Today the moon in Aquarius plays nicely with Healing (Chiron)
Mercury (Communication which is now moving DIRECT)

Use today’s energy to reconnect to those who you have not
Talked with in a while.  Enjoy differences with the Moon in
Aquarius and Celebrate originality.

-   Kiss:  See what you get if you sit quietly and LISTEN tonight.
-   COLOR today Purple for spirit
-   Use Lapis Lazuli to open the 3rd eye and balance the throat chakra
-   Oil of Clove which is one of the most powerful oils there is to
     create healing and take away nasty bugs, and smelling or
     eating this will  clear the air and your head at the same time
-   Another Kiss for today, if in doubt RETREAT

Saturday June 21, 2008   Welcome to our first summer weekend

Today the moon moves at 2:33am into Aquarius and this day carries
Some fantastic energy to get out, mix and mingle and enjoy being
UNIQUE and ORIGINAL AND YOURSELF:  Which is what the energy
Of Aquarius is all about. 

The moon joins over this next 2 days with
Neptune moving backwards, (Reconnecting us to source)
North Node (where we will have an eclipse 8/1 In Aquarius
And Chiron the wounded healer also going retrograde in Aquarius.
(IN English, these next few days are GREAT times to reconnect
To your inner wise soul and also do some healing)  But the rules
For this NO RULES time seems to be.

DO it differently and if it has not been working for you before?
WHY are you still doing it that way? 

Today at 2:14am Venus (love and beauty) in safety loving
Cancer sidles up and makes a great aspect with Saturn so many
Of you will be attending to duty today. AND some of you will
Be stepping outside the box to discover wonders.

8:33am Mars the planet of action makes an opposition to
Neptune the planet of illusion and intuition.  NO RISKS TODAY
PLEASE:  Mars in LEO wants us to have fun and passion, as I
Do for us all also.  BUT Saturn is limitations so there is kind of
A build in system today.  SLOW DOWN, listen to the sounds of
Nature and ENJOY.   Save the risks for another day please.
-   The kiss for today is:  we have a pretty intense and
    passionate day Slow down and ENJOY THE PASSION
-   Green for healing, you knew I was going to say that, right?
-   I would use perhaps aventurine for healing and connecting to
     healing love issues
-    Oil of patchouli for the same

Experience is not what happens to you; it is what you do
with what happens to you. - Aldous Huxley

HAPPY  SUMMER  SOLSTICE  June 20, 2008  4:59pm

Today we shift seasons which is what solstices and equinox’s are.

They are cross points in seasons and bring us the ability to reach

New stages of awareness and Much more.

 

Please see the 2008 SUMMER SOLSTICE Article on my website under

2007  2008 articles:  http;//www.carolbarbeau.com

Friday June 20, 2008  Happy Solstice  (the longest day of the year)

and we begin the energy of SUMMER 2008 today at 4:59pm:

 

6;22am we begin our new season or finish off the old one with

The moon in Capricorn touching Jupiter in Capricorn which is

Retrograde.  Reconnection to our faith and belief is my take on this

Wonderful aspect today.  So, the message to begin the day is

HAVE YOU GIVEN UP?  Do you feel Hopeless?  IF SO, reconnect

To this new season of GROWTH and begin to plant your joy and

Hope and renew the sense of joy you used to have.  Do this by:

“Stepping  forward, taking action in the direction …

not where you are currently, but moving forward and

saying, ‘Okay, if this is who I’m becoming, then

what action would I take right now if I were already

there?’”– Motivational speaker

 

 (and begin to BELIEVE

you are there, and will be there SOON if you cannot

handle the RIGHT Now aspect of this.

 

12:02pm a wonderful aspect with Uranus the energy of

Change sets the stage for this v/c or the moon timing

out.  This v/c Is filled with the promise of creating

from what we feel and sense And WISH FOR: 

 

12:40pm the sun (the light) in Gemini makes an final

Opposition with PLUTO in Sagittarius in your LIFETIME:

Transformation comes to us all on this LONGEST
DAY OF THE YEAR, the Summer solstice which

Happens when the Sun moves into the sign of Cancer

At 4:59pm today.

 

SO make those wishes today and make this

A WISH Day supreme for yourself.  I wish you

happy SOLSTICE, As we all welcome Summer which

is the time of growth for us all and open your

life to laughter, the sun, joy, and all good

things so that you can help those things to flower

not only in your life but in the world. 

Namaste    Carol Barbeau

-     Kiss for today create sacred space to make

      intents in some way

-     Color today what suits your sense of what you

      wish to achieve.  YELLOR and green for me.  Healing

      and joy

-     I shall wear amber today to connect to GIA and

      my OLD SOUL, but citrine, ruby, sapphire all would

      be wonderful

-     OIL of 3 wise men for me and SAGE, this would be

      a wonderful day to SMUDGE

leads to happiness.   – Alan Cohen

 

Thursday June 19, 2008 A great day to get things done

Today the moon in Capricorn encourages us to really work
Hard and maybe get more done than we would have believed.
Many of us will still be rocking and rolling from yesterdays
TMI (too much information) full moon and today would be
Best used to catch up, complete tasks and enjoy the idea
That FINALLY MERCURY the planet of communication
Goes direct and will get OUT of Gemini the TMI stage of its
Cycle on July 10th.  WE can almost smell the woodsy smell
Of being out of this particular woods.

This energy has been and IS, about thoughts, ideas, old
Patterns, and REAWAKENING to the new ideas, new thoughts
And new patterns.  Which means 2 times the amount of all
Of the above.  SO, lets use this FULL moon from yesterday
And LET GO of ½ of our C..  woops should not use that word
GET RID OF OUR “STUFF” which no longer serves us.

7:31am MERCURY direct and we are on the way to the
SUMMER SOLSTICE Tomorrow.  YEP..this is a HUGE
Week isn’t it?

-   Color today orange for creativity and passion
-   Carnelian, or gold colored stones or metal for the same
-   Oil of Frankincense or myrrh for spiritual connection
    OR Sage to clear the air
-   Kiss for today, expect GOOD THINGS and they will come to
    You when you are ready to do the required work for them.
WORK CAN Be fun when it is Life changing.
“Although it may crown you Queen for a Day, the world cannot
confer the recognition that will make you feel fulfilled. Only you can.
Congratulate yourself upon the completion of a personal accomplishment.”
– Sarah Ban Breathnach

“My future depends mostly upon myself.”– Paul Robeson

DID you know the FULL MOON to the next NEW MOON IS
a time when we are more easily to release the past, clean out
those old things in our life and LET GO gently and easily
of what no longer works for us?

FULL MOON Wednesday June 18, 2008   10:30am PDT

 

WOW:  here we are again with the theme of GEMINI (information)

And Sagittarius (our own personal truth and freedom)  Isn’t this

What the last 3 weeks have been about?  I think the sky says,

‘ lets give them down there another shot of tmi (too much

Information)  So that they get quiet Finally and begin to Look

Inwards for answers.

 

We begin around Midnight with the wonderfully powerful planet

Of Change (URANUS) making a rough aspect with the moon in
Sagittarius.  Like yesterday did not ask us enough questions?

 

This aspect at Midnight tunes you into the Great beyond so expect

Some wild and wooly dreams. (YEP, more of them)  at 1:49am

Venus which represents what we love and HOW we love moves

Into Warm and sensitive Cancer.  Venus now goes out of the more

Social energy into a rather inner type of connection, so be nice

To folks they will be more Sensitive than normal.

 

At 3:02am a WONDEROUS

Aspect between Neptune (intuition and that moon ) takes us

Deeper into inner connections.

 

10:30am a full moon with the moon saying (I GOT TO BE FREE

And do what is in alignment with my truth)  And the sun In Gemini

Asks us “What version of your truth would you like to hear?  OR is

Your truth, your truth?  OR what someone told you long ago and

Far away?  

 

On full moons I always make a list…  I work on my lunar

(emotional themes)  This is the time of the month that the Moon

(our past and inner feelings) is the strongest.  This time forces us

To expand our awareness and see things More clearly. YEAH
FOR US:  I am ready.. how about you?

 

2:37pm the MOON (emotions) touches Pluto (Transformations)

I would be working with positive thought and allow this

Transformation to be…well my wish will be.  “Please allow

Me to see what needs to be released over these next 2 weeks

GENTLY AND EASILY please) 

 

Since this MOON and PLUTO THINGEY is also the herald

For a v/c or the moon timing out.  Try and not sign anything

Or do any major decisions until 2:57pm when the moon enters Capricorn .

AND really  9:58pm tonight carries some great energy. PLUS

Mercury moves direct tomorrow 7:31am. 

 

SO?  Can you Wait until A REALLY Great day for new beginnings to make

those decisions?   Beginning the 21st, and 22nd and then 23rd

has some really WILD DREAM it and make it happen energy.

 

4:21pm A Venus aspect says some of us will want to HUNKER

In and have a bit of quiet time. 

 

-     Color today white for purity

-     Use jet to ground you or else a colored stone to cheer

      you.  Red for passion, yellow for joy, purple for spiritual

      OR BETTER YET?  how about what

       MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD

-     Kiss for today, hang tight and enjoy the ride I bet most

      of us are NOT driving the bus today

-     Oil of release to let go of expectations? OR joy to be

      ok with where we are right now

 

“When we are unable to find tranquility within ourselves,

it is useless to seek it elsewhere”– La Rochefoucauld, French writer

Tuesday June 17, 2008

Today the Moon in Sagittarius makes an opposition with
Mercury retrograde meaning that we need to really double
Check details.  Making sure we have all the information
Seems much of the theme on this day before the full moon.

4:54am JUPITER moon Opposition
10:57pm a trine with the planet mars makes the ending
Of this day much easier than the beginning.

11:44pm the Planet Venus in the sign of Gemini makes
An opposition to Pluto.  This perhaps will be a defining
Evening and nighttime for some who are struggling with
Difficult choices.  The option is here tonight to make
Your decision and move forward.  Yep, BEFORE Mercury
Goes direct many of you will not be able to hang back
After tomorrow FULL MOON:

Decisions made tonight should be good ones is our
Kiss for today.  WAIT until tonight to make the decision please
-  Color today purple for spirituality
-  Amethyst to clear the air or if you feel you need
grounding agates
-  Oil of cinnamon to brighten your day, cheer you up
-  Kiss for today REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS,
HAPPENS FOR A  REASON and in time you will better understand.
Meanwhile  trust that higher power is bringing you what you need.
Maybe not exactly what you want?  But what you need today.

Monday June 16, 2008   Happy Monday

Today at 2:19am the moon enters Optimistic Sagittarius
And this day is ruled by Jupiter which is faith and trust.
9:06am a square from the moon in Sagittarius to Saturn in
Virgo makes us look at life not only with rosy glasses
And optimism but brings a pragmatic energy giving us
Much needed information

 

IF you do not like what you are hearing today, look at what
You can do to change it on this hard working full of faith
And optimism day.
-  Color today Gray for that middle ground we need to do today
-  Oil of joy or peace and calm to center us
-  For sure some stone which feels grounding, and centering
   JET OR agate, or obsidian or even black tourmaline
-  Kiss for today…keep the energy, that feeling is the knowing
   that something WONDERFUL is coming and the word for today
   might be   A N T I C I P A T I O N   …  so make an
   INTENT for what you want to come to you.  And use Saturn
   The planet of duty, obligation and accountability in the
   Detailed sign of Virgo  To ask that you know all that you
    need to know so that you
   Can work from the information at hand..

 

Life is a compromise of what your ego wants to do,
what experience tells you to do, and what your nerves
let you do.  ~Bruce Crampton

Sunday June 15, 2008  HAPPY FATHERS DAY

 

The moon in Scorpio brings up feelings and an aspect with

Jupiter seems to increase these same feelings ..GOOD or bad,

Whatever idea and feeling you feed with thoughts today it shall

Grow and prosper.  THINK POSITIVE, forgive the past and

At 7;13am when we have a rough mars aspect.  GET OUT,

Take a walk, exercise and GET THE body going and turn off

The mind if possible.

 

 

11:22am a great aspect with change and open hearted energy is

Offset at 2:30pm by a Neptune square.  Neptune is one of my

Favorite planets. IT asks us to BELIEVE …and not believe..

Believe what you sense, feel and intuit, Not so much what your

Eyes or society tells you but what you KNOW in the core of yourself.

Neptune makes a ROUGH aspect with the moon.

Neptune in Aquarius says, break old patterns and habits and

Ways of thinking and the moon in Scorpio says look at how you

Feel.  I say…  distance yourself from the negative today and

As I told someone last week.

 

No matter what you are feeling inside yourself it does take the

Same muscles to smile as to frown but it surely does create a very

Different effect to others around us.  THIS IS NOT THE DAY

To approach old issues with anyone.   

7 planets including Mercury

The energy of communication Retrograde is NOT the time to

Tell someone that they hurt your feelings when you were 7 and you

Have never recovered.  (is there ever a good time for that?) 

 

Today before you address issues first ask yourself do you know the

Solution?   My granny used to say when I complained, “OK, what

Is your solution, what can we do about it?”   AND if I did not know

The answer, she would tell me I did not have a problem until I had

The solution. 

Today look for inner solutions please and see how you feel

About this after mercury goes direct on the 19^th to sit down and talk

With the other person about the problem (IF POSSIBLE, there

Are always exceptions and some things need to be dealt with
I know) 

-  Color today white for purity of vision

-  Pearls for inner connection and Psychic ability

-  OIL OF release of course, or sage …let go of the past

-  Kiss for today, get ready for big changes and let go of

   what does not make you feel good about yourself

 

“Without freedom from the past, there is no freedom at all,

because the mind is never new, fresh, innocent.” —

Krishnamurti, spiritual teacher

Saturday June 14, 2008
The moon in Scorpio pulls us deeper into inner connection
And the answers truly are there is you will allow yourself to
Hear them.   A trine between Neptune (intuition) and the
Sun in Gemini brings more information than we thought possible
And all we have to do is be willing to receive it.

Be open to miracles today and get ready to work to create them
Tomorrow.
-     Color today Orange for creativity
-     Use oil of Rose or jasmine or Lavender to
      Soothe the soul
-     Purple flourite to ground into your own
       Sacred center
-     Kiss for today is, All the answers you need
       Are within you if you will just sit quietly, quiet
       The mind and listen.  Nothing brilliant and
       New ever made sense in the beginning.

The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to
go beyond them into the impossible.
  - Arthur C. Clarke

Friday June 13, 2008  PLUTO BACKS INTO SAGITTARIUS
PLEASE go to my website and read the STEVE Nelson article
On Friday the 13th..

Today the moon in Libra shifts gears and moves v/c or times
Out at 2:16am and enters Scorpio at 1:53pm.  SO many of you
Will be using the LAST ASPECT the moon made as it moved
v/c last night which was…the MOON TRINE PLUTO:  which
is transformational (PLUTO)  Relationships (LIBRA)

The energy today is wonderful for options, ideas, connections.
At 1:53 pm the moon moves to more intense Scorpio and
The questions seem to bring a deeper inner connection.

And as Pluto backs again into Sagittarius for the last time in
Our lifetimes at 8:46pm tonight we again retreat into the fire
and passions which Have been aroused within us for the last 13 years. 
Until November 26th when it again Enters the sign of Capricorn.

Pluto the planet of personal and world transformation entered
Sagittarius January 17, 1995 and our quest for personal truth,
Justice and freedom began in earnest for the planet.  These last
13 years have been a time of AWAKENING to events happening
Upon the planet and The quest for the “TRUTH” at the least
OUR personal truth has become more and more important. 

On January 25th Pluto entered the sign of Capricorn which is
About excellence, achievement and THE sign most related
To working for the GOOD OF THE ALL: 
This Earth sign energy means That we all need to roll up
our sleeves and go to work.

Some of us have been kicking and Hollering about this so
This Planet decided for those who are not convinced that
There is such a thing as Global warming, Poisons in our
Food, and other even less appealing things that it would take
Us backwards Into Sagittarius truth seeking energy again until
November 26th when it will again Re enter Capricorn ..

This time will be about really connecting to the Truth and
Reality of what needs to be done upon the planet, with each
Other but most of all,
this time is a call to Action and a time
To begin to either be an instrument of change or get out of
The way of those who are making the changes.

There is an American Indian saying about when the last
Flower blooms and the last fruit or vegetable is picked that
Then we will learn that we cannot eat money.   I think that
This wake up time for us all is here.   NOPE: I am not
A politically active person. I am an astrologer and reading
What is going on in the sky and reading the news and
Looking at the Reality of life this shifting of energy makes
Perfect sense to me.  Fire is action and Earth is the EARTH

Personally for you;  if you use the next few months to examine
Your life personally you will automatically begin to change what
Needs to be changed.   Are you living in alignment with your
Own HIGHEST GOOD?    We can only begin there to clean
Up our own lives and from there the world.  Today begins
A new theme and when Pluto Moves forward in November
It will remain in the Sign of CAPRICORN until March 23,2023

So the next few years we will be working on what we discover
These next few months as to what Is worth our time and energy.
Realizing that we are all ONE IS Uranus the planet of changes
Job and it will  retrograde on June 26th even deeper pulling us
Into the dream (PISCES) of what could be.
Kiss for today is DREAM YOUR LIFE and it will happen
(maybe not immediately but every step is a movement towards
Your outcome isn’t it)  what are you moving towards?
- Color today Pink for love and
  Purple for spiritual connection
- I will be using sapphire for truth
 And connection today…OR ruby, or Garnet
- Oil of  Jasmine which relaxes and
soothes the body while uplifting the spirit
and enhancing self-confidence.
 
You know how to give,    ARE YOU READY TO
LEARN HOW TO RECEIVE? Be open to gifts
This weekend from unexpected sources and know
You DESERVE IT:
