Spirit Animal - Lion

Lion

The lion symbolizes strength, assertiveness, personal power. He shows you how to be assertive without being dominating, how to lead without being aggressive and how to be confident in yourself.  

When the lion comes to you as a spirit animal he can sometimes come with a warning of personal or property safety, so you need to be aware of what’s going on around you, and don’t let yourself be taken in by the glitter that might come from a deal or an offer. He can also show up when you are facing a difficult decision or situation, and he will show you ways to deal with this issue, in a calm yet assertive way.

Lions also represent when you may be feeling overpowered or in conflict with a power and authority figure, it can symbolize external power, authority, forces that dominate or rule parts of your life. So in is time to sit back and look at why you feel so threaten by them or their power. Maybe you need to remember your own power and sit in this energy.

You may also be in need of controlling your temper or your moderate aggressive impulses. For instance, observe if you could really listen to what people have to say before striking back at them. Or explore how to express your needs or anger more openly and constructively to reduce your level of frustration.

September Full Moon

Here's a funny thing about tonight's full moon, normally this full moon is called the Harvest Moon, but that is because it usually falls on and around the time of the Autumn Equinox (Sept 22nd) but as it is this early it has now been given the name of Corn Moon, with next months full moon named the Harvest Moon...now how does that effect us?? it doesn't any more, as these names were given to the moons long ago to assist farmers with their planting and reaping. 

Nowadays we are not that in-tune with this, which is a shame really....

So what are we looking at for this full moon?

Lots and lots of yummy stuff

These last few Full Moons have all been about changes, insights and adjustments to our lives. It was showing us how to set ourselves up for new beginnings, and what it would been for us. This full moon is going to help us with gaining clarity into what our next steps will be and should help to clear up any confusion that has been surrounding this.

This full moon falls in the sign of Pisces with the opposite in Virgo, so creating a tug of war between the "real" world and the world of "dreams" as Piscean energy wants us to forget all about the everyday aspects of life and just deal with the spiritual realms. Virgo energy likes the order and routine of life, so you will find yourself needed it bring yourself back to earth throughout this month, but don't despair as in allowing yourself to float on the spiritual side you will be tapping into the collective unconscious, which can help in bring through strong insights and inspiration.

So enjoy this wonderful full moon, let go and let those creative juices flow

Journey Through the Tarot - Lovers

The Lovers – Six

Upright: Love, union, relationships, values alignment, choices

Reversed: Disharmony, imbalance, misalignment of values

The Lover’s card represents relationships and the decision that we often need to make within them. It often comes up when there is a choice of staying with the old or moving on with a new relationship. Often it can be at a time when a major life change is coming or here and you need to look for either spiritual fulfilment or materialistic. 

When The Lovers card comes up in a reading we know that the decision about a relationship that needs to be made or there is new love on the horizon. It can also indicate the duality of ourselves and how we see this. It talks about being able to find the balance between our negative and positive sides.
