☆♥*♥☆ Ducks Fly Moon~Libra ☆♥*♥☆

(c) Lorraine Valente

In Native American Astrology, individuals born from September 23~October 22nd are born under the Ducks Fly Moon and are Raven people. Born under the Butterfly elemental clan, as Gemini and Aquarius, their mineral gemstone is Bloodstone Jasper.

Bloodstone Jasper is known for its magical properties to stop hemorrhaging/bleeding and provide the owner with a long life. It is believed that it strengthens the blood cells and helps bring oxygen to the blood stream. When Bloodstone Jasper is worn it is said to provide its wearer protection over bad spirits and to allow him to cast spells upon others. It is also worn to protect against snake bites. Associated with the root chakra, it is said to enhance spirituality and intuition.

Raven people, when they have not found their balance, may fly from one mood to another. As we know, this kind of mood fluctuation can cause depression in some. Raven people who have found balance in their lives may utilize their intuitive, psychic powers to help others find their own point of balance.  Raven are also quite versatile with an ability to shift and change. They possess the ability to mediate or smooth over discord in their surroundings and are adept in assisting others in the same. Offering graceful assistance, they are also capable of making others feel soothed and welcome.

Individuals born under Raven tend to be intelligent and capable of soaring from one position to another rather quickly. These are people who are both comfortable on the Earth and in the sky; the material and spiritual plane. They do tend to be group oriented and enjoy the mutual support and cooperation from others. Raven people often mate for life, however, there are actually more who never do. They find it difficult to make a decision about the relationship and frequently change their mind about whether or not they have chosen the “right” partner. By the time they do decide, so much time has passed that the other person has moved on. Harmony is important to the Raven and they abhor confrontations.

As part of the Butterfly elemental clan, these individuals are always changing and fluttering around. They are in constant motion, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. They are a whirling, twirling bundle of energy and can bring the much needed breathe of fresh air into any situation. Butterflies possess tremendous powers of regeneration, and transformation.  The Chinese believe butterfly to symbolize immortality and joy while butterfly is symbolized as the psyche or the soul in Greek art.

Do you resonate with Butterfly or Raven energy?

☆♥*♥☆ Happy Birthday Libra♎! ☆♥*♥☆

Happy Fall Equinox , Mabon Birthday Libra♎, the Scales! For those born September 22~October 22!
Key Phrase for Libra is “I Balance”

Fetching Venus rules Libra♎, the 7th house, and includes all relationships; marriage, partnerships, open enemies, and legal disputes.  Libra's tend to develop many interests including theater, decorating, creating beautiful music, art collecting; anything that is aesthetically pleasing and luxurious. Libra's are likable because they exude a certain amount of charm, grace, elegant sense of style and good taste. They enjoy entertaining and all the comforts money can buy, much like Venus-ruled Taurus♉.

Libra abhors discord and literally runs in the opposite direction to avoid anything or anyone distasteful and unpleasant. Libra wants to smooth over difficult situations and “mediate” the atmosphere. In order to avoid difficult situations, Libra may hide or stifle their own true feelings to not make waves. They're often indecisive and have difficulty making firm decisions and commitments. Libra Rising (Ascendant) individuals are usually visually attractive, charming, and often graced with attractive legs!

Libra folks want their relationships to be fair and in balance. They are born diplomats. Often enough, the task is working at "maintaining" harmony rather than naturally being harmonious. Idealistic, naturally optimistic, and romantic, Libra may do everything in their power to please you. Libra's affinity with Venus often desires the traditional marriage and are usually involved in a romantic relationship. If not, then Libra maintains several platonic ones.

 However, Libra's appear to marry less often than other signs.  Why, you ask?  They simply can't make up their minds! Libra's vacillate so much in relationship decision-making that the object of their affections tires, feels undesirable, and may walk away....quickly into the arms of someone else. Indecision causes disillusionment when Libra realizes the loved partner is "human". 

"What goes around comes back around ...

Cuz honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had
 You turned out to be the best thing I never had
 And I'm gon' always be the best thing you never had
Bet it sucks to be you right now"
 ~ Best Thing I Never Had ~ Beyonce'

Sparation, detachment, and challenges ensue that "test" the stability of the bond. Libra may become so emotionally detached, like their polar opposite Aries, or act out the negative qualities of Aries i.e.: anger, rage, overly independent, impulsive, egoistic, and difficult.

In health matters, Libra rules the kidneys, veins, and the acid-alkaline metabolism. If the body is too acidic, insomnia, headaches, heartburn, and nervousness may result. Venus ruled Libra may also become addicted to "sweets" or succumb to sugary foods.

The Sun is in "fall" in the sign of Libra because its light is often lost to the "other". This means that Libra tends to see others as their source of energy and light which is why Libra's are often called "co-dependent". Integration, awareness, and personal growth are necessary goals.

Libra♎ is the only sign of the zodiac that is a mechanical device rather than an animal or human figure. “The scales in Libra had a deep significance for the Egyptians. It was said that at the time of death the goddess Maat placed the human soul on one scale and a feather on the other. If the scale tipped even slightly, the soul must reincarnate with the goal of releasing the extra weight. Since Libra comes before Scorpio, the sign associated with death, which the Egyptians honored in the eloquent preparations for the afterlife, the prime goal in life was to make the scales balance, or to prepare the soul for its afterlife” (Guttman & Johnson).

Libra’s polar opposite (7th house~partnerships, relationships, law suits, open enemies, marriage) is the cardinal, fire sign Aries (1st house: personality, self, and physical appearance). The integration of "me" versus "us" is a challenge for Libra, also contingent upon other areas of the birth chart. When under stress each sign operates through the most negative characteristics of their polar opposite, the sign 180 degrees opposite itself. When under stress, Libra may adopts the negative characteristics of fiery Aries, ruled by war god Mars, and loose their balance, become impulsive, disruptive, vengeful, or impatient.

Interestingly, there is greater geomagnetic disturbances in the ocean during the Spring Equinox (Aries), and during the Autumn Equinox, September/October,  (Libra). Fewer disturbances are found at the Solstice Points of December/January (Capricorn) and June/July (Cancer). Since Aries/Libra symbolizes the relationship axis, this dynamic illuminates the unique and disparate energies of Mars (Aries) and Venus (Libra)!

With transformative Pluto in Capricorn, squaring (causing tension) with your Sun sign, there is bound to be an intersting story to tell! Own your power to make the necessary changes in your relationships.

☆♥*♥☆ Remembering September 11 ☆♥*♥☆

On September 10, 2001, my enthusiasm built during the day knowing that I would see Michael Jackson's: 30th Anniversary Celebration, the Solo Years concert at Madison Square Garden (MSG) in New York City, with my, then, 12 year old daughter. I felt excited that for the first time in 20 years "The Jackson Five", Jackie, Tito, Marlon, Randi and Jermaine Jackson would reunite with Michael to  perform a medley of their Motown and Epic hits!  More so that my daughter would experience, in person, a few of the musical icons that bookmarked my generation.

We arrived at MSG early knowing heavy rain was expected.  I also wanted to locate the entrance to the Garden the "Stars" would arrive at, and we did.  We impatiently waited, umbrella in hand, rain, heavy at times, amongst thousands of others also waiting to gain a glimpse of singers Liza Minelli, Usher, the amazing Marlon Brando, and stunning Elizabeth Taylor.

The concert was spectacular and included performances and appearances by Mya, 98 Degrees, Dionne Warwick, Luther Vandross, Slash ("Black and White" and "Beat it!"), Gladys Knight, Missy Elliott, Marc Anthony, Nelly Furtado, a 200 member children's choir and others.  Liza Minelli, along with a 300 member gospel choir, sang "You Are Not Alone".

It was a night to remember, soon to be overshadowed by events unknown, about to unfold.

The next morning, after  my daughter was safely on the school bus, I returned to bed only to be awakened by a phone call from my boyfriend at the time, calling from the other side of the World approximately 8:50am.  I wondered why he phoned so early. He asked if I had watched the news yet and said to quickly turn it on.  I asked "Why?"  He stated, ever so calmly, that a plane flew into the World Trade Center building.  I exclaimed, "How is that possible that a plane can not "see" those tall buildings? How is that possible? How absurd!" I turned on the television and as we discussed this phenomena of a plane "accidentally" flying into one of the tallest buildings in NYC, we watched in horror, another plane intentionally fly into the building at 9:03am.

Silence::::::::::::Shock::::::::::::Reality::::::::::::Tears::::::::::::: 

He asks if I am okay, and I am clearly not.  Ten years ago I owned Integrated Staffing Resources, Inc. and interviewed and staffed Wall Street professionals, Stock Brokers, Traders, Financial and Technology Analysts for clients in those two buildings and surrounding buildings. My brother is working down the block from the WTC, and my daughter's friends parents work in those buildings, my neighbors, friends, and job applicants worked at Canter Fitzgerald (658 employees lost their lives).  I watch a while longer to witness people jumping from windows to their death (200 or more people). I suddenly no longer felt safe, horrified watching the collapse of the North Tower.
♥*♥ Grief ♥*♥

I phoned my daughter's school and was informed that children were being kept in school until it was safe for the buses to drive them home.  It was at that moment that an overwhelming sense of grief washed over me.  I suddenly knew that some of those children would return home to the news of a parent who had lost their life within those buildings, and so I began to make phone call after phone call. The lines to the entire area were cut, no calls were going through, what would be for weeks and months.
♥*♥ Fear ♥*♥

When my daughter arrived home, she was not completely aware of why they were sent home early or why I appeared so bereft sitting glued to the television. I explained what happened and then calmly stated that when she returned to school tomorrow, some of her friends would have lost one or both parents, and this became ♥*♥ Truth ♥*♥.

For the past 10 years, I have kept a business sized card distributed during the Memorial Service for Dominick Calia, the father of my daughter's close friend then, attached to a framed Guardian Angel picture in my office.  Attached to the memorial card is a baseball key chain fashioned with a thin red ribbon.  The card says: "In Loving Memory of Dominick Calia, Attach this baseball to your keys and when you look at it, think of him and say a prayer for our coach, Dominick. We will never forget all that you taught us.  The baseball teams of the Manalapan-Englishtown Education Foundation." Thinking of you on September 11, 1011.
 ♥*♥ Peace ♥*♥

I later saw a news clip of the disaster, people running, caught on film; one of which was my brother covered in soot and debris, with a look of fear and angst. At least he was one of the survivors, even though he was one of too many forced to return to work immediately afterwards, saying it was "safe", then subsequently hospitalized due to debris inhalation and almost died.

Until this day, when I pull The Tower card in the Tarot deck, I am painfully reminded of the events of September 11. Just for today, I am thinking of the 2,606 people who lost their lives in New York City. I am also remembering the 341 firefighters and 2 paramedics who lost their lives for our safety. Thank you.
 ♥*♥ Remember ♥*♥

Even if you do not live on the East Coast, this day marks a spot on our historical timeline. If you are so inclined, send healing energy to those who have lost loved ones too soon and also to Mother Earth.  We are all  ♥*♥ Divinely ♥*♥ connected.
