Full Moon in Sagittarius

The Archer targets honesty

You don't have to watch the calendar, or even look at the sky because when things start getting weird, you know the Full Moon is on the rise. New paths and perspectives are bound to be illuminated when the Moon blossoms to its lunar peek on June 7, 2009, shining through the optimistic eye of Sagittarius.



Relationships may experience a bit of tension, due to a squabbling opposition between the Moon and the Sun. But, by pulling on the idealistic energies of open-minded Sag, you can avoid creating problems by resolving issues with love and fun.

What an interesting time this Full Moon will bring, because of her Square with Saturn. Limitations and restrictions will be more apparent than ever, but with some Sagittarian-style planning, you may find out that what currently holds you back may be the stepping stones of future success.

The Archer's influence
Sagittarius is idealistic, optimistic, and can be generous to a fault. The energy of this Fire Sign can boost your confidence and expand your creativity and imagination. While the Sagittarius vibe is one of truth and freedom in all things, the Mutable nature of this sign can be instrumental in helping us to adapt to the challenges that life brings.



This Sagittarius Full Moon is bound to bring out some good and some bad, but the basic lesson of this celestial time is focused on honesty. People may seem to be a bit more bold or downright candid. You may realize that you are looking at things differently, and being more honest with yourself. Consider this an opportunity to lighten your load by getting things off your chest, but be cautious to choose your words wisely in order to avoid hurt feelings and additional stress.

This is an optimum time to tackle things that need improvement, in yourself or stagnant circumstances of your life. The lessons of the Sagittarius Full Moon revolve around learning to be honest with yourself, and honest with those who surround you. The truths you discover may not always be gentle or pleasant, but truth does have a way of setting you free.

Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
You may feel like you're going to explode, but with a little effort it is possible not to crash and burn. Aries may struggle a bit as repressed emotions begin to emerge, but this release will transmute burdens into opportunities of betterment. Leo, for once, will ask for emotional support, and will learn that they get more out of life when they truly let others in. Sagittarius will be impacted in a variety of ways, and may be a bit moody when realizing they need to slow down.



Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
You will make the most of personal discipline, looking toward the future rather than focusing on the feelings swirling within. Cancer will speak out if stretched too thin, masterfully setting boundaries to protect what is important. Scorpio may seem more focused on money and material things, carefully planning the path to future successes. Pisces energy will be a mix of compassion and strength, assisting them in rallying support without making waves.

Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
You may be a bit on edge and focus may turn inward to assess your deepest needs. Taurus will evaluate the relationships that are closest to them, and may be less than diplomatic when sharing any shortcomings they discover. Virgo may have been feeling scattered, but now is prepared to lighten their load and calmly take back control. Capricorn may be surprisingly blunt. As much as they want peace and acceptance, they are more apt to do what they know to be right, rather than trying to keep the peace.

Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
You will follow where the breeze takes you, shining brightly at your social best. Gemini will start feeling like themselves once more, stepping away from criticisms with a finesse that could make a partner out of an enemy. Libra will be a bit emotional, sorting through the human clutter of their lives. If it gets too stressful, the cure will be gathering those who matter and setting off on a shopping spree. Aquarius will surround themselves with loved ones and friends, staying closer to those who really support them. If you don't have anything nice to say, make sure you're not saying it to them, or you could find yourself rather quickly dismissed.

Unconscious Patterns

3 steps toward real change by Jamie Nishi Source: California Psychics

Lingering just below the surface of our conscious minds are patterns of thought, feelings, emotions and motivations. We aren't immediately aware of them, but they wield a powerful influence over how we behave and react to events in our everyday lives. By digging under the surface, examining our behavior and looking for our motivations, we can discover the sources of behaviors that we may not like about ourselves and that hold us back from the lives we really want to live.

Have you ever sat down to think about why you might behave in unhealthy ways? Or why you engage in those behaviors repeatedly, even when you don't like the kind of person they turn you into (manipulative, passive, even dishonest)? The truth of the matter is that even though certain behaviors are unhealthy, in some way they fulfill our needs. Whether it's attention, affection, sympathy, forgiveness or just plain old having your way, the behavior is getting you what you want - but at a cost.

Unconscious to conscious
While manipulative behavior may get you what you want, it also reinforces feelings of guilt and shame. Self-destructive behavior might give a person that brief feeling of being purified through punishment, but it also hammers away at self-esteem and physical health. If you want to change behaviors that run counter to the life you want to lead and the person you want to be, then you have to identify the unconscious patterns that drive them.

A little self-analysis can have an amazing impact on helping you take the first steps toward…

• Identifying behaviors you are unhappy with

• Understanding where they come from

• Being able to recognize when you are tempted to engage in an unhealthy behavior

• Having greater control over your actions, so that you can make healthier choices about how you want to operate in the world

Identify the behavior
To begin with, you have to identify the behaviors that are keeping you from what you want out of life. Here are just a few examples:

• I often feel anger and snap at my partner, even when they have done nothing wrong.

• I go on shopping sprees, even though I want to get my finances under control.

• I eat even when I don't feel hungry or have no desire to eat.

• I get angry with myself for having feelings of guilt.

• I spend most of my time doing things I dislike.

3-step exercise
If any of these apply to you, include them in a list of the five most frustrating behaviors you engage in and try this 3-step process:

1. Describe the pattern
After you've identified the behavior, describe the pattern in detail (how it comes about, what ensues, the fallout and the resulting feelings). Try to put into words the degree of this behavior's intensity. Is it subtle or very obvious? Can you brush it off or does it stick with you for hours, weeks, years? In just a few sentences, explore why you find this behavior to be negative.

2. Pinpoint potential payoffs
Keep in mind that we wouldn't engage in a negative behavior if it didn't have a potential payoff. The potential payoffs can be monetary, psychological, spiritual, physical, social or related to achievement, and they help to keep you trapped in the behavioral pattern. Next to each of your five most frustrating behaviors, write down the potential payoffs associated with them.

3. Question potential payoffs
Question and test the potential payoffs that feed these negative behaviors. Honestly answering the following few questions can really help shed light on why you behave the way you do:

• What do you gain through this behavior?

• Does is it make your life easier? At what cost?

• What risks does it enable you to avoid?

• What pain does it allow you to escape from?

• What immediate results are you trading for what deferred results?

Future change
Finally, consider the change you want and need in your life, and imagine yourself living it out. Write down in detail the story of how this change would take place and the challenges you'll face along the way. Be sure to include in the story what you are willing to give up along the way and what you want to hold onto.

Change always requires risk. Identifying unconscious patterns that drive unhealthy behavior can help to empower and give you the courage to step out of your comfort zone and enact the change you want in your life!

Duplicity in Love

Is your lover two people? by S.K. Smith
Source: California Psychics

Relationships are hard enough to navigate when the partners involved are open and communicative with each other. But add a chameleon into the mix - you know the type, friendly and warm one second, cold and cutting (or at best distant) the next - and the waters can become impossible to steer!

After all, how are you supposed to determine if you're compatible if you're too busy trying to guess which side of your partner is going to show up to dinner? The good news is, you can take inventory of even the most complex personality and determine which of their many faces is the real one. Here's a hint: odds are, it's all of them! The trick is deciding what (and who) you're willing to put up with!

Circumstantial evidence
Uncovering the truth behind any situation requires honing your powers of observation. The same goes for understanding a seemingly duplicitous partner. If you want to understand why they're behaving in a way that confuses you, you have to pay attention to the circumstances surrounding that behavior and learn to trust your instincts. Odds are there's going to be a pattern that will inform you about the root of the problem.

So, for a simple example, if your partner is sweet and loving when you're alone, but as soon as you go out in public, they won't hold your hand or show you any affection and it bothers you… well, it's an easy distinction, right? The mitigating factor is that you're out with other people when the negative pattern rears its head. Now comes the telling part. It would be easy to jump to the fact that they really don't care about you or conversely, to convince yourself that they're just shy about public displays. To know which it is (and of course there are many other options too), you need to look a little deeper at the specifics, taking note of what resonates.

Look closer
Is the distant behavior more prevalent when you're with specific people? Do you get the idea that they're ashamed of you or are they simply the type of personality to embarrass easily or succumb to peer pressure around friends who haven't settled down (or those who may not approve of their choice of partner)? Answers to these questions will decide how you choose to deal with the situation. But if the sincerity of a partner's feelings about you are in question (which is the very core of duplicity - the inability to trust what they're telling you), you've absolutely got to do something. Otherwise, the only thing you'll be guaranteed is the ultimate failure of your relationship - whether you break up or not!

Of course, most situations involving questionable feelings are more complex than the previous example. For instance, if your lover is generally level-headed and rational, but occasionally they fly off the handle or retreat into "no talk" mode, you may find yourself frustrated and unsure about what you've done. Most likely, you haven't done anything (except possibly trigger something that's an issue for them), but until you step back and look at the situation objectively, it can feel like you're dealing with someone you don't know at all! That said, if you observe for a little while, odds are you will notice common denominators like money, family or work involved in what sets your partner into "evil twin" mode.

Talking points
Given that information, the last thing you want to do is confront them armed with their Achilles Heel. Since these issues are clearly difficult for them to deal with, your best approach is to talk to them about yourself. Begin by finding a time when your mate seems approachable and tell them that you've noticed a change in them when x, y or z comes up or happens. If they ask for examples, be willing to share them, kindly and without judgment. Then, open up to them about how it makes you feel when they react to you in that way. "When you clam up about money, I feel like you don't trust or respect me." "When you yell at me about what I said in front of your parents, I feel like you're embarrassed by me and wish I were someone else." No one can argue with feelings.

That said, not everyone is willing to change, and sometimes, if you're under the impression that something is off, it very well may be… whether they admit it to you or not.

Ultimate acceptance
Some people just take time to trust and soft spots are the hardest to be open about, but there is nothing saying you have to wait around forever for someone to tell you what's really going on in their heads or hearts. Besides, once you've addressed the behavior that's throwing you for a loop, they'll either become aware of their behavior and work on it, or they'll continue on as usual, vacillating between attitudes. And therein lies your answer about whether or not to stick around. Unintentional duplicity is a very different (and less diabolical) beast than purposeful deceit or non-disclosure.



Remember, even those who do make the effort to change will occasionally slip up. After all, the things you don't like about them may be amendable, but most of them won't be completely eradicated. Nobody's perfect. But if your lover is aware that a behavior of theirs is hurtful and confusing and they continue on without thought for your feelings or any meaningful attempt to address the issue, they're not the only one being unfair to you. You're being unfair to yourself!
