Pondering over life during our last Full Moon, I let the flames of our bonfire pull me in. What did I want to let go of? What did I no longer want to carry or try to figure out? With a Virgo-Sun, Gemini-Rising, Aquarius Moon astro-signature, I was born mentally made for planning, fixing, caring and organizing. Could I accept I didn't have control over the future? What if I stopped? Did that mean I was lazy? Did I dream too big and too much?
Yes, we have ownership and influence over our human and spiritual lives. We play a part in shaping the lives of others...our children and beloveds.
I was ready to let go of so much. Heavy and overwhelmed by the thought of writing everything down to throw it in the fire, I just wanted to melt and get grounded into Mother Earth. How many people over ages and ages sat together and alone gazing into a fire underneath a full moon? Because of them I am here. Hopefully my ancestors took time to acknowledge their journey and the impact of their lives. Many around the world don't even have access to electricity and water. Many are in between countries.
I want to respect and recognize the trials of those who came before me. So I must do the same for myself as a marker of all I have done in life and accomplished, making it through triumph and tragedies of my own, as we all do.
Look at all the wonder in my world and the healing, music and magic I have hopefully brought to others. I came here to serve. I came here with a message and gifts, as we all did. You my dear have already done so much, simply considered in your mind to be what we all do or what we should do. The sheer and unavoidable responsibilities of life, schedules, classes, and books read to learn about life. The grace of your morning hug desperately counted on by a child. Kindness given to strangers at the grocery store and the elderly in need of a sprinkling of compassion.
We have such power. The days we get out of bed wishing we could just rest and lay there, and let life go on without us. Times when we are so out of touch with ourselves because crisis has come calling again. But somehow and in some way we make it back again and again. We don't recognize the depth of how far we've come...all that we have accomplished, and how much we mean to others.
Don't underestimate or underrate yourself. Look at how much you've already done and you will do so much more. Look how far you've come.

We hold the power to make fire but the energy is frenetic. We have the keys to the kingdom and weigh the risks involved. It's hard to connect within solidly and stay grounded while the Sun shines in Gemini and the full moon burns free in impulsive Sagittarius. Air (Gemini) feeds fire (Sagittarius).
Also in Sagittarius, Mars the masculine planet of war, survival and action add to this combustible mix. Saturn "Father Time" rules discipline, restriction and structure making for an unsettled "out-of-whack" kind of feeling against the freedom of Sadge. We just can't touch down.
Underneath it all, watery underworld Neptune the planet of mysticism, magic, illusion and addiction creates a weird contrast of energy. We want to play hooky and be wild. Let's take a look at what the cards have to say.
☽ Ostara ~ Fertility
Full moons are for releasing but this fast and fiery energy stimulates creation at this time. Ostara or Eostre is where the word Easter came from. She's a Spring goddess of fertility. In June we come up to the half of the year. What seeds did you plant at the last new moon? Take a look at what you were ruminating on in November of last year. Review and revamp these ideas if they don't fit with how you feel now.
At the same time we are looking at how much of ourselves and our time we want to invest, and what the risks may be. Stepping out or stepping up your game may feel uncomfortable. Stepping out of who you were doesn't mean you lose intrinsic parts of yourself. In fact it might be time to step down. Decisions can be unmade. Apologies can be given to others and for yourself. Let go of outdated and controlling ways of living life. Take time to ponder. It's powerful.
Go against the grain. Take aim. The Archer demands freedom and invention, but can be reckless and impulsive. Think twice before you throw the ax... as in what you say to others, and in making big decisions. Look at the terrain. Begin to map it out.
☽ Mawu ~ Mother Earth
There is a huge love for our Mother Earth ~ Gaia Goddess in this reading. Presidential election issues appear to be a huge show. We are seeing the delusion of the system and it's causing pain and suffering. Each individual choice made like where we shop, what we buy and what we eat makes an impact. Grocery stores are creating their own organic brands because we want better.
A deep reckoning that things have to change on this planet is upon us, AND we are fearful and scared of the tactics and strategies being used on the Earth and on us. Buy organic food and plants. A reckoning comes as we fight for women's rights and planned parenthood, for the rights of animals and equality. Stay strong and vigilant. We fight with every choice, even small ones...even in the choice to stay peaceful on the road when a big percent of your fellow drivers have gone nuclear.
☽ Remember Who You Are
Archangel Michael, holds a fiery sword and flame symbolizing the unbridled and raw elemental fire of Sagittarius. What is your fire? What stirs you up? What's your secret sauce? What do you need to let go of to get it back? Have you turned to resentment rather than taking on the challenge of something new? There isn't a worksheet for forgiveness, nor is there one for getting on with it. Do any personal work you think you need to do at this time. What sabotaging personal characteristics have been on the chopping block now for awhile? Risk who you thought you were supposed to be. Yes this is the time.
Reconnect with your unique warrior free spirit. Fly your freak flag.
