FULL MOON Blessings: RELEASING – REALISING - CREATING

Aquarian Goddess pours wisdom under the light of the Full Moon

FULL MOON in AQUARIUS

Have you been feeling a bit sluggish or groggy lately?  Also waking up tired as your dreamtime has been very active?  I must admit it has been hard to drag myself out of bed the past couple of mornings, and a few of my friends have been feeling the same way.  ‘Tis the Full Moon my lovelies.  Stay grounded, stay hydrated as there are some powerful energies around.

As always, Full Moons are a culmination of the previous four weeks, look back and see how much happened over the past month.  Then let it go.  Full Moons are about letting go, clearing your energy, then resting before the next New Moon.

Full Moons bring emotions to the surface, so if you are feeling super-sensitive treat yourself kindly, and be kind to others who may be feeling sensitive but don’t understand why.  Meditate, journal, talk to a good friend, walk in Nature, do whatever your nervous system needs to stay calm and grounded.

Some clients have expressed concern that they feel they are losing their intuitive gifts, that they cannot see the future or download from Spirit as clearly as they did before.  Please be assured that you haven’t lost your skills, your physical body has had a lot to deal with this year with all the solar flares and other energetic pressures.  There are times when it’s more important to sort out your physical wellbeing and your 3D life.  Spirit will ‘rest’ you whilst things get sorted, it will all return when Spirit knows that you are ready.

Also, no-one can predict the future that well at the moment, how can they?  We’re all in the process of creating a brand new reality, a new earth, rebuilding humanity, most of which is unknown.

You just need to ease up on yourself and take life day by day, staying attuned, being open to receiving and allowing yourself to be guided, step by step in the right direction.  Pay attention to your dreams though and write them down.

Saturn (the Taskmaster, Lord of Karma) is retrograde for the next few months and can help with letting go. 

Saturn will bring you face to face with issues that need resolving, help you to reset your boundaries, help you to be honest with yourself and strengthen your self-discipline, your self-sufficiency, sticking to a routine or plan towards your goals including personal goals such as health and wellbeing.  

Whatever is weak will be removed, it has no place in your future.  You will need discipline to create your new life and there’s no rush, remember everything is unfolding in the right direction over the next couple of years if you put the work in. 

Saturn always rewards those that do the work.  Try not to get frustrated if projects seem to be going slower than you would like, trust the process, be patient and carry on. 

The Lunar nodes - they show us where need to grow - start an eighteen month journey through Leo and Aquarius (fire and air), encouraging us to unite and create the new world together.  You don’t have to try and do it on your own, who can you collaborate with?  Who can you gather around you to inspire each other?  Why not start an inspiration and collaboration circle?  The point is to create something together that will benefit others, the planet, our global family and beyond.

This Full Moon is a beneficial one as on 29^th June the Sun and Jupiter align creating what some astrologers describe as ‘The Day of Miracles’.  A great day to showcase your gifts and talents to the world.  Gather your tribe/community around you and keep innovating together, Aquarius is all about innovating and flying your unique flag despite whatever is going on.  You no longer need anyone’s approval to be who you are.  Ask yourself;

~ What wants to expand through me now?

~ What does my heart want me to express?

Keep a notepad handy wherever you go as you could receive downloads during the day (I often get mine when I’m doing the housework!).

Leo invites you to own your sovereignty, to step up as a leader.  The Lions Gate is open and will peak on the 8^th August.  (I will share a Blog post about that in a couple of days).  As soon as you let go, you create space to step forward confidently and become the leader of your life.  Our world needs leaders, creators, artists, musicians and practical folk to come together and create a beautiful new foundation for humanity.

This is a powerful Moon that is like the opener to Eclipse season which starts in two weeks.  Therefore, this Full Moon may bring something to light, something may cause a quick change, something may end and something may start.  Stay flexible and make yourself a priority.  You won’t lose out, anything that changes is making space for something better that the Universe has already lined up for you.  Whatever you release the Universe has something better waiting in the wings to return to you tenfold.

LAMMAS/LUGHNASADH

August 1^st is the pagan celebration of Lammas aka Lughnasadh, which falls between Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox.  Lammas is the time of year when the Goddess takes on the aspects of the Harvest Mother. The Earth is fruitful and abundant, crops are bountiful, however, the Harvest Mother knows that the cold months are coming, and encourages us to begin gathering up what we can.  This is the season for harvesting corn and grain, baking bread is a lovely way to celebrate this festival.

Elly’s LAMMAS LOAF

• 3 cups Self Raising flour- ¼ cup sugar - 1 can (or bottle) Beer - ½ cup melted butter - optional herbs and flowers (I used Lemon Balm and Lavender flowers).

• Loaf tin greased. Preheat oven to 180/375 and grease your loaf tin.

• Mix dry ingredients (and optional extras), add Beer, mix well.

• Pour into greased Loaf tin. Pour melted butter over mixture. Bake for 1 hour.

• Remove from pan and cool.

Smells divine when cooking. Has a lovely crusty top and is delicious.

Note: If you are not keen on crunchy bread, mix the melted butter into mixture just before pouring into Loaf tin.

For a more savoury loaf, add herbs like Rosemary, Thyme, Basil etc instead of flowers.

The cooking process breaks down the alcoholic content and the beer is just a flavouring.

Full Moon Blessings to you all!
