How the New Moon in Virgo teaches us Sovereignty & a Mantra for each Sun Sign. The Archetypal Virgin Speaks.

by Monika Carless | Aug 29, 2019 | Musings

The new/dark moon enters Virgo on August 30th as do the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars. This intense relationship between moon, sun, and planets does not end there. Chiron, Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, and Saturn are currently in Retrograde. You may be feeling this...

In case you missed the memo, August has been emotionally intense and there’s more to come! To recap this month: Mercury was stationed direct on August 1st, with a shadow of its retrograde just ending, and I don’t know about you, but I’m still fending off all kinds of...

A Sacred Morning Ritual that Leaves us Grounded AF.

by Monika Carless | Jul 24, 2019 | Musings

Mindful ritual is an important aspect of daily life. It is centering, and it transports our consciousness to realms of expanded possibility. Many spiritual traditions emphasize ritual—it is a matter of connection to what powers us, inside out. As far as a morning...

A Quickie Survival Guide to the Full Moon/Eclipse in Capricorn

by Monika Carless | Jul 16, 2019 | Musings

*The partial lunar eclipse, the last lunar eclipse of 2019, will be visible from Australia, Africa, South America, most of Europe, and Asia, and the very eastern and southern parts of North America on July 16 -17, 2019. We are on a constant journey of falling apart...

2 Dark Moons, 2 Eclipses, Sun in Leo Plus “You Know Who” in Retrograde.

by Monika Carless | Jun 30, 2019 | Musings

When’s the new moon? There’s an eclipse? What sun sign are we in? Is it Mercury retrograde again? These are the questions I receive daily from my tribe. It’s so much easier to follow the natural cycles of the cosmos when we don’t have to search for each bit of...

Over the last five years I have been exploring Ero Over the last five years I have been exploring Eros and sexuality from a different viewpoint than any other time of my life. Because of various circumstances which I will discuss in an upcoming article, I have been mainly, but not exclusively, celibate. Celibacy has been a surprise in many ways - one of the most interesting has been the emotional and physical space to play with Eros as an initiation. I was born under the Balsamic Moon. Say what you will about one’s personal astrology influencing the evolving psyche (not everyone believes in the connection), I have discovered that the archetypal energy of the moon I was born under has mirrored much of my erotic journey. Sex and Eros has always been deeply spiritual for me, a transformation felt in my bones… but I also sometimes abandoned my boundaries when wanting to feel something beyond my physical body. Frustratingly, I also seemed to move between several states of being, sometimes feeling greatly embodied, other times breaking all the rules to find myself nowhere I had intended, and other times feeling sovereign and sure of my journey. I began to wonder if my moon was my primary teacher, and the other moon phases – played supportive roles in helping me understand the full spiral of living a life of Eros. This share is part of what I came up with. I’d love to read your thoughts and experiences.

These traditions play an important part in how we These traditions play an important part in how we feel within our home.

Small yet intentional practices bring us closer to the indwelling spirit or guardian of our space.

I can say through years long personal experience through every home I've lived in that the relationship with the guardian creates a deep heartwarming energy to feel safe in.

Herbs:
Mugwort for prophetic dreams, protection against the evil eye
Rosemary: protection, peaceful sleep
Yarrow: preventing negativity, energetic shield
St. John's Wort: clearing the air and protecting the home from disaster

Blessed be, Witches!

Eclipses create such powerful imagery, reflecting Eclipses create such powerful imagery, reflecting the initiation, descent, the excavation and the rising of whatever quest we are on individually and collectively.

I hope that the Leo Sun is warming the path you are on. This is an evocative time, Leo Season, where we can be more in touch with our heart and heart-centered living. 

We feel the eclipse, not only do we see it - it isn't a one day event but a story that weaves itself through us recalling past eclipses, solidifying wisdom, asking questions, providing answers. An eclipse is as much a living thing as you and I. 

Blessed be.

Eclipse Season this Spring took me down an unexpec Eclipse Season this Spring took me down an unexpected road in ways I could not have anticipated. Losses, (a friendship, health, direction, inspiration) I stand at the feet of the Goddesses grateful that this autumnal eclipse season has brought clarity (some) while opening my heart and mind to new possibilities. I still mourn that friendship, though. It was an honor to be in that sphere.

What's been true for you Beloved? This portal feels quick and decisive.

One of the many gifts of exploring my mother wound One of the many gifts of exploring my mother wound has been to see life through my mother's eyes, and to imagine her fully as a human being on her own path. To let go of my expectations of her was part of the reconciliation that happened in my heart. Since my mother's passing we have become much closer, ironically, because the physical distance has made room for my taking things less personally.
