Junes Super Full Moon follows the Summer Solstice 2013

Welcome again to my blog. . .
As the months fly by June is in full swing and the Summer Solstice is just around the bend. As the weather starts to heat up the activities become  a little more than difficult for me as heat is not my best friend these days. We have had a easy spring as far as weather goes but now the thunder storms and rains have brought much discomfort to the northern mid west states.  Thunder storms leave high humidity in the forests and it becomes a steam bath of sorts. We have had a most pleasant northern breeze which brings a moist coolness to the shade so it's not at it's hottest temperatures as of yet. One thing it does bring is the Summer Solstice on June 21st and the Super Full Moon there after on June 22-23rd.

The Full moon falls on June 23, 2013 at 11:32 UTC (6:32 a.m. CDT in the U.S.). Thus, for many, the moon appears about as full in the June 22 evening sky as it does on the evening of June 23. This full moon is not only the closest and largest full moon of the year. It also presents the moon’s closest encounter with Earth for all of 2013. The moon will not be so close again until August, 2014

Astronomers call this sort of close full moon a perigee full moon. The word perigee describes the moon’s closest point to Earth for a given month. Two years ago, when the closest and largest full moon fell on March 19, 2011, many used a term we’d never heard before: supermoon. Last year, we heard this term again to describe the year’s closest full moon on May 6, 2012. Now the term supermoon is being used a lot. Last month’s full moon – May 24-25, 2013 – was also a supermoon. But the June full moon is even more super! In other words, the time of full moon falls even closer to the time of perigee, the moon’s closest point to Earth. The crest of the moon’s full phase in June 2013, and perigee, fall within an hour of each other.

This is a time of year to set your intentions of the things you want to pass and bring in the newness of your desires. I have started on a old/new as well. I have been joining Jennifer Hoffman in Raising our Vibes with 21 days of Vibrational Transformation and I also started a new program with Burt Goldman in Quantum Jumping II. I'm am getting huge results from both programs and well on my way for setting new goals in my life. This is my year to move forward and become the best that I can be in all areas of my life. Now if I could figure out what I want to be when I grow up, it would all be great. I know I'll get there. . . and I'll keep you informed as well. . .
In the mean time my work as a restaurant manager and primitive artist keep me busy making, inventing, using my creativity to share wonderful things with you so I hope you
have a most wonderful day and enjoy the solstice and supermoon,
till next time

2011 Summer Solstice

The Solstice is June 21st. The picture of my last post always brings me to this day, when the fae dance in the moonlight.
I spotted a doe this afternoon with twin fawns in the woods just beyond the swing and when one of her young captured sight of me, he spun around and yelled "Maa" as he skipped back to her side. My chest swelled with laughter but I didn't dare make a sound to frighten them away. She kept peaking around the tree to see if I was still there but I stood like a statue so that I may watch and enjoy them just a little bit longer. 
As I sat on the deck overlooking the fields of corn growing the magic of the night started to take the stage. The lightening bugs lite up the back yard in all their magnificence and the bull frogs started their hallow whisper as the sun fell into the darkened night. Then the tree leaves started to dance and a brisk rain fell upon the land. It ended just as fast as it started, hardly leaving any wetness behind. The first day of summer will bring the last (3rd in June) eclipse of the month and a clearing we are all looking forward to.
I will not be returning to Faire this year as I can only work one day of the week ends but it will allow me the time I need to do some clearing of my own and to craft for the fall season. I look forward to sharing the things I am working on and will post again soon.
In the meanwhile, enjoy the Solstice and watch closely for the fae as they will be about the land enjoying the moonlight. I leave them milk and honey, a rare treat for them, for the favors of watching over my plantings for the season.
Merry Solstice. . . Blessed be. . .

June's Jumpin with Activity

Are you ready for June? Wow, it's starting off with a blast, the New moon and a Partial Solar Eclipse on the 1st. Then the Full Moon brings a Lunar Ecl1pse which will occur on the 15th. About the time things start to settle down it will be the Summer Solstice is on the 21st. Oh and definitely don't forget Father's Day the third Sunday of the month. Saturn goes direct by the 3rd week which will help us along with decision making and catching up on things we've allowed to lag. Watch out for some storms as the eclipse will turn the tides and bring in the winds. Many things could change very suddenly if your not paying attention.
Join me in keeping those in the south, from Oklahoma, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, in your prayers daily. Michigan and Illinois as well could use some prayers. Our planet is attempting to heal and could use all the help she can get from us (and maybe from the little folk as well). Enjoy the month and think good thoughts. . .because thought become things. . .
