Scorpio -- The New Moon of Test, Trial and Triumph

"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:

SCORPIO - The Full Moon of Test, Trial and Triumph

Look INTO the light... look INTO the light: The Full Moon in Scorpio is the perfect time to turn inward and notice your relationship to your own power. This is the test you must face, the trial you must undergo and the eventual triumph that is yours, if you do the work.

SCORPIO - The Full Moon of Test, Trial and Triumph
October 25, 2007, 10:51 pm PDT

It is now necessary to engage fully. You are entering the month when it is no longer wise or possible to sit quietly at the sidelines of the game. The Scorpio energy is all about wrestling with the dark in yourself and in the world. How do you engage your power for good and for ill? How do you wrestle towards the light?

Hand Analysis offers the perfect skill set for the month of Scorpio: The skill set to access your own Power. The Full Moon is the time for inward reflection. So, for these next two weeks, just begin to notice where in your life you stand in your power and where you give your power away.

Here's how:

Look for the telltale signs of standing in your power:
● You become a leader.
● You experience your own authority and positive influence over others.
● You stand your ground.
● You live your passions.
● You are able to empower your desires.
● You experience a strong sense of self and personal power.

Notice how/where you give your power away:
● You feel overwhelmed and helpless.
● Your boundaries become unclear and are not respected by others.
● You feel violated.
● You lose your sense of self.
● You become foggy and go emotionally numb.

Take advantage of the next two weeks to look inward and perform a little inventory of your life. Become more aware when you experience these aspects on a daily level. With the New Moon in Scorpio in two weeks, you'll be going to the next level of this skill set and move into action.

This will particularly resonate with people who have very strong pointer (Jupiter) fingers, or power give-away markings. Google is a great resource for this aspect of Hand Analysis information. For a closer look at your own hands, give Lynn a call.

From an Astrological perspective, the phrase for Scorpio is:

"Warrior am I and from the battle I emerge triumphant."

It's easy for Scorpio to be a time when the darker aspects of your personalities take hold. Scorpio rules the nine heads of the Hydra and each head creates a test within us.

The nine heads are:
● sex
● money
● comfort
● fear
● hatred
● ambition
● pride
● separativeness
● cruelty

Each of us has a head (or two) that saps your true power. When you spend your days letting any one of these heads "rule" as it were, you give away your strength.

That's why Scorpio rules the test you must face, the trial you must undergo and the eventual triumph that is yours if you do the work. You get to face yourself again and again. You get to be tested over a period of time. And then you can claim that you've done the work to stand more fully in your own light and positive use of power.

Create visual aids.
On an index card, write each of these words and put them up on a wall where you will see them every day for the next two weeks.

During the Scorpio Full Moon time, it is good to ask yourself where your true power is being misdirected. Which hydra head is ruling the day? Where is your life energy being sucked into negativity? Take this time for inner reflection.

And once you have the answer, you can remind yourself that you have the strength (through humility and perseverance) to win the day for your best self.
