“The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door, if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.” ~ Women Who Run with the Wolves by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola-Estes
The siren call of this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse went out over a week ago with the catalyst of George Floyd’s death. The energy of this moon swelled in people’s hearts and minds and they poured into the streets claiming their beliefs, their ideas of right and wrong, their TRUTHS. This is Sagittarius and this is Eclipse energy.
Sitting near the south node, opposite Venus retrograde, and square Mars, this eclipse encourages us to purge the poisons in our systems. In Sagittarius, this means reconsidering what we, or the society we live within, holds to be true. Laws need to be revised. The consensus that we live under needs to be questioned. What we have had faith in gets investigated. Occurring opposite Venus and the Sun, this eclipse magnifies the feelings, values, and conflict that Venus has helped us get to the heart of. Square Mars and Neptune, this eclipse brings both conflict and mass movement. ~ Chani Nicholas
This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is the first of three coming (see all dates below) and through this Summer eclipse season we will be asked to face the shadow over and over again. With multiple planets in retrograde, we are being given the support to review and renew the energies that must be shifted and see the opportunities for transformation, but it is not easy to excavate the deep systemic toxicity that exists.
Sagittarius with its spiritual and philosophic approach infuses this Full Moon with expansive vision, passionate spirit, and radical need for Truth. We may find ourselves in heated debate, hiking through the forest, or deep in book stacks in the library. Sagittarius embraces all of these and can provide respite from the intensity of the eclipse.
This lunation is also a perfect time to align with the sacred energies that represent wildness, freedom, and liberation. it is time to preconceive notions of extra-ordinary; to dive deep in connection to the Goddesses that wild us, inspire us, call us. The Sagittarian Eclipse offers us the chance to expand our knowledge, our vibrations, our ideas of what makes us alive; to unmask our authenticity even if we are afraid.
You are invited to cull through your definitions, your self-imposed limits on freedom. What fits? What binds? How can you be truly free? What do you stand for and what action aligns? How can you shed the “shoulds” and embrace your yearnings – a deeper life, a full life, a sane life? Where are your portals?
All of this can be overwhelming. As Summer opens her sweet center to us, seek sanctuary in nature, in the embrace of Gaia. Allow Yemaya and the Ocean Mothers to cleanse you and carry you for a bit. Buzz with the bees and dance with the dragonflies. Make Sacred Self Care a priority.
From my heart to your heart, I send you and yours well wishes and much love.
Be well, be safe, and I hope to see you in the circles and upcoming events! Thank you for being part of our community!

“When the time comes to you at which you will be forced at last to utter the speech which has lain at the center of your soul for years, which you have, idiot-like, been saying over and over, you’ll not talk about the joy of words. I saw well why the gods do not speak to us openly, nor let us answer. Till that word can be dug out of us, why should they hear the babble that we think they need? How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?” ~ Till We Have Faces by CS Lewis

Well, it certainly seems that 2020 is the year we move from crisis to crisis, evolving (hopefully) with each challenge from the density of the 3D matrix into a healthier, more enlightened world view. We have barely emerged from this spring’s surreal pandemic “lock-down”, as the first of the summer eclipses (June 5) storms in on a massive emotional tidal wave of grief and anger, as well as, compassion and solidarity over the tragic and unjust death of a black man. There is a karmic theme at work here calling out for justice and liberty for all, the very foundation of our national psyche. One man’s death takes on archetypal overtones, since this penetrates to the very core of our nation’s roots; even “eclipsing” the collective fear of covid-19, as thousands of people take to the streets in protest So, this will be the work of the summer eclipses: a healing catharsis individually and collectively on the physical, psychological, and spiritual levels. And so goes evolution. On a very positive note, this particular full moon coincides with “Saga Dawa”, a major Tibetan holy day commemorating the birth and enlightenment of the Buddha. It is believed that all good deeds performed now will be multiplied 100,000 times! Help a neighbor, donate to a worthy cause, feed a hungry child…the opportunities are endless to shine a ray of light in the darkness. ~ Mary Lomando – Read the FULL Astrology Update
Sagittarius rules the hips and thighs. On Sagittarius moon days it’s important to look after these parts of the body. If we’re spending more time at a desk or cooped up at home, it’s important to stay mobile in the hips by doing lots of mobility work as well as stretching. A leg massage would be ideal – you’ll have to do this yourself or using a foam roller for the thighs, IT band and back of legs to help release any tension.
ESSENTIAL OILS
Due to the optimistic and joyful nature of this sign, uplifting Citrus oils such as Bergamot, Orange and Mandarin are lovely to use and these oils help to lift our mood and connect us to hope. Why not add some of these oils to a base oil and make yourself an uplifting leg massage oil 🙂~ Philosopher’s Moon ~ Read the FULL POST by Michelle Boxley
