Dear
MoonCat Visitor,
The
heat is REALLY on!
We
get 100+ weather here, but it does cool down at night. I've been
busy making my home a cozier, cleaner place, gardening, and also
working on being calm while I accomplish many things on my list. I'm
learning to take my time, and to know that all good things come when
I wish them, with faith, joy and patience in the process...
My
first Metaphysical Mewsings newsletter was launched, and I'm almost
done with an astrology calendar with romantic themes and art by my
friend Suvena for 2006. Work on other projects goes forward...
including a divination deck for lovers. I'll keep you posted!
Love
& Blessings,
Danielle

How
to Treat your Leo |
|
|
|
 Your
Leo is independent - yet family oriented; highly organized and
efficient - yet demanding of others. Leo is King or Queen of the
castle, and wants everyone to know it! Shining brightly through that
magnificent mane is a great joy for living... a completely self-contained
world of fun and creativity. Leo wants the outer world to be just as
shiny as she strives to be, and will go to any lengths to achieve it.
Your
Leo needs to be happy with how the world perceives him. If enough
praise is not forthcoming, you will have a sulky, growly lion! Make
sure you take time to compliment, heavily. And please don't criticize
overtly - make sly little helpful suggestions instead. Leo is very
sensitive, but bounces back easily because he can't stand
unhappiness. Life is too fun, and creative opportunities too tempting
for Leo to be out of the action for long.
Remember
that you are part of your Sun-God or Goddess' world. Your reputation
is just as important to your Leo as her own. Do your best to look
good, sound dignified and make your space organized and attractive.
Sweep the dirt out of public view, and don't forget to comb your hair!
Feed
your Leo with joyful, sunny surroundings, the laughter of children,
organized spaces and free-time to roam. Keep competition far away
from your very territorial animal. Shower her with cuddly affection,
your undying love and devotion, and most of all PRAISE. You will be
rewarded with a glowing soul whose heart radiates with blissful
devotion to your needs. Your Leo is sure to passionately love, defend
and protect you. It's his job!

How
to Treat your Virgo |
|
|
|
 Your
Virgo is an Earth Angel, a swift, intelligent Mercury without wings,
a dynamically aware work-force. She notices everything. He is hyper-awake.
Virgo,
though unassuming, kind and shy, is one of the strongest signs in
the Zodiac. This is intelligent earthiness - discerning practicality
- a strong yet gentle kindness and nurturing born of sheer common
sense. Your Virgo strives to be a model of perfection. She loves to
please you! He is driven to impress you with his talent for making
the most out of the best!
Mercury's
other child, Gemini, is a much more lighthearted, air-born spirit.
While Gemini is busy gathering so much knowledge, Virgo insists on
action and wants to know what will be done with the information at
hand. The question is always - "of what practical use is
this?" A master at taking things apart and analyzing them -
Virgo always finds room for improvement.
Feed
your Virgo with uncluttered surroundings, a practical, frugal budget
and pure, beautiful speech. Make healthful foods a priority. Take the
trash out often. Iron your clothes. Ask your Virgo for help - Virgo
lives to serve! Remind your Virgo how much you appreciate his careful
choices. Tell her how impressed you are with her impeccable taste and
well thought out advice. Make her a part of your life-improvement
team! You will be rewarded with an eternal help-mate, and a devoted, down-to-earth,
sensual, soft-hearted, compassionate lover.

The
Sun and Leo |
|
|
|
 The
Sign Leo is associated with the Sun in Tarot.
The
child in his garden knows he is loved. He is safe and carefree, and
basks in the healing light of the Sun. He is surrounded by greenery
and vibrant life - the lush valley nurtures him, and the majestic
mountains protect him from harm. Whether he has an inner knowing that
all is well, or he is blessed with the loving arms of family and
friends, his reality is that life will go on and he will enjoy every moment.
The
Sun is about this feeling. This is the place where nothing can go
wrong. I compare the feeling to a family picnic, vacation or outing,
free from strife. The Sun is a day off from work with no
responsibilities, the clear skies after a storm or the warm feeling
of release and joy associated with a loving or sexual embrace. No
worries, pure joy.
When
I see this card in a reading, it warms up the surrounding cards and
encourages a happy outcome. Although there are times when an adjacent
card can put a damper on the Sun's reassurance, the life force that
emanates from our very own star still insists on keeping us warm and
safe. The Sun nurtures our creativity and fuels our hopes and dreams.
The vitality of this card, for me, shines through any negative energy
and sheds a hopeful light.

Mewsings
from Venus & Mars... August 2005 |

Venus
and Mars Signs
Venus
in Virgo ... 'til August 17th can help us get into those little
details that can make love and living a perfect delight. The
pleasures of nature may come into greater focus and clarity, and we
may appreciate the beauty of our world and our loved ones - even
noticing those small things that at other times may elude us.
This
is the time to work on perfection within ourselves and in our
surroundings - to eliminate clutter and get down to what is real in
our hearts. Attending to the finer points may be easier, and as long
as we keep our observations positive and constructive, this place for
Virgo offers amazing benefits. Venus in Virgo goes well with Mars in
Taurus, with a focus on natural, sensuous pleasures, and practical endeavors.
Mars
is in Taurus... 'til February 17. 2006... wow, quite a long stay
in Taurus! Mars will be retrograde Oct.2 to Dec.3, '05, prolonging
and intensifying this influence on our planet of action. Get ready
for some intense male energy... strong, determined, stubborn,
sensual, tactile, acquisitive, musical, artistic - basically into
making life comfortable, pleasing and secure. Major life changes are
bound to be difficult to achieve during this time. Slow and steady
will win the race.
Venus
in Libra... from August 17th to Sept. 11th simply loves love,
and sees everything through the eyes of love and relationship. With
Mars in also Venus- ruled Taurus, one can't help but feel this will
be the perfect time to settle into a cozy, beautiful relationship.
If
the arts and music call to you, answer with all your heart. The
planets support your efforts with voices from the angels. Take
advantage of this comforting energy to make your relationships and
your creations the most harmonious they can possibly be. Creating
beauty in your world is what it's all about.
