Three Day Emotions

Many years ago I began to notice that sometimes I'd feel angry or depressed or happy or energized for days at a time. The emotions often had no direct relation to anything in my life. It was quite curious.

Some time after this profound discovery, I had another. It was that these emotional periods typically lasted for three days. Now I was getting somewhere.

Right now you're probably thinking, "It's probably Manic Depression." or what's more politically correct now, "Bipolar Disease". It was not.

It was the moon.

A couple of years ago I took an astrology class given by Carol Barbeau in which she taught us about the phases of the moon and how they can affect us.

For those of you who think astrology is bosh, you know how the moon can affect the tides, right? Well, people, we're over 70% water. Don't you think it's possible the pull of the moon might also have some affect on our internal tides?

Carol noted that the moon changes astrological signs every three days. Every three days! Just like my emotions! There had to be some connection here. As she continued in her teachings it became glaringly obvious that I was definitely being affected by the changes in the moon. Sometimes it was more obvious than others, but nonetheless, the moon was pulling my emotional strings like it was a puppeteer and I was Pinocchio.

Now when I'm mystified by emotions that have no obvious cause, thinking that has no connection to my current circumstances, and physical energies that don't make sense, I know it's just another three day moon phase.

Carol recommended we purchase a calendar with moon phases on it, which I did and am ever so grateful for her suggestion. It's a great relief to know that my intense desire to clean out closets and throw unused stuff away isn't permanent and has nothing to do with my mother's genes. The urge will go away just as soon as the moon moves out of Virgo.

Here's a list of the twelve astrological signs and my brief interpretations of how the moon might influence you when it's in each of them:

• Aries The first sign in the zodiac, the energy of this sign is hot and fiery, wanting to burst forth much like the birth of a baby. Like a baby, Aries can be very focused on the needs of self. This is a good time to start a project that you've been wanting to do for yourself. You may feel like a child, jumping up and down wanting to get moving. Or you may feel like screaming and throwing a tantrum.
• Taurus This energy is almost the opposite of Aries. It's very slow-moving, ponderous. Taurus is a very earthy sign and relates to material things. It's a good time for planting things, such as money in an investment. You might find yourself wanting to rest and just set a spell as you caculate all your wealth.
• Gemini Ruled by Mercury, this sign is all about mental activity. Typically during this period you'll find ideas coming fast and furious, your wit supremely sharp, and answers to problems being obviously clear. When the moon moves out of this sign, you'll wonder if your brain went on vacation to Tahiti.
• Cancer This sign is ruled by the moon, so it's typically a very easy-feeling energy. Cancer is focused on home, so prepare to suddenly notice that the drapes in the living room need to be replaced and the furniture just doesn't seem to be in the right places anymore. In extreme cases, it could mean that your current home doesn't fit and you want to move. Keep your favorite Realtor's card handy, just in case.
• Leo The animal for this sign is the lion, and it loves to open it's mouth wide and roar, just to get the attention of everyone. Nobody loves to be on stage like a Leo. During this period you may have a sudden yen to start your own radio show, host a party, or dye your hair green and spike it. If you can just hold out for three days, it'll all be over.
• Virgo This is the sign of Mr. and Mrs. Tidy. If you rarely can see the top of your desk under all that paper and stuff, that rare time is probably when the moon is in Virgo. It's actually okay to give in to those bursts of desire to organize your computer files, clean out your clothes closet, or rent a dumpster and shovel out the back of your car.
• Libra The glyph for this sign is the balancing scales, and it pretty much describes the energy of Libra. When the moon is in Libra, it's a time of balancing between choices, deliberating on the options, and examining the issues ad infinitum until Analysis Paralysis sets in. Don't fret. It'll be over in three days or so, when you can once again get on with your life.
• Scorpio The notorious sign of passion, this energy can be very high vibrationally or it can be dark energy. Scorpio is the only sign with two animals - the eagle and the scorpion. One flies high and one crawls on the earth. Don't think you're going zonkers because your thoughts and emotions flip back and forth during this three day period. Use all the deliberation you just went through with the Libra moon phase to direct your energy as you want it. Don't let the scorpion sting you... fly high with the eagle.
• Sagittarius Like Aries, Sag energy is fiery, but in this case it's not very focused. Scattered all over the galaxy more aptly describes this energy. It's lots of energy everywhere. You may find yourself making 871 plans for the rest of your life. Sag is ruled by the planet Jupiter, the planet of expansion, so whatever ideas or plans you have during this phase will likely grow to gargantuan proportions. It can be handy for goal setting - if you don't first suffocate under that giant pile of notes you've just created with all your grandiose plans.
• Capricorn Workworkworkworkworkwork. That's Capricorn in a word. You may find yourself rolling up your sleeves and tackling work you've been avoiding since the last Capricorn moon phase. You may even work on some of the ideas you had during the Sag moon.
• Aquarius Ahhhh, a resting place after all that intense energy of the previous month or so. Aquarius is philosophical and this moon phase is an excellent time for cool reflection about the happenings during all the past moon phases. You may find yourself dispassionately viewing things from an overall perspective. This is a good thing, since some of what you see in your retrospect may be not be an Andy Hardy movie.

That wasn't so bad, now. Was it? The fun part is that you get to do it all over again.

Love,
Kathy

pps. Today, June 16, 2010, the moon is Void of Course, which means it's not moving. It's in Nowhereland until this evening, when it moves into Virgo. Happy cleaning!!

"Excellent clarification of all methods and levels of psychic crafts discussed." - Colleen White, Unicorn Books

Essential Oil of the Month

Vetiver®

Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanoides) has a heavy, earthy fragrance similar to patchouli with a touch of lemon.

Vetiver oil is psychologically grounding, calming, and stabilizing*. One of the oils that is highest in sesquiterpenes, vetiver was studied in clinical tests by Dr. Terry Friedmann and found to successfully treat ADD and ADHD in children. Vetiver may help when coping with stress and to recover from emotional trauma and shock.

It is antiseptic, antispasmodic, a relaxant and circulatory stimulant. It's used to treat arthritis and rheumatism, as well as for skin care (oily, aging, acne, and wrinkles).

Personal Stories
Whenever one of my joints begins to complain with pain, I put a drop or two of vetiver on it and within seconds I can feel warmth spreading into the area. In fifteen minutes, the pain is lessened or completely gone and I can freely move again.

I shared vetiver with a friend of mine who had been wearing a brace on her hand because of rheumatoid arthritis. Within a few minutes after the apllication of two drops, she was pain free. She hasn't worn her brace since, even while working at her job as a waitress and carrying heavy plates.

One of my classmates at Tai Chi has been experiencing great pain in her shoulder and is facing possible surgery. I shared vetiver with her and she spread a drop on her shoulder. At the end of class she was moving almost normally, instead of holding her arm like a broken wing. She said she was going to put another drop on her shoulder and take another class right after ours!

Additional suggestions of how to use it:

• Directly inhale the aroma from the bottle for fragrant influence*
• Diffuse* (always use a cold or misting diffuser)
• Apply 2 - 4 drops on location

Young Living oil is steam distilled from the leaves and stems of 100% organic plants. There are no chemicals used in the processing of the plants. Nor are there chemicals or other ingredients added to dilute or damage the natural healing properties of the oil.
