Majestic Magic of the Royal New Moon in Leo!

Greetings Fellow Metaphysicians!

Change, change, everywhere....the planets are moving and shaking .  In the glorious month of July, there is only one thing to say.  Leo, Leo, Leo!!  And this is a special month for Leo.  Right now the Sun is in Leo. The New Moon is in Leo!!  And the grandest of all phenomena, Jupiter is in Leo.  Now, obviously you have to check your personal chart, transits and birth, to find out exactly what this magnificent happening means to you!  I can do that for you for $20.00, if you wish.  Just go to my website at www.mysticalmagic.net, and click on contact to send an email. I will give you an exact explanation of the moon's activity in your life for this moon or ANY moon in the future.   I must say it is an exciting thing to look at your chart and know EXACTLY what area of your life will be affected by the moon.  It is uncanny!  The moon is unbelievably magical in our lives, unbeknownst to many people.

For example, I have an extraordinary New Moon and month happening at this time.  I have a Leo Ascendant and Leo in Uranus at 4 degrees in my first house, the EXACT transit of the new moon! As if that's not  enough, my PERSONAL Jupiter is moving into the 1st house, conjunct, and the SUN is in Leo, too!  This is all a very, very big deal!!  I can't wait to see what is in store for me right around the corner!  (Now that's my Neptune in Pisces talking.)

So for the Leo New Moon, you need to think BIG, BEAUTIFUL, GRANDE, MAJESTIC, ROYAL!!  Also....power, leadership, authority, organization, as well as love, mercy, sympathy.  A true Leo is majestic, proud, flamboyant, but also, loving, kind, forgiving and very optimistic.  No matter what your sign, this moon can help you with things in your life that you need to move forward in, depending on what house it is transiting in your personal chart.  Even with the Mars square trying to cause a stir, I really believe that the proud magnificence of the lion will rule in the end!  This is a time of hopeful optimism for you and your life.

Have Courage (Leo) in the unknown (moon)!  Bring to light (Sun) the expansion and assurance (Jupiter) of your quest (Sun).  Decide right now what you want, need, DESIRE to intend for you and your life to help you blaze that path of glory that can be yours!  Write down in your journals, create your visualization, know in your heart the universe is there for you, go out and thank the moon, the stars, the sun  for helping you achieve your dreams, despite the struggles or obstacles, that don't matter in the end anyway!

The best time to set your intentions, before the moon is void of course is  between 6:43pm EDT on Saturday evening until 8:37pm EDT on Sunday evening.   Write them down, make a little vision board, or 3d new moon vision board.

Be strong, be courageous, be happy, be royal!!

Truly,

Greetings Fellow Metaphysicians!

 The next Full Moon is upon us.  On Saturday, July 12th at 7:25 a.m., the Full Moon is in Capricorn.

 The Farmer's Almanac has historically named all the monthly full moons, and July has a couple choices.  Firstly, it is called the "full buck moon" because the buck deer are growing their antlers!  Secondly, it's called the "full thunder moon" because this is a time, historically, when there are lots of thunder storms.  Thirdly, it is called the "full hay moon", for obvious reasons to the the farmers.  Yay!  Good job farmers!  It is also called this month, a "super moon" because it is one of the times of the year when it is mathematically very close to the earth (the way it orbits). It is so bright because it is exactly opposite the earth and sunlight!  The moon is completely illuminated to us because that side of the moon is absorbing all that wonderful sunlight!

The best graphic to illustrate this is from www.moonconnection.com

Now for the exciting stuff... While scientists may "poo-poo" the effects on humans, we have heard horror stories, such as "crazies" running wild, animals acting extraordinary, humans "out of sort", lovers loving euphorically, etc. etc. You gotta admit, there is definitely a mystery underlying all this.  Then again, there is a mystery with all the planets, anyway, right?  It's just not that simple.  Not only do we take into account the moon itself absorbing all the awesome light, which is really the thing anyway, but what zodiac sign it's in, what degree it's in, what planets are transiting each other, and what astrological "house" your own private transit is occurring in.  For that you have to check your birth chart and transit chart.  (I can help if you need a personal moon analysis, just email me at readings@mysticalmagic.com.)  It's really complicated guys!! But bottom line is this....there is a "metaphysical and magical" :) occurrence that takes place during full moons. From the beginning of time, we have evolved from very "unscientific intuitions" about the moon collected from some very wise spiritual and scientific humans.  I think they all are right!!  The moon is a very "scientific" guy or gal, with lots of facts and nifty "valid" characteristics, yet also very mysterious and spiritual, possessing many qualities that can only be perceived through the senses or spirit....after all, it's the closest celestial body to the earth, and we have actually touched it with our human bodies.  Remember 1969??

The astrological implications to this July supermoon are stunning!  My excerpt from my facebook page Mystical Magic explains it the best!!  :)

"The main thing here is it involves some major players making some major calls. Never one to be left out of his years long starring role, Pluto in Capricorn, will conjunct (sit next to and on top of) the Full Moon in Capricorn. Hmmpff...Well! By now, we are all used to the "oh, no this", and "oh, no thats" (from that pluto uranus square). Kind of old news, right? The little guys, Venus and Mercury, are playing nice. Mars, of course has to make a scene somehow. But oddly, Saturn and Neptune are our saviors in the sky, with Neptune offering up a little mysterious spooky pretend excitement! Yay! So, to not get off topic, bottom line is this.....I would.....strut your stuff (Capricorn), own it (Pluto), conjure some extra goodies (Neptune), and make sure at the end of the day, (or night), you're safe at home making practical, confident "to-do" lists on how to build (Saturn) your empire (Capricorn), while you're living an alternate reality (Neptune in Pisces). I know. But hey! At the end of the day, Capricorn owns this one. And Cap knows you can do it, with grit, and stubborn refusal to put up with anything less. Good luck and may Pluto be with you!!"

So let's try to blend and appreciate the celestial majesty of the physical moon and the astrological magic of the metaphysical moon!!  They are both one and the same, after all.

My advice...when the moon is exact (it's not REALLY full until the time of exactness), get out there and take a moon tan, a moon bath, a moon dance, and soak up the light of  this beloved ball in the sky!!  There are so many rituals and ceremonies to celebrate during this time!!  As it becomes full in the a.m. during EDT timezone, you can also enjoy it's blazing magic the evening of the post 100% moonlight!  For example, Saturday evening you can put out your special possessions, crystals, drinking water, ANYTHING you want energized by the light and let them soak it up!  The energy is surreal and intense.  No wonder strange things can happen.  It's a great time to symbolically release any blocked energy internally, or with relationships.  Personally, I love writing "thank you" lists for my many blessings.   I think of ways I can help the earth and the environment.  I usually leave out gifts for my unseen friends, like the faeries and elementals, and try to converse with the angels!

Moon magic can be amazing and sublime...everyone should try it, whether you're a scientist or a spiritualist.  As this moon is in an earth sign with powerful planetary action, I will try to be "earthy" and "grounded" pondering the "fullness" of what life can offer, and what I can conjure.

Visit my website www.mysticalmagic.com to request a faerie or angel tarot card reading, OR a moon sign analysis.  Your sun sign is one thing, your rising sign another, but ahhh, the moon sign.  Now there's some "mystical magic" in that!

It's a marvelous night for a moondance.....

Fae-rie Magic!

Greetings Fellow Metaphysicians!

Now is the time, if you haven't already, to connect with your faeries.  Most locations in the USA (and Europe)  now have perfect faerie village weather conditions.  Find quiet, secluded, secretive, lush places in your gardens or on your property to create a lovely space for all your elementals to set up summer cottages and resorts!  ;)   I have set up a couple little villages, with the help of my little assistant, Izzy, to create a fun, lively, comfortable get-away for my faerie and elemental residents.

The fae love to be near tall, strong, protective trees!  Why?  Not only because they are great summertime spots, but because the tree spirits love the little fae, and they love them back.  The trees love being a part of the secret little world of hidden mysticism and magic!!  They ARE very protective and caring of the elementals, just as they love and protect the birds, squirrels, critters, and in some parts of the world, exotic and/or wild animals.  After all, elementals ARE just like the birds and critters, only existing in the "unseen" or metaphysical dimension.  Wherever you go, trees are a secret "hide-a-way" for animals and creatures in this dimension, and the unseen dimension.

The fae love little spots in bushes, gardens, flowers, and stones and rocks, as well.  As long as they can hide behind or underneath something, they are perfectly happy!

I have a weakness for shopping the garden centers for ceramic houses and cottages, and sometimes find cute dwellings in 2nd hand stores!  I will support any business that provides for the comfort or promotion of faeries!  That includes gnomes, elves, or angels!  But faeries really love the homemade dwellings of materials from the earth, such as leaves, stones, bark, tree branches, the "all natural" items that can be found in your own back yard!!  They don't like metal, or iron, though!  So we have to remember to check what is really under the paint when we purchase faerie house materials.  Your best bet is to gather from mother nature.  They love for the villages to blend in with growing foliage.  Nothing too groomed or clipped!!  

I also leave little gifts out for them frequently, especially at the full moon, new moon, faerie holidays, and special days that I feel are extra.  They love little shiny things, honey, flowers, twigs, crystals, anything that is of nature or magic, as they are magical creatures themselves.  Some humans create elaborate mansions, I'm sure the fae love those, and some simple little cozy dwellings.  I have them all over my property during the summer and fall months!  

You can find beautiful examples of fairy homes and villages on Pinterest, and even purchase some on ebay or amazon!  But the best thing you can do here and now is to get out in your garden and create a space with whatever is available at your fingertips!!

Happy Faerie hunting, and Bless the Fae!!

Next time I will explain the history and stories behind the mystical magical world of the fae....

Truly,

Lin
