Dear Moon Muser, There is alot going on OUT THERE. Stay within this New Moon(th). Be guided by Light. Find solace in the dark. We are nearing the change (Spring Equinox-N. hemisphere + Fall Equinox-S. hemisphere.) Never forget who you are. Count your blessings. (Be Corny) ...and sing. You are everything and nothing.
Circe or ‘witch’ was a fate spinner and a weaver of the destinies of men. She was called ‘The Goddess who commanded all the lights of heaven’ by Pliny an ancient philosopher. Circe lived as a witch and a weaver in a little stone cottage by the sea where she concocted magical herbal potions to ensnare sailors shipwrecked near her shores, turning the nastiest ones into swine.
Here on PaganSquare, 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!
Yellow Butterfly Keyword: Sweet Meaning: Today you are taking a different path, one that is lighter and truer to your heart’s goal. Reversed: You are chasing dreams, not reality.
Mama Moon enters the Mutable, Water sign of Pisces on Jan. 9 at 11:44 am Pacific time until Jan. 12.
During this Moon-Time catch a break! This may involve some careful tending of friends (or plants) in need, but growth IS happening. Feel into things with your Super-Piscean Moon-Powers and 3rd Eye Sense it out cause you’ll find that it’s all fixable. Empathy wins the day.
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.
