9/14/23 Welcome all my beautiful goddesses, Harvest of Joy that is possible through acts of self respect, self-care acknowledging all the good you have done for yourself – Mercury is direct so Virgo can feel free to speak openly making boundaries and priorities are articulated through all our habits. This moon allows us to start with a clean slate (new beginnings), opportunities to manifest whatever you desire. Self-improvement is on the menu. Reset intentions with greater focus. The moon in Virgo is one of the most powerful lunar opportunities to get all your ducks in a row. Start new routines that will last. Reset, recharge, ground so you move forward in a clearer/recharged way. Blessings,...

8/30/23 Welcome all you beautiful goddess. I want to bring some clarity on what a blue moon is before I begin so a blue moon happens when there are two full moons in one month. Here we are. Energetically speaking the last time this has happened around the Lion’s Gate was in 2009 and it will not happen again until 2033. WOW! What a heavy but monumental moon. This moon presents fullness, completion, and all hidden things that will come to the surface. Being it is a water sign moon makes it even more intense. Lingering energy from the past, major dream states, and reoccurring dreams are all spiritually connected. Understanding your sleep state is very prominent at this time so journaling your dreams will help decipher this energy. Very prone to avoidance, self-sabotage, psychological issues with a touch of universal love. The capacity of healing past life issues are on the fore front. Much quiet time alone will help to eradicate the past to become more creative. Issues such as guilt/shame, judgement/non-judgement, self-doubt of who you really are…. questioning, questioning, questioning. The lymphatic system is working overtime to move and clear anything that is stuck. The logic of the Virgo helps the Pisces by being prepared with organization. Manifestation Huge changes Creating balance out of chaos Make the abstract real Be in the energy of the here and now of the moon. All things that have been not clear will be revealed on this full moon. Prayers for release of what is holding you back personally. Do not stand in your own way. Great love and...

August 2023 Hi all my beautiful goddesses, I’d like to create a moment to talk about the LION’s GATE which the opening to the portal starting on the first of August. The gate opens fully on the 8th of August and stretches to the new moon in Leo on the 16th of August. This is a very tumultuous time in our universe. So many planets are moving and stationing into new planets much erratic energy is forming at this time to create a space to let go of all existing trauma/drama. Watch what you say, think before you talk and remember that everyone is dumping their pain and sorrow at this time. It is a perfect time to let go of all useless information. Relationships that no longer serve your highest good. FEAR/ANXIETY is a number one emotion that comes from this gate (False Evidence Appearing Real). Know that you are being aligned for something greater. Relax, release and surrender to all that is. I It is a wild time in our universe so prepare to use your tools and breathe. This time is being staged to create balance and understanding about where you are right now. Remember the most important thing BE HERE NOW. The universe is showing you what you need to shed. Prayers and blessings,...

WELCOME TO A NEW ERA – 2023 Get ready for a year of cosmic challenges across the board. 2023 Overview This year is about seeking the silver lining emerging from shadows with moon light in our eyes and roses in our hands, looking for the good that still dwells among us. The heart that beats beneath the skin of the world. This is the year of the Rabbit 2023 new moon and sun conjunction in Aquarius so the Chinese calendar resets at this time. The rabbit is a symbol of longevity imaged as an alchemist and shaman who lives on the moon with the moon Goddess change. The rabbit is about peace calmness and healing after the dynamic tiger year.

So this is a yin year – feminine and soft. This year the planets ask us to engage in dynamic social change and to create and nurture new cycles, webs and cohorts explore humbly before jumping into action. Structure and responsible Saturn starts the year in Aquarius and enters Pisces on 3/07/23. Transformative Pluto steps into Aquarius from 3/23/23- 6/11/23, then retrogrades back into Capricorn until 2/1/24. The new chapter of Pluto in Aquarius offers hope- But, don’t expect all sweetness and light. Pluto takes 247 years around the zodiac and last time it was here in Aquarius was 1778-1797, heralding an era for revolution. Surely our voices will be heard. Look deeper in life to keep...

At last week’s moon ceremony we made Native American Tobacco Prayer Ties. I wanted to share with you how and when to make these prayer ties, as they are very powerful and send our dreams, wishes and desires up to Spirit. Because of this, they should only be used on special occasions. For example, last week we used them on a new moon eclipse to manifest our dreams. You could try making them with manifestation prayers on the new moon in Capricorn on December 21, the winter solstice. Prayer ties can also be used to honor our family lineage and those who have passed. Try making one on Halloween or All Soul’s Day this weekend. Instead of using the prayer ties to manifest, you would use them to honor those special people from the past that are a part of your lineage by letting them know they are thought about, loved and a big part of who you are today. Show them that they are respected and revered in your life. Watch the following video to see how to make the Native American Tobacco Prayer Ties. If you have any questions or thoughts, please let us know in the comments!...
