PISCES -- The New Moon of Compassion
Friday, March 7, 2008, 9:14 am PST

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

There is an astrological blueprint -- an astrological chart -- for each moment in time. Every Full Moon and New Moon has an individual chart that captures the particular texture of that precise moment. Generally in LUNAPHASES, Heidi has focused on the qualities of the sign of the Full or New Moon and how we can cultivate the beauty of that sign more entirely.

This New Moon, however, is quite potent in its line up, making it one of the most powerful times to awaken compassionate communication that can make a real difference.

Uranus, the awakener, sits next to the New Moon and the planets Venus, Neptune and Mercury are all gathered together in Aquarius. Add to that Jupiter in Capricorn in harmony with a Taurus ascendant.

Heidi is aware most of that will sound like astrological gobbledygook, but here's the key: Uranus will awaken the compassion of Pisces. Mercury, Neptune and Venus will create a beautiful, inspired, unifying message and the earth signs of Capricorn and Taurus will make it real.

What does this mean for you?

Now that you've spent a couple of weeks in your sanctuary, it's time to emerge and offer what you discovered there -- whether to your lover, your friends or your family. It's easy to feel overwhelmed with feeling or to hide the true texture of your heart, but now is the time to offer up your inspired message. Open wide and speak the poetry of your heart.

Six months ago, in response to a LUNAPHASES call to taking on a new commitment, Lynn decided to begin training for the Los Angeles Marathon.

Lynn raised nearly $1,700 with the National AIDS Marathon organization, and the proceeds went to AIDS Project, Los Angeles, which provides vital services for 8,600 people living with HIV in the L.A. area.

On Sunday, March 2nd, Lynn ran her first marathon.

What struck Lynn the most was how so many people were brought together in this event. The metro was packed with nearly 20,000 runners at 6:30 am, to get to the start line at Universal Studios -- 20,000 strangers encouraging each other, offering advice and wishing each other good luck. The energy was incredibly positive and uplifting.

Residents in every neighborhood came out to cheer on the runners and offered oranges, bananas and water. There were traditional drummers in Koreatown, South Central and in Little Tokyo. In the poorest neighborhood on the course, they came to the sidewalk with garden hoses and sprayed down the runners. A little girl, at Mile 17, stood in the middle of the road with a big bowl of ice cubes.

Los Angeles, on that day, came together with compassion and support on a level that Lynn could have never imagined.

Also, she experienced amazing support from her friends and family. At Mile 4, one friend passed Lynn apple slices. One friend was on a bicycle and showed up at Miles 8, 12, 13, 16 and stayed with Lynn from Mile 24 to the end. Two other friends came with posters that read, "Roses are Red, Al Gore is Green. Show us your tits, you're at Mile 13." They were laden with ice water, chocolate and salty nuts. These provisions are what kept Lynn and her teammates going. And Lynn's unfailing husband rode the metro to every stop that was on the course. He ended up running with Lynn up to the finish line.

Lynn was crying from Mile 23 to the finish line. Yes, she was in pain. But, more than that -- it was that her efforts -- huge efforts -- made an impact on so many people... her friends and family, the people who donated, the people who came out to cheer, and the 8,600 people living with HIV in her city.

In Hand Analysis, there is a gift marking that unites most of the components that are in this year’s New Moon in Pisces. The marking is called the Line of Clairvoyance, which is found on your palm running from under your pinky (Mercury) finger and encasing the fleshy part of your palm. Don't worry if you don't have the line. This will apply to everyone.

This represents the part of you that has direct access to your source.

So -- what do you have in your life that connects you to what is bigger than just yourself?

Where are you when you feel most supported -- by the universe?

Notice how all judgment -- of yourself and others -- disappears.

Notice how compassion creeps in.

When you are connected to source, you become inspired.

Your experience is what we all need to hear.

Now is the time for you to reach down deep, connect to source, and share your message with the world.

Try this:

Go for a walk in nature. Look at baby pictures. Garden. Meditate.
Notice how you feel when you are connected to the world.
Notice what has been percolating, and is ready to come out.

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

CAPRICORN - The Full Moon of Structured Ascent

Go tell it on the Mountain: Now is the time to focus in on your goals with the Full Moon in Capricorn and the Hand Analysis skill set of Self Worth through Discipline.

CAPRICORN -- The Full Moon of Structured Ascent
Sunday, December 23, 2007, 5:15 pm PST

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

The Full Moon in Capricorn asks you to identify the mountain in your life that you must climb. It is a mountain of achievement. It's a very specific mountain, a mountain you have chosen, a mountain that is your ultimate test.

You may have known this mountain for years already. You may be well on your way to the top. Or you may have just arrived at its base. In either case, the only way to reach the summit is through steady, practical, sober steps towards the light at the top.

The New Year ushers in a new refreshing energy. You reaffirm the presence of the great mountain in your life. You recommit to the mountain ascent. But too often, the reaffirmation, recommitment or resolution is not grounded. Your well-intentioned resolutions fall by the wayside because you overlook the small, grounded steps that it takes to reach the summit goal.

Hand Analysis to the rescue! Now is the time to focus your excited new energy on a single point -- and with the Hand Analysis skill set of Self Worth through Discipline, you'll have greater momentum to reach your goals.

Your Self Discipline is directly proportional to your Self Worth. It's not fun. It's not sexy. But it's true.

Lynn is taking six months to train for the Los Angeles marathon. (March 2, 2008!) She has never run before in her life... and she's on the other side of 40-years-old. By participating in a structured marathon-training program, she is incrementally building up her endurance and mileage. Last weekend, she ran 20 miles! She follows strict pacing guidelines and has incurred no blisters or injuries... although the lactic acid build up in her legs was excruciating. Amazingly, two days later, she was completely recovered from her 20-mile run.

Already, Lynn has exceeded her expectations of her own physical capabilities. Through weekly runs in a supportive and structured environment, she has surpassed her own perceived physical limitations. She feels triumphant. (If you would like to support her in her efforts of raising funds for the Aids Project, Los Angeles, please click here.)

Here's the key to making your resolutions stick:

● Break it down. How long do you have to complete your goal? Create your time frame. Then break down the big picture into little pieces. What are you doing this week... next week...

● Take Human Bites. Take steps that are actually achievable. Your self worth grows with the success of each step.

● Share your progress with your friends. It is with support and a cheering section that you will break through to the next phase.

From an Astrological perspective, Capricorn energy is steady and diligent, if you are willing, and it offers you a promise of extraordinary light when you achieve your goal.

The planet Saturn rules Capricorn. Saturn offers structure and discipline. It rules work. It rules time, mortality and the energy of the father.

If Saturn were to speak at the time of the full moon, it would say, "I am here so that you may learn to be the true parent of your life. I am here to remind you that you have work to do and that you are fully capable of doing it, if you choose to address each task systematically and with great patience and discipline. I am here to truly set you free by insisting you do the work you are here to do."

At this Full Moon, be your own kind Saturn. Say to yourself, "I am here to be the parent in my life. I am here to remind myself that I am fully capable of doing whatever I set out to do."

Realize that you and only you can achieve unimaginable success (spiritual or material) by doing the work, day by day, that is before you.

So, Yes -– set that goal, and Yes -– make those New Year's resolutions. In the next LUNAPHASES, we will take the one that speaks to you the loudest and offer support in making it happen.
