Ring out the old year with a blue moon and eclipse…. 2009/2010… New Year’s revelers will see a second full moon in a month!!

Eclipses of the moon occur twice a year, on average. Each eclipse is visible only on the half of the Earth turned towards the moon at the time the Earth’s shadow falls on the moon.

There will be a partial eclipse of the moon on New Year’s Eve, Dec. 31, 2009. Because of its timing, it will not be visible in North and South America, but will be visible over most of Europe, Africa, and Asia.

Tortoise Totems

Tortoise totems have a strong psychic connection to mother earth. In myth and folklore the tortoise represents determination and longevity. Tortoises have high domed shells and heavy elephant like hind legs. The weight of its shell keeps it from moving too fast. The heaviness of its hind legs gives it the strength to carry heavy loads. Those with this totem often carry the loads of others as well as the burdens of self. They make good therapists but must be careful not to take on the problems of other people. The tortoise is a land bound creature and is exclusively terrestrial. One of the most ancient and adaptable creatures, the tortoise holds the energy of patience and perseverance. They are very sensitive to the environment in which they live and have a strong psychic connection to mother earth. Extreme changes in climatic conditions can affect their overall disposition.
