Today is a time to forgive and forget. Think about the people in your life who recently rubbed you the wrong way. Try and find some peace today with any problems you’ve been having socially. Even if the problem itself cannot be solved with the other person, just let it go.
Focus some time on making your world more beautiful. Clean your room, buy some new mascara, or even just buy some flowers on your way home. Libra gives you the energy to enjoy and be apart of beautiful things.
Find the line between ‘you’ and ‘others’. Boundaries are healthy and Libra is always working on balancing the head and the heart. Realize that you are worth every second you spend on yourself and you are not selfish for participating in self-love.
Lastly, stick to your decisions. It’s now time to be consistent in any new ideas you have. Follow through with your plans and have a great day!
September 16th is the full harvest moon, those of you not living here in the Americas will also have the chance to see the lunar eclipse. Remember now is a good time to recharge the tools of your craft and release any negative vibes or energy you’ve been unable to let go of. Also don’t be afraid if parts of your life seem to be shifting out of balance right now. We are transitioning into Autumn, mercury is still in retrograde, and this means everything is in a flux. Things are not falling apart, change is simply inevitable, embrace it and you will find it’s much easier to control the outcome once everything finally settles down again
perfect time to let go of / get rid of things that no longer serve you. since aquarius is ruled by uranus, it is also important that we take action towards things we want to change [+ get justice]. think of this full moon as a recharge.
tuesday, august 4th — mercury enters leo
this is more about self expression and self care / focusing on ones self + our own goals rather than the collective / group of others. expressing yourself through communication. we have more confidence with the way we communicate, but should still work on hearing what others have to say.
friday, august 7th — venus enters cancer
lovely time to spend with family / nurturing others that you care about [with leo mercury we’re extroverted w communication + but w cancer venus introverted with expressions of love]. best time to think about what you really want from a love connection — we’re gentler when it comes to love. be gentle with yourself and others.
Algy and his little green dragon friend were feeling the debilitating effects of their long and arduous flight across the plains of Patadragonia, and they agreed that they could travel no further that night.
So once the excitement of the magical shooting star had passed, they simply settled down in the longest patch of dry grass they could find nearby, and snuggled up together to wait out the long, cold night.
Before long, a magnificent full moon glided silently up from behind the mountain tops and gradually flooded the landscape with its ghostly luminescence. The dragon seemed blithely impervious to the bright light and was soon rumbling happily in its sleep, but Algy found that he simply could not fall asleep on such a white night. So, hugging the dragon tightly for warmth, he half dozed in the moonlight, sometimes wondering where he would go if the dragon set off to join a circus, and sometimes reciting poetry quietly to himself:
The Moon was but a Chin of Gold A Night or two ago— And now she turns Her perfect Face Upon the World below—
Her Forehead is of Amplest Blonde— Her Cheek—a Beryl hewn— Her Eye unto the Summer Dew The likest I have known—
Her Lips of Amber never part— But what must be the smile Upon Her Friend she could confer Were such Her Silver Will—
And what a privilege to be But the remotest Star— For Certainty She take Her Way Beside Your Palace Door—
Her Bonnet is the Firmament— The Universe—Her Shoe— The Stars—the Trinkets at Her Belt— Her Dimities—of Blue—
[Algy is quoting the poem The Moon was but a Chin of Gold by the 19th century American poet Emily Dickinson.]
And speaking of scent lockets! We have lightly restocked a bunch of our existing designs, such as Salome, Clockwork, and our beloved Triple-Dagger. These are perfect for enjoying perfume blends that don’t mix well with your skin chemistry: in the locket, they’ll smell just like they do in the bottle!
