We start with a meditation and then let the drumming take us on a creative, energizing, music-making journey that is never the same twice.
You don’t need to know how to drum or have previous musical experience to be part of this unique circle. There is no right or wrong way to drum and no pressure to perform.
We embrace the flow of free form music-making. Express yourself, be creativity and enjoy an increased sense of self-esteem and vitality.
Members of the circle make this a one of a kind the musical experience by sharing a variety of drums and rhythm instruments.

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.

What does it all mean?
Sagittarius is the most “easy-going” of the fire signs and is ruled by Jupiter “the lucky planet”
We are going to want our personal freedom now, so take care partners who have a possessive or jealous tendencies, they might not be tolerated for the next couple of days.
Because Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter “the lucky planet” we may be feeling luckier then usual… Just take care not to go over the budget… :)
We could have more energy for fun things such as music, sports and shows
It’s easier to try something new and exciting just take care not to get carried away.
Could be a good time to take a few days for rest, relaxation and laughter
Good time for day dreaming and making fantastic plans for the future.
In the 2nd house, focus is likely our finances, some of us may even get luck in this area… for others, they may be more generous then they should be… Because this house also relates to our material security, we may also be looking at buying a house or moving to a foreign land.
While this moon will have a slight effect on all of us… those with the following in their charts will feel it stronger as will those who have a strong Gemini or Cancer placement in their charts.

Moon Phase: 1st moves into the 2nd on Friday July 24
Void-off-Course: July 26 5:14 am: (ET) 2:14 am (PT) to 8:24 am (ET) 5:24 pm (PT)
House(s): 1st house: Of the self… one’s own needs and desires are in focus
Opportunity Period: None
What does it all mean?
Scorpio is very intense and probably the most sensitive of the zodiac signs
The moon relates to our emotions, indicating we could be feeling everything more deeply for the next couple of days
We can immerse ourselves in our projects now.
Watch for becoming obsessed with someone or something…. not everyone falls for someone at the same time and patience may be needed regarding sensitive relationship matters
Be sure that your partner, friend, lover, co-worker or school friend is really trying to upset your personal apple cart before making waves
We could be encouraged or directed towards taking risks or doing things we wouldn’t normally do, especially those of a group or team nature.
Sex may be high on the agenda for some of us… so if you don’t want to help the world population grow right now use caution… :)
Some of us may be highly creative right now, while others get connected to their psychic side…
Secrets may be told now… we can be enticed to open up to others about our deepest feelings/fantasy’s…
In the 1st house: Our needs and desires are at the top of the agenda, making this a challenging time for folk who are used to doing things their way as they may inadvertently upset others, or come across as being selfish. Being aware of how we speak to and deal with others is a good way of keeping any selfish streak under control. For those who are usually the ones who do all the giving, enjoy this time, and do something nice for yourself, you deserve it… :)
While we will all be effected slightly by the Scorpio moon, she will have a greater effect on those who have the following in their charts.. and those who have a strong Aries or Taurus placement in their charts.
Mercury is the planet of communications and technology, he is what makes us think.
Leo is dramatic, proud and “demands” quality over quantity.
Our way of thinking might get bigger, we may “see” greater possibilities ahead and our plans for the future may become more grandiose.
Speculation, gambling and taking a risk are all possible now. Those who have a tendency to go over budget may need to be aware of such a trait when entering into such situation. However research into sound investments isn’t a bad idea.
Time to pick up a good book, see a new movie, or go to the theater with friends or that special someone..
A great time to socialize and have fun with like-minded folk
Children and Pets might be on the mind of some folk. Creating with our hands is good for us now, as is coming up with creative ideas for any number of things.
Leo is a fire sign, encouraging our mind to work quicker then usual, however not everyone will be “blessed” with the ability to think on their feet.
Some of us may gear our thinking towards doing, while others may have the best intentions, however the thoughts remain words, good ideas may stem from such episodes, writing them down now may prove useful in the future.
