We have a partial solar eclipse happening on Saturday April 30th at 18:45 UTC , and I’ve been feeling the churning this past week:

Shadow aspects, unhappy memories, frustrations, and discontents – it’s very like the eclipse to bring these things to the surface.

Has wonder lost its value in our modern age? It’s what sparks the imagination, ignites passion, suggests possibility. It invites that magical question: “What If?…”

It reminds us that there is more to this world than our day-to-day existence.

It entices us to seek out that more, and to become it.

I think many of us (myself included) could do with a little Leo moon juice + some joyfully mad-passionate crystals right now...

This will be a very magical eclipse, one that can initiate us into a new way of being - individually, and collectively.

Don’t miss out if this calls to you and speaks to your soul, because it means your time of becoming is now.

I experienced a powerful download yesterday. I was in my garden with my sceptre quartz, tuning into the energies of the solstice and the upcoming new moon in cancer + solar eclipse. What I received was an insight into the archetypal cycles, nature, and stories of humanity, and how they’re playing out now on a cosmic scale.

There’s great turmoil in the world right now - uprising, revolution, demands for justice, and they’re happening because this is part of evolution. We can’t be awake while still being asleep to what’s happening around us, to social injustice, to systemic racism.

We also can’t be awake if we’re asleep to our own shadow selves.

This full moon solar eclipse in Sagittarius (exact on 6/5/20 at 3:12pm ET), while the sun remains in Gemini, is an opportunity for us to look within, to learn, to grow, and to face our inner duality.

Scorpio is all about the dark places, the hidden and unseen, our innermost motivations and desires. It’s intensity, death, lust, magick, psychism, power, deep emotions, and manifestation.

Aries is the warrior and the defender, and this full moon’s energy is empowering us to face our challenges and fight for what we believe in. To become the sacred warrior.

There’s ALL KINDS of manifestation, goal, and achievement teachings + techniques out there, but as a busy person I tend to stick to those that are simple, quick, yet proven to be highly effective.

And as a longtime crystal pro, I like to put my own spin on them.

You will need to hold a quartz crystal for this vision session, though it is not required. Any size, shape, or form will do. Trust what you feel intuitively guided to hold.

The purpose of this ritual is to charge a crystal with the moon’s healing energy and guidance, so that you can connect with healing light energy in dark times, and ask to receive guidance or clarity to help you navigate the challenges and understand the meaning or lessons from what you’re facing.

As Cancer (the crab) represents our home, family, roots, emotional needs, introspection, comfort, and our foundations (physical, mental, emotional), we can expect potential big change or revelations in this area.

This is an especially powerful moon for anyone who feels stuck, blocked, or held down right now in their lives.

Now is HIGH manifestation time as the sun comes fully into its power, so now is the time to really invest in making your goals happen!

So you’ve got choices in how you want to work this Scorpio full moon energy: is there some deep desire you’d like to have manifest, or is there something you wish to be freed from?

This new moon in Taurus invites you to look at the quality, not quantity, of your life.

The art of manifestation requires energy + focus. If your energy is split in too many directions in your life, or if it's being too drained, there's less potency available to help activate and manifest your intentions into being.

Question: When was the last time you took a real good look at what’s going on in your head?

While many people focus on the negatives when in Mercury retro, there are a lot of positive aspects, but in order to benefit from them you need to be able to stay grounded and go with the flow.

With this ritual we’re working with the power of the waning moon, quartz, five protective stones, and water. I’ve also included some tips on how you make this more powerful (if you have the time).
