I don't know who wishes to answer this, but when a monthly or daily astrological reading is made, is it for only those under that sign or something we each can take away from it? I mean, for instance here, Lilirish creates these great reports, but should I read it the same for me as say Angel Lady would read it for herself...assuming we were born under different signs? If it is that we should each come away with something different, how do I know what is for me?

First off, has anyone heard from Angel Lady? My last post got me to thinking and I was wondering how she is doing?

Autumn how is your child doing? Is she better?

Lilirish, how is your strapping young lad (Billy???correct??? Hhow is his speech coming? Last I new, he was starting to make some progress. Am I right? Oh and how was that move you were making? That is done, right? Or is that coming up here? Or am I all mixed up?

Earman-How are you doing??

Sorry, I just don't get here often enough to keep up.

Autumn, one othe question. Is the sabbat (?) the only primary significant day in the summer months?

Oh, all please pray for my friend Rusty. He lost his father recently. Rusty is a very close friend. His father was kind of iconic in the Madison area. The funeral was huge. There were 1 1/2 hour waits in line for the visitation. Rusty, saw me from a distance when I came in getting in line. He signaled me out of line and told me to come up and told me I did not have to wait in line because he knew I was strapped for time. Do you believe that, here he is with all of the stuff going on with him and he was worried about me. Unbelievable.

** All about Cancer

According to most Sun-sign guides, Cancers are famous for one thing: their love of home and family. In fact, they're often portrayed as being fond of nothing else. That, however, is an extremely nearsighted description. While it's true that Cancers have an innate loyalty toward their roots, especially toward the people and places who shape their memories, there's a lot more to them than just where they've come from. They're also concerned with where they're going, and with finding the safest way to get there. So when dear ones are involved, a Cancer will spare nothing to ensure that they're not exposed to any danger on any level. They can even be a bit too protective at times, so much so that they need to be careful of a tendency to be an 'enabler.'

The one trait that's not usually mentioned under Cancer's list of qualities, however, is the one that's the most important to them: privacy. Their symbol is the crab, after all, which is so fond of privacy that she carries a shell on her back to retreat into at any time.

When it comes to relationships, there's absolutely nothing Cancers won't do for a loved one -- absolutely nothing. They're capable of very deep feelings and, in romantic relationships, that can often mean they're easy prey, so they need to be careful in matters of the heart.

As parents, they offer an endless supply of nurturing -- even if it's aimed toward animals, plants or other people's kids. They have a knack for taking good care of anyone or anything that needs them. Cancers make the world a better, kinder place!

** Your Starcast for June 20 to July 21

The Sun's entrance into sensitive Cancer on June 20 marks the Summer Solstice. Then, two days later, the new Moon in Cancer on June 22 begins a new cycle in this sign of home and family. On June 23, the Sun opposes Pluto when it is time to make sure you have a good balance between your personal family themes and your worldly and career concerns. Expect the unexpected and be super flexible when Uranus turns retrograde on July 1! And, keep in mind that with Mercury's entrance into homebody Cancer on July 3, communication is fused with a lot of emotion. The love planet Venus enters chatty Gemini on July 5. This is a great time to meet someone new or to spice up an existing relationship. A full Moon Lunar Eclipse in ambitious Capricorn on July 7 emphasizes your career and worldly activities, while the Jupiter/ Neptune conjunction on July 10 keeps your idealism and optimism in full bloom. There is not an ounce of cynicism in this spiritual pairing! As feisty Mars enters communicative Gemini on July 11, you have everything you need to sell an idea or convince anyone of anything! You'll have plenty of exciting ideas and stimulating conversations as Mercury trines Uranus on July 16. The Communicator enters dramatic Leo on July 17 -- definitely a time for bold ideas. Make sure you break out of old patterns as the Sun trines forward-thinking Uranus on July 18. The Venus square Saturn on July 21 means it is time to assess your most important relationships. Then, July 21 brings a solar eclipse in the last degree of Cancer and casts a huge spotlight on the security, family and home issues that are so important to this sign.

June 20: Sun enters Cancer

The Summer Solstice is marked each year with the entrance of the Sun into this sensitive, protective water sign. Since Cancer is a sign of home and family, thoughts naturally turn to spending time with those you know and love. Why not organize a family picnic or attend a reunion? Can't get together in person? These days technology offers so many ways to stay in contact. This sign is known for its compassion, making this a wonderful time to remember the importance of family, and to count your blessings!

June 22: Mars trine Saturn

You find it easy to organize and harness your capacity for discipline with this hard-working planet combo in a gentle aspect. Mars in determined Taurus and Saturn in health-conscious Virgo give you a big dose of self-control to help you quit bad habits, get on an exercise regime or create a step-by-step plan to achieve your aims. Make sure you utilize everything this aspect has to deliver!

June 22: New Moon in Cancer

A new cycle in emotional Cancer is made even more hypersensitive with powerful Pluto opposing this New Moon. In a sign of home and family, your attention naturally turns to making sure both are safe and secure. In fact, this is a great time for home and family improvement and renovation projects. In general, something needs to be let go or transformed in some way. Nurturing and nourishing are strong impulses now. So, make your favorite comfort food, volunteer at the local soup kitchen or plan a family picnic!

This new Moon will most affect those born June 20-24, September 23-27, December 21-25 and March 20-24.

June 23: Sun opposite Pluto

The Sun opposes Pluto once a year, marking the midway point of the Pluto retrograde period that this year began on April 4. Any opposition is a culmination of forces already set in motion. With the Sun in homebody Cancer, and Pluto in ambitious Capricorn, it's important to assess the balance between your personal family themes with your worldly and career concerns. Pluto's themes of power help you to examine your own powerbase. Often at an opposition aspect, somebody or something in the environment opposes you and urges you to take a good look at the power-sharing in your relationships. Is it time to step up or let go? If you know what houses this opposition straddles in your own chart, apply these themes to those areas of your life.

July 1: Uranus turns retrograde

When eccentric, independent Uranus turns retrograde, it's best to expect the unexpected. This planet symbolizes the need for change, and emphasizes the importance of flexibility. If you invest your energy into trying to keep everything stable, this will be a disruptive time for you. Over the next several months until December 1 when Uranus turns direct, review the areas of your life that need a bit of tweaking. Don't expect to stick to the same routine now. When you think about it, is your life so perfect that it couldn't use a bit of change?

July 3: Mercury enters Cancer

People who have their Mercury in retentive Cancer in the birth chart are known for having a good memory. It may have to do with the sensitivity that accompanies this placement. Expect everybody to be communicating with much more emotion during the length of this transit until July 17. For best results, put your rational, logical mind in hibernation for now and speak from your heart when you can. Because this sign rules family, time spent with them can be especially rewarding now.

July 5: Venus enters Gemini

Venus in this relationship-oriented sign loves to converse, flirt and learn something new. Your desire for new experiences is strong, making this a great time to sign up for a class, join a book club and seek out interesting people who have had out-of-the-ordinary experiences. If you are single, this is a great transit for meeting a new love. Married? Spice up your love life by doing something totally different from your ordinary routine. If you know your chart, look to the house where Venus is transiting for more ideas.

July 7: Lunar eclipse in Capricorn

Last month on June 22, a new Moon in Cancer turned your focus toward your home, family and what you needed to feel secure. Now, at this full Moon lunar eclipse, you have the chance to step back and assess the results of what you set in motion. The ambitious Capricorn full Moon is highlighted because of the eclipse, and now your emotions are re-focused on your career and your worldly concerns. To make the most of this time, do what you can to maintain a healthy balance between the personal and professional areas of your life.

This full Moon will most affect those born July 5-9, October 5-10, January 4-8 and April 3-7.

July 10: Jupiter conjunct Neptune

Last May 27, Jupiter and Neptune formed the first of three conjunctions. Now that Jupiter is retrograde, this expansive planet joins Neptune once again to form the second conjunction. This is an extremely idealistic pairing as Jupiter magnifies the spiritual inclusive nature of Neptune. Whereever this duo is transiting in your own chart is likely to bring a huge dose of optimism and goodwill.

July 11: Mars enters Gemini

Do you need to sell someone on your ideas or point of view? Do you want to launch a project or business? Take the energetic, feisty nature of Mars and place him in the sign of The Communicator and you have the consummate salesperson. The main thing with this placement is to watch that you don't step over the line from trying to convince someone to becoming argumentative and pushy. After all, Mars has the name 'God of War' for a reason! Know when you need to dial it back to make this a winning transit for you. Mars will be in Gemini until August 25.

July 16: Mercury trine Uranus

Mercury's perceptions shine and sparkle in this harmonious contact with electric Uranus. Exciting ideas and stimulating conversations mark this period making this a great time to meet new people or to join groups that cause you to step out of old habits and thinking patterns.

July 17: Mercury enters Leo

When you speak, do people listen? They will now, what with the communication planet entering bold Leo! If you have a plan or project that you want people to know about, use the drama of this transit to give your ideas an audience. Issues of respect surface now in a big way. Everybody has an eagle-eye on how they are being treated. Make the most of this transit by giving the respect to others that you want for yourself.

July 18: Sun trine Uranus

It's time to break out of old ruts and patterns with this exciting combination. Uranus always favors new, exciting, innovative and creative ideas and solutions. Leave the past behind where it belongs and take full advantage of this illuminating transit. You receive plenty of support to move toward your future.

July 21: Venus square Saturn and July 26: Venus trine Jupiter

When the planet of love (Venus) meets the planet of boundaries (Saturn), you get clarity about your relationship situation and what you want -- and don't want. Then lovely Venus in curious Gemini forms a grand trine with enthusiastic Jupiter. This is a great aspect for socializing and for advancing your personal relationships -- and your business connections if your work is in a socially oriented profession. It seems like everybody loves you now, so take advantage of all of this good will.

July 21: Solar eclipse in Cancer

Batten down the hatches! This solar eclipse takes place in the last degree of this sensitive sign, which brings a huge spotlight on the values that matter the most to Cancer. If you know any Cancers, then you know how much home and family mean to them. For everyone now, watch for an increase in the desire for security and to connect with family members. Social obligations go on the back burner and personal needs blip on your radar screen. For now, the rest of the world will take care of itself! As always, when the Moon increases in light between the new Moon and the full Moon, (solar eclipses always occur at a new Moon) you will benefit be putting energy into something you want to make stronger and more important in your life.

Enjoy the Sun's transit through Cancer!

** Astrolesson: Your Moon Sign

Just as you have a Sun sign, you also have a Moon sign. And just like that old saying: The Man in the Moon watches over us, the position of the Moon at the time of your birth and the sign it occupies, has something to say about your own personal 'protector.' What makes you feel the most comfortable? What feels emotionally soothing? The sign tells you the best way you can take care of and protect yourself. Here is an example: If your Moon sign is Gemini, the data collector, then make sure you always have all of the information you need because this will bring you emotional ease. If you feel that people are withholding information, you are likely feel anxious. In fact, anxiety is the symptom whenever a Moon's needs, no matter what the sign, are not being met. Here is another example: If your Moon is in intense Scorpio, then it is important for you to express the depth of your feelings. Throughout your life, always make sure that you have a best friend or mate that understands how strongly you feel about everything. Don't bottle up your feelings or you may find that you also squash your passion! The house placement of the Moon shows where you feel the most comfortable. Is your emotional comfort zone in the Seventh House of relationships? If so, carving a life out as an independent loner is not for you! You will need to make finding and creating a healthy relationship a priority project. If you know your chart, spend time thinking of activities and environments that support your Moon sign placement. You will give yourself the gift of emotional contentment.

Another special sabbat is here and is celebrated on the Summer Solstice. Another great fire festival with wonderful meanings.

I'll have to do an article about this another time because the little one is sick...found out today she has Roseola, which is in the same class as mumps and measles. I believe that she got this reaction from her shots because she got her mumps, measles, chicken pox, and hepaitis shot just last Friday the 5th. And she is not around other children or out in public very much.

Ariel is doing well...her fever is gone and she is finally getting her appitite back. That's motherhood for you I guess.

My Mother, Gina, gave me some very good advice when I was pregnant, she told me about how fevers in babies can pop out of no where and not to panic. Boy, she was right about how incredibly fast a fever can come about. Sponge baths works wonderful to get a fever down. Tylenol works well to for the discomfort.

Oh, and Ariel has now 2 more teeth coming in at once. A week and a half ago she got in 4 teeth at one time. They are coming in so fast. I guess its good in getting it over all at once. Those are some sharp teeth that she has...when I brush her teeth and gums with the rubber finger brush....holy cow! She not only bites but grinds the teeth on my finger....ouch. Pretty soon I'll have to use a tooth brush.

Have Midsuumer to those that celebrate this sabbat. Happy Summer to everyone, enjoy the season.

Blessed Be,

~ Autumn

Please say a prayer and blessing to my girlfriend Delissa in Virginia. She was only 19 weeks pregnant and things went very badly fast. She was taken to the hospital late FRiday night early Saturday morning because my girlfriends liver and kidneys were shutting down. She is in Critical condition. The Doctor said she develpoed what is called HELLP syndrome. The only way to get rid of the HELLP was they had Delissa deliver the baby.

The baby girl named Rissa Jannelle Darren King was delivered at 10:37 p.m. and passed away in Delissa's arms at 11:30 p.m. She weighed only 11 ounces. Doctors had no choice but to deliver the baby to save Delissa's life.

So tonight when you see your children be sure to give them a hug and a kiss, a reminder of how precious life is.

Blessed Be,

~ Autumn

As we see buds and flowers blooming on trees, birds of all colors and sizes taking over the land, and spiders building their amazing webs...The Summer's warmth is upon us now . June's Full Moon is a time for peaceful relaxtion. The feilds have already been turned, seeds sown, flowers opening, the fruits not yet rready to harvest, this natural lull in farming means time for other traditions.

June was and still is a time for weddings and honeymoons-a time to enjoy the fruits of love,romance,and success.
Knowing the crops were thriving, the new mother craddles her healthy child in arms watching in amazement of how surreal this moment is and sees the baby is sleeping peacefully and mother is greatful as well as thankful, time now for some deservedly rest. Summon restful energy to care for yourself, strenghthen your health, and be your best. Gather flowers to beautify home, weave a celebratory wreath, weave love and strength in a protection wreath, and rest and reward yourself with a sip of life's sweetness.

This coming Full Moon, called Strong Sun Moon, will be this Sunday, and will be in the sign of Sagittaruis.

Use this full moon to replinish your strength and energy. With the world seemingly in much chaos...this may be a good time to sit on the side lines and take care of your mind, body and spirit. Time to renew those magick spells for protection, prosperity, positivity...ect. for yourself, home, and other personal belongings. Also relect upon the past and see if this is where you want to be in life and if you are happy, not just content. Make small goals to get you where you want to be. Life is like the element of water..it is forever flowing, running, and rushing so it is ultimately up to you how to navigate the current.

Blessed Be,

~ Autumn

Hope everyone is doing alright and is ready for Memorial Day weekend. I know things are very tight and difficult with the economy and every thing else going on, but sometimes we must put these things aside and enjoy life, enjoy family and friends around us, take in the sounds and smells that make you happy, and enjoy things that really matter. And most importantly stay positive and grounded.

Ariel is doing really well. Next month she will be 1 year old already! She is doing good in physical therapy. She has a therapist that comes in my home 2 times a week, which is part of the Birth to 3 program in Wisconsin, for torticollis, which sometimes happens to breech babies, multipule births, and difficult deliveries when the are scruched up in the womb and can cause injuires to the muscles(causing one side to shorten up). The good thing is with intense physical therpay the damage can be reversed. With torticollis there are developemental delays. She's not crawling yet but we are working on it.

The Birth to 3 program is an excellent state program for physical therapy as well speech therapy. They can bill insurance but with or without insurance they ask for a monthly donation, depending on proof of income, to keep the program going. I highly recommend this program and a Peditrican or other specialist can give a referral to set this up for you.

Hope everyone has a safe and fun Memorial Day and don't forget the meaning of this day...to honor the soliders past and present whom have fought for our freedom and kept us safe.

Happy Mmeorial Day!

** All about Gemini

Gemini is the most lighthearted sign in the zodiac, hands down. The Twins' circle of acquaintances is as varied as their interests, so they see an awful lot of invitations. Of all the reasons we love to have our Gemini pals around, their wit comes first. These folks find humor in absolutely everything, and their ability to say what's on their minds in an extremely entertaining fashion is world-famous and well deserved. These word-wizards and storytellers are able to uncannily impersonate anyone and anything at the drop of a hat. That includes accents, gestures and subtle idiosyncrasies that no one else would ever notice -- but then, if Gemini were a business, its motto would be 'Details-R-Us.'

True to the nature of its ruling planet, Mercury, Gemini is also quite communicative. So during those rare times when these talkative Twins are actually alone and not chatting on the phone, IMing with a friend or answering their voluminous email, they're probably on the phone or the Internet, or poking away at their Blackberries with a vengeance. If not, Geminis will manage to keep those restless minds active by doodling or solving puzzles and word games.

As for the dualities this sign is famous for? They're all true. In reality, there are a lot more than just two sides to the average Gemini, and each facet of this versatile sign has a fascinating story to tell. All that being said, it's easy to see that the one thing they just can't stand is being bored, tied down or isolated. 'Variety is the spice of life' is this sign's very own motto, and Gemini lives every second with that motto in mind.

So if you're a Gemini yourself, you know this all boils down to the fact that you can't stand being in a rut -- especially when it comes to relationships. Your sign has been called fickle more than once, but that's not fair. The Twins are perfectly capable of being faithful, as long as the person they're with is witty and interesting enough to keep them interested. No, it's not an easy task, but it's well worth it. Life with a Gemini is full of constant activity, endless movement and even more fun. And you can bet they won't scatter their affections if they can find someone who'll be willing to at least try to keep up. Gemini, whether you're a friend or a lover, you're one of the main reasons life on this planet can be fun for the rest of us -- so accept our thanks for just being you.

** Your Starcast for May 20 to June 19

It's time to expand your social circle as the Sun enters communicative Gemini on May 20. There is an amazing and interesting world out there -- get involved! A new Moon in Gemini on May 24 emphasizes the importance of stimulating your mind. The cosmos is encouraging you to sign up for a class, just be sure to double-check the dates since Mercury is still retrograde. Jupiter's conjunction with Neptune on May 27 magnifies spiritual and humanitarian yearnings especially with Neptune turning retrograde the following day. Give your idealism full reign for fabulous results. Mercury finally turns direct on May 30 in sensible Taurus, urging you to move forward with those great ideas and plans. Mars' entrance into Taurus on the 31st gives you grounded get-down-to-business energy. You'll get a reality check as the Sun squares Saturn on June 5. Then Venus joins Mercury and Mars in practical Taurus, helping you to get a solid financial plan in place. The full Moon in Sagittarius on June 7 brings a culmination to what you began at the new Moon on May 24. This is a great time to explore new ideas and move beyond the familiar. 'Mercury-Week' commences with Mercury making multiple aspects, which means you'll be busy, busy, busy! First, Mercury sextiles Uranus on June 9, stimulating your mind and giving you plenty of ideas. Then Mercury squares Neptune on June 9 and your imagination is in full bloom, although your logical mind is not as operational. Mercury's square to Jupiter on the 10th brings lots of ideas and multiple conversations. Mercury enters its home sign Gemini on June 13 when it's time to gather information that'll help you down the road. Cast a wide net. When Jupiter turns retrograde on June 15, some of your activities will grind to a halt and you will need to choose where you want to invest your energy. Then, on June 17, the Sun trines Neptune, squares Uranus, and trines Jupiter and your world opens up in beautiful and surprising ways.

May 20: Sun enters Gemini

Gemini is often called 'The Data Collector.' This breezy air sign is curious about everything! Each year, as the Sun transits Gemini, information, news and interesting conversations prompt you to open your mind to new ways of thinking. Air signs are quite social, making this a great time to meet new people and expand your social circle.

May 24: New Moon in Gemini

A new beginning in an information-loaded sign puts you on an educational path. Think of something that will wake up and fire-up your brain synapses. Whether you join a book club, sign up for an Italian cooking class or learn how to make stain-glass windows, don't concern yourself with what is useful! Think instead about what is fun, fulfilling or intellectually enriching. The new Moon is always a time of new beginnings and in this premiere education sign, starting any program of study will yield fabulous results.

This new Moon will most affect those born May 22-26, August 25-29, November 16-20 and February 20-24.

May 27: Jupiter conjunct Neptune

Jupiter takes 12 years to travel through all 12 zodiac signs, one year for each sign, so this conjunction hasn't occurred for quite a while, the last being in Capricorn in December of 1996. This time the conjunction is in independent Aquarius. This is a highly idealistic, future-oriented combo that is likely to bring new inventions, a movement toward a global community and a spiritual blossoming for many. When these two planets meet, they also seem to be a bit flood-prone, so take sensible precautions. This is the first of three conjunctions.

May 28: Neptune turns retrograde

Neptune has been transiting through Aquarius since 1998, a sign that represents the quest for a better life, for freedom, equality, peace and contentment. Because it takes Neptune about 14 years to transit through one sign, this retrograde has been occurring once a year in the same area of your birth chart, giving you the opportunity to review how you invest in your dreams, and how to establish a solid foundation for your life achievements. Aquarius is a sign that rules the group, the community, the larger world. Every time you align your desires with those of others, you move yourself forward and your life opens up. This retrograde period will last until November 4.

May 30: Mercury turns direct

Had enough with the glitches? As Mercury ends its retrograde in earthy Taurus, it's time to incorporate everything you've learned since May 6 when Mercury turned retrograde in curious Gemini. Communication becomes easier and less confusing, and you find it easier to make a decision. Hopefully you used the retrograde time well, conducted a proper review, and become better informed about your options. Sign those contracts, send out your resume or pick up the phone! It's time to communicate all of those great ideas and put your plans in motion!

May 31: Mars enters Taurus

Life settles down a bit as Mars leaves its own sign, fiery Aries, and enters steady Taurus. This is a grounded get-down-to-business placement that can help put you on the path to a materially secure future. Sort through your business and personal expenditures, and use the determination of Taurus to solidify your material world. Mercury turning direct yesterday will help you move forward with everything you have learned over the past three weeks.

June 5: Sun square Saturn

Saturn, when it aspects a planet or the Sun and Moon, is like a parent that gives you a reality check so that you can assess your situation. Your responsibilities are highlighted now and, with this square, you're challenged to weed out superfluous activities and impractical plans and ideas. The Sun's placement in Gemini can indicate that you are being pulled in too many directions and have too many interests. Saturn says: pare them down into something that is useful and practical.

June 6: Venus enters Taurus

Finally this relationship planet enters a new sign for the first time in approximately four months! Because Venus turned retrograde and set-up camp in active, bold Aries for so long, you may feel a bit disoriented as Venus enters her home sign, Taurus. Now it's time to turn your attention to your financial life and the material nuts-and-bolts aspects of your relationships. This is a great transit to make a plan with your partner, your child or your accountant about how you spend or save your money.

June 7: Full Moon in Sagittarius

A full Moon in Sagittarius occurs when the Sun is in Gemini. These are both signs of travel, ideas, beliefs and education -- making this a restless Moon, physically and mentally. This is a great time to explore and move beyond what you already know. Expand your understanding and your sphere to make the most of this time. Curious and optimistic, this full Moon yearns for something new and different. Make sure though, with serious Saturn forming a T-square to this Moon, that you incorporate practicality when making plans. All full Moons signal periods of heightened emotions, and mark a culmination of the plans set in motion during the previous new Moon, which occurred on May 24.

This full Moon will most affect those born June 5-9, September 8-12, December 7-11 and March 6-10.

June 9: Mercury sextile Uranus

Your mind speeds up with Mercury's contact with electrical Uranus. You may need to write down everything you're thinking so you don't forget those brilliant insights that are coming fast and furious! New ideas, conversation, agreements and plans provide exciting opportunities. You may even receive an out-of-the-blue phone call or email that connects you with people who can help you reach your goals.

June 9: Mercury square Neptune

When the planet of communication meets dreamy Neptune, your thinking is inspired yet impractical. Famous for misunderstandings, this challenging square reminds you of the importance of not assuming anything! Double check your facts before you get involved in a muddy, circular conversation. Pay attention to the details and you'll be fine.

June 10: Mercury square Jupiter

When Mercury squares Jupiter, there's a tendency to think big, and even to overcommit. But it's also an aspect that highlights misunderstandings. Sometimes what we say or even think is not in alignment with our beliefs. This is one of those times when you become aware of this discrepancy in yourself and others.

June 13: Mercury enters Gemini

You have a message to communicate and now is the time to do it! Mercury's entrance into its own sign brings information, interesting conversations, new news, deal-making and the possibility of signing contracts that benefit you. Cast a wide net. Clip favorite articles from magazines and bookmark your favorite sites. Make sure you get your beauty-rest so that you don't end up frazzled by month's end! Minimize distractions when possible so you can hone in on the ideas and contacts that are the most important to you.

June 15: Jupiter turns retrograde

Since Jupiter entered community-minded Aquarius last January 5, you have been expanding your sphere of influence and paying more attention to the larger world. Perhaps you have joined a group, made new friends or started participating more in your community. Now Jupiter turns retrograde for the first time in Aquarius, giving you a chance to review your decisions. Momentum is slowed during this retrograde period, which will last until October 12. However, do not worry about plans and projects that are delayed. This is an important cycle where, in the end, whatever was held back will turn out to be a blessing in disguise. In general, this is a time of cutting back and curtailing excesses. Look to see where Jupiter is transiting in your own chart to see how you can benefit from this review.

June 17: Sun trines Neptune, Sun squares Uranus, Sun trines Jupiter

What inspires you? With Jupiter and Neptune conjunct, the Gemini Sun trines both expansive Jupiter and spiritual Neptune catapulting your idealism to new heights. Your desire to give and make a difference is strong. The Sun also squares Uranus today. Every now and then, the universe seems to want to make sure we are staying awake! As the Sun in information-gathering Gemini meets the square from gotta-have-change Uranus, expect the unexpected to jolt you out of your everyday routines.

Enjoy the Sun's transit in Gemini!

** Astrolesson: The Houses

Astrologers have a saying to help students make the distinction between the planets, signs and houses: 'The planets are the actors; the signs are the costumes; the houses are the stage.' It's an easy way to think about these as you mix and match planets, signs and houses. In this lesson, we will explore the houses (stages) where the action in your life takes place.

The wheel of the chart is divided into 12 pie-shaped wedges with each house (or pie shape) being assigned a number. Each of the houses represents a certain area of life. For example, the Second House in any chart shows not only what you value, but also has a lot to say about your income as well as your approach to making money and improving the material conditions of your life. Pluto's placement here indicates an individual who equates money with power. Expansive Jupiter in the second house may be beneficial when it comes to making money yet also indicates someone who has no trouble spending it! If Neptune is here, your spiritual values will be important but you may also have trouble asking for a raise or determining the value of your services.

Staying with this example with the planet being the actor, the sign the costume, and the house the stage, let's place one of the planet-actors in a sign or costume. Rowdy Mars in the Second House brings plenty of energy and initiative. This is like having a warrior ready to make you money! If Mars is in communicative Gemini, then Mars will want to make that money through communication of some kind. Can you see that this would be a great placement for a salesperson or teacher? Someone who uses words to make money is a very natural use of this placement. It means the individual would have a talent to sell or educate.

Astrology can be so helpful when people are looking for areas to invest themselves and their talents. Houses show the 'theater of operation' where planets want to express. So next time you are wondering where you or someone you know could benefit and make life easier, look to the houses!

05/09/09,Tonight the Full Moon is in the sign of Scropio @ 11:01 p.m. cst.

With a full moon in Scorpio people are likely to feel more passionate and seek to fulfil their desires while the moon is in Scorpio. There is an increase in emotional intensity and people are more easily offended by comments or actions of others. You must balance your emotions with your individuality. You may have difficulties with the oppostie sex, authority figures and family members. However, it may be best to stay away from socal situations that are complicated if transformation is not the desired outcome.

If your natal moon is in Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces, Cancer, or Virgo then you sense this is an excellent time to research and investiagte what ever you are after on all levels.

If your natal moon is in Aquarius, Taurus, or Leo then you should be careful and cautious while interacting with the opposite sexwhile the moon is in scropio.

Regeneration, Investigation, Sensuality, and Resourcefulness are the main focus on this full moon.

As I have always said in other postings about full moons...this is a good time to use the energy of the full moon to re-energize your possesions as well as yourself, perform appropriate magic when needed(such as protection, healing, energy...etc.) prepare herbs for the month to come & to replenish inventory, and reflect upon the past to see what improvements need and can be changed.

Happy Mother's Day

** All about Taurus

All those rumors about Taureans being stubborn? They're true. But lest you begin to think that stubbornness is a bad trait, consider the way people talk about those who don't stick to what they believe in: wishy-washy, scattered, distracted. Isn't stubborn better? Of course, there are other words that suit the average Taurus quite well and have a nicer ring to them: focused, grounded and stable, to name just a few. In other words, if there's an important task to be accomplished, you'll want a Bull for the job.

But there's a lot more to that Taurean nature than the ability to make a decision and keep to it -- innate sensuality, for example. These folks are the touchmeisters of the zodiac; so if it smells, tastes, looks, sounds or feels good, they're there. Just step into the home of the nearest Taurus for ample proof. You may not find the Mona Lisa on the living room wall or a bottle of Dom in the fridge, but you'll come across something that looks just as elegant and tastes just as good -- and you're in luck, too, because the Bull is more than happy to share, as long as the company is of equal quality.

When it comes to relationships, in fact, the one thing a Taurus absolutely insists on is that they have something to share. They're very big on getting a return on their investments, no matter what they've invested or how -- and that goes for time, energy and resources. If you're involved with a Taurus on a one-on-one basis, it's not just unbelievably pleasurable -- it's also a tremendous compliment! With Venus as its ruler, this sign settles for nothing less than the best of everything; if a Taurus isn't sure their partner answers that description on many levels, they wouldn't waste their time. So if you're a Bull yourself, those thoughts might go through your mind every time you and your sweetie get into an argument that leaves you trying to decide whether or not to walk out and stay gone. You know that you wouldn't be with them for this long if they weren't the best -- just be true to yourself, and your decisions are sure to be as solid as you are.

** Your Starcast for April 19 to May 19

Take stock of where you are and what you want while the Sun transits through practical Taurus! You will get plenty of help with Mars entering its own sign on April 22 when you'll have all the energy you'll need to get your plans in motion. Venus joins Mars in bold Aries on the 24th, so make sure you get out of the house. If you are single, you just may meet the love of your life. The new Moon in Taurus on April 24 marks a new beginning and reminds you to plan sensibly. Leave the wild and crazy schemes for more stable times. Pluto's trine to this new Moon shows that people in powerful positions can be helpful to you. Keep your eyes open. On April 26, Mars squares Pluto. Watch for pushy behavior, whether it come from you or someone else. Stay on your path and sidestep control freaks. The pace of life picks up as Mercury enters Gemini on April 30. It seems like everybody has something to say! Then love planet Venus squares Pluto on May 3, and the intensity level rises. Don't shy away from the deeper issues. They are surfacing for you to clear them out. Any conversations you have been having over the last couple of weeks are going to get a return visit now as Mercury turns retrograde on May 6. And although the full Moon in Scorpio on May 8 will intensify your emotions, use this time to clear the air. Then stand back and assess how far you've come, and use the power of this Moon to put finishing touches on your plans. Retrograde Mercury returns to determined Taurus on May 13; and then on May 16, the Sun offers three different points of view as it squares Jupiter, sextiles Uranus and squares Neptune. Take the time to separate fact from fiction and you'll know what to do. As Saturn turns direct on May 16, you'll be able to create a firm foundation for success.

April 19: Sun enters Taurus

Gather your pennies, put your money in a safe place and analyze how you can improve your security. Whether you get a job to save for college expenses or make a sensible plan for retirement, this is the time to take stock of where you are and what you want. You will get all the help you need with the Sun's transit through earthy, practical Taurus. Determination, loyalty and stubbornness are Taurus characteristics that you can put to good use now.

April 22: Mars enters Aries

As Mars leaves soul-searching Pisces and enters the fiery sign it rules, you may feel like a ram that has been let loose on land after swimming around in the ocean for a while! Shake that water off! You have an abundance of energy now that needs something to pour all of that energy into. Otherwise, you may find yourself getting argumentative for no good reason. Although Aries is the sign of the pioneer, both Mars and Aries are, in mythology, the names for the god of war. If you stay focused on yourself and what you want to achieve, you'll go far.

April 24: Venus enters Aries

Now direct, the planet of love enters Aries for the second time this year. When Venus entered this enthusiastic sign on February 2, it was time for bold moves. Venus turned retrograde in Aries on March 6 and returned to Pisces on April 11, finally turning direct on April 17. Your love-life has seen plenty of twists and turns over these last couple of months. Now it's time to start again in the first sign of the zodiac. This is not a stay-at-home placement. If you are single, plan activities where you can meet someone who loves to do what you do. Married? Bring your partner flowers, train for the marathon together or sign up for a dance class. It is the doing that sparks love -- so get moving!

April 24: New Moon in Taurus

The new Moon in Taurus emphasizes the themes you've already been focused on since the Sun entered Taurus a few days ago. This is the sign that rules money and values, and your material life in general. You are especially grounded and clear now, which gives you the ability to plan sensibly. Pluto's trine to this new Moon shows that people in powerful positions can be helpful to you.

This new Moon will most affect those born April 23-27, July 26-30, October 27-31 and January 24-28.

April 26: Mars square Pluto

From 1996 until now, while Pluto was in belief-driven Sagittarius, when Mars squared Pluto, it was from sensitive Pisces or hardworking Virgo. This marks the first time that Mars in its own sign Aries forms a square to Pluto, which is now in ambitious Capricorn. This aspect tells the story of a power struggle. Pay close attention to any war-like, pushy behavior -- whether it comes from you or someone else. When challenged by those who have power, your tendency may be to lash out. How you handle challenges and disagreements says a lot about you now. Ask yourself if you have to have everybody's support to do what you believe is right for you.

April 30: Mercury enters Gemini

Mercury enjoys being in its home-sign Gemini! This is the premiere communication planet, so expect to hatch plans, gather information and chat with others to sound out your ideas. This is a beneficial time to cast a wide net as you explore different avenues of thought, engage in interesting conversations and clip favorite articles from magazines. Remember to bookmark your favorite sites!

May 3: Venus square Pluto

Matters of the heart can get a bit intense at times. When Venus in gallant Aries bumps into a square with Pluto, the Transformer, you'll need to figure out what you can let go of. Maybe you have an idea about what should happen, or perhaps you are pursuing a relationship that isn't a good fit. Whether it's your best friend or the love of your life, from time to time we need to descend into the deeper, messier realms to test the authenticity and staying power of our most important relationships. Power games may surface; attempts to control will backfire. Cool your jets, be thoughtful and regroup to make the most of this transit.

May 6: Mercury turns retrograde

It's time for a thorough review as Mercury turns retrograde in its own sign, Gemini. All of the normal rules apply: don't sign contracts; do not buy products that are communication-related, such as phones, mp3 players, and computers. The same goes for anything travel-related, such as cars and plane tickets. That said -- life doesn't always cooperate with Mercury retrograde periods! So if you must sign a contract, build in escape clauses; safeguard the receipts for products bought and double-check reservations. Most importantly, go back to conversations and ideas that you did not fully explore.

May 8: Full Moon in Scorpio

Full Moons are known for being a time of heightened emotion, and when in a sign as passionate as Scorpio, you're likely to feel strongly about everything! The new Moon in Taurus last month on April 24 prompted you to get a financial plan together and to build more material security into your life. Now, at this time of culmination with the Sun and Moon in opposition, you have a chance to stand back and assess how far you've come. Use the power of this Moon to put finishing touches on your plans. This full Moon will most affect those born May 7-11, August 9-13, November 9-13 and February 5-9.

May 13: Mercury enters Taurus

In Gemini, Mercury has a million ideas. In Taurus, practicality reigns and your thought process turns sensible. Certainly, nothing needs to be decided right now with Mercury retrograde, so take your time and be deliberate and patient as you mull over your options. Figure out what will realistically work and what won't. Let that be your guide as you ride out the rest of this retrograde period that lasts until May 30.

May 16: Sun squares Jupiter; Sun sextiles Uranus; Sun squares Neptune

This much input on one day keeps life interesting! First, the Sun in earthy Taurus in a square to Jupiter in Aquarius, an air sign, challenges you to be practical while also taking into account the social environment and the needs of others. But, with the Sun also squaring Neptune today (Neptune and Jupiter are close enough to conjunct later this month), figuring out what you want may feel confusing now. See if you can find a quiet place to relax and carefully think things through. Keep in mind though, opportunities to make creative changes that enhance your life are indicated by the Sun's sextile to Uranus. It's time for a change!

May 16: Saturn turns direct

Are you feeling a sense of anticipation? Saturn's change in direction after a long retrograde lowers barriers and opens the door to forward movement. In Virgo, all of your plans to get organized and embark upon a sensible health and fitness plan get the green light. It will be easier now to create a firm foundation for success. You will be amazed at what you can accomplish! Check your own chart for more information about how this important transit is affecting you.

Enjoy the Sun's transit in Taurus!

** Astrolesson: Retrograde Saturn

Since Saturn turns direct during this Taurus solar period, let's review what it means when this 'builder' planet is retrograde for several months each year. This current period began when Saturn turned retrograde on the last day of last year: December 31. Saturn turns direct on May 16 of this year.

Think of Saturn as a schoolteacher. Whether the education feels like it's coming from your worst teacher or your favorite, in many ways it's up to you. There is something being learned, and where Saturn is currently transiting in your chart is where you are receiving an important lesson.

Just as during any retrograde period, during Saturn's retrograde you help yourself by stepping back, reviewing and determining how you can support yourself more effectively in your life and express yourself more fully. Facing limitations, those of the world and your own capacity to limit yourself, is a signature of Saturn. Saturn always represents our responsibilities, our rules-for-living, how we construct our lives, and where we need to put our boundaries.

If you think of a retrograde Saturn as reviewing whether or not you've been structuring your life in a healthy way, you'll do just fine during this time. Listen to this master builder and the construction team, who are your current teachers. Don't take any short cuts! Don't rush anything. Instead, take your time to build slowly and thoroughly and you will reap plenty of rewards down the road.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. Lil Irish and mine are on different days, but yes both Aries. Its been a very long winter and seems like old man winter is trying to hang on. I can't wait until it starts to warm up it'll be much easier on my body and health. I've been keeping my eye on the astrology because so many things are coming out of left field with no warning. So, I'm hoping with this full moon in Libra on the 9th that it will allow me to relax and sit on the side lines and really review everything that is going on.

Yes, Ariel hasn't mastered putting the sippy cup in her mouth yet, so she is still using the poor cat as target practice, as well as her toys. She loves animals so when she sees our cat she gets excited and tries to talk to him and pet him, but the cat also makes sure that he is just far enough away that she can't reach him, its funny to see both of them. The cat is really good around the baby.

Thank you once again for the birhday wishes and may the warm weather get here soon so we can all enjoy a nice Spring.

Blessed Be,

~Autumn

** All about Aries

Aries was named after the Greek god of war, and its patron planet is Mars, his Roman counterpart. Astrologically speaking, the Red Planet has long been associated with 'red' qualities -- like assertiveness, aggression and passion. Needless to say, those of you born with the Sun in this hotheaded, temperamental sign are also passionate, impatient and perpetually predisposed to leap first and look later -- if at all. But don't let anyone convince you that any of those traits are liabilities. In the right hands, they're all assets.

That impetuousness is part of what makes an Aries such charming, exciting company. It's a sign that's always brave enough to try anything once -- at least once. Basically, if you're an Aries, you're the perfect playmate; if you're not, you've probably enjoyed good times with one! The impatience associated with the sign also fosters a straightforward trustworthiness. Aries are big fans of the 'cut to the chase' strategy, so anything that gets between point A (where they are) and point B (where they want to be) just won't do. That definitely includes lies and deceit. Who has time for all that? For the Ram, it's better to just say what's true and get it over with. Aries certainly aren't afraid to take responsibility for their actions. What's the worst that could happen?

For Mars's favorite sign, stress equals excitement, excitement equals adrenaline, and adrenaline is what makes it all worth it -- so getting involved with an Aries, even platonically, isn't a job for the faint of heart. Romantically speaking, anyone who decides to take on a Ram had better be a brave, spontaneous, unencumbered companion. But an Aries will also want a worthy opponent, someone who's not afraid to disagree with their partner -- or with the rest of the world, for that matter -- when the need arises. Aries folk are natural-born warriors who respect that quality in others. In short, anyone who's afraid (of anything) just won't do. An Aries's lucky partner will be rewarded with a life full of adventure, passion and surprises. To say that there will never be a dull moment when Aries is involved isn't even scraping the surface!

** Your Starcast for March 20 to April 18

It's time for a new journey as the Sun enters the first sign of the zodiac. But on March 22, the Jupiter quincunx Saturn aspect asks you to reassess your lifestyle and encourages you to be sensible. You will have plenty of inspiring ideas and conversations as communication planet, Mercury, enters Aries on March 25. Then, March 26 brings a new Moon in Aries when it's time to advance your own causes. Intensity reigns in your relationships as retrograde Venus squares Pluto on April 3, and Pluto turns retrograde on April 4. Stop and consider carefully what you want and where you want to go as Mars opposes Saturn on the same day. A workable plan exists, and with Mercury's entrance into stable Taurus on April 9, you'll get help. Justice is extra important during the full Moon in Libra, also on April 9. Then, retrograde Venus slips back into Pisces on April 11 when it's time to reflect on your relationships. The stimulating energy of the Mars/Uranus conjunction on April 15 gives you a boost, and as Venus turns direct on April 17, your relationship life will get back on track.

March 20: Sun enters Aries

It's time for a new journey as the Sun enters the first sign of the zodiac marking the Spring Equinox for those of us above the equator, and the Fall Equinox for those below. Aries is the sign of the pioneer, so draw upon the fiery bold nature of this sign to help you get exciting projects moving. Although Aries is known for impatience, this warrior sign also has risk-taking attributes that lead to success.

March 22: Jupiter quincunx Saturn

When these two social planets come into contact with each other, they urge you to assess your lifestyle. Saturn is the planet of contraction while Jupiter is the planet of expansion. Curtail overspending and draft a sensible plan that strengthens your stability. The quincunx is an angle of adjustment, and when you think about it, who couldn't benefit from tweaking some of those plans to help make the future more secure?

March 23: Sun squares Pluto

When the Sun in fiery Aries squares intense Pluto in ambitious Capricorn, the impulsive nature of Aries needs to take into account the powers-that-be and the prevailing climate of these times. You can control part of your destiny; other parts are outside of your control. Knowing which is which will help you make good decisions.

March 25: Mercury enters Aries

With the planet of communication's entrance into bold Aries, you'll have plenty of heated-yet-inspired conversations. This is an excellent aspect for planning; you are ready to take some risks! Make sure you give your mind a project now; otherwise Mercury in this warrior sign may start stirring things up. Don't waste this fabulous transit on conflict when you can use the initiative of this sign to dream up something new!

March 26: New Moon in Aries

This new Moon, a time of new beginnings and fresh starts, should put a spring in your step! Advance your plans and projects by making use of this action-oriented sign. Your dreams and goals can use Aries' natural enthusiasm. Don't waste time in indecision. Grab the ram by the horns and get going! And keep in mind that Aries is also the sign of the warrior. Be thoughtful of others while advancing your own causes.

This new Moon will most affect those born March 24-28, June 26-30, September 28-October 2 and December 26-30.

April 3: Venus squares Pluto

Relationships are challenged as retrograde Venus returns to square Pluto a day before Pluto turns direct. Venus squared Pluto for the first time in this series on February 5. Venus rules love; Pluto rules transformation. Let go of old relationship values that don't fit you any more, and don't be afraid of intense conversations! The air needs to be cleared before you can proceed.

April 4: Pluto turns retrograde

Pluto turns retrograde in ambitious Capricorn, prompting you to transform your life in order to make achievements. While the world-at-large is focused on taking broken systems and making them work, examine the systems in your own life. You have until September 11 when Pluto turns direct to get your life on a good successful track.

April 4: Mars opposite Saturn

Mars is the planet of action and movement, and when traveling through Pisces, your life dreams are featured. Saturn represents the rule-maker and has a message: how you build is just as important as what you build. Saturn's message in practical Virgo is that slowing down and being extra careful is important now. Assess your plans and activities. Some doors will close, which gives you a chance to take stock of where you are ... and who you are. Maturity is the magic key that will unlock some of those doors.

April 9: Mercury enters Taurus

Nothing needs to be decided quickly. Take your time and be deliberate in your planning. The communication planet in earthy, practical Taurus slows down your mind, giving you the opportunity to figure out what works and what doesn't. With all the changes going on in your life, this transit brings the kind of stable, sensible energy you can use.

April 9: Full Moon in Libra

Last March 26, a new Moon in fiery Aries began a new cycle, and you were urged to advance your plans. Now, the full Moon in relational Libra gives you a chance to step back and see if you're considering others' needs as you continue on your path. Your sense of fairness and justice is heightened and your focus now is on strengthening your relationship ties. This is a great time to throw a party, spend the evening with your best friend or enjoy a romantic dinner with your sweetheart.

This full Moon will most affect those born April 7-11, July 10-14, October 17-21 and January 8-12.

April 11: Venus re-enters Pisces

When love planet Venus turned retrograde in Aries on March 6, it launched a period of relationship review. Now Venus heads back into Pisces and your attention turns to spiritual yearnings for soul connection. This is a charitable transit; your feelings of love are likely to expand beyond the personal to the universal. Your heart opens in quiet ways. This is a perfect time for a retreat, to listen to music, commune with nature -- and turn off your noisy mind! Venus ends her retrograde on April 17.

April 15: Mars conjunct Uranus

Put energetic Mars next to independent Uranus and a revolutionary is born! You'll have little patience and won't want anybody telling you what to do. Instead, strike out on your own. This is a creative, innovative, energy-packed combo, and if you direct this energy into something that matters to you, you will make great progress.

April 17: Venus turns direct

On March 6, Venus turned retrograde in bold Aries, helping you take care of unfinished business and gain a deeper perspective on the status of your relationships. You may have been contacted by someone from your past; perhaps you met someone new who seemed strangely familiar. It has been important during this relationship review to evaluate the important people in your life and the strength of those connections. Now that Venus is direct, assess the changes that have occurred since she turned retrograde and put into practice everything you've discovered about yourself and your loved ones.

Enjoy the Sun's transit in Aries!

** Astrolesson: Mars

In last month's Astrolesson we looked at the role of Venus in the signs. Now that we are going through fiery Aries, we thought this would be a good time to shed more light on Aries' ruling planet, Mars. Whereas Venus is the planet that shows how we attract something like a relationship or money, Mars is the planet that shows how we go after them.

Think about what sets you in motion and how you act upon your desires. For example, right now Mars is transiting through Aquarius, which means collectively we are advancing through Aquarian principles -- through teamwork, friends, groups and social opportunities. If you have this placement in your birth chart, these Aquarian themes are a prime motivator for you throughout your life. For the rest of us, it is only for a short while. Let's look at another example. If Mars is placed in Cancer in your birth chart, you are emotionally driven. It is important to you to feel the emotional rightness about what ever you go after. And you need to feel comfortable! Cancer is a very security-conscious sign, and just like Cancer's animal symbol, the crab moves sideways. If you have this natal placement, you are likely to 'move sideways' or around a plan until you feel ready to act and to get a plan in motion. No matter where Mars was when you were born, when you know your Mars sign, it helps you to strategize and to make good decisions about how you go after your goals, be it a job or a relationship.

Gina and I just wanted to say happy ST. Patty's Day.

Hope everyone has a great day and if you plan to drink, please don't drive.

Today my husband and I are taking Ariel to the county zoo, so that should be a lot of fun. She loves our cat and everytime the cat comes up to her, she coos and tries to talk to the cat. So, can't wait to see how she responds to the other animals at the zoo.

Have a great day everyone!

Blessed Be,

~ Autumn

Usually for Ostara meals consist of early green leaves, shoots and sprouts, eggs, breads, fruits, and lamb or roast are cooked.

Make your own salad dressing. Make a fruit ambrosia out of the little marshmellow peeps to make a fun fruit salad for the kids, and really even kids can help in the kitchen with making the fruit ambrosia.

Deviled eggs are easy to make and delicious.

Make home-made breads like: lemon zest bread, banana bread, mixed berry bread...ect.

Lamb or a nice roast with lots of fresh vegetables is excellent for this sabbat. Not to mention that if you have left overs you can freeze it and have a meal for another time. Enjoy!

P.s. in case you forgot, we moved the clocks a head one hour early this morning.

Blessed Be,

~Autumn Silver Sky

Subject: Ostara - another sabbat is celebrated

On Friday March 20th the Sun enters Aries @ 7:43 am. The beginning of new hopes, new beginnings, and new realationships. The Earth is rewakening! Its the seed sowing / planting sabbat, as well as a fertility festival. The day where Day and Night are equal and the days begin to grow longer.

The egg has always been the representation of life and the rabbit is always seen as the symbol of fertility. This sabbat is about 6,000 + years old. And just like back then, today we continue to paint eggs and hide them, decorate our hearth and homes with the signs of life,Spring, and prepare a delicious meals for the sabbat.
In Druid legends, an egg found on this day was a healing egg with very benefical powers especially when used in divination.

This day is to celebrate life. So, on this morning rise with dawn and prepare yourself By clearing your aura, bathe to rid of negativity and or problems, meditate to regain focus as well as ground and center yourself, and wear your special clothes for Ostara. If your new and you don't have your special spot in your closet for sabbat clothing...that is a okay. Regular everyday clothes are fine as long as they are clean. If you haven't the night before, start cooking for the feast.

This a great celebration for kids too because they can help bake and cook. Make special gifts, play games, story telling...etc.

If you have a garden say a blessing for that garden and or feild. And bless your live stock too with fertility. If you know someone whom is trying to become pregnant, you can also say a blessing for them too, as well as a spell for them, but only if you get their permission first.

Then the night of Ostara starting a sunset is when the bonfires are lit and rituals are performed.

May this year our fields yeild mass quanity of healthy crops and may all livestock become fertile. May everyone be happy and healthy and enjoy life to its fullest.

Blessed Be,

~ Autumn

Wow. All I know what to say right now. I thank everyone of you and appreciate all your thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. I've probably never felt better in my life. Few problems still and some that may continue forever, but I must be one of the luckiest persons in this world to have you all. Yes my new job is good and I'm doing well, but still not the same. Working for family, and or yourself is much easier, but I should count my lucky stars that I have a job. Unfortunately in this awful economy many people are without electric, food, jobs and many other things that we all take for advantage. All I hope is that everyone of us can all stick together and keep each other in our thoughts and prayers along with the rest of the world. There are so many people less fortunate then us. We are all lucky. Look at what we all have. As i sit and think to myself I wish I had this, and wish I had that, but what if I did? Where would I be and would I have met the rst of you? I'm so lucky that I have what I have and most of all that I have all of you. I was a pretty well off young man, and pardon my french but thought I had the world by the ass. Iv'e lost that but I have the most important thing in the world, and unfortunately it took very long to realize it, but it is you people. My friends!! I'm sorry to ramble but it just seems bad things always happen to all of us. But lets look at the possitive. We have all made jumps and leaps forward, and I would love to see us all go farther. We are in charge of our destiny, so lets all hold hands and make leaps and bounds. We are all in this together, and we all need each other. So please lets do this for one and for all. You all have become family to me even though I haven't been able to post. But please remember I have never and will never forget any of you. I miss you all and think of you everday. Lets go take things into our own hands together, and we will exceed our goals. I miss you all. The Earman

Great to hear that Earman is doing well. WAY TO GO!!!!
Sounds like you are doing great and have moved on from a very rough time in your life. A new chapter has been opened in your life. And you may or may not realize this but your experience has taught others an important lesson.

Life has a lot to offer, live your life to its fullest as it is a precious gift. Challenges that we go through today are gone tomorrow by your hard work. Your strength ,courage, and faith got you through tough times and look at you now, doing so much better!

Hope you are liking your new job. Take care of yourself and enjoy the warmer weather when it arrives. I'm ready for Spring!

Hi there! Glad to hear that you are still moving. When is the big date? Have you found employment yet in Wisconsin?

When you least expect it Billy will start to talk, remember each child is very different and develope their own time when they want to do something. I'm not sure if Billy is around alot of people or not, but this will make a big difference. Ariel is around a lot of people all the time, which is probably why she is talking early...BUT she refuses to be on her stomach which may delay her developement in crawling. She can roll over but only when she wants to. But who knows maybe she'll skip the crawling stage and go right to walking...this does happen.

If you are really concern you could have Billy checked out by a specialist. And if he should ever need speech therapy, Wisconsin has a 0-3 PROGRAM provided by the State. This state program runs on donations. They do take insurance and if the insurance doesn't pay then they go by a sliding scale by your income.
Our cost for Ariel is only 35 per month, and this is if our insurance doesn't pick it up. She is currently in physical therapy for tortocolis...she was breech when I was prregnant with her so she always favors onside more than the other. She doing really good with it. At least now she can turn her head to the other direction. Before she could only tirn her head to the left at about 40 degrees, but now she can turn to the left at a full 85 degrees. She still slumps to her right side of her body which we are currently trying to correct.

Got to go trying to get the little on to take her morning nap...Boy, this child has a strong will.


Blessed Be,

Autumn
