The Dark New SuperMoon: A last minute ritual.

Happy  Super New moon in Aquarius-Pisces.

Unlike the full super moon, you won't see this one in the sky. However, you will feel it's powerful energy. This moon is unique and potent with it's transition from the last degree of Aquarius into the first degree of Pisces to help guide you through any transitions that may be taking place in your own life. New Moon energy is always a useful time for creation or for the releasing of habits, and patterns which are holding you back from being your most authentic self, and living to your full potential. There will be a series of six super moons that we will have in 2015, the first happened back in January, and our next will fall on March 20, 2015  the same date as the spring equinox, how exciting is that?

As with all super moons we've noticed that there is an added sense of pressure to "utilize the potency" to go all out and celebrate! ideally, this would be wonderful but what happens when circumstance prevents that elaborate ritual you had planned? don't fret! It's important to surrender to what is. We have shared more elaborate New moon rituals on our site as well as our Instagram page: How to manifest, How to Release, if time and circumstance permits, utilize them and see what magic unfolds from New to Full Moon.

Here  is a a simple last minute new moon ritual: let go of any expectation or feeling that you blew it with what you intended to do.  Align yourself with the moment and get centered and quiet. Close your eyes, and say an affirmative prayer regarding your new moon desires, and know that it is done! Give thanks. Remember, it's all about your intentions and with intention you can't get it wrong.

 Be open and receptive to the forms in which your manifestations may appear. The Universe often has it's own ideas of how to bless us. If you petitioned for a romantic new love and received a sweet new pet, if you invoked for a raise but managed to receive help in clearing your financial debt, be grateful! Positive developments always lead us in the right direction, but even the seemingly negative events can clear the way for our good fortune to come through. Be grateful for whatever results your rituals produce. What is meant for you, will be yours.

The Vajra- Seattle's hidden jewel.

The Vajra  is a lovely hidden jewel located in the colorful neighborhood of Capitol Hill in Seattle Washington. Clouds of Raj laxmi incense can be smelled burning from about a street away. Once inside you are taken into what feels like a life sized altar. From the Goddess statutes, crystals,  tarot decks, and a bountiful supply of high quality essential oils. The Vajra is just so much more than a metaphysical store, it is a local beacon of light with some of the kindest, and most genuine women I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with. Tarot readers, astrologers, and practitioners from all walks of life are what make this place so special.  Each Monday, The Vajra  offers workshops ranging from  healing with the tarot to dream circles, astrology, guided meditation, and crystal healing.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Rachel Townsend the owner of The Vajra, as well as artist and one of my personal favorite readers, Michelle Bloom. For more information on the Vajra be sure to check out their website http://thevajra.com/  Michelle offers Crystal & Tarot insights at https://vajravortex.wordpress.com/

Full Moon In Leo Wellness

Use this time for matters concerning:

• Healing the heart and chest

"The heart region houses the power of our love. If we do not allow this to unfold, for whatever reason, then in the truest sense of the word we strangulate our heart. We have allowed ourselves to be persuaded that love is a sentimental feeling. It is not. the essence of feelings is their constant variation ; they are merely the accompanying symptoms of other things- thoughts and perceptions. One cannot build on something that is constantly altering like quicksand. Love is the thing that maintains us in life, that inspires us, that is always there- for you and for all of us. But only when it is given unreservedly, without ulterior motives, and expectations. The more one gives of it, the more there is!" - Johanna Paungger

A Full moon in Leo meditation:

Light a gold or orange candle and anoint yourself using frankincense, cinnamon or orange. Sitting in silence breath in the sign of Leo and place it into your heart center. As you envision the golden color of the sun surrounding you, allow it to fill you with courage, strength, and fire. recognize the power of your individual self by repeating the mantra: "My will is strong and my calling is to express and illuminate. I choose to express that will with love".

Crystals

• Citrine : abundance, joy, prosperity
• Carnelian: courage, protection, blood circulation
• Kunzite:releases blocks of the heart, releases daily stress
