“I Don't Need to Have Money to Attract Money. . .You do not have to have money to attract money, but you cannot feel poor and attract money. The key is, you have to find ways of improving the way you feel from right where you stand before things can begin to change: By softening your attention to the things that are going wrong, and by beginning to tell stories that lean more in the direction of what you want instead of in the direction of what you have got, your vibration will shift; your point of attraction will shift—and you will get different results.” –Abraham-Hicks 

Aquarius Lunar Eclipse this Saturday August 16, 2008

We are experiencing the affects of two eclipses during the month of August in Leo/Aquarius.  On August first we had the Solar Eclipse New Moon in Leo.  This will be followed up by an Aquarius Lunar Eclipse on August 16^th.  Eclipses are the most powerful transits we can experience.  They herald major endings and beginnings personally and collectively.  You can feel the impact immediately, or a month later to the day (September 1 or 16, 2008) or even months and years to come.  The tests are flying high now.  We are all being initiated.  What are you learning about yourself this summer?  Where are you being asked to step up? What are you ready for?

Usually the Aquarius full moon in August is one of the most fun and festive times of the year. However, this year we have a powerful Lunar Eclipse, where the Leo Sun is blocked out by the Aquarius Full Moon. Leo represents the individual mastering self- love and self-respect in order to give that to others--the group (Aquarius) hence, creating healthy, harmonious groups of effective teams, families, clans, companies, etc.  Harmony is not created by all of us thinking and acting alike. It is valuing and appreciating each other’s differences. For it is those different perspectives that create the most balanced and effective whole.  The whole (Aquarius)  is only as great as the sum of its parts (Leo).  Since this isn’t a typical fun loving Aquarian full moon we want to be respectful of these eclipse cycles. This is not a good time to force action or initiate anything.  The reason is nothing ever turns out as you planned. If you can wait until the Sun shifts into Virgo on August 22, we will experience a greater calming affect both personally and collectively.

Additionally, I am observing a higher occurrence of extreme emotionalism, and idealism followed by disappointment in Self, others or situations.   Neptune the god of ecstasy and madness is highly active at these eclipses.  Please be patient with yourself, this is not a cycle to push yourself to extreme exhaustion, to be followed by fear, doubt and intense negativity.  Fear = False Evidence Appearing Real.  Thomas Leonard  had a great saying in coaching “Ninety-percent of what killed you never even happened.”  We can either come from two places fear or freedom.  Fear (ego) or freedom (Higher Self) . Growth into a new life is often accompanied by anxiety it is normal to feel uncomfortable with all of the changes happening now.  Make friends with change.  You can get comfortable in the uncomfortability.  Remember that it is in the fertile ground of uncertainty where the limitless possibilities abound.  

Neptune rules the movie and music industry.

He rules spirituality and creativity.  He also rules illusion, delusion, deception and confusion.  And, we can put the word Self before all of those very important Neptunian nouns.    The right brain is being highly activated now.  What if the changes taking place in your life  are to bring you back to your heart and soul?  To remove all the illusions/distractions and focus you on your core values, core truths and who-you-really- are?  Neptune can make us believe all kinds of fantasies especially when we project our inner Neptune onto other people and expect them to be something they are not. Some people may seriously abuse Neptune (drugs or alcohol) now as a way to escape their pain and a way to resist being responsible adults.  True freedom can only be achieved with a strong personal foundation and a sense of responsibility. 

Imagination rules the world

In truth, if you use Neptune wisely he can direct you to your real purpose by increasing your intuitive powers and empowering you to move past your insecurities and fears. Let go and let God. Neptune gives you the gift to envision your future—your greatest hopes, wishes and dreams.  Einstein believed that imagination was more important than intelligence.  By imagining what you want, and being in alignment with your desires you can make your wildest dreams come true. Neptune empowers us to feel our connectedness to others, to Gaia, to nature, to the animal kingdom, and to Source.  The best strategy in August navigating theses eclipses is not to resist Neptune, the more we consciously engage Neptune the less likely we will experience him in a disruptive way.  Spend as much time as possible in Neptune’s realm around this extra powerful Full Moon.  Go to the movies, listen to music, meditate, day dream, be outdoors in nature, play, and do art- whatever puts you in a quiet, receptive place so you can grasp the special messages that Neptune and this Aquarius Lunar Eclipse have for you.  Around this Eclipse watch your day and night dreams closely. You will be given many insights and clues about your next steps and your future.

Strategies for navigating the Solar/Lunar Eclipses in the month of August:

·         Get plenty of rest.

·         Drink plenty of water.

·         Exercise daily.

·         Eat healthy foods.

·         Be moderate with heavy drink or foods.

·         When you arise in the morning, affirm to the universe out loud that “This is going to be a great day.” And,  “thank you” for the gift of this day. 

·         Get grounded.

·         When fear comes up in your stomach (solar plexus) or your mind practice being present. 

·         Breathe deeply.  (In with the peace out with the fear)

·         Stay in the Here and Now.

·         When we stay in the Now we realize that the fear is coming from the “What if’s” the future.  And what you fear may not even be true. So why give it your time or energy?

·         All power is in the now.  The future will take care of its self.

·         Focus on the positive.

·         Focus on what is working in your life.

·         Appreciate every good thing in your life, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant.

·         Never complain.

·         Make friends with change.

·         Get comfortable in the uncomfortability of uncertainty and change (the fertile possibilities.) 

·         Be who-you-really-are.

·         Figure out what you really want.

·         Love and respect Self and others.

·         Have fun.

When working with others I find this communication strategy very useful:

Say what you mean.

Mean what you say.

“I Can Transform My Own World for Me. . . Make lists of positive aspects. Make lists of things you love—and never complain about anything. And as you use those things that shine bright and make you feel good as your excuse to give your attention and be who-you-are, you will tune to who-you-are, and the whole world will begin to transform before your eyes. It is not your job to transform the world for others—but it is your job to transform it for you. A state of appreciation is pure Connection to Source where there is no perception of lack” –Abraham-Hicks.                       -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------                                              Blessings in
