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:)

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.

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.

Full Moon in Aquarius – Sunday 14th August 2011

13/08/2011 Joh astrology

In the early hours of Sunday morning, the moon will be full in Aquarius. It was under a cover of cloud tonight when we ventured out for dinner, but I’m guessing it’s large under there.

Today has been relaxing.

Full Moon in Capricorn – Friday 15th July 2011

14/07/2011 Joh astrology, blogging

What no eclipse? Yes, this is an eclipse free moon. Looks full already! There are some other alignments that are ‘ones to watch’ and Linda Hill’s post on this moon, highlights the sabian symbols activated. Jessica has an excellent suggestion in her post, Inhale your Authority Spell and since reading it I’ve been questioning my authority. It’s a good thing to claim your responsibility in your situations. It gives you power to stay, leave, change or just think about things in a different way. It really struck a chord with me.

My favourite astrological post today was from Mystic Medusa, Era Shifting. Nothing at all really to do with this full moon. I believe quite relevant now, what do you think?

There are a lot of changes happening in the world right now. I was checking out this site last night (due to it’s association with Megan from The Junk Wave a blogging friend) about an RTO in Cairns, MOM Training College.  It looks like a very exciting educational space with plenty of innovative projects and quite a different philosophy from the RTO’s I’m familiar with. I like it. I think that kind of reframing of institutions is wonderful.

I feel quite interested in following some of the things that are emerging from all the crisis’s going on. I agree with MM, I don’t subscribe to the whole end of the world stuff either. It’s clear things are changing so perhaps it is the end of the world as we’ve known it. Thinking that the world is going to end is a cop out and it’s time to get busy making a world that works better now, even if it is just your own world.

I’ve tried Google+ this week. It’s ok. Quiet really. Interesting to watch how people approach the new space. Some are jumping right in creating huge networks. I can see some advantages to having seperate circles so as to keep relevant to different areas of your life. I haven’t plunged right into the learning curve yet though. I have also been reminded about of tumblr this week. A student started a blog there and added me to it. There are very few people from my other circles on Tumblr. It’s interesting and a new space. I think I am more interested in exploring my tumblr right now than Google+. I notice that it’s just so easy to go to facebook or google because there are links to them everywhere. We think the internet is so random, yet our advertising is targeted and there are clearly some online companies that have created such a presence that they are almost unavoidable. I

I have so much to say today, I’ve had a full and interesting day. I might tell you about the rest tomorrow:)

Full Moon in Sagittarius – Total Lunar Eclipse – 16th June 2011

15/06/2011 Joh astrology, Business, learn, love, work

This full moon eclipse is in my sun sign. I have always loved it. The rest of my chart is pretty earthy and watery, so this fire sign gives me the passion and courage to do a lot of things I wouldn’t without it. When I first began learning about astrology, I identified totally with Sagittarius and it didn’t bother me a bit! I loved most of the attributes. Read Mystic Medusa’s take on Haute Sagittarius – Low Sagittarius. I can identify with the good and the bad.

I keep reading that eclipses are nothing to fear, it’s just a time of opening and closing doors. One of the astrologers I ‘like’ on facebook Astrosparkles has written a great note about this eclipse : Getting to the truth (or heart) of the matter. It covers all the essentials you will need to decipher how this eclipse could play out for you.

Tonight Darin is at his ‘Men’s Cooking Class’ he has been teaching at the Neighbourhood House. This week has been quite intense business wise. We have some pressure and decisions we need to make about our lease and we are looking at ways to expand and as always with a business there are many different ways to go and choosing one and committing to it requires head miles. I am enjoying this time alone to think. It’s been an interesting week and all kinds of information has come to me in interesting ways. I certainly know I am alive right now:).

I was a CRT today. I can’t call it teaching because it is a shell of what a teacher does. It’s actually relaxing (sorry to any teachers reading this). I guess it is like that because my heart is not invested in it. I am in and out. I don’t get too involved. My skill level at teaching has more than advanced the ability to manage a class of students, dish out work from their regular teacher, and support that work to be completed in the class. The ease sometimes makes me wonder what the hell I am doing slugging it out in a small business. I guess I am a sucker for a learning curve. That’s not to say I couldn’t learn more as a teacher, but I felt frustrated in that system. I liked the people and the school I worked for. I just don’t believe in that education system anymore. There are a lot of Sagittarian themes right there in that paragraph!

Anyway I will leave you with a quote from another blog I’ve started reading from the post ‘More About The Sagittarius Lunar Eclipse’

“Yes” is the Sagittarian motto. Sagittarius is possibility, options, hope, faith, trust, luck and chocolate (I lied about the last one….chocolate is actually ruled by Venus). Still, you get the idea. Sagittarius is a sign that brims with happiness.

Eclipses have an intimidating reputation but they are really just open doors. And tomorrow the door should open onto something really nice.

and whether or not it is sensible, that is exactly how I feel tonight.

Full Moon in Scorpio – Tuesday 17th May 2011

16/05/2011 Joh astrology, family

Tomorrow is a Scorpio Full Moon. Lynda Hill’s post The Banging Drum – What Is The Message? May’s Scorpio Full Moon talks about wars and noise. I wonder if it will ease as the week continues. I certainly hope so.  Scorpio is a water sign. It’s emotional and intense, not one to cross. I’m going to take some time out this week to nurture myself a bit more. The days are darker and I’m feeling tired.

I’ve had a lovely weekend. Darin’s parents and children have been here and I’ve enjoyed watching them delight in each others company. It reminds me of my own grandparents. It’s my nana’s birthday tomorrow. I feel so blessed to have had her loving presence in my life.

* Oops I wrote March instead of May! Corrected now:)

Full Moon in Libra – 18th April 2011

18/04/2011 Joh astrology, gratitude, learn

The full moon was around lunchtime today. The following post was insightful for me:

Lynda Hill:Assessing Asserting Assuming and Aligning: April’s Libra Full Moon

So my laptop arrived back today. I was delighted to have it back. I went to the local computer shop in Church St. They kept me informed during the process, delivered earlier than promised and backed up all my information for me. The computer was still under warranty so it didn’t cost me any money. The hard drive has been replaced. Whilst I haven’t lost any music, photo’s or documents, because that was all backed up, I have lost all the software. I’ve had to reinstall all the software I have. I’ve also lost all my email and email addresses although, some of them are probably elsewhere, cause I’ve backed them up before.  I’ve lost the comfort of having things as I am used to them….again! This must be about the 10th time I have been through this process, I think I need to change my habits and make sure I store the things that I want or rely on to make life easy, better, or something. I’m learning something from this upset, but it hasn’t quite clicked into place yet! I know what the problems are but what I need to find is the solution.

I guess having limited access to a computer for bit over 2 weeks, I’ve come to realise that I rely on it for a lot of information. I’m starting to question though, what parts of my interaction with technology do I really need or want. I’ve also realised how much time I used to spend on it and I don’t want to go back to using that much time each day. I like the simplicity of my life when it’s less connected.  I want to give this whole area some more thought.
