• When is the full moon?
• Is the moon void of course?
• Is Mercury retrograde?
• When is the solstice or equinox?

How do these astrological changes impact you?

Moon phases involve the waxing and waning of monthly energy.  Knowing what phase the
moon is in can help you decide when to start a project or when it  is time to seek completion.

Void of course moons can impact new projects and magickal workings.  This is not a time to start anything new.

Seasonal changes are large shifts in the energy of the world that surrounds us.  Like the monthly ebb and flow of energy the yearly ebb and flow of energy can impact your personal energy and success.

Mercury retrogrades are times when the planet mercury appears to be moving backward.  Because Mercury is a planet of communication Mercury retrogrades severely impact our ability to communicate clearly.

Seasonal Changes

When a seasonal shift happens you will be notified in both the "Weekly Happenings" message and the day before the event occurs.

WINTER SOLSTICE -  This is the shortest day of the year.  The seasonal energy is one of introspection and rest.

VERNAL EQUINOX -  This is a time when day and night are equal in length.   The seasonal energy is fresh and abundant.  This is a good time to begin projects.

SUMMER SOLSTICE -  This is the longest day of the year. The energy of the year has peaked and from this point forward the energy shifts toward completing projects.

AUTUMNAL EQUINOX -  This is a time when day and night are equal in length.  This is the time to harvest that which you have been working on all year.

Cross Quarters

Cross Quarters are important for individuals who follow Earth based religions.  The cross quarters are the time between two major seasonal shifts.  There are at least two ways to calculate Cross Quarters.

One is based on a calendar date when this Cross Quarter has been historically observed and is labeled as (Cal).

The second way is by calculating the date using astrology and is labeled (Ast).

For your convenience we offer both calculations. You will be notified in both the "Weekly Happenings" message and the day before the event occurs.
