Our lovely lady is happy to settle into the sign of Leo for the next few days…

The Full Moon is the perfect time to finish up on projects and get those loose ends sorted out… Traditionally the Full Moon is not  the best time to begin new projects… so don’t start a new exercise regime this weekend, chances are you won’t stick with it, wait for the New Moon to pop up again… :)

The Moon in Leo…Ah Leo… loves to noticed, is drawn to quality over quantity and just loves show biz… even those Leo’s who are quiet and “shy” have these qualities buried within… :)

And so when the moon becomes full in this sign we are cautioned to watch out forDRAMA… be aware that many of us will feel the need to be recognized and the pull towards attention can be very strong, as our emotional self demands to be noticed….

Our best bet is to pop out to a good show or movie, be in a show or get romantic and dazzle our partners… It’s not a good time to make mountains out of mole hills or create negatives situations or invite negative attention… :)

This Full Moon is likely to have a stronger effect on those with one or more of the following…

The moon will become void off course on July 23 2013 at 10:00 am until settling into the sign of Pisces at 2:22 pm on July 24. 

When the moon is void off course we can be unsure as to how we are really feeling about something or something, it’s therefore advisable to stick to routine tasks at this time. If any legal documents or long-term commitments are in the picture take care to make sure you understand everything that is involved before signing… Delaying important decisions and commitments is highly recommended when the moon is void off course… 

Those likely to most affected by this month’s full moon are those with the following: 

Sun in Leo: Moon in Leo: Moon or Sun in the 5th house (Creative, children, pets): Aspects to the Sun, Moon or Saturn. Negative aspects may produce challenging times, whereas positive aspects may produce windows of opportunity.

New Moon July 8 2013

Our lady begins her renewal process on

July 8 2013 at 3:14 am.

July 8 2013 New Moon in Cancer in the 4th quarter.

She will be void off course from 7:44 pm July 8 2013 until 6:48 am July 9; where she will visit with the sign Leo in the 1st quarter.

The New Moon is about beginnings and starts … it’s the time to look forward and put new ideas and projects into motion. 

New moon in Cancer: Time to tend to the domestic front. The moon rules the sign of Cancer and she is all about home and hearth here. A time to nurture and take care of our loved ones, cook and bbq and tidy the home front…

But be aware of becoming too emotional or of making mountains out of mole hills. Those who are the more sensitive of the zodiac, like Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces might get their feelings hurt if they allow emotions free run.

And those of the Zodiac who are less in tune with the emotions of themselves or others,  may need to watch their p’s and q’s for at least one day… :) 

Cancer is Ruled by the Moon making the connection strong and will influence all water signs… Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio.

Those who have their Sun, Moon or Ascendant signs in Cancer or any of the water signs will be the most effected by this new moon…. 

New moon in the 4th quarter. A good time to “draw back” to reflect on past events and what has been (or has not been) accomplished. Time to clear the slate and plan for the New Moon stage. 

New Moon in the 1st quarter: Our lady becomes visible 5.5 to 12 hours after ‘her birth” she is delicate but strong, eager to start anew almost with the innocence of a babe she wants to begin again and explore all that she can. This is the absolute best time to begin your new projects, especially any projects or ideas that relate to the home and family. Family is anyone you wish to include which for some may be college’s friends, neighbours and co-workers. 

When the moon is void off course we can be unsure as to how we are really feeling about something or someone, it’s therefore advisable to stick to routine tasks at this time. If any legal documents or long-term commitments are in the picture take care to make sure you understand everything that is involved before signing… Delaying important decisions and commitments is highly recommended when the moon is void off course… 

A solar eclipse can have an influence on us making things, plans, issues and or situations that happen during an eclipse last longer than usual. Sometime’s it’s unavoidable and plans have to be made, ideas need to be put into motion and there are some people we just can’t get away from or do without…. In these cases patience is strongly advised. Our last Solar Eclipse was on May 9 2013. 

For those who have oppositions or square aspects to the moon, these may prove to be challenging times, if this is the case you are advised not to force issues at this time.  For those who have trines or sextiles, these may prove to be opportune times.

Changes to The Magical Blend… :( Physical Store Front Closed: Online store to remain in operation

SGC Admin: This is very sad news for us and hits close to home.. Although our physical Store Serenity was up and running just under 3 years we can still relate to how hard the decision was for the folks at the Magical Blend who have been serving clients in Montreal for over 20 years. 

Please view the following information from the folks at TMB … thank goodness their on-line store is and will remain in operation… We wish them the best and send healing, loving thoughts as they traverse through this change…

It’s not our favourite announcement, but it does need to be made: The Magical Blend has closed its storefront, and will no longer be open for public browsing or workshops. The Magical Blend’s physical location on Sainte-Catherine has served the community for over twenty years; it’s had a lot of good memories for a lot of us, and moving on is going to be hard.

It is important to note, however, that the online store will be staying open. And we have plans for it.

  • The Magical Blend Online will, over time, be narrowing its focus to handmade, hard-to-get, or one-of-a-kind supplies. Our usual recipes of bath salts, oils, resins, and other basic pagan supplies will STILL be available– but they will eventually be joined by local artisan-made tools and recipes. If you’ve always preferred your supplies lovingly-crafted instead of mass-produced, we are on the path to becoming the site for you.
     
  • The Magical Blend’s Book of Secrets: Volume One has finally been added to our site for pre-order! Its author, T. Scarlet Jory, owned The Magical Blend for a number of years, and has written up a volume containing a number of its practices and recipes, collected over the last twenty years.
     
  • The Magical Blend’s Weekly Spellcast is a brand new weekly podcast, available forfree download to anyone who has an account on our website. Keep up with us and give your comments about various subjects on our Facebook or Twitter pages.
     
  • Workshop Podcasts will soon become available for purchase online! Many of our most popular classes will be recorded and packaged with relevant class materials for download. Keep an eye on the podcasts category of the site for more details!

Sweet Stuff for the Week: 10% Off Your Orders 

In order to soften the sudden blow of losing access to the physical shop, all orders between July 1st and July 10th will be 10% off. If the sudden lack of store-front sent you into an incense panic, don’t sweat it: we’ve got your back.
