Moontime Diary: Waning Moon Phase in Leo

Leo MoonLeo the fixed fire sign

Today and tomorrow the Moon is waning in Leo. An excellent time for cleaning ( the moon is waning) windows and mirrors because the atmosphere is dry and hot which makes it easier to do a good job! Another day, for example an earth or water day, the atmosphere around us is moist and cool. Even at the same temperature an earth or water moon day feels cooler and moister than a fire or air moon day and therefore has a different effect.

Makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?  If you want to find out more about how you can tune your daily routines and well being to the moon, check out the Moontime Diary 2012 .

This moon planning diary gives you daily pointers as to what works best or what should be avoided.  It also lets you know all moon phases, the full and new moons of the year in advance. It helps to be able to plan ahead and choose the best times for your activities and also to avoid the worst times, ensuring great results with less effort. It’s a bit like  fishermen instead of struggling against the tide, they are going out with the tide.

Wish you a wonderful summers day, stay cool, cheers Iris

The Moontime Diary is an astrological moon diary and calendar for 2012, the perfect tool to tune to the moon.

Tuning to the Moon Phase Calendar

Hi to a waxing moon in Gemini on this beautiful light summers day.

Gemini relates to the flowering part of the plant. Tending to your flowers and flowering vegetables (like cauliflower, chamomile, cabbage, nasturtium, broccoli, marigold, sunflower, borage) supports the plants absorption mode on many levels and facilitates healthy growth and abundant flowering.

Borage
Gemini MoonGemini being an air sign makes for a light and bright day, the atmosphere is usually dry and sometimes even glary. It is a good time to air your bedding, dust and vacuum and it is a really great day to clean windows, mirrors and any shiny, hard surfaces. Try it out for yourself .

By eating edible flowers, you supply those nutrients which in turn your body can absorb more easily now. Absorbing, adding, retaining because the moon is waxing.  At the times of Gemini moon, we absorb fat more readily as well!!!

Gemini also rules the lungs! Paint, paint stripper and solvents ect. are more readily absorbed by your lungs when the moon is in Gemini. So if you can avoid inhaling toxic fumes, you do yourself a great favor! Next weekend when the moon is waning and ingresses into Libra (early on Sunday morning) you will find this is a better time for these types of work. Because of being this close to the full moon in Cancer (next Monday afternoon) this absorption and retaining tendency is even stronger now.

However this is a great weekend to socialize with neighbors and friends and on Sunday communication with your family will be quite nurturing. Meditation, breathing and singing exercises are all very beneficent and more effective while the moon is in Gemini – too good an opportunity to miss for any musician.

meditation

This Gemini stimulation is also good to catch up on emails and phone calls, private and business. Trading, news paper adds, shops with interesting goods, garage sales and markets should do well too.

Gemini comes in many disguises; one is the second hand car dealer, great time to shop around for one – a second hand car that is. However the price would be lower Friday next week, when the moon is waning in Virgo – just not sure if the car is still there ….

This moon diary is a most valuable moon planning calendar for almost every action, daily routine,  job and gardening activity. It also is the best selling Astrological Diary for 2012.

Wish you good health and fun cheers Iris

Cancer Moon

The Astrological Moon Time Diary reports today:

Waning Moon in Cancer today and tomorrow

after this heady and intense full moon eclipse, the impulse has changed from waxing/absorbing to waning/releasing and all the tension and emotion can now be released.

The waning moon in Cancer is a fabulous time to eat leafy vegetables ( water element rules the leafy part of the plant) and support your digestive system by drinking bitter tasting teas or eating bitter herbs like Rocket. The bitter taste at the back of your mouth triggers your bile flow which is helping you digest more effectively, particularly meat. The releasing mode of the waning phase also favours lymphatic drainage massage.

Moontime Diary: New Moon in Leo

new moonNew Moon in Leo on Sunday 31 July 2011, 4:41 am

Leo is ruled by the sun and is associated with children, creativity, love relationships, one’s sense of fun and enjoyment of life, gambling, instinct. Leo’s colours are gold, deeper shades of yellow and orange. The Sun’s metal is gold.

Leo’s Crystals:
Rose Quartz: helps to open the heart.
Kunzite: helps to develop humility.
Fuchsite: assists you to recognise your own value.

New Moon – a Time to Set Positive Intentions

Dropping out-dated habits and succesfully replacing them with new and positive intentions and actions is best done every new moon. Setting intentions at a new moon begins a dialogue between yourself and your higher self, sun and moon, spirit and soul, ying and yang, positive and negative, expansion and contraction.
Take a moment and sit down, maybe with a candle burning and a crystal in your hand. Ponder and ask yourself some relevant questions related to issues associated with Leo. Give yourself a bit of time to listen, focus your thoughts, ideas and meditations on positive change and take notes.

Here are some examples:
How can I
• create the power of love? Rose Quartz
• overcome my pride? Kunzite
• express my unique qualities to the world? Fuchsite

The patterns, positive or negative, are set by the first quarter moon and continue to develop throughout the build up phase. A positive attitude towards overcoming obstacles (restrictions from the past) will affect an expansive and constructive period of growth. Reassess the situation, identify necessary changes and integrate your experiences as required.

Full Moon – Be Aware of Tensions

On August 14 the full moon will be in Aquarius and in six months the moon will be full in Leo. At both times your awareness regarding issues and projects initiated now will be coming to a head and a crisis of consciousness might be felt. Lovers, actors and artists may experience new heights of passion through creative expression. Beware of conflicts between you and your loved ones.

After the next full moon, the moon wanes and energies and tensions are released and flow out. This waning phase is the time to do hands-on work, consolidate and minimise, finish one cycle and prepare for the next.

Affirmation: I am accepting everyone with an open and loving heart.

Moontime Diary: New Moon in Aquarius

Set a positive intention on Thursday 3 February 2011

Aquamarine

Greetings to you,

The new moon is the beginning of a new lunar cycle. This time is particularly suited for eliminating unwanted habits and starting new projects. Ask yourself how you can improve those situations and issues associated with Aquarius. Focus your thoughts, ideas and meditations on positive change. Ponder the following and give yourself a moment to listen for the answer. It is best to write it down.

How can I

• Make a positive contribution to the world?
• Meet a group of people who share my interests?
• Work in a job where I can put my inventiveness and ingenuity to good use?

The pattern, positive and negative, set by the first quarter moon continues to develop. A positive attitude towards overcoming obstacles (restrictions from the past) will put into effect an expansive and constructive period of growth. Reassess the situation, identify necessary changes and integrate your experiences as required.

The next full moon in two weeks sees your awareness/project culminating. After that when the moon wanes, energies are released and flow out. This is the time to actually do the work, clear out and consolidate.

Aquarius: As I integrate my experiences I get to see unlimited horizons

I wish you much fun and success with your positive intentions and work on your true potential.

New Moon Blessings

Yours Iris

Full Moon Moontime in Cancer

Greetings,
Tuesday morning the moon moves into Cancer and intensely builds up to a full moon on  Thursday 7:23 am AEST ( Australian Eastern Standard Time) 29* 27′ Cancer.
More rain?
For the upcoming full moon in Cancer I thought it worthwhile to quote the definition of the wird lunatic – and here it is:
Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2010 Douglas Harper
Word Origin & History

lunatic

late 13c., “affected with periodic insanity, dependent on the changes of the moon,” from O.Fr. lunatique  ”insane,” from L. lunaticus  ”moon-struck,” from luna  ”moon” (see luna). Cf. O.E. monseoc  ”lunatic,” lit. “moon-sick;” M.H.G. lune  ”humor, temper, mood, whim, fancy” (Ger. Laune ), from L. luna . Cf. also N.T. Gk. seleniazomai  ”be epileptic,” from selene  ”moon.” The noun meaning “lunatic person” is first recorded late 14c. Lunatic fringe  (1913) was apparently coined by U.S. politician Theodore Roosevelt. Lunatic soup  (1933) was Australian slang for “alcoholic drink.”
Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2010 Douglas Harper
cutting grass
This beautiful medieval woodcut shows ‘fellow lunatics’ at work, cutting grass. Looks insane to me.
Anyway, Tuesday and Wednesday are promising to be intense days, so be aware of family related and emotionally charged behaviour, yours and your loved ones.
Those two days definitely are bad hair dayand it’s good to ostpone washing and cutting your hair until Thursday morning, when the moon moves into Leo, much better time for good colouring and cutting too.
Saturday and Sunday we still can be preoccupied with hair. Perms and exact, longer lasting cuts are promoted with with moon in Virgo.
Messages, bookkeeping and other sorting out jobs are favored as well, so make the best of this weekend and get down to tidying up your office, drawer, computer….
Wish you a great week ahead hopefully dry and healthy.
Many Moon Blessings

Healthy diet and wellbeing with the moon phases

Greetings to you,

today I received an email asking about the dietary aspect of the moon phases.
The principle is simple, during the waxing phase (14 days between new moon and full moon) cells absorb and when the moon is waning (14 days between full moon and new moon) cells release.
Seen from earth, the moon is moving through the 12 signs of the zodiac and takes on their individual flavour. Therefore the absorption or release of nutrients related to that current sign is enhanced at that time.

For example, the Moontime Diary says this Tuesday the waxing moonis in Aries. It also says: fire/ fruit/ protein which means: Aries is a fire element, the fire element relates to the fruit/seed part of the plant and to protein in general.
In Short: when the moon is waxing in Aries, our body best extracts and absorbs nutrients from fruiting/seed  plants. It also absorbs protein really well which sometimes is good to know, particularly for people with allergies. Most allergies are related to body foreign protein and if one is very sensitive, one can avoid over exposure to protein rich foods or pollen. Plant protein from nuts is especially well absorbed when the moon is in a fire sign. If one is into bodybuilding, any protein is better absorbed on these days than on other days.

Thursday this week, the moon is waxing in Taurus – relates to the earth element, to root vegetables and to salt.
In Short:  our body best extracts and absorbs nutrients from root plants. It also absorbs salt really well which sometimes is good to know, particularly if you are on a salt reduced diet. Mineral salts are very well absorbed and hence, these days are good days to balance out deficiencies.

Saturday the moon is waxing in Gemini, an air element, relating to the flower part of the plant and fat. In other words, our body absorbs nutrients supplied by flowering vegetables best, e.g. Broccoli…. and also fat, which of course is good to know when you want to avoid or promote fat absorption.

Water signs relate to the leafy part of the plant and carbohydrates. We then absorb nutrients from leafy vegetable better than on other days and also carbohydrates.

I wish you an enjoyable week, filled with healthy nutrients.

Many Moon Blessings

Greetings and best wishes for the year 2011

This Tuesday the New Moon in Capricorn is the best opportunity for all business people to ponder and formulate intentions regarding business, structure, achievement and social standing. It also is an opportune time to let go of outdated habits  and come up with better ones.  So take some time and ask yourself questions like:

  • What are my goals this coming year, where do I want to be in 6, 12 months 2 years from now?
  • How can I be more effective and achieve my goals?
  • How can I create a win win situation for my family and business?

Think realistically big and write down your thoughts, lay out a strategy and keep the note for next year to see how your higher mind has guided you.

Implementing  new structures and rituals help you to keep you going strong.

Moontime Diary wishes you a fabulous and a successful year 2011 ahead, in best company and health

Many Moon Blessings
