It's Full Moon time again!

The Sun and Moon are coming together, uniting their incredible energy - for a simply glorious display in the heavens above us! What actually happens at a Full Moon? It's the phase of the Moon when she sits on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun - facing each other. So the hemisphere of the Moon facing the Earth is almost fully illuminated by the Sun. They are reflecting each other, joining forces, combining their strengths to illuminate the surroundings - the surroundings being the constellation in which they are visiting.

They are currently travelling thru the constellation of Gemini and Sagittarius. Gemini and Sag sit opposite each other in the zodiacal wheel - this is known as an opposition in Astro terms. Signs in opposition are often described as being difficult to deal with, as they actually 'oppose' each other. They do provide the challenge for 'balance', but this opportunity grants us the chance to meet in the middle, take our egocentric vision away from ourselves and look at what is facing us. How can we blend the energies of self with that of the opposite self? I've always felt that opposites actually have a lot in common, they just look at things from opposite angles - this can actually give them tremendous insight, which joined together can create a more expansive view of the whole.

So when the Sun and Moon come into opposition - a huge opportunity exists - to see a greater view of the spectrum - what an opportunity! I guess that's why Full Moons have been celebrated since times long ago. People have performed rituals around the time of the full moon in many cultures. Even in our modern culture, many of our institutions have become acutely aware of this time of the month as they record more heightened levels of 'incidences' than normal. Apart from all of that - they are just magnificent to behold. Nature seems to come alive, as the Moon shines her gentle, loving energy on all - things seem heightened somehow, as if her brilliant energy transmutes a special magick. I just love the full moons - i feel like i want to bathe in her special aura, dance with all the 'litte folk', and celebrate this majestic time.

It's a shame that our modern lives often keep us indoors at night, missing her brilliant show. Why not create your own special ritual for the next full moon - acknowledge her, honour her - in that you will be acknowledging and honouring yourself, as she reflects back all you give.

Gemini and Sagittarius rule over the areas of our lives involved with gathering, sharing and communicating knowledge whilst seeking an even higher understanding of that knowledge - to evolve us to a greater level of understanding and wisdom. Gemini has the skill, curiosity and interest to search and seek out myriads of pieces of information and data which she contributes to the 'whole'. Sag doesn't have a lot of patience with bitty bits - his focus is on the big picture - how it all comes together. He has an innate understanding that a higher knowledge exists and he can take all this data and expand it till he sees the 'core', the diamond of wisdom within it. This he loads in his bow and aims far and wide - so we can all see this wisdom, as it illuminates our path ahead.

So what can that mean for us? Well, where in your life do you need to take your mental meanderings and create a bigger picture? How can you us the tools of your gathered knowledge, the information at hand - and paint it out on the hugest canvas you can find. Often things look clearer when they're bigger!

As a cute adjunct - i've developed this painful red swelling on the very point of my nose - not a good look! My realistic, analytic mind told me that's what happens when going from cold to hot temperatures - and being winter, that's what's happening. Then i thought - what is it that's right in front of me, literally at the end of my nose? It's becoming exaggerated to get my attention. Because i can get lost in my mental meanderings - what am i not seeing - that is obviously clear to everyone! The body is a wonderful point of reference - always! I'll hopefully busy myself in front of the computer today, so nobody has to see what is obvious to them and not me (i can just feel it) - my red nose!

So what needs to be taken out of the caven of your mind and magnified onto the canvas of your life? A little exercise - just start to keep looking for the big picture in everything around you at present - move those eyes from the computer screen to the scene outside your window - what is all around you that you keep missing because your focus is too narrow? I guess we gravitate a lot more to Gemini or maybe that's just me! But wherever there is Gemini - there also is Sag - they come together on the one continuum. You don't get one without the other.

So how can we/i give the old head a rest, respect the effort involved with gathering all this information - but create a break, a space so that all this information can alchemize into a more wholistic form. Good time to do a painting or a collage - get out all those ideas and thoughts from the head and put them on a canvas, a display - so you can clearly see the picture.

Use this special time - so abundantly given to us by our precious Mother Gaia - to illuminate the vision that sits within you right now - waiting so longingly for manifestation.

Let her light truely guide you to the manifestation of your ideas and thought - create your vision, our beautiful Mother Moon is supporting you.

till the next time

love and light

Moments of Magick

Today's the last day of May 2009 - only approx 3 weeks to the Winter Solstice, the longest day - midpoint for the Sun's journey around the globe.

The Sun still works in 'real' time, not techno time. We can go around the world in minutes, thanks to technological advancement and our minds are free to travel wherever they like, whenever they like - they know no bounds.

Technological advancement has created much good in our societies and most of us now rely heavily on it - like me now on the computer, communicating to you wherever you are! Someone may read this in Iceland, Russia or China, great eh! Or does it have it's flip side? I guess everything has it's flip side.

Whilst i'm communicating now to possible audiences around the world, my body sits here in Earth time. I'm influenced and affected by the cycles of the planets around the Earth i live on - most notably the Sun and Moon. My food is grown on the Earth, the water i need so desperately to survive comes from the earth. The air i breath is facilitated by the plants and trees that grow on the Earth. All of my loved ones live on the Earth. My house is mainly built with materials that are taken from the Earth. Babies are born from bodies nurtured and supported by the Earth.

So yes we live by Earth time too.

But it can be a bit of a schizophrenic existence at times - body in/on the Earth - mind and thoughts, where?

The mind is very alluring - it promises many things - some possible, some complete fantasy - what can we trust? Having a strongly aspected 'mental' astro influence i speak from experience. The element Air - in Astrology - represent the mental aspects of ourselves. The element Earth represents the physical, Water the emotional and Fire the intuitive and active elements of us.

Being a Virgo with a Moon in Capricorn makes me a double Earth sign and with an Ascendant in Gemini - adds the influence of the mental.

Astrology is a very useful tool for understanding our personal nature and why we operate the way we do. My initial impression of Astrology being a science and a wonderful form of Pyschology (back in 1960) still remains with me today. Within this area it can be very useful.

So having a strong influence of Earth i feel a strong connection with the Earth - i hear it, i feel it and i understand it. With Air on the Ascendant i often become seduced by the mind and what it promises to the detriment of my body. This is not a whole analysis of me here, just to give you an idea of it's connection to us personally.

We live in times where it's becoming obvious to most that the way we're treating the Earth is wrong - you don't need a degree in science to work that out! I believe that if we're abusing the Earth, than we are also abusing our bodies - the two are connected, physically and psychically. I also believe that if we start to look after our bodies we will also look after the Earth - they are made of the same material.

Living in a world where the mind has run rampant for some may be exciting - for others simply abhorrent. This is not the 1950's - where 'all is well', 'all is perfect', 'all is operating efficiently'. The veil of 'pretence' is falling rapidly - revealing the rotten corpse underneath.

Life is a wonderful and magickal gift. Mother Nature's kingdom is simply stupendous. She showers us with gifts constantly - she nurtures us, she sustains us.

We live in 2009 - how many of you couldn't even have conceived the idea of getting here? 2009 - only 3 years away from the heavily debated 2012.

But our bodies live in now time - live on earth time - so each moment, each breath we have a choice - do we choose life or do we choose death. Simple really. How do we choose life every moment, every day. How do we get behind sustainability, natural growth, wholistic evolution and creative and nurturing change?

We can do it, i know we can - we just need to remind each other and help each other along the way.

The planet Mercury is just about ready to move forward again - within the next few hours. He's been travelling backward since May 5th - so some of those frustrating delays should be moving forward very soon. And those things you seem to have mislayed? They should turn up! All personal matters put on hold or delayed should start falling into place. It's probably a boon that Mercury decides to do a backward tango every so often - even though it can feel bl....dy frustrating! As he travels forward with such speed at times (our mental facilities) - that it gives us some breathing space, time for reflection and review - before we finally move forward with our plans.

So get ready for all those things on pause to begin moving forward, quickly - you've been warned!

Neptune started moving backwards on Friday - just as Mercury was getting ready for his forward push. I was aware this was coming up and having Neptune as quite a significant personal influence - i was very curious as to how this would unfold. I've been very surprised. Since he's started his movement in reverse, i've felt so much more energy, clarity, enthusiasm and passion. I would never have thought that it would have had this affect. I won't bore you with all my mental meanderings and suppositions on the subject - but i will do some research on it - maybe for another time. As Neptune is a very powerful planet - he often appears hidden behind his misty clouds - his approach is definitely not direct - he is mysterious and incredibly subtle. Maybe he becomes more direct in his retrograde stage? All i know is that the influence has been sudden and direct - correlating with his movements - so will be interesting to 'uncover' the meaning. 'Uncover' is probably another word that could be attributed to Neptune - as he surrounds himself with much mysterious substance. He appears to hide, 'find me if you can' he taunts as he changes form again. Neptune has a very strong influence on our creative expression - now may be a super wonderful time to really get into all those creative projects you've been putting off. Neptune is stopping and sitting with you for a while - so his influence is strong. It can be a real ball with Neptune when you get used to his ways - so drift on and out!

Chiron - often referred to as the 'Maverick' of the zodiac and governing over the domain of healing - has also just started his retrograde stage. Chiron is a bit of an enigma - he's referred to as the 'Wounded Healer' - and his position in our natal chart refers to the personal place where we carry our 'wound'. We all have one, 'the wound that can't be healed' - but just in different areas of our psyche. It is not a physical wound but one which affects our psyche and thus our whole approach to life. Chiron's reverse movement will also bring him into our lives more acutely. Moving back and forward over ground already visited - trying to get a message across. Chiron is currently in the constellation of Aquarius so his message is for and about humanity. Where, in our own personal psychic wound do we affect the human family? How can we, by being aware of our own mortal wound, be a part of the healing of the whole?

The grand triple conjunction of Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter in Aquarius is significant indeed. It's all about the huge, magickal healing which is taking place on earth now! The coming together of these three giants is notable indeed. Such a magnificent play happening above us as we go about our daily lives - a grand performance, a brilliant orchestration. As is above so is below - we are all a part of this divine theatre.

So in the midst of some pretty 'heavy' influences upon us -come the trio of Neptune, Jupiter and Chiron. This of course always has it's 'healing' requirements - but overall such a shining 'signal' of healing times ahead.

Jupiter will also be beginning his retro period from June 16th.

So this trio is surely making huge efforts to get their message across - one way or another.

There's a Full Moon coming up on June 8th - in Sag - so let those dreams and visions soar - believe in them. With all the learning and healing that is taking place - take this knowledge to even greater heights - explore further the incredible opportunities that are available for us now.

Have great moments and may they always be magickal!!

lotsa luv

FULL MOON TIME!

Well, it's Full Moon time again - what will it be 'illuminating' for you this time!
The Full Moon is a great time for communing with the elementals - it's their time to party! Whilst pondering the approach to this Full Moon, i began writing. I could feel their presence. They always encourage me to love and nurture myself, see the beauty that surrounds me and let go of the fear which holds me a prisoner of the past.
"Look thru the eyes of gratitude" they remind me, "don't be afraid, we are looking over you", "the fears you hold are memories, memories of past trauma and pain - they don't exist now, let them go", "look after your body, this is important!"
We carry within the memory of our cells so much of yesteryear! Time that has gone, but the imprint of the emotion still 'stuck' in our body. So we act as if we are still 'there', somewhere in the past, reliving our memory.
But we are here now! So how can we clear our selves, our bodies of these 'cancers'? There is so many wonderful therapies available to us now to help us on this quest. Ortho-Bionomy* is particularly effective.
We don't want to continue living here and living in the past simultaneously, so confusing! Where am I? Who am I?

The Moon brings memories of the past as well as illuminating the present! So now is a great time to work with your body in removing those debilitating 'attachments'. Movement creates change and it also does this in your body. Your body needs movement to assist it with its innate ability to self correct. It needs to flow, it needs to circulate, it needs to rebound, it needs to follow on - it needs to be given the chance to do what it does best - self regulate! So why not make this the time to visit your favourite therapist and attend to those things that you've been putting off!

This Full Moon is in the elegant and harmony seeking sign of Libra. So a super time for 'balancing' those scales, correcting that acid/alkaline balance in your body, nurturing your kidneys (removing the fear) and giving those poor adrenals a break! So what acidic thoughts need to be chucked? What ancient fears? Where are your scales way out? Your body needs you! Libra is all about relationships - and the greatest of relationships, the one with yourself - and the one with your body, without which there would be no you!

So why not make this Full Moon all about your wonderful, loving relationship with yourself. A magnificent time to love and woo your body, listen carefully to what it says - how can you love her, nurture her make her feel the most loved person in the whole wide world?

The Libra/Aries polarity is all about 'me' versus the 'other'. A magnified time to look at how we balance these needs. We could look at this as our body and our mind - who gets the most air space here? Not hard to make a guess! So how about turning it around - what about, for the next week, giving your body first say, every day, every moment, for a week. Do you think you can do that? I know the minds noisy and we're so used to the sound of it's voice - and the body? What's her voice sound like? You need to be quiet and feel - feel what's happening, what is it doing, how does it feel, what does it need? It may take a bit of practice, but you'll get the hang of it, we've just lost the knack!

So a great time for healing! The chart for the Full Moon reflects this strongly. Use the powerful transformational energy around to create positive transformations, life changing decisions and a whole new life for you! These are powerful times in deed and this week with the presence of our glorious Moon we have a special time to focus - focus on ourselves, by doing this we can change the world!

So let's have a go and put our body first for just one week.

See how it goes - i'll get back to you next time!

lots of love to you all

It's been a while!

It's been an active couple of months and i just haven't managed to get back here! What a time it is eh! So much movement, energetic movement. Energy swirling, creating new, disolving old and sometimes, it seems, just sittin! Can you ever quite remember a time like the last 12 mths? I can't. But then i guess every moment in time is unique, bringing us fresh opportunities to choose - our thoughts, our actions, our motivations, our emotions - our life path.

Today March 26th we're on the eve of the 1st New Moon of the Astrological New Year. In the wee hours of tomorrow morning the Sun and Moon will sit snuggly together at around 6 degrees of Aries.

Aries begins the new Astrological Year and with the New Moon this month it's a special time of fresh and new beginnings! A great time to act on those visions, implement those new ideas and get moving with that project. Now's the time to act, to get that butt off the seat and get moving! No more procrastination - time to manifest that dream, now!

Venus is doing her longer than usual stay in Aries at present - she's camped there for around 6 weeks - back and forth she goes (Retrograde), making sure she really get's her message across. For an individual account of what that means for you - check out my article on http://www.creativechangemakers.com/

So what is Venus's message for you? Better get it, as she's really putting in a lot of effort to make sure you do! When she's visiting Aries she's a lot more assertive - a lot more! No shrinking violet here - she knows what she wants and she's off to get it. Add to that the energy of the New Moon, so good vibrations abound for going after what you want NOW - get it rolling, get those creations out of your head and into the manifest. There's also a lot of creative energy around with Venus in Aries as Venus is the pure creator/ess of beauty and Aries has bucket loads of intuitive energy.

Venus also looks over the area of values - and No.1 here is how we value ourselves. The foundations of our life rest on the value we place on ourselves. So lotsa learning with Venus, which is not too hard, as she has a way of making all her intensives easy to absorb and digest!

An extra addition to this special New Moon is Pluto - he never seems to be too far away these days! In fact, he's sharing central stage with Saturn and Uranus - what a trio! My god! Well, i guess if you really want things done you call in the big guns! The New Moon is sitting at a tense angle to Pluto, creating his usual intensity. He's not letting us forget that he's around and never let's us forget what he's doing - just "destroying everything that's no use to you anymore - so you can start all over again". Well, what can i say, no use holding on is there?

In fact with all that's happening in the 'heavens' at present - there is absolutely no bloody way of holding on to anything that's outlived its usefullness, or was faulty from the outset!

So a good time to get back to basics - back to nature, back to what vibrates with living energy - real things, lasting things, sustainable things. Don't know about you, but i'm just longing to go and sit amongst the trees, feel their vibrant life, their nurturing presence and their selfless energy. Life in the cities is tuff! It takes so much energy to operate in it. But new times are a coming hopefully for all of us individually and for our dear Mother Earth.



lots of love to you all till next time

IT'S A NEW YEAR!

Much love and the bestest of wishes to you all for a wonderful 2009!

Boy! What a year it was - 2008 - i think it would have to go down in the history books - of the world - and of our psyches.

For me i can pinpoint the time the changes began - it was during the amazing Eclipses in August/September 2007. This Eclipse aspected my own Astrological Chart intensely. I remember the time clearly. I was down in the little village of Woodenbong, just 15 kms from the NSW & QLD border. Such a lovely little village, guarded and protected by Mt Lyndsay, Mt Barney and Mt Clooney (as well as others near by). The area has a very gentle healing energy for me - i believe much can be achieved there. Anyway i was there for the Eclipse and man what an incredible experience it was. At any time on a clear night - the sky there is like a diamond studded velvet blanket - so many stars, it's breathtaking. But on this night Mother Nature had a spectacular show in store. I sat and watched this incredible sky as the Moon slowly morphed from its glowing radiant self to a fiery red ball. The energy everywhere changed - such a powerful transformation was taking place - such an amazing sight to witness. I thought ' i wonder how all the stars and planets are feeling' as they were washed with these powerful energetic waves.

The next morning i could feel the change within myself - i felt lighter somehow, as if some change had taken place within me. I wondered how everything else felt - the birds (of which there are many in the mornings in Woodenbong), the trees, the flowers, the cows, the sheep, the goats - i wondered how they all felt - 'cause surely they could not be the same after that momentus event.' I thought - 'nothing is the same now - its all been changed'.

That was 2007 - almost 18mths ago - and what an 18mths it's been!

It's now January 2009 and the time for dealing with these changes is before us. As humans, we 'don't do' change so well. We think we do, but we really fear it. We like to think of ourselves as 'flexible' - well 'as long as everything stays as i like it' then i can be flexible in my thinking - i can be 'open minded' just as long as nothing changes on the outside - 'just don't touch my things'!

Well folks - we're about to be stretched - how flexible are we really?

During the Eclipse period that i spoke of - was also the beginning of my second Saturn Return. This is the time when Saturn returns to it's natal placement - only happening approx every 30 yrs. Around 28-30 and 59-60. It's a time of reckoning - Saturn can be a bit heavy handed when he's intent on something. And at these times you're asked 'what are you doing?' "Are you doing what you're meant to be doing? "Have you put things in place" "Have you set up your foundations for the next stage of your life?" "Are you honouring your life?" "Are you being 'real'"? Saturn can be slow, heavy and strict - he's the 'bones' of your life - the 'structure' - and these need to be solid and secure, correct and exact - so his rules are definate and precise - there's no bending them.

Saturn has also been 'sitting on' my Sun - visualize it - can you get the picture? So as well as all the enormous changes happening to us as a collective - there have been very heavy and intense changes happening within me.

Astrology is an amazing tool - to help us navigate thru these changing tides and any challenging periods in our lives. As, just as Mother Nature provides a cure for our ills - with flowers and plants - the planets also provide us with a clue - an action to take, a direction to go. They all bring their strengths to use as well as their 'wake up' calls.

So - it's unlikey that there have been many people left untouched by this intense period of time we've experienced - but there's more to come! Good thing is we've had a taste of change - it's rocked our boats, so hopefully we've build a few muscles, we've become stronger and a bit more 'realistic'. Maybe we are better equiped to deal with further changes.

'Cause in essence, as human beings - we just want to be happy, have a roof over our heads, food to eat, a safe environment and be with the people we love. We are really simple folk at heart - and we can be satisfied with simple pleasures. We've just got a bit 'off track' with our 'inflated' expectations and unrealistic world.

So i reckon there's lots of hope - as humans are pretty smart - we just need to use our brains and activate our hearts. Very important during these times to activate our hearts.

We have a choice - always - as to what we focus on. Will i focus on all my problems, all the things that are changing, what i'm missing or will i focus on all the beauty and wonder in my life, all my gifts and talents, all my loved ones - all the magnificence that's been showered on me during my life - my life itself. My life - without which nothing would exist. Am i grateful for my life? Am i grateful for each moment that comes - each breath that i take, do i understand the significance of these each and every breaths - do i understand that my existence here on earth is temporary and it will end. Do i understand that these significant breaths will one day stop and i will be no more. Do i understand what an opportunity i've been given - do i feel gratitude for this opportunity - do i use this opportunity to its maximum possibility?

We live as a collective - yet our choices are individual - only each one of us can choose life, can choose peace, can choose gratitude. Then all our individual choices will merge together to create a collective 'environment' - how stunning is our opportunity - how magnificent our power - how humbling our opportunity.

So here we are in 2009 - a period of time of which much has been surmised - what will you do in this time? What choices will you make? What opportunities will you take up? What gratitude will you express. Each one of us, alone, needs to take this journey - then and only then will the large human family transform.

Lots of love to you and may your journey be blissfully fulfilling

Relaxing times

Another beautiful day on Mother Earth!
This morning we share the abundance of our beautiful Moon's Full Moon energy.
Did you see her last night? Such a spectacular sight!
Radiating her fullness in the constellation of Aries - she showers energy and enthusiasm. She is no shrinking violet in Aries - as tender and nurturing as she is, she know what she wants here and will actively pursue it!
What is it that you want and how will you pursue it? The energy is available to you now to make those moves. The energy of Aries and his ruling planet Mars is active, very active. He's adventurous too and loves to have fun. He exudes an energy of child like enthusiasm and loves to make things happen! Where do you feel your energy is at the moment, where in your body does it make its present felt? How do you hold your energy, how do you express it, how do you save it?
This Full Moon can help you understand your energy needs. The Moon's energy has a lot to do with our needs, what we need to feel comfortable, where we naturally gravitate and what we need to feel secure. So with the Moon in her fullest manifestation and radiating the potent energy of Aries - our energy needs are are in view!
We expend our energy in various ways through our body, various ways through our emotions and various ways through our mental process. We are expending energy constantly. In Chinese Medicine ways of thinking we come into this world with a certain ammount of energy or chi - this is influenced by our parents, genetic influences etc. So it's as if we come with a certain container full of this stuff! And then we start to use it throughout our life. Bit by bit we empty the container - we revitalize and replace some of this used energy, replacing it back into the container. But some energy is lost and not replaced - this is affected by our life styles, our eating habits and our general state of physical, emotional and mental health. So energy is vital to our existence - without it we cannot exist! So how do we use our energy? How do we conserve it? How do we spend it?
Everything in this life is created from energy - behind every form is energy - energy is the life force behind all of creation. So this Full Moon is particularly significant because how we use our energy effects everything in our life - every part of our life here on earth. How we maintain and care for our energy is very important to our survival individually and collectively.
I started this article looking for a picture that 'jumped out' at me. I went through many, none seeming to have a significant connection to the present Full Moon energy. I kept being attracted to the many beach scenes I've taken photos of over the years - I love the ocean. My mental chatter kept 'advising' me that the beach had nothing to do with the energy of the Full Moon in Aries! That mental chatter can be a real trickster at times! Of course the ocean and beach speaks an energetic language to me - it reminds me of how I replenished my energy, how I soothed my energy, how I fed my energy and how I relaxed my energy. The beach to me is all about energy! It restores my energy in a way nothing else does. Nature does that for me constantly - but it seems when I've allowed my energy to deplete to a dangerous level - the ocean's medicine is powerfully and instantly effective. So for me this beautiful Moon is showing me, vividly, where the level of my 'container' sits - is it normal, below normal or in the 'dangerous zone', so very, very kind is our dear Mother Nature always there for us, constantly communicating with us, her sole purpose, for us to survive here on Mother Earth. She puts up the mirror so we can see ourselves and she quietens us so we can hear our inner voice - our inner knowing and wisdom that always knows what we need to do to be safe and well.
Each sign of the zodiac shares a 'line' of existence with another sign - Aries shares the space with Libra. So Libra's influence will also be present with this Full Moon. Libra's charm and grace, her love of beauty and harmony, her diplomacy and tact and her focus on relationships.
So how will we instigate the individual energy available to us? Will we use it with harmony and grace, beauty and harmony with consideration for the 'other'? Will we think of 'us' not just 'me'? Will we use this precious energy of life to create a healthy and complete 'I' to work withing a sharing, caring and harmonious 'us'?
As always we have choice, we have this magnificent life for such a short time, leaving day by day. How do we choose to use our predious energy, how will we care for this precious energy - how will be care for ourselves? How will we care for our communities? How will we care for our World - our Mother Earth? It all comes back to our dear friend Aries support in how will we care for ourself? From that all else can occur.
Emerse yourself deeply in Mother Natures abundantly giving nature - use the gifts she so generously showers to be happy, healthy and internally fulfilled.
May the bounty of life complete you!

October has arrived

"Flinders Ranges" by Lina Eve

with thanks

hi! Before beginning this months 'meanderings' I was reading over last months entry and what a surprise! My initial 'impulse' was just to get straight into this months without reflection on what has transpired. Words caught my eye as i moved along the lines -"responsiblity, manifestation of goals, stability of focus, planned goals and action, step by step clear strategy, focused intention and orderly progression". There were even more! "Precise and ordered steps, 'bum to seat', practical application, discipline and focus, self control and concentration".

These were words i used to describe the energies the September New Moon made available - in her Virgo and Saturn environment.

Looking now at that 'possibility' and what has transpired for me over these last few days is simply 'right on!'. It was if the words came to life and acted out their plan in such an unexpected way! Simply amazing!

I stand here now seeing the rewards of my actions - seeing the manifestation of my intentions - so very exciting! So worlds apart from just the intellectual 'knowing'. Positive and constructive change is possible it just requires our focus, intention, 'learning' and application/action.

It's particularly exciting for me to see the gifts, the potentials, the energy of our most beautiful, mystical Moon - and see them manifest.

Such a powerful source of life and nurturance surrounds us - our Mother Earth, Dear Mother Gaia - may we be open to the gifts and abundance she showers on us. Thank you dear Mother Gaia and may we learn fast the lessons before us - may we respect and honour you. The Creative Energy/Source of Life gave us life, the most precious of precious gifts and you have given us a home to live this life - we pray that we can honour this and soon!

Well - another New Moon slipped by - the Libra New Moon on September 29th. A pervading energy of beauty and relationship, encouraging us to focus our goals and become aware of our intentions. A great time for networking and relating - for focusing in on the most significant relationship, the relationship with ourself! A time for noticing what may be out of balance in our way of relating with others and with ourself. How can we better love another - how can we better love ourself?

Also issues of fairness and inequity will come to light, a time for balancing the scales. Also a time of love, peace and justice - how can we re-establish this in our communities, on our earth?

It's Venus time - Aphrodite will be present - her energy easier to perceive. Do you give her voice in your life? Do you allow her to manifest? How can you see the world through her eyes? Beauty and harmony, how can you embellish yourself in her robes?

The Libra/Aries polarity brings the focus of 'you versus me' - how can we accomodate you and me - space and time for us both. Not one over the other but 2 together - 'win win' for all.

Writing these 'words' - feeling and observing the beautiful energy of this New Moon - i see her manifestation in my life - so seemingly magickly! During the short week since she shone her magick - again these words have come alive and acted out my life's intentions. Is there just an incredible amount of magick around at present or am i just waking up - i suspect both!

With the constant magick that occurs in my life i'm always left with the same overwhelming sensation - the feeling of gratitude - for my precious life, my precious learnings, the incredible ones who guide and teach me and the divine divinity of this life. Again i am left humbled with that most magnificent feeling of gratitude pervading me - thank you, thank you for everything i am given.

Well i wish for you to stay awakened to the incredibleness that surrounds you and just keep taking those steps towards your greatness (inside you all the time).

lots of love to you all
