Mon. May 3, 2010. Last night I watched Discovery's "Universe" about black holes (as if I didn't have
enough to worry about). That was the scariest show I've ever seen since "Psycho". Then, the commercials
were just as scary with a shot of Steven Hawking's one eye staring at me. Who in the world thought that
one up? I woke up at 5:30 this morning still scared. It was a much safer world back in Park Hills, KY when,
as a child, I was taught in Sunday School that the world was only 5,000 years old and it was all written
about in the Bible so make sure I read it all. I did; I believed; and now THIS???
All of this scientific, astronomical information makes me wonder if God is evolving and expanding, too?
Sometimes it seems as if God has expanded out of sight and sound. Does anyone hear his voice
anymore like the prophets did?
One of my neighbors hears God's voice and shares it with me. Today's message:
The Holy Bible, New International Version
Proverbs 12:25
"An anxious heart weighs a man down,
but a kind word cheers him up."
Meditation:
Our country is beset in many places: floods in Tennessee, tornadoes in Mississippi and Alabama, and
an oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico threatening fish, wildlife, the fishing industry and the beaches. As if
these problems were not enough, a water main broke in the Boston area and many towns are having to
boil water if , indeed, there is any to boil. People are taking to the streets to protest the illegal
immigration law in Arizona. We are inundated with problems. We could easily succumb to anxiety and
be worn down. However, we know that God is in charge, that He has everything under His control.
Instead of worrying, we must seek His solutions, ask Him to direct our efforts to ease the pain of these
problems. We can decide on a course of action without consulting Him, but our efforts are more
effective when we listen and obey His directions. Yes, there are problems everywhere. The good news
is that God is right here with us in these problems. We have not been abandoned. Look to Him and be
comforted. (These are your kind words for today.)
Joyfully His,

Thank you, Judy.

| I love a clean slate. This morning's Aries New Moon is at 7:29am CDT here on the Emerald Coast. I feel like good times are a'coming and we all get a brand new start on our lives. I want to make the best of it so I'm working on body, mind, and spirit to awaken to new possibilities and awarenesses. I already mentioned my diet starting yesterday at the balsamic lunar phase and the dark of the Moon (which it still is dark until the crescent phase). Well, I made it AND guess what? I had to give up two of my diabetic meds because my sugar stayed under 100 all day. Of course, I went through a starve period and my sugar went down to 77 so I HAD to have a bit of dark chocolate; oh yeah. What was even nicer; I fell asleep right away without a comfort meal like cereal and banana, hot chocolate, or 1/2 peanut butter sandwich. I'm on a roll now! 'Course, I'm up at the crack of dawn today, but I won't eat until 8 or 9 am; another 1 1/2 hour. I'm excited! Interesting that yesterday transiting Venus conjuncted natal Mercury and connected with my grand Earth trine between Ascendant (physical body), Mercury (mind), and Neptune (higher octave of Venus and my guardian angel). Grand trines are gifts from the solar system and I found Fast Track and the motivation to try it. I guess my Venus isn't all bad, lol, especially when my guardian angel gives 'er a nudge. Fri. Apr. 16, 2010. When I took Lily out tonight I saw the crescent Moon in the West/Northwest sky, so I'm announcing it with the Shofar. I'm making my intentions tonight even though the 45º Crescent Phase isn't due until Sunday. |

| Sat. Apr. 17, 2010. It really upset me when I read that a Wisconsin judge called the National Day of Prayer unconstitutional. I may not agree with Rev. Billy Graham that it is "great spiritual awakening" for the capital, with "thousands coming to Jesus Christ.", but I can envision it being a time when all religions and those without a religion lift up our hearts together as one with feelings of good will, gratitude, and peace. Surely that is not unconstitutional even if it is called prayer. I need a day like that; knowing that I'm joining all peoples of this country in intense, emotional, togetherness. We have been apart for too long, y'all. |

Mon. Apr. 19. 2010. I went back to the Disciples of Christ church downtown yesterday. I really like that
church and I think I could have a home there. In my Spirituality and Practice new course, In the Journey of
the Soul in the Teachings of Rumi, the first poem reads:
The one who cheerfully goes alone on a journey-
if he travels with companions
his progress is increased a hundredfold.
And, Jesus, too, said: For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst
of them. Matthew 18:20
It is argued that Jesus was speaking of apostles, not regular followers, but how many apostles are there
today and who are they? http://www.ccel.org/node/5113/28407

Thurs.Apr. 22, 2010. Yesterday Len had his 2nd carpel tunnel operation, but this time his little finger was
broken and scraped in order that it might bend. He'd like to go back to playing his sax, but this finger had
become useless.
Today's aspects by the Moon are very dire; not a good one among them. I think this may be the first time
or two that I've seen that. The explosion in the Gulf of Mexico reflects this fiery, explosive Leo Moon up to
no good. I hope and pray no more of that. I do know that the aspects do NOT cause events; simply reflect
them. As above; so below.
My aspects for Saturday by StarQ are: Apr 24, 2010
Transiting Mercury Conjunct Natal Uranus
FAST AND ORIGINAL THINKING
Weird and unusual thoughts may cross your mind. Brilliant ideas pop into your head. Just think twice
about blurting them out. Others may be shocked or thrown off guard by your comments. Your head's just
not in the same place as the rest of ours. But, this is your chance to make perceptual breakthroughs and
get out of the old mental box. You can learn or just intuitively know new stuff in the flash of an eye.
Discipline and focus may be difficult, so stay flexible and keep your schedule and your thinking as open
as you can.
Since Mercury is Rx (retrograde, or appearing to move backwards in the Zodiac viewed from earth), this is
the second passing of transiting Mercury over my natal Uranus. The first time was April 12th and the last
time will be May 27th. Mercury conjuncts my Uranus every 9 months or so, but doesn't often retrograde
back and forth over it. When that happens, I know that I have a lesson to learn in communication. You see,
I have Mercury conjunct Uranus in my birth chart so, I don't think, talk, or write much like other folks. I tend to
shock people or make them think my comments are inappropriate (I've been told that before).
The lessons have begun already. This morning I received a good one in communication. My son, Lou,
called from Austin, TX and I went to get his father to talk with him, but couldn't find him. When he finally
came in from outside, I said in a loud and demanding voice, "Where were you?"
As Len went to the telephone in his room Lou said, " Mom, it really doesn't matter where he was; he's here
now. You're just stirring things up!"
You know, Lou was right and I recognized it right away. What I said was inappropriate and did stir things
up with Len. He gave me holy hell afterwards. All I could say was, "I'm sorry." Gad, this world is hard!

| Gibbous Moon Sat. Apr. 24, 2010. Keywords: Adjust, edit, & reapply. |
| Gibbous is pronounced like the g in give. I think that's called a "soft" g, no? I always pronounced it hard like the g in giblet; not gimlet, the drink. English really is a hard language; not sensible like Spanish. The sabbath devotionals are up and out. Mon. Apr. 26, 2010. I just read what Steven Hawkins said about aliens being most probable and warriors looking for lands to conquer. Yikes, I had always pictured aliens as more evolved than we are and probably the ones who Ezekiel saw; the Pleiadians who seeded the earth. Well, so much for that! We have enough problems here on earth without more warriors looking to rape and pillage. I could have watched the Discovery Channel and Steven Hawkins last night; it was an option, but I chose to watch Housewives and Brothers and Sisters instead. Housewives has become boring, but Brothers and Sisters still has some good life in it. I'll have more chances to watch Hawkins and be scared out of my wits another time. Today is bridge day downtown. I'll post the full Moon in Scorpio tomorrow, the night before as it will be the most beautiful and powerful since it falls in the daylight here in the U.S. It is also the most holy full Moon of the year and many prayers are answered and blessings given to the faithful. God bless America. |
| Scorpio Full Moon and Wesak Wed. Apr. 28, 2010. Keywords: signed, sealed, already done. |
This morning I woke up and had gained all the weight I had lost during my two weeks of dieting. This is why
I hate diets and trying to lose weight. I know, I know; it's just water, but I still hate it. Well, now that the Moon
is decreasing in light, maybe I can lose it quickly. I don't like to be so consumed with dieting (is that a
pun?) but I am; that's all.
Too, I didn't wake up in time for the exact full Moon at 7:18 am. So, I'm a bit late with my Wesak prayers.
"...Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me."
On a more uplifting note; last night was my first Bible Study group at DOC church downtown. I really
enjoyed it. It's an old course from 2000 called Jesus the One and Only. Beth Moore is amazing.
Today has been my day from Hell. It started off being late for Wesak prayers and gaining three pounds.
Then, I left to meet my girlfriend for lunch and went to the wrong restaurant. I waited for 15 minutes thinking
she was late and then realized I was at the wrong restaurant.
Then I went to get a massage and forgot the time;I went 1/2 hour late and missed it. I'm going to bed. ZZZZ

| Disseminating Moon Sat. May 1, 2010. Keywords: enthusiasm, response, sharing |
| I'm sitting here, shaking my head and smiling (not quite lol) at the state I was in Wednesday. I haven't had a meltdown like that in quite a long time. It was good for me to see how the other half lives once in a while; I mean the other half who are anxious, worried, and upset. I had grown hard in heart at their whining and suffering over insignificant happenings. Here I am; always so cool, collected, and serene. Yeah, sure! Serves me right for thinking so. Confíteor Deo omnipoténti et vobis, fratres, quia peccávi nimis cogitatióne, verbo, ópere et omissióne: mea culpa, mea culpa, mea máxima culpa. Here's what that means in English: I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have sinned greatly in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. I've still got a lot of Catholic in me somewhere. I feel better now. |
| How Long, Lord? On May 2, 2010 I asked this question as I was writing up the aspect of the day which was Saturn Rx inconjunct Neptune. Saturn rules time and Neptune rules the seas and oil, so this was a fair question. Then I realized that this was only the second time Saturn had made this 150º aspect with Neptune and, during the same time, was in opposition to Uranus, who rules technology and disasters. Saturn's first opposition to Uranus was November 4, 2008 when Uranus was retrograde. The second opposition with retrograde Uranus was September 15, 2009 after Saturn had made his first inconjunct with retrograde Neptune two days before. The third opposition to Uranus was April 28, 2010 and inconjunct Neptune, four days later on May 2, 2010. Saturn is retrograde, but the outer two are not. Saturn also rules mines and we have seen terrible mine disasters during this time, also. Now, we must look for the next period of Saturn opposition Uranus and inconjunct Neptune to find out how long this could last. Saturn goes direct on May 30, 2010 at 27º Virgo 50'. Uranus entered Aries two days before that on the 28th. In the meantime, Jupiter is conjuncting Uranus at 0º Aries 17' on June 8, 2010. This could add more fire to the fuel or be the beginning of salvation. Saturn inconjuncts Neptune at 28º Virgo 30' on June 28, 2010, two days after the full Moon of Capricorn which is the first lunar eclipse of 2010. Next Saturn enters Libra again on July 22, 2010 and opposes Uranus at 0º Aries/Libra 25' the day after the full Moon in Aquarius on July 26, 2010 That is the end of the Saturn opposition Uranus and inconjunct Neptune cycle. But, in the meantime, Jupiter will go back and forth over the conjunction with Uranus until January 2011. What Saturn has wrought, Jupiter can bring new technologies, new philosophies, and group endeavors. This is a sad time, particularly for our wild life. The effects of this disaster will last a long time. We must join our hearts and minds, pray together, and work together to see that this never happens again. God bless the Gulf of Mexico, the wild life, and all who suffer from this terrible event. |
| Last Quarter Moon Thurs. May 6, 2010. Keywords: Release, let go, be grateful. |
| This is one lunar month I'll be glad to let go of. They're getting ready to put that gigantic tower down into the oil leak. May God guide them to get it right. Our beautiful Gulf is suffering; what a terrible shame for our country. Fri. May 7, 2010. I keep reading the news about that four-story tower lowering down to the oil rig spill to try to contain it. I just read that it will be operational by next week, if all goes well. Now it is all in God's hands. Of course it always was, but that's my way of releasing, letting go, and being grateful ahead of time. No negative thinking here, please. I am reading the most terrific book that was reviewed on Intuitive Connections. It's called, "The Law of Attention," by Edward Salim Michael. I am awed by his writing and read the first five chapters without stopping. Now, I am reading one chapter a morning to digest the wonderful knowledge of this delightful sage. I just put a blurb on my FB page. FB = Facebook, dudes and dudesses. Sun. May 9, 2010. It's Mother's Day and also my own mother's birthday. She's very much on my mind today. We were not friends, my mom and me. She had an Aries Moon and my Saturn sat right on it. One time she told me she felt like I was her mother. She had a terrible life, if only in her own mind and making. I believe that she was bi-polar, but they didn't know anything about that in those days. They barely knew anything about it in my day. I was diagnosed with it when I was 32 and Lithium was not even passed by the AMA then. When I started studying Astrology, I wondered about the bible verse that talked about "cursed to the 4th and 5th generation." My mother, my grandmother, great grandmother, me, and my daughter were all cursed with depression. Ye gods, how did I get on this subject. God bless my mother, wherever she may be, and may she be cured of her terrible unhappiness. |
