Lunar Living, Astrology & Magic
January 14th, 2010 | 
Author: I don’t understand astrology much. I believe in it’s power for 1 simple reason. I know beyond a doubt that I am affected by the moon, so why wouldn’t everything else “out there” affect what’s “down here”? I know there’s still much dispute as to whether the moon has an effect on people (full moon lore, legends, and wives tales), but in my own personal experience, and in the end that’s all I’ll ever have, it absolutely does.
I set several “resolutions” for this new year, but over all they can be classified as simply an intention to explore my new Spiritual path. I’ve been constructing my book of light and really allowing the natural witch that was already within me, to come forth and take over my life.
By identifying with the label “witch”, I find I’m letting go of outside thoughts and judgments and allowing myself… giving myself permission even, to become. I’ve been becoming for a while now, but now that I’ve clearly identified it and stepped into it, things are changing… and moving faster. Some people may read that and have no freaking CLUE what I mean by that. For those that got that, it was for you. LOL
Anyway, I’ve been studiously living my life according to the moon cycles for the past year and I find it a rather comfortable rhythm to align with. Very natural. Even my own monthly cycle seems to synch itself up nicely.
In the spirit of taking inspired action, I’ve decided to expand my cosmic awareness to encompass some astrology. I’m not setting out to become a master at it, but in keeping with my “Jane of All Trades, Master of None”, shining reputation, I do endeavor to become adept with it.
So, in honor of my first love, on Moondays I’d like to start trying my hand at an astrology forecast. Not to be confused with a horoscope! It will be a basic introduction (because I’m BEING introduced!) to astrology and astrology in relation to spell casting, intention setting, and manifestation. It will be bits of what the cosmos have to say and snippets of how I personally intend to use the information I’ve gathered to effect change and manifestation in my own life.
Basically, a cosmic road map to what energies are abounding in the week to come and where your (MY!) focus will be most productively spent in relation to manifestation and personal/Spiritual growth, coupled with my own personal ideas and strategies for the coming week because face it, it’s my blog and it’s about ME! LOL
See you Moonday!

I find the subject of astrology intriguing but I have to admit I know nothing, so I look forward to reading your Moonday posts and learning more.
Great!
I know very little myself but I’m working my way into working with archetypal energies and those energies that are associated with different archetypes are also associated with the energies present when the moon and planets are in their houses in the zodiac. So it’s really all the same topic sort of. Like different chapers in the same big book!
El,
I know the basics of astrology – just enough to be dangerous! LOL Some of it resonates with me and some just doesn’t so I leave it at that. I do enjoy tarot, though but haven’t had much time lately to practice.
Will keep an eye out for your new “Moonday” posts!
Be blessed! ~A
That’s all one CAN do… take what feels good and leave the rest!
I’m learning about tarot right now also. I even added a most beautiful tarot deck to my wish list for Amazon. I want them badly, but alas I must wait until at least next month. I DO feel a post coming on about it though. LOL
