<<<<is it supposed to be like that? I mean does it usually have this kind of effect on people? I have been a bit bitchy too. short tempered, and had to bite my tongue once or twice.
Tina>>>
When the Moon is in your Sun or Moon sign the qualities of that sign are amplified. For Scorps, who tend to brood and be moody sometimes anyway, the aspects to other planets will determine your mood. This Scorpio Moon seems to be affecting more than the Scorpios, though. Sag, however, is a happy-go-lucky sign, so when the Moon moves into this sign, things will lighten up considerably. Below is some information about Scorpio and Sagittarius Moons. I will send the complete article later.
SCORPIO: This fixed, feminine, water sign is co-ruled by Mars and Pluto. This Moon doesn't mess around. She's all dressed up in her formal black, looking so good she knows you can't take your eyes off her. Scorpio is the most intense sign out there, and when the Moon is here, she feels everything to the absolute nth degree. Everything. Needless to say, we do, too. Passion, joy, jealousy, betrayal, love, and desire--they take center stage in our lives now, as all our emotions deepen to the point of possible obsession. Be careful of a tendency to become secretive and suspicious, or to brood or stew over an offense that was not intended. Now's a great time to play detective, to investigate a mystery, do research, dig--both figuratively and literally--and to allow ourselves to become intimate with someone.
Here's a Moon that can love just as intensively as she can hate--at the same time, too. If you own one, you're a natural-born firewalker, ready to do that and more to prove your feelings for someone. You're the best friend and the worst enemy to have. You understand--and experience-- the true extent of feelings, from agony to ecstasy. The intensity of your feelings, in fact, is what makes you know you're alive. You stew and smolder and own a passion that's just barely concealed. Others wonder why they're so drawn to you. You can get through absolutely anything because you're built for endurance, but the other side of endurance is obsession. Watch for the possibility of rerunning every situation, wondering what "they really meant by that." You can use your natural detective ability to understand the people around you and become an excellent judge of character. Here are others with this Moon: Prince Andrew, Warren Beatty, James Dean, Quincy Jones, Bruce Lee.
SAGITTARIUS: Here's the Moon at her most optimistic, nonjudgmental, and positive. Sagittarius is ruled by benevolent Jupiter, so now's a time when we'll be more likely to shrug things off, let them go, and laugh about it. Of course, Jupiter's also the planet of long-distance travel and educating the higher mind, so now's a great time to take off for a two-day adventure or take a seminar on a topic you've always been interested in--say, philosophy or religion. Expect your intuitive abilities to run on high now, too--this is the sign with the gift of prophecy. Sag loves to collect knowledge, experiences, and wisdom, so when the Moon's in this sign, she's dressed for any adventure, complete with a backpack and world atlas. Spend time outdoors, be spontaneous, and laugh much too loudly when the Moon is here. Now's the time to truly enjoy life--just watch for a tendency towards excess, waste, and overdoing.
If you were born with the Moon here, you have the soul of a comedian, a philosopher, and a preacher. You probably always have a smile on your face--or at least a half-smile. You were born believing that everything will work out just fine, no matter what, that everything will unfold just as it should. You have a gift for lending this same optimism to those who really need it, and an innate faith in the universe--which seldom lets you down. This Moon wrote the song "Don't Worry, Be Happy." You're the true emotional optimist of the zodiac, a real giver--an overextender even--who always lands on your feet. Since your Moon is Jupiter-powered, no matter what you feel, you feel it hugely. You're quite at home on the road, and that includes foreign countries. You'll probably end up living somewhere that's far, far away from your birthplace, too. Watch for a tendency to be a bit too Pollyanna-like in your expectations of others, and for the possibility of leaning towards bingeing or overindulging in something to pick you up when you're having that unusually blue kind of day. Here are other Moon-in-Sag folks: John Belushi, Liberace, Mozart, Christopher Reeve, Oprah Winfrey.
Love Each Day,
Lady Nightshayde

How the Moon Affects Your Moods--Part 1
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Tue Mar 22, 2011 7:26 pm (PDT)
How The Moon Affects Your Moods
Part 1
Our Moon is the Queen of the Night, the ultimate feminine energy. She's a lovely lady in silver who circles our planet protectively in her monthly--or should I say "moonthly"--orbit, amazing us with her ability to change, yet remain constant. As the Head of the Department of Feelings, she's also the bringer of moods--another great Moon word--and the Keeper of the Ambiance. Her subtle power is apparent in the tides, as she calls the ocean to her and sends it away, but we feel her influence ebb and flow through our bodies, too. Our changing emotions are a powerful reminder that she is also in charge of the internal ocean of fluids that keep us alive. She shows off her magic as she shivers and dances on the water, insisting that we watch, but, in truth, it's impossible not to look at her, especially when she's Full. The Moon doesn't just invite us to look, she hypnotizes us as she appears and disappears, winding her way around the Earth. No matter what her phase, she makes us sigh and dream and wish, and she brings back memories. When she disappears to rest and lay her plans at Dark Moon, we search for her and wonder what magic she's about to conjure up in our lives.
In our charts, the Moon is just as much of an enigma. She prefers to react, rather than act, so she stands back and watches from her vantage point in our bellies. She offers her counsel to our Sun as it charges through life gobbling up experiences. She's where we keep our instinct and our ability to express our feelings. She points both to how we were nurtured and how we'll nurture, and makes us aware of the incredible bond we share with our mother--the human whose body we actually lived inside for nine months. She decides what's safe for us and what's not, and shows how we'll cope when we're hurt. She's silent, potent, and ever-present, the undercurrent that flows through each of our days, subtly but powerfully influencing our reactions to what life has to offer.
The Moon Through The Signs
Since the Moon flows through a sign every two-and-a-half days, her reputation for constant change is well deserved. Signs describe how we'll do the things we do--like a costume or an outfit that shows the style of behavior a planet will display as it goes about its business. The Moon changes her symbolic costume even more than Mercury, the fastest of planets, who whips through a sign in as little as two weeks. Since the Moon rules the emotional tone of the day, which tells us what to expect from one another collectively, it's good to know what type of mood she's in at any given moment. Since she's the subtle undercurrent that produces our own moods, too, the sign she was in when we were born says an awful lot about how we'll express our feelings when they rear their little heads. Well, here's your answer-key, a thumbnail sketch to help you understand the Moon both as she appears in people around you and as she influences the tone of the day.
ARIES: Here's the Moon in her fiery best, strutting around in red, feeling bold, impulsive, and extremely energetic. This is Mar's favorite sign, so you'll know when the Moon is here without even checking your calendar. It's a two-day period when everyone's feeling feisty and argumentative, when nobody's about to let you step on their blue-suede shoes and get away with it, when even the meekest of us aren't afraid to take a stand in our own defense--especially to protect our feelings. Since Aries is the first sign, and a natural starting point for all kinds of projects, this Moon sign is also a wonderful time to channel all that "me-first" energy to initiate changes and new beginnings. Just watch out for a tendency to be too impulsive and stress oriented.
If you were born with the Moon in Aries, God help anyone who hurts you. They'll be conjuring the wrath of the War-God, Ares--and he's no lightweight. You folks learned early on to defend yourselves. As a result, it's natural for you to fire first and aim later when you feel as if you're under attack emotionally. You also learned that if your needs were going to be taken care of, you'd have to do it yourself, so these are the true survivors of the Zodiac, even more so than Aries Suns. This Moon/Mars combination also points to the fact that no matter what it is you're feeling, it's going to come out passionately. If you're sad, you'll act it out by expressing anger. If you're happy, you'll be extremely high-energy--just take a look at these examples of Aries Moons: Marlon Brando, Ellen Burstyn, James Cagney, Grace Jones, Lily Tomlin, Jerry Garcia. (See? Not a quitter--or quiet one--in the bunch.)
TAURUS: The Moon in Taurus garb is in her earthiest finery, all done up in rich browns and fertile greens. This Moon sign is The Lady at her most solid and sensual, feeling secure and well-rooted in her sister Venus's garb. There's no need to stress or hurry--and definitely no need to change anything. That's how you'll feel when the Moon is in this sign--that all is quite well in your world, thank you, and there's no need to rock the boat. We tend to resist all changes when the Moon is in this sign, and most especially those changes that are not of our own making. We'd rather sit still, have a wonderful dinner, and listen to good music. We're into appreciating physical pleasures and enjoying the beauty of this Earth planet--a truly Venusian activity--when the Moon is here. It's time to watch a sunset, view some good art, take care of money and other resources, and hug the ones we love.
If you were born with the Moon in this sign--lucky you! Your Moon is one of the happiest around. You're well equipped to handle emotions of any kind. Nothing--but nothing--rocks you. Not for long. You're the very soul of constancy--in times of turmoil, you put up, bear up, and stay put. You may even be a bit too constant, in fact. Watch for a tendency to fall into an emotional rut--because once you start feeling, it's difficult for you to stop. You love quality in all things--friends included. When the going gets tough, you do, indeed, go shopping--and because you're so fond of shopping, you have the coziest, cushiest nest around, full of pretty things--beautiful art, soft couches, down pillows, and expensive chocolates. Your soul comes alive when there's music playing and at least one bottle of 100-year-old scotch or very fine wine on the premises. Regardless of your sex, you're the Earth Mother we're all looking for. Thank you for spreading your warmth over us--and just look at the company you keep: Glen Campbell, Mick Jagger, Elton John, Vincent Price, Diana Ross. (Singers, musicians, gourmet chefs, and entrepreneurs--and everyone with that "I Have A Right To Be Here" attitude.)
GEMINI: Gemini Moons are built for activity. This is a mutable air sign, so it likes to move around--quickly--and when the Moon is passing through this sign, we like to travel quickly, too. This Moon's costume is a coat of many colors, appropriate to her motto: "Variety is the spice of life." Since Gemini is the sign that's ruled by Mercury, the Head of the Communications Department, we're suddenly in the mood for witty conversation, and for puzzles, riddles, and word games. We want two (at least two) of everything and we're a bit more restless than usual. Now is a great time for letter writing, phone calls, or short trips. Now's when you'll find the best shortcuts and when you'll need to take them, too--everyone tends to plan an awful lot of activity under Gemini Moons. Watch for a tendency to become a bit scattered, however, when the Moon is here. Basically, this fun, fickle, airy Moon was tailor-made for having just a taste of everything.
If you were born with the Moon in this sign, you're an expert at flexibility and mobility--which might mean that you drive a lot, and might mean that you move a lot. In fact, if you own a Gemini Moon, you may move so much that you can't ever remember your current area code, or your zip code, or which channels go with which networks in the town you're currently transiting. Still, after only a month or two, you'll be the best shortcut finder around, and you'll know everyone at every business you frequent. You have the innate instincts of a writer and the mind of a coyote. Fickle? Well, maybe, but only if you're bored. Boredom, in fact, is the one thing this Moon sign just can't stand. Yes, you will "communicate in your home." Yes, that may mean that you'll teach classes in your living room, but it might also mean that you'll spend a lot of time on the phone. You're the inspiration for the phrase "incredible lightness of being." Movement, words, wit, and flight of some kind are deep in your soul. Here's the company you keep: Fred Astaire, George Carlin, Buddy Holly, Amelia Earhart. (By the way, it's absolutely amazing how many Gemini Moons really are twins, have twins, or have "two mothers.")
CANCER: Here's the Moon in the sign she rules, at her most emotional and most nurturing. The Moon rules Cancer, so when she's here, she's home, lounging casually in her sea-greens and blues. Here the Moon's concerns turn to home, family, children, and mothers. We react by becoming more likely to express our emotions, to be sympathetic and understanding to others. Now, too, is when we often find ourselves in the mood to take care of someone, to cook or cuddle our dear ones. During this highly emotional sign, feelings run high, so it's important to watch out for becoming oversensitive, dependent, or needy. In all, now's a great time to putter around the house, have family over, and tend to domestic concerns.
If you were born with the Moon in this sign, you're among the best nurturers around. You're also undeniably one of the best huggers out there. There's no doubt that home and family are your main concerns--regardless of whether or not you actually choose to start a family of your own. And, yes, you'll probably also be very tight with your Mom. You're an expert at making a house a home, at choosing just the right foods, fabrics, and furnishings to create a safe, secure nest. You're a natural caregiver--the greatest danger in this wonderful quality is that you'll become so fond of that role that you'll need others to need you in order to feel "worthy"; in other words, avoid codependence at all costs. You're also the most private of the private, guarding your extremely sensitive little heart very, very cautiously. Because the Moon operates so purely here, you're driven primarily by your emotions--by how something hits you on a gut level. You operate on instinct--on memories of how things feel. You're in the record books with the most amazing caregivers around: Dr. Benjamin Spock, Eleanor Roosevelt, Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross.
LEO: When the Moon is in Leo, it's time for drama with a capital D. This theatrical sign has long been known for its big entrances, love of display, and need for attention. Leo is ruled by the Sun, the center of the universe, the creative force, so when the Moon is in this sign, we're all feeling the need to be recognized, applauded, and appreciated. After all, this is the Moon in her royal robes, feeling as if someone ought to stop, bow, and ask her which country she's queen of. How, all that excitement, pride, and emotion can turn into histrionics and melodrama in the blink of an eye, so it's best to be careful of overreacting or being excessively vain over this period. It's a great time to take in a show (or star in one), be romantic, or express your feelings for someone in royal, regal style.
If you were born with the Moon in this sign, you just might have a bit of flair for the dramatic yourself. This Moon tends to display her emotions, regardless of what they are. That means you're likely to throw a tantrum when you're mad and an elaborate cocktail party in someone's honor when you're not. Of course, you act this way because you feel this way. Your Moon is a queen, for God's sake--so she demands deep respect. Like the other fire Moons, you'll act immediately to stop whatever is hurting you from hurting you. You've got the heart of a performer and the soul of a romantic. You want your feelings to be noticed above all else, but you also want to be appreciated for what you are on the inside. And speaking of drama, check out this roster: Clint Eastwood, David Bowie, Kris Kristofferson, Jane Fonda, Peter O'Toole, Dolly Parton, Barbra Streisand.

How the Moon Affects Your Moods--Part 2
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99

How The Moon Affects Your Moods
Part 2
VIRGO: Here's the Moon at her most discriminating. Wearing an efficient, tailored outfit that's specially designed for work, she's ready to take care of whatever needs it--no matter what it needs. This is the most detail-oriented
sign out there, the sign most concerned with fixing, fussing, and tending to. This Moon sign puts us in the mood to clean, scour, sort, and troubleshoot. And help. Virgo is the most helpful of all the signs, ready to take up broom, mop, or gardening tool and offer her assistance. Now's when we're more health-conscious, work-oriented, and duty-bound, too, so this is a great period to use to pay attention to our diet, our hygiene, and our daily schedules.
No matter how much she protests that it's not true, the Moon in Virgo really does love for her home to be clean and orderly. If you have this Moon, you'll think about cleaning places most of us wouldn't even think of looking at, much less touching. The spot between the counter and the stove, for example, or the underside of the kitchen chairs. Now, you may not necessarily get down on your hands and knees and clean it yourself, you understand, but you'll want it done by somebody. You like your surroundings orderly because it makes you feel orderly, as if all's well with the world. This is a tough Moon to own. If you've got one, you probably beat yourself up on a regular basis. Of course, you're also undoubtedly very, very good at whatever you do--because being good, accurate, and precise is what makes you feel secure. Remember your finer qualities next time you're feeling like you'll just never be good enough--like the gentleness, compassion, attention to detail, and willingness to help you're so famous for. Look at the people who share this Moon: Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffman, Shirley MacLaine, Jack Nicholson, Robert Redford, Madonna (which, loosely translated, means "virgin mother," which is Moon in Virgo), Emily Post.
LIBRA: Libra is the second Venus-ruled sign, so here's where the Moon is at her most other-oriented. She's dressed in Venusian pastels, and in the mood for attraction--so relationships, partnerships, and being with someone are important. Since Libra's job is to restore balance, however, you may find yourself in situations of emotional imbalance, ones that require a delicate tap of the scales to set them right. Now's when we're all quite capable of that, fortunately. In general, this is a social, polite, friendly Moon time, when others will extend themselves, be cooperative, and agree more easily to compromise-- after all, Libra just loves people. Libra Moons also prompt us to make our surroundings beautiful, or to put ourselves in situations where beauty is all around us, so now's also a great time to decorate, shop for the home, or visit places of elegant beauty.
Folks born with this Moon know instinctively how to avoid conflict because they probably grew up with it around them. If you own this Moon, you feel unhappy in unbalanced situations. As a result, you're an expert at sensing out what other people need, regardless of who the other is or what type of social situation you happen to be enjoying. Once you do understand what someone needs, you try your best to deliver--in a most accommodating fashion. You're a "Cruise director" out to keep everybody happy--except possibly yourself. Like Mercury in this sign, the Moon here is a natural-born mediator, arriving on the planet with the built-in curse/blessing of being able to understand--and make a case for--both sides of an issue. Libra Moons also look heavily to their primary relationships to keep them feeling happy and secure, so when they don't have one, they can be absolutely forlorn. Take a peek at these Libra Moons, all of whom have a spouse with whom they are (or were) strongly associated: George Bush, Burt Reynolds, Don Johnson.
SCORPIO: This fixed, feminine, water sign is co-ruled by Mars and Pluto. This Moon doesn't mess around. She's all dressed up in her formal black, looking so good she knows you can't take your eyes off her. Scorpio is the most intense sign out there, and when the Moon is here, she feels everything to the absolute nth degree. Everything. Needless to say, we do, too. Passion, joy, jealousy, betrayal, love, and desire--they take center stage in our lives now, as all our emotions deepen to the point of possible obsession. Be careful of a tendency to become secretive and suspicious, or to brood or stew over an offense that was not intended. Now's a great time to play detective, to investigate a mystery, do research, dig--both figuratively and literally--and to allow ourselves to become intimate with someone.
Here's a Moon that can love just as intensively as she can hate--at the same time, too. If you own one, you're a natural-born firewalker, ready to do that and more to prove your feelings for someone. You're the best friend and the worst enemy to have. You understand--and experience-- the true extent of feelings, from agony to ecstasy. The intensity of your feelings, in fact, is what makes you know you're alive. You stew and smolder and own a passion that's just barely concealed. Others wonder why they're so drawn to you. You can get through absolutely anything because you're built for endurance, but the other side of endurance is obsession. Watch for the possibility of rerunning every situation, wondering what "they really meant by that." You can use your natural detective ability to understand the people around you and become an excellent judge of character. Here are others with this Moon: Prince Andrew, Warren Beatty, James Dean, Quincy Jones, Bruce Lee.
SAGITTARIUS: Here's the Moon at her most optimistic, nonjudgmental, and positive. Sagittarius is ruled by benevolent Jupiter, so now's a time when we'll be more likely to shrug things off, let them go, and laugh about it. Of course, Jupiter's also the planet of long-distance travel and educating the higher mind, so now's a great time to take off for a two-day adventure or take a seminar on a topic you've always been interested in--say, philosophy or religion. Expect your intuitive abilities to run on high now, too--this is the sign with the gift of prophecy. Sag loves to collect knowledge, experiences, and wisdom, so when the Moon's in this sign, she's dressed for any adventure, complete with a backpack and world atlas. Spend time outdoors, be spontaneous, and laugh much too loudly when the Moon is here. Now's the time to truly enjoy life--just watch for a tendency towards excess, waste, and overdoing.
If you were born with the Moon here, you have the soul of a comedian, a philosopher, and a preacher. You probably always have a smile on your face--or at least a half-smile. You were born believing that everything will work out just fine, no matter what, that everything will unfold just as it should. You have a gift for lending this same optimism to those who really need it, and an innate faith in the universe--which seldom lets you down. This Moon wrote the song "Don't Worry, Be Happy." You're the true emotional optimist of the zodiac, a real giver--an overextender even--who always lands on your feet. Since your Moon is Jupiter-powered, no matter what you feel, you feel it hugely. You're quite at home on the road, and that includes foreign countries. You'll probably end up living somewhere that's far, far away from your birthplace, too. Watch for a tendency to be a bit too Pollyanna-like in your expectations of others, and for the possibility of leaning towards bingeing or overindulging in something to pick you up when you're having that unusually blue kind of day. Here are other Moon-in-Sag folks: John Belushi, Liberace, Mozart, Christopher Reeve, Oprah Winfrey.
CAPRICORN: Here's the Moon at her most organized, practical, and businesslike. Capricorn Moons bring out the dutiful, cautious, and pessimistic side in all of us, and we suddenly prefer to work, rather than play. Our goals for the future, in a career sense, become all-important now, and the right thing to do becomes the only thing to do. No sign is more concerned with conforming to set rules, touching all the bases, and following orders. This Moon, in fact, is dressed in a uniform--and she demands that you salute her, too. Now's the time to tend to the family business, to act responsibly, to take charge of something, to organize any part of our lives that's become scattered or disrupted. Now, too, is the time to set down rules and guidelines, to sit patiently, listen, and learn. Watch for the possibility of acting in too businesslike a way now at the expense of others' emotions.
Capricorn Moon owners have the driest, funniest senses of humor out there. That's because they tend to see things as they really are and people as they really are--just the facts, ma'am. If you own this Moon, you have a no-nonsense attitude towards life. You were definitely raised on the work ethic, and you may have been raised on the road by military parents, too. If you have kids of your own, it may not be until later in your life, as you see, like no other Moon sign, the responsibility involved in having children. Even so, since Capricorn planets are almost as rough on their owners as Virgo planets are, you'll probably never think you've done enough for your children, and you may even feel that even though you want to give them all the love you never had, you're incapable. Don't think that. Contrary to popular opinion, this Moon is not cold. She's starved for love, in fact, and she cries a lot more than anyone will ever see, too. Famous people with this Moon are Johnny Carson, Merv Griffin, David Letterman, General George Patton.
AQUARIUS: The Moon in Aquarius brings out the rebel in all of us--for better or worse. Dressed in electric blue, in something outrageous, eccentric, and far too futuristic, this Moon is ready to break free from the past, to just say no to all the rules we just set in place in Capricorn. Now's the time when we're ready to break out of our ruts, try something different, and make sure everyone sees us for the unique individuals we are--regardless of what we have to do. Now's a time of extreme, sudden, and abrupt actions, when we surprise even ourselves at what we say, when we're prone to complete reversals and changing our minds at the last minute. This sign is ruled by Uranus, so personal freedom and individuality are more important than anything now. Our schedules become topsy-turvy, and our causes become urgent. Watch for a tendency to become fanatical, act in a deliberately rebellious way without a reason, or break tradition just for the sake of breaking it.
Folks born with restless Aquarian Moons came here to break the family tradition, no matter what that was. If you've got one, and you're from a wealthy family, you'll undoubtedly renounce the family's traditions, broadcast the secrets, and deliberately set out to shock everyone. If you're from lowly roots, on the other hand, you'll kill yourself to become someone. You have an innate emotional need to be different, to separate yourself from everyone you're related to, and to make sure they know just how different you are. If you own this Moon, you've probably become an expert at coming off cold when you're hurt, rather than showing your emotions. That doesn't mean you don't have any, only that you tend to think your feelings, rather than experience them. Like the Moon in Capricorn, you'll have a hard time crying for yourself, but you'll cry a river for an underdog. You may not have children of your own, but you'll be really good at mothering other people's kids, animals, and causes. When you decide to move, you'll move immediately--and you'll do this most quickly if you feel like "something's coming." You have the soul of a rebel and the spirit of a nonconformist. Here's some famous members of the pack you run with: Merle Haggard, John Lennon, Princess Diana, Shirley Chisholm, Margaret Mead.
PISCES: This sign belongs to the planet Neptune, the ruler of altered states of reality. When the Moon slips into this sign, sleep, meditation, prayer, drugs, or alcohol--whatever induces a trancelike state that will allow us to escape from the harshness of reality--is what we crave. She dresses in her most ethereal flowing pink gown, picks up her pink smoke machine and sparkling bucket of pink dust, and sets out to woo us, to cast a spell upon us, to convince us that everything's all right. Now's when we're most susceptible to emotional assaults of any kind, when we're feeling fuzzy, vague, dreamy, nostalgic, wistful, or impressionable. Now, too, is when we're at our most spiritual, when our boundaries are at their lowest, when we're more compassionate, intuitive, and sensitive to those less fortunate--so now's the time to attend a spiritual group or religious gathering.
Here's the Moon at her most sensitive and most intuitive. There are no walls between your Pisces planets and "what's out there." If you own this Moon, on some level you understand this, and you may be in touch with your ability to feel everything that's happening around you--for better or worse. It's all too easy for you to absorb the emotions of others, confuse them as your own, and then, rather than talk about it, withdraw and hide your feelings--even from yourself. In truth, if this is your Moon, you may have problems finding your emotions at all. Pisces Moon folks sometimes find the world such an emotionally abusive place that they shut their feelings down in self-defense. On the other hand, you also have a Moon that's amazingly compassionate. You have the capacity to be generous to strays of any kind, and to take special care of anyone you see as a victim. Of course, you may also become an emotional victim, and you could also victimize others. You have the soul of a poet and the ability to tap into the collective unconscious and bring back the images for the rest of us. Famous Pisces Moon folks: Leonardo daVinci, Robert DeNiro, Michaelangelo, Martin Luther King, Jr., Edgar Allan Poe.

Who Was Constantine?
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Tue Mar 22, 2011 9:11 pm (PDT)
Who Was Constantine?
From Terri Paajanen,Your Guide to Pagan / Wiccan Religion.
And how is he part of Pagan history?
Constantine was emperor of Rome in the 3rd century
CE. and during his reign, changed the religious landscape of the world forever.
Unfortunately, it was not in the favor of Paganism. So who was he and what
did he do? After many years of political maneuvering, Constantine became emperor of the Roman Empire in 306 CE. The beginnings of his Christian conversion came
earlier when he was fighting with his brother Maxentius. The night before the
battle of the Milvian Bridge, Constantine had a vision or a dream of the Chi
Ro, the symbol used by Christianity at the time. God also told him, "In this sign
you will be victorious". Constantine was inspired and ordered his troops to
mark their shields with the symbol. As I'm sure you can guess, Constantine
won the battle. Even though he didn't fully understand the beliefs of the
Christians, he considered himself to be converted.
Once in power, he legalized Christianity and those who followed it were not
longer persecuted and the religion spread further through the empire. He had
churches built all through his lands, and gave them tax-exempt status. The
church became a more political arena as other leaders used it to gain favor
with the emperor.
But it wasn't long before he began to show the classic signs of intolerance
that we have seen so often in Christian historical figures. Pagan temples were
destroyed, and their wealth used to build churches. Laws were written that
reflected the doctrine of the church, such as making Sunday a day of rest. The
winter solstice holiday was converted as well, as December 25th was
officially designated as a holiday to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
It was during the time of Constantine that many aspects of Christianity were
still undefined. It was a rather new religion, after all. To settle the
matter of Jesus' nature and divinity, there was a conference of bishops in
Nicaea. Constantine presided over the council and the Nicean Creed was written, a
text that is still used today.
Besides the purely religious actions, Constantine was a harsh ruler. Taxes
were heavy, and punishments for law breaking were extreme. The church grew fat
with wealth and corruption. It was a political pawn instead of a spiritual
haven.
The Christians may consider Constantine a positive force for the spread of
the Christian movement, but I see him as more as an oppressor who used force
and tyranny to change the thinking of his nation. Acts that we have seen on
many more occasions through history since his time.

Healing by the Moon
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Tue Mar 22, 2011 9:14 pm (PDT)
Healing By The Moon
Moon goddesses are also goddesses of magic and herbal healing. Isis,
Artemis, Hecate, and Diana are just a few of the many lunar deities
who were invoked in herbal healing rituals and spells.
The very first forms of magic were healing magic. Healers used the
energies and properties of the world around them to bring their ailing
patients back into a state of health. They observed that all living things
responded to the waxing and waning of the moon. During the Full Moon
shellfish are plumper and more succulent, and mammals have more blood in their
bodies and stronger heartbeats. Women tend to menstruate during the New Moon
and ovulate during the Full Moon. The herbs used by ancient healers were
said to the best when picked during a particular phase of the Moon.
As a modern herbalist, I have found the Moon to be a powerful healing
ally. Unlike my healing predecessors, I am spoiled by a ready supply of
prepared herbs. Therefore, I don't spend a lot of time picking my herbs
during the optimal phase of the Moon. However, I have found using herbal
therapies in harmony with the phases of the Moon to be a very powerful
healing strategy.
WAXING MOON
The waxing phase of the Moon is the best time to build the body up.
This is when I use nurturing herbs and tonics to strengthen the body's
natural immunities. Raspberry leaf is an excellent tonic for female
reproductive organs; hawthorn berries are good for the cardiovascular system;
nettle is a great blood tonic; marshmallow root is a soothing tonic for the
urinary tract; astragalas is a wonderful immune system tonic; red clover
builds fertility; oat straw is good for the nervous system; and alfalfa is
a fantastic all-around nutritive tonic.
These herbs are simple and gentle. They are best taken in a cup of
tea, three to five times a day. During the waxing phase, I also like to
increase water intake to avoid water retention. The more water we ingest,
the less water our bodies attempt to retain.
This is also a good time to apply medicinal salves and to take
therapeutic baths. Most importantly, I work during the waxing Moon to ensure
that the body has all the nutritional support it needs. This is the body's
building time, and it needs a good supply of minerals, vitamins,
carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids to be healthy. I would also not
attempt to fast or to lose weight during the waxing Moon.
Use energy healing techniques to strengthen and reconnect with the
earth. Be careful to ground and center when healing so that you never use up
your own life force energy. The universe is full of energy to use, and by
tapping into it you will be able to help many more people than you could by
using just your energy alone.
FULL MOON
The Full Moon lasts about three days. It is a very intense phase.
Many women still ovulate with the Full Moon. This is the time when I
apply the most powerful herbs. I like to use cayenne capsules to treat
infections of any kind. Goldenseal is a well-known herbal antibiotic.
Echinacea and lomatium are anti-viral. Dong quai is an excellent herb for female
hormonal fluctuations.
Energy healing work during the Full Moon is very powerful. On the
energetic level, it acts like a magnifying mirror. the strong lunar energy
pulls everything out of hiding and reflects it back at us. This is often
the time during an acute illness when people feel their worst. The Full Moon
intensifies whatever else is going on. Often people aren't even aware that
they're sick until the Full Moon hits.
This is also an excellent time for psychological therapy. Emotions
seem closer to the surface than usual and social inhibitions melt away.
Agendas that have been simmering under the surface tend to come out under the
light of the Full Moon. This is a time to strengthen relationships and
reaffirm bonds. Never underestimate the healing power of simply holding
someone's hand and listening. This is not the time for isolation or
introspection. The Full Moon draws all of life toward it. Even the solid
ground rises several inches when the Full Moon passes overhead!
WANING MOON
The waning Moon is the best time to employ therapeutic fasts. I avoid
drastic fasting. There is usually no need to starve the body to heal it.
However, I found it helpful to limit my intake to juices and soups for a few
days during the waning Moon, particularly when I was struggling with the flu.
I like to use purifying herbs in moderation at this time. Sage, usnea, ginger,
lemon, thyme, lavender, and peppermint are all cleansing and clearing herbs..
The waning Moon is also a good time to do sweats and diaphoretic
(sweat producing) baths. In addition, if I was trying to kick a habit, I
would do it during the waning phase. Full body massages help circulation and
strengthen the eliminative systems. Use energy healing techniques to
sever unhealthy bonds and strengthen boundaries.
NEW MOON
The New Moon is as powerful in its own way as the Full Moon. It is a
time for taking stock. It is a phase of hibernation, retreat, and
contemplation. Avoid crowds, and gatherings and seek a little time for
yourself. Unless an illness is at a critical phase, I frequently cease all therapies
for a day or so and allow the body to seek its own level. Rest is crucial during
the New Moon. Simple foods and quiet times are powerful healers.
Many women menstruate with the New Moon. It is natural to want to
curl up in bed with a good book and a nice cup of chamomile tea. Stronger
nervines (relaxing herbs) are skullcap, hops, catnip, oatstraw, and valerian.
After the New Moon ends and that first crescent appears, then the
healing lunar cycle begins all over again. Most acute diseases do not last a
full lunar cycle.
The information in this article is only intended to be an educational
tool, not a prescription. It is always wise to consult with your health
care provider when experiencing any illness or discomfort.
Awareness of the rhythms of nature can assist you and your health
care provider in determining the best course of treatment at any given
time. Naturally, some conditions will require that you apply therapies that
don't necessarily "fit" with the phase of the Moon. However, I have found
that my own energies are much more effective when I am not fighting the tides
that flow around and through us.
May the lunar goddesses of healing--Artemis and Isis, Diana and
Hecate--bless your healing efforts with Moon wisdom and Moon magic.

Spiritual Spring Cleaning
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Tue Mar 22, 2011 9:15 pm (PDT)
Spiritual Spring Cleaning
Source: "Flowering Moon" by Kara Matthews
The spring is a time of new beginnings and new growth, but that is kind of
hard to do when you are hanging on to old concepts and energy in your home
and body. The popularity of spring-cleaning is endless when it comes to
one's house. What about your spiritual self? Have you felt the energy
around you lately? Maybe you're like me and feel a little run down and
stuffy. This is the time of year that I really need to "air out" myself.
Cleaning house can be a very spiritual thing as well, since the energies
or dirt also include emotional energies and ties. Washing dishes can be
used with visualization to cleanse the energy of yourself and your
kitchen. Sweeping, a basic chore for all of us, can be used to sweep away
negativity like you would use a broom in a magickal circle. You can light
candles, incense, or open widows to cleanse and air out your home.
Everywhere you go you leave a trail of energy like a fingerprint. Since
everyone that comes in and out of your home also does this, it is only
natural that there be some residue around you. Spring is a perfect time to
rid yourself of this, and be renewed.
On the day that you do all this, try and relax yourself as well. Try a
bath or meditation. Or simply sit outside and enjoy the beauty budding
around you. Make this a spiritual renewal as well. Examine yourself and
your growth and decide which path you must take. Meditate on newness and
growth for the best results.
Now on to the main source of spiritual residue in our homes, our altars!
Sometimes I don't even realize the intensity of the leftover energy on my
altar until the day I begin spring-cleaning. Since we will be entering the
light half of the year fairly soon, I usually decide a major cleansing of
my altar is necessary. I do this in two sessions, a banishing of the old
energy and a rededication for the spring.
The first one is done during waning moon for maximum cleansing. Begin by
taking everything off your altar. I do mean everything! Evaluate each item
as you remove it. Does this still mean what it meant when it was placed
there? How is the energy of this object? Does it need cleansing or is it
okay? Do this item by item until your altar space is empty. You may find
several objects that need to be buried or thrown away, or just packed
somewhere else until magick calls upon them.
This is the best time to change your altar cloth. I choose something more
spring-like or simply a white one for the light half of the year. After
this, decide what to do with the old one. It can be packed away, or used
to wrap other ritual objects with.
Item placement is the next step in this process. For me, this all depends
on my mood and what the object says to me. Move items until they fit, and
add and remove until the altar space feels positive to you. When placing
the object in it's place, think or say aloud what it represents or
who/what it is an offering to. To finalize this step of the altar
cleansing, light a white candle and a stick of your favorite incense, then
leave your altar as it is.
The second part, a rededication of the altar; I save until new moon.
Since this time is the best for new beginnings. Between the waning and new
moon you might pick up other objects to place on your altar, or even
decide to move others. This is your time of reflection and thought. Use it
to meditate as well on what you want in the coming year and where you need
to go in your growth. Choose your objects to reflect this, your altar
should be a reflection of your spiritual self.
Begin your new moon ritual by calling to the elements and inviting them to
your cleansed space. If you have objects for each element, present them.
If you have candles, light them. The God and Goddess are next. Great them
however you do, if they have names or an image. Use it. These tend to be
very personal. Ask for their blessings in your future and tell them of
what you learned in your reflections. Introduce new goals and ideas by
placing the objects you have chosen.
Meditate for a moment on what all of this means for your future. Feel the
balance of your sacred space and draw off its energy. Light a candle to
represent your devotion. Choose whatever color speaks to you, as it was
meant to be. Incense can be lit if it feels right, or not if it would be
too much. Breathe in the energy around you and walk away feeling
refreshed.
I do not mention casting a circle since I want to bless all the space. And
cleanse it. I am not raising energy that needs to be contained, so I do
not feel casting is necessary. If you do, then do so. This is a cleansing
ritual from my point of view and can be used as a guideline for your own.

SynchroDestiny

SynchroDestiny
From time to time, we've all experienced coincidences that seem to be
endowed with special significance. Perhaps the phone rings with a call from
a long-lost friend just as you've been thinking about that person. Or
you keep hearing a certain word or phrase in your reading and conversation.
Or something that you dreamed suddenly appears in real life. The Swiss
psychologist Carl Jung coned a word to describe these moments of
meaningful coincidence: "synchronicity."
A synchronicity is a coming together of seemingly unconnected
events. If you focus your attention, you may recognize that your life is
shaped by those moments of meaningful coincidence. You may even be able to nurture
and participate in those moments in a positive way. Together, this
awareness and intention make up what I call your SynchroDestiny.
In any aspect of life, attention and awareness foster growth.
Whenever you focus your attention on a subject or phenomenon, the object of
your attention will grow stronger. The more you become aware of meaningful
coincidences in your life, the more often you will encounter them.
Moreover, meaningful coincidences are well worth your attention.
According to Vedic tradition, there are two characteristics that define a
person on the path toward enlightenment: First, a sense that worries are
disappearing. Things may go wrong, but they don't bother you anymore.
Second, in every area of your life, you become aware of a growing number of
synchronicities.
Most people experience at least one coincidence in their lives during
a single day. If you do not, don't worry. Just cultivate an attitude
of relaxed attention and intention. Nature is built on an infinite
number of coincidences, and their presence in your life will soon become
apparent.
SynchroDestiny and the Conscious Energy Field
Although synchronicities may seem like events that just happen by
themselves, SynchroDestiny is definitely something that must be learned. But
this shouldn't seem at all intimidating. After all, many things that we
take for granted in our everyday lives are actually learned behaviors and
responses.
Even the nature of the physical world is something that we learn
during early childhood. We are told that the whole truth about things is
available to our senses. Thus, when you look at a table, what you see is
exactly what's there in space and time. It's a piece of solid matter composed of
smaller pieces of solid matter all the way down to the level of subatomic
particles. This is a materialist interpretation of reality. It's the way
almost everyone lives day in and day out.
But there is another philosophy, according to which the world that we
perceive through our senses is only a version of a deeper reality.
The Greek philosophers Socrates and Plato, for example, taught that the world
of our senses is a distortion, a mirage--like a shadow playing across a
wall. Many historians believed that the Greeks were influenced by spiritual
thinkers from India, where the idea of a deeper reality has a very long
history.
In Sanskrit, the word "maya" refers to the illusion that we perceive
the true nature of things through our senses. But we're really seeing only a
very selective aspect of reality. That's because beyond the manifest
physical universe, there is a field of energy, information, and intelligence
that orchestrates and governs the material environment. This ground-state
of creation is the conscious energy field.
The conscious energy field does not exist independently of our
perception of it. In other words, reality is a two-way street. We are both
transmitters and receivers of information. We are both the creation and the
creators of the conscious energy field. We are participants in a
consciousness-created universe.
This doesn't mean that there's no external reality, or that the
universe takes place inside our heads. What it means is that the physical
universe has no qualities or attributes in the absence of a conscious
observer.
For example, we see color as an attribute of physical reality. When
we look at an American flag, we see red, white, and blue. When we look at
the grass, we see green. But colors are not really inherent to the reality..
Instead, the phenomenon of color is a response made by the human nervous
system to stimuli from the environment.
We experience color as if it's happening outside us, but we're
actually projecting it from inside us. Color does not exist in the absence
of our observations. We create the phenomenon of color in the conscious
energy field. And we can create other phenomena as well, including
meaningful coincidences.
The Power of Intention
The power of intention is a critical factor in all areas of life.
Simply by intending to create synchronicity in your life, you can nurture
that result.
In Vedic teaching, there is an important concept relating to
spiritual evolution and the role that cosmic intention plays in our lives.
This is the concept of "dharma," and understanding what dharma means is
essential to bringing synchronicity into your life.
"Dharma" is a Sanskrit word that refers to the natural path a person
is intended to follow through life. Your dharma is your destiny--but it
is destiny without any hint of compulsion or force. On the contrary,
your dharma is the path of least resistance. It's the course that is most
right and most nourishing--that brings you the greatest fulfillment and the
most happiness.
Each of us has a gift, a special purpose that we alone can give to
the world. This is our individual dharma. We are meant to discover and
share this unique gift. When we do, we have achieved our true purpose in life.
If you are in harmony with your dharma, you will always remain anchored in a
sense of purpose and meaning.
Exercise: Finding Connections
To begin, just look around at the environment you're in at this
moment. Pick out a certain detail. It may be from the color of the
wallpaper of the room you're sitting in. It may be an image on a magazine cover. Keep
the image clearly in the mind for a moment.
Now listen to all the sounds that are in your environment. Is there
a conversation going on in the next room? Is there a radio or
television playing? Is someone using a loud lawnmower outside your window?
Pick a sound and hold it clearly in your mind.
Next, pick out some object that's nearby and touch it. It can be a
coin, a book, or even a cat or a dog. Whatever it is, touch it with full
awareness, feel its texture, and pay attention to whether it's hard or soft,
cold or warm.
You've had three experiences--one of sight, one of sound, and one of
touch. Now give each of those experiences a one-word name. If your
experience of sound was of a baby crying, you could call it "baby."
Over the next 24 hours, pay attention to how those words reappear in
your life--and to the memory of the sensory experiences linked to them. As
you look for those words and sense-memories, you'll discover a series of
synchronicities associated with them. If you turn those words into
omens through the power of intention, you'll encounter a series of
meaningful coincidences derived from those omens.
This is truly an exercise in using SynchroDestiny. It can also be a
step toward enlightenment, a step toward a richer understanding of your
destiny and how mysterious and magical your life really is.
