Moon Enters Cancer & Mercury/Saturn Conjunction in Virgo & Leo Sun Opposition Neptune (August 16- 17, 2009)

I love astrology because of its elegance and practicality! You don’t even have to believe into it, to take advantage of it.

My practical approach as a Taurus is: Try it out, see if it serves you and then decide if you want to deepen your relation with astrology. In my personal experience with over 31 years of astrology in my life and those of my clients the value is beyond mere believe. You can test it and see how it applies in your life. By doing so you turn your attention inwards, learn more about yourself and gain more awareness and compassion for your predicament as a human being incarnated. It might help you to relax more into who you are, with all the parts you don’t like about yourself and maybe even love yourself more unconditionally.

I often watched that relaxation happening to clients when I name the struggles and seemingly non- complementary aspects of their personality. There is some magic in facing and naming the truth! Not only do we have more choices then about how to deal with the situation, but we also come to accept what is and the present moment.

I accept where I am and then focus on where I rather want to go! Like Abraham-Hicks is saying: “Worrying is using your imagination to create something you don't want.”  I use astrology and especially the Lunar Astrology to imagine the best and align myself with the universal forces and take action along those lines.

Lunar Astrology
Following the lunar astrology with the Moon moving through the signs of the zodiac is one way of fine tuning my perception of my emotional journey throughout the month. It brings me in touch with the impermanence of life and especially of my emotions. It helps me to not take myself so serious and adjust my conscious thoughts to the highest level of the potential of each sign.

When the Moon is entering her home sign Cancer, our mood turns more inwards. It is a waning Moon of only 28 % of the Full Moon. We might feel more vulnerable because we are more open and in contact with our feelings. This weekend is a good time to spend time with your family, call your parents, and celebrate your connectedness and love.

The Inner Home of Cancer
Cancer is the sign of home and family; the place where we feel connected by our history and blood ties and hopefully by love. Cancer represents our inner and outer home, our inner roots, and our inner emotional foundations. What do we need to feel safe and loved? How much closeness or nourishment do we need from others? What kind of an outer home and family have we created because of that?

Moon in Cancer will show us our emotional needs and desires. It might also make us vulnerable to feel the places in us where we have been wounded, abused and not nourished in our childhood. We might carry those hurts and conditionings with us maybe all our lives and once in a while, like with Moon in Cancer, it will be more accessible for conscious reflection, awareness and because of that for some degree of healing.
Let yourself feel your own gentleness, needs and find that loving, compassionate place for yourself and others in your life.

Moon in Cancer is one of those times when we have more access to that inner world!
Remember the journey always starts from where you are. Feeling that inner world with awareness is the first step to healing and growth of any kind. So let us have a look what else is going on in the heavens with Mercury and Saturn in Virgo.

Mercury/Saturn Conjunction in Virgo: The Analyzer and Organizer
The sun is in Virgo in August 23–Sept 22. The ruling planet is Mercury, the element is earth and the gender is feminine.    

By September the summer Sun is fading, and crops are ready to be harvested. Virgos have none of the fiery dominance of their summer predecessor, the Lion. They are reserved people who don’t boast about themselves or behave flamboyantly. They are quietly reliable, attending to the smallest details of any project in an organized way, making them good lawyers, doctors, and scientists. That trait can be carried to a fault when they fail to see the bigger picture. They are more intelligent and analytical than emotional, which serves them well in complex tasks but may prevent them from establishing deep relationships. Virgos are practical people, good with their hands, and combining those qualities with their attention to detail they could excel in professions as jewelers and dentists.

With Mercury in its own sign and in conjunction with the tough taskmaster Saturn, they will give us a very literal minded view of the world, focusing onto the concrete details, trying to make sense out of it, putting things into perspective. It also might make us aware of fears and anxieties we have buried.

This conjunction might serve you well for your studies and dealing with the facts of life. But it might also narrow the focus of your mind into too much micromanagement and you might loose the connection with your dreams and intentions and get lost along the way with actions without inner guidance.

This conjunction is helpful in many ways to get concrete things done, but you need your inner connection to the divine and your bigger vision in your life to feel juiced and joyful about where you are and where you want to go. Remember your journaling to touch into that inner place to renew your spirit and strengthen your heart!

The Leo Sun in Opposition with Neptune
And the good news is we still have the optimisms of the Leo energy at our hands. And the opposition with Neptune, the dreamer and visionary will be serving us to stay connected to that inner world of creativity and nourishment for our soul. I love Neptune and how he always manages to fuel our dreams and our hopes for a better, more loving life.

Astrology Touches into the Mystery of Life
Here is part of an email I got this morning from a good friend Yolanda who is also an astrologer and Diamond Heart Approach teacher. It was a response to finding out and reading my blog for the first time. It is so poetic that I want to share it with you!

“It is such a good way of life, to follow the stars and our inter-related connections with the energies of our solar system and beyond into the bigger galaxies. So you have truly turned into being a teacher of astrology. Congratulations!

I often feel the Stillness of the vast Black luminous Grand Sky that our planet is moving in so smoothly and mysteriously. It makes me think of the perfect womb, the Grand Dark Sky and the womb being our planet, our home. What are we together birthing?  And on the day time, the Grand Light Sky seems so perfectly matching the Living Day Light, as we know it in our Diamond teaching…”

A good Life!
Yes, it is a good life we got. And with it the chance to create ourselves anew every moment if we are willing to let go of old, rigid structures in our mind and embrace new thoughts and beliefs. The truth as we know it is only our truth of the moment, nothing more. There is only our very personal angle of perception of the truth. And if we are aware of that we will have an easier time to accept change in our life without struggle and pain; instead welcome it as part of the big mystery.

For me astrology is an open invitation to understand more about the truth in the universal flow and use it to my advantage for a fuller, more successful and joyful life.

If you like my astrological musings I invite you to find more on my Astrological Signs Weather Report & Healing Gems Blog for a regular update on the universal flow in the heavens.

Would you (pretty please) critique my song, "The Birth of a God"?

The rhythm is hard to find at first, but it goes 13, 10, 13, 10 and so on.

The Birth of a God
-------------------------
A smaller strain of consciousness forms my galaxies
Varied sentience, synergisic in me
The guise of self is cancer causing disunity
Spatial bodies, microcosms repeat

Our source of life evolving over time to get through
Double helix, whispered secrets in you
Those paranoid and predatory veiling the truth
Mind controlling, and distracting on cue

Another hidden presence communicating in dreams
Conscience crying, ego dying in me
A timeless influence from Nod is piercing through sleep
The overmind, underlying all things.

Some crucial mysteries maintained outwardly unpursued
Space is yawning, spawning questions in you
The ruling hand of sheperds weeding out the confused
Inquisition, the imposition we choose
jerryguy - No. If thats supposed to be an insult, you can do better than that?.

Is this a joke?
