To me, the Flower of Life represents the interconnectedness of all sentient beings including; all brothers and sisters of the universe, animals, plants, land andsea and the greater Cosmos. Our health and wellbeing depends on themaintenance of these relationships in terms of quality and balance, achieved through reciprocity – a flowing cycle of giving and receiving and a real, open commitment to conflict resolution.

This is the Law of Nature – choosing to live by and align with this Law ensures all sentient beings experience abundance and wellbeing.

This philosophy has become very much a part of my life, including the Moon Circles,so it seems fitting to include it here. Also the energy of this Law is presentin many cultures and thus you may relate to a different symbol or name thatreflects these same principles.

The Full Moon in Sagittarius, our first Winter Moon, calls us to celebrate with enthusiasm and optimism and invites us to lovingly share our wisdom and spiritual knowledge.

Welcome my friends to this delightful Sagittarius Moon that occurs on Monday 8thJune in the early morning. Since I will be at The Dreaming festival for this one, I will host the circle at my campsite (which will be in Cloudlands) – time to be confirmed, all are welcome. Feel free to read on to get a heads up and to maximise your festival experience!

For those that are on other missions, here is the information so you can expand your awareness of the energies that will present, and play with them in your own way.

Here is my summary of the delicious energies that befall us, you can begin to workwith these a few days before the Full Moon all the way through to the next New Moon. 

The main themes presented to us are

Knowledge & Travelling

Spirituality & Meditation/Prayer

Sharing Wisdom

Mother Earth

Optimism, Enthusiasm & Joy

The enthusiastic Sagittarius Full Moon supports the union of the physical and spiritual in search for knowledge. Sagittarius wants tounderstand all of life and it does this through travelling at all levels – travelling; abroad, in books, over theinternet, into other spirit realms and also journeying within the mind touncover deeper levels of the psyche or to theorise about philosophical andmoral issues.

Travellingexpands our sense of who we are, and perspective helps us with growth &gratitude – both necessary for abundance ... yay!

Forthose coming to the festival (or a like gathering) – Sagittarius energy isfully supporting us to gather around the bonfire with friends and loved ones toshare stories of our own journeys, knowledge and beliefs in an open andnon-judgemental way... because through this investigation and conversation, wecan understand our place in the universe and the deeper meaning of life.

Sagittariusencourages us to make time for meditation/prayerto seek connection with the Universe ... this stillness and intention enablesus to tap into global spiritual healing energy, visionary energy and awakeninginto healing energy – combine this with a grounded, physical experience and weachieve the power of heaven meeting earth energy... just Divine!

Share your wisdom with compassion and joy no matter what your age!Listen with your heart and speak with forethought and care. Be accountable forwhat you think and say (remember your thoughts are communicated energetically),for these can hurt and harm like weapons. But above all, to quote the words ofmy wise Indigenous teacher, “lead by example” for this is the most effectiveway to teach and a show of true Eldership.

Truespiritual principles areall-inclusive and all loving – now is the time to activate free thinking inrelation to old spiritual beliefs, some which carry energies of fundamentalismand isolation/separation from our fellow brothers and sisters – one example ofthis is organised religion.

Activelycontinue your own search for truth and wisdom that is inclusive of all livingorganisms!

Question,critically analyse and search for universal truths. Sagittarius Moon invites usto turn off the TV and find the answers in; the sunset and the birds call, thegust of wind or perhaps the cloud formations, or how about the transformationof the caterpillar into the butterfly or the activity in the ant hill, the barkof the dogs or the hoot of the owl, or perhaps in the sensual embrace of yourlover or the in the smile of your friend, or how about in the rainbow light ofthe Universe and of course in Grandmother Moon.

Tune intoMother Earth, sit with her and practice listening deeply, in her story is thetruth.

Asa Sagittarian myself, this Moon is particularly exciting and special for me andI trust that you all will enjoy celebrating (in true Sagi form!) withenthusiasm, optimism and sharing this joy with everyone you meet!

Blessingsand love,

Hélène

woops the topic heading says june 7 and rest of doc says june 8.... in Oz it falls on june 8 in the wee hours but the energies are present at both these times anyway so tis all good xx

Thank you so much Hélène for sharing this with us. I will have just finished doing market stalls at Brunswick Heads and Byron Bay on Saturday and Sunday, so will be physically exhausted and fast asleep in the wee hours of Monday morning. But will certainly spend time at the altar before bed. As a fellow Sagittarian and Keeper of The Goddess, I am certain that the inherent energies will guide me in my work.

An gheal beanachd Hélène xx
