It must be a very trying time for folk living through this … and while I know it is good for trees to burn sometimes…. I am prying that not too much damage is done this time around…
August 2015– CALIFORNIA – Thousands of people were ordered out of their homes Monday after wind-whipped wildfires burned dozens of buildings across northern California. Described as “unprecedented” by authorities, the largest blaze — which is known as the Rocky Fire — had torn across Lake County, north of San Francisco, growing to almost 60,000 acres, or 93 square miles, by Monday afternoon, CalFire spokesman Officer Daniel Berlant said. Describing the fire as “erratic” and “destructive,” Berlant said that “it is burning in whatever direction it wants to.” At one point on Monday afternoon, the fire even jumped the highway along its northern border.
Even so, the nearly 3,000 firefighters who are battling the blaze have made some progress, Berlant added, increasing the fire containment area from five percent o to 12. The scale of the blaze has prompted officials to order 13,000 people to evacuate their homes, Berlant said…
What’s There: Numerous quality vendors displaying antiques, a large number of collectibles including vinyl records. Tantalizing foods and talented musicians.
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…. :)
The Moon Void-off-Course:
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.
Cancer
Taurus
Sagittarius
Pisces…
Opportunity Periods (thanks to astrologer Jim Shawvan):
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.
Void-off-Course: August 7/8 2015: August 8 12:46 am (ET) August 7 10:40 pm (PT) to August 8 2015 @ 1:40 am (ET) August 7 @ 4:28 pm (PT): Moon in Taurus v/c is one of the 4 “good signs”
House(s): 7th & 8th: … 7th house of relationships: 8th house of shared money matters, official financial dealings and desires.
Opportunity Period: None
What does it all mean?
Taurus needs emotional and material security, so we may find we are more interested in our financial affairs.
This may prove to be a good time to make investments for the future or to begin plans for the next financially responsible phase.
Taurus has lots of patience, indicating this could be a good time to deal with people/projects/situations that take up more time than is liked.
Things that give us pleasure, such as comfort foods, wine, relaxing, good music and giving/receiving “loving’s” are all things we may enjoy right now
Some of us may be feeling more frugal than usual, preferring to save our funds instead of spend it.
Take your time when the moon is in this sign, there is no need to hurry, and you probably won’t get very far if you do… so sit back and enjoy the ride… :)
In the 7th house: Peace making is the name of the game. We can work with our partners now in a mutually beneficial way. Take care as to who we “hook up” with now, our desire is for harmony in our relationships both personal and business ones, and some of us may be willing to say “yes” to just about anything to make that happen. Venus is very comfy in the 7th house, she also rules Taurus indicating relationship issues may be more in focus for some of us then the rest. Taurus really enjoys comfort, and with Venus in the house of relationships all we may need is some cozy time with our loved one.
In the 8th house: Taxes, insurance and estate planning may be in the works, and some may benefit from an inheritance under this moon. Our emotions are intense now, but it’s best to hold them down if we can, as we may jump to conclusions or assume things we shouldn’t. We could also be prompted to share our deepest secrets, be sure you are sharing the right ones with the right people. This is a good time for folk who have been wanting to make positive changes, if you are feeling stronger on every level you are encouraged to go for the change.
Keep your temper under check if you can, Taurus is very, very patient and it takes a lot to make her angry, but watch out once she has had enough, she will certainly let you know..
This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. Those with strong Libra and Scorpio placements in their charts will also be effected.
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.
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!
If YOU have a gift certificate please know that there is NO WAY of contacting you or finding out who you are unless you step forward. The best way is via email toTeam@TranquilGarden.ca. (email will continue to operate until December 2015). Before you do email, please know that there are ONLY two options for you at this point. We apologize that if neither is exactly what the purchaser had in mind please know that we are doing the best that we possibly can.
Option 1: You can use the full value of your gift certificate for any service or event that Traci Trimble (Empowerment Coach, Reiki Master/Teacher and Self Awareness Workshop Facilitator ) offers. Unfortunately she does not do Spa Treatments. Gift Certificates that expired May – Sept will be honoured. This offer is ONLY available between September to December, 2015. Please see http://www.TraciTrimble.ca for details of available services.
Option 2: Seek legal action through the court system against Tranquil Garden formerly at 850 King St W Unit 8 Oshawa ON Canada.
