The Moon becomes full at 4:28 am but will be Void off Course until 1:17 pm when she settles in the sign of Cancer.
The moon in Cancer is comfortable as she rules this Zodiac sign. We can be more emotional and sensitive during this time, so be wary of becoming needy or imagining slights that aren’t there. Home is where the heart is and when the moon is full in Cancer being “domestic” and doing things around the home, cooking for loved ones, cuddles and family are the sort of things we enjoy doing the most… :)
The Full Moon Void off Course… When the moon is Void off Course, she isn’t visiting with any of the Zodiac signs… She may carry over a slight influence of the last sign she was in… We are advised not to make important decisions when the moon is Void off Course because we may not always be in zinc with or understand our feelings.
SGC Admin: Are you looking for a fun book for your children this Christmas, or perhaps you have a niece, nephew or grandchild to buy for … Check out the following, received in our inbox from Lesley Phillips Ph.D. Author and Spiritual Teacher
Please contact Lesley via her website, phone number below or Click Here to send her an email if you are interested in purchasing this book.
It is a great option for parents who are keen to have more resources to teach spiritual values to their children that are not clouded by conventional religious beliefs. The book was given to me as a spiritual download. The characters are nature spirits and animals, who are the keepers of ancient secrets that allow the hero Joshua to overcome his challenges. There are many great teachings embedded within the story. It’s a great book for the family to read together and discuss –
The book is also being enjoyed by adults, who say it reminds them of great classics like “The Celestine Prophecy,” “Harry Potter, ” “The Chronicles of Narnia” and “Alice in Wonderland”
Over the past week, our (personal) family has lost two of its members…. When we lose a family member our first instinct is to be with the other family members, to be a comfort and or be of practical help, what ever is needed. But when there is a distance involved, (as in our case) it is not always possible to be present at the Service…As part of our healing journey, we would like to share our dedication for our loved ones with you, as we believe the best way to honor a loved one is to remember them by sharing with others.
We would also like to take this opportunity to send prayers and healing to all those who may be sad, facing difficulties or grieving the loss of a loved one during this time. Time can help us to heal, we just have to allow ourselves to grieve, be patient and let the love in…
Christmas time is a very difficult time to lose a loved one, it can be a lonely and dark time for some… Take care in your daily dealings with others if you can, if you come across someone who is less than Christmassy, don’t be too quick to judge…
Today, was the service for our first family member who passed… we were all there in thought and spirit and we are honored to help keep Jenny’s memory alive
