There’s a whole lot going on in August, starting with the celebration of Lammas/Lughnassadh today, coinciding with the first of two supermoons this month. You can hear my take on tonight’s lovely Corn Moon/Full Sturgeon Moon on my minipod, courtesy of “Women Who Howl at the Moon.” Tonight should give you something to howl about for sure! While you’re at it, why not practicing some gratitude for any bounty you’ve enjoyed recently in your life? I certainly count friends, loved ones, and pets as riches you just can’t put a price tag on. Light an orange candle for enthusiasm and rekindling optimism and let them know you care—with a simple gesture, a quick note, or a lovingly prepared meal from scratch this evening. It’s something we could all stand to do a bit more of, myself included. And when it comes to yourself, be sure to practice some self-love, too.
It’s the Full Moon in Aquarius and Lunar Lammas today, August 3 at 8:59 AM Pacific Time. Time to tune into Mama Moon and the far reaches of the star in a collective group hug…or not! The energy during this Full Moon may give you a bit of a breather from all the intensity of the past few months, but it may also present you with an unexpected choice; do I continue pouring everything into the group energy around me or do I take a much needed time out? (Uranus squares the Leo/Aquarius axis).
I have a video reading for you to enjoy with a focus on Goddess Energy and Healing plus some astrological tidbits too.
As I pull cards for you I'm happy to say I'll soon have a third oracle card deck to add to the mix: The Goddess Zodiac Oracle Deck coming out in Spring, 2020.
Time now to go deep. Relax. Take some breaths. Choose a card then scroll down for the REVEAL.
