Full Blue Dog Days Moon

Full Blue Moon

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Dog Days “Blue” Moon at 8* Pisces will culminate August 31, 2012 6:58am PDT/9:58am EDT (farmers almanac). A Blue Moon is when there are two full moons in one calendar month.

At the beginning of the August’s Full Moon, we were to focus on our intentions and possibilities. Now at the end of the month, we are to give way to scrutinize “a real time” of introspection, undo the unshakable, questioning unhappiness, sorrow and regrets. In our society, we’ve come to think depression is natural, but it isn’t; we’re ‘not’ to feed on insecurities and fear. We are given reasoning skills, and when trouble begins we are to reposition and stop obstacles before they become serious. It’s easier said than done, of course. And you can cry, it’s just not good to keep crying. We can experience breakdowns in all matters, and need to allow ourselves to outthink misfortune and stay sensible. With this moon, we reflect on what bothers us, preparing to sway our minds and hearts. With Autumn coming we will soon begin the preparation of winter and manifesting survival. Rationally, our responsibilities on earth should be easily self-propelled and connected to trust. When we clear the air, we begin to precede.

What happens when making unsuitable choices or being wounded by unpleasantness; becoming bewildered, lost and afraid. We can find ourselves wallowing in dejection and misdirected rage. We are all aware that there are many terrible things that happen in the world. Some events we have control, and most of it, we do not. For every sadness we’ve personally experienced we look upon them and reason, why me, why did they have to happen. We are hurt and can be reeling by others thoughtlessness or uncertainty. And yet it is how we handle the anxiety, the challenge that is the test. And we pass or fail. We can rebury our pain, but it would be better to find the pathway to set our dilemma’s free. The question may be to ask our self, how am I reacting to the difficulties in my life. Am I self-destructive or finding my way out.

There are solutions to ‘everything’. We know the difference of thriving and failing. We know when love falls short, realizing we loved and it wasn’t reciprocated. We can go to a job and work very hard and not to be appreciated. We can try and better ourselves and our peers are putting us down. We must forge through, as the bounty of the earth is ours by birthright. We are deserving of love, money, happiness, freedom, security, wisdom, and great health. Did we consider when and where our troubles began, knowing our decisions shape our life. Sometimes learning to say the word ‘no’ is helpful. Not allowing our time and energy to be abused is valuable. And we can start to fix those areas of our health and well being. Are we taking care of our self. Unlock the darkest and deepest part of you. Only you have the key…

We can all be locked in delusion, not really knowing why the things that happen to us do. How we are saved or fated. We all have been hurt, we all want to scream, cry and wrestle with our lives. ‘Everyone’ feels this way. We know to reason and allow good into our daily reality. We see people get up and survive against all odds. We see them do it, leaving chaos and difficulties behind. Honor your past, it’s made you who you are… and it’s time to let go of what holds you back, Meditate deeply.

“Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity. ~Carl Gustav Jung (Swiss psychiatrist, Psychologist and Founder of the Analytic Psychology, 1875-1961)

Full Dog Days Moon

By Tara Sutphen

 

Full Dog Days Moon (Colonial American) at 10* Aquarius will culminate August 1, 2012 8:28P.M. Pacific/11:28P.M.. Eastern (Almanac).

            This Full Dog Days Moon is about focusing intention on possibilities. Who are you going to be when you grow up. What do you want and why do you want it. What does the future hold in your life.  Observing also this year’s moon is falling on the Celtic Sabbat Day of Lughnasadh – Day of the Harvest.  Lugh is considered “the Shining One” – God of Technology, fitting as Aquarius is connected with our course of action. We are getting a double whammy to “open up”, don’t become stuck. Take a chance, become who you long to be, evolve to be a part of your family, community and the world. Claim your place and knowing you belong here on earth. We deserve a wonderful life and to help others along to live a celebrated life too. The old paradigm is not necessarily what works all the time, there are things to leave in place and there is room to change. We must create a hale and hearty place for ourselves and our generations to come. Clean water, Food, Shelter, Security, creating a family – these factors will never go out of vogue. These goals give us all a target.

Direction, Course, Aim … If you are disoriented, you must start making solid decisions. There are great minds in active service, offering new development and sources of technology, medicines, engineering, manufacturing and production. New ways to clean water, progress nutrition, cultivate food…there is innovation, not necessarily know how. Engage your mind with your proactive movement, creating the future you dream. We sometimes think we are going in a good direction, but we may do a number of wrong steps. Such as giving away time and energy away for free, over-socializing, procrastinating, never knowing what is wanted, or having a speak of ideas but not putting them in to action. You know if you are over-compromising, being lazy, or undirected. You may be doing your share of a job, but find yourself alone and needing help. Are you letting life make decisions for you instead of you making decisions. Security isn’t so much about money, our society bases much on financial haggling but there are ways to trade and bring our lifestyles into balance. There is always a resolution and ways out of every circumstance. Sometimes we must go with tradition and other times it’s a good idea to come up with thinking outside the box. Elevate your actions, act in your best self interest and for the good of those you love. Reach up and touch your forehead, remind yourself you are a clear thinking human. Clear thinking…

The Future can unfold with our spirit intact, as life is not easy for any of us. When we stay true to a certain level-headedness, knowing there is cleansing after the storms of life. We can choose how we view benevolence. Not every move or reaction we make will be right, but we must try to be our very best. Giving our self the outlook to be inspired with innovators, knowledge and possibilities, to act in accordance and begin to journey in life’s enchantment and benefit. Knowing every stumbling block becomes an opportunity. Faith blossoms.  

 “Innovation is not the product of logical thought, although the result is tied to logical structure.” ~Albert Einstein (German born American Physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity. Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. 1879-1955)

Full Thunder Moon

 
Full Thunder Moon
By Tara Sutphen
 
Full Thunder Moon (Native American) at 12* Capricorn will culminate July 3, 11:52A.M. Pacific/2:52 P.M.. Eastern (Almanac).
  This Full Thunder Moon is about creating clear communication to step into making more money and security, being proactive and productive. You are to be seen when you work, you are to be acknowledged and appreciated. In any job, there should be a feeling of fulfillment. We are to generate wonderful lives, beneficial, valuable and practical days for our lifestyles. Forming routines to enhance who we are and how we love. What happens when we find ourselves in an inadequate way of life, how do we get to the next stage…
Of course many are burned out at their current jobs and some have never found what career path is best. And it takes some time to establish who you are and what you do. If you’ve been disgruntled in your current job, you may not be able to rapidly be outspoken if you haven’t stuck up for yourself in the past. Speaking one’s mind can be a process of tact and diplomacy. We all know people who blurt their displeasure, there is always a right way and a wrong one. Once you start gently speaking your truth, start moving your daily life in to the areas that best serve you.
And there are new occupations and ideas in keeping with your talents every day. When we need guidance, we must seek that advice. Whether going through a process of learning or refocusing. There have been fading jobs, many professions are now obsolete as the country has changed. Keep holding strong and make wise decisions. When you start moving in the direction that best suits you, you can assess if your current job uses your talents and skills. Many people stay in dead end situations, when the universe has been trying to help construct better arrangements, the notion is not to be terrified, deep down you know how to use your time and strengths. Your ancestors did it and so can you. Not too long ago when the Industrial age came to be, I’m sure everyone scrambled to make better decisions. Change is an everyday fact.
Journal Questions:
Daily journal homework:
• write about what you want to do for a career
• what secret job do you really want to do
• pros and cons of that job
• Say something nice about your job now
• Say something nice about a job you really want
• Write a lengthy note to yourself, how you deserve the best job
• Appreciate who you are
• Write another lengthy note to yourself about what job you desire, rings true or seemsfar fetched
• What ideas or skills do you have to make extra money
 
We are innovative and capable, many times we hide who we really are. Mostly it’s the ability to start new projects, they seem overwhelming at first. But if you take one step at a time, you’ll notice how free and amazing life can be.
 
“Times of great calamity and confusion have been productive for the greatest minds. The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace. The brightest thunder-bolt is elicited from the darkest storm.”

R-E-I-N-C-A-R-N-A-T-I-O-N

By Tara Sutphen

Doesn’t the Universe set you up with mysterious people. Everyone thinks that, you know. I’m sure some of the relatives coming to land in your personal sphere are a bit of an accident, you know in your heart, they just have to be a fluke. And how about those dandy relationships we’ve chosen. Did we choose? They seemed to be right in front of our eyes, egging us to get onto the roller coaster and we got on for the ride. Or did we encourage them onto the ride. There are people so important and we love them, no matter what. Life seems unexpected and remarkable, and yet do we think our connections are random. And If we’ve lived before, how do we begin to find out.  And if we recapture memories, what is the effect.

Recollections, there are cultures and countries we have an affinity, or an adverse response. Something triggers the instinct and reactions. Like with everything on earth there is some kind of mystery attached, we don’t know the outcome of most experiences that we are living today. We don’t know where we’ve come from, where our babies begin, why we are here on earth, why we have to experience the things we do, whether they are good or bad, and who is virtuous or cruel. Science and Religion have no real answers, the theories are fun to explore but facts, most, if not all are concepts.  Since we are speculating, we may as well research what we can on re-embodiment. Salvaging an approach to some kind of orderliness seems to work best for our minds. And there seems to be memories from other times and places, but they are vague. So what do we do when we want to look at past lives.

Hypnosis seems to be the best way to reach an altered state, of course some people seem afraid but you actually won’t do anything against your moral code. Exploring our ability to remember can be fun, curiosity can peak on where we might’ve lived, who we’ve been, what our career or pastimes were, our love lives, discovering strengths and weakness, exciting activity or misadventures. One of the easiest ways to begin the search is to be guided with a past life mp3/cd or to hire a hypnotist/hypnotherapist. Then there is a guideline to follow, with deep breathing exercises and then suggestions, bringing your mind and five senses into awareness. If you can try to visualize, attune your hearing, touch things, feel your feelings, and taste the food in your meditation…you’ll be more likely to tap into important aspects of yourself. Transfer as much of yourself into your personal movie as you can.

Encounter who you’ve known before, see, feel and hear who you love, who matters now, why they matter, what you do as a craft or skill, are you making money and why or why not, what town do you live in and country, what wars have happened, what date is it, are your current relatives there, do they help you or hinder you. Are you helping or hindering them, how is the government run, how is business run. What are the cures of common ailments. The list goes on and on. Have as many questions as possible lined up. And you can be specific with good and bad questions, why am I attracted to ______, why do I have trouble with ____, why can’t I help feeling rejected by _____, what blocks me from success, why do I feel the way I do to who am I going to marry, what did my child do in their last life for a job, what do I need to do to move my child or people around me into success. What are my gifts and talents in this life, etc………..  As with everything, there is a beginning point and ending details, make sure that at the ending time you release any physical pain or mental anguish. You can do this easily by counting 1,2,3 – saying to yourself no pain, no sadness. The investigation of these past times may be clues of your reactions to joy or fear, and to certain people and situations.

Reincarnation is a tool to clear the mind, answering the otherwise unanswerable, giving rhyme to reason and food for thought. We are the product of our past.

Summer Solstice

Summer Solstice

 

 

Summer  Solstice, Midsummer, Litha

By Tara Sutphen

21st June

“In the world’s audience hall, the simple blade of grass sits on the same carpet with the sunbeams, and the stars of midnight” – Rabindranath Tagore (Indian Poet, Playwright and Essayist, Won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913, 1861-1941)

Summer Solstice marks the end of the waxing year.  And the rays of the sun directly strike one of the two tropical latitude lines.  June 21 marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere, as  winter begins in the southern hemisphere. On this day, the earth’s “circle of luminescence” will be from the Arctic Circle to the Antarctic Circle. The equator receives twelve hours of daylight, as there will be 24 hours of daylight at the North Pole and 24 hours of darkness at the South Pole. All over the world people honor this day as an important reminder of the apex of light and to cast away evil and their problems. Northern Hemisphere inhabitants use June 21 as the day of celebration, but the splendor of light lasts from new moon to full moon.

Worshipping the Sun’s great power, all cultures celebrate in some way. Celts and Slavs dance around bonfires while Chinese marked the day honoring Li, the Goddess of Light. The celebrants of modern and ancient ceremonies tune in that life comes from the sun. It is life giving and life supporting.  We’ve recently had the good fortune to have electricity, greenhouses, and shipment suppliers. How will you celebrate? We all may not get a chance to dance around the bonfire but it’s a time to bask in the light, sit in the sun, cast our worries away and awaken to our lives.

28* Gemini New Moon

28* Gemini New Moon

By Tara Sutphen

28* Gemini New Moon (no moon – starry dark sky, the time of dreaming), culminating June 19, 2012.

                This New moon is about looking into your career or job. As humans, we must develop and learn, the moment we stop emerging, we stop wakefulness. Many people are now depleted by their professions, our society casts rules. More and more regulations are made and the exhaustion level is high. We must work on renewal. Every few years it’s important to gain new knowledge and information. Those who were carried away by “too fast of plans”, lack a feeling of progress.

       How do we get ourselves out of our own ruts and back on solid ground. Possibly organizing our time efficiently, curtailing wasted hours on frivolous activity or socializing. Or it could be working too many hours at a dead end job with uncaring people. There are myriad of complaints holding us from accomplishing. Of course we need to negotiate until we steer ourselves into our next option. To prevail, we all must give and take, take and give. A sense of balance is the key. If vocational restructuring or guidance is needed, going back to school or taking a class or two might resolve our struggle. Conversing with a friend, mentor or professional, maybe they will see something you don’t.  Any remarkable skill requires time and exertion.  Start meeting yourself at least halfway.

      We get nowhere with ideas locked in our head. How many times have you heard someone say…”oh, I thought of that gadget or idea, but look someone else invented it, making millions”. The innovator moved their body to complete the idea. They didn’t know what to do or where to go to carry the invention out, they just began to ask questions, initiating a means to discovery.  No one knows exactly where life will be taking them, we just lay down tracks to move our train.

 

“Keep on beginning and failing. Each time you fail, start all over again, and you will grow stronger until you have accomplished a purpose – not the one you began with perhaps, but one you’ll be glad to remember.” ~ Anne Sullivan (American teacher , 1866-1936)

Full Strawberry Moon & Partial Eclipse

Full Strawberry Moon

By Tara Sutphen

 

Full Strawberry Moon (Native American)at 14* Sagittarius will culminate June 4, 4:12 A.M. Pacific/7:12 A.M. Eastern (Almanac).

The Full Strawberry Moon and partial eclipse, where we’re being nudged gently to give up what holds us back. Many incidents in the past create a mental and karmic link and we go round and round in our minds trying to figure out how to escape turmoil. We are living up to either our dashed expectations or our goals and intent. Many are struggling every moment of every day with an issue or another and so much anxiety. Why are so many people riveted in uncertainty. Over the centuries were people always this way. Or in our modern society have we become influenced by each other. The worries of each individual, health problems, emotional ills, the job anxiety, money sabotaging, restlessness, outrage, entitlement, apathy, exhaustion, the list goes on, do we carry those fears or do we stand up to them. Reviewing our beliefs is a first step to liberation of misgivings, the second step is to act accordingly and release. As looking back and blaming everyone and everything for fault and failure is not constructive living. Needed is elucidation. Specific people, the government and circumstances will naturally bring us to situations that need to be handled. This is life.

We play our lives as best or as worst as we can. We walk around in a dream, designing what happens by our actions and reactions. Oh we may not like what takes place randomly day in and day out. Entrenching us emotionally or physically, we find ourselves either in the quagmire or the palace. Living up to our choices and how we respond to circumstances and events. We are so lucky to have options, we don’t always remember that fact though. Thankfully if we back up a little and free our judgments, we can work at alleviating predicaments. The unease may have begun with parents, siblings, teachers, lovers, spouses, children, employers, bureaucratic leaders, but it will end with our self. As much as we want to control time, we really do have a different life experience and planet stopover than others. As we recognize this, we can view opportunities. Stepping away from difficulty and as calmly as possible reintegrate what best works on a daily basis. And if we take a moment to offer others understanding and benevolence, it will surely extend our way as well. We’re not supposed to be struggling all the time, we’re really intended to be enjoying our life, like the people we know, benefit from our relatives and family, relish work, attach value to experiences. All the heartache and the suffering are lessons to teach us to survive. We were born to live…

Standing Before

The Moon Ritual Meditation & Sleep Programming

Although you would ideally do this meditation outTrack beneath the full moon, you can also experience it by imagining the moon and four directions as you are surrounded with magical energy … a rainbow of light. In the Goddess’ name, you open to the light. You can actually stand up and raise your palms to the sky or imagine this process of being energized and rejuvenated. Facing North you ask for solutions to your problems and experience many blessings. Facing East you seek solutions and prosperity while trusting yourself to make the right choices. Following many blessings, you turn to the South and ask for increased self-esteem and harmonious relationships with the people in your life. After the blessings, you turn to the West to face your destiny and ultimate potentials. Open your mind and release your courage. The ritual ends with the moon as your guiding light on the shadowed path. It illuminates your dreams as you walk steadfast and proceed on your earthly journey with an open heart. Track 2: A beautiful sleep programming version of the ritual. Listen as your cross over into sleep and explore the four directions into your dreams.

0* Gemini New Moon & Annular Solar Eclipse

0* Gemini New Moon
By Tara Sutphen

0* Gemini New Moon (no moon – starry dark sky, the time of dreaming), culminating May 20, 2012. This is also an Annular Solar Eclipse, and this type of eclipse has not been seen in the USA for 18 years. Eclipses are about change or letting go, it can be to bring something exciting or illuminating into your life. This Gemini New Moon is about old communication coming to an end or finding balance on how you are expressing yourself. Releasing a mindset on what doesn’t work in an effective world. How do you move about in your environment to acquire confidence, and constructive acts or good manners. Where can a Revelation or two give meaningful thought to create purposeful achievement. How can we use the eclipse to change our personal world to the one we really want to be in. You’ve been speaking since infancy but are you getting your needs met in your life. You know if your life is in working order. You may feel you are at your base instinctual level seeking to survive. It isn’t about crying in the wilderness, it’s the show of strength in human involvement and evolvement. Finding the real voice, unlocking ourselves into how we should be and not how we think we should be…..
