2015 Beaver Moon: Make Ready For The Big Chill

The holidays are upon us! Autumn is giving way and Winter begins to stir – Nature’s beauty and wonder is all around us!

It also an incredibly busy time of year with very definite deadlines: Thanksgiving, 11/26/15; Hanukkah 12/07-14/15; Yule 12/21/15; Christmas Eve, 12/24/15; Christmas Day, 12/25/15; New Year’s Eve, 12/31/15; New Year’s Day, 01/01/16*. For most of us, holiday deadlines almost always mean the same thing – a great deal of last minute running around in a near panic. Do you have all the ingredients? Are the presents wrapped? Did the invitations go out? Where are all the serving spoons?

And let us not forget the perennial favorite, “Never again! This is the last time! We are not doing this next year!!” (Uh-huh.Yeah. Sure you’re not. Good luck with that.)

11/19/15 Elementary, My Dear Watson!

You’ve been puzzling and the the answer has been eluding you – but not today.

Take a step back; see it from the other side, and remember the wisdom of Occam’s Razor – do NOT overthink it!

The answer has been waiting for you – move forward with your new knowledge

11/18/15 Because It Hurts Too Much Not To. The Lovers

Choices. Choices. Choices.

There are always so many choices; and too few worthwhile.

It is easy to become confused or overwhelmed; not choosing looks better and better but that too, is a choice. And it is the worst of the lot because you have given up your right to choose for yourself, volunteering to do as you are told. Blech!

What is the decision to be made? Lovers Steam

  • Careers changes?
  • Choosing a pet?
  • Buying a home?
  • Accepting a proposal?
  • Cancelling an event?
  • Buying a car?
  • Wanting a new haircut?

The perception of “large” and “small” or “important” and “trivial” are entirely in the eye (and heart) of the decision maker – do not allow ANYONE (yes, this includes YOU!) to diminish your desires or your choices – let your heart be your guide.

This is the day for following your heart and choosing accordingly; you really have no choice as it hurts too much not to follow your passion – it is an anguish you would not soon forget, and frankly, you can do without it.

 Good luck!

11/17/15 A Marvelous Night For A Moondance. The Moon

Moon Steam

The moonlight is silvery-soft and transformative; all things bathed in these beams become beautifully muted. The moon conjures not only beauty but also romance and adventure, and we are happy to float on to that Wonderland.

And of course, you know how dreams are.

Enjoy the dream but remember, it is a dream. It is a bit illusion designed for your pleasure rather than reality for your growth. It is a lovely place to visit but you absolutely may not live here.

11/16/15 An Island Of Excellence In A Sea of Mediocrity. The Hermit

“Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.” Arthur Schopenhauer

Hermit Steam

We spend a great deal of time satisfying the wants and needs of others – friends, family, loved ones, co-workers, bosses – often short-changing ourselves in the process.

NOT TODAY!

Allow yourself the time, space, and peace you need to cultivate your own truth. The Full Moon (and The Holidays!) will be here before you know it – time really flies when you have responsibilities. Stop and consider yourself, your own truth, your own path – if not now, then when? Exactly! Now is the time! This is not selfishness but rather an opportunity to improve yourself from within and better serve yourself (and everyone else by extension).

Now for the scary part; UNPLUG!

In so far as you are able (if you are at work, you will probably be called upon to answer the phone or respond to email), unplug from your various gadgets – no iPad, no phone, no surfing any devices. The outside world will not only distract you, it will drown out your better angels if you allow it.

NOT TODAY!

“God gives talent. Work transforms talent into genius.” Anna Pavlova

11/13-15/15 WEEKEND: Four of Swords, Magician, Six of Swords

4S Steam 639b979a869d28758a4addcd663af97a 6S Steam

Let’s look at the components:

Four of Swords: Well-deserved rest.

Magician: The power is within – know it, learn it, use it.

Six of Swords: Time to move on – exit stage left.

As is so often the case, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Here, we have a helpful weekend reminder; a good time to get some rest, have some fun, and catch up on some chores – don’t overdo any of it.  

Let moderation be your guide.

Enjoy!

11/12/15 Follow The Money! Six of Pentacles

No one enjoys waiting and sometimes we become impatient with procedures. 6P Steam

We are only human, and it is natural to “Want It Right Now!” once decisions have been made – too bad! because that is not usually how things work.

The process must be respected.

The holidays (and depending upon where you live, Winter) are approaching and we all need a bit more money. 

THE GOOD NEWS: Money is out there, available upon request, if you are willing to pursue it.

THE BAD NEWS: You are at the mercy of the process and you will need to embrace that on the front end.

Find a way to be patient and comfortable with the processes at hand – you cannot remake this wheel at this time so do not waste  the precious energy – perhaps a cup of tea.

11/11/15 Chemistry and Magic! Two of Cups

2C steam

Laverne and Shirley. Batman and Robin. Chocolate and Peanut Butter. Lady and The Tramp.

Sometimes, the whole is much greater than the sum of its parts.

Chemistry or magic? It does not matter – when the right two are united, amazing things can happen.

Keep your eye open today; there is an opportunity to create an amazing partnership – friends, lovers, business, ideas, whatever – between two independently good entities (people, ideas, things, whatever).

Do not dismiss your instincts, do not allow yourself to shrink back, and do not let the opportunity slip away.

You made need to draw upon some brave and crazy but you can do it – and it is worth the risk.

GERONIMO!

11/10/15 Call Me Ismael. King of Cups

“There is a wisdom that is woe; but there is a woe that is madness.” Herman Melville, Moby Dick

KC Steam

There are times we find ourselves moved to follow, compelled by feelings and emotions towards ends we are not sure we desire, caught up in a tidal wave of conviction and charisma.

POTUS Barak Obama counted on that tidal wave among young people needing a change; he delivered on his promise of change (to the best of his ability within the structure of our system).

And the same can be said for Nazi Leader Adolph Hitler.

Two very different men. Two very different outcomes. Both King of Cups.

Today is not the day to follow this King; a leader with no followers is just a man taking walk – let this guy walk on without you. Whatever he is up to can pass peacefully if he is on a stroll by himself.

Choose your alliances carefully today.

SAFE TRAVELS!!

With Love and Light to you all, Selene
