Gemini New Moon – May 23rd 2020

May 21, 2020 by Caithe

━═★New Moon Blessings ★═━

The New Moon in Gemini occurs on 23rd May, 2020  (with its zenith at 3.38am, Brisbane Time).  Although New Moon energy is felt during the following four weeks of its zenith, the intensity of the New Moon will be felt from the day before the zenith till the day after the zenith.  Therefore, the energies will be magnified more than usual.

A new moon represents the end of one cycle and the beginning of a new 28-day cycle. The spiritual connection focus of this New Moon gives you an opportunity to spend time and/or renewing your beliefs and your relationship with the Divine.

Those who have Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces in their natal charts, will feel this New Moon significantly. 

━═★ What does that mean for you? ★═━

During the following four weeks influenced by this Gemini New Moon cycle, communication, travel, goals/ambition and dreams will be highlighted.  How this manifests for you may be subtle or may be an ‘in your face/are you taking notice of this’ situation.

This energy reminds me of the song by Pseudo Echo: “Are you listening?”  Notice during this energetic cycle how people and especially how you communicate.  There will be lots of sprouting off and shouting during this time.  Rather than allowing this to upset your applecart, endeavour to understand the motivation or intention behind each communication.  For yourself, try to be non-threatening, friendly and a good listener.

During this time, answers may be ‘just out of reach’ or you may also realise that there is no ‘one’ answer.. rather there are many roads which lead to Rome. 

You may also notice that one minute, you are all Indiana Jones ready to take on the world with just a cocky hat and a whip.  Next minute, you wish to withdraw from your goals because they are too hard/slow/unattainable.  Try not to throw the baby out with the bathwater, during this cycle.  Give yourself time to BREATHE.. after all, Gemini is an Air sign!

━═★ Ritual/Healing Suggestions ★═━

Gemini New Moon energy is perfect for a moonlight ritual because Gemini is an Air Sign.  This ritual is for pumping up your imaginative mojo.

In preparation for your Moon Ritual, you can collect:

  1. A candle and candleholder – blue or orange would be my choices but any will do.
  2. Incense or essential oil – bergamot, lavender or just use what you have/appeals
  3. Journal /paper and pen
  4. Crystals – as per the guide written below.
  5. A glass of water

Place the candle, crystals, incense, water, journal and pen on a safe, firm surface near where you wish to conduct the ritual.  This could be a table, a bench, chair or shelf.

Make yourself comfortable within the space you have chosen.

Light the candle.  Light the incense or start the aromatic diffuser or anoint yourself with the oil.  If you choose to anoint yourself, place a small dab of your chosen oil/oils at your third eye, wrists and just below your belly button. 

As I light this candle on this night

I ask the Great Mother to be by my side

For healing, grace, joy and ease

To benefit all for the highest good, please.

Make sure the candle is safe while you Moon bathe.  Collect any crystal or crystals to take with you outside.

If possible, go outside and see the New Moon sky.  Notice the possibilities of thousands of stars.  If the weather is inclement, notice how the clouds move or how the rain smells.

Stay in the moonlight for as long as you feel led.  Feel the breeze. Hear the sounds.  Allow yourself to “moon-dream” for as long as you wish (that’s the night-time version of daydreaming).  If everything were possible, what would you wish to create in your life? Time? Abundance? Solid relationships? A creative endeavour?

Once you have finished Moon bathing, go to your journal and pen and try to capture all your moon-dreams on paper.  Nothing is too silly or far-fetched.  Take a moment to reflect on what you can do tomorrow to begin reaching for these dreams.

Fold your paper on which you have written. Drink the water, leaving a small amount to sprinkle on the piece of paper.

Ground yourself and, if you choose, recite the “Gemini Moon of Dreaming” verse below.

You may choose to keep your piece of piece of paper in your sacred space – along with some appropriate Geminian crystals. 

Gemini energy asks you to focus and be clear while seeing both sides of the story.  You may like to set yourself the following tasks for the next 28 days ( or just select one each day):

  • Complimenting one person per day – sincerely, genuinely
  • Complimenting yourself every day
  • Naming, out loud, something during the day for which you are grateful.   

━═★ Mundane Magic ★═━

Some everyday activities which you can use to honour/meditate with this energy.

  • Service your car.
  • Carry a crystal
  • Plan a trip or meditate with a location you wish to visit.
  • Write out birthday cards or any type of correspondence needing to be sent.
  • Begin the novel/article/journal you always wanted to start or plan a workshop to teach.
  • Expand your technological skills e.g. graphic design, Photoshop, Facebook, etc.
  • Smudge your house to clear the air.
  • Minimise distractions; compile or review a to–do list.
  • Collect your unwanted books and take them to a second hand ‘swap’ shop or hold a garage sale.
  • Meditate and focus on your breath work. (Gemini is an Air Sign!)
  • Review/update your marketing schedule or time management.

━═★ Gemini Moon of Dreaming ★═━

With the energy of this Gemini New Moon

I release the blockages holding me back

I seek the confidence for a new start

Balance soul, spirit, mind, body and heart

As the Moon grows, please keep me on track

As above, so below, let it harm none, please make it so.

━═★ Suitable Crystals for Gridding ★═━

If you are gridding, suitable crystals to work with this Full Moon include: Diamond, jade, agate, topaz, tourmaline, aquamarine, apophyllite, blue sapphire, Citrine, celestite, chrysocolla, emerald, serpentine, tanzanite, tiger’s eye, variscite, ulexite, arfvedsonite, onyx, jasper, carnelians, Chrysoprase, flint.

━═★ Gemini New Moon Magick ★═━

When the Moon is in Gemini, you may notice everything and everyone is easily distracted.  This applies to you too!  It is a time when the superficial seems stable.  Any conclusions, judgements or computations are subject to quicksilver changes and a lack of clarity.   Gemini Moon energy enhances the range of possibilities and allows you to see ‘both sides’ at one time.

A perfect time to buy or bless any magickal tools involving besoms, athames or other objects you associate with Air.

A Gemini New Moon is beneficial for magick concerning:

  • Communication with other realms and your Higher Self
  • Clearing the air i.e. misunderstandings
  • Developing workshops, book outlines, presentations, marketing plans
  • Brainstorming and divergent thinking
  • Expanding your sphere of influence or network
  • New insight into the Mysteries
  • Banishing or releasing through the Element of Air.

━═★ New Moon Healing Event ★═━

This healing list is FREE for any and all who wish to receive Reiki over the 72 hours commencing on 22nd May, 2020. 

The beauty of a healing event is that there is no need to ATTEND, only INTEND to receive its benefit.

A New Moon Healing event uses the energies of the New Moon to further personal and spiritual development. The easiest way to engage with energetic healing is to give your permission. I have a crystal grid set up and the energy has been asked to be sent to and received by any who wish to receive.

Receiving the healing energy simply requires your permission. 

You do this by stating: I allow and receive all healing energy I require.

Simple, yes?

Some people like to take this further by:

  • sitting in the moonlight and meditating
  • creating their own crystal grid
  • writing in their journal
  • looking after their own body – water, sleep and recreation
  • finding ways to express themselves
  • encouraging themselves to be aware.

If you find yourself feeling anxious and fearful, put your shoulders back, breathe deeply and say out loud: “I am the powerful creator of my Universe. I choose my co-creators wisely.”

May the New Moon’s blessings be yours

Make a magickal day!

Taurus New Moon 2016

May 4, 2016 by Caithe

During the week ahead, the Moon will be New in the sign of Taurus (Saturday, May 7th at 5.30am – Brisbane Time). Although we will all be experiencing this interesting energy, those are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius will feel the energy in particular.

Taurus New Moon General
Taurus energy is like velcro – whatever occurs during Taurus energy sticks. During my Energy Broadcast on The Celtic Mystic this morning, the energies were described as Inconceivable.
There will be confusion and craziness, bullies and bulldust. The energies are particularly heavy. During this time, you may feel particularly lazy or prone to excessive behaviours (eating, addictions, procrastination). Your intuitive abilities may also feel limited – as if you cannot see far enough ahead.


With the energies coming out of Eclipse period and 5 planets in retrograde – we are being urged, no pushed, into looking deeper and deeper within ourselves. You may find yourself challenged with issues with your throat/communications, digestive difficulties/actions, joy/integrity, heart/relationships.
This is an ideal time to acknowledge that the past DID happen – to forgive your old self and love the capacity you have NOW for change.


Please be aware of the following:
* your emotional and intellectual patterns will be haywire this week, make sure they are yours before you begin to deal/heal.
* heavy energy can feel just like being ungrounded, keep yourself well grounded.
* be patient and practice patience, this is a perfect time to review and make plans.
* be gentle with yourself.
Remember, being gentle with yourself does NOT mean being passive or ineffective. Rather, it is an energy which seeks the best outcome for all concerned.


You can choose to take this Inconceivable energy and stay in the craziness and confusion… OR
You can choose to find the clarity with the bullies and the bulldust and leave the ‘stupidity’ behind…
Take a deep breath and say: What clarity may I receive in the confusion and craziness? Everything that is not a positive contribution to living with fun, flair and ease – Reveal, Release, Reset, Revitalise.
To receive the healing energies available to you, simply say: I receive with ease, all I require for healing mind, body, soul, spirit and emotion.

May each of you receive the healing you require in this next week. Chin up, ground well and see the confusion for what it is – a DISTRACTION to keep us on the wheel of karma.

You can listen to the entire broadcast HERE: Inconceivable – Reset Your Life.

Byosen Reikan Ho – Body Scan

April 21, 2016 by Caithe

Usui taught an energetic scanning technique to assist students intuitively detect areas of imbalance within the body.  Although the correct name for the body scan is Byosen Reikan Ho, most modern-day practitioners refer to it as Byosen.  Becoming proficient in this technique requires practice and patience.

What is Byosen and Hibiki?

Byosen Reikan translates as the ‘energy sensation of sickness (imbalance/disease)’. “Byo” means disease or sickness; “Sen” means before or future; “Rei” means energy, soul, spirit; and “kan” means emotion, feeling, sensation.

During the body scan, you may feel differences or changes in a client’s energy (or your own) as your hands are within their auric field.  These sensations are referred to as hibiki in Japan.  The word means echo or resonance.  When performing Byosen, please remember that although the hibiki are felt in one area of a person’s body, it may not mean that dis-ease will manifest at the same point.  Therefore, hibiki does not encourage you to diagnose a person.  Rather, it helps you recognised where the Reiki is flowing the most.  It encourages your intuitive sensing.

Byosen Technique

Ideally, this technique is completed when your client is lying down.

Begin with Gasshô and Reiji-Ho.

Starting at the crown, hold your hands about 5 to 30 cm above their body.

In a slow sweeping motion, move your hands from the crown to the feet and back up.

It may take a few passes.

  • Your hands may detect sensations of heat or cold.
  • You may feel a spinning sensation under your hands – fast, slow, chaotic, etc.
  • You may feel your hands wanting to remain longer over a particular area.
  • You may feel an abundance of energy or a lack of energy.
  • You may see, feel, smell, or simply know – each person will experience the hibiki in different ways.

Hibiki – common significances

Please note: the intensity of the stimulus perceived can often reflect the severity/depth of the problem:

  • Attraction signifies a need for treatment at the area of pull
  • Repulsion indicates a probable long-standing blockage or inhibition of energy flow – something which may take a considerable number of Reiki sessions to alleviate
  • Pain often indicates an excess or build-up of energy in the given area (due to a blockage, etc.). Sharp pain is sometimes considered to be a sign that the ‘pressure’ in the given area is causing a negative effect elsewhere in the system
  • Tingling frequently signifies an area of inflammation
  • Heat sensations in the therapist’s hands are indicative of Reiki being ‘drawn’ by the client
  • Coldness signifies a deficit of energy in the area (or at least a suppression of energy) – due to a blockage, etc.
  • Flux/Flow indicates a positive, balanced state – which will nonetheless still benefit from receiving treatment. (Deacon, 2003)

This scanning technique is not a tool for diagnosis.  It is simply an additional (and optional) technique to assist you in understanding your energy-sensing capabilities.

Daily practice ensures your Reiki channel is facilitated at its most functional on a day to day basis.  After all, Reiki is for everyday living!

Celticai’s Reiki Zen Ten

This example contains both traditional and non-traditional Reiki techniques for your Reiki Daily Pratice.

You may like to choose two or three songs which will become your guide as a background for your daily practice.  Alternatively, you can make cards or photographs or a poster to remind you of what comes next.

  • Gasshô
  • Joshin Kokyo-ho – Breathing Ki in and out.
  • Expanding Reiki within and then pushing Reiki out to the space around you and further afield.
  • Kenyoko-ho – dry-bathing method
  • Chakra Push – a non-traditional energising technique where the hands are used at each of the chakra points to push energy away from the body. Alternatively, you may like to complete a Quickie Reiki technique – where the hands are kept for 30 seconds at each point.
  • Ki Shower – reach down to the ground. Imagine that you are scooping up a bucketful of ki and carrying it above your head where you then allow it to tip over your body.  You may like to do this three times.
  • Crystal Charging – holding a crystal in your hands, fill it with Reiki. You may ask the Crystal to send your Reiki wherever it needs to go for you or for others.  Trace the Divinity Symbol over it.
  • Celticai Gokkai Technique – The Five Principles
  • Declaration of intention – Affirmations or Questions
  • Gasshô

Celticai Gokkai Technique

In the standing position, hold your hands in Gasshô. For each line of the Gokkai, breathe in and out with ease.

Just for today, what would it take?

To let go of worry – from Gassho, sweep one arm out, over and back into Gassho

To let go of anger – from Gasshô, sweep the other arm out, over and back into Gassho

To demonstrate integrity – from Gasshô, push both arms out, around and back into Gasshô

To be grateful – hold hands in Gasshô position

To be compassionate – place hands over heart chakra, return to Gasshô position

Just for today, what would it take?

 Declaration of intention

During your Reiki Daily Practice, this is an ideal opportunity for you to energise your intentions for your life and living.

You can use questions or affirmations.

Questions could include:

  • What would it take for my awareness to be conscious and my consciousness to be aware? And for the Reiki to flow through me with joy, ease, fun and flair. Reveal. Release. Reset. Revitalise.

Affirmations could include:

  • I am happy.
  • I am healed.
  • I am strong.
  • I am true to myself.
  • I am love and I am loved.
