🌕♉ The final supermoon of 2024 rises at 4:28 EST. Many know her as the Beaver moon, Mourning Moon, Frost Moon, Deer Rutting Moon and Turkey Moon, just to name a few. She is joined in the sky by the beautiful Pleiades, or the "Seven Sisters," (the brightness of supermoon may make viewing most of this cluster difficult) and the Hunter of the Orion constellation, which will follow in the eastern sky.

Astrologer, Reda Wigle, writes, "Zodiac polarities, Scorpio (sun) and Ta**us (moon), are both fixed signs that go hard and hold on tight. Themes for this lunation include power, intimacy, resources, release, and self-rescue. This is the axis of life and death, sustenance and survival, what feeds us and what feeds from us. The moon is exalted in Ta**us, where it can claim comfort and return to stasis through pleasure. This position offers support and consistency in an increasingly unhinged world. The moon in Ta**us reminds us that no matter where lightning strikes or how unbearable the act of being becomes, we can return to the earthly anchor of the body and the promise of a fallow field."

Many see November's moon as intimately connected with death and loss, on both a literal and symbolic level. Some refer to it as the Reed Moon, drawing comparisons with the sound of wind instruments and the mournful music of spirits being drawn into the underworld. And let's not forget this full moon follows Samhain and All Souls.

According to the Farmer's Almanac, this full moon also correlates to the time of the year when trappers set their sights on beavers. The Beavers communicate danger by slapping the surface of the water, signaling others to seek safety in the dark depths, an apt metaphor for the Ta**us/Scorpio axis.

Those with planets in the fixed signs (Ta**us, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) may feel the effects of this lunation most - but those with houses ruled by Ta**us may want to look to those houses and what they represent in order to determine how this moon may express itself in their personal lives - or how they may want to focus their energies during this lunation.❤️

May the final harvest bring you strength and peace.
Call upon the past and Honor the departed as the veil thins between the worlds.
Look to the future with love in your heart: For yourself, for our earth and for others. 🎃

If you're curious, yes, AIFA is coming back in November. When exactly? I'm not sure yet but I apologize for the long absence. It's been nourishing and necessary. Peace, love and blessings to you all on this sacred Samhain and New Moon. 🎃

balance restored once more... 🍃🍂

Tonight, the Harvest Moon and Partial Lunar Eclipse shines in the sign of Pisces, the last sign on the wheel of the zodiac, ruled by intuitive and emotional Water. Pisces is on the opposite Axis from the earth sign, Virgo, where the sun currently resides - and together they may bring a focus on or a craving for stability, grounding and organization but also sensitivity, whimsy and compassion to the forefront of our mental, emotional and spiritual lives.

The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the Autumnal Equinox - which will be taking place in less than a week. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, it gets its name because it rises around the same time at sunset for several nights in a row, giving farmers a few extra evenings of light to finish their harvests before the fall frosts begin.

With summer coming to a close, many of us are winding down from a busy calendar and finding ourselves craving a long pause to rest and reintegrate ourselves into the day to day. We may even be feeling rebellious against the normal routine that we once thrived under. A good mellowing out may feel like the perfect prescription. Just remember, this moon - as well as the upcoming equinox - will call for us all to strike a necessary balance between the get up and go and the lay down and rest, the regimented orderliness and the free-flowing whimsicality, the get that money honey and the stop and think about others less fortunate, and the onward and upward and the inward and deeper.

And, since this is an Eclipse AND Supermoon, it could feel more like a harsh reality check than a gentle nudge. That's ok. We can handle it. Especially if this Virgo season eclipse in Pisces is poised to shake us out of any delusions we might be holding onto, so we can once again see our circumstances for what they really are. Taking off the rose-colored sunglasses can be uncomfortable at first but, ultimately, it's liberating.

Don't be afraid of shattered illusions. After the Tower comes the Star. ♥️

During my break from the podcast I’ve been doing this, that and the other thing… The other thing = my upcoming workshop at Anahata’s Purpose: Wellness Retreat and Music Festival – Creating Your Own Wheel of the Year...

Celebrating life’s special, happy and even mournful occasions is built into our souls as human beings. We observe holidays, we celebrate birthdays and anniversaries, we quietly honor memories of pain and loss – and, as spiritual individuals and/or magical practitioners, we celebrate the changes in the natural world and the cycles of life, death and rebirth. In some cases, we do this by celebrating what is known as the Wheel of the Year.

My purpose for this workshop is to tackle two issues that tend to arise when we learn about and celebrate The Wheel of the Year:

ONE – It doesn’t resonate with all of us for various regional, cultural or religious reasons and there is a plethora of other “Wheels” that could be incorporated.

TWO – The concept of there being 8 seasonal festivals often leads to the separation of what is observed from a magical or spiritual point of view and everything else. Herein lies my primary objective in this workshop.

By incorporating more important events, seasonal observations, special occasions, holidays and more aspects of the eternal cycles of nature and the universe, I want to help us all bridge the gap between the magical and mundane, and see that all things celebrated and observed are sacred – even bad memories.

I plan on taking my group through several (other) types of wheels, including the one we all know about, and new ways we can incorporate more of what resonates with us personally. And I’ll try to do this quickly because, we’ll be physically making our own personal wheels when it's time to get crafty and creative!

I’ll be supplying all that’s needed but if you want to bring some of your own markers, pens or stickers, feel free!

I’m really looking forward to seeing you all!

The Blue Super Sturgeon Moon in Aquarius will reach peak illumination on Monday afternoon, Aug. 19, 2024, at 2:26 PM EST.

A supermoon occurs when the moon orbits closer to Earth than usual, making it appear much larger. This is the first of four supermoons this year, followed by September, October and November’s Moons.

A seasonal blue moon is the third full moon in an astronomical season that has a rare four full moons. This will be the only full blue moon of 2024.

This particular lunation is in Aquarius – a sign focused on humanitarianism, unity, community-driven activities, and progress – but with Mercury retrograde in Leo, some miscommunications, as well as some revelations, may present themselves. (Try to listen carefully and respond without reacting from an emotional place for the next few days.) Aquarius is also the sign that rules technology, AI, and all things Internet-related, so there’s a good chance for technical difficulties, lagging internet connections, delayed flights and a sudden downgrade in our communication skills.

Being that this is such a powerful lunation however, some magic that works towards counteracting these effects and enhancing connection and communication abilities couldn’t hurt at all. AND, remember when I mentioned humanitarianism, unity and progress? Well, I can’t think of a better time for spell work in these areas than during a contentious election race.

The moon will appear full for three days, from Sunday morning through early Wednesday morning – giving us plenty of time to gather our will and get to work.

Whoops! I have not arrived in the nick of time... As many of you will already know, I've taken a lengthy break from the podcast, as well from posting here. It was a necessary respite and I've been benefiting from shifting my focus to homelife. However, I probably should have made mention of said break. So, APOLOGIES for my slip off of the face of the earth. When I decided it was time for me to take a break, I informed my patreon group and then stepped away hard! I should not have neglected to keep them and you informed as time has gone by, however, and I'm truly sorry for the lack of information.

So here is the long overdue update.

I have not left off permanently...
The podcast will be picking up where it left off on Friday, September 20th.
I'll be back to posting here sporadically - as we do - and, in the meantime, I've been happily working on my workshop for the upcoming Anahata's Purpose retreat - which I will be posting about later on.

Thanks so much for understanding that sometimes we need to retreat to the shadows for a bit. ♥️

🖕... I have a stake, not just because of myself and my loved ones, but because I give a s**t about my neighbors, my community, the land, the people, wildlife and our planet at large. It's a very large pool of compassion that some people should try dipping their toes in for once!
