FULL MOON IN PISCES - SEPTEMBER 19, 2013

The Sun and Moon are 180 degrees away from each other, thus we have a Full Moon. Since the Sun is in Virgo, the Moon is in Pisces, the sign that says "I Believe".  I moved in August, from a big space to a small space, and near the end of the move I released so many things that my head was spinning.  As my helpers held up things "do you want to keep this" my quick response was "throw it out!".  Can't believe how much stuff I accumulated in 11 years.  Now, believe it or not, I feel clearer and free because I only kept the things that were necessary.  If you're tuned in from an astrological perspective, you might have guessed...I'm in the midst of a Saturn square. Saturn in Scorpio is squaring my 3 planets in Leo, while making an opposition (180 degrees) to my 3 planets in Taurus.  The Full Moon in Pisces has me dreaming about being on a cruise, somewhere in the Carribbean Sea, sitting on the balcony watching the beautiful night skies.  But the passing Sun and Mercury in Virgo, brings me back to reality. It's time to get up, shower and dress, then wake my 5 year old great granddaughter so she can get ready for kindergarten.  

It's cold up here in the mountains and the reality that winter is quickly approaching has tempered my mood.  Winter! Yuck!! Did I remember to take my snow shovels out of the old storage space?  The maintenance people are putting out the salt cans and the Sun's shadows are getting longer and longer.  

FULL MOON MADNESS

i'm assuming you all heard about the brother who "lost it" and killed lots of people in Washington DC.  Don't know the details but figure this poor soul got caught up in Full Moon madness and obviously his victims did too.  I did look up his birthdate (smile) and was not surprised to see that he was a Taurus.  I'm thinking that whatever it was that set him off, it took a long time for him to explode.  My neighbor commented "You know he was crazy".  Well isn't anyone who kills multiple people a little off balanced?

I mean, ordinary people just quit, walk away, tell somebody off. They don't go and buy a gun and just start killing folks.  It takes a long time for Taurus people to get angry, but when they do...look out!  The Full Moon has a tendency to bring things to a head and many times it's stuff that has been festering inside for a while.  I'm so sorry for the victims and their loved ones and also sorry for the young man who decided it's better to die than to keep on living with the problems he was facing. 

LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

The Full Moon as it appears in the night skies is a very bright and beautiful Light.  We are advised by many healers and metaphysicians to focus on solutions (Light) as opposed to focusing on the problems.  Basically because what we focus on expands and grows in our consciousness.  Today, I'm going to use the powerful emotional energy coming from the Full Moon to focus on solutions.  Not going to get stuck in blaming anyone or anything for the problem.  Which means I'm not going to allow my ego to be right while making someone else wrong.  Pisces says "I Believe" and I believe there is an answer deep down inside of me that will come to the surface once I quiet my rational mind, center, relax and breathe  deeply.  I've been enjoying the 21 day Mantra Meditations online. We're in day 10 today.  Don't fully understand the Sanskrit language (even though I've studied it years ago), but the tones and sounds are soothing to my soul.  You don't have to do mantras or chant, just listen to some upbeat music that relaxes you while the Full Moon is doing her thing.

In the Native American traditions, the Full Moon is referred to as "Grandma".  She's that loving, caring soul who takes care of everyone.  Also going to pay homage to my own grandma, who raised me and taught me to do my best with whatever's in front of me...thank you grandma Lucy.  There is Light at the end of the tunnel, so tune into it, enjoy it and give thanks for it.  I love you all, Ayesha (grandma)
