Hawaii's Best - Guide to Travel Tips, Vacation, and Local Business in Hawaii
What if the biggest mistakes I made in Hawaii weren't about what I did, but how I showed up?After 200 episodes and 30 trips, I'm sharing seven hard-won lessons that changed how I experience Hawaii and travel everywhere else.You'll walk away with a clearer sense of what respect really means, why slowing down creates better memories, and how to see Hawaii as more than just a backdrop.
We explore the “28° Sagittarius New Moon Searches Eternal Truth”.The 28°25' Sagittarius New Moon cosmic energies peak on 19 December at 8:43 p.m. EST (Washington DC) and 4:43 p.m. UT (Greenwich, UK). This week we synthesize with the New Moon astrology, numerology, tarot, Jyotish Nakshatra, and Sabian Symbols—a mystical imagery set serving as a unique tool for personal exploration and astrological insight.This is a very thoughtful New Moon despite most all the planets now traveling direct except for a few still traveling in apparent retrograde motion. They are expansive Jupiter, the awakener Uranus, alchemist Chiron, and inclusive disrupter Eris. However, our thoughts rotate as Mercury, now totally out of its recent retrograde path, positions square to the Lunar Nodes. Often called the bendings, our focus turns to the south node in Virgo to figure what form of its archetype we personally need to release. Because Jupiter that rules this new moon makes efforts to adjust to what values really are at the core of understanding a renewed belief system that might include all of oneself as well as in recognition of others. A tall order unless we are willing to readjust our alliances with refocused values.Joining Sue Rose Minahan from Kailua-Kona, Big Island, HI, are Justin Crockett Elzie of Port Angeles, WA, and Elizabeth (Liz) Muschett from Camano Island, WA.
