GEMINI New Moon Journal

Here we are at the new Moon in Gemini. Today the family that are close by will be coming for dinner after
church. It's another rainy day here in Florida.  Last year at this time we were 22 inches behind in rain; this
year I bet we're 22 inches ahead. I know I'm getting old when I talk about the weather.

I have a couple of days before I make my wishes and intentions for this new Moon. It takes that long to
formulate.  I was just thinking of the song, No Moon at ALL.  That is the new Moon after all.
BACK to Gibbous Moon
Mon. May 25, 2009. If I were a working woman, I'd be off today.  It's Memorial Day. Time to remember all
of our veterans.  Tonight, after the Sun sets, we may see a sliver of the new Moon which is still in the Sign
of Gemini, but won't be in the middle of Gemini constellation until tomorrow night.  Below are my Sunset
and End civil twilight time for tonight.  To get yours, go HERE.
Sunset                     7:40 p.m.                 
End civil twilight      8:07 p.m.                 

Don't forget to make your new Moon intentions and wishes. Unite your inner feelings with your central
purpose says Barbara Hand Clow.

I want to move to a neighborhood that is friendly to dogs, has a walking path, where I'll feel comfortable and
won't be expected to work like I did when I was 25 and feel guilty because I can't.  I want to live with people
like myself who think progressively and accept others for who and what they are.  I want to be able to
discuss politics and religion with open minded people who may disagree with me, but allow me to express
my views without lecturing or preaching to me.  I want to be by public transportation so I don't have to drive
if I don't want to.

I may add to this from time to time.  This is my wishing on a star.  I don't want to live here anymore.
Tues. May 26, 2009.  Although some of us may be able to see the Crescent Moon, formally it doesn't
become so until tomorrow.  So, I still have time to adjust my intentions.

I have been so "down" the past couple of days; wanting to move, very unhappy with this neighborhood.
Since I want to be honest in this journal, I may as well say what's been bothering me.

A few weeks ago I took my dog, Lily, for a walk.  I had been not feeling well for about two months and had
not walked her for that long.

Actually, Lily goes outside to do "her business" a number of times a day unless it is raining.  I take her for a
walk, selfishly, because I'm diabetic and need the exercise. However, I let her prance over people's lawns
and occasionally she'll squat.  I didn't think that would make anyone upset, but on this particular day a
woman comes yelling outside her house and complaining that because of my dog, she would have to
spend $1000. to get her yard back in shape.  She was ranting and raving about how every dog in the
neighborhood is attracted to her yard because of my dog.  Geeze, I hadn't even been there for two months.

I have to say that it really upset me and I started thinking about other people in this neighborhood and their
feelings about my dog.  I remembered that one guy on the corner started putting his sprinkling system on at
the time of my daily walk.  Who waters their lawn at 5 pm?  Duh, Sue!  I also remember neighbors looking
at me rather strangely and being cold towards me as Lily pranced over their grass and sometimes rolled in
it.  Ye gods, I didn't get it!   I always carried a poop bag and always cleaned up after Lily so I couldn't see
their problem.  Now I do.  So, I haven't walked my dog for the past few weeks. I'm just not one who can say,
"To Hell with them!"  I could walk by myself, I guess, or I could drive to the school and walk around the
wooded area with Lily.  But, that's not my point.

On to other news: WASHINGTON (May 26) — President Barack Obama chose federal appeals judge
Sonia Sotomayor to become the nation's first Hispanic Supreme Court justice on Tuesday, praising her
as "an inspiring woman" with both the intellect and compassion to interpret the Constitution wisely.

Later on today.  I just finished working on a birth chart and as I reviewed the e-mail, I saw that I wrote:

When you are upset by someone and/or their beliefs, send BLESSINGS to them and forget it.  It is up to
us to seek the best energy of all the planets.  It takes intention, will, and focus. To know is the first step.

I didn't realize that I was so smart! I should listen to myself more.

Still later on.  I took Lily about a half mile down our street to the fenced end of our municipal golf course by
the tennis courts.  I parked the car and walked Lily through the grass, behind the tennis courts and down the
sidewalk until we both were out of breath. Before I had looked at those sidewalks and thought, "how
dumb!" Who's going to walk down a sidewalk for a mile or so from nowhere to nowhere? I now have the
answer to that one; ME 'n LILY!  It makes a perfect dog walk; a very wide sidewalk with grass on either
side, a long fence along the golf course, a busy street where aggressive dogs are not going to be roaming
and terrorizing, and no sprinkling system. We had a wonderful time!  The breeze comes right off the wide
spaces of the golf course and NO BUGS.  S'cuse my capital letters; I'm not hollering; just emphasizing. I
send my neighbors BLESSINGS and a little Dylan-style verse:
May your grass always be greener
without those yellow leaves,
but if yellow stays, you gotta know
a squirrel also pees!

Lily's at the groomers this morning. I felt really good last night and she perked up a lot after her walk.  
We both need it so much.

Thurs. May 28, 2009.  I finally got the calendar from Souledout.org for the Gemini Goodwill Festival
beginning at the Gemini new Moon on the 24th.  If you feel inclined, click on each day for the special
readings; they are very inspiring.  
First Quarter Moon

Since the First Quarter Moon isn't until tonight at 10:22 pm CDT, I have some hours left in the Crescent
Phase of the Gemini new Moon.  I said above that I wanted to move; I didn't like this neighborhood
anymore.  Now isn't that a CROCK!  What a baby!  One of the things Uranus in the 4th House means
is that I create catastrophies and then run away when I can't control them.  Well, I see that now and I
have moved.  I have moved  by finding a place to take my dog and leave my neighbors alone as they
wish with no hard feelings on my part.  Good lesson; how to move without running away
