Waning Crescent in sidereal Scorpio

On the Phoenix Moon, our direction will differ depending on what we've experienced in our lives. If we've had to live that death-and-rebirth - not just a hard change but a transformation that forced us to recreate our entire identity - we think about that change and find gratitude for the new direction it took us in. - Moon Phase Astrology by Raven Kaldera.

I'm still unemployed after almost a year. It would have been nice to go back to the old job so that I can keep my seniority but I guess it's not in the stars. The rebirth phase is ongoing or shall I say hasn't happened yet. If I hadn't lost my job, I wouldn't have rescued Samus. She's such a sweet little dog and I can't imagine being without her even though she is a tad smothering.

What deaths/rebirths have you experienced?

Waning Crescent in sidereal Cancer

On the Widow's Moon, we mourn and grieve for our losses. We also give our aid to people who are lost and grieving, perhaps helping them with the everyday tasks that seem so hard for a grieving person to manage. If there was anyone who has passed that you don't feel you properly grieved for, this it the time to do it. - Moon Phase Astrology by Raven Kaldera.

Mystic's Moon

Ra's Day

Waxing crescent in sidereal Pisces

On the Mystic's Moon, we pray or meditate or go to a moving religious ritual or find some other way to experience All That Is. If this is something that is not part of your life, skip this Moon. - Moon Phase Astrology by Raven Kaldera.

Yesterday's magic is today's science

Waning crescent in sidereal Aquarius - Prophet's Moon

On the Prophet's Moon, we look to the future and think about how it might be. It's also a good time for reading science fiction or writing it, if that's your interest. If you'd rather deal in real life, read about cutting-edge science. On the other hand, there's also the ongoing work of humanitarians, and how they intend to change the world. Stay away from apocalyptic ideas, though. The Prophet's Moon is more relaxed than that. - Moon Phase Astrology by Raven Kaldera.

Woot! I totally love sci-fi. I'm trying to figure out what movie would work for tonight's moon. Perhaps Terminator? It's has so many time travel scenarios that Judgement Day has been changed several times. Book of Eli would fit perfectly but we don't have it. I can always look at one of my many Star Trek movies. Speaking of what the future would be like, Star Trek PADDs (personal access display device) look just like our e-readers of today.

Or, I, Robot! But the short stories are so much better than the movie although the movie was a great adaptation.

What other sci-fi books have been made into movies? If you like sci-fi, what's your favorite author? Or are you a change-the-world type of person?

Waning Crescent in sidereal Sagittarius - Shaman's Moon


I've been thinking of my father a lot lately. My folks divorced when I was about 9. Since my mother was bent on getting a scriptural divorce, she and my oldest brother caught Dad with another woman. Yeah, so Dad was made out to be the bad guy. I don't have any pictures of him. When he died, my siblings and I split up his record collection. 


I went to his grave for the first time this past Samhain. It was peaceful. I have so many unanswered questions. Like, did my mother push him away because she was uber-religious? Mom told me that she fell out of love after the first year or two. Why she decided to be miserable for 20+ years is beyond me. I don't recall Dad being around when we did fun stuff. He used to work at the bakery until he got laid off. He drove a green Buick Centurion and made it clear that it was his car, not the family car.

Similar to Dad's car; his had 2 doors, not 4

Dad loved his music. I remember he would listen to his records with his headphones on, patting his feet to the beat. My sister and I would watch him shave. I have no idea why this was so fascinating to us. His favorite lotion was Jergens; I can't remember what cologne he wore except that it was in in a bottle shaped like a car. He loved Pepsi and those really hard pretzels. I think his favorite color was green. He made us scrapple, egg, and cheese sandwich and called it a Super Duper Daddy sandwich. He like to watch Kojak and Sanford & Son.


I'm thinking of ways to try to contact him. Trance, dreams, ouija board - I have no idea. Should I collect his favorite things? Wait for his birthday, Father's Day, specific phase of the moon? There is much that I need to know now that I'm grown. Instead of focusing on the negative, I want to remember and build on the positive.
