Strong Sun Moon on June 18

There's a full moon around the corner, and this one is the Strong Sun Moon -- no wonder, since Litha is approaching and the sun is warming the heavens and earth! Spend time outdoors while you can -- this is a time for bonding with friends and family, tending our gardens, and nurturing relationships.

Correspondences for this month include bright sunny colors like yellow and orange, as well as strong sturdy trees such as oak and maple. Honor the deities Isis, Cerridwen, and Persephone this month, and focus your magical workings on spiritual growth. Allow your soul to bloom as your garden does.

Also known as the Lover's Moon, this is a good time for handfastings and weddings!
