No Gap and No Lack
New Moon
April 5, 2008
16° Aries 44’
What is your vision? What will you author? What will you produce, initiate or invent? What will you design? What will you architect?
What story are you telling? Is it time for a plot twist or turn? Is it time for the heroine or hero to have the change of heart and renewed strength that conquers?
The New Moon in Aries highlights your vision. Do you see an end in sight, peace in the valley and goals fulfilled? It does not matter that you perceive yourself to be a bewildering distance from your goal, off the mark, off your heart. Maybe you do not even know what the goal is. What do you want that you can have?
Take heart. You cannot really get off the line, little fishy. Nor are you lost. Listen to your heart. Be still. You are connected. You are part of a vast network of goodness and fulfillment, though you may not know it. The universe wants you to have what you want to have.
Recently I noticed that my list of wait-till-later and if-and-when was growing longer. I had, as my friend Melonie says, “more month than money.” Actually, it was not a list. It was a floating mish-mash in my head and a growing feeling that I was letting myself down, not up to snuff, not quite enough. I have been granted many wishes, but what had I done for myself lately?
At the beginning of the year I told my sister Wanda of this mish-mash in my head. I told her of my realization that if I intended to have my needs met—some of them basic to peace of mind—I needed to put the list on paper with the intention of having it. I told Wanda I would do it, and I did.
Why was the list important? Intention. I felt that no matter how long the list was compared to my money; if I didn’t set my needs forth, I wasn’t intending to have those things. The list would grow without me even knowing what was on the list.
The list clarified the gap between the wealth at my disposal and the wealth I was disposing. In other words, I wasn’t making enough money. But I knew I wasn’t to fall into the gap. Now that I had my list, I would simply add my gratitude for its fulfillment, and anything else that came to me to be fulfilled in my life.
I put small things and big things on my list—nice, figure-flattering clothes for work, a remodel for my apartment or a house, whichever came first, and a new computer, to name a few. I also asked for fulfillment in the lives of near and dear ones.
Lists are funny, I have found. They have a way of getting accomplished, even if totally forgotten once made. The first time I saw this was when I wanted a place to live in Brooklyn and I listed the things I wanted to have in and around my new apartment. I found the list years later. Of the 13 things on the list, 10 were fulfilled, but they were fulfilled in Los Angeles. California. I had no inkling of an idea to move to California when I made the list.
This current list of 10 items was made on January 14th of 2008. Two of them have been fulfilled already. And into my life has come a way to fulfill the rest of my list and then some. I believe the list was a big part of attracting the way.
So will you make such a list? And end it as I did mine:
“I am thankful that truly there is no gap and no lack and so these things are mine for the asking.” Put the list in an envelope and away in a drawer. Mark your calendar for 3 months hence, open your envelope and be amazed at what you can check off as accomplished.
