We continue in the energy of Pluto, planet of transformation and upheaval – or the death of your false Self and the birth of your Authentic Self. Yes, there are parts of you in operation that have been indoctrinated by family, community, culture as well as your country – behaviors, beliefs, opinions and attitudes that you have adopted, rather than choosing consciously.
Is it shocking to consider this? You were taught from a young age what to believe and what was acceptable – and then you live your life either following directions or rebelling against them, or some combination of the two.
If you were blessed to have parents who were secure enough to encourage you to think for yourself, you may have learned to examine your feelings and desires in order to make choices that were authentic for you. This is so rare, I don’t know many people who had that experience.
As a conscious adult, you continue to discover layers of beliefs, behaviors and ways of operating that aren’t working for you. When you have a Pluto experience, the planet of transformation either brings up non-working patterns or tears down shaky or outdated structures in your life.
Although it may not feel like it in the moment, this is a gift because it’s like having a neon sign pointing out: “NOT WORKING, NOT WORKING!” You don’t have to be a genius to discern where the problem is!
Pluto is squaring Uranus (the rebel, revolutionary, innovator), so think of the “Occupy Wall Street” people – this is the energy of the Pluto/Uranus square. They’re mad as hell and they’re not going to take it any more! Where is this happening in your life? What have you been putting up with that just feels intolerable now? This is your own personal “protest” area!
Here’s what to do:
- Step 1 – Get clear about what’s not working because you must identify what needs correction.
- Step 2 – Decide on your next step to move forward. It’s hard to have a plan if you don’t know where you’re going, so just feel into what’s the next right thing for you.
- Step 3 – Commit to doing whatever is necessary to move forward in your life. It is time. Baby steps count – and they won’t freak you out or overwhelm you. Find the rhythm that’s right for you.
Just take some action – and please get help. You can’t guide yourself through new territory with your old thinking!
Sending you love and blessings. I’m an example of what’s possible. No matter where you are in life, you can heal and grow and become who you came here to be – it’s never too late!

Full Moon in Aries – Oct 11, ’11
7:06 pm PDT ~ 10:06 pm EDT
A Full Moon is when things come to light and it’s also the culmination of things and the Full Moon in Aries is on Oct 11th. You can expect emotional energy to increase over the weekend and early next week as we approach the Full Moon on Tuesday night (potentially escalating tension), so easy does it.
Aries is the maverick, the pioneer, the warrior, and with this energy, you want it YOUR way – direct, energetic and action-oriented. Libra is the other-oriented, sign of peace, harmony, balance and beauty. Libra is “the mirror,” who desires compromise, connection and loves a win-win (a Libra dream come true!)
The task at hand is to assess your ability to take action and be assertive without being a steamroller vs. your ability to compromise without sacrificing your own needs. Check in with yourself and see what needs adjusting so that your masculine/feminine aspects are in balance, therefore making you more effective in your life as well as in the world.
Whatever you’re attracting in your life that you don’t like is mirroring some part of you that’s unconscious, and you’ve called it in to awaken you. Pluto is squaring Uranus, so when people or aspects of life feel oppressive, slow down and check in with yourself. The intensity in relationships right now is off the charts!
Have you given up your power and called in a bully or manipulator to reflect that? Or are you the dominant player? These are just two sides of one coin and Pluto often brings power struggles. If you’re confronted with this energy, don’t engage. I suggest that you withdraw and go within to discern what part you play in this drama.
Uranus squaring Pluto may compel you to seek freedom and authenticity wherever you feel trapped by life circumstances. Be brave and make those revolutionary changes – take the conscious leap!
Until you identify what’s out of alignment, you can’t make an effective correction. Therefore, it will serve you to do explore what’s really happening beneath the surface when you experience a relationship challenge of any kind.
You may discover that you are operating in ways that surprise or even horrify you – not at all what you intended! – but don’t resist the information. Awareness provides you with the opportunity to heal shadow energy – and please seek help if you aren’t able to correct it yourself.
Jupiter (expansion, more) is opposite Venus (love, $$, pleasure) indicating strong desires for love, passion and potential excess, so beware of overdoing it. Too much of anything will shift you out of balance.
Remember the principle of the Tao – Yin (Divine Feminine) and Yang (Awakened Masculine)
They are two parts of the whole, and both need to be developed for optimal functioning.
All is in Divine order.
Be compassionate with yourself and with others and remember that everyone (including you!) is doing the best they can. ♥

experience of every circumstance we are in. We all have response-ability.”

The Sun and three other planets – Mercury, Venus, and Saturn – are in Libra right now.
This bundle of energy inspires a need for balance, peace, harmony, communication and commitment in relationships.
How do you feel about commitment? Is it comforting, giving you a sense of security or do you feel trapped by it? This is a wonderful time to examine your beliefs and feelings about relationships, as Venus and Saturn (love and commitment) sit together.
Libra is the mirror - what you encounter in others is a message for you. Your job is to interpret the information that you receive through these interactions and take personal responsibility for what you create.
If you experience loving, supportive, harmonious exchanges while operating from your authentic Self, you are in flow. If you find yourself feeling uncomfortable or acting in ways that aren’t working for you, it’s a sign that you need a course correction.
If you don’t know what changes you need to make – or how to go about making them, I urge you to seek help from a trusted adviser. It can be challenging to see beyond your blind spots and we ALL need support when adjusting our usual way of being, or when evolving.
Uranus (change) continues to square Pluto (transformation), so there is the potential for ongoing discomfort where you’re out of alignment or where you’re being encouraged to release what’s complete, not working, or outdated.
This is a time of taking personal responsibility for all your creations – and relationships highlight your behavior patterns so you can learn and grow from them.
Be compassionate with yourself and others – and remember, everyone’s doing the best they can. ♥

4:09 am PDT ~ 7:09 am EDT
This New Moon is in the “other”-oriented sign of Libra. The New Moon is about new beginnings – time to take actions toward what you want to create in your life.
Libra is ruled by Venus, planet of love, beauty, and harmony, and the focus is on relationships, your physical presentation, your aesthetic surroundings, balance, money, giving and receiving, creativity, and love, love, love.
Here are some questions for you to ask yourself regarding Libra/Venus issues:
- Are you comfortable with your relationship dynamics, whether friendship, romantic, or professional?
- Is your giving and receiving in balance, whether it’s love, money, or whatever else you value?
- Regarding your beliefs around money and how you seek to fulfill your desires, are you operating from a place of possibility and moving toward a dream – or from a place of fear, a belief in lack, or acceptance of the status quo?
- Does your body, mind and Spirit need some pampering or just a rest? We are very busy people these days and you often don’t realize just how tired you are.
- Does your outward style reflect your authentic Self or is it time to update your look?
- Is it time to redecorate and spruce up your home or workplace? (Flowers or throw pillows will work)
- Do you honor your Self as the lovable, special gift that you are? If not, what beliefs are blocking you from knowing that you are the Essence of Pure Goodness?
These Venus issues merit reflection and this is a golden opportunity to commit to whatever needs attention in your life. Value yourself – you are so worth it!

The Fall Equinox is Sept 23rd – a moment of balance as you prepare for further awakening and evolution, as downloads of higher frequencies continue to pour in approaching 11-11-11 and 2012.
As I frequently remind you, you are the lightworkers who are here to help others awaken to their authentic being and true potential, so the more in alignment you are, the better you are able to support others.
This Equinox and the New Moon in Libra both activate the ongoing Cardinal Cross that requires you to take responsibility for ALL of your creations – internally and externally – and to claim your Self as the empowered being that you came here to be!
This means that you will really feel anything that’s out of alignment in your consciousness and in your life. If something is causing you discomfort, it’s your job to explore what is creating it and to discern what needs to change.
Areas to examine – attitudes toward the future, self-care, self-expression, relationship dynamics, attitudes toward authority and the way you show up in the world.
Yes, they’re all major – and we’re in Libra – time to create balance within yourself and in your life.

Mercury Retrograde!
We continue in Mercury Retrograde, which dictates the flow of information and affects communications and interactions in ways we won’t fully understand until Mercury goes Direct in late August.
Tread carefully and consciously to keep things smooth and be prepared to be as flexible as possible in order to avoid stress.
As Mercury retrogrades, it opposes Neptune, which has backed into Aquarius until Feb ’12. This adds to the confusion in communication and information for the next few weeks, so be prepared to go slowly and be really patient!
Again, get your FREE Mercury Retrograde Report for all the details, if you don’t already have it.
Mars, Pluto & Uranus T-Square
We’re entering the energy of upheaval, volatility and deconstruction this week as three of the power planets interact in a stressful setup. Pluto (power/transformation) opposes Mars (warrior/maverick) and they’re both squared by Uranus (the rebel/unexpected change). Yikes!
The potential for liberation and undoing is great and it’s being played out via our political and economic systems, as veils are are lifted and we see the reality of non-working structures that have been in operation for years. Although this is necessary for our evolution, it doesn’t mean the process is pretty or pleasant.
Staying in balance and maintaining self-care is extremely important during times of turbulence, so my suggestion that you create space for yourself is especially timely.
Avoid confrontations, challenges or any aggressive interactions. If you are confronted, do not engage in power struggles as it won’t serve you. Extricate yourself as quickly and gracefully as possible and process what happened later.
Above all, act from your highest self. If you are upset or if someone is upset with you and you truly don’t understand why, be curious when pondering what may have created the situation and accept that there may be a misunderstanding. This is an open state of being that allows for connection later, if it makes sense.
If you experience any “undoing” in your life, rather than trying to hold it together, check in to see if this is something you need to release for your highest good. Be open to possibilities and don’t be rigid – don’t block the gifts!
Know that these energies can also bring you unexpected opportunities, so be available for blessings to arrive in your life by holding the vision of what you want to create.
During tense energies, remember to stay in your heart and view everything through the lens of compassion. Hold the vibration of love and it will serve you well ♥.

Pluto opposite Sun
Pluto, planet of power, control and transformation opposes the Sun this week. This can manifest as power struggles or feeling like you’re being manipulated or pressured into doing something you really don’t want to do.
You’ll know it if this comes up for you because it triggers issues around power and powerlessness. You will either be on a mission to get your way (and will go to any lengths to get it!) or you may feel like someone’s leaning on you – or you’re in a standoff.
So here’s the question: who is playing the part of Pluto in your life? Is it you – or are you on the receiving end of someone else’s agenda? Think about it…
In order to be empowered (in YOUR power), you need to recognize that this setup has been created by you – and if it’s causing you pain, it’s showing you an old pattern that needs to be healed!
Next, think about who Pluto was in your childhood, as that relationship is the root of what’s being acted out now (whether it’s conscious or unconscious on your part).
I support you in releasing old, unconscious patterns that interfere with your peace, prosperity and happiness, so stay positive and understand that you are not here to be limited!
Go where it’s warm and loving – and use this opportunity to seek support so that you can finally move through old, outdated energies that no longer serve you.
You deserve to feel safe and joyful!
Solar Eclipse – July 1st
As we approach the third and final Solar Eclipse of this trio of Eclipses, we will be in the dark of the Moon this week.
Know that something new is coming, to be birthed during or after the next Solar Eclipse, and this is a good time to focus on cleaning up endings in order to create space for the new.
Humanity is in the midst of a sacred upheaval of old energies and outdated habits, patterns and beliefs that are no longer relevant for our lives today. There is much turmoil, as we approach 2012 – and we are in major “preparation” mode.
As I suggested earlier, be loving and be lovable (let people love you!).
It will only make your life better by refocusing the lens through which you experience the world – and it will raise your vibration and broadcast that beautiful energy out to all who come in contact with you.
I’m so grateful that we’re on this journey together and I promise to do my part – our connection is no accident!

How are you feeling, post-Eclipse? The Moon rules your feelings and needs – and touches your most primal emotions. This is the menu for this week!
The Lunar Eclipse was on the North Node of Destiny and the Galactic Core of the Milky Way, channeling major energies to support your further awakening.
Sagittarius rules beliefs. You may have had surprising or enlightening realizations as new information came to light (a Full Moon phenomenon).
Maybe something that you’ve always considered to be ‘”true” has turned out not to be exactly as you thought it was (or vice versa). Even a slight shift in perspective can make a BIG difference in your experience of life!
Have any of your beliefs shifted during this Lunar Eclipse – and, if so, how can this benefit you?
Judgment and wisdom are both Sagittarius-ruled, so think about what you’ve learned recently that can enhance your journey and support your being in the world.
If you find that “stuff” is coming up – especially stuff you thought you had already dealt with – know that it has come up to be seen, acknowledged and healed.
As always, flexibility and open-mindedness are required to accommodate and embody “the new.”
Soften, open and allow. ♥
Summer Solstice/Sun in Cancer
June 21st, ’11
The Summer Solstice occurs as the Sun enters the sensitive, emotional sign of Cancer on Tues, June 21st – the longest day of the year and the official beginning of summer.
This is yet another energetic shift to add to the mix – and Cancer is ruled by the ever-fluctuating Moon.
Lots of feelings and focus on home, family, food, nurturing, care, and issues regarding emotional safety and security are prominent. Feelings can color your thoughts and judgment, so take that into consideration when making decisions and get clear before acting.
If you are feeling more sensitive than usual, take extra good care of yourself by creating space, slowing down, and doing what you can to avoid stress.
You can help to manage your feelings by asking yourself, “What do I need right now?” and then creating healthy ways to fulfill your needs.
Connection, mothering (giving or receiving), and emotional warmth are all expressions of Cancer. Where do you feel emotionally connected – and to whom? Find those people (or puppies, or nature) when you need comfort and TLC and hook into the stream of love and goodness!
All is in Divine order. All is well. And you are important!

The Solar Eclipse of Wed, June 1st is still reverberating as you have been rocketed into the wormhole of this Eclipse Period. Stay tuned to see where you will ultimately land next month…
We also continue in the energy of Chiron (Wounded Healer/ Master Teacher), as it turns to go retrograde, providing you with the opportunity to release the trauma and dis-identify with your wounds in order to heal on a deep, deep level.Yes, it’s time to move on and release those old, non-working patterns. Your wounds (and the behaviors that arise from them) are NOT who you are! Please seek the support you need to heal that which you can’t let go of on your own.
Again, who would you be without your story – what “they” did to you or what went wrong? When you are able to separate from your false beliefs you will have achieved true liberation!
Saturn Direct – June 12th, ’11
Saturn turns to go Direct on Sunday, allowing projects that may have been stalled or revised to move forward with new upgraded structures.
Relationships (the mirror) call for greater understanding in order to create balance, connection and compromise.
Know that you call in your personal “messengers” via all the relationships you attract into your life, so receive the info being offered! Allow everything to be useful.
This is an invitation to tap into your evolved inner authority and recommit to yourself and path on a whole, new level
Lunar Eclispe – June 15th, ’11
The Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius on Wed, June 15th asks you to release old beliefs and broaden your horizons and perspective so that you can evolve to an even higher vibration.
A Lunar Eclipse is about endings or the culmination of things, and this one sits on the North Node of Destiny.
This indicates that what you release will allow you to rise to a higher level of consciousness and being by creating space for new ideas, beliefs and experiences to come in.
I heard an old-timer once say, “The older I get, the less I know.” He meant that with along with age, came wisdom (another Sagittarius theme) – and part of his path was not being so rigid in his beliefs. Sage advice…
Remember, a Lunar Eclipse is a Full Moon, which is emotionally loaded all by itself – and to have an Eclipse on top of it ups the ante exponentially! Please, please, easy does it next week in particular.
Stay conscious, give yourself extra time to accomplish your tasks, stay hydrated if you’re in the heat and get lots of rest and quiet time.
If you’re an “orchid,” you need special care so take particularly good care of yourself this week as the literal and emotional thermostat rises.
Changes will happen so be prepared to be proactive and flexible. You can feel empowered and clear – even if you’re in the hallway.
All is in Divine order. All is well. And you are important!
“When people ask us how long does it take for something to manifest, we say, as long as it takes you to release the resistance.” ~ Abraham
