Moon Phase Update ~ Suns day, Sunday 20th July 2014 Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone Our moon is approximately 37% of full and is Waning Crescent. Do you feel less energetic during the waning moon, especially the last week of it? Dont worry. A lot of people do. Unfortunately, the unaffected bosses, teachers, friends, and/or small children in your life arent going to be terribly sympathetic about this. When this happens to me - and it doesnt happen every lunar cycle - I do my best to get a little extra sleep. I find Im more likely to nap when the moon is waning than I am when its waxing. Im also more likely to make the time to take a long, soothing bath before bedtime. I just happily accept all this as part of being as attuned to the lunar calendar as a town-dweller can be, and go about my business.Sometimes, though, the waning moon is when you feel the most positive, the most energized. If so, take advantage of it! Do that project youve been putting off - clean out the garage, take that huge pile of recycling in, fix up your compost pile. Our moon is in Taurus all day TAURUS brings calm and stability, a time of fertility encouraging strong, slow growth. Take note of your material possessions; this is a good time to discard old baggage and start noticing the endurance of the earth. Bring rocks and wood into the home for grounding experiences. A time for determination and practicality where creativity flows and where we realize our relationships with others and create balance. Hormone imbalance and kidneys should be monitored through this moon phase. Place a bouquet of daisies, thyme, yarrow and rose in the kitchen and rose or geranium oils should be used in your burner. The laws of attraction are forceful in this phase. Taurus rules the neck and throat. Herbs to use are - elder, mint, thyme, elderberry, violet, marshmallow, catnip, rose, violet, vervain, wormwood and yarrow. The energies are Taurus and the Moon… There should be a lovely vibe today as the Moon moves through Taurus and through the second decan, which is guided by the Moon. Thats a sort of lunar double whammy, isn’t it? Since the Moon is in the part of the skies ruled by… the Moon, emotions come to the surface now. The Moon is the Queen of Emotions, to quote US astrologer Kim Rogers-Gallagher, so when we have this sort of celestial set up, its a time to get in touch with our feelings. Its also a very good day to let someone know how much you care. The Archangel guiding the Moon today is Gabriel. Gabriel is the angel associated with parenting (among other things). And the Moon is all about motherhood. So, if you are a parent, this is the day to get in touch with your softer side as you relate to your kids. Because Gabriel is also associated with announcements, and the Moon is about emotions, this is a very good day to express your emotions with loving-kindness. If you notice you are becoming a little over-emotional as you speak, ask Archangel Gabriel to help you to rein it in a little. The Sun rules Sunday. Like the Moon, the Sun waxes and wanes. From the Winter Solstice to Summer Solstice, solar energy is building, so it is a great time to grow with the Sun. The rest of the year, it is waning. Personally, we each have periods of the year that correspond with the seven planets, divided into periods of fifty-two days. The first fifty-two days from your birthday is considered a time of the Sun, a time of empowerment, success, health and prosperity. In general, for the Northern Hemisphere, the first fifty-two days after the Spring Equinox is a hemisphere solar period, lasting roughly from March 21 to May 11. Take a few moments to figure out your own personal Sun period. The magickal colours for today are ~ Yellow, Orange and Gold Yellow is connected with the Element of Air, the direction East, the zodiac signs of Libra and the Sun. Yellow is also connected to the Tarot card of the Star and the suit of Swords.Yellow is very stimulating and helps strengthen the mind and the nervous system.

Our Oracle Today ~ The Bard This card represents music; storytelling; and the passing of truths, myths, and legends from generation to generation through the spoken word or song. In ancient Avalon, the traditions and stories of the people were gathered on leaves that served as letters in a living alphabet and were tended in vast, long houses. Here the Druids and priestesses came to read and weave the stories of magic and the sacred relationship to the God/Goddess and the Mystery. Those schooled in the art of music and storytelling were given the task of informing their world and keeping the stories of their culture alive. They were given the name of Bard. When the Bard appears, you’re asked to seek answers in your personal history. Go back into your own story and find the threads of the patterns in your reality, and trace their length to the present. Perhaps you’ll be surprised by how much of your past, or that of your ancestors, still weaves its influence on you today. When the Bard appears, he asks you to retrieve the stories woven in the past. Perhaps you need to learn about the history of someone, or something important to your inquiry. The seeds of the future are always hidden in the soil of the past. It’s time to dig a little to find the clarity you need. Don’t be afraid to learn the patterns of history. The only way to honor them or change them is to know them. Perhaps it’s time to listen to music and allow yourself to be carried into the land of memory and listen for its messages as the strings of your soul are strummed by the hand of the Divine. Remember that the Bard appears to help you stay in tune with the All-That-Is. You are music, and your story is sung in the heavens.
