(1)My Happiest Day Today is Friday.It is my thirteenth birthday.I got up very early in the morning and put on my new clothes happily.My parents bought me the new clothes as my birthday presents.I went to school earlier than before.I invited many of my classmates to come to my birthday party in the evening.Evening came at last.Many of my classmate came to my home.they bought me lots of beautiful presents.they all said,"Happy birthday to you!" We sang birthday songs happily.then my parents brought out a big birthday cake,saying,"We love you for ever.Happy birthday!" At the end of the party,we ate the birthday cake and some other delicious food.How happy I was!(2)Let鈥檚 Repair It Together!It was Monday.I got up very early and was the first to come to the classroom.When I came to my desk and was going to sit down,I found my chair was broken.What could I do?At thattime no one was around.I quickly changed my chair with Li Ming鈥檚 and sat down to read the book as if nothing had happened.My classmates came in one after another.After a while,Li Ming came.When he found his chair was broken,he tried to repair it.I didn鈥檛 say a word but my face turned red.Soon I ran to the teacher鈥檚 office and brought back a hammer.I said to I.i Ming,"Let鈥檚 repair it together." (3) An Unforgettable Holiday I am 鈥檃lways busy with my lessons.What I have to do everyday is nothing but study.Luckily,last summer my family went to my uncle鈥檚 farm.We enjoyed a really interesting holiday.During the holiday,I didn鈥檛 have to get up early,nor did I need to finish many exercises.I rode the horse in the fields.I milked the cows on the farm.To my GREat joy,my uncle invited me to go fishing.Life on the farm is quite different from that at school.I want to go back to spend my summer holiday again.(4) A Day to Remember It was Sunday.Our teacher Mr Zhu led us to a park nearby.Usually we go to the park to spend our holiday.But today we went there to take part in voluntary labour.We got there at nine o鈥檆lock.Mr Zhu divided us into three groups and then we began working.the students in Group One planted trees and watered flowers.the studentsin Group Two were busy collecting litter left by the tourist.they also cleaned the benches in the park.I was in Group Three.We went to the children鈥檚 playground and cleaned all the equipment there.We worked very hard.At about eleven we finished working.We met at the gate of the park.We all felt tired but very happy.(5) A Sunset the sunset is very beautiful and lovely.Its scene is as wonderful as a sunrise but it is even more beautiful to watch it in the country than in the city.When the sun begins to set behind the mountains,its long rays light up the GREen fields.the clouds in the sky also begin to glow with a golden light,and the mountains are really colourful.When the sun begins to set behind the mountain,it looks like a red ball.Its light fills the sky and changes the colour of the clouds from gold to red.When the sun is gone altogether behind the mountain,the clouds turn GREy and the mountains become black.then you cannot help admiring the wonder of nature.(6) the Sun and the Earth the sun shines on us.It gives us light and heat.It makes everything grow.It gives the earth life.the earth turns round itself.As it turns,we have day and night.It鈥檚 bright by day and dark by night.the earth also travels round the sun in an orbit.As it travels,we have four seasons.It is hot in summer and cold in winter.the days are long in summer and short in winter.In spring it is warm and the days are getting longer.In autumn it is cool and the days are getting shorter.(7) A Friend of Mine I have several friends.Wang Lin is my best friend.He is eleven years old.He comes from Beijing.Wang Lin came here three years ago.He came with his parents.His father is an engineer and his mother is a middle school teacher.He has no brothers or sisters.He is the only child of his parents.We are classmates at school,so we see much of each other.He is fond of English and I am good at maths.We always help each other.Both of us have made GREat proGREss in our studies.We have made up our minds to study harder and win still GREater success in our studies(8) Making Friends on Line these days many students like to make friends on line.Most of them think it鈥檚 interesting to know a stranger through the Internet.As a matter of fact,only a few of them have succeeded in getting a real good friend in this way.Most of them have been cheated.Some of them have committed crimes withthe friends on line.So we should be careful of making friends on line.We鈥檇 better pay more attention to our study.(9) My Grandfather My grandfather is over sixty.He looks younger than his real age.He was a policeman before his retirement.He has a positive attitude towards his later years of life.He does physical exercises every morning.He can read books without wearing glasses.He is so strong that he is able to lift heavy things by himself.He loves children very much.Every Monday afternoon he is invited to a nearby school to tell stories to the children about the life and work of the policemen.All the young pupils love him very much(10) I Won鈥檛 Be So Careless Again!One day I went out and left my key in the house.When I came back,I found I couldn鈥檛 get in without my key.What should I do?After a moment,I got an idea.I picked up a big stone and was ready to break the window.Suddenly there came a deep voice,"What are you doing?"

Happy October 2017
Welcome to October from Cassandra and Debi
Named after Octo which was the eighth month
in the old Roman calendar after New Year, October is associated with
financial advantage, called the Way of the Serpent in ancient Law.
It is a month that is associated with discovering the
truth, especially about old secrets, visiting places you feel
spiritually drawn to, ending relationships going nowhere fast, for
peaceful legal separations, divorces and terminating contracts, for
starting again in a new place or career, developing clairvoyance,
finding your soul mate or reviving an intense relationship that has
cooled but is based in deep feelings and for getting what you really
want through your own efforts.
Good also for success in competitions and games of
chance, for reaping rewards of earlier efforts, for all money and
property matters, speculation and learning new skills and technology.
In October, avoid repeating past mistakes, extreme
exercise regimes or crash diets, joining any organisation or religion
that may be obsessive or manipulative, sulking instead of sharing your
feelings with someone who cares.
The angel of October is Bariel or Baruel,
the Wise One and angel of small miracles who wears the colours of
Bariel offers us the ability to transform self and
situations, the power to start over again or revive a stagnant situation
and protects against spite for spite’s sake, jealousy and gossip.
His candle colour is indigo or
burgundy, which is also the colour of October.
Bariel’s crystals and the crystals of October
are fiery obsidian, red coral, black pearl and blue aqua aura, quartz
bonded with gold.
Bariel’s fragrances and the fragrances of
October are mimosa, pine and mint.
If you need urgent help and there seems no way
through, light a pure white candle and say, eight times Bariel, angel of
small miracles, bring the small miracle I do desire (name what you need
and for whom) and I will do good in the world. Leave the candle to burn
The special flower of October is the
marigold, the flower of abundance and protection, a flower
traditionally associated with increasing love and commitment and the
calling of new love. Collect the soil over which you and a lover/ would
be lover have walked and plant marigolds in it saying May love daily
grow in sweetness and mingle as togetherness as these marigolds grow.
If you can’t get soil over which a lover or your
would- be lover has walked bury his or her name beneath the marigolds.
You can also use this to attract a yet as unknown lover by writing
whoever will make me lastingly and faithfully happy, on a slip of paper.
Happy Full Moon,
October 2017
OCTOBER'S FULL MOON
The full moon is in Aries on October 5 at
&It is known as the Harvest Moon
because it is the full moon closest to the Autumn Equinox and
traditionally around this time moonrise occurred soon after sunset
several days in a row that allowed farmers more light to finish the
harvest. It is also known as the Hunter’s Moon, Travel Moon and Dying
Grass Moon.
But don’t think of it as a packing up and going home
moon. Quite the opposite, For by the time the sun in Libra has set out
all the options, asked have you thought of and hey let’s be reasonable
here, the Arian Moon mother is half way to the airport or train station
with her sandwiches for the journey and her map of the biggest adventure
ever ahead.
Independence is the name of the game, action not
words, no wait and see, for it is a wonderful rebirth and regeneration
time. This is my show, any issues are my issues and I will, I must, for
nothing can stand in the way of the future to be made even with a
frankly unpromising hand of cards. And Moon mother will tie up all the
loose ends, cut the binding threads and make her mark, even scattering a
few stars and setting off a few meteors as she blazes her trail of
anything has to be possible.
The old saying, Love many, trust few, always
paddle your own canoe is the theme song for this dynamic energy
peak, soon wheeling across the sky.
Hit decisions, ultimatums, fears and even threats
head on, not letting the 2am scary spooks in your head hold you back
from taking or perhaps reclaiming the wheel of your own ship. There is
only victory, there can be only victory so don’t wait, don’t hesitate
and then when that moon is spinning in the sky you will already be
poised for the leap of a lifetime.
Light a dark blue candle and put a pinch of
pepper in the flame saying, Defeat or holding back from life and
love through fear of loss or failure is not an option.
Light a bright red candle from the blue one and
add a pinch of salt to the flame saying, Burn bright and light the
way to victory and glory. I take the power of the moon, ride the
eclipse and shall not hesitate, need not wait. I am my Destiny.
Extinguish the blue candle and leave the red one
to burn while you tackle some of those 2 am hairies and scaries so
when morning light pours through, the day is yours to blaze your
trail of glory through the skies.
Her candle colour is red, her incense is ginger,
Dragon’s Blood or cinnamon and her crystal red jasper.
Happy Moon day.
Happy Equinox
Happy Approaching Alban Elued or
Mabon, the Autumn Equinox in the Northern hemisphere and
Alban Eiler, Ostara or the Spring Equinox in the Southern hemisphere and&
on Friday September 22 at 20.02 UTC, (see
Both occur at the same time and so wherever you live
in the world you can leave behind what is not longer wanted at the same
time and reach out for new beginnings.
Be guided by the rising or falling energies of the
earth, the early blossoming or full fruit- bearing trees in your area,
but know that both festivals are two halves of the same Wheel of the
Year ever- revolving in constant succession. So use the listed colours,
crystals, fragrances and symbols I have listed wherever you live in the
world to unite for you the beginnings from endings, growth from decay,
completion that opens the door to future possibilities and celebrate
this time as a festival of integration and diversity, offering and
receiving whatever is of most value to you right now.
The Autumn Equinox or Alban Elued in the Northern
hemisphere is the time for resolution.
Alban Elued means in Gaelic, light on the
Water and so the sun is moving away over the water to shine on the Isles
of the Blest, leaving the world with peace and acceptance of what did
not work while rejoicing in what has been achieved and persevering with
what still may come to fruition.
A time for the completion of tasks, the achievement
of long-term goals, for mending quarrels and forgiving yourself for past
mistakes, for recovering money owed and overcoming debt problems, for
assessing gain and loss, for family relationships and friendships, for
material security for the months ahead,, for abundance in all aspects of
your life, for issues of job security or the need to consolidate
all matters concerning the retirem the
resolution or management of chronic health problems.
The candle colours of the Autumn Equinox
are blue and green and its crystals are blue lace agate, chalcedony,
Aqua aura, also rose quartz and all calcites.
Its tree is the apple and the incenses,
flower and herbs of the Autumn Equinox include ferns, geranium,
myrrh, pine, sandalwood and Solomon’s seal. Michaelmas daisies and all
small petal purple and blue flowers.
Special Autumnal symbols are copper-
coloured yellow or orange leaves, willow boughs, harvest fruits such as
apples, berries, nuts, copper or bronze coins and pottery geese, geese
being associated with the festival of Michaelmas, of Michael, Archangel
of the Sun, also known as St Michael on September 29 which honours the
declining power of the sun and promises that that the days will grow in
strength and light once more on the mid- Winter Solstice on December 21.
The Angel of the Autumn Equinox is
Rismuch, angel of agriculture and cultivated land, wearing every
imaginable shade of brown, carrying a scythe and a hoe as symbol that he
is conserver of the land and the crops. His personal symbols are sheaves
of wheat and ears of corn, also dishes of seeds and nuts.
On the other side of the world at precisely the same time,
Alban Eiler or the Spring Equinox rise glorious in the Southern
hemisphere, the time of reaching out.
Alban Eiler means in Gaelic the Light of the
Earth that returns after the winter and the time of sowing, actual in a
number of lands and spiritual everywhere begins in earnest.
This is the time for fertility and positive life
changes, new beginnings and opportunities, new flowering love, for
initiating creative ventures, travel, house moves, clearing what is no
longer anything to do with conception and
pregnancy, children and young people, mothers and healing. Time too for
spring cleaning your life, welcoming the winds of change, for rituals
and empowerments to cleanse the seas and air of pollution, for new
peace-making initiatives of all kinds, also to encourage major changes
in attitude towards international, national, local and family issues.
The Spring Equinox candle colours
are yellow and green and its crystals are sparkling yellow crystals,
such as citrine, golden beryl and rutilated quartz, also lemon and apple
green chrysoprase and green aventurine for good luck.
Its tree is the birch and its incenses,
flowers and herbs are celandine, cinquefoil, crocus, daffodil,
honeysuckle, hyacinth, lemon, primroses, sage, tansy and thyme and
Special symbols of Spring are eggs,
especially painted ones, feathers, spring flowers or leaves a sprouting
pot of seeds, pottery rabbits and birds and anything made of dough or
clay. Rabbits recall the magical hare of Ostara, Norse Goddess of
Spring, the original Easter bunny.
The Angel of the Spring Equinox is
Raphael, Archangel of the Dawn, the East, the spring and of healing. He
carries a golden vial of medicine, with a traveller’s staff, food to
nourish all who seek or journey and he is dressed in the colours of
early morning sunlight, with a beautiful green healing ray emanating
from his halo.
Happy Full Moon,
September 2017
Happy Full Moon in Pisces on
September 6 at 07. 02 UTC,
This full moon is called in parts of North
America, Full Corn Moon because it coincides with harvesting the corn,
in others Barley Moon, as the time to harvest and threshing the barley
or even more poetically, Moon when the plums are scarlet, among the
Lakota Sioux nation.
Yet this lovely flowing Pisces Full Moon is not only
the moon of ripened grain, but of cascading emotions. She laughs and
cries at the same time, says good bye, this can never be and in an
instant, is back laughing mischievously, dries the tears, promising
forever and a day and dances for the sheer joy of being alive.
It is the helter- skelter moon, seemingly a nightmare
of excess emotion for logical, buttoned up folk. But stay with her for
the ride, for her message is an important one, whether heard with head,
mind, soul or best of all, all three in unison. For she tells us where
there is sorrow there will follow joy-and yes more tears, but then
laughter again.
There are no guarantees of forever for the butterfly
enjoying every moment of the remaining caressingly warm days in the
Northern hemisphere or for our carefully accumulated Lego brick
security, no surety the planted seeds will grow or the harvest be rich
and ripe, no reassurances that fire, hurricane and flood will not rip
through the land, as indeed has been happening in Texas and other parts
of the world so tragically.
Yet we cannot hold back for fear of being hurt or of
sickness, ageing and mortality. For silver shimmering moonbeams light
the way to tentative, trembling regrowth of trust even if right now
certainty lies shattered.
For on this moon we must drink deep of life and
squeeze every moment of pleasure and treasure the precious moments and
if we are wounded pick ourselves up again and again and again until we
are victorious.
The Pisces Full Moon is a moon for new love, for love
after loss or calling back lost love, for music and the performing arts,
for truth softened by kindness, for balancing two commitments or having
two careers and loving both, for adaptability, merging two families and
for using our hidden telepathic powers when our mobiles are out of range
or everyday words fail.
Lady Moon helps us to overcome rivalries of people or
demands pulling in different directions. She reminds us life is a rich
stew and-the more that is added the more delectable it becomes, not like
a cake to be portioned, with fighting over crumbs. This moon reconciles
quarrels, assists the amicable resolution of custody or divorce
disputes, blesses the homeless, the dispossessed and those who do not
understand convention but live by the ethics of what feels honourable.
Above all this is the Moon when our psychic powers
spontaneously open and we know things without understanding how or why
and we can find those very special answers to what is hidden or not yet
Happy, happy moon. Be then joyful, wish and it shall
be yours maybe not in the way or time anticipated, but marking a further
step on that road to that almost happy ever after.
Happy September 2017
Happy September from Cassandra and Debi
September is named after Septem, the Latin
word for seven because it was the seventh month after the New Year in
March on the oldest known Roman calendar where there were originally ten
months. It is a month associated with wisdom, knowledge, justice and
truth and in Ancient Egypt with eternal life. It is the month of the
Roman God Vulcan, deity of fire, ,Metalworkers and the forge and husband
of Venus who according to myth fashioned a polished bronze mirror that
showed past, present and future.
September is good for uncovering secrets, resolving
injustices, for increased psychic powers, for all forms of training,
retraining, and tests and for finding solutions for difficult questions,
for holidays or relaxing weekends, resolving long standing relationship
difficulties and reducing outside interference, for marriage or long-
term commitments and success in love and romance.
In September, however, avoid taking sides or being
railroaded into giving an opinion, flirting or falling for flattery and
con-merchants, making major purchases if the finances are not in place
and trying to live a double life especially in love. If, however, a
matter of principle arises, avoid sitting on the fence or trying to
please everyone.
The angel of September is Zuriel the
Teacher who brings calm and reason to any situation and encourages
idealism and balance and brings justice whether legal or personal,
especially in resolving gender, ageist or sexist inequalities or unfair
dismissal in the workplace He brings the ability to see both sides of a
situation, diplomacy and peace-making skills. Above all Zuriel helps
guard us against unwise and impulsive words or actions that may be
regretted.
September’s flower is the Aster,
known best as the purple, pink or white star like autumnal Michaelmas
daisy, named after Michaelmas, the festival of St Michael, the Archangel
of the Sun which was celebrated on September 29. Since St Michael was
Patron Saint of high places and replaced the pre- Christian Sun deities,
he is an apt symbol for the last days of the summer sun in the northern
hemisphere.
There are many varieties of aster which means star in
Latin. Considered sacred to Roman and Greek deities, asters originated
as ancient wildflowers belonging to the daisy family. An old Classical
myth told that asters first bloomed when Virgo, a Goddess linked with
the harvest in different ancient cultures, scattered stardust on the
earth. Another myth says that the Goddess Asterea, the Titan Goddess of
the falling stars and of star lore, began to cry when she looked down
upon the earth and saw no stars. Asters bloomed where her tears fell.
Known as Eye of Christ in France and starwort in old England and
Germany, asters were thought to contain magical powers.
The gem of September is the blue
sapphire, stone of love, commitment and fidelity and still popular today
in betrothal rings, promising lasting fidelity. Blue sapphire was
traditionally worn when treaties were signed. Blue sapphire is
considered effective for channelling healing powers from an angelic or
higher source into the healer and is popular with Reiki healers and
other energy transference therapists. Sapphire amplifies healing through
the voice.
King Solomon’s fabulous magical ring was said to have
been a blue sapphire and so a symbol of ancient wisdom. The Ancient
Greeks called the sapphire the jewel of the Sun God Apollo. The blue
stone was worn when consulting Apollo’s Oracle at Delphi in order that
the questioner might have the wisdom to understand the answer given.
Sapphires are a symbol of integrity and are a good
counterbalance to cynicism and less desirable aspec
effective for the speedy and positive resolution of all legal matters
and all issues concerning justice and officialdom. Rough tumble stone
sapphires are far cheaper and just as effective as the fabulous gems
Lazuli, blue lace agate, the clear communication
crystal enabling us to speak the truth with kindness, are other crystals
of September.
September’s colour is light blue and
its fragrances include, lemon verbena, peach and vanilla.
August 2017 News and Updates
20th August
August 21 is the day of a rare total Solar eclipse.
In mythology Solar eclipses have been
described in China as a dragon eating the sun and arrows were fired
against him. In Africa, a snake was blamed for eating the sun. In
Tahiti, more benignly the sun and moon were seen as making love and
unlike in many lands where it was feared, the eclipse here was a
favourable sign. Those who could predict eclipses in earlier times
wielded great power because they would promise to restore the sun in
return for rich rewards.
The August 21 total eclipse of the Sun can be seen in
Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The eclipse will
begin over the Pacific Ocean and will reach the coast of Oregon at
Lincoln Beach just west of Salem, at 09:04 local time, reaching its
height at 10.16 am local time. From here, the Moon's central shadow will
move inland and from west to east ending near Columbia, South Carolina
at 2.44pm EST.
A partial Solar Eclipse can be viewed in the rest of
the US and Canada, the UK and Western Europe generally, North and East
Asia, North and West Africa, most of South America, the Pacific,
Atlantic and the Arctic Circle. But even if you cannot physically see
the total Solar eclipse in your region at all, this powerful cosmic
event that can be viewed on the Internet as it occurs, releases an
energy throughout the world that is perfect to remove obstacles from
your life and make a dream come true.
A Ritual for the Solar Eclipse on August 21 wherever you
live in the world.
You will need:
A place where you can see the full or partial eclipse
or watch it on You Tube or an online source.
A sparkling yellow crystal such as citrine or clear
Just before the eclipse right through till the sun
reappears fully. You can synchronise your time frame to fit with one of
the timings of the full or partial eclipse in any other region.
The Ritual:
Watching the eclipse begin as it gets darker,
hold the crystal in your closed hands saying Darkness from light,
But soon once more to grow, The power of this eclipse I then shall
In the darkness still holding the crystal say,
All obstacles be carried away, lost forever in the dark, And when
the light returns, On my new journey I’ll embark.
As the light, returns slowly open your hands so
by the time the sun is bright your hands are open.
Toss the crystal high three times, catch it and
say, Only light now remains, This dream of mine (name) I shall
Carry the crystal in a gold purse as a talisman
of good fortune. Hold the crystal whenever you doubt your dream
saying the third set of words
18th August
Too many tragic attacks on innocents, now
Barcelona suffers and our hearts and blessings go out to those in
Barcelona, remembering also those in other cities who in the previous
months and years have suffered loss or whose family have been injured
needlessly by wanton evil. There are no excuses for such wickedness and
it is understandable to despair and fear going to places such as
theatres, restaurants, concerts or on holiday overseas.
Yet if we restrict our lives, terrorism has won and
we have lost our freedom, so we have to go on, being vigilant but not
constantly looking over our shoulders or staying indoors.
It may seem useless lighting candles and sending
blessings. Yet every positive energy however small, added to the cosmos
in the name of hope, is a statement in belief that we as individuals and
families who are lucky enough to be together still, cannot and do not
give up that flickering beacon of faith that the world must become a
better place for our children and grandchildren.
As darkness falls, light a white candle in a
darkened room. Say, I send this beam of light to all who have
suffered and lost loved ones in Barcelona and those who have also
lost loved ones or been injured in previous terrorist attacks.
Insignificant seems the flame, dark seems the world, yet must we
believe light can prevail over darkness.
Blow softly three times in the candle so the
flame flickers and say, The candle flame flickers, fades, but is not
extinguished.
Sprinkle salt into the flame saying Turn away the
face of hatred and division. Let light prevail. Let us not lose
faith or cease to smile at strangers.
Sprinkle a second pinch of salt in the flame
saying May the flame of love and peace like this candle flame burn
in the darkness, a single beacon of hope we dare not allow to go
Leave the candle to burn through
Happy FullBlueberry Moon
Happy Full Moon in Aquarius from Cassandra and Debi on
August 7 at 18.10 UTC.
It is called in the Native North American
tradition, reflecting the changing land, growth and seasonal patterns,
Blueberry Moon (my favourite) Sturgeon Moon, Moon when all things ripen,
Full Green Corn Moon and Wheat Cut Moon and so it is a moon of ripeness,
readiness and abundance, energies that ripple throughout the entire
Aquarius may seem a strange bedfellow for a rich
passionate full moon but the full moon energies bring power and most
importantly impetus to focus on some of those brilliant Aquarian schemes
waiting in the Out tray for expression. So as Aquarian ingenuity and
inventiveness is propelled from drawing board to dynamic action by the
burst of Moon power, Aquarian energies ensure the powerful lunar
energies are directed wisely, where and how they are most needed. A
partial eclipse too for clearing the emotional clutter we trip over on
our way to putting that new approach to stagnant problems into practice.
For the full moon in Aquarius is one that moves life
forward in unique ways, furthering original ventures and bringing the
success of cherished inventions and money-spinning schemes. It is good
for developing or rekindling friendships pushed into the background by
time or circumstances, for developing your special gifts and talents in
your own way, not by emulating others however seemingly successful and
for exploring or learning alternative medicine. A time for independent
thought and action no matter how much you love and are loved, in those
areas where you need to make your mark and perhaps explore new options.
Beware of trying to balance or over-compensate for
the mood swings, emotional pressures or prejudices others throw at you.
Avoid getting impatient or cranky however understandable with the drama
kings and queens, just state your own opinion quietly but firmly and
leave them to finish Act 3 without you as the unwilling audience.
Cambiel, the tall shadowy Guardian Archangel of
Aquarius, protects us by day and night from our own mistakes as well as
external dangers. Appeal to him around this full moon to give you the
wisdom and detachment to step back from pressures to make immediate
decisions if you are not ready. Once you do know what you want, using
head as well as heart to show the right way forward, progress calmly and
without doubt steadily and unhesitatingly to implement your decision
even if the path ahead seems lonely or you have to step away from the
approval of others.
His candle colour is dark blue or purple, his
crystals amethyst, blue lace agate and any zircon and his fragrances
benzoin, lemon, rosemary and violet.
May this Aquarian full moon illuminate your life and
give you the assurance you are on the right track and can trust your own
Happy August
Welcome to August, known as the lucky month, from
Cassandra and Debi.
Named after Augustus Caesar, the first of the
Roman emperors, because a number of lucky events in his life happened in
August. It became regarded as a fortunate month for Rome, because during
that month, Augustus Caesar three times entered Rome in triumph and
Egypt was brought under the authority of the Roman people after Augustus
Caesar defeated Mark Antony and Cleopatra.
The popular boys’ name Augustus comes from the Latin
word Augustus which means great and worthy of respect.
August in the modern world is regarded as a good
month for reversing bad luck or loss, for gaining opportunities
previously denied and the opening of doors that have been closed, for
learning healing techniques and starting fitness regimes, for the
fulfillment of earlier plans and projects that were delayed, for getting
what is owed and finding or recovering what is lost.
Flowers of August.
Its special flowers are the Gladiolus and the Poppy.
The gladiolus, or ‘sword lily,’ represents loving
remembrance of people who have passed away as well as recalling kind
deeds done to us by the living as well as our beloved ancestors and
signifies also calm and integrity.
In the Language of Flowers, the Gladiolus indicates
that the heart is being pierced with love and therefore the flower
suggests that lovers should be careful to avoid infatuation, unwise
temptations, obsessive love and of holding on to love that is
destructive or is over with no chance of revival.
The other flower of August is the poppy. The red
poppy is mainly associated with Remembrance Day on November 11, but in
August signifies pleasure, the white poppy lasting peace and consolation
after loss while the yellow poppy brings the fulfilment of wishes for
wealth and success.
Crystals for bringing good luck in August
Jade, peridot, moss agate and opal.
The August Angel is Hamaliel, the
Perfectionist, surrounded by misty forest green.
Qualities Hamaliel encourages are: going the extra
mile for perfection, attention to detail, persevering with routine but
necessary tasks through to the end, reliability. She also advocates
reorganizing the home or workplace to make it more efficient, trying new
health supplements and alternative treatments especially where
conventional medicine is not working, starting a new budget and dealing
with crises old and ongoing logically and without panicking rather than
burying our heads in the sand or running around like a headless chicken.
Her challenges are avoiding fussing over nothing,
hypochondria, becoming over obsessed by details and missing the bigger
picture, setting yourself impossible targets and refusing to accept
anything or anyone less than perfect, or trying to force children or
partners along a road which may not be right for them.
An August Spell for amazing good luck
You will need:
A lucky charm, medallion or favorite jewellery or
crystal. Green aventurine is especially lucky.
An incense stick in a holder, preferably in a flower
fragrance.
A small dish of salt
A green candle
A dish of soil.
Saturdays, the day of Cassiel the Archangel who
brings good fortune
The Spell:
Put the charm, jewellery or crystal in front of
the candle.
Light the green candle and say Good luck be mine.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt into the candle and say
Burn bright and light the way to amazing good fortune.
Light the incense from the candle and, holding it
in your hand like a smoke pen, write in circles in the air round the
charm Good luck be mine and say the words at the same time.
Write and speak faster and faster even if the
letters are jumbling and when you can write no faster, plunge the
burning end of the incense stick into the soil and say Good luck is
Burn the candle through and then wear or carry
the charm, jewellery or crystal and keep it with any lottery tickets
or whenever you need good luck, saying the words Good luck is mine
as you touch it.
Tip away the remaining salt under a running tap
repeating Good luck is mine and crush the incense stick and bury it
in the soil in a plant pot or the garden.
Happy Lughnassadh (or Imbolc in the southern hemisphere)
Welcome from Cassandra and Debi to
the Festival of Lughnassadh in the Northern hemisphere
In the old traditions the willing offering by the
Grain god of his life to be made into the first loaf of the first
harvest, Christianised as the Lammas loaf.
Welcome also to the mirror festival, Imbolc
in the Southern hemisphere, the first stirring of life after
winter, the fire in the belly of the maiden goddess to awaken passion
for life and love and health and joy returning, the first growth of new
life psychologically and emotionally, that became Candlemas, the
festival of the returning of the lighter days in later traditions.
As harvest approaches wherever you live in the world,
think what you really want and the sacrifices you need to make to allow
your dreams to bear fruit. If life is unfair or seems dark and hopeless,
reach across the world to where the maiden goddess Brigit in the old
myths imprinted deep within us, is already melting sorrows with her
willow wand, letting fears, obstacles and doubts likewise melt away.
The twin themes of harvest sacrifice and the revival
of the land after winter, are part of the ever- turning cycle of the
year, both focused on sometimes seemingly impossible desire all shall
have enough for their needs and a little more and that the wellspring of
inspiration within us may sing anew.
We need not sacrifice our dreams with the cutting
down of the grain, though all did not grow, rather give up what is not
good for us or worrying over what never can be or can be no more. In
their place, we must plant the seeds of new plans we can nurture in the
months ahead. We hope that that with diligence and sheer hard work not
miracles, we can as Lughnassadh replaces Imbolc in the Southern
hemisphere in six months’ time and Imbolc heralds the future Lughnassadh
in the Northern world, we reap the rewards not of bounty falling from
the heavens as we sit in our deck chairs and pray, but the fruits of our
own well-earned endeavours.
Light twin white and golden yellow candles for
Imbolc and Lughnassadh and say, I will succeed. I spread also my
abundance great or small to others in need, not clutch it to me in
fear or greed.
Sprinkle a few grains of dried sage or rosemary
in each flame, leaving the candles to burn, in a safe place.
When the candles are burned through, scatter a
quarter of the herbs outdoors to be blown by the wind or lie fallow,
bury a quarter in the earth, cast a quarter in flowing water and use
the final quarter in cooking making a wish for yourself and another
wish for someone who deserves a lucky break or helping hand saying,
I take in hope and plant my dreams that they may come true, I seek
not ease but blossoming life anew.
Eating your wishes traditionally gives you the power
to make them come true.
Now do something fun and creative and then as the
grains of your gifts grow in the six months ahead, so you may find
you can make an income from what you enjoy most, find true love,
conceive a healthy child when you had given up hope, move to the
place you most want to be-or experience just the pleasure of small
harvest treasures, rejoicing as you help others also to fulfil their

Happy Full Moon in Capricorn
Happy Full Moon in Capricorn from Cassandra and Debion
July 9 at 04.07 UTC which means that in some areas of the world you will
see it on 8th.
It is called the Full Buck Moon in a number of Native North American
traditions, as the time when antlers on stags were full grown or Thunder
Moon because of the prevalence of sudden storms. Therefore, though it is
a stable full moon, its power should not be underestimated, for with
goats and stags alike you can’t take undue liberties and you too may
need to set your boundaries and say enough is enough. Back off.
However unusually for a full moon this is a time to proceed slowly, to
wait until you are sure and only then act decisively and don’t waver,
remain silent until you have checked your facts rather than speaking
impulsively and regret it afterwards and conserve your resources instead
of splurging, unless you are making what you know is a sound investment.
The angel who rules this moon is Anael or Hanael,
guardian of the West Wind and of love and fidelity who says value
existing love and friends rather than seeking new exciting ones, for
sometimes familiar can be best in the long term when instant passion or
gratification has faded.
This moon gives a boost to whatever is solid, business ventures and slow
growing investments, advising perseverance to overcome obstacles. It is
a good moon too for laying down burdens, not expecting instant
resolution but accepting that there are people or situations where you
must very gently let go. This work will continue spontaneously on the
waning moon.
It is moon of wise caution regarding people and situations, for all
plans and detailed preparations, exploring your family tree and maybe
finding that diligent detective work pays off quite spectacularly,
taking financial advice, reviving old friendships, spending time with
older relatives and for also for any slow moving official matters.
Avoid mean people, socialising for the sake of it, getting bogged down
in routine and taking on responsibilities that are not yours or that you
will later resent.
Anael’s colours are indigo, brown and rich green, her
crystals garnet, ruby and titanium aura and her fragrances, cypress,
magnolia, myrrh and hyacinths.
If you are starting over again, this moon will enable you to make the
first tentative steps and to know that long-term is the way forward.
Hold on if you doubt or despair for as this moon wanes so you can step
by step rebuild. An excellent moon for the release of money that has
been tied up or disputed being released in the coming weeks.
If you need stability or the regrowth of resources, love or trust, try
this ritual.
You will need:
A small round black stone and a small drawstring
bag or purse.
After dark on full moon night or a night or two after when the moon
energies and light are still bright, close your hands around the dark
stone and say, Wise Mother Moon, as you reach your height I give to you
this burden I no longer wish to carry with blessings, asking you to
transform it in your own time and way.
Bury the stone or crystal in the ground or a
plant pot, saying, Kind Mother Moon, I wrap this burden in your dark
warm cloak of night and offer it to your sister, Mother Earth with
blessings.
Now wash your hands and using your power hand
(the one you write with), hold the white stone up to the moon and
say: Blessed am I by Mother Moon who leaves only peace and harmony.
Carry your white stone in a bag until you feel
completely safe and can see the light at the end of that tunnel and
then cast it in flowing water.
Happy Moon Days.
Happy July 2017
Welcome to July from Cassandra and Debi
Formerly called Quintilus, the fifth month in the early Roman
calendar, the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar named July after himself. It
became the seventh month in the new Julian calendar Caesar created in
46BC, helped by Sosignes, the Alexandrian astronomer and philosopher.
Julius Caesar claimed this month as his own and so first made its
association with power and high ambitions when he linked the Emperors
with the Father God Jupiter.
July has continued this association with acquiring power, achieving
ambitions of any kind, leadership, maintaining high principles that are
worth fighting for, acquiring traditional knowledge, seeking justice,
especially where the odds are stacked against you, aiming for fame by
entering talent shows, reality television series, or joining a drama
group, orchestra , group or choir just for pleasure, for the success of
all creative ventures, applying for promotion or a pay rise, marriage
proposals and exotic or long distance holidays and adventures, for
increasing prosperity through developing talents and for increased
potency especially where there are fertility issues.
The July flower is the Larkspur. Larkspur, a form of
delphinium, was said to have had protective energies and as well as
being used to heal wounds, traditionally kept away ghosts and venomous
creatures, reptilian, insect and human. Bunches of larkspur were also
hung in stables to prevent animals being stolen or injured by predators.
However, larkspur is poisonous if absorbed.
As well as larkspur, other plants of the month are asters, dahlias,
marigolds, passion flowers, potted palms, sunflowers and all
golden-leafed or very tall trees.
The colour of the month is gold, its crystals, orange
carnelian, clear crystal quartz and golden topaz. Its incenses are
frankincense, copal and orange.
The angel of July is the golden Verchiel, the Joy
Bringer and a Wish angel, who tells us July is the best month for
overcoming financial losses or setbacks and winning against negative
people and bullies through personal effort and determination while
maintaining your own high ethics. However, avoid being tempted to
overspend or over- emphasize your qualifications and expertise, over
indulging in food or alcohol or starting an affair you may regret by
next month.
Here is a special ritual to begin in July to
wish for what you most want, whether that ambition is for fame and
fortune, to find the right love, have a babe, get enough money to be
free from worry, to travel or just to enjoy quiet times of harmony. You
can use your wish box for wishes great and small, as long as you only
ask once a week on a Sunday and you can repeat an ongoing wish every
You will need
A wooden or metal box with a lid and key
A red candle
Paper and a red pen
A ball of red thread
Sunday evenings weekly
Light the red candle and in red pen write what
you most wish for in the week ahead.
Fold your wish as small as possible. Burn a
length of thread from the ball in the candle flame, then tie three
knots round the wish.
Say, Wish maker, wish maker, this do I yearn.
And kindness I offer in return. Wish maker, wish maker let it come
true - and I will repay it, I promise you.
Put the folded wish into the box, repeating the
words, close, lock the box and blow out the candle.
Repeat weekly, changing the wish whenever
necessary and adding to the box.
When the wish box is full, tie the bundle of
wishes with red thread in three knots, burn them, burying the ashes
under a tree or bush.
Keep the most recent wish in the box and start
Happy Summer Solstice
Happy Summer Solstice, Alban Heruin or Litha,
Wednesday 21st June 2017, from Debi and I to our friends in the Northern
hemisphere.
A time to reach out for your own power or maybe reclaim it at this
sunshine festival of Michael, Archangel of the Sun, splendid in red and
gold with a golden sword and the scales of justice. Make that leap of
faith. You cannot fall or fail with Michael with you.
Be not sad, says the I Ching, be as the sun at midday and look forward
in anticipation of good times and do not waste precious moments worrying
that happiness or love may not last. For there is still plenty of
sunshine ahead and if a day is grey we can make our own sun by spreading
kindness, humour and optimism to all we meet. Make each day meaningful
no matter how hard by one small act to make yourself happy and use the

are more secure and fulfilled.

marriage, fertility of all kinds, especially for older women, for people
ap for happiness, strength, energy,
self-confidence, identity, health, generating your own wealth and career
also for maximising opportunities, seizing chances and
enjoying the present without fretting over the past or worrying about
the future we have power to change.
Midsummer power can be harnessed for tackling seemingly insoluble
problems, for bringing light, life and hope, also for major global
problems such as global warming, famine, disease and preventing cruelty.
Symbols: Brightly-coloured flowers, oak or redwood
boughs, golden fern pollen that is said to reveal buried treasure
wherever it falls, scarlet, orange and yellow ribbons, gold coloured
coins and any gold jewellery that can be empowered at the festival,
golden fruit or vegetables.

The Summer Solstice in the modern world
Make your Solstice water, the most potent Sun
water of the year, leaving water in a gold coloured dish surrounded
by golden-coloured flowers from dusk on the Solstice Eve until Noon
on the Longest Day. This is especially healing and empowering and
you can keep it in clear glass or gold coloured bottles to drink or
add to bath water to give you energy and confidence. If you want to
get pregnant rub the water on your womb and breasts.
Set any small gold items of jewellery where the
Solstice light will illuminate them from dawn till noon on Solstice
morning to transfer the power of the sun at full height into your
life as you wear the jewellery
At any opportunity open your arms wide, palms
outstretched and uppermost and breathe in the sunlight of Solstice
power, drawing it upwards through your whole body. Sigh out
alternately though your mouth any darkness, sorrow or fear and when
you feel full of sunshine, say nine times slowly, I am filled with
the light. I am pure gold.
On the Summer Solstice, greet the dawn by
lighting a lantern or torch just before sunrise, from an East facing
hill or open space and extinguishing it as the first light rises.
You can do this in your garden.
Spend the day in the open air if possible and
then say farewell to the Sun as it sinks , relighting your lantern
to offer the sun power, as the slow ebbing of the year begins.
Cast golden flowers or herbs into the air from a
hill, a handful at a time, on Solstice afternoon, making
empowerments for courage and achievement to the winds. Where they
land and take root represents in the old traditions places of buried
treasure or in this case revealing new or buried talents you can
develop to realise your potential.
Make a small sun wheel garden, either indoors or
out using the flowering herbs of Midsummer vervain and St John’s
Wort. Also good are yellow flowers and sun herbs such as
frankincense, juniper, rosemary and saffron, arrange them in the
form of a wheel and fill in the centre with tiny golden crystals or
glass nuggets. You can breathe in the golden light from your living
sun wheel and it will enrich the days ahead.
Light sun oils, frankincense, juniper, rosemary,
orange or benzoin or burn them as incense to bring the sun power
into your home or workplace.
Happy Summer Solstice.
Happy Winter Solstice
Happy Midwinter Solstice or Alban
Arthuran, to my friends in the Southern hemisphere from Cassandra and
In the Southern world, the Australian Aboriginal creator woman
Warramurrungundjui who emerged from the sea and gave birth to the first
people, carried her digging stick and a bag of food plants, medicinal
plants and flowers. Having planted them, she went on to dig the water
holes. Then leaving her children to enjoy the fruits of her work, she
entered a sacred stone so remaining present in her creation.
As the sun is reborn in at Midwinter we are reminded her creations are
constantly renewed. And we too can renew our hopes and dreams for the
future and with courage, patience and determination can make our world
grow fruitful and of beauty and worth.
Focus: For the rebirth of light and hope, for domestic happiness and
security, family togetherness, anything to do with the home, property
an for long term money plans, for patience and for
accepting wh for very old people, for carers, for
welcoming home travellers or estranged people and for restoring
enthusiasm and health in those who are worn down by illness. poverty or
lack of hope.
Globally this is a time for rituals of renewed faith in the face of
despair and cynicism. for work to provide homes and shelter for people,
birds and animals, more efficient and hum the
regeneration of famine or war torn lands.; improving conditions in all
institutions.
Symbols: Evergreen boughs from trees or bushes, gold
coins and jewellery, silver and gold ribbons, anything glittery, tiny
wrapped presents to be opened on the Solstice night (a second excuse for
Christmas fun).
Incenses, flowers and herbs: Bay, cedar, feverfew,
frankincense and myrrh, juniper,, pine , rosemary, sage and all spices,
poinsettias , scarlet and white flowers.
Festival Foods: Roast pork (more recently turkey),
thick meat and vegetable stews, mulled wine, cakes with marzipan and
icing, rich fruit cake and puddings to represent the fruits, grains and

coins hidden within, dates, small oranges and figs.
Candle colours: White, scarlet, gold, purple for what
is being left behind
Crystals: Amazonite, malachite, garnet, snow quartz,
snowflake obsidian, opal aura
Rituals: In many different lands on Midwinter night,
all lights are extinguished at dusk and the Crone Goddess (sometimes the
Three Sisters or Mothers of Fate) in the form of the person representing
her, invites those present to walk into the darkness with her, an act of
pure surrender and faith that light will return.
Ways of Marking the Festival in the Modern world
On the shortest day light as the day fades,
either alone or with a group of friends or family, light from a
small central gold candle a circle of white candles. lighting one
from the other, Then say, I\we will walk into the darkness in total
trust, knowing that the light will return.
Extinguish the candles one by one round the
circle in reverse order of lighting till only the central candle is
Wait in the growing darkness, trusting all will
be well and not worrying about the future.
When you are ready relight each candle one from
the other beginning from the central gold one, naming for each
candle relit what you\the person lighting it seek/s as enlightenment
and the light you\they will offer the world in return.
Alternatively light a dark coloured candle on
Solstice eve or the night of the Solstice day to represent the past
that is gone or matters that now must be accepted. Put salt in the
flame. From it light a white or gold candle for the future and then
extinguish the dark candle. Let the white or gold candle burn,
allowing the cosmos to send what you most need.
Make or buy small dried herb sachets or bath
products for friends and family to say, I appreciate you.
As darkness falls create a small fire outdoors or
in a tiny metal pot and burn dried rosemary or sage in a big white
candle embedded in soil from Mother Earth.
As you toss on each fragrant handfuls or pinches
of herbs into the fire or candle, name someone who cannot be with
you and those causes dear to your heart that will benefit from the
reborn power of the sun.
On Solstice night fill a metal bowl with cold
water and either alone or with friends or family in the age-old
tradition take it in turns to drip wax from candles on to the
surface of the water. Use candles where the colour goes all the way
through, one in each hand.
Either ask specific questions or allow the images
to suggest opportunities in the weeks ahead. You will see a moving
image as the molten wax falls on the surface of the water and a
second more permanent image as the wax sets. The first will indicate
an area of life or situation that will bear fruit over the coming
days and weeks the second ways in which you can maximise the
energies of the ascending light of the season
Wash out the bowl between readings if you want to
ask more questions.
Happy Midwinter and a glorious rebirth
Blessings to all affected by the West London tower
block infernoand on all their brave rescuers, those who have lost
their lives, been injured or have seen all they possess go up in flames.
Mercifully few of us can imagine the fear and suffering of those trapped
in a high building, not least those seeking desperately to save their
children or elderly people with limited mobility trying to escape. All
we can do is to send money to relieve some of the worries of those who
are unhurt but whose homes have been destroyed, campaign for better
conditions for the rescue services, doctors and nurses who deal with the
aftermath of tragedies all too often and to insist on safe homes for
This tragedy does put into perspective for those of us unscathed by this
and other recent awful events, what are sometimes relatively
insignificant worries, petty grievances and vague dissatisfactions that
cloud our minds and toxify our thoughts. For we who are alive and well
and fretting over trivialities, as I was when I heard the news of the
fire, as I am trying to complete to me the most important project in the
entire known cosmos and beyond, we are reminded of what really matters,
the gift of life. A day then to give thanks, even if times are not easy,
for those we love who may sometimes drive us crazy but are going to walk
through the door tonight or text or mail us, time to forget old
quarrels, coldness and divisions with family and friends. A day to
rejoice in being alive and to take a break from the 24/7 rat run to pay
the bills and give the family what they want but maybe not urgently need
and to be glad we can hear the birds or the symphony of roaring traffic.
We are the lucky ones. The world will still turn if I switch off my
computer for an hour. I will walk in the little country lane behind the
houses and welcome the beauteous afternoon.
Happy Full Strawberry Moon
Happy Full Strawberry Moon in Sagittarius
Happy Full Strawberry Moon in Sagittarius on June 9 at 13.10
UTC. It is so called because the Algonquin people marked its appearance
as the time to gather ripening fruit. In Europe, it is also linked with
seasonal growth as the Rose or Honey Moon and so is a moon of reaching
out for whatever life offers wherever you live in the world and adapting
to maximize advantages and overcome setbacks. This is the moon of
optimism even in the face of recent tragedies and divisions that reminds
us we all see the same moon and are warmed by the same sun.
The Archangel of the Full Strawberry Moon is Adnachiel, the angel of
learning and exploration with bright yellow robes. He stirs in us the
desire for travel and exploration, both physical and in terms of
expanding our horizons to reach out for what given effort and faith can
still be possible, He offers clear vision, wide perspectives,
flexibility, open-mindedness, enthusiasm and creativity especially in
A time to visit those places, maybe even off the main highway you
regularly travel, about which you have always wondered (even mini-
adventures can be exciting), house moves, trying new sports and leisure
activities, learning new things just for the pleasure of it or to change
a career that no longer inspires you. Traditionally, this moon is a time
for finding lost pets or if your pet has passed over, visiting a rescue
centre to see who needs a place in your heart.
Plan that major trip of a lifetime or an impromptu weekend away from it
all, no mobile phones, tablets or computers. The world will still be
there when you return but you will maybe have rediscovered the real
priorities of fulfilment and those we hold dear rather than the 24/7
treadmill of achievement that can blinker our joy. What we regret most
is what we never tried and now the energies offer that impetus to say
Why not and to explore those uncharted waters and mystical places even
budget style.
You will feel the stirring of excitement as your mind starts walking
towards adventures great and small and after every small foray into
pleasure and leisure, exploration can become a delightful habit.
Seize the moment, believe even if things are bad they will get better if
you reach out and make that one brave move. Almost anything is possible
given ingenuity and realism and if you can’t travel far right now, make
a day of fun and laughter in the full moon period, vowing each day of
the coming month to make yourself happy in a small way. That happiness
will spread like ripples in a pool and will reawaken and dust off our
inner infant ready to create joy in the simplest yet most profound ways.
But watch what you say and how you say it, for tact goes out of the
window with this moon and don’t throw out the baby with the
bathwater-wait till the moon wanes and see if you feel the same. Beware
also being tempted by too good to be true offers or assuming the grass
is greener on the other side of the fence.
It may be when you restore the fun in your life you find you are with
the right people in the right place and can explore the amazing, quirky
world together and reawaken the half-buried yet infinite possibility
that once seemed so clear-and can still be attained as the Strawberry
moon reopens the gateway to adventure.
The colours of the Sagittarian moon are bright yellow, the crystals
turquoise, ruby (relatively cheap if you buy the beautiful unpolished
form) and lapis lazuli and the fragrances sage and sandalwood.
Happy, happy Moon from Cassandra and Debi
On this sad day as another senseless act of terrorism has
befallen London and in recent days in Manchester and Kabul, I send my
blessings and prayers to those whose loved ones lost their lives and to
all who were injured in the attacks.
Tonight, in whatever time zone you live, as
darkness falls, light a white candle near an uncurtained window so
the image of the candle is reflected in the glass. Say, I send this
beam of light to spread peace throughout the world.
Blow softly three times in the candle so the
flame flickers and say There is not enough darkness in the world to
put out the light of a single candle.
Sprinkle salt into the flame saying Turn away the
face of hatred and division.
Sprinkle a second pinch of salt in the flame
saying I dedicate this light to all who have suffered the effects of
terrorism in whatever land and tonight especially remember those in
London, Manchester and Kabul. May peace one day prevail on Earth
that our children and grandchildren and their descendants may wake
and walk without fear in unity.
Leave the candle to burn through.
Happy June 2017
Happy June from Cassandra and Debi
June is named after Juno Roman Goddess of
marriage, women, pregnancy and childbirth and of mothers. She was Queen
of the deities and married to Jupiter, of whom it was said she was the
Her month is therefore traditionally considered most
fortunate for marriage, no coincidence that the month number 6 is that
of Anael, Archangel of lasting love. Like Hera, her Ancient Greek
equivalent, Juno’s sacred creature is the peacock., whose tail feathers
are said to protect against the Evil Eye.
Juno’s symbols are the lily, formed in myth from her
maternal milk and the fig, a natural aphrodisiac. Figs from her temple
trees were specially prized by women who wished to conceive.
June is good for all matters of marriage and love
commitment, fidelity, partnerships of all kinds, fertility, peace and
prosperity. Above all if you are not in a love relationship it is a
month for realizing you are complete within yourself and of great worth,
for deciding what would make you happy-and going for it alone, rather
than waiting for the right person to complete the equation. Often they
then turn up when least expected.
The special colour of June is green
and crystals emerald, jade, mother of Pearl and all
