~INTRODUCTION~
Greetings and Salutations. My name is Helene Collard. This blog is an extension of the Northern Rivers Moon Circles; ceremonial gatherings held each fortnight that honour and connect with current Lunar and Astrological energies, with the intention of supporting personal and collective growth. The Moon Circles are founded on Natural Law and include; meditation, creative expression and open discussion, as well as a presentation of the information summarised within this blog.
ASTROLOGY: 'a group of traditions which hold that the relative positions of celestial bodies and related details, can provide information about personality, human affairs and other terrestrial matters' (Wikipedia)
NATURAL LAW: Embodied in the Flower of Life, (a sacred geometric symbol, pictured above). The Flower of Life holds the philosophy of a fundamental interconnectedness amongst all live energy (moon, sun, stars, planets, animals, earth, human...) and furthermore depicts this web of relationships to be balanced and whole. Within this framework the:
WELLBEING OF ALL RELATIONSHIPS DEPENDS ON A
QUALITY & BALANCED CYCLE OF
GIVING AND RECEIVING
GIVING AND RECEIVING
So...how's your reciprocal relationship with the;
moon, sun, stars, planets, animals, earth, fellow humans going?

~LUNAR CYCLE AND NEW MOON~
The absolute over-riding current theme is a new beginning/new direction/new door is presenting for you. So be courageous and open to inviting in this unfamiliar but auspicious opportunity.
~CHINESE LUNAR NEW YEAR OF THE TIGER~ Feb 14, 2010
Happy New Year! The key words here are; renewal, initiative, change, new beginnings. This compliments this year's theme as the Year of Rebirth.
Expect technological advances and innovation - physically, but also within your own imaginative ideas.
Two important words are; change and unpredictability, therefore it's essential to be flexible and adaptable. Change and the uncertainty it can evoke, may lead people into resistance and fear of the very doors that will provide fulfillment and joy. Remain optimistic and conscious when the changes begin for you.
Remember, you create your reality, so identify what brings you happiness and joy and go with that. Simplicity is the key, placing less and less value on material goods - think and feel 'lighter'.
During the Tiger year, many 'hidden' things will be revealed. This will be enlightening, however it will bring challenge and conflict, both on personal and global levels. Your commitment and intentions for peace and unity on personal and collective levels are very important.
~NEW MOON AQUARIUS / SUN LEO AND PLANETS~
It's time for a change! Expect a new direction, one that feels exciting and right, although unfamiliar and unknown. So look for 'right' FEELING, not reason, to guide you through this energy.
Step forward toward your new future - one that FEELS 'right' inside.
Note any new ideas that spring to mind - choose the ones that FEEL right (yes, a strong message). Have the COURAGE to pursue your new direction. BELIEVE you have the creative abilities to take this on. You can't plan or control this new direction, but you can enjoy the ride.
Planetary movements provide expansive energy that can facilitate spiritual growth and a broader understanding of your Self and the world. Perhaps a new course of study will bring previously unknown realms of fulfillment.
There is an opportunity to heal old wounds around separation, abandonment and rejection, that have caused you to feel unloved or unlovable. Remember to have compassion for your Self as you allow that healing to occur.
We are mirrors for eachother, look carefully in the mirrors around you and remember, whatever you judge or love in another, is in you. Decide to make changes where you feel necessary.
There is a strong energy of COMMITMENT to the 'fire' in your heart. Stretch yourself beyond wherever you've been before, take a leap forward and fly high into the unknown.
~MAYAN GALACTIC MOON 8~ Feb 7 to Mar 6
The totem for this Moon is the Hawk and it's this animal that provides us the energy for the Galactic Moon.
Expect strong MESSAGES and communication - be open to messages coming your way. Hawks are the fastest creature on Earth; well respected, sharp minded, quick witted and intuitive. You can trust their impeccable judgement.
This is a time for creativity and lots of new ideas.
Hawks are also predators. They are very courageous and very capable of defending themselves. Beware of their tongue, it can be as quick as their mind.
This is about harmony and integrity. Strive for more harmony in your life, see everything from a higher perspective.
May The Long Time Sun Shine Upon You
God's Healing Light Surround You
And The Love Within You Guide Your Way
Thank you.
