Moon in Aries & Mars in Gemini Square to Saturn in Virgo & Moon Moseys into Taurus on Tuesday (August 10-11, 2009) Hawaiian Tropical Storm

The Hurricane Felicia heading for Hawaii has been downgraded to a tropical storm. There is still emergency- preparedness to anticipate possible changes and for expected flush floods and heavy rains. As a member of the CERT Community Emergency Response Team I have been privy of the concerted efforts of volunteers and government agencies to be prepared for the worst. I must say I am pretty impressed with it! Considering the disaster of the non-organization for Katrina and the experience of Hurricane Iniki hitting Kauai ’92 I think we are well prepared as much as possible.

With the hopefully not devastating effects of Felicia we can consider this a practice run and wake-up call for individual preparedness! I am a strong believer of preparing for the worst and praying for the best. We in Hawaii always have the potential of Hurricanes coming our way as well as earth crust activities around the islands which can result in smaller or bigger earth quakes.

I don’t know about the challenges you might have to face where you live but I believe in any case it is smart to have some kind of emergency set-up. That means extra water, food, batteries, a transistor radio and medications.

The Aries Moon

The astrology of the day is not pointing specifically at any big events. The Aries Moon will be helpful for taking initiative if needed. It will give us inner strength and the willingness to step up to the plate with leadership skills.

Mars in Gemini Square to Saturn in Virgo

The tendency of Mars is to be too impulsive and going overboard will be hold in constraint with Saturn. If we are willing to apply ourselves, to listen and learn, we will be supported by finding the right way and channel for our energy. That is always Saturn’s promise to help you to find a form and appropriate expression for different areas of your life, depending which other personal planet and aspect is touched. Saturn stands for clarity, crystallization, consolidation and organizational leadership. The shadow site is anxiety and fear; blockages in our way. If we are willing to face our fears and feel them we are ready to move on to the clarity and take appropriate action.

Moon Moseys into Taurus on Tuesday: Calming the Spirit

Taurus is the most solid earth sign, relates to the reality of what we can touch and feel with out senses. The Moon in Taurus will help us to feel more grounded after the Aries Moon. This is good for us here in Hawaii after the excitement and upheaval of the storm. We can take stock in an organized way and action where it is needed.

Suggestion for the Day

One of my teachers Ananda Giri has said that one of the highest frequencies and states of consciousness we can have is the state of gratefulness! It does make a lot of sense to me. When I am grateful I am focusing my mind onto what is good and abundant in my life. By doing that I am raising my level of energy and am more connected with my true inner self and the divine nature. I will be more in tune and tapped into that source energy and attracting more of the good stuff into my life! And… it does feel good!!

So why don’t you sit down with that famous journal of yours, I hope I have already convinced you to regularly use, and choose to point your consciousness into the direction of appreciation and gratefulness. You can either let it freely flow through you what you are all grateful for in your life or you can focus onto different areas and work your way through looking at the areas of your family, relationship, friends, work, health, wealth, and living situation.

I feel truly grateful for all the good people here in Hawaii working hard all week to make it as safe as possible for the greater good of all of us. I am grateful to be part of the group of volunteers who are willing to give from themselves for others. I am grateful that the worst of a hurricane is not happening and pray that all will be safe!

I am also sending my prayers and blessings to all people in the world and in China, who are facing hardship and disaster right now.
