| Happy Belated Aries Full Moon! |
Our usual Sunday night game is rescheduled to tonight, Monday. The notes from the game tonight should be ready to post tomorrow morning. Before I get into my game preparation today, I need to go do town errands.
I had a great Full Moon in Aries on my birthday, Saturday. Our weather over the weekend was really beautiful and sunny. I know there will be fewer of those as the autumn progresses. As an Aries Rising, Libra Sun native, the equinoxes are some of my favorite times of the year. All that potential and liminality to behold! The Aries Rising part of my chart wants to tell you to BE BOLD and COURAGEOUS! NOW! Lol;)
Teasers for the week: on October 1st, you'll find a new article here on the blogger. It's another installment in my Halloween Haunted Houses of Ravenloft series. Over on my Substack, my latest Sololoft video was posted last week. For those that don't know what Sololoft is, I'm doing a mash-up of Ravenloft setting + Shadowdark/Solodark rules. Heavy emphasis on the Tarokka deck; I'm using it for helping create characters and choose locations.
Have a great week friends!
Total Eclipse of the Heart
Here I am having astrological musings, again. The upcoming solar eclipse takes place
on August 12th, in the sign of Leo. The areas that will be in the path of totality are
Greenland, Iceland, the Atlantic Ocean, and northern Spain. I live in the Pacific Northwest,
so I don’t know if I’ll get to see a partial eclipse. I remember the August 2017 eclipse
because I was in the path of totality and got to experience how the birds act during the event.
They all flew up into the cedar and doug fir trees to roost like they do at night, but in a more
urgent and condensed time frame.
The 9 years between now and then have been strange on a personal layer; probably a bit
strange on that layer that is called the wider world. My interest and grasp of astrology has
deepened in that time. It’s a great time to be into it, so much has been popping off in the
last six years. Leo has its correspondences with the heart (both physical and metaphorical)
and courage. As I was lying in bed last night, pondering the upcoming celestial event, the
title to the Bonnie Tyler song “Total Eclipse of the Heart” popped into my head and I thought
it would be the perfect title for this.
My “heart” has been in several ongoing creative projects, so maybe we’ll see how that
changes over the next 6 months or so. This can be a marker! Back up to the wider world
layer, the eclipses seem to “hit hardest” in the path of totality, so another marker on those
locations I listed above.
As per the last few months, my lunar musings also include a link to my Substack:) I’ve
posted a few videos of my recent solo play endeavor I call Sololoft, a Ravenloft/
Shadowdark/Solodark mashup.
I like these little lunation posts I make to point you towards my Substack. It's giving me the opportunity to share my love of symbolic imagery and astrology. For my blog image this time around, I borrowed the Bride of Frankenstein idea from a Meg Moonbeam thumbnail over on youtube. I imagined the Bride lovingly packing a picnic for her friend the tired Lion to enjoy under a summer night sky. For me in the Pacific time zone, the moon will be full at around 7:30am on July 29th. As I write this on the morning of 7/28, the moon is in the last degrees of Capricorn. I'm anticipating something with this upcoming moon moving through Aquarius because that transit has been pinging some of my natal chart placements lately.
Something that has been exciting and electric for me recently is my new series over on my Substack. I've started a Solo RPG video series set in the Ravenloft Domains of Dread implementing the Shadowdark and Solodark rules. The first two episodes comprise a sort of "Solo Session Zero" and the third and most recently released episode is "Session 1". I can hardly wait to produce "Session 2" to find out what happens next!
