Happy New Moon in Gemini!!!

This Hubble Space Image so reminds me of the spirit of this new moon in Gemini! A new birth--twin intentions!!! As we step into a new creative cycle, we have yet another opportunity to revise, start over, create anew!! Especially with mercury retrograde, there is a feeling for many people, in some area of life . . . "this or that" is not how i want to do it--especially over the last few days. So, today is the ultimate "reset" button day!! We can say "Reset!!" I choose to do it "this" way--instead, i'm going to "start over" in a new way that will really work better in the long run. Welcome to our whole new life, beginning TODAY!!! Happy New Moon in Gemini!!! I love Gemini energy because it is happy!! So a day to plant seeds of joy! What seeds can we plant today that will lead to our fullest expressions of joy at the full moon in two weeks? (our fruition and flowering for this new moon seed today) Hooorrrayyyy!!!

May your heart seeds be planted in the rich soulful soil of the collective dark sky of archetypal human consciousness!! And when this seed of today, planted in "yesterday's dark night," flowers at the Full Moon, may your flowering be a fullness of joyful emergence into your heart's untapped potentials for expanded states of joy!!

Note: I will be updating this blog again, now. I was evaluating how to share these stories and for now, this will do.

Harvest Full Moon Season

On September 15, 2008 at 3:13am Mountain Time, The moon was full in the Virgo/Pisces season of preparation and surrender. Today, September 17, the moon has just opposed Mars, Mercury, and will be opposite Venus this morning. In the same way that leaves turn bright colors, right before they drop from the tree, we too are compelled to ripen and bring to fruition, whatever has been growing in our hearts all summer long. Our harvest can be rich with our words, actions and gifts. It is time to share our gifts with our community and world.

Mercury Retrograde Sept.24-Oct.15, 2008

Three times a year, for three weeks, the planet mercury appears, from planet earth, to go backwards in our sky. The truth is, mercury is still whizing around the sun, moving forward, but to us mercury is moving backward. These kinds of mis-understandings are more common during the three weeks that mercury is retrograde. Just like this image, each of us lives in our own "telephone head" where we hear what we think we hear and see what we think we see, but in reality, this is our own personal experience. What is communicated between two "telephone heads" can easily be misunderstood. During this three weeks, remember that each of us is in our own head, when we communicate with others. During this time, there are some important guidelines for a more graceful, and even fun time:

1. Always double check dates and times
2. Always have a back-up plan
3. Communicate with extra care
4. Have patience
5. Be flexable
6. Know that mercurial glitches will happen
7. Be able to let go of a fax machine that is not working
8. Stop, breathe, let it go
9. Review whatever needs reviewing
10. Dig into our past to find treasures
11. Notice the syncronicity of our past emerging
12. If you need to, speak to planet mercury about it.

For activists, parents and mates, people's minds are most open to change during a mercury retrograde period than at any other time. Retrograde periods are times of review and rectification with our past. This one is in Libra, the sign of the balancing fall equinox, the place where male and female, self and other, seek to find balance. This three weeks, we will review relationships. This is a perfect time to clean out the closet, releasing the old, to make way for the new. This is a great time to re-pattern, by replacing old patterns with new ways that support our conscious evolution.

During the three weeks between September 24 and October 15, it is best not to sign contracts or begin new projects. If you do either of these things, it is likely you will repeat steps and need to redo things. This is a great time to pull out old projects that needed redoing or that piece of writing that just needs one more edit; a perfect time for re- words, renovation, reconsideration, recognition, remember, re-do, re-calculate, re-negotiate, re-file, re-store, re-write, re-imagine, re-work, respect.

Between September 24 and October 15, your mind will be worked on, by the evolutionary forces of life. If you find you are having a difficult time with communications devices, even your own mind, take it to nature, breathe, and return to devices and communications issues, refreshed. Renewed perspective makes all the difference.
