ART: O. LIE

We start of the New Year with a New Moon in Capricorn! A SuperMoon with some strong aspects at play calling us to activate and unearth that which has been lying dormant within.

There will be 5 SuperMoons this year. This one and another on January 3oth,  both New Moons, and the other three will be Full Moons. Here is the scoop on SuperMoons, EarthSky.org says:

“The term supermoon didn’t come from astronomy. We used to call them perigee… ‘near Earth.’ An astrologer, Richard Nolle, is credited with coining the term supermoon. He defines them as:

. . . a new or full moon which occurs with the moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth.

“By this definition, a new moon or full moon has to come within 361,863 kilometers (224,851 miles) of our planet, as measured from the centers of the moon and Earth, in order to be a supermoon.”

So here are the MYSTIC MAMMA Astral Insights for this first NEW MOON SuperMoon of 2014,  from the most tuned in readers of the stars…

First from Dipali Desai and her Celestial Space Astrology:

“The earth element is strongly featured for the first New Moon of the New Year. The New Moon is in Capricorn at 11 degrees which suggests having a fresh fertile soil within the subconscious so the new ‘symbolic seeds’ are planted for the year ahead.

“But first one has to prepare the soil through clearing it out and adding new nutrients to it. Remember, there is no rush with Capricorn, patience and timing is utmost important…”

“Capricorn is an earth element, cardinal mode of energy, so it is highly dynamic and has the potential to be excellent at management, organization and delegation…

“The New Moon in Capricorn’s themes are letting go and paving the way for rebirth and aligning with quality and integrity…”

“The climb to the top of the symbolic mountain may feel rough, yet imagine the new possibilities and view when you arrive at the peak. With persistence and gentle discipline, all things may be achieved. 

“The New Moon in Capricorn has an intense energy due to the fact that it is connected to (by conjunction) to transiting Pluto in Capricorn (Uranus in Aries), Mercury in Capricorn and Mars in Libra.  Transformation of stuck energy so things realign and move is part of this astrological configuration.

“The first round of energy with this aspect suggests ‘major detox and cleanse’ and then comes the rebirth and new beginnings.  The energy is dynamic yet very focused like a laser beam.

“As a Soul, you are success itself. The ego/mind or human self, it may get caught up in the extremes of the physical world of ‘success or failure.’  Know that there is a way beyond this dualistic perception and way of living. Living life from a perspective of Soul, helps you to know you bring the quality of success to whatever you choose to do.

“Consider that at times the most trying, testing, difficult situation may be a form of Spiritual initiation or rite of passage in some way to master something and raise consciousness. The overall astrological aspects suggest this is what is happening, each individual is testing themselves to rise to a higher level through a challenge in some form.

“…Some people right now leading up to the New Moon in Capricorn, are feeling the strong driving push for purging, cleansing and letting go. It is downright uncomfortable and possibly full of grief, intense emotions or even deep fears coming up. This is par for the course now. Go with it, be with it, accept it. Get some rest if you feel exhausted. It will shift soon enough.

“Pay attention to about 3 days before hand, especially New Years Eve it is wise to have awareness, be alert and make conservative choices and actions. People may express pent-up aggression, anger, possible erratic driving on the roads or while travel,  arguments or disagreements may occur.

“Energies want to clear out. Be responsible for what is your emotion and reaction and allow others to do the same. There is nothing to fear, but better be on the side of caution and wise decision-making than have regrets. It is your choice how you work with the symbolism and energy or if you buckle down into fear-based energy.”

“…With Venus Retrograde in Capricorn, some things may not be as defined or tangible as  you may like them to be — especially around relationships, love and even money. Be patient. As it’s a phase of reorganizing, how something is defined will come in due time.”

“The New Moon in Capricorn urges each to be realistic with your approach to whatever is happening. Align with that which is healthy, loving, empowering and of quality.

“Whatever you produce or manifest, let it be with integrity and deliver quality product. This is being the living embodiment of the highest potential of the New Moon in Capricorn.”

From the always inspiring Kelley Rosano:

“The Capricorn New Moon on January 1 is a SuperMoon. This means it is extra potent. The New Moon is closest to the earth and in direct alignment with the Sun and the Earth.

“New Moons are new beginnings. You have a new start in Capricorn. The structures of your life are to be examined and changed as needed….The Capricorn New Moon message is time to upgrade and improve your life.

“Capricorn is the goat climbing to the mountain top…You are to climb higher and merge with your God Consciousness.  Pulling your Higher Consciousness into your choices will empower you to live an authentic life. You will live from love not fear. You are a great spiritual being. You are having a human experience. You are a powerful creator. What do you want to create in the New Year?

“The Sun and Moon are coupled with Pluto and Mercury. Pluto is considered the most powerful planet in astrology. He is not a maybe planet. ‘Change or I will change you’ says, Pluto.

“There are two roads to take with Pluto. One is divine will. The other is ego will. Pluto, used to serve your highest good, is the wisest path to take. Pluto will empower your soul and help you make healthy choices.

“When you do what is right for you, you are in alignment with your soul. You don’t feel the need to control or change people. This is because you know who you are and what works for you. You live from the motto, ‘live and let’ live.’ The dark side of Pluto is when people are fear based and must control family, friends and their world. Manipulation, hidden agendas and jealousy are the misuse of Pluto….”

“The ongoing Uranus and Pluto life changing square continues through 2014. You can experience evolutionary breakthroughs. You can move from breakdown to breakthrough. Pluto and Uranus are transforming your life. Pluto is about power. How you use your power. How you own it, or how you give your power away. You can give your power away not only to others but to self-sabotaging behaviors…” 

“The Capricorn New Moon on January 1 is a Grand Square. This powerful energy is building toward a peak in April. Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto are the four pillars of the Grand Square.  They are fighting with each other for their say and place. This astrology may reflect long standing issues, challenges and problems that are difficult to resolve. This requires you to garner your strength, patience and perseverance…”

“The cosmic message for the Capricorn New Moon is live from your authentic power. Be who you truly are.  Be open to change. Upgrade your life where needed.

“Yes, this astrology is serious and intense. A wise strategy is to be flexible. Flow with the environment. What is breaking down in your life is ready for a breakthrough. Attitude is everything. You can be proactive and evolve. You are creating your reality though your thoughts, words and behavior. You can choose to be the victor or the victim. In other words, you can own your power. Or you can give it away….”

“The ego resists change. This is the ego’s way of distracting you from getting on with the business of living. What is not built on truth is collapsing. Being powerless because you see someone, others, or society having power over you. This is illusion! The ego is playing a game of denial.

“Be honest with yourself.  Have you ignored the warnings and now conditions have worsened? You are a powerful creator. You can use your power to improve your life.  Have better relationships. Work with passion and feel good. Remember that, you have an important role to play or you wouldn’t be alive. You matter. You count. There is no one who can replace you. You are a valuable treasure.

“…Real growth requires tenacity and determination. Creator is using Pluto and Uranus to cut you free from the chains that bind you. Freedom can only come when you liberate your mind. Be the change you want to see in the world.  Merge with you Higher Self.  Observe the magical blessings in your life.”

From the wonderful Simone Butler from Mooncircles.com:

“The Capricorn New Moon (Jan. 1, 3:14 a.m. PST) catalyzes a grand cross between Mars in Libra, Jupiter in Cancer, Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn.

“The planets involved represent strong yang forces, intensified by their presence in action-oriented cardinal signs. Do-or-die Pluto conjuncts the Sun, Moon and Mercury and exactly squares headstrong Mars. This forceful call for evolutionary change can prompt a fresh start, but it can also trigger antagonism and impatience if we’re not careful to channel it wisely.

“Because this powerful energy colors the entire year ahead, we can expect 2014 to be a magnificent, make-it-or-break-it year. 

“The good news is, if you’re inclined to cut ties with the past, launch new projects or begin running marathons, this alignment will give you the push you need. The bad news is, if you persist in clinging to old patterns or being less than your authentic self, you’re apt to suffer.

“Complicating the planetary picture, Venus is currently retrograde in Capricorn (Dec. 21 – Jan. 31). Pleasure-loving Venus can feel weighed down in that serious earth sign, but she’s also able to devise effective plans for change, and cement healthy habits in existing relationships (not a great time to start new ones, though).

“Don’t rely overmuch on others’ financial or emotional support during this retrograde, as it’s meant to guide you into your own depths to reclaim your talents, power and self-esteem (although it is a good time to recoup losses or receive money owed to you).

“Through the end of January, you may have to dig deep to find the softer side of love, to unconditionally accept yourself and others—but your efforts will be richly rewarded.”

Wonderful insight from  Dana Gerhardt from Mooncircles.com:

“According to the Austrian philosopher-clairvoyant Rudolf Steiner, balance is the psycho-physical sense we must develop in Capricorn. When we steady ourselves, we steady the world. If we slip and free fall, the world goes spinning.

“The alliance you forge with Capricorn now can strengthen your footing for the entire year. Capricorn is a climber, inspired by high goals. But nothing is gained without first achieving balance on the terrain immediately beneath your feet.

“Tune into the earth. Let your balance be a conversation between you and the benevolent forces whispering, ‘Step here next!’’

Kushandwizdom

This is all just too much for me. I am not happy and I don't have any more room in my soul for unhappiness. Things are not the way they are supposed to be. If I could, for even a moment, reconcile that this was not the case, I would be okay. I'm strong. I've weathered storms most people only read about, but knowing the way things are supposed to be and having to deal with the painful fact that they are not is making my heart ache so badly, that I am having a physical reaction to it. Of course, it has always been this way. When I knew you were supposed to be here and didn't want you to, my head pounded. When you said we should do this, I felt so high, I couldn't breathe. When you were near me, I couldn't concentrate. When you cut my feelings with you sharp words, I bled. When I can't see you, I miss you like a junkie misses smack. When I do see you, butterflies dance in my stomach. When you kiss me, I am in another place, not of this earth. When you don't, I am lost. When I see you with her, I am devastated. None of this makes sense to me, because I get that you have this life, this other life that you refuse to admit to, to almost all of us, and I don't want you to walk away from your child. This is something I feel to my very core, but that you go home every night to this person who does not know you, understand you, does not share your desire for touch and passion, this person who thinks she can change you when she is part of the reason you are who you are, while at the same time knowing in my soul that I do know you, crave your touch, share your passion, and love the person that all the damage you have experienced has made you is twisting me up so badly on the inside that I have no choice but to walk away from you completely. Just another thing about you that causes a physical reaction that I cannot stand to feel any more. I know you love me. I know you do. It can only be this that will not let me walk away from you, no matter how much I try. I know you don't want to hurt me. I know that you don't want things to be so contentious. And I know you have no greater knowledge of how to handle these feelings than I. I also believe that you are afraid to actually love the woman you're with because you fear being hurt again. You have to know on some level that I love you way too much for that. I only see a future where my love heals you. Not changes you, certainly not hurts you, just heals you. I think you truly believe this person you live with is all you are worthy of. I know you don't love her. I have loved before and I would never have allowed the person I love to see the evidence of my other desires. It took me a really long time to understand why you kept my little note with the words of Emily Dickinson pinned to your desk, perpetually in your line of vision, where she could see this on a daily basis. Anyway, I digress...my point is not about her, I knew the day I met her that she was nothing spectacular, it is about me and my whole in-ability to love you or hate you. It's a lose, lose situation for me and I just cannot do this anymore. I wish I didn't love you, darling, I really, really do. Usually, I can make a wish like that come true relatively easily, however, for some magical reason that could apparently be chalked only up to fate, I cannot. Please don't make me walk away from you completely. It's like fucking with destiny and that cannot be a good thing. You have to talk to me. You have to tell me what is going on in that dark and surreptitious mind of yours. You have to know I'm worth it. You have to know that you are, too... 

"Wrecking Ball"

We clawed, we chained, our hearts in vain

We jumped, never asking why

We kissed, I fell under your spell

A love no one could deny

Don’t you ever say I just walked away

I will always want you

I can’t live a lie, running for my life

I will always want you

I came in like a wrecking ball

I never hit so hard in love

All I wanted was to break your walls

All you ever did was wreck me

Yeah, you wreck me

I put you high up in the sky

And now, you’re not coming down

It slowly turned, you let me burn

And now, we’re ashes on the ground

Don’t you ever say I just walked away

I will always want you

I can’t live a lie, running for my life

I will always want you

I came in like a wrecking ball

I never hit so hard in love

All I wanted was to break your walls

All you ever did was wreck me

I came in like a wrecking ball

Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung

Left me crouching in a blaze and fall

All you ever did was wreck me

Yeah, you wreck me

I never meant to start a war

I just wanted you to let me in

And instead of using force

I guess I should’ve let you win

I never meant to start a war

I just wanted you to let me in

I guess I should’ve let you win

Don’t you ever say I just walked away

I will always want you

I came in like a wrecking ball

I never hit so hard in love

All I wanted was to break your walls

All you ever did was wreck me

I came in like a wrecking ball

Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung

Left me crouching in a blaze and fall

All you ever did was wreck me

Yeah, you, you wreck me

Yeah, you, you wreck me

Alone

From childhood's hour I have not been

As others were -- I have not seen

As others saw -- I could not bring

My passions from a common spring --

From the same source I have not taken

My sorrow -- I could not awaken

My heart to joy at the same tone --

And all I loved -- I loved alone --

Then -- in my childhood -- in the dawn

Of a most stormy life -- was drawn

From every depth of good and ill

The mystery which binds me still --

From the torrent, or the fountain --

From the red cliff of the mountain --

From the sun that 'round me roll'd

In its autumn tint of gold --

From the lightning in the sky

As it pass'd me flying by --

From the thunder, and the storm --

And the cloud that took the form

(When the rest of Heaven was blue)

Of a demon in my view --

-by Edgar Allen Poe

"A Mother and Her Daughter"

As I walked down my path

The wind whispered your name thru the leaves

"Jeanine"

Flowers beside me carried the scent of you

A wish I had for so long

A mother and her daughter

Nightmares

Replaced by dreams of what you would become

As visions of your spirit

Danced inside my soul

There is no greater love

A mother and her daughter

Your beauty:

Art no painter can illustrate

No songstress can serenade

A story no writer can pen

A secret no one can disclose

A mother and her daughter

My body will decay

And return to the earth

Dust to dust

But my soul you will carry with you

Infinitely

A bond unbreakable

By time

A mother and her daughter

For my Daughter, Jeanine

-by Deannalynn Arzola

"Sigh No More"

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more.

    Men were deceivers ever,

One foot in sea, and one on shore,

    To one thing constant never.

Then sigh not so, but let them go,

    And be you blithe and bonny,

Converting all your sounds of woe

    Into hey nonny, nonny.

Sing no more ditties, sing no mo'

    Of dumps so dull and heavy.

The fraud of men was ever so

    Since summer first was leafy.

Then sigh not so, but let them go,

    And be you blithe and bonny,

Converting all your sounds of woe

    Into hey, nonny, nonny.

-by William Shakespeare

from "Much Ado About Nothing"

"The Lie"

Go, soul, the body's guest,

Upon a thankless arrant;

Fear not to touch the best;

The truth shall be thy warrant:

Go, since I needs must die,  

And give the world the lie.

Say to the court it glows

And shines like rotten wood,

Say to the church it shows

What's good, and doth no good:

If church and court reply,

Then give them both the lie.

Tell potentates, they live

Acting, by others' action;

Not lov'd unless they give;

Not strong, but by affection.

If potentates reply,

Give potentates the lie.

Tell men of high condition,

That manage the estate,

Their purpose is ambition;

Their practice only hate.

And if they once reply,

Then give them all the lie.

Tell them that brave it most,

They beg for more by spending,

Who in their greatest cost

Like nothing but commending.

And if they make reply,

Then give them all the lie.

Tell zeal it wants devotion;

Tell love it is but lust;

Tell time it meets but motion;

Tell flesh it is but dust:

And wish them not reply,

For thou must give the lie.

Tell age it daily wasteth;

Tell honour how it alters;

Tell beauty how she blasteth;

Tell favour how it falters:

And as they shall reply,

Give every one the lie.

Tell wit how much it wrangles

In tickle points of niceness;

Tell wisdom she entangles

Herself in over-wiseness:

And when they do reply,

Straight give them both the lie.

Tell physic of her boldness;

Tell skill it is prevention;

Tell charity of coldness;

Tell law it is contention:

And as they do reply,

So give them still the lie.

Tell fortune of her blindness;

Tell nature of decay;

Tell friendship of unkindness;

Tell justice of delay:

And if they will reply,

Then give them all the lie.

Tell arts they have no soundness,

But vary by esteeming;

Tell schools they want profoundness,

And stand too much on seeming.

If arts and schools reply,

Give arts and schools the lie.

Tell faith it's fled the city;

Tell how the country erreth;

Tell manhood, shakes off pity;

Tell virtue, least preferreth.

And if they do reply,

Spare not to give the lie.

So when thou hast, as I

Commanded thee, done blabbing;

Because to give the lie

Deserves no less than stabbing:

Stab at thee, he that will,

No stab thy soul can kill!

-Sir Walter Raleigh 

Life in a Love

by Robert Browning

Escape me?

Never, beloved!

While I am I, and you are you,

So long as the world contains us both,

Me the loving and you the loth.

While the one eludes, must the other pursue

My life is a fault, at last, I fear:

It seems too much like a fate, indeed!

Though I do my best, I shall scarce succeed.

But what if I fail in my purpose, here?

It is but to keep the nerves at strain,

To dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall,

And baffled, get up and begin, again.

So the chase takes up one's life, that's all.

While look, but once, from your farthest bound,

At me, so deep, in the dusk and dark,

No sooner the old hope goes to ground

Than a new one, straight to the self-same mark,

I shape me...

Ever-

Removed

Time is irrelevant, in terms of infinity. Yes, irrelevant. Space is simply physics. Destiny is unchangeable, no matter what they say about being in control of it. It is in control of you. Fate is what we receive in this life for what we did in the last one. Fighting all these things only serves to exhaust you. When you're too tired to fight it any longer, as I am, in regards to fighting my own destiny, come fall into my arms. I will comfort you and hold all your demons at bay.
THIS is what love is...

"Winter Walk"

Frozen blades of grass

crunch under my stride

as I walk the path set forth for me.

The air so frigid,

it sets alight

my lungs. 

This passage

brings to memory

discontented winters.

My mirage

awaits me 

in the distance,

tempting my continuance.

 

Spring teases

with hope

and intention.

Certitude in this destiny

suddenly stripped from thought

and soul.

In it's place, 

the present vision...

the altitudinous, barren trees

of our existence.

-Deannalynn Arzola
