Solar Eclipse/New Moon

    I suppose that it's a matter of just how hot the water or creativity or passions around us gets, as to how

this major eclipse will effect all of us and of course, just how much in control we are of ourselves and our

environments. It is still a "gamblers aspect" so it is still 50-50 for any and all things, but particularly related

to the business of groups, intimate or otherwise, partnerships, where creativity, passion and major original

inspirations can thrive. We can change our world one head, one world, at a time. What I am saying is that

it is time to do something different, especially if, like most of us the old standard, status quota has not been

working for you, no matter how hard you tried to rectify the situation. Check out your options, believe me

there are many, we are by no means as trapped as we would be led to believe. If you have tried in every

way to understand, fix, reconcile, and, or come to terms with some situation, perhaps, it is time to quite

simply throw in the towel and walk away. Ultimatums won't work, for you have tried them before, only

positive action in another direction will. The only real thing to make sure of is that you are not jumping out

of the frying pan and into the fire by going in a new direction that is exactly like the one you are leaving, for

if you do this it will be worse for you and you might as well stay right where you are until you have well and

fully learned the lessons in humility being provided for you. If you have had enough, take some time and

cool off if you need to but do not wait too long to act upon your visions, twenty-four hours is more than 

enough time to re-evaluate any situation and come up with a practical decision. Do not second guess your

self on this or the other parties involved either, know your market and your strategy, then move on it, take

a calculated risk using your vision, your knowledge to get what you need, and move on if you must. Don't

look back, you have negotiated and talked the subject to death and you have grown and changed. Have

they done anything any different that would inspire any type of loyalty within you? It is time to force the

hand of fate.Stop trying to "fix" everyone else"s "leaks" and concentrate for once on your own, for you

are drowning here even if you can't "see" it. Ask yourself: What are my priorities and responsibilities here?

List them in the order of their importance and then fix these things first. If you have any energy, time, or

resources to share after you have done this, be very aware of who you are giving them to and why. The

why of the matter is the key. Are you actually helping them to help themselves or are you just giving them

another "band aid" until the next "mark" comes along. Be very honest with yourself about this, no one stays

a victim, if they are indeed one, and they have their own lessons to learn. Who are you to deny them this 

experience? It is, after all, why we are here. Get rid of the guilt, this drags you down, concentrate on your

own issues instead. It is important to give back to be sure, but you must stop thinking that you are the "breast" of the world. That is called co-dependency and you did not come here to be a martyr. Did you?

Don't undersell yourself by listening to people who tell you things "for your own good" really? What are

their credentials in this field and better still what is it that they want from you? You are the Master of your

own destiny, prove it by doing it and living it. Do not compare notes with anyone on this, they are not you.

Establish your priorities in the order of your needs and take the steps to make your dreams a reality. Allow

others the space to realize and make manifest their own if they can. A generous heart does not mean that

you make yourself into a "free for all patsy" honor your own needs first, and then what you do will grow 

flowers, trees, works of art, dreams come true and ultimately joy. Blessed Be.

Happy Full Moon! Perfect time to do this blog as it shows exactly how you are beating yourself up with indecision, remember there is always other alternatives to anything, what really matters is what you are really trying to create or do and the relative question is; What choice will take you closer to realizing your specific goals and creative aspirations? With Neptune the planet of illusion singing her sirens song (and I am positive this is a female) and all those beautiful fun filled dreams and messages, how does one have the time to make decisions much less carry through on them? The mistake is in just allowing things to happen to us instead of making concrete decisions, this is when we become the victim. If you have ever made a pot of stew or enjoyed one, then you know how important it is to not only collect all of the ingredients and put them together in the pot with some water or broth, but it is equally important what you season them with and the time that you allow them to simply simmer on the stove and then cool and settle a bit to be at their very best, it is also important how they are served or presented and what they are brought together with as well as whom. It is a natural fact that all things are not compatible and as individuals we all have different tastes and ideas of what goes with what and when this should be happening, so no decision is a decision, and what that decision is can and usually does tie your hands on further negotiations or activities as well as make you a very real "back seat driver" which of course in real life no one appreciates or will tolerate for any length of time.
That said, there are some very specific energies at work here that with just a little effort from you, can bring in creative change in all of the areas of your life, giving you more control over these situations and gaining the respect of your peers as well as any authority figures involved. Through working to rebuild, reorganize, and restructure certain areas in sync with other members of the group or organization, (it is better to work within a group structure toward common goals than it is to work alone) you will establish good relationships as well as accomplish so much more than you ever thought possible and as you do this you will heal in many ways the different levels of discontent and malaise that has been plaguing you for the past few months becoming more vibrant as you move in a completely different direction. This will not happen without your conscious and objective focused participation, attention to detail is one of your strong points at this time as you see the big picture very well, these next two weeks are very important and this energy will not come again so I would suggest that you utilize it well to achieve the goals that you have only dreamed of.This is a culmination point building up to the New Moon. The opportunities are there but only if you "take the bull by the horns" and go with it. While care in spending is advised, it is a very good time for selling an idea or getting a loan. Your energies are favorable for working with others toward a common goal especially on projects where negotiations are required for this is your strong point and it is a gamblers aspect as long as you are in it for the good of all concerned you will most probably get what ever you ask for. On a strictly personal level you need new ideas, plans, and activities in order to revive old relationships or magnetize new ones as the natural impulse is to break free of all restraints and find something or someone new rather than work through the situation. Have some thought about this and make sure that this is really what needs to happen and not just your own inner compulsion to be free at all costs, only to wake up later totally alone and lost. You are here to experience the world, not avoid or escape it. Your sensitivity is at an all time high as is your imagination, enhanced as it is by the planets inter-play you can and do feel a little overwhelmed and actually feel like screaming, "What do you want from me!"  It could be a good time to deal with some of those long term issues from the past by seeking some psychological therapy from someone you trust allowing yourself to let go of the past and move on with confidence into the future. Try something new and have some fun open up to the possibilities, anything can and probably will happen and as long as you allow yourself to be flexible to new growth and experiences it should be all right. Change is inevitable and it is better to embrace it and move into the flow of your life that is in the now, than it is to try and escape it.

 How much control do you have over your self, really? If you see people backing up against the wall or avoiding any kind of confrontation or even contact with you, you might take this as a definite clue that your attitude needs a reality check. Your lesson of the moment is one of detachment so that you can actually "see" where you are going with these situations, both long and short term, and also so that you can take a few deep breathes before you launch another annihilation rocket and destroy all that you love and hold dear. Perhaps taking a timeout to think it out, before you "duke" it out, and being a bit more diplomatic and reasonable in your approach as well as your verbal attack mechanisms could keep the situation a bit more in your favor? It is said that children fight until they learn respect and through this negotiation, reason, and basically the ability to talk it out and reach an agreeable compromise, (note that I did not say "shout it out" that technique really only works in laundry detergents and generally not very well even there) Since you are reading this, I must assume that you are an adult, I know that you are having some real issues in almost all of the important areas of your life and change is inevitable no matter how you decide to try and ward it off or ignore the reality of this fact, you must understand that as individuals we have very little real control and that control is usually limited to our own personal decisions about "numero uno" and that the rest of the world will almost always rebel if you try too many times to rule or control it and then you wake up one day all alone, again. Since there is only one common denominator here, perhaps it is time to look in the mirror instead of outside and consider what your track record is personally, abuse in any form is intolerable behavior, long term it is totally unacceptable. Mental, verbal, soul crushing. Spiritual, this takes away all of the spontaneity and all of the fun in any relationship, it also violates all of the trust and that is a real part of sharing and creating anything. Emotional, this is also a matter of trust and how can you trust someone with the way you feel when at any given time they can and will use this knowledge against you to manipulate or threaten your security, this shatters any kind of relationship when compromised. Physical, I will not go into the many ways that this can happen as it is documented in all ways, I will just suffice it to say that just the threat of physical violence violates every single one of the other three that are listed before. Sometimes it is a matter of simply learning or relearning how to love oneself that is the problem and not what anyone else is or isn't doing. Think about this for a moment and see where you are on your security scale when it comes to really loving and respecting you. You need to allow people the space that they need to grow and understand that sometimes when you offer to "help" someone with their burdens that just maybe you have hidden (even from you) agendas or ulterior motives and that they know this and resent it and yes, even if they accept your help, because quite frankly they may not have any other option and of course it is both of your lessons to learn theirs is how to stand on their own two feet and learn how to say no, clearly and consciously and you so that you can learn how to detach and stand on your two feet as well. You see it is a two way street and both of you are in an area of slavery if you do not get this lesson. So help each other and then let go and get a new hobby or something. You may also need to find new challenges as far as the work sector is concerned as you may be bored with the constant mediocrity of your routine needing to learn new methods or perhaps a completely different job as this one may be more of an obligation than anything else, at any rate the amount of stress that is happening to the body/mind chemistry is not worth it and can lead to an over all physical/mental break down with complications like heart/lung/kidney/nervous disorders, operation or attacks. Do yourself a favor and consciously change your life in order to take better care of yourself or you will most likely be forced to do so simply because your body will make you by shutting down from the basic oppression. Get some exercise, dance, sing, go for a walk and interact with some different and positive people who have some real ideas and are moving and shaking the world, after all it may just all be due to the frustration of boredom and disenchantment and this can come from being disappointed in others so please stop that now and make a new rule that is not negotiable: I will always be true to my own happy. Blessed Be.
