Between Eclipses – Week of Dec 5, ’11

We are between two Eclipses with Mercury in Retrograde. How are you experiencing this energy?

I’ve been hearing lots of Mercury Retrograde “Plus” stories. I call them “Plus” due to the Eclipses, which adds a  dramatic element to the mix.

If the unexpected triggers you, let me remind you that you have a choice in the experience you ultimately have.

If you’re in reaction, you probably feel out of control in some way. It’s often not even the info or event that really triggers you – it’s the fact that whatever’s happening was not your decision. Somewhere inside there’s a “No!” in response to the experience.

To bring yourself back to center, stop, take a breath and go within.

I offer you this new mantra: “I allow for my Highest Good by opening to new possibilities.”

We are in a time of major changes, shifts and revisions. Whatever is out of alignment will make itself known as a whisper and then escalate to a roar until it gets your attention!

As we approach 2012, we’re getting a major push to deliver our being to a higher level of consciousness, so expect everything that’s out of order to come up to be seen and healed.

Do not give up on yourself and your dreams! Get the support you need to move forward because you didn’t come this far to stop in mid-process. You are a Lightworker here to usher in Love and Light and purifying your own energy is part of your job.

This is the perfect time to schedule your astrology reading for 2012. If you’re ready to gain clarity about your journey, you will so benefit from this deeper look into your upcoming path with intuitive guidance.

I wish you love and many blessings – and easy does it this week!

The goal of spiritual living is not to amass a wealth of information, but to experience the sacredness in each moment with presence and open-heartedness. ♥

Current Astro Events – Dec 2, ’11

We’re in a Venus (love, desire)/Pluto (power, transformation) conjunction, which can mean a variety of things, but the lower expressions usually express as drama.

You may find yourself in a triangular relationship (three people), whether it’s love, family or business – but there are huge issues around possessiveness and control in the mix.

Here’s a healing for triangles: never speak about one who isn’t present. Deal only with the one you are speaking to and take responsibility for your words and actions with that person. You will never feel good about yourself after saying negative things about another. Really.

Venus-Pluto may find you clinging (with claw marks!) to an old attachment that you fear losing. The attachment is the issue and if you’re not able to let go yet, set your intention to be willing to let go. Be gentle with yourself, because some part of you believes that you need this attachment to be okay.

Venus-Pluto aspects create darkness in the lower expressions but offer you the potential to totally transform that stuck energy by moving from selfish desires (ego) into your Higher Self. From this place you can let go and reconnect with a peaceful, open heart.

I urge you to operate from your Higher Self if you find this within your space. Be loving, be compassionate and remember that everyone is doing the best they can (including you!).

We’re also in a Sun (ego) – Mars (aggression) square so you may really, really want it your way! Between Venus-Pluto, Sun square Mars, The Eclipses and Mercury Retrograde slowing things down, this is potentially tense and combustible energy! Move slowly and consciously – and take really good care of yourself this week. Seek inspiration and comfort. Connect heart to heart – that is the true antidote for drama. ♥

Eclipse Energy

We end the week approaching a Lunar Eclipse in Gemini on Sat, Dec 10th, which is about endings and the culmination of things. Just a few reminders…

• Emotions run high around eclipses – expect the unexpected as well as fated events, and be willing to be flexible.
• Eclipses can either clear huge obstacles or manifest potential challenges and things usually happen quickly.
• If you’re confronted with an unexpected situation or event, take a moment to assess where you are and let the dust settle, if possible.
• There’s a saying, “Don’t just do something, sit there!” Use that guidance when anxiety triggers you to act prematurely or reactively, which doesn’t serve your highest good.
• Please don’t judge events that happen around an Eclipse as “good” or “bad” because you don’t know what the big picture is and remember that more will be revealed. 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!

Mercury Retrograde Nov 24 – Dec 13, ’11

Mercury is Retrograde from Nov 24th until Dec 13, ’11. If you don’t have it yet, get your free Mercury Retrograde Report here.

This may affect holiday travel, so be sure to leave plenty of extra time and space to get where you’re going this Thanksgiving.

Mercury Retrograde during Black Friday and Cyber Monday means that purchasing mistakes and missteps will probably be greater than usual and making large purchases during this time is ill advised. If you have to get that new iPad or other major purchase (especially electronic), wait until Dec 16th if possible. You will thank yourself for being patient and save your receipts for whatever you buy!

I recommend communicating via email so you can double check directions, agreements and plans in writing. Miscommunications are rampant during Mercury Retrograde and email is so handy for verification – whether you have an unexpected brain freeze or a dispute about who said what when.

11-11-11 Astrology

It’s been a huge week astrologically!  First, Neptune went Direct on Wed, activating the energy of Oneness for humanity and supporting you in taking steps toward manifesting your dreams.

Yesterday we had a Full Moon on the Taurus/Scorpio axis, which rules money, values, and transformation. It’s time for you to decide what really matters to you and where you want to spend your time, energy and money.

These are big decisions, so be thoughtful in examining your life and your choices – you want your choices to be conscious!

Chiron (the wounded Healer) turned Direct on Thursay as well, and all the above mentioned energy, combined with the 11-11-11 portal, brings to a head the ultimate choice you have to make: do you operate in Unity consciousness or do you believe in separation?

Whatever you choose will dictate the quality of your life! You will get whatever you believe in, whether it’s Unity and a feeling of connection or separation and lack.

The energy is red hot now, time to move forward with projects before Mercury goes Retrograde on Nov 24th.

Mars (action and will) is connecting with Pluto (power) providing you with the ability to generate tremendous momentum that will serve you well.

Take good care of yourself during this time of high energy,  transformation, and evolution. Time is escalating and we are moving along quickly. Your efforts will be rewarded if you focus on taking steps toward what is authentic and real for you.

By the way, this is a good time to consider scheduling your astrological reading with me so that you know what’s in store for you in 2012.

Take good care of yourself and for a beautiful experience, choose to see the world through compassionate eyes.

Go Where It’s Warm…

Welcome to the energy of Scorpio, ruler of issues that involve upheaval, power, transformation, and all things hidden – which can be unsettling, as you feel out of control when it’s happening to you.

If you are having an uncomfortable experience, I suggest that you give yourself as much space as possible for self-care. What do you do to take care of yourself when you’re feeling off-balance, upset, fearful, or down?

When you need care and attention I invite you to “go where it’s warm.” In those moments you need a soft place to fall, and I hope that you have people in your life who are there for you, willing to listen with compassion, especially when you  need support.

This guidance may seem like a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised to know how many people make the wrong choices when they need comfort and care by reaching out to those who can’t or don’t give them what they need.

The effects of not getting your needs met when seeking comfort can create an additional hurt on top of the initial one. It can also validate an old belief that nobody is there for you, leaving you feeling alone and unsupported – and very sad

When you continue to go to people who can’t or don’t give you want you need it’s like going to the hardware store for oranges. Don’t do it! If the dynamic isn’t working for you, don’t go there!

Please understand that current people/circumstances in your life can only trigger wounds that are already there – current situations do not create the wounds. They just reinforce them.

Also, be mindful that just because someone cares about you it doesn’t mean that they can help you, so ask for compassionate listening, not necessarily advice. When receiving advice, always consider the source.

You discern what is right for you in any given moment. If you make a choice that doesn’t work for you, don’t “bad dog” yourself – make another choice!

Keep going, because you are important and worth every ounce of effort it takes to be in alignment for your Highest Good. Now, more than ever, what we (and the world) need is more love and compassion.

“When a person’s thoughts are connected to Divine wisdom, even the simplest of actions become holy.” ~ The Baal Shem Tov  

Namaste.

Current Astro Events – Oct 28, ’11

So we continue on in Scorpio – the energy of transformation and purification, and the energy is especially intense this year as we approach 2012. Uranus (the revolutionary) in Aries (the warrior) squaring Pluto (power) continues to instigate and activate smoldering issues, fanning the flames to a fever pitch.

Change is in the air and the old structures are coming down. World events are evidence of this, as in Occupy Wall St., as well as the political and ongoing middle eastern conflicts.

Where are you feeling the uprising in your life? What has got to change in order for you to be well, to be vibrant and flourish? I recommend that you be proactive in making necessary changes whenever possible, rather than being reactive after something happens.

Did you do your New Moon Intentions on Wed? I hope so… Please say them out loud every day, feeling into the energy of what you are committed to creating for yourself and your evolution.

Here’s another idea: make a “Cosmic To-Do List” that will facilitate the changes you KNOW you need to make. And then take action – whether it means building in more play time, taking a class to support your professional expansion, reconnecting with a loved one, hiring a VA, or joining an online dating site.

Any necessary action you take will build your self-esteem, too. You get self-esteem by doing esteemable things!

Don’t delay your evolution – things are happening too fast these days for you to let your fears keep you imprisoned. I see so much “instant karma,” now meaning, we get back what we put out very quickly now.

If you are unsure, confused, paralyzed or bewildered, reach out for help and let others help you! Do you know that fear can dissipate instantly with the right support? You don’t have to stay stuck! There’s no glory in being a solo act – and it’s so much more fun to have a guide when you’re moving through new.

By the way, this is a good time to consider scheduling your astrological reading with me so that you know what’s in store for you in 2012.

Let me support you! You don’t have to walk through the dark alone!

New Moon in Scorpio – Oct 26, ’11

New Moon in Scorpio – Oct 26, ’11 

12:56 pm PT ~ 3:56 pm ET

The New Moon is the time for new beginnings, so start something – whether you pursue a dream, goal, idea, plan or project.

Set your intention and then put attention on what you want to grow or create and ride the wave as you allow the Lunar energy to support you. Utilize the energy of regeneration to create a breakthrough!

The New Moon is in the deep, passionate sign of Scorpio which rules issues around power, control and transformation – what to release and what to keep in your life.

Scorpio rules metamorphosis by deconstructing what’s no longer viable and then the rebirth creates a “cosmic upgrade.” The ultimate result is transcendence over old, stale non-working patterns, structures and relationships.

Emotions are intensified and your desires are strong, so check your motives before you act: are you in integrity seeking to contribute to the greater good – or are you operating from ego-driven, fear-based or selfish desires?

Watch for obsessive thinking, which can blind you to the big picture. Examine your current choices and make decisions with consciousness from your Higher Self. This is real empowerment.

What can you release in order to create emotional balance so you step into your power?

Projection is a Scorpio domain, ruled by the unconscious. Know that behaviors that bother you in others are for you to explore within yourself.

Please don’t miss the opportunity to evolve, awaken and integrate unconscious beliefs that block your heart, often created by living in judgment of others, no matter how it’s disguised (caring, analysis, etc.).

Remember, those who are in their power have no need to dominate or control – they feel safe and secure knowing that they are operating in integrity, aligned with the greater good.

It takes courage to let go of the familiar and step into the void until the next step or way of being is revealed – and this is part of the process of transformation.

Trust in the cycles of life, knowing that whatever comes up that is uncomfortable or dark has come up to be recognized and healed, released or integrated.

Check in with yourself and examine the ways in which you give up your power and then commit to releasing behaviors and old ways of being that don’t serve you.  It is time!

As you make your New Moon Intentions, remember that Scorpio also rules hidden talents and you never know what wonderful gifts may appear!

“Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, you must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life.” ~ Rev. Mary Manin Morrissey

New Moon Intentions

Creating New Moon Intentions

New Moon Intentions are a concrete way of stating what you want in your life. Because Spirit is within you and flows through you, this is the place from which you create.

Creativity is a “Divine download” and is your unique expression of channeling Spirit. You have the power to manifest your desires and call in what you focus on, so choose your thoughts wisely!

Some intentions take time to manifest and others will show up quickly. Enjoy the process!

Creating Intentions

• Create your list on the day of the New Moon if possible

• Review your previous list and delete anything received

• Eliminate items that are no longer relevant

• Place your list on your altar or in a private place

• Review your list each morning or evening to keep your intentions conscious

How To Create Intentions

• List no more than ten intentions, so you don’t dilute the energy

• Start each intention with the words “I” or “I create”

• Make intentions present tense (not “I will” as in the future)

• Only write what you intend to create (you can’t create for someone else)

New Moon Abundance Check

• On the day of the New Moon write a check to yourself

• Write your name in the section labeled “Pay to order of”

• Write “Paid in Full” in the $$ section

• Write “What I allow myself to receive” in the word amount section

• Sign the check with the words “Spiritual Law”

Place the check on your altar or put it in a special place and prepare to receive!

“Intentions: I am responsible for what I see. I choose the feelings I experience. I set the goals that I achieve. And everything that seems to happen to me I ask for and receive as I have asked.”  ~ Malikka Chopra 

Current Astro Events – Oct 14, ’11

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!
