Aloha,
It's been a few days since I have written. Of course, Thursday Dec. 9 was the beginning of the Mercury Retrograde. You know, that time where we are supposed to go inward and reflect on the state of our lives, our motivations and our plans. It's not that we can't also move forward during a retrograde, but mostly this time is about review, reassessment, restructuring. With all this happening on the inside ~ then on the outside, we may find a higher than usual incidence of cars breaking down, computers crashing or having serious glitches, banking errors, contract disputes or communication breakdowns, misunderstandings, misperceptions. This is only a reflection of the changes we need to make within. The retrograde lasts atleast until Christmas. Use the time wisely by going into a deep self-reflection...possibly avoiding the "pitfalls" that are so customary of this time. After a full review, dream big ~ larger than life. Plan out your strategy and stay focused.
There is also a big pow-wow happening this week with Mercury (the thinking planet ~ in review while retrograde), Mars (action, desire, will) and Pluto (power, transformation). They are all at 4 degrees of Capricorn and cozying right up tho the North Node destiny point. If there was ever a time to put your thoughts into action in a big and powerful way...this is it! Many metaphysicians are talking about this week as one that could change your lives, alter your course and point you in the direction of your dreams...maybe even your destiny or fate.
What have we got to lose by not going for it? And, even at the very least, you should have no problem saying what's on your mind. The truth is easy to see, and we are not likely to let anything or anyone stand in the way of our true beliefs and strongly held convictions ~ nor should we. So, take the bull by the horns and speak your truth and walk your talk like never before!
On Tuesday, we wake up to an all day Aries Moon that takes us through until Thursday. We are full of fire and ready to claim new territory. Just be careful not to trample over anyone. It could be very easy to become selfish, greedy or power-hungry with all this Pluto stuff going on, especially when fueled by an exploding fountain of flames that represents the Aries energy.
By Thursday afternoon and all day Friday, we are able to calm down a bit and come back into our bodies. This would be an excellent time to focus on a little self-indulgence in self-care. Surround yourself with the beauty of Nature and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Step into the present. Are you comfortable? Secure? Do you have everything you need? Taurus is a slow and steady builder ~ loyal and faithful. While in Mercury review, ask yourself if you are in balance. The shadow side of Taurus is over-indulgence, selfishness, stubborness ~ with an over-emphasis on the material world and possessions. Oh, and let's not forget about the resistance to change! Just remember, refusing to move leads to stagnation. Change is the only constant. May as well learn to roll with it. Remember that the true path is in the "being," not the "having." I know it's cliche, but the journey really is the destination. Might as well enjoy it.
By the weekend, our minds are a-chatter when the moon shifts into Gemini. It's like the energy of Peter Pan ~ the eternal youth. Always curious, always seeking and disseminating more information, and flitting about like a busy bee from flower to flower. Sleep may be hard to come by ~ so make sure you have some Nighty-Night tea on hand. The key is to harness all that energy and point it into a powerful direction. Otherwise, we're more like riders on a wild and un-tamed buking bronco ~ spinning off into all directions, but never really getting anywhere.
Okay, friends. That's it for now. Sorry it's been a few days since I've written. I have been very ill and in recovery-mode. Am on the mend and swinging back into action. Thanks for hanging in there ~
Sincerely,
Dawn Elizabeth

Astrology for Monday, Dec. 6, 2010
The moon will remain in Sagittarius for the first half of the day. Sometime after lunch, the moon moves into stoic Capricorn, bringing us back down to Earth and eager to devise a plan for the state of our lives. Recall that the moon is representative of our emotional field. Make no mistake, it is a powerful influence that effects us daily. Today, the moon makes many connections to other planets. If nothing else, it's seems like it might be hard to feel "settled" today. The first meeting with Mars, earlier in the day, heats up our emotions, ignites our passions and adds fuel to whatever it is we are feeling. This need not be good nor bad, it just intensifies things.
Later in the day, our thoughts and emotions unite and take on a rather serious tone, thanks to a continued fusion between Mercury (the thinking planet) and Pluto (power, transformation). Our thoughts are weighty and deep. We are concerned with nothing short of radical changes. What is happening in your life now? How is your health? Your relationships? Your career?
All of this year, the cosmic weather has been blowing the winds of change our way. It feels uncomfortable, it feels like a challenge. Those of us who have been the most fixed, stubborn or set in our ways and habits are the ones subject to the most upheaval. The overall theme remains the same ~ align with your truth. Well, what does that really mean?
Think of every area on your life. Are you feeding your body the kind of foods it needs to feel energized, alive and vibrant? Are you getting daily exercise, fresh air and sunlight? What about your job? Does it support your true gifts and talents? Are you excited each day when you awake to get out in the world and do your thing? Are you in a relationship? Does your partner truly enhance your life. Are you walking the same path on life? Is your relationship in a healthy state of ebing?
These are really big questions. Even if we know we are not satisified, we may not know what to do to change, or to begin to change. Again, this is a global astrological theme. We are being pressed harder than ever to live our lives according to our highest good.
This week, we are given many opportunities to put a plan in place. We are still under the influence of the New Moon throughout the week. There is just enough angst in the air to alert us that something feels uncomfortable, out of place.
The Capricorn Moon through Wednesday gives us the push to plan our work and work our plan. Put it in writing. Allow yourself to take baby steps. This is a powerful time. Don't underestimate your own power to institute major change in your life.
Venus, the relationship planet is in Scorpio, the sign of the detective, shaman and natural psychologist. She is making positive connections with many planets all week and supporting us through our relationships, not only with people ~ but in our relationships to our own values and principals. Values? Principals? Yes. Do you know what they are? Are you drawing appropriate boundaries to protect and be true to them? If not, then that is your current challenge.
Take advantage of the Capricorn moon's ability to organize the situation, set goals and plan your steps. Make a list. Be the manager of your own destiny. I am here to support you in positive change.
Until tomorrow,
Dawn Elizabeth
