Moon Face

As the Moon joins the Sun in the sign of Cancer

this Moonface wishes you all a very happy New Moon.

 May we all benefit from new and fertile beginnings.

For us in the arid Southwest desert the signs are promising

as we just had our first downpour in ages.

Now a whole lot more rain on the fires, please,

and life will once more be good.

A view of our solar eclipse;

July 1: Partial eclipse of the Sun at 9.12 Cancer at 08.55 AM with Saturn in Libra square the eclipse point. Solar eclipses always occur at the New Moon while lunar eclipses always fall at the Full Moon. A solar eclipse tells us that the area in question where it takes place in your natal chart is under some form of urgency for change. - Alan Oken, Astrologer

New Orchid/New Moon/ New Beginnings

 Happy New Moon! Happy New Beginnings!

Today January 4th, 2:03 AM Mountain Standard time with the Sun and Moon both in 13 degrees Capricorn a new cycle begins and our new year starts in earnest. It is a great time to ring in the new,  for me here with setting my focus on my new Orchid. For us though better yet to renew our intentions and  reconsider our priorities. It is an especially propitious time to take a moment to calm down and intuit what may lie ahead. What may need tweaking or may be in need of a radical overhaul so we can become the person we may want to be. On the practical side today is an excellent day to change the batteries in your fire alarms, to change your water filters if you have not done so yet, to defrost the fridge, to declutter your closets.
