Welcome the Winter Solstice
Shortest Day & Longest Night
The Season of Cardinal Capricorn

Global meditations and celebrations will be held throughout this night, to honor and celebrate the return of the light. As we prepare to pay our respects, let us set today aside to remind ourselves to slow down and pause in the darkness. There are so many ways to honor this special night. The spiral of a labyrinth represents going inward on our own journey and then back out to the world. The evergreens represent the strength of nature that can withstand cold winter nights. Candlelight symbolizes eternal love and can be placed inside a cut apple to remind us the seeds of potential in all of us.

Whether you walk the labyrinth, sit by a fire or candleight, or look to the heavens that will shine bright light, choose to reflect perhaps planting new seeds, prayers or intentions for all of humanity including you. Welcome with gratitude the Winter Solstice and Capricorn Season. As above, so below. My soul honors. Namaste. Well done Capricorn and Happy Birthday. Welcome Winter.

Happy Birthday to our beautiful Jill!!

Solar Eclipse
**Viewable USA ~ Buffalo, NY

BEGINS: 11:56 am
MAX: 1:11 pm
ENDS: 2:27 pm

Saturday's solar eclipse is known as an 'annular' where the moon slides in front of the sun but doesn't totally obscure it creating a halo effect known as the Ring of Fire.

This solar eclipse occurs in the sign of justice & balance, Libra but ALL ZODIACS will feel the effect. Once feared in ancient times and considered a disruption of natural order, eclipses are a magical and powerful force that causes a massive shift. The incoming energy that can happen during an eclipse has a meant-to-be quality that redirects the course of our lives in a miraculous way when we are otherwise too fearful to make the necessary changes. It is intense and strong energy but....always points us in the right direction.

Since the Universe is essentially stepping in to make adjustments to your life, you really don’t need to worry about shaping, controlling or manifesting at this point in time. After all, it is an eclipse. Right now, simply give yourself space to process the changes that are about to unfold, knowing all will happen as it was always meant to. If weather permits, perhaps plan your day around the eclipse by walking in the woods, hiking, meditate or just be still. Perfect time to sage your home, walk barefoot or even take a nap. Ground youself to the Earth.

Always pay respect to the cosmos. Pay attention to your animals who are more attuned to the sun and may react fearful or confused, and absolutely wear protective glasses!! Remember, don't look back you're not going that way. Happy Solar Eclipse. My soul honors your soul. Namaste.

Full Moon in Sagittarius ♐️

Coming in hot let us welcome the full moon in the sign of Sagittarius ♐️ bringing in some good luck! The ninth astrological sign of the zodiac, Sagittarius ruled by Jupiter has a reputation of bringing excitement and adventure. Saggies are known for being enthusiastic, independent, freedom seeking and idealistic. If you were 'hit' by last months Eclipse, expect incoming energy to be so much lighter. Sagittarius is a passionate sign and wants you to go the distance and get out of your comfort zone.

Farmers Almanac states “Strawberry Moon” name has been used by Native American tribes that live in the northeastern United States mark the ripening of “June-bearing” strawberries that are ready to be gathered. As flowers bloom and early fruit ripens, June is a time of great abundance for many.

If you do not have a moon ritual as part of your self-care routine, consider saging your home, clearing clutter, meditating or my favorite a day hike or full moon hike in nature. Repeated and predictable acts or “rituals” of self-love can have healing effects on our minds and bodies. Prescribing to a monthly Moon ritual can help you disconnect from the busyness of life, get back in tune with nature, and live life with more intention.

There are a lot of planets working behind the scenes. This moon will appear full for three days. Welcome the full moon. Remember, don't look back your not going that way! Well done Saggies. Happy manifesting.

Goodbye May and welcome brilliant June. Bless us with love, kindness, health, unity, compassion, goodness, opportunities, abundance, change and peace.

Lunar Eclipse & Full Moon Scorpio ♏️
*Not visible Stateside

Penumbral is derived from the Latin words meaning “almost” and umbra meaning “shadow.” North America was not invited to this event as the moon will be b-low horizon. The penumbral eclipse is when the earth's shadow slightly 'shades'' rather than fully darkens the face of the moon.

Lucky stargazers in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica, the South Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean will see this celestial event.

Just because we can't see it doesn't mean its not happening. Always remember... there are BIG changes that occur during eclipses. Look up. Pay your respects to the cosmos. Enjoy the beautiful full flower moon in Scorpio!

Total Solar Eclipse in Aries
Viewable South America
Thursday, April 20, 2023

Welcome the first 2023 Eclipse visible in the southern hemisphere in the first sign of the Zodiac ~ Aries. Aries is known for its passion and pride. Incoming energy will encourage us to strike out into new territory, launch new projects, and envision what we'd like to tackle in the year to come. Eclipses tend to 'provoke' a major shift in our lives forcing us to act (or react) quickly. But there’s also a meant-to-be quality to the shifts that can happen during an eclipse. Often, they redirect the course of our lives in a miraculous way when we are otherwise too fearful to make the necessary changes. Either way, consider yourself notified.

There will be four eclipses in 2023: Two of the Sun and two of the Moon.

●Solar April 20th
●Lunar May 5-6th
●Solar October 14th
●Lunar October 28-29th

Expect powerful new opportunities, journeys and experiences. Happy manifesting. Happy Eclipse. Well done Aries ♈️ !!

Hello Spring Equinox
Goodbye Winter
Monday, March 20th, 2023

The Spring Equinox is a time of renewal and new beginnings. A pivotal moment when the sun crosses the plane of the equator towards the Northern Hemisphere marking not only the first day of Spring and the beginning of warmer days, it represents the balance of light and dark, day and night, and outward and inward. The Spring Equinox is the FIRST season, lead by Cardinal Aries who is the FIRST zodiac which marks the FIRST day of the Astronomical New Year. It's time to begin again.

Ancient cultures incorporated astromony by building pivotal monuments at locations around the globe. Stonehenge, Temples and Egyptian Pyramids to name a few, built by ancestors who precisely align these monuments with the path of the Sun which are historical and cultural reminders to celebrate the Sun's return.

As the snow slowly melts and the afternoons begin to stretch into evening time, the earth sprouts signs of resurrection, fresh starts, and fertility. This day is such a welcome seasonal shift to release Winter stagnation, move our bodies, cleanse, declutter, soak up natural Vitamin D, eat seasonal foods to align and revisit the concept of balance within our physical body and our outer life.

There is always order in the cosmos and as we begin again, look up and not only pay your respects but CELEBRATE the Sun's return. Happy Spring Equinox 2023. It's time to reset. Well done Aries ♈️!!
