I always get a kick out of discovering the correlations between events in my life and the astrological equivalent in the skies. It makes me feel connected with the motions of the universe in a meaningful way. I become a conscious part of the bigger picture and I just enjoy that.

In astrology we look at many relevant aspect connections between the planets in your personal chart as well as in the actual daily astrology. This article is an astrological discussion and forecast of the planetary weather in the heavens for September 7 to 9, 2009. If you have the same specific aspect connection being active in the heavens as in your own personal chart you will experience similar things I am describing. Like if you have Moon in Aries in your personal chart you will be able to relate to what I describe here today in an even more profound way.

Yesterday I had my Circle of Writers group meeting and I could really feel the Aries energy charging us up. We are 5 terrific women who get together every 2 weeks to share our work and support each other. It is like a master mind group and an enormous asset to have in my life. Writing is a solitary profession and I spend most of my time at home and in front of the computer. For me to have my circle is just wonderful. It is so inspiring to watch each other going through the process of writing and publishing our books.

The Moon in Aries
Yesterday we had an especially exceptional meeting. We had so much energy going on, so many ideas to share with each other it felt like we were on a whole new level. It was the most energetic meeting we ever had and that is Aries energy for you!

Aries is a powerful symbol of new beginnings, energy, light, and creativity. People born under the sign of Aries may be destined to be great leaders—if they can keep their aggression and tendency to dominate others in check. Aries must always be undertaking new projects, especially creative endeavors, to keep their high energy occupied and flowing. They are extroverts and tend to be very impulsive and initiative. Their challenge is to learn guiding their energy into proper channels.

The Moon in Aries will give us impatience and things will not move fast enough. We might have a shorter fuse then usual and easier to irritate or pick a fight. But it also gives us this fresh energy, motivation to start something new and put all our energy towards our goal. There is decisiveness and power available to really take action steps towards our dreams and create a new future.

Aries and their many Ideas
Aries is a very self confident initiator and warrior. There is no self doubting but the willing application to move and manifest in the physical realm. Always the first step of any manifestation process is the conception of an idea, and then the clarity of intention and the last step is the action we take for implementation.

For me the action part helps me to become aligned emotionally with my goals and I am enjoying the journey more and more. I used to get hang up with not being already there where I wanted to go. But I have learned to be in the moment and enjoy myself there and so can you.

The creator of Law of Attraction Abraham Hicks talks about three steps for manifestation.

1. First we have a specific desire
2. Then we released it to the universe into that creative potentiality
3. To receive the manifestation of our desire in our life we do need to be energetically in alignment with it. We have to keep focused on where we want to go instead of the deficiency of that we want to manifest. Wherever I focus the universal manifesting energy will follow and flow. This is where our power lies.

-If you will simply imagine your life as you want it to be, all cooperative components will be summoned. And even more important, all components that are summoned will cooperate. It is Law. The experience that you have with others is about what you evoke from them.—Abraham Hicks

Take a Moment for Yourself
Today the Moon position is great for you to get your process of manifestation rolling. Write down your next dream project you want to manifest in your life. Write down why you want that dream in your life. What will it give you? How does it feel to be there? Get excited about it. I really like you to approach this from an emotional standpoint. Your emotions will carry you towards it and make you feel good along the way.

Remember every journey starts from where you are. But to reach your destination you need to have a clear picture of where you want to go and keep your compass on it. If you like to learn more about the process of manifestation I recommend the books of Abraham Hicks. I have all of them and enjoy their teachings very much. They resonate with my own experience and I know them to be true.

Crystal Quartz as a Tool to help you Manifest
I am a gemstone lady as you might know. I love to beauty and the use of the metaphysical properties of gemstones in my life. I use them in meaningful soul jewelry, for meditation purposes, as objects of beauty on my shelves and altar and as an anchor to help me manifest my dreams. When you have done the work of becoming clear of your goal, charged yourself with the supporting emotions you can then download the emotional thought forms into a crystal. You can charge your crystal the following way.

• Hold the crystal in between both hands. Take some deep breath and become aware of the energy field of the crystal between your two hands.
• Then focus intently on your vision, intention, or goal. Imagine in it powerful clarity, as if you really were already experiencing the goal accomplished. Feel the strong emotions of success and fulfillment associated with your goal. Fill yourself with that energy. Maybe imagine it with a specific color penetrating your whole body and each cell.
• Then release the image of your goal with a sharp breath out and store that energy burst into your stone.

Now you will be able to activate your vision any time by simply taking the crystal into your hand and reconnect with the thoughts and emotions you have stored in it.

Moon in Taurus
After you have done the work of getting clear about your intentions, setting your emotions into motion with the Moon in Aries, you will have the Moon in Taurus tomorrow, supporting you with further steps of implementation and practical steps and measures.

Taurus people are very much in tune with the earthly plane. Due to the influence of Venus, they have a great love for beauty found in all areas of live and things such as art, jewelry, and nature. Taurus people are loyal, patient, stubborn and deliberate in working toward their goals, just as farmers must be in tending their crops from planting through harvest. When a Taurus person undertakes a project, it most likely will be completed! Grounded in reality and the physical world, they excel at any profession because they just take one step after the other till they arrive at their goal.

I wish you much fun with the process of creation and hope you enjoy yourself.
