The Strange Tales of Dr. Jekyll ~ Mr. Hyde ~ and Phinas Gage

Robert Lewis Stevenson wrote “The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" in 1886. The central theme of the story is of two very different men who inhabit the same body. His characterization of the respectable Dr Jekyll, who turns into the ugly and deformed Mr Hyde has so griped the collective imagination that this story of duality is well known by virtually everyone. The story is about the ego and it’s shadow, that dark feared part of our self that follows us wherever we go and “can look even the more sinister the more we try to stand in the light.”

The Balsamic Moon Phase ~ Release, Empty, Let Go

"To the observer, the plant is caught in Autumn's deathlike grip. Leaves and fruit wither and fall, the stalk bends or breaks. But beneth these decaying remains lies the promise, the seed, the bridge from cycle to cycle. It can wait, slumbering peacefully at the winter's breast." The Lunar Cycles ~ Philip Levine

The First Quarter Moon Phase ~ Taking Action with Activities Directed Toward the Future

"Freed from the shell, the sprouting plant decides it's future by sinking it's moisture-seeking rootlets down into the earth. Spreading them out, it stakes out it's territory and wholeheartedly climbs toward the air and the sky, affirming, “Here I will Be.” The Lunar Cycles ~ Philip Levine At the New Moon a conception occurred ~ at the Crescent the new life quickened in the womb and IF we are successful in overcoming our self-doubt we commit to gathering information and resources as we plan for the action of the First Quarter phase ~ where we announce the upcoming birth to others.

Aquarians Dance to the Beat of Their Own Drum

In the Conclusion to 'Walden', Thoreau writes, "If a man loses pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured, or far away." Aquarians are eclectic and imaginative thinkers ~ sometimes erratic, sometimes brilliant and always stubborn. Yes, Aquarians are thinkers who know much about the world, but knowing "everything" often becomes an obstacle to their own happiness. As Einstein said, "Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."

A Guide for Getting In Tune With the Moon ~ The Moon Mirrors Our Daily Experience of Living

Our language brims with words and phrases about the compelling power of the Moon in our emotional lives. How about being ~ “moonstruck?” When a person wanders around in a dreamy sad listless state, we might say they are “mooning” about someone or something. (Of course, “mooning” someone is something else entirely).

The Fourth Quarter Phase Moon ~ Let Go and Acknowledge the Truth

"Heavy with fruit, the plant bends to the ground. It has given all it has to give, poured its life into the fruit, and now waits to be relieved of its burden. What is left of the plant now? The fruit offers food and a womb for the infant seed." The Lunar Cycle by Philip Levine M.A.

Past Life Regression and Hyonotherapy

In the 1988 movie Altered States a research scientist (played by William Hurt), dives deep into his subconscious and genetic roots. In doing this, he not only relives ancient experiences of his ancestors but actually changes on the biological level. This film was reportedly based on the real-life research of prominent psychologists and medical researchers of the 1960s and 1970s who used isolation tanks and pharmacological triggers to access deep DNA memories and experiences, which they claimed were real.

The Crescent Moon Phase ~ breaking through the inertia of old habits

"The green shoot is healthy and alive. The pressure of life expanding within the seed builds against the hard shell, the product of an earlier time when protection was necessary against the cold, hard winter. If the plant is to live, this shell must go. The shoot must leave the safety of the shell and begin making it's way in the world.” The Lunar Report by Phillip LLevine M.A.

A Guide for Getting in Tune With the Moon ~ Cycles and Phases

"Astrology can be defined as a technique for he study of life-cycles.Its main purpose (is to establish) the existence of regular patterns in the sequence of events constituting man’s inner and outer experience; then,to use the knowledge of these patterns in order to control or give meaning to these experiences ~ Indeed, the study of cycles ~ that is, of periodical activities in nature, human and otherwise ~ is the root of all significant knowledge, be it scientific or philosophical.

Aquarians Are Often Eclectic, Imaginative and Free Spirited Thinkers

~ sometimes erratic and sometimes brilliant. " Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices, but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence and fulfills the duty to express the results of his thought in clear form." ~ Albert Einstein The name Albert Einstein has become synonymous with genius. The scientific definitions of our modern age ~ from the Bomb to space travel, electronics and quantum physics ~ all reflect his amazing radical thinking.

Spirituality, Religion and Astrology part 2

Ask me to define astrology and I would say it's the world's oldest "science." An astrologer does use an agreed upon classification system and has very precise measurements when drafting a "horoscope", but I also see the interpretation of the horoscope as a creative and imaginative art form. The horoscope is to an astrologer much like the microscope is to a biologist, an instrument that allows you to see things that are not readily visible.

The Full Moon Phase ~ Awareness, Co-operation and Sharing Information

“The plant that was a seed and then a shoot gives birth to a bud which will gradually become a flower. The plant can now be seen as the mother of the flower, and the flower the completion of the growth of the plant. It now takes over as the mother of future seeds, sharing itself as color and fragrance” The Lunar Cycle by Philip Levine
