Blog Believe

Word of the Week

I've been hashtagging the word Believe for the past few weeks because of all the words in my dictionary I think this is the most powerful.  American Heritage defines Believe as follows: to accept as true or real and to have firm faith.  This word asks too much of us at times, asks that we believe when hope is gone and the reason to live has been crushed.  Believing isn't for everyone, if it was, believing would be easy.  

There is magic in this word, a simple, undefined sort of magic that lifts wilted spirits and brings us together in the darkest of times.  If for one day we could all believe, just one day, then perhaps it could be the beginning of a new trend, a new kind of hashtag for the planet.

Tweet believing, facebook believing, any kind of social media believing but do it, play it forward, believe.  Wake up on the twenty-fifth of December and make your first affirmation one word: BELIEVE.  See what happens next...

Blog what you see, feel, think, hear, say and believe.

Blog a Lunar Eclipse

Word Wednesday

Two words: Lunar – of, involving, caused by, or affecting the moon.  Two words derived from lunar: lunacy and lunatic.  Strange?  Not really, in astrology the moon is symbolic of the ebb and flow of our emotions, some of us are more fluid than others and still more are deeply affected by the cycles putting our sanity to the test once a month.

Eclipse: the partial or complete obscuring of one celestial body by another or, and including, the period of time during which such an obscuration occurs.  Today-Word Wednesday-there is a Penumbral Eclipse of the Moon in the sign of Gemini at 9:46am eastern standard time.  This eclipse is visible in Europe, eastern Africa, Asia, Australia, the Pacific Ocean and most of North America.  It will last or be obscured for a little over 4 hours. 

This phenomenon follows the Total Eclipse of the Sun experienced two weeks ago November 13-14. That lasted about 4 hours as well.  Symbolically for the sun’s obscuration, hours equate to years of an effect on the universe and the moon’s loss of light equals months.  So if you feel a bit crazy and tend to use words and gestures during emotional highs, expect that exaggeration to continue through March.  This applies more to folk born around late May and to those fortunate enough to have their moon in an early degree of Gemini.  Communication will be paramount and you will use any means possible to get your point across or connect with others, go viral! Check out gooddaysnodays on twitter for a daily look at what is happening.

The sun’s totality occurred in the sign of Scorpio.  Be mindful over the next four years of what happens behind closed doors-where there is no light.  Secrets and deceit can fester and grow.  Look for the cracks or the key to opening up closed minds and buried treasure. 

On a personal level this affects folk born around the 4rth-10^th of November and of course anyone else who has heavy Scorpio early degree moon or planets.  The universe will hold its secrets and keep us in the dark for the next four years.  This is not Dr. Doom speaking just a way of raising awareness and staying in the light, being present and in charge, and of remembering who you are and what you are and to get a Gemini person blabbing about it!!!
