9 Sun/AHAU

Greetings on this day 9 (patience), Sun/AHAU (dedication to oneness, connectedness to the ancestors)

Galactic Tone 9
The energy of 9 is about getting a better perspective of the big picture. With the energy of 9, plans or patterns begin to come to completion. Patience and perserverance found in the bigger picture are strong or there is great suffering for the lack thereof. A completion of cycles of action is all-important to nine.

Sun/AHAU
Sun or light is the day song of completion and this will tend to have consequences for those that are born into it. They are often romantic enthusiastic visionaries with artistic abilities – and easily perceived as dreamers. It seems because they have been born into this spiritual sign of completion, they find it diffucult to understand tha the world around them has not yet arrived at such a high state and instead is dominated by materialistic or greedy motives. Thus, in confrontations with “real” life, they will often be perceived as unrealistic. A series of disappointments may then lead the Sun to shun responsibility an not accept the necessary correctie measures. Nonetheless, Sun persons will retain a natural spirituality that is the birthright of the last of the Day Keeper signs. The challenge is to approach life realistically without compromising the great dreams that they have. Also, they are enlightened persons that will carry the universal fire. They have the commitment in this life in bewing the candle that will illuminate the path for those who are behind them.

Color: Yellow
Yellow represents the direction of the South, a direction of fulfillment or coming to fruit. South also represents the body and the earth – open, warm, friendly and full of feeling. Red signs may experience Yellow days with mystery or surprise, White – as challenge or strengthening, and Blue/Black – as a day of support and comfort.

Dark Day
A dark period is not some evil period, but a time of rest to reflect on what has been learned or to apply what is now known.

Together 8 and Sun/AHAU guide us to look at the big picture and hold fast to our dreams, as we continue to persevere – living in the material world. Our highest good is found in holding the light for those that follow.

Love in a Recipe - Mom's Chocolate Sheet Cake

One of the things I love about my Mom, is that everyone who enters the door is offered something wonderful from her kitchen - this is my favorite thing. This is seriously one of the best recipes in my entire collection - the fastest and BEST chocolate cake you will ever lay hands on. You just can't screw this up!

Mom's Chocolate Sheet Cake

The Cake...
2 Cups Flour
2 Cups Sugar
1 Stick Butter
5 Tablespoons Hershey's Cocoa
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 Cup Water
1 Teaspoon Soda
1/2 Cup Buttermilk
2 Eggs
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 Cup Oil

First - preheat the oven to 400 degrees (that is not a typo).
Get a big sauce pan, you are going to mix the batter in there. Melt the butter with the oil, water, and cocoa and bring to a boil. Take off the stove immediately, and add all the dry ingredients, EXCEPT THE SODA. Dissolve the soda in the 1/2 Cup of Buttermilk, then add this, the eggs, and vanilla and mix till smooth. Pour batter into a sheet cake pan - those big pans that are a little deeper than a cookie sheet. (I line mine with parchment paper, or grease and dust it with flour.) Bake for 20 minutes ONLY, or until it springs back.

The frosting...
You are going to use the same saucepan, so rinse and start over for the frosting. This doesn't take long, and you pour it over the cake while it is still hot - only 5 minutes out of the oven... so I usually start this about 5 minutes BEFORE the cake is done.

1 Stick Butter
5 Tablespoons Hershey's Cocoa
1/3 Cup Buttermilk
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 Box (2 1/2 Cups) Powdered Sugar
1/2 Cup chopped pecans (optional)

Melt the butter with the cocoa til well dissolved. Add the buttermilk and vanilla - mix. Add the powdered sugar and keep this on a low burner... just to keep it from setting while you are mixing. By now, your cake should be out of the oven - add the nuts if you want them in the frosting - then pour this over the cake. (The frosting sets up like a homemade MMMMM fudge and holds all the moisture in the cake... will stay moist for days like that.)

OMG - Never baked this for ANYONE that they didn't go ape over it. You can leave out the cinnamon, though just a tad is unrecognizable - just "something" good people can't quite put their finger on. TRY IT.

I'm packing boxes for my move, and just couldn't bear the thought of not being able to find this recipe that I love so much. Hope you enjoy it. AND THANK YOU MOM!
