Emporiblog - August Full Moon 2022

-

Hello all!! We have a Full Moon post for you today!


This month's Full Moon will be in Aquarius and will be the last super Moon of the year!! In the UK, it will be full at 1.36 am on the 12th of August 2022.

This is also called the Sturgeon Moon. This name comes from the Algonquin Native American tribe's calendar when there are huge numbers of this fish to be caught in North American lakes at this time.

Other names that this full moon has been given are:

- Black Cherries Moon
- Corn Moon
- Flying up Moon
- Harvest Moon
 - Mountain Shadows Moon
- Ricing Moon

As this is the final super moon of the year, it means that all of the usual attributes are amplified from a magickal point of view. Things can get taken to extremes.
Full moons are used to rule and boost most kinds of magic, but are especially used for:

- manifesting, 
- banishing, 
- protection and 
- psychic abilities.

From a scientific point of view it is the phenomenon whereby the moon is closest to the Earth in it's cycle (perigee), so seems so much bigger and closer to the human eye. It has a very powerful effect on the tides.

During the full moon, you may feel that your psychic abilities are heightened, it is a time to evaluate what is working in your life and what isn't, expect break-throughs and epiphanies in your life, you will be asked to look at situations from another angle, practice self-care, be disciplined - especially with yourself, expect to feel motivated in ways you have never thought of before, objectivity is a keyword for this full moon.

Emporiblog - November Full Moon + Total Lunar Eclipse 2022

Hello all!! Don't be confused by the picture, all will be revealed!! This month's Full Moon in Taurus ♉ will be accompanied by a total Lunar Eclipse!! So, with the total lunar eclipse, and a meteor shower to boot, energies are quite fraught this month, and that counts as the energies within you too. This turbulent time is said to activate your inner rebel, that little voice within you that says 'what if we just...' Authority will grate on you, especially if it is misused and power is being abused, and this will prompt you to start flouting the rules. There is lots of incoherent stuff in your mind at the moment, the Moon calls you to surrender that, the eclipse calls you to do so fully and without abandon. Start marching to the sound of your own beat!  We need to shift this out of the way, so that we can align with our purpose. Sitting quietly tonight, letting everything go and embracing what is left will allow you to do this successfully.  You have probably

An Egg Cleanse involves using an Egg to cleanse your body of negative energies. It can be used to see if someone has sent negative energy to you and can be turned into a Return To Sender (RTS) once you've read your Egg. A quick history The practice of Egg Cleansing is thought to have come from Mexico and Mesoamerica and is called La limpia  in Spanish which means the cleanse .
