I know. This is not the new moon.
But I'm going with it anyway.

What we're all going through ...
Personal focus ---> What long-term goals are you working on now? What is your vision for the future? How do you intend to improve your life's conditions in the coming year? How can you apply some of these ideas to improve life "for everyone" ... especially the people around you? What new and radical ideas present themselves when you ask The Divine Source for direction and help?

Ideas, communication, information ---> Thinking way outside the box is easy for you this month. It may become your natural hang-out. Brilliant ideas are ready for harvest ... some of them way too large-scale and ambitious, maybe. You may have to watch how much and how far you commit yourself -- at least in the short term.
Agreements that seem manageable at first will grow into more work (but also more profit potential) than you first realized. The moment you feel you have to stretch to take on one more commitment, one more project, one more responsibility ... you're already on shaky ground. Seriously, for the next few weeks try to take on less, not more.
Things that are easy-peasy at first glance can balloon overnight ... and with this energy around, they will. But, you will also collect inspirations for a more liberated life. Don't dismiss anything outright. Pay attention to these possibilities -- and what your mind is telling you.

Relationships ---> The focus this month in your relationships and other close associations is on intimacy, privacy, healing, support and tolerance. An extremely idealistic mood takes over this month, one that encourages you to apply all your most selfless, spiritual convictions in the way you treat other people ... as a gesture of love and acceptance for yourself and the rest of those in your world.
In fairness, however, other people may not cooperate in this effort -- or make it easy for you to maintain your patience -- despite your resolve to be a kinder, more accepting person.
Money ---> Your charitable inclinations are in high gear, which makes you a soft touch for the right hard-luck story. Be aware. You may be a prime target for con-games and people who don't really deserve your generosity. On the other hand, genuine compassion and caring support for someone who needs to heal and recover from recent or significant injuries could use your investments now. Be especially kind to yourself -- and your loved ones. Charity does begin at home ... and you can't give away what you don't have yourself.

Action ---> This is an extraordinary energy for any kind of creative work or hobby that is a regular part of your life. Your imagination is turbo-charged. But the downside to this, for the moment, is that you don't want a lot of interference, oversight or meddling from outside sources. You are working on projects and ideas you want to keep to yourself. For some reason secrecy is important to you.
Maybe you just want to see how things pan out before you reveal your efforts in public. Maybe there are darker reasons behind your insistence on privacy. Anonymity may be important, too. Either because you don't want open credit for your good deeds and generosity ...or because you don't want to own up to something unkind that you've chosen to do. (Remember, energy runs on a two-way street. These things could also be happening to you!)

... and doing more by learning more
and vice versa
Expansion ---> You're involved in a lot of new growth and new ideas ... all of which are part of the foundation for this "new life direction" I've talked so much about lately. There are plenty of learning experiences on your agenda this year.
Many contain the theme of "what we can accomplish by working together." Many involve reworking old lessons into more modern versions of their help and wisdom. Some involve discarding beliefs that no longer suit your future goals ... so better ones can take their place. Be aware of how much new education is part of your life now. You are preparing for another large step up on the journey of your evolution.
If you've always known there was more to Astrology than Sun Sign material and the three line daily horoscope in the newspaper, climb aboard and follow this blog. You'll find a world of wisdom detailing how you were designed to work with life ... and why you are the way you are -- all in quick-to-read, easy-to-digest-and-remember, written-in-plain-English essays that offer plenty of food for thought.
Little by little, I'm doing a set of articles that talks about all the elements in your horoscope and what they have to say about you. If you "know something" about Astrology -- or know something about your chart placements, that will help you get more from this material.
If you don't ... well, this is one place you can learn. We all have to start somewhere ... because we aren't born knowing this stuff. Meanwhile, if you've never seen your horoscope ... and don't have a clue how to work with it, maybe it's time to find out. There are lots of "chart services" on the internet -- some of whom produce decent, readable charts "for free" and some are so awful and confusing that even I can't read them easily -- and I've worked with charts for decades.
One extremely user-friendly chart site is here: AstroLabe. I recommend them if you want a simple, easy-to-read chart. I think they even give a reasonable little interpretive reading of your horoscope as part of the package. You'll need to know your birth information -- day, month, year, time and geographical place. Without all that your chart will have limited accuracy.
Or, if you want to get serious and really talk about this, upvote this post and start a conversation in the comments section sometime in the next six days from the time of publication. We'll go from there depending on what you want to know.
Questions about any of this? -- Upvote this post and talk to me in comments. It's a terrific way to build value for yourself and the community ... and it will give me ideas of what to write about in future posts. Believe me there is lots to say about the way The Sun, The Moon -- and all the other elements in a horoscope, all the other components of Astrology -- work together to interpret you and your story -- and what it all means to the person you've become.
Although sometimes the background pictures in our visual essays support the topic and text, they don't always. Sometimes the connection is clear. Sometimes it's symbolic and subtle. Sometimes, there's no connection at all.
The scenes depict landscapes and natural features, buildings and wildlife. They were chosen because they show something lovely or interesting ... or simply because the photo appealed to me.
Our spectacular and remarkable planet is changing at astonishing speed. Rarely are these changes for the better. Few people seem to know ... or care ... or have the will and power to do anything about this. It may not be long before the world humans have known and lived in for centuries is forever lost. We certainly won't be able to make repairs as fast as we destroyed it.
So a few years ago I began collecting pictures of the way things were ... and still are for now, a record of the beauty we have while it is still ours to love and honor.
The photos here are part of that collection, with sincere thanks to the artists who saw these moments ... and with their cameras ... preserved them. All of us at Enchanted Spirit are profoundly grateful to them for their generosity and skill ... and for the added grace, depth and dimension their art brings to ours.
