Prelude to a theme…

Magic_Square_Equation

Today we set sail from an old world to a new vision. The transition or journey is already a current of energy running through us, pulling us like a tow rope.

Beginning in the Solar year on February 4, 2103 the Annual Flying Stars (magic square) are said to fly home.

This means the luck stars (number patterns) will align with the original grid that rotates every 10 years in a short cycle. The luck stars will be aligned with the universal directions in the origins of the Taoist zodiac animals.

This alignment dates back over 4000 years in Earth’s history and resets the clock. When the luck stars fly home they increase their luck potency.

Quote: “The Shēngxiào (Chinese: 生肖), better known in English as the Chinese Zodiac, is a scheme, a systematic plan of future action, that relates each year to animal and its reputed attributes, according to a 12-year mathematical cycle.” unquote.

Each of the 12 zodiac signs (animals not constellations) will have their primary number align in it’s home palace.

The “home palace” position (location of the compass) resonates with it’s own essential element (5 elements) and makes the luck stars more fortunate and long lasting. They add, rather than subtract, since they replicate. Life will click into “place” and the pieces will fit together, better than ever.

Quote: “Precession results in Western astrology’s zodiacal divisions not corresponding in the current era to the constellations that carry similar names,[3] while Jyotiṣa measurements still correspond with the background constellations.[4]”” unquote.

In the zodiac signs of the Tao (12 animals, symbols) signs (symbols) do not get lost or migrate away (as the standardized, star constellations do from our planets view) it is a stationary system. It names the slots, not the spots.

The zodiac animals signs of the Tao don’t move, time moves around them. So in this way they are a reliable system to attune with, in-the-now, so long as they are properly progressed.

Jupiter, known as the “Grand Duke” in the Chinese pantheon predates China becoming unified as a country by thousands of years and is currently (actually -as a physical planet) in the sign of the Horse.

It will move to the Goat sign next year in 2013. The system is now two whole signs ahead (on the elliptic and on the compass) of where it is being celebrated as coming into the snake. In reality of the now, that is already past.

It is already gone from that sign a few years back. So those of you who like to be progressive, connected and authentic in your practices of earth nature and her cycles can stay ahead of the game by getting properly aligned.

You need to know where you are, to find where you are going.

The animal symbols are not transitory like the Western Greek based astrology system. A system that is tied to migrating constellations -or the Hindu sidereal system (unhinged from our planets elliptic.)

These animal signs are symbols (with character references) that align to correspond with our (transitory) pole star and our compass points.

They are said to “stand guard” for that reason and watch or “gua-yin” “watch-over” space in time. This story creates myth and manifests reality in the tapestry that is life.

And when properly realigned (adjusted for drift and procession) to move ahead with the equinox procession (Earth’s clock) the patterns that we have in “actuality” (or actualization of realization, in the now) bring us full circle.

Full circle into the “here and now” to engage us in our world, in a new and progressively, meaningful and dynamic ways. We will have new super powers.

Next-up: I’ll be posting your Lucky Stars & Signs for the new moon cycle, in the Rat sign, on 12/13. This is a potent and powerful moon cycle for emerging with anything, new-new and for revivals and being reborn.

Pig Centric

Pig Centric

& Saturn’s rings are now making this new-world very pig-centric for the next 2.5 years so we can chat about that, too! Along with that are the details on the Holy Navel alignment of our galaxy with the center of the universe on the Winter Solstice, 12/21, 2012.

Space Frontiers:

Space Junk 3D

How far in space did we go? Take a look at our tell-tale, trail and you’ll know. We seem especially good at atmospheric pollutants. What burns, quicker, faster, longer and without residue than oil? I’m maybe a lone wolf but I believe it will be in the realm of magnetism, metals &/or the bio-power of creatures.

Bio-power is creature energy, like with cats. I’ve seen cats (and other creatures do marvelous feats of fancy) attack each other and while in mid-air they barely touch one another. Whiskers aligned.. and in that moment Shazzam! Each cat instantly flies off in completely opposite directions from one another. So what powerful supply of energy allows creatures to defy gravity in such a way? Or a lizard, lazily hangs around in mid air above us.

These are each magnetic moments in a magnetic field. Maybe that is why it looks, feels and sounds like magic! What can draw things together can also repel them and this component overrides combustion as a system of bio-dynamics since it is already in operation around us all the time.

This is the answer and the question.

All the time we see abnormalities to the life-gravity quotient and we accept them. And yet we do not hang from the ceiling so easily. But with our own ingenuity and some borrowed antics and understanding of animals and our creature friends maybe we can defy some of the laws of gravity? Yes, we can.

An ancient formula for being the Captain of Your Soul and the Master of Your Destiny is to understand this underlying, fundamental formula of your existence:

1). conceive, (2). believe, (3). receive.

Shortcut: What you are believing, is always what you are receiving.

This is always happening on every level whether you know it (conscious of it) or not, in order to demonstrate reality.

Moon Doggie

New Dog Moon October 13, 2012

Finding my way back after being tossed into a sea of change! This is a few days late, but always glad to be alive… I was struck by what is known as the 30 day point. We have an up coming Total Solar Eclipse in the sign of the Boar. It’s sexy, dangerous, volatile, and slipperier than a greased pig.

Why? Because it’s in the sign of the Boar (aka: pig/Scorpio) and it touches Saturn during it full, phase of motion. Unlike any other eclipse we have known in our life’s history this one will merge with the concentric rings of father time, Saturn.

Yes, the time has finally come …as they say.

But for now my starry eyed, family of friends we are in the troughs of an Old Dog, New Moon. This opens, big, double doors for doggies secret chum, the Hare.

In this time slot our Tiger team will be favored with a bright, spotlight and Horses will be on a nostalgia quest, to pony-up. And then there’s the dog and his co-host, the pig, which is a whole, other story.

The Dog and Pig own the Northwest sector on the compass. This is the cliff side and slippery slope in form, feng shui. The dog answers a call to duty and sets the rules & regs regarding such things as transportation, commerce, courts, laws, and partnerships. Piggy goes to market in the luck zone for winnings, prizes, loot, booty calls and liaisons. The Northwest area is home to the Flying Star Palace (6) for Heaven Luck and is reserved for mentors, benefits, secrets, skullduggery and treasures untold. It sets the Gold standard and is of the metal element.

These current elliptic 30 day points will touch generations only in the sense of it being about the birth of something new (the messiah channel) and the death of something old. A bell will toll.

If you are in a “lucky group” or individually pinned, you will receive some notice, make an appearance or get entangled in a web of sorts. This occurs in the alignment of things so as to affect a person or groups long-term situation in a really, dramatic and life-altering, landscape, way. Fate plays it’s hand at the wheel, ya don’t say. What may seem rather bad on the surface (who are we kidding… if something really sucks!) it may actually have a world of good inside. Your chore is to locate the gold nugget or nutrient grain and extract it, whole.

Celtic Fairys on Hallows Eve

Celtic Fairy on Hallows Eve

The next moon phase is the Serpentine full moon on Hallows Eve. It is a humdinger and a masquerade. Beware of alluring entanglements, ahh unless you are a Boar (aka pig) or Tiger or other “warrior type” like the Dragon and his trusty Rat-a-tat. You folks can wear a mask to protect the true-self while you wage wars against the oppressions of our great and wonderful world.

The coming Pig (aka: boar, Scorpio – nobility) eclipse next month is a life and death rattle, a reinvention, a reincarnate, a silly-bloody hell!! It’s the magnificent rags-to-riches story. Long, lost souls can be found and reborn. A prince can become a pauper and a pauper becomes a prince. You can kiss a frog, or a toad for more magical life transformations but choose them wisely or you risk god knows what-all?  Pigs don’t set-up chemical reactions like the rat sign instead they have them, they are an explosive force of nature.

Our ecliptic connection will make something invisible, visible and something visible will disappear. Yeah, it’s some tricky, sh-t, no kidding. Each eclipse has a natural pair and this one happens to be a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (Earth moves between sun and moon) in the sign of the Horse on 11/28. Now we are a bit far afield in the timeline but it’s because this new (yin) moon has long ranging implications and ramifiations.

Our last yearly, eclipse at the end of November brings darkness to daylight and a shadow formation with politics written all over it. Shadows will be cast in the ballots of the western world. Don’t believe everything you see or hear. Looks can be quite deceiving.

This up and coming pig eclipse (11/13) is a part of a series that only happens every 177 years and will speak directly to a chosen few. If it speaks to you, you may already have been called upon, or soon will. This is your time to climb the scared mountain and speak directly to power. Do not back down or shy away but be careful not to tan your hide or pickle your pig’s feet along the way. An abundance of caution is advised.

So what the heck is a 30 day point then?

It has three contextual parts. The 30 day point happens exactly 30 days before and 30 days after an ecliptic node is touched or activated in time, through space. And it is activated again, exactly one year after the date of the eclipse.

How does that affect moi?

If your natal or solar return chart (progressed, adapted, converted, and reinterpreted) is connected to any or all of these (3) nodes (one or all) it will push you, pull you, bend you and/or stretch you into shapes you have not felt before or did not imagine getting into.

The node strikes a resonant cord with our internal (natal chart) or external (solar chart) destiny. It creates a preposition 30 days prior to an eclipse and it hits a disposition 30 days after an eclipse.

Eclipses are fateful moments in time (insert slap in face w/cold, wet fish here) that are rarely ambiguous. Doors open in the 1st phase and doors close in the 2nd phase. Then exactly one year afterward it draws lines of distinction (or conclusions) to this new fate line that is now connected to you and/or the outer world.

With Saturn’s concentric circles involved this could be quite a drop in the pond of collective, consciousness. Waves and waves will emanate outward and then return back. Every drop of ocean has the ocean in it, but a drop, does not an ocean make.

How do you know if you are called upon? The alert may be something as subtle as pin prick (or did you hear a pin drop?) or as big as a sonic boom, holy cow!

This ecliptic set of patterns has an enigmatic mystery contained under a hermetic seal that holds the key to our future existence.

Within (3) days on/or around the new dog, moon, 10/15 you may receive a notice, make an unscheduled appearance, go out on a limb (on a whim), slide down a rabbit hole or throw caution into the wind -that you can’t have back again. Bottom line, when you are touched by this eclipse node in any one, or all of it’s points, there is no way you that won’t know.

This New Dog Moon on 10/15 is a push on the reset button. Turn the page and keep the format wide open. You’ll need to accommodate a world of new upheavals never seen before or surmised that are coming like an avalanche falling down the mountain.

Stars & Signs: posting your lucky stars for the New (yin) Moon (moods) in the Dog (duty) sign on October 15th until the Full Moon in the Serpent on October 30th. Dogs bury the bone and pigs bury the hatchet, caution is truly advised. Keep calm and carry on. Good luck until the next post on Hallows eve for the witchy, Serpent, full moon.

Rat – aka: Sagittarius, mouse, mongoose / planetary influences: Mars (energy) 8/23 to 10-6/ flying stars: (1) (4) (2) (2): I’d put off anything you can until you must actually do it. Postpone the whole kit and caboodle and spend time to bake your noodles. The luck stars are dark and damp. They will be flowing clean and clear into steady streams of income early next month. The best thing you can do with these soggy stars is a full system check and a good flush to an old system. Take care of old business before accepting another request on your to do-list. For now just kick back and stay dry by the fireside.

Ox – aka: Capricorn, bull, cow / planetary influence – Pluto (fate) / flying stars: (8) (2) (9) (9): There’s no getting around, getting, around-it. The dueling 9’s can feel like an everyday circuit of grand tragedies and comedies in life. You may look back and say this was the best, this was the worst, time in your mind. But I’d suggest you just see the bright side and get some extra rest. Don’t keep score, keep track. The gravy train is running through your pasture and it’s time to hitch your wagon to a new, daily routine. Grab that golden ring and run with it, you have a ticket to the Big top lucky, stars! Enjoy the ride. Remember life is a mystery to be revealed.

Tiger – aka: Aquarius / planetary influences / flying stars: (8) (2) (9) (9): When you are on a roll you just, go-with-it. You have several plates spinning here all at once. The trick is that they travel (good or bad) in the direction you send them. Slice and dice, good fortune I call it. Luck stars are your own, private wheel of power. Watch the sparks though your fame catches fire like a rocket heading into a new stratosphere. Ready, get set and then go -to town on a grand and lavish scale of new found happiness. The stars are flying strong and sparkle, golden stardust for your all the way through the holiday review. Go, baby, go!

Hare – aka: Pisces, rabbit, cat, fish / planetary influence – Neptune (harmony) retrograde 6/4 – 11/10 / flying stars: (3) (6) (4) (4): Luck stars are asking you to just glow and go with it, to be expansive and boldly know! Super lucky in love stars, sizzling money luck and oodles of charm give you a lucky luster in long strands of pearls. Bubbling and effervescent stars are flying in your best directions ~ Love & money luck bring gifts of treasure and fond pleasures, to be savored, not measured. Enjoy, you deserve it. Golden fishes and savory bliss-es of delight, go quietly into the night.

Dragon – aka: Aries / planetary influence: Uranus (chaos) retrograde 7/13 to 12/13 / flying stars: (4) (7) (5) (5): There is a great mystery in the air of a gale force wind that is changing everything for you almost, overnight, every night. Mounting household tasks feel like you are spinning in a flying house. Luckily the local munchkins are friendly with a generous spirit to lift you from a well worn rut. You are big and powerful with the transformation grid to convert any disaster into a gold mind. But don’t forget your ruby slippers you’ll need them wherever you land. And if it gets to tough to understand your little pig’s tail will get you out of any jar of jam.  Plus your fairy god mother’s always got your back.

Snake – aka: Taurus, serpent, bull / flying stars: (4) (7) (5) (5): Luck stars are the toughest lot you can draw. However they come with a platinum lined, gold, gem encrusted box hidden under the mess. Anything’s possible and you have great confidence that you should not allow to be undermined. These stars are a lucky advantage when you use the power of ten. Milk that cow and then fashion yourself  a new set of wings to fly-by. Headhunters are gunning for you but you can take then down. Shrink warp their minds with your sliver tongue and whip smart, designs. This too shall pass…

Horse – aka: Gemini, twins / planetary influence – Jupiter (increase) / flying stars: (9) (3) (1) (1): Rose are red, and violets are super, blue, blue, blue and the Lucky Stars are lov’n you like a spoonful-a-sugar! These luck stars zoom! Running with your Tigers pals and keeping up with the Dogs and Pony show all night might run you a bit raggedy, though. There’s quite a lot of spit in this fire, so throw another log on and the stoke the coals. Shake and bake some pumpkin magic this hallows eve. Your Love luck screams, baby it’s me!

Goat – aka: Cancer, crab, sheep, deer / flying stars: (2) (5) (3) (3):

Your luck stars are all twisted up in raucous mess of have-not’s, got-not’s and want-not’s. It’s time to put old expectations to bed and trash any unrequited love, lost. With this much double, whammy slandered on the surface of things our goats might get their panties in a bit-of a bunch. Separate the fact from the fiction and keep a fire extinguisher handy in the kitchen. Take it from the birds, if it quacks like a duck, it’s just a duck. Let everything roll off your back and stay warm on the blind side where the goose patrol can’t see you. Do not let yourself stew in any juices, just kick back with a buddy and hava a brew. Wear camouflage, as the new you.

Monkey – aka: Leo, lion / planetary influences / flying stars: (2) (5) (3) (3): Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. These luck stars are tangled and brambled and right down quarrelsome. When I was young I would wake up early before dawn to pick my black berries for my pies. That way they didn’t get overheated in the morning sun and could reach peak perfection inside the shell I formed for them. This may help you conceive ways to move tough situations forward with, say early advances. If something doesn’t quite yield for you, don’t push it, relax. Be good to yourself right now, your tick-tock is a little dink-donk. Try fire eating, it’s a great cure for all that ails these these funky-dunk, stars. Or just borrow the costumes in the clip, if you get my drift ~

Bird – aka: Virgo, phoenix, rooster / planetary influence: Venus (love & luxe) 10/2 to 10/28 / flying stars: (7) (1) (8) (8): There is no better batch of home-baked stars than these that are beaming for you my cock-do-doodle do! The numbers add up, down and all around, whichever way you want them to go. Lady luck is still encamped in your feathery, nest but will soon make her transit to the dog sign on October 28. Light the candles and toss a few rose petals around while you have this extra charm. It’s okay to give off the aura that you can’t be taken for granted but don’t be shy or you’ll miss all the glorious, blue sky opportunity to fly your true colors. Unfurl and unfold! Take flight and be bold.

Dog – aka: Libra, lion, scales / planetary influence – Sun (image) 9/22-10/21, Saturn (time), Mercury (messenger) 9/16 – 10/4, New (yin) Moon / flying stars: (6) (9) (7) (7): It’s a showdown at the okay corral for the luck stars in this zone. You’ll need to use your magnificent bargaining powers to escape the dreaded, doldrums. Find the line that snakes along a path that requires you to break down barriers. It will take you and lead you much farther out, beyond the wild blue yonder. A place where you can get the magic and bring it back to save the world. Yes it’s a steep climb on the cliffs of an abyss. But you are a study in achievement against all odds. Go underdog, go!

Pig – aka: Scorpio, boar, eagle / planetary influence: Sun (image) 10/22 to 11/22  – Mercury (messages) 10/5 – 10/28, Saturn (time) 10/5/12 – 12/23/14 / flying stars: (6) (9) (7) (7): Luck stars are a factor of none, or sometimes referred to as the snowball, factor. But as they say, when you go thru hell make it pay. The pen is mighty just like a sword, so invoice Hades to pay-up. Yes, I want to stand up and shout but not for injustice, for sublime, divine justice! Bee heard, Bee visible, Bee real, Bee~lieve!! The lucks stars are daring you to do!! Bee courageous, bee truthful, Bee ~utiful!! And mostly bee, perssssistent. Keep looking for an edge and stay, ever vigilant. A few asteroids may zing by you, but you’ll survive this to thrive on to a better end.

Til the next post on the Full Moon in the sign of the Serpent! Something wicked this way comes… Happy Hallows Eve!

Something Wicked This Way Comes, by Ray Bradbury

Dragon Cake

Day Moon Under the Sun

Day Moon Under the Sun

Oppositions to our best laid plans… the stars are flying in opposing territories and the signs are at odds with each other. Sun in Dog sign and a very powerful full (yang) Moon in the Dragon sign, will stir the pot. We may see more than a few old bones pop-up to the surface.

Our outer rim planets (large celestial bodies, or planets outside our elliptic plane) are taking up new positions and knocking down the old. This is when the music stops so find a seat and occupy it. Saturn is moving stations (from Dog to Pig) and that will pull the rug out from under many things.

For fun and in keeping with the festive spirit of this cyclic, moon change this is high drama for all the Zodiac signs. The lucky stars are hamming it up, going overboard, excelling as a hot-dog or being the life-of-the-party but they are all in exaggerated, states. This is showy, active, yang energy. Sh-t happens, is the short story.

This season offers us plenty of food for thought to sustain the Earth’s soul energy as it goes dormant until spring in our western hemisphere.

This takes some reflective time and we can see our little white rabbit is hard at it. The moon rabbit, or Jade Hare (grace) will be kept quite busy and is best left to their own devices to sort out the recipes and develop strategies on their advisory board.

For the dogmatic contenders the old guard surrenders… we will see a shut down of obsolete systems. This energy is coming from a karmic place. Get ready to roll the dice and set sail for uncharted lands as we shift positions on the big wheel.

Watch Earth Sky: Harvest Moon 2012

Official Harvest Moon is @ 10:19 Pm PST, have a happy Harvest Moon. It’s a magical, mystery moon.

The ever fabulous Mooncake and/or Mid-Autumn festival is happening this week in the lucky stars. This has great implications for women, matchmaking, floating sky lanterns, lighting incense, dragon dances and moon gazing as Uranus passes by. It is a festive holiday in Eastern cultures worldwide, for sharing tea and cakes (sweet and savory) with the family.

Modern Mooncakes

Modern Mooncakes

Use-to-be that mooncakes were sweet with a salty, egg yolk inside to commemorate the moon. Fortunately now (for more worldly tastes) the modern moon cakes are becoming sophisticated (Ganache anyone?) and palette pleasing in more cake-like concoctions. They even come gold-plated for gifts of status. Always glad to see our lady Luna well appreciated for her beauty and luminosity.

Many fun actives can be undertaken to celebrate this yearly offering (Mooncake Festival) to the moon goddess. Her name is “Chang’e” in Chinese and is (interestingly enough) a synonym with “change” in the English language. To me that’s strange… but also very cool since the moon cycles are always changing.

Stars & Signs: posting lucky stars for the Full (yang) Moon (moods) in the Dragon (vitality) sign up to the new  Dog (duty) moon coming on October 15th.

The up and coming New Dog Moon on 10/15 is a reset button. This is  where a new chapter in the life-adventures for my canine friends will begin. Horses and Tigers will be drawn in (harnessed, looped, included) on the margins to take care of what looks like a mountain of paperwork. Prepare to sign on the dotted lines.

In zen-type thinking, the old adage: “it’s the space between the bars that holds the Tiger” is aptly applied. The tiger expressing our wild (or untamed) natures or a natural state of being.

This can be protective or selective. So it’s not what we see that holds us back, it’s what we don’t see (= unconscious/subconscious thinking of conditioned and/or patterned behavior) and when you figure it out you can then release it.

Good luck until the next post ~

Rat – aka: Sagittarius, mouse, mongoose / planetary influences / flying stars: (1) (4) (2) (3): You will be called upon to create revolutionary devices and bring some old-fashioned, spirited pioneering to a new field of opportunity. But right now the luck stars are sour on the outside and quite fussy, too. I can offer a cautionary note to not feel poorly about it or you’ll reflect back, a wrong attitude. Our perspective frames our outlook and shapes the tone of our conscious awareness. You can shift it every time it gets out-of-whack. Prosperity flows and follows where you send it. Turn that tide and move across the water (consciousness) to find a better point-of-view. Be generous in believing.

Ox – aka: Capricorn, bull, cow / planetary influence – Pluto (fate) / flying stars: (8) (2) (9) (1): The Moo-moo is the fashion statement of the year as Scared cows are being revered and decorated for their lofty ideals. Banners, ribbons and special hardware to commemorate even a bum steer. Doesn’t matter if they are actually working, they look pretty and have loads of social support. Our planet Pluto now moves in direct motion after a long (sleepy) transit backtrack, this summer. This will quite literally transform situations and circumstances right before our eyes. There is monumental work involved so get out your chisel and hammer. Luck stars are GLOWING brightly for you. Wish and blow on them and they’ll gladly surprise you.

Tiger – aka: Aquarius / planetary influences / flying stars: (8) (2) (9) (1): History is in the baking, an old world is becoming a new realm. While extremes are polarizing others, you can see a clear way through. Your lucks stars are at an all time high. You have top tier luck status and love stars blazing. Use them to patch your life tapestry where areas have been worn. There is lots of glitter and sparkle in the costume that goes along with the gigantic, lucky elephant that follows you everywhere. Consider the sky lanterns this season as way to give thanks and send up your brightest ideas to the moon. Then watch lady Luna gift you in return with showers of new good.

Hare – aka: Pisces, rabbit, cat, fish / planetary influence – Neptune (harmony) retrograde 6/4 – 11/10 / flying stars: (3) (6) (4) (5): The fortunes portend great sacrifices will lead to heroic acts of virtue. Get your magic potions and lotions ready. Pound out the formula. The White Rabbit holds a lofty position and will soon be on the a quest of a lifetime. Before that happens you will need to get grounded and reset all positions to their new, default settings. Lucks stars have you cooling off those rocket boots you wear. The luck stars are neutral at their best, and risky at their worst. As they say in divination parlance, don’t take any chances. Take a breather. Stick close to base camp before your next social clime. Take time to acclimate with the rough and ready changes that are up and coming, just around the bend.

Dragon – aka: Aries / planetary influence: Full Moon (moods), Uranus (chaos) retrograde 7/13 to 12/13 / flying stars: (4) (7) (5) (6): Rare artifacts and gems stones are falling from the sky to align with your greatest ideals and fill your coffers. You have legendary Heaven luck giving everything you do, a glama-a-rama, boost. Add to that a prize package arriving with sequential numbers, that all add up and up. Keep yourself open to all possibilities and stay focused on the ball. The celestial ball in your case. You are now in an arena that will be like a festival of fantastic delights. Go easy and be filled with the wonder-of-it all. Mine your peeps and cues from the cave you quarry most and stay away from mass hysteria, especially when and/or if you provoke it. Rescale your amour -to fit the crime, don’t give away the kit-and-caboodle.

Snake – aka: Taurus, serpent, bull / flying stars: (4) (7) (5) (6): You have grand scale Heaven luck with a Triple crown flying and landing in your luck stars. You are an Agent provocateur. Myth and magic are your calling cards. You can wizard your way into anything you desire by being so darn good-at-it. You hold all the majesty, mystery and dark, chocolate secrets one can revere. Truth and beauty shall set your free. Now is your much awaited, amnesty. Don’t waste anytime to romanticize the past it will only repeat itself, on you. Cut back on the non-essentials and prepare for the unexpected. Limber up for it, real good, everyday. Remember the rule, when you go through hell (and you come out on the other side eventually, or die) make it pay. You will be signing a new lease-on-life.

Horse – aka: Gemini, twins / planetary influence – Jupiter (increase) / flying stars: (9) (3) (1) (2): Take a load off and put the cart before the horse. Time to let yourself out to pasture. Roam around for a new patch of greener, grass. Horses have some tough-luck stars staring them down, right now. Trust me it’s going to turn around. The new-new, season is about ready to burst into your end-zone and take you to hyper space. You will reach neither regions unknown. As a world explorer, extraordinaire you relish this in your pickle jar. To garnish these new wagers for the fullest effect do not be deceived by what you see in front of you. This is time to let-go and say heave-ho. In the coming days expect to attend to the passing of older relations as the tide turns. Soon the boats you sent sailing will be returning to a safe and sound, harbor.

Goat – aka: Cancer, sheep, deer / planetary influences / flying stars: (2) (5) (3) (4): Go for the gusto, green lights are flashing and you have super, lucky stars keeping all your ducks lined-up in a nice, neat row. The opportunities are ripe for the picking. Select whatever fruits you like to put in your basket or on your headdress. What goes-around, comes-around. Lucky stars are bringing you a smorgasbord of delights to pick and choose from. Stay focused and you’ll be favored for a long-shot (that you take now) while the time is so-right! Your super-ball will hit the power spot and keep ringing up points …long as you set-up circumstances in regulated, sequences.

Monkey – aka: Leo, lion / planetary influences / flying stars: (2) (5) (3) (4): Make your move and do the deal. Luck stars are rolling in your favor so don’t waste them on some dalliance or delusions. There are solid ways and means to effect the entire lifestyle change you have always dreamed of. The arrangement is tricky though. You must pick and choose from the menagerie you have laid out in front of you. Take the options to put on a showcase of your own, raw talents, not the adaptations of someone else. Step off the trapeze and get your balance. These lucky stars need to be properly aligned to do their job correctly, get the best advice you can and then take it with you to all the way to the bank. Don’t let your dreams escape without you.

Bird – aka: Virgo, phoenix, rooster / planetary influence: Venus (love & luxe) 10/2 to 10/28 / flying stars: (7) (1) (8) (9): Take another lap around the winners circle. Your lucks stars are on a fast track to nether regions of exquisite delight. There are bonus stars and infinity luck that have an insignia of your best, crest stamped on them. The bird is a showy and imperialistic creature by nature so you can be very pleased with yourself. You also have love luck flying in the window and providing the kind of companionship you’ve always longed for and/or cherish most. Birds get all the eggs in their basket so be (very) careful not to drop this unique opportunity. Expand the realm of your greatest estate and make history. Set-it-in-stone, by your gracious self.

Dog – aka: Libra, lion, scales / planetary influence – Sun (image) 9/22-10/23, Saturn (time), Mercury (messenger) 9/16 – 10/4 / flying stars: (6) (9) (7) (8): Que Sera Sera is the theme for your super-dynamic luck stars this season. Go with it and let the world unfold a new chapter for you. The set-backs are only a temporary glitch until the new system comes online. When it does you’ll be going full speed ahead. It’s been dog-gone awful in some ways but once Saturn moves out of your world you will see some pretty amazing luck pick-up the pieces. Lose the slack and re-tool your whole outlook to get a bead on it’s whereabouts.

Pig – aka: Scorpio, boar, eagle / planetary influence – Mercury (messages) 10/5 – 10/28, Mars (pure energy) 8/23 to 10-6, Saturn (time) 10/5/12 – 12/23/14 / flying stars: (6) (9) (7) (8): Jumbo jet-setter, luck stars are flying high and driving you hard. There is an instant game changer, deal breaker and re-arranger just up around the next corner, so don’t brake, ease into it. Mercury’s move into your sign coincides w/Saturn, and as they merge into hyper space you will see a sub-sonic, blast of fresh air open up a world of wonders. This zone is a launch pad set to go into new frontiers and take on new adventures in storytelling and myth making. All systems are functioning and it’s in the countdown phase. The special effects make rainbows out of all those old smoke-and-mirrors, routines. Mars makes love, melt in your hand.

Wild Hare ~ lucky me, lucky you!

This post follows the dashing and daring Full Blue Moon in the sign of the Hare (grace) on August 31th and carries forward to the New Moon on September 15th in the Bird (virtue) sign.

Once in a blue moon sounds so romantic but perhaps only if you like unrequited love stories.

The general theme is that in only this one instance will two or more energies merge and flow like ships passing in the night.

Our blue moon is the lighthouse in the story. Its luminosity is doubled (blue) because it has happened twice this month. This allows enough light for things to see each other and know one another but perhaps only superficially and for a short time. It’s not bright like daytime, this is moonshine “shedding” it’s fullest light.

This can be a great time to transfer data, re-live experiences for new outcomes, to find clues and look for missing parts. Put the pieces of your life and dreams back together. There will be a way to see forward in the dark, the dark being the unknown.

The illumination of this moon brings things, people, objects, places and even nebulous concepts into view. Keep the tissues handy. Being in the sign of the Hare it mixes things up with a high, moral side. Let this blue moon be a harbinger of truth and beauty as a solution to life’s confusion.

Full (yang) moons bring moods, feelings and energetic patterns to a peak or fullness leaving behind high-water marks in our lives whether we see them now or not.

The ball drops and the change-maker brings new shape-shifted realities into play and into being. Things may appear one way but they will actually go another. To predict the unlikely directions of new vitality and get ahead of the game (for success) you’ll need a magic kaleidoscope to express variability.

To follow the leader (dogma) you may walk confident but you’ll likely stroll off the cliff-hanger. What does that mean to moi?

It means to see beyond what is and use your own personal power to project ahead of where you are. This will help you find a groove that leads you in the correct direction.

Going in the correct direction leads to the location of your greatest good, it brings us collectively or individually to a solution or realization. If you stay locked in to your own or other peoples (worn-out) ideas about where to go and/or how to get there you may be on a conveyer belt that leads you in circles going nowhere.

We won’t have this premium level of magnetism running such strong currents all the time. Please use this primal force to extend your connections and grow an olive branch. Use it like overdrive to power up that hill, make that move and blaze that trail. Muster your courage and assert yourself, boldly. This is not blind faith, so keep your eyes wide open.

Like all Hares the hospitality makers will be available along the way to give you a leg up or a furry, foot hold. Though it may not seem like you are supported when you step off into the the wild, blue yonder (the unknown) merging variables and colorful possibilities will unfold a bridge. These concurrences will greet you like a banner waving in the breeze to show you the way.

In a conscious way this moon can enhance our awareness of subtleties. Why subtleties? They are those invisible fibers that lead us to our destiny and for many humans that walk this Earth that is what we are really seeking.

How to harvest subtleties? Well the way I explain it is this, if you want an oak tree you’d better be looking for acorns since oak trees don’t fall fully-grown from the sky. Subtle energy is the nuance akin to a planted seed, poised and ready to break free from it’s dark hole.

This kind of seed is also a clue to finding a next step. The next step brings resonance.

Resonance is when you connect with your universe to cooperate in a larger plan called the divine plan, or life calling. A life calling is an awareness or knowing what moves and motivates us onward. As an anchor it holds us fast to our goals/moorings when we would otherwise give-up and drift away from our challenges.

Why does a plant grow, why do we long to love, why do we hope or hold on? I conjecture that this is a purely a feministic (not feminism) principle steeped in a larger mystery. A mystery that suggests striving (passion) rather than straining (drudgery) to get what you desire. This subtle change will leave you with a lasting impression instead of a stain.

A life calling is simply that. Life calls out to each of us and we either tune in on that vibration or try and stop the noise. We either give-in and follow it’s leaning by allowing “it” to show us and take us completely to what it has to offer us or, as we so often do, we stuff and stifle this noise, we muzzle it. We stop the resonance so we can listen to other voices and other modes of conditioning to find our way in the world.

In extreme cases this becomes a noise sensitivity. Sound is a big concern in the industrial world. My interpretation is that people who have this sensitivity are intent on stopping their own internal type of resonance. They want to conform to and control their world from the outside in and when they can’t the noise starts banging in their heads. They look outside, instead of in.

A good way to know if this is true about yourself is to ask this question, are you trying to take from the world what you want… or are you giving to the world what you’ve got? When you fully shift the paradigm it turns an internal conflict into eternal bliss.

This full, blue Hare moon ignites a transition phase in the seasons of our earthen souls.

A natural change is taking place and yet there is discomfort in leaving the old cocoon, in breaking free of the old skin of the former self. We may feel broken or blown away. But a plant does not grow until it brakes through the bark or soil. The leaves must drop. Without chaos we have no world. In pain there is gain if we look for it and reach for it in the dark like a light switch.

Ancient wisdom and truth (and quantum mechanics, i.e the Pauli Theory) tells us that no two things can occupy the same space in time, it’s a universal law. Such as a shaft falls from the grain leaving the kernel naked and vulnerable we need to know that to be what we want to be, we can’t stay who we are.

When I complete a series of feng shui changes for people (or things) there is always something that breaks or falls apart. This makes way for a new cycle of things to begin. Yes people try to stop it (fear based response) and in so doing lock (closing) in the pain instead of searching (openly) for the gain.

Another reflective and potent mystical saying is, Somethings got to give… In our modern myth and moral story telling this has a classical basis in the iconic and ironic story of Marylin Monroe, figuratively, literally and metaphorically.

“The star system has gotten way out of hand. We’ve let the inmates run the asylum, and they’ve practically destroyed it” was a statement issued by Peter Levathes in 1962 and in reference to artists like Marilyn just before she died. This thinking of ownership couldn’t have been farther from truth or beauty. It seems this story is immortalized from only one side.

In simple terms the movie moguls of the day only tried to get what they wanted by using pressure and subterfuge. In contrast had they allowed themselves to see what they already had and then work with it they would have transcended into new realms.

The mysticism of this compelling story (on and off the set) illustrates the bittersweet and tantalizing opportunities lost by this grind-up, wind-up world. When we push with angst to make something happen or to get what we want, we often never get-it or have-it and in so doing, destroy the very nature of it’s being.

In ancient lore this method is often called “killing the goose.” In the carnage of this mindset we often find some wonder of beauty that was lost, forgotten or misused.

You, me, we – can’t force mother nature.

But once in a blue moon you can coax her out of her shell, when she feels safe, when the water is warm and all the pending agendas are put away. We can skinny dip in the moonlight and be reborn.

Until the next post just let nature (or your nature) run wild and see where she goes, it might genuinely surprise you!

Stars & Signs: posting lucky stars for the Full (yang) Moon (moods) in the Hare (grace) sign up to the new harvest moon in the Bird (virtue) on September 15th. Good luck!

Rat – aka: Sagittarius, mouse, mongoose / planetary influences / flying stars: (1) (4) (2) (4-3):

Intermission time. Lean back and lay low, keep your foot off the accelerator petal. Your pending luck stars are tangled in some thorny sticker bushes. You are going from full warp speed to a big show down. Allow things to cool off and take a break before diving in the pool. As temperatures drop air tight seals form around your desires. While this happens spend time listening and then objectifying new opportunities. When you come up from deep water (consciousness) and/or out of a dark space (unconsciousness) there is always an interlude to re-adaption. Stay in the compression chamber a few months to get your bearings before integrating your new ideals into to everyday life.

Ox – aka: Capricorn, bull, cow / planetary influence – Pluto (fate) / flying stars: (8) (2) (9) (2-1):

Up early and down late, scheduling has kept you buzzing and humming through this summer of love. Now, finally you will see more channels deliver steady streams of new data to your field of dreams. Or at least one. The trick here is repetition. Once you figure out the how just keep repeating it. Constancy is your lucky charmer. The stars roll in your favor with a wink, wink and a nudge-nudge. You have to blow on the candles to make a wish come true and rub that lamp to get a genii to appear. When summoning a genii be sure to have your request formulated and wait time is nil.

Tiger – aka: Aquarius / planetary influences / flying stars: (8) (2) (9) (2-1):

Finding and keeping is the Tiger’s only really soft, tender sentimental side. Once they find what they want they like to have it, and to keep it near. There is a honeymooners tinge to your lucky money stars this month. Use the core concepts of sharing is caring and loving is giving. Show the ones you hold dear, that you like them here. Brandish nothing stronger than a pillow fight or you’ll frighten the children into tears. Sure you can stay tough like a bed of nails. But then no one can lie down and roll around with you in the green, grass of home. Hold your own and let the good times jelly-roll.

Hare – aka: Pisces, rabbit, cat, fish / planetary influence – Neptune (harmony) retrograde 6/4 to 11/10, Blue, Full Yang Moon (moods) / flying stars: (3) (6) (4) (6-5):

Blue moon… in the Hare. Lucky in love and wealth stars are all a sizzle with one small caveat. Use them up now, don’t wait. Expiration dates on the luck quotient lose potency quickly. You are currently aligned for maximum frequency of heaven luck and income streams a-plenty. Fortunately for you, you are also naturally gifted at foraging and gathering fruits and nuts at their peak season. Make haste on this work since the tide will pull out this month leaving your ships high and dry. Things may look bleak and bleary. But this is only a short lived condition. By the time you have cleaned off your rosy glasses everything will be crystal clear. Sometimes the water just needs time to settle. Go slow, don’t push the luck stars this month and let things flow.

Dragon – aka: Aries / planetary influence – Uranus (chaos) retrograde 7/13 to 12/13 / flying stars: (4) (7) (5) (7-6):

Stretch out your wings and and rip free from the chains that bind you. You are being tested in new flights of fancy and all you need to do is show up. Life as the dragon knows it, all-to-well, is a messy, scary business. Ye be monsters beyond here is oft the place marker for madness and ends-of-the-world inhabited by the dragon kind. You scratch your head and beyond wonder, why, and how on Earth do people come up with this stuff? But then before you even have time to really ponder, suddenly it dawns on you. All this unmarked and uncharted territory is yours to play in, it belongs to you, it’s your birthright and yours for the taking.

Snake – aka: Taurus, serpent, bull / flying stars: (4) (7) (5) (7-6):

Life is going to get sweeter and a newly, exalted position (or tack) you’ve taken is making a bad situation better. Luck stars look thrilling and willing, beyond belief to go the distance. Though to see you now it would not seem so, but strangely enough in the coming weeks a serious legal matter will go favorably for you. Put grist to the mill and apply another turn to the screw. Of course your own special brand of squeezing is legendary but if that fails your venom will paralyze them. The days to your crowning glory are numbered by few. Paupers awaken as a prince or princess in the morrow.

Horse – aka: Gemini, twins / planetary influence – Jupiter (increase) / flying stars: (9) (3) (1) (3-2):

Feeling your oats is fine and dandy. However this is your best time of the year to beat a retreat. To be fully revived requires an extended, clandestine period. Stars are a funky lot in a mixed bag of what, knots. Things get tangled in brambles when we bite off more than we can chew. Choose your words and then swallow them whole, what’s left unsaid no one will know. If this hand of cards were mine I’d toss them and push back the table. Stockpile your cupboards with fruity delights but don’t burn candles or leave on the light. Hold your horses just a little longer, don’t jump the gun. Rewards will come when your legs are stronger.

Goat – aka: Cancer, sheep, deer / planetary influences / flying stars: (2) (5) (3) (5-4):

Bonus social luck brings back a gentler stride and a promotes wanderlust to take you back to a happier time. The peacekeeper and match-maker goat is the new uniform type. You are infinitely bound to the stories of the land so it’s time to stop kidding around! One by one, three billy goat’s gruff usurped a troll that wanted to devour their life.  Like water under the bridge they moved past it to let bygones be gone for good. Climb higher and you’ll find a new, brighter view on your horizon. This month will sparkle and shine be sure to shop and dine. Up next month is a long rest and respite from the intensity of this limelight.

Monkey – aka: Leo, lion / planetary influences: Venus (love & luxe) 9/6 to 10/2 / flying stars: (2) (5) (3) (5-4):

Love comes to town and it’s riding a horse upside down. Honey you have some pretty happy, snappy luck coming down your pike. But from the way you see it – it looks miserable, like something the cat dragged in. Out of your “former” fears and tears there is a truth in beauty that you have side-lined, avoided or isolated. Don’t let your fame be a passing fancy. Au contraire …you would be wise to economize. Save your affections for a love (or script) that’s really rare. On stage you are hopping and popping with flirtatious hilarity so let the good time roll, don’t wedge them in.

Bird – aka: Virgo, phoenix, rooster / planetary influences: New Moon (yin moods) 9/15, Mercury (messenger) 8/31 to 9/16 / flying stars: (7) (1) (8) (1-9):

Oppositions flare-up and thunder roars in the skies of the feathered kind. You are rarefied by these ripe conditions. This is the perfect time to cast out lines and make the ties that bind. Get into a new stride by marching to the drum of a higher mind. The bean counters will merge with the nitpickers to sort out all the details over time. The luck stars are a flyby the seat of your pants airline taking you to a conference in a wilder-nest clime. Hunt and peck to solve the crime. Income luck stays strong and goes long. If not, I suggest abruptly making an about face (all the way around to the other side) and go forward in that direction.

Dog – aka: Libra, lion, scales / planetary influence – Saturn (time) / flying stars: (6) (9) (7) (9-8):

Super, double bonus luck has doggies barking and baying at the moon. But all this howling is a waste of a very, good vibe. Dog is the Hare’s secret buddy so don’t be afraid to reveal your innermost dreams to a sacred sole. Confide not deride. In so doing you may garner the prize of a new lifetime. Don’t bat an eyelash about crossing your tee’s. The white cross is a legendary symbol of power used to remove all iniquity. Be thou dissolved in preparation for the whole lot-a heaven luck coming your way. Like summer berries you get to pick your own prize.

Pig – aka: Scorpio, boar, eagle / planetary influence – Mars (pure energy) enters 8/23 to 10-6 / flying stars: (6) (9) (7) (9-8):

The lucky pig has a dynamic-duo of star powers wielding fire and brimstone with an exaggerated effect. Below the pyrotechnics is a deep reservoir of constancy and continuity being dredged-up, out of this marshy swamp. Your olfactory senses will lead you to the  destination of your dreams so keep sniffing around the forest. Trust your sensory perceptions above what you see in front of you. Set your whole heart on fire and watch it burn. When you do, it will melt away the dross. The big wheel is turning and you get a shot at the jackpot. Aim high and be mighty at the arc.

Monkey New Moon

Monkey see, monkey do!

This post follows the daring New Moon in the sign of the Monkey on August 17th and carries forward to the Blue Moon 2012 on August 31th.

The lucky blue-moon at month’s end is a full moon in the Hare. Something radical will shake-out of the family tree that drops fertile seeds into super-nutrient rich, pay dirt.

Planet Mercury, now in forward motion has a boomerang effect of the curve (in this timeline) that can hook or bring things back around you thought were long-gone or lost. This is an ideal time to forgive, let live and release worn-out grudges to the waste bin. The summer recess is now in session. This is an essential time to try at being anything than what you already are, just for the sake of the fun-of-it.

Soul play is the theme under this a deep, dark, mystery moon. Let your Sol (spiritos) be your guide as you run off in new directions and find avenues that lead to new expressions. The quirky and underexposed will surface (or bubble up) in stylistic venues of the off and on-beat. Background drums keep a strong, jungle rhythm pumping.

The Monkey’s perky, palette unfolds a wide-ranging design fest of unexpected twists and turns. Primaries in jewel tones and washed-out, sun-baked, colors carpet the runways and by-ways.

Launch your big ships now and take long trips to luxuriate in the finest manner you can muster. The days between the monkey new moon and the full, blue moon in the Hare are a rare opportunity to cultivate happiness long~lasting.

The mojo of the blue-moon can smooth out any dull spots, rough patches or jagged edges of sub-par, luck stars. They can shine-back luck brilliantly beyond what it appears to be when you rub it to a glossy, finish.

Think of summer 2012’s late new moon as a second honeymoon, another chance times two. It works like an automatic, wish factory when your stuff-it with great ideas from inside out. Be original, gather your wits and make self assurance a keystone to success. Monkey signs give ballast to the snakes vulnerable, underbelly while the dragon and the rat get a free-booster ride.

Bask in the glory once your relaxed and well-rested. There is a doubling of all luck this month that gives us a peek at what our luck will be like next year in 2013.

Heed the signs but go ahead and run a little amok, dare to dream and feel alive about whatever floats your boat. The monkey’s colorful, kaleidoscope of creativity will hold sway over the masses. Prepare for an encore performance when you least expect it.

Stars & Signs: posting lucky stars for the New (yin) Moon (moods) in the Monkey (talent) sign, on August 17th to the full (yang), blue moon (moods) in the Hare (grace), August 31st.

Rat – aka: Sagittarius, mouse, mongoose / planetary influences / flying stars: (1) (4) (2) (4): Peach blossom luck showers you with wildflowers in summer meadows like a lazy, afternoon dream. Social luck and love charms get whipped into frothy, peaks of curiosity. Politic all you want since you will be heard and well received. Everything is doubled. These days are dawning with bright blue skies on the horizon so feel free to make the utmost of them. Things may turn out, round much better than you first think, just believe in it!

Ox – aka: Capricorn, bull, cow / planetary influence – Pluto (fate) / flying stars: (8) (2) (9) (2): Stay elated away from the summer parades and charades. Things can get a little tense and over stimuated in your minds eye with too much clutter. The luck stars are uneasy and a bit queasy. You may feel seasick even on terra firma. Use time-out wisely and don’t run yourself aground going in circles or you’ll blank-out. Be quiet and well reserved and the stress and drain of soggy luck stars will soon pass almost unnoticed.

Tiger – aka: Aquarius / planetary influences / flying stars: (8) (2) (9) (2): You’ve been chasing after your tail and its getting a tad dizzying and tattered. There is no need to continue on a course littered with potholes and uneven terrain. Camp out on a favorite bench and keep out of the hot, mid-day sun. While away the days in a cool, restorative vacation mode to overcome a batch of tough-luck stars. You’ve got to get that big, tiger pout, out. Take it to the cave and stick-it there until you emerge reborn.

Hare – aka: Pisces, rabbit, cat, fish / planetary influence – Neptune (harmony) retrograde 6/4 to 11/10 / flying stars: (3) (6) (4) (6): Christen the maiden voyage of some super, lucky stars on board a honeymoon suite of dreams. Sunny breezes lead to fabulous ports of call!! Love and luck are conspiring in your favor to deliver loads of unexpected good fortune and luscious booty, galore. Let the games begin and join in the fun for everyone with super, love luck, long-lasting. Treasure arrives as a dynamic duo, set, matched and pre-arranged.

Dragon – aka: Aries / planetary influence – Uranus (chaos) retrograde 7/13 to 12/13 / flying stars: (4) (7) (5) (7): This is Funk Zone central, ello, ello, get the lead-out. A crack, demo team is at the front door. Everything goes and then it arrives somewhere else so only take what you know you must and don’t keep anything else. PLEASE be willing to part with some of the lessor items. The bulldozer will not stop while you gather your lilies or look for your glasses. Go now and keep moving. Cut back the brambles and get rambling, on.

Snake – aka: Taurus, serpent, bull / flying stars: (4) (7) (5) (7): Cordon off the area, yellow caution tape is advised. Carry a few spare rolls of it to be on the safe side. The more you shrink the less you will chafe on these ruggedly, sharp stars that spur you on. Use all your powers of observation, carry your best amulets and don’t leave the cat out. Secure a safe haven and stay locked up in your own world until the bog disppears. Be inventive, be clear and be a legal Beagle. Bite down hard on any deceivers or be short, shrift-ed. Just cut-to-the check please.

Horse – aka: Gemini, twins / planetary influence – Jupiter (increase) and Venus (love) / flying stars: (9) (3) (1) (3): Shut down the whole rumor mill and hold off on any big ideas until the surprise inspection is over. This area is going through a transition phase and will only be functioning at the barest of minimums while tests are conducted and results revealed. Shut down non-essentials now and tie down any loose ends. Don’t let any thing dangle, drag or get tangled in the mind. Words can bind like barbs of wire so stay well, inside your boundaries.

Goat – aka: Cancer, sheep, deer / planetary influences / flying stars: (2) (5) (3) (5): Raise the white flag and give up now while there is still a chance. Don’t take a stand or make any waves just go with the flow. The luck stars are knocking about hard and crashing like breakers on a rocky shore. You’d best wear a hard hat at all times. Trust me you’ll need it in this construction zone. Don’t get into it, get out of it. There’s a rainbow at the back of this storm but for now I’d batten down the hatches. Mums the word and all.

Monkey – aka: Leo, lion / planetary influences: Mercury (messenger): New Yin Moon (moods) / flying stars: (2) (5) (3) (5): Luck stars look testy and Topsy-turvy. I trust you’ll keep that in mind while you swash and buckle your way around the world of a affairs. Summers drama-rama is in top shape and full tilt.  There is no room to compromise, so don’t mess-up between the lines. Stay and do the thing, and be the one. Then you’ll see the reward …but never before the good deed is done. Blow hard and go long to unravel this ball of yarn.

Bird – aka: Virgo, phoenix, rooster / planetary influences / flying stars: (7) (1) (8) (1): Get your lucky, winning tickets here!! The bird has got rock, solid-golden luck stars that gleam brightly and make streams of income appear. It’s like a super luck sandwich. Fresh-baked, infinity luck is buttered in love luck and stacked with garden miracles and money greens drizzled with saucy wishes and sprinkled with dreams-come-true and then topped with another layer of fresh-baked, infinity luck! Take your best shot, you got it, I promise!

Dog – aka: Libra, lion, scales / planetary influence – Saturn (time), Mars (energy) / flying stars: (6) (9) (7) (9): It’s a melting pot of sticky, tricky business. These lucks stars have silver linings and pearl encrusted interiors but you’ll need a blow torch and a crow bar to cut a path to the center where all the goodies are stashed. It’s not always easy to see what you’ve got til it’s gone. And once it’s gone, let it go- and then the new cash reserves will flow. The wheel is turning and if you don’t like it on one side get on over to the other, don’t wait. Act now, on Que = you.

Pig – aka: Scorpio, boar, eagle / planetary influence – Mars (pure energy) enters 8/23 to 10-6 / flying stars: (6) (9) (7) (9): Keep your skids greased and your eyes peeled, and you’ll catch a fly-ball right outta left field. But watch-out, down below, there’s fire in the hole! Shield’s up or you’ll burn, baby burn. Take the offensive, no defenses. These luck stars are branded with a keen edge on a thick hide. Your best bet is to walk the coals shaman-like to the other side. Lucky stars form a magnetic field ripe with opportunities you can take to the bank once you harness the big, beast. It’s a high wire act of great distinction so carry a spare pair of fish nets in case you need’um. Joy is a super-natural, power for good and is highly contagious, use-it, don’t lose it.
