Sagittarius Full Moon-Gemini New Moon Synopsis
I catch a glimpse of a reflection, it startles me. Who is this stranger that stands before me? She stares back at me, balefully, unafraid, accepting of the inevitability, that I would one day, "see." I examine her while she patiently waits, silently as if there is no where else that she would rather be. She does not try to make small talk or apology, for her presence in the mirror, a reflection, I once recognized as me. She smiles simply at me, then she lowers her eyes, and I go away, for eternity.
Every culture falls victim to the machine, no one is exempt from the illusion, the ultimate addiction and manipulation of the dream. Yes, it is our dream personified, projected, and modified, becoming a compulsive thing. We hold onto the fringes, flying with the motion, we know that we are out of control, but we cannot keep ourselves from hoping, that it will all work out in the end.
Nothing "just" happens, my friend. It is all a chain reaction of the choices we have made. The players and the corporations are still laughing at our insistence of focusing on the ultimate redemption, the light at the end of things. They find us to be naive, as they laugh up their sleeves, because of the density, it is all that they know.
All things in nature move within a flow, you can't fool Mother Nature, she is a real and honest pro. Quick fixes do not stand the test of time, and they are not meant to, they are projections, and are based on the research of cause and effect, they have an expiration date, and as fast as they have came into being, they are also erased.
Long shots, the quick buck, letting it ride with Lady Luck, all of these methods are vile and corrupt, so "they"say. Faith is consistence, Joy is complete, Love happens when these factors converge and meet. The true power to create, manifest destiny will not wait. Patience wins every time. Infinite is within every single dream. Some say that they do not know what this means. They want a blueprint, some kind of guarantee. Why should "they" invest their precious time, on empty promises. I say, "Why Indeed." For anyone to think this way, much less express it means that "they" themselves are, "EMPTY."
A dream comes from a fully passionate soul, expressed fully, with measured control, its main ingredients are
thoughtful, focused expression, continuous action toward it's ultimate destination. Soulful consideration, on the heartfelt, expression of the brain child, creation's fulfillment, and manifestation, physically being brought into the world.
The birth of a dream is a flow, yes, but there is always a focused goal. It does not "just happen" that is a myth. We are equipped naturally to just simply be, and we are given specifically, tools that are especially
designed to do this: A mind. A dream, (as many as you have, you can do) a feeling Soul, and a Spirit to guide us in what and how to do it and when. A Physical body to create all of this with and in.
When one part is negligent the entire process is stuck, and it begins to back up, stop up, and cave in. We are complete in and of ourselves for what we came here to do. We are generators of energy, and it is specific in it's nature. NO ONE ELSE CAN DO OUR JOB FOR US. The catch here is that we have to participate actively or it does not happen.
What are you waiting for? This is your sign. Your time is your own and you alone, decide how you will use it or abuse it. Start now, if you have not already. Today is the day.
If you are driving in a vehicle and you pay attention to what you are doing and where you are going to the best of your ability, focused and controlled on one objective, instead of worrying whether everyone else is doing what they are supposed to do or not, the chances are that they will handle it without you. So will the world around you. The body vehicle is no different. "Be, and let be." What a concept.

Scorpio Full Moon Opposite Taurus Sun
"Do you love yourself enough to give yourself what would make you happy? Can you trust that your happiness will not take away from another's good, but will only add to the sum total of joy in the universe?
Asking yourself what you want is not selfish; it is your responsibility. The more you honor yourself with beauty, play, and joy, the greater will be your capacity to love and serve others." - Alan Cohen -
There are no accidents, only occurances that are orchestrated to wake you up to the possibilities.
I know every single little thing about you, oh, yes, I do. All of your hopes, desires, wishes, dreams, and
your visions too.
Every little, tiny, secret that is within you, that surrounds you, and fuels you to be the very best that you
can possibly be, and that sometimes fools and dominates you through and through.
You cannot hide anything from me, for I am that which is within you. The treasure, the jewel, the golden,
glowing, effervescence of the magical, elfin, wooded creature, whose mesmerizing reflection looks back at
you, from the depths of the mirror of your mind, and this I find to be priceless and so very refined, before
and after any kind of man made, artificial daze of time. I adore that in you, for it is mine.
As the Sun shines it's holy light upon my chambers, opening up all of your hidden things for me to reach and see, you will find that you are suddenly feeling so very light, buoyantly, free, able to make decisions, and to
let go of anything or anyone that is no longer a part of your world vision, opening up to simply be, exactly
who and what you are supposed to be, without regret or apology. None needed.
You must ask yourself what it is that you seek in this magickal world that has been made for me. You must
do this with your eyes and heart wide open, arms and legs akimbo, head thrown back, standing in limbo, then you will understand that it is all that you already are, all you need do is blossom.
Go with the tides, bearing the fruits of your visions, following your dreams to their full fruition. Do not allow
yourself to get tangled up, distracted, and lost, in the mindless mazes losing all sense of time or phases. This is the domain of the Trickster's medicine, drawn by you, created by you, so that you seemingly have a valid excuse to; "fall off the path, get lost in the sauce, roll in your misery" as you are half mad with what you call passion and is merely compulsive, obsessive, addictive, and irrational, abstractions.
Instead take the actions that bring you joyful real passion that is lasting, straight from your heart, fueling your
creations by magnetically drawing together every single thing, person, place, natural objects, needed in order to build the dream. The only difference in the process is that you are expressing your truth and not someone else's carcuture of who and what they think or say or indicate that you should or could be. When you can do this completely and flow in the moment you are within the luninescance that is the realm of the Goddess.

The Fool #1 Major Arcana
He isn't any more interested in "knowing" me than he was back then, and realistically, neither am I in him.
He's still looking for somebody to worship at his shrine, and "it ain't me babe" I haven't got the time. Just because you asked me to, I did drop the dime, asked him how he's doing, and he said he was fine. All the rest is a pantomime.
Nothing clear or well defined, leave us to our memories, it is that kind of time. We can never go back. I don't know why you're trying to, it was not glory days for me and you, all we were doing was playing the fool., and to tell you the truth now, we broke every single rule.
I'm not reminiscent or thinking of glory "daze" all of that time has somehow slipped away, when I think back now, I only remember the good ones and that's a blessing, I assure you. Let it go now, move forward, don't remember the bad times, keep the goods ones, and always remember that you are the tender that turned into a blaze. Warm yourself in that fire, and know that it's real love that created you in every single way.
The past is the past, and onward we go, spreading seeds and growing a forest of trees behind us that turn into memories. We don't know the forest or remember the deeds, no one is left there to tend to the flowers or pull up the weeds, but when there is a problem, unfortunately, somebody bleeds. I wonder why that is.
Could you tell me please?
Let yourself slip away to a lovelier day, and create your own future, "have it your way." When we create a recipe there are certain qualities, ingredients, that go together to create the perfect combination. It can never be repeated, not exactly, although, there can be copies made of it using similar circumstances. It is never the same, so we give it a name, and it is independent, to grow and expand, the way it was intended.
We are the co-creators and when the ingredients are blended, our time together is ended, although, there may be others that keep the contact extended.
A flower does not blossom forever, and it was not made to do so. It does not try to hold onto its petals as it is growing old, it loves it's life and experiences it completely, neither holding onto the past or looking to the future. It lives in the moment, and it shines. It is loved and it feels love as it is created. This is to be celebrated. All of the should of, would of, could of been, never happened. Accept this, and stop talking about them. They will only bring you down. What is, is. Accept it, embrace it, live it, love it, and let go of what never was. "You cannot change the past, there is no future in it."
Your choices are how you think, act, and feel, they are the material upon which you build. Fill yours with love, hope, joy, faith, laughter, and infinitely, you will come to know the Masterpiece that is who and what you are. You are the star, an entire world, how you inhabit that space is up to you. Do only the things you love to do. I love you. "If your heart is in your dreams there is no request too extreme."

Little Red Riding Hood: This Lunar Eclipse happening at exactly 8:00am tom...: This Lunar Eclipse happening at exactly 8:00am tomorrow morning at 14' Libra is the culmination of the one we had last October at 14'...
This Lunar Eclipse happening at exactly 8:00am tomorrow morning at 14' Libra is the culmination of the one we had last October at 14' Aries, it is a call that demands our focused attention to whatever it happens to be that we are personally trying to create. How do you find out what that is if you don't know?
Eclipses demand your focused attention and you will know it right away if you are not paying attention due to the irritation of those around you, the accidents you have, it is no coincidence that things keep happening to you now, they have been building for at least six months and we have ignored them. Its really kind of funny when you think about it, "If you don't mind it don't matter" is the theme here and there have been countless books written on the subject of projecting, controlling, and utilizing the amazingly unexplored hallways of the mind. People like Norman Vincent Peal and his "Powers of Positive Thinking" book, Napoleon Hill's book, "Think and Grow Rich" and the workbook, Scott Cunningham's series of books and let us not forget Star hawk and the Spiral Dance or Z Budapest and Grandmother Moon as examples, these books along with countless others have opened up the minds of billions of people the world over, which is pretty impressive as most people were not even allowed to consider these thought processes as an option, much less read about them, until 1954 when Gerald Gardener came out of the "broom closet" and wrote his first confessional. Bless them all for being real Avatar's and torch bearers, without them where would we be? At any rate, with all of that opportunity, I wonder how many have actually put to use their theories on a day to day living scale? They have given us the virtual "keys to the kingdom" the golden rules of the cave that holds the gifts of having it all. Perhaps, we do not understand the procedure or have a listing of the rules to follow step by step. Let us take a little walk and see if we can discover what exactly these rules are and how to put them to work in our daily lives.Timing is everything, so try not to react impulsively, if you can step back for a few moments and take a deep breath and really look and think about what is happening around you and "see" where the culmination point is headed in as many directions as there are opportunities, and then decide upon what directive your are the most interested in following or just decide to let it ride if you are happy with the wave you are riding, that's o.k. too, sometimes to decide to do nothing is a great decision. We are transmitters and receivers of energy and as many of you know from experience, what we put out there is exactly what we receive back on all levels. When we are passionate about something our energy level sky rockets and this causes it to be more focused and powerful. It is in fact, demanding of the natural elements exactly what it is that we want or need the most. I know that you have personally experienced this phenomenon in your own lives perhaps, without even recognizing it as anything except luck. An example would be that you had been decorating you house or you had moved and were in need of a particular set of lamps for your bedroom, in your minds eye you imaged exactly the sort of lamp you wanted to go with your particular decor, this being true even if you did not have the exact picture of them in your mind, you had a limited amount of money to spend on them, so one day you go out shopping, determined to find these lamps even if you have to go to a hundred stores in order to find them, you are determined to have what you want. You get in your car and drive to the stop sign, turn left, turn right, pull into the parking lot of a store, go into the store, walk straight down the aisle and go to the department that you are looking for without even asking and there standing on two end tables are your beautiful lamps, you recognize them immediately, of course, you smile and without even looking at the price tag you know that it is for exactly them amount that you have in your pocket to spend on them. Now that you have this example in mind, I know that you have remembered a time when something just like this happened to you. Do you remember how you felt? It was empowering wasn't it. What if I were to tell you that you can do this every day? You can. It is all a state of mind. This series of eclipses and planetary aspects are set up to force us to realize our full potential, not as a trial and error sort of thing but as a true and lasting gift. It is all in how we receive it or deny it. We are here to learn and grow, expand and prosper. Yes, there are tests. How are we doing on those? Are we accepting of our part in the show that is going on around us or are we refusing to accept our roles in the continuing "days of our lives?"
Our pleasure/misery level will show us the answer to that question immediately. What does yours read? Do you want to change the outcome? Then change your direction by accepting your part and playing it to the hilt. You are the center of your world and everything revolves around you, without you your life does not exist. Does that tell you just how important what you do, what you feel, what you create, and what you think is? It is everything. Don't get discouraged if you don't feel like going out and conquering the world it is not necessary to do this unless you really want to, what is important is how you feel about your world personally and that you be happy in it. What's the rush? What are you running to or from? What ghosts chase you that keep the whites of your eyes rolled back in fear and the cold sweat dripping down between your shoulder blades? Sometimes just looking in the mirror is a revelation. Reflection just might reveal that you yourself are the "Headless Horseman" of your own nightmares and that you are running circles around your own feet. I have always thought of fear as meaning; "Failure to engage available resources." My own definition as I have observed a lot of people who run circles around their dreams and literally waste their entire lives in the service of someone else while fully believing that for what ever reason the person they serve is more deserving than they are. We fear success more than we ever do failure for the simple reason that it takes commitment to succeed and along with that focus goes it's family members; Responsibility, accountability, attention to details, and oh, yes, that little cousin called determination and its sister reliability, all under a blanket coverage called work it. Basically, what I am saying is that a dream is just the beginning of any plan and raw talent is the first ingredient. and like most ingredients it is a part of a team that needs the support of other main ingredients or basics to hold it together, sweeten it, allow it to mature, grow, be baked, served, demonstrated, marketed and enjoyed. Nothing just happens without a whole lot of joining factors making it available and everything is all about the right timing. The "proof is in the pudding" and in any major big city our streets, gutters, dry goods stores, restaurants, clubs, drawing rooms, board rooms, aerobics/dance floors, stages, etc. are filled with some of the most talented people in the world. All were once shiny and new "Cherry 6000's" and had so much potential and promise that they really did believe that all they had to do was show up in order to be discovered or have the curtain lifted, and sometimes it did happen, sadly to others it did not and as one after the other of the less talented, less so called, beautiful people made it "big" and the so called special ones got older and perhaps wiser, it became apparent that just maybe, something else was involved in the "firming of the deal" or "pushing of the rock" up the mountain, hmmm, the thought occured, maybe, some training, advertisement, marketing, cultivation of some social skills, legal or professional representation, an agent, perhaps? A chain linking of all the elements or six senses, what the so called "normal" world has dressed in the "clothing word" abilities. To us that word is now called Infinite potential and the possibilities are endless as it encompasses all not known energies along with transmission and receptors and broadcasting them irregardless of the type of disguise we are clothing them in this week. Does it really matter what they are called as long as we know what they are to us and how to utilize them so that they work for us? I think not. Ah, but I digress, back and onward with the explanation at hand. Life teaches us a series of lessons in what is known as the "school of hard knocks" if we refuse to acknowledge the fact that we are here to not only join with others but to also engage, create, share, and become one with them, toward certain goals and aspirations, we can be like a ship without a rudder, compass, or anchor, and in so doing become lost in the fog forever. We were not meant to "do it all" alone. In fact, "doing it all" in anything is relatively impossible. Take a singer or a musician, or a performer or artist of any kind and make a simple listing of just what you personally connect them with as their arsenal of "standard working tools." Wow! That is very impressive! Isn't it? Try it with a few different scenarios, characters, personalities, amazing
isn't it? Now let's try to bring some definition into it. The thought. The action. The feeling. The physical. Or: The dream. The creation. The flow. The physical reality. All of these are categorized in the elements, now that sculpture, that band, that wonderful painting, that blueprint, can just stay in the garage, be moved to the attic, creep into the basement, be sold at the local flea market or online, be given or thrown away on a trash heap, along with everything else it took to put it together, (and that's o.k. too, if it's just a passing desire or experience you needed and not a life's passion, and there is a difference) or it can be taken to the next level. How is this achieved? When you have taken something as far as you can on your own imagination and skill and there is absolutely nothing you (or your band members, ect) can think of to do, it is time to find out what your real objective is. This is called the commitment phase. You must ask yourself some very serious questions now as this can be life changing should you decide to follow your dream into making it a vocation. How far do you want to go with this? How much time are you willing to give to its creation? What will you have to give up in order to pursue your goals? Who is involved, who is not? Is it worth it? Why is it worth it to you? You always have choices and options. It is now time to make some and to do some research even if it is only in your own mind. Be honest with yourself. What is needed to move this dream forward? Make lists, make phone calls, ask for help, join clubs, take classes, read everything you can get your hands on, goggle is your friend, as is Facebook and Twitter, blog, get involved passionately. This is the social element, talk, talk, talk, get that passion drumming, flowing, growing, moving and grooving along. Plan and have fun with it, play with your brain children, just like real children they need your attention and your love, dream the dream, expand your horizons and allow your imagination to go freely. See yourself being the very best at what you do and know that it can be, grow into it completely. One day you wake up and you are your creation. That is what happens when you are really committed to your goals and aspirations. It can be as simple as a neighborhood you belong in or a friend that you love, something happens on the way that changes production from a thing into a real way of life and one day you look in the mirror and realize, "Hey, this is not a chore, this is who I really am." Imagination is the doorway to all new ideas and creations." (Carson) Don't you think it is time you used yours? This is the recipe for "real Magick" and it is a gift.
Eclipses demand your focused attention and you will know it right away if you are not paying attention due to the irritation of those around you, the accidents you have, it is no coincidence that things keep happening to you now, they have been building for at least six months and we have ignored them.

Life teaches us a series of lessons in what is known as the "school of hard knocks" if we refuse to acknowledge the fact that we are here to not only join with others but to also engage, create, share, and become one with them, toward certain goals and aspirations, we can be like a ship without a rudder, compass, or anchor, and in so doing become lost in the fog forever. We were not meant to "do it all" alone. In fact, "doing it all" in anything is relatively impossible. Take a singer or a musician, or a performer or artist of any kind and make a simple listing of just what you personally connect them with as their arsenal of "standard working tools." Wow! That is very impressive! Isn't it? Try it with a few different scenarios, characters, personalities, amazing
isn't it? Now let's try to bring some definition into it. The thought. The action. The feeling. The physical. Or: The dream. The creation. The flow. The physical reality. All of these are categorized in the elements, now that sculpture, that band, that wonderful painting, that blueprint, can just stay in the garage, be moved to the attic, creep into the basement, be sold at the local flea market or online, be given or thrown away on a trash heap, along with everything else it took to put it together, (and that's o.k. too, if it's just a passing desire or experience you needed and not a life's passion, and there is a difference) or it can be taken to the next level. How is this achieved? When you have taken something as far as you can on your own imagination and skill and there is absolutely nothing you (or your band members, ect) can think of to do, it is time to find out what your real objective is. This is called the commitment phase. You must ask yourself some very serious questions now as this can be life changing should you decide to follow your dream into making it a vocation. How far do you want to go with this? How much time are you willing to give to its creation? What will you have to give up in order to pursue your goals? Who is involved, who is not? Is it worth it? Why is it worth it to you? You always have choices and options. It is now time to make some and to do some research even if it is only in your own mind. Be honest with yourself. What is needed to move this dream forward? Make lists, make phone calls, ask for help, join clubs, take classes, read everything you can get your hands on, goggle is your friend, as is Facebook and Twitter, blog, get involved passionately. This is the social element, talk, talk, talk, get that passion drumming, flowing, growing, moving and grooving along. Plan and have fun with it, play with your brain children, just like real children they need your attention and your love, dream the dream, expand your horizons and allow your imagination to go freely. See yourself being the very best at what you do and know that it can be, grow into it completely. One day you wake up and you are your creation. That is what happens when you are really committed to your goals and aspirations. It can be as simple as a neighborhood you belong in or a friend that you love, something happens on the way that changes production from a thing into a real way of life and one day you look in the mirror and realize, "Hey, this is not a chore, this is who I really am." Imagination is the doorway to all new ideas and creations." (Carson) Don't you think it is time you used yours? This is the recipe for "real Magick" and it is a gift.
