The moon was New on Wednesday, April 10, at 4:35 AM here in Saint Louis. It is the first new moon of the astrological New Year, and Mercury is up to speed.
Cast your spell.
The time and the energy right now is SO powerful. Possibilities that have never existed before are opening up in so many ways. The past is cleansed, the present is blessed, and the future is ripe with opportunities.
For me, this profound shift has occurred not because the world changed, or that I changed worlds. Since returning here, particularly at the end of 09, I have been living in a Haunted House of my past.
There are places here, where every experience is really two: what is happening in the present, and then also comparing it to what my experiences were in the past at that same location, or among the same or similar people.
But I wanted to get over it, and release it. Sometimes that meant getting angry and sometimes it meant letting go of anger.
And sometimes, a rare and magickal moment comes along. A golden moment.
Something unexpected shows up. It's the beginning of every great story and every great adventure in the story.
I was just watching Harvey, the movie with Jimmy Stewart and the giant hare Harvey, the Pooka.
Elwood P. Dowd, Jimmy Stewart's character, has this to say about golden moments:
"Harvey and I have things to do... we sit in the bars... have a drink or two... play the juke box. Very soon the faces of all the other people turn towards me and they smile. They say: 'We don't know your name, mister, but you're a very nice fellow.' Harvey and I warm ourselves in these golden moments. We came as strangers - soon we have friends. They come over. They sit with us. They drink with us. They talk to us. They tell us about the great big terrible things they've done and the great big wonderful things they're going to do. Their hopes, their regrets. Their loves, their hates. All very large, because nobody ever brings anything small into a bar."
I was at a bar the other night, a rare place, where such moments have the occasion to happen. Even the name is rare "Blue Moon", Pop's Blue Moon to be precise.
I was listening to a new reggae band, the YardSqaud, on the Hill.
I went out to have a drink that night originally, to escape- to have a few drinks and just forget about my life for a minute. What I remembered while I was there is that I need to forget about my past, and start paying attention to all the great experiences this city has to offer me right now in my present.
The only time a person can truly get overwhelmed is to live beyond the present time and company.

If I were the author of a story "Lady Rae's Adventures in 2013 Saint Louis" I could not have imagined a better place for her to be! And this is a city of numerous, multiple good bars and entertainment venues.
I will be reading tarot cards there beginning this Saturday, April 13, from 4:30 to 7:30. The readings are $5 and usually 5 or 10 minutes and usually 3 cards, generally good for one situation or question, or just to see where you are at, at the moment. If you only what happy news, ask for the Happy Hour reading. :D
The readings are held in a private area in the back room. Come have a chat with me and my Pooka. ;P
Happy Spring New Moon!!!!

Well, I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it. --Elwood P. Dowd
