SAGITTARIUS -- The Full Moon of Dreams and Vision


I DREAM, THEREFORE I AM:
The next two weeks are the perfect time to expand your horizons with the Full Moon in Sagittarius and the Hand Analysis skill set of I Want.

============================================

SAGITTARIUS -- The Full Moon of Dreams and Vision
Saturday, November 24, 2007, 6:30 am PST


Join Heidi on a journey back to the 70's, and the days of FREE TO BE YOU AND ME. If you were a parent or a child at that time, you might remember the record (yes, record) as well as the book. In the book, there is a picture of a boy and a girl, hand in hand, running in a land "where the children are free, free to be you and me." Horses run next to them on the open plains. They are full of idealism, energy and direction.

Welcome to Sagittarius -- the sign of exuberance, travel, freedom and the big vision. During the full moon of Sagittarius, it's your opportunity to set yourself free to explore -- you can receive the vision. You begin to open to the adventure that lies ahead. In two weeks, during the New Moon, will be the time to jump into action. During this month, you travel, take classes and envision or re-vision your life.

In Hand Analysis, we revisit the skill set of "I Want" and take it to another level. Last month, we focused on how to reclaim your power in your life. Now, you can use the same skill set to Write the Life You Want to Live.

Now is the time to think BIG -- beyond limits -- BIG. Envision what you want your life to look like. Now -- go beyond what feels safe. Dream big.

Try this:

● Go to a news stand and purchase a number of travel magazines. Clip out photos that resonate with you.

● Purchase a photo album, journal or three-ring-binder to use as your This Is What My Life Will Look Like book.

● Create a list of what you WANT in your life and start each item with, I WANT... There are no wrong things to put on this list. This is your time to dream. See how much permission you can give yourself during the next two weeks.

● Notice the voice that comes up that says, "That's too big" or "You don't deserve that." That voice is there to protect you... however it's not helping you right now. Ask yourself, "Who’s voice is that?" (Hint: It's NOT yours! You heard it from someone else first.) "Where did I get that message?" Just notice it for now, since the Full Moon is the time for inner reflection. No need to take any action here.

From an Astrological perspective, the Sagittarius phrase is "I see the goal. I reach the goal and then I see another." During the full moon of Sagittarius, you can open yourselves to renewed hope, optimism and the energy to Quest.

There is a specific marking in Hand Analysis called the Quest Marking. This resonates with people who, ultimately, your life and work are one and the same. This is not to be confused with identifying yourself with your profession. The Quest marking shows up on a person who seeks the meaning of their life, and then that meaning shows up in their work in their 50's and 60's.

The Quest aspect comes to fruition after dabbling in various forms of employment and life experiences. During that time you pick and choose skills that will be combined to create a completely unique contribution to the world through your work. As a result, your path can not be compared to anybody else's. You are on your own time frame. If this resonates with you and you would like more information, contact Lynn at

So in the Free-to-Be-70's style, use the Sagittarius Full Moon to remember:

(1) The glass IS half-full.


(2) We are all radically free to make our life an adventure.


(3) Your joyous journey (and first goal) awaits.


Coming up on the Horizon:
Sagittarius New Moon on December 9th brings your dreams to life.

SCORPIO – The New Moon of Test, Trial and Triumph


Embrace your inner super hero.
The next two weeks are the perfect time to activate your own power with the New Moon in Scorpio and the Hand Analysis Skill set of Power.


============================================

Scorpio -- The New Moon of Test, Trial and Triumph
November 9, 2007, 3:03 pm PST


"Is there anyone really ALIVE out there?" -- Bruce Springsteen

Heidi's husband loves Bruce Springsteen, and on a recent long drive down the coast Heidi listened to Bruce taunt the crowd about 10 times with that question. Each time the crowd roared with greater gusto.

Perhaps some of us are feeling -- during this Scorpio month -- like screaming, "Is there anyone really ALIVE IN here?" It's very possible during this time that many of us are feeling a bit stuck in our patterns of feeling powerless and overwhelmed. These feelings may also manifest as "Am I really STILL stuck in this particular pattern -- after ALL these years???"

Thankfully, Hand Analysis offers the perfect skill set to break this pattern -- the skill set of Power. During the New Moon, it's time to activate this skill set.

The key to accessing your power is two-fold:

Find, claim and protect your emotional space with the use of "I AM..." statements.

Know and embrace your own desires with the use of "I WANT..." statements.

Here's how to apply this idea:

1. Create a log of your daily activities for one week.

2. Next to each activity, note:

               "I AM feeling... about this" or

               "This activity makes me feel..." and

               "I WANT this activity to be like..."

3. Compare what your days look like to the way you want them to look like.

4. Then circle three (3) activities that call out to you the loudest and you are ready to change.

               Share them with us. We would love to hear.

Oftentimes, when you are not in your own power, you become resentful -- of other people, or your job, or where you feel overburdened.

Resentment is the result of you getting off track with what is right for you.

It's not as simple as learning to say, "no"... our apologies, Nancy Reagan. It goes beyond "no." It's "I am not okay with that" or "I want to do things differently" for example.

When you establish what you want, you are Taking A Stand For Who You Are. By taking a stand for who you are, you build respect -- self-respect for speaking up for yourself, and respect from those around you.

Try this:

Make a list of what you currently resent in your life. Then go back through time to determine at which point each situation no longer worked for you. Maybe what you signed on at first was a good idea, but became more demanding as time went on. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to begin with.

It's very important for you to know at which point you chose to participate in things that do not work for you. This will help you avoid building resentment in the future.

And... you may be in the position to clear things up by coming clean with your feelings. Here's an example: "I'm sorry you've been getting weird signals from me. I just haven't been taking care of myself. You know, had I been on my game, I would have said two weeks ago that I wasn't really available."

From an Astrological perspective, the New Moon in Scorpio offers you the opportunity to be a warrior for yourself -- brandish your metaphorical sword and dive into patterns that have become intolerable.

You must stand your ground in your own inner landscape and declare "Enough!" The New Moon in Scorpio is the perfect moment to dance with power in a new way. You must face -- again and again -- what is making your life less than desirable. Then reclaim your power for the good, for yourself, for your passions. The trial of Scorpio is showing up to face the dark, repeatedly, until you see it as an opportunity to fully step into your true self.

What do you want to emerge victorious over? Fill in this sentence: I am Victor over ___________. What? Sloth? Self-sabotage? Self-pity? Fear? Reluctance? Procrastination? During this Scorpio New Moon, you can go a long way to making that statement ring with TRUTH. Hang it on your mirror. Say it with gusto!

Is there anybody really ALIIIIIIVEEE in there?

Lynn continues to train for the upcoming Los Angeles AIDS Marathon and has just run 12 miles! At about 8 miles, it becomes very challenging, but the thought of accomplishing her lifetime record is what motivated her through the rough spot. At mile 10, it became clear that she was nearly home -- and she kept her training group right on pace! No easy task. This takes a level of commitment and challenge that is unlike any other in her life. Talk about feeling victorious! If you find this inspiring and would like to sponsor Lynn, please click here:

After Scorpian triumph comes freedom at all costs in the Sagittarius Full Moon on November 24th.
