Spheres Of Light, Sydney & Nowra Full Moon Circles
Full Moon in Capricorn ~ Ptah Friday 15th July 2016
On this night we will be connecting to the energy of the Full Moon in Capricorn with the sun in Cancer. This full moon is all about the structures, work and goals you make in regards to your life, security and home. The cosmic energies of this moon will help motivate you to start moving into the bigger picture of your purpose on Earth and what you are here to achieve from the level of yourself as a Co-creator.
We will be working with the ancient Egyptian God Ptah, the creator god who was revered as the god of all craftsmen because he was believed to have crafted the universe and the other gods. He was particularly associated with the building of massive great architectural monuments and temples including the pyramids of Giza. Connect to Ptah on this night and allow him to assist you with your own personal constructions!
