Lughnasadh, (pronounced Loog-NAS-ah), also known as Lammas falls on August 1st in the Gregorian calendar. In our Moon Priestess traditions, we celebrate Lunar Lughnasadh on August 7th this year, which is a partial lunar eclipse in the sign of Aquarius.
At this time of fruition, integration and reflection, take time to honour the seeds you've planted and celebrate this time of the first Harvest and your creative powers.
The visionary Aquarian Corn 'Empress' Full Moon (partial) Eclipse coupled with Leo Sun offer a unique window of 'shining' and offering our desires and dreams, to be seen and witnessed, so that we can embody them more fully in devotion to the planet. We are becoming adept to what is and what is not working in our lives through the lens of how we contribute to the world.
This is also known as the Corn Moon.

This astrological event also marks the start of a powerful 'eclipse season' which we will be journeying through for much of Summer (northern hemisphere)/ Winter (southern hemisphere). It is a month long portal of the Lions Gate, from New Moon in Leo this Saturday, to the Full Moon in Aquarius on August 7th that is a partial Lunar Eclipse, to another New Moon in Leo on August 21st that is the full Solar Eclipse! Wow! We are in for a POWER-FULL month of amplification, illumination, and transformation! Eclipses signify shifts, completions, endings, releasing and new beginnings, directions and openings. Because the Full Moon in Aquarius next month is sandwiched between 2 Leo New Moons, this is related to our own sovereignty, power, leadership, gifts, visions in...
Our deepest desires are illuminated and we are asked to ground them to the earth so that we can live them now, for the benefit of our own lives, and for the planet.
It's time to take stock of all of that we can be grateful for, for all the blessings and abundance already present, as well as what emotional and earthly needs/desires have not been met, and to initiate new ways to getting these met with creativity, support, and grace.
Also, in Vedic and Hindu Tradition, it is Guru Purnima! The special Full Moon, once a year, is a time of honouring those that have been, and are, our teachers. This moon is dedicated to those who have illuminated us in some way, who have taught us and guided us, and who have shown us more of who we truly are and why we are here.

This moon is also called the Strawberry, Rose, or Mead Moon varying in names from different traditions.
This Sagittarius full moon comes at a time of significant transition for the collective as we feel into our deepest dreams and ideals (the target), by activating our devotional embodiment practices (the arrow), held with the wisdom and truth in our hearts (the bow).
Making clear and honest choices towards our greatest dreams is highlighted right now. The blue flame of the Sag moon invites us into deeper Presence so that we can explore important paths/options/choices to support our direction from our bodies intuitive guidance, rather than solely from the logical mind.
This is also a time of celebration for all that is ripe in your life, whether this is related to an attitude of gratitude, completing a job well done or for embodying uplifting qualities, symbolized by the Honey Moon. Therefore, it is importa...
The Pink Moon comes from Native American Tribes that named this moon after the pink wildflowers which bloom in early spring, representing new beginnings. It is also called Gaia's Moon, referring to all of Nature coming to life after winter. This is a time of celebrating all that has been released from last season and all that is now coming into bloom.
This Full Moon in Libra taking place at 11:08pm PST on Monday night is a powerful gateway for creating healing and transformation in regards to relationship and partnerships, how we relate & connect to our selves, each other and life, and how we can choose to create beauty, balance, justice and harmony in our inner and outer worlds.
Full moons amplify our emotions and thus in this Full Moon, the emotions related to our partnerships and relationships is heightened. Remember to practice Self-love, have compassion for other, honour your boundaries and breathe deep.
As Venus, the ruler of Libra, is still retrograde and goes direct on April...
We are just entering into the transition phase on the Wheel of the Year from one season towards another. If you are in the northern hemisphere, what do you take with you from winter's wisdom into spring? What do you leave behind? If you are in the southern hemisphere, what do you take with you from summer's joy into autumn? What do you leave behind? The Seed Full Moon in Virgo assists in releasing what no serves you and can align you with the High Priestess/Medicine Woman within, as Virgo is the Divine Feminine and the 'Virgin'. In this Full Moon, we are called again to illuminate Self Sovereignty.
The word 'virgin' originally meant "whole unto oneself". What does it mean to be sovereign unto oneself? What does it feel like to be in our full power? At this full moon, we are asked to explore with a mystical lens (Pisces Sun) all the ways in which we give our power away and how we can reclaim it. The moon reflects to us the importance of activating our inner discernment, wisdom and i...

With this also being a lunar eclipse, it is a powerful transitional gateway of shift to release that which no longer uplifts you and illuminate your heartfelt and passionate self to roar as the wise leader of your own life (Leo). Now is the time to manifest your heart's sacred desires and offer your gifts to serve in the world with a sense of responsibility (Tarot of the High Priestess).
This is a pivotal window for us as a collective where our feelings, emotions, and intuition come to light to catalyze renewal and regeneration at the level of the heart and soul. It is a time of purification to breakthrough and resurrect your self-love, truth and power. And it is a time to liberate and celebrate the wild soul that you are!

We begin the year off with some potent power!
The name 'Wolf Moon' comes from Indigenous Tribes of North America, who gave names to each of the moons, in relation to their qualities connected to nature and the seasons. This particular moon was when the wolves would appear in the middle of winter, howling with hunger in villages.
Wolf Medicine, representing ‘Teacher’, great wisdom, wildness and inner freedom is beckoning our attention. Maybe you are already feeling it in your bones and are ready to dance and howl! This Wolf Moon reminds us of the importance to express our heart's truth and our wildness, to live feeling free.
Connected with Cancer, this moon mirrors the importance of 'Home'. The home that is our own body temple, our physical dwelling place and being at home on this planet. Caner moon reflects to us the importance of honouring the waters of our physical and emotional bodies and amplifies our deepest soul feelings.

We have come to the final full moon of the year!
With October, November and December of this year, we've had 3 consecutive Super Moons and this Cold Moon is the culmination of these energies before we enter a powerful 2017.
This last super moon of 2016 in Gemini asks us to illuminate our shadows and take responsibility for any communication that still needs to take place for making amends/ for forgiveness/ for clearings. This may be with yourself or other (including your ancestors). What may need to be shared to feel complete before the year closes?
What else needs to be cleared, cut away, or cleaned up all that is no longer necessary in your life? Just as the leaves fall to allow for the silence and spaciousness of winter, we too must let go to make room for new life...

a distance of 221,524 miles (356,508 kilometers) away. This distance, which is measured from the center of the Earth to the center of the moon, is within 85 miles (137 km) of the moon's closest possible point to Earth. Two hours and 37 minutes after perigee (the moon's closest point to Earth), la luna will become full.
This Shaman's Taurus Full Moon is simultaneously an illumination to the inner most chambers of our body as a temple to celebrate with love and gratitude all the blessings of the past year and be the action needed for transformation and healing in the collective consciousness (particularly relating to our ancestral blood line) and Mother Earth.
This super full moon asks us to illuminate our shadows and take responsibility for any seeds we have planted that now need 'weeding', whether in how we walk on the earth, communication that...
