Full Snow Moon















Full Snow Moon
By Tara Sutphen

The Snow Moon at 29* Leo will culminate Feb 18, 12:36am pst/ 3:36am est (almanac) This moon is about being powerful and ambitious. It can rock the boat as all of a sudden you feel carefree and reckless. Aquarius allows you to perceive the vision and Leo is taking claim. Normality seems lifeless and boring. Drama may take hold of your heart or your words. Shaking up the status quo, your desire to have what you want and not knowing why you sometimes want it. Many times what we desire seems out of reach.
Why don’t we always go after what we want. We can find ourselves in dead end jobs, unhappy relationships, un daunting incidents and we certainly know how we got there but did we take one wrong turn and it keeps leading to bad and bitter circumstance’s. Where’s the correct road to move towards the destiny that ultimately labels ‘perfection’. How does one get back on track. Is it the shake up or are you looking to gain perspective, the first application might be to recognize that something is wrong. Look at the good and bad happening in your life. If you aren’t making money, gaining love or happiness, what can you do if you are stuck.
Life is a bit of a puzzle, the pieces to complete the picture will be different for everyone. But there is a common thread of decency and human dignity. Abiding by the laws of the earth are foremost the path of fulfilling contentment. Those laws are free flowing boundary integration, there is enough light to make things grow – but what happens when things grow too big with power or greed. There is enough water to sustain everyone and everything also land to appreciate and care for – but what about pollution. There are children to love and help prosper – but how do we handle problems. Everything we are allowed to fix, develop and accomplish are gifts. We forget we are a living miracle and must try and stay conscious to that fact. We have a capacity to have faith in ourselves.

13* Aquarius New Moon





















13*Aquarius New Moon
By Tara Sutphen

13* Aquarius New Moon (no moon – starry dark sky, the time of dreaming), culminating February 3, 2011. This Aquarius New Moon is about how you envision the future for yourself. Your destiny will enfold as your mind, voice and actions dictate. We can be in situations that we think or wish we didn’t put ourselves in. Do you stay stuck in the past, wishing for things to be different, speaking of days gone by, or converse of pain to dissect over and over. We want to tap into our emotions and feelings but we have to know when to let things go. Moving on and growing from the lessons that we’ve endured, making them “work for us instead of against us” time for newness and future possibilities. We have patterns and cycles, where sometimes we put ourselves and others down, or have a bleak outlook, instead of sparking conversation of ideas, hobbies and events. You know what hasn’t worked before. You may not tap into what doesn’t work for you, but you know, because it’s the pain and uneasy feelings. It’s the confusion and the chaos. It’s the anger and low self-esteem. Sometimes we don’t allow our best selves to shine, carrying neglect deep in our hearts and soul. Feeling unworthy to eat well, or to keep strong, disappointments bring judgment on ourselves and the people around us. And other people can spark that harshness. For others can break your heart if you allow them to do so, or make you cry in bitterness or anguish.
Do you put yourself in last place for everything, ie. love, money, food, fun, laughter, friendship, happiness. You may want and need to share, but be resourceful and good to yourself. Keeping a good attitude and changing to conscious behavior is a start…you can now begin to burst forth – just as spring in a few months. It’s easy to get stuck with the expectations of others and self-denial, it’s easy to fall into a rut and not make any moves to get out of the situations that have you programmed. How do you expect your life to look like, feel like, and be. It’s time to dream and speak of the future and move slowly in that direction.
You’ll need to take action, nothing overt, assess gentleness, resolve feelings and start to flow with facts. As daily we can accumulate more worry, paralyzing fear and uneasy feelings. All problems have solutions. Clarification brings sound resolution. Every day make a little effort to work at solving a problem or issues, adding a personal goal and aspiration. You don’t need to stumble anymore, feel guilty or pent up. Stay steady to being responsible to your life and others is important. We live up to being a good son or daughter, we live up to being a good father or mother, we live up to being a good friend, we live up to taking care of our loved ones, we live up to being part of a community, we live up to our better self if we allow ourselves to do so.
The sky is the limit, there are no barriers. Limitations are self-imposed. Stand up and breathe freedom. Breathe deep again and enrich your self-esteem. Breathe all the way to the bottom of your stomach. You can progress, cast away recklessness, abandonment, burdens or restless apprehension. Breathe in Life.

They say Money isn’t grown on trees, but it is made easily…the earth is full of bounty and blessings and they are yours by birthright. It’s all about creating the live you long to live.

“There is no such thing as chance; and what seem to us merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny.”
