Dear Pinkies, welcome back Pink Astrological and Mystical Goddess Tara Sutphen, here to tell us about the moon under which we’ll be partying, reflecting, and ringing in the New Year. Not only will it be a full moon, but a BLUE moon. A special way to end an amazing year, no? We’ll let Tara tell you the rest, with big Pink bows of gratitude.

The Long Night "Blue" Moon at 10* Cancer will culminate December 31, 2009, 11:13am PST. A Blue Moon is when there are two full moons in one calendar month. Also this moon will be a partial lunar eclipse, only visible in Europe, Asia & Africa, when Umbral shadow will cover 7.6 percent of the moon's surface.

Eclipses are about change or letting go – often in order to bring something exciting or illuminating into your life. Since it's the time of New Year’s Resolutions, you may as well get clear about your intentions, embody the spirit of great change instead, and take hold of life instead of letting it whip you around.

What’s holding you back?

We are in the darkest days of the year, so dig deep within yourself and bring to the fore those latent dreams and desires. Examine your feelings to see where they might be blocking you from moving forward in life. How do emotions clog your ego (or sense of self)? What are you able to accomplish in your everyday life, and where don't you feel as good about yourself? What feelings might be hiding, and what is stopping you from dealing with them and bringing them out to examine and rectify? Recognizing the lost and hurt feelings and old wounds is enough to help us in life – we can bring them forth, kiss them better and put them back deeply inside our souls as knowledge and wisdom. It's about reactivating our trust.

Excavating the Real You

Dig, Dig, Dig out those sordid, agitating or despairing thoughts and wounds. It's time to create your new ego and the foundation on which it rests. Where do your soul and your ego sit within you? They should be resting on a glowing, feather-soft nest, not on a bed of nails.

Did someone make a disparaging remark to or about you? Call your self esteem back. Did someone wound your soul? Call back the shards and your confidence. Did someone not love you enough? Call your love back. Did you give too much to others without being acknowledged or appreciated? Call your expectations back. Have you lived in fear? Call back your courage. Call back the lost parts of yourself - they are yours, after all.

You have come to create the best earth life you can, begin to activate your life force and wholeness into your trust center. You give because it is an honor to give, you love because it is your legacy. Remember that the natural state of your mind is clarity, and there is no confusion. Bring back the lost parts of you.


Journal Questions:

What is your ego? How big is your ego? Is it as big as your soul? Is your soul gigantic and your ego small, or vice-versa? Are your ego and soul balanced? How are they in harmony? Are you well balanced or in disharmony?

Are you personally out of control with your ego? Where? How? Why? What would bring you in balance? Why do you overcompensate? Where do you feel less than? Where have you been wounded? Emotionally? Mentally? Physically? Soulfully? Who and what is to say that you are out of control?

Describe your ego and it's base connections. How do you protect yourself and your ego? How do you manipulate yourself or others? How do you gain favor with others or not? What are your motivations? Do you feel these are instinctual feelings and reactions? Or are they thought out and carefully planned?

Where can you sooth your deepest sadness and re-awaken your longings? Where does knowledge and wisdom begin and end? Where will you use your wisdom? Do you use good knowledge to evolve your primitive or radical ideas, thoughts or actions? Where do you risk? Are you clear about what you want to gain?

Bring your sorrows out, kiss them and put them away. They are meaningful, and in their highest form can lead to great learning. Allow them to be thus. If you are to make progress, decide to do it now – no more waiting for the right time.

Here’s to a transformative New Year,

Tara
