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!
