The Moonday Manifestor
February 8th, 2010 | 
Author: Well, I’m delighted to report that I count last week as a total success!
I didn’t get to one of the things I’d intended to see, but I know I’m resisting it, so I guess I’ll have to figure out the why of it so I can move forward.
Before I get into the moon manifesting portion, I wanted to talk a little about why I’m doing this. Why I’m writing this series of posts every Monday (except the one I missed..shh).
This little weekly publication I’m doing is part of my New Years Resolution & Theme Word. This theme word is a fantastic idea I got from my friend Annie. And while I don’t really believe in new years resolutions, there is a goal I wanted to spend time focusing upon in the coming year.
As soon as I read about Her theme word on her blog, I immediately knew what my theme word was. It’s been the theme surrounding my entire life lately. Becoming. What I’m Becoming. Who I’m Becoming. Thing is, I have been, Becoming, for a long time now. It’s just that I can actually identify what I’ve turned into, so now my Becoming is on a much more conscious level.
Which brings me to the resolution part. I’d set a goal on the winter solstice to more consciously walk this path I’ve chosen and allow myself to Become (there’s that word again) the person whom I feel pulled toward being.
This is where The Moonday Manifestor comes in.
This is real for me. What I write. Here in this little publication and in every other that fills my blog. It’s my life and how I feel and what I think and what moves me to write. Right now, the moon moves me.
So as I talk about which house the moon is in and when and what that means to me and how I’m planning my life to take that into consideration, it’s truth. It’s my real life. It’s something that I’m doing to focus myself upon my path and the Becoming of Myself.
It’s a small thing, but it’s an action. It’s SOMEthing. I’m pointing myself in the direction in which I intend to travel. That’s all we really need to do. Know where the end destination is, and then do SOMEthing that points you in that general direction. Then listen to the Universe speak all around you and allow it to move you with the flow.

That beautiful moon entered Sagittarius at the end of last week @ 7:04pm on Saturday and will remain in that house until Tuesday (2-9-10) @ 5:43am when it will enter Capricorn.
My almanac says:
~ Personally ~
Here I am, expanding and growing. Right now as I research my celestial love and plan my life around Her energy, I grow. I’ve been having flights of imagination propped up upon some confidence and it’s been feeling wonderfully.
The business I’d spoken briefly of starting last week didn’t manifest the way I thought it would, but that’s life. Full of surprises. It certainly didn’t fail to manifest, it just wasn’t what I had in mind. But it’s all good because this way is even better. I’m going to continue letting Sagittarius encourage my imagination. Each moment spent imagining my outcome is productive.
And speaking of athletic, I’ve decided to start doing yoga again and had my first stretch of it this morning. Pun intended. I’m feeling like a punny girl today :)

The moon comes into the house of Capricorn on Tuesday morning (2-9-10) @ 5:43am and stays through til Thursday morning (2-11-10) @ 7:39am when it goes void of course until 6:24pm.
My almanac says:
~ Personally ~
Tuesday & Wednesday will assuredly hold responsibilities and obligations for me. I must go to our rental house and spend a good portion of time this week cleaning and painting. These 2 days are looking like the days.
Traditions are also important and being that Wednesday is the day Kris and I get together for brunch and coffee, I’ll be sure to be available for her and plan my obligations around our time together. I have my volunteer time with the second graders @ school Wednesday morning anyway so I guess it’ll be an afternoon of obligation preceded by a morning of giving, kindness, great friends, and good coffee. Sounds like a good day to me!
It’s good to know that these are the things that need my focus most and the Universe not only supports me in what I’m doing, but almost seems to be pushing me in the right direction.
Thursday morning (2-11-10) @ 7:39am the moon goes void of course until 6:24pm. That means chaotic energy and I will be found doing not much of anything. I take it as my resting period. I don’t worry about anything or work toward anything. For all intents and purposes, it is my magical resting period. I allow my life to just Be as it is and enjoy it. Purposefully. Maybe I’ll take the dogs on an outing. With the cold weather of late, we’ve not had many outings.
~ Astrologically ~
Thursday evening @ 6:24pm the moon will enter the house of Aquarius where She will remain until Saturday night @ 11:33pm when She will again VC until 7:23am Sunday morning at which time She’ll enter Pisces. Right before She voids Her course Saturday night, we welcome in a New Moon @ 9:51pm.
My almanac says:
~ Personally ~
Thursday evening through bedtime Saturday night is spent in Aquarius. Habit breaking and abrupt change. Personal freedom and individuality. With that new moon coming in @ 9:51pm, when I wake up Sunday morning, the new cycle will have begun. I LOVE this time of the month.
According to Cafe Astrology *In the sign of Aquarius, friendship, brotherhood, group activities, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, humanitarian efforts, or joining a group will be a strong focus on a personal level. New beginnings*
The “trying something new” and “humanitarian efforts” are the ones jumping out to conk me on the head so they will be my focus from Thursday evening through Saturday. I’ll let you know how that pans out next week!
~ Astrologically ~
Sunday morning @ 7:23am the January New Moon will right Her course and enter the house of Pisces where we will pick Her up again next Moonday.
My almanac says:
~ Personally ~
Sundays are wonderful in my opinion. As a child I was taught to “Remember the Sabbath and to keep it holy” and so I do. Sunday in my home is restful. Enjoyed. I garden and plant and meditate. We might work on our remodel, but that’s still holy. To us at least. It’s not about “out there”. It’s about in here. Us, our family, being together and loving each other and reconnecting to ourselves as much as each other.
Dreaming and nostalgia are naturally on my to-do list for Sundays. My husband and I will sit at the table with coffee talking of days past and manifestations to come. THAT is what I will be doing this Sunday.
We’re also going to be officially initiating a “Family Game Night” for Sunday evenings. We play together a lot, but not as regularly as we used to. I intend to remedy that!

Hello Great Blog World!
I know I’ve been completely missing for a bit now, but it’s been a wonderful interlude for me. I didn’t have fun or travel or party or do anything one might deem a “good” thing. Nope, not me! I sat at home, depressed and miserable. I fought with my husband. I yelled at my kids. Overall, I basically found myself becoming more and more uncomfortable until my boundaries gave and I experienced growth.
Growth is a funny thing. It’s all the same. Physical, Spiritual, personal… You grow as much as you can for the container you’re in. Once you reach the walls of your container, you experience first discomfort, then sometimes pain, and then just when you think you can’t take it anymore…. something gives…. and you break through your walls and you experience growth.
We forget this. We experience it over and over through every stage of our lives and yet we sometimes fail to connect the pain to the growth. Feeling the pain and refusing the growth only causes the pain to continue repeating until the growth can happen.
If you’re in pain, you’re not alone. There’s always someone to reach out to. Luckily for me, I have my girlfriends:) But most importantly, know that you’re just trying to grow… so really, the pain is a good thing. It means you’re alive and here and about to become and even BETTER version of the already pretty fantastic version of You!

I don’t know if all the things I have been going through line up with the houses the moon has been passing through and I considered going back to look. I’m not much of one for looking back though. “Keep moving forward” is one of my favorite things to say, so that’s what I’m going to do. Just keep swimming swimming swimming…
I’ve also decided that I don’t want to jump all that deeply into astrology. I’m Luna Light. I’m all about the moon. I figure, it’s the closest celestial thing to me. It MUST have the most immediate effect. I’m just going to stick with Her.
This week is going to align wonderfully for me. I feel like the Universe is laying out everything for me and helping me to find the time and space I need to find my way and grow. I love this beautiful experience that is life.

*Sunday morning through Tuesday morning*
The moon entered Virgo on Sunday 1-31-2010 @ 8:23am est and will remain in Virgo until Tuesday 2-2-2010 @ 8:42am est.

*My manifestation schedule through Tuesday Morning*
This is fantastic for me because some of the things I’ve really been needing to get in order will be getting overdue attention. NOT the personal hygiene part if anyone wondered! LOL
I’ve been procrastinating like crazy over getting the electric, gas, and water turned back on in our rental and getting that place cleaned up and re-rented. Today I felt inspired to get my ass in gear! I’m also going to be able to take care of what the old tenants still owe while I’m up that way tomorrow scheduling the water turn on and letting the electric guys in.
And speaking of the commands from “higher up”… I’ve become overwhelmed with a passion to start a business. I don’t want to say much about it right now, but in the spirit of the accomplishment of details, I’m going to be finding out about getting the business license tomorrow!
~ Astrologically ~
*Tuesday morning through Thursday morning*The moon will enter Libra this Tuesday (2-2-2010) @ 8:42am est. and remain until Thursday (2-4-2010) @ 4:27am est when it will go void of course until 11:56am est.
My almanac says:
~ Personally ~
*My manifestation schedule through Thursday Morning*I’ll be making calls about my business license in the morning as the moon transits from Virgo to Libra. Both signs are very supportive of my overall goal there so I’ll be moving forward :)
Favoring cooperation, partnership, and the beautification of surroundings! That sounds like I need to make sure we keep moving forward with our master suite remodel. Eeee!!! I’m SO excited about it. It’s nearly done. Another week or two! There was talk of drywall for the ceiling and even insulation and walls to go up! Those are the finals things and we’re IN!
During the “void of course” Thursday morning, I intend to start and DO nothing. Maybe I’ll take a bath and just meditate. It’s empty energy to work in though so even visualizations can be pointless. I like the 7 hour do nothing card.
~ Astrologically ~
*Thursday morning through the weekend*The moon finds Herself in Scorpio on Thursday (2-4-2010) @ 4:27am est where She will stay until Saturday (2-6-2010) @ 11:11am est.
She’ll go void of course from 11:11 until 7:04 pm when She’ll enter Sagittarius and remain until after next Moonday :)
My almanac says:
Sagittarius encourages flights of imagination and confidence. This moon sign is adventurous, philosophical, and athletic. Favors expansion and growth.
~ Personally ~
*My manifestation schedule Thursday morning through the weekend*Thursday nights through Saturday mornings energy for increased awareness of psychic power from Scorpio will have me meditating no doubt! That’s one of those things I’ve been meaning to find time to focus on. This will be the time. I’ll be sure to set aside some time all 3 days that the moon is in Scorpio and let the energy floooow!
All afternoon Saturday during the V/C will be a wonderful time for me to think about rearranging my kitchen. With my new cupboard (thanks to our remodel!) I’ve been meaning to stretch out and expand that kitchen space.
Sagittarius encourages my imagination and confidence and sense of adventure from Saturday night until Tuesday so I’m penciling in time to focus on my ideas for this wonderful new business venture!

The Moonday Manifestor
Good Moonday Everyone!
Here’s me trying my hand at astrology. I’m really loving learning about these things. I know you can find this information virtually anywhere on the net, but I need to find it HERE if I’m going to be learning it.
I started my education by going here to have a FREE birth chart drawn up. If you want to pay $25, you can get a full, 30sumthin page report. I’m starting with the basics, so the free version was perfect for me.
I learned that my sun sign is Aries (which I already knew)… my moon sign is Leo… and my rising sign is Libra. Of course I learned a lot more, but those are the basics and that’s why I’m here.
Disclaimer: I am not a traditionally educated or a professional ANYTHING. All astrological and manifestational musings found here are my personal interpretation of what I see and am learning. It is not in any way to be considered official or professional advice. I am but a simple, Earth and nature based solitary witch learning my path as I go a’walkin’ it. Follow me astutely or blow off every word I say. The choice is yours but I claim no “official” knowledge. All times listed are in EST which is MY time zone.
On Friday, January 15th, last week, Mercury came out of retrograde and began traveling direct again. Mercury in retrograde is notorious for communication and electronic difficulties. I’m delighted to report I’ve had no such luck of my own. If Mercury is strong in your chart, you’ll likely notice more evidence of the retrograde than others, and as Mercury slows and begins it’s direct revolution again, you may continue to notice it’s effects right through until the beginning of February.
On Wednesday, January 13th, last week, Saturn went into retrograde. This means that from our limited perspective here on Earth, Saturn appears to be moving backwards through the sky, just as Mercury was a mere week ago.
One of the places where I’ve been getting much of my learning material is LynnKoiner.com. Here’s what Lynn has to say about Saturn:
Saturn rules the physical and psychological supports, structures and armatures in our life. It produces the rules and regulations by which we guide our lives, our sense of responsibility, and our limitations. It allows us to define boundaries for ourselves by saying NO!
When Saturn is in retrograde, if affects our ability to define our boundaries. It fills us with insecurities that can make us say Yes when the answer should be No. It is said that Saturn in reto is a time for “Re”. Re-evaluate, Re-consider, Re-structure. Re-organize… you get the idea!
That makes THIS period of Saturn in reto PERFECT in my opinion. Here we are in mid January. Eighteen days into our fresh start of 2010. No more making new commitments. No new plans or limits. This is the time to look BACK. What did you resolve for this year? What did you resolve for this month? Is it working? Have you fallen off the proverbial wagon? Now is the time to sit down and re-evaluate your plans and commitments.
Maybe you are feeling pushed and a commitment you’ve begun is just too much. Now is the time to drop it. Look backwards and give yourself some time to RE-consider what it is you’re actually wanting in 2010.
This morning(Monday 1-18-2009) at 1:17am the moon entered Pisces. Pisces is a water sign and water signs are known for their emotional attributes. A moon in Pisces puts our focus on nostalgic ideas and dreaming.
This is REALLY going to work for us with Saturn in retrograde right now. As we’re looking back to RE-evaluate commitments and resolutions, the energy is right for us to be dreaming up better approaches and ideas. But remember, we’re looking back and “RE” ing. No new undertakings.
Moon in Pisces is also a great time to focus on your volunteering and/or charitable occupations and also to focus on Spiritual ventures and activities. Emotion, emotion, emotion.
The moon goes void of course on the 20th(Wednesday) from 1:06 am until 1:36pm, so during this 12.5 hour window, intentions and magic should be avoided as things started when the moon is void of course rarely stick or turn out as you want.
At 1:36pm on this Wednesday(20th), the moon will enter Aries who lacks staying power. Things may line up easily, but will pass just as quickly. That’s okay though because we’re not starting new things right now anyway!
The moon goes void of course again on Friday the 22nd from 2:46 pm until 11:49pm when it will enter the house of Taurus. Taurus DOES have great staying power. Things started with the moon in Taurus not only stick, but tend to increase in their value.
We can’t stick to a strict “no magic” policy during Saturn’s backwards turn through the sky because He’s going to be back peddling all the way until May 30th, 2010! Right now, we ARE in the waxing light of the moon which generally makes this a good time for magic and creation, but be wary. You could be wrangled into saying Yeses when what you’re really meaning is big, fat, Nos.
Don’t become fanciful and let your daydreams and imaginings run away with you. Saturn in retro blocks up our ability to set and create boundaries.
The moon goes into it’s 2nd quarter on Saturday (23rd) morning @ 5:33am, but will remain in Taurus until Sunday when it becomes void of course again at 10:33pm (Sunday 24th) where it will remain until Monday morning.
I intend to follow my own advice this week! I’ve been doing very well with sticking to my new schedule since the new year, but I think there’s room for tweaking. I’ll spend some time for the next few days, focusing on RE-figuring and RE-evaluating my resolutions and new habits. I’ve been DREAMING up some great ideas too!
As a side note, moon in Pisces is said to bring with it increased psychic energies dealing in intuition and impressions. I found myself having the most amazing dreams last night. Keeping a more regular dream journal is something I should RE-consider doing :)
Anyway, while the moon is in Pisces through Wednesday, I want to take advantage of this time and make some phone calls regarding some volunteer work I wanted to get involved in. Seems a perfect time!
Wednesday afternoon through Friday night, I intend to keep to myself and catch up with things at home. Moon in Aries can make people argumentative and AS an Arian, I can vouch for my own argumentative nature and stubbornness. Best to just lay low and enjoy being home.
This weekend I’ll take advantage of the Taurus moons accentuation of beauty and enjoyment to do something fun. Maybe a hike or walk or just a drive through the country to enjoy Mother Earth’s amazing beauty.
And that wraps up my basic introduction to current astrology. I know there’s so much more. Many other houses and planets to consider and explore, but for now, I will keep in simple.
I hope you have a great week! I know I intend to.

Lunar Living ~ New Moon
Who Do You Want to Be?
That’s a question I’ve been asking myself for a few months now. Back in September when I finally embraced the path of a solitary, I began asking myself this question and it’s one of the best manifestation techniques I believe I’ve ever found.
In honor of this first new moon of 2010, I’d like to share this manifestation technique with you so you too may begin to become the person you really want to be. With whatever traits and free of whatever habits. This is your year! Allow yourself to become!
Everyone has a picture of who they WOULD be if given the resources. Or even who they WILL be when they win the lottery and are finally happy (snicker). Sorry, the lotto one always gets me.
Making a clear decision about the person I seek to become has made all the difference in my growth I believe. When I chose my craft name, “Luna”, I also created a BIO of sorts, for her… This witch that I was becoming acquainted with who was bursting right out of me whether I liked it or not. I fabricated her. I made her my ideal.
That’s what I could control. Maybe not the how or the when, but the WHO is all me. I even added in that she lived in clean, organized, and love filled surroundings. The result of that so far has been wonderful!
For the past couple weeks, since New Years Day, my husband and sons have been taking greater care with their dishes and belongings which has been leaving all of my surroundings much much neater and more organized.
Also, the people that I care about in my life have been filled with outpourings of adoration lately. Not putting me on a pedestal or anything ridiculous, but they’ve been very forthcoming with kind and caring words of love and respect. The feelings that you have for them, yourself, and you assume they have for you, but the words that people rarely say…. I’ve been hearing them. It’s been delightful!
You can change your life! You can become whoever you want to become! All you have to do is answer this question. Who do you want to be?
Get a pen and paper or open one of those nifty writing programs that comes on every computer. Write it down. If you could be anyone, any way, who would you be? What would your traits be? What would your life look like?
When I wrote mine, I wrote it in a third person, as though I were describing somebody outside of myself. I’ve added it as a page on my blog and you may read it here. I intend to change the bio as my expectations, passions, and ideas change, but for now, she is who I am/am becoming.
Not a day goes by that I don’t see evidence of everything I wrote becoming my experience. It is blissful.

Lunar Living, Astrology & Magic
I don’t understand astrology much. I believe in it’s power for 1 simple reason. I know beyond a doubt that I am affected by the moon, so why wouldn’t everything else “out there” affect what’s “down here”? I know there’s still much dispute as to whether the moon has an effect on people (full moon lore, legends, and wives tales), but in my own personal experience, and in the end that’s all I’ll ever have, it absolutely does.
I set several “resolutions” for this new year, but over all they can be classified as simply an intention to explore my new Spiritual path. I’ve been constructing my book of light and really allowing the natural witch that was already within me, to come forth and take over my life.
By identifying with the label “witch”, I find I’m letting go of outside thoughts and judgments and allowing myself… giving myself permission even, to become. I’ve been becoming for a while now, but now that I’ve clearly identified it and stepped into it, things are changing… and moving faster. Some people may read that and have no freaking CLUE what I mean by that. For those that got that, it was for you. LOL
Anyway, I’ve been studiously living my life according to the moon cycles for the past year and I find it a rather comfortable rhythm to align with. Very natural. Even my own monthly cycle seems to synch itself up nicely.
In the spirit of taking inspired action, I’ve decided to expand my cosmic awareness to encompass some astrology. I’m not setting out to become a master at it, but in keeping with my “Jane of All Trades, Master of None”, shining reputation, I do endeavor to become adept with it.
So, in honor of my first love, on Moondays I’d like to start trying my hand at an astrology forecast. Not to be confused with a horoscope! It will be a basic introduction (because I’m BEING introduced!) to astrology and astrology in relation to spell casting, intention setting, and manifestation. It will be bits of what the cosmos have to say and snippets of how I personally intend to use the information I’ve gathered to effect change and manifestation in my own life.
Basically, a cosmic road map to what energies are abounding in the week to come and where your (MY!) focus will be most productively spent in relation to manifestation and personal/Spiritual growth, coupled with my own personal ideas and strategies for the coming week because face it, it’s my blog and it’s about ME! LOL
See you Moonday!
