24* Libra New Moon
By Tara Sutphen

24* Libra New Moon this month, culminating October 18, 2009 (Ephemeris). The Libra new moon is about balance and beauty. The new moon represents quiet in darkness. Time to start being gentle on yourself. Free yourself from would have's, could have's and should have's and start creating the stress free life you need. It starts with you. Where does it say you have obligations out of control to live happily. It's time to slow down, smell some roses, or look out at an inspiring vista, or write in your journal. Take some me time. True beauty, both men and women comes from the heart and is seen in someone's eyes and smile. It is your soul.

Stress has been a big challenge for many people. There are many demands from family, friends, jobs, schools, banks, bills, and the community. No wonder people don't have time to get involved in world projects. Or can't think straight or eat well. We want to someday look back on our live's and see how we lived, did we risk enough, did we love enough, did we really live, did we seek to remain beautiful, did our sense of childhood wonder remain. Is our spirit intact.

A being is not allowed to break your spirit. They could try, but it is yours and only your spirit. It will be whole if you want it whole. You make an effort to find yourself vibrating on that higher level of being. I use the sound of the earth to match the sound with my own. That always works to bring you into balance. No use crying over spilled milk, it's time for fixable solutions in life. Bounty and Blessings are yours by birthright. Beauty is yours to behold, it's not societies model of beauty as you know there is wonder all around you. Time to step up your mojo. Be the fabulous you.

Journal Questions:

Where am I wasting my time and energy? Do I need to make myself a schedule? What might I miss out on if I don't take the time now? Where do I needlessly do errands? Where am I hard on myself? Where have I lost my Mojo? Where is my beauty or handsomeness? Where can I find it? What steps do I do for a fixable solution? Where is my balance? Am I irritated by little things? What am I irritated by? Answer Why.... after each irritation. Where can you find balance with these irritations? There is a quick fix solution, give yourself one for each. Anger is not an option, if you are feeling outraged and abused, it's time to take steps to alleviate that feeling and situation. Where do you deserve that life or karma? Work it out in your head, why is this situation stifling my life and how can I fix it? Why do I care take others who abuse me? What is really going on with my life? Take steps to change.

Anchor yourself with keywords, such as "opportunity or balance or a little meditation, such as the one I lead on the gold coins for 10 seconds. Ground yourself. For that 10 seconds if you don't see the coins, know the coins are there or feel them. I have you stand on coins to bring prosperity on all levels into your life, no dissension and failure. You are a clear thinking human, there is no confusion.
