New Moon in Aquarius – 23rd January 2012 – Chinese New Year

23/01/2012 Joh astrology

I have read that the Year of the Dragon doesn’t actually start until 4th of February on Kim Falconers 11th House blog. I love Kim’s new blog. It’s a great read. We are having dinner tonight with friends to celebrate the New Year. Monday night is not really a party night though. I have in no way cleared my home of clutter this year. It will be clean enough. I’m not sure what I do with all my time lately!

This new moon in Aquarius is taking place around 6pm. When the moon is new in this sign, it’s a good time to hit the reset button of your mind. Aquarius is an air sign, so think mental. Air signs are also about communications. Check the delicious feed for more reading on this new moon.

Full Moon in Cancer – Monday 9th January 2012

09/01/2012 Joh astrology, music

Relationships are highlighted this full moon. My relationships have been blessed lately. There were some special moments for me over Christmas that meant the world to me. Love and others are the most important and powerful things in my life.

The blog posts I’ve enjoyed about this full moon are in my delicious feed in the sidebar of this page. If you are into astrology, I put all the posts I read that I think are good there:).

If things are not so cruisy for you right now, this U2 song has been the most helpful to me when I’ve felt fraught with angst.

Full Moon in Gemini – Lunar Eclipse – Sunday 11th December 2011

09/12/2011 Joh astrology

The eclipse happens in the wee hours of Sunday morning. I thought it was going to happen tomorrow all week. I just checked and it’s Sunday here in Australia. This week has been a bit mad and busy and as Kelly Surtees post mentioned this morning the high and low tides reflects in our emotions.

Eclipses in December are pressure cookers. We are busy completing things and preparing for the festive season and whilst an eclipse is possibly right it adds some intensity. Here’s Jo Tracey’s day, which reminds me of some of the conversations I’ve had this week.

I’m tired tonight. It’s been pretty warm here today. I had a big weekend last weekend. My birthday celebrations and the 10 to 10 filled out most of my weekend and spilled over into the week (well the birthday part anyway). I felt very grateful. I enjoyed catching up with the old school buddies. It’s deserving of a post in itself.

I’ve finalised work arrangements for next year. I have started planning my part-time project for next year after having a 6 month contract confirmed late last week. I’m working with disengaged students at school for a couple of days as well as at the local Neighbourhood House one day a week. The list of students keeps growing. Sometimes I feel a bit overwhelmed by it all. I’m also finishing up with my current students. Many of them are not looking forward to Christmas. I listen to them and that’s about all I’m good for. I can’t make it all better. Excitement about the challenge of the project will come, but probably not until after I’ve had a rest:).

I’ve had to rearrange my days at Choices also and I felt concerned that it wouldn’t work for them. I find the contrast between my two jobs so refreshing. The school offered me to work full-time but although it would be more money, I think I would burn out quickly. Having two and a half days ‘playing’ with floor coverings and homemakers is like an antidote to the sadness of some of the young people I work with who live in a different world. I finally had the conversation and it was no problem. My boss there is flexible and appreciates me. It is a good feeling.

There is more but I’m having an early night:)

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius – Friday 25th November

24/11/2011 Joh astrology

I have the Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius. It’s all action for us right now. Mercury is retrograde in Sagittarius, as it was when I was born. All that I’ve read about this eclipse points to good things so nothing to fear here.

For a quick glimpse from one of my favourite astrologers Mystic Medusa. There is a great offer on the post. I am a subscriber of MM’s writings and scopes. It’s a bargain. She is always informative, entertaining and helpful.

The dark moon prescription for resting up is a little inconvenient for me because I’m really busy. I am tired, so it’ll be an early night for me. Tomorrow’s new moon will be great and I think the eclipse will make it an even brighter start.

Full Moon in Taurus – Friday 11th November 2011

07/11/2011 Joh astrology, family, food

Yes that’s right we have a full moon on that date 11/11/11.

It’s also Remembrance Day. Yesterday I bought a wrist band instead of the usual poppy. It’s really pretty. The past 10 years I’ve been in a school and this day has been observed with a brief ceremony. This year I’ll be working in a shop so I’ll have to remember without the usual structures.  Maybe I’ll set an alarm on my phone.

 

Taurus is a very sensual sign. All the Taurus born I’ve known are foodies. When I was at The Butchers Dog, many of our customers were Taurus, one in particular I remember fondly would even send her mum in to get food she read on the Facebook status, cause she didn’t want to miss out. I had to ask her one day and she was as I expected a Taurean. It is the one star sign I can often pick. Two of my closest people, my nana and my son are this sign. Probably not a good day to start a diet:).

Here is a post from Ruby Slipper I have read for this full moon. I will add my favourites to my delicious feed as I read them. I am posting this early as I have a busy week and want to have this done if I don’t get time.

New Moon in Scorpio – Thursday 27th October 2011

25/10/2011 Joh astrology

Scorpio is a magnetic and intense sign. The new moon in this sign is looking like a powerful one. It’s the dark moon now so to prepare for what’s ahead read Ruby Slipper:New Moon Cheat Sheet.

The phoenix is a symbol associated with Scorpio. This photo is from a float and the faces are of organ donors. It’s a great symbol for hope and renewal.

I like the rebirth theme for this new moon. I’m feeling it. I’ve been tying up lots of loose ends and sorting out my financial life. My finances were on autopilot for so many years while I was a teacher.  I’m working part time and casual, it takes a bit more thought and I’ve had a few messes to clean up too. It’s best not to ignore things and hope they go away… they don’t!

I’m starting a new job on Thursday, so it’s good timing. I’m working part-time in a floor and window covering business in a nearby town. I’m looking forward to assisting people to make their homes into beautiful and functional spaces. I went for the interview and it was a painless process. I liked the man who will be my boss. He seems very honest and fair. It will be an enjoyable shift of focus for a couple of days a week. I enjoyed working in soft furnishings in the 90s. I love the samples and working with colours and textures. There are some amazing tiles.

12/10/2011 Joh astrology

The moon is full around lunchtime today. Aries is a fire sign. Watch out for short tempers. Lynda Hill’s Sabian Symbols is the only post I’ve had time to read about this one. I will add to delicious the other posts I read about this moon for those who are interested. In a big hurry today:).

New Moon in Libra – Tuesday 27th September 2011

27/09/2011 Joh astrology, friends, gratitude, health

I’ve taken the dark moon prescription and rested. Mystic Medusa had some classic posts (Your Dark Moon on Speed) about the dark moon.

I’ve had shingles. The Friday before the holidays I came home from school and started to feel the painful tingle in my face and noticed some red lumps had formed along my jaw up to my ear. Darin was returning from a brief visit to Sydney and I was excited about him coming home. I missed him.  I spent most of my time in the last week in bed. I have slept a lot, sooked a bit and been well looked after. He’s been cooking me healthy meals and taking care of the things I couldn’t as well as just being there for me in lots of small ways.  I missed my friend’s wedding. I felt very sorry for myself. Today I feel better.

Libra is a sign of balance and relationship. Venus the planet of beauty and abundance rules Libra (along with Taurus). One of my close friends, Wilma is Libran and has excellent taste and communication skills you would associate with one. We were in business together in ‘Unique Furnishings’ and ‘Total Vision’ both soft furnishings/interior decorating businesses. It was a fun and social time of my life.

Wilma’s daughter got married on Friday and although I couldn’t go, I know it would have been beautiful. I have known Dallis since she was 3 and Nathan is a worthy man for her. When I met Nathan I felt comfortable and I liked him. It was instantly fun in their space.

Strange Attractors by Kim Falconer

18/09/2011 Joh astrology, reading

Book Three of the ‘Quantum Enchantment’ series was the best yet. I put a lot of it down to becoming familiar with the characters and having a sense of the lands and time travel. These books are vastly interesting with a great mix of magic, technology, time travel and astrology.

I loved the twists in this book. The characters are interesting. This time I paid more attention and noticed An’ Lawrence was a Virgo p242:). Should have paid more attention in the first book and I could have won Mystic Medusa’s competition:). If you are into astrology you will love this series. I can’t wait to begin the next trilogy.

Full Moon in Pisces – Monday 12th September 2011

12/09/2011 Joh astrology

My natal moon is in Pisces, but it wasn’t full… just a quarter:) To give some idea of the range of Pisces, check out this link to Mystic Medusa’s fabulous Hi-Low series for Pisces.
These are the posts I’ve read about this full moon occurring here at around 7.30 tonight:

September’s full Moon, occurring on September 12, speaks about having food on the table and being able to nurture your self and others and provide for life’s necessities. The Sabian Symbol is Pisces 20: A Table Set For An Evening Meal.

Lynda Hill

This Full Moon will bring us the rewards of work we’ve done up to now! It’s a harvest time, with lots of great activity gathering what we need that we’ll be able to use in practical ways in the very near future.

Aquarius Papers

There’s a dreamy, saturated Full Moon in Pisces on September 12th. Expect an emphasis on creativity, glamour and compassion but also disappointment, escape and addiction.

Ruby Slipper

and to bring a smile

There seem to be less crazies about than most Full Moons – i think it’s because the Zap Zone of June to August was SO intense, even the people who want to go ape can’t be bothered.

Mystic Medusa

My weekend was good. The macarons were yummy, but looked nothing like they should. The nougat was a complete failure… way too runny. I need to use the thermometer next time. Asha’s party went well.
