May 28 2014

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

The Moon in Gemini is a fun and fickle moon, these next few days may have you feeling the need to write, email and communicate with others. Multi tasking is also likely, but watch that you don’t become too scatter brained as you attempt to do more than usual. Short trips to the city, or visits with old friends may be in order perhaps with a business idea in mind… Siblings may also be in focus. Watch the purse strings, if you are shopping you are likely to enjoy buying more than one of the same thing…

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… (The moon is not void off course at the time of this new moon)

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.  (Solar Eclipse was in the previous month of April)

Those most influenced by this month’s New Moon are those who have the following: 

Moon in Gemini: Mercury in Gemini: Sun in Gemini: Any Planets in the 3rd house. For those who have oppositions or square aspects to the moon, these may prove to be challenging times. For those who have trines or sextiles, these may prove to be opportune times.

  • Project: Metroland Media Group Durham Region Division: “Way Back Wednesday” project: 
  • Date(s): Every Wednesday  
  • What does it mean?: Every Wednesday Whitby this week will be posting a picture from its archives of people from years gone by. The Purpose: To find out if the folk in the photo’s are still around and hopefully to hear from them and find out where their life journey has taken them… And you never know, reunions could happen too, with long-lost friends and relatives catching up on time gone by. If the folks in the photo’s can be found MMGDRD would love to recreate the photo. 
  • How does it work: Folk are asked to check out: www.durhamregion.com: www.facebook.com/newsdurham: Tweet @newsdurham hashtag #WBWDurham: Here you can see the photo’s and comment on them if you recognize the folk… The above photo is taken from the newspaper, so it’s not too clear, maybe try the website above to view it more clearly. :)

Meditation 10

Robyn keeps repeating in our spell-casts how important meditation is as a daily practice– and she’s totally right. When done with regularity, meditation lowers blood-pressure, eases depression and anxiety, and helps improve general health and well-being. Even as little as 5 minutes of meditation per day shows these benefits– so what reason is there not to meditate?

If you haven’t ever done any meditation before, you might consider checking out our Meditation 101 post.
