it’s wednesday, july 27, & moon moves from gemini to cancer around 1 pm mountain time while being supported & transported by the starspace called punarvasu. this is a move from the airy masculine to the watery feminine, from left brain to right brain, from logical to intuitive. we investigate & analyze with our noggins in gemini, then feel into what resonates in our heart in cancer.
i’m going to go off our regularly scheduled program to share my lunar ritual so you have time to prepare, if you so wish, for the new moon in cancer tomorrow, b/c it has been powerful for me & it may be for you as well:
• decide what you want to embody as the moon waxes (you can do the same on full moons for the waning cycle).
• create an “i am” statement from that intention. for example, in the last cycle i wanted to be positive, so my statement was “i am yes.”
• get rid of all the vowels & all consonants that repeat. i.e., if your statement is “i am ecstatic,” you’d get rid of the i’s, a’s, e, one c & one t.
• make a design using the letters that are left over so that they all connect. this is called a sigil (pronounced SIJ-el), which is a seal or signet, “a sign, word, or device of supposed occult power in astrology or magic.” you get to decide if it’s “supposed” or if it produces magic for you as it does for me!
• using a knife, carve your design into a candle so that one letter touches the top of the candle & one the bottom. in my case, my letters were m, y & s—& you can see what was left of them when i took this photo (not the greatest, but, hey!) b/c i colored them in just for you.
• leave it there & burn the candle every day throughout the waning (or waxing) cycle or write a letter to more fully elucidate what you are calling in or embodying or intending, fold it up & place it under the candle & then burn the letter before the full (or new) moon.
i love this ritual b/c every day when i sit in front of my altar to chant & meditate, i am reminded of what my intention is. it helps keep me on point.
rituals only work if they resonate. there are no rules as far as i’m concerned. find what works for you.
enjoy!
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. may it allow you to align with the day’s cosmic energy so you can find & create a little more bliss. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.
