It's a Midsummer Solstice Full Moon!

Greetings Fellow Metaphysicians!

We have a Full Moon in Sagittarius on Monday, June 20th, 2016, at 7:02 a.m., edt.  It is also the day of the Summer Solstice which hits exactly at 6:34 p.m.  It is a rare occurrence that has not happened like this since 1948.  The Faerie holiday, also called Litha in ancient times, is known of course as the longest day of the year.  The Sun is at its peak.  The Sun shines it's longest day, as the moon rises to greet us in it's fullness. It's long been known as a Honey Moon!  (A perfect day for a honeymoon, if you know what I mean.)  It is also known as a Strong Sun Moon.  The light from the moon and sun simultaneously looks a little like the color of honey, hence, the "Honey Moon".

It is a midsummer day and night, a full moon, the first day of Summer and it is jam packed with cosmic energy, the likes we can not even begin to unravel without pondering all the complications.  And it is complicated.  Simply put, there are many positive aspects, and many challenging aspect.  But, oh, it is such a pretty Sun and Moon!  Isn't it thought?

 As William Shakespeare so aptly stated in his very famous play, "A Midsummer Night's Dream"...

I chuckle when I think of this line, as it is so fitting for this time.  The natural world, the elementals, the animals, and the fae, all have it wrapped up.  If you haven't seen the Shakespeare play, this is the perfect time to start.  It is a time of slap-happy mishaps, doggedly determined futility, romantic illusions and delusions, master plans of epic proportions gone awry or haywire, all in the end, leaving us exhausted, and hopefully laughing, wondering why the heck we wore our poor selves out running around like a bunch of nut cases.  

There is a light, sunny, and bright side to this.  It is now Summer, after all.  It is a holiday for the natural and metaphysical world.  The Sagittarius moon is ready to conquer the world.  There will definitely be mystery and excitement with Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus playing the game.  The Sun will add some spice to the mix.  Jupiter is playing mister big stuff, of course, and with him being the ruler of Sag, expect some major players to step up and lead you down the path (probably the wrong one, unbeknownst (or not) to them or you).  

There is also a dark side to this moon.  That mystery I mentioned earlier may be a little dangerous.  And that guy that's trying to take you down the path....well....I would kick him to the curb.  Venus (love, beauty, cash, and luxury, did I say love?) is trying (I think) to play nice with the Sun and Jupiter (the good guy, so he thinks), but I don't trust it.  There is too much of a pull to cause havoc in a major way, especially with all that metaphysical mayhem going on behind the scenes.  Refer to Shakespeare's play.  Mars retrograde (male bravado, aggression, ego) and Mercury (communications, now-you-see-me-now-you-don't) is messing up those nice and agreeable aspects mentioned heretofore.

Remember...

-We are already heavily submerged in the Neptune in Pisces quest for euphoria. 

-The Sagittarius, Neptune, Saturn dilemma is being activated and exasperated by this moon.  All is not what it seems.  You must sort it all out with convoluted guidance.  Good luck.

-The big guys, Saturn, Pluto, Neptune are all retrograde.  Get a grip.  Seriously.

-Mars is still retrograde, causing major frustrations, especially in relationships, any kind of relationship, even with yourself.  Some will escape this.  You have to know what you're dealing with. Hang in there.  It's almost over.  

-Poor Chiron is still in Pisces, busily trying to shuttle from soul to soul, and licking wounds and soothing hurt feelings.  Sniffle, Sniffle.

Which brings me to my next point.  Take care of your health y'all.  Get out there with Jupiter and start a new work out plan.  Revisit your eating habits.  Rethink your medicines and supplements.  Take care of yourself, especially now.  

The energy is loaded with challenges, but in the background, it is still a beautiful world.  "And I think to myself, what a wonderful world."

At the end of the day, it is all meant for good, ya know.  Enjoy your Full Moon & Summer Solstice! Enjoy your Faerie Holiday, please!  Count your blessings and your lucky stars.  There are millions and trillions of them. Set up some faerie villages under your trees.  Plant your summer pots, sprinkle your magic dust, dance under the moonlight, sing under the stars, forge ahead with all your past new moon wishes!  They are still going to happen, after all.

Happy Full Moon!

Happy Summer!

Happy Midsummer Night's Dream!

New Moon in Gemini, Dancing in the Moonlight!

Greetings Fellow Metaphysicians!

There is a New Moon in Gemini on Saturday, June 4th at, 10:58:28 p.m., edt.

Now I am a positive person.  Always have been.  I like to make lemonade out of lemons. Must be all the Neptune flooding my chart.  I believe what I want to believe, and so it is. I love to out-trick the master trickster, The Artful Dodger him/herself, Gemini.  It's all in good fun you see.  No harm, no foul.  Gemini loves a rockin' good time, playing mind games, playing now-you-see-me-now-you-don't.  It just depends who the other players are in the game.  That's a different story.

This New Moon has so many auspicious elements attached to it. Just make sure to activate your sonar/radar protective shield and detector.  Don't play the fool.  No matter whose side you're on.  Remember. Now-you-see-me-now-you-don't.  Have fun!  Enjoy the moment!  Make lemonade out of lemons!  Be prepared to out-trick the trickster....if you can.

Before I lay on the heavy stuff....I have a piece of advice.  Try to have a good time.  Go dancing. Go singing.  Socialize.  Hook up with your peeps. After all, it is a New Moon.  And it is a New Moon in Gemini.  Click on the song.  I'm just sayin'....

Ok.  Now for the heavy stuff... This is a tough call and hard to explain.  Mars and Saturn are retrograde.  Mars is in Scorpio, and Saturn is dangerously mega-millimeters close to it's old nemesis Scorpio, opposing what could have been a good call for Mercury, if it wasn't sitting in Taurus right now, stubborn old hard-pressed Taurus. The good news is Pluto and Jupiter ARE in earth signs supporting Mercury, hence we have the option for a rockin' good party for the weekend New Moon. Just keep it close to home, and watch your back.

Don't.  I repeat.  Don't. Make. Plans. For. A NEW long term love affair.  If you're already there, you're good...maybe.  Wait it out.  Don't push.  Besides, Lilith, the female goddess of  the dark side of the moon is in Scorpio too, sitting there waiting to strike the feminine ego.  While it is a hot and steamy lovers' energy.....Don't. Think. For. A. Minute... you will know the outcome.  You may, or you may not.  Remember.  Now-you-see-me-now-you-don't.  Seriously? Who has time or inclination for that?   Wait for the wind to blow....(the Gemini wind).  Just have fun where you can.  Enjoy it. Why so serious?

I will say with Jupiter and Pluto in earth signs forming nice aspects in auspicious places, this is a good time to work on mental, psychological health, which in turn, affects your physical health, whatever your situation may be.  Try meditation, mind-over-matter techniques, positive thinking. With these aspects hitting Mercury (now in Taurus, an earth sign, but soon to be in it's own sign of Gemini), it is a very good time to plan and implement (New Moon energy), a new mental and physical health program for the Summer. Also, one important tip, due to the aspects and locations of these planetary goodies, it appears that reaching out to the lonely, sick, abused, abandoned, forgotten souls, can also comfort the one doing the reaching.  It's like chicken soup for the soul.  The healer becomes the healed (Chiron in Pisces).

Ironically, with all this tricky energy going down, it IS a good moon for a spiritual or metaphysical businesses, as well as healing businesses, to thrive!!  Also, Artists and creators will do well under this moon. The spiritual aspect is strong in this one, so anything that involves metaphysics or spirituality is auspicious at this time.  Just be sure it is all for good, as it WILL come right back at you.  The trick with this moon will be deciding exactly WHAT is good...

And now for the New Moon intentions and wishes.  After all, that's what it's all about.  You may set your intentions right after the new moon becomes exact at 10:58 p.m., edt, on Saturday, until Sunday, June 5th, at 12:47 p.m. Then you can begin again at 11:47 p.m., when the moon leaves void-of-course.

-Write down your intentions and wishes in your journal.
-Display an altar with symbols and trinkets representing your wishes.
-For this air sign moon, leave out feathers to attract faeries and angels.
-See my website at www.mysticalmagic.net to get tips on activating moon energy.

We are still dealing with the past moon cycles and eclipses that have brought us to this point. You can ALWAYS continue to work on your old intentions and new ones, of course.  Always remember your karma.  Always remember that any cosmic or spiritual energy is meant for good. Importantly, you should check your personal transits to see how they line up with this energy.   Email me with any questions at readings@mysticalmagic.net

Have a Happy New Moon!  

Have fun with the Fae and the animals...

Help the sick and abandoned souls...

Go dancing in the moonlight!
