Lammas/Lughnasadh 🌿🌻☀️🌽🧡✨
(Português nos comentários)

On February 1st we celebrate Lammas in the Southern hemisphere. The Goddess (Mother Earth), receives the last energies of the God (Sun), that are directed to the crops, allowing abundance to all Nature so we can survive winter time that is approaching, since the weakening of the Sun announces the end of summer and indicates that the period of fertility will come to an end. All phases are important to the harmony of the cycle, and Mother Nature comes to teach us not to fear this process as it is necessary to the cycle of life.

The Celtic God Lugh represents the Sun in Pagan traditions, giving name to this celebration. The offerings are made in gratitude to the Sun, when we acknowledge the God’s sacrifice four us, honouring the fertility of the sacred union of the Goddess and the God. Lammas means “the dough of Lugh”, which represents the harvest, the food made with its grains and that is shared in thanks giving among all who partake in the celebration.

When we talk about harvest, it’s not only about the crops, but also all we planted and harvested along our journey in the year, and that’s why this is the moment we give thanks to Nature for its life that nourishes us, allowing us to live this period of prosperity and abundance in our lives. ✨

Venus 13th Day 🌹(português nos comentários)
Friday the 13th is the day of the feminine a day that was made unholy by the patriarch. 13 is a sacred number, it is the number of the Goddess and in ancient times was a day to celebrate the divine feminine, which is within all of us, regardless your gender or no gender. It was also a day to honour the cycles, especially for women, who just like the Moon (that represents feminine energy), have 13 blood cycles in a year (that varies from woman to woman, which is natural, but that’s the average experience, especially in ancient times where the community experienced their blood Moons together).

In a 28-day Moon cycle for women, the 13th day will be around the time she’s ovulating, which again, like the Moon, is when a woman is considered to be at the highest of her energy, shine, power, abundance, and creation, even creation of another life.

Friday is the day of Venus, it was named after her (Viernes in Spanish, and in English, the name comes from Freya, the Nordic Goddess of love, sexuality and fertility among others). Those are also important and powerful representatives of feminine energy.

In the tarot, 13 is the number of Death, which is transformation, endings and new beginnings, also associated with a woman’s and the Moon’s cycles, as both go through a period of death and rebirth during each of their cycles.

Friday the 13th is a powerful and very feminine day, a day for celebration, acknowledgment, honouring the divine feminine energy that is in all of us, our creativity, intuition, the ability to surrender, nourish, receive, love with a trusting and open heart. Blessed be our Venus, the 13th day 🌹 🌬✨ 🌙

(Português nos comentários)♋️🌙The Moon arrived home, in Cancer, bringing the first Full Moon of 2023 on the 6/7th January, depending on where you are. She arrived making her point, dragging our attention to the archetype of the Mother. The inner mother is the one that nourishes us with her love and wisdom, guides us by the hand through darkness, offers us support and safety, always holding us. Around here she’s making a presence, permeating conscious and subconscious, bringing dreams of maternity and also spiritual guides anchored in the power of the Great Mother, that manifests in many ways, including as Mother Nature.

This Moon asks for self nutrition before nurturing the other, since when unbalanced, puts us in a space of over doing, sacrificing oneself by giving too much to others and forgetting to give to self, which never ends well. It’s time to be gentle with yourself, intuition and emotion will be highly charged, so it won’t be a surprise crying a river. Our sense of protection of those or what we love can also be heightened, that’s where the crab symbol of Cancer zodiac comes from, as it lost its life in a battle in order to defend those it loved. The crab had its memory marked in the stars, the constellation of Cancer, as a reminder of its courage and loyalty, traits within all of us, which also get stronger with the energy of this period.

Remember to look after yourself is one of the messages of this Full Moon. Reflect about what nourishing yourself means to your experience and about what really matters to you. Treat yourself with respect, in a loving way, honour what comes up, listen to your intuition, and like the balanced Mother, walk with an open heart, allowing it to talk to you. Let yourself be guided by compassion and self love, and be kind with your tears if they come visit you… ✨

AroHa luminous beings! ✨

As we approach the end of 2022 the energies of ending and new beginnings raise awareness of cycles for the collective. There are different opinions regarding the turn of year. Some people, like me, consider their birthday their new year, however, there are also shifts of energy with the end of the calendar year, not necessarily because of the imposed date, but for the vibration emanated by the collective consciousness that has embodied for so long those energies of “change” on that specific date.

Therefore, I’m offering one card reading (or two if you choose the duo) for the coming year. The Annual Major Arcana and the Personal Year Major Arcana are cards calculated for you through Tarot and Numerology using your personal information. The two readings are different things and I explain about each in the corresponding pictures.

There’s the option of choosing to get one of them, or both as a duo, you decide what resonates with you. If this aligns, get in touch and I will give further details. May we all have a blessed December!

Exchange

For either the Annual Or Personal Year
*Sliding scale from $33 ~ $66 (you contribute with the amount that is comfortable for you within the above)

For BOTH
*Sliding scale from $55 ~ $88 (you contribute with the amount that is comfortable for you within the above)

~ You don’t need to be present for the reading, it is done and sent to you as a file so you can have it to look into whenever you feel.

BELTANE 🔥🌸🌼☀️(Português nos comentários)

Beltane marks the point when we are half way between the Spring Equinox & the Summer Solstice and is named after the Celtic God ‘Bel,’ which is an Irish word for ‘fire’. The fires of Beltane reawaken our fire within, reminding us of the growing power of the Sun. We celebrate being alive, pleasure and reconnection with our sexual energy, in Beltane represented by the union of the Masculine and the Feminine energies, the forces of The God Sun and Goddess Earth communing to create a third force, new life.

The sacredness of sexual union is honoured and celebrated as it was seen by ancient people as a pathway to experience deep connection with self, with another and with Source, since it is one of the moments where we can be fully present and IN THE moment (if we let the mind out of the way), vibrating at higher levels of consciousness. Beltane embodies this knowledge, the joy of pleasure and the essence of aliveness of a sexual union, reminding us that this encountering of two beings (independent of gender or no gender) is not only part of our human experience, it is also a pathway to enlightenment, and IS Sacred.

The Astros are supporting us in this journey, with their placements in Scorpio around this time (there’s a post about Venus in Scorpio that talks in more depth).

Beltane is also honouring Pachamama’s fertile energy at this time of year, acknowledging the potency of abundance that the Mother holds and that we also have within us, the fertility inherent to all life. Beltane is a time of connection, of passion, joy and vitality, a communion with love, within and without. 🌹

♏️💫🦂 Venus in Scorpio (Português nos comentários)

Venus is entering the deepest and most intense sign of the Zodiac, therefore we can expect an equally intense time in our relations, which are ruled by Venus. She is the energy of the Feminine, Goddess of love, beauty, self-worth within us (regardless gender), and when transiting in Scorpio she dances with the intuitive, transformative and passionate energies of this sign. In simple words, we will not be in for surface connections, only real and soulful ones.

Together, Venus and Scorpio bring
intensity to the way in which we experience love. Scorpio is sexy, magnetic, irresistible, intimate, and is not afraid or ashamed of its sexual force. It is the Sacred Sexuality in its highest expression. Venus in this position offers us a delicious invitation for sensuality, sexuality and pleasure, with ourselves or with our partners, and can be a profound time for working with and/or healing our sexuality.

This encountering presents good space for deep inner healing as Scorpio is all about connecting at the deepest levels. We will be willing to bring to surface the shadows of our relationships which is in itself a path to create a stronger bond. If we are up to the challenge, this has the potential to be a powerful transformative time.

Scorpio doesn’t open up easily and won’t let anyone in until loyalty and trustworthiness have been proven, and here lies another opportunity for growth, through reflecting on our ability to trust and be vulnerable, a big one for lots of hearts.

Venus stays here until 15,16th November, depending on where in the globe you are. Until then, in the words of Elizabeth Gulino, “Get ready to bare your soul”.🌹

(Português nos comentários)🩸Moon blood, life force, creative energy, ancestral healing.
To plant my Moon, my blood of life is to honor the blood of my ancestors that run in my veins and in my womb, to honour the divine feminine energy, the Great Mother in her creative and nourishing principle.

It is to return the feminine blood to where it came from, the earth that nourishes and gives us life. Planting my Moon I give thanks to the cycle that ended, the lessons, challenges and patterns brought from the depths of me to be transmuted through my cyclicality. It is the let die of what no longer serves me to create the void from where the new is born, to spiral on an ascension of self healing, self knowledge, self love.

It is with humility and respect to offer to Pachamama all that I no longer am, align myself with the vibration of her pulse, reborn in her womb, the core of Earth. A Lakota prophecy says that when all women give their blood back to the earth, men will come home from war and earth shall find peace, as Mother Earth will then feed from the blood of life instead of the blood of death, generated from war.

To plant my Moon is a ritual of honouring the ancestral knowledge of those that came before me, honouring the Wild Woman that lives in my soul and the divinity that I AM.🌹

Aries Full Moon ♈️🌙🔥 (🇧🇷 nos comentários)

The opposition of Sun and Moon creates a movement in the sky where the Sun with its force of life illuminates the dark surface of the Moon, resulting in the Full Moon, as the Moon herself does not emanate light.

That’s why Full Moons tend to bring our shadows and unconscious to the surface, as just like her we receive a spot of light into our darkness, revealing all that was hidden, releasing energies within that were deeply buried.

This movement itself causes internal agitation as it accesses parts of us that we usually try to avoid. This Full Moon in Aries, on the 9th or 10th October (depending on where you are in the globe), tends to further intensify this agitation since Aries is the sign of the “I AM”, which when empowered is our leadership strength and self confidence, but when imbalanced brings to surface anger, frustration and aggressiveness.

Aries’ ruler is Mars, the warrior, the planet of action, what makes things even more passional, resulting in a behaviour that seeks confrontation. This behaviour is nothing more than fiery Aries energy trying to manifest. “The other” who we usually fight, is the one that is internally latent, materialised into our external perception.

A healthy way of letting all this intensity out is through movement, moving the body and physically letting go. The nourishment of self through self care and connection with our physical body are important allies during this phase which is proper to manifestation and active energy.

If you have been feeling battered, angry, or tired of “fighting”, take some time to yourself under this Full Moon, allow yourself quality time, especially directed to self care and movement, come back to the heart, give the warrior permission to rest.

✨NEW MOON IN LIBRA ♎️🌙
(Português nos comentários)

Harmony and balance are the key words for this new cycle. Libra is the energy that teaches us the lessons of the “we”. It is the sign that helps us in learning how to balance the self within a relationship, guiding us harmoniously through the evolving journey of relating to others, which is in itself a path for growth.
We are all in search of connection, and Libra is not only aware of that, it thrives in the partnership environment, be it romantic or not.

This lunar and solar cycle (Sun is also in Libra) is setting the mood for the next month, meaning our relationships might be brought forward in our lives so we can look into them for growth and if the case re alignment.

It’s good time to reflect on these interactions and some prompts can be helpful to navigate this energy. Journaling them is a way to help sitting with or expressing our feelings and emotions. Here they are if you want to give it a try…

-How are you showing up in your relationships?
-What are the challenges in them and what needs to be shifted for a more harmonious exchange?
-How do you balance the “me” in the “us”?

Worth remembering that a relationship with self is also a relationship that needs cultivating and love, so yummy time for self love, which is another gift of Libra, that above all invites us to love, ourselves and others.

Blessed Libra season to us! 🌬🌹☀️🌙♎️⚖️✨

SPRING EQUINOX CELEBRATION AND OSTARA
🌹🌙✨💐🌻☀️
Earth once again receives the same amount of light in both hemispheres announcing longer days in the South and shorter days in the North. The energy for us here on this side of the world is of light, joy, gratitude and opening to the blossoming of the new after the hibernation of Winter.

The Equinox is a powerful time of the year when our receptivity to the Spirit world is enhanced, and the Energy of Mother Gaia rises up, inviting us to align our hearts and spirits in sacred union with her.

It will happen under the star sign of Libra, which rules balance and harmony, allowing us to connect with and call in this energy. This time will also favour reflection and recharging as 6 planets will be retrograde, which is a call from the Universe for us to reconsider how we are choosing to spend our energy.

OSTARA is the ancient pagan celebration to welcome Spring and the change of an energetic portal on Earth. This is the time when we leave winter behind, letting go of cold and stagnation to transform our personal energy with the warmth and fertility of Spring. Ostara is the time of Soul transformation, not only spiritually but in many areas of our lives. It is associated with the concept of Easter, which was named after the Goddess Eostre as this is the time her energy is honoured as a symbol of the renewal of life.

Our celebration will be one of joy, harmony and connection with Nature. We will merge with her in her womb of creation and seed our intentions to flourish with Spring. Under the blessings of Eostre and Pachamama we will call in the energies of the Equinox in Libra and Ostara, working on the sacred flow of giving and receiving, on our balance and harmony in our lives.

Please get in touch if this offering resonates with you and we will save you a spot. Shane Dunne and I will be holding the space together 🙏🏼 Blessings to us all! 🌬✨
