We are at the end of an Astrological Full Moon – Lunar Cycle, Pisces (the wisest of them all) is blessing us now as we are lifted into new and cleansed emotionally healing states.
When the Moon rises Full in Pisces we are often presented with a choice, a choice of reason, a choice that questions our strength!
Do we enhance our delusions or swim towards creative and healing clarity? This is the choice of this Full Moon.
It’s better to not doubt the destruction that can come from escapism or selecting the easy way out, if you endure a little and swim through the wild currents; calming and soothing waters will arrive. That’s the blessing of this Full Moon….“a chance to be softened, to feel and unwind in a rhythm so playful that presents clarity in the most creative of packages.”
The coincidental or random sequence of events that will continue after this Full Moon are linked to the discovery of new and useful pathways. Pathways that have been calling us and wishing for our acknowledgement for a very long while now. The post Eclipse lessons continue and this Full Moon provides the saturation of peace we need to process the hardest bits, the lessons that we did not want to learn or felt exhausted by.
I love Pisces Moons because of their tender and gentle encouragement. What we must understand is that this tenderness needs to be appreciated, if we take the side of restless escape we will miss the kind and wise song. A kind and wise song which tells us how easy it can be and how needed it is to simply decompose, exhale and rest into the moment.
What to do under the influence of this Full Moon:
trust the enhanced psychic powers
give or receive a divination
listen to your favourite music
write poetry
moon bathe
swim in a body of water under the rishi stars healing rays
decompose
heal through release
have a good cry
face the current situation creatively
indulge in some cuddles
paint
write your own prayer or aspiration for the betterment of the universe
have a romantic evening
be honest with yourself
spend time with / help animals or pets
release unnecessary guilt
pay close attention to your dreams on the 6th, 7th and 8th
express your love through creating something
take a nice hot bath with yummy essential oils
When the power of Neptune, Chiron and this Full Moon all in Pisces is harnessed, the doorway to subconscious secrets is unleashed and not only will we begin to understand ourselves better, we will also be given temporary access to a timeless place, a timeless place where all the questions we want answered are possible, where all the mysteries of the world are kept! Pisces Moon conjunct Neptune and Chiron rejects time, so please awaken into the alchemical might of this astrologically supportive energy and sincerely healing dimension. Healing is possible now, a deep and necessary healing of the past so that we can ensure we won’t miss the magic of all the Eclipse season had to offer.
This imaginative Full Moon will continue to share her energetic grace until the 8th of September so please do make the most of it.
I look forward to hear from you and learn about your experiences. As you may know, Mercury went forward on the 5th in Leo and won’t be holding us back any longer. The fun and quirky Sun in Virgo will allow the inner work pending to get completed – no corners will be left unattended to. Let the detail oriented light of the Sun in Virgo shine on in. What our souls or most sincerest parts have been yearning to attend to will get completed now. The endings are from lifetimes of baggage, we can let it all go, release it and find renewal in the brilliance of this Moon.
A divination for these times —>
“Find the wisdom of healing within, spiral deep into your purest and innermost core. Talk to yourself there, hear the thunder and release the rain. Life will improve after the storm is understood. Don’t let the trance like state of healing energy fool you, the wisdom is sharp, sit with it and heal all the universe (not only yourself.) A lot can be accomplished when we let go of this need to control, be wild within, centre yourself and free the noise. You will calm all storms by listening… You will!”
Thank you so much to all of you for your continued support.
We are approaching the end of a powerful Eclipse Season Vortex, with less than 24 hours until the Final and Total Solar Eclipse arrives. There is so much to go over and yet so little words to communicate just how mighty this time will be. Let us witness history together, joining hearts and preparing to never see anything again, as it was or as it is right now! When the Sun dances in Leo it dances in its most prized and powerful place, predictions and magical convictions are all underway. Let there be light, a blazing light of renewal. Yes, let there be light!
Hello dear ones,
The Total Solar Eclipse in Leo is just around the corner and this in-between Eclipse time is moments away from coming to an end. I don’t know if I want it to end, and I want to talk about why.
It’s been almost 3 years since I have seen my mother. It actually feels a lot longer than that. I didn’t expect to see her so soon, during such Astrologically significant times and in the condition I was in. Seeing her face always gives me the sweetest hope. I have never met a more positive and openhearted person. Seeing her makes me want to curl up in a warm bed and sleep a deep and restful sleep because I know I am safe.
As you may recognize, I have lived so much of my life alone, far away from family and many that I love and cherish. It was never really a choice; it was more along the lines of my destiny…to be zapped out of a typical family setting and hermit myself through life and it’s countless songs. From the age of 12 I was already independent and had to be. By 15 I was travelling the world and never really stopped. No, I didn’t do any of that with Mum and often wished I could. It was really only me for the most part. Me and the wind and the water and all the other elements! I had my purpose of-course and wishes that extended further than just necessity yet I never, ever wanted to leave her. I bring this all up because these current times have a lot to say about our deepest and truest relationships (including our relationship with ourselves.)
They have much to say about how we really feel about those we love most and bring to light the areas we have so strangely ignored. It is not because we need to rethink anything or understand it; it’s just a time to clearly release ourselves from how we were. Or in better words, to free ourselves from projections of how we wanted things to be / ourselves to be.
A lot gets locked away; the subconscious is full of endless trails that lead to endless caverns and it is not easy managing all of what is hiding beneath. I mean, how can we if we have a day job to maintain, kids to feed and our basic needs to attend to?! The subconscious hollows are not areas we can just tap into nor comprehend overnight but we need to remember that such hollows must not be flouted. Such hollows are the key to good health, our awakening and many other alchemical treats! So, make it possible to explore them and to listen when they speak.
This is a period where quite a BIG LOVE is needed, the center stage and loud kind of love. If we have been holding back to give a little more, to love a litter louder, well, there is no need for that. Love is all there is, I believe it and always will. I mean, doesn’t it come back down to that? Isn’t it the love we seek, whether it is altruistic, romantic, physical or spiritual?
It is – isn’t it!
You see, we demand love in what we eat, in the way we dress, in how we get things done at work or when we are simply trying to unwind. We search for it through our favourite Netflix shows and in a melody. Some of us look for it in more obvious places, like in the warm embrace of a loved one, yet all of this happens and who knows if we even notice.
The point is, this LOVE you seek needs YOU.
Have you thought like this before?
To really get to this Lighter State of Being a leap of faith is needed, a leap that requires the courage of a Lion and the view of an Eagle. This Solar Eclipse in Leo will support you if you choose to give yourself back to LOVE. And what is love?
The way of the HEART!
Yes, the way of the HEART is calling you back. Not in an emotional way but in a way that is noble and fair. The heart is noble and when left to rest in its natural state it will explode in generous gestures that will not omit anyone or anything.
So why do I not really want this Eclipse Vortex to end?
Because… it is pouring onto us, quite forcefully what we really need and it is ripping away all that we do not. I appreciate amplified cosmic help and appreciate it even more when we work with the themes correctly.
Ok, yes, a finish line makes sense and we are really almost there. I just need to remind you that what we should be valuing here is all the insights that have tickled our core in the last 6 weeks and especially in the last 2 weeks. We need to value the intensity of how we have been feeling and even if it doesn’t make any sense we must somehow find a way to learn from it, or record it to reflect over at a later date.
The influences will continue to churn until early October though what we have established during this Eclipse Vortex time is really the FEATURE.
Some Practical Tips:
Eclipses force us into action and never take NO for an answer. When in an Eclipse Vortex it is the perfect moment to allow major changes and to be receptive to them even if they are appearing cruel, eventually the results will be kind.
This Total Solar Eclipse in Leo will take place on the 21st of August between the hours of 3:30pm and 9:10pm UTC.
Total Solar Eclipses are rare and to put a little more zest into this, the Sun rules Leo so therefore the effects of this Eclipse will be amplified even more so.
The Sun also rules our persona, what we project onto the world, our characteristics, who we wish to be, our creativity, the ego, our traits and initiatives. The Sun in Astrology is a major influencer and one to respect so in this case, we are being asked to see ourselves clearly and from the heart. If we see ourselves clearly we will also be able to then see the truth around intimate situations or anyone who is linked to ones identity. There are strong cosmic requests around healing certain bonds and allowing ourselves to feel for those we love, to not block out feelings because they are too painful or overwhelming. We really need to feel for those we love or have lost and let the healing rays in.
The post Aquarian Full Moon Eclipse energy is telling us to basically prepare to be reborn during this New Moon in Leo / Total Solar Eclipse and emerge from what may have felt like being rushed off in a haze somewhere in the lonely desert. We have been wandering in the quantum field of a powerful Eclipse Season Vortex with intense groundless-ness smashed up by Mercury retrograde, along with 5 other planets keeping us on the inner and silent journey. What planets are these?
Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Chiron and Pluto
This is indeed absurdity at its finest hour and we are almost there, at a needed conclusion.
The Aquarian Full Moon Lunar Eclipse flushed out so much useless information, old energies and habits that really were not helping us. Many are continuing to deal with the release of these energetic blocks and are trying to work with ancestral cleansing. Some of what may have come to light would have challenged us deeply. Yet we must carry on forward and trust in the support for renewal in ways that are not comprehensible on an intellectual level. We are being driven to Lighter States of Being and need this deep elimination of the muck – however it emerges.
Through the portal of the Total Solar Eclipse in Leo at 28 degrees and the last rays of this Star, a surge of confidence to see us clearly will emerge and through that knowing a renewal will be possible. All intimate relationships and what is linked to our identity are under deep investigation. Matters long hidden or situations we thought were already dealt with will resurface for a final evaluation.
In the momentary darkness brought on by the presence of this Solar Eclipse, a magical gateway that will support truth and the way of the heart will appear. The inner works we have been yearning to complete, the years of accumulated subconscious callings and missed opportunities to evolve are all available again NOW to act upon. It is really remarkable what can be accomplished in as little as 5 hours of this Eclipse, if we just sit and feel it out, so much will be possible. We can relax and start by making the best of aspirations and prayers for our universe followed by some serious sitting. When I say sitting I mean being still and letting the mind rest, this will allow clarity and a sincere present moment understanding. After this you can write down what appears and close your sessions with some loving dedications. There are so many ways one can work with this energy however it really is optimal to dedicate sometime to be still and feel it, let it flow through you and clean you whilst you rest your mind and watch your breath. The intention needs to be clear and as you already know, the intention is for the benefit of the entire universe, this should be your mindset and aspiration before commencing.
I see this as quite the pinnacle, and not something that can be easily described in words so therefore have selected a song that captures a lot of what this Eclipse is trying to say. The only lyrics in this song are as follows, please listen and try to do so LOUDLY…..
“When I listen to the old voice of my blood that sings and cries remembering past centuries of horror, I feel God, who scents my soul and in the world I keep on sowing roses instead of pain.”
….some closing points
The Rishi Stars will return to us again next month. According to Tibetan and Vedic Astrology there are clusters of seven stars called the Rishi Stars that appear once a year – usually in September. This year (according to Tibetan Astrology) the Rishi Stars will be blessing us from September the 9th until the 15th.
Lama Dawa Rinpoche explains that according to a Hindu legend, these stars (called Sapta Rishi – the seven Rishis) were once great sages of the past, who, upon their death, rose up into the heavens and became these stars. When they are visible in the night sky, their light is said to possess special healing powers that transform all water into healing nectar. Typically, Tibetan Doctors and healers would place buckets of water outside during this time, and then use this water for making their medicines.
Another way of benefiting from this healing water is to bathe in pools, ponds or rivers during this time. One could collect water in buckets and use that for bathing. Any water – whether it is ocean, river, stream, or water in pools, is imbued with the healing qualities of the Rishi Stars. This water can be used to make healing tinctures, or for giving to pets and plants. Even the water in our own bodies can be blessed and purified by this special healing energy by exposing our body to the night sky when the stars are out.
We will be Raising the Universal Frequency on the 21stof August 2017 between the hours of 6pm and 8pm UTC. You can learn more about this free event here:
With anything but logic available, let the fires of renewal burn and dance yourself a passionate dance. The fire is burning now, with so many planets joined by fiery Stars, we cannot avoid the heat nor the truth of expression that Leo is offering. All that is unnecessary can be eliminated now and all that brings on fear, hate and aggression must be faced with noble clarity. We must combat these poisons with LOVE, a love that is large and wide, that fears not and acts gracefully. These times command this wide and grand way of the heart. Just being still, and feeling it all flow through you, will be enough to allow the giant change and evolution of being.
Thank you so much for being a part of all of this with me.
Please feel free to share your thoughts and questions here.
Here we are smack bang in the middle of the final Eclipses to grace 2016. We are also about to witness the glory of the Rishi Stars (Big stars of Ursa Major) and numerological facts tell us that 9/9/2016 is the mark of the end to a long cycle of heavy “loop like” toxic patterns. Can I mention that Mercury is in retrograde now too and all our planets are doing very awkward things!
It really is a time to introspect and look up at the sky, attempt a little retreat as well as just be quiet with oneself. This upcoming and final Eclipse of 2016 will change allot for many and in our world. The world will seem VERY different after November and our universe is preparing us this very second for that major shift. I suggest we continue to make blessed aspirations and pray with all our hearts. The cosmos want us to honour nature now, to connect with the Earth and listen to the voices of where we stand. We need to shut out the fabricated noise for some hours and listen to the wind, feel the air, its loud loud song and how the earth responds to it. Watch a fire burn, the crackling will enliven us and bring us strength. Sit by a body of water and long for clarity and see how swiftly it will purify fears. Numerous insights will shine forth for us during this time. In-between Eclipse energy is ever so mighty so let us work with it now for the greater good!

Numerological importance of 9/9/2016:
The 9th day of the 9th month in a number 9year (9-9-9) is probably the most powerful day in 2016 according to numerology. The number 9 is said to represent karma, karmic debts, endings, completions, deep spiritual understandings and releasing the old so what is new can emerge. The death of unnecessary habits, beliefs and defenses is always traumatic but such deaths are necessary if we want to move into the new numerological vibration that will begin in 3-4 months. This powerful day really does mark the end of what no longer serves a purpose in our life and uproots all that is dry or left to rot in the dark. Use this day to bring light into the wish for newness. The energetic journey will ascend to clearer perspectives if we are willing to see the truth and allow certain ends to take place.

A little on TarotbyTashi in Delphi:
Many of you may already know how deep my roots are in Greece. I try to pay homage as often as I can to this enchanting land and tend to cry for it when away.
At present, I am at the end of a little writing project here in Delphi and am making use of this precious time completing divinations too. I made an effort to collect some sweet treasures blessed here to present in a cute Gypsy Caravan Sale. Attached to this email are a couple images of some charms that I am selling. There are limited pieces though am happy to receive emailed interest and can post internationally. The charms you see here are gold plated and made in Greece. The charm is called a “Mati” or in English “Evil Eye” and I will include specifics on the magical importance of such charms below. As for Delphi, I’m currently booked up to complete many more readings however I shall return in October and am taking bookings now for then! If you would like to receive your divination from Delphi please email me so I can book you in. I will also be revisiting a favourite spot of mine called the Oracle of Dodona (the oldest Oracle in Greece) and look forward to connect from there too.
The TarotbyTashi Mystical Tour program for 2017 is almost complete and the spotlight will indeed be Ancient Greece!
There is always so much to share and I look forward to share more soon (especially about the upcoming and final Eclipse of 2016).
Have a transformative September and all my best of aspirations.
Love and light,
Tashi

Symbolic Significance of Mati / Evil Eye:
The evil eye is something like a curse that is cast by a malevolent glare and usually given to a person when they are not noticing. Many cultures believe that receiving the evil eye will cause misfortune or injury. Talismans created to protect against the evil eye are also called “Evil Eye” (such as the charms below).
The idea expressed by the term causes many different cultures to pursue protective measures against it. The concept and its significance vary widely among different cultures and primarily in West Asia. The idea appears several times in translations of the Old Testament. It was a widely extended belief between many Mediterranean and Asian tribes / cultures. Charms and decorations with eye-like symbols known as Nazars, (which are used to repel the evil eye) are a common sight across Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Southern Italy (Naples), the Levant, and Afghanistan.
Classical authors attempted to offer explanations for the evil eye. Plutarch’s scientific explanation stated that the eyes were the chief, if not sole, source of the deadly rays that were supposed to spring up like poisoned darts from the inner recesses of a person possessing the evil eye. Plutarch treated the phenomenon of the evil eye as something seemingly inexplicable that is a source of wonder and cause of incredulity.
Wearing an evil eye charm wards off evil, jealousy and negativity. It is said to wear one made from a land that honors the magic of intention behind such charms and not to purchase evil eyes that are factory made for business only purposes.
We are at the end of an Astrological Full Moon – Lunar Cycle, Pisces (the wisest of them all) is blessing us now as we are lifted into new and cleansed emotionally healing states.
They have much to say about how we really feel about those we love most and bring to light the areas we have so strangely ignored. It is not because we need to rethink anything or understand it; it’s just a time to clearly release ourselves from how we were. Or in better words, to free ourselves from projections of how we wanted things to be / ourselves to be.
