Cosmologically Speaking, the New Moon in Virgo is a fertile time for purging the body, mind and emotions so that we can more effectively access our Spirits. Virgo, the Virgin, is the archetype that has at its very working essence the adage "Cleanliness is next to Godliness." This may be taken quite literally. Bathing, showering not only cleans of the impurities from our skin but also something much more subtle - negative energies that may have attached to the energy fields each of us inhabit. Virgo wakes each day to discover and nurture all that is pure - all that is free from hyperbole and other obscurities. Virgoans know the "real deal" from what is not.
Virgo refers to anything one holds sacred. These areas are kept clean and organized. This is how you can tell what is sacred to a person. All of us have Virgo drives in some area. Something that is relatively unknown about Virgo is that it is considered to be the "Keeper of the Spirit." When I mention this quality of Virgo it often falls on surprised ears. People think the Virgo archetype is only focused on details, analyzing critiquing and organizing them...so how can it be the keeper of the spirit one may ask? When all the details are cleaned up and organized watch how the spirit flows.
Emotionally, this new moon is a time to find ways to release guilt. Virgo's know this emotion all too well. It is an emotion that carries no useful value. It just sits in the intestines, small and large, and blocks flow and feeling. They are the organs that Virgo rules. Take the opportunity to cleanse your intestines and change guilt into constructive action. The small intestines allow us to discern what is nutritious from what is not. I remember my Cherokee French Virgo grandmother taking old clothes and papers and making a big bonfire in her back garden. She seemed to gain great joy from this process of release. Allow yourself, family members, lovers and friends to bring out the dark icky stuff especially if it seems like you or they are going crazy. Once this stuff comes out you/they can radiate the health of their authentic selves. The Virgo archetype so values honesty. It's a good time to have that honest conversation.
The new moon is a potent time to write down your intentions for releasing what is no longer allowing you to connect with your higher consciousness. Start with your mind/body health. Maybe have a look at your Ayurvedic body/mind/emotional type and start eating accordingly. Virgo guides us toward education, mind/body practices such as yoga and qigong, the wisdom of nature...your true nature, selfless service to community and all other forms of self improvement. Saunas, colonics and Native American Sweat Lodges are excellent ways of purging, depending on your state of health. Give yourself the gift of an astrological reading. Although these are Virgoan suggestions it is important to start with what works for you and go from there. The idea is to do what works rather than adding to that guilt list Virgo can so easily create. Remember the Virgo nature is the last developmental archetype in the self awareness dimension before we go into our relationships and out into the world. Cleansing in every way is always a good idea to avoid bringing physical, mental and emotional baggage into a relationship.
Happy Cleansing! Next New Moon in Libra - Relationship time.

FOR ALL HUMANKIND - All for One and One for All
Cosmologically Speaking, today's Full Moon in Aquarius invites us to request that a truth be revealed. Here is my ultimate favorite music in the world. You will recognize it from the film Gandhi. Ravi Shankar arranged and played this ancient bajan - a song with a spiritual theme or idea. It refers to all the names we call God, the purifying union of Sita and Ram, and a request for universal truth. I danced to it at the World Congress on Traditional and Complimentary Medicine in Malaga, Spain in 1991. There were over five hundred delegates from the global community, members of the United Nations, and the World Health Organization (WHO). I was pleasantly surprised that his dance that combined both fierce martial arts and qigong earned me the Saint Georges Cross from the Knights of Malta.
In both my meditation and qigong classes I opened the blessing that one of the most strategic, if not the most strategic universal truths is that we must honor the value, nurturance and power that the most often dismissed role of female and Mother plays in our world. How different would our world be if we celebrated our mothers or even just the Sacred Mother contribution throughout the day and throughout the species. This lacking is the crux of what is wrong with our world. Granted, there are many wonderful wise men who have integrated these gentle nurturing qualities. Bless them! On the battleground who do dying soldiers call for? When a person sneezes in Mexico or other Spanish-speaking countries, the first sneeze receives the blessing of "Jesus" - if there is a second sneeze (because we are supposedly close to death during a sneeze or orgasm) a more potent power is called upon "Jesus Maria." This applies to women who have suppressed their own feminine powers. Chris Williamson sings a beautiful song called See the Beaching of the Whales. In the song there is a line "before they do it for you, you silence your own voice" ... so true of so many women. It is time to find a way through the fear to speak in your own way.
I also site Sri Aurobindo and Satprem's startling book about him entitled Sri Aurobindo or the Adventure of Consciousness. Like the Dalai Lama, Paramanhansa Yogananda, Sri Aurobindo and Satprem defer to the Mother. Even when we have had an unpleasant relationship with our mothers, or an absence of the presence of a mother, it is important at this time to value the role they played. Some men have played the role of mother. It is time to value those brave souls. Bring out a photo of your mother or mother figure. Listen to what she has given you. This is a key to so much emotional blockage. Ironically, we will then have to release what hasn't worked from your mother and enclose what has worked with your ideal mother qualities.
Finally, the Aquarius full moon is about freedom from the past in order to be an exemplary being of the present and future. It is time to release whatever you can that is holding you back from being the loving compassionate human being that you are. Sometimes this means embracing friends closer and releasing those with love who are not in our best interest.
What will you release in order to keep you in the Musketeer spirit - all for one and one for all?
Happy Visioning! Happy Flight!

TAP YOUR REGAL HEART: The Bridge Between Heaven and Earth
Cosmologically Speaking, this New Moon in Leo opens the stage curtains for you as playwright and director to express your heart's desire. This month is all about the spine (integrity) and expression of your heart and soul.
Take a moment to place both palms on your heart - first the left palm, then cover it with your right palm. You may place them directly over your heart or place them in the center of your chest on your heart center.
Feeling is life's magnet. It is the key interface between desire and manifestation - the bridge between heaven and earth.
Take three deep breaths while focusing on your heart. Allow yourself to be present with whatever is there. Ask your heart what it needs. Imagine that you have taken a snapshot of it. Now imagine that you are planting it in the Universe. The Universe is the manifesting mechanism of the Creator. Release it and trust that your need will be met. As many of you know, the Universe responds to our hearts' intent.
Now, I invite you to return to your heart. Place your palms there as before. Breathe in and out three times. Ask it what it wants. Once it tells you. Plant it in the center of the Universe as the center of the Multiverse. Release by removing yourself as you would after you plant a seed in a garden. Sometimes we don't realize how we block ourselves from receiving by standing over the seed rather than stepping away to allow it to flourish. We do this by continuously focusing on what we want and need. The Universe responds to the lightness and vibration of our wishes...both of which are continuous until we grasp. As my poet friend, Ray Gwynn Smith, says, you cannot box a natural source of radiant light. Each of us is one of these sources of light.
This new moon is all about radiating the Sun that burns within your heart and spine. It is about creativity, self- expression, humor, warmth, good will, adventure, romance, love and all affairs of the heart, theater, enterprise, the interconnectedness of life and play. Tune into your favorite way of playing as a child...when you were fully immersed in the play...and the world as we know it disappeared. This way of playing can provide a window into your soul's purpose and career choice. Articulation of your soul on earth is your royal blood. Listening and responding to other hearts is the foundation for leadership!
As Joseph Campbell says "Follow your bliss."
Happy adventures!
