Thurs 17 : Full Moon : Blood Moon SH : Wind Moon NH (Moon in Libra) : A powerful and commanding time.

Blood Moon : In preparation for winter, for the introspective time of the year, we seek to clean out the old. This month, we focus on cleansing out our personal spaces for the darker days to come. Our first step is to collect all old outmoded projects and release our hold on them. Then thoroughly clean and organise living space. Buy a smudge stick from your local new age shop and cleanse your space with sage or cedar. After you have done this, light a stick of frankincense and invoke those gods and goddesses with whom you share your life. Allow the energy to settle around you as you focus on the coming months. We are entering the time of thought, of cerebral activity. For some, school awaits. For others, the winter months are those spent cooped up inside due to inclement weather. Now is a good time to take stock of your goals and to plan ahead for the approaching winter. What do you want to accomplish? Affirmation for the Blood Moon: My mind is alert, I observe with keen insight.

Wind Moon : The Wind Moon of April is a good time to let the fresh breezes blow through to remove stagnation. For the Full Moon, make a list of things that have been cluttering your life on an emotional or psychic level. Decorate your space with a white cloth, fresh flowers, and a bottle of sparkling water. Also have handy either wind chimes or a beautiful-sounding bell. Light a lavender colored candle. Invoke a god or goddess of the sky. One by one, read aloud each item from your list, and imagine what it would feel like to be rid of it. Close your eyes, and imagine the wind sweeping through to carry it away. Ring the bell three times and say: "End to clutter, end to strife, remove stagnation from my life. Tinkling breeze blow through my rite, bring clarity and brilliant light."

Then take a sip of the sparkling water. Proceed through your list, and when you are finished, burn the list and cast the ashes to the winds. Affirmation for the Wind Moon: "My path is clear, free from obstacles."

Moon in Libra : You tend to sort your emotions out logically, always perfecting and refining your responses. You strive for purity and healthfulness, practicality and hard work. You have great moral and spiritual strength and will help anyone in need. You nurture others by assessing their faults and helping to find solutions for them. You look to your mother to be a model of purity, morality, hard-work and practicality.

Sun 20 : Sun in Taurus :
When the Sun is in Taurus, we are given the strength and tenacity to follow through on all the projects that were initiated only to be deserted during that impetuous Aries Sun. Taurus may not be a time for brilliant ideas or innovation, but remember that saying about reaping and sowing! Someone's got to do the grunt work sometime -- and the Taurus Sun is that time. However, just because the Sign of the Bull is a time of hard work doesn't mean you'll be completely bereft of pleasure! On the contrary, Taurus, as an Earth Sign, is all about tactile sensation -- the enjoyment you can receive from fine foods, the joy of physical contact, the reward of a warm bubble bath. The Bull also motivates us to attain a level of very basic security, the kind of security garnered through routine and through taking things slowly.
