August 20, 2008 Disseminating Phase of the Moon Keywords: Sharing, distributing.
Ah, I love a fresh page! It's almost like a new start; like a Monday morning. So, what were my intentions?
Here's what I wrote in my journal on August 1, 2008:
A new beginning for me; taking care of my physical body; adjusting my attitudes towards daily routine and
creating a transformation in my life; body, mind, and soul.
So, how'd it go? You can see my struggles on page 1 of this journal. I do not like trying to change myself. I
don't want to beat myself up about this, but it is very hard for me to follow a plan, diet, or goal of any kind;
even those I make for myself. Perhaps that is what is meant by Taurus stubbornness? My Mercury is in
Taurus, too, so my neural ruts are deeper than most.
Anyways, this is the last time this year that I'm devoting any whole month to changing myself. Fooey, pooey
to that!
MY NEXT STEP IS: "...get myself up, wipe myself off, and get back in the race! That's life..."
August 21, 2118: Right now there is a huge grand fire trine in the sky; it's hitting many points in my chart at
28 degrees; Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Pluto. Here I sit waiting for blessings to pour on me. LOL....Well I received
two already from the Dalai Lama and Renita Weems and what they wrote for today on BeliefNet.

I love the fact that the Dalai Lama says, "...it is clear that we humans who live on this earth face the task of
making a happy life for ourselves. Therefore, it is important to discover what will bring about the greatest
degree of happiness."
Being a 5th House Sun, I understand that completely! Then, Renita Weems talks about how difficult
marriage and intimacy can be. Being married 50 years, I understand THAT completely!
Two beautiful blessings in one day. Thank you, Lord!

P.S. Before I read my feeds for the day on BeliefNet, I received this cartoon in the e-mail. Remember on
page 1 of this journal (August 18th entry) when I bemoaned the fact that I may be in the state of indifference?
How about this:

Friday; August 22, 2008: Well, here it is the first day of Virgo! The Sun enters the Sign of Virgo today just
after lunch at 1:03 pm CDT. I usually get my page done the night before and this morning I searched many of
my favorite sites and no mention, yet, of the Virgo Ingress today. I guess it's too early?
The children dears have started school already and when we go out driving, we have the school traffic as well
as the tourists. When I was a kid, school started after Labor day and ended the Friday before Memorial day.
Sometimes that meant that we got out a whole week earlier. We also celebrated the holidays ON the days;
not the Monday before or after. Talk about making life confusing...! No wonder nobody knows if they're
coming or going!
Today is a waiting day; waiting to see if Hurricane Fay is going to rain us out or veer north and give Georgia
or Alabama some much needed rain. We're caught up in rain, here. Gad, poor Northeastern part of Florida;
some parts had 30 inches of rain, they say. Whatever we need done, we better get done today.
Saturday; August 23, 2008; 11:30 am CDT: Waiting...
Sunday; August 24, 2008; 8:30 am CDT: Fay has passed. The Sun is shining, no wind, no rain, all is well.
Sometimes I wonder what all the fuss is about, although I was fussy, too, this time. It looked so ominous.
Monday; August 25, 2008; 11:40 am CDT: Mondays are always time to begin anew, no matter what the
lunar cycle is. Every Monday is like a new start; at school, work, diets, and any type of self-help. I guess we
got on that program when we started school as a child and the program hasn't changed.
I still feel, too, that September is the beginning of the year; chalk that up to school's opening indoctrination as
a child. When the leaves begin to fall, the year is beginning. And, I always associate Virgo with schools, work,
diets, and Fall; even though Autumn doesn't officially begin until the Autumnal equinox around the 21st of
September at 0 degrees of Libra. As Saint Augustine said, "Give me a child until the age of 7 and I'll return to
you the adult." I think he said boy and man, but it really goes for girls and women, too.

| Balsamic Lunar Phase of the Moon |
Wednesday August 27, 2008: Here we are at the last Phase of this Lunar month. This morning I woke up
to the news that Gustav, another hurricane, has entered the Gulf of Mexico. Now, THAT is not balsamic!
Wednesdays are usually my busiest days and today is no exception; 2 appointments and a book return at the
post office.
Did you ever get books that you didn't order? There's a little, nasty company that has many complaints
against it that sends hard cover books that one has never ordered along with a hefty bill. It's called Bottom
Line Books and located in Iowa. Check 'em out on Google!
