Full Moon in Aquarius/Leo You can do what you WANT to do or you can do what you are MEANT to do. How long are we going to stay out and play? It's time to partner the fun and games with some serious social commitments. That might translate into Tango lessons or playing with the dogs at the animal shelter on your day off. But the fact is when you have Leo pairing up with an Aquarian Moon the spotlight is on YOU and everyone else. We're all involved. Think generous teamwork. What can you do for the progress of our nation....our world? Make one wish for us all and follow through with your heart on a platter....even if it's just for this one day when the Moon guides us to inspiration and brotherhood...or is that sisterhood? |

A Spell for Standing Strong There are times we need to stand our ground when all we really want to do is run away from a situation that we find difficult to confront. We feel we are being threatened and are thrown off balance. This spell is for reestablishing your power and equilibrium and overcoming fear. Spray paint a staff you’ve found in the woods a glittering gold to represent strength and courage. (In a pinch an old broom stick will do.) Wrap it in ivy vine to promote overcoming obstacles and to break down self imposed barriers. As the sun reaches it’s apex, place your golden staff before you firmly planted in the ground and state: “By my will and by my right I will stand strong prepared to fight Against my fear and not take flight I’ll shift from shadow into light.” Raise your staff from to earth to the sky. ~ Igraine 2008 Witches Spell-A-Day Almanac |

Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse August 16th @ 5:16 PM EST Sabian Symbol 25 degrees Aquarius "A butterfly with the right wing more perfectly formed." The right side more perfectly formed hints at a yang imbalance. Yin is deficient....the Moon is eclipsed! Butterflies augur transformation and emergence but something needs altering to create harmony. If you have a luminary (Sun or Moon) or significant point of light in your natal or progressed chart @ 25 degrees of Aquarius/Leo then this Full Moon will be significant for you personally.

Meditation for Strength ~ Nimue from Tarot Portals A golden road opens to your view flanked with round topped green hills crowned with spiking pines. Long summer grasses rustle and sigh on the wayside where grasshoppers snap and flit, and cattails signal the presence of streamlets trickling in muddy beds. A warm wind is at your back, it's playful prodding buffets you forward where a field of giant sunflowers glory in the sun. Their upward turned faces are bursting with seed, corona-ed with lush yellow petals. They willow and nod to airy music made by the wind passing through them like a leaping dancer. You feel an irresistible call to step amongst their proud file, and indeed, the way takes a turn into their midst. A rush of joy sends you running , only to stop to clasp a ruby pendant suspended like a scarlet tear around the tallest sunflower... You scry deep into it's depths, for surely it is a gift meant for you to find and holds a vision. But suddenly the ruby metamorphisizes into a red, red rose. The velvet petals exude the sweetest smell, luring you into them as if you could walk their spiral corridors to the center, where a froth of golden pollen waits... Inhaling the essence of the red rose, your eyes fall upon another resting at your foot; but this one is white. White as a swans wing! You stoop to pluck it and..... there is another over there! A red one and beyond, a white. You follow the roses, gathering each to your breast. A red rose, a white rose, a red, a white... Eight white columns are laced with them. They parade up a sloping hill, the remains of a temple long gone. Yet someone has festively garlanded the cool marble colonnade. You walk along them, ceremoniously carrying the roses in your arms as in an offering to the gods. As you approach the top, a lion docily appears, his neck too, is wreathed with these roses. He lies down before you, wind, tousles his mane. He yawns opening a great, gaping maw; teeth shine and a furred tongue curls. You reach your hand to him and he bows his head to it. You tenderly place your hands upon him, listening to his quiet breathing. The lions golden eyes peer up into yours. He speaks. *Click on the Lion to listen to him |
