Midsummer, Summer Solstice, and a Full Moon (the Strawberry Moon)

Midsummer, Summer Solstice, and a Full Moon (the Strawberry Moon).  The Moon enters Capricorn and the Sun, Cancer.  What a beautiful, glorious and powerful day we are experiencing.  The longest day of the year, the middle of the summer for a few, the start of summer for some, some early harvests, and a Full Moon to work under and perform a little Magick!

For a few as I said previously, this is the middle of summer.  This does make sense if you think about it, that this is Midsummer for the days will now grow ever shorter until the Winter Solstice where we'll experience the longest night of the year and realistically speaking celebrate the middle of winter, Midwinter, I suppose.

For my partner and I we estimate the beginning of summer should start somewhere in early May, perhaps, the 5th or 6th of the month.  As this is the midway point between Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice.

It's a wonderfully sunny day here in New Westminster, the eight o'clock hour is mere minutes old and the sun is still shining.  Here in the condo the African Violet is in full bloom, and Peace Lily is standing tall and proud, leaves stretching mightily toward the sky.  Or in this case the big, bright southwest facing window.

Time to sit back and relax with my books, my stones and crystals, Tarot Cards, and enjoy Spirit's energy.

Namaste!

IX The Hermint and Finding Answers

Yesterday was a fairly quiet day.  My partner cleaned up a little bit while I worked on creating cards.  We then took things down to the car to deliver the remnants of the cleaning process to the various locations lucky enough to receive our unwanted possession—the Salvation Army and the Recycling Depot.  I then continued to create cards and stamp more images throughout the day in between lunch, a walk along the quay, then dinner and an hour or so of television.  I’m really trying to keep my focus on making cards and being humbly proud of the cards I’m making.

Thank You Spirit.

I’ve awoken early this morning full of worry and anxiety about not being employed or having any income coming in and still debts to pay.  But I also came to the realization that I cannot sell myself short either and should be seeking employment to match my employment and education backgrounds as well as my skills and talents.  I’d love to have a crafting studio somewhat open to the public and will put it out to the cosmos that this is my desire and let it percolate out in the cosmos while I seek alternate forms of employment.  I know this though, my RV is a great little space for my crafts and my yet unmentioned hobby.  Enough said.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “IX The Hermit: To fully understand something, sometimes you must escape it.  Gaining perspective.  Solitude.  Study.

The first thought that came to mind when I saw this card is that it is time for me to find answers about myself.  I then looked for where the Moon is today and it is Scorpio and today being Sunday, the Sun also features prominently today.  I have much to be thankful for with these occurrences.  Psychic knowledge is powerful today as is Spirit, Strength and Protection.  Psychic crises may arise today as well but armed with this knowledge should guide me as to how deal with and work my through whatever comes my way today.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Have Fun!

Had another successful dinner with a friend last night and awoke at the perfect time as the Moon is still hanging about as the blazing Sun brightens this beautiful morning.  Unfortunately the building we live in does more to block the Moon than allowing me to see her as I love to go out on the deck in the evening to look up at the night sky, amazed at the stars and planets I can see amongst the bright lights of the city but especially when I can see the Moon in all her glory.

Thank You Spirit.

Today’s visiting Taro t Card is “VII The Chariot: Among the highs and lows of life, make sure you enjoy the highs.  At the top of one’s. Seizing an opportunity.  Having everything under control (barely).”  As I read in the Collins gem book “Tarot” I need to have “confidence, strength of purpose...and endurance”.  I think that I can muster these but only with adopting good “organizational skills” that Collins Gem also mentions.  I have to be mindful to work at creating my own life with much focus and forethought.  I need to be aware of what I’m really after as well as maintain a steady an unwavering focus on my dreams and goals.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
