Scorpio New Moon Journal 2009

Monday morning; so good to me! Especially THIS Monday morning; it's my daughter's birthday and I'm
joyful. I wish you a wonderful day, year, decade, and life my darling daughter!

Today I have to go back to the doctor's office to see if they can get any blood out of my veins which they say
are like cement since chemo. I would suggest to everyone to get a port if you have to have chemo. It will
save you lots of pain later. Anyway, the nurses told me to drink lots of water and coffee; to soften the
cement, I guess. Hope I don't go "runny"!

This afternoon is bridge in town.

Tues. Nov. 17, 2009. Hey, guess what? We had an individual game yesterday and I won! Here was my
StarQ forecast for Nov 16, 2009:

Transiting Venus Opposed Natal Uranus

SURPRISES IN PARTNERSHIPS
If you've thought of taking up an artistic hobby, now is the time to do so. You may be more high-strung
and impatient than usual, so don't be surprised if you have a lovers' quarrel or a misunderstanding with a
friend. Just be certain you do not lose your temper at the workplace. Your employers might not be as
understanding or forgiving as friends and family. Try to take a deep breath, and think before you speak or
act.

The surprise was that there were NO partnerships.

Thurs. Nov. 19, 2009. Here we are; another week almost over. My how the time flies when you're having
fun or when you're in your 70's. I'm at both places.

It's time to make my intentions for this New Moon in Scorpio. Scorpio at her best is deeply emotional,
secretive, the psychotherapist, the one who empathises because she, too, has experienced "the dark
night."

Scorpio is the occultist and the alchemist, the one who transforms; the phoenix of the ancients even as the
eagle and the dove of modern spirituality.

My intention for this Scorpio New Moon is to be the best that I can be; to bring the inside out, and transform.
May I fulfill my promise.

Crescent Phase of the Scorpio New Moon
Fri. Nov. 20, 2009. Keywords: Intentions, wishes, hopes.

Whoops, I got a little ahead of myself there with the intentions. I have to go outside tonight to view the
crescent moon and make my intentions then.

All of a sudden, I'm reminded of a story. Back in 1970 we had just completed our Summer Home in
Minocqua, WI. My husband, Len made a huge Phoenix or Thunderbird for the outside wall where one
drives in. We called the place, Phoenix, because my favorite song at the time was, By the Time I Get to
Phoenix by Glen Campbell.

When we sold the place in 1990, we left the Phoenix behind. I wonder what happened to it. It was quite
controversial back then. The local workers were not too happy with the Indians who had quite a bit of land
and didn't have to adhere to the hunting and fishing laws of the Caucasians.

One day as I was in the kitchen with the window open, I heard a bunch of them chatting with my husband
who had just told them that he was of Italian descent. I guess that mollified them because one guy said,
"we was wonderin' why you had one of them 'bows 'n arrows' symbols on your wall? Glad you ain't one of
them 'bows 'n arrows!"'

That made me so damn mad that I marched out there and said, " No, he isn't, but I am!"

Of course, I'm only 1/16th; my great Grandmother and Grandfather were half Cherokee and Seminole,
respectively. I like the fact that I have Indian blood. It's the most interesting part of me.

Sat. Nov. 21, 2009. Animals, particularly birds, tend to bring me synchronous messages. There was a
time years ago in Illinois that many animals came into my yard to die. I thought it was because they felt
safe there. However, it is happening again and this time, I'm feeling differently about it. Last month it was
a small mouse who took all day to die and yesterday it was a mourning dove who took about three hours.

I have transiting Saturn on my Moon in opposition to natal Saturn and transiting Pluto is squaring from my
12th House. I have been very sad since that bird died. When I first saw her, I was happy; she seemed to
be synchronous to my thoughts about Scorpio and her three main symbols; scorpion, eagle, and dove. I
also think of the Dove as a symbol of the Holy Spirit. My first thought was that the Mourning Dove was a
symbol of the Holy Spirit. I had just made my intentions for the Scorpio New Moon and I imagined that this
was a sign of the Holy Spirit; the dove was so close to my house and my dog was having fits.

However, I soon knew that this bird was sick and dying. It just about broke my heart watching the poor
thing scoot across the yard trying to reach cover in my meditation garden. It took at least three hours. She
died and Len buried her this morning. Now I have three cats, a mouse, and a bird buried out there.

All I hope is that it doesn't mean that the Holy Spirit is dying or dead in me. Ye gods, see how Saturn
works? I need my dream policeman to come back and give me another hug to cure the angst.

Sun. Nov. 22, 2009. My daughter, Carol, gave me a good talking-to about being so negative about the
Holy Spirit dying. Yes, Since I'm having a strong t-square from Pluto to my Moon/Saturn opposition and
Saturn transiting my Moon, death and dying is what I think of first. I must remember that death is not the
end of the story, but the process before rebirth or resurrection.

I had awakened this morning to my dog barking out the sliding glass doors in the dining area. I got up and
saw that outside there was a dead turkey, wrapped in plastic sitting on Len's golf cart waiting to come in
and defrost in my icebox.

I went outside to get it and found a dead frog on my patio!

First Quarter of the Scorpio New Moon
Tues. Nov. 24, 2009. Keywords: Challenges, decisions, action

Today I began my part of the Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday. I made Cranberry sauce and used a
huge orange from my orange tree in the back yard. Then I baked two pumpkin pies and they're cooling
on the front porch.

Tomorrow, I make dressing, waldorf salad, and bake the turkey. When it cools, I slice it and put it in my
large crock pot with all the skin on top so it doesn't dry out. I refrigerate it and reheat it on low,
Thanksgiving Day. On Thursday morning, I'll make the gravy (after refrigerating the turkey juices so the
grease comes to the top to be scraped off), and candied sweet potatoes. Yum, I love Thanksgiving. I've
so much to be thankful for, too. It's the best holiday.

Fri. Nov. 27, 2009. Ah, the day after the feast, but more importantly, my Grandson Joey's birthday. He
was born when November 27th 1986 was on Thanksgiving. His birthday is the easiest of all my
grandchildren to remember. Happy Birthday, Joey!

Today is a lazy day for us...none of that running around on black Friday. Some people are just plain
asking for it; frustration, impatience, and disappointment. That's why it's called "black" or is it bleak?

Gibbous Phase of the Scorpio New Moon
Sat. Nov. 28, 2009. Keywords: adjust, refine, edit.

Another lazy day or a day for studying. Yesterday I took a nap about 2pm and I woke up wide awake
the next morning at 6:15am. I really needed sleep, I guess. I made coffee, and had breakfast, took my
morning pills and started working on my course. I worked about two hours and made some headway.

I was surprised that my husband, Len, was still asleep; he usually makes the coffee in the morning.
Finally as I was finishing up my work for the day, he got up. I noticed the time, 9am, and it was still dark.
It dawned on me that it was nighttime, not morning time. I started laughing and asked him what time he
thought it was. He said, "it's nighttime, but I thought for a moment it was morning." We had a good
laugh. I went back to bed around midnight and slept until real 9am this morning.

Gemini Full Moon '09

Fri. Dec. 4, 2009.
I was just reading The Galactic Times and found out that Mercury conjoined the Galactic Center on
Wednesday. On Wednesday, I got water in my ear and I'm still trying to get it out; crabier than hell!
Let's see, for what could that be a metaphor? I'm half listening, closing my ear, don't want to listen,
water on the ear is next to water on the brain?

As I read over the above, I remember that someone once said that praying was talking to God;
meditation was listening to Him. Hmmmm. I will meditate on this.

Today I finally got to the ear specialist and had my ears unclogged. Thank you, Lord! I've started on
the last course of my doctorate and should finish up the examination after Christmas. I've really
enjoyed these courses and getting back to writing. It's been fun.
Balsamic Moon
Sat. Dec. 12, 2009. Keywords: Release, let go, be grateful.

Tues. Dec.15, 2009. I haven't been doing much with my journal since Thanksgiving. This is not my
most favorite time of the year as it is with most other people. Sometimes I wish that the Grinch really
did steal christmas. It is not a season to be jolly for me. I can become really overwhelmed by duties
at this time. I prefer to be loving giving at various times of the year rather than at one time. Jesus
wasn't really born at the Winter Solstice anyway and it just makes his story more mythical than true. I
can handle myth, just not the commercial buy, buy, buy and bake, bake, bake, and send, send, send
of the times. Bah, humbug! This is my last entry for Scorpio New Moon Journal. Then it's buried with
all the others. Good riddance! I'm releasing, letting go, and very grateful for my life, my family, and
friends. Looking forward to the New Moon in Sagittarius!
