Notice regarding September 2013 New Moon Rituals

Just dropping a note regarding the upcoming September 2013 New Moon on September 5, 2013 and the ritual downloads...I will be out of the country for this New Moon (which falls on my birthday and will feature prominently in my Solar return :))  I will not have internet access from noon (US EDT) on September 3rd until September 7th...it may be best to order prior to September 3rd if you want to use the ritual(s) and tend to have trouble with the instant download.

If you purchase and fail to click through immediately to receive the ritual, I will not be able to send it to you until September 7th, which is too late. If this happens, you can elect to receive the Full Moon ritual instead or I can issue a refund. I have also posted a note on the New Moon Page (but an unbelievable number of people order and never read a word I write on the page)...

The New Moon Rituals as well as the September 2013 Astrocalendars are already available.

Thanks so much for your patience and understanding.

Love, light, and blessings,

Dena

Saturn – Osiris – Green Man Transformation & Rebirth Ritual - August 2013 Full Moon in Aquarius

 Saturn is a powerful energy in my life, being stationary retrograde and the handle of my bucket chart. He dominates from the 8th house and co-rules my MC with the Moon and Pluto (my Saturn/Pluto midpoint is exactly the degree of my MC) and...rules my 4th house. The intricacies of his energy in my chart and life never fail to surprise me. (see my natal chart here). During Saturn's recent station direct (right on top of my natal Moon), I was struck with the urge to write a new ritual in his honor...the results are my latest ritual, Saturn - Osiris - Green Man Transformation and Rebirth Ritual.

The introduction follows:


While many consider Uranus as the planet of change and the ruler of Aquarius, Saturn is the potent ancient planetary ruler of the sign and is the energy we all use to make permanent, solid changes in our lives. Uranus may spark us with inspiration and jolt us out of stagnation, but Saturn is what grounds us and allows us to build (or rebuild) our lives once Uranus shakes us free – strangely enough, Uranus is the god who buried all of his children alive but now is the energy bringing sudden change. Perhaps it is the ‘outside’ energy – beyond our boundaries – that jolts us, as Uranus is so foreign and detached from what it means to be human and alive on Gaia.

 Saturn can be considered the cornerstone of life on our planet, which is why various religions worship him…some even consider Saturn as YHWH – the God of the Abrahamic religions. Saturn is, and has always been, a stronger, more accessible energy than his father, Uranus, within the human psyche. As Ouranos (Uranus), the sky, lay around the earth, he begat many ‘children’ but refused to let them be born out of the earth. This stretched and strained Gaia, who turned to her buried-alive children seeking relief. Saturn was the only child willing to do the deed and, as he dismembered his father with the sickle Gaia gave him, he severed the sky from the earth, separating the male and female principle with one sharp blow and ascending as the primary god, the ruler of Sky, Earth, and Sea. Saturn was the first male deity to concern himself with mortals and worldly concerns.  If we consider the mythology we may realize that Saturn’s actions against his father brought about the most significant, longest-lasting change than any other action in the mythological history of the Earth.

Saturn, our strict father, is very much his mother Gaia’s child - he is, and always has been, an agricultural god. Although he reigned over the sky and sea as well as the earth, the earth is where he truly feels at home, the earth from which he was born. The Egyptian God Osiris is said to be the planet Saturn and I personally connect both Osiris and the Green Man to Saturn – all are symbols of rebirth and transformation. All three are connected to the underworld as well as the fertile vegetative growth on Earth. All three are symbols of the cycle of life – death – rebirth and the passage of time.  For this ritual, you may attune to any or all of the three gods, depending on your personal path, belief system, and intuition.

In other news, it's been a CRAZY busy and unsettled month...I am preparing to start on the August Calendars tomorrow but they may be late this month. Hope not!

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
