FULL MOON RELEASING OLD Beliefs

With the moon in Gemini and the SUN IN Sagittarius

December 12, 2008   8:37am PST here in Seattle wa.

Astrologers are people who like to know what is happening And for each full and new moon, and important occasion we Create charts, make predictions and look at the energy and Then see how it turns out.  This is one way we become good At what we do prediction wise, and also a way to look at What may be coming to  a particular area and our clients (ourselves also)

Personally I am a STRONG believer in Free will.    

Astrology Pushes and pulls gently, but you are in charge of your life and YOU truly Can go into the ocean when the tide is going in and still get Your boat out there if you are willing to fight the tides.

This chart seems to carry some energy of fate 12/12  Here in Seattle.  Mars the planet of action sits with the moon In Sagittarius in the 12^th house of karma for this chart.

This is the 5^th and FINAL SUPER MOON of 2008 and a Super moon is when the Moon is at its closest approach to Earth.  And Gravitational pulls are intensified around a  Super moon .  So we are a bit more (PERHAPS) feeling Pushed and pulled energetically.

We are in an aspect called a  GRAND CROSS or Grand Square which just signals to me that we must realign and Make some shifts, change our position to truly see what Is going on is my take on a square.  (Sagittarius is

About beliefs as is Gemini so maybe this is where we need To really begin to make changes with this full moon)

An Astrological mandalla says of 21 Gemini:  Interesting Enough about a labor demonstration and have you watched The news the last week?  This is about the peoples right to Organize and make change and power of the collective

The degree of 21 Sagittarius (where the sun resides for this Full moon is spoken of in Duane Rudhyars book an

Astrological mandalla says that we learn by imitating of Those who we feel have something we would like to

Be like, think like, or whatever……and I always think of this degree as  FAKE IT until you make it. Meaning to smile when you do not want to and to be  Constantly attempting to emulate those who you admire And you will in time be even better than the person or Attitude you are attempting to emulate.

This chart for Seattle is RULED by the planet Saturn in The 9^th house, indicating a strong need for faith and trust

And to get our acts together.

Lots of planets in the first house in Capricorn, indicate A need to ground and center and work towards concrete

Goals.  The first planet in this chart is Mercury (the Mind and ideas)  Further indicating an need to really Work on how we think, to be the best we can be.

So, in short…let go of all ideas of False humility that You cannot do or be something which you choose.  Let Go and ask for assistance from higher power and allow  Yourself to watch those who you wish to be more like and

Know you can be even Better as you shift and change to Become what you are already inside yourself.  

Uranus the energy of change is in the 2^nd house of money And values in this chart with Chiron and Neptune.   Changes And shifts in finances continues into 2009 and …maybe  Changes in our values about how important that designer Label is?  That big car?   Living in 3,000 square feet homes?

AND I TRULY DO KNOW::: For many it is basics of survival, but there are people renting Out space in their homes every day.  Nice places with NEAT People for $500 per month.  You will find new options, new Places, new jobs and if we just can believe and allow the Future to come and try not to piss and moan too much we are

Going to in 10 years see a world and United states that we are More proud of and be people who we would not dare to  Believe right now that we could be.

I wish you peace and joy and that you gently and easily Let go of fear and the OLD ideas in order to have and be

MORE when that energy of 2009 comes rolling in to gift Us with a master spiritual 11 year of master relationships

With everyone in our lives. Namaste and JOY TO YOU  Carol Barbeau

Friday  FULL MOON LETTING GO TIME IS HERE
 12/12/2008 is an numerology wise,  16 or 7 day of Spiritual Connection if we choose to use it that way.

At 2:13am the planet mercury (ideas and contracts) moved Into the Sign of Capricorn.  At 5:10am another aspect with Uranus (change and surprises) helps this to be another day When SPIRIT and (higher powers plan) works better than Our own plans.

At 5:29am Mars and the moon make an opposition setting The stage for us to make some choices of what we get done Today and what we put energy into.

Today we have the moon in Gemini making an aspect of OPPOSING The sun at 8:37am. AKA   FULL MOON  The Sun in Sagittarius is encouraging us to Rush and push forward a bit more (Sag. Is a FIRE sign you know)

And  Gemini is an AIR sign.  So lets all make an intention to fear Less, be more open to hope and optimism and gently and easily after This FULL MOON today (OR when you read this) to immediately LET go of fears, doubts, and all things which really are not doing Us any good.

Lots happening today… 8:37am FULL moon 9:14am an aspect Saying NO matter how much you worry or fret, it is not going to All get done today. LET go and do what you can is my recipe for A much happier day.

10:01am great intuition aspect.   10:41am PLUTO AND MERCURY Join in a GREAT IDEA energy.   6;20pm the sun in Sagittarius Squares Saturn wanting you to get your stuff together.  The sun In Sagittarius would rather you have some fun tonight. (You get To choose you know)    At 11:33pm Pluto opposing the moon makes This one of the MOST POWERFUL Full moons of this last year.

With this moon we are asked to LET GO OF this last year and The last ?????? years….  It is time to enter a new era and this is The last FULL moon energy of 2008.   A new moon on December 27^th at 4;22am (SEE articles of all full and new moons on my] Website , FOR FREE)  …this new moon on the 27^th will bring Us into 2009 and that master spiritual 11 year of Relationships (spiritually enlightening and opening relationships)

So, please use this next 2 weeks to LET go of what was.. In order to have room for what CAN be when we are willing To recognize maybe there is a better plan for us than our own.

-    Color today black to absorb negativity and ground you

-    Jet or obsidian to ground and center you and if you feel you need a bit of uplifting my stone  choice of 2008  has been GOLDEN Citrine which is a protective stone, which never needs cleaning or clearing and it is a merchants or money stone as well as cheerfully upper energetically

-    Oil of Jasmine or Rose for love and happy feelings Oil of lemon if you need cheering

-    Kiss for today is BELIEVE the future can be better Than the past and be willing to let go of all which does

     Not bring you joy and encouragement

One of the best ways to get a good dose of life  force moving through you again is to do something.  Anything. It really helps to get out there and  re-engage with life. Even though it may feel like  the last thing you feel like doing, it works -  especially when you mean it.

Thursday December 11, 2008   Scattered but fun

(FULL MOON EVE and energies are powerful) MAKE INTENTS AND WISHES on what you wish

To release with the full moon 8;37am pst tomorrow.)

Today the moon in Gemini encourages us to fly from One place to the other, but a great aspect with VENUS (what we want and the planet of LOVE) should have Some of us doing something that is fun.

At 10:50pm tonight we have a MAJOR ASPECT so this is  Not the night I would be out and about in traffic.  ONCE every  YEAR and a half… MARS the planet of anger, action, War and what not (passion also, so this is not necessarily A BAD guy)  makes a Square or ROUGH aspect with Uranus The planet of change. 

10;50pm  TONIGHT is the night, but we have Been feeling that kind of itchy, irritated, and frustrated

Energy long before this day.  This is just the day… and The minute it is exact.  SMILE and let go of all frustrations And remember my motto. (WHAT DIFFERENCE IS This going to make in 100 years)   10 Years, or 2 hours. If it is going to have NO IMPACT in 2 hours. FORGET It and move on.   10 years and 100 years stuff is worth a Bit more effort.

-    KISS please be nice with what you say today

-    Color today white for purity of thought & Vision

-    Oil or Oregano which is one of the best antibiotics I know of.  This oil when put onto an infection has really helped me …I use only THE BEST Oils.  YOUNG LIVING Is pure and some of the other oils have perfumes…so use the good oils and you will be fine

-    JET or Black tourmaline for protection and to anchor you today and maybe the next month this  would be a great stone for you to be using since so many folks seem to be rushing and worrying a bit  more than normal don’t they?   So, smile and remember to tell others you care for them…

There is nothing more wonderful than someone saying to you  ‘I love you.’ That is pure eloquence.”– Maya Angelou

Friday  FULL MOON LETTING GO TIME IS HERE

Wednesday  December 10, 2008

Is a good day, but things will not go as planned

Today the moon in steady and stable Taurus (FIXED EARTH) begins to argue a bit with some

Of the planets in the sky.

At 4:03am we have a square from the Sun in the Sign of Sagittarius (wanting freedom, truth And justice with the planet (Uranus wanting Spontaneous change.  Balance might be good

5:42am the moon and Uranus get together and Toss some unexpected stuff into the mix.   At 9:48am  We all have things to do and the Moon and Saturn (accountability will assist us to get it done until 10:38am then Neptune tosses more things and Distractions into the theme.

At 2:23pm the moon makes a VERY GOOD ASPECT With Jupiter the planet of MORE in Capricorn and moves v/c until 11;33pm tonight.  So, this V/C  is a good one and…the Kiss for today is.

You can get lots done today but expect lots of distractions And that things will not go as planned

At 11:33pm the moon slips into Gemini and expect Tomorrow to be more of today, PLUS:  and that Can be good if you are ok with Spontaneity

-     Color today blue for clarity

-    Use jet or agates to ground you in and if you feel a Bit depressed this am?  Get out the golden citrine  or something Shiny and use it instead.   BE OPEN TO MIRACLES TODAY by being OK WITH What happens.

-    Oil of release to let go of outcome ….and maybe  Some sage to clear the air, or pine?  Or something  That makes or helps you to smile

Tuesday December 9^th  

(see you in Everett tonight?) If you prepaid at least 48 hours ago.

Today the moon in Taurus settles us in for an rather Earthy and centered day .  There was a rough aspect as We slept last night with the moon and Venus and stepping Out of others expectations of you seems to come with the Territory today. 

So if you awoke with a grump, and a  Grouch, blame it on a need for security and at the same Time an Almost FEROCIOUS energy towards independence And we seem to be trying to have both at the same time Don’t we?

The theme for the day may be “”WHO CARES, I want”     And providing you want what is good for everyone that Is not bad is it?  Stating your needs gently, kindly and with harm to none of course 

One of the first things I always do when doing relationship Counseling with people is ask “can you make me a list Of what you want in this relationship (job) whatever”

And then sit down and move to another sheet of Paper What you MUST HAVE TO SURVIVE:  which is Our NEEDS:  They often are very different aren’t they?

There is still lots of Fiery energy in the sky so expect That you may need to slow down, calm down and still Watch carefully as thunderclouds roll in for some around You. BUT not you, right?  You have been alerted by the Astrological weather forecaster you are reading.

-    Color today something peaceful

-    Use a stone which stimulates peace and calming

-    Oil of Orange, Lemon or citrus to cheer you up

-    Kiss for today, others are into their own needs so Be aware of that and embrace new perspectives for yourself

Staying Afloat Amidst the Spin
Taking Things Personally   FROM THE DAILY OMMM

mailto:today@dailyom.com   or visit

http://www.dailyom.com

Every time you interact with others, you have the choice to listen to, acknowledge, and let go of their words, or you can take what they are saying personally. Taking things personally is often the result of perceiving a person’s actions or words as an affront or slight. In order to take something personally, you must read negative intent  in an individual’s words or actions. But what people do and  say has no bearing upon you and is usually based on their  own experiences, emotions, and perceptions.  If you attempt to take what they do or say personally,  you may end up feeling hurt without reason.

The moon in Aries and the aspects from yesterday  Continue through the night and most of us will hit The floor running this morning.

Great aspects during the night and into the morning Increase awareness of others, and connect us more to our Own path.

By 12:25pm we have discovered more than can be Accomplished by a mere mortal sitting on our  Desks and are wondering how we can do this?  This is Jupiter in Capricorn Supersizing your opinion of yourself  And maybe your Bosses opinion of you also.

At 1:35pm things begin to align with a wonderful  mercury aspect and even though the moon is V/C at

this time there are some great energies to buy, sign contracts or otherwise connect to your next step.

10:52pm the moon SLIDES into Taurus and things Begin to settle, Earth sign moon times are times when We can more easily plan, and more easily recognize What is truly important and what can wait.

At 11:35pm a feeling that you are going to be ok and That YOU CAN DO it comes with a GREAT Pluto In Capricorn aspect taking us into a peaceful nights Sleep if you can turn off the stuff that is not done In  your head.

Color-      Blue for clarity and understanding the Importance of prioritizing today

Stone-      Kyanite to balance the chakras and  Stay away from Labradorite and the Awareness Opening stones today.  There is Already lots of  Information coming in and you will need Steadying.  Also if you do not have Kyanite You can always use an agate or jet

Oils-        White Angelica supports us in harmonizing And integrating physical, emotional & spiritual  Energy.  Relaxes and is great for headaches & A digestive stimulant.. I love this in the bath

Kiss for today would be Do what you can do and leave The rest.  What more can we do anyway and do it well?

Sunday December 07, 2008  Passions run high today

When the moon is in the sign of Aries often people Are a bit more adventurous, braver, and more into Risks and fun and adventure.  All of the above within Reason is great. 

But lets add 2 more things which makes the above Energy intensity by 400%   

First Venus is the planet which represents what we Want and has been in the more conservative sign of Capricorn for the last month.  TODAY at 3:27pm Venus Dons her Aquarius garb and the whole theme changes Of what we desire.

First Venus in Capricorn might best be seen dressed Or garbed in the role of the JUDGE, the ruler, the Person in authority.  Venus in Aquarius?  Well, get On those striped socks, and wear whatever you D..    Well please is the costume of Venus in Aquarius.

It is NOW  time to ENJOY being different, unique and A bit eccentric.   And watch those around you echo These themes and maybe you also?

And at 10:52pm tonight the planet Mars in the sign Of Sagittarius plays Happy with the moon, further Increasing an energy of independence and a desire To either HAVE IT Our own Way, or GO our own Way.  So, this might just not be the best time for That Ultimatum, right?

A good day and a busy one and a day when you Could decide to just GO FOR THE GOLD:

Kiss for today:    The people who matter will recognize   who you are.– Alan Cohen

Color today-        Whatever you darned well please

Stones                  I will use something to calm and  Soothe and settle me like Amber, Jet, aventurine (green)  Silver (a yin metal rather than Yang (outgoing)  Onyx, black tourmaline, or agates

Oil of -     Release™ Essential Oil Blend  Release combines uplifting, calming oils that stimulate  a sense of peace and emotional well-being, which in turn  facilitate the ability to release anger and frustration.  Repressed negative emotions lie at the root of many  health concerns. Release promotes harmony and balance  in the mind and body.  (young living and My favorite)

Sage would also work well, frankincense, or even to go outside and Smell the flowers, trees, grass, and fresh air.

Saturday December 06, 2008  LOTS happening today

The lesson of today is to go inwards, and encourage Self connections.  Meditation, prayer, or just learning Something new is great.  ALSO I would strongly  Recommend getting outdoors and enjoying nature. BREATE in peace, calming and Centering and know NOTHING has to be DONE RIGHT Now does it?

Today the moon in Pisces does not get along well with  Mercury (contracts) or duty and obligations (Saturn) And at 11:14am Mercury and Saturn set off in a bit Of a battle.

At 4:43pm the moon moves v/c or times out until 8:44pm when it enters Impulsive and courageous Aries and we are even more tempted to RUSH  Forward.

PLEASE No contracts or major purchases, or financial Decisions today.   By 8:38pm tonight things should be Looking up energetically and you will have lots more ideas On what needs eliminating after the

 full moon on the 12^th.

-     Color today blue for truth and clarity within, not without

-     Use sapphire or Labradorite for the same

-     Kiss for today…well, you can figure it can’t you?   Be the willow tree and bend and connect to nature

-     Oil of Basil to clear the head and help headaches,  or eat THAI food it has lemongrass, and other great herbs  and you get them naturally this way *(My choice tonight)

 and NEVER A WRONG TIME TO JUST DO IT

Friday December 05, 2008 

Today the moon in Pisces really has to work hard to get Us out of the practicalities of life.     Today is the First quarter Moon which is ½ way between the new moon 11/27 and the Next Full moon 12/12.   the challenge today is to use the Sun in Sagittarius (FIRE and action) and the moon in Pisces (Water and inward movement) and find the middle ground.

At 1:27pm the moon (our emotions) gets into a tussle with Mars the planet of action.  AGAIN, breathe deeply please And JUST   S L O W    down and you will be fine.

At 2:04pm the Sun touches Mars and again MORE FIRE And urge to……………..  WELL, personally I have lots Of fire in my chart and it always urges me to take on more Than I can reasonably do, act impulsively, and keep going Until I droop and drop.  All of which I would advise you NOT to do today.

10:07pm we top the day off with a WONDERFUL energy Of changing by our inner needs as Uranus the planet of Change and the moon join in the mystical sign of Pisces. Make intents and wishes tonight before bed and you will Have another wild and wonderful evening of inner and Maybe even spiritual growth:

Tonight would be a good night to go out and party (carefully) and be open to meeting new people.

-     Color today green for growth  and healing

-     Use frankincense or myrrh and if you are feeling grumpy  this evening how about getting outside and SMELLING LIFE and create some fun?

-     I would think that any stone which was connected to grounding and centering would work well today. Malachite is the $$ and  prosperity stone and also Citrine is the merchants stone.  So, either would be super.   If you have fears about finances.

Thursday December 4, 2008   MOON INTO Pisces

How appropriate after me writing all of the above that We have been dealing since

November 27^th  with all of The above energies as the moon has moved through these Signs of Change.

Today at 10:23am the moon makes a wonderful aspect With transformation as it moves into the

wonderfully Energetically open sign of Pisces.  Intuition is high Today but information coming in this evening will have Some large gaps.  Wait for a couple of days before  Acting on it.

Tonight at 9;52pm Mercury (logical ideas) makes a  Square  (rough aspect) with Uranus (change) 

Encourage your intuition as Chiron the wounded healer Is at work helping us all to be more aware.   Less worry

And More intuitive connection to source and watch All those fears evaporate.   (and no contracts tonight After 9:52pm also or tomorrow please)

-     Color today turquoise and use the stone of the same  for connection to the blue of  The water and the SKY  and the green of Earth and spiritual energy as they come together in harmony

-      Oil of Ylang Ylang to relax, balance and restore confidence and self love

Kiss for today:  do what your inner voice guides you to do, with harm to none and ENJOY LIFE

DREAMS should be wild tonight, take notes:

Squares ask that you shift your perception so that you Can see what is going on.   So, a rough aspect just Asks that you MOVE a bit, you can do that, right?
