SGC Admin Update June 27 2013: Folks just wanted to say this event was another huge success this year, despite the rain, … Just read an article in the local paper and it seems there are a number of folk out there who have distinct Metis blood lines, and they are eager to connect with like minded folk. Not to mention they are very happy to share their knowledge with those of us who don’t have the Metis blood line… So it’s a happy event for everyone… Check back next June to find out the date of 2014’s summer Metis celebration… Thanks to all who attended, you surely made the weekend for the vendors and organizers… :)
SGC Admin: The Metis have a rich history and culture…. and are happy to share it with all Durham Residents this weekend…. :)
The Capricorn moon is organized and practical it’s all about business for the Caps…:)
Duty calls and it will be attended to, but don’t get too caught up in all the “chores” remember to relax a bit too. Looking at challenges in a pessimistic way will not help you to come up with the solutions that you seek.
If legal issues have to be dealt with now, especially those relating to business matters or family members your logic is ready to assist. Listen to advice given, ask questions and use logic (and compassion if it’s a family matter) to help you make the right decision.
Use this time to finish sorting the closet (or any organizing project) that was started during the new moon, put the finishing touches in place for plans already made, tidy up the files and get rid of useless paperwork.
Be aware of being too business like in your dealings with family, friends and loved ones, even in your place of business you may need to remind yourself you are dealing with people as well as numbers… :)
The moon will becomevoid off course on June 23 2013 at 3:08 am until settling into the sign of Capricorn at 4:08 am. Becoming void off course again June 24 2013 at 10:24 pm.
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 Capricorn: Moon in Capricorn: Saturn in Capricorn: Moon or Sun in the 5th house (Creative, children, pets): Aspects to the Sun, Moon or Saturn.
