Inspired Endeavor: BigMirror.orgA friend of mine is involved with this educational project from BigMirror.org. They've leased one of the satellites orbiting the Earth to take photographs of our planet from December 20 to 22. They're asking people to turn off ALL their house lights during the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year, on December 21. That's quite a challenge during the Holiday Season! The photos on the 20th & 22nd will serve as comparisons. We'll be able to see how much light pollution we generate! While we got to participate this year, you can sign up now for 2004! Enter your email on their page, and they'll send you a reminder email on Dec 20, 2004. Since this is a multi-year word-of-mouth project, we'll be able to compare 2003 to 2004 and see a difference! The photos will be posted a few weeks after the event. BigMirror.org's website also has lesson plans for teachers. How much energy will we save by turning off our lights for JUST ONE NIGHT?! Spitzer Space Telescope
Launched Aug. 25 from Cape Canaveral, Fla., the Spitzer Space Telescope is the fourth of NASA's Great Observatories, a program designed to paint a more comprehensive picture of the cosmos using different wavelengths of light. While the other Great Observatories have probed the universe with visible light (Hubble Space Telescope), gamma rays (Compton Gamma Ray Observatory) and X-rays (Chandra X-ray Observatory), the Spitzer Space Telescope observes the cosmos in the infrared. Spitzer's unprecedented sensitivity allows it to sense infrared radiation, or heat, from the most distant, cold and dust-obscured celestial objects. And the photos are crisp and gorgeous! Cool Customer Quotes"Thank you so much for the birthchart necklace you made for me. It is so personal and it truly has the feeling of ME in it - it's truly amazing but it somehow already had my vibration attached to it before I began looking at it in detail! "I sincerely hope that your business does so well because of the style, love and finesse you give to each necklace. "Thank you also for the report that came with - it gave extra insights to what I've already uncovered through my own delving into astrology. With Love and Thanks, |

Astronomy and Astrology: SaturnSaturn is Capricorn's Ruling Planet, which means it is at its greatest strength when it falls in Capricorn or in the 10th House.
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and is the second largest in the solar system. Much of what is known about the planet is due to the Voyager explorations in 1980-81.
The atmosphere is primarily composed of hydrogen with small amounts of helium and methane. Saturn is the only planet less dense than water. In the unlikely event that a large enough ocean could be found, Saturn would float in it!
Saturn's ring system makes the planet one of the most beautiful objects in the solar system. The rings may have been formed from larger moons that were shattered by impacts of comets and meteoroids. The ring composition is not known for certain, but the rings show a significant amount of water. They may be composed of icebergs and/or snowballs from a few centimeters to a few meters in size.
Saturn's day is 10 hours, 39 minutes long, and it takes 29.5 Earth years to revolve about the Sun. This 29-year orbit is called your "Saturn Return" by astrologers, and is almost always a pivotal moment in your life.
In astrology, Saturn teaches us some of the hardest lessons in life. According to Mooncatsastrology.com, in order to survive we need to conform to some kind of social order and structure. While that may seem to stifle our creativity, in order to make lasting contributions to society, we must first show proper respect for it.
Saturn is father time. He limits us, and in so doing gives form and structure to our lives. Saturn represents your higher voice, anyone older or wiser than you, those in authority, and any established social order. He is your father, police officer, boss, sergeant, rulebook, school system, judge and government. Saturn keeps you on track, or holds you back, depending on your point of view!
Saturn represents patience, boundaries, restrictions, and life karma. Many astrologers discuss Saturn with a you poor thing look in their eyes. However, Saturn is a great helper. Saturn helps you separate what is real and appropriate in your life from that which is not.
If you have been holding tightly to a relationship that has long lost its reason for being, Saturn will come along to help you release. If you want to start a new business, Saturn will help you do the work necessary for it to succeed.
The trouble comes when you say you want something but are not willing to bring forth the energy necessary for it to manifest. Saturn will help you, but you must do your part. Saturn also requires you to be patient and approach your goals over the long term. If you impatiently want what you want, and want it now, Saturn is likely to teach you some lessons in hard work and perseverance.

Living by "The Four Agreements"
Miguel Ruiz's little book of ancient Toltec wisdom changed my life. The Four Agreements are four simple little rules that I use to guide my actions on the spot. When that little moment comes when I'm either going to act impetuously or walk my path properly, I check these guidelines. And I'm inevitably happy with my choice. --Alicia
The Four Agreements:
1) Be impeccable with your word.
(speak with integrity; say only what you mean)
2) Don't take anything personally.
(nothing others do is because of you)
3) Don't make assumptions.
(find the courage to ask questions and express what you really want)
4) Always do your best.
(and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret)
(Available at the cool little bookstore near you, or from amazon.com)
