Capricorn Lunar Cycle Planet-Saturn How interesting this calendar year comes to a close with the same sign, Capricorn. As I looked back over these last 12 lunar cycles, I realized that it was Capricorn that was our initial lunar cycle back in January. We are sooooo special that the universe provided us with a chance to see things in a Saturnian way twice, in this year!! Wow...is all I can say. So yes, we can take this opportunity to traditionally look at this closing of the 2008 calendar or we can choose this as a midpoint, a station break, an assessment point. Capricorn in all of its glory is a Saturn ruled planet, so somewhere at the base of all of this is simply, LESSONS. Yes, as if we need more of those. But, here is a take on that. We are so astute, so revered, so gifted that our learning curve, spiritually, has jumped up a notch on us. As we flow with the growing new moon, see each detour, each rewrite, each do-over as the infinite love of the universe pouring itself into ...

We are in this the waning of the moon. Do you feel it? I hope you do. The power of the waning moon rests in its ability to remove things from our lives we are willing to let go. I know, I have said this before, but I am here to tell you, I must constantly reiterate these things to myself. And while we are letting go of things we don't want, we're making room for things we do want. Our waning phase this time is in Virgo, which is ruled by that ever playful, ever talking, ever bringing the balance: Mercury. While Virgo gifts us with organization, purpose and friendship, Mercury sprinkles onto our paths things like self knowledge in the trickiest of ways, an increase in our mental acuity, and a heightened Solar Plexus (our intuition). So know that tasks are coming our way, but be alert it will come in the funniest of ways. Just go with the flow and join in the laughter, its okay because at the end of it all there is evolution. My own journeying this waning cycle is pyschic ...

This entry is overdue on one calendar and right on time for another. As I walked yesterday and looked up at the crisp branches, without a leaf on them, I was reminded once again that bareness brings about amazing new growth. Let me say that again, bareness brings about amazing new growth. Alright, let’s put some perspective on that. In this the last few weeks of Autumn and as we approach the Winter Solstice, how appropriate that we ourselves have become those trees, stripped of many things that we just knew were true about ourselves. And, how this rawness makes us ready for a completely new self. In essence, as the Winter season brings back the light to the world, which is what the solstice represents, then we too should also focus on standing tall in what seems like darkness, accept all that we know of ourselves, then prepare for real changes in the coming weeks. And this is brought to us by the planetary giant, Jupiter, which rules fair Sagittarius. Sagittarius is a a time of...
