May 17th 2011 the Full Moon shines in Scorpio at 26 degrees.  This is a time to illuminate magic and mystery in your life. How deeply are you connected to others? In what ways are you sharing your resources? Are you deeply feeling things you cannot explain? These are questions to contemplate and take action on in this season of the Scorpio Full Moon. Here we discuss some of May’s planet patterns and how it relates to our personal and professional experiences in Japan this month.

Full moon is a perfect time to explore the mystery of polarity in the zodiac and in our lives. The Sun is naturally positioned in the opposite zodiac sign of the Full Moon each month.  Taurus is earthy and sensual, it relates to personal property and what you really value. Tangible Taurus is everything we can touch, taste, see and smell. By contrast, the sensual Scorpio vibration

Taurus New Moon: Creating Heaven on Earth

“Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons. It is to grow in the open air and eat and sleep with the earth.”

New Moon arrives on May 2nd, a day after “May Day”, and coincides with the Celtic spring feast of Beltane. This Celtic cross-quarter day marks the midway point in the spring season between the Vernal Equinox and the Summer Solstice. Beltane is a fire ritual that focuses on purification and transformation; necessary rites to ensure a prolific harvest later in the Summer season. This is a poignant reminder to prepare (nurture/strengthen) your body for what is to come later this year. Also, a very productive time for gardeners out there to connect with the Earth in new, imaginative ways.

New Moon arrives at 8:51 in the evening in Hawaii, shortly before midnight on the West Coast, and on the 3rd in the Mountain States east to the International Date Line.

Of particular focus this New Moon is the continued presence of very strong Aries energy in the field: cardinal...raw...primal...uncensored...courageous.  Since the Vernal Equinox, this highly

Libra Full Moon: A Question of Balance

"I believe that uncertainty is really my spirit's way of whispering "I'm in flux; I can't decide for you; something is off-balance here". Oprah Winfrey

"The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero, Philosopher (106 BC - 43 BC)

"We pray to God when our foundation is shaking only to discover God is shaking the foundation." Donald Epstein, DC, Wise World Seminars

Pacific Expanse by Joseph Mina

I write this at 35,000 feet flying over the might blue Pacific, en route to Hawaii after a 3 week inner healing journey with Kathryn in eastern Colorado (yes, we were traveling during a Mercury Retrograde, and grace, serendipity and spontaneity were definitely our guides!!!).

As I look out over the seemingly endless expanse of ocean and clouds below, I'm struck by the enormity and beauty of Planet Earth.

From this lofty, serene perspective, I find it hard to fathom an intense societal struggle now rages in various areas of the globe for something new...something different. Yet, the current planetary aspects continue to point distinctly in that direction, creating more and more fuel for evolutionary shift...radical change...passion...and freedom. Can you feel it?

Look back over the past 3 years and reflect how change has impacted your life and those close to you. Does this “look back” fuel a desire for returning to something familiar, tested and seemingly reliable, or add impetus for something new, uncertain, and exciting? Therein lies the polarity of choice now vividly expressed and amplified world-wide.

Aries...first zodiac sign, currently provides the high octane fuel driving this shift. This unusually strong preponderance of raw, cardinal energy, spawned in March, continues unabated through the next Full Moon in May.

Today, the Moon reaches its opposition with the Sun in Aries at 28 degrees at 4:44 pm in Hawaii. Other times for the Full Moon are 7:44 p (PDT) on the US West Coast, 10:44 p, East Coast US and after midnight on the 18th in western South America, east to the International Dateline (2:44 am GMT).

This is last of 3 consecutive super Full Moons for 2011. A super Full Moon occurs when the
