April 26, 2006

Greetings,

I have found Dan Millman's book, The Life You Were Born to Live, an extraordinary work. In the chapter on the Law of the Present Moment he states, "Time doesn't exist; what we refer to as past and future have no reality except in our own mental constructs. The idea of time is a convention of thought and language, a social agreement; in truth, we only have this moment... All we have to do is make the most of relaxing into and embracing this moment, and put one foot in front of the other, as we handle what appears right now, one moment, one step at a time."

Wow, if we could all just get this one principle we could find so much peace and contentment. Let's try the next two weeks to be more in the present and to discern what that truly means. It is one thing to hear the concept and another to understand how it works for us individually.

Have a wonderful and peaceful 2 weeks,

Wendy Cicchetti

NEW MOON IN Taurus (08 degrees ) 12:45 pm PDT, Thursday, April 27, 2006.

A New Moon moves energy in powerful ways at the very depth of our being. This phase is never visible as the Sun's light hides the moon. So, conception takes place in the dark, like a seed germinating below the surface of the earth. This is an excellent opportunity to set new intentions which are quickened by the pull of the Moon. Plants grow more quickly and ideas and intentions also germinate more rapidly at this time. What do we want to cultivate now? Taurus represents the desire for value and worth. How's our self-esteem? Do we live in accordance with our core values? As the first earth sign, Taurus has the spiritual task to establish a healthy relationship to the Earth in all its forms, neither grasping at nor rejecting the challenges of life.

This New Moon forms a fixed grand cross, an energy configuration that activates long-standing patterns and issues. Fixed crosses have the effect of an irresistible force meeting an immovable object: Events conspire to eradicate the things that are holding us back. This grand cross pushes us to release whatever is not in alignment with our essence. Jupiter at 15° Scorpio is opposite the Sun and Moon, encouraging us to explore our deepest motivations and assumptions. What do we want more than anything? What are we afraid of? Fear is always a result of a limited perspective; it's easier to move on when we can see the bigger picture. Saturn at 5° Leo squares Jupiter (widely) as well as the Sun and Moon, advising us to be our own judge and authority and to concentrate on what's closest to our hearts. Chiron in Aquarius opposes Saturn and squares the Sun, Moon, and Jupiter, reminding us that the truer we are to ourselves, the more power we have to change the world. To get an idea of how much each person can affect the world, read David Hawkins's Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior; according to his system, the level of one's consciousness can affect thousands or even millions of people, with unconditional love being the most powerful agent of change.

Venus, the Goddess of Love and the traditional ruler of Taurus, is in Pisces, the sign of unconditional love and acceptance. Venus in Pisces encourages us to base our lives on spiritual rather than material values. How would we live if we knew that everything is interdependent and interconnected? What would we do if we realized that all matter is conscious, from the cells in our bodies to the plants and rocks of the Earth to the planets and galaxies? Venus at 24° Pisces is approaching a square to Pluto at 27° Sagittarius, making it easier to open our hearts and minds. Jupiter, the ruling planet of Sagittarius, is close to trining Uranus at 14° Pisces (exact on May 5th), facilitating breakthroughs and creative solutions to long-standing problems.

Take an inventory. What possessions or habits are not getting you anywhere? Use your body as a barometer as you look at your life; watch when your muscles relax or tighten and whether your energy level goes up or down. We each inhabit a very sensitive instrument; trust it to determine what belongs in your life now. "We can know truth through body, through the heart and feelings as well as through the intuitive mind. The discovery of personal truth becomes an exploration of body, mind, and soul. When you experience [the] truth of knowingness you will know it, your whole being will know it, for knowingness is recognized by all levels of our beingness." (Christa Faye Burka)

Opportunity Periods are a wonderful tool to maximize our efforts. Opportunity Periods reflect favorable aspects of the Moon. The energies of the Moon impact us in a very direct way. Using the positive energies that the Moon showers upon the Earth, to our benefit, makes good sense. Opportunity Periods have proven to provide helpful energy to non routine tasks. If you feel like you are always going against the grain and things are stressful, try using these time periods for more easily accomplishing important tasks: purchases, repairs, client appointments, sales calls, important phone calls, finishing goals, starting new projects, tying up loose ends, starting new relationships ( except when Venus is Retrograde), job hunting, doctor visits, family meetings, etc. The list of OP's for the next two weeks are listed under the calander section of this update.

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 do you want to break free from the norm and become more productive and discerning? The NEW MOON is the time to manifest the personal attributes you want to cultivate as well as the tangible things you want to bring to you. Possible phrasing: I now manifest ____ into my life. I am now _______ . Remember, think, envision and feel with as much emotion as possible, 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, visuals and emotions. The Buddha said, and I am paraphrasing, "We are the sum total of our thoughts up to today. " If we want to be different than 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.
