I have discontinued the UK/GMT Calendars and the Hawaii HST, at least for now. I have several new projects on the burner, am back to homeschooling my son full time, am busy running both of my businesses, and I have been carrying a full client load for many months so I am cutting back on some of the free (and paid) services I've been providing for many years. Cutting off two of the calendars saves me around 15 - 18 hours a month in writing/coding/updating and as these two calendars were the least used, they didn't make it off the cutting block. I may bring them back in the future but as I'm somewhat unpredictable, it's anyone's guess. I will continue to offer the remaining 3 versions throughout 2013 and hope to start offering 2 - 3 months ahead again.

Have a blessed New Year and may 2013 be your best year yet!

With love and blessings,

Dena

Notice of upcoming leave

Aloha and many blessings for the upcoming year!

I wanted to take a moment and let my clients, (past, present, and those considering:)) know of my upcoming leave and current availability.  I am going on leave from from February 10, 2013 - April 1, 2013 and will be taking this time off from all readings, consultations, and other service work.

As of today I have the following openings remaining for Jan/Feb 2013:

1 Written Karmic Reading (Soul Path or Karmic Synastry) - this will be taken off the schedule if not booked by Jan 5th due to the 3 - 4 weeks it requires for completion.
2 Online Consultations for new astrology clients
4 Online Consultations for returning astrology clients
6 Online consultations for new or returning tarot/oracle clients

Once those openings are taken, I will begin scheduling for April 2013. Please schedule soon if you are interested in working together in the near future. I will be off all client work completely during my break, including reading & answering email (there will be a notice on the site), so please be aware that if you contact me during my break, there will be quite a wait for my response.

The Moon Rituals will be available as ususal and all physical sales from my ebay store and online shops will be remain business as usual.

With love, light, and a multitude of blessings,

Dena

I am blessed - THIS is why I work so hard and disappear so much

I am touched so deeply by a testimonial from a new client...

With love and deep appreciation of my clients,

Dena

“I cannot recommend a reading from Dena highly enough.

A totally unforeseen and unlikely stream of events had turned my life and the lives of people close to me upside down around ten years ago. In the pain and traumatic upheavals that followed, I researched and studied psychology, metaphysics, astrology, tarot and many healing modalities. I prayed, meditated, sought help through psychotherapy and past life regressions, all whilst training to practice as a coach, healer and astrologer myself, yet could still never find the peace of mind I was looking for.

During that time I also found a few people I imagined would be able to help me clarify events though personal readings. Unfortunately I was usually left feeling more hopeless than ever after these’ readings’. To be honest, I had all but given up any hope of finding any answers to why things had happened the way they did, even though I firmly believe that the Universal Intelligence always balances and that there was definitely an order to all of this even though I myself could not see it.

Then one day not long ago I came across an article on the web by Dena L Moore about the potential karmic links of Saturnand Neptune in synastry. It resonated with me immediately and I asked Dena for a consultation. Even after reading this amazingly clear and beautifully sound article, I have to admit to feeling a little sceptical about what a reading would throw up that I didn’t already know. So much of what I’d been told by other professionals just didn’t ring true to the energy surrounding this whole string of events and I had ended up feeling even worse afterwards!

I needn’t have worried. Dena set me at my ease at the beginning of the consultation. I was struck immediately by her warmth, kindness and consideration. This gentle approach made the power of what followed all the more striking as Dena trotted out reams of past life information that was breath-taking in its ability to help me join up the dots with present day circumstances.

Dena did not attempt to make predictions and I wouldn’t have wanted her to. What mattered was that since processing all the information from the reading, I am gaining the kind of peace that comes with understanding. I feel like I can relax inwardly for the first time in years. I’m not so crazy after all and there was a reason for everything. No matter what now unfolds, I feel there has been a profound healing for me and I cannot ever thank Dena enough. I will definitely be rescheduling.

This lady is mighty generous in sharing the information that comes through her and as far as I’m concerned she is a gift to the world. Thank you so much Dena!”

Venus Illuminated Fine Metaphysical Gifts - Dryad Design, Alchemy Gothic, Pepi and Co, Coventry Creations, Crystal Journey, more...we are adding hundreds of new items to our new store.

 

 

October 2012 Astrocalendars, Venus Illuminated, and...Chatter

October is going to be a month to remember, no doubt about that with Saturn and Mercury - fingers interlaced - moving into Scorpio on the 5th, Jupiter turning retro early in the month, and the looming Mercury retro (coming up November 6th, but he enters the shadow period Oct 18) urging us to prepare for the 'party' scheduled for December. Venus moves into her own sign of Libra right before Samhain so we will surely spend a lot of time thinking about our relationships at the end of the month.

I suspect many of us are quite tense - ok, I know this is true - but I feel that the underlying theme is that we are being asked to learn how to glide and land gently. If you have a crash landing, tend to the wounds but never give up your dream of learning to fly.

I will eventually get back to my intense forecasts but I'm too Neptunian at the moment...I should be more grounded by March, but I've long since learned to flow and never push it when it comes to my writing :) I have to save what energy I have for my clients right now. In the meantime, I recommend Tom Lescher's weekly video forecasts and Planet Waves with Eric Francis. These are my personal favorites...very different in approach but both call to me.

For now, I have managed to create the October US East Coast Astrocalendar and the Australia East Coast Astrocalendars. I apologize to everyone who uses the US West Coast, Hawaii, or the UK edition of my calendars...I simply don't have time to get them ready before the 1st, so I am offering the most popular editions. My Aussie clients and site visitors would hog-tie me if I didn't have it ready for them on time (just kidding, but there is some pressure there, lol) - I love that I'm so loved Down Under :)  I will be back on track for November.

I also wanted to announce that the new Venus Illuminated site is now, finally, being built and rapidly at that. Everyone who knows me well knows that I think I am 10 people rolled into one and I think I can accomplish things anyone else would consider insane...this is my super Venus/Jupiter/Moon in the 1st, lol. I promised the new site, what, 2 years ago???  Instead I cracked down and finally wrote the Saturn-Neptune book, Dangerous Love, Sacred Love and THAT was due in 2010 or something like that? I don't remember!  Irfan is doing a fantastic job (thank you!) and keeping busy adding hundreds of new items to the site so check back often to see what is available...we are expanding and adding 3 new jewelry lines over the next few months, including the Sweet Romance line, Nebula Jewelry, and bringing back Dryad Design as they've sold off to a new vendor (lucky for all of us who absolutely love Dryad Design jewelry and statuary, myself included!). I'm mulling over a few other new lines but I will wait for Spirit to move me on those. The old site and the eBay store will continue to function as always, but I will eventually integrate the new Venus Illuminated with the old, to make a sort of Super Venus store, with so many high-quality beauties to select from that Libras will spend hours just looking, unable to make up their minds...this is why I started Venus Illuminated in the first place back in 2002, because there were so many things I loved but I could never possibly personally own them or keep them for myself...I HAD to share it all with others. Venus will love the new Super Venus store built in her honor...and I love her :)

Have a blessed Full Moon!

Love, light, and blessings,

Dena

Dangerous Love, Sacred Love - 4 day sale

Aloha...just a brief update to announce that Dangerous Love, Sacred Love is on sale through August 22, 2012. Get a great deal, gain new never-seen-before insight into Saturn and Neptune and help me fund my rapidly upcoming trip to Singapore. This trip marks the beginning of a new (top-secret, lol) astrology project as well as a new life for me.

Visit the Dangerous Love, Sacred Love website to learn more or to place an order. Valid on the 24 hour email delivery option only (that means that I personally send you the PDF version of the book via email).

The book's latest review:

I got to learn about Dena's work when I was looking for some information on Saturn, that led me to her website, and I got very interested in her presentation of the various aspects of Astrology.
Her knowledge is impressive, and she is very gifted at communicating it in a very inspiring way.
I knew Dena was working on a book about Saturn-Neptune contacts, and I could not wait to read about it.

Well, I love LOVE her book !!!

I have never read such a deep and caring analysis of Saturn-Neptune in synastry.Dena brings you to a new level at understanding the challenging and complex dynamic of those 2 planets.
Her wisdom combined with her insightful awareness of the subtle energies of the human soul makes her book even more valuable than if it was just another study on Saturn-Neptune.

A real feast for those interested in learning more about themselves and their relationships, or for those looking to deepen their knowledge on Astrology.

It certainly did give me both !
Thank you Dena :)

August 2012 New Moon in Leo Rituals - August 17 - 18, 2012

Aloha...I hope everyone is enjoying the astrological roller coaster - pretty wild, isn't it? I'm personally breathing a tiny bit easier since Mercury has turned direct, but we are in the storm until the 14th so don't expect smooth sailing. I'm still recovering from my nasty bout with pneumonia earlier this year but making good progress - still not enough energy to devote to my forecasts or the 2nd Saturn-Neptune book, but keeping my fingers crossed for the upcoming months :)

The Moon darkens in Leo this month  - 25'08 degrees - in the Arabic Moon Mansion 12. This Mansion is about rectifying mistakes and starting out fresh -how many of us need this right now?  I've chosen the Integration and Reconsideration Ritual as my first choice and Developing Inner Peace as the alternative for this energy.

The Integration and Reconsideration Ritual will help us to understand how our past mistakes have helped shape who we are now and integrate the energy into our current life. As we come to an understanding and acceptance, we will release any inner tension surrounding our past mistakes and free ourselves to develop a more positive future.

The Developing Inner Peace Ritual will help us accept and love ourselves for who we are and enable us to take those steps necessary to develop inner peace with ourselves...as we become more self-loving we will be able to feel more compassion toward others and shine brighter than ever.


With love, light, and unfolding blessings,

Dena

PS - It's time to breathe in rhythm as One...let's raise the vibration together :)

August Full Moon in Aquarius Rituals - August 1 - 2, 2012

The Moon will grow full in the sign of Aquarius, reaching full illumination at 10'15 degrees of Aquarius in Arabic Moon Mansion 25 - the mansion of the Rebel. I love the energy in this mansion...somehow I picture the Fool and the Tower combined, or perhaps the Fool dancing a jig on the ramparts even as the Tower crumbles. Is he being foolish or is he simply wise enough to know that we shouldn't fight fate?

The Full Moon Rituals (for the first full moon of the month - yes, there are two in August 2012!) are available. My first selection is the Gaining Strength Ritual. This ritual is for increasing our faith in our abilities, gaining strength of personal conviction, and being open enough to put our ideas out into the public.

My alternative selection for the first full moon in August 2012 is the Uranian Flow Ritual (with the 3 of Wands). This Full Moon in Aquarius Ritual is a 3 day ritual. Combining the Uranian energy of this Full Moon in Aquarius with the power of the tarot will enable us to reach further, gain deeper insight, spark our creativity, and liberate ourselves from outdated beliefs, circumstances, and associations.

The August New Moon Rituals are also ready now. The first selection is the Integration & Reconsideration Ritual. This New Moon in Leo Ritual will help us to understand how our past mistakes have helped shape who we are now and integrate the energy into our current life. As we come to an understanding and acceptance, we will release any inner tension surrounding our past mistakes and free ourselves to develop a more positive future.

My alternative selection is the Developing Inner Peace Ritual. This New Moon in Leo ritual will help us accept and love ourselves for who we are and enable us to take those steps necessary to develop inner peace with ourselves...as we become more self-loving we will be able to feel more compassion toward others and shine brighter than ever.

I will post the 2nd full moon rituals for August once the 1st one has passed.

Blessings,

Dena

New drawing! To be held September 30, 2012

New drawing! To be held September 30, 2012

I will be in Singapore for 3 weeks in September doing research for a future astro-project...I already have my plane ticket but as time grows closer I find myself struggling to save anything toward accommodation while there. As some of you may know, I was very ill for weeks earlier this year with pneumonia and I am working hard to get back on track with my client load and writing schedule...but I am still not able to do as much as I used to!  I am reaching out to my readers, friends, and clients for any help you may be able to give me at this time. I only have 30 days left to finalize my travel itinerary. In return, I am offering a drawing to be held for everyone who donates.

There will be two drawings held. For everyone who donates $1 - $4 I am offering a drawing for a one month subscription to the Moon Ritual Newsletter (all 4 rituals) or 3 votive candles. For everyone who donates $5+, they will be entered in the bigger drawing below.

The drawing for all donations over $5 will be for a box of 18 reiki charged candle votives, to be shipped anywhere in the world free of charge. You can mix and match the candles and select any variety of the votives you like. These are my favorite manifestation reiki candles and I've been using them (and selling them!) for over 10 years now.  The value is approximately $35 - $45 (including shipping).  If you prefer a reading or jewelry instead, I am also offering a 30 minute astro-tarot consultation or any jewelry item I carry (valued up to $45). 

If donations reach the $500 level, I will have my children randomly select 3 email addresses from a jar in both drawing categories. If donations fall below $500, we will select one winner in each drawing category. Those who donate $20+ will be entered in both drawings. You may enter as many times as you like by making another donation in any amount.

To register for the drawing and to donate to help me pay for accommodation in Singapore, please donate any amount by clicking the button below.  I will update the totals received weekly when I post the Karma scopes. Thanks so much for making this a possibility for me.

Also, if you live in Singapore or are willing to travel to Singapore in December and would like to be of assistance to me, please contact me directly at Dena@throughnightsfire.com. I will not publicly divulge the details here but you do not need to know astrology. Local knowledge of the area is preferred and I would only require 1 - 2 hours of your time in person. Volunteers are welcome but payment is also a possibility. I am in need of two interested individuals.

Early reviews for Dangerous Love, Sacred Love

I'm sharing early reviews for my work, Dangerous Love, Sacred Love, now available in print form and soon available on Amazon and in the book stores. As my work with my clients is exceptionally personal and spiritually intimate, names are withheld and the current comments are directly to me, which I've taken as email excerpts (with permission :))

 

 

Hi Dena,

I have read the book a couple of times: there is some lovely material in there for readers to assimilate, which I have not seen anywhere else. What you convey in terms of the impact the relationship has on both parties is comforting, romantic and empowering and helps enormously with understanding/moving on to a better place and just accepting that these loves are so special and precious. I have certainly grown spiritually since being involved in this heavy aspect. There is great sadness and futility to these relationships which I know time will ease and help understand the important lessons - your work helps reinforce that beautifully.

I feel I have properly moved on now and since reading your book, have been feeling a lot of sadness and emptiness which comes in the form of acceptance, which is a new feeling emerging. All memories seem to be fading now but I take away the gift of growth and unconditional love from this man, who I will always love and cherish for guiding me at an important time in my life.

A big heartfelt thank you for the help and guidance you have offered in helping to navigate my way through this secret amorphous love affair. No one understands better than you and I truly believe your book will help many in the same position.

“Dangerous Love, Sacred Love” is a beautifully crafted work that provides comfort, honesty and understanding for those who find themselves in a similar situation and seeking answers.

JM, New Zealand

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Went back and re-read your book last night after seeing your Saturn Neptune comments below. People in these relationships should use this like a cookbook--the only one in existence.

You probably recall my telling you for instance that ___  likely had Borderline Personality Disorder (well, not likely--he does have it), and your book describes aspects of that perfectly where it talks about the Neptune abandonment fears, childhood damage leading to behavior, wanting to lean on someone else (Saturn--me!), stopping/restarting the relationship, etc. 

As said before, the book hits everything right on the head with diamond precision and I hope your readers know that!

Neptune: The Development of an Enigma

Neptune – His Mythology & Astrology

The Development of an Enigma

 “All was obscure at first, darkness in darkness, an endless ocean…”[1]

In the beginning there was nothing but water; the vast primal sea gave birth to all.[2] This is the chaos, the undifferentiated dark water, from which Gaia herself emerged and the wild kingdom Neptune eventually inherited – or stole, alongside his brothers Jupiter and Pluto - from his father, Saturn. Like the ocean itself (and the entire water cycle), Neptune is impossible to fully contain or to describe with any clear sense of who or what he is. We all have our theories and research and opinions, but in reality we are as clueless about Neptune as we are about what truly lurks deep in the depths of the sea. Like many before me, I will try to shine a light down into the darkness of the deep waters and share oceanic treasures…and possibly a sea monster or two.

There are conflicting views regarding Neptune’s background and how he came to be associated with the ocean, earthquakes, and especially horses. What is generally agreed upon is that over the centuries the Roman god Neptune became closely associated with the Greek god Poseidon to such an extent that the names are often used interchangeably; yet, the conflict in origin afflicts both gods. Some sources say that Neptune was not a sea god at all originally but rather a Roman god of fresh water and springs; they use this view to explain why his festival, Neptunalia, was held in summertime, in July, as water was scarce and offerings were made to assuage the shortages.[3] The writers who express this vision of Neptune’s origin generally draw the conclusion that Neptune became associated with the ocean and Poseidon during the Roman expansion as commerce by water grew rapidly in importance. According to C. Scott Littleton, Neptune became the Lord of the Sea through identification with Poseidon as early as 4 B.C.E as he first appeared on coins holding the trident, which he considers to be a main symbol of Poseidon, at that time.[4] However, this is clearly in error as Virgil wrote about Neptune as the oceanic lord in The Aeneid[5] in 19 B.C.E:

Meantime imperial Neptune heard the sound
Of raging billows breaking on the ground.
Displeas'd, and fearing for his wat'ry reign,
He rear'd his awful head above the main,
Serene in majesty; then roll'd his eyes
Around the space of earth, and seas, and skies.
He saw the Trojan fleet dispers'd, distress'd,
By stormy winds and wintry heav'n oppress'd.
Full well the god his sister's envy knew,
And what her aims and what her arts pursue.
He summon'd Eurus and the western blast,
And first an angry glance on both he cast;
Then thus rebuk'd: "Audacious winds! from whence
This bold attempt, this rebel insolence?
Is it for you to ravage seas and land,
Unauthoriz'd by my supreme command?
To raise such mountains on the troubled main?
Whom I- but first 't is fit the billows to restrain;
And then you shall be taught obedience to my reign.
Hence! to your lord my royal mandate bear-
The realms of ocean and the fields of air
Are mine, not his. By fatal lot to me
The liquid empire fell, and trident of the sea.

The conflicting information surrounding both Neptune and Poseidon is not surprising as we are discussing nebulous, mysterious water energy; however, if Virgil was already writing about Neptune as the supreme command of the sea in 19 B.C.E, Neptune was already associated with the “trident of the sea” by 4 B.C.E even if he first appeared on coins at that time holding a trident.  The view that Rome copied Greek mythology is so wide-spread that few appear to question the belief; however, I do question this conclusion and have come to one of my own, which I will share here. While I do not doubt that Neptune and Poseidon became closely affiliated over the centuries, and indeed, I believe that Neptune and Poseidon are actually only two faces of many of the same one deity who was worshipped long before the development of Ancient Greece and Rome, it seems likely to me that the Roman entity called Neptune is directly linked...
