In 1981 the United Nations
established International Peace Day and in 2001 the UN General Assembly
unanimously voted to designate September 21st as 'an annual day of
non-violence and cease-fire." Do you think any of them were astrologers?
Or maybe they were just really tuned into the cosmos since this is the
time of year for the Autumn Equinox and when the Sun enters Libra – the
sign of relationship, harmony, diplomacy, and peace. Technically this
year, the Sun enters Libra on Sunday the 22nd but Libra's ruling planet
Venus is well represented on Saturday the 21st by a peace-loving Moon in
Taurus.
The Harvest Full Moon before
daybreak on Thursday (4:13 am Pacific Time) combines the transpersonal
awareness of a Moon in Pisces with the strategic practicality of the Sun
in Virgo. Something else to watch is the fairly tight lineup of Saturn,
Venus and the North Node of the Moon on the same day, lending a certain
air of 'destiny' to this lunation. Do you feel yourself being called
to something, to a new place, house, career or relationship? What are
you waiting for?
We may not know the path, maybe
not even the next step, but we can't deny the unquestionable urge
growing within us. The seed in the ground doesn't wait for an
invitation, and maybe not even the perfect set of circumstances. The
ground may be hard and rocky, possibly even inhospitable. Have you never
witnessed the flower turning its face to the sun from the crack in a
sidewalk? Or what about that opportunistic 'weed' relentlessly trying to
make friends amongst the tomato and basil plants?
What have they got that we don't?
Well for one thing I bet they don't sit around recounting the many ways
they have failed in the past, or blaming their parents and ancestors
for bad genes or upbringing. And they don't make mental lists of all
the challenges and obstacles before them. What they do have is a clear
sense of who they are and how to listen to the voice within. The small
two-leafed sprout hardly knows whether it will turn into an ear of corn
or a fragrant orchid. It probably doesn't care!
Workbook Lesson 135 in A Course
In Miracles talks about 'present confidence'. I love this phrase and yet
forget its message way too often. So let's review – for my sake! In
part, it's about grabbing onto the present moment and forgetting about
the past – literally and releasing the need to try to control the
future. It's about receiving and listening instead of trying to plan for
every conceivable future contingency. What a relief! This Full Moon in
Pisces reminds me of this idea – combining our ability to listen to our
divine source (Pisces) and then taking strategic action (Virgo) based on
that information.
Within all of us is a seed, a
divine blueprint just itching to be manifested. Will I be one of a
thousand corn stalks waving in a Kansas landscape? Or will I be the
sweetly scented tea rose that takes first prize at the state fair? Will I
be the kindly tutor who builds the confidence of a dyslexic
sixth-grader or win the Nobel Peace Prize? Maybe it's not important for
me to know. For now, I'd like to just sit in 'present confidence'
knowing that my divine spark will not be extinguished, but it's up to me
to allow the intuition to keep flowing and to take action accordingly.
Until next week, let go and wear loose clothes.

SEPTEMBER 16
MOON IN AQUARIUS |
Moon Void of Course 1:19 am (PDT) – 6:58 am Tuesday morning
The morning is electric in the aftermath of thinking Mercury
mixing it up with stimulating Uranus late last night. Hopefully you've
never stuck your finger in a wall outlet or inadvertently received a
jolt of electricity doing household maintenance, but if you have, you
know both the excitement and the irresistibility. It can be like
watching a brilliant display of lightening. We may be a bit scared, but
we are equally fascinated and just can't seem to look away. Minds are
on fire with ideas and inspiration as last night's storm is energized
today by a Moon in Aquarius.
Take advantage of the energy to see a challenge or issue from a
new perspective – outlandish ideas are to be expected. This energy is
also light and even humorous, so if you are trying to get a message
across, even a serious one, don't weigh it down with additional
sternness. Think about political satires and late night comedians – they
often educate and provoke us to think in new ways by getting us to
laugh at ourselves.
Daily Muse: Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth. (Rumi) |
SEPTEMBER 17
MOON in AQUARIUS / PISCES
|
Moon enters Pisces 6:58 am (PDT)
Thinking Mercury is still inspired today and ready to take action
as it makes a productive connection to energetic Mars. This is a great
day to listen to the voice of the universe, to your god, divine source
and higher self. As the Moon glides into intuitive Pisces in early
morning, we can all channel the songs and messages of the cosmos.
Novelists, poets, screen and song writers and creative types get your
pens, paper, instruments and recorders ready – this is Mercury the
messenger in action doing what he does best. Sweet lunar connections to
Neptune the planet of dreams, Venus the planet of love, Saturn the
manifestor, and Pluto the transformer make our ideas and communications
all the more powerful and magical today.
Daily Muse: The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. (Sylvia Plath)

SEPTEMBER 18
MOON in PISCES
|
Venus is double-dating
today first with a conjunction to Saturn and later with a connection to
transcendental Pluto. At first blush, a merger between the planet of
love and the planet of structure and discipline doesn't hold much
appeal. It's true; Saturn can be a pretty tough character and is likely
to hold us accountable for our expenses and indulgences both in love and
finances. However, I kind of like this mix as Saturn provides the
backbone to make a commitment one way or another. It can wreak havoc on a
relationship or decision that is wishy-washy. But, it can also give us
the courage to make a commitment – to a job, relationship, idea, or
budget. It may be time to 'fish or cut bait' – do it now or get out of
the way!
When Venus aligns with Pluto in early evening, the message is
underscored – dig deep, understand your real motivations and make a
decision. And did I mention this energy can be pretty darn sexy? When
Pluto and Venus get together we may be looking at a Kundalini rising
experience! Whether it's sex, meditation, yoga, or another avenue, there
is a potential for personal renovation and transformation of ideas
about self-worth and self-esteem.
Daily Muse: As long as you look for someone else to
validate who you are by seeking their approval, you are setting yourself
up for disaster. You have to be whole and complete in yourself. No one
can give you that. You have to know who you are - what others say is
irrelevant. (Nic Sheff) |
SEPTEMBER 19
MOON in PISCES / ARIES |
Moon Void of Course 4:13 am (PDT) – 9:58 am
Full Moon 26 Pisces 4:13 am (PDT)
We'll have just a few precious hours to soak up the healing vibes
of the Harvest Full Moon in sensitive Pisces, before the Moon races
into action-oriented Aries in mid-morning. But that's the way of life
and certainly the way of the cosmos. The Moon in Pisces will provide the
intuition and imagination while the Sun in Virgo will provide the
channel and strategy for taking action. The reinforcements arrive just a
few hours later when the Moon fires into Aries with motivation to act
on our ideas and intuitions. Saturn the planet of manifestation is
closely aligned with both Venus and the North Node of the Moon (think
destiny, your heart's desire) so don't be surprised if this Full Moon is
accompanied by new life-changing opportunities.
Information and mouths will flow freely today – maybe a bit too
freely as Mercury the planet of thinking and communication square's off
with expansive and ethical Jupiter. Take note of that quality of Jupiter
that is associated with ethics because Mercury's square has a tendency
to disregard this aspect and opens the door to both exaggerations and
even blatant lies. This 'creativity' is mostly harmless, but we're
feeling expansive and optimistic and may inadvertently, or on purpose
let a rich and imagination and fantasy life be represented as the truth
even if it isn't. The upside is an open-minded and enthusiastic attitude
and outlook.
Daily Muse: There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.
(Mark Twain) |
SEPTEMBER 20
MOON IN ARIES |
Moon Void of Course 6:25 pm (PDT) – 3:33 pm Saturday afternoon
Pluto stations Direct 8:27 am (PDT)
It's a busy and energetic day at the cosmic dance so try to stay
on your toes and be ready to dance. The slower moving outer planets take
center stage as Pluto ends a 5-month retrograde cycle and makes a
sextile to Saturn. This 60 degree angle between these two planets is the
last in a series of three (it also happened on 12/26/12 and 3/8/13).
Sextiles are easy flowing energy between planets allowing them to work
together cooperatively. In this case – important changes and
transformations represented by Pluto in Capricorn are being facilitated
by insight, strategies and even new resources offered by Saturn in
Scorpio. By the way we probably will not notice Pluto moving direct
today but in the next few weeks and months we might notice the effects
of internal work we have been doing and reaping the rewards.
As 'sideshows' Venus is squabbling with Uranus – you have a great
idea and your partner thinks you're crazy or vice versa. Melding the
energies of Venus and Uranus is a challenge but quite the eye opener as
we consider finding joy and pleasure in new opportunities or in unusual
places. But don't take your feet completely off the ground. Tthinking
Mercury is mixing it up with dreamy Neptune which is imaginative but
likewise can be confusing and disorienting.
Daily Muse: Common sense and a sense of humor are the same
thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common
sense, dancing. (William James) |
SEPTEMBER 21
MOON in ARIES / TAURUS
|
Moon enters Taurus 3:33 pm (PDT)
International Day of Peace
This is the International Day of Peace as designated by the
United Nations. Right on cue it would seem, the Moon extinguishes the
fiery and warrior spirit of Aries and settles into the calm and
peace-loving energy of Venus-ruled Taurus. (Angels and numerologists
will appreciate the timing – 3:33 pm (PDT.) Venus is the planet of
values and symbolizes what we attract into our lives. Today's Moon
placement reminds us to be conscious of what's most important and to
take action consistent with those values. Taurus is an earthy sign that
delights in the physical senses. Take care of your body as well as your
mind and spirit today.
Daily Muse: It is not enough to teach children how to
read, write and count. Education has to cultivate mutual respect for
others and the world in which we live, and help people forge more just,
inclusive and peaceful societies. (UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon 100-day countdown message to the International Day of Peace) |
SEPTEMBER 22
MOON in TAURUS
|
Autumn Equinox - Sun enters Libra 1:44 pm (PDT)
When we say the season of autumn is in the air, we're not really kidding
as this is the day the Sun enters Libra – an assertive cardinal sign
that like its close relatives – Aries, Cancer and Capricorn – initiates
big changes. Those peace-loving Libra's we often talk about are also
gifted with a divine urge to shift consciousness. Associated with the
planet Venus and represented by a pair of scales, they value equality,
justice, fairness, balance, compromise and partnership. The energy of
love and harmony is underscored today with the Moon in Taurus – the
other sign associated with Venus the planet of love. But things are not
as quiet as me might suspect as the Moon makes the rounds connecting
with 4 planets today. Listen to your heart and be in touch with your
emotions. Be responsible for your feelings and be willing to be romantic
and a dreamer. Listen to your feelings. What are they telling you about
what's really important to you?
Daily Muse: If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace. (John Lennon) |

IIt's been raining around here
for three days and there's more on the way. This sort of overcast sky
doesn't usually hit Colorado unless we're socked in by a snow storm.
This makes me think about winter and the holidays. This also makes me
realize that the season is much closer than I think.
With that in mind, I'd like to offer some simple tips for getting a
jump on the holiday mentality this year, all without a bit of tension
or gloomy thought. In fact, if done right, I believe you can have a
stress-free holiday season and completely enjoy yourself.
One of the main problems is that the season kind of sneaks up on
us. We all know it's coming, and we're always surprised that it arrives
earlier every year, and yet it still ambushes us.
Solution? Here's what I do. I go to hobby and craft stores. These
stores cater to crafters, hobbyists and people who want to learn to
paint little, happy trees.
Right now, if you visit any one of these of these businesses,
you'll encounter a massive Christmas display, one that might make you
exclaim, "Ho!" You'll see trees, ornaments, tinsel, lights and every
other little thing you can imagine, needed to deck your halls with
boughs of holly, albeit artificial.
On top of that, they have Halloween stuff, tons of it. Like a
bizarre museum of the seasons, you can peruse costumes, foam pumpkins,
spiderweb fabric, skull lanterns, tiny skeleton hands, eyeballs designed
to be placed in a vase and other various and sundry assorted "creepy"
items.
Guess what else they have? Yup, you guessed right; they have
Thanksgiving items galore. Feast your hungry eyes on Pilgrims,
scarecrows, more pumpkins, cornucopias, artificial corn and squash and
anything else you could want, or not want, to make your house an homage
to gluttony, including plastic turkeys.
I'm not advocating that you buy any of this stuff, but walking
through these places puts it in perspective. After staring at 150
pre-lit Christmas trees and 20 aisles of ornaments, wreaths and ribbon,
you become desensitized, some might say numb, and don't fear the
holidays a bit.
Since so much of the holiday season seems to be about gatherings, I
suggest having a couple. Many folks tell me that they don't necessarily
enjoy being around certain members of their family, making them dread
such occasions. Since some of us seem to have a need to say "yes," to at
least one of these feasts, I urge getting it out of the way now. Call
people you don't like and hang out with them. It'll still be steaming
fresh in your mind, and when invited during the season, you'll be more
inclined to do what you really want to do, stay home. (Okay, kind of
kidding about this, but only kind of.)
I've been told that there are stress free family gatherings. If you
like people, get a hold of them and see them now. In fact, this should
be how life is year round. Don't you agree?
Here's another idea. Watch holiday movies. Why? You'll be less
emotionally manipulated and see what these films are really about.
Here, let me give you an example. Watch any version of A Christmas
Carol by Charles Dickens. The story is about a greedy old man and his
redemption. Then watch, It's a Wonderful Life. Although the finale takes
place during the Christmas season, most of the movie doesn't. However,
the thrust of this classic is, good guy vs greedy old man. How about A
Christmas Story? Okay, it's young greed here, but I think you get my
point.
It would seem that a couple of the main ingredients in a good
Christmas tale are greed and cynicism. Don't get me wrong. I love these
movies, but what does it say about our society, that we have to be
reminded not to be greedy cynics for one season? Instead, I choose to
embrace gratitude and celebrate the joy of life every day, wrapping
paper or not.
Decide what you want your holiday to be. If you want to give gifts,
give them, but only if you really want to. Faith, Hope and Charity
(Charity and Love are synonymous), are important virtues. They teach
that any gift given without love isn't really a gift at all, so why give
it?
I celebrate Halloween as the first day of winter. In the old
calendars, sunset on Halloween marked the first moment of winter and was
a time of great celebrations. By the way, this makes the winter
solstice Mid-Winter's Day, instead of the first day of winter. It may
seem contrived, but it works for me.
Think about getting a sun lamp. Seasonal Affective Disorder is
real. In Colorado, we get over 300 days of sunshine a year, so I haven't
invested in a sun lamp, although today it might come in handy.
The bottom line is, only do what you want to do, think for
yourself, give gifts only if you want to, spend time with people you
like and love, and most importantly be happy. Instead of dreading the
holidays, look forward to them. Life's way too short to spend three
months a year stressed out for nothing.
For those of you how love the holidays the way I do, spread our
little secret that it's a magical and wonderful time of year, one we
look forward to with great anticipation. For those of you who don't,
well, you may want to brush up on your Dickens.
Until next week, I wish you peace, love and a wonderful life. (Atta boy, Clarence!)

Today I am off making history at the very first Gay
Pride event in my city. It has been an amazing week of hard work and
love. On Thursday evening I testified before the city council, urging
them to pass a Non-discrimination Ordinance that would protect LGBT
citizens from discrimination in employment, housing and public
accommodations. I have so much to share, but unfortunately I have a
Pride parade to attend! Please stay tuned to The Psychic Update next
week, where I will share all of the amazing experiences I have had this
week! In the meantime, go here (http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/38674179
)to see video of the city council hearing. It is very long, but if you
go all the way to the end and work backward I am the fourth to the last
speaker. As you can see we all wore white shirts with red "equal signs"
to indicate to the council that we are all equal. There were over 100
people in those shirts. What an amazing testament to the fact that love
is alive and well in our community!
Until next week, love is the answer!
Blessings my friends,
Kristi
