On the eve of every Full Moon we peer into the heavens to determine the course of the planets. The information discovered there, we offer to you here, in the haven we call

"Darkmoon Divinations"

These celestial secrets are gathered and mixed with a single Tarot card selected by means most magical in the effort of preparing a monthly overview of the surprises in store for each of the twelve signs of the Zodiac.

Along with the powerful promise of this potent portent, we also offer a little food for thought concerning the current moonphase and the energies overwhelmingly offered by the universal forces at the time of this particular spoke in the Wheel of the Year.

This makes for a most interesting twist on the ordinary oracle by astrological means, and offers (or at least we think it does...) a slightly different and more revealing perspective where horoscopic hints from the collective cosmos are concerned.

So, select the appropriate astrological image icon to your left and discover what the combined oracles of Tarot and Astrology have to offer you for this particular moonphase, and remember.... these mysteries are pondered and revealed at the time of each new moon, so, you may want to stop back from time to time, because each new moon brings a potential new beginning.



Without further ado, we here in the Garden of the Midnight Moonchild are pleased to present...

Darkmoon Divinations

for the

Candle Moon

(1-23-12 to 2-21-12)

This is a time for Awakening

This is the time when the slow energy of the winter quickens and our thoughts turn towards beginnings...

The beginning of the thaw...

The beginning of a new cycle of growth...

The beginning of that-which-is-to-come after the prolonged rest of the winter darkness.

In history this moon brings the fever of love and is named after the Roman goddess Juno Februa, patroness of the passion of love. To this day February 14th is celebrated as a day of love and dedication throughout much of the world. This moon will also play hostess to many celebrations intended to highlight the promise of a new season of growth and life to come. These celebrations have different names like Imbolc, or Candlemas, or Lupercalia, but they share a purpose. They are a reminder of the first seed of springtide as the Lord of the Forest walks the land to awaken the sleeping plants and animals with an acorn wand.

Whether you know this as the Snow Moon, the Rowan Moon, the Candle Moon, or the Horning Moon, you know the best use of this newly awakened energy is purification and preparation for the rebirth promised in the noticeable lengthening of the days.

This is what I'm saying SweetPea... it's like the whole universe has just yawned and stretched and rubbed her eyes to a brand new morning. What do you usually do with a morning? Wake up, wash up, and wind up to start the whole rest of the day.

So, what needs to awaken in your life?...

Compassion?...

Passion?...

Joy?

Whatever it is... roust it out and splash a little cold water on it. There is no better time than the fresh start of a whole new cycle to re-dedicate yourself to those things that are of the utmost importance to you... so...

Gather your hopes and dreams together...

Sift through them...

Let them run through your fingers like glittering gems while you decide which ones are ready for revival. When you have the ones that offer the biggest and brightest promise for this cycle of regeneration and renewal, haul them out to a place of prominence in your future plans and take the next step, (whatever it may be...), toward achieving these hopes and dreams. Maybe you will need to make a call for more information. Maybe you will need to seek out advice and guidance from others. Maybe you only need to acknowledge their importance by elevating them from dreams to goals. Whatever that "next step" actually is... this is a great time to actually take it.

You awake now?

You sure?

Good!
