Ah! :P Obedience Training For Your Mind

It bears repeating: Ah! : P

A week ago I received guidance from myself in about, oh, 15 different ways. A tarot reading. A dream or two. Hearing snippets of conversation as I’m walking by that I got the Pay Attention vibe about. You know the drill – God or your angels or spirit or your higher self or your spirit guides or your higher instinct whatever you want to refer to it as is trying to get a message through to you. And I got it! The message was this:

“You need to train your brain to let go of thoughts you don’t want to be thinking. Time is growing short.”

And, making full use of my free will, I got the message…and I didn’t listen in more than a cursory way. I dabbled. Gave the meditation thing a go and played with not thinking particular thoughts – not to much success. Joined a meditation group in the area. Now that was a weird experience! I knew something was up when this happened.

I had on and off wanted to join a meditation group for a while now, but there’s never been one right in my area. When I got this message, I went to meetup.com to see if there were any miraculous meetup creations to match my message for the need to meditate. And there was! It had been created the day before! And I joined and then relaxed, deciding that was that. And then the guy emailed me a day or two later saying that this group (You have to pay $15 just to create a group, btw) was a test group and not a real group, that I could join his other group and learn about meditation if I wanted to.

A test group? You mean he was dabbling with the idea, too? What gives! But, I had already relaxed into cruise control, thinking this guy had my meditation needs met. Go once a week, retrain my brain. Good. Done. His message came in after I had already gone on auto-pilot, and my brain wasn’t so interested in taking up the reins again…

See, I am an optimistic skeptic. This means that I am hopeful, but I am still going to explore aaaallll sides of a given anything to my heart’s (make that mind’s!) content, just to make sure my hope is well deserved. I am going to ‘go there’ just to find out if there is a ‘there’ to which to go…and of course there usually is because I create it as soon as I look in that direction, a la the Law of Attraction.

I’m frustrated with myself – can you tell? I’m sure my divine messengers are throwing a party as we speak.

I have heard it said that once you get to a certain level of, I dunno, enlightentment? Light bearing? Light quotient, understanding, expansion, ascension, whatever you want to call it – that it gets more and more uncomfortable to roll around in contrast. It doesn’t jive in the first place, and as you become more and more light, dropping down and rolling around in the density is like sticking a pencil in a moving fan: Not Pretty. You get jostled about a lot more than if you stuck that pencil in a fan that wasn’t moving at all, or even just moving a little bit. Take it from me, it’s pretty damn uncomfortable!

It was, oh, two weeks ago that I began receiving heightened guidance that it was time to get a reign on my brain. As of Wednesday last week I experienced a major awakening around the ideas of power, connection, and love – one that rocked my world in a major way. My husband compared it to take a leg off of a four legged chair, and I resonate with that greatly. It takes a LOT of work to remain propped sitting on a four legged chair with only three legs on it, and when you lose your balance you fall Big Time.

That night I did some work on myself with the Archangels, releasing facade bodies and thought forms and belief patterns that no longer serve, and requesting the construction of new ones that do serve my highest new expression of me. Thursday I went to see Steve for our usual weekly rendezvous and we did some work on my sacral chakra (power center) and my heart chakra, specifically the back (connection center, in this case my ability to allow others to love me, and my ability to love myself).

By Thursday night I began my first of many forays into Hell. o.O Hell, by the way, is basically feeling totally powerless, being in total despair, not able to see why one should continue to bother with the whole breathing thing. You know: Hell. It was Baaaad…

And I could see myself in a disconnected way, wondering what in the world I was doing. I would wave my disconnected hand and say ‘hellllooooo, over here! There’s nothing actually wrong, here!’ but, I wasn’t listening… I was busy rolling around with stuff – or at least the majority of my awareness was. At least, my brain, and therefore my thoughts, and therefore my awareness, and therefore my emotions, were.

And at times I would totally lose myself in it, and the disconnected (or, I should say, totally connected) part of me that I’ve grown so fond of would fade into the background entirely as I ran amuck in the land of Hell, exploring this bog and that trench and this firepit and ohh, a sparkly big stinking puddle of mud! Let’s go see what’s in there!

Yeah, it’s funny now. : P My husband and Steve helped by maintaining that steady stance of ‘everything really is okay’ on the Real World side, but I was in the Hell of my own mind, a totally different continent away from them. They deserve many props for the immense effort, and I’m sure they played a part in my finally Waking UP!

Enough! I’m too high and moving too fast and creating too fast now to allow myself to continue to allow my mind to run rampant. Hell isn’t even a nice place to visit, let alone somewhere I want to stay, and I don’t plan on going back. It’s dark and scary and it’s Not Real – but it sure feels like it while you’re there! Not to mention it comes fully equipped with a strong urge to Figure It Out so you can Find Your Way Back.

It is NOT the chase that will lead you out of the labyrinth. Attempting to figure it out will only serve to lead you deeper in, and so it did every time I went to Hell. It took my going to sleep or being shocked into a totally different space OR exhausting myself completely for me to give up chasing one sparkly rotting bone after another and then settling down to gnaw on it for a while. Talk about yuck!

The thing is – we can fly by just letting go of the chase. Easier said than done, right? The mind loooooooves to chase and play fetch – i.e., it loves to figure things out. I always found people who referred to the brain as an over eager puppy to be condescending, at best. Now I’m starting to see where they were coming from… I think I’ll write the newest bestseller: Train Your Brain – Obedience Training for Your Mind.

Once I figure out how to do it… Honestly, I think I am gonna go check out some books on dog training… I read some, back in the day, and I think some of the principles are actually soundly applicable to this. Such as, the need for consistency. And the concept that a dog is actually much happier trained because it knows what’s ‘good’ and what’s ‘bad’ and finds a great deal of comfort in that structure.

I woke up this, as Steve likes to say, o’dark thirty, suddenly having all the pieces put together for me. The messages I had been ‘getting’ about meditating and learning to let go of thoughts I don’t want to be having. That the world hadn’t fallen apart while I slept and that I hadn’t just plain died in my sleep from lack of meaning to live was an epiphany in itself – I was pretty damn down there by the time I fell asleep.

Before falling asleep, however, I had had the presence of mind to ask for help – Archangel Michael, he of the Letting Schtuff Go, and Archangel Gabriel, he of the Clear Expression of Self. Keith, my husband, had been an unyielding rock to which to cling, and Steve had also txtd me not long before I finally exhausted myself and retreated to sleep with etheric, lofty, well-meaning yet totally unhelpful (in the moment – they were helpful later, so thank you ) messages such as ‘all is well! let go and reconnect!’ My inner response (which I didn’t actually give voice to at the time, go me! ) was, “Reconnect, my ass. Hmph.” Ahem.

And so, I got to wake up, totally understanding what had happened. I had a moment of total double vision where I was standing right between Connected and Disconnected. Connected saw the past and the future in the Now. Disconnected saw the Past in the Future, and there was no Now at all, there was only the intense need for immediate firefighting and rotten bone chasing. Again: Yuck. Pitouee.

I’m not actually sure where I am at this particular moment… I’m having fun writing and sharing. I’m definitely frustrated at myself, but I feel hope now, and I am finally firmly of the opinion that chewing on rotting corpse parts is gross. This is good! My mind has become self aware of its own making-existence-really-unhappy-and-uncomfortable patterns. And, I have a plan of action! I really am gonna go look up some dog training books, hehe.

Dear Mind,

You’re a great tool, and I mean that in the highest respect – we’re in this together, and you make it possible for me to create and play in this reality. But you really are getting to be too big of a puppy to be bouncing around at your whim, and together we are going to make things more comfortable and safer for you by setting down some firm guidelines. I realize you don’t like the idea, but I can see from my place of higher perspective that it’s going to make you and I very happy in the long run. I hope to earn your trust in this very shortly.

I’ll report back on my findings. This will make my mind happy. *beam* And hey, maybe I will write that book! It’s time to turn that four legged chair missing a leg into a very stable, steady, perpetually well-balanced three legged stool.

(Tapped!) Light Quotient, Empathy and Embodying the Law of Attraction

Yay! My first tap! *beam* Thank you so much for stepping up to the request! I am going to just allow this to flow as it will. There may be random stuff in here that doesn’t feel as if it directly applies to you – and that may be the case This is definitely a take what resonates and leave the rest deal here. I am totally opening up to the flow of whatever I feel led to share, moving with your pulling to bring it forth, and I appreciate you so much for that. And so – let’s play!

Okay, I as you “have felt the pull of my life opening me up into learning about energy, about relationships, about Love, health and awakening to all the joy that life has to offer” and slowly as I have found the materials that are needed at that point in my journey, I have read some really amazing books, and learned amazing tips and techniques to aid in my personal enlightenment. All of Rose Rosetree’s books are great and were a great asset as I began learning that I in fact was an empath and the Secret/Abraham-Hicks way of thinking is something I had figured out on my own, just had not been able to put it into words so therefore thought I would sound stupid if I tried. So now that I have read these books and many more I feel as if I am not the only one out there who thinks the way I do, although I do feel like if I don’t move to the east coast that I might never find a life partner who doesn’t think I am crazy, lol, anyway my reason for all of this is that even though I have educated myself extensively, I am having a hard time with the implementation of these actions in my life.

And here I thought the West coast was where it’s at – Sedona, Mt. Shasta, Boulder. Even Abe-Hicks are living over in CA now.

I feel I was drawn here to the East coast, about 20 minutes from D.C., specifically because so much focus in the world is Right Here. And we’re not being painted in a very nice light these days, or so I’ve heard. I do believe that I carry a lot of light as an individual, what’s referred to as Light Quotient. A person’s light quotient, if it’s at all brighter than the surrounding luminosity, actually serves, simply by its presence, to shed more light into other’s fields.

Now, I’m not saying it’s that I have particular beliefs or that I’m ‘better’ or anything at all like that. It’s more about, I believe, shedding beliefs that limit love and self expression…and, really, that’s about it. The more you shed beliefs (and thus realities around yourself) that dim love and/or foster limitation of your own self expression, you’re dampening your own light.

When someone with less self-imposed limitation enters a person’s field, the process known as Entrainment occurs. People suddenly have the ability to see more clearly, think more clearly, and act more clearly, just because there’s more light nearby for them to see by. There’s more light for them to see themselves and how amazing they really are, nearby.

Self limitation and the dimming of love for self and others always (I hesitate to use a term like ‘always’, because there are no absolutes, but thus far I have yet to encounter another cause) stems from fear of some kind or another. It’s easy to fear things in the dark. By the light of day, that lampshade doesn’t look like a boogey monster about to pounce but just the lampshade that it is.

And so, people with more of a light quotient (less schtuff between them and the source energy that they actually are) act as little beacons. Their light can spread for miles and miles, just like a single candle in pitch black darkness.

I would say that for you, Shannon – for whatever reason, you are right where you’re most perfectly meant to be right now. Until you feel drawn to move, that is!

Example 1: I know I am an empath, I know I feel other peoples emotions as if they are my own, and have started being able to tell when they are not mine, but I also feel strongly that I am supposed to help people, but how?? I have felt this way for years, but don’t know what to do to help them?? And thought I have read Empowered by Empathy cover to cover and then also purchased the audio book and have listened to it more than once, I just am not able to do what she says, I don’t feel like I am Skilled, Any advice??

I hear ya! I totally resonate with your statement, ‘I also feel strongly that I am supposed to help people, but how??’ right down to the ‘felt this way for years’ part. Probably, like me, on some level you’ve felt this pull your whole life.

Here’s how I came to a sense of peace (albeit temporary) on the subject of Empathy and helping others.

Empathy is an information gathering experience. It’s receptive/passive, and it allows you to feel another person’s space. Being empathic, you have the ability to tap their soul and their current incarnation. You have the ability to see and feel who they really are, and to see the visage that they’re wearing for this lifetime. And you can see the gap between.

You can see where they are naturally being called. You can see what’s pulling them and where they want to go. And you can see what’s holding them apart from that. You have the incredible gift that allows you to see all of them: The them that is in their box, and the them that is outside of their box. (A box is a construct made up of self-limiting beliefs, usually grouped and woven together by strands of similarity in resonance.)

I’ve found that, as a general rule, people are unable to see their own boxes right up until the point where they’re about to grow out of them. Again as a general rule, people don’t like having their boxes pointed out to them, because when you’re in a box you feel safe until you realize you’re in a box and that desire to grow kicks in. The desire to grow, and change, terrifies most people on a very primal level.

However, people across the board looooooove to hear about who they are outside of their box – and who wouldn’t? Outside of the box you’re beautiful, you’re expanded beyond your own limitations. Outside of the box you’re free (in comparison to inside your current box).

Now here’s the thing – we’re not talking about one box here. We’re talking about nested boxes, and the gaps between them. Get rid of aaall the boxes and you’ll find yourself back as one with Source, with no separation between you and All That Is. The boxes are our reality constructs and serve the purpose of giving us a structure within which to grow, layer by layer, as we’re ready, firm foundation in place each new step of the way. It’s a brilliant system.

And this is where the gift of empathy comes in – for me, anyway! By bearing witness to the Them that they are, outside of their box, you begin to pull it forth for them. You act as a gestalt, drawing from within them that which they are unable to perceive on their own. With you there, they begin to see just how beautiful it is, and they forget to be afraid. They reach – and the beautiful them that they are unfolding into reaches back to meet them, pulling them onward into a new, less limited version of themselves.

You do this by your very presence, by your very witnessing – isn’t that awesome?! And when you become conscious of this…and you begin to work with it, purposefully playing the part of the Awakener… When you begin to dance with the person that they are becoming, and you play… You help them. You help them to have access to more love, to more light. You help them become more Them. To, as I like to say on my business cards, reach for their potential and shine.

Now, you do this just by being you and seeing the various aspects of Them, whether you’re doing so actively by interacting with them as a coach or counselor or in some similar capacity, or as an art teacher or checkout person at a grocery store. You help people by bearing witness to the whole that they are in the process of Becoming, as individuals traveling from the inside out.

In other words, you can do this in any field, at any time, anywhere, with anyone. It’s all a matter of being Present and Aware, Here and Now. It’s all a matter of making that choice to See into the next highest level of a person, and enjoy the them that they are becoming – no matter who they are, what they’re doing, or how ugly they may be acting.

Now the one thing I would say with this is that in whatever capacity you do bring this to the fore, it’s NOT a matter of telling people how they should be, or who they really are, or what they’re doing wrong. It’s never about the negative, and is always about accentuating the positive – the positive is where the pull is coming from. It’s also not about forcing your space. You MUST wait until they ask – because in the asking, they are tapping, and you are brought on board with full permission to interact with them in all that they are, limited and unlimited.

(Now you know why I put in my blog ‘tap me!’ I couldn’t be having this conversation with you, with these statements and the like, without you pulling them forth. If I just came at you with this, I would be in a space of judgment, holier than thou, and who knows what else. Instead, I’m in a space of sharing of Me, with You, and we are equal partners in this creation. Totally different energy – this is the energy with which the coming New will be created. New religion. New world order. etc.)

Forcing help on someone who hasn’t asked is disrespectful of where they currently are (again, we all have our boxes, and we all have them for a reason) and comes more of a desire to make them change for our own sake, than theirs – thus the intention is not pure and so then neither can be the outcome.

So, to get back to your question! I found that feeling skilled as an Empath comes from taking risks and putting yourself out there – and so then having experiences that push your boundaries and help you realize that you really can do this. You have the skills – you read the books and understand them. Now you just need to reinforce your mental knowing with personal, reinforcing experience.

I did this myself by attending intensives with Rose – she has them once or twice a year, and they are INCREDIBLE. Very affirming, very reinforcing. I also put myself out there in one of the most scary endeavors ever: I offered free aura readings to anyone that wanted them. It took me doing 20 of them, being right on with every one, even to the point of making people cry with relief at the insights I offered, before I really began to believe that I could do this stuff.

Example 2: I have been on the verge of understanding “The law of Attraction” since long before the book and movies came out and became popular, I have been harping on my friends and family to do the positive thinking thing for years, But now that I have become aware of the caliber of the effects it could have on my life, I am having a hard time thinking in terms of “yeah sure my finances are fine I have ten mill in the bank now” or ‘oh yeah I just had my third week on the best seller list” Between The Secret, Infinite Possibilities: The Art of Living Your Dreams, and the many other similar references I should have no problem with this, and I want to be successful and I know I can but I just seem to be at a standstill right now. Any Ideas??

You’re singing my song! I’m in a similar space myself at the moment, and so am only just beginning to feel around the outside edges of my box on this subject. But here’s what I’ve come up with so far.

There’s a jump between Learning and Knowing. There’s another jump between Knowing and Believing. There’s another jump between Believing and Embodying. By the time you learn this stuff, and then know it, and then really believe it, the embodying and thus actually Being it will be the next natural step. It is, like many things, a process.

You have Learned (remembered) these things. (me too!). You Know these things because not only do you feel it in your bones – you’ve seen it work! And because you’ve actually seen it work, you’re really beginning to get on board with Believing it…and now we’re to the Embodying stage. Much and much must be dismantled – many a box – of the old belief systems into which we were all raised and which are prevalent and swirling all around us all the time, before the embodiment may fully come online.

Your Belief and thus your Embodiment must be stronger than everything you’ve been taught, and all that is around you. This takes time, experience, and trust – and a going back through the stages and personal questioning as well. Ask. Learn. Understand and Know. Believe. Embody. Wow! But wait… Ask. Learn. Understand and Know. Believe. Embody? Embody! Yes this stuff works! but wait… Ask… You get the idea.

You are talking about an entire reality shift, here. There are, however, more and more people waking up and adding their own tune to the drumming of Ask Learn Know Believe. That drumming is getting louder, and so more people are hearing it, and it gets louder… And soon, probably sooner than many may think, the common theme around you (even Oprah’s gotten on board!) will be the same reaching.

Yeah, we’re talking about the 100 monkey thing here. Miracles are only miracles because they’re unexpected and reach so far beyond our current ability to perceive – our current box on whatever subject – that we borderline don’t believe what’s right in front of our face.

We – You, I, and everyone else who is beginning to resonate to the tune of You Have The Power and You Always Have – are in the process of making a miracle a reality, one step at a time. And in a lot of cases, one tiny step at a time.

And so, as I’ve been doing with myself when I don’t get frustrated and forget to do so, start small. Start with things that you know you can do – go for the next logical step, and allow it to take you there. I know that I can manifest a parking space. This was once a HUGE quantum leap for me, but now it’s common practice, same as it is for a lot of people. It’s become so common place for me that these days I forget I’m doing it – I am embodying the beginning of that which I am becoming. And I bet you are, too.

When you’re Becoming something that is in direct opposition to the galvanic forces of the Group Consciousness and Current Reality, things tend to go a little slow. You’re doing awesome. And… The Group Consciousness and Current Reality is feeling it… Every little step you take and embody, you make it that much easier for everyone else to do the same – we really are that important.

So, when compared to how easy everything else seems to be, this may feel as if it’s moving at a snail’s pace. All I can say is, when you have a snail the size of a mac truck – that’s a pretty nice pace you’re setting!

What I have found works for me is to surround myself with reinforcing, uplifting material, and actually notice the amazing things I’m doing whenever I can, so I can keep up the momentum I have going. I also challenge myself in little ways, all the time, to shore up my current space so that when I’m ready, I can step up to the next level easily and comfortably.

Basically, I know I am going to do great things in this lifetime, I know that I am here to help people, I just don’t know how to get started and I also tend to be slightly impatient, lol, anyway, you seem to have a lock on helping people, well you have me anyway, and so I figured if you wanted to be tapped that I could give you a start. I would love to know what your opinion is.

Hehehe, you have no idea how endlessly gratifying it is to hear you say ‘you seem to have a lock on helping people’. Let me tell you, just the other night I was lamenting to my husband about how I’m not helping enough people, and maybe I’m missing the boat, and shouldn’t more be happening? Shouldn’t I be rich and pain-free and blissfully Happily Ever After by now? etc. etc. etc.

I was doing that because I forgot to look around… I forgot to be in that sparkling space of gratitude for current space that is so important for helping us move to the next space. I am helping people – just by being. I’m helping people by writing, and giving classes, and all kinds of things! I’m helping people so much that at least one person out there actually thinks I have a lock on helping people. *grin*

I’m not missing the boat – I Am the boat, and stuff is happening around me so fast that my head would spin if I was aware of it all. It’s all a matter of where you’re looking – if you’re looking at the horizon 1,000 miles in front of you (go with me on this ) then it feels like you’re not moving at all. If you’re looking at the island go by next to you so fast you were barely able to register it, then you’ll be able to see how fast you’re actually moving.

It’s all about perspective. Thank you tons and tons an’ for helping to reorient mine.

Thank You in advance!!
Shannon Rogers

PS you can put all or little of this on your page, I feel as if I am rambling a bit so feel free to cut out anything you see fit——Thanks!!!

It all felt good to me! So I have included all of it – even your PS

*hugs!* and much gratitude!

Tap Me! :D

This blog has been, so far, pretty much about my own healing and awakening journey. I am now feeling a strong desire to make it about Us. You, the reader, and me, the flow-er of language.

I’ve discovered that when someone asks me a question with which I have some connection, I feel… well, the best word to describe it is Tapped. I feel a pull, and the pull turns into a flow with which I get to play and dance and I LOVE how that feels.

Now, I’m not an expert. I’m not a guru, an enlightened being, a sage, or any other word that describes someone who supposedly has all the answers. I’m a person, just like you. I have felt the pull of my life opening me up into learning about energy, about relationships, about Love, health and awakening to all the joy that life has to offer. And now I want to learn more – through you.

So! This is my official request! Tap me!

Ask whatever your heart desires. My responses in turn will always carry the vibe of personal growth and self-empowerment.

To submit your question, email me at timetoplay@loveisthere.com. And give me some back story to work with! The more of yourself you put into your question, the more you’ll pull and the more you’ll tap and the more fun we’ll have. I will share your name, question, and back story (unless you request otherwise) and my response here for everyone to experience.

Let’s play! I can’t wait to see what we create together!

I Wanna Be A Radio Talk Show Host! :D

Hehe. I do! And I realized I may as well put that desire out there to the Universe in the most active way I know how: A blog entry! Here’s the details -

What I want:

First off, this would be of a new-age-like variety, targeting an audience that is just now waking up to the fact that there’s more to life than what they’ve been told and raised to believe. People who are searching for empowerment and re-connection with their authentic selves. I want a show that’s like an hour long, maybe 45 minutes. It opens up with my talking about a subject – who knows what, I have such a wide range of interests that I have enough to keep me busy for years. All subjects would have the common theme of bringing people self-empowerment, with actual practical application in their lives. This would be followed with a call in section for half an hour or so, people getting a good 10-15 mins each. Sort of an Ask Dawn deal. Wrap up would be a short guided meditation, different every time based on the way the energy is flowing – heal the world, heal yourself, waking up to potential. Who knows, the possibilities are endless

• To work from home – or have an easy commute (Internet or FM/AM radio, either works for me )
• To be highly valued
• To be working with/for a professional station, or at least one that takes themselves seriously
• Large, wide listener base
• Creative license
• Decent pay (negotiable – what I want most is to feel valued)
• Good hours – once a week spot for starters

What I have to offer:

I have been working with ‘this stuff’ for years and have a natural aptitude for conveying complex ideas in the moment in a way that people can really understand and wrap their minds around. I have been honing my skills with my voice for a while now, including as a teacher, doing guided meditations, and most recently sending healing energy and gestalt guiding group manifestations!

• Highly charismatic – great people person
• Awesome voice that was made for radio (I’ve been told this often enough that I now totally believe it )
• Lots of prior experience expressing myself vocally
• Very creative
• Fast, in the moment thinker
• Intuitive/empath with primary skills being auditory
• I’m great at what I do
• Hugely knowledgeable about ‘all this stuff’
• True desire and intention to be of service

How this will come about:

I have no idea. And that’s okay! I’m just figuring out what I want and putting it out there to the Universe. I know for certain that there is a station out there looking for exactly what I have to offer, and offering exactly what I’m looking for. It’s just a matter of us discovering each other!

If you feel you have a connection step for us – please pass this along to them and/or put us in touch with each other! I can be reached at dawn(at)loveisthere(dot)com. My website is located at www.loveisthere.com – there you’ll find voice samples and guided meditations and other neat stuff

The Influential Moon – Dates and Aspects for the Remainder of 2007

I made this for myself! It was quite a bit of work, and when it was all done I realized, you know? Maybe others would find it as useful as I will!

Basically, I realized one day how very much the moon and what sign it is in influences my moods. I watched for a while, and looked back at some big days for me and found a trend. I love trends. I also love personal growth and personal alchemy – it’s what I’m all about. Coming to a clearer and clearer sense of self and getting to the core of who I am by shedding beliefs layer by layer.

So, this whole chart, and the descriptions of the signs, is geared toward using astrology for personal alchemy. I researched all the signs, their influences in general and their influences specifically when the moon is in them, walked away and let go of it all, then came back and wrote my own descriptions for each one from an intuitive space. The moon was in Virgo when I was doing this by the way. Ahem.

You’ll notice there are no negatives to the descriptions of the signs as I wrote them. Since I’m using this to set the energy of the day for myself, Law of Attraction style, I chose to focus only upon those elements I would find uplifting and or useful in the alchemical process. The sign for the month is the overall general energy – that’s the Sun in Sign entries you’ll see. The sign that the moon is in for a particular day is the specific influence that comes in on top of the sign for the month.

The idea behind this whole thing is that by being aware of the sign for the day and the sign for the month I can consciously be in better flow with energy as it unfolds.

Once again, this was written by me, for me – I’m not an astrologer or anything! I’m finding the whole thing to be amazingly useful, though, and basically just wanted to put it out there and share with others. If you enjoy it and find it useful too, please write and lemme know! Also, I have this as a doc written in Open Office if anyone wants it with its original formatting intact – all nice and set up in tables and everything for easy reading.

Taurus

“I Have.”

With the energy of Taurus, very earthy, steadfast determination becomes the focus. Perseverance is strong, bringing with it the tenacity needed to push through and go the distance, calling upon deep reserves of untapped inner strength.

Consistency is the name of the game with this energy. Slow and steady wins the race, and this includes going deep within and shutting out the world to a degree in order to tap those deep resources. Step by step, forward motion is assuredly steady, disciplined, and above all, realistic. A goal has been sighted and will be reached.

Along with this practical, feet firmly on the ground sense of Self comes the very visceral desire for sensual contact with others. Not to be swayed from the goal or even to collaborate, but more to gain support and enjoy the feel of a steadying influence.

Gemini

“I Think.”

With the energy of Gemini, the pressure is off – it’s time to play! The mind once again rises to the surface, practically bouncing off the walls with all the connections and passions it suddenly discovers as this energy comes to the fore. It’s as if a whole new world suddenly opens up, with fun and variety and passionate thinking readily apparent.

Passionate conversation and a desire to share ideas and rise to new heights of interesting logic and connections together also becomes apparent. Ideas, rolling them around, showing them off, playing with them with others in a wide variety of ways is the focus of this time. Making those ideas walk and talk and igniting a similar passion in others is the name of the game.

Cancer

“I Feel.”

With the energy of Cancer, with its very own ruling planet being the Moon, the moon element at this time is very strong. Deep emotions are all-pervading, as is intuition. A fondness for others in general, a sense of the deeply caring nurturer is brought out with this energy, and yet that space of ambition, of taking the initiative is also present.

Bonding with others, appreciating the closeness of personal and familial ties and drawing them even closer is a focus at this time. A quality of protection comes about with this as well – the desire to keep those held dear safe and secure.

Leo

“I Will.”

With the energy of Leo, the energy of the sun comes to the forefront, and all that entails. Firey, radiant and full of energy, the tendency to push through barriers that previously felt insurmountable is present. Optimism reigns, and the sensation of having the power to surmount any odds runs through this time.

A strong sense of ego accompanies that boost of confidence, a sense of pride and centeredness in exactly who one is and what one is about. The urge to shine is incredibly strong at this time.

Virgo

“I Analyze.”

With the energy of Virgo, it’s all about the details details details. The mind comes to the fore here, with its desire to analyze and compartmentalize. This is a time of looking at things from a very objective and discriminating point of view. Lists are made and compared. Research is done and compiled and cross-referenced for later use.

Attention to details in the practical world is especially heightened at this time. Just *how* do you do things, and is that the most efficient way to go about doing them? In what new way can things be done to make them more streamlined and not only efficient but expansive as well.

This is when the groundwork is laid for later use and pull from the other aspects as their time comes around. A practical testing of that which is currently in production, and the gathering of information for use in creating new ways of doing things, later.

Libra

“I Balance.”

With the energy of Libra, out comes the charismatic co-creator. Extremely creative and given to reaching for the stars, this energy is all about the creation of a whole new, softer way of looking at things. One that is well balanced, and beautiful in its simple efficiency.

Focused and ambitious, relationships come more to the fore at this time – specifically with the intent of creating something beautiful together as a harmonic group dancing as one.

Open-mindedness and the ability to see things from many sides – in balance – is influential at this time. Seeing the many shades of grey is the tendency, both within and without.

Scorpio

“I Desire.”

With the energy of Scorpio, a time of going down deep into the depths of our own subconscious oceans of emotion is initiated. Much has been percolating there under the surface, hidden from the light of day by the practicalities of the mind.

When the energies of the moon and Scorpio combine, you come upon the cathartic, alchemical duo that tends to lead one into the darkness of their own dysfunctional belief systems. That which no longer serves rises up and insists upon being noticed – so that it may be brought forth and transformed in the light of conscious awareness.

This is a time of epiphanies about how you’ve been doing things…and why… And why that may no longer be serving your bests interests, your greatest joy, or your highest good.

Sagittarius

“I Perceive.”

With the energy of Sagittarius, out comes the tendency to figure out new ways to do commonly practiced things. Optimism reigns in regard to belief in the self to see things from a new, exciting angle, and improve upon the situation in a very constructive way that directly effects the way things would normally be done.

Humor comes out in spades at this time, and you may be pleased with just how clever you can really be, and how you can put two and two together in ways others may not have even thought of.

A desire to try new things, to be adventurous and break out of the old routine comes to the fore at this time as well. Open enthusiasm for doing what has never been done before will make itself apparent as ruts and patterns begin to chafe that freedom-seeking spirit that has risen within.

Capricorn

“I Use.”

With the energy of Capricorn, in comes a time of sensible, practical application of that which has been discovered. Methodical poring over of the facts and details, with an intense desire not to insure that nothing has been missed. The new is now tested.

This is a time when new patterns are put into practice, and tested for consistency and worthiness in the ‘real world’ with an emphasis on finding peak level performance.

With the energies being extremely practical, grounded and even keeled, this is a time of sensible pragmatism with the determination that the best of the best will be found, finely tuned, and put into standard practice.

Aquarius

“I Know.”

With the energy of Aquarius, out comes the confident stance of one who has found a new way, and is now living it. This is a time to quietly inspire others through Being that which has been discovered, tested, and put into practice.

This sharing will occur through interactions that are common place enough, but have been raised to a higher state by the energies of the time. Charisma flourishes with the newfound confidence of embodying a new, very individual way of being.

At this time, everyone is very much in their own world, inspiring and being inspired by those around them in a detached state of observance, from a desire to be of service – to be an inspiration of and to life itself.

Pisces

“I Believe.”

With the energy of Pisces, spirituality and the energy of seeing beyond time and place comes to the fore. Compassion, sensitivity, the nurturing feminine within makes itself known with all of its receptive intuition and empathy.

Emotion in its many subtle nuances and layers becomes a rich sea of possibility with this energy. The world opens up and reveals the gifts that have always been present, but are only now knowable and perceivable through this expanded sense of imagination and energetic perception.

Everything is revealed in all of its beauty and tangle. It is the vision cultivated during this time that has the potential of creating a wave of insight and possibility that one may ride for many moons to come.

Aries

“I Am.”

With the energy of Aries, action and outward expansion becomes the focus. Highly energetic reaching for those stars as a statement of individual expression, as a statement of Beingness, becomes an imperative. Me me me. I Am, and You will know me.

Self for a time is seen as defined through expression into the world at large with a high dose of confidence and optimism to back it up. This energy brings the sense of knowing that now is the time to take action, and to make the Self known to others as it is already known personally.

Focused ambition is very personal at this time, and all about putting the Self out there, not only for the individual, but as an inspiration to others.
