Eclipse Eve

This is the Eclipse Eve of the 2nd eclipse in the trio of eclipses of this summer. The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse. Now we pay closer attention to our dreams, sleeping as well as waking. What are waking dreams? The ones that wake us up to feel inspired suddenly out of the blue. Eclipses do that- suddenly change things, inspire ideas, spark the fire into life- our life! As most Lunar Eclipses, this one clears things out of our lives, and clears up ambiguity- especially in our past (Moon). Then, this new opening can automatically attract ideal circumstances, people, employment and many other things so that we can develop better skills to help us deal with the next eclipse of the sun!

New Moon Solar Eclipse

This is the New Moon, Solar Eclipse in Gemini. It is a time of fresh, new inspiration, new seeding of ideas while enjoying the ageless, timeless part of our Divinity. A time to be in peaceful balance, out with the old, in with the new-balanced with make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold.

Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day! May we always remember the ultimate and so final sacrifice our soldier heros have made for Americans to have our Freedom, Liberty, Honor & Justice!

A SOLDIER DIED TODAY

Originally Titled, "JUST A COMMON SOLDIER"

by A. Lawrence Vaincourt

©1985

He was getting old and paunchy and his hair was falling fast,

And he sat around the Legion, telling stories of the past

Of a war that he had fought in and the deeds that he had done,

In his exploits with his buddies; they were heroes, every one.

And tho' sometimes, to his neighbors, his tales became a joke,

All his Legion buddies listened, for they knew whereof he spoke.

But we'll hear his tales no longer for old Bill has passed away,

And the world's a little poorer, for a soldier died today.

He will not be mourned by many, just his children and his wife,

For he lived an ordinary and quite uneventful life.

Held a job and raised a family, quietly going his own way,

And the world won't note his passing, though a soldier died today.

When politicians leave this earth, their bodies lie in state,

While thousands note their passing and proclaim that they were great.

Papers tell their whole life stories, from the time that they were young,

But the passing of a soldier goes unnoticed and unsung.

Is the greatest contribution to the welfare of our land

A guy who breaks his promises and cons his fellow man?

Or the ordinary fellow who, in times of war and strife,

Goes off to serve his Country and offers up his life?

A politician's stipend and the style in which he lives

Are sometimes disproportionate to the service that he gives.

While the ordinary soldier, who offered up his all,

Is paid off with a medal and perhaps, a pension small.

It's so easy to forget them for it was so long ago,

That the old Bills of our Country went to battle, but we know

It was not the politicians, with their compromise and ploys,

Who won for us the freedom that our Country now enjoys.

Should you find yourself in danger, with your enemies at hand,

Would you want a politician with his ever-shifting stand?

Or would you prefer a soldier, who has sworn to defend

His home, his kin and Country and would fight until the end?

He was just a common soldier and his ranks are growing thin,

But his presence should remind us we may need his like again.

For when countries are in conflict, then we find the soldier's part

Is to clean up all the troubles that the politicians start.

If we cannot do him honor while he's here to hear the praise,

Then at least let's give him homage at the ending of his days.

Perhaps just a simple headline in a paper that would say,

Our Country is in mourning, for a soldier died today.

Enjoy today and Thank a Veteran/Soldier! They are responsible for the many freedoms we have in our great country, USA! That is why we memorialize these Heros on Memorial Day. Go to a National Cemetery and notice the headstones- most of our Warriors who gave their life were very young, notice that they also teach us about time, and timelessness!

Eclipses of the Summer

Eclipse Season is here! These eclipses are the Eclipses of the Summer. There are usually two pairs of eclipses in each year, with two eclipses in each pair. This summer brings three eclipses:
Solar eclipse June 1st ~Good
Lunar eclipse June 15th ~Better
Solar eclipse July 1st ~Best
Fun, Fun, Fun!

Each one brings changes into our lives, each has different ways and means. The astronomy, astrology, science & spirit of eclipses are well known throughout the ages. The New Moon Solar Eclipse of June 1 will bring truthfulness to light and shine like a laser beam on new things in your life, this is good. Then the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse of June 15 will bring sudden endings, this better. The July 1st Eclipse will be a more difficult one, but will bring the Best rewards, which is the end of this round of eclipses. Save the best for last!

Springtime in the Rockies

The Ski slopes are opening up fo the weekends, since we have so much snow! We can go skiing on Memorial Day weekend this year! I do remember years were we went skiing on the 4th of July! This is what Springtime in the Rockies is all about! Let it snow!

No Doomsday, No Rapture

No doomsday or rapture yet... we are all still here! It is true that NO ONE knows the day or the time of the end of this world, or even the end of our own life, let alone anyone else's. The good preacher who wrongfully predicted this day as the end of days, is also still here- so far. Personally, I don't look to others for prophecy, since I have enough intuition to make my own prophecies, if I were so inclined- as do we all. It takes intense focus & concentration to be in touch with your inner self and your Highest Good or God. Not very many people want to have that level of focus from what I can tell. Most people don't even have the desire to attain the focus. Intuition is a natural ability, and is also a natural investment, and needs to be practiced, perfected, protected and tested often. The rewards are great, as in living life to the full, instead of predicting death to the world.

Medicines of Light

We have all been talking more about our water, how to get it purified of toxins, use for protection and healing, etc. Here is a blog by Tom Kenyon about this same subject. Reiki Masters and other Healers have been aware of Medicines of Light for awhile, but the majority of people have never heard of this. It is indeed our birthright as Human Beings to use water in healing; consider Holy Water used in Sacred Rituals...
Some would sell you expensive purifiers and "alkalizing machines" which I have NO COMMENT about. Just know you have this method within you always and forever!
~Laurie

Medicines of Light: Protection and Healing from Radiation Poisoning, Neurotoxins, Bacteria and Viruses. from the Hathors of Venus via Tom Kenyon posted 3/16/11 With the earthquake in New Zealand, followed by the earthquake in Japan, it is clear that you have entered a more complex phase of the Chaotic Node. We wish to impart a method for protection and healing from radiation poisoning as well as other physical conditions. We call this Medicines of Light.This is obviously related to current events unfolding in Japan, however, as future earth changes unfold, you may face similar challenges in your near future from other locations around the world. This method will assist you to both protect and heal yourself from exposure, not only to radioactivity, but also to neurotoxins and to mutating forms of bacteria and viruses. From our perspective you can expect to see an increase of these in your near timeline. The method involves connecting to your Celestial Soul, the BA. This action is to connect to the realms of light that are a part of your being. Everything that exists in your cosmos can be viewed as a qualification or energetic expression of light-even your densest forms of matter are essentially a form of light. In this method you connect to your Celestial Soul, holding the intent and expectation that it will impart to you an energetic that protects and/or heals you. You send this intent to your Celestial Soul with the emotional vibration of appreciation or gratitude. This is simply the vibrational resonance that activates this higher aspect of your being. Once you send this intent conjoined with appreciation or gratitude to your BA, you shift your awareness into your heart chakra, receiving the energetic of healing or protection into the heart chakra. You might experience this energetic as a form of light, or as geometric patterns, or you may feel the sensation of a descent of energy. You may also experience this energetic simply as a thought/feeling. Once the energetic is received in the heart chakra, it is ready to send. For this phase you will need some pure water, since water holds this type of information extremely well. Holding a container of water in your hands, through intent, you send this energy that is in the heart chakra down the arms into the hands and through the chakras that are in the center of each palm. The energetic enters the water through this pathway. We suggest you amplify this energetic by repeating the procedure three times, for a total of three times-two more times in addition to the first. You then drink the water. The water permeates the water element of your body, and the healing and protective qualities eventually enter every cell. Through this action you are qualifying light, causing it to descend through the central pathway of your body into your heart and sending it into the water element. The consciousness of the water receives this energetic, and when you drink it, the body receives it. If you find yourself in a situation where you have been exposed to radioactivity you would engage this procedure as we have described it, qualifying the energy that descends from the BA to protect and heal you from any possibility of radiation poisoning. If you have other means to protect yourself, you should obviously engage these as well, but even if you are left with nothing but the tools of your own consciousness, you can protect and heal yourself. If you have been exposed to neurotoxins you would do the same. If you are in the midst of an epidemic that involves bacterial or viral infections, we advise you to do the same. As you collectively enter more deeply into this more complex and intense phase of the Chaotic Node, bacteria and viruses will mutate faster. This method will allow you to protect and heal yourself from these mutating life forms. It is important to understand that you are creating the protection and healing through the powers of your own consciousness. You have direct access to your own light realms. You have the sovereign right to engage the light realms on your own behalf and on the behalf of your loved ones. If you find yourself in one of these difficult situations we have described, we suggest you take the Medicine of Light-which is the water that you have charged-several times a day, as your intuition guides you. The physical ramifications of the earthquake activity in Japan and the resulting tsunami are very difficult to deal with. But we wish to shift our attention from the physical to the mental, emotional, and spiritual effects created by such a disaster, Due to the fact that you are in a Chaotic Node and energies from deep space conjoined with solar flare activity are affecting your energy bodies, you, as a collective, are more affected. What we mean by this is that witnessing the suffering of your fellow humans shatters the heart. There is a recognition that their predicament could easily be yours. This recognition can create an opening in your heart, and it is through the heart-your heart-that higher states of consciousness are realized, and so the earthquake in Japan is, in many ways, an earthquake of the collective heart. The times before you are not easy. From our perspective, increased earth changes are upon you. But one result of such events is that you are shaken to your roots and the mass hypnosis pauses for a moment. And in such utter and surrealistic devastation, many of you see very clearly that your civilization rests on tenuous grounds. We mean this both literally and figuratively. And so our advice for this phase of the Chaotic Node is to learn and master the ability to create Medicines of Light for yourself, so that when the time arises, you know how to engage this power of protection and healing that you possess in your very nature. And we suggest you navigate through these times not only with your minds, but with your hearts-and let your hearts be touched, for it is through your hearts that you will ascend the spiral pathway to your own greatness. The HathorsMarch 16, 2011
Tom's Thoughts and ObservationsI have been channeling the Hathors for about twenty years now and started posting their Planetary Messages in February of 2003. And in all that time I have never sensed in them such an urgency to post one of their communications. Usually, I am given several days to dwell on and contemplate their messages before writing my comments. But that luxury does not exist in this moment. They have asked Judi and me to post this particular message as soon as possible, and so I will make my comments brief and to the point. The central message here is that all human beings have the ability to create what the Hathors call Medicines of Light. And this type of medicine has an inherent capability and potential to protect and heal us not only from radioactive poisoning, but also from the effects of neurotoxins, as well as bacterial and viral infections. The method is simple and to the point. Since some of you reading this may be new to the whole idea of a Celestial Soul (or BA), let me clarify its location and how to engage it. The BA, or Celestial Soul, is an aspect of your own consciousness that is outside the constraints of time and space. Some of you might refer to the Celestial Soul as the Higher Self. But whatever you call it, your Celestial Soul exists in what the Hathors call the light realms, and this aspect of you is engaged whenever you send it appreciation or gratitude. Your BA does not have a location in time and space since it is transcendent to both. But it does have an entry point to your energy field, which is about arm's distance above your head. If you were to raise your hands over your head and touch your fingertips together, your fingers would be in the vicinity of this entry point. And this is where you place your attention in the first phase of their method for creating a Medicine of Light. (Do note that placing of your hands above your head is only for orientation purposes. You do not actually put your hands over your head when creating the Medicines of Light). Once you place your awareness in the area of your BA point, you hold in your mind the qualification of light you wish to receive. Let's say, for example, that you have been, or will be, exposed to dangerous forms of radioactivity and are in danger of radiation poisoning. After focusing your attention on your BA point above your head, hold the intent that the energy that descends from your BA will be an energetic of healing and/or protection from radiation poisoning. You then send the feeling of appreciation or gratitude upward from your heart chakra to the BA point above your head-as you hold the intent or qualification that the energetic imparted to you from your BA will protect and/or heal you from radiation poisoning. Next you shift your attention from your BA point to your heart chakra (in the center of your chest beneath the sternum) and then wait to receive the energetic of protection and healing from your BA. Those of you new to this may need to send the intent or qualification along with the feeling of appreciation or gratitude to your BA several times before you notice a response. But just keep sending this intention joined with the feeling of appreciation or gratitude upward to your BA until you feel a descent of energy. When you feel the descent of energy from your Celestial Soul, shift your awareness to your heart chakra. Allow your heart center to receive this energetic of protection and healing. You then place your hands around or over a container of pure water and send this energetic received from your Celestial Soul into the water. The energetic of healing and/or protection that has entered your heart center will move down your arms and into the water through the two chakras that are in the center of the palm of each hand. Repeat this process for a total of three times. Then drink the water. If you are in a precarious situation, the Hathors advise that you create a Medicine of Light several times a day and drink it according to your intuition. As the Hathors point out, Medicines of Light have many more applications than just protection and healing from radiation poisoning. You can use these to protect and/or heal yourself from neurotoxins, as well as bacterial and viral infections. Although they did not mention it, I asked the Hathors after they gave this message if the method would work for other physical challenges such as cancer. And they said that Medicines of Light could most definitely be created in the same way to deal with this type of situation-as well as others. Obviously, if you are dealing with a serious situation such as radiation poisoning, exposure to neurotoxins, and/or epidemics of bacterial and viral infections, you will want to avail yourself of all medical remedies. In other words, this method is not meant to replace medical or public health solutions, but is meant to be an adjunct, something you can do yourself-for yourself. After giving their message, I asked the Hathors about making Medicines of Light for those who are unable to do it for themselves, like children and pets. They said that you would use the same method, except for the fact that you would qualify the intent for the child or animal you are going to give the Medicine to. For example, if you were creating a Medicine of Light to protect or heal yourself from radiation poisoning, you would send the thought that the energetic you are going to receive from your Celestial Soul is for your own personal protection or healing. If you were going to do this for a child or a pet, you would send the thought that the energetic you are going to receive from your Celestial Soul is for the protection or healing of the being you are going to give the Medicine to, i.e. your child or your pet. It is here that I would like to interject something. It is far better to teach someone how to create a Medicine of Light than to create a dependency. The ability to create Medicines of Light is an inherent ability in all human beings. It is part of our multidimensional legacy. And to empower someone to do this for him or her self is a service to his or her mastery. I would personally hate to see this method being used by "healers" to create Medicines of Light for others under the guise that they have some special powers that others do not. This method for creating Medicines of Light is a human birthright, and my feeling is that it should be shared with all persons. There is much that I would like to share about this simple method for creating Medicines of Light, but philosophical and metaphysical observations will have to wait for another time. The Hathors are insistent that we post this information and circulate it as quickly as is possible.

HAPPY EASTER!

Easter Blessings to ALL! The Easter Egg Hunt is always fun, the Easter Brunch delicious and the fellowship fantastic! I love the symbology of the empty tomb, Christ rising from the dead so we all can live fully and be with Him in Paradise when our living here is done!

Pyramids- Mayan

Pyramids are and always have been very important in the evolution of the consciousness of humanity. They are one of my favorite structures! Used for healing, preserving, and many other things, they are as ancient as it gets- as well as modern as it will be in the future! Here is great information on the Mayan Pyramids from the expert on the Mayan Calendar and Pyramids, Carl Johan Calleman from Sweden:

The Nine Underworlds of the Cosmos and their corresponding levels of Consciousness

According to ancient Mayan beliefs the Cosmos was made up by Nine Underworlds. This fundamental idea was expressed very powerfully through their most important pyramids, the Pyramid of the Plumed Serpent in Chichen-Itza, the Pyramid of the Jaguar in Tikal and the Temple of the Inscriptions in Palenque, which were all built with Nine different stories. Now where are these Nine Underworlds? the modern person may ask. Being currently unable to observe this aspect of reality people have in recent centuries for the most part tended to dismiss such ancient myths of different worlds as mere myths or fantasies. If we seek to dismiss the idea of the Nine Underworlds as a mere myth it however becomes difficult to dismiss such ancient myths of different worlds as mere myths or fantasies. If we seek to dismiss the idea of the Nine Underworlds as a mere myth it however becomes difficult to explain that the number Nine seems to have been regarded as a Holy number of fundamental importance in so many different cultures, cultures that certainly did not enjoy extensive contacts. Thus, in the Far East Nine-storied pagodas are commonly occurring, among the Jews there were Nine doors to the holiest part of the Temple and there are Nine arms of the Hanukkah candelabra. Among the Muslims the Holy month of Ramadan is the Ninth month of the year and in Viking mythology the Cosmos was described as being composed by Nine worlds. Thus people in different parts of the world all symbolically expressed the holiness of the number Nine. Maybe then there is some kind of universal truth underlying this number, some profound reason that it has independently in different cultures come to be considered as holy. When the Christian missionaries heard about the Nine Underworlds of the Maya they interpreted these as Hells, but this seems to be way off the mark. If these were Hells, or some locations below the surface of the earth as some have inferred, why then would the Mayan kings have climbed to the top of these supposed Hells to perform sacred rituals on the pyramids. Rather than a hierarchical structure of Hells the Mayan pyramids were viewed as World Mountains - symbols of the Cosmos. And since we ourselves are living in the Cosmos it thus seems more reasonable that the Underworlds are located right here in the physical world "Below" - where we ourselves are living our lives. Why then Nine Underworlds? Why not just one Underworld? To answer this we need to look at the longer cycles of time described by the Maya and see how these conform to the facts and datings for key steps in Cosmic evolution provided by modern science. We should then first note that similarly to the pyramids raised by the Maya their calendrical system is also hierarchical in nature, and in the Table above there are Nine different time cycles linked to the 360-day year, the tun. A sequence of Thirteen such time periods would then make up a creation cycle of Thirteen Heavens with the specified durations. Thus, each of the Nine Underworlds was created through a sequence of Thirteen Heavens. To exemplify, the longest of the tun-based time cycles was the hablatun of 460 800 000 000 days = 1.26 billion years. Thirteen such hablatuns makes up a creation cycle of a total duration of 13 x 1.26 = 16.4 billion years that created the lowest, the first Underworld. This is a curious finding since this time period, 16.4 billion years, is very close to the age of the universe, 15 billion years, the time when matter first emerged from light (Big Bang) The beginning of the creation of the First Underworld thus coincides well with the current best estimate of the beginning of Creation. This is a fact with very far-reaching consequences, since it means that all we today know to exist - all that has come into existence in the universe since the Big Bang - is included in the time span of the most basic of the creation cycles, the cycle of thirteen hablatuns, which creates the first of the Nine Underworlds. Mayan calendrics and the Mayan cosmology of Nine Underworlds and Thirteen Heavens is thus a tool for exploring all of creation! Upon this the most basic of the Nine Underworlds, are then built eight other Underworlds each carrying and developing a special frame of consciousness for the life that it creates. In this way a hierarchical nine-leveled structure is created where lower levels of consciousness provide the foundation for new and higher levels. Each of these nine creation cycles thus gives rise to a specific Underworld and each of these Underworlds is characterised by a certain frame, or dimension, of consciousness. This frame of consciousness is then created in a series of thirteen steps, through the sequential influence of Thirteen Heavens. The beginnings of these sequences of Thirteen Heavens are marked by crucial events in cosmic evolution such as we know them from the datings of modern science, and such initiatory events are listed in the Table above At the present time we are beginning to enter the eighth level of consciousness of the cosmic pyramid, based on the foundation provided by the seven lower levels. This eighth level may be referred to as the galactic frame of consciousness as it will step by step lead humanity to identify primarily with the galaxy. The highest level of consciousness, the Universal, will be attained through the workings of the Ninth Underworld in the year 2011 and will result in a timeless cosmic consciousness, and a citizenship in the universe, on the part of humanity.

In the middle column are listed the phenomena that initiate the evolution of these different Underworlds and to the right of these the types, or levels, of consciousness that they serve to develop. While the evolution of the Four lower levels of consciousness are all expressed as biological evolution the Five highest levels of consciousness carry the evolution of the cultural, technological and spiritual aspects of the human being. At the present time human beings are also beginning to develop a meta-consciousness, an awareness of the evolution of consciousness, that allows her to look upon creation from a higher perspective than the "frog perspective" of everyday human life. The Cosmic Consciousness of Universal Man as prophecised in many spiritual traditions is increasingly becoming a real possibility.

Spring/Vernal Equinox

This spring/vernal equinox the Full Moon is a Supermoon, the Sun is in Aries, daytime is equal to nightime and the Cosmic Alignments are heating up! The transformational changes in our own lives empower us and help us to become aligned with the direction our soul is taking towards awakening and crystal clear clarity. Those gifts will remain with us if we remain conscious and aware, and focused on that which is real. The photos are coming in: More photos at this link. They are really amazing!

Super Full Moon

In the media and news is a good story about tonight's Full Moon, which is a Super Moon due to the closeness and the magnified size in perigee. It will be larger than any other full moon in 18 years. This is indeed newsworthy, but stay tune for bigger news tomorrow, the Spring Vernal Equinox.

This is a great summary of supermoon from Molly Hall, astrologer:

This Saturday's Full Moon Virgo will be as close as it gets to Earth -- called perigee, and in line with the Sun and Moon. Any New or Full Moon, that's very close to the Earth, is a Supermoon, according to the man who coined it thirty years ago, Richard Nolle.
Since it's come up in mainstream media, he clarified his definition of the Supermoon. We've already had one in January, and there are usually 4 to 6 a year.
Nolle writes, "SuperMoons are noteworthy for their close association with extreme tidal forces working in what astrologers of old used to call the sublunary world: the atmosphere, crust and oceans of our home planet - including ourselves, of course."
And look out, it's another Full Moon at the anaretic or last degree of 29! That means it's a wrap up for Virgo-Pisces - we get the master class now in these energies. The exquisitely subtle, the magic of universal healing forces - often there's a calling to be of service to something higher than the Self. It's an axis of devoting personal energies, to the highest good, that often comes with a humility of surrender.
Mutable Moons shake things up, and in this earth sign, opposite to water sign Pisces, that can mean more earth changes. It's also a chance to shift shape, to adapt, and feel the fluidity of the moment. There's the planetary body, and then there's your own body and its atmosphere. It's a chance to detox your air (thoughts), water (emotions), physical space (earth) or obstacles to living with passion (fire.)
I'm sensing the need to get stronger spiritually, and to fully consecrate myself, to live with the sacred and the Earth. I'm not sure what that means yet, but this Full Moon along the Virgo/Pisces axis is ideal for that kind of dedication. Sandra Ingerman wrote today about the need to flex the spiritual muscles, to meet the intensity of this moment.
She writes, "We must learn to honor the rite of passage and initiation that humankind is going through. We are experiencing levels of death on many levels. Death is not an end but rather is a transition." One of her books, by the way, is about How to Heal Toxic Thoughts.
Last night, I dreamt -- or was given instructions -- to prepare for emergency. The emergence is the birth, and more and more, I'm seeing the Earth cracking out of its egg (the crust). And seeing the miracle of it, in the midst of the tragedy. In my dream, I knew it wasn't about stocking up on more canned sardines (which I've done), but preparing mind-body-spirit -- the holistic atmosphere.
With the Virgo-Pisces Moon this Saturday, it's a chance to come back to your personal planet and its atmosphere, the state of your mind, body and spirit. If you're wanting to be a healing presence, what preparations and adjustments have to be made now? This Full Moon can be one of miracles, a cosmic alignment to your path of service.
In the days leading up to the Full Moon, tune in to your own atmosphere. Invite the healing energies, and surrender to them. I like simple rituals, like lighting a white 7-Day candle. Today, I'll be taking a break from the "news" and the EMF of the computer, to sit under my favorite trees. I'll have the Full Moon chart with me, and be writing some notes on it for tomorrow. Be well!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Today we all are 'putting on the green' for Eire (Ireland). In the old days you would get pinched if you didn't wear green. Eire is truly green, called also The Olde Sod, due to the expansive green grass. Golf courses are the best there, I hear (I don't golf). Corned Beef & cabbage- what a good meal with Irish soda bread, of course. Find a four leaf clover and make a wish come true, find a leprechaun and the gold at the end of a rainbow- all in all a lucky day!

100th International Women's Day

Happy 100th Anniversary to International Women's Day Celebration! 1911-2011

Bloggers all over the world are blogging about equal rights & equal opportunity!

The International Women's Day Centenary should make the women of past proud, the women of current inspired, and the women of the future envisioned.

Here are some notable quotes from some notable women:

Laurie L Grant, Medical Multidimensional Energy Healer Love is Good for the Body, Better for the Mind, and Best for the Soul!

Harriet Beecher Stowe, writer Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

Nadezhda Mandelstam, Russian writer, Hope Against Hope I decided it is better to scream. Silence is the real crime against humanity.

Astrologically Speaking

AN ASTROLOGICAL ALLEGORY

And it was morning as God stood before his twelve Children, and into each of them planted the seed of human life. One by one each child stepped forward to receive his or her appointed gift.....
To you Aries - I give my seed first that you might have the honor of planting it. That for every seed you plant one million more will multiply in your hand. You will not have time to see the seed grow, for everything you plant creates more that must be planted. You will be the first to penetrate the soil of men's minds with My Idea. But it is not your job to nourish the Idea, nor to question it. Your life is action, and the only action I ascribe to you is to begin making men aware of My Creation. For your good work I give you the virtue of Self-Esteem.... Quietly, Aries stepped back into place.
To you Taurus- I give the power to build the seed into substance. Your job is a great one requiring patience, for you must finish all that has been started, or the seeds will be wasted to the wind. You are not to question nor change your mind in the middle, nor to depend on others for what I ask you to do. For this I give you the gift of Strength. Use it wisely.... And Taurus stepped back into place.
To you Gemini - I give the questions without the answers, so that you may bring to all an understanding of what people see around them. You will never know why people speak or listen, but in your quest for the answer you will find my gift of Knowledge.... And Gemini stepped back into place.
To you Cancer - I scribe the task of teaching people about emotion. My Idea is for you to cause them laughter and tears so that all they see and think develops fullness from inside. For this I give you the gift of Family, that your fullness may multiply.... And Cancer stepped back into place.
To you Leo - I give the job of displaying my Creation in all its brilliance to the world. But you must be careful of pride and always remember that it is My Creation, not yours. For if you forget this, people will scorn you. There is much joy in the job I give you if you but do it well. For this you are to have the gift of Honor.... And Leo stepped back into place.
To you Virgo - I ask for an examination of all that humankind has done with my Creation. You are to scrutinize their ways sharply and remind them of their errors, so that through them my Creation may be perfected. For doing this I give you the gift of Purity of Thought.... And Virgo stepped back into place.
To you Libra - I give the mission of service, that man may be mindful of his duties to others. That he may learn cooperation, as well as the ability to reflect the other side of his actions. I will put you everywhere there is discord, and for your efforts I will give you the gift of Love.... And Libra stepped back into place.
To you Scorpio - I give a very difficult task. You will have the ability to know the minds of men, but I do not permit you to speak about what you learn. Many times you will be pained by what you see, and in your pain you will turn away from Me and forget that it is not I, but the perversion of My Idea, that is causing your pain. You will see much of man that you will come to know him as animal, and will wrestle so much with his animal instincts in yourself that you will lose your way; but when you finally come back to me, Scorpio, I have for you the supreme gift of Purpose.... And Scorpio stepped back into place.
To you Sagittarius - I ask that you make people laugh, for amidst their misunderstanding of My Idea they become bitter. Through laughter you are to give man hope, and through hope turn his eyes back to Me. You will touch many lives if but only for a moment, and you will know the restlessness in every life you touch. To you Sagittarius I give the gift of Infinite Abundance, that you may spread wide enough to reach into every corner of darkness and bring it light.... And Sagittarius stepped back into place.
Of you Capricorn - I ask the toil of your brow, that you might teach men to work. Your task is not an easy one, for you will feel all of man's labors on your shoulders; but for the yoke of your burdens I put the Responsibility of man in your hands.... And Capricorn stepped back into place.
To you Aquarius - I give the concept of future that man might see other possibilities. You will have the pain of loneliness, for I do not allow you to personalize My Love. But for turning man's eyes to new possibilities I give you the gift of Freedom, that in your liberty you may continue to serve mankind wherever he needs you.... And Aquarius stepped back into place.
To you Pisces - I give the most difficult task of all. I ask you to collect all of man's sorrow and return it to me. Your tears are to be ultimately my tears. The sorrow you will absorb is the effect of man's misunderstanding My Idea, but you are to give him compassion that he may try again. For this, the most difficult task of all, I give you the greatest gift of all. You will be the only one of my twelve children to understand me. But this gift of Understanding is for you, Pisces, for when you try to spread it to man he will not listen.... And Pisces stepped back into place.
Then God said, "You each have part of My Idea. You must not mistake that part for all of My Idea, nor may you desire to trade parts with each other. For each one of you is perfect, but you will not know that until all twelve of you are ONE. For then the whole of My Idea will be revealed to each of you."
And the Children left, each determined to do his job best that he might receive his gift. But none fully understood their task or gift, and when they returned, puzzled, God said...
"You each believe that the other gifts are better. Therefore, I will allow you to trade."
And for the moment each Child was elated as he considered all the possibilities of his new mission. But God smiled as he said...
"You will return to Me many times asking to be relieved of your mission, and each time I will grant you your wish. You will go through countless incarnations before you complete the original mission I have prescribed to you. I give you countless time in which to do it, but only when it is done, can you be with Me."

Numerology

Today is 2-22-11- notice the two's. This is the day for two's, people who like everything in two's are more common than you would think! This is also Pisces time & Pisces is signified by 2 Fishes- one coming into life and one leaving...

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day, in this month of Love, in this year of Friendship, in this 21st Century, in this wild, wonderful Universe of never ending Unconditional Love! Be Mine! Be my Valentine!

Happy Valentine Eve

I usually celebrate Valentine's Day on the Eve of Valentine's Day. The reason is not obscure- simply the celebration is less hectic when started early, and reservations are easier to get. In fact, I remember a particular Valentine Eve, when a snowstorm came in suddenly on the 13th, we couldn't get reservations for the 14th at a nice restaurant, but we got the 13th, due to the storm. When we arrived in our 4WD, we were the only ones in the entire place! Of course, not only did we recieve very special VIP service from the only waiter there, but the owner and the chef came out to talk to us and tell us how happy they were that we were there. We even offered them a ride home, due to the storm, but they said that they had to stay and get ready for the crowd they were going to have the next day.

The Healing of Medicine

Since I am intimately involved in this ongoing struggle between medicine and metaphysics, science and spirituality, being a medical professional, as well as having a passion for all of the above, I love this by Lynn Hayes in her blog, Astrological Musings:
"Chiron in Pisces: The Healing of Medicine"
It’s unusual to find an established medical professional talking about the supernatural and healing powers, but it coincides perfectly with the entry of Chiron into Pisces. At a time when the field of medicine is spiritually bankrupt and desperately in need of an overhaul, perhaps this infusion of spiritual awareness into the way we think about our physical bodies is emblematic of what Chiron in Pisces has to offer.
I like to think of Chiron as the “Soul Healer” rather than the wounded healer – Chiron is instrumental in helping to clear the emotional and physical wounds that we bring into this life so that the soul can progress. Chiron presides over the body/mind/spirit connection – the triad of influences that come together to make up the Human Being. Physical health alone is not sufficient to provide balance – the mind and spirit must also be well integrated in order to achieve optimum health.
Chiron was in Pisces in the late 1960s when Elisabeth Kubler Ross was waking up the medical establishment to a new sensitivity of death and the process of dying. Her book On Death and Dying was published in 1969 as Chiron was completing its passage through Pisces and helped to popularize the hospice care movement.
All of the talk today about health care reform is more about how to pay for health care than how to actually reform the health care system...
With Chiron in Pisces for the next nine years or so, the last stage of healing occurs at the soul level. This process began last year with the conjunction of Chiron and Neptune, the ruler of Pisces. Under this combination many of us were intensely aware of the longings of the soul within. Memories of past loves; mourning for those we’ve lost — all took on a more profound meaning as the doorway to the soul opened under Neptune’s guidance so that the healing of Chiron could begin to do its work. The Chironic healing process involves going back to the core wounds and exposing them to the air so that they can become healed. It’s not an easy process and requires a fair amount of courage, but when the healing is complete we gain a level of wisdom and cellular integration that is not otherwise possible.
While Chiron travels through Pisces there is a danger of falling into Piscean illusion which we often attempt as a shortcut on the way to spiritual bliss. Because of the tendency of Pisces to seek martyrdom and sacrifice, there is the danger of becoming lost IN the pain during the Chironic healing process rather than going THROUGH the pain as required. The Neptunian influence of Pisces tends to blur the boundaries of our relationships with others, so another danger of Chiron’s trip through Pisces is that of a codependent process of healing others rather than ourselves. Chiron represents the wound that we carry with us throughout our life – it never leaves us, which makes it tempting to try to heal the wounds of others instead. This kind of transference is not only ineffective, it can be dangerous and pollutes our relationships while preventing the soul integration that is necessary for our own healing. If we are careful not to get lost in the glamour that makes up the realm of Pisces and Neptune, there is tremendous potential during the Chiron trip through Pisces for a growing spiritual awareness and an integration of Universal consciousness into our own beings. This is the process that will carry us through any stress that results in the Cardinal alignments coming up over the next three years.
As our world shifts and changes around us, Chiron continues to facilitate the growing conversation between our inner Selves and the person that we think we are, enhancing our own experience of wholeness and, ultimately, bliss.
Bliss is not easily won in our physical world. The letting go of our individuality so that we can become reborn in the ecstasy of the divine is the lesson of Pisces, and in order to facilitate this transition we must release the individuality of Aquarius. Each sign of the zodiac leads into the next, and in this way we evolve in cycles through each turn of the wheel. This trip of Chiron through Pisces will coincide with the great social and global political clashes of Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Aries, suggesting that healing (Chiron) will come to us individually through a greater inward focus and attention to the spiritual side of life, a world that lies beyond the material plane. Because this is Chiron, though, in order to walk through the Piscean mists that keepus from our ultimate bliss, we must continue our healing journey and release any blocked energy from our wounded places that are holding us back so that we can move more easily into the bliss of ultimate Oneness.
Lynn, I salute you and Thank You!

1st Month almost over

The 1st month of the 11th year into the 21st Century almost over...
Is this a turning point or a center in the cycle? All year long, look for 1's or 11's and there will be a message in these numbers for us all!

Here we go!!!

With the full moon behind us and Jupiter going into Aries- we are all going forward into a bright new future! Hang on and hang in there! This is just the beginning, or as some say: This is the beginning of the beginning and the end of the end!

Moving through Life

Moving through Life, as we know it can be a challenge. Now we are in a new cycle, 2011. The flow of the energy has changed, even as recently as yesterday- being all ones. The energy shifts are dynamic right now, and will continue all year and into 2012. Just keep flowing along with the natural rhythm of time, without getting swept away.

1-11-11

All Ones- All One! We are all one, this day is a new start for all of us. Please look out for number one today...
Here is something that is a fun fact:
Take the last 2 digits of the year you were born and add it to the age you will be this year and it will equal 111!
All Ones!

Little Epiphanies

We all have Little Epiphanies when we "just know"! These are also called 'aha' moments, in the Jewish faith, they call this moment of "aha" a "kiss from God". An Epiphany is when a light bulb suddenly lights above your head. You suddenly 'get it', everything falls into place and you realize something:
A revelatory manifestation of a Divine Being.
A sudden manifestation of the essence or meaning of something.
A comprehension or perception of reality by means of a sudden intuitive realization.

A sudden realization or comprehension of the larger essence or meaning of something. This term is used in either a philosophical or literal sense to signify that the person has "found the last piece of the puzzle and now sees the whole picture," or has new information or experience, often insignificant by itself, that illuminates a deeper or numinous foundational frame of reference.

Well, today I just had that 'aha' moment and shared with my favorite children that I have now been alive 25 years past what anyone said was possible! Tomorrow, to be exact, is the day I died and had my own revelatory manifestation of a Divine Being~ Thank You for the memories!

Epiphany

The 12th Day of Christmas~ Epiphany, the Feast of the Magi, the 3 Kings Day! Great day for Manifesting! So get your Intentions together and really Intend today! Epiphany alive in the soul has three distinct impactson us. It asks us to 1) name our 3 gifts, 2) be aware of our destiny and 3) take the first step of manifestion.

This Holy Day, celebrated on Jan. 6, commemorates two key biblical events: the visit of the wise men, Magi, to the baby Jesus, and later, the baptism of Jesus by John The Baptist in the Jordan River. The Greek word "epiphaneia" means "divine appearance" or "manifestation." The wise men's visit means Christ has appeared to the Gentiles (non-Jews) and His baptism means His adult ministry has begun. These "twelve days of Christmas" refer to the span of time from Christmas to Epiphany.

New Moon Solar Eclipse

Today is a New Moon Solar Eclipse mainly seen in Europe, Mid-East and East, but the Dark energies are felt everywhere! This event will last 4.5 hrs, but the effects last 4.5 years, or 52 months! It is the 1st on in 2011, so will be prominent all year in effects such as lighting up and moving forward in our lives, careers, relationships- all Intentions! Great time for Intending what we desire in our life this year!

Solar Eclipse Eve & New Moon

Solar Eclipses are so powerful that they are felt for most of the year-especially when it is in January, as this one is. I am looking forward to what this eclipse is about, as it has such predictive, prophetic energies surrounding the New Moon archetype. This eclipse will only be seen in parts of Europe and the East, but with satellites, we will get the best pics!

Happy New Year

2011 is a year of 4 in numerology, but the energies of the number 11 are surpassing what the 4 holds...
2011 is Heaven

New Years Eve

How are we doing- waiting patiently for the New Year of 2011 to commence? This upcoming year is a distinct change from any other year so far in our lifetimes... it seems to be a bridge year into 2012- which is THE YEAR we have been waiting for, fearing and anticipating either a rapture or the end.

2010

Another year almost done! The blizzard tells us, it is not going easily! 2010- Tough to the end! How was this year for you? It was Zen for me, which is exactly what I intended at the beginning! Even driving in the cold, freezing and blowing snow today on my way home, when most were having a hard time, taking a long time, etc... The way was opened to me, the road was fine- no slipping or sliding (plenty of ice, though)- it was as if Angels were making a way for my trusty car to glide on through! I have really enjoyed the Zen! Namaste

Between Celebrations

This week, between celebrations, we all gear down, rest, relax, reflect and recharge. Starting to think about resolutions for the new, incoming year, as well as renumeration of successes in this outgoing year. What have we accomplished in 12 months? What is it we really want to do next? These are the 12 Days of Christmas of old, and our modern between holiday period.

Christmas

Christmas is my favorite time of the year! Blessings abound for everyone, everywhere! It is a special, sacred time for all of humanity, whether or not they are Christians. The proof of this is in the ancient as well as modern celebrations and overwhelming generosity of all people during this season. This is The Christ Consciousness present in us all. Be a Light in our world and do something really special that will bring a smile and happiness to a child or someone in need~ You will be Blessed Beyond Belief!

Winter Solstice

Winter Solstice, longest night of the year, shortest day of the year, Full Moon-"Long Cold Moon" Lunar Eclipse, Light Returning- all leading us to become more spiritual and reflective (especially during this mercury retrograde time) Numerology today: 12+21+ 2010= 3+3+3=9 and 9 is the number of completion- also did you notice the Eclipse started at 11:33 (here at MST) More 3's! Very spiritual and powerful numbers! What do they mean to you?...

Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse & Winter Solstice ALL Tonight!

CST 12:33am
MST 11:33pm
PST 10:33pm

This is Right On, as always- by Patricia Cota Robles:
December 21, 2010 - A POWERFUL OPPORTUNITY!
"We are in the midst of an incredible influx of Light. The Internet is buzzing with the fact that tonight we will experience not only the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, but also a very rare Full Moon Lunar Eclipse. This eclipse takes place within 2 degrees of the Galactic Center which will open a mighty portal from the Core of Creation. The Light of God will flow through this portal and initiate pivotal changes that will affect all Life evolving on this planet.Geoff Chester of the U.S. Naval Observatory inspected a list of eclipses going back 2,000 years for NASA, and he reports, "Since Year 1, I can only find ONE previous instance of an eclipse matching the same calendar date as the Solstice, and that is 1638, Dec. 21."According to the Company of Heaven, it is impossible to overestimate the potential for positive change that Humanity will cocreate by taking advantage of this Cosmic Moment. There are myriad activities of Light taking place all over the world during the next 48 hours. ALL of them are very important.In addition to these events, the Beings of Light in the Realms of Illumined Truth are asking us to empower the CAUSE of Divine Love that has recently been established on Earth. We can assist in this vitally important Divine Plan by participating in the powerful meditation and invocation that was given to Humanity by our Father-Mother God and the Company of Heaven. Through the wondrous Gift of this powerful meditation, every person on the planet is initiated into a Higher Order of Service to Humanity and the Light. This will greatly enhance our ability to cocreate the patterns of perfection for the New Earth in the physical world form." This meditation is available on the following link: http://www.youtube.com/user/PatriciaCotaRobles

One week until Christmas!

Packages mailed, cards written, cookies baked, house decorated, presents under the tree! Let the good times roll! Party up, but stress down for your health... Do things different this year, maybe don't do so much, listen to your own Christmas music, find your own yule log, invent a new family tradition this year, eat your family's or ancestor's ethnic food, get tips or recipes from your grandma, or great grandma. Find a quiet, sacred place for yourself to relax and go there often this season! Spend quality time with loved ones, maybe interview an older relative, make a memory book, or jar full of individual memories to give to a special someone! Don't worry- Christmas is always different, and always great!

Great Adventures in Mercury Retrograde

Things that are a sure deal, really are not so sure anymore, what is moving ahead, is really falling behind, timing is everything and this seems to be wrong timing... thus are the days of mercury going retrograde. This all began on 12-10-10 and will be with us through December. So buckle up for the roller coaster ride! Just chalk it up to adventures in your life, as I am- (sigh)

New Moon in Sagittarius Today

This wise article is from Molly Hall, About.com astrology:

Your Vision
The luminaries (Sun and Moon) are in fiery Sagittarius for this fresh start. The New Moon in Sagittarius at 13 degrees, brings burning impressions to the psyche. These hint at a future destination -- watch closely for one that rings true to your soul. Sagittarius is about fusion without knowing how it happens. Dots get connected, and what you're aware of fuses into a focused intention. And it's about being loyal to your own sense of what's true.
When you trust your instincts, life becomes an adventure, and one where new information expands you, rather than overwhelms you. Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius reminds us that life can always be New, because there's always more to learn and experience.

Trusting Life
Sagittarius is a joyful sign that tends to risk, because of a trust in how life is unfolding. Let the New Moon revive your faith! One path to trust is asking for guidance and waiting for the signs.
At Conscious Media Network this month, there's a timely discussion about calling on angels and expecting synchronicity. Naturopathic doctor and author Jean Slatter talks of hiring the heavens, for help with specific goals. This puts you in dialogue with helping allies, in a way that's fun, where no need is too small. This takes the parking spot goddess a step further, to the concept of hiring a celestial staff -- personal trainer, style consultant, travel agent and so on.
This got me thinking of how we could ask for a specialist for certain astrological transits, or to draw out the energies of a underutilized gift in our charts. If you're wanting the power of an elemental (fire, earth, air or water), call on an angel that's a master of that energy. This could especially help if you're missing grounding (earth), inspiration (fire), emotional connection (water) or clarity (ideas).
This New Moon in Sagittarius can remind us that our spiritual life doesn't have to be heavy. But if you're in the dark night, call on comforting angels. I felt their arms around me once in my darkest hour, and I know they're closer than we think they are. And with this lunation in the sign of friends, we can be energized by the muses and angelic company now. Let's create our own experiment in divine intervention!

Big Picture
This is a magic moment of seeing into the structure of everything in your life. Mercury the messenger is in weighty Capricorn, and at the New Moon is aligned with all-knowing Pluto. Make the most of this revelatory moment, by quieting the chatter.
Spend time with people who can handle the truth. This is key, since the frenetic energies afoot now give us a zillion ways to be distracted, or stay in fear. The sextile from Venus Scorpio to this Mercury-Pluto conjunction guides us instinctively to those we can be real with.

Prepare for Launch
In some ways, this month's energies lighten our load for lift off in January (4th) for the third Jupiter-Uranus conjunction. We're asked to shake off what's become limiting, so we can soar and get excited about the future. Uranus goes direct later on the day of the New Moon. This can accelerate the currents of growth, in the area you choose to aim your focus toward.
It's one of waking up and coming together with those that 'vibe' on your same frequency. Your own consciousness is your treasure, and it leads you to like minds and hearts. It's harder to "hang" with those that are out of synch.
The New Moon can inspire us to step through a door, and seek out those that resonate. That word is overused, but can be like music, and sound. Is it a harmony -- does it make a resounding vibration? Or is it somehow off-key, and harsh to the spirit?

Discernment Leads to Stability
Saturn Libra is sextile both luminaries, to further activate the desire to live with integrity, and in line with our ideals. This helps in being discerning with what we read, hear, see. Saturn is the planet of dedication, commitment. And this New Moon is a stunner for consecrating yourself -- making sacred -- your commitment to your own highest truth.
It's not the easiest path in this time of chaos, but Saturn's discipline is there to draw from. Did we not ask to be part of this incredible moment in time? Perhaps this New Moon can re-invigorate the idea that it's an adventure. And Saturn's presence at the New Moon, adds to its potency as one for deeply internal, but very animated soul journeying.

First Snow

It is here! It has arrived! The first snow of the season! Our Colorado snow is dry, blowing, cold snow- not the delicate flowers and patterns of snowflakes of which we made cutouts in school. This blowing snowing weather makes you want to stay in bed, not get up and drive on the icy roads to go anywhere. Turn up the heat and get a cup of tea! Old Man Winter comes calling at the door again.

Happy Thanksgiving

America gives thanks today for all our blessings, bounty and freedoms! Lets Celebrate! We are The Americans- the first people ever to have a national holiday to give thanks!

According to History.com:

George Washington was the first president to declare Thanksgiving as an American Holiday! During the American Revolution, the Continental Congress designated one or more days of thanksgiving a year, and in 1789 George Washington issued the first Thanksgiving proclamation by the national government of the United States; in it, he called upon Americans to express their gratitude for the happy conclusion to the country’s war of independence and the successful ratification of the U.S. Constitution. His successors John Adams and James Madison also designated days of thanks during their presidencies.

In November 1621, after the Pilgrims’ first corn harvest proved successful, Governor William Bradford organized a celebratory feast and invited a group of the fledgling colony’s Native American allies, including the Wampanoag chief Massasoit. Now remembered as American’s “first Thanksgiving”—although the Pilgrims themselves may not have used the term at the time—the festival lasted for three days. While no record exists of the historic banquet’s exact menu, the Pilgrim chronicler Edward Winslow wrote in his journal that Governor Bradford sent four men on a “fowling” mission in preparation for the event, and that the Wampanoag guests arrived bearing five deer.

Elder William Brewster, also mentioned at History.com and in the history books, was my ancestor who came over on The Mayflower. (born 1567, England—died April 1644, Plymouth, Mass.) leader of the Plymouth Colony in New England He accompanied the first group of Pilgrims on the Mayflower in 1620. William Brewster, the only university-trained member of the Plymouth community, was the real leader of the church. As its senior elder he dominated the formulation of its doctrines, worship, and practices. He was not a magistrate, but by virtue of his close association with the governor, William Bradford, he played a major role in civil as well as religious affairs. Needless to say, Thanksgiving has always held a special place in my heart and the heart of my family! In everything, give thanks!

Direct Day

This is what I call Direct Day! Double Direct Day, even! Jupiter and Venus both go direct today- they have both been retrograde... did you notice yourself reviewing things from the past, reflecting and daydreaming? Thats the retrograde process. Now Jupiter, going direct increases our Luck, pushing forward all things lucky and fortunate, while Venus, also going direct on the same day, increases our Love and abundance!

11-11, 11:11, V Day!

This day on 11-11, we commemorate all those soldiers, warriors, military leaders for all their bravery and courage in action over these many years of war as well as peace. I SALUTE YOU!
This includes my Dad, Grandpa's, Brothers, Greatgrandpa's and Ancestors. Revolutionaries, Americans All! To the core! Our Country would not be FREE if it were not for THESE!
Also look forward to 11-11-11 next year- it will be powerful!

New Moon, Fall Back in Time

Our New Moon is on the edge of time- just in time to fall back in time. Another November Fall Back to Standard Time. We now have only 4 months in normal, regular, standard time. What do you think this does to us, always springing forward, falling back, traveling across time zones- ahead of time or behind the time...

I believe all this movement of time makes us a slave to time. Always working longer hours (overtime), having daylight longer, so we can get more done, nights are shorter and filled with activity. No wonder sleeping is getting harder to do! Lack of sleep is a very big problem for many, as well as aging faster and faster- are you in a hurry???

Happy Halloween!

All Hallows Eve is upon us yet again! The revelers are collecting bags of sweets on their travels of trick or treats! Remember All Saints Day tomorrow, then All Souls Day, when this veil between the dimensions is thinned, and our loved ones who passed on can be communed with this week!

"Seeding a new relationship paradigm...
The constant process of life cycles—birth, growth, seed, death, birth—provide us earth-beings carrying the cloak of form an opportunity to engage in creating the next version, a re-vision, of the ways in which we relate to each other and ourselves.
The Moon, Sun, Mercury and Saturn all in Libra at this New Moon portal is bringing a strong focus to balance in our relationships on all levels—with self, personal, at work, national, global. We simply need to be willing to release old notions of how things “should” be or have been, and open ourselves to and plant the seeds for new ways of healthy interactions.
The autumn cycle in the northern hemisphere is the optimal time for scattering seeds-of-intention for a new relationship paradigm, and the spring cycle in the southern hemisphere for sowing these seeds. Will you choose to scatter and sow seeds for this new paradigm? Will you choose to experience a life that is ecstatically connected to Source, a connection that brings balance in the face of fear or stress?
Libran prana energy at this portal is on our side for successfully implementing and attaining balance and harmony." 13newmoons.com

New Moon, New Reality

Libra is the sign of this new moon- balance and harmony, ready to take off between two Aries Full Moons. Old reality falls away, New Reality is now active!

Full Moon, Harvest Moon, Autumn Equinox, International Day of Peace, Jupiter and Uranus Conjunct the Sun!

What an awesome day! So many Cosmic Attractions today! Where do I start? This Full Moon is The Harvest Moon, and so bright! It is keeping many of us from sleeping! It is also in Aries, so many brand new and brilliant ideas are now coming in! The next New Moon is also in Aries, so we will see the next new thing manifesting at that time. The Harvest Moon is what the full moon is called when it is close to the Autumn Equinox- it is also close to the earth, so it appears very large. The Equinox is the rare day that our earth stands straight up on the axis- you can literally stand an egg up most of the day- night and day are perfectly balanced, and so must we be, as well. So this is the special day of peace. We can meditate and be in balance and harmony with the entire Earth, Moon, Sun, Jupiter and Uranus, with Venus as the Evening Star bringing us all blessings of peace, prosperity and abundance! Happy Peace Day.
