In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… Each sign stays with the moon for up to 2.5 days…. :)
There are times throughout the month when the moon isn’t fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void off Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void off Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-off-Course moon…
Good for Void-Off-Course Moon:
These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.
There are other periods throughout the month that are known as opportunity periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods.
Thanks to Jim Shawvan present day astrologer, William Lilly 17th century astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods.
SGC Admin: With sadness in our hearts we received the news that The Tranquil Garden, wellness center and spa located in Oshawa has had to close its doors.. We are grateful to Traci Trimble and all the staff at Tranquil Garden for supporting SGC and giving space to present our monthly newsletter… Please view the following from The Staff of The Tranquil Garden regarding the closure.
June 2015 ~ UPDATE:
The business Skin & Body at Tranquil Garden, operating as Tranquil Garden is officially NO LONGER in business. It has taken a couple of months (April – June) to get to this final point. Unfortunately, the financial and emotional burdens were too high to salvage and/or continue operating. Each of the independent contractors from Tranquil Garden have gone off to new ventures; if you wish to find them we suggest Facebook. If they are in business they should have a page.
If you have Zen Points – thank you so much for your patience. It has been greatly appreciated. Events and Workshops will resume in the Oshawa/Whitby area with many of the independent service providers that offered programs at Tranquil Garden. There may or may not be multiple locations; however, Your ZEN points will be honored and will not expire. Once all planning is complete an email will be sent to you with your point balance and a calendar of events. So stay tuned!

Creating Connections While Apart
Family CeremoniesIf you are apart from your family you can decide upon a reminder together, and create a simple ceremony of connection that defies any distance.
Life’s journeys may sometimes take us away from our families and friends, but there are many ways to stay connected. Aside from making use of the technology available—speaking on the phone or seeing each other from across cyberspace—we can create simple ceremonies using nature and our own thoughts to connect our hearts across the miles.
The first step in creating your ceremony is to look to nature for similarities in the different surroundings. The second step is agreeing upon something that is meaningful to all involved. If your mother loves birds, then perhaps each time you hear a bird chirp, you can think of her and mentally send love. You may choose the sight of a butterfly, the feel of a breeze or raindrops, or the scent of flowers to remind you of a special someone. The pink glow of sunset might be your favorite time to send a thought, or perhaps the warming oranges of sunrise. We can all see the sun, the moon, and an array of twinkling stars when we look to the skies. The monthly full moon may be your time to connect with your loved ones, or the first star you see each night, knowing that they, too, are gazing into the night sky and sending love. You could choose a day that you would usually celebrate together, such as a holiday or a solstice. If you once shared Sunday brunches in the garden, you can! each seek out a garden on Sundays. Or you can choose a specific time and account for the time difference in order to connect by heart and mind at exactly the same moment.
With practice, we may learn to recognize the feeling that comes when a loved one sends energy our way, and the feeling of soul-to-soul communication. In this case, distance may indeed make our connections stronger. There is certainly much to make us think of our close friends and loved ones often, but when we decide upon a reminder together, we create a simple ceremony of connection that defies any distance.
All are welcome
