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.

I always feel endings – and I allow myself to fully experience the melancholy I feel when letting go of “what is” in order to open to what’s next. I have such deep love and gratitude for the inspiration and safety I feel with these women who have supported and enabled my growth in 2011, along with coach extraordinaire, Christine Kane. It is profound what a container of love, encouragement and belonging can incubate, combined with good orderly direction.

Speaking of loss, I feel deep sadness at the passing of Steve Jobs for various reasons. For one, I wonder what creations he could have manifested in the future that died with him. Steve Jobs We have so few successful creators who model a high level of being and who will not bend to social pressure. I so appreciate his conviction, his courage, his genius – and his commitment to his vision that others didn’t always see.

Steve Jobs and I were born on the same day – at different times, so we have different astrological charts and very different lives, but we also have much in common. That’s another reason I feel sad about his passing; I feel a deep understanding of his life setup on a soul level.

I have had my share of loss in life and because healing is my business – and because I have Steve Jobs’ chart – I can’t help but wonder if he could have avoided or healed his pancreatic cancer by healing the issue(s) that created it. I think there’s a possibility that he didn’t have to die. I can’t help it – this is my belief. I don’t mean to sound arrogant like I know better, but it’s my intuitive feeling that he didn’t have to go now – or maybe it’s my little girl wish – that I didn’t want him to go.

For those of you who are still here, please be willing to heal the issues that create discomfort and pain in your life. You are so worth it and you can shift your life experience now. I know, I’ve done it – and I keep going in my process. Please make good use of all the wonder that surrounds you!

Speaking of healing, I’m taking students to the Avatar International Course in Orlando, FL from Oct 29th-Nov 6th. This is the profound consciousness training that dramatically changed my life – and anyone can do it. For more info click here and feel free to reach out to me for more information if you are interested in future courses. I would so love to be your guide!

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” ~ Steve Jobs

Namaste.

                 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. ♥ 

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!

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 ♥.

Current Events – April 29th

Although this week we enter the month of May and the New Moon in Taurus late Mon night, we still have a LOT of planets in Aries. This gives us an abundance of fiery, impulsive, red-hot energy flying around, ready to jump into action.

At the same time, it’s opposed by Saturn, the Great Teacher (or strict parent), who requires that you be accountable for the words, actions and structures you create. Thankfully, Saturn is grounding all that Aries fire, so I see the opposition as a good thing.

Think of it as a “reality check,” or being forced to think things through before you take a leap or suffer the consequences if you don’t! Know that when something appears to go/be “wrong,” it’s a message that something is out of alignment and a course correction is needed. Remember you can always “undo/redo” and then do the next right thing.

Moral of the story: The more conscious you are, the less drama there is!

New Moon in Taurus

May 2nd @ 11:51pm PDT

May 3rd @ 2:51am EDT

Late Monday night, early Tuesday morning we have a New Moon in the earthy, sensual, fertile sign of Taurus.

The New Moon is the time for new beginnings – the natural time to begin cycles, as you are supported by the energy that rules the tides of the oceans.

The New Moon is when you would normally take action, but on this New Moon, we go right into a long Moon Void of Course, so you need to wait to take action if you want a successful outcome to occur.

The Moon Void of Course is really affecting how we move these days for those who want to be in alignment with the rhythm of the Universe. I’m so “in it” – and the enforced time to go within and do spiritual, creative and routine activities has been supportive and productive, I must say.

Taurus is the sign that rules values – what you value and how you value yourself, so check in and see if you’re treating yourself as the valued, precious being that you are. Do you honor yourself – does the way you treat yourself indicate that? I hope so. Venus, ruler of Taurus, rules your consciousness around money, prosperity and abundance.

If you find yourself overspending, trying to fill a void by acquiring more, living with a belief in lack or fear regarding money, this is the time to take action to rectify whatever is out of balance in your life relating to money.

Are you a good receiver? Can you accept compliments joyfully without deflecting or complimenting the other person back? Do you ask for help? Are you uncomfortable if someone makes a fuss over you, so you stop them? If the answer is “yes” to any of these questions, then receiving is a spiritual practice for you. (See my Beauty of Receiving Course).

Watch yourself and notice if you push things away – materially or energetically – by your discomfort with receiving. If so, practice allowing gifts in, whether they’re compliments, gifts, assistance or small gestures. You can’t receive money or love if you can’t receive! Let people love you by receiving!

Taurus loves physical comfort, good food, it honors the body, sensuality and the earth, so you may want to indulge yourself with a massage, have a fabulous meal, lounge around in bed in the morning (on the good sheets!), take a luxurious bath, get fresh flowers, walk barefoot in the grass or on the beach, or just slow down and relax – this earthy sign is very patient and doesn’t like to rush for any reason.

Take conscious actions and to honor the Taurus New Moon, really practice receiving and feeling pleasure so you can live in balance (yin and yang) and to be in the flow. You are worth it!

“Love can only be accepted in the amount that one loves oneself. To love others more than we love ourselves, or give love that is greater than we have for ourselves is to bleed Light.” ~ The Bill of Lights

Uranus arrived in fiery Aries today, in conjunction with the earthquake/tsunami in Japan.  What an entrance!

This energy of change, innovation and the unexpected is sure to make a splash in all of our lives one way or another. As Uraunus leaves Pisces, it can bring up old emotional patterns that you were sure you’d already worked through – as if you are having some kind of regression.

No worries… old patterns may resurface for one more go-round, giving you an opportunity to recognize that you don’t react the way you used to – that you have evolved to a new way of responding that is  more honoring and empowering.

We’re almost a week away from the Spring Equinox, which is the astrological New Year and our mission is to get organized and take action before Mercury goes Retrograde at the end of the month.

This coming week, Mercury interacts with Pluto, Jupiter and Saturn, one by one, and all kinds of information will be revealed, ideas will be born, plans will be made and you will have to take responsibility for all that you encounter.

It can be expansive, productive and transforming – and you may find yourself involved in intense communications that demand explanation and accountability. So whatever you create or communicate, be conscious – and be prepared to take responsibility for your words and actions.

If you find yourself in a power struggle, don’t engage – rather, step back and give it some space. If the action speeds up and your “to do” list is more than you can handle, decide what you can release or delegate and then do it.

The guidance is to deal with “what is” in the most grounded, conscious, self-honoring way.

Here’s the scenario for the rest of this month:

March 11 – Uranus enters Aries until ’19 (blast off, watch the changes appear!)

March 13 - Mercury square Pluto (hidden truths/info revealed, confronted with new reality)

March 15 – Mercury conjunct Jupiter (big ideas, good news or grandiosity, over-doing it)

March 18 – Mercury opposition Saturn (accountability required)

March 19 - Full Moon in Pisces (the culmination of things)

March 20 – Spring Equinox, Sun in Aries (Astrological New Year, MAJOR new beginning)

March 28 - Jupiter opposition Saturn (expansion vs. security)

March 30 – Mercury Retrograde (until April 23rd)

Know that by the end of the week, we will be approaching the Full Moon in Virgo and the emotional energy will be increasing, so easy does it…

The Universe is conspiring for your highest good!

“Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.”  ~ Deepak Chopra

At 3am Eastern, we have a Lunar Eclipse at 29 degrees Gemini. which is an exponentially more powerful Full Moon, which is about endings and the culmination of things.

(To learn more about The Eclipse Period click here).

Mercury is traveling over the Galactic Center (the Black Hole, center of the Milky Way), which is a portal for higher frequencies and powerful forces of expansion. It connects exactly the weekend of Dec 18, right before the Lunar Eclipse.

Stay tuned for downloads, new insights, perceptions, or information to appear that will alter your path in perhaps momentous ways.

Over the next few weeks changes are in store for everyone – how major they are depends on where the eclipses fall in your chart and if they connect with your planets directly.

The more open you are to changes, the more it’s possible for you to receive. If you try to maintain the status quo, you’re asking for stress and perhaps missed opportunities that you don’t see. Trust that the Universe is conspiring for your highest good!

The energy will be building all weekend and as the Lunar Eclipse occurs we  enter yet another wormhole, traveling through uncharted territory, emerging from the other side on the Solar Eclipse of Jan 4th. Stay tuned…

For people who need to be in control, this may feel ominous, but don’t choose fear. Choose to operate from your Higher Self, with love and compassion for yourself and others.

We are preparing energetically and physically for 2012, and clearing is in service to moving into a higher vibration. Go within, find peace and trust that All is in Divine Order.

Namaste.
(The Divine in me honors the Divine in you).

“What if you just said ‘Yes!’ to all the changes?” ~ Sark

After moving through the wormhole over the summer (the Eclipses and Cardinal Cross) into your New Reality and finding your “sea legs,” then revising that which needed correction during Mercury Retrograde, it is now time for the next wave of activity – if I had to give it a name, I’d call it The Start of Something New.

On the Fall Equinox (Wed, Sept 22nd at 11:09pm ET), we begin the Fall season so focus your energy, set your intentions and decide what you will create. Then do some ritual to support the manifestation of your vision, in addition to taking practical actions. (FYI – writing your intentions is a ritual in case you need a suggestion.)

The Full Moon in Aries occurs right after the Equinox – on Thurs, Sept 23rd at 5:17am ET. The Full Moon is when things come to light and it’s also the culmination of things. The emotional energy has been amping up as always approaching a Full Moon, and tensions may run high, 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 willingness 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 the Equinox and Full Moon, so when people or aspects of life feel oppressive, slow down and check in with yourself.

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 you withdraw and go within to discern what part you play in this drama.

As Dr. Phil says, “You can’t fix what you don’t acknowledge.” 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), Uranus (change) and the Moon (home/needs) oppose the Sun on the Equinox and Full Moon, indicating a strong drive for freedom and authenticity wherever you feel trapped by life circumstances. Be brave and make those revolutionary changes – take the conscious leap!

As you begin this new season honor yourself and treasure your relationships. All is in Divine order.

Namaste.

“We do not create every circumstance we experience, but we do create our experience of every circumstance we are in.We all have a response-ability.” ~ Mary Manin Morrissey

This is a high-level assignment and each one of us is somewhere on this hero’s journey of self-discovery at a whole new level. Where are you?

If you feel disconnected or unsure of your direction, you have likely stepped into a new level of beingness and are not yet familiar with the culture or language of this new place. Go gently and nurture yourself well as you acclimate to this new world – and please be patient. Give yourself space. As Woody Allen said, “Time is nature’s way of keeping everything from happening all at once.”

The New Moon is the the time for new beginnings and since it occurs tonight in the U.S., we’ll be in the energy all day on Tuesday, August 10th. Take this opportunity to begin, launch or do something new, as the Universe will nurture the seeds you plant at this time.

Leo is the ultimate sign of creation and creative expression - and you want to act now because Mercury will be going Retrograde at the end of next week and you don’t want to begin anything new then if you haven’t already taken some action. (Get your free Mercury Retrograde report).

On this New Moon, Venus (relationships, money, values) is opposing Jupiter (expansion) and they are both squared by Pluto (transformation). This brings up issues of self-esteem, what you value and how you value yourself. With Venus opposite Jupiter, how much do you need to feel good? Venus is your desire nature, what makes life worth living and Jupiter is ‘more,” which can either manifest as generosity or the black hole of endless wanting. Your choice…

Pluto rules the unconscious (what’s hidden), so watch for shadowy issues that appear in you and others. With Pluto squaring Venus you may experience issues around power and love, power and money and major control/trust issues in relationships. These are deep issues that need healing in order for you to operate from your Higher Self. It’s about feeling safe in the world, trusting yourself, and transmitting that energy outward so that you can then magnetize that energy back to you.

The Venus/Mars connection gives you the opportunity to consciously rebalance your masculine and feminine energy. Sacred masculine energy functions with focus, integrity and drive, is confident, effective and inspired rather than dominant. Divine feminine energy is grounded safely in her power with clear intention and focus, heart chakra open as she magnetizes resources and knows how to receive, undefended.

Which part of you needs support or is overly active? Take this opportunity to become conscious of your masculine/feminine energetic balance and make any needed corrections, with support wherever necessary. With the relentless pressure being exerted upon us by the most powerful and dynamic planets, you have the opportunity to channel this energy into creating breakthroughs wherever you are stuck. Being proactive is the best way to empower yourself in this climate of radical change.

You are being called to step beyond the familiar into a new paradigm creatively designed by YOU! This is why it’s imperative that you decide how you want to live and determine what you came here to contribute to humanity. The New Moon is the perfect time to take actions toward your Divine purpose and who you came here to be!

We are re-creating the world and we need you to hold the highest, most authentic vision of yourself. The beliefs you hold and the choices you make determine the experience you will have. When you make a decision, check in to see what your motivation is – expansion, alignment, higher truth – or fear, protection, security?

With Saturn and Jupiter in opposition, economic issues will likely be front and center, but you don’t have to buy into the “bad economy” paradigm and allow that to create your reality. By the way, there are plenty of people making lots of money right now in this “bad” economy, so don’t be fooled by the limiting beliefs proposed by conventional wisdom. Think outside the box and take your power back!

Creativity grounded in sound structure trumps conventional wisdom (which is always fear-based).

Friday, Aug 13th – March ’11 – Uranus retrogrades from Aries (the warrior) back into Pisces (Divine Love /imagination) for one last go-round. This is a fabulous opportunity to manifest brilliant ideas and to download intuitive visions by going within or via your dreams.

Venus will be going Retrograde in Oct for six weeks, so you’ll have plenty of time to review your issues around relationships, money, values and how you value yourself!

Here I am with Carole Hyder, a gifted Feng Shui expert, in Tucson at our Platinum Intensive. We are cooking up something fabulous for you, combing our talents and knowledge, that addresses the current  energetic climate with innovative solutions.  An announcement will be forthcoming very soon!
