Yes, it’s a fabulous time for a new beginning – any New Moon is good but a strong Solar Eclipse in the fertile sign of Kataka & with Uranus favourably aspecting is awesome.  So, go for it, name your resolution in the comments & experience the joy of a public avowal.

Mine is in the 6th house so i am determined to set aside time for proper meditation & a (most of the time) pre-bed ritual so that I’m  not lying there with my mind abuzz. So will master my circadian and other rhythms to zap my brainwaves into Theta or whatever fast. ie: more serenity & all. And to joyously develop better admin systems.

And yours???

An Aqua Moonwane applies now & through till early A.M. Sunday in the Southern Hemisphere/Saturday in the Northern World. It’s right this moment conjoining the North Node in Aquarius & then later, Neptune, Chiron & Jupiter. Intense hi-Qi meditation & awareness possibilities – fab for any kind of energy work from acupuncture to Feng Shui, Reiki, Homeopathy…Stupendous for dreaming. I’m going in hardcore with some Mugwort tea to enhance my nocturnal journeyings. Note; never ever do Mugwort if you have been drinking wine or similar substance. You can’t do High & Low Neptune at the same time!

And note that the Moon in Aquarius contacting Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune also sets off the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding which intensifies in July (as a counterpoint to the Eclipse Madness) and climaxes in Feb 2010 as Chiron & Neptune make a relatively rare conjunction. Again, where-ever you have Aquarius in your chart is where you’ve just gotta be ultra-New-Age re everything; it will work beautifully if you can pull if off. And where-ever you have Virgo, you embrace a sort of insane work and details ethic, for best results.

Try-try TRY to do some dream-meditation style trip in the next few days…Epsom salts bath, lavender oil, mugwort or mint tea and a big pad or your Book of Shadows beside the bed to record the lurid/lucid resulting insights & images!

In fact, let’s have a dream comp – Thursday Night, no matter where you are  in the world, is SO powerful for dreamwork…

Crab Moon

The Moon loves to be in the sign of Cancer, sign of her rulership…Despite all the Full Moonie merde the next few days one can be productively emo, sooky goo-goo with loved ones/loyal confidantes and deeply aware. Think also herbal Zen Hippy as way to cope with the intensifying of the Saturn-Uranus opposition. Actually, i just thought of this; the combo of Mars conjunct Neptune and the Cancerian Moon and Venus going retrograde etc make this the ideal weekend to practice Haute Meditation…Yes.

Download something haute-hippy and Zen Noire from Sequoia & see how far you can ramp up your meditation et al. Saggos will naturally astral travel the furtherest whilst Leos will be upgraded to connecting with a supreme being the most quickly, because the SB feels Leo can relate to the vagaries of Supreme Beinghood. The Cancerian Moon is also always heaven for sharing fave fairy tales and myths with children…

Moonflower (or how the Moonhorses came to Japan)…is the sweetest little fairy tale…

“Hundreds of years before the Europeans developed rubber, the Aztecs mixed the juice of moonflower with tree latex to produce an elastic they made into rubber bands, hammers, and balls for a ritual game. A relative of the morning glory, moonflowert has its cousin’s heart-shaped leaves and vining habit, but instead of greeting the Sun, like the morning glory does, the flowers of this Moon plant open in late afternoon and stay open for one night, which makes them wonderful in Moon gardens. They are pollinated by moths drawn to their scent, which humans can smell too, if they have the genes for it (not everyone can perceive the scent of some white flowers).  The presence of moths in turn can attract bats, Hekate’s friends. Try inhaling the scent of moonflowers before doing divination or before going to bed in order to produce prophetic dreams…”  From here…

Fascinating re how some peeps don’t have the genes to smell some white flowers???  But i would be wary re even copping a whiff of Moonflower now, having read this…from here

“…Highly toxic! WARNING! These are some of the names for Datura: Jimson Weed, Moonflower, Devil’s Weed, Hell’s Bells. Devil’s Cucumber, Thorn-Apple, Devil’s Trumpet, Pricklyburr…”

Does anyone know about this stuff??

It would be so anti-Saturn-in-Virgo/Pluto in Cap to addle one’s brains sniffing Moonflower scent in the garden under the nearly-Full Cancerian Moon…BUT then again, you can buy Moonflower body wash (?!) on Amazon…“…Used as a psychedelic in nordic traditions, the moonflower helps you find refuge. It is a blue escape, in the cold clear waters. with notes of boronia, freesia, apple blossom and birch, moonflower lit in the background will cause a welcome moment of recluse….”

But I am serious about the meditation though; most amazing weekend for it in yonks & may even help with the retro-Venus romantic nostalgia, if it strikes.

And another ancient Moon myth; the Babylon Moon God – Sin.

Honouring Jupiter

From The Spell Of Rosette

What do the planets say?

“Good question. I’ve been under Saturn transits all year, of course, so hard work and slow progress is natural right now. But Jupiter approaches my Mars opposition Venus and squares the south lunar node. ”

Say it in a way that makes sense to me?

“I get the feeling of adventure, expansion and something to do with the past or someone from the past. Jupiter is honoured by being open to new possibilities and in return he expands the mind through higher learning, the body through travel and the spirit through deeper meditation and magic.”
