UP AND AT ‘EM!!!!

This is a powerful “get ‘er done” energy, and it is no time for sissies; Queen of Wands doesn’t wait around, and I do believe she and The Emperor expect you to make good use of Mars in Gemini – words and actions working together as you set your Dark Moon intentions. Consider your true heart’s desires, decide what you wish to manifest, and make it your business to plant all the best seeds.

Some well-spoken words (you may use them as mantras, incorporate them into prayers or spells) will certainly be useful at this time. REMEMBER: Everything you say is heard by The Universe as well as yourself, so keep it positive for your own sake! Some strong phrases* for this time:

• I release all that no longer serves me.
• I am spiritually awake.
• I am divinely protected.
• I am open to receive.
• My path is revealed to me.

For planting the seeds of your intentions, I suggest chanting under Hecate’s Dark Moon (she is still up there!), including small (and sincere!) offerings of incense, candles, flowers – whatever you believe She will appreciate from you.

Not much for chanting? Write in a journal.

Not much for writing? Speak it out loud in the shower (double benefit of the shower as a cleansing spell!!), or offer it up silently as you drift off to sleep.

Always remember, the planting method is not as important as the planting itself; garden as you see fit!
