Full Moons & Entering Leo

Published 19 days ago • 2 min read

Hello Reader,

QS Lite is continuing for a few more weeks, so we're keeping things simple around these parts as we focus on our summer tending.

We've got a gorgeous full moon in Aquarius tonight! It invites us to shine a light on our connections and humanitarian aspects. ​
~ What is being illuminated now in your relationships? relationship to self, community, and planet.

And Saturday we enter Leo as we move into Lammas, the next pagan holiday, which is a time to honor a turning point in the summer and gather the first harvest.
~ What have we reaped from our labor, and where do we focus our tending next?

Saturday we also have a special Care Circle, with guided movement practice facilitated by John Galloway. Check out the details below!

We invite to explore your own care by connecting with Queer Spirit Community resources in these ways: Patreon / QS Podcast, Care Menu offerings, and monthly virtual Care Circles.
