Pip: The archangelic calendar doesn’t care that you forgot to mark your planner — the Blue Moon, the solstice, and the full Strawberry Moon are all arriving on schedule whether you’re ready or not.

Mara: Joseph Anthony Amoroso has been busy mapping that schedule. This episode covers ritual practice tied to major celestial events, and the archangelic cycle currently shaping what’s available to us energetically.

Pip: Let’s start with the moon phases and what the rituals actually ask you to do.

Moon Phase Rituals and the Turning Year

Mara: Three pujas sit at the center of this segment — the Full Blue Moon, the Summer Solstice, and the Full Strawberry Moon — each structured as a directional practice you move through physically, facing East, South, West, North, and the compass points between.

Pip: The Blue Moon puja opens with a framing line that sets the tone for all of them: “We use nature as a rhythmic reminder, a friend, an ally, and an inspiration. Everything can be done in a divine light if we maintain this underlying tone.”

Mara: So the whole architecture rests on that premise — nature as a living collaborator, not a backdrop. The directions aren’t decorative; each one carries a specific element and emotional register you’re meant to evoke while speaking the intention aloud.

Pip: The Blue Moon version leans hard into release — fear, self-doubt, resentment, the works get sent out through what the text calls an Exit Portal. The Summer Solstice puja swings the other way entirely, wrapping every direction in Golden Flame and asking you to envision and lock onto what it calls a Golden Timeline.

Mara: The Full Strawberry Moon puja threads both impulses together — it opens with clearing lower energies, then pivots to timeline-setting. The closing line spoken aloud after meditation is: “I am refreshed, I am clean! I am now living on the best possible timeline available.”

Pip: Which is either the most optimistic alarm-clock replacement ever written, or genuinely useful framing for how to close a ritual.

Mara: The structure is consistent across all three: directional intentions, elemental engulfments, honest self-inventory, and meditation. The Blue Moon version is the most expansive, adding a collective dimension — standing as a representative of all earthlings and calling for peace and cooperation.

Pip: That collective layer is what distinguishes it from a personal practice. The ritual asks you to hold both your own inventory and humanity’s at the same time.

Mara: Which sets up the next territory naturally — the archangelic field that’s described as active during this same period.

The Archangelic Cycle: Revelation Over Restoration

Pip: The Archangelic Cycle post names nine archangels working in concert this passage, and it draws a sharp line between what this cycle is and what previous ones were.

Mara: The post frames it directly: “The question is no longer: ‘How do I heal?’ The question becomes: ‘What am I now ready to become?'”

Pip: That’s a real pivot. The cycle isn’t about recovery — it’s about activation. Raziel brings hidden knowledge to the surface, Haniel works emotional intelligence and lunar wisdom, Michael covers courage and boundaries, Raphael handles healing that’s still in progress.

Mara: Archangel Fortuna’s entry is worth noting specifically: her energy is described as most active when gratitude is practiced, opportunities are acted upon, and fear is released. The post adds, “Fortuna opens doors, but individuals must still choose to walk through them.”

Pip: The companion New Moon Puja for this same cycle gives each of those nine archangels a directional assignment — Raziel at the East for hidden wisdom, Haniel at the Southeast for grace through transformation, and so on around the compass.

Mara: The cycle post closes with a line that anchors the whole framework: “The future is not demanding perfection. It is inviting participation.”

Pip: Release at the Blue Moon, golden timelines at the solstice, nine archangels asking what you’re ready to become — it’s a busy few weeks on the celestial calendar.

Mara: The throughline is participation — showing up to the practice, facing the direction, speaking the words. The next episode will have more to work with as the season continues.
