Early Monday morning, at 2:13 AM PDT to be precise, there is a Full Moon. This Full Moon will be in Pisces at 22 degrees. What exactly does this mean?
A Full Moon sheds the most light of any lunar phase. When the Moon is Full, the night is brighter; likewise, we as microcosms of the Universe, are also more enlightened! Whatever answers we seek are likely to be revealed if we tune into the Full Moon's energy.
Since this Full Moon is in Pisces, the sign of Creativity and Miracles, anything is possible. Ask your questions today and prepare to receive answers over the next day or two. The answer will come to you through your intuition. Trust your intutition as it is at high tide now. Pisces is about blind faith and trust, intuition and creativity without boundaries.
Uranus, the planet of brilliance, change and unexpected surprises, is conjuct the Full Moon by 2 degrees. This adds flavor to the Full Moon. Uranus likes to shake up the Moon's calm energy. It can be fun and exciting, as well as, shockingly surprising. Just go with the flow and have faith in the outcome.
Uranus is also the planet of friendship. What will surface with friends that will surpise you and ask for your unconditional and non-judgmental support? Don't be surprised if a friend whom you haven't seen in a while pops up on the radar.
According to Magi Astrology, Uranus rules the Public. We are all connected through invisible friendship. In the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, a perfect manifestation of this Full Moon/Uranus aspect is to give to the victims, either with tangible or intangible gifts. Uranus also rules Humanity and humanitarianism. The Pisces Full Moon shines the light on unconditional giving to victims and those in need.
Happy Harvest FULL MOON monday!

The Power of Positive Thinking
Key PointYou are what you think. You feel what you want.
Why Think Positively?
All of our feelings, beliefs and knowledge are based on our internal thoughts, both conscious and subconscious. We are in control, whether we know it or not.
We can be positive or negative, enthusiastic or dull, active or passive.
Aim high and do your best
The biggest difference between people is their attitudes. For some, learning is enjoyable and exciting. For others, learning is a drudgery. For many, learning is just okay, something required on the road to a job. "Most folks are about as happy as theymake up their minds to be." Abraham Lincoln
Our present attitudes are habits, built from the feedback of parents, friends, society and self, that form our self-image and our world-image.
These attitudes are maintained by the inner conversations we constantly have with ourselves, both consciously and subconsciously.
The first step in changing our attitudes is to change our inner conversations.
What Should We Be Saying?
One approach is called the three C's: Commitment, Control and Challenge.
Commitment
Make a positive commitment to yourself, to learning, work, family, friends, nature, and other worthwhile causes. Praise yourself and others. Dream of success. Be enthusiastic.
Control
Keep your mind focused on important things. Set goals and priorities for what you think and do. Visualize to practice your actions. Develop a strategy for dealing with problems. Learn to relax. Enjoy successes. Be honest with yourself.
Challenge
Be courageous. Change and improve each day. Do your best and don't look back. See learning and change as opportunities. Try new things. Consider several options. Meet new people. Ask lots of questions. Keep track of your mental and physical health. Be optimistic.
Studies show that people with these characteristics are winners in good times and survivors in hard times.
Research shows that,
"... people who begin consciously to modify their inner conversations and assumptions report an almost immediate improvement in their performance. Their energy increases and things seem to go better ..."
Commitment, control and challenge help build self-esteem and promote positive thinking. Here are some other suggestions.
7 Suggestions for Building Positive Attitudes- In every class, look for positive people to associate with.
- In every lecture, look for one more interesting idea.
- In every chapter, find one more concept important to you.
- With every friend, explain a new idea you've just learned.
- With every teacher, ask a question.
- With yourself, keep a list of your goals, positive thoughts and actions.
- Remember, you are what you think, you feel what you want
