New Moon in Leo

Aug 11th 2018 New moon in Leo  Partial SOLAR ECLIPSE

Leo is the fifth sign of the Zodiac and represents those born July 22 to August 22. It is considered a masculine, extroverted sign.

The majestic lion, the King of the Beasts, is Leo's symbol. Throughout history, the lion has symbolized sovereignty, rulership, and courage. "The lion's size and strength have captured human imagination since ancient times.

The fact that it is a nocturnal creature means that the lion is a symbol of authority and command over subconscious thought (as night is an ancient symbol of the subconscious - or dream states).

It's interesting that the lion is considered by many ancient cultures to be a solar animal symbol, however it is primarily a nocturnal creature, conducting its hunting activity mostly at night. Further, the lioness is considered a lunar animal.

This serves as a symbolic message of balance and sound judgment. In that the lion shares the world of both night and day, the lion bears a message of prudence to us. In other words, the lion asks us to not overdo in certain areas of our lives. Rather, keep an even mind and an overall balance in our life activities.

This new moon energy is ideal for making big decisions, big shifts with regards to work, relationships, our personal power / self worth and finishing old projects.

Time to not merely tackle but conquer areas of our life.

The ceremony below will assist with tapping into the Leo energy that will be present for creating new ways of addressing old recurring issues, and the beginning of new adventures.

New Moon Ceremony :

1.OPEN SACRED SPACE : Practice a prayer, chant, mantra, or listen to a song that invites the energies desired into your space, that of gratitude to great spirit and a connection to your spiritual teachers to assist and ensure that the greatest good for yourself and all involved will be the sole intention of this ceremony.

2. ITEMS REQUIRED: Pen , paper, and a Candle

3.DECLARING INTENTIONS: Write on a sheet of paper the intentions you would like strengthened through the energy of this new moon in Leo, focus mainly on older projects and desires you have had through out the year which for whatever reason have not fully manifested as yet, this is the time to boost those intentions with the bright conquering energy of Leo.
It is recommended to split these intentions into categories either in the order of - Personal Power, Work, Relationships , Health ... or Old projects , short term goals, longterm goals etc..
Write them in  simple forms instead of long statements or paragraphs that is easier to remember through out the day or during your meditation.

4.MEDITATION: Light the candle and place it on a table or in an area that you can be on eye level with the wick / flame. Recite within your mind each of your intentions at a time while focusing on the cleansing fire of the candle, stare at the flame until your eyes start to water (do not strain yourself if you feel like resting your eyes please do so, always important to listen to your body ) , then with your eyes closed focus on the after image in your mind of the flame for as long as you can while still reciting in your mind your intention.
This type of meditation helps with focusing and the transition of your desire from the space of the conscious mind to the sub conscious mind programmed into your being.

Do this 3 times for each item on your list or until you feel lighter and a sense of gratitude.

5.GRATITUDE - Place your hands before your heart in prayer pose and thank Great spirit for allowing this opportunity in time, for this moment to tap into the natural energy of the heavens and for allowing you to channel this energy into assisting your day to day life, claiming the promises of abundance joy and well being.

Ensure to ask that your desires will work towards your benefit and that of all involved, always seeking the greatest good for everyone.

6. INTEGRATION - Until the August Full Moon, for atleast 1 week straight try to practice this meditation exercise with focusing on your list (if you miss a day please try to start over or practice 2 times the following day). Alternative is to recite your list or meditate upon your desires 2 times everyday until the full moon of August, once as you wake and once before heading into dream time.

7. CLOSING SACRED SPACE - Thank the energies you called into the space to assist with the ceremony and setting of your intentions. Keep the paper with you until the full moon, I recommend posting it in plain sight or under your pillow to assist with the integration practice of repeating them twice everyday.

Energy of new moon present 2 days before and after the New Moon.

June Full Moon Ceremony (Full Hot Moon)

The month of June's full Moon's name is the Full Strawberry Moon. June's Full Strawberry Moon got its name because the Algonquin tribes knew it as a signal to gather ripening fruit.

It was often known as the Full Rose Moon in Europe (where strawberries aren't native). In other areas of the world as this was the moon closest to the Summer Solstice the signaling of  longer days and shorter nights it was also called the FULL HOT MOON.

The moon will be full on June 27th.

This full moon is a great time to channel the energy of manifestation, symbolic in the ripening of fruit.

What seeds have you planted since the new moon ?

How have you cared for these seeds ?

Now is the time to allow your fruits to blossom and tap into that energy with a beautiful fire ceremony (symbolic of sun's creative force ) releasing our desires to the flames, watching them rise in the air with the smoke, allowing the ashes to become one with the earth, awareness of the Great Spirits presence and provisions for us right now, and throughout the rest of our walk in mortal form.

Full Hot Moon Fire Ceremony :

1. OPEN SACRED SPACE you can use a prayer or simply set your intentions asking for your higher self/ creator to enter your space and allow all that will be done to work towards the benefit of yourself firstly and all around you.

2.Gather a  candle , sheet of paper and a pen (practice writing your intentions it can be things you desire to attract or to release).

3. Light a candle, or a small bon fire.

4. Fold your paper into an arrow (method of doing this is not important simply the paper should have a point at one end you may also place small items in the paper that are symbolic of what you seek to manifest, eg honey for sweetness of life etc..).

5. Hold this arrow above your heart, in silence thank Great spirit for the opportunity to tap into endless energies for manifestation.

6. In your mind visualise your desires / intentions as liquid gold, placed into the mold of the arrow you hold in your hand, and watch as it cools and is formed into firm unbreakable intentions.

7. Place your arrow into the fire head first and notice how all elements are involved with the transmutation of this sold paper by the fire, it becomes smoke which is connected to air elements symbolic of the mind, ashes which is connected to earth symbolic of grounding and firm foundations , as your intentions and desires rise and you observe the paper totally consumed sit in the silence for 5 mins, speaking into being all of your desires being conscious that the last element of water will be a sign that your desires are in the physical realm, this does not mean that when it rains you will have all that you desire, it means that your desires are in the physical space no longer just an intention and now is waiting for you to attract it (be it abundance, a mate, health etc.. )

8. Out the candle / allow the fire to die naturally ,close sacred space thanking the energy you called forward and being aware that all you seek is already in the wind , carried energetically to the creator.

If you receive any insights, sounds, smells, visions during this day make a note no matter how strange it may seem (you can always contact me for symbolic interpretation).

Pay attention to the weather, when next it rains be conscious they are your showers of blessings.


 Energy is present 2 days before and 2 days after new moon so you have time to practice.
