Festival life

On this powerful Leo new moon I thought it was time to do a post. Since June we have unexpectedly been on the road with our market stalls with one festival leading to another. It all started with a Sober Rave hosted by our friends in June and has snowballed since! It really is a dream come true and we cannot believe some of the amazing festivals we have managed to now be a part of. So far we have done:

Ignite Sober Rave, Halifax

Stand in the Light, Cumbria

Eden Festival, Lockerbie, Scotland

Summer Solstice at Castlerigg Stone Circle

Landed Festival, Wales

We are now the proud owners of a big professional marquee and all the gear to go with it. Thank you to the amazing festivals and crew that we have experienced and met so far, and we can't wait to do more and more of it.

We are taking a break from our weekly markets on Tod and Hebden to Catch us at:

Jam for Freedom, St Albans on 8 - 11 August. Down to the last 24 tickets.

Beautiful Days, Devon on 16 - 18 August. SOLD OUT.

Solfest, Solway Coast, Cumbria on 22 - 25 August.

Somewhere in Derbyshire for a sober gathering at the end of August (I don't have the information as I write this)

Roll on a full month of festival life.

This Leo new moon is all about creativity and getting out there with it, so it looks like we are exactly where we should be, and so are you! Quoting one of my favourite astrologers, Wendy who runs Naked Numerology says:

Welcome a gorgeous New Moon in fierce Leo! The day you have been waiting for is here! This beautiful lunation will roar in creative Leo on Sunday, August 4 at 7:13 AM EDT; 12°, inviting you to be open to explore so you can dream big! Everything you have learned is integrating and finding new pathways of expression. Leo inspires you to light the fire within. Manifest your destiny with confidence. Leo (ruled by the Sun) is a Fire sign and rules the 5th house of creative self-expression, artistic skills, children, entertainment, pleasure, romance, speculation and risk-taking in Astrology. What you are passionate about manifesting, is represented in your 5th house.

The vibrant New Moon and Sun are both in Leo (leadership). Leo inspires admiration and affection in others bringing excitement, passion, courage, and strength. Leo is about child-like enthusiasm and self-expression. Leo is the sign of royalty and rules the heart.

The New Moon in dramatic Leo brings a natural enthusiasm. Leo is big on romancing and being romanced, perhaps more than all the other signs. A Leo Moon placement is happiest when love is in full bloom. The Leo Moon is generous and trusting. Your mindset can change your life.

A fiery New Moon arrives in courageous Leo on Sunday, August 4 invoking energy for new beginnings and dramatic adventures. Leo rules cultural events, so enjoy attending concerts and visiting art museums. Become a legend in your own life. Be a leader in your kingdom. August is going to be a breakthrough month for you. Plant seeds of intention.

Amazing August is here! Expect the pace of life to be fun, expressive, romantic, and exciting with the Sun traveling through generous and courageous Leo from July 22 until August 22. May August bring you positive changes in your life and manifesting all that your heart desires! The Universe is working in your favor.

The overwhelmingly positive energies at Sunday’s New Moon in fierce Leo are so strong that they dominate and are reinforced throughout the rest of the workweek and echo this uplifting energy over the next six months.
