Quickening Moon in Virgo

February 27th, 2010

Blessed Saturday to All!!

I’m having a very slow weekend. As I sit here typing this, I still don my bed hair, jammie pants, and a big, over-sized sweatshirt. Ah, the joy of a lazy weekend!

Today my only interest is relaxation and enjoyment, so in the spirit of my goals for today, I give you some things to smile about!

~ Today, Saturday (2-27-10) @ 3:15pm EST, the Moon v/c until 7:52pm this evening ~

As I’ve already stated and HAVE been saying for days now, my only interest at this time is rest and relaxation! Coming out of illness and my personal moon cycle AND a lot of stress, being at peace and relaxed and calm are my only concerns right now. The moon going void of course is always supportive of rest and recuperation mainly because it’s NOT supportive of beginnings or manifesting, which today, is fine by me!

~ When She rights her course @ 7:52pm EST, she’ll move into Virgo where she’ll remain, from Saturday evening, through our Quickening (Full) Moon @ 11:38am on Sunday, and until 12:36pm EST on Monday (3-01-10) ~

My almanac says: Virgo favors the accomplishment of details and commands from higher up. Focus on health, hygiene, and daily schedules.

Virgo is an Earth sign and places emphasis on things that you might describe as grounding. Things that are practical, functional, nurturing, stabilizing, etc..

** The Quickening Moon falls Sunday and it’s an AMAZING time for ritual and creation! We know the Earth below us is stirring to life and we are but a few short weeks away from seeing the first visible signs of life emerging from our Mother. Preform rituals for self growth and purpose. What do you want to achieve personally? **

~ Moon Manifestation Tarot Card ~

*I find it ironic that I spilled a potted plant and covered my tarot deck with Earth as I reached for them to draw a card for my Earthy weekend :) *

** Queen of Cups **

The Queen of Cups is telling me to focus upon my intuition and psychic development during this Quickening Moon. To say I’ve been feeling the quickening of psychic development a lot lately would be an incredibly accurate statement. As I typed about personal goals and achievements above, I wondered in the back of my mind just what I should personally focus upon. Looks as though I’ve gotten my answer.

~ My Plan: Saturday evening through Monday afternoon ~

The Full Moon is recognized over 3 days time. The day before, day of, and day after. I am very excited about this grounding and centering, Quickening Moon in Virgo. Especially so now that I’ve drawn the Queen of Cups and am intending to focus upon that little psychic voice inside of me. That little voice excites me quite thoroughly.

I’ve got no plans, nowhere to be, and nothing happening this weekend. Not only that, but we’re in the middle of a 3 day snow storm and are quite literally snowbound right now. How wonderfully perfect!

Today I’m simply going to spend time watching this beautiful storm and communing with my Spirit. Tomorrow I will take advantage of the Full Moon and do a ritual for the expansion of my psychic vision. Then Monday is my “Day Spa Monday” so i see no reason why I shouldn’t spend the day honoring my inner and outer Goddess & being at one with the Universe. Sounds like pure bliss to me!

Plenty of grounding and centering going on. Oodles of personal focus. And my personal favorite, lots of rest and relaxation. As a side note, I need to pay some attention to my household cleaning schedule. Time to re-evaluate and rearrange some things. I know I’m not the only person who has some clutter and chaos at home. This weekend is a wonderful time for setting chore lists and schedules. Virgo’s energies are quite conductive to lists and schedules for the household.

What sort of personal goals will you focus on? What do you want for you?!

The Moonday Manifestor

February 1st, 2010

Hello Great Blog World!

I know I’ve been completely missing for a bit now, but it’s been a wonderful interlude for me. I didn’t have fun or travel or party or do anything one might deem a “good” thing. Nope, not me! I sat at home, depressed and miserable. I fought with my husband. I yelled at my kids. Overall, I basically found myself becoming more and more uncomfortable until my boundaries gave and I experienced growth.

Growth is a funny thing. It’s all the same. Physical, Spiritual, personal… You grow as much as you can for the container you’re in. Once you reach the walls of your container, you experience first discomfort, then sometimes pain, and then just when you think you can’t take it anymore…. something gives…. and you break through your walls and you experience growth.

We forget this. We experience it over and over through every stage of our lives and yet we sometimes fail to connect the pain to the growth. Feeling the pain and refusing the growth only causes the pain to continue repeating until the growth can happen.

If you’re in pain, you’re not alone. There’s always someone to reach out to. Luckily for me, I have my girlfriends:) But most importantly, know that you’re just trying to grow… so really, the pain is a good thing. It means you’re alive and here and about to become and even BETTER version of the already pretty fantastic version of You!

~ The Moonday Manifestor ~
I don’t know if all the things I have been going through line up with the houses the moon has been passing through and I considered going back to look. I’m not much of one for looking back though. “Keep moving forward” is one of my favorite things to say, so that’s what I’m going to do. Just keep swimming swimming swimming…

I’ve also decided that I don’t want to jump all that deeply into astrology. I’m Luna Light. I’m all about the moon. I figure, it’s the closest celestial thing to me. It MUST have the most immediate effect. I’m just going to stick with Her.

This week is going to align wonderfully for me. I feel like the Universe is laying out everything for me and helping me to find the time and space I need to find my way and grow. I love this beautiful experience that is life.

~ Astrologically ~
*Sunday morning through Tuesday morning*
The moon entered Virgo on Sunday 1-31-2010 @ 8:23am est and will remain in Virgo until Tuesday 2-2-2010 @ 8:42am est.

My almanac says: Virgo favors the accomplishment of details and commands from higher up. Focus on health, hygiene, and daily schedules.

~ Personally ~
*My manifestation schedule through Tuesday Morning*
This is fantastic for me because some of the things I’ve really been needing to get in order will be getting overdue attention. NOT the personal hygiene part if anyone wondered! LOL

I’ve been procrastinating like crazy over getting the electric, gas, and water turned back on in our rental and getting that place cleaned up and re-rented. Today I felt inspired to get my ass in gear! I’m also going to be able to take care of what the old tenants still owe while I’m up that way tomorrow scheduling the water turn on and letting the electric guys in.

And speaking of the commands from “higher up”… I’ve become overwhelmed with a passion to start a business. I don’t want to say much about it right now, but in the spirit of the accomplishment of details, I’m going to be finding out about getting the business license tomorrow!

~ Astrologically ~
*Tuesday morning through Thursday morning*The moon will enter Libra this Tuesday (2-2-2010) @ 8:42am est. and remain until Thursday (2-4-2010) @ 4:27am est when it will go void of course until 11:56am est.

My almanac says: Libra favors cooperation, compromise, social activities, beautification of surroundings, balance, and partnership.

~ Personally ~
*My manifestation schedule through Thursday Morning*I’ll be making calls about my business license in the morning as the moon transits from Virgo to Libra. Both signs are very supportive of my overall goal there so I’ll be moving forward :)

Favoring cooperation, partnership, and the beautification of surroundings! That sounds like I need to make sure we keep moving forward with our master suite remodel. Eeee!!! I’m SO excited about it. It’s nearly done. Another week or two! There was talk of drywall for the ceiling and even insulation and walls to go up! Those are the finals things and we’re IN!

During the “void of course” Thursday morning, I intend to start and DO nothing. Maybe I’ll take a bath and just meditate. It’s empty energy to work in though so even visualizations can be pointless. I like the 7 hour do nothing card.

~ Astrologically ~
*Thursday morning through the weekend*The moon finds Herself in Scorpio on Thursday (2-4-2010) @ 4:27am est where She will stay until Saturday (2-6-2010) @ 11:11am est.

She’ll go void of course from 11:11 until 7:04 pm when She’ll enter Sagittarius and remain until after next Moonday :)

My almanac says: Scorpio Increases awareness of psychic power. Precipitates psychic crises and ends connections thoroughly. People tend to brood and become secretive under this moon sign.

Sagittarius encourages flights of imagination and confidence. This moon sign is adventurous, philosophical, and athletic. Favors expansion and growth.

~ Personally ~
*My manifestation schedule Thursday morning through the weekend*Thursday nights through Saturday mornings energy for increased awareness of psychic power from Scorpio will have me meditating no doubt! That’s one of those things I’ve been meaning to find time to focus on. This will be the time. I’ll be sure to set aside some time all 3 days that the moon is in Scorpio and let the energy floooow!

All afternoon Saturday during the V/C will be a wonderful time for me to think about rearranging my kitchen. With my new cupboard (thanks to our remodel!) I’ve been meaning to stretch out and expand that kitchen space.

Sagittarius encourages my imagination and confidence and sense of adventure from Saturday night until Tuesday so I’m penciling in time to focus on my ideas for this wonderful new business venture!

Gnome Fantasies & Garden Dreams

January 7th, 2010

I spent my morning, Wednesday, volunteering with my shorty’s second grade class. They’re such a cute bunch of kids. I’ve been volunteering with Eddie’s class since he was in kindergarten, so many of these kids I’ve known for a few years, and I’ve watched them grow up right along side my own.

I was leaving the house at my usual 9:50 to be there by 10:00, but I found a layer of ice so thick on my windshield that I couldn’t scrape it away with my snow brush scraper! It was a lost cause. I got inside and waited with the defrost on until the ice started to look a little… different… and THEN got out and hit it with the scraper and it came off in sheeeeeets. The roads were completely ice covered with a nice, thick layer of slush on top.

I stood at the door a moment ago and listened to the crackling of the landscape in the breeze. It’s only 25 degrees out, but still the rain continues to fall periodically. I’m going to call the school in a few minutes here and put my kids on the “pick-up” list. In any kind of hazardous driving weather, I just can’t allow them to ride the bus. Thank Goddess, I am blessed to have the option :)

As I’ve been here in my chair, watching this blizzard rage for the last 3-4 days, my mind has been entertaining ideas of spring. I know it might seem like January 3, 4, 5 might be a touch early to be entertaining gardening fantasies, but I disagree! Ever since 2008′s winter solstice, I feel differently about this time of year. Yes, everything is completely buried under FEET of snow and ice right now, and will stay that way for 3-4 months.

HOWEVER!!!

I feel almost charged with electricity this time of year! We’ve passed the darkest day and now the light is building. It’s the upswing. Even in the snow and cold, the earth below is renewing itself and resting. As the light builds slowly, so does the temperature until one morning VERY soon, I will look out into my back yard and see the tiny green chutes of life poking through the leftover snow where my daffodils will soon stand tall. It’s…. thrilling… magical.

Ah Magic! The word that brings me here to this post.

In looking forward to constructing a garden this spring, I had a sudden thought. Gardening. Growing vegetables, herbs, fruits…even flowers. THAT takes a little magic. That takes some know-how and some research and some reading and some trial and error (mostly error for me thus far! LOL). Gardening and all things related is DEFINITELY something that belongs in the Book of Light that’s used by a wife, mom, homemaker &/or solitary witch.

Hey! That’s me!!
And so it shall be done. I need a catchy name for it…. OH! All things grown… That would be Earth Magic :)

I’m very excited now! I know that the reason I’ve had garden flop for the last 2 years is because I was REALLY half-assing it. This year, the whole ass goes in baby! Wait. Oh never mind.

I’m looking forward to spending the next few months gathering information on the plants I want to grow and learning about what I need to do to make THIS year’s harvest a total success! I foresee the “Earth Magic” section of my book filling up quickly!

Be Blessed* )
