will just last 24 hours

Hmmm, what to say about today?  If you have an astrology

Calendar and are looking at it you may be saying  (WHAT?)

So lets take the day apart into the energy which would work best.

2:52am the moon in Gemini makes a square with Uranus in

Pisces. Ideas and confusion in order to recreate new thoughts

And at this time of the morning wild dreams.

4:51am the moon trines (an aspect of ease) Neptune and

Great visions and intuition come to us all.   6:56am some

Of us have to get up and are not happy with this as the

Moon in Gemini squares Venus (what we want to do)

At 9:03am the moon squares Mercury.  NO CONTRACTS,

No arguments and DO NOT ASK For a raise today, you may

Get one but not the kind you want.  ENERGY is high and

People are really going to be into control today.  OR the attempt

At control at least.

2:52pm the moon goes v/c and times out making this the icing

On a rather interesting Monday.  The aspect made is the moon

Opposing Pluto.  So the push today is for fate to help give you

A boost in the direction it thinks you need to go.  Walk softly

And keep your eyes down is a good suggestion for this Monday.

At 5:18pm the moon moves into Feeling and emotionally

Sensitive Cancer and feelings are very strong.   At 10;58pm

A good aspect finally today between the moon (emotions)

And the sun (THE LIGHT AND showing us where we are)

Maybe showing you that today you stepped upon a new path

In some way?  Even if this was a mental shift, today was intended

To shift us all in a new direction.

Go to bed tonight knowing tomorrow will be a much easier

Day:   Often people wonder what they should be doing

For life path.  This saying to me often explains a great deal.

YOU ARE ON the path, just not where you think you should

Be.  VERY few people are totally off the path, but very

FEW are where they want to be.

“Then I saw what the calling was: it was the road

 I traveled…

 I came into my clear being; uncalled, alive and

 sure.”– Muriel Rukeyser

-           Color today green for prosperity and healing and to calm you down

-           Oil of Yarrow, for anti inflammatory and is one of the best

            oils to use on a wound or scar to diminish it.

-           Sapphire for truth and clarity of vision (Larimar is

            Great for this also and much cheaper or turquoise

-           Kiss, balance is the key, not too much of any one thing

I think I’ve discovered the secret of life -

you just hang around until you get used to it. 

~Charles Schulz

Today the moon in Gemini seems a rather lonely energy as it

Urges us to read, study, talk on the telephone and connect with others

To share?  Well, maybe not exactly our feelings but to connect.

While Saturn the planet of accountability says “MUCH TO DO,

You go back to work soon”  “This is not done and that is not done

And GET IT DONE:”  is the message we are many of us hearing.

  This is called an (Square between the moon

And Saturn) and it happens exactly at 8:42am setting the stage

For a day of?

Whatever calls you the strongest rules today.  That trine of earth

Is pulling us to BUILD What is important to us, so maybe noticing

What you REALLY want to do today would tell you much about what

Is really important to you?

-     Color today Pink for love and NOT the love of winning

-     Use Amethyst for purity and to dilute negative energy

-     Oil of release to let go and Oil of Rose for love

-     Kiss….winning battles  today is about NOT battling

AND YES:::WE just had that FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE
on the 16^th and are in a RELEASING TIME …I had a group do an

Visualization of seeing our lives as a sink that had been filling up..

And up…and up and in some of our lives was overflowing and on

The 16^th the sink began to drain and … 

so today how about tossing ideas, fears, blocks, frustrations,

or other  Things into the sink.  We all want to get rid of things which no

 longer are worth while in our lives don’t we?  Drop them in and

watch them go down the drain forever.

Saturday August 23, 2008

At 2:20am the moon (our emotional responses) moves v/c

Or times out until 2:48pm.  We had some interesting dream

Energy at 12:22am with Uranus (Brilliance and surprises)

And at 12:30am  Mercury , ideas;

And at 2:20am the moon makes a SQUARE WITH
NEPTUNE:  this is an aspect designed to confuse the

Senses so that we look at things in a different way.

So, until 8pm tonight.  I would ask that you please try not

To sign contracts, make major purchases or do anything which

You had not WELL THOUGHT Out BEFORE THIS DAY:

The moon will move into Gemini at 2:48pm but some

Rather challenging aspects until 7:52pm tonight create

Some interesting energy today.

I love these days to scramble perceptions and create confusion

So we are willing to be open to change, but not for contracts

For sure.  At 8:49am Venus makes an opposition to URANUS

And this is often a MAGICAL ENERGY TO MEET THAT
CERTAIN person….  Get out and be open to MIRACLES
today and see what happens, but drive carefully and listen to

Your own inner common sense.  BUT maybe not your blocks

Today. (Venus opposing Uranus)

At 4:49pm ego comes up against what must be done, so smile,

And roll up your sleeves and give the other person a bit of help.

(Moon squaring the sun)

7:52pm the moon in social and communicative Gemini makes

A TRINE OR aspect of ease with Mars the planet of passion

And action.  ANOTHER GREAT ENERGY TO open you up

To look and …..  A SMILE would be great today for

Everyone you meet.  Simple, cheap and an easy way

To make the world a better place isn’t it

-     Kiss Allow yourself to smile at your past

-     Color today white for purity of ideas and life

-     Oil of release to let go of what no longer should be in your life

-     I would suggest pearls, abalone, or some watery stones if you

want to bring in more feelings and emotions.  Jet, onyx, and amber

if you wish to filter out emotions and center and ground yourself

Men or women  who never get carried away should be.
  - Malcolm Forbes

LOTS of good things going on today

Today the moon in Taurus would like life settled

And it could be for some of you.  Trines are aspects of

Ease and things surely go more smoothly today than on many

Days this month.

The news of the day is the GRAND EARTH TRINE WHICH IS

Really working hard to get all of us to create what we want

In life.  Work should be powerful today as we have a big

Shift From the SUN As it moves into VIRGO at 11:02am

Today.

We have Saturn the planet of obligations in Virgo also so

This next 30 days as the sun journeys through this

Mutable earth sign many of us will find ourselves really

Needing to get things DONE and get our acts together.

Remember Virgo would like perfection and there is NO SUCH

Thing.  So, lets cut others some slack, who knows what road

They are walking now;  unknown to you and me.   And for some

Of us, maybe we can give a hand to our fellow travelers a bit

More than normal this month.

ONLY IF IT FEELS GOOD: My belief is that SERVICE feels good

When it becomes Sacrifice it is normally our own inner critic that

Thinks we must do it , not a true calling.  DO what feels good and

YOU FEED yourself and the other person. 

At 11:13pm Mercury the planet of communication wearing the

Sign of Libra makes an opposition to Uranus so do not ask

Questions about relationships tonight that you are not ready to

Hear the answer to.   The energy today is rather slower than

Normal and a strong earthy urge could have many wanting to

Cuddle up tonight with someone they love and just take it

Easy.

So our kiss (keep it simple sweetie) for today is Breathe

Deeply and enjoy life…Enjoy people, and try to avoid things

Or people today who rattle you.   Lets let this be a SELF LOVE
Day, what do you think?

The moon today wants us to do concrete actions today which

Are pleasurable for us

-           Color today purple for spirituality, and power of knowing

            you truly deserve that which you desire

-           Oil of cinnamon to cheer and lift spirits

-           Use amethyst to clear energy and keep you on track

-           Kiss for today, TRUST and then do the work

************************************************************************

“The Mystery of life is not a problem to be solved but

a reality to be experienced.”

             FOCUS TO manifest today

Today the moon in Wild and wonderful Aries times out

Or moves v/c at 9:53am after making a great aspect with the

Sun. So this v/c should be a good one.  Expect lots of

Activity today and that LEO and fire action is very strong.

Look at what you wish to manifest today. Manifesting is not

A magical energy.  I consists of thinking of what you want and

Then thinking of how you are going to get it and then DOING

The action you need to make it happen.

Want more time off?  How do you manage that? Often I manifest

Illness so that I do not work as hard.  SO, I would suggest that

You be more creative than I am and perhaps say “I deserve

This or that, and then go for it”  Today has the energy which

Will assist you in making this happen.

At 11:38am the moon moves into TAURUS creating

A stronger earth (which is manifesting) energy.  Get outside

And enjoy nature and think of your ideas and your wishes

As The magnet which is going to attract something or

Someone to you today.  So, think carefully and then concentrate

And Make it happen.

-     Use citrine, Orange Aventurine or Carnelian for bringing

       passion into your life

-     Oil of Release to let go of all that blocks your true joy

-     Kiss for today, smile, grin and get going with that

      Wish list for what you need for your life to be happier

      And to help the world with the same

PS  MAKE INTENTIONS BEFORE bed tonight

To know answers to questions.  Dreams carry strong

Connections tonight to your unconscious mind and

We all know that is where our guides and angels

Live, right?

****************************************************

‘Our purpose in life is find our gift, perfect it and

give it back to others.’   And maybe for some of  us our

gift is just to make folks feel better, or make them smile,

we are not all here to find the cure for cancer but we are

all here to make the planet better or worse, by our actions

and our thoughts

************************************************

Not one of us knows what  effect his life produces,

and what he gives to others; that is  hidden from us

and must remain so, though we are often allowed to  see

some little fraction of it, so that we may not lose courage.  

The way in which power works is a mystery.

–Albert Schweitzer  (01/14/1875-1965)  

Another wild and wooly day with the moon in Aries

Urging us to joy and fun is here.  Along with this
Jupiter, the planet of Faith, and supersizing life for

Us makes a Rough aspect at 6:15am with that moon.

Jupiter in Capricorn is not into fun today.

Fire wants to what?  BURN and go and flow free

And Jupiter going backwards in Capricorn today

Would like to curtail some of you. So, again some of

Those early am slow downs followed by

Some wonderful energy with Intuition and visions

At 11:00 pm tonight. 

YEP:  Sorry, that rough aspect

Goes ALL day long even through rush hour.  I would

Think this might be a nice mental health day if they

Are allowed at your work. 

Today may not be your favorite Wednesday.

I can guarantee you rushing will not work well

even though the MOON in Aries might tell you so.

Trust your astrologer ;  Slow down, and do it right

 the first time So you do not have to do it over again.

There is nothing to fear and nothing horrible today,

Just the urge to hurry more than is good for us

-     Color today Peach for your joy

-     Use  JET or agate to ground you and center you

-     Sage is a good scent for today or Bergamot

      Or Thieves, any of the clearing oils would be great

-    Kiss for today, S L O W         S     L    O    W

“Ah! There is nothing like staying

at home, for real comfort.”– Jane Austen 

and if you cannot stay home today, how about taking

a few minutes to do deep breathing energy exercises?
Breathe in peace and tranquility and sense the joy

flowing into you and through you.

“Acquire inner peace and a multitude will find their salvation near you.”– Catherine de Hueck Doherty, writer

Finally it is here, a planet moves into the sign of LIBRA

Which is about balance, relationships and we begin to

Get a bit more social and less socialization.  I love all this

Outer planet, transpersonal sign stuff, but sometimes a girl

(or a guy)

Just needs to get his or her hair and nails done and forget

all the Serious stuff.

At 3:03am the planet MARS MOVES into the air

Relationship sign of Libra and war should seem further away

And solutions easier to come by.

4:41am the moon moves v/c or times out until it

Enters Aries at 7:10am. So, if you are on the road

From 4:41am to 7:10am  SLOW down and use good

Common horse sense.  RUSH, rush, rush is the

Theme of today and people are not likely to be as concerned

About the small stuff (for a change, thank you heaven)

But small stuff is a bit important as we drive on

the freeway isn’t it?

7:22am the moon in Aries makes an Opposition

To Mars in Libra.  So, the urge to be nice and maybe

Not so nice is happening at the same time.  This could

Be a great balance as we take up for ourselves

(MOON IN AIRES)  in a  NICE Way (Mars in Libra)

-   Color today whatever you want, GREEN for me.

    As a tree service is here cutting bushes I hope.

-  The stone Larimar which is blue and seems to

    connect earth and spirit is an excellent choice

BUT use whatever you want today please…

I shall Sage and smudge today and clear energy as

Well as perhaps put out the peppermint to ward off

The spiders which will of course want to move out of

The yard in with me today. (CANCEL that thought)

MY Favorite recipe:  AND MY TAKE ON

WHAT LIFE CAN BE like if we are willing:

From Bonnie Chance, visit her website at

http://www.bonniechance.com

Stone Soup

According to the story, some travelers come to a

village, carrying nothing more than an empty pot.

 Upon their arrival, the villagers are unwilling to

share any of their food stores with the hungry travelers.

The travelers fill the pot with water, drop a large

 stone in it, and place it over a fire in the village

square. One of the villagers becomes curious and

asks what they are doing.

The travelers answer that they are making

“stone soup”, which tastes wonderful, although

 it still needs a little bit of garnish to improve the

 flavor, which they are missing.

The villager doesn’t mind parting with just a

little bit to help them out, so it gets added to the

 soup. Another villager walks by, inquiring about

 the pot, and the travelers again mention their stone

soup which hasn’t reached its full potential yet.

 The villager hands them a little bit of seasoning

to help them out. More and more villagers walk by,

each adding another ingredient. Finally, a delicious

and nourishing pot of soup is enjoyed by all.

In Astrology we have things called ASPECTS which are
relationships between Planets.  OR how planets get along with
each other.  Remember Aunt Harriette who
Disliked Aunt Juliet (or whatever)  Well those hard aspects are what
Made family life interesting.

Today the key to success in this interesting day
is finding BALANCE and the middle ground.

With The moon still in Pisces making some Oppositions (like
Differences in opinions) with Mercury, (how we think)  Venus
(what we like) and finishing the day with URANUS the planet of
Surprises.  This could be a wonderful day if you are into the
Lemonaide mode and not the “I Must have it MY way mode”

Leave early for work, drive slowly and recognize that
Jupiter is SUPERSIZING our day.  Whatever Is going on today
Will seem like MORE than it is, so wait until tomorrow and see
If it is worth going to war over.
-     BELIEVE in order to create growth
-     Color today purple for royalty & for connection to
      You treating others and yourself royally today
-     Oil or incense of Patchouli to reestablish equilibrium
      while quieting emotions and energizing the mind
-     Amber for all of the above OR agate
-     Kiss think positive

Saturday  at 2:16pm PDT  with the MOON AT 24 degrees 21 minutes

Of Aquarius and the sun at 24 Degrees 21 minutes of Leo

Even if there were not an eclipse today is busy, busy, busy.

At 11:24am the moon and intuition (Neptune)

Touch down for a magical mix.  At 2:16pm the sun (THE LIGHT)

And the moon (our emotions and the past) Make an opposition

To each other (AKA  FULL MOON)  Except this one is a LUNAR
ECLIPSE and now we are going to finally (IF We are willing?)

To be able to open the wrapped package and see what is inside.

Remember eclipses or anything in life can do no more than Show us

WHAT is there.  So, if you do not like what you see right now, then

HOW about changing it.

To me the saddest words I have ever uttered are WHY:

WHY:  WHY:   I am not sure that I have ever gotten a

Satisfactory answer to this question but it is for sure one of

My favorite statements.

So..instead of asking WHY ..  LETS all of us on this planet

Ask HOW?  HOW can we change what we do not like, how can

We make our lives better?  AND you know in making your

Life better we will be making the world better, right?

So, the question of the day is …What can I do about it once

I know what I do not like.

At 5:16pm a great aspect with Venus the planet of

Love brings us some wonderful connections.  At 10:14pm more good

Stuff with Pluto the planet of transformation.  AND at 11:12pm the

Planet MARS which is about action and now wearing the sign

Of Virgo challenges  us to get past that pesky (WHY)

And just go ahead and DO IT:

For the next 2 weeks we will have a ever stronger releasing

Energy. IT is finally time on this planet to get rid of our

JUNK:  OUR OLD STORIES:  our old fears, and begin to

GROW YOUNG.  When you were young you were full of

Optimism, hope, and joy.  Well, so now we know the world

Is not the place we would like.

WE still have sunrises, sunsets, and so much. LETS look

More at what we have and what we can change and NO MORE
PREACHING for today from me.

This LUNAR ECLIPSE at 24 Degrees of

Aquarius asks that we do this NOT JUST FOR OURSELVES
but for everyone around us who has to watch and listen to

Us and be with us.  AND this is how the world changes.

-     Color today YELLOW FOR JOY

-     Use amber to remember your wise and ancient soul and

       connect to earth in order to manifest the changes you want

-     Oil of RC to clear the head, the sinus and lots of other

       good stuff…Blood pressure and so much more.

-      Kiss for today, it is never too late to give yourself a

      GREAT Future…How about starting RIGHT NOW? 

      HOW do we do that?  We do it by forgiving and then

      Looking at who we are and giving thanks for the lessons

      Which have gotten us to here.  And maybe be willing

To roll up our sleeves and go to work to make things better.

  “The blessings for which we hunger are not to be
found in other places or people. These gifts can
only be given to you by yourself.

They are at home in the hearth of your
soul.”– John O’Donohue
