Wisdom from Grandmother Moon
for Sept/Oct 2009

We are indeed in a time
of incredible change and transition. Life is just not that smooth and easy, nor
has it been for a long time. A number of years ago, I thought I was going crazy
because I just couldn't get a grip on "reality."
How wonderful it was to find out that I was not alone in how I felt and in fact,
that many powerful cosmic shifts and
planetary alignments were stirring the pot, creating what many are
calling, the Earth Changes.
"She changes everything She touches and everything She touches changes"
The words to this beautiful
chant honor the Goddess aspect of the Divine and acknowledge the ever-shifting
cycles of Nature. Even more than ever before, the concept that "the only thing
we can count on is change" is so very
apparent everywhere we look. "We're living the end of time. Not the end of the
world, but the end of a world age....Because the end of anything also
marks the beginning of what comes next, we're also living the start of what
follows
the end of time: the next world age, which ancient traditions called the
great cycle." (from Fractal Time:
The Secret of 2012 and a New World Age by Gregg Braden in an article
in Wisdom Magazine, March 2009, p.27)
"The Mayans prophesied that from 1999 we have 13 years to actualize shifts
in our awareness and behavior, to stray from the path of self and global
destruction, and to move onto a path that opens our consciousness to integrate
us with all that exists." (from Countdown to 2012: Approaching the year
2012 As An Opportunity by Cohen and Landau,
www.oursacredjourneys.com)
From the early nineties, we have been enticed, asked, pushed and forced to make
changes in order to deepen our self-awareness and connect to our true self.
"2012 is code for this quantum shift point, the transition period between the
old world and the new. Its personal, planetary and cosmic meaning is
stored in the cellular memory of every living being on the planet, as well as
the Earth herself....We are guided by the stars through this magical time, the
pre-dawn hours
of the next world age." (from

The planet
Uranus, the great awakener and the planet of revolution, has been moving
through the sign of Pisces (2003-2011) breaking down old structures in order to
change the status quo. Pisces governs our emotions, intuition and
spirituality. This combination has been assisting in creating a spiritual
revolution and a major shifting in how we deal with our emotions and connect to
our intuition.
Neptune in Aquarius (1998-2012) is assisting us in learning how to tame
the ego and surrender to the flow of the Universe.
Acceptance of all events as
perfect and in Divine order; using our thoughts and visualizations to manifest
what we desire; and taping into our power to create our reality are some of the
gifts of this powerful planetary transit.
Pluto in Sagittarius (1995-2008) was a time of digging deep into every
facet of life to expose the truth and to overthrow established order. The last
time this transit occurred, it preceded the French and American Revolutions.
This transit
taught us to speak our truth and to realize that what we think upon is what we
attract.
Now, Pluto in Capricorn (2009-2023) is the catalyst for breaking down old,
outmoded structures and will assist us in rebuilding and implementing changes
that support a sense of global oneness, love, harmony and respect for all life
on our planet.
Affirmations are a powerful tool to help
us focus on what we wish to create for ourself. May these affirmations assist
you in negotiating these amazing times!
ARIES (March 20-April
19) You are in a better place now to more objectively look back over the past
few months. Try to view your life and experiences from a broader perspective.
Looking at the larger picture, may help you more clearly understand how
everything really does happen for a reason. Let the positive outcomes that have
occurred fuel your faith and trust that all is exactly as it should be.
AFFIRMATION: My life unfolds one day at a time, totally supporting my journey
towards wholeness.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Observe what creates stress or concern for you. What
does not seem to be working quite right for you? What long-held beliefs or ideas
about yourself are being challenged? It is time to shed the skin of the "old"
you. Let go of or revise what does not fit your life now. No need to hold on! As
you let go, you make room for new ideas and experiences to unfold that more
truly support who you are today!
AFFIRMATION: With each breath, I intentionally let go of what no longer serves
me. With each step I move towards a more joyful expression of who I truly am!
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are exactly where you are meant to be! ALLOW
life to unfold. You do not have to "make" it happen. Sit back, relax, take time
for yourself and "watch" your life unfolds. Trust that you are in good hands.
Your spirit guides and
angels are supporting you in your growth process. Life may not be quite like it
was before, but that's ok! Trust that you are evolving deep within and have
faith in your soul's guidance. AFFIRMATION: I allow my mind and thoughts to
rest as I tune in and listen to my inner knowingness. I trust that I am being
guided in line with my highest good.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Feel good about the inner work you have done and
the progress you have made over the past few months. Focus on strengthening the
foundation of healthy self-care you have initiated. Congratulate yourself on the
positive outcomes you are now seeing as a result of your efforts. You are doing
a great job! Quickly shift any thoughts of doubt to the most positive you can
imagine for yourself. Keep up the good work!
AFFIRMATION: I create each day with life-affirming thoughts and feelings. I
love and appreciate myself--all that I do and all that I AM.
LEO (July 23-Aug.22) Let a sense of joy and gratitude permeate all areas
of your life regardless of how "good" or "bad" you perceive them to be. When we
radiate with positivity, it comes back to us magnified. Step into each day on
the most positive note possible and see what unfolds for you! BE the joyous
God/Goddess that you truly are! Let your radiance shine wherever you go and in
all that you do!
AFFIRMATION: I AM Joy! I AM filled with Joy! Joy is all THAT I AM!
VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) As you complete and begin a new year with your
birthday, open your heart to a deeper sense of love and appreciation for
yourself. Honor yourself for the challenges you have negotiated, for your
progress, for your growth! Forget the mistakes, regrets or "should haves." Focus
on experiencing life one day at a time as an empowered God/Goddess. Create what
you want with a positive outlook and a heart filled with self
love.
AFFIRMATION: I love, respect and appreciate myself in all that I do and in all
THAT I AM.
LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.22) Take a little time to review the past year as you
approach your birthday. What is no longer needed? Clean out the closets, garage,
draws or office to move some energy in preparation for the new year that begins
with your birthday. If it doesn't fit--emotionally, mentally, physically,
spiritually--then you don't need it any more. Get rid of it and step forward
without the baggage, ready to begin anew. You have a clean slate before you.
What do you wish to create for yourself?
AFFIRMATION: My positive
thoughts, words and actions create the foundation for the joyful,
abundant, fulfilling life I see unfolding before me. Thank you for my wonderful
life!
SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov.21) You recently received some very clear
indications as to what may not be supporting you in the way you would like. Take
a closer look and consider what steps need to be taken to clean up your act.
Take care of business, one day at a time and keep breathing. No need to be so
serious. Schedule time for enjoying yourself. A little fun might lighten things
up a bit. AFFIRMATION: It is ok to make changes in my life. As I let go of the
old, there is space for new ideas, new experiences and fun!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21) One day at a time, nurture and strengthen
your connection to Spirit. Trust that all things happen when the time is right.
Make plans but be flexible. If things change, remember, it is always for a
reason. Trust that Universal Law is at work. If a situation does not seen
"right" ask the
Higher Forces to work it through in accordance with Universal Law--in
line with the highest good for all. Trust that all is unfolding exactly as and
when it should. AFFIRMATION: I ask that right timing and right action flow
through all my affairs and desires aligning them with Divine Will.
CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) Feel the support and guidance you are receiving
from the Universe. Even though you may have encountered some challenges over the
past few months, be grateful for the insights and deeper understanding that are
being revealed to you. Be in gratitude for all your blessings and for the growth
offered to you by the Universe. You are indeed blessed! AFFIRMATION: I AM
filled with peace, gratitude, love and joy. May it radiate out to touch the
hearts of all those I encounter each day. I AM blessed!
AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.18) Ok, so you have been "through the mill" lately,
but remember, it's all good. With each passing day you may have a better
understanding of what has recently occurred for you and as a result feel a
deeper sense of inner peace.
You are being asked to step more fully into alignment with your true self.
Acknowledge and feel the power of who you are, dear God/Goddess. As we move
through the sign of Libra, you will be ready to more confidently own your power.
Go for it!
AFFIRMATION: I AM a wondrous God/Goddess aligned with Spirit and walking my
path each day in joy and gratitude.
PISCES (Feb.19-March19) What are you focusing on and thinking about? Is
it what you want in your life? If not, get busy and change your focus. Remember
that you are not a victim, but a creator of your circumstances. Quickly shift
any thoughts that are not the most positive. This is a time to be very mindful
of what you think and talk about. Step up to the plate create something really
good.
AFFIRMATION: I have the power to create what I really want in my life. AND, I
only want the very best I can imagine for myself and my world.
