Moon Rituals

I'm often asked about the influence of the moon and what magic properties there might be in those beautiful moonbeams! So I've put together the following article with my thoughts and suggestions around how I might use the moon's energies. If you feel drawn to have a go - then feel free to follow or do your own version of my typical ritual format laid out below;

Nature’s moon cycles can affect so much more than the tides on our planet. With a build up of cosmic energy, they are the source of external divine power, which can be used to help us manifest positive change in our lives.
It is a good idea to call in new intentions, goals and needs. Observing Nature’s cycles is a natural way of living for us and is part of the life encompassing journey that takes us back to our authentic selves.

Each lunar cycle is a wave of creation that comes to fruition when the Moon is full and runs the full gamut of initiation, progress, manifestation, revelation and the possibility for healing body, mind, and soul. The Moon is the Mother who nurtures us by reflecting Light that gives us knowledge of the reality of our situation.

Working the lunar energies, in balance with solar/earthly energies, provides access to a power greater than our own, to give divine weight to our cosmic orders. The Moonbeams transmit divine guidance and harmonic healing energies to the earth plain.

New moons are traditionally times for finalising cycles and creating and initiating new projects and to progress our ideas. As a result, they sometimes feel somewhat ‘antsy’ as the drive is all about taking action. Sometimes our sleep/eating patterns are disturbed and we find we are more awake for longer, or may have impulses to get on and do things or to start something new.

Full moons are often times for healing, releasing, letting go and surrender. You may want to eat/sleep more, socialise less, retreat, get sympathy and attention, relax in hot baths with essential oils and generally attend to looking after yourself more.

Remember to drink lots of water around these times too – as being properly hydrated takes stress off your body, making you feel more able to cope with any intensity and so lessens any mood swings. Utilise deep breathing, meditation, yoga, rhythmic music, dancing and singing to help the process.

The potency for a moon ritual will hold for 3 days after the lunar event.


How To Do A Moon Ritual

1. If you have a Cosmic Order List from last month, read it over, track your progress and thank the Universe. If it's clear a goal is no closer to manifesting itself then consider revising the format of your order. Sometimes, we have to work around healing sacred wounds or removing layers of obstacle and resistance, before the final outcome can come in.
2. Decide on your heart’s goals or intentions for your highest good.
To aid this process ask yourself questions like

Suggested New Moon Questions:
• What is my dream to achieve?
• What is the best situation for me to be involved with?
• Who would I be without restriction?
• What do I need to help me achieve my goal?
• What external resources do I need to call in to make this happen?
• What extra information do I need?
• Guidance on what extra motivation do I need?
• Guidance on wow do I feel the fear and do it anyway?

Suggested Full Moon Questions:
• What do I want to heal?
• What sadness do I want to let go?
• What relationship old/new present/past – do I need to get closure on?
• What situation old/new present/past – do I need to get closure on?
• What behaviour patterns are no longer serving me and need dropping?
• What addictions am I done with today?
• What anger is holding me back?
• What fear holds me back?
• How do I procrastinate? Haven’t I had enough of that yet?
• What cherished wounds do I have and need to let go of?
• What Story or Stories do I need to let go?
• What do I need to complete NOW?
• What cycle do I need to end NOW?
• What Healing / Closure / Letting Go / Completion am I grateful for?

3. Be as specific as you can be and make sure you write in the present tense and do not put ‘I want’ in a sentence construction. (It might be an idea to include a request for healing for the planet and a move towards the spread of world peace if you are able) Write your goals down in a positive way so that only good comes in

4. You can decorate your list to make it special – with colours and make it fancy or pretty if you like – you could view it as treating yourself to a beautiful gift – ritualize it in whatever way suits you.

Importantly the more energy you invest in putting the order together, the better your results are likely to be – so at the very least put as much feeling and intention in it as you can.

5. Invoke Archangel Haniel – she is very strong and gentle and is all about getting us humans back to a state of harmony and grace. She is strong on personal and psychic development and also increasing Divine Feminine Power (for both genders).

Call in any other Angels, Ascended Masters like Jesus or other Beings of Love & Light and passed over family members if required, to co-create with you and the moon.
Suggested Archangel Haniel invocation:

Archangel Haniel, mistress of the moon, please add your Divine energy of Loving Wisdom to my ceremony
Thank you for guiding my words, actions and attitudes in helping me to achieve my goals
I ask your Divine magnetism helps draw only positive people, energies and outcomes into my life
I ask this for my highest good to enjoy my life and blessings for all those interact with me
Thank you beautiful Haniel


6. Read your intentions out loud to the Universe then either bury, burn (if it is safe to do so), or set it aside your list and do not re-visit it for one month. Do not keep going back to that list – let it be – and work inside yourself to trust the process of working with the Divine. This is organically spiritual and is not part of the instant, disposable ego world.
Finally – and this is important - really engage with how you will feel once you have made real and received orders in your life. Hold these feelings close to your heart and live them like they’ve already happened.

N.B. I say a prayer request for my cosmic order to be heard and dealt with by a specific time. If you do put a timeline on it – be sure to make yourself fully ready to receive it.

7. Thank the moon and the universe for being a part of this ritual and also Archangel Haniel and any other being you included. Close the ritual by repeating ‘It is done” three times.

Now live normally and get on with your week, safe in the knowledge that you've expressed your wishes to the Universe. Do all you can to make them come true… like just believing that they are coming true already and being happy for their impending delivery.

Happy blessings!

Please let me know what happens with your moon list - I would love to hear success stories.

And if all your wishes don’t come right immediately – then consider a few things:

1/ Often change comes over time in waves or layers of small change, as humans rarely want overnight rapid change, which is felt to be too scary.

Many times we have to let go our negativity in stages over time, which results in us having to sometimes ask more than once and work on releasing wounds around the outcome before the final outcome can come into being.

2/ Divine Order will come to pass – so you will be delivered what you need as opposed to sometimes what you want.

3/ For your wishes to be granted it has to be for your highest good and for the good of all concerned – there must be no harm for anyone involved.

4/ Focus on how you are asking for what you want to manifest. Keep the structure as joyful, positive, grateful and specific as you can.

5/ Believe you deserve the happiness you are calling in.

September Angel Hamaliel

The very gently and peaceful angel that is Hamaliel is the Zodiac Angel for Virgo. Traditionally some of the strong Virgo traits are: attention to detail, cooperative, amiable, practical, hard-working and diet sensitivity to gain perfect physical health. He will work with you through such personality traits and flavours, so this energy will feel somewhat understated – especially compared with last month’s Leo energy, where everything is about spotlight and shouting from the roof tops.

This month is the perfect time for you to get your house in order and secure the foundations that support the maintenance of the status quo, but also anything big coming your way. Hamaliel wants to prepare you for a healthy, happy and fruitful life, so you are free to dream big and achieve to your fullest potential.

I feel Hamaliel’s energy as one who is a very peaceful, studious and contemplative task master. This angel is about taking action - but on the details of life that make up a whole. He is the small picture perspective. Don’t be fooled into thinking that small is unimportant, because it isn’t! Success comes from Happiness. And Happiness comes from lots of Life’s little cogs all working in harmony and balance together to make one giant cog, that turns easily and abundantly. There is nothing forced around his energy – it’s meant to be a grounded, anchored set-up that underpins all that is in our lives.

Hamaliel is about health - if you are healthy you have strength, vitality and inspiration for life.

When I tuned into him, I was immediately enveloped by a big cloud of positive yellow energy, which felt so gentle and motivating at the same time! This helped me turn my senses inward to see what personal work was required for me to do this month.

Hamaliel will help us observe what areas need re-balancing in our lives and his specific energy injects us with a sense discipline and commitment to follow through and make positive changes at a core level of physical strength and health. This angel is about detail and is more about tweaks and minutiae rather than big sweeping changes. This feels to me as very achievable.

Hamaliel says in many cases this means a completion of work started some time ago and paying close attention to certain details that can make all the difference. Whilst he warns against over-fastidiousness, Hamaliel reminds us to leave out any drama or emotion and get practical enough to really examine what needs to be done. This preparation is required in order for us to move on and achieve big dreams.

As Hamaliel is very concerned with healthy eating and diet as part of a daily fitness routine, it is no coincidence that I started a 2 week de-tox program yesterday. Oh yes I am definitely going to use the abounding energies to help me clean up my diet!!

This angel will help you re-calibrate your diet to a more healthy and balanced consumption and will help you to let go of any diet niggles or addictions. You can work in tandem with Hamaleil and Archangel Raphael on this.

Hamaliel is also associated with sorting out relationships especially around the workplace. Ask Hamaliel to help you find the right tone and self-expression, when you put your point across to a boss or colleague. This is most definitely a time when you can make great improvements in this area if you seize this opportunity. Similarly if you are looking for new work – call in Hamaliel to help boost your search.

The powerful crystals he works through are Turquoise for wisdom and healing and Blue Topaz for clarity in equal judgement, communication and assessing your good points and not-so-good points all in one.

Hamaliel said:

I come to you now in your need for self motivation, to really push your attention into the corners of your life, so you can clean up any stagnating energies, negative behaviour patterns or set-ups. This is necessary preparation, so you can achieve big things later down the line.

Then he spoke using the analogy of a garden for one’s own life and said:

Prepare the soil of your garden so you can see many flowers bloom. Work hard to achieve expected blooms and also unexpected blooms. For it is the unexpected flowers can bring as much joy (or even a little more) than those blooms you knew would come.

With the expected flower there is no sense of miracle, with the unexpected flower there is a sense of miracle, surprise and wonderment.

Believe and understand that Miracles are ahead of each and every one of you! Miracles come in all shapes and sizes and are tailored towards the individual’s need. Every person has the right to dream in accordance with their life. Go for your dream. Go for your miracle and prepare your garden to receive it. And so it is. Aho.

Solar Eclipse 22 July 2009

Now as if we've not had enough to deal with since the last full moon, astrologically we're being asked to jump through hoops once again tomorrow - at exactly 2.45am today/tomorrow when the New Moon and the Solar Eclipse are in full alignment.

What does this mean for all of us? The eclipse is in Cancer which is all about the home and domestic arrangements, nurturing, mothering, the inner feminine and feelings - oh did I mention feelings - because oh yes feelings / emotions/ whatever you want to call them - are coming up for review massively in the next few hours.

This is where you get your Justice. It is time to speak up and really overcome your fears of being seen and heard so that you can start to rearrange your life into the structure and harmony that you crave most. It is an amazing opportunity for a clearing - on all levels. Speak from the heart and soul and get your life back.

The presiding Angel to Cancer is Muriel - who reminds us not to get bogged down by introspection. Don't loose yourself in it. Rather get in - see how the land lies - get out and get busy with doing what must be done. That way this angel can guide you to the other side of that coin - Contentment.

It is also a New Moon - so make a wish list for sure. Write down your top ten wishes or less if you are even more focused. And really put heart and something of you in it. Get personal with the list. Light candles whilst doing it - burn incense - play beautiful happy music - whatever to get you in the good mood vibe and then write. What you do with the list? Either hide it away for a long time - at least until the next new moon - or if it is safe for you to do so - Burn it and really watch that smoke go out to the ether. And then finally Surrender to the outcome of it all.

Resist and it will be hard. Accept and it will be easier. The choice is up to you.

Eclipse Opportunities For Each Star Sign

Its time to Dig deep and really Let Go…either someone, something, any negative behaviour or indeed anything that no longer serves your equilibrium. It you know you've been resisting - now is the time to set yourself free and be congruent with your inner wisdom.

OK so if you felt the heat of the first eclipse, you probably had lots to deal with! Today, the dust is settling and you should be able to feel a little calmer and not so pushed around for the next few days. This welcome break is giving us space to really come to terms with what the full moon energies highlighted so poignantly within us. For those who have to close and complete - we need to work on Acceptance, Forgiveness, Equanimity and finally the action of Release. What is going on internally for you? Have you accepted what/who it is that needs to be let loose yet? Are you relieved? Are you scared? Are you excited about what better situation is most definitely about to enter into your life?

If your decision is about a job move - don't despair! And don't buy into this ‘recession' mindframe either. Rather adopt an outlook of hope and optimism that now at last you can find a job that really suits you much more as a person.

If the decision has been around a relationship remember that you can be more lonely and unhappy in a relationship that has gone wrong already, than being on your own, where you can create new and exciting opportunities to get what you really want. The key is to take the personalities out of the equation and re-visit your relationship values.

So Just let Go!

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse 7.7.09.

As Eclipses are such special events energy wise - I'll be reviewing the effects on us all. See Eclipse season as times when concentrated personal growth and change can occur at rapid speed. New beginnings can spring up out of seemingly nowhere. Endings or Completions that occur in an eclipse season should be treated as final and faithfully wise - regardless of the circumstances. Remember positive change is desirable and there are many hidden blessings if you look carefully enough in all situations.

This season started with a Full Moon eclipse on 7th July in Capricorn and will end on 6th August with a Full Moon eclipse in Aquarius and in between a solar eclipse in Cancer on July 21st. Busy Skies with BIG Energy!! It can be said that following this period when 360 degree turnarounds are possibly, we will all have a much clearer understanding of life and how it fits in with the collective bigger picture. But first the energies will deconstruct anything on the professional and the domestic set-ups in your live that are holding you back or have you in any mis-guided position.

The potential for fundamental change is urgent. Finally bounderies between the work/life balance will be redefined and a new order can prevail. Power struggles will come to the fore and be sorted out once and for all.

We will be challenged on how much worth there is to what we are doing with our precious time. For many, the need to find occupation or relationship, where there is deep emotional investment and reward will be key over the next few weeks. It may feel like reaching a breaking point but I prefer to see it as breaking free moment instead.

Dream Big and Bold and visualise your dreams coming into reality. Do Not worry about the HOW - that is what Divine creative energy is for!

With Capricorn the shadow side is: Not my job, not my fault, not my problem! With Cancer its: I'm always sacrificing for you, I'm not appreciated, I'm not loved enough!!
