The Full Buck Moon/Thunder Moon arrives with bristling energy July 9th at 12:07 am. The names Buck and Thunder Moon are given to us by the Native Americans who tracked the seasons by the cycles of the moon. This full moon in Capricorn, with the sun opposite the moon, emphasizes polarities such as the ego vs the true self. It is a time of destruction and renewal as we release those things which are no longer serving us and move forward with a lightness of being. Destructive behavior and patterns which recently emerged can flair tempers and cause disharmony in relationships. It is a good time to look at not only the disruptive behavior of others but your own as well. Usually what bothers us about others is a reflection of ourselves. The full moon is a perfect time for mirror work using its natural energies to illuminate our internal world. Intentions to set during this full moon should be directed towards renewal of the spirit as we begin our journey towards the autumnal equinox, preparing ourselves for the change of seasons to come. It is a time of harvesting the seeds of intention planted in the spring. Love and light

End of an era...sadly Karsten has to close Melange. The landlord wants to sell the property and we have to be out of there by the end of July. So do drop in and have one last Tulsi tea and see if there is anything you would like to buy...
