Greetings,

As we witness so much change and destruction in the world, it is wise to contemplate wisdom from many sources and cultures. I am including here some excerpts from "Return Of The Bird Tribes" by Ken Carey

We are the Bird Tribes. And we are returning. We are here to teach you how to fly….

White Buffalo Calf Woman speaks…
“My tribe is the Fire Bird…I am one of the Bird People,
whose tribe once covered this Island of the Turtle.
Do you remember the Winged Ones of heaven?
The Fire Birds? The Thunder Tribes?
How long has it been since you called to us in your councils?…
Your people have forgotten…that which is more precious than water.
You have forgotten your connection with Great Spirit.
I have come…with a fire from heaven to kindle again your memory
of what has been and to strengthen you for the times to come.

Listen to our inner guidance regardless of what is going on in our external world especially when it doesn’t make rational sense. White Buffalo Calf Woman reminds us “Creation does not take place where there is a scattering and dissipation of energies. Creation requires a gathering together and focusing of your power within a circle of commitment – like a seed, an egg, a womb or a marriage. If you would create and not destroy, you must remember to consider wisely the ways in which you would use your power and then around those ways draw the sacred circle of commitment. In the warm atmosphere of that circle, the power of love builds and builds like a storm above the wet summer prairie until suddenly the circle can hold no more and explodes in the conception of the new.”

We invite all of you to do the sacred work of creating a better future for yourselves and thereby rediating your light outwards to humanity as a whole.

With Love and Gratitude to all.

NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS (20 DEGREES)

February 8, 2:29 pm PST
In astrology, there are power times - periods when we can shift our perceptions and move in new directions with less effort. New Moons are power times. Use the power time of the New Moon to tune into, clarify, and affirm your deepest desires.

What is your wish list for the New Moon in Aquarius? Aquarius is the sign of the future, of going beyond the norm, of freedom from convention and constraint.
Aquarius is the sign of the rebel and the revolutionary, the weird and the wacky, the activist and the avantgarde, the inventor and the iconoclast. Everyone has the sign of Aquarius somewhere in the chart. The more affinity you have with Aquarius and its ruling planet, Uranus, the more of a visionary and nonconformist you need to be. It's not an easy task. Aquarians pay a price for being ahead of their time - ridicule and worse, persecution or isolation.

Chiron, the archetype of the Wounded Healer, is about to enter Aquarius for the first time in 50 years and will remain there until 2011. His six-year transit through Aquarius signals a time of healing for the black sheep, mavericks, and oddballs of the world. We can make the journey from outcast to catalyst, from being against the old order to being for the new. Chiron transiting through Aquarius draws off the bandages from our wounds of alienation and shows us where we still hide, hedge, and kowtow. We are all different, but we are all a necessary part of the whole. Healing happens when we come out of the closet and connect with other black sheep, other progressive thinkers and doers.

During this New Moon you might ask yourself: Where have I gone wrong? When did I stop listening to my feelings and yearnings? What price have I paid? This New Moon invites us to remember what really matters and to go for it. "I'd rather be a failure at something I enjoy than be a success at something I hate." (George Burns)

Wednesday, February 9th. The Chinese New Year of the Wood Rooster officially starts today. The following poem describes Rooster Energies…..

I am on hand
To herald in the day,
And to announce its exit.
I thrive by clockwork and precision.
In my unending quest for perfection
All things will be restored to their rightful place.
I am the exacting taskmaster.
The ever-watchful administrator.
I seek perfect order in my world.
I represent unfailing dedication.
I am the Rooster.

PLAN YOUR OWN NEW MOON CEREMONY. Give yourself some quiet time in meditation to see where you need to seed new ways of becoming. List these areas within your life you want to change. What areas of your life do you want to break free from the norm and become the inovator? The NEW MOON is the time to manifest the attributes and things you want to bring to you. Possible phrasing: I now manifest ____ into my life. I am now _______ . Remember, think and envision as though you already have what you want. Thoughts are things and the brain manifests exactly what you show it in the form of thoughts and visuals about yourself. The Buddha said, and I am paraphrasing, "We are the sum total of our thoughts up to today. " If we want to be different then we must change our thoughts. "If you always do what you've always done then you'll always get what you've always got." CONSCIOUS CHANGE is the key.

FAR SIDE OF THE SUN: Remember giant sunspot 720? On Jan. 20th it exploded, sparking bright auroras over Europe and the most intense proton storm in15 years. Since then the 'spot has been transiting the far side of the sun, carried around by our star's 27-day rotation.

Although sunspot 720 is on the sun's far side now, it's not out of sight. Using a technique called helioseismic holography, solar physicists can take pictures of the sun's far side--and they've seen sunspot 720 there. If the active region holds together a while longer, it could turn to face Earth again in early- to mid-February.

COMET MACHHOLZ: With the bright Moon waning, now is a good time to see Comet Machholz again. Step outside after sunset and face north. You'll find the comet near the W-shaped constellation Cassiopeia. It looks like a faint fuzzball, barely visible to the unaided eye but an easy target for binoculars or a small telescope.
