Here on the Witches & Pagans blog, I’ll be sharing a spirit animal painting and message from my Elfin Ally Oracle Deck picked especially for the zodiac sign that Mama Moon is currently transiting. Enjoy!
Keyword: Noble Meaning: Romance is in the air; succumb to it, if you dare. Reversed: A missed opportunity is not worth tears.
Mama Moon enters the Mutable, Fire sign of Sagittarius on Jan. 2 at 12:58 am Pacific time until Jan. 4.
During this Balsamic, Compost, Waning Moon-Time as we watch her rise before Dawn we begin to wind down and release in preparation for the New Moon on Jan. 5 in Capricorn.
Mama Moon enters the pioneering, soldier-on sign of Aries on Dec. 15 at 4:44 pm pacific time until Dec. 18.
As we begin our march toward the big transition time-of-year, either the longest, darkest day (in the northern hemisphere) or the the shortest, brightest day (southern hemisphere), so too does our very being begin to prepare on a Moon-Level ie. on an emotional, comfort level.
Mama Moon enters the dreamy, creative sign of Pisces on Dec. 13 at 4:40 am pacific time until Dec. 15.
This is a SPROUT MOON-TIME so whatever intention you set at the New Moon, it now begins to sprout. This is a quarter moon phase so watch for her lovely face to rise in the sky in the late afternoon, early evening.
If there’s some lofty goal you’ve set yourself this moonth, now’s a good time to try faking it until you make it, as the saying goes. Mercury has just entered Sagittarius so we’ve got even more help seeing the BIG PICTURE.
On a spiritual note, how can your great work be of service to humanity? Think BIG, dear peeps ‘cause this is SAG SEASON and she digs it!
Pisces Elfin Ally: Whale - Ocean Call* Whale Oracle Card: There is a fine balance needed to move forward. You’ve got this! Oracle Card Reversed: Debt looms so check your savings and hang tight.
