"COW-A-BUN-GA!" The next two weeks are the perfect time to jump in and fearlessly tackle the projects you really want -- during the New Moon in Aries and with Hand Analysis energy of Courage and Fortitude.

ARIES -- The New Moon of Initiative
Sunday, April 6, 2008, 7:55 pm PDT

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

Heidi's father -- an Aries to be sure -- has always lived his life responding to a chorus of "You can't possibly do that!" with "Who says? Why not? I'm starting right now." He plunges forward into seemingly impossible situations determined to create that which did not exist before. As a result, he is the founder of his own University.

Aries is always moving forward and always has a new idea about how to create something that has never existed or change something that's grown stagnant. An Aries is heard to cry again and again, "What should I begin next? What should I initiate? What should I spearhead, lead, pioneer? What does not exist now that I can CREATE?!"

There is a Hand Analysis marking that taps us into this energy perfectly. It is called the Mars Star. To locate it, look for an intersection of at least three lines on the fleshy part of the edge of your palm, just below the knuckle at the base of your pointer (Jupiter) finger. Don't worry if you don’t see one. This will apply to everyone.

This marking represents the innate courage and fortitude that you posses. Now is the time to use it.

During the Full Moon of Aries, we had you turn inward and reflect on the areas of your life that are the most challenging and that require the most courage to tackle.

Now is the time to get in there and tackle one of your challenges that speaks to you the loudest.

It is time to access your inner warrior.

Try this:

Think about what you really want to take on.

Now -- keeping that in mind…

Access your Martian energy by getting into your body -- let out a pipe-cleansing scream. Punch pillow until you exhaust yourself. Go to a batting cage and hit some baseballs. Take up a martial art. Or if you practice yoga, engage in Warrior I, II or II for three minutes.

Harness that energy to take on what you really want. Defy the message that you can't.

Lynn -- by the way -- is also an Aries. That's how she can initiate LUNAPHASES, create systems in her work environment, and quickly climb the ladder to becoming a television producer. She has traveled solo throughout Central America, South America and Europe. Earlier this month, she pushed herself to her physical limit while running a marathon. This has given her the power to take on her next battle: to live a joyful life. She is currently restructuring her time to only be in situations where she feels seen, heard and acknowledged for the gifts she has to offer. Compared to where she was five years ago, her life is far more joyful. (She also celebrated her birthday by taking a handful of friends to a batting cage.)

From an Astrological perspective, the rather esoteric phrase for Aries is "I come forth and from the plane of mind, I rule." And the beauty of Aries is that once the idea exists, there is no shortage of courage to implement that very idea. Aries -- sometimes foolishly -- jump head-first into each new project with all the gusto, naiveté and bravado of a 14-year-old boy. Most of us need a little more gumption. Most of us need to call out a big "Who says? Why not? I'm starting right now!" to the universe -- or ourselves.

So during this Null Moon of Initiative... take some! Initiative, that is! Burst through the winter ice of your life to some new Spring. Breathe in the power of the new, the power of the idea that might change your life completely. Try saying something outrageous as you do it... like "cow-a-bunga!"

Announcing:

LUNAPHASES Live!

LUNAPHASES can be so lonely if you have nobody to share them with! But no more.

Introducing a monthly gathering in Los Angeles to actively celebrate the principles discussed in LUNAPHASES.

On the Tuesday evening following each Full Moon, we meet at various locations designed to inspire your creative energy.

Lynn and Heidi will introduce the monthly topic. We'll suggest how to integrate the ideas into your life. You get to share your own ideas and inspirations.

It's a meeting of the minds and hearts and people like you -- who benefit from genuine interaction and support. More to come...

Share with us what you are manifesting. We would love to hear (just email us or leave us a comment here on this blog)!

Coming up on the Horizon:
The Full Moon in Taurus introduces a new level of clarity of vision on April 20th -- along with the Hand Analysis skills of merging sensuality with Mars.
