New Moon in Aquarius “Departures”

“The sea that calls all things unto her calls me, and I must embark. ”

Kahlil Gibran

New Moon in Capricorn “Power Games”

Every lofty position comes with its own expectations and obligations, the loss of personal freedom often being the hidden price that one pays for any position of authority. The temptation that comes with positions of great influence is always that of hubris, both for those who sit at the top, and also for those invisible figures, who move silently in the shadows to manipulate the reins of control.

New Moon in Sagittarius “Thy Will Be Done”

Sagittarius-I Seek: to know all that I can, to experience distant places, in all realms. I am a traveller of far off lands, which exist in earth, in fire, in air and in water. I learn, I gather, I expand my awareness; I delight in all new experiences. I constantly add to my store of knowledge and experience, bringing back tales of adventure and teaching. ©JKG

The New Moon in Scorpio “Shattering Illusions”

In Scorpio, I Desire: to give myself up to the perfect storm of passion and power. I am the yearning hunger of lust, of possession, of revenge, of sorrow and of pain. I am the highest of heights, I am the lowest of lows, all tempests are mine to behold and command. Drink from the peak of my exquisite pain; know both heaven and hell in my arms.

Last Quarter Moon “Fire Starter”

All journeys begin like this; a fragile whisper emerges, fluttering at the edge of now. Brief and hesitant, bathed in sunlight, the glistening thread of adventure weaves itself slowly behind the awareness, one strand at a time, as carefully, something is born, the seed of what needs to come next.

First Quarter Moon “Discovering The Empress”

A unique combination of Art and Story, it is a creative alliance between a writer and an artist, between two friends, and also between two mothers, but most of all, between two women who have come to understand in a most profound way, the inevitability, the importance, and the power of change. The resulting work that has been lovingly crafted from the inspiration of two people who wish to share their gifts with the world.

The New Moon in Libra “Shelter For Any Storm”

I am the power of the bursting seed, dancing in the beckoning void, ripe with limitless potentials. A kaleidoscope of outcomes seduces, invites and tempts you, but be still in the darkness of the Moon. Sense the power of her black womb, and wait. Trust that in the stillness that I, the right “seed” for now, will find you, a vision for your soul to nurture”

The Story of The Hierophant

How vain and brave her dreams of pilgrimage seem now, and as she looks at the reality of the situation, down there on the ground, in the harsh grit beneath her boots, she begins to wonder if her vision is crumbling to desert dust beneath her aching feet. Looking up from the baked earth to scan the scene before her, she feels dejected, almost hoping that a bus with “Home” written on the front will come, motoring happily over the hill, and stop, facing in the opposite direction, to wait for her to climb thankfully aboard.

The New Moon in Leo “Omnia Vincit Amor”

“In the flush of love’s light, we dare be brave. And suddenly we see that love costs all we are, and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free.”

The Daily Oracle Monday October 8th

Burdens are the foundations of ease and bitter things the forerunners of pleasure.
