new moon

New Moon is Wednesday, April 14 at 6:29AM MDT (Mountain Daylight Time) Re-focus on your creativity and imagination and what you are birthing or desiring to manifest for yourself. The new moon is always a good time to plant seeds, to honor what has died and to appreciate the rich compost created by your personal past history. New moon will often bring a still point, like an engine winding down or a computer shutting off. When you re-boot, re-start and re-focus, it is important that you listen only to yourself and to spirit. Regardless of any drama taking place "Out There", you can find a still point, a place of security and peace inside of you. Honor that you know who you are, and you know what you want. Do not take others reactions to your ideas or desires personally. Spirit has no judgment, so talk to spirit when you need to share. During this new moon time and preferably as close to the new moon time as possible spend some quiet alone time just with yourself and spirit.

Think of it as a re-set time.

Blessings,
Lena

New Moon in Aries 24º
Wed. April 14, 6:29 AM MDT

Take your cue from nature; she is ecstatic in display that comes from bursting forth in color, new growth and renewal! Aries, first sign of the zodiac, masculine and initiating with its fiery ruler Mars, radiates enthusiasm, initiative, vitality and courage for beginning anew. And like the Spring Equinox, Aries New Moon calls us to release the energy gathered into our core in the dark of winter and spend it where we feel most alive, unrestrained and full of Self.

You might be glad to know this New Moon has none of the heavy intensity of Pluto aspects to Sun/Moon prominent in the Full Moon two weeks ago. So many felt pushed to their limits under that weekend influence. This New Moon chart is notable for a lack of almost any primary aspects. Much is going on but is more subtle, preparatory and behind the scenes.

from an email about astrology and the summer

Greetings Everyone,

Here is the latest message from an astrologer’s viewpoint of the summer ahead. I am most hopeful you will find it informative and insightful. ...

The Big Crunch

Has your life seemed stressful lately? Are you feeling overwhelmed or overextended? You are not alone. It seems that every arena of life has been stressed more than usual recently, from the unusual solar activity patterns and our solar system’s position relative to the Galactic Center all the way down to your checkbook and maybe even those little metacarpal joints in your hands. Well, hang on, because the best is yet to come, since all the big planets from Jupiter right out into the Oort Cloud are lining up in the most tense but exciting configurations imaginable. Let’s try to sort through the action one blow at a time.

Saturn (tradition) and Uranus (novelty) have been dancing opposite each other since November 2008. Because of retrograde motion they will reach a point of exact opposition 5 times before they are through. The closer to exactness the aspect, the more intense the activity they represent. The 4th of the five oppositions is on April 26. The effect of the opposition starts to become tangible when the two orbs in question get within 5 degrees of each other. That border is crossed on March 20, the first day of spring. The battle between reform and conservativism will heat up again in all areas of life, from health care reform to financial re-thinking, environmental issues and long-standing military conflicts. The intensity of the opposition builds up to its strongest influence on day of exactness. The struggle between the need for change and the resistance to changing has been permeating everything lately: budgets at all levels, health care, gun laws, whatever. Watching the Winter Olympics back in February, the announcers constantly stressed that the competitors would have to “go over the edge” and do something to push the limit and impress judges or beat the clock. This is Uranus talking and, in Pisces, it is not such an easy mode for Uranus to work in. Saturn, on the other hand, is in Libra, the sign of its exaltation. There is no better sign for Saturn to work from. So, many of the athletes took falls or otherwise overextended and lost out to those who did traditional, conservative performances flawlessly in order to win medals. The conservative opposition has had the upper hand recently.

Uranus moves into Aries on May 28, however, and will gain a lot of power in that sign. Changes will come much easier, especially when Jupiter comes up to conjoin Uranus on June 7, a very powerful combination to help initiate something very new and different. It would be enough just to have Saturn and Uranus opposite, but they are lined up very close to what is called “cardinal points”. Cardinal Points are those four points that define the start of each season. Uranus moves from deep in late Pisces to 0 degrees of Aries on the first day of spring. Cardinal points are important because they stand at the place where the season is catapulted into existence. Things that happen when planets are within 3 degrees of a cardinal point have a long-lasting effect; trend-setting you would say.

It is the big planets that define the scene, while the close-up and personal planets manifest these big energies into personal, daily life. So, even though Saturn and Uranus are exactly opposite on April 26, the Moon comes in to apply the paint to the canvas the day before when it is conjunct to Saturn. Mark April 25 as a “day to watch” in the news or with your family and friends. And with Mars now in direct motion, it returns to the spot of its station by May 17. So, if you have projects that have been fecundating over the winter, you ought to see some effects from your efforts by this time. Mars adds initiative and spark to everything and livens up all aspects of activity. Include the Saturn/Uranus opposition and it’s like turning up the heat under a pot on the stove.

We have Jupiter involved in this, too. Jupiter reflexly brings about an image of being happy and jolly and bountiful. Looking deeper, however, it rules over large organizations like governments, religions and corporations. Too much Jupiter leads to excess, but this planet is always trying to teach us something and sometimes the lessons are bigger-than-life. Jupiter is in mid-Pisces now but will move to the end of the sign to combine with Uranus for a big look into the Great Unknown that lies beyond this 3-dimensional world. How they do that remains to be seen.

On May 22, Jupiter is very close to Uranus at 29 degrees of Pisces and opposite a Moon/Saturn conjunction at 29 degrees of Virgo. Directly on the cardinal points, this can make for lots of stress and lots of opportunity; it is a good time to have your senses open and watching. Pisces/Virgo is always associated with health conditions, and everything from your lumbago to the nation’s health-care system will be under maximum pressure.

Just a week later, on June 2, Jupiter and Uranus are conjunct at 0 degrees of Aries, the zero point of the whole astrological cycle. This means new beginnings in a big way. No longer shrouded under the secretive veil of the Pisces unconscious, when we get to Aries, everything is out in the open where we can all see it. By this time, we get to see the society-wide influence of Pluto.

Pluto is retrograding this spring and summer, moving back towards the 0 degrees of Capricorn cardinal point. The June 2 Jupiter/Uranus conjunction is very close to square to Pluto, meaning that the changes afoot are a direct result of huge social and perhaps even climate changes that mandate changing direction as a culture.

Pluto is very close to the Sun in the chart for the Federal Reserve. Will the dollar lose more status in the world marketplace? Will anything happen to change the philosophy concerning the national debt? Not only are Jupiter/Uranus square to Pluto but so is Saturn, and, classically, the economy is at its worst when Saturn and Pluto are square. They have been in that relationship the past year or so, but it’s not over yet. The last square is August 20, so don’t expect any real improvements to the world economy until then.

In the midst of the twisting forces pulling on the big planets, we have a total eclipse of the Sun on July 11. This is part of the Saros cycle of eclipses that is closest to the fixed star, Sirius. Sirius is the 4th brightest object in the sky and our closest celestial neighbor, only 4 light-years away.

There are certainly plenty of legends about Sirius: how beings from that star are responsible for placing the plant kingdom here on Earth; how they directed the building of the pyramids and that they live still in house cat bodies and watch over Earth as whales and dolphins.

The United States was formed on July 4, when the Sun was exactly conjunct to Sirius. Sirius is the only star that does not precess like all the others; its position remains fixed and does not lose 1 degree every 72 years like all the other stars. January 1 has been selected to start the New Year because Sirius is directly overhead at midnight on that date, every year without variation. The eclipse on July 11 implies that we get input, directions and feedback from the great spiritual entities that reside on Sirius.

Eclipses also go along with changes in the power structure of governments and leaders. Perhaps the US might lose some of its status as a world power in the months and years after this eclipse. This happens simultaneously with Jupiter/Uranus opposite Saturn and Pluto exactly halfway between. This is like looking at the inside of a diesel engine with the piston at the most compressed postion in the cylinder and the eclipse injecting the fuel. This is the power stroke that catapults us into a new way of being.

Just two weeks later on July 26 Saturn and Uranus form the last of the exact oppostions at the critical cardinal point of 0 Aries. It is of historical interest that the exact Saturn/Uranus opposition of June 7, 1920 marked the first day of Prohibition, that great social experiment that was supposed to stop the drinking problem in the US, but instead fostered organized crime and a general atmosphere of lawlessness.

What great social experiment might we all be embarking on this time? Mars is close to Saturn this coming July 26 and marks what is most probably the peak of the stress for all of us. The opposition is square to Pluto, making an intense T-square configuration that is unusual, powerful and profound.

In August 1999 there was a Grand Cross configuration that involved every planet in fixed signs except for Pluto. This event marked a point where every soul on the planet declared which of two paths they were on from then until the fated 2012 rollover date for the long-count Mayan calendar. These two paths are described in the Ra Material as channeled by Carla Rueckert. She states that most souls are on the Service-To-Others path, which basically assumes that we are all in this together and nobody advances until everybody advances and all souls are seen as equal; helping each other is the path of progress. The Service-To-Self path involves trying to climb over others to further one’s own aims. This path is very stressful and makes souls strong, but incurs a lot of karma that needs to be made up later. We can see the stratification in society with a few “haves” and a lot of “have nots”. This is because souls on each path co-exist here, whereas Ra says that usually they are left to evolve and grow in places where there are just Service-to-Self souls or just Service-to-Others. This is one of the things that makes planet Earth a very special and unusual place in the universe.

What we have this summer is a T-square in cardinal signs which means each soul now has to make some effort or key decision to follow their chosen path. The T-square pattern has an empty or balancing point that is at 0 degrees of Cancer. This represents humanity as a whole, or the humanness of all of us. This is the gate that souls pour through into incarnation. It is the common people who will feel the most stressed, abused, and taken advantage of, but they will also exert the most influence over how things finally shake out.

The gulf between the polarities will widen and people will entrench themselves deeper into their chosen perspective. The entire time of Leo, from July 26 through August 20 is a wild, roller-coaster ride of one stressful configuration after another, which is fitting considering the Leo eclipse and Grand Cross of 1999. The only outer planets standing off from this big T-square are Chiron and Neptune, the healer and the mystic respectively. These two are allies to us during this time.

They will remind us to listen to the Navajo prophecy about “tending your own garden” and “don’t look outside”. This simply means that we be kind and respectful towards everyone around us and that we look inside ourselves and discover how we can transform our old ways of being into a new paradigm that speaks to creating a world that is truly equal on all levels of the heart and mind, one that encompasses love, compassion and understanding of the next person we encounter, no matter who he/she may be. May the journey ahead lead you into a peaceful transformation.

full moon

Full Moon is Monday, March 29 at 8:25 PM Mountain Daylight Time.

This is a potent moon, the first spring moon that demands that you show up and honor who you truly want to be in this life. Don't waste the gifts of this moon with whining, complaining, and regretting what you don't have. Where you are is exactly where you have placed yourself in your universe at this time. So if you like it, do something very honoring in gratitude to where you have ended up. If not, you may need to get rid of something that symbolizes an old path, an old attachment. Gift it to spirit with generosity. Remember that Pluto will not let you get away with sweeping the lower frequencies under the rug. Do something for yourself out of compassion, forgiveness and a tremendous amount of self-love.

significant or not?

I am always interested in astrology insights that seem to apply to all people and not just this sign or that. This article is about something I will follow more for awhile to see what it means:


We definitely are in a time of upheaval on personal, local, and global scales. Are the planets why? I always ask the question of how can they be at the same time it's hard to ignore historical examples such as are in that article.

Prepare, but as usual... how?

Full moon alert

If you didn't already know it by disrupted sleep patterns, the full moon is this week-end. This came in an email from The Power Path:

***************************************

Full moon is Sunday, February 28 at 9:38 AM Mountain Standard Time. Do something expansive and new to honor your opening and expansion and stretching your horizons. Do something different and unique and perhaps arranged by someone else (especially if you are stubborn). Spend time acknowledging and cherishing life, beauty, and the feminine. Listen to spirit and give thanks for all the opportunities that have come your way for ever deepening your relationship to spirit and your true essence whether easy or challenging. Surrender the resistance to what is and what is happening in your life. If you don't feel particularly energetic at this time, take a break from doing and just be.

Blessings,

Virgo Full Moon, Sun in Pisces 9º Sunday, Feb. 28, 2010 9:38 AM MST Sixth house Virgo is the axis of service; Twelfth house Pisces is the axis of surrender. Virgo speaks of the body; Pisces speaks of the soul. Virgo is the real; Pisces the ideal. It might be said the soul holds a record of all we think, desire and do. Virgo Full Moon brings to the light how we live our ideals. Our behavior, actions, thoughts must not be different from our desire for awakening. Out of this endeavor to manifest the spiritual comes Virgo's reputation for honesty, integrity and purity.

Four planets form a stellium around the Sun in Pisces - Jupiter, Sun, Venus, and Uranus. Much emphasis is placed on Piscean themes for our consideration. This last sign completes the zodiac cycle and allows for the fresh beginnings of spring when the first degree of Aries literally marks the Earth's balance between light and dark at Spring Equinox (Sat. March 20 11:32AM MDT). Neptune-ruled Pisces Sun opens us to becoming one with all that is. With Neptune's relationship with what is deep and unconscious, we feel viscerally the Web of Life and how we are a node in the larger hive resonating with every aspect of life.

Surrender, forgiveness and union are possible with the flow of this powerful lineup of watery influences. How will you apply this opportunity to what is happening in your life?

Winter consists of Capricorn at the winter solstice creating structure and responsibly manifesting in the material world for the good of family and community; next, Aquarius moves the energy to an inspired level of collective, humanitarian concern manifesting through group associations and friendship for the good of all; finally, Pisces unifies and lifts the energy to a spiritual level of oneness offering up all that has come before so we might be sustained by our faith and trust in a force larger than our own finite life. Compassion - universal love is born out of this act of surrender beyond separation to the greater whole. Soon, Aries equinox will again instigate our individuation into the material world.

This final Full Moon before the New Year cycle marked by Spring Equinox is notable for three major influences:

1) Jupiter exactly conjunct the Pisces Sun<>

Finding Your Tribe

I really like [Daily OM] with the daily emails with different thoughts for living a quality life. February 5th is one that I really see as important.

Finding Your Tribe
Your Allies On Life’s Journey

Our tribe members are those people who accept us as we are and gladly accompany us on our journeys of evolution.


Part of being human is the search for an individual identity. Bound to this strong need to establish a unique persona, however, is an equally intense desire for acceptance. It is when we find our individual tribes that both are satisfied. Our tribe members are those people who accept us as we are without reservation and gladly accompany us on our journeys of evolution. Among them, we feel free to be our imperfect selves, to engage unabashedly in the activities we enjoy, and to express our vulnerabilities by relying on our tribe for support. We feel comfortable investing our time and energy in the members of our tribe, and are equally comfortable allowing them to invest their resources in our development.

The individuals who eventually become members of your unique tribe are out there in the wide world waiting for you. You are destined to find them, one by one, as you move through life. Sometimes your own efforts will put you in contact with your future tribe members. At other times, circumstances beyond your control will play a role in helping you connect with your tribe. If you look about you and discover that you are already allied with a wonderful and supportive tribe, remember that there are likely many members of your tribe you have not yet met. On the other hand, if you feel you are still living outside of your tribe, broadening your horizons can help you find your tribe members.

However your life develops after you come together with your tribe, you can be assured that its members will stand at your side. On the surface, your tribe may seem to be nothing more than a loose-knit group of friends and acquaintances to whom you ally yourself. Yet when you look deeper, you will discover that your tribe grounds you and provides you with a sense of community that ultimately fulfills many of your most basic human needs.

February Astrology Reading

from Lena and Jose Stevens (http://www.thepowerpath.com)

The main theme for February is SURRENDER.

The theme of Surrender aligns this time frame with the goal of the year, Submission. Surrender does not mean giving up, losing the battle or failure of any kind. Rather it is a giving into and getting behind the forces at work; ones you have created through your intentions. It truly is time to get out of the way and allow life to co-create itself with and around you. Other themes we will be working with this month are Opening, Vulnerability, Willingness, Allowing, Beauty and the Feminine.


This is potentially a month of very deep healing of the oldest wounds of abandonment and entrapment. It is an opportunity to open yourself up to being more connected to your own essence, love, spirit, beauty and deep feeling. A great deal of trust and perceived emotional risk will be required to truly drop into this pool of heightened senses and fuller experience. The possibility of moving into a state of higher awareness is available to you. Because of the old wounds of abandonment and entrapment this can feel like dangerous and scary territory. Addictions will be tested and old patterns of response and reaction will be activated as the false personality becomes threatened. Resist the temptation to medicate and dull the senses as this will only rob you of the Opening and the new spaces you could move into.

As new portals of the higher senses open and beckon, the void opens. If there is a willingness to go into the void and to really feel what is there, beautiful things can be created. However old instinctive fears of annihilation, of losing direction and control will activate stubbornness to put the brakes on to try and stop this forward movement. This inability to let go, surrender and give in could cause much misery, fatigue, depression and despair. Submission means “actively surrendering to”. Stubbornness is the fear of surrendering to something beyond your control; a fear of change. Spirit is daily showing you your life in very obvious ways and putting tests, experiences, bids for power and opportunities for growth in front of you. You just need to stop and listen, receive instructions with all your senses, trust, and to surrender to the flow of the river.

As we struggle with the balance between losing self in the void and staying focused, there can be much confusion this month regarding direction, structure, productivity and clarity. You may question whether you are being vulnerable, accepting and allowing or simply just depressed. You may question whether the emotion you feel belongs to you or to someone else. You may worry that nothing is getting done or that you are losing your mind. Because of the feminine nature of the month, many lessons, questions and answers will be supported by and come from the feminine. This is a very fluid time with the advantage of being non-fixed. This means that literally anything is possible as long as we surrender our attachments. It is a good idea to adopt a daily practice of noticing that the physical universe is not as fixed as it seems. Remind yourself of this often. Use your non-mental intuition and ask your greater feeling self to help with your questions and concerns. Remember that if it feels good, it is of spirit; if not, it is of the false personality. We need to move beyond how the mind has measured progress, productivity and success. It is important to stay out of judgment and simply Allow.

Watch for Self Destruction and self-destructive behavior this month. Self–Destruction can have a passionate dramatic side to it that gives the illusion that something is happening and that life is being lived to the fullest. This is an addiction to drama. We have the opportunity this month to truly experience another way, a more feminine, allowing and vulnerable way where simply putting your focus or attention on something allows it to happen without effort. It is the process of allowing rather than causing something that is alien to our western culture. The deep opening that is available to us this month is like going in deep into the well, an immersion into the feminine, into love and into deep healing. The price of admission is leaving the attachments behind; the attachments to the drama of pain, misery, suffering, wrongdoings and karma.

Desire plays a big part in the themes this month. Desire can lead to addictions if played negatively by the false personality. Desire born of unworthiness, competition, fear, or deprivation will never be satisfied. However, desire born of a deeper willingness to heal, to become more of spirit and to feel the connection of love and beauty, will easily be more than satisfied as the attention is being placed on the glass half full instead of half empty. There is no attachment to true desires aligned with spirit. There is only a deep sense of the feminine power of creativity and the acknowledgment of being a channel and vessel for love and beauty.

Abandonment and Entrapment

All fears and negative expressions of personality stem from either abandonment or entrapment. There is usually a primary one at work in any given personality. Stubbornness is connected to entrapment and the fear of entrapment. Being trapped by authority, other peoples decisions, anything out of your control, even your own plans and decisions when they turn out to be wrong. Entrapment stems from the illusion of not having a choice, creating the reaction of immobility as being the only choice available. For those who have stubbornness and even those of you who do not as a primary obstacle, this is an opportunity to work on eliminating it as an energy that is in the way of moving forward. Actively work with surrendering and submitting to a plan or agenda or decision that is not your own and trust that it will be OK. Look at your attachments especially to your mental constructs of who you are and how the world works and what position you hold in it. There is never a good reason to be stubborn. It is just fear talking. The deep wound of entrapment can be healed through the power of choice and creativity. Choose to surrender.

Self-destruction is the obstacle this year related to abandonment. Self destructive behavior stems from a disregard for the value of life, from a deep wound of being abandoned and therefore not worth keeping, not cherished, and not wanted. A willingness to value life, to surrender and trust love, to cherish beauty and creativity, can turn self-destructive behaviors around and heal the deep wound of abandonment. Watch the Martyrdom as it tries to seduce you into feeling sorry for yourself and as it tries to convince you to keep blaming events and people of the past for your misery. Abandonment and fear of abandonment often comes with a negative desire to try and fill what is missing. Unlike stubbornness that tends to push energies away, self-destruction draws them towards you in the form of addictions.

Beware of any self-pity, eliminate it ruthlessly and be willing to surrender to the void where the healing of creating other possibilities awaits you.

How to work with SURRENDER

YOU PERSONALLY

Stop fighting yourself, judging yourself, trying to figure yourself out, worrying about yourself, being absorbed in yourself, impatient with yourself, irritated with yourself, disappointed in yourself, confused about yourself, feeling sorry for yourself. This is an opportunity to shift the assemblage point of the self you have created up to this point. This may have you feeling “not like yourself”, a good thing. One way to insure this is to do something completely out of the ordinary and out of “character” for you. The deep personal healing of old wounds can often happen more easily and effectively if you are not so much on control of your environment and your patterns. When fear prompts you to medicate or run, be strong and stay with the process. Liberation is the reward. The opening into more of all the good things that life has to offer awaits you. So get out of the way and appreciate what spirit has in store. Allow yourself to feel in a deeper, fuller way with more of your senses engaged. Allow love and beauty into your life.

RELATIONSHIPS

Study how you are in relationship to others based on old wounds. Do you approach relationships from a fear of entrapment or a fear of abandonment? Work with acceptance, surrender and allowing for deep healing to take place. The healing of your relationship to these old wounds is also possible this month as you shift your relationship with yourself. Relationships in general this month can deepen into new levels of intimacy, communication and support. The feminine principle builds community and trust. Long withheld secrets may be exposed, shared and cleared. The challenge in relationships this month will be to keep them evolving positively while being sensitive around how much truth, surrender, trust, intimacy, love and support someone can handle at a time. Loneliness may also be an issue that will come up for review. If you have been alone, you will deeply desire connection. If you have been inundated with attention, you may need to get some personal space.

THE PHYSICAL PLANET

The planet continues to be chaotic on some levels, highly creative on others, destructive in some areas, in harmony and beauty in others. The physical planet will always support and mirror the internal lessons of humanity as we evolve. Look for the planet to continue to support relationships, compassion, love, and acceptance. It is always a good idea to surrender to what is, to see all natural events with neutrality, and to be accepting and flexible. Allow and appreciate the planet’s creative and destructive expression and be delighted with the power and beauty it represents.

BUSINESS, PROJECTS, PARTNERSHIPS, WORK, FINANCES

Success in these areas will depend on your willingness to surrender, to be flexible, to allow others to take the lead, and to be a team player. Relationships with others will be key. This is very much a month where you cannot do it alone. Community efforts are greatly rewarded as they will accomplish way more than anyone can by themselves. If you are used to working alone, making decisions alone, taking all the blame or responsibility alone, this may change this month. A cooperative time with communal responsibilities, projects, ideas and collaboration is the future. This can be a prosperous month as long as you are not attached to how. Imagine the feminine as a large pool of water and the masculine as a fish that swims towards something to catch it. We are used to gathering our resources and marking our successes by going after the prey. The feminine way is to float in the pond and wait for the gifts to come to you. They can come from any direction and in any volume, size or shape. They can surprise you from the back or the side. So allow for things to happen this month instead of trying to cause a result. It is better to focus on ideas and projects already in process than efforting to come up with new ones. Watch for what falls into your lap. It is probably something to pay attention to.

GLOBAL ISSUES, POLITICS

Lots of lessons to be learned here. Surrender is one of them. Compassion another. Taking responsibility yet another. The wheels of the collective move very slowly at the level you can experience results on the physical plane. The creative field of the collective however can move instantly, and chaotically. There is progress as we speak, we just don’t see it yet. It will seem that we may move in some areas towards a greater degree of separation, but that is an illusion. You will need to trust that all is happening as it should and according to the bigger picture. A river will often back track on itself in order to get to the final destination. So if it seems we are going backwards, we are not, it just seems that way. Keep doing your part in your own environment with your own politics at home and at work. The rest will fall into place.

DATES AND TIME FRAMES

February 1-6: A soft week. You may feel tired with a desire to rest. You may feel somewhat spaced out and unclear. You may feel drawn to community involvement. You may feel like you want to connect for support, contact, love. Surrender to allowing something other than your plans and your mind to direct how your days unfold. Leave room in your schedule for unpredictable events, surprises and spontaneity. At the same time it is important to keep some daily ritual or practice to keep you grounded. Focus on being creativity instead of doing creativity. Focus on and be around beauty and the feminine.

February 7: A time of Opening. Drop into the place of healing and moving beyond any wounding from the past that may be holding you back. Be around support and love. Nurture yourself in some way during this time. Watch for personality reactions of addictive behavior, fear, and escape. Surrender.

February 7-14: A good time for taking advantage of anything spirit brings you that gives you the opportunity for deep healing of old wounds. You may hear from long forgotten friends or relatives. You may be presented with opportunities for new relationships, experiences, possibilities for change. Be spontaneous and flexible, get out of the way and allow things to happen.

February 13: New Moon at 7:51 PM Mountain Standard Time. Set your desires with the intention of allowing instead of causing. Take time to be in gratitude and receive what comes.

February 14: Another day supporting a deep opening. Trust spirit and surrender. Trust what is in front of you without judgment. Allow your senses to become heightened. Fell yourself a channel for more love, beauty, creativity and healing.

February 15-21: Take stock of where you are, who you are with, what you are doing, how you are feeling. Your reality check should be a deeper sense of peace and surrender. You have the opportunity to experience life as calm and balanced and effortless. If this is not your experience, ask yourself why the addiction to drama? What is the attachment. Remember you are not giving up or failing or whimping out but rather choosing to surrender and give into what is already happening.

February 22-28: This could be a truly higher centered time of experiencing life more multi-dimensionally with a heightened sense of feeling. You could also be still battling stubbornness and self-destruction. Both are valid. Don’t dwell in the misery or get lost in the illusion of false personality. Just like when thrown off a horse. Get up and get back on the path of spirit.

February 28: Full moon at 9:38 AM Mountain Standard Time. Do something expansive to honor our opening and expansion. Do something different and unique and perhaps arranged by someone else (especially if you are stubborn) Spend time in acknowledging and cherishing life, beauty, the feminine and spirit.
