Entries from May 2007
So, the last time we discussed Eris we were talking about strife, discord, and chaos; looking for where in our lives those circumstances are showing up.
For me, Eris lands smack in the center of my tenth house which is also populated by an Aries North Node.
Eris in the tenth seems to be showing up by placing me in circumstances where I must ‘publicly’ assert myself in ways that are habitually uncomfortable. Hmm, that deserves a portion of my meditation time.
Today had been March 31, 2007 and I can honestly say that there’s an awful lot of ’strife’ in the world. My observations lead me to believe that the root cause is not Eris, or any other thing that is ‘outside’ of ourselves. Heal the strife within…..

April 9, 2007……thought I’d check in with Eris, the goddess of strife, discord, and struggles. Philip Sedgewick gives the astronomical position of Eris as 20AR46 as of April 2. When you have an orbiting planet/asteroid as far away as Eris is it helps to have some kind of reference/resource to help us understand. The Sabien Symbol for 21AR is ” A Pugilist Enters The Ring”. (I am refering to Dane Rudyhar’s book titled The Astrological Mandala) When Eris reaches 22AR, the forecast lightens up tremendously…..we then get to experience “the gate to the garden of all fulfilled desires.” Wow! Sounds special, doesn’t it? Let’s check back in and see when it’ll reach the twenty-second degree of Aries? …..April 30, 2007……enjoy it while it lasts because in Oct it develops retrograde motion and returns to the stance of the pugilist.
Webster defines the pugilist as: ___________________ (Fill in the blank)
Time passes slowly sometimes. Now it’s May 30, 2007 and Eris hasn’t budged. Continuing strife, discord and chaos……. and I can see the light, too.
Moving thru this kind of Eris energy for decades without end can be really, really, stressful.
May all beings be peaceful.

Sap is flowing once again from root to trunk,
from trunk to branch,
to every leaf
and bud
and blossom
on the tree.
The frozen days are past.
Now is the season of flowering,
when the full force of energy moves up
and up
to manifest its destiny.
It is everything to me,
this new life springing forth
from ash and compost,
this chance to nurture,
weed,
and prune,
to patiently receive the miracle that blooms
as if no force on earth
can turn aside its beauty.

ps……….I’ve been in the garden for days now and nature has rewarded me with a bloom on my clematis vine. Finally!!!

If you have landed on this page looking for information on time & time management you have found it. However, be prepared. You may not find what you expect.
My fascination with time might have started here. It was only a few years after that I came across my first astrology book. That story is here, if you’re interested. It just always made really good sense to me that the sky represented a big clock.
For over 20 years I practiced my skills as an astrologer while working in the real estate industry. I worked as a Broker/Agent, Office Manager, & most belovedly as a Trainer. Time Management was one of my topics to teach to new agents/managers. I always included the cosmic concepts of time and time management as part of the training. I even taught them how to set up their appointments to synchronize themselves with the lunar cycle. Many reported back to me thru the years how helpful my training was and how it continues to help them even today. My time-skills expanded into other area’s of work, quite naturally and effortlessly………of course I was practicing everything that I preached, otherwise, what’s the point?
So, please feel free to float around this blog and discover all sorts of time tips, techniques, and tidbit’s of information. In this post the discussion continues.

Clean out dead things. Flowers, dead bugs, dried out leaves, etc. Let go of what no longer works.
HOWEVER,
only you can decide between what is “dead” and what is simply “waiting to be reborn”

Last week we experienced the Taurus New Moon…….a time for persistance, patience, and tending to the earthly, practical concerns of life. Food. Shelter. Water.
Now it’s time to Do Something….there’ll be time enough later for talking.
Today at 5:02pm EDT the moon will be in a 90 deg. angle relationship with the sun.
DO IT………………. NOW!
You gotta break some eggs to make an omlette.

Om Shanti……………….
ps. I have a great article to post here on the First Qtr. Phase. I’ll try to get to it asap.
