Apologies for the delay in posting. Last week was super challenging for me, but I made it through. :-)
In the global North, we have just entered the Harvest Season. Autumn starts earlier in the pagan/Wiccan/witch calendars than it does in the "mundane" calendar, and we transition from the fires of Summer to the cool refreshing waters of Autumn. We were welcomed in by the Aquarius full moon, which probably gave us some opportunities to get out and schmooze with other people; even if taking advantage of such opportunities was a taller order than we were prepared to meet at that time.
Tomorrow (August 8th) marks the peaking of energies surrounding the Lion's Gate, which features an alignment of the sun (in Leo) with Sirius (the "Dog Star") and Orion's belt. There are various esoteric and metaphysical explanations for what happens here, but what they all boil down to can be summarized as: this is the best day for your Fairy Godmother to grant your wishes. Be bold in your Asks to the Universe. Envision the best harvest ever for you and yours!
We received a preview of our personal Harvests to come for this season on Lammas, the Loaf Mass, on August 1st. This is/was the first of the Harvest festivals, which is traditionally associated with wheat and corn and that which can be baked from these staples. Returning to the pagan/Wiccan/witch traditions, we are also often greeted by a challenge at this time: What do you need to Release in order to Receive your full Harvest? Along this line, sacrifices from the first harvest were often made in order to ensure the subsequent harvests were bountiful and abundant.
To help with guidance through this time of Releasing and Receiving, the Intuitive Reading for this month can be viewed here. I will return later in the month with more, as we have a New Moon in Virgo, new planets joining the Retrograde Parade, and a Blue Moon Special at month's end. In the meantime, may your harvests be bountiful and beneficial!
