Supermoon

This Saturday’s full moon on May 5th will be the largest all year. This is because the moon is at it’s perigee meaning it’s closer to the earth than any other time in it’s regular orbit. The moon’s orbit is more of an ellipse so at certain times the Moon is actually closer to the earth than other times. You may see a full moon on Friday, Saturday and Sunday that is 14% larger and as much as 30% brighter than other full moons of the year.

In Astrology the moon represents what we need to feel safe, happy and fulfilled. When those needs aren’t met we can go a little crazy and for that reason the full moon is associated with a time of madness. But rather than getting mad this month, instead look to find new ways to satisfy your needs. If your needs are satisfied often that positive feeling will spread to family and friends. Here’s a quick list and a few ideas.

Are things not happening quick enough? If you’ve been waiting for other people to take an action to get things rolling see if there isn’t some action you can take yourself to move things along.

Are you feeling financially insecure? Do a little inventory of what you have (full pantry, a nice TV, a car that runs) and an inventory of your talents (your accounting degree or your handyman skills, your ability to cook or your rapport with people) and you’ll feel better in no time.

Are you feeling lonely? This is a perfect month to try a new social or business group. Meetup.com lists about 1500 meetings happening in the area each week. Try something you haven’t done in a while like bowling, a photography class, or yoga at the beach.

Finally take a few minutes this weekend and gaze at the moon. It is a marvelous sight. And this month it will be even more spectacular.

More Mercury Retrograde Things to Do and Things to Avoid

Mercury retrograde is back and causing its usual havoc. It will be retrograde between March 12th and April 4th. I’m often asked what’s okay to do on a retrograde. Here are few additions to my ongoing list of do’s and don’ts for the retrograde.

Breaking Up – breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend is a painful shock. When it occurs for the first time during Mercury retrograde very often you will have an opportunity to get back together to try to work through the issues. However, if the issues persist then on a future Mercury retrograde you could break up again and stay apart.

Fertility Treatments – if you’re begining treatments then the retrograde is not the best time. Retrogrades cause us to repeat actions and so it will take more than one treatment for success. However if you have already started the process than it’s fine to continue during the retrograde.

Changing Stock Brokers – when dealing with anything that requires agreements and lots of paperwork Mercury can throw a wrench into the process. If you need to change brokers during a retrograde make sure you make copies of anything you sign and double check that electronic transfers go through. Also note that you may want to change brokers again on a future retrograde.

Buying a Car – because Mercury rules cars buying a car during Mercury retrograde can be very problematic. If you must by a car during this period consider what warranties the dealer offers. If you’re buying from a private party take particular care to make sure the title is transfered properly.

Foot Problems – Mercury retrograde can bring back symptoms from previous injuries. When foot problems surface it’s a reminder to go back to caring for feet with good shoes and foot massages. If this is the first time the pain has been a problem take particular care of your feet or the pain may return on future retrogrades.

Buying Cookware – while Mercury retrograde does affect appliances it doesn’t affect kitchen items like pots, pans, plates and utensils. Giving yourself a new soup pot or frying pan during Mercury retrograde is a good thing. It will inspire cooking in the house at this time and again at the next retrograde period.

Traveling Out of the Country – while in retrograde time you can travel however Mercury can cause you to misplace important papers like passports. If traveling on the retrograde consider one of those security passport wallets.

Making a Mistake at Work – there’s never really a good time to make a mistake at work but when Mercury is retrograde we have opportunities to review areas of our life where we may need to pay more attention. Often when you make a mistake during Mercury retrograde you will be given a chance to remedy the situation. If you don’t, the problem will return on a future retrograde.

There is a great booklet on Mercury Retrograde written by a friend of mine, Diane Ronngren.

The Story of the Kitchen God

If, for some reason, you missed New Year’s you have one more chance to celebrate. Chinese New Year falls each year on the New Moon between January 19th and February 23rd and this year it’s happening on January 23rd. It’s a great day for clearing out the clutter of the last year, setting your intentions for the new year and doing activities to bring luck, love, fortune and good health.

There’s a story connected to one of the Chinese New Year’s traditions. It’s said that a rich farmer named Zhang left his devoted wife for a young and greedy mistress. Soon the excessive indulgences of Zhang and the mistress exhausted all his wealth. Seeing he had no more money the mistress left him and Zhang became a homeless begger. He wandered through his village so weak from starvation that one day he collapsed in front of a small house. When he awoke hours later in the garden there was a feast before him. He ate and days passed and every morning he woke to the most wonderful food in front of him. Now feeling nourished and healthy again and feeling such gratitude he wanted to thank his benefactor and so he snuck into the kitchen of the small house. There he recognized his wife and he was so ashamed he jumped into the hearth and fire. His wife tried in vain to douse the flames but Zhang’s ashes flew up to the heavens.

It is said that this tale was told to the Jade Emperor who declared that Zhang would be “the kitchen god”. Many Chinese families have a paper image of the kitchen god in their kitchen. A week or so before Chinese New Year they smear honey on the lips of the kitchen god so he will give a good report of them. They burn the image to send his spirit to heaven. And then on New Year’s eve they hang a new image of the kitchen god to watch over the cooking and household budget for the year.
