Year of the Bull (my year, YAH!!!), which is also twice as potent during this cycle. This year of the Bull is marked by leadership, strong ability to get things done, protection, reliability and never losing sight of a goal and the ability to be introspective even in crowds. So pay attention to all of those things, even if that isn’t you or at least you right now. The appearance of any of those or other Bull like qualities are all right on time.

Now, you are armed with those things and then we have VENUS. She is a loving, gracious giver who is really all about love. Love of self, love of others, love of nature, love of the entirety of who we are. Be open to fostering a love you have forgot. Love something or someone you thought you never would. Love that part of your self that makes you cringe when you think of it. And we are in that new moon portion of this cycle so be attentive to the beginnings of things. Allow yourself to create what your loving reality will be for this cycle, keeping in mind the tides of Taurus that will be twice as nice. Bull energy is here, you might as well benefit from it rather than be trampled by it.

For me, I am elated, because although this is my year, this is also my month, TO SHINE!!!! I am grounding myself in the love that I am, the love that I have, and the love that I am totally worthy of. With this extra dash of Bull this cycle I will not lose sight of this goal, something I gladly accept as a gift from the Chinese Zodiac reality. Hold me to this, because now that I have put this out there, yall know its gonna come right, left and center and challenge me, I am up to it because I have all of you.

Below are all the possibilities for this Taurus Lunar Cycle

Bull Energy

Born leader and possessing an innate ability to achieve great things

Never lose sight of their goal

Become introverted in a crowd

Protective and always reliable

My closing everything!!!!

Ahhhh!!! As we are bringing our first spring lunar cycle to a close, I propose we begin to look at the waning portion of a lunar phase as great saged time. We have put out our intentions, we have seen its growth, now, we must ruminate on what has been hidden. Alright light-bringers, we have to bring it. And mostly to ourselves. As we enter the last phase of the Waning in this Aries Lunar Cycle, let us be thankful and open to all the wisdom we have collected over the past few weeks or millennia, whichever you prefer to tap.

This Waning Phase is in Pisces which is ruled by none other than Neptune, that vast, watery knowledge of all things. I say to us all, seek out that which is hidden. Ask ourselves why we have choosen to hide or avoid certain truths about ourselves, others and the universe. See that which is always there.

Personally for me this waning time is marked with quietness, introspective journeying, and listening. There are many lessons for me in this time of the cycle. I look forward to the epiphanies big and small, learned and re-learned, and obvious and unexpected. I say to all, be the seer of things unseen.

Below are domains ruled by Neptune.

Work in Neptune

Inner Psyche Development

Altered states

Deep Waters



Herbs/Flowers in Neptune

Dandelion Leaves (Psychic Powers)

Lemon Peel (Clarity)

Rosemary (Uplifting)

Stillness brings gifts

Abundance aspiring to be reality

This beautiful spring morning has been gifted to me as I sit mere meters from the lake that drenched and cleansed the city of New Orleans. Even now as I type I have tears in my eyes, mainly because I can feel the fullness of the moon and the blessings she has in store for me. The work is well worth it. It is all I can say, in brief form. This full moon is full of Love (which may explain the welling tears that almost just fell), since Libra (the sign of this full moon) is vivaciously ruled by Venus the Queen of Love, Beauty and Pleasure. So take this time to be open to all things that bring you pleasure. Venus is such a portal for us to re-connect with that wonderfully beautiful portion of our soul that is always there, no matter how much she may be shaded by our day to day existences.

Personally, I am looking to expand my capacity for abundance and the prosperity that follows it. I do possess the medicine to accept abundance, but when things begin to look bleak, I flinch, I will admit it. So now, I challenge myself to be steadfast, rooted, and an internal holder of the abundance that the universe has for me. I know I have the means to achieve this, I must put it out there and watch success unfold.

Full Moons are time that represent a mid point in the cycle. It is your time to take time to reflect on what has occurred and what will be the next moves you make. Below are some full moon domains, but as always explore where you are, what you want and what it will take, as a focus, to achieve that goal.

Love, Attraction, Passion

Abundance and Prosperity

Blessing of Space

Courage of Heart

Bounce in my walk and SPRING in my STEP!!!

This initial lunar cycle of spring is such a gift to us all. With her she brings, fire magic, courage to build our dreams, and that base chakra passion energy. But most of all, she has brought me insight. That's right, insight. For it is just now that I have wrapped my pretty little mind around spring, the lunar year and why I am eternally in love with this season. You see, spring is the Waxing Phase of the year. So, yes, many of us have trudged out of winter feeling a little groggy and sluggish, but our universal mother has a gift for us, SPRING!!!! And this here spring, comes with a rush of power.

This power is fostered by none other than Mars as it is the puppeteer behind the sign Aries. This cycle is a time to truly know your power and feel comfortable enough to wield it, mostly on yourself. Think self-direction, think creation (sometimes manifesting as sexual) energy, and of course think warrior. But warrior as never before. Be the protection and service that you seek. Push through all of the muck and dare to dream the most fantastic dream. Then, sit back and calmly watch it unfold. This time, the Aries Lunar Cycle is ours for the taking. All we have to do is want it. Truly want it and know you are worth it.

Below are a few areas that you may want to explore during this Aries Lunar Cycle.

Passion to Achieve Goals

Power to Build Dreams

Breaking Barriers


Flower/Essences for the Aries Lunar Cycle

Patchouli (Passion)

Rose (Transformation)

Tamarind (Love)
