1: Chinese New Year : Year of the Goat Corn Moon : As Lughnasadh, the harvest of grain and corn, arrives, we begin to think about the coming autumn and winter. Before the harvest can be reaped, we must rid ourselves of excess clutter. Decorate your altar/space with a gold cloth, ears of corn, and a chalice of wine. Have ready a cauldron or stainless steel bowl in which you can burn paper, and a black candle. Cast a circle and invoke your gods and goddesses, and light the candle. Prepare a list of those things you are ready to sacrifice from your life for this season, for example: giving up the need for constant control of your life, or sacrificing the need for perfection. When you have your list, focus on letting go of these unnecessary impediments from your life, and touch the paper to the candle flame. Drop it into the cauldron and offer them to the spirit of the first harvest. Be sure to have water nearby in case of an unforeseen accident. Affirmation for the Corn Moon: "I sacrifice that which is no longer useful in my life. " Quickening Moon : Come February, we look toward spring. Imbolc reminds us of Brighid's fire, and so this month we focus on creativity and inspiration to hold us through the last grasps of winter. For our Full Moon ritual, we focus on Brighid and Her fiery nature. Brighid rules over the spheres of poetry, healing, and smithery. Decorate your altar/space with a red cloth and set three candles out: black, red and white. Add a jug of cream as a libation to the Goddess, then, around the base of the altar, arrange the items you use in your art, writing, or other creative projects. Cast a circle and invoke the Lady Brighid, then light the candles. Say:" Lady Brighid of forge and fire, hear now my heart's desire. Bless these tools with which I create, woo for me the hand of fate. To reach my dreams, inspire me, as I will, so mote it be. " Spend some time in quiet meditation after this simple but effective ritual. Affirmation for the Quickening Moon: "I am creative and inspired." Moon in Leo : The Moon in Leo marks a time of ambition and magnetism. Ruled by the Sun, Leo creates an influence of warmth, enthusiasm, and enjoyment. People may feel creative, dignified, and generous. It is a good time to pursue romance, be social, and to help others. Like the Lion that symbolizes Leo, people may feel self-assured but also crave appreciation and recognition. Care needs to be taken to avoid overdramatic displays to grab the spotlight or leadership positions. |
Wed 19 : Sun in Pisces : When the Sun is in Pisces, we turn inward. Through nurturing a personal, internal peace, we are more able to empathize with others and to reach out in ways we might not often allow ourselves. Pisces, an emotional and intensely compassionate Water Sign, tunes us into the feelings of others on an intuitive level: Subtle facial expressions or turns of phrase can speak volumes during this time. It is a tolerant, patient and sometimes overly trusting energy that, because of its Mutable quality, can take the form and character of the situation in which it finds itself. Pisces urges us to open ourselves up to the experience of interpersonal connectivity, but we must be cautious that our emotional honesty and availability do not get us into trouble. This sensitive influence can be taken advantage of and causes easily bruised feelings. Our will may be more brittle at this time, for we are feeling the emotions of others more acutely than ever. A good time for:
