VIRGO New Moon Journal 2009
Friday September 18, 2009.  Keywords:                                 New beginnings, fresh start, blank page
What could we be concentrating on during this Virgo new Moon?  We have three days to decide our
intentions and wishes for this month.  Health, diet, nutrition, and study are associated with Virgo and her
ruler Chiron.  Virgo rules secondary, metaphysical, and trade schools and anything associated with "para,"
meaning to assist, such as paralegal.

If anyone wants to go on a weight loss diet, now is the time to eat very healthy until the full Moon in Aries
and then, GO DIET!  Do not try to lose anything at a new Moon.  The Moon is increasing in light so it is time
to gain something.  When the Moon is decreasing in light (waning) that is when we can decrease the best.

So, study, read, meditate, pray, decide, intend, visualize and eat healthy in preparation for the next two
weeks. That's what I'm going to do.  BIG salads!

Tues. Sept. 22, 2009.  Crescent Lunar Phase and Autumnal Equinox (Sun enters Libra)

So, today we have two big events happening; Sun enters 0º Libra 00' 00"  and the crescent phase of the
Virgo New Moon.  
The keywords: Intentions, wishes, and hopes. It is time to make our intentions for
the next month. I would like to gain wisdom this month and with the wisdom, peace.

Thurs. Sept. 24, 2009.  I found out a couple of days ago that I am going to be a great grandmother.  My
beautiful Melissa is pregnant and in her first year of nursing school. She is due March 25th according to the
doctor.  The only reason I can write about it is that she put the baby's sonar picture on Facebook.  She
seems very happy and I am happy for her, if not a bit concerned. Most woman have no idea of what
motherhood consists; well, at least I didn't.

Sat. Sept. 26, 2009.  First Quarter Moon.  Keywords: Challenges, decisions, action.

Mon. Sept. 28, 2009.  I've sure had some challenges this weekend and my action was to write e-mails,
make strawberry jam and hot pepper jelly this weekend.  Today is my bridge day and I'm looking forward to
getting out of the kitchen today after already frying fish and feeding the animals.  Today is the first day of my
Ram Das course on
SPIRITUALITY AND PRACTICE.  I'm going to love it.

Wed. Sept. 30, 2009. Gibbous Moon.     Keywords:  adjust, refine, edit.

I am enjoying the Ram Das course.  Since his book, Be Here Now, was one of my reintroductions to
Spirituality, I resonate with what he says.  My original intentions for this Lunar period was wisdom leading to
peace. That is rather generic; my prayer is usually,
"Help me to know what is and what is not."  I guess
that's a plea for knowing 'reality'.  But, what in the world is really
real?  I will adjust my intention to a more
simple statement;
may I love beyond judgment until I feel no judgment.

Fri. Oct. 02, 2009.  Goodness, October is liable to get away from me before I know it.  I received my 2nd
and 3rd courses towards my doctorate.  After this, only four more and I'm ready for my dissertation.  Better
not count my chickens; I'm just arranging them, ok? Capricorn rising finds success in making lists.  Almost
every time something on my list is not done, but that's not the point; arranging is.  I know that God laughs at
my plans sometime, but I don't mind.  I think I'm funny, too!

Sun. Oct. 04, 2009.  Aries Full Moon.  Keywords:  signed, sealed, and stamped.

I missed looking at the Aries Full Moon last night.  I got involved in McLeod's Daughters on Netflix DVD until
I was so sleepy that I fell into bed. Tsk, tsk.  No dinner with kids today; everyone has other plans except Dad
and me.

Mon. Oct. 05, 2009.  This morning our cat, Blackie, was acting strange and I felt that he had another lump
on his spine.  He was operated on August 14th for cancer of the spine.  We are taking him back to the vets
tomorrow and if the Doctor feels like it is the cancer returning, we will have Blackie put to sleep.  It is a very
sad time for Len and me. We've had that cat since we moved here and he is such a good cat; 15 years with
us.  First we lost Hobbes, then Carol lost Boy a week ago; now Blackie.

Tues. Oct. 06, 2009.  This morning I took Blackie to the vets and with tears I watched the Doctor put him to
sleep.  As I watched the light go out of his eyes, I couldn't help but feel the soul of that beautiful cat.  Carol's
cat, Boy, was put to sleep last week.  For a few years, Boy and Blackie were raised together.  I can't help
but picture them together with "Sissie" who died a few years ago. God's love Blackie; I hope you're home
with them.

Wed. Oct. 07, 2009. Disseminating Moon.  Keywords:  teaching, sharing, enthusiasm.

This morning we buried Blackie next to Hobbes in the back yard.  It's been a rather sad and slow day, but
much harder on Len; he was so attached to that cat.  I wish I could help him get over this, but it takes time.

Sun. Oct. 11, 2009.  Last Quarter Moon.  Keywords:  Accept, forgive, and let go.

Mon. Oct. 12, 2009.  "Monday, Monday, can't trust that day..."   Today is my day to have bridge club this
month.  One of my ladies fell and maybe broke her foot.  I got the call at 7:45 this Monday morning. I tell y'a,
when you get in the 70's you have to watch every step you take.

This whole weekend I played bridge at the sectional downtown.  Didn't do a thing right.  I'm going to have to
take lessons again.  I've played that dang game for 54 years; every system going from Auction, Goren,
Party, Chicago Duplicate, Standard American, 2 over 1, SAYC yellow card to DKDT (don't know a darn
thing). I've lost confidence and that's not good.  Anyway, I had fun; people there are easy; not so up tight as
some places.  So, I do
accept that I'm not so good, forgive myself, and let it go!  

Wed. Oct. 14, 2009.  Balsamic Moon.  Keywords:  surrender, rest, recuperate.

Fri. Oct. 17, 2009.  Here we are at the end of another Lunar cycle and I'm ready for the new Moon in Libra
to occur tonight just after midnight.  I don't know if I can stay awake for it, but I'll try; the Pleiades will be out
even if the Moon won't

I've sent in my second and third course examinations for my doctorate.  This is such a fascinating
curriculum; I'm really enjoying myself. Ever onward and outward.
