SAGITTARIUS LUNAR CYCLE
November 27 - December 26, 2008

Lighten up. ALL the planets are moving in direct motion till the end of the year giving you a clear path to celebrate and get in touch with your bigger picture.

The Sun, Moon, Mars, and Mercury line up in optimistic spiritually expansive Sagittarius at the time of the November 27th Thanksgiving New Moon.

Last month showed you it's time to leave the past behind and take a giant step. Now you must question your beliefs and assumptions... take that quantum leap and advance your private dreams.

Lucky Jupiter rules while finishing his year-long journey through responsible achievement-oriented Capricorn underscoring the need to commit the time and patience to make that bigger picture a solid vision with practical goals and steps.

A Full Moon in Gemini on Dec. 12th at 8:13 PM PST is the 5th and final SuperMoon of the year making it unusually powerful and declaring you've come to another crucial crossroads. Truth in action along with community and cooperation are important parts of the big changes you're making.

The Winter Solstice on Dec. 21st gives you a license to relax and celebrate the change to winter in the northern hemisphere and summer for those of you down under.

Upsides of this energy are enthusiasm, honesty, a sense of adventure, an open mind and generous spirit. Downsides are judgment, self-righteousness, tactlessness and excess. The key to the high side?...Allow all feelings, thoughts, and beliefs to be guided by your greater power.

Prepare to stretch your heart and mind, so you can aim high as you begin your list of intentions for a new "2" year.

Anything's possible...it depends on what you believe.

There is a baby Tyra and Michael headed into the world today. All of my thoughts and energy are directed that way. KU beat Missouri in football today, surprising everyone and winning me $20! It is snowing in Kansas. I am jealous. Although I do not want to deal with snow in seattle, it is nice to imagine snow falling outside the window...

number

I was at subway tonight getting a sandwich and i looked at my phone, anxious to see who had called and the wifi options of the area popped up on my screen. usually these networks have names like ninjapirate, nordic, galactica etc. Tonight there was one called longdistanceloveaffair. So nice.

leave a light on.

I love the feeling in the air the last week of November through the first of the year. Something feels different. Heavier. At the same time; lighter, happier. Somehow more meaningful. It makes me take deep breaths. and tear up more. and laugh harder. and care more about important things. and less about stupid things. like all of a sudden things are clear.

I know now that there is no one thing that is true - it is all true.
Ernest Hemingway

I happen to now know that Hemingway lived with a colony of 6 toed cats. If you've ever seen one of these then you know it always looks like they are wearing mittens. and in fact, that is very cute.
