CJ Wright, astrologer, numerologist and author of Auntie Moon, recently honored me as a guest blogger on her site.
I was so thrilled!
This was a first for me and I am appreciative of CJ’s kindness.
From one Moon Child to Another, my sincere thanks, you made my day Auntie Moon! 🙂

Here we are counting down the last days until Christmas, and all the young people in my life are a mixed bag of anticipation, hope and trepidation (((laughs))).
Yes, trepidation, over the possibilities of just what might be inside those innocuous appearing wrapped packages, under their grandma’s 
tree.
It is a well-known fact that grandmothers can, and will, gift you with what they think you need.
After all, they have eons more of experience in life matters than your parents do, and to them, your parents are still kids anyway so therefore they simply cannot be relied on to make sure you have everything you really, truly need.
Now make no mistake, if grandma feels you need Preparation-H (let’s not even get into how or why she would think that..UGH), but the point is, if she THINKS you need Preparation-H, you can bet your arse, that is exactly what you will be unwrapping in front of the whole family at Christmas.
And be prepared, to suck up your mortification and smile big for that picture you know she is going to insist on taking to mark that special occasion.
Nothing like being memorialized in the family albums for all-time with your big ‘ole grin and a tube of Prep-H. (((giggles)))
Who hasn’t been there done that one, though??!!
It is just a part of being a dutiful and appreciative grandchild, and if you were fortunate enough to have grandparents, and they treated you well as grandparents should..then hey, what’s a little personal mortification once or twice a year to show how much you love them, right?
So, onto the story that prompted this blog today.

The New Moon at 24° Sagittarius occurs on Wednesday, Dec. 16th at 7:02 am EST.
A New Moon is an opportunity, to begin something anew and/or to redirect your course, in regards to any insights you may have had since the illumination of the last Full Moon.
This New Moon in Sagittarius is of a particularly powerful nature, as it receives the energetic support of numerous aspects to other planets, all of which, are now in direct motion.
This moon event is offering us a fabulous spring-board for change!
************************************************
The previous Full Moon offered us illumination to clearly identify any areas in our lives that we may have been the unconscious ‘follower’ of any ideologies or individuals/groups that may no longer be serving of our Higher Purpose.
Have you had any lightbulb moments of crystal clarity suddenly arrive in the past two weeks, concerning a situation or an other in your life that as of recent has felt off or illusory in some manner, yet you just couldn’t quite put your finger on it?
If you have, it is likely you are now ready to do a course-correction in some manner and this new moon is fully supportive of exactly that.

All of our Emotions exist to Serve Us.
When you feel good, and are in a vibration such as Joy, Passion, Optimism and/or Contentment, it is a clear indicator that you are on course, in your path.
This is an experience, be it of a solitary nature or shared with an other, that you want to continue to embrace, for it shall serve you well.
When you feel poorly, and are in a vibration such as Frustration, Anger, Despair and/or Worry, it is a clear indicator that you are off course, in your path.
This is an experience, be it of a solitary nature or shared with an other, that in it’s current form, is not of your best interest and will not serve you well.
By embracing the emotional scale instead of denying it, you are availing yourself to a valuable navigational system that shall assist you in steering through these currents, that we term The Human Experience.
Master Your Emotions and enjoy smoother Sailing.
Allow Your Emotions to Master You and the waters shall be ever turbulent.
Listen to Your Emotions, allow them to share their Wisdom, then act upon the Wisdom they have shared, and chart your course accordingly.
Have courage and trust, in Yourself and your ability, to be the Fearless Master, of Your Ship.

We are now one week shy of Mars going retrograde, and I have found myself putting my inspiration for any new projects/creations, into 
solid foundations at lightening speed this past week.
How about you? Have you suddenly felt the need to jump start any endeavors, laying the ground work, at a frantic pace?
If you have, you likely have been sensing the forthcoming Mars retrograde, and have been acting on your Astro impulses and are more in-tune then maybe you realized. 🙂
*********************************************************
A brief overview of what Mars retrograde is all about and what you may experience during this roughly 10 week period, while Mars is in retrograde:

Saturn is currently transiting Libra, bringing to center stage the issue of boundaries and balance, within relationships.
Some seem to be born with an understanding of what boundaries are, and utilize them with ease, throughout their lives.
Others, myself included, have had to work quite diligently to understand the meaning of boundaries and to utilize them in a manner that is non-projective.
Years past, I attended a Spiritual School of Healing for a time.
It was the philosophy of the founders of this school, that to become an effective conduit for healing for others, one must first heal, thyself.
When I entered this school, one of the issues that was constantly stressed to me during our self-work sessions, was BOUNDARIES.
Quite honestly, back then, I didn’t have any.
The word, meant nothing to me whatsoever, no matter how many times it was defined to me.
Yet others could see, even if I could not, that I was in desperate need of boundaries, and I am thankful for their daily enforcement of the necessity of developing boundaries for myself.
Many wise souls planted seeds with me back then, and while I did not have those seeds sprout until after my attendance period at this school, they did eventually come fully to flower, and I am so very thankful for those that cared enough about me, to badger me ceaselessly, on boundaries.
Setting boundaries really is about you, not, about any other.
I do not perceive boundaries as “walls or shields”, as I believe is quite a common perception in the collective.
If you truly have strong boundaries, and maintain them, there is never a need to deflect or prevent an energy of any nature from entering your space, nor is there a need to concern yourself with how another is utilizing their personal energy.
Boundaries are, a clean and concise definition, of your personal space.
They allow you to set within your energy patterns, what comes in, what goes out, and how you wish to utilize or bypass any energy incoming, regardless of if you should label it as “negative or positive, high or low”.
It simply does not matter, for you yourself, through boundaries, determine the qualities of any energy within your space.
Keep your space tidy, and do not trespass the personal space of an other, and you shall master boundaries amazingly fast!
Following is an article I wrote a while ago, and I feel it is in context to developing and maintaining boundaries, and is an issue that tends to be overlooked, when doing depth work in the boundaries arena, for oneself.
If you are interested in developing better boundaries in your life, this article may be helpful to you, as there are many subjects that are not always easily identified as being directly connected to the area of boundaries, and I feel this is one of them.
If you have a lot of challenging aspects in your chart concerning relationships with others, or, if you are loaded up on Pisces, 12th house, or Neptune aspects, you too, should find this article of benefit. Service-oriented Virgo, this also could serve you.

Today, is my eldest daughter’s birthday.
Today, she is 22.
Yet yesterday she was a defiant teen, and the day before that an awkward pre-teen, and the day before that, it was her first day of 
kindergarten.
The day previous to that day, she was the toddler with her arms wrapped around my neck, her tiny little face peeking through my hair, as she flirted with whomever was offering her, a much beloved cookie.
Not so many days ago, she was placed upon my breast, this newborn delight of mine, and she smiled up at me with a little pucker of a smile, and I felt a Love and Peace, that is the gift of Motherhood, of which we lack words of enough depth and richness, to even remotely describe this Heavenly Space.
Mother’s reading this, understand this and are in no need of words to describe what this is when holding company with one another, for we feel it and just understand it, this sacred space of a deep, eternal love that we enter into, within these rites of Motherhood.
Yes, I am deeply nostalgic today, and am savoring each and every drop, every single moment of memory, that returns to me this day.
You see, I feel we have these moments, and the whole of these moments, defines the Truth of our existence.
These moments, that define us, are the moments that reside in our Hearts, and are ever present, and ever alive.
I do not believe in living in the past, and yet, I do believe we occasionally need to take a moment, to scan around to be certain, that we have brought forward, all of the really precious wonders, that have brought us to Be, whom we are now.
The moments I carry in my Heart, those shared with both of my daughter’s, and the gift’s they have graced me with, in those shared experiences, are directly responsible for whom I have come to Be, today.
*********************************************
There are many things I intended to write about today.
Yet as soon as I awoke, the myriad of moments that I shared with my daughter, from the first that she entered this world, indeed from the moment I conceived her, continue to drift through my mind and senses.
This nostalgia is likely intensified today as I am currently in a period with heavy transits to my natal Moon (mother,women), with transiting Uranus and Saturn in square, and Pluto in opposition.
So, I thought maybe I’d try something a little different today, and I am going to review my personal chart for what I had transpiring the year I birthed this lovely child of mine.
If you are so inclined, feel free to share your personal experiences/astrology data in the comment section, I would enjoy sharing this “Sea of Nostalgia” with other parents that wish to savor their moments of wonder the year their children arrived.
So, here goes, a look at how this child entered my universe, via astrological influences. 🙂

I recently had the pleasure of being the recipient of an ‘ask and you shall receive’ gift.
As I have mentioned in other posts I am currently in a cycle of activated Kundalini.
So to make short a long story, 
, I put it out through the ethers that I wished for someone, in a body ((silently thanking my disincarnate assistance for understanding)), to come forth that would be able to assist me during this transition in some way, someone that had something, I needed, to ease the discomfort that can come during a kundalini cycle.
The day following my etheric request for assistance, I found myself creating a Facebook account, which surprised me, for I had no interest in doing so, previous to that morning.
Within hours of my sign-on at Facebook, my request through the ethers was answered.
Steve Booke, a Musician and conduit for Healing, currently residing in NYC, friended me, and voila!, he offered exactly what I needed.
Steve’s musical compositions have brought me tremendous relief these past weeks, and have assisted the smooth flow of fire energy that, as of today, I am still experiencing.
In gratitude and thanks, for Steve’s generous assistance, I wished to share with my readers a bit on the dynamics of this talented Musician/Healer via his astrology signature, and to share his personal websites, for any that may wish to learn more of what Steve has to offer.
**************************************
As an Aries rising, Steve receives benefit of his natural chart placements through the houses and signs, and his chart ruler is Mars (which is also co-ruler of Scorpio and the 8th house).
With his Moon and Neptune exactly conjunct, in his Scorpio 8th house, Steve easily plumbs the depths of Scorpio’s transformational intensity with a passion that brings forth an exotic flavor within many of his compositions. In his own words, Steve has coined the term, “Exotic Sexatonic” in description of the rich, sultry tones his music embodies.

Saturn has only recently begun his transit of Libra, the sign of relationships, balance and justice, yet already it is quite apparent that 
some are being impacted quite intensely by Saturn making a conjunction to their natal Uranus, Neptune or Pluto taking residence in early Libra.
If you have the natal placement of any of these outer planets in early Libra, and Saturn is now conjunct your planet, or is applying to the conjunction, it would be beneficial to be aware that relationships are front and center for you, and this is your opportunity to redefine your relationships and update your ways of Being, within relationship.
Due to the movement of the outer planets being slower than our personal planets, they remain in each sign significantly longer, and are a generational influence. Because of this, large swaths of people are affected by transits to these planets all at the same time, and if the transit is by a slower moving planet such as Saturn, the duration of influence of the transit is of a longer term.
Those currently having transit Saturn conjunct one of their outer planets, are those born within the approx. dates listed below, along with which planet is being influenced:
Uranus in early Libra: October 1968-September 1970
Neptune in early Libra: October 1942-September 1946
Pluto in early Libra: November 1971-September 1975
Those born within these years are now having Saturn conjunct, or applying to the conjunction, of the outer planet listed with the corresponding dates.
If you were born slightly after any of these above dates, this Saturn transit will soon be upon one of your outer planets, so this information, also applies if you wish to preview how the impact of this transit of Saturn through Libra may effect you.
First let’s take a closer look at the players in this event, to get an idea of what this transit of Saturn to the outer planets, is asking of us.

Transiting Pluto is creeping his way to my Descendant and is currently conjunct my Juno.
My life is quite odd right now, no other way to put it for I don’t even completely understand it, after all, it is the first time in this life, at least, that I have been here.
Pluto transit Juno/Descendant is feeling like one, huge contradiction.
So thought I’d place here the separate interpretations for this transit, then bundle it all up, and see what I can see, in it.
Your Support is Appreciated!
