I haven't blogged on
anything in a while. I was looking for a
new house, packing, then moving, and now I have been unpacking. It has been a busy couple of months. I have been having a hard time finding the
box I packed my favorite books in. All
week I have really been wanting to take some time out to read, study and write.
Since I haven't been able to find my usual books I blog about I decided
to read some articles posted by friends and groups on Facebook and various
other places, while taking breaks.
I stumbled upon an
astrology page that one of my dear friends shared in one of my favorite
groups. This has been the best astrology
page I have seen for a while. I love
their article "Introduction to Astrology" which can be found here http://www.astrology.com.tr/astrology.asp
. It was the most beautiful explanation
I had ever heard. It was very
informative as well as insightful. It
just felt right. So I decided to
continue reading the articles on this site and stumbled across one I want to
work with and see if I can find any insights.
I will probably be
doing my blog like this more often.
Going with what I feel is right, what I feel a need or want to research
on any given day. Living in the now,
going with my intuition and instincts; rather than pushing towards something I
may have lost interest in or just may simply not have the time to do on that
particular day.
Back to the topic at
hand. I found this article that I want
to work with in my blog. It is on lunar
cycles and you can find it here http://www.astrology.com.tr/lunar-astrology.asp
. I have known for a while now that the
New Moon is a great time to set your intentions but I didn't know about the
different quarters. Also I am a stay at
home Mom who just happens to do a lot of stuff in her spare time. Lots of things have interested me (Gemini) so
pin pointing actual goals I actually want to accomplish (aside from selling my
house, buying a new one, and moving) has been difficult. I'm hoping that astrology will help me figure
out a possible life path that I can follow that will enable me to thrive both
materially and spiritually. This kind of
astrology, really understanding where you fit in it all, takes a lot of
reading, studying, practicing, time, and patience. One day I will get there. Until then as I read something I think I can
work with I am going to try…practice makes perfect, right!?
I looked at a lunar
calendar and it appears we are in the second quarter of the lunar cycle. "The second quarter is the time of
growth, development, and articulation of things that already exist." What needs to grow? What can I develop? What already exists that needs
expressed? The second quarter started
on the 3rd and ends on the 9th. So I am
going to look and see where the moon was transiting on my birth-chart on the
3rd. Maybe it will give me some hints.
The Moon was at 28
Libra on the third of August which places it in my 9th house. Since the Libra part applies to all I will
look at what this site says about it first.
Libra
is an Air sign. "Air
Signs are
correlated with the mind's sensation, perception, and expression, especially
related to personal interaction and to geometrical thought forms and abstract
ideas." http://www.astrology.com.tr/elements.asp. My thoughts on this are that we need to grow
what ever stimulates our minds. Develop
how we perceive things. Wow we have a
double whammy on expressing ourselves.
More specifically how we personally interact with others while
expressing ourselves. It's time to
express, develop and grow and abstract ideas or geometrical thought forms we
have. So anything that you have been
thing of that seems way out there, now may be the time to express those
thoughts, develop them into something real and watch it grow.
Libra is a Cardinal sign "The
Cardinal Signs correlate
with the principle of action and symbolize initiating movements of energy in a
definite direction." http://www.astrology.com.tr/elements.asp I think this cardinal energy is
telling us to do more than just think about things. Start making goals that will move your
thoughts into a real direction. Giving a
path and focus.
So my thoughts on
this 2nd quarter Moon in Cardinal Air.
Is that it is time to put our fear aside. No matter how abstract the ideas you have are
it is time to express and develop them.
Making real goals that will allow for your idea to grow into something
sensational. Setting a path to move your
ideas in what ever direction you want to go.
It is time to act on all those great ideas you have. If you lead a busy life like me and have
multiple ideas at least write them down and look and see what you can do with
them while you have some down time.
You can let me know
what you think about my interpretations if you like. I am basically finding keywords in the
article and intuitively combining them.
I am a beginner in astrology and have never really looked at anyone
else's chart but mine.
Now
let's see what the article says about the sign of Libra. "It's Libra's job to restore balance,
create harmony, and cooperate with all—not just the easy jobs. Both balance and
harmony require an entity to give and take equally." "No sign is
more charming, social, and able to coax the same out of another. Libra is
cardinal air, so it wants to start conversations. Libra planets are experts at
behavior that's pleasing to others. They’re Venus-ruled, so they specialize in
manners, courtesy, and small talk. Libra planets fit into any social situation
and get along with just about everyone. They don't want to be alone, and,
because they're gifted with the ability to pacify, they may sell out their own
needs or the truth to buy momentary peace and a companion. Their real work is
to see both sides of a situation, weigh the options, and keep their inner
balance by remaining honest. "
http://www.astrology.com.tr/air-signs.asp
Now combining their
information on Libra with their information on the 2nd quarter Moon I think
this is about developing our honesty with ourselves. Developing and growing our inner balance. Remaining true to our own needs while
interacting with others. Taking action
to create balance and harmony within ourselves and the world around us.
The date time and
place that you were born determines the house that this 2nd quarter Moon would
be transiting. Many of you have this 2nd
quarter Moon transiting other houses, so the following more specific to me, although
there may be some one out there experiencing this transit in their 9th house as
well.
What
does this site say about the 9th house?
"The cadent houses (3, 6, 9, 12) are areas where there is
input, exchange, and distribution of thoughts and observations. The keyword for
these houses is LEARNING." http://www.astrology.com.tr/houses.asp
So I need to learn
about inner balance and being true to myself in my dealings with others. Feeling free to express my thoughts and
ideas. Allowing myself to set goals
accordingly to move my life in a specific direction.
"Fire
Houses ("THE TRINITY OF LIFE"—1, 5, 9)
These
houses are associated with one's attitude toward life and the experience of
being alive. They represent an out pouring of energy into the world and
aspirations that motivate us to do so. The person with an emphasis on these
houses lives in his or her enthusiasms, ideals, and dreams for the future.
Faith and confidence (or the marked lack of it) and the need to see an effect
on the world at large through one's initiatives dominate much of the person's
life activity. The person experiences self most immediately through projecting
dreams into the world and seeing them manifested as reality. Planets in the
fire houses affect the individual's ATTITUDE TOWARD LIFE ITSELF and the person's entire
sense of faith and confidence in self. The keyword that sums up the essential
meaning of the fire houses is IDENTITY; for our sense of identity, our
sense of being, determines our attitude toward life in general." http://www.astrology.com.tr/houses.asp
Socializing this
quarter will inspire and motivate me. I
need to act on my enthusiasms, ideals, and dreams for the future. Focusing on how these actions affect the
world around me will have an affect on my actions. I need to express myself by projecting my
dreams into the world and watch them manifest in reality. Learning about my inner-self, my true self
and balancing my needs with the needs of others will help my faith and
confidence in the world. Watching my
dreams come into fruitation will affect my attitude toward life, my faith in
myself and my self-confidence. It's time
to get a sense of my identity and act on my dreams.
"The
Ninth House
The ninth house
covers long journeys and religion (the longest journey of all). Here is what
remains of the purification that takes place in the eighth house -- the seed,
or essence, of an entire cycle of experience. Religion comes from a Latin word
that means to bind back, and thus refers to all things that last or endure,
such as the truth. Essential ideas, philosophy, and all that is the very heart
of things belong here." http://www.astrology.com.tr/houses.asp
Long journeys…yea
how this action will affect the world around me and those who depend on me
definitely affects the action of taking a long journey. Quite literally there is not enough money in
the budget to take care of my family and take a long journey. I don't have enough to cover a ticket for
myself. Not to mention the backlash of
if my husband and child could not go, and oh how they would suffer if that
money was taken out of the budget. So
yes I take spiritual journeys. This is
where it is starting to come together. I
love to learn about the religions of the world.
I have not picked a faith other than following what feels right in my
heart based on the research I have done in spirituality and the religions of
the world. I do search to learn the
truth in all things. I love sharing my
insights on such topics of spirituality, religion, and philosophy to all. That is part of why I created this blog, to
share my insights and express my thoughts on various topics. I have joined communities and groups hoping
to add a social aspect to it all. Maybe
this is telling me that all of this is already there and that it is time start expressing it again. Yup I think that's what this 2nd quarter moon
is telling me. Also maybe trying to find
some locals that share the similar interests.
Maybe I'll start my own local group to meet regularly if I can't find
one that already exists. Hopefully this
is telling me it already exists and all I need to do is simply join. This would cover all the aspects, self
expression, socialization, already existing, developing, growing, philosophy,
spirituality, and religion. Hmmm funny
how things come together and are reflected in the cosmos above. Please feel free to interact. Tell me what you think of this 2nd quarter
moon. Do you have your own
insights? Do you think mine need
tweeked?
Well that's all for
tonight. Love, Light, and Blessings to
all!
