From elizabeth devries:


Friendship, as Georgia O'Keefe says...is like a flower...we need to nourish it, water it and tend to it in order for it to grow and flourish..


Last week I had a nasty fall from Valour...he bucked when I was in a relaxation state and I was thrown onto hard ground...I lay there a while as he galloped off at a mad pace...not knowing if I was o.k. ...



From that moment on people showed up with kindness...the known and the unknown...someone caught my horse and brought him home... an old Mexican man drove me home in his car...chicken soup...magazines...arnica...wonderful sweet and loving calls...while I lay on my back contemplating the end of a period of my life...enforced seclusion and immobility...am not good with the latter as I am such a physical person...



the upshot was that things fell into perspective...a sort of sorting out period in which I gleaned much information about myself.....I was literally forced to "receive" and it was a new feeling...and obviously something I need to embrace and experience...



This Lunar Eclipse which we celebrate tomorrow is a poweful one. It's focus is on tying up loose ends to create the freedom of a new life (moon conjuncting Uranus in Pisces)...and the 22nd of September with a solar eclipse in Virgo at 29 degrees heralds a new direction to our life.



hope you all enjoy this month's column.



with love,

in Spirit,

SEPTEMBER HOROSCOPE



by elizabeth devries



Get ready! On September 7th we experience a lunar eclipse in Pisces. Translated, approximately every six months the Sun, Moon and Earth align in a precise configuration which creates a Full Moon which gives us a heavy dose of „internal‰ medicine. We meet ourselves on the path and have a rare and potent opportunity to graduate to the next level of life experience. During a lunar eclipse, the full Moon gradually dims as it passes through the Earth‚s shadow. Through light being blocked we heavily confront the shadowy parts of our own inner psyche. What needs to be brought to light? With the Full Moon being awakened in the watery Neptunian sign of Pisces we are forced to confront several major issues: illusion - where we are being deceived or may be deceitful - artistry ˆ how we are being creative or non-creative, manipulation ˆare we manipulators or being manipulated, victimization ˆ how we perceive ourselves to be the victim or how victimize those around us, martyrdom ˆ how we allow ourselves to restrict our experience of joy through duty bound sacrifices, and finally, addictive tendencies ˆ to whom or what are we allowing ourselves to be addicted? Concurrent to this eclipse is a conjunction between Uranus and the full Moon in Pisces, both opposing the Sun in Virgo. Get ready to say goodbye to old habits and limiting forms of thought. Embrace change with open arms. The Solar Eclipse on the 22nd kicks us into high gear. We literally can step into a new and grander experience of life∑The New Moon being in the final degree of Virgo impels us to slow down and meditate in order to assimilate and complete an entire segment of our lives∑All in all a powerful month, thus we shall individually focus on these two eclipses throughout the houses and signs.



ARIES: March 21st to April 19th



As the solar and lunar eclipses line up in cadent houses, Arians are reminded in spades to get over the past and step forward into a completely new life. The Lunar eclipse in the 12th house calls you forth to clear out any form of addictive behaviors. Are you physically or emotionally hooked in to an unhealthy situation right now? If so, it is time to step back, use your innate powers of discernment and cut the cords! Although fire rules your soul, many Aries individuals can create illusions around their mate. Your sense of idealism and what you feel it „could be‰∑‰if only ∑.‰ coupled with an overwhelming desire to be in a romantic relationship has cause many of your sign to hang on long after the „ship has sunk∑‰ Often the ship is not even sinking any more∑it is literally out of sight as is that last partner. Move on∑take hold of your life using your great wit and intellect. On the 22nd life literally could start anew. Are you ready?



TAURUS: April 20th to May 20th



Friendships and creative force∑a strange duo and yet the house of friends is also aligned with your deepest most heartfelt hopes and dreams of how best you can serve humanity. Usually we align ourselves with friends of like mind when we choose a humanitarian service. We seek to serve through joining hands with kindred spirits. For you, your path of service literally comes through empathically assisting your „buddies‰ or actively participating in group situations which draw forth a loving response from your heart. While all of this occurs during the September 7th Lunar Eclipse you could desire to tie up some loose ends. You may even reexamine what friendship means to you choosing to drop some relationships which feel too draining or lack a feeling of balanced giving. On the 22nd, the solar fifth house will host the September Solar Eclipse. The question which arises and the endings which are confronted revolve again around bringing in new creative, focused activities. Your creative force is gifted with a remarkable „eye‰ for beauty and a wonderful sense of structure and form. What better time than now to embark on some new projects and set the stage for future endeavors.



GEMINI: May 21st to June 20th



As the Lunar Eclipse brings forth the shadows of the professional angle you need to take a „time out‰ and reassess just how and where you are progressing with your career. Are you feeling vulnerable? On the other hand are you literally „addicted‰ to success, fame or money? Are you pursuing a creative direction? The Virgo Sun in your behind the scenes „home‰ angle draws your focus back towards the subconscious. You feel nudged and literally prodded by your own subconscious need for „inner security.‰ It is the outer world vs. the inner in spades! And what we realize as we stand back from both of these expressions is that they are completely related. The more secure and wise we feel inwardly the less needy we feel to receive the accolades of the public. The more still we become the greater our internal force becomes and we can literally „attract‰ anything. The Solar Eclipse on the 22nd affords you a great opportunity to do some deep housecleaning both physically and emotionally in preparation for a new creative cycle which commences on the 23rd.



CANCER: June 21st to July 22nd



Our Solar Eclipse occurs on the eve of one of the major shifts of the year, the autumnal equinox, bringing forth an even greater impact to the final week of September. For the Cancerian soul it is about communication. How are you communicating? Are you becoming emotionally reactive and using communication in a way which manipulates others? Are you being honest with your words? What is your intention behind your words? One inevitable result of reviewing your form of communication is that your attitude towards events, people and your way of living will gradually change. You will begin to assume more of the qualities of your True Self, your Spirit and it will feel as though you are embracing a more comfortable part of yourself∑.a sense of loving non judgmental Self acceptance. Take time to turn your mind repeatedly to THAT which is the silent spectator within yourself and simply fix it there. The changes will be monumental.



LEO: July 23rd to August 22nd



Leo is a heart based sign. It is a passionate fixed sign. As the Lunar Eclipse calls forth the shadows of the solar house of Scorpio you embrace a deeper sense of connection to your intuition. It is as though you have dipped into the void of your own subconscious and are able to bring forth creative abilities which are tinged with feeling and intensity such as you could not have heretofore imagined. Dive deep this month∑do not shirk the inner work. A Lunar Eclipse in such a house can help you eradicate fears which could have plagued you your entire life. This inward turning is a mental process, an intellectual activity based upon an attitude of self inquiry, but in the stage which will follow there is a yielding up of all thoughts to the intuitive feelings which arise from within∑.The solar Eclipse on the 22nd brings forth a feeling of a new and grander experience of life.∑..a stepping into the new after the cleansing and release of the old. Celebrate your courage∑you have earned this time of repose and renewal.



VIRGO: August 23rd to September 22nd



Happy birthday dear Virgos! It is time to celebrate freedom from the known∑the known being that habitual round of troubling thoughts which continually plague our daily existence. Relationships are highlighted as the Lunar Eclipse powerfully affects the shadow side of relationship. Perhaps you need to examine just how you allow yourself to be lost „within‰ relationship to the point of becoming addicted to the approval or love of your partner. One way to view the shadow self with utter clarity is to make it a practice to meditate each morning upon arising. As your Mercury ruled sign is basically inundated with thoughts, meditation will create a current of spiritual wisdom and strength which will flow beneath the whole of the day‚s activities and thoughts. Whatever you then do will be done correctly∑.whatever decision you must reach will then be the right one because it will stem from the fruit of calmer, deeper thought. With eclipses following you throughout the month this year promises to be noteworthy and full of positive change∑



LIBRA: September 23rd to October 22nd



Librans have a difficult time grappling with their shadow∑the reason being that the desire for equanimity, balance and a desire to placate or please others often overrides their fiery soul and innermost aspirations. Oftentimes others close to the Libra will act out their fire for them while the Libran gazes in amazement at expressions of anger or outrage not realizing that such behavior could have been triggered by their own passive-aggressive proclivities. The full Moon affords you a terrific opportunity to delve into your own psyche and address old feelings or pockets of resentment which have never been able to surface. By taking time out for self examination you will find that you feel more internally balanced, cleansed and ready to begin a new experience of life. The Pisces Moon rides through your house of discernment and inner healing∑What better time to have a healing, a massage, acupuncture or simply to get out of the mind and „into the body‰ through engaging in some strenuous physical activity. On the 22nd the Solar Eclipse lights up your „behind the scenes‰ house∑bringing to a close another solar year for you as you step into your birthday energies on the 23rd.



SCORPIO: Octobr23rd to November 21st



The juxtaposition of the 11th and 5th houses affected by the Lunar and Solar Eclipses brings into focus two aspects of your life∑personal love and creative force versus a universal sense of how best to serve humanity. The Pisces Full Moon in your house of creativity (and love affairs!) nudges you forward to explore the happier side of life. Have you been too much focusing on the lives of others and in some way feeling responsible to „fix it?‰ One of our major lifelong lessons is to learn how to set ourselves free and in turn to turn everyone free around us. Are you still pining over an old relationship? The 29 degree New Moon (Solar Eclipse) in Virgo pushes you to live in an „out with old in with the new‰ fashion. Put old ghosts to rest and get on with the next stage of your life. Your intensity will best serve you through dispersing your capacity to love into many venues rather than heaving a monumental amount of expectation onto one person and then feeling disappointed afterwards.



SAGITTARIUS: November 22nd to December 21st



The most beautiful thing about the Sagittarian soul is that it continually aspires towards greater and greater spiritual self discovery. In Los Angeles the discovery of a new „star‰ is hailed through the press as a great event, but the Sagittarian knows that the discovery of the spiritual self takes place in utter silence, without the world‚s praise or its printed record. This month the eclipses light up two opposing houses∑the professional angle and all that the career entails and the house of the subconscious mind∑..the workings of the thoughts which go on beneath the surface of our conscious being. Take time for much inner quietude and you could be astonished at your success in the „outer‰ worlds. It will flow towards you effortlessly the more you attend to your inner work∑almost like a river of peace flooding in which becomes the attractor of all that your heart desires. The planets bless you mightily right now if you take the time to rest with your Inner Being.



CAPRICORN: December 22nd to January 19th



A month of deep psychological introspection as the Solar Eclipse hits your solar ninth house. Translated? The house of Sagittarius is often associated with deep brooding self reflection∑a sort of birth/death experience∑the old being heartily cleansed in order to make way for the new. What is going on in your life? Are you truly finding inner happiness? If not take time to expunge old fears, old resentments or thought forms regarding limitation. If you take the time you could pave the way for a wonderful new experience of life. The Lunar Eclipse illuminates your solar house of communication∑Examine how you relate to others. A lovely gift of new opportunities could become available; opportunities which help you to achieve new levels of monetary success. You have worked hard. It is a time of reaping the benefits of your past efforts. Relax and enjoy!



AQUARIUS: January 20th to February 18th



Uranus and the Full Moon Lunar eclipse in Pisces intensify the less defined parts of your value system bringing forth an opportune time to examine your ethics and just how you approach life on a day to day basis. Take time to probe into the mysterious recesses of your mind. Seek out just what it is you really wish to accomplish. As the month progresses you will find yourself diving deeper and deeper as you penetrate the intentions behind your actions. When you reach a place where the mind becomes still, then and only then will you be ready to step forward into a new experience of your life. Where thinking cannot go, something else arises and leads us on. Your rational Aquarian mind provides you with a splendid instrument with which to comprehend life but it is a mistake to think that this is the only instrument available to you. Meditate and you will „know‰ beyond thinking.



PISCES: February 19th to March 20th



As the Lunar Eclipse exposes the shadowy parts of your own nature one question above all else plagues the Piscean soul∑.are you being honest with yourself? Neptune ‚s child can be lost in endless worlds of illusion and delusion. Not only is it hard for all of us to penetrate the veils of understanding when it comes to others; but most of all we must clear out the debris which separates us from our own personal truth and sense of „true self‰∑.who we authentically are. With the Sun passing through your house of committed partnership the answers may come most readily and clearly from your mate∑from the one who challenges and knows you at the deepest levels∑the one who has seen you through the worst of times. Pisces are being hammered by Uranus to „change‰∑to change their attitudes, their approach to life, to how they treat others. This is a potent and life transforming time. Avail yourself of these winds of change and a whole new life awaits you∑.a life filled with joy and new opportunities.

Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small it takes time - we haven't time -

and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.
