 Greetings!
By now you are likely acclimating to the shifts that we've all been faced with as times change. How this manifests in your life has a lot do with how willing you are to let go of what's complete, over, or redundant in your life in order to step into new territory.
If you are trying to hang on to old, outdated ways/things you will feel the weight of what's no longer working, and I urge you to focus on what you want to create and then be willing to take actions to make those changes.
This New Moon includes the Saturn (traditional/structure) Uranus (unpredictable/ no rules) opposition, which indicates either an adversarial standoff, unexpected curveballs, or the higher expression - moving forward in innovative ways with clear intention. Hold the vision of the life you desire and then invest your energy in yourself! What actions will support you in manifesting your vision and becoming who you came here to be?
Be conscious and be bold! Playing small won't serve you and doesn't work in the new, higher energy we're operating in these days. The energetics don't support diminishing yourself to stay safe and secure. The old idea of "security" doesn't feel as safe anymore (a 401K, real estate, a long-term job, etc.). Real security is the ability to create what you want deliberately.
Because Mercury is still retrograde, the best use of this New Moon is to create a plan, set goals and clear intentions around what you want to create, why, and then feel it! Get organized so that when Mercury goes direct in October, you'll be ready to go! Oh, and clear any clutter that is littering your physical and energetic path. Virgo is the perfect sign for that!
"Until you make something intentional, it will never, ever accidentally happen by accident. You don't have accidental success." ~ Lisa Nichols
With love and light,

New Moon in Virgo ~ Sept 18, '09
11:44 am PDT ~ 2:44 pm EDT
The New Moon in Virgo is on Friday, Sept 18th. The New Moon is the time for new beginnings - to take some kind of action directed toward what you want to increase, create or develop in your life. Virgo rules health, wellness, being of service, productivity, getting things in order (details!), and discernment - deciding what is useful and what is not.
Virgo is an analytical sign and a sign of "doing." What do you need to get busy doing? This is the time to begin, to get organized, make a list and do something to put it into action. Do you need to clear anything from your life - clutter, behaviors and habits that aren't working for you or people who don't support you?
Are you treating your physical, emotional and spiritual self well? What actions can you take to nurture your health and wellness? What have you been putting off that it's time to begin? And for those of you who are always busy, perhaps this is the time to nurture your health and well being by slowing down and taking a break or by building in some comfort.
Virgo is known as a sign of giving, but receiving may not come so easily. Are you a good receiver? Can you take a compliment without inner discomfort? Do you allow others to do for you sometimes without feeling guilty or uncomfortable? Can you fully enjoy receiving a gift? Check in with yourself and if you have a receiving wound, you may want to keep a receiving journal. Whenever someone gives you anything - from a gift, to a compliment, to a helping hand - write down the date, who it was that gifted you, and what you received. It's a wonderful way to anchor in the energy that's so easy to deflect if you have an issue around receiving. And it's a wonderful way to appreciate the many, many blessings in your life.
I urge you to practice being of service to others and to practice being of service to your Self so that you can contribute to the world that which you came here to offer!
"Every farmer knows that you can't sow and reap on the same day. There is a timetable for your harvest that requires both working and waiting. Patience is a small price to pay for what you will receive." ~ Neil Eskelin
"We practice 'self-avoidance' habitually, using busyness as a defense against who we are." ~ Robert Holden
"We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give." ~ Sir Winston Churchill

Creating New Moon Intentions
New Moon in Virgo ~ Sept 18, '09
11:44 am PDT ~ 2:44 pm EDT
New Moon Intentions are a concrete way of naming what you want in your life. Because a spark of the Divine is within you, this is the place from which you create. You have the power to manifest your desires and you get what you focus on, so choose your thoughts wisely!
Some intentions take time to manifest and others will show up quickly. Your New Moon intentions are written statements of what you intend to create in the coming Moon cycle.
Creating Intentions
-
Create your list on the day of the New Moon if possible
-
Review your list from the previous month and check off anything received
-
Delete or replace items that are no longer relevant and file the old list
-
Create your new list and place it on your altar or in a private place
-
Review your list each morning/evening to keep your intentions conscious
How To Create Intentions
-
List at least two and no more than ten intentions, so you don't dilute the energy
-
Start each intention with the words "I create"
-
Only write what you intend to create (you can't create for someone else)
New Moon Abundance Check
-
On the day of the New Moon write a check to yourself
-
Write your name in the section labeled "Pay to the order of"
-
Write "Paid in Full" in both the amount sections
-
Sign the check with the words, "Spiritual Law"
-
Place the check on your altar or put it in a special place and prepare to receive!
"Intentions: I am responsible for what I see. I choose the feelings I experience. I set the goals that I achieve. And everything that seems to happen to me I ask for and receive as I have asked." ~ Malikka Chopra

Mercury Retrograde
Sept 6th @ 9:45 pm PDT / Sept 7th @ 12:45 am EDT ~ Sept 29th, '09
 Mercury, planet of communication, information and eduction will go retrograde from late Sun, Sept 6th PDT and early Mon Sept 7th EDT until Sept 29, 2009. Think about what you created (consciously and unconsciously) beginning around Aug 20th, because you'll be spending the rest of Sept retracing those steps and making adjustments.
During Mercury Retrograde all forms of communication are susceptible to disruption and information that is transmitted in any way (by fax, computer, phone, Blackberry, iPhone, FedEx, Facebook, email newsletters, Twitter, verbally) will be at the mercy of Mercury Retrograde. This can manifest as lost information, miscommunication misunderstandings, contracts that don't stick, lost or delayed mail, equipment malfunctions, and snafus in general.
"A bend in the road is not the end of the road... unless you fail to make the turn." ~ Anonymous
The guidance to prepare for Mercury retrograde is to back up your info, make copies of important documents, sign contacts, send important emails, finalize instructions and if you have planned to begin anything new, take an action before the retrograde goes into effect. And please don't make any major purchases during Mercury Retrograde (especially electronic equipment or appliances), as it's common for something to be wrong with either the item or the transaction. Also, Mercury rules ground transportation so be sure your vehicle is in good working order and double-check travel plans and directions.
Please understand that Mercury Retrograde is not merely an inconvenience in your usual way of operating in daily life. There are astrological energies, Mercury Retrograde being one of them, that are meant to shift your attention away from pursuing new frontiers in the external world to bring you within to focus on contemplating, clearing, planning, rectifying, amending, completing and slowing down long enough to get clear about your intentions - where you're going, what you're doing and how you want to direct your energy.
"Dreams are not made to put us to sleep, but to awaken us." ~ Goemans
During Mercury Retrograde the guidance is to do all the "re" activities - review, revise, redo, revisit, reorganize and work on projects already in process. This is the time to complete anything you've left undone and a good time to look for lost or misplaced information or objects, as things often turn up during Mercury retrograde. This is a wonderful energy for reviewing your goals, acknowledging your accomplishments and for meditation, reflection and introspection. What are your dreams and your visions for your life?
"A dreamer, you know, is a mind that looks over the edges of things." ~ Mary O'Hara
If you need to make amends, offer an apology or reconnect with a loved one, friend, acquaintence, or yourself - this is a good time to make those moves. To go from separation to connection, from discord to harmony, from wounding to healing is an uplifting, expansive experience and such a gift!
"When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free." ~ Catherine Ponder
Another fabulous use of this retrograde energy is to get your financial house in order. Review your budget if you have one and if you don't, make one so that you are aware of where your money is coming from and going. Make conscious decisions about how you want to live - do you need to downsize and release material items that are no longer useful in your life? This is a perfect time to lighten your load and release!
"Money - like health, love, happiness, and all forms of success that you want to create for yourself - is the result of living purposefully. It is not a goal unto itself." ~ Unknown
When Mercury Retrograde arrives, use the energy to clear whatever is no longer useful in your life - whether it's physical clutter, old habits or outdated ideas that no longer serve you. Mercury Retrograde can be a blessing imposed by the Universe when you have to slow down, check in with yourself, reprioritize your life and get quiet - so you can get clarity and then go with the flow. Don't fight it and try to swim upstream - rather, focus on being in the flow.
"There are no failures, only unexpected outcomes." ~ Andrea Hess
As the pace slows down, you can use this time to practice flexibility and patience (emphasis on practice). If you find yourself becoming frustrated or overwhelmed, stop, take a breath and remind yourself that all is in Divine Order.
"When the traffic lights are red in New Delhi, they display the word "relax." Every time you come to a red light, instead of sitting grinding your teeth, try seeing it as an opportunity for practice. Connect with the in-going and out-going of the breath. Be one with the breathing." ~ Tenzin Palmo

The Avatar® Course was recommended to me in April by a wise, loving mentor/friend* and because I chose to act on her suggestion after checking into the material, my life and being has changed dramatically for the better! After doing The Avatar® Course I had such fabulous results I knew I had to continue the process.
I have now completed The Avatar® Masters Course and I am a Licensed Avatar Master. I have discovered yet another "tribe" that I totally belong to, teachings and tools that have changed my life, and I am most grateful for the grace that led me here.
What is Avatar®?
Avatar is a nine-day self-empowerment training delivered by Avatar Masters. The Avatar tools are a synergy of exercises, drills, and procedures that when properly understood and used increase your ability to live deliberately. They are remarkably effective and efficient tools for taking control of your life.
If you need to identify and resolve a self-sabotaging belief or behavior, the Avatar tools can help. If you want to create a harmonious relationship, or achieve success, or just reach a pleasant state of joy and contentment, the Avatar tools can help you. They are also effective for removing grief and stress from your life, restoring health, and achieving peace of mind.
Living deliberately means to operate as a creative source-at least within the confines of a certain domain of reality. A creative source acts deliberately out of its own inner determination; it is responsible.
There are many domains of reality, and each contains many levels of creative source. What you can create, control, or change through your own efforts and willpower determines the size of the reality domain in which you can operate as a creative source. Not all creative sources are equal.
The evidence that the Avatar tools are working for you is that certain things that you could not previously create, control, or change through your effort and willpower alone, you now can. In other words, within the reality domain that you are experiencing, you have moved to a higher level of creative source. You have acquired or recovered a greater ability to live deliberately.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will be delivering (facilitating) at the International Avatar® Course in Orlando, FL from Oct 31st - Nov 8th, 2009 along with a wonderful team of Masters. If you are interested in attending or receiving more information, please contact me and I'll be happy to help you.
Here is a link to the free Avatar® eBook, Living Deliberately, by the creator of the program, Harry Palmer.
Mentor, friend, fabulous therapist/teacher/angel, love mentor!
