Horse Full Moon ~ December 2, 2009 to Blue Moon Eclipse, December 31, 2009

Gift Horse Full Moon ~ December 2nd 2009

Our 1st full moon this month makes the 2nd one on December 31st a rare, Full "Blue Moon" Lunar Eclipse on New Years Eve.

The second Full, Blue Moon is in the quirky, playful, peace loving sign of the Goat. These (2) signs (horse and goat) form a perfect novel pair, or check-mate.

From the earliest days in December this month is fueled with a new fusion of energetic forces at work and play. The likes of which is driven by an internal passion that delivers full throttle, external power.

With influences like these you can expect the whole month to be spicy, saucy, racy, sexy and perhaps even a bit raunchy. Here comes the paparazzi!

These influences usher in good news and bring grounding resources for the home and hearth. This transitional aspect is prolonged from our first full moon to new years, eve full blue, moon. It has an extended shelf life. These positive flows primarily benefit love and relations of all stripes and spots with an extra dose of matriarch luck to increase income.

Expect uncanny coincidences to spontaneously ignite romance that either strengthens passions or combusts toxic partnerships.

This moonshine shall open our eyes to solace and compassion where we need it most. It will bring back a plain-vanilla approach to integrity for life, love and liberty through the science of self betterment. But we can also expect some fancy footwork and quite a lot of legal wrangling in the tough luck department.

To fully utilize the natural course of these patterns don't approach situations head to head or try and battle it out, this slipstream is about compromise. Arbitrate and negotiate to cultivate lasting win/win solutions to build upon.

Spruce up your entire lifestyle by defining the treasured bonds through which time diversifies generations. Local environmental homebodies are creating earth-loving, eclectic methods for getting off-the-grid by choice, please feel free to join them.

Our consciousness of whole life systems is currently evolving and changing. Fortunately, painful sacrifice is not necessary with small, gradual shifts in perception. Incremental change promotes sustainable, practical methods of success without unnecessary grief and strive.

New value markers will need further development but go ahead and get on the band wagon to ride with the wind and harness any opportunity that comes out of the clear blue. Social factors are at an all time high so catch this wave while it's cresting.

Parties and festivities are sure to be filled with goodwill and cheer. Activities and schedules will be buzzing and humming, plots thicken and stews bubble over. A whole new decade on the horizon is rising at a break neck pace. Stay calmly collected and be well composed. Lucky for all of us comedy even seems funny again.

This is the dark Solstice season of year in the Northern hemisphere. We now turn from a Gold Cow year 2009-10 into the Regal, White Tiger's realm of eccentricity and invention of 2010-11.

Posting your lucky stars for all the signs on the zodiac beltway in the real world from our full moon cycle on December 2nd to the delightful and sporty, December 16th Cazimi, Rat New Moon 2009.

Going forward stay tuned to New Year's December 31st, Blue Moon Lunar Eclipse in the sign of the Goat.

Stars fly in an unlucky pattern that can leave you vulnerable so don't play the victim. Stay on guard and watch out for trouble by keeping a vigil over the things that really matter in a more genuine and sincere way. You alone are responsible for your happiness and well-being so blame no one when your choices unfold into predictable dramas. The log pile of planets in your sign look like a headache and a half. You may have to sacrifice your ego and call for help and reinforcements along this pathway. Fortunately you have all the right friends in all the right places. It will help to spend quality time mending fences away from the herd mentality.

Tiger - (aka: Aquarius) - transits: God of the Underworld Neptune (harmony/illusion), Grand Duke Jupiter (benefic), Winter Solstice
There is no shortage of bad press in the brotherhood, real or imagined. The Lucky Stars are like fighting tigers competing for high stakes. It's brutal out there, be wary and beware. Use an abundance of caution and improve security with practical solutions. There is no margin for error and no one is immune from life but with the right attitude you can bounce back from just about anything. Keep a low profile and stay below the radar. What's done is done, don't let an insignificant blip on the screen get in the way of the larger potential looming near.

Hare - (aka: Pisces, cat, rabbit, fish) - transits: Winter Solstice, Uranus (chaos/order)

Your lucky stars are a bit tarnished and the illness star is down right debilitating so please, take it easy. Do treat the symptoms - but you must also root out the cause. Lots of changes will be taking place in this venue, the tree of life. Health, family and agelessness are all a big hit. Stay poised for success by taking care of all the old business, now. There is an abundance of creative avenues opening up and soon you'll be speeding down the expressway of a lovely new life. To be fully prepared get scaled back and pack light!  

Dragon - (aka: Aries)
Lucky stars clash in the halls of leadership. Too much idle chatter leads to no good end. If you have any idea what is best for you, then leave the squabbling to the birds. Best practice suggests keeping all politics under wraps and out of the limelight until a far more auspicious point in time arrives. Get your foot off the gas pedal, you are the only one driving yourself crazy. Batten down the hatches and ride out the storm, seasons of transformation are upon us. 

Serpent - (aka: Taurus, snake)
Seek out a sanctuary and shed that old dead skin from all of last years extenuating circumstances. The good the bad and the ugly all need to go. You need a fresh, new outlook on life. The only way to get that is to go underground, hibernate for a short spell and sleep through the whole procedure. You'll awaken totally refreshed with a complete sense of self-awareness.

Horse - (aka: Gemini) - transits: Full Moon 12/02 (full yang)
This is where the best lucky stars are flying valiant and strong. Kick it in gear. There is the potential for a new money machine to work in wondrous ways that everyone hoped for but no one really expected. Of course there will be a few kinks in the system but you should still enjoy it while it lasts. Your secret friends and close partnerships will get a fantastic, boost of sonic energy for superb special effects!!! Lucky stars fly all round this zone for love and jackpot, money luck! Go for the gold.

Goat - (Cancer, sheep, deer) - transits: Full Blue Moon, Partial Lunar Eclipse 12/31
Heaven and money luck conspire in deluxe fashion and with style and grace to deliver benefits to your career door. Small matters have made a big impression on a larger dynamic that equals pay dirt! Mind your manners, don't over work and don't undersell yourself. Keep the peace and tow the line. On New Years eve in the western world the fabulous, Full Blue Moon, Lunar Eclipse is beaming you good vibes of a lifetime. The early part of the month provided a clue which way this wind blows. Fly your kite in your field of dreams and lightening could strike twice.

Monkey - (aka: Leo) - transits: War God, Mars (energy), goes retrograde motion 12/20 - til spring 2010
Super money stars are flying in your career luck. Lots of little things add up to something! But check all your big, new ambitions at the door for a long winter's nap. Over stepping is ill advised. No big projects should be under taken or attempted with Mars out of whack in the Monkey sign. Don't bite off more than you can chew or you risk it all falling to pieces come next March. Research and inventive measures fare well, get repairs, get revised and get busy doing what needs done close at hand.

Bird - (aka: Virgo, Phoenix, rooster)
Heaven Luck pays a visit to the bird with a bundle of fine, feathers for your cap or to fluff the nest. This is the time to gain clarity after a long drawn out Saturn transit of the last, two plus years. Now that this is all behind you, let go of any toxic thoughts or feelings that have held you back. Flush out the system and screen for contaminates. Get clear on the big picture for the high times you desire in your near future. Next year small change amounts to a big income.

Dog - (aka: Libra, lion) - transits: Saturn (time)

Saturn, known as father time is now bearing down hard in the court of appeals for a long haul. There seems to be no escaping this karmic response, chickens have come home to roost. Trust me there is no sense in fighting this battle it will only do you harm. Instead take a long view and make short term corrections as you go. At least for now you should just bid your time and let this hand play out. There are no good cards and bluffing will not foster any good result. Draw a line in the sand and keep score. All bets are off. 

Pig - (aka: Scorpio, pig)
The luck stars are under a huge amount of stress and strain this month. But there are some bright spots to harvest. Necessity is the mother of invention so don't give up, just surrender for the moment to avoid any loss of potency or progress. Breakthroughs come when we meet our challenges rather than avoid them but don't take any undue risks and minimize making any drastic changes. In fact, let the cosmic dust settle before putting even a toe in this icy water.

Pig New Moon ~ November 16, 2009

Pig New Moon - November 16, 2009

Posting from Pig New Moon, November 16, 2009 to Horse Full Moon December 1, 2009.

Today we go ahead in reverse drive. The pignacious-ness of this moon is highly refined with an extra-strength, potency vibe. Complicated to the core, this boar will be running amok in cosmic dust from the get-go.

Our late, fall Pig New moon arrives V/C (void-of-course, meaning makes no connections) from just before noon until past bedtime (9:45PM PST). So get it done early, if it needs doing or else don't write anything in stone. Otherwise when the chemistry is altered you'll have to retake the test. 

Get focused and organized or step to the end of the line, it's that simple. Folks will be chasing their ducks around in a line. Life tutors, mentors and other assorted sundry, surrogate types and stripes will be on call to fill-in the gaps.

The planets (Jupiter & Neptune are in the Tiger carving out abstract angles with Venus, Sun & Moon in his secret buddy, the Pig sign) are aligned in such-a-way as things may not appear in the form you had intended... "take a step back, the ocean is broad and the sky is vast" the Tao. This special alignment is brief and only made possible by this rare conjunctive event.

For a limited time only people, places and things can leave long-lasting, romantic impressions. Deep connections in research are made and sonar picks up a blip from the neither regions. We are nearing the 2nd act and going into an extended intermission, winter is close at hand.

Success in these transits is known to follow those who are hospitable and gracious with an unwavering pursuit of better ends. Initially these aspects come off as a real tightrope act if you are just trying to get something done rather than make another practice run. The energy here-and-now is all about new beginnings infused with future references. Save the finishing touches for once you get the ball rolling.

A dark Madonna has our Lady Venus standing by along with the Mr. Sunshine to promise rainbows on the other side of our darkest moments in time. There is plenty of support with this aspect so ask for it, you'll need every ounce of it. Let down your guard and get on with it.

This little piggy goes all the way to market with the Sun and Venus adding super antioxidants and retro booster rockets to our moon's invisible, aura of influence. Initially it's going to be a shot in the dark so take your best aim and let arrows fly.

With a renewed sense of effort and a keen observation one can uncover opportunities even from the wreckage of the worst life disaster. If you look for the invisible thread called "the presence" then things will pull together, where once they fell apart.

Ultimately, you can win out against all odds. Neck-bending, hindsight will not track you forward. A determined, foresight and vision free of constraints is the best way to tee off onto this fairway.

The bonus factor on board is a sure bet for seekers making total transformations. Our vixen, Venus can shape-shift even the ugliest ducky into a rare gem and beauty to behold.

A just-in-time space continuum builds an ultra-dimensional, gravitational pull toward new frontiers with only a rough (thumbnail) sketch on the platform. Sometimes an exaggerated sense of things to come provides the leverage you need to negotiate a good deal! Map it out.

Through the whirling haze of these daunting configurations in our milky way assert yourself and be an active dynamic in your designs on life. Something is far better than nothing, that's the rule. Work with what you've got on hand, shoot for the moon and waste not one second on what is for naught.

Here are your Lucky Stars through this moon phase for each of the zodiac positions on the equatorial clock. 

Rat - (aka:  Sagittarius, mouse) - transits: Mercury (messenger), Sun (image) on 11/20
Don't risk disappointment and accidental failures it is time to pull out the stops and be happy, now! Fun and games, sporty, worldly ways with a youthful spirit toward all life in general gives you the razors edge you've been looking for. Use it to cut through the red tape that allows your big ideas to ripen. Everything will come together quickly when you apply the first rule and break-it-all-down, taking it step by step. Money flows dependent upon how well you circulate it yourself. Do unto others long before you expect a favor to be returned. Give it time and good bounces back ten fold. Lucky Stars are good to risky, don't be to casual with safety.

Ox - (aka: Capricorn, cow, buffalo) - transits: Pluto (fate)
You are able to leap over mountains and afford slip streams of income (aka: manna) to accomplish great things with ease in this cycle. Be not afraid to strap on the yoke. Take a firm grip on the mantle of power and ready the ground for planting anew life. There will be set backs to bear as we move through the frozen wonder of the dark slumber but once we awaken we will find the table is already set. Contemporary and traditional you can't have, they are off the menu. I know you had your heart set on it but instead you get bio-diversity and cultural controversy. If I know you, you're already singing it's merits and tapping it's tune. Lucky stars shine for you!
   
Tiger - (aka: Aquarius) - transits: Jupiter (increase), Neptune (consciousness)
You have a great bunch of sticky, lucky stars with backup plasma factors in case any of them dim in the slightest. Sure there are tense moments and tough measures to be hashed out over the long haul but you are a professional, that's what you get paid for. Plus this kind of friction goes with the whole, new fusion territory. Who do you think you're fooling? Tiger's love to have something they drag back to the den and sink their claws into. You are doing them a favor to take this on. Trust me when you roar it turns everyone else into flakes and nuts for breakfast.

Hare - (aka: Pisces, cat, rabbit, fish) - transits: Uranus (chaos)
Your shelf life suddenly hits a peak, wholeness. Vibrantly colored possibilities splash across the scope of your dusky horizon and anticipation rises up to circulate around the core. Though not there yet, clearly a way is opening up for that all important jump factor. Bunnies know better than to leap before they look and cats have a reputation for landing on their feet, to keep. This year your bright instincts got dulled by dust clouds on the cows well trod, dirt path. Now you get to even the score. Lucky Stars bring big breaks with a light dusting of wish fulfillment.

Dragon - (aka: Aries)
The chemicals are still volatile in this mix but you've got a natural talent to manage this stew of conjectures thoughtfully and carefully. You won't be able to get away with what has worked before so toss out the old and get the newly evolved, edition of star patterns to guide you. You'll have plenty of dashing, love luck to go around even when you aren't looking. Cozy up to it sweetly. These Stars double down with a bonus savoir faire, more than you've ever dreamed possible. Stay tuned to the good side and watch the sunshine!

Serpent - (aka: Taurus, Snake)
Pushing turtles is one of the 7 highly effective habits of non resistance. Recent erratic shifts in the landscape unearthed reinforcements of hope and courage from an outside source to smooth the path. This has allowed you to actively pursue rather than casually peruse your better ends. And that's really the most important point, isn't it? What once seemed bad has really just lead you to a new cabbage patch, instead. Luck stars are Auspicious!!! Pull out all stops and go for it (u can thank me later) with absolutely everything to gain! Money reigns and peach blossom luck is in full bloom.

Horse - (aka: Gemini) - transits: full moon on 12/01
Well, well, well... it doesn't really get any better than this does it? Your lucky stars are brimming with positive waves and good vibrations at a solid rate and frequency. The cards fall in your favor with a royal flush that streaks from your personal life all the way through into your work drive. Success rates will look astounding on the charts and can be easily multiplied!  Ask and you shall receive. These gifts are divine so be sure and say grace.

Goat - (aka: Cancer, sheep, deer)
Lay the groundwork properly you've been riding hard and driving fast. The AHA moment in time you ordered has finally arrived making you a power driven, dynamo with energy to spare. You don't mind doing it all and being it all, that's what gives you a deep, sense of security and paves the way for your future to unfold. Lucky Stars display mixed results and are a bit lack luster in this time frame. You'll need to screen for contaminants, consistently. Be advised to get extra rest and seek stress relief. Hold down the fort and take it easy.

Monkey - (aka: Leo) - transits: Mars (energy)
Find the solution to the puzzle if it takes you all night and day to do it. The very essence of your life seems to depend upon it. Strangely enough words like discipline and conscious efforts are becoming music to your ears. You relish the chance to bite off the bigger piece and don't mind going the extra mile and half to go, get-it! Peel only one banana at a time, my friend and stick to it. Lucky Stars bring mixed blessings so lay low to keep healthy and refrain from the usual hi jinx.

Bird - (aka: Virgo, Phoenix, Rooster)
A waking dream carries you forward to a new evolution of yourself. Your lucky stars shine dim on the horizon. Your near future is freshly plucked from the shadows of lost and forgotten dreams in a spirit quest. Angels swoop in for a rescue and yet another battle begins. Even if you are a first responder stay on the sidelines and out of the lime light if you know what's good for you. To turn the tide and rid yourself of all the backwash remember it's what you send out that is always showing up on your shore. Lucky Stars are perilous - avoid all risk.

Dog - (aka: Libra, lion) - transits: Saturn (time)
Time is on your side if you'd just quit borrowing it from the future to cover the past. The lucky stars have loaded the deck with extra special shiny stars that last and last and last. It's the little things that really add up to something. A hill of beans can grow overnight into fields of plenty with all the extra-potent, heaven luck you've got for fertilizer. Leave picking through the leftovers to signs like the rat. While you are on a roll stay long and go deep at the table. Lucky Stars deliver the goods in great measure. Play politics and make public relations out of practically, everyone. Deputize yourself and lead the pack.

Pig- (aka: Scorpio, Boar) - transits: Sun (image), Moon (moods), Venus (love and luxe)
Delightfully unaware our super sonic, sleuth manages to despoil the diabolical plans of the underworld by some unintended, consequential twist. Our unassuming hero is worshiped for being the most disarmingly, charming investigator of the zodiac. Natural spunk and true grit are the secret ingredients that lead directly to your discoveries and unearth exactly what you wished for. Get out and about. Track down paradoxical clues to be drawn and quartered. Spin a yarn, the masses love a good mist-story. Superior Luck delivers the goods in full and on time. Be the Star.

Serpent Full Moon - November 2, 2009

Serpent Full Moon, November 2nd, 2009

This post covers our Serpent Full (yang) Moon on November 2nd, 2009 to the Pig New (yin) Moon on November 16th, 2009.

Radical formations ripen into rare opportunities under this galactic influence. For those who solve the ageless, mystic riddle this moon presents (along with a special prize) they will discover an even bigger mystery lies waiting just below the surface. Here is my officially, published hypothesis and the true story of how our moon came to exist.

A billion or so years ago in another galaxy far away a planet that had once been very much like ours (but more highly evolved, of course) was rapidly collapsing into a gazillion pieces. It was becoming something called a white dwarf and nothing could stop it.

During the demolition of energy in dimensional space it blew completely apart. One of the larger chunks was thrown way out of bounds into another field of plane. This location just so happened to be our milky way. When it arrived here Earth was a desolate place, devoid of life and embroiled in a chemical, combustion fire from it's own core.

This fragment of an old world once teaming with life, such as our own was now just a whirling, post-organic mass, forsaken and forgotten. It was sucked in by Earth's formation of it's self by the severe electromagnetic, atmospheric storm currents surrounding our planet at that time.

As this visitor, an orphan of some other world slowed down and cooled further it settled and shifted motion. In so doing it literally spun out of energy and got trapped in a sub, lunar orbit. It no longer had a trajectory strong enough to propel it outward so it was locked into a lasting, harmonic co-dependency.

This wandering stranger's close encounter with our planet precipitated a dual action that helped to steady a once turbulent, young Earth to it's own, unique elliptic plane. Proving itself useful much like a counterbalance or cosmic ball bearing.

Loose bits of external debris began to come off the frozen, cosmic blob as hot solar winds smoothed and polished it's bumpy, icy surface. Raw, stellar compost fell through our atmospheric pressures, slipping through the cracks and fissures of our planets scabby, barren surface. Thus our pre-primordial ooze was planted with the castoff from a remote and lost civilization.

Bite sized chunks of frozen matter that had once hosted advanced life forms were sprinkled like seasoning into our boiling seas of mush. This added the key formative ingredients and vital components that we needed in order to evolve.

Our interstellar, happy accident with random chance transferred the essential components to "seed" the base mix with essential DNA, creations building block. An external crust and membrane formed rather quickly as a result and a new dawn broke in our history.

From the unfathomed contours of a dying world ours was born. The resurrection of life from a distant time and place began all over again. It is why we seek our home elsewhere and how we became a living growing, organism from a burning rock that invaded our space. It is why the moon is our mother.

Well that's obviously enough for now, perhaps in another post I can share stories of this other world civilization (where we came from)... if anyone out there wants to hear all those tall, tales. But for now here are your lucky stars for this moon cycle.

Rat - (aka: Sagittarius, mouse) rules the mind - transits: Mercury (messenger) 11/15
You are the lucky one on this merry-go-around and the circus is back in town. Luck stars deliver small miracles when and where you need them most. But you must train yourself to look for and recognize serendipity and her twin sister synchronicity to collect on the benefits, fully. Happiness is not a promissory note, you must cultivate the good and discard the bad. Don't let weeds grow in your garden plot keep the groundwork up to speed. Word travels fast and right now you'll be at your philosophical best so use that to your advantage. These luck stars have a sporty, dapper edge to them. Your love power to the nth degree may come as a surprise to you so be attentive and passionate with this personal resource, it is totally renewable. Money finds you so you can afford to be generous in spirit.

Ox - (aka: Capricorn, buffalo, cow) governs status - transits: Pluto (fate)
Growth factors increase your lucky advantage over all. But still you cannot shake that strange feeling that someone is looking over your shoulder watching your every move. Better get use to it since it will be needling you for the next few years. Use the power of love to connect the dots. To locate harmony within and without you will need strength to make some personal sacrifices. They are really only ego centric remains from your past so let go of control. It is easy to love what you love. Try to love what you hate and watch the dark areas in your world dissolve and be transformed. Move ahead to a new scene in the storyline. For too long you have been hung up on what isn't. You should realize by now you are getting exactly what you are expecting. Look around you to see what that expectation really is and then adjust your mindset accordingly.

Tiger - (aka: Aquarius) projects vision - transits: Jupiter (increase), Neptune (harmony)
Lucky stars go way beyond your wildest expectations to generate and regulate a new cash flow. This is the time to tap that well. It goes deep. Bigger than life, grander than grandiose a stroke of pure genius unfolds. This is all under the radar so keep a tight lid on it. Stay clear of any loose cannons rattling around. Only network on a tight ship. Too much self awareness can expand an unconscious, critical review that can be misleading and misconstrued. Do some digging, investigate and remain in an observational mode. Something is not what it appears to be. Avoid laying any claims that could later be revoked. Love takes a honeymoon adventure in a jungle setting. You are behind the eight ball so there is no need to take a shot until you feel steady and ready.  You don't need proof yet, only a good story.

Hare - (aka: Pisces, cat, rabbit, fish) saves grace - transits: Uranus (chaos)
To rid you of all the excess dust bunnies that have accumulated, unfettered in your nest your luck has been shaved bare. Down to the bone. It's turned out to be a whole crew cut instead of a light trimming of the staff. There is no sense arguing about it since nothing can be done until your fur coat grows back. When you are no longer overly upset about the inevitable you may see how this actually plays out to your better ends. Our worst challenges help us refine ourselves and develop character traits as tools for a greater realization and acceptance. Stir the pot and the contraband you seek will rise like cream to the top. Greater definition promotes a delightfully, brilliant solution so don't let yourself get bogged down in a funk. To the victor over doom and gloom goes the spoils.

Dragon - (aka: Aries) instills vitality
Ring the bell! Shine it on!! Your lucky stars are big, bright, juicy and bouncy. Being that you now have the mojo that makes you infinitely desirable to your good, please don't waste it on becoming a rock star. That is unless you like being chased and trampled on by a bunch of groupies gone wild. Sonar runs deep on this set of circumstances so please do not spend all your time in the cave, come out and play. Pure magic is beaming this sparkly kind of frosting on the pleasure zones in your life and times. It won't last forever so don't overdo. Only be your eccentric self up to a point after that be more romantic and peachy keen. Try not to be affected by all the hoopla, but enjoy it while it lasts. Strong growth patterns emerge through the transition phase, run your tests now. Money comes to you.

Serpent - (aka: Taurus, snake) distills wisdom - transits: Full Moon (yang moods)
All your Lucky Stars are at peak performance bringing an exalted state of being to everything you do. This benefit runs straight across the board through all phases and is designed to fit you like a glove. It may feel as if you discovered quicksilver in your backyard. Even if you don't have a backyard you'll find one of those or perhaps two. Literally and figuratively doors are opening up for you. The lucky star of infinity perpetuates your good fortune and combines it's energy with the peach blossom star of literary success and romance!! This brings added value to your top projects and makes social climbing a fun enterprise, as a natural artifact. Veils and veils of secrecy are draped around every point of view so that the real shape of things is restricted and revealed only to a select few.   

Horse - (aka: Gemini, twins) delivers power
Great lucky stars conspire to bring success in waves of adoration. This is a fusion of energetic combination's that can be quite exhausting. Be very elective and selective about matters. Too much of something one way or the other can leave you feeling used, like a stuffed shirt or overly compensating. Don't get me wrong this brings ballast to your projects and ideas, it's some long, leggy luck my friend. Just be sure that the substantive qualities override the hype. Under sell and over deliver, don't over sell and under perform. Of course my horses are ultra conservative to the core even when they are liberal minded on the side. They usually don't even saddle up for a race around the track without a healthy purse at stake and a generous feedbag awaiting them back at the barn.

Goat - (aka: Cancer, sheep, deer) desires peace
A lucky streak brings gold to the table that can be melted down and used for just about anything next month. For now you must be Miss Prudence with care and caution to lesson these damp star patterns and influences. The luck stars here are a tad salty and sour with a bitter aftertaste. This is a good period to lay low and take on all the meaty, weighty, tricky business you've been assigned to from behind the scenes. This is not the time to grab the limelight with an illness star gumming up the works. Stick close to the basic comforts of home and bide your time. Revel in this quiet period to get back in touch with the daily rituals that sustain and ground you.  No amount of pushing and shoving will achieve results only patience and understanding win out at the end of this cyclic row. Do the limbo.

Monkey - (aka: Leo) drives ambition - transits: Mars (energy)
The little pieces in your life that you thought were a bunches of useless leftovers turned inside-out (reverse the trend) become a virtual gold-mind of opportunity. Heaven luck still shines down upon you but there is a need to hold something back to max out your funding potential. Success likes to play hard to get. A well presented suggestion is better than being overly exposed to draw attention and will garner you a second look over the competition. The insignificant and mundane take on a new level of high interest through sheer cleverness. Right now bigger work may be left wanting so relax your standards and pass time with your favorite hobby craft to ease up on fault finding. Soak up the warm glow of the home and hearth where friendships are highlighted for care and consideration. Added, extra protection and a check of all security systems is strongly advised for children and newly inspired ideals and projects. 

Bird - (aka: Virgo, Phoenix, rooster, hen) esteems virtue
Just go to bed now and start taking your own temperature and checking vital signs. Get ready for a taste of your own medicine. Prep the infirmary with extra sick beds and have a spare hot water bottle handy. Stock the shelves with soup, crackers and fruit cocktails. The stars here are funky (sarp yit, the illness star meets the broken soldier) in a way that you don't even want to know. You must lock up these stars by creating a sanctuary and comfort zone for those coming in off the battle field of strife and strain. The first aid kit should be packed with plenty of good humor to help you recover from this ill spell and injurious, liability cycle. Don't get your guard up or let your guard down. Just stay poised and take preventative measures to gain any kind of ground you can muster. You won't see it coming so wear your suit of armor and carry lucky amulets to ward of danger and stay safe from harm. 

Dog - (aka: Libra, lion) serves duty - transits: Saturn (time)
Lucky you! The stars favor you in the best possible light through this cycle of change. Little things begin to really add up to something and heaven smiles on your best laid plans. Of course there is still the matter of all that unfinished business, but who can sit still for all that god awful nonsense. Feel free to chuck it all and make hay when the sun shines. You won't be disappointed. Lighthearted whimsy is the only way to shake and bake these karmic critters from your coat tails. Too much calculated effort is bringing you down with trials and tribulations that keep shifting your priorities aside. How can you score when the goal line is moving all the time.

Dog "Cazimi" New Moon ~ October 17, 2009

Posting your lucky stars! An overview with all the zodiac signs from new moon 10/17 to full moon 11/2.

The Cazimi moon (moods) is a special "light" effect by virtue of minor degrees. It means "heart of the Sun" in Arabic.

It is an alignment of the Sun (image) where the moon's center crosses over the center of the solar disc. In an instant you can get to the heart of a matter whether that be a person, place or thing.

This is not a common occurrence... and everyone can benefit. It's brief encounter touches upon something ever so lightly and yet it leaves an indelible impression. It's quick too, it seems to flit in from out of nowhere.

This is happening in the Dog (aka: Libra) (serves duty) sign where a tense square  between the Dog and the Ox (aka: Capricorn, cow, buffalo) (rules status) is about to begin. Pluto the dwarf (fate) is at the near zero point of the Ox, the early stage of a 15 year transit. Soon it will lock horns with Saturn the taskmaster (time) which is moving into the Dog sign for the next 2.5 years on 10/29. The hammer is down, the shoe drops.

But somehow we have this extraordinary, divine grace built-in at the early stages of a long, tight rope. It's "moon beam" sends down light in a new direction to illuminate a better path. Follow the light and don't falter. This dog new moon is a brave lion heart! True romance and affection gets more than half a chance.

New Moon's by nature are a start phase and through this one Saturn is quite nearby -but not yet able to take charge. This gives up the idea of some sort of stay or writ, especially since the Dog rules courts and transportation. Becoming somehow constrained and or consigned also comes to mind.

But there clearly is a silver lining in this purse so look for the catch that opens the vault. Follow the rainbow of good vibes that stream in to heal and prosper your sense of well being. Lean on the good side.

There is no avoiding what will come, the wheels are already set in motion. Saturn's rings are all powerful and Pluto is the counterbalance that tips the scales. The trick will be to see past the limitations that arise so we can proceed onward to success in spite of setbacks or holdovers.

Treat every problem like it is doing you a favor of some kind. This converts it's energy into manageable circumstances. Learn now and begin to practice - letting go of control. This is the last rest stop on a treacherous trail along a rocky crag that leads to the sublime.

Foremost the Dog is a soldier for life, love, liberty and justice for all. Those who forget that higher motive will suffer most. Do yourself a favor and be on the right side of this lunar glow. Live and let live, forgive and forget, don't bury the bone or play the victim. And no martyr's either, please... unless you have an iron clad, union contract.

Rat - (aka: Sagittarius, mouse, mongoose)
The rat rules the mind and it has finally been dealt a fortunate hand when looking beyond the obvious. They say sex is in the brain. If that is even remotely true then this erogenous zone has been under-construction for quite some time. Now that a roundabout method has opened up some of the most congested areas, new uses for gray matter will be found. In essence every time you use the new loop hole to get past the trauma and drama you translate excess energy that lights the eye of the Dragon. The benefits and rewards of this feature will be many and numerous to the masses. More than ever imagined. So it seems the gain will supplant the initial pain of elective surgery.  To manage an ardent admiration for a love quest de-stress and refrain from any past tense.

Ox - (aka: Capricorn, cow, buffalo) - transits: Pluto the Dwarf planet (fate)
The ox governs status which has gotten itself bogged down in red tape and the seven veils of bureaucracy. But without it the alternative transparency has revealed a stock pile of dirty laundry. Sooner or later old business has to go through the wash once and for all. Dirty secrets stain reputations and need a deep, steam clean with new conditioning. Power-up the turbo wash and get that guy thing right out of your hair. You must give up wanting - if you are to ever get what you hope for. Excessive power plays are numbing the mind and you must understand that the real battle has yet to begin. Save yourself some anguish and bypass the remote control issues. No presets are required for endless opportunities to release, let go and grow.

Tiger - (aka: Aquarius) - transits: Neptune God of the Underworld (harmonic) (retrograde), Jupiter the Grand Duke (benefic)
The tiger projects vision with forward gusto for the sake of adventure. Yet sometimes success comes suddenly when you least expect it after a long, hard haul. Those around you may be quick to imply that for you this is natural, but you know differently. In the blink of an eye you will glimpse the enormous potential that sits waiting for you to tap it's proceeds. At first you may only casually get a sense of this splendid trajectory but soon enough you will be in possession of it's finer points and mysteries. Your destination is really a departure to a whole other pathway. One that leads the industry and humanity into an enhanced realization.
 
Hare - (aka: Pisces, cat, rabbit, fish) - transits: Uranus the Chaos (order)
The hare saves grace and so you wouldn't want anyone to know just how relieved you've been recently to discover that (finally) everyone elses weals and woes seem more dark and dense than your own. In fact somewhere along the lines things have started to loosen up and to lighten it's death grip. The pressure is not entirely off but the valve is no longer sticking or fixating on an end point that is clogging up the system. Expectations have grown far and away from the old set of standards you use to apply. Duck feathers are layered over your fur giving you a new resilience to the ever-changing times. You know something about yourself now that is making all the difference in the world.

Dragon - (aka: Aries) All Hallows Eve (witches new year) on 10/31
The dragon instills vitality to invigorate and stimulate the economy of our own sense of being. Leadership roles have been tested and found wanting. Opposition to the newer models are showing signs of wear even before they have been fully vetted. You may have no choice but to get back to the drawing board and dive back into the water. Submerge yourself in the knowing you seek to attain. And stop taking so much for granted. You've bitten off the quick. If you only see what you think you see, with no possible other options... then you will miss the "x" that marks the spot. It is there where you will find piles of buried treasure are hidden. Dragon's by nature lead complex lives but don't let that keep you form seeing the simple solutions and get back to basics.

Serpent - (aka: Taurus, snake) - transits: Full Moon (moods), Dia de los Muertos (All Souls day) on 11/1
The serpent distills it's wisdom into the elixir of life to mold yet another potential future from the compression that has consumed it over the years. It takes you back to where you started but on a whole new plateau, a wider platform with expansive folds. You are less apt to ever want to undo the past now that you know where it leads you. Preferring to just let it be, there is no residual remorse. The glow at the end of this tunnel is a beckon with a siren that recently went off in the silence of your daily prayer. A  haunting kind of passion has drawn you in like a moth to the flame. There is no danger in pursuing this guiding light only absolute certainty and clarity. Pull on this thread, as it leads you to the best part of your story.

Horse - (aka: Gemini)
The horse delivers power in the last stretch of the raceway to get over the finish line in the nick of time. You've been clocking the days to a brighter future and wondering if just-winging-it, to-get-by is now an everyday kind of ticktock movement. Levity is the thing that defies gravity, do not get bogged down in the swamp of past associations. This is only the first act in a long running, series with a whole new character set and value system. Since you really want to help, allow inspiration to be your guide. Stay well positioned on the observational, upper deck so you can reach out for the grand opportunities as they float by on the ocean breeze. Steady your nerves and borrow some reserve to make sure nothing gets out of hand.

Goat - (aka: Cancer, sheep, deer)
The goat desires peace and is tireless in it's undying pursuit of this bliss modal. Goats succeed often since they can simply and surely wear you down over time. The competition is mowed down like any patch of grass or brier bush beneath them. No metal, glass, fabric or foreign object gets in their way, nothing stops them. They nibble and chomp away at whatever is in front of them and will nip at your heels giving you no peace until they get theirs. Resistance is futile. While you were busy sleeping they moved past your marker and spilled your beans. Since you can't beat them, join them. They bring bushels of creativity to the table with charm, grace and a stiff wit. They remake the landscape of things through their very presence.

Monkey - (aka: Leo) - transits: Mars the War God (energy)
The monkey drives ambition like a dune buggy over the sand pits to the water's (consciousness) edge. On other side of this quicksand is the deeper quagmire yet to unfold. And yet it is over this desert wasteland that we must cross to get to our promised land of milk and honey. New sources of power are just barely beginning to emerge. Partner up with your secret friend the serpent to provide the magic to harness the medium. Magnetic waves and charms can be adapted to serve a wider set of goals. This new style fusion is likely to provide a lasting legacy to draw upon endlessly. Grin and bare it all!

Bird - (aka: Virgo, Phoenix, Rooster) - transits: Saturn the Taskmaster (time)
The bird esteems virtue and your glory days are dawning if you can get the bits of scatter out of your brain. Saturn's long confrontation with Uranus is essentially all but over for good. The release of energy is melting the blockage of biomass like our polar ice caps. Fast and without constraints. Nothing seems to be resolving a larger set of issues still looming large but when you rise above it all you will see the key. This position is exalted and the gifts that Saturn deposits by the door (as it departs for another 25 years loop around the beltway) are legendary in scope and scale. Make sure your passages are all open and crystal, clear.

Dog - (aka: Libra, Lion) - transits:  Sun King (image), Cazimi New Moon (Hunter's moon), Venus our Lady (love & luxe), Mercury the Messenger (news), Saturn the Taskmaster (time) on 1/29
The dog serves duty and in the coming days you will wonder if the world has conspired for you or in some cases, against you. When Saturn lands in your sign on the 29th you will begin a 2.5 year trial period and the law of unintended consequences will preside. Pluto immediately sets up a square position in the Ox. This on the surface will seem harsh but to take it in this way would be an error in judgment. I urge you to hold back on making up your mind pro or con. You have friends in a higher court of appeals. A curse is really a blessing in disguise and it is now your soul mission to find us a way out of this maze. Get out the bloodhounds and pick up a fresh scent along the trail.

Pig - (aka: Scorpio, Boar) - transits: Sun King (image) 10/22, Mercury the Messenger (news) on 10/28
The pig confers nobility and now more than ever is a great time to entertain the masses by pulling a fluffy, white rabbit out of a black, top hat. The thing you thought defines you now seeks to confine you. There is however a silver spoon in the mix and it's got your name specially engraved on it. In fact there is a whole collection of benefits awaiting confirmation of delivery, more than you know or realize. I'd say you can't do better than your best, so stick to that game plan. You are a master of disguise so let nothing bother you and become the thing you want to be by dressing up for it. Then get busy snuffing out those elusive truffles where angels fear to tread. Fortune favors the brave.

Dragon ~ Full Harvest Moon

Posting your lucky stars bi-weekly, from moon to moon (Full Moon 10/3 to New Moon 10/17)

The late coming Harvest Moon this year falls in the Dragon (aka: Aries) sign on the equatorial clock, October 3, 2009

"It does not do to leave a Dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him"  J.R.R. Tolkien

This Harvest moon arrives late or in my estimation I see it as going long since Dragons have legendary, longevity. Often when things come late or later in life they are said to be sweeter and more potent.

Bigger than anticipated opportunities will arise out of the blue. New starts will have a greater shelf life than originally thought.

Dragon's own a leadership role, they blow the horn, ring the bell, sound the alarm and make whatever "noise" is required to be noticed. Dragon's don't do things quietly.

Even when they disappear to their lair (which is often) they can leave a deafening sound of silence in their wake.

Our moon is no wall flower motif it will build energy at the core of it's being that will come to some use or be expended in some direct fashion.

There is feisty opposition in this moon cycle (from full moon to new moon) as our sun sits opposite in the ever protective, Dog (aka: Libra, lion) sign. Stand on the right side or you could get dinged. 

You can expect peak performances and long lasting situations that develop out of some rather unusual circumstances.

Here are your Lucky Stars for all the zodiac signs in this moon cycle:

Rat - (aka: Sagittarius, mouse, mongoose)
Your lucky stars are under stress and strain. Rest is key to your success. Be watchful of contaminates in the mix. I suggest maintaining a sanctuary space or safety zone to avoid undue trauma and drama of all types.

Ox - (aka: Capricorn, buffalo) - transits: Pluto the Dwarf (fate)

Your lucky stars bring just the right kind of serendipity to all your love and business projects. To harvest this natural phenom remain calm and collected (nary a peep out of you) or you may scare it away. Just do that thing with your cow eyes.


Tiger - (aka: Aquarius) - transits: Neptune God of the Underworld (consciousness) and Jupiter, the Grand Duke (increase) - Note: Jupiter goes forward direct motion on 10/12
Your lucky stars show mixed blessings that will allow you to dip below the surface and "quietly" (ssssssh) pursue a prominent profile in a new venue. You can benefit by all the tiny miracles and synchronicity that flows to you. These are delicate, repeating aspects so go easy, stay steady and keep a lid on it.

Hare - (aka: Pisces, rabbit, cat, fish) - transits: Uranus (chaos)
Your lucky stars patterns are not fortunate in this cycle. Delays and postponements are strongly recommended. You may feel cut off from something but it will pass if you resist acting on that feeling. The upside of this is that brand new tools can be fashioned from persistent old problems. Circumstances are extenuating, stick to the letter of the law!

Dragon - (aka: Aries) - transits: Full Harvest Moon (10/3)
Your lucky stars look like the clashing of the titans. But there is still enough energy beaming and streaming windfalls and fairy dust to grant wishes for this year. Best policy is to not take things for granted (a Dragon's natural trait) and don't stand on principle or you could get knocked down a peg.

Serpent - (aka: Taurus, snake)
Your lucky stars may have you chained to a larger objective right now but it holds you in place long enough for some mighty, wonderful inspiration and love luck. Tiny sparks could start a fire in the passionate side of your super, silky, slinky self. Promotions aid career choices and increase riches on the other end of the spectrum for an exalted boost in your income status. (of course it's complicated)

Horse - (aka: Gemini)
Your lucky stars do not get any better than this! You already passed the test so don't go out on a limb if you know what's good for you. Publicity and honors will follow your footsteps to a new horizon. Bubbly, ideas will be brim over the pot's edge and generous accolades will enrich your sense of selflessness. Love stars sizzle!!!

Goat - (aka: Cancer, sheep, deer) - transits: Mars the war God (energy)
Your lucky stars offer a Cornucopia of love and bounty for your pantry this harvest season but you will be drained and strained by the slightest imbalance. Keep your toes warm, get well rested and stick to your favorite comfort foods to stave off the grouchies that lead to discourse and remorse. Peace, poise, power.

Monkey - (aka: Leo) - Mars the War God (energy) enters on 10/16
Lucky Stars bring growth opportunities that can only be engaged when you order off the menu or take something from the sides. The garden varieties you expected this season will deliver less than you had bargained for. Don't go throwing any rotten tomatoes, spoiling for a fight or you'll appear minor league to the pros you've been courting. Let better days dawn and you'll garner an important leg up.

Bird - (aka: Phoenix, hen, rooster) - transits: Saturn the Taskmaster (time), Venus Our Lady (love & luxe), Mercury (messenger)
Your lucky stars have dealt you aces from a clean deck. Money luck is the harbinger of change you are looking for. Though it may not seem so at the outset suddenly, situations will shift and your cash will flow more freely. Make some reservations and then set the rest aside. Play the game, you have a winning streak. You are truly gifted! Take full advantages of that.



Dog - (aka: Libra, lion) - Sun King (image), Mercury (messenger) arrives 10/19 to retrace it's steps, Venus Our lady (love & luxe) arrives on 10/14, Hunter's New Moon on 10/17
Your lucky Stars are on a Hiatus. Risks should be avoided at all costs. Strengthen your reserves rather than expending them. Cut back on dead wood and stay out of court. You are operating within the zone of good graces. If you can avoid playing politics the help you need will arrive just in time. Otherwise hold back and draw the line.

Pig - (aka: Scorpio, boar)
Your lucky stars have taken a holiday. When pigs are squeezed they squeal and in this cycle you'll be squished on both sides. Don't look down the barrel of the shoot, look up! Heaven will help you. This taunt energy can channel the best ideas into a silky purse from a sows ears. Necessity being the mother, inventions that astound the world pop out of these molds. The set-up is the tricky part. Wear a bullet proof, turtleneck vest and use all your protection devices.

New Bird Moon & Fall Equinox

Have you ever seen the "Tower" card in the Tarot? Often feared beyond all the others it may be my favorite card in the deck.

In the ancient wisdom of the Tarot there is a saying... "when you see a leaning tower push it over, the sooner things fall apart the sooner they come back together."

In my view this sums up our current trend in the planetary influences for this cycle from our new bird moon on (9/18-09) to the full Dragon moon on (10/3-09).

The cards higher value or meaning is that of a stroke of genius, a flash of insight, an act of god or the obvious - complete annihilation.

This season what's been "hanging fire" may need to pass through the furnace to be made whole again. There's a hell's broth in the kitchen boiling over in the celestial scene. Its not the quantity of aspects, it's that intensity levels are set very high.

Being this card is a big mountain shape the most potent message it shares is that "mind over matter" always prevails, it's the law. Move your ego out of the way and voila ~ the problem or concern will dissolve.

Sometimes it takes divine intervention when we don't make changes ourselves or we need to give up what we've got in order to get what we want.

Particle energy must disfigure to reconfigure itself, devolution begets evolution. Ergo change requires a break-down before a break-through. It's a consequence of fulfillment.

This new moon ushers in the harvest season in the northern hemisphere. Plants release their fruits and give back the seeds for future growth. The southern shores below the belt line are now are hosting a spring vibe. Down under life is buzzing and humming.

Here are your Lucky Stars for all the zodiac signs in this moon cycle:

Rat - (aka: Sagittarius, mouse, mongoose)

It may seem for some of you right now you just can't catch a break. Skeletons keep popping out of the closet, chains are being rattled and sabers are crossed. Plus your little lab experiment has gone array. But underlying all this exterior doom and gloom is the interior reality of some well earned personal contentment. It's worth it's weight in gold - so don't discount it. You're out of the woods now, free and clear without the heavy encumbering pressures of the past. You may take liberties where ever you find them. Let fresh insight and an inner sense of wonder win out over the history of darker ages (rats want all the gory details...) and any lingering clouds of doubt will disappear. Prepare for an advance! In 2010 new energetic forces will rally, round moving you into greener pastures of the financial kind.

Ox - (aka: Capricorn, buffalo)
transits: Pluto the Dwarf (fate)

Batten down the hatches you are experiencing your first plutonian surge! Pluto moved into your sign for fifteen years on January 17, 2009. This set the stage for a larger framework of societal variation that has sparked ongoing construction in the bedrock of your personal being. Gale force, life transformations will blow right through you on a stormy sea of change. Plus the creature from the black lagoon keeps following you everywhere, showing up when least expected. Now you must earn the rights to all those claims you've been staking for so long. What was once written in stone has turned to sand, over night. Digging in your stilettos will only put you off balance. Concessions must be made to resolve the differences. Persistent results are simply the reward of habitual choices. Humility is key and grace under pressure is the hallmark of a true hero. Impostors need not apply. Once you get your head around this bend in the road you will see the special powers this long term transit presents to you.

Tiger - (aka: Aquarius)
transits: Neptune God of the Underworld (harmony) and Jupiter the Grand Duke (increase)

Don't let the warped sensation of this mercury retrograde pattern throw you off guard. Just pay the dues and save your soul. People and situations will reverse themselves on their own and the cows will come home. With Neptune as your guiding force you've had your fingers in the whole pie for some time now. Jupiter's visit to your realm has been a god send in so many ways and means. As a benefactor he has put substance and breathed life into your best laid plans. The bigger picture is on display and you are weaving your way through an intricately detailed, tapestry of opportunity. Above all you have the talent to make alterations serve the larger mold. In certain cases you've been willing to take yourself out of the process. There is no need to be a martyr about it - your valor is not in question. Keep your hands busy pulling strings while your toes tap out a rhythm. Take it easy on the little people, after all they are your loyal subjects. You've got money coming!

Hare - (aka: Pisces, fish, cat, rabbit)
transits: Uranus (chaos)

Your hair trigger responses are causing split ends on the object of your desire. There is a lot of static energy going through the line. It's no ones fault, it is an artifact of the existing old infiltration system that was already in place. This harvest season you need to weed out all the superfluous and bring the focus back to the bare bones essentials. Yeah, I know it seemed like for a minute that everyone else around you needed to change. You even went to the trouble of figuring out their moves on the board for them. But the game is over, the gig is up. Turns out perspective is adjustable and can be justified, right, left and center. Tune in on what you can do to be a better version of you then everyone is free to do their own thing. Pure chaos is a sacred form of natural selection, let nature take her course. Ignore the birdbrains who say " this is the last straw" or that "the sky is falling" all the while make good use of both. Set your sites on a new horizon and you'll spin gold with what's right in front of you. You've got my 5 star lucky guarantee!

Dragon - (aka: Aries)
transits: Full Moon (moods) on October 3rd

This is one bad ass moon on the rise, there's a lot of pressure in this cooker. In many respects I am certain it will lead to good things. I caution my dragons to not stake out a "no option" position they feel forced to authorize or act upon in this phase. It will not generate the offspring you want to develop. There is another way around and it will reveal itself on the heels of this energy pile-up. Otherwise what you buy into may not rise to be the loaf of bread you are hoping for. The bird and the dragon are legendary secret friends. They comprise the quintessential couple in a symbolic language that has lasted centuries. Originally it was the Tiger with the Dragon but the bird was thought more subservient. Rest assured this new moon will serve the dragon's needs even when there is hell to pay. The upshot of this transit is beneficial if you bide your time and hold out. Lay out your plans, set your criteria and keep an open mind until all efforts are exhausted and then go one step beyond. In making large purchases follow the logic of buyer's beware. Dragon's can exert their presence in a very definitive manner and in so doing make record breaking, history.

Serpent - (aka: Taurus, snake)

All the clicking and clucking going on in the hen house is producing plenty of golden eggs for you to harvest this season. Time is equal day and night like the yin and yang, black and white design. Each opposite half holding the seed of the other. They balance and compliment one another perfectly. When things are so nicely intertwined you feel in your element. This moment in time allows you the practice needed to get the perfect curve on your pitch and put the right twist on things. The snake sign is part of the mystical triad with the bird and the ox signs. The bird as the Phoenix rises from the ashes of the dead, the ox is the sacred buffalo and the serpent as the wise one is foremost a primal goddess. The Egyptian pharaohs wore cobras as a headdress. Snakes are charmers with big magic. Synchronicity is hard wired right to your doorstep to deliver a steady stream of opportunity. The package may arrive in a guise or mode unfamiliar to you at first glance. Give it a second chance and you will see a complete transformation better then you ever imagined!

Horse - (aka: Gemini)

Running into old buddies and chums seems to be the best medicine for what ails you these days. The spontaneity of it all is the right blend of action adventure in the ever day world without the inconvenience of a preset commitment. You are free to bow out or dive in. Mind you the work load will be lighter but the stakes are higher so there is still no time to spare. Be careful you don't suffer from tunnel vision or perceive problems based on previous experiences = fiction. You have untapped resources seeking an outlet for expression. My best guess is that situations will come knocking and want some sideways assistance. Don't be fooled if this feels like a headache and a hassle. The potential to open another channel for increased income is on the brink of such an event. You will be brought into the fold for the dawning of a new era in your world. Go with it and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Goat - (aka: Cancer, sheep, deer)
transits: Mars the War God (energy)

There's fire in the hole! Save the sky rockets and pyrotechnics for celebrations and revelations. Don't get over heated for small incremental changes and a few set backs. Keep the daily dos on a low simmer. No one can out pace your stamina and you are right to expect much in order to get more. The rule of thumb is that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar but the two combined work well with cucumbers in a salad. Nothing is worth losing your cool. Passion comes at a price, it always pays to be nice. Break down barriers inside your own mind to construct the new inroads to your happiness and well-being on a wider scale. Don't fashion the cart before the horse or you'll be back tracking when everyone else lurches forward. Burn off the excess Martian energy with physical outlets and constructive projects.

Monkey - (aka: Leo)

This is no time for monkey business. Just when you got all your ducks to line up in a row your bit in the show has been sidelined. This has left you holding the bag on so much undone stuff it is tough to make heads or tails of it. Leave it be and it'll sort itself out in due course. Your time is better spent asserting yourself in a niche for your particular brand of craftsmanship. As long as you line up to do what others do you will have stiff competition. As soon as you do what you are good at and keep at it, the field thins and the markets open themselves up. Start by finding what you are adept at doing. It may have gotten lost in the cracks but it is still sitting, right where you left it. Take a good long look at some unexpected fill-in-duties to round out your pursuit of this larger truth. Look before you leap and don't go grasping at straws the bird's got that rigged.

Bird - (aka: Phoenix, rooster)
transits: Sun King (image), Saturn the Taskmaster (time), Venus our Lady (love & luxe), Moon Goddess La Luna (moods), retrograde Mercury (messages)

Cockeyed, loony bird ideas retooled from simple facts and base observations are the kind of fodder that fuels the media. You love to watch the grand spectacle of the parade and will dress up for it. For yourself, you are capable of unloading boatloads of hysteria and bargain basement, idle threats when life does not go according to your plan. But is all the drama really necessary, is it even working? Sometimes for effect, yes - but at the expense of your chief aim it has a higher cost. You've got to reprise your Florence Nightingale role and save the castaways to create a healthier system. The remote control is firmly in your sharp talons and you should be using it. Modesty is the best policy. You'll never win over what you keep thrashing and trashing. Somewhere in between the lines is the resolution you are looking for. Go easy pushing on the buttons or the overburdened systems will short circuit on you. This cycle is harsh but holds the promise of a crowning glory for all it's trouble.

Dog - (aka: Libra, lion)
transits: Mercury the Messenger (messages) (retrograde 9/6 to 9/29), Autumn Equinox 9/22

Circle the wagons... and leave an opening only for back door sentries to resupply forces. What was suppose to be a simple matter has become a major ordeal. Birds of a feather have flocked together instead of heading south for the winter. This has put damper on things from one degree to another. Consequently, work and travel projects are now in jeopardy. Though it may be hard to imagine in this instance a sacrifice is required, something must be atoned. Get out the olive branch and start reaching toward agreements. Seek mediation over engagement. Ask yourself what role have you played in the scheme of things. Who is the villain and who is the victim? Cast yourself in a new light that will serve the desired outcome. Saturn moves in to your sign at the end of October and you won't be free to make the choices you now have. Even if you don't like them take stock and access options. Vet everything to find a resolution through the avenues at hand. Get a taste of your own medicine or symptoms could persist for several years.

Pig - (aka: Scorpio, boar)

Don't be afraid to freshen the whole stage set. Go ahead and shake things up in the middle of others - just remember to make a save after each step. You must feel your way through without the usual markers. Shots have already been fired across the bow and complaints from every quarter are lodged in people's minds. Stay out of the fray, this is not your fight. Keep sending out operational lines in the hope something will find it's way through to the other side. In the midst of the chaos there is a good chance you'll get a lucky shot off at your prime target. An unexpected direct hit will have long, lasting implications. Speak the gospel of the universal order while tinkering with the machine. Big innovations will do the work for you to level off the playing field as soon as you get the gears aligned. This new moon cycle will provide an awareness of something that is indigenous to you. Discoveries are made in the dark. An answer to a call comes in the eleventh hour, be ready for it. Blessing abound!

Full Hare Moon ~ Aloha Friday, Sept. 4th 2009

This flirtatious moon is a marsh mellow bunny. Under no circumstances should it be taken seriously. On the other hand being resourceful you could pull an energizer rabbit out of this hat. To pass go and collect dollars in this cycle... use the dedicated practice at what it is that you already do, then do-it now and don't stop!

Know in spite of any contrary circumstances what really needs to happen can actually be accomplished. Look to what is before you now, the harvest season is upon us. Don't be led astray or fall into the hole. Why bother to run late when the turtle always wins the race!

To set the stage for the coming dog, days of summer I've laid out the Zodiac signs as players on a field like a softball game. With "special rules" of course and in-situ "on-the-clock" instead of set in a diamond.

Rat: on 1st base - (aka: Sagittarius, mongoose, mouse)

A lot of runners get past you when you are busy hankering for the old days... signs here say that Pluto (fate) has long since moved on and no direct connections with the old world can be made. Revision the outcome and get a bead on who is up to bat as your first line of defense. Medium-ship is an uncertain business and ball gazing produces very little truth to tell. Our sports hero the rat will continue to spin legends but his halls are getting a little dusty. Clear the decks and pace yourself. In the coming year grand rapids will stream through new venues based on previously collected data. Do not despair, be prepared! And about that shadow, make friends with it. What was once thought a curse is in fact a blessing in disguise.

Ox: on 2nd base - (aka: Capricorn, buffalo, bull, cow) +cautionary note: Pluto goes direct on 9/11.

Same 'ol, same 'ol, put on the crown, pass the wine and please the masses... yawn. It is getting stuffy to be so full of oneself on a regular basis. BE ADVISED your newly acquired Pluto (fate) power will forthwith be squaring off against Saturn (father time). And not only in your dreams. The stakes will be raised in the every day world too. To resolve this get out of yourself and into greener pastures before the mud you are standing in turns to concrete. The ball will come to you when you focus on it being in your hands and not else where. Team spirit requires a flexible mindset with a firmly planted stance that you can take everywhere. Off the bench, no one sits this game out.

Tiger: on 3rd base - (aka: Aquarius)

Until this moment the chances of someone getting this far-out seemed remote at best. But now despite the long odds the bases are loaded and the deck is stacked. Keep your wits about you, you'll need them. For the remainder of summer the Grand Duke Jupiter (increase) and his unlikely collaborator the planet Neptune (order), our Lord and Guardian of the Underworld are out of orbit. Do you trust your instincts? Well that will depend on how well you can separate yourself from the madness and see through the smokescreen. The heavy hitters are moving backward stealing bases and deliberately creating distractions. Peaceful warrior of the brotherhood, tune in on your senses, steel your nerves, see past the obvious. Train your eye to be on-the-ball for a win/win solution then you will know-it for sure when you see it.

Hare: on home base/catcher - (aka: Pisces, cat, rabbit, fish)

May we? Dare say... do tell! Revelations, revelations, revelations so much so your head may spin out of control! This moody host of our holiday mayhem is the Co-creator Uranus (chaos). He is the one kicking cosmic sand in the dugout. To allow is to teach so get a handle on it. Lock your emotions in a stable position and protect home base. Whatever needs doing, don't wait a minute longer. The trick of this silvery, slip stream on the horizon is to hold off the back sliders to your best advantage and catch what is thrown at you. This Moon Lady is a super, sexy, Summer Love bunny so wear your cotton tail out. Emotions run high and perception is way out there beyond beliefs ever known. To ride the wave - catch the drift, it's got plenty of high-quality entertainment value!

Dragon: the pitcher - (aka: Aries)

Although you don't always see them or hear them "the presence" of the Dragon is felt, even when they seem far off in another world. This deep, penetrating change agent is the leader. His rule is marked by countless, constructive delays and endless detours in the landscape of the mound. There are no mistakes, values have wavered, speculation is rampant and the days are being drug out over and over. Thus far all the big claims about a fast pitch appear to be just a mirage. Do not be wooed or fooled by outward appearance my divine child. For true believers the kingdom is really, real. Just before you release the ball suspend your imagination and send it where you want it to go using your second sight. Oh, by the way... contact management and get a new lease on life before Mercury goes retrograde on 9/7 or this one is sure to be a re-do.

Serpent: is short stop - (aka: Taurus, bull, snake)

Except for the occasional pond fly you've been catching it may feel like you're just hanging out waiting around for something better to show up. While folks remain unrealistically fearful of serpents the serpent in return is wise to remain cool and aloft. Prefer the observational mode over intervention and maintain mostly casual acquaintances is practically a motto. Only a selected few, closely held relations in this climate of change is prudent. Your temperature sensitive skin craves newly scaled fashions, not all those old layers. The ice is thawing and it's melt will tell a different story then the tip suggests. Stay tuned in and dialed up to get the very latest action-packed reports. Your connections may appear as only the threads of a tiny web but they are stronger than any other substance known to man. Take heart in them and keep the channel open.

Horse: in right field - (aka: Gemini)

There's some slack showing over in the right side of the field. Wake-up and stop all the chatter boxing. Calling the shots before the ball is in play is not a good strategy especially if you get caught off guard. Your earning capacity is based on what thoughts you "pay" your attention to. Stay nimble and curious through these transits and flights of fancy. You'll find there is some serious fluffy-headed-ness going around out there. Be alert and watch-it when the least expected, happens. I'd say that responsiveness over reactions is an art you are developing more fully to the benefit of others. Horses tend to fixate on the feedbag schedule while forgetting they have a cart to pull or a ground ball to catch. Not enough glitz, eh? Giddy-up horsey, be ready for it this is your re-minder!

Goat: out in center field - (aka: Cancer, sheep, deer)

The balance of power rests in the strength of ones inner, center core. Though sheep will blindly follow their buddies into quicksand you can't trick a goat. Now ya see'um, now ya don't, goats have eyes in the back of their heads. No other zodiac animal is as temptuous or fun loving. In the height of this summers peak performance their dry humor is a huge success. Even when not every one is "in" on the joke they are charming and decorative to have around. Make sure the little Kids get plenty of potty breaks, naps and snacks to keep the grouchies at bay. The planet Mars (energy) often called the War Czar is setting up camp in this cozy, love spot. Watch out that fevers don't pitch and fly your own true colors. You are this season's hotshot, no doubt about it!

Monkey: in left field - (aka: Leo, Lion, chimp)

No one likes to be out in left field and this is no time or place for false modesty. Do your job, be a good sport about it and you shall be justly rewarded. My lady Venus (love & luxe) rides through the streets clothed only in her golden tresses. Who would get tired of that in this summer heat. All the people agree to look the other way while peeking through the cracks to watch the scene. Then suddenly! Whoosh a ball drops out of the sky and luck has it fall right into your ready mitt. As they say, "fortune favors the brave" and so it goes my friend answer the call and you won't be sorry. Find fault with your position and it is you who lose out. Your everyday choices are being made manifest as-is, in the long run with no short cuts.

Bird: the rover - (aka: Phoenix, Rooster)

You've got to stay on your tippy-tip toes using a full range of motion to win out in this fast moving court of players. Our Sun (image) and a forward Saturn (time) are creating a district of health and human services in another realm. The possibilities are not as strange seeming as the low plausibility factor of all those conceptual notions. Your main position should be to fill in the blanks, not be adding more stuff as you go along. Get the paperwork done and don't peck at every little detail. Nothing is holding you back... but in this coming retro cycle your pigeons -my love, may come home to roost. No need to get your feathers ruffled you can easily smooth out the creases. Don't be afraid to lay it on thick and finish the edges in a rich, vanilla frosting. Being sweet naturally, comes in handy-dandy the way you like it.

Dog: the umpire - (aka: Libra)

You pulled the duty everyone thought no one wanted. The thing is you relish having this much control, you like barking out orders and enjoy calling the shots! Who would have known? Make sure you keep to the letter of the law. There will be lots of garden-variety interference going around. Busy bodies are watching and taking names. Shutter speeds are set on mega watts with stunning effects. This fall the planet Mercury (messenger) goes retrograde (foul ball) from the Dog house backward into the bird's nest. The tiniest paw or toe over the line will cause major league errors. But it is only a summer ball toss so above all be vigilant to the spirit of the game. That is after all the theme of things to come so practice being a good sport ahead of time! Deflect whatever gets in the way of your primary delights and don't be the least bit surprised when everything goes haywire over in Bird ville. Early next month will deliver us a welcome reprieve to better days.


Pig: Batter Up - (aka Scorpio, Boar, eagle)

Batter up! That's right the Boar is up to bat. To some this might seem a mistake with so much riding on the line out there in the field of motion. But this little power-hitter is the secret weapon, the wild card in the mix. A perfect counter balance. Grace under pressure is a standard reflex in your type set with keen perceptions and calculated reaction times. Don't allow anyone to rush you on the outside or disturb concentration levels on the inside. There's a distinctive cracking sound when the ball connects with the bat. Suddenly everything is accelerated in a mad dash around the park. You hear the other team screaming as you zip past every base like a greased pig. On the road to glory you score big and find your way home. Happy endings are made for this kind of drama Rama. Superstars are shinning brightly to guide you!

New Monkey / Bird Moon

This is the AHA moment many of us have been waiting for!

It's underlying magnetic properties can present you with a very tricky situation. The natural artifacts of which are brimming with possibilities opening up the soulful genius in all of us to a big bonanza. It's clever, it's crafty and oh so wily in it's regard for ambition over success.

For those of you who have deliberately set the stage and laid out a framework/platform for large scale adaption this cycle can be quite revealing. Selling itself as it goes along. Use the dynamic of its internal/external flow pattern to reset your "habit of thinking" in the direction you'd like to go. Of course you will need to tweak it - but get it dialed up and tuned in.

This monkey (aka Leo) means business... and though the moon is dark there will be a lingering after glow in effect for quite sometime into the future. Don't even try to put anything past it with out a full sniff test.

The harvest season is pushing us forward taking the procession with it. The mills are ever grinding their march through space and time on the other side of being. What leaves us here shows up on the flip side, well sort of. The poles that govern our drape or drop are based on the pull from the top.

Yeah, something called a "Uni" verse has got us by an invisible string. So forget all that nonsense about ever being alone. I can assure you the universe (unified verse) knows and accounts for every particle of it's being. We are part of that wholeness so get over yourself, completely and immediately. A divided mind goes nowhere fast, over and over again.

Cut back the brambles in your head and treat your ego like a stump that will only get in the way when you let it. They say, "to allow is to teach" and monkey see monkey do. To perceive otherwise is simply an underdeveloped mindset. No one and nothing is putting anything over on you, your shadow belongs to you.

This aspect allows a measure of control to the progressive process. Focus on filtering the systems that channel our greater good to us. Don't absorb wasteful matter, let it pass. We live in an ocean of motion teaming with energetic forms. They all report back to the Mothership.

What on Earth did you things all the bazillions of crazy bugs are for? It's pointless to kill them as they will only send more. They all belong to the Vibratory Alliance of the Universal Order of Things. Be ever mindful in keeping all clouds-of-doubt-about that, at bay.

Walk the beachfront property in the frontal lobe everyday - what is upper most in your conscious mind? Find it and identify with it or cast it aside. Simply put, it is what you are sending out with frequency and currency ($$) that will be justly returned.

Time ebbs and flows, the moon rules the tides... and our moods. Again be aware that it is what you "constantly" send out that will with absolute surety wash back up on your shore.

We may find holes in our gravity and see things get sucked through space in new ways.

This is a dangerous business. Our gravity should not be encouraged to be porous but to solidify in order to manifest substance. Trying to make things disappear - is even denser still and it is only an illusion, everything is everywhere all the time. What goes up comes down, watch your head.

Well maybe I'm giving too much away here... It don't want to spoil the show. Let's see how this shakes out. Things are not always what they seem.

Jockeying for a new position is exactly where we are right now. And I must say I am quite surprised at the potency of this new primate moon. It really snuck-up on me. Values are strong and intrinsic opportunities are a well spring just begging to be tapped.

Tap, tap, tap... we should. Crack that thunder egg wide open. In fact once we align our goals with some genuine conviction we can begin to weed out the suckers. Time snatchers and parasites are all part of space travel, everyone gets them. Freeing yourself is your responsibility and I recommend you do so daily.

Give yourself some liberty to sort out the improbable facts and fiction and discover the lead lines that link directly with your conceived (not perceived) reality.

But you must also build a bridge to the place you truly desire and for that use your Imaging Guidance Senses. Do not let mere whimsy or a passing fancy lure you astray like the smell of warm, baked bread wafting from the kitchen.

Your wish can come true when you get your head around the truth, discarding all other nonsense and disregarding any contrary irrelevance. That takes a lot of practice.

This moon needs you to touch it and feel it, get all in it's mystical moment.

Today (Wednesday) moon transists the monkey and can be playfully, wrapped around us like a snug, cozy blanket. As it changes station and settles into the birds nest (aka rooster, Phoenix Virgo) on Thursday we experience a mini v/c (void of course) moon.

This portion invades our sleep modes displaying such antics in metaphorical trappings as to cause considerable alarm. The misty, morning melancholy will fade when you let it go. Shine out the light, all else is meaningless. Don't feed the demons.

When the moon hits the birds eye view a fresh version of a "hunting and peeking" order evolves anew. Albeit with a rather grandoise vigor instilled through and through. This is one tough bird! Birds bring evolution to fore, are known for being flamboyant and have more innate modesty then the monkey. The chimp of course acts out in full view while throwing his droppings @u.

Keep in mind that the rem setting will be precocious and awakening - not too mention potentially hysterical as it dives bombs into the bird. Once there it will bring a quickening to the outset of our brand new selves. We can be more resilient and infinitely more desirable than anyone we were previous when we choose to be.

Rise up! Get above the fray. Don't ever engage the chaos directly, it will splatter all over you. Stay firmly centered in the calm, constant presence of knowing.

Shed that skin, peel off the cocoon and take flight.

Knowing the Monkey likes to be "on" stage expect things to get way over the top before they even begin to roll back down on the other side of a peak performance. Try not to take it all too seriously, though.

The underlying basis will sustain further growth and the emergence of the early off shoots almost always seems to garner the most fanfare.

It's showtime! Be prepared with your stuff, know what you "can do" or you won't be ready when called upon. Everyone gets a chance at the wheel, everyday is a new day.
