Full Moon in Cancer -- 5:48 am EST
Salvador
Dali, Moon (for a tarot deck)
The full moon in the sign of Cancer happens only once a year, when the sun is in the sign of Capricorn. This is a good time to assess your physical, emotional and spiritual needs; balancing home and family with work and the outside world. Where do you need to take more (or less) responsibility? Are you taking care of yourself, physically as well as emotionally? The next two weeks are the time to ask these questions and make the necessary changes.
One of the subjects that has interested me since I was a child is astrology. It began the summer I stayed at my grandmother’s house and found her copy of American Astrologer magazine. I was 13 and searching for what my life would become. She enjoyed my curiosity and explained the little bit she knew about the signs and the planets. We found out we were both Geminis, discussed the feelings we had in common, and built a close bond that lasts to this day. I was hooked.
Many of my friends have a hard time reconciling my interest in astrology with the pragmatic scientific side that I show the world. But, what passes as ‘astrology’ in popular culture–your daily horoscope–is not real astrology. It’s like reading the two sentence review of a film instead of actually viewing it, very general and not very useful!
I am planning to mark some of the larger astrological occurrences here. Hopefully they’ll spark your interest in finding out a little bit more about the real workings of astrology.

I have been known to be a sucker for personality tests. This one says that I’m a Skydiver, with a sub-type of Seeker. Here is
some of what it says:
“You’re open minded, extroverted, free-spirited, and independent. Chances are you’re pretty liberal. And, thanks to that healthy dose of self-confidence, you’re super-flexible. You’re a great leader, a self-starter, and will always volunteer to take on a job.
You’re an excellent communicator and tend to spread your enthusiasm to others.”
Hmmmm.......Too bad I can’t date myself. They made me sound outstanding! I guess I'll have to poll my friends and co-workers to see if it's accurate. I do know that I volunteer for way too many things--gets me in trouble all the time!
The web site states that the test was built by a team of PhD's from Yale, Duke, and Northeastern. The mini report is free. I bet they say wonderful things to everyone!
Thanks to Charly at Driver 8 for pointing me to this.
