2-All, re.... today's Transit's Star Report & NEW MOON Subscriber's Question & Answer

[Guest guest]

Dear Members:

 

Here's an example of a new Jyotish/Astrology magazine

I recently started. These kinds of Transits, info. and especially,

interesting Questions from Subscribers will come out sometime.

Today's is especially interesting, because the question, made me

look at this New Moon, reality in a slightly different way, and I realized

something about the internal dynamics of the "New Moon", that I didn't

realize before. (see below, for member's question & answer.)

I'm sending this to a number of group's, because I think the knowledge here

is especially important.

For those who'd like to participate in this unique "365, day's a year,

newsletter,

check it out at: TheStarsWithin/ Enjoy!

Sincerely, Mark Kincaid

Today, Saturday, May 7th, 2005

9am CDT

 

Exact....

Moment of...

NEW MOON,

Sunday, May 8th,

3:44am

CDT....!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today, the Moon starts off the day, at the 13th degree of Aries.

Since, the Sun's running about the 23rd degree of Aries, you can 'see',

how close they are.

 

This is the New Moon. Over the next 10 degrees, or 20 hours, watch as

the Moon completes it's journey, into the heighth of 'Newness', or

emptyness.

 

Enjoy the stillness, the quietness, even the solitude.

 

Let yourself, rest, vacation, have some fun,.....doing, of 'nothing', is

quite the right,

and fulfilling transiting reality.

 

take care

>From Subscriber: Jonathan, Miami Florida:

 

 

"Dear Mark: I have been enjoying very much your slants on the transits, for

a few

month's now. And, I have to say I'm very struck with how true, the

analysises are.

 

For example, I've been experiencing this quality of the New Moon, now, and

as I'm

allowing myself to rest more I've immediately felt better, more easy, and

much less strain.

 

I have however, a new question.

 

Sometimes, even when I'm allowing myself to be in this "inward mode", as you

call it,

I've cleared my slate, I'm not straining, just taking advantage of this

time, but, I notice,

sometimes,..... that I feel strange.

 

I feel strange, I feel listless, and I worry a little. Why is this?"

 

 

 

"Dear Jonathan: You have just described, not only the benefit of being more

in-tune with

that inwardness of the Moon, however, you've also described one of the

experiences that

can come from even 'success' better, interpretation of the Stars.

 

Do you meditate? Those that meditate, can have a similar experience. When

you meditate,

you create a situation of deep relaxation, in the mind and the body. There

are 2 aspects

to the process of meditation.

 

There's the inward stroke, which is where everything's settling down, and

everything 'feel's great'!

 

However, there's another side and process going on in meditation, as in

life, and the

Physiology, itself. And, that is, what's called the process of "release of

stress."

 

When you meditate, or when you suddenly get enough rest, you can immediately

feel, 'good', ie. that inward part, or you can suddenly go throug pockets,

of "unrest", of "worry", of anxiety, etc, etc,.

 

What's going on, is the body is releasing stress, and though this may feel

uncomfortable, in

reality this is a very good thing.

 

This proces and experience should not be confused with the experience of

stress, coming in!

 

We can experience, "stress", or "anxieties", from two sources.

 

#1, when we're under stress, going through it, the reality of too much,

being loaded on top

of us, can cause this experience.

 

That's why we don't like stress! We don't like negative work situations, or

interpersonal

battles!

 

They can cause stress!

 

However, even in the example, of working too hard for a number of days in a

row, and even when we suddenly catch up on our rest, we can ....

 

#1....find it hard to relax,

#2....we can find ourselves, spinning with thoughts, and lack of an ability

to settle down...

#3...we can experience all manners of anxieties, and uncomfortablenesses....

 

Why?

 

Because in this instance, the "stress" which was there, even building up, is

at this very moment,

coming out!

 

And, it may feel like that!

 

 

Like this, which by the way can also be very similar at night sometimes,

when we have some

very intense dreams, which are very intense, or dark, or upsetting...

what's really going on, is the Physiology is also, releasing stress and

tensions!

 

The way to tell whether this or any experience, is stress coming in!....or

going out! ....is

by looking at your experience of life, a few minutes or even, hours later.

 

In the case of suddenly catching enough rest, and feeling "ill" in the rest

mode, after we get

up and shower, do some yoga, maybe take a walk, and in essence, stop the

process of

unstressing, and smooth out our experience.....

 

then, if we then, feel better!,....this show's us we're doing the right

thing.

 

 

Now, that we understand better, the process of release of stress,....

 

we may notice it comes at a number of interesting situations.

 

I notice, this same experience, around the New Moon, sometimes.

 

With my over 35 year's of meditation experience, at some point I realized,

this same process

of purification, and growth, also is going on, during this deepest point of

inwardness of the Moon!

 

Other times, when really what's going on is the powerful, Cosmic process of

"purification", and growth, is during Saturn periods.

 

When the Moon, move's up toward, Saturn you can have similar experiences.

 

Where most people think that Saturn is causing miseries, losses, feeling of

dread, and grief, ...

really what's going on, is this deep, Cosmic process of purification!

 

So, like we tell "meditators", those that are having these kinds of

experiences, during meditation, we say: "Take it easy, do something, to

smooth out the unstressing! Asanas, yoga

is amazingly wonderful. Take some nice walks. Phone up, 1 friend, go for

that walk. Walk & talk, have fun, and still be easy."

 

 

Great question today, you really helped me understand more profoundly,

what's going on, in the Stars. So, thank you, too!"
