Saturday; October 25, 2008. Speaking of Kelly Lee Phipps, he wrote an article about New and Full
Moons on his website and it brought something to my attention that in all my years in astrology, I did not
know. I want to get this right so I'll quote him:
The actual flowering of the New Moon occurs 6 months later when the sun has reached the
opposite side of the chart and the Full Moon falls in the same house as the New Moon did.
Now, isn't THAT a dilly? He is just amazing. Read his article THE NEW MOON. Read all his articles; he's
really a brilliant man.
I started this journal at the New Moon in Cancer, so my full Moon in Cancer will be January 11, 2009. My
intention at the New moon in Cancer was for my husband:
I intend and wish for my husband, Len, a cessation of pain. May he live out his last years in love, light, joy, and peace.
It looks like that intention is working well; he's getting better and in much better spirits. Yea, intentions!

Ever since I visited Oak Creek Canyon in 1992 and 1993, I've wanted to live by a creek; not just by a creek;
on a creek. After seeing this picture in an e-mail this morning, I have those old yearnings again. I need more
color in my life.
When in the disseminating phase of the Moon one is supposed to share and proclaim what one has learned
over the past two weeks; not whine about what one wants! What did I learn? Hmmmm. I think I forgot.
Saturday; October 18, 2008. Ah, wanting! Once upon a time I wanted to live by the ocean and, then, for
six years I did. For the last three of them I almost never noticed the ocean. Same thing happened when we
had a Summer home on a lake; old hat within four years. I've learned to curb my desires and see myself for
what I am; a spoiled brat!
I'm very careful what I wish for now. Most of the time I turn the wishes into grateful memories; like Oak Creek
Canyon, living by the ocean's water or on a lake. I'm fortunate to have such good memories.
Later Saturday afternoon: another thing I remember; when we moved down here from Chicago, I thought
Florida had mostly Spanish style homes. We searched all over this area for a Spanish style home before
we bought a regular American style home. I had always, since a kid, said that I would live in a Spanish style
home before I die. Now, guess where the only Spanish style 'home' is that I know of? Right here, on the left!

That's a red tile roof, ya'll, and without the flag one
would think it was in Spain, no? Well, I've already
lived there twice and I take it back; I don't want to live
in a Spanish style home before I die. It's a great
place to visit, but I'm perfectly happy in my little
American style home. (although I do have a new, red
roof!).

Monday; October 20, 2008. It's Fall for sure. Today I'm jarring my first batch of Savina Pepper Jelly.
We grow the Savinas (a red hot take-off from the orange Habañera pepper). It has a flavor all its own
and once you've eaten it, you like it better than any other hot pepper. I find myself craving it. I make all
my peanut butter and jelly samiches with it. Yeah, I still eat peanut butter and jelly! Len likes it with toast
and butter. It's good instead of mint jelly with lamb, too.
Len jars a great hot pepper relish that's from his mother's recipe. Savinas are about the only thing we
can get to grow in our garden. We're just too close to the ocean, I guess. This area used to be all forest
and is so sandy and acid, tomatoes won't even grow well here.

Sometimes this is the hardest time of the Lunar cycle. When you've been working and pushing ahead for
the past three weeks and then you have to relax and let go? Well, remember we're not building a complete
lifetime; we're building a month. These are just small steps which, eventually, turn into a great journey when
the months become years and the years become decades. Creating purposeful living along with the various
cycles in the Solar System connects us to something beyond and greater than ourselves. It makes us aware
that there is value in living a symbolic life; a life of connection, evolution, and return.
Thursday; October 23, 2008. Every morning I like to read something inspirational. This morning I read
ASTROLOGY AND THE BIBLE by Kelly Lee Phipps. Wow, that man can write! It makes me want to get
out my bible and read it all over again and to thank God, again, for the language of the "Heavens" which
continues to the end of the earth.
