July 1 welcomes a Full Moon(culmination) in earthy, industrious Capricorn. Consistant with the monthly Moon cycle, it is opposite the Sun(our consciousness) in watery, intuitive Cancer. Let's check out what tone will be set for the month since this power house combination engages two cardinal, assertive signs which actively initiate new attitudes and are proactive in the face of change once balance has been achieved in the interaction.

The ancient Chaldeans knew of the invisible planet Vulcan, a world considered hypothetical by modern astronomers. The little known Vulcan lies veiled within the orbit of Mercury, always within 8.5 degrees of the Sun.  Esoteric Astrology teaches that Vulcan is related to the heart of the sun, is one with the sun, and is a symbol of the human soul on Earth, who like Vulcan, the divine fashioner, works in and through dense physical matter.  Vulcan energies are symbolized by fire deep in the core of Earth.

Vulcan is one of the many physically invisible and/or etheric worlds in our solar system that radiate subtle etheric forces affecting Earth...

Life is movement - Stagnation is death... yet too often it is our passive acceptance of a situation which makes it so. Everything is in motion - be it a flower, a science, or a civilization... all hoping to fulfill their destiny [or at least have fun trying].

What makes this movement successful or not are the Qualities contained in the person and the Path taken - these now become the 'fuel', encouraging us to achieve our goal... or miring us in failure. Thus if we embrace love/beauty/happiness ... then so we will be rewarded - while if we wallow in criticism/anger/bitterness... then this [by our choice] will be our Life.

Everywhere I look I see people struggling to better their life, consciously trying to be happy, be kind, be generous... while others simply sit with their noses up in the air, taking advantage of the situation, using, abusing, and manipulating others... even as they congratulate themselves that they are 'entitled'... that they 'know better'... that, in fact, they are better.

Alright everyone, it is time again, I have chosen the next three stones for our next meetup!  This month, we will be going over Aquamarine, Howlite, and Golden Tiger's Eye!  Aquamarine is a beautiful, gemmy, light blue stone used commonly in jewelry.  Howlite is an opaque, white stone with grey veins running through it, often mistaken for white turquoise.  Golden Tiger's Eye is a golden-brown stone with many striated lines in it making a light in it that looks like a cat's eye.  I am looking forward to going over these stones with all of you, so come on out to Shining Lotus and Let's Get Stoned!
Please contact Meghan Taft at 303-789-0646 and ask for ext 47 to sign up for the group, admission is $5, we will go over a different set of stones each month and you will be emailed the updated info for each group.

Beyond Karma, beyond Ego ... even beyond the petty minds of Men, lies the greatest Challenge for Spiritual Practitioners ... they are the everyday Bindings, too common to notice, apparently inconsequential ... yet each can too easily become not a boulder but a mountain, insurmountable on our Path. It is here that Higher Awareness and Conscious Perception can guide us towards Resolution ... not through our whimpers, but through the Awakening of our Consciousness ... [after all, do you really want your Future Lives to be re-runs?]
