Aria Sparrowsong's TAROT AND STARS

This will be an intense Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse experience--and this is the Full Beaver Moon. Get ready, Taureans and Scorpios, fixed signs--and this will affect you two the most! Tightly wound? Stressed on life? Need to cut loose? This might be the perfect time to do this! Within reason, of course! The Full Moon will peak in the early morning hours for most of us here in the US and the Lunar Eclipse will take place during that time-frame, too. Here on the East Coast, we will be able to see it if we get up early and if there is no cloud cover--at 3:57 AM to be exact. Look to your local media to find out exact times for viewing where you are. NPR says: " NASA  predicts  the eclipse will last over 3 hours and 28 minutes. That would make it the longest partial lunar eclipse in 580 years, according to the  Holcomb Observatory  at Butler University. " So how can we look at this from the spiritual?

I gotta say that this is one of my happiest times of the year--I am so over the heat and way ready for cooler temperatures, more temperate days. The other season is Spring at the Vernal or Spring Equinox--the end of March or beginning of April. These two days of the year are when the day and the night are equal; there is the balance of light and dark. Right now, as the days progress through the latter part of September, they will get shorter and shorter. This is the Second Harvest and the Feast of the New Wine. It is time to be grateful for our prosperity and abundance and to give thanks for it. Truly it is a Witch's Thanksgiving! Count your blessings and if you have extra, give to those in need. Prepare for the dark times, the winter is coming, indeed, it is right around the corner. The Goddesses that come to mind to represent this time of year are Persephone, Lakshmi, Fortuna, the Morrighan, Isis, Ishtar, Ceridwen. Invoke them in your prayers, meditations and spellwork.

Warm browns, golds, yellows, purples, reds, oranges of all shades. Even reflected in the school buses and Number 2 pencils for the beginning of the school year. Fall Equinox and the celebration of Mabon marks an equal day and night of light and darkness. The Sun enters the sign of Libra, representing balance. Preparations are underway for stocking up food and supplies before the Dark Time of the year. Everyone waits for the brightly colored foliage to make it's much anticipated mark on the landscape. The second harvest is of fruits, vegetables on the vine and new wine. In myths and legends, the story of Ceres aka Demeter, Persephone and Hades represents Mabon. Ceres was the Earth Mother who r...
