“The reverberations of no Moon, no brightly full moon night, summon the Black Moon and return her to our sight. I speak of a beckoning, when the darkness calls our name and here in this signaling, we inaugurate the journey to mysticisms array.” – TarotbyTashi
Hello dear ones,
Take your heart and mind back to 1999 for a moment. What were you doing? How were you feeling? Take some time to recollect “the you” that lived then, what were your fears and hopes? Do you even recognize who you were?
We have come a very long way since then, now haven’t we? Our collective lessons have been associated with speed, a speed that the Age of Aquarius seems to harness like a log.
To rewind the video of life to 1999 comes with reason, you see, what if this Black Moon month of February 2018 can pull into the present, a concealed personal potential of that old version of you? Before I go into the specifics of how and why this is possible, I will touch on the Astrological and Mystical significance of when there is no Full Moon in a calendar month.
The label “Black Moon” is a label of many meanings and one of them (the one I am referring to now) is when there is no Full Moon in a calendar month. Some Astrologers would call this cosmic event the “Lilith Moon.” The last time a no Full Moon month happened was in February 1999.
We always hype up Blue Moons, this is fair because we can witness their graciousness and they light up the entire sky and leave us in a trance like awe. It is completely normal that we notice them! Black Moons, on the contrary, are rarely spoken of….but…are equally as important and to the Mystics even more so.
Think of a no Full Moon month as a storehouse of energy, energy that is hidden, concentrated and raw. The lack of obviousness to this presence makes us drowsy and our need for solid rest coagulates.
This deep rest that we long for, is actually a good thing because, it will make the cosmic transmissions easier. When in a restful place, the energetic transference can enter us and rejuvenate the cells to awaken the hidden bits.
It is no coincidence that a Black Moon month coincides with the Ecliptic portal and the Lunar New Year. This to the wise ones is a month of “certainty.” A month where whatever we were meant to do and did not do… will happen.
I see February as the silent killer, the killer of fears, unnecessary dreams and focus points. The blessing here is, it’s as though we wont actually have to do anything to make things happen. They will simply happen and….wearing the costume of CHANGE!
A no Full Moon month, to the Astrologers is like a New Moon set on fire. The darkness of the month calls for subconscious renewal, cleansing and also a deep surrendering to the subtle mysteries. Even if we cannot see or comprehend what is happening, the energies are active and completing their mighty tasks.
We as observers, can work with this prolonged pitch-black night to set a multitude of intentions, ones that will take us through the next 20 years. I say this because; a Black Moon month like this one, only happens every couple of decades and the power of intention setting under such influences in stronger than usual.
Think of a Black Moon month as an opportunity to purge, with the support of the Eclipses and Lunar New Year, your bound to feel like a new born baby come April.
Now, back to 1999….
…..the Mystics of the world believed (and still believe) that every no Full Moon month (sometimes called a February Moon) had the capacity, to rekindle us with our forgotten aims. Normally these aims are in alliance with the aspirations of the year the previous no Full Moon month shared. So what this means is, whatever we forget to fulfill in 2018, that has significant importance, will come back to bite us in approximately 20 years from now. This exact same theme is taking place this month and it is linked to 1999. So, what is coming back to nibble on your ear? Are you experiencing any resonance? I know I am.
One last point about the Black Moon month……
….working with Lilithian energy is extremely beneficial during a month like this one. The forgotten Queen rules such domains and supports any quest to get to know our hidden bits. If you want to know more about Lilith, you can read my detailed article here.
New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Aquarius
The Solar Eclipse in Aquarius, will mark an end to our in-between Eclipses portal and draw a line that marks the closing conclusion, to many experiences that have been shaping us since August 2017. This is it, things are about to get so much clearer and we will be fresh in our collective frequency come this April. I keep mentioning the month of April because it really is a precious time. Not only are we heading towards a new degree of collective understanding but we are also finding new ways to heal and our tolerance levels are increasing as a whole. The princess and the pea syndrome just wont be possible anymore….as this universe expands and contracts (wink wink.)
For a deeper understanding about this Solar Eclipse in Aquarius and how it will influence you personally, please have a listen to my Audio here:
This Partial Solar Eclipse will take place on the 15th of February 2018 at 18:55pm UTC time and shall end at 22:48 UTC time.
Our beloved Venus is in Pisces until March the 6th 2018

Mystical Tour of Greece in May 2018
Throughout the year, I run various Mystical Tours and some I run in person and others from a distance. I tend to keep these activities low key, because I prefer to offer these experiences intimately. Since the service I offer is so unique, it only makes sense that it can’t be packaged in a standard way. Europe is where most of my tours have been taking place however, I have also guided people through their journeys in India, Nepal and similar lands. You can contact me for a Mystical Tour or Sojourn for practically any location, they do take some time to prepare so ensure to give me ample amounts of notice. When I am arranging tours for the major cities in our world, I don’t need as much notice so; a good 2 weeks or 3 are fine. Mystical Sojourns make divine gifts and….if you want to know all about what I offer you can take a peak here.
Would you like to join me and 5 other delightful hearts on a Mystical Tour in Greece? The focus will be on the Divine and Sacred Feminine Principal. I have 1 spot left for this amazing opportunity and this all-inclusive 2-week package (excluding flights) costs a non refundable $2500 USD approx. If you would like to know more, please connect via email. The sooner I hear from you the better. I am finalising this “in person” Tour this month and wont be accepting anyone else after the 25th. Do keep in mind that I run tours frequently and you can also request to tour Greece with me at a later date. Looking forward to Mystical Touring with you.
Some Closing Notes
The Lunar New Year of the Earth Dog commences on the 16th of February 2018. Earth Dog energy is loyal, steadfast, responsible, fun and committed. It will be a beneficial year to revise where our loyalties live and who or what we can rely on. My intuitive hunch is that we can gain long lasting and sincere friendships this year. There is also an element of simply sticking to the tasks at hand, getting on with everything and without delay. Our planet Earth will also be calling for our loyalty, our love and our friendship….so please be loyal to her. She needs it the most.
Wishing you all a healing and clearing month of February. May this Eclipse season realign you divinely and for the utmost benefit
Infinite blessings dear hearts and thank you so much for your ongoing support.
Love and light,
Tashi
The Oxford dictionary meaning for the word Man is…”Human beings in general; the human race.”
We humans are distinguished from other species by our superior mental development, upright/vertical stance and power of articulate speech. The healthy and harmonious combination of elements enables imagination, creation and more but…what makes us particularly unique is our intuitive yearning. This “yearning” can lead to spiritual attainments as it can lead to infinite perils. The point is that, so many of us have the best faculties in place, to assist some form of TOTAL experience that can free us and those around us, from whatever it is that keeps us bound. This rare yearning is also felt in our bittersweet symphonies of love. Our love can be felt from our central channel as it can be experienced as unconditional when raised to the highest degree. In better words, we are fundamentally kind. Most species however, simply feel to survive.
Last August united us in the outer sorrows of change, we came to a visual understanding of how the world we live in, isn’t as easy as we would like it to be. The outer curtains were pulled away and we humans got a glimpse of how such privileges are abused. This is the danger of dishonoring our human-ness. In fact, the term “inhumane” implies that when someone is being cold hearted they are not being “human.” This then would further imply, that to be human is to be kind and not because we are seeking out fans or validation. This perfected kindness is the fundamental nature of all humans and when this kindness is not accepted we fall pray to silly distractions that turn us away from “in” and definitely delay our ability to experience a 300-kilometer an hour message travelling from our brain through our nerves.

Almost everyone I know had a turbulent 2017, the year was dreamy and yet still managed to shake us up and crush us down. The death of 2017 is yet to arrive…we are on the brink of some final lessons and integrating what was. This actual death of a shared cycle will be felt closer to the end of February 2018 and the New Year energy that we so eagerly await will happen when the Sun kisses Aries. I know this is a while away however we are in need of a deep integration and if this doesn’t make sense, just remember the grandness felt when the Moon was full in Cancer. We can probably still feel it!
Uranus just went Direct in Aries on the 2nd of January in the last degrees (24 degrees) of the Star Sign. We will not be able to hold back on letting the inner revolutions OUT. Since August 2017, the wish for so much outer transformations developed. We all connected through the inner plains, desiring for various revolutionary manifestations. There was a collective desperation, holding us all together and waiting for the moment to say BOOM. With Uranus taking a direct turn in our glorious sky, the BOOM of a moment is here. From now until Uranus’s entry into Taurus, we will be working with the pinnacle of the 7-year cycle this planet generously offers. If we did not deal with our inner contradictions earlier, we better fasten our seatbelts as this lightening bolt awakener sends us to a state of serious negotiations. We must hurry and take a look at where this Awakener sits in our Astrological Birth Charts. We must also peek into where any Libra, Aries, Capricorn or Cancer aspects collide. 
I have been reading a lot of Astrology lately and seeing what this industry likes to share and promote. A topic that seems to be on almost everyone’s mind is the mystery of the Galactic Centre. There is also a resurrected focus on Sirius and a few other bright starry friends. This is interesting because what we all choose to care about at different times / seasons say a lot about what we need or what we are collectively searching for. Sometimes we are simply following trends but when we sincerely select our focus or become aware of it, much knowledge of our needs is found. This industry is full of basic information and many musings that lead us astray….you need to carefully select your interests / whom you follow and always allow for contemplation. Personally, I like to rely on books and ancient texts that have been passed down to us from the forefathers of Astrology (or what was preserved of it.) We should also test whomever we are following, see how their advice works for us and note down our discoveries. I am saying all this because I want the purity of Astrology to be preserved and for the world to appreciate it again by connecting with the people who really support the industry. On this note, I would love to hear your thoughts on WHY THE GALACTIC CENTRE IS SO IMPORTANT NOW? I am putting together an in-depth write up about this mysterious focal point and wish to interact a bit to bring to life the essence of the multidimensional message. Its an interesting one because as an Astrologer, I actually don’t speak of it too easily and all that much. There is something missing in the accuracy of interpretation linked to the GC. I am going deep into research and knocking on the doors of many many elders…..so do email me with any expressions, I will deeply appreciate it. Now, back to some more reflections….
When Mystical Touring with me, there is an emphasis on the word Mystical. No tour is ordinary. No Tour can fit into a predictable plan. The aim is to spiritually amaze you, to make your senses glide and soar. To teach you something not taught in everyday travel. To assist your growth and divine progression!
We are at the end of an Astrological Full Moon – Lunar Cycle, Pisces (the wisest of them all) is blessing us now as we are lifted into new and cleansed emotionally healing states.
They have much to say about how we really feel about those we love most and bring to light the areas we have so strangely ignored. It is not because we need to rethink anything or understand it; it’s just a time to clearly release ourselves from how we were. Or in better words, to free ourselves from projections of how we wanted things to be / ourselves to be.
Wouldn’t you call Aquarians and Leos extreme opposites? I know I do! And…can you imagine how radical an Eclipse Vortex would be, held by such opposites? Well, here we are, entering this mad and activated season.
The cool and detached Aquarian star sits quite high, and when in the mood lets the emotions flow through the mind like a filter. “Do we really need to hold on to so much emotion?” asks Aquarius and… the correct answer from the world should be “NO”. So, let it ALL go, let it out, release the past, the muck and the useless self-involved thinking. Adjust yourself to the wave of a grander view that doesn’t fall to the ground like a mat to let everyone step on it. Instead, lead through your example, an example that does care and connect (without the sticky bits) and without the expectation. Fly high like an Eagle, see it all from up there and see how tiny it really is. Think big; think about everyone and everything – this is the point.
I suggest we ease into this mood, this uncanny and cosmically expansive mood. Lets just sit with it over the course of the next 4 days and feel how it works with us. It will be surprising and clever; so don’t be alarmed if the unexpected happens. Just ease into it!
According to Gypsy Law and numerous Ancient Traditions, exposing our Genitalia to the sunlight is vital for longevity, production of beneficial hormones and ones overall well-being. If we expose our Genitalia to the sunlight for 10-15 minutes a day, we are guaranteed to feel clearer, healthier and energized. Even if we do this once a week we will immediately experience the results. Men benefit from this exercise more than woman do and it is particularly stated that a man should expose his Genitalia to the sunlight to increase his testosterone. I am sharing this Gypsy Lifestyle Tip with you because it has a strong link to this upcoming Full Moon in Capricorn on the 9th. This Full Moon will bring out an emphasis on how we love and take care of our Bodies. It will also work on our self-confidence and aptitude to progress with less self doubt. Consider sunbathing in the nude this Full Moon to kick start July with one of the greatest sources of power…. The SUN and its LIGHT.
With Pluto breathing all over this Full Moon we are 1 degree away from uncontrollable crumples of what we find certain. Do not take risks this Full Moon. Be very aware of the intensity around insecurity and self-esteem. To support the light of this Moon, take care of ones body, focus on bringing more of the Earth Element into the weeks to come and be attentive to the professional commitments above all. When a Capricorn Moon is stimulated by Pluto, the not so shy version of oneself will appear and ambitiously tear things down. We are probably better off NOT trusting the heated impulses and instead, using what may seem to boil towards our hard working and reliable goals. There will be a lot of energy about and it can assist us through a deeper transformation if we stabilize the energy through working with the body. Exercise and simple breathing techniques will be highly suitable on or around this Moon. The point is to absorb the energy we are being provided with and not use it up as it comes. The main reason why a storehouse approach is needed is due to the dangerously LOUD Eclipse Season that is imminent in August. If we can be observant towards what is moving within and ground the cosmic energy, we will then be able to understand what will be greatly challenging in planetary contentious August!
Everything around this July and Astrology points towards “The Vastness of Being.” It is so easy to sit and write and write about the basic Astrological impacts of a time and date yet to really capture the essence of what is happening in our basic language feels impossible. I want to try and paint a picture through words, take you on a journey that isn’t at all stripped down by grammar or logic. Let my words here paint an experience that will leave a melody, a tune, a scent and a theme of electric majesty. I need you to open up to the NOW and be here with these words, be here with the presence that is speaking. I am just a vessel; a medium and a mechanical structure that dances on air yet gets bound by what we call gravity. Do you like gravity? I know I do, at least for now. Having some gravity is needed when being here; a part of this world, a world we call home. Did you know that the Earth celebrates its birthday in July? I was not aware of this and wonder if it’s true. I feel it to be quite nice that the Earth has a birthday, maybe it will give us a surge of inspiration to care more for her and become a friend of the life that is constantly surrounding us. The life we depend on. Now back to the picture, the experiential painting of The Vastness of Being. Be here with me, feeling and absorbing the words from the sky that rain down from the echoes of the infinite stars and kiss us with their glow. I know you feel it and want to lie back, exploring the universe with your mind, a freer mind, a mind that shares no limits. This limitless mind, that is found when we are in complete symphony with all and all, wants you NOW and calls to you now, as the stars rise before us. There is no need to feel swept away by the concept of time nor let it bleed you. Why be afraid when ALL is here, ALL is now and current. If you sit with it, the air, the light, the sound, the night, you will be one with it, just being. I am not a servant to the mess my naughty mind can lead me to; I am an inspired wisher of peace and a peace that comes from within. There is no ancient history that omits the importance of connecting and linking to the world beyond limits. If we can just be, we will be, always and forever here, alive and brightly aligned with the moment. Tear down the chatter, the words, and the critical judgments to then hear what is softer, patient and kind. You are painting, too, every moment and with that knowing, make it beautiful, make it kind, make it tolerant and make it divine. July is reminding us of The Vastness of Being and will live in us, through this reminder, through this sweet and gentle reminder.
