Full Moon Meditation
Full Moon Meditation
with Natalie Johnson https://zoom.us/j/94466338656 This Full Moon falls in the sign of Aquarius, the airwaves, the great communicator. We are living in a time when communication seems difficult. We seem to be at such odds at times it is as if we are not only of differing opinions but seem to be speaking different languages that are unintelligible to one another. This Full Moon also falls in the middle of the period known as the Lion’s Gate… an event that begins each year on July 28 and peaks on August 8. The ancient Egyptians marked this time as the heliacal

New Moon Meditation on Zoom
New Moon Meditation on Zoom
with Natalie Johnson https://zoom.us/j/94091223572 This New Moon falls in the sign of Leo, the wonderful shaggy maned being, the King of Beasts. Although lions exist in many forms and in many lands, including our own, it is the iconic African lion who comes to mind most often. Cultures worldwide have honored these beings, from the ancient Egyptians to the Aztecs and Incas. The energy of Leo is expansive, sunny, loving, expressive, inclusive and openhearted. He models for us the right use of power and strength…..not power over but power shared and used wisely, in service to the greater good, as

Zoom Link: https://zoom.us/j/98327472921 This month we are treated to a second full Moon or Blue Moon. It is also a Super Moon, the second one of this month, and it falls in the sign of Pisces. It brings to an end a month filled with spectacular energies from the cosmos in the form of super moons, the Lion’s Gate, the start of the Mayan New Year and the meteor showers lighting up the night sky. It is offering us unusually strong assistance in bringing to fruition our most heartfelt desires. Last week on the 23rd, Mercury went retrograde and will
