SATURN IN SCORPIO/MARS IN SAGITTARIUS

Beloveds there are two major cosmic events this weekend. On Saturday, Saturn, planet of disciipline and tests moves into Scorpio from Oct. 5, 2012 to Dec. 23, 2014, and Mars moves into Sagittarius on October
7th, until Nov. 17, 2012. 

SATURN IN SCORPIO

Saturn moves into Scorpio and the fixed signs, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius will be feeling the energy, probably more personally.  It would seem that the fixed signs are more determined now to achieve their goals, are setting new goals and resetting their intention to live their best lives.  There is a need for expecially fixed signs to reset their self esteem and to consciously believe in themselves, their abilities their talents.  The energy of Saturn can help you be more determined to shift from something good to something better.  You'll find that the power to elminate distractions and to focus on what's in front of you, is much stronger.  Basically, Saturn in Scorpio gives emotional intensity and regardless of your sign, you'll be influenced by this increase of energy. Your interest in occult (or hidden) matters may also increase.  The people on the planet who lust for power may become more apparent to all of us.  There will be more groups or teachers focused on raising the sexual energy, more interest in the chakras in the physical body, and more interest in the power to heal.  More information coming from healers on how to make the body healthier and whole.  We think of Saturn as a celestial teacher, and angel of Light that is gently guiding us to use our own power.  Secrets will be revealed, some of them recent and some of them from long ago.  Saturn in Scorpio will inspire us to use our spiritual gifts in our everyday lives. 

MARS IN SAGITTARIUS

Mars the planet of outgoing energy will move into Sagittarius on October 7, until November 17, 2012.  Sagittarius is the sign that lets it all go, that sometimes doesn't know when to quit, and it's also the "tell the truth and shame the devil" sign.  We're all going to have to practice patience with people who do not share our point of view, and to watch our words when judging other people...in fact to be in a state of non judgement is a good thing when Mars is in Sagittarius.  Mars in Sagittarius could bring up the "grass is greener" aspect in all of us.  Trying not to compare ourselves with others and living in the now moment is important while Mars is in Sagittarius.  Be here now.  Embrace the present moment and give thanks for all the good things in our lives right now.  Keeping a gratitude journal is a good way to remind yourself of the little things that are blessings in our life.  Bless the air you breathe, the water you drink, the food you eat.  Being in an attitude of gratitude is the best way to capture the positive energy from Mars in Sagittarius.  The planets are always in a constant state of motion and everything is changing.  Embrace change and welcome the opportunity to live your best life, as you go from something good to something better.  Be happy, be courageous and give without thought of return.  What you give freely and unconditionally, will always come back to you.  Give love, give joy, be the blessing in someone else's life and you will be blessed.  

FULL MOON IN ARIES, SAT. SEPTEMBER 29

The Full Moon in Aries, happens on Saturday, September 29, 2012, but most sensitive people will be feeling the effects days before it happens.  This Full Moon will be especially intense as it interacts with the Pluto/Uranus square that has been happening all month.  We think the trouble in the middle east, riots, flag burnings, killings, was the result of the Pluto/Uranus square and I don't see how it could get any worse, but the Full Moon does increase whatever was going on at the time.  On the personal level it's important to move through this week with a calm state of mind, to pray meditate before leaving the house, and to stay tuned into the inner voice of wisdom before making decisions.  You might want to decrease television watching and focus on peace, to create an inner peace.  And in your personal relationships try to let go of the need to be right when interacting with someone whom you disagree with.  The best way to stop a potential argument is by by asking yourself, "do I desire peace or conflict" before opening your mouth. Ego challenges always come when we need to be right in every situation.  Even if you are right and the other person is dead wrong, this is not the time to challenge him or her.  Try to stay away from hot button conversations about religion or politics.  In the end the Truth will be revealed and saying things that are hurtful to others will not change the  Truth.  Decide to be peaceful in every situation and you might find that you become the peacemaker between others who are having ego attacks (smile).  Someone once said that we're never angry for the reason we think.  There's always something else going on in the background of a loud argument.  And usually it's something that happened a long time ago that injured the persons self esteem that makes them angry when you disagree with them. 

WHO WILL BE AFFECTED BY THIS FULL MOON?



People who have planets in Aries, Cancer, Libra, and  Capricorn will be especially sensitive during the Full Moon in Aries.  These are the Cardinal signs, the action signs that bring in the seasons, i.e. Aries is Spring, Cancer is Summer, Capricorn is Winter.   If you were born under any of these signs or have planets in these signs, don't let the turkeys bring you down.  In other words move through this week with a smile on your face and love in your heart.  This is the time to use the energies in positive ways and to bypass the temptation to do or say something that you have to apologize for later.  Astrologers have been looking at this Full Moon in Aries for months.  We could make dire predictions on the outcome, but for me, I've decided to flow through this time, knowing that my actions will predict the outcome.  No matter what, seek peace and love in your everyday comings and goings.  And I will be doing the same.  Together we can be the peace that passeth understanding.  This too shall pass, it always does, it always will.  Have a blessed week.

NEW MOON IN VIRGO - SEPT. 15, 2012

The New Moon will be in Virgo, Saturday September 15, 2012.  Virgo is the analytical sign, ruled by Mercury with earth as the element.  Virgo is also the ultimate health sign, concerned with diet and nutrition. It also rules the intestines in the physical body.  When the Moon is New in Virgo, it's a good time to clean up the clutter on your desk and in your head.  On the spiritual level Virgo is the sign of service and people born under this sign are usually the ones who are willing to do the small things that help others to live a better life. Virgo people are often concerned with details and can easily see the flaws in others.  They can also be very critical of themselves and others as perfection is important to them.  What they need to know is that nobody is perfect, we all make mistakes and if we're spiritually conscious, we'll learn from our mistakes.  We're all unique individuals who came to this earth school to learn our lessons.  Virgo people sometimes develop the habit of worrying and once they conquer this habit they are able to live their best lives. We were taught that worry is a useless attitude that keeps us focused on what we don't want.  Rev. Michael Beckwith says that when we worry, we're rehearsing the worst case scenario.  Worry seems to be in a loop so much of what we worry about today, we worry about tomorrow.  People who worry are often fearful and living in the future.  So we say "be here now" keep the your thinking in the present moment which is all there is.  One thing I've discovered about people who are habitual worriers is their underlying need to control circumstances, that haven't happened yet.  Here's how I'm going to use the New Moon in Virgo energy:

1. Clean out the fridge and the rest of the house.
2. Pay attention to my consistent thoughts. and weed out the negative ones.
3. Deliberately keep my thinking in the present moment.
4. Speak words of encouragement and love to others.
5. Catch up on phone calls and emails.
6. Do a healing meditation for myself and people on my healing list.
7. Eat a nutritious meal with plenty of leafy greens.
8. Take a 30 minute walk in my community.
9. Feed the feral cats, squirrels, deer and birds.
And if I don't get to all of the things on my "to do" list, not going to worry about it because tomorrow is another day (smile).
