New Moon Aquarius by Flavia – 24 January 2020
As the New Moon enters Aquarius a new season begins. It is not business as usual, especially, as the moon squares Uranus in Taurus. This is significant because Uranus, always associated with electric and sudden unapologetic and uncompromising disruptions, is Aquarius own ruler. A square is not an opposition, but rather conflicting dynamics, a challenge or just competing priorities, depending on the specific planets involved. Uranus is in the house of Venus and the new moon is pulling the energy of the house of Uranus. They are both in fixed houses as well. So the positions will be entrenched. Uranus in Taurus therefore talks about how old values and self- worth will compete with the vision of a new future as it is being activated by the New Moon in Aquarius.
The Animals card with the guidance of St. Francis of Assisi is pointing to a new future based on a community of charity, and of like-minded people who are socially conscious and with a common purpose. Our own growth will come from friends and associates. The fixed position is challenged by instability and constant change. We are now interested in groups and organizations that look beyond the self to realize something greater that was previously possible.
Moreover, Aquarius cold and distant qualities will give us a bit of a break from the earthly intensity of the previous weeks and months. The air element that is the character of Aquarius, will bring a cerebral influence in our decision-making process. We will be serious about ideas. Futuristic plans will now dominate our way of thinking, propelling us to a new phase. New priorities will also signify a new set of activities. St. Francis left his own family background to set up a new community based on a progressive set of dynamics, and as such he is the powerful influence of a New Moon that will impact our lives for the next month and beyond.

Moon Musings by Flavia – 27 December 2019
The Angel of Serenity is an Angel of Creation. We are at the moment of a powerful solar eclipse and standing between two eclipses. A solar eclipse in Capricorn and a lunar eclipse in Cancer, happening in January. They are concluding a series of eclipses we have been dealing with the last couple of years. So it’s time to wrap up and bring a culmination to a point. At this stage of structures collapsing and others starting to being built, we have to stay centered amid the chaos, calm and serene. We have the strength within ourselves to resolve problems and find solutions to conflict. Serenity is this angel’s gift as a personal resource to us. The next six months will be eventful and dynamic, so it’s crucial that we start the new moon and enter the new year primarily secure in ourselves, and that we remain calm, peaceful and kind. This is the way to creating something better than what was there before, something better for us and others. With the gift of serenity we have the opportunity to be fruitful in our lives. Our angel guides are protecting and blessing us with serenity.

New Moon in Sagittarius – 22 November 2019
A new moon is always a push forward. But this time the new moon is also big in blessings. And it’s spiritual. We are in the New Moon in Sagittarius. With optimism and open to new possibilities, it’s the sacred self that will guide us. While all the big planets are sitting in earth and fixed signs we are grateful for Sagittarius fire. It’s the spirit to propel us to something magnificent.
Venus will be meeting Jupiter, and both will enter ambitious but also limiting Capricorn later in the month. Their meeting in Sagittarius is significant for what we value and our beliefs are now rooted in a grand context. Mercury already moving ahead in Scorpio makes for a focused and powerful energy that is coming to push forwards and outwards into the world. The muddled sense of lack of direction permeating the last few weeks is replaced by a forceful desire for learning, for exploration, for achieving with others something bigger than ourselves.
Both Shekinah and Diana are spirit goddesses of the Moon energy. Sacred self is wisdom. Focused intention will bring forward gifts. Intuition is accentuated. It’s a further reminder that we have not yet left Scorpio’s feminine influence, so being strategic, calculative, passionate for what we want but also going all out with purpose, assertiveness and determination are with us. It’s a hunt and a prayer.
Sagittarius represented here by Diana will guide us to aim high and to always strive to transcend our situation, looking for justice and higher purpose according to our authentic self. On a more material level, Diana, Greek Goddess Artemis of nature and wildlife among other things, will encourage us to find our strength and mental focus by going out and making the most of the physical environment.
Love and life are everywhere outside, day and night. It’s time to think hard about our desires and go after them without fear! There is no need to hold back. The best will materialize.

Weekly Wisdom by Mirasol – 27 October 2019
This week we will look at card number 54 from the Iris Oracle Deck by Mary Elizabeth Evans. The card has an open green hand with a blue keyhole in it, and there are two different keys below the hand. Seven stars form an arch above the hand and the all-seeing eye is looking out from above the stars. The background is a heart-felt pink.
This card signifies that you might have felt lost for a while and feeling like you can not find the solution to your issues. The card asks you to hold off any big decisions until you have found peace of mind, when this occurs you will be handed the keys and the answers you are seeking for your next move.
With the new moon in Scorpio, we may feel that secrets have been withheld from us, or alternatively, we may have been keeping secrets from others. Personal integrity, feeling safe and forging boundaries from people whose presence cause energy leakage are topics heightened during this new moon cycle. Scorpio is tenacious and will be rewarded richly after her patience has taken her far, but she also needs rest and nurture. Being the occult sign of the Zodiac, use this Scorpio new moon to quietly connect with your true self, meditate in a darkened room and cocoon yourself inside your soul to stabilise and recharge.
Meditation with the card
Try this meditation with the card and take note of the message for you.
Sit down in a quiet space. Take a few deep breaths and relax.
Focus on the image of the card. Feel the radiance of the seven stars comforting your aura. Let the all-seeing eye reveal your very own secrets to yourself. Observe the open hand and the keyhole. Which key will fit with your personal quest? Let the answers flood through you, but do not let anything stick for now.
Stay in meditation for 5 to 10 minutes.
After the meditation, journal about the below questions.
What would your two keys represent?
How can you unlock your potential – or is there a need to do so at the moment?
You might want to unlock a completely new potential which is personal and secretive and not make any decisions until you feel completely certain of the answer.
Additional practice – calling in strength with Bumblebee Jasper
Bumblebee Jasper is a beautiful yellow, black and white coloured stone, formed by volcanic matter, anhydrite and hematite, and also sulphur and arsenic. The patterns are reminiscent of that of a bee, giving the stone its’ name Bumblebee Jasper. Since it is volcanic, Bumblebee Jasper has powerful earth energy which vitalises our body, mind and soul when we feel depleted and tired. It can be used on the sacral and solar plexus chakras to stimulate and release stuck and old energy we no longer need.
Bumblebee Jasper increases self-esteem and helps to accept change and to find new opportunities. It will enable you to get answers and a clear vision of what to do next, it initiates and organises a practical plan for changing your life around. Bumblebee Jasper will help you to make decisions without relying too much on emotions. Physically, Bumblebee Jasper may help with allergies, issues of the abdomen and disorders of the nervous and circulatory system.
It is also known as Eclipse stone and Fumarolic or Fumarole Jasper. The yellow colour is due to the presence of sulphur and arsenic so it is not suitable for gem elixirs. Always wash your hands after using Bumblebee Jasper.
For the healing ceremony, lie down in a comfortable place. Place the Bumblebee Jasper on your solar plexus. Imagine how the beautiful yellow colour is strengthening your whole abdomen. Sense how the yellow colour is spreading all over your body, all the way down the feet and toes, and then all the way up to your crown chakra at the top of your head. Feel how the yellow energy is creating a powerful and awakening vibration in your whole being. Stay in the supportive energy of Bumblebee Jasper and feel how your body, mind and soul are united. Note any messages you receive at this point.
Take a deep breath and say thank you to Bumblebee Jasper and its’ healing gift.
Repeat this practice as often as you wish to strengthen yourself and to find encouragement in your daily life.

New Moon Libra by Flavia – 28 September 2019
With the New Moon in Libra we are now climbing up the chart heading for the top. Angelite and Citrine can be our friends this month. They will help us to stay on track. They are healing and soothing, bringing the resplendent light they reflect to be part of us.
We took off with Aries initiating, and creating new beginnings by knowing the self, with a focus on identity. As we moved into Taurus our values and what we love started to materialize and begun to take form. In Gemini our thoughts and communication became paramount. Travelling through Cancer, and as the season begun to shape up, our home and our environment around us, gave us grounding and a foundation from where we could build. And so we are still moving through the bottom of the chart. Leo arrived full of exuberance and creativity. All things love mattered: the self became King and Queen. But calmly and steadily we reached Virgo. It was a timeline about care, mastery and preparation.
And now all of a sudden – and yet not too soon – we find ourselves in Libra, and half-way through the astrological year. We are now climbing higher in the chart with the realization that others matter. We are in relationship mode. We see ourselves in others and the people we hang out with, the groups we belong to, the friendships we make, reflect who we really are.
Angelite confirms this. We can hold, or think of, this stone as a reminder that we will find happiness and emotional expansion by staying close to those that are aligned with our values. We can join groups or travel to places where we can be with people that have similar ideas and aspirations as us. We are looking out for people we admire and those that represent our aesthetic values, beauty, history, spirituality and higher self. This will give us strength and confidence in ourselves to develop further, and grow emotionally, creatively, intellectually, and even materially. If we are having problems with health, work, substances, mental blocks or direction, and we want to address them, now it’s the right time to seek those who can help us. We are not alone. We are all reflected in each other.
And so Citrine further encourages us beyond taking practical steps to be with like-minded people, that we can draw power and energy from Citrine which shines through to be optimistic and purposeful. The self in others and the greater picture are illuminated by the New Moon in Libra.
