Leo New Moon August 3 2011 — Fiesta Estrellas (Reblogathon Day 5)

Leo New Moon: Self-Hood, Be your Best Self. The self is not just ‘one thing.’ The self is composed of: the lower self, the higher Self, the personality, the ego, and the soul matrix. We have the discipline of psychology to thank for giving us other ‘terms’ such as, Id, Super-ego, and the Unconscious. Altogether, […]

This time I put my older blog post at the top. The date is clearly in the title. Maybe it will make the older posts more accessible. I want to be helpful. How can I help you? I think this was the only post that I am aware of right now that received no comments and no “likes,” since it’s publication. This probably suggests that no one read it. I suppose I could go back and look at the stats if I really want to know for sure. But, I’d rather not. It doesn’t matter. I am the one looking at it. 🙂 Wee… This is why I am doing the reblogathon celebration to blog beside the cheer peppers.

I’m cheating a little bit and blogging the night before my 5th Reblogathon Day. This is fine with Cheer Peppers’ non-formalities–which is why Cheer Peppers are my favorite group to be a part of. The leadership isn’t so heavy-handed. That’s the kind of leader I would like to be if the world ever permits me space to lead– a very subtle leader. My desire is to quietly and gently nudge and aid people in their own desired transformation. What’s a Leo to do? Roar? Well, that never really gets anyone anywhere, does it? Roaring is loud and it actually makes it harder for people to listen to that racket.

When we were teaching my daughter to open her mouth to brush her teeth (with her mouth open), we learned from the Daniel Tiger book (a spin off from the most beloved Mr. Rogers character) to make a “quiet roar.” I like that: “quiet roar.” It would so brilliant if the people in my world would tell me on a regular basis just what it is that I do that is very effective. I want to be effective in the best way, even if that means… doing nothing. That’s right, I’ll step out of the way, and let “it” happen. Is that what is most effective?

Maybe being our best selves is all about, surrendering “ourselves” to the collective in service to that collective and learning to really read the vibes and listen to the feedback, and let the self surrender to going with the all-flow, the pulse of the cosmic wind. I am undecided about this, but I am willing to entertain the thought.

Happy Peppering!

DAY4 ReBLOGathon, free will: nano poblano finale & change challenge, astrology — Fiesta Estrellas

New blog post about the old post starts here:

I managed to blog all of November for 2020 Nanopoblano. Some of you might have been there for that. Today, I took a less thoughtful look at my blog (for my ReBLOGathon this year) and took a random post. This is celebrating time! There was a hiccup yesterday with posting comments on blogs and computer frustration, but it comes with the territory for the blogger.

“Neuroscientists identified a specific aspect of the notion of freedom (the conscious control of the start of the action) and researched it: the experimental results seemed to indicate that there is no such conscious control, hence the conclusion that free will does not exist.”

Free will is still an interesting research topic, just so you know. I originally found Annaka Harris on the Lex Fridman podcast about a month ago. I can see now that all the youtube channels that had links are now unavailable. So I will now link to Lex’s website:here where I ended up getting the podcast. I’m really not concluded on free will vs. not free will. However, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we find out that free will is an illusion. No. Surprise. Here. She discusses the difference between “free will” and “conscious will.” I think her conversation with Lex is worth considering. She said it’s her game to break up intuition to find deeper understanding about the nature of reality. She’s a bit of a disruptor. Good for her. She means well. She does not talk about astrology. I don’t blame her 🙂 Be nice, she feels more comfortable writing than speaking. She still checks things with her intuition and is “a physicist at heart.”

This is my final blog post for the November Nano Poblano Challenge, and I’ve been blogging every day, all month! This was a challenge I didn’t think I’d take on with such a busy schedule, but alas, I did it! I’ll be linking all my blog posts here at the bottom. It’s also the day […]

[Unable to leave comments] celebration interrupted

Hello, I don’t know if this post will work, but when I’ve written comments on Cheer Pepper posts, my comments aren’t working. I’m having technical difficulties and it’s a little bit frustrating because I have such little time and I really try so hard to devote myself to other people. My sincere apologies for those of you who don’t get to know that I am reading your blogs. The funny thing is that I did not get an error message.

New Moon Awareness from Head to Toe — Fiesta Estrellas (Reblogathon Day 3)

With current astrology the Lunar eclipse is the earthly experience of a celestial event taking place November 8, depending on your subjective view from the location on the Earth where you inhabit. See the chart below.

One of best criticisms of astrology can also be one of its best attributes: so much of it can be relevant at *any time.* If we can truly tap into universal wisdom–it is timeless. Also what makes astrology so special is, well, time. But what is it about time that makes it so special? Shall we see it as restrictive and prohibitive (some attributes that Saturn gets tagged with) or liberating and applied like applied science, like “applied time” (the Uranian side of things)? Time is nothing without “how we use it.” But perhaps the most basic thing to realize about astrology is also one of its criticisms: Astrology is symbolic. Aquarius is often the sign that gets associated with astrology and astrologers. My own ascendant and my S.Node (past life) are in Aquarius, the sign of the quirky, trailblazer. I’ve experienced the energy and measurement of both of its rulers: Saturn and Uranus. These are symbols and they don’t mean too much to people otherwise if they can’t see or understand symbols or symbolic language. I am defining astrology here as “symbolism applied over time to celestial movements and observations.” The LINK below is my first EVER post on Fiestaestrellas over 11 years ago. It’s got the strong flavor of New Moon and Pisces…. Not our current aspects and configurations.

5 min meditation — Fiesta Estrellas: Reblogathon (DAY2)

Here is the older post 4/9/20

Hello 👋! I hope everyone is staying healthy and or moving in that direction. I know it’s a hard time for all of us. I recorded a 5 minute meditation for you. It’s at this link: https://fiestaestrellas.com/2015/03/18/mindfulness-meditation-track-5-minutes/ I wanted to offer what I can to help bring some grounding and centering into your day with […]

5 min meditation — Fiesta Estrellas

Here begins the new post:

With excitement comes much needed meditation. One day I collected all these plumeria. I couldn’t believe how amazing this smell was, how sweet and yet grounding. Kauai was the island where I received the name Ka Malana (2011). It’s been my pen name/spiritual name ever since. Right now, as before, I have my daily meditation practice–but somehow I still need more. It’s because I am busier. As I learn to become more active, more efficient, and take on more, I also need to learn to ground more. It’s a continuous process. Please let your creativity flow today, or be settled, or both. How about both?

Creativity & Calm.
