HAPPY OCTOBER
*************************************
From Bonnie bonnie@inner-resources.net

what would you think of Making October 1st a
DAY OF AMAZING GRACE?
a Day of Amazing Grace. A day for everyone to
perform one act of kindness for another.

An act of amazing grace. No strings attached,
no expectation of receiving back from the person,
no thought except to experience
that heart connection for yourself.

We are all one and we are all in this life together.
The greatest gift you can ever give another is yourself.

I invite you to participate in this Day of Amazing Grace
by give some bit of yourself to another. It does not have
to cost a cent. You being You out in the world is enough.

It can be as simple as making eye contact & smiling at
someone on the street. Offering a cheerful greeting
to the checker at your grocery store.

Helping a mother with young children carry her
packages to the car. Paying for coffee for the person
standing behind you in Starbucks. Picking up trash
off the street.

Telling everyone in your family that
you love them. Thanking and appreciating a friend.
It can be ANY act of amazing grace that you are
called to perform.

It is time to re-engage in life and in the greater community.
Like Smokey the Bear used to say “Only you can prevent
forest fires,❠I say âOnly you can perform an act of amazing
grace.â Just one act; just one day—Thursday, October 1st.

You must find that place within yourself where
EVERYTHING is possible.

This is a wonderful idea so please, SPREAD IT
AROUND AND lets all make October 1st a WONDERFUL
DAY for each other… Thanks for the GREAT IDEA Bonnie.

Thursday October 01, 2009

Welcome to the 10th month of an number 11 year making
October 2009 a 3 month of learning and opening to our
fullest potential.

We begin today with the moon in Magical and
Mystical Pisces making an opposition to Venus
the planet of love and beauty.

Venus is wearing
her Virgo costume and as she asks that we find
the facts and details that MOON IN PISCES says,
WHO Cares, facts change by the moment, lets
imagine what we want and Venus says…

NOPE..
We do have to know what we want before we wish
don't we?

AND there you have an simple explanation
of the term OPPOSITION. 2 planets wanting different
things and when they finally figure out how well they
do in the middle all moves along wonderfully as
today should.

Of course we are about 58 hours away from a full
moon and you may be feeling that pull of our
Full Harvest moon already. It will be 11:10pm
On Saturday the 3rd.

Make a point of looking at the sky
and you will see the MAGICAL Libra/Aries Full moon
looking back at you asking you to release all obstacles
to having what you deserve (Aries) and also allowing
others what they deserve (Libra)

- Color today Blue for your own truth and the sky
- Use oil of thieves to remove germs, or pine to
bring the outdoors inside and it also kills germs
- Rose quartz for love of all kinds
- Kiss for today, expect a shift in mood for yourself
and others and go with the flow (GET outdoors)

*************************************************
Kiss is keep it simple sweetie for the day
V/c is when the moon times out and things do not go
as expected

Planets are actors and have a part to play
Signs are the costumes the planets wear
Aspects are how the planets are playing together
Moon is emotions so we keep track of what sign it is in each
day to better understand our own and others moods
***************************************************
Friday October 2, 2009
Today is much busier astrologically than yesterday
was and we begin with that Mercury just recently
Begun to move back over ground it covered in September
(Before Mercury retrograde) Making an opposition to
the moon in Pisces.

This sets the stage for an interesting day as we have
the urge to delve within emotions as Mars and the
Moon both in water signs seem to begin to create a
Stirring within ourselves.

Thinking Positive? This will
be a great day, not so positive, maybe not such a great
day. At 3:02pm the moon touches URANUS (change)
and we are gifted with the message.

""Perhaps you cannot control your first thought
or reaction but upon reflection you can shift that
reaction or thought and create change.""

At 8;29pm tonight the moon opposes Saturn and
we are again asked to look at the details and our next
step while being moved forward into dreaming a new
vision for ourselves. Saturn wants to give us the
discipline to do the work and also can help us be
a bit more pushy or critical than we might need to be...

At 8:29pm pdt the moon moves
V/C and I would advise early to bed tonight and to
not argue if possible.

The full moon eve is fraught
with energy of control (who has it? Who wants it?

and Mars seems to be encouraging us to think that
we might be able to control others during this v/c.

The challenge is to recognize what you can control
tonight and what you cannot control.

Lets all use this aspect to work on inner work
rather than changing the world from the outside
lets do the real work and change from the inside out.
- Oil of Jasmine or Rose for love and happy feelings
Oil of lemon if you need cheering
- Kiss for today is BELIEVE and make it happen
(within yourself as you honor others beliefs, even
if you do not agree
- Tourmalinated quartz to help you remove crystallized
patterns within self which no longer serve your best interest

For me, a miracle is seeing the world with light in your eyes.
It's knowing there's always hope and possibility
where none seems to exist."“ Oprah

********************************************
FULL MOON: October 3rd 11:10pm with the sun at 11 degrees of
Libra And the moon at 11 degrees of Aries .

Libra is the energy of Partnerships. How about thinking
of yourself today as your PARTNER and treat yourself with
honor, respect and be nice to YOURSELF?

Full moons are always
OPPOSITIONS on the sun wanting one thing, in the case of Libra
Partnerships and equality and in the case of the moon in Aries, wanting
individuality and personal power. THE idea of a full moon is to find
BOTH energies over the next month and let go of obstacles to that
happening in your own life.

The Moon Festival is a holiday in China. It's an occasion for family
reunion.

Chinese families like to get together to eat the moon cakes and watch
the
moon at the Moon Festival night. For the people are out of town or for
Chinese
are from China stay in USA, they miss their family or the lover at home
and share
the same moon at the night of the Moon Festival before the Internet gets
popular.

The Moon Festival for year 2009 is October 03, 2009.

The gemstones associated with October are the opal
and the tourmaline. The fire opal, October’s most spectacular
gemstone, may be worn as a talisman of hope, for it embodies
the colors of all precious stones.

These are the LIBRA Stones,
SO…wherever you have LIBRA in your astrology chart this is the
stones for that house (11th and 12th houses for me)

The opal is said to avert painful times and misfortune when
worn by those born in the sign of Libra (September 22 to October 22).
approximately (you know that the solar calendar is not like the
calendar we hang on our walls, right? AND some years a sign will
Begin or end on a day before or after the approximate dates above.

For the Scorpio part of October, (The sun moves to Scorpio on
10/22 at 11:44pm PDT this year..

and our stone is the Tourmaline which balances the polarity
of its wearer, especially when worn on the forehead at the third
eye or at the throat chakra, and it deflects negativity.

Tourmaline wands are used in massage, in healing and in ritual.
(so, since I have Scorpio rising this stone would be the stone
which would be lucky for me in all areas of my life) AND ONE
I absolutely love.. I love the watermelon Tourmaline which
is expensive but also Love this stone in ALL the colors it comes
in which are many...

HAPPY FULL MOON 11:10pm PDT

Today at 2:21am the moon moves into Aries and
Normally this would be energetically a rather intense
And active time.

But at 3:49am a rough square to Pluto in Capricorn
Restrains the usually bold and adventurous Aries energy
And adds a bit of reality check to the day.

The mantra for the moon in Aries is normally, I am
Brave, courageous and dare to be open and willing to
Take care of myself.

With the full moon at 11:10pm
(AN Opposition from that Aires moon to the sun in
Libra) we are asked to look at healthy self care and at
The same time be aware that we are truly not alone
In whatever we do and do have to look out for others
To a certain degree.

This aspect echoes the Fall equinox chart which said
That the next 90 days would challenge us to recognize
Co dependency when we fall into that pattern and also
Recognize that SELF CARE is wonderful, but to take
No more than we need.

David Pond quoted something on his Fall equinox
Tape which I loved. “I will take no less than what
I deserve and no more than what is my share”

This truly does seem the theme of this Full moon.

- KISS please be nice with what you say today
- Color today white for purity of thought & Vision
- Oil or Oregano which is one of the best anti-
biodics I know of. This oil when put onto an
infection has really helped me ...I use only
THE BEST Oils. YOUNG LIVING Is pure and some
of the other oils have perfumes...so use the good
oils and you will be fine
- JET or Black tourmaline for protection and to
anchor you today and maybe the next month this
would be a great stone for you to be using

There is nothing more wonderful than someone saying to you
'I love you.' That is pure eloquence."– Maya Angelou

And it does not have to be a lover¦or even your children.
We can hear this from friends and people who care for us
and it makes our heart Leap with joy.

And so¦maybe if you wish to receive this gift,
you might want to give it out? Carol Barbeau

Sunday October 4, 2009

The moon in Aries has a party today, lots of energetic
And fun things are happening and I would think this
Could be a great day if you again¦avoid conflict and
Look for balance.

From last night at 11:10pm the energy
Of the moon in the sky decreases, and we are now asked
To release and let go of what no longer serves us.
BODY: MIND: and spirit..

4:37am a great Mercury (ideas) Mars (action) aspect
Could have you awaken writing down great ideas, be
Warned and take that notebook to your beside …

10:27am Jupiter gets into the act and good spirits and
Energy should be strong. AVOID overdoing as the
Energy could have you feeling that you could JUMP OFF
BUILDINGS with a single bound.

2:06pm Mercury makes an Opposition to Uranusâ¦this is
The 3rd hit of this aspect in the last 30 days. Usually it does
Happen once a month but due to mercury rx. This aspect
Is challenging us again¦ to look at our ideas and plans in
A new way and let go of resistances.

6:38pm Mars and Uranus get together. ENERGY towards
More change again. WOW::;10:36pm Neptune the planet
Of intuition moves in on the moon and GREAT ideas and
DREAMS can become real.

At 10;46pm a rough aspect with Mars which of course is
Still wearing the sign of Cancer could bring up old emotional
Issues so that you can finally release them. And of course
At this moment the moon moves v/c for another
Not the greatest v/c energy.

REMEMBER V/C is
a time when the moon does not make an
aspect before it moves into the next sign
and things often do not happen as planned

Wow…this surely did not feel like a day off as I was
Writing it, but maybe a great inner work and outer play
Day for us all.
- let go . LET GO is the kiss, and only you know what
must be released; ideas are always good to let go of
aren’t they? Anger? Resentment? Pain? Broken heart?
- Color today yellow and orange for joy and creativity
to know it is never too late to do what you want
and need to do
- Orange carnelian or citrine for money, power and luck
- Oil of Basil or Thai food? Basil relaxes muscles,
and especially is powerful for relaxing heart spasm,
and helps with the digestive system. This great herb
tastes great and alleviates mental fatigues and even
clears your sinuses

WHAT IS WORRY? Worry is thinking hard on the thing which
you do NOT want to happen. And who would want to do that?

"All the ill that is in us comes from fear, and all

Moon in Taurus or I release all blocks and know that I truly
can move forward and create and build something from nothing
it is within my power
*****************************************************
Monday October 5, 2009

Today at 9:33am the moon moves into
Stable and secure Taurus and meanwhile the
Ride to work this am was energetically still working
On that last aspect the moon made at 10:46pm
Last night.

As the moon in Aries squared mars in Cancer emotions
Could have run high, dreams could have been quite
Interesting and maybe not one of the better nights
Of sleep for some of us?

Ground, center, take extra time getting to work
This am. BOTH EYES on the road and be calm
As emotions are still strong.

By 9;33am when the moon slides into Taurus you will
Be feeling lots calmer and 11am as the moon makes
A TRINE (aspect of ease) with Pluto this should be
A pretty good Monday. (IF you drove reasonably and
Watched for those who did not during the commute this
Am)

Expect perhaps this will not be the most energetic
And hard working Monday you ever had,,,and if you
Have the option this would be a great MENTAL
HEALTH day to stay home and catch up on the
TV and …even enjoy the fall weather …Not a
Bad day, but an day of self indulgence if you can do
So.
- Color today purple or lavender for spiritual support
- Amethyst to clear negativity and higher your perspective
- Oil of Melissa to bring out gentle and happy energy
within yourself. This oil is VERY HIGH in Sesquiterpenes.
- Kiss for today Life is what we make it, always
has been, always will be. ~Grandma Moses

LETS BE HAPPY:
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or
consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living
every minute with love, grace and gratitude. Denis Waitley

************************************************
IF you are what you are thinking, what are you
thinking and becoming? So maybe we can become happy?

When I think unhappy thoughts, I am unhappy, when I make
Plans for fun, color, look at beauty, read something positive,
Listen to great music, pet my cat, spend time with those who
Love and honor me. (IT IS REALLY HARD TO be unhappy)
************************************************
Tuesday October 6, 2009

The moon in Taurus gets a bit of a work out today as
Jupiter tries to speed us up and we are still perhaps
Dragging behind a bit more than we might want.

Not to worry, the moons entry and all the energy
Tomorrow will surely have us more lively. Meanwhile
Relax and know there is nothing to hurry for, it will be
Waiting for you when you are ready for it (whatever
It is) SLOW DOWN AND Smell the roses, or
Whatever today..
- Kiss for today is by Malcolm S. Forbes "Too many people
overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are".
- Color today white for purity and purification
- Oil of sage, frankincense, immune power, or anything
else which seems to clear the air and maybe your head
- A good stone for today might be Rhodenite which helps us
to achieve our highest potential and adds to feelings
of self worth

"Although it may crown you Queen for a Day, the world
cannot confer the recognition that will make you feel
fulfilled. Only you can. Congratulate yourself upon the
completion of a personal accomplishment."â“
Sarah Ban Breathnach

PS from Carol, some days I am happy with me just
for getting up and getting e mails done and being
willing to LIVE and be present in the NOW:::
and isn't that wonderful that we can do that...that we have the
joy of clean water and are safe from bombing and have OPTIONS
and choices?

I give gratitude each night for my down comforter, my pillows.
my clean sheets and a safe roof over my head. Thought in this
incarnation I have always had those things, part of my soul seems
to remember a time and places when those were not things I had..

Money is not required to buy one
necessity of the soul. -- Henry David Thoreau

But it does help us be comfortable ... and isn't the only safety
or comfort that we really have (JUST THIS ONE MOMENT IN TIME?)
and for this one moment in time, can't we be happy and grateful?
******************************************************
and this is a lecture I did recently and thought some of you might
enjoy the ideas herein... Lots of people assisted me with the oils and
what not.... So do not kill the messenger and please honor my
need to not receive so many e mails.

MY COMPUTER is crashing and
i am keeping it to my own KISS: KEEPING IT SIMPLE SWEETIE in
the e mail department. FOR SURE E MAIL ME IF YOU WANT an appointment
or to attend a workshop or event though.

IT IS TIME TO INDULGE IN NEW DISCIPLINES
Lets make our minds our GENTLE and obedient servants and not our masters

FULL MOON ON Saturday October 3rd I GENTLY AND EASILY RELEASE ALL
MEMORIES, thoughts, plans, people, places, things, emotions, old ways of
thinking and feeling about people in my life which are NEGATIVE
EMOTIONS
ARE ALL EMOTIONS OR THOUGHTS WHICH MAKE YOU FEEL LESS THAN YOU
ARE AND DO NOT ENCOURAGE YOU OR OTHERS:

CAN YOU TAKE A COLOR WALK every morning? Once a day? Once a
week? JUST looking at nature, at colors and can you OPEN TO CREATING
in your mind POSITIVE outcomes?

Can you open in your MIND TURNING things you cannot solve over
to higher power?
Can you be willing to be HAPPY and savor moments and stop and
PAY ATTENTION?
Can you each day Take the 3 magic breathes
DAVID POND cd idea? BREATHE IN THROUGH YOUR NOSE
TO THE COUNT OF 4 hold for 7
and then release to the count of 8 with your tongue PUSHING
at the top of your mouth (3 times minimum)

Can you: STOP SIT STILL AND BREATHE.
TURN INTO JOY and good thoughts

Open to GOOD energy and good people and funâ¦
Prepare for joy and be PRESENT and PLAY:
OF COURSE YOU CAN, but are you willing to let go of
the grip of the past? In order to create the future you desire?

IT IS TIME TO repattern ourselves if we are to survive
in the PISCES world which is coming.

Emotions often are exacerbated by chemical massagers
in the Brain. Are you TOO ERRATIC and have problems making PLANS use
LOW CARB foods. HIGH PROTEIN..

Are you Too LINEAR and find it hard to make changes ,
fixed and rigid attitudes EAT CARBS as they feed the part of the
brain which assists you to change¦:

LECITHIN is the magic vitamin. Soybeans, eggs yolks,
legumes, fish..

All of the Vitamin Bâ's are wonderful for us and should be taken daily:
400 mg at night to sleep and reconnect to source

STOP AND SMELL JOY are you USING ESSENTIAL OILS?
15 drops oil to 4 oz of carrier oil then you can use it as a massage
oil

pay attention to how you are FEELING ABOUT THE OIL, if you want to
PUSH away FROM the oil...
GET AWAY FROM IT:

Feeling drawn TOWARDS the oil? , look at what this smell is ABOUT
and recognize you need more of this in your life.

For stress,
Lavender, Calms the heart and blood pressure
Sandalwood is good for sleep and relaxation
Clary sage promotes feelings of well-being, calms nerves,
lifts the mood and diminishes stress

Depression
Jasmine is very good because it is uplifting and soothing
Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, Oranges,
Bergamot relaxes the nervous system and good for anxiety
and uplifting
Neola relieves depression, insomnia, stress and anxiety

NEED Motivation and Energy?
Ginger, quickens and sharpens the senses and helps memory
Rosemary clears the brain and enhances memory
Peppermint energizes

Contact : Sharon Brigance - Ind. Distributor ID#329602
Young Living Essential Oils
https://www.youngliving.org/joyfuloils4u
for information and specifics on oils for yourself..

and with
SATURN INTO LIBRA the 29th Of October? I know this will
bring new people, ideas and so much
more to all of us, get ready for huge changes in your life as
Saturn in Libra asks us to WORK at relationships which are WIN WIN
for all concerned.. have

NO FEAR, no REGRET: With mercury rx. We were re routed
on a detour and as we are in this shadow until 10/14 we shall perhaps
learn the reasons for some of the detours and paths which
we have taken over this last period of time...

. Meanwhile, ACCEPT, be open and non critical with yourself
and begin planting new SEEDS (IDEAS) for self and others.

THE THEME IS be patient and TRUST:
and to let go with the FULL MOON on Saturday so we can be
open to RECEIVING AND BRINGING IN wonderful things with
the NEW MOON October 17th....
