The New Moon on April 8th, 2024 is in Aries.

A new moon is a time of new beginnings and starting new projects. It’s a time to embark on fresh challenges with courage, determination, and a fighting spirit to accomplish goals you set for yourself. Leadership, adventure, and innovation are also prominent.

This is also a time of the Solar Eclipse and many planets play into this event. Jupiter plays a prominent role in a beneficial way. Pluto, Venus, Mercury, and Chiron also play a part. It’s a time to do inner work, and tune into Love and Light, especially at this time.

Our Beltane ceremony will be held on May 4th, but more on that as we move closer.

The Full Moon of March is on March 25th, 2024 and it is exact at Midnight on March 25th.

This Full Moon is known as the Worm Moon due to the worms and other critters making their appearance known in the softening earth. It’s an indication of Spring’s arrival and often seen as a time of renewal and rebirth.

This Full Moon has the Sun in Aries and the Moon in Libra. This Full Moon is also a Lunar Eclipse and opens us to the eclipse season to come. The Lunar Eclipse may call you to re-evaluate your life and may give you a big picture of what is to come.

The Sun in Aries brings in an ambitious energy and you may find you are getting things done. The Moon in Libra brings a sense of harmony and empathy.

There are some very positive aspects at work during this time. Watch the video to learn more.

Please note that our Spring Equinox ceremony was on March 16th and the replay is still available on Facebook Live on both the Druids of the Light Facebook page.

Blessings of Spring to you!

The March New Moon is on March 10th at 2:00 AM PDT (AZ time).

Astrologically, both the Sun and Moon are in Pisces. It’s a time of new beginnings, so this is a great time to start a new chapter in your life and to see things from different perspectives as you set intentions for the month to come.

Pisces energy is sensitive and intuitive, as well as spiritual, so it’s a great time to get involved in creative and/or spiritual work, and let your imagination run wild. Trust your intuition to lead you into new opportunities and get ready for transformation.

The Pisces New Moon is also offering you a chance to reflect on what you need to cultivate within yourself and to set intentions for emotional healing and spiritual growth. It’s a time of change. Trust that you are being led and stay true to yourself. As you do your inner work, you are opening doors to liberation from the past.

The February Full Moon is on Saturday morning, February 24th, 2024 at 5:30 AM MST.

This is known as the Snow Moon in Native American cultures due to the coldness of this time of year. Other names include the Moon of Ice, the Hunger Moon, and the Storm Moon.

We have a full moon when the Sun and Moon are in opposing astrological signs, and at this time, the Moon is in Virgo and the Sun is just newly in Pisces. The Moon in Virgo is associated with being analytical and methodical and the Sun in Pisces brings in sensitivity and a more intuitive energy. It’s a good time to work on goals methodically and not get overwhelmed. Dedication and focus go a long way. It’s also a great time to go within, both physically out of the cold, as well as examining your own inner world of habits, emotions, thoughts, and beliefs. Focusing on self-care and health is helpful also.

Aspect-wise, Mercury opposing the Sun could bring in miscommunications and misunderstandings, so do be aware of that. There is also a lovely conjunction of Venus and Mars which will help in relationships.

Watch the video to find out more.

Please note that our Spring Equinox ceremony will be on March 23rd at 5:30 pm (MST) on Facebook Live, so save the date. More on that soon.

The New Moon in Aquarius is on Feb 9th at 3:59 pm MST. This represents the end of one lunar cycle and the beginning of the next.

Astrologically, both the Sun and Moon are conjunct in Aquarius at about 20 degrees. The new moon is a time for new beginnings so it’s time to start a new chapter and see things from new perspectives as you set your intentions for the month to come.

Aquarius is unconventional and focuses on grand humanitarian ideas, sparking fresh perspectives and often challenging traditional methods of doing things.

Aquarius is very individualistic. This the new moon in Aquarius offers you the chance for innovation and change, both in your own life and the world at large. Expect changes for the better as you release the old and bring in the new, with transformative opportunities for growth as you break free from limitations and manifest your true potential.

It’s time to really look at your deepest desires and start embracing those new goals and dreams to propel you forward into success and fulfillment with the recognition that we are all in this together.

Tonight (Feb 3rd) is our Imbolc ceremony at 5 pm MST on Facebook Live. Tune in or watch the replay.

The January Full Moon is on Jan. 25th, 2024 at 10:54 AM MST (AZ time). This is known as the Wolf Moon because this is the time of year when wolves howl due to several reasons, including hunger, defining territory, finding other pack members to name a few.

We have a Full Moon when the Sun and Moon are astrologically in opposition. At this Full Moon, the Sun is in Aquarius and the Moon is in Leo. This is a time of compassion, generosity, empowerment, enthusiasm, and creativity.

It’s also a time to make significant announcements and make changes that bring more joy, passion, and happiness into you life in many ways, as you strive for a better future. The support of other like-minded people give impetus to new beginnings. Inner guidance reveals ways to come more fully into your power.

Please note that our Imbolc ceremony will be on Druids of the Light Facebook Live on February 3rd at 5:00 PM MST.

This New Moon period begins on Thursday, January 11th, 2024 at 4:57 am MST.

This represents the end of one lunar cycle and the beginning of another. Astrologically, both the Sun and Moon are in Capricorn. This is a time of new beginnings and a time to set your intentions for the month to come. Capricorn is resourceful, disciplined, ambitious, and prudent, all of which will assist you in achieving your intentions. This is the perfect opportunity to make decisive moves.

Push yourself out of your comfort zone and start building towards a spiritually fulfilling future. This may call for patience, hard work, and discipline, but it will be worth it. Capricorn is very rational and practical and will help you to focus on long term goals. Sometimes reasonable boundaries and rules will release worry so you can focus on what matters.

Save the date: Imbolc will be on February 3rd at 5:00 pm on Facebook Live on the Druids of the Light Facebook page. Replay will be available.

So, after a month, I realized I haven’t been getting enough response to have classes, so I decided to postpone classes for a few months. I am thinking I will try again in the spring. But it would be helpful to see what kind of interest there is in attending these classes. So, if you ARE interested, let me know, and I will be sure to contact you with details. 

I will most likely be doing these classes online, and people can join in the class online, or purchase the replay after the fact. 

Just so you know, we are following the Study Program which is outlined on the website. 

We will be doing classes in sections…. so, for example, the first section is BASIC information, and that will take 5 weeks. After that, each topic will be covered in classes. I expect the classes to last 60-90 minutes each week.

The idea is that you can pay $20 per class, or you can get a section for $75 each, or the whole class portion of the initiate’s program for $275. You get to choose which level you would like.*

*Please note that these prices may change, but registering any time before we start will ensure these prices for are locked in for you when the time comes. 

Here are the details for the Initiate’s program:

The December Full Moon is on December 26, 2023 at 5:33 pm MST.

This is known as the Cold Moon due to colder weather and the desire to hunker down in the warmth of your home with family and friends. It also related to the longest night of Solstice.

This full moon has the Moon in Cancer and the Sun in Capricorn. Cancer tends to be emotional and sensitive so do watch your feelings. It’s a good time to compassionate to others as well as yourself. Capricorn, on the other hand, is responsible and productive, so this will help you to get things done often for the benefit of others.

Watch the video to learn more.

Make a note that our Winter Solstice ceremony was on December 16^th on Facebook Live and the video is still available to watch both on Facebook and YouTube. As for classes, we haven’t had much interest, so we are pausing it for now, and maybe will resume with something in the Spring.

Blessings of this Full Moon to you!
