Scientists work mainly by metaphor…the kinds of metaphors used to shape our thinking are changing. What we are coming to understand is that the process of reform is complex; it is messy; it is lively and it is an adventure…we are beginning to see the structures, form and patterns in the work of reform, recognizing that things must always be in flux.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
The elements are always the same, but they keep rearranging themselves. So, it is like a kaleidoscope; the world is a matter of patterns that change, that partly repeat, but never quite repeat. It is important to realize that the game you are in keeps changing, so that it is up to you to figure out the current rules of the game…as it is now being played. This means you can apply force to the maximum effect. You don’t waste it..the idea is to observe, to act courageously, and to pick your timing extremely well.<o:p></o:p>

On this Wednesday, we remain in the wake of the eclipse of August 28, 2007 at 6:36 am EDT. This prevailing eclipse occurred in the sign of Pisces. This means that four astrological signs will be greatly influenced by this sky event. Those are Pisces, Virgo, Gemini and Sagittarius. And yes, the eclipse has a particular influence for all of us. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Full moons are exciting and pulsating but “full moon total eclipses” have extra amperage. They rev with vibration that change the course of our lives. They draw particular attention to some task, some change, some energy that will absorb an extra-ordinary amount of our thought and time. <o:p></o:p>
Sometimes, we are the ones that generate the change. <o:p></o:p>
Sometimes the change is created for us. <o:p></o:p>
Either way, the eclipses are like the “Big Ben Bong” that bounces from the unseen workings of the clock. In other words, changes come suddenly to produce new pathways, new ideas and new circumstances.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
You may suddenly realize a habit, a routine, a thought groove or a pattern has simply been outgrown. Basically, it has been pushed aside and a whole new set of circumstances are present. These different circumstances are there for you to work with, play with and definitely to master. Most humans don’t like to get out of their groves of habit. The change that presents itself forces growth and that eventually equals experience, speciality and wisdom and of course, most definitely transformation.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
With this eclipse occurring in Pisces we all can expect: <o:p></o:p>
a depth of feelings, <o:p></o:p>
a urge to create, <o:p></o:p>
spontaneous spiritual awakenings,
confusing emotions that defy logic, <o:p></o:p>
a desire to minister to others, <o:p></o:p>
and sometimes, a big dose of divine discontentment. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
You may feel that you are swimming in water but not making much headway. You will certainly be aware of strange stimuli. All of this energy is to assist you in altering your path. After a time, it may seem like magic instead of chaos.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
The big difference between an eclipse full moon and an ordinary monthly full moon is the force and its consequences will last for many months. If you performed a research of your past and historical eclipses…you might be surprised to find that many of the big shifts and changes in your life were made on the advent of an eclipse.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
The additional amperage and power of this eclipse comes from a Total Solar Eclipse occurring this September 11th, 07 at 18 degrees of Virgo. Saturn will mirror the August Lunar Eclipse as it moves into Virgo on September 2 (Labor Day) and it will trigger the its power at four different times: October 07, March 08 and June 08. ( Lyn presents useful clues on this special eclipse and how to design a more productive life with Saturn in Virgo (a 30 month journey for Saturn): http://www.multiversityconference.com/planetaryroundtable.htm <o:p></o:p>

Your challenge:<o:p></o:p>
It is at first to deal with the newness of circumstances that you may not like;<o:p></o:p>
To stay open to the grandness of possibilities that comes from change.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
So like our scientific writer “M. Mitchell Waldrop above states:<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
The elements are always the same, <o:p></o:p>
but they keep rearranging themselves. <o:p></o:p>
So, it is like a kaleidoscope; <o:p></o:p>
the world is a matter of patterns that change,<o:p></o:p>
that partly repeat, but never quite repeat. <o:p></o:p>
It is important to realize that the game you are in keeps changing,<o:p></o:p>
so that it is up to you to figure out the current rules of the game…<o:p></o:p>
as it is now being played. <o:p></o:p>
This means you can apply force to the maximum effect. <o:p></o:p>
You don’t waste it. <o:p></o:p>
the idea is to observe, to act courageously and to pick your timing extremely well.<o:p></o:p>
