Full Long Night Moon
By Tara Sutphen

The Long Night "Blue" Moon at 10* Cancer will culminate December 31, 2009, 11:13am PST (farmers almanac). A Blue Moon is when there are two full moons in one calendar month. Also this moon will be a partial lunar eclipse, only visible to Europe, Asia & Africa. The Umbral shadow will cover 7.6 percent of the moon's surface. Eclipse's are about change or letting go, it can be to bring something exciting or illuminating into your life. The time of New Years Resolutions, you may as well be clear on your intentions and really be in the spirit of good and great change instead of letting life whip you around. We are in the darkest days of the year, dig deep within yourself and bring to the fore those dreams and desires. Your feelings and sentiments need to be examined to see where they block your life. How do emotions clog your ego. Is your ego stumbling these days. Are you able to accomplish in your everyday life. Where don't you feel good about yourself. Why are you letting these feelings hide instead of dealing with them and bringing them out to examine and rectify. Why wouldn't recognizing the lost and hurt feelings be enough to help us in life. Maybe they can. Perhaps it's kissing them better and putting them back deeply inside our soul as knowledge and wisdom. Conceivably it's about reactivating our trust.

Dig, Dig, Dig out those sordid agitating to despairing thoughts and wounds, it's your time to create your new ego and the base on which it rests. Where does your soul and your ego sit within you. Why is it not resting in the most comforting place. It should be on a glowing feather soft nest, not on a bed of nails. Did someone remark recently or long ago about your words or deeds - Call your self esteem back. Did someone wound your soul - Call back the shards and your confidence. Did someone not love you enough - Call your love back. Did you give too much to others and they didn't acknowledge or appreciate you - Call your expectations back. Did you fear - Call back your courage. Call back the lost parts of yourself, they are yours after all. You have come to create the best earth life you can, begin to activate your life-force and wholeness into your trust center. You give because it is an honor to give, you love because it is your legacy to have and to hold. Remember your mind is clear, there is no confusion. Bring back the lost parts of you.

Journal Questions:

What is your ego? How big is your ego? Is it as big as your soul? Or is your soul gigantic and your ego small? or vis-a-versa? Is your ego and soul balanced? How are they in harmony? Are you well balanced. Are you in disharmony ego and soul - wise? Are you personally out of control with your ego? Where? How? Why? What would bring you in balance? Why do you over compensate? Where do you feel less than? Where have you been wounded? Emotionally? Mentally? Physically? Soulfully? Who and what is to say that you are out of control? Be your best judge. Describe your ego and it's base connections? How do you protect yourself and your ego? How do you manipulate yourself or others? How do you gain favor or not? What are your motivations? And Why? Do you feel these are instinctual feelings and reactions? Or are they thought out with good planning and alertness? Where can you vivify your motivations? Where can you sooth your deepest sadness? And carol yourself back into awakening your longings? Where does knowledge and wisdom begin and end? Where will you use your wisdom? Or do you let your soul retain knowledge? Do you use good to great knowledge to further your primitive or radical ideas, thoughts or actions? Where do you risk? Are you clear what you want to gain? Bring the sorrows out, kiss them and put them away. They are meaningful, they can be comprehension in their highest form. Allow them to be thus. If you are to make progress, let it be now. No longer waiting for the right time.

24*Sagittarius New Moon
By Tara Sutphen

24* Sagittarius New Moon this month, culminating December 16, 2009 (Ephemeris). The Sagittarius new moon is about how to reach beyond your self imposed limitations to take the next step in learning and action. You want to flourish to an ideal in your environment, how you see yourself and how others react to you. As you gaze into a mirror, do others see the real you or the fake you. Who do you see. What is your next step. What might you like to learn. What would break you free of any confinement. This 24* Sagittarius aspect is positioned in the tail of the Scorpion, again we are looking at the depth of your ego, the depth of your placement in the world. Have you lost your way or just lost who you might be. How might you turn yourself around and find new direction of acquiring everything you dream. It could be one small step, it could be many steps...it could take effort. Why are you afraid to make the change. There are justifications and excuses but does that bring you to a solution. It's time for you to have results.What is the ideal on how others treat you. Have you taken that step to ever think about it. I'd like to say that you shouldn't care what others think. But on a subconscious or conscious level, there is always someone you care about impressing or controlling. True for all humans. We have some mechanism that says "Love Me", as a universal principle of one. You can feel alone, when really it's a viewpoint on how you affect others and living up to your ideal of a loving family member, a responsible friend, lover or parent, someone worthy of respect. Even if your trust has been fully broken by suffering, and for many this is the case. The glimmer is slight, it is with wisdom and mercy we carry compassion to reinforce the hope of change and growth for ourselves and for others.

As we go into a holiday time, where the offerings are sometimes misconstrued with societies push of consumerism. Not everyone is in a spirit of the whole. Remember to let go of your limitations, what is now will not be in 100 years. You will not have the opportunity to be with the people, places and things that you value or need to awaken for. There are tests, there is truth to be sought and gained. If you don't have resources, you have time and energy. And if you don't feel you have that you always have a smile. Stop feeling like 'things' will help the world. Only sentiments matter, it will be what we take with us when we leave the planet. Find peace within and create your world.

Journal Questions:

What is the real you? What is the fake you? How do you think that others see you? What are your strengths and weakness' that you see? What do other's see of your strength's and weakness'? Where do you allow others to affect you when it comes to making money? Or feeling overly responsible? or under responsible? What do you feel are your justifications and excuses on why you don't achieve? And achieve in what way? Money? Love? Happiness? Knowledge? Rest? Where do you feel trapped? Where do you feel free? What would make you feel worthy? What would make you feel free? What would make you feel good about yourself? How do you want to help yourself? How do you want to help others? Do you live in the right neighborhood? And why don't you? What holds you back from living in the environment you envision? How are you holding yourself back and why? Who holds you back and why? Who empowers you? Who tries to empower you, but you are afraid to take the advice or move into attainment? Is it guilt? Is it shame? Is it fear? Sometimes others see great things for you even though they can't move themselves into position of attainment. Why...write it all out. If you see your feelings on paper, you can recognize these limitations and begin to work to bring yourself into balance. Balance being your mind meets your communication skills meets your actions. You don't just think it, you speak it, and then, you live it....Think, Speak & Live.

Full Cold Moon
By Tara Sutphen

The Cold Moon at 10* Gemini will culminate December 2, 2009. A reprieve from over exerting yourself, it's time to be in your head again and make plans on what direction you need to move in. It's not about what others need, it's about you. Communicating what is in your mind and what is in your heart. How will you focus and be successful on your goals. During these holidays make a personal wish for yourself. Write it down, express it in some way...discuss it with your best friend, or a confidante. Move your ideas and solutions into your mind and let the words come into your voice, access and decipher what is good for you. To speak it, makes it real. Note it as a direction.

Many times we communicate our ideas and others do not hear. Do we speak them over and over and others aren't listening or are we not activating ourselves to be heard. It's time to move our very essence into getting the life that makes us happy and healthy. This month is all about communication and coming into a #1 position. You are not a second class citizen waiting for entry, you are already here. Recognize what it is you want and why you want it, is it good for you and why. And does it move you into being successful and attaining security and contentment. Fulfilling your life is a blessing, stop thinking you are looking for something that is non attainable such as a job that you are unwilling to work for, or not listening to healthy choices for your ultimate health and well being. You can't wish for things and expect that they happen magically, it does take some planning and then executing those intentions. Are you ready to move into a wonderful life...or are you just in the pre-planning stages.Why are you stalling. What holds you back.You can't talk it and not live it. As the holidays come, plan to make the best of them. Plan to speak kindly, adjust your attitude and release expectations, as life isn't always the most fair, if you live your own truth you will gain abundance on many levels. Decipher delicate matters so that you clear them out of your path. It's your time for genuine revelation as the New Year approaches. Barriers are overcome if you can recognize what holds you down and keeps you from being your ultimate best self.

Journal Questions:

Where am I saying one thing and doing another? Why am I blocking my own potential? What is my potential? Where have I thought I'm moving in a direction only to find myself in a terrible situation? Explain the situations? Career? Love? Health? What do I feel I'm doing right? What am I feeling I'm doing wrong? Where do I access my plans? Who do I communicate with? Who is my confidante's? Why do I run my problems past these people? Do they help me to understand? Do I feel empowered? Do I feel weak? Do I feel I need to work this hard at gaining footing in my life? What do I do when I am gaining clarity of purpose? Do I feel I live in the right place? Do I feel I have the right job? Do I feel I have the right love life? Do I feel I have the right health? Clearing my mind...who do I best talk to on all these subjects? Who gives me insight? Why do I feel the insight and advice is clear? I know I should make reasonable plans so that my life easily flows in an orderly fashion. I want to talk my walk and walk my talk. Am I truth or folly? Explain. This is my time on the planet? Activation! How do I best do that?

The Harvest Moon at 11* Aries will culminate at October 4, 2009 03.11/03:11 AM PST (ephemeris)
This is a month to take action. You've been emotionally clearing your fears and problems for awhile and now is the time to take steps to activate your life force and your stamina. You move your physical body to attend to desires, allowing solutions as you extradite problems. Even if you've been in a morass of confusion, this is a time to make your way out of it. If you are physically sick, do something about it. Make a decision on treatment and move in a direction of wellness. If you have been struggling with money, it is time to access your situation and move into proactive movement. What area of your career or job is not getting you anywhere, take a step in either achievement or stability. Be clear on what you need. Are you satisfied or struggling in your love relationships, what needs to be changed, are they realistic compromises and fixable changes or do you need to be honest with yourself in some area. It may not be the other person, it could be you. Face it, either fix the problem by communicating on a real level or being honest with yourself. If you have children, move into constructive parenting. Basically it's all about fixing your problems in the now...not putting them off for another time.

You don't need to be enthusiastic or aggressive, you only need be assertive. Why are you leading a mediocre existence? You don't want to have 10 to 10,000 regrets on your way out. Maybe you wish your family, community, your city, your country, or the world were different. Instead of complaining or feeling helpless, what can you do to to make a difference? Your family, lovers or friends can be inconsistent, and maybe even mismatched with you. Incompatibility can create confusion and feelings of being alone or lost. Maybe you are not the only one having these thoughts, they could be having a similar experience with you. Everyone wrestles with their likability, their lovablity, and their capability. There is a difference with matters that are truly important and trivial pursuits.What matters on your personal roster is your health, your career or job, your love relationships, your family and friends, your spirituality, your contentment and your happiness. That is the course rules without solid directions . We don't get everything right, not everyone lives up to our expectations, but we begin again. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, dust off and gain determination.

Journal Questions:

How is your life? What do you like about it? What would you like to change? Where would you like to live? What job or career do you want? Why don't you have that job now if you work at something else. Explain why you don't have the job you most desire? Do you know what job you most desire? What could you do to make your job more fulfilling? What attitude do you carry around most of the time? Too busy, mad, sad, smiley, goofy, sullen, quiet or another attitude? Approachable or Unapproachable? Do you carry this attitude at home or only in the work place? Are you the same personality in both places? What are your areas of procrastination? What do you resist? Who do you resist? Do you step into action? Delegate well? or Ignore work, home life and slowly get it handled? What matters of your job or employment are frustrating you at this time? How do you solve your problems? Do you curse and blow up, calmly start handling the problem, sulk or ? Take one issue at a time --- write the issue, then write a solution or what could be a solution for you if it were possible. Financially I see myself as stable? Do I make solid financial solutions? Do I have a knack for good decisions regarding money? Am I well versed in what I want and why I want it. Do I take great care in handling my money? If you haven't handled your money well -- When did your financial problems begin? Why do you worry about money? Does this affect your health or make you anxious? Money is always a fixable situation. It could take effort, there might not be a fast solution to some money issues, but there could be patience added into an equation. Budget money so that living comes first. It's important to pay for your shelter and a vehicle, food, next then... all the extras. If you are living beyond your means, take time to access your situation. You don't need to waste your time keeping up with the Jones. Gain a quality life that brings you contentment. And if you have the ability to leap of course do so, but know when you need to take a rest from overtaxing your time, resources or energy. Write out your budget? Fix what needs to be done around your living area. Start taking care of the kids, your parents, or your pets better? Write down how you can help your family or pets. Step up and take responsibility. Also know when you are doing too much. When have you done something for yourself lately? What hobbies do you like? Make a schedule and add the hobbies or self care to the schedule. Add romance and quiet time. This is your path and journey and it's time to create the life you want to live.
