17* Leo New Moon (no moon – starry dark sky, the time of dreaming), culminating August 10, 2010. This Leo New Moon is about taking action toward developing contentment with people, those encircling you and those you want surrounding you. Satisfaction should consist of people who support you and give emotionally, intellectually, physically and spiritually. We learn our manners and behavior from society, peers and relatives. We are on constant renewal with our emotions, and sometimes we let them influence us for days or years. What is the behavior for creating meaningful exchange. There is depth of soul connection to everyday interactions with some people. Who has helped you and who has hindered you. Where have you allowed yourself to become passive or maybe aggressive. Are your communication skills at work for or against you. Life can be long and boring without connection. Examine what it is needed and how to acquire those desires. Where does one begin to create reciprocity.

Acknowledgement and interchange can work wonders. You don’t have to talk or do a lot, you can smile. Most others want their existence to be noted. And when we find those others personally significant, our lives can truly be enriched. Every day can be an analysis of love if you allow it. You should make it alright with yourself that who you love, is who”you love”. No matter what trials and tribulations you both go through.  Sadly there are people that make life difficult or unhappy, there are many circumstances throughout our lives that are beyond our control. You know what tests you’ve been through and how you have learned. Is it time to start revising unending discord. Much like a musical instrument that is untunable, sometimes it takes work but every instrument can brought back to harmony. Fate can’t always be changed overnight, but it can be adjusted over time. There are new ways to refigure competitive or combative behavior. Your test to outthink the dilemma, not embroil yourself in it. And we know how disappointed we will be if we don’t at least make an attempt and exert effort. Refresh your perspective on others around you. Restore or start friendships. Renew your love life.  Improve your relationships with your family members. Spark your creative drive. Open yourself for Love…

“True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island..to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.”

~ Baltasar Gracian (Spanish Philosopher and Writer, leading Spanish exponent of conceptism, 1601-1658)
