Here’s a Holiday gift for you – just click on this link! Fabulous writer and editor, Barbara Edie, crafted this compilation by “The Glitter Girls” (our Mastermind group with coach Christine Kane) to offer you this eBook for the holidays.

Now you can see (and feel) who I’m traveling with on the path for my business development. I am blessed beyond words!

I’m sharing this beautiful gift with you, hoping that you are touched, inspired or uplifted in some way. Enjoy! ♥

Happy holidays and many blessings!

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.

7:44 pm PDT ~ 10:44 pm EDT

The Full Moon on Sunday, April 17th is called a SuperMoon – very close to the Earth, amplifying the Moon’s  emotional and psychological energy even more so than a regular Full Moon, so be sure to stay grounded, breathe, and move deliberately.

This Full Moon in Libra highlights relationships – the ultimate mirror. Whatever you see in the “other” is really a reflection of you, so use this information as feedback so you can make changes wherever necessary.

You don’t have to be stuck in victimhood, be critical or withhold love as a form of punishment. If you experience any of these, it’s time for a deeper look and a course correction so that you can step into your empowered Self.

You have the ability to shift your beliefs, behaviors and language that creates anything less than wonderful for you. If you are ready to transform, contact me or someone who can help you through this please!

The higher expression of the Aries Sun and Libra Moon is the rebalancing of the masculine and feminine energies within you – and yes, all men and women embody both energies. If you are identified with only one, there is an imbalance that is calling for correction in order for you to operate from wholeness.

The Sacred Masculine takes courageous action with integrity for the greater good and the Divine Feminine transmits compassion, peace, harmony and the energy of Oneness. We all can aspire to those ideals.

Consider this: there are five planets in fiery Aries (one of them is Mercury retrograde), and Pluto is still in a holding pattern,  creating intensity and activating unconscious energy that wants to be integrated.

Any upheaval you are experiencing is a Plutonian energy of unwinding of an old, non-working structure or pattern – or the birth of a deeply buried energy that is ready to be revealed.

Either way, it’s a sacred process that requires you to operate with consciousness and allow yourself deep care.

All the Aries energy really makes you want to DO something and it can be extra-uncomfortable to be patient, waiting for “the new birth” to arrive (whatever that may be).

If you feel the need to do something while you’re in the hallway, do spiritual practices -  meditate, journal, do yoga, walk, exercise, commune with nature, be creative, dance – whatever helps you connect to your spirit.

“Wherever you’re feeling discomfort – a transformation is waiting to happen!” ~ Lisa Zimmerman

Sun in Aquarius ~ Jan 20, ’11

The Sun is in the independent, innovative sign of Aquarius, where the call is to live from your Authentic Self, tap into your brilliance, and dare to do things in your own unique way.  This is not the time to be conservative or shy about being yourself!

Mars is aligned with the Sun, giving extra energy to your creations. In order to create successfully, you need to align your WILL with your INTENTION and take action. This is how you channel your energy to manifest your desires!

Jupiter in Aries ~ Sat, Jan 22, ’11

All planets are still  in Direct motion for a few more days, moving forward, which generates lots of get up and go!

To add to the party, idealistic Jupiter, planet of expansion, faith and higher truth leaves gentle, sensitive Pisces to move into fiery Aries on Sat, Jan 22nd until June 4th.

This unleashes a big-picture, “can-do” energetic with unbridled enthusiasm and a “leap before you look” mentality, so get ready to manage your impulse control!

Details are not the focus for Jupiter in Aries, so check the fine print before you leap into a new project, deal, relationship or transaction.

I’m just saying… if it looks SO fabulous, ground yourself and think it through before you say “yes,” so you’re not sorry later…

You will definitely feel a shift in the energy, as Jupiter is ready to go for it, with optimism and no brakes on! Runners, take your marks…

Saturn Retrograde ~ Wed, Jan 26, ’11

All planets in Direct motion ends on Wed, Jan 26th when Saturn (planet of authority, structure, work, manifesting) stations (appears to stand still) to turn Retrograde until June 13th.

On the Saturn Station, it can feel like NOTHING is happening! Don’t worry – it’s a great day to get organized, make plans and review what’s already in place.

Saturn rules taking methodical actions, planning, cautious and conscientious processing. This is the time to review, revise, and reorganize the structures in your personal life and in your business. You will know where you are out of alignment – it should be abundantly clear what’s not working!

This is the time to go back over your current endeavors and make those corrections. Upgrade and evolve from your current position – it’s the time to step back and take a new look.

So much has transpired energetically in 2011 already, you need the time and space to rewind and allow for integration, restructuring and to become reoriented with your new, evolving life that is unfolding within and without you.

These are new times, which call for a new, expanded mindset and innovative approaches to our New Earth.

I send you love and blessings, knowing that you are here to become who you are meant to be, so you can do your great work. We need you, so keep going!

“The entire Universe loves me, nurtures me, and wants me to win!” ~ Edwene Gaines

In Pisces, it’s the ideal time to meditate, be in nature, listen to beautiful music, be creative or go within to connect with Spirit. Stay tuned to see what will be revealed in your world!

The 72 hours prior to the Full Moon is when emotions run high and reactions can be overblown. Think of blowing up a balloon as a metaphor for the ascent of a Full Moon… the pressure continues to build until the Moon is full, then it “pops” and the energy is released.

Easy does it, go slowly and practice patience and compassion (for others and yourself!) so that you move in grace and flow. Along with the impending Full Moon, the current Mercury Retrograde also sets up the potential for snafus, so create more space between activities to increase mindfulness and to reduce the incidence of overwhelm and stress.

Get your Mercury Retrograde report (click here) so you know what to do – and what NOT to do during this time. The Mercury Rx slowdown may be just the blessing you need to wind down a little, so use this time to review/revise what’s not working, to clear and to recoup your energy.

For those still in “the hallway,” Mercury Retrograde is a wonderful time to review where you’ve been, what has worked, what is complete and what you have accomplished – even it it’s discovering what you don’t want!

We are still reverberating from the intensity of the final Pluto/Saturn square on Aug 21st as it slowly separates, allowing for a reprieve from the relentless pressure we’ve experienced over the past month. This is part of the energetic that may have had you feeling as if your back was to the wall, ultimately dismantling weak structures in your life that needed clearing in order for you to evolve.

Jupiter (expansion) and Saturn (structure/contraction) are still in opposition which can feel like you’re being pushed and pulled in two directions at once! Remember, if you’re in one experience or the other, you’re in duality. To operate in the highest expression of the opposition, find the middle ground that allows you to grow in methodical and structured ways. No leaping before you look — and don’t get stuck in tradition (“the way we’ve always done it”).  Feel into when it’s time to move forward and when it’s time to step back to create space.

Pisces rules the collective unconscious, and according to sound healer and channel, Tom Kenyon, humanity is at a choice point regarding what it will experience as a collective reality.

The reality that will prevail is being anchored through the choices we are now making, both as individuals and as a collective.

Choose consciously with love, compassion and care – for yourself and for all beings who share our planet!

“It’s hard to be in transition. It feels like standing naked at a cocktail party. The culture may demand definition, but your soul craves expansion. Do not rush your courageous adventure. You are as undefined as you are unlimited.” ~ Tama J. Kieves

Since we’re already in the slowdown, allow extra time for tasks, practice patience when dealing with others and with equipment/systems.

If you encounter a snag take a breath and go within. I suggest you make that an official Mercury Retrograde practice!

Be sure you have your Mercury Retrograde report (click here) so you know what to do – and what NOT to do during this time.

Jupiter (expansion) opposes cautious Saturn (security/structure) today, which can manifest in a variety of ways. You may feel pulled in two directions internally – one part of you wanting to expand and the other part in contraction, focused on staying safe. If you have anxiety about your current status, Jupiter can magnify your fear, so it’s important to be in your power by staying conscious. Remember, worry is rehearsing what can go wrong!

You may experience one polarity or the other – Jupiter wanting to expand and meeting Saturn (the authority that says “No!” or commitments/obligations that block your way), or you may be Saturn wanting to follow the rules, meeting Jupiter who wants you to jump into some grand scheme with no structure. Whomever you attract into your orbit, they are mirroring a part of you that you need to recognize, so pay attention!

The most empowering expression of the Jupiter-Saturn opposition is to expand in methodical ways, so take growthful actions that are well planned.

Pluto (transformation) is squaring Saturn and Jupiter, so wherever you are out of alignment, structures may crumble and shadowy behavior may escalate to highlight what’s not working. Or you may just feel like you’re in a pressure cooker with nowhere to go. If this is the case, the prescription is impeccable self-care and to let go of whatever you can. Feel into when it’s time to step up and when it’s time to step back and create space.

Here’s some relief amidst the intensity - Uranus has retrograded from Aries (the warrior) back into sensitive, imaginative Pisces so that energy will feel a little softer and it is now out of range of opposing Saturn. I know, there’s so many things to keep track of it can be mind-boggling!

That’s why the Mercury Rx slowdown may be just the blessing you need to wind down a little, so use this time to review what’s not working, and to recoup your energy.

If the intensity has been at level 10 for you recently, it may go up a notch to 11.

The Eclipses are here and they can generate dramatic events and changes that you never saw coming, but you don’t have to let them rock your world. Stand in your power, be courageous and rock your own world!

We’re in the midst of a Grand Cardinal Cross, which requires that you operate from your highest vision when you’re confronted with challenges or stressful situations and keep the focus on what you want to create. Using that as a focal point can be a steadying influence during times of uncertainty.

The Lunar Eclipse on Sat, June 26th at 7:30am ET is part of the Grand Cross and is in the sign of Capricorn, which rules your authority, your professional life, commitments, responsibility and structures.

Lunar Eclipses are about endings and I encourage you to be proactive and work WITH the energy rather than letting the energy work on you while you remain passive. Release your attachment to non-working patterns, clear, delegate and move on wherever called for. If it feels too scary to make a move, reach out and ask for help – there’s so much available.

It’s time to get real, be disciplined and take responsibility for what’s not working in your life. That old story you tell about why you are like this, can’t do that, what “they” did  to you, has got to go. Your attachment to that story has you imprisoned and it’s time for a hostage release! Step into your authority and trust your Self.

The Solar Eclipse on Sun, July 11th at 3:40pm ET is a New Moon in Cancer that rules home, family, security and your emotional needs. Your emotional needs are primal and non-negotiable. If your needs are not being met you are probably not a happy camper! The Solar Eclipse is about new beginnings, so this is the time to examine your emotional needs, domestic and personal life and make any needed corrections.

Cancer brings up quality of life issues and whatever is out of alignment will be up for review and restructuring. Pluto on the Moon opposing the Sun can bring ego issues and power struggles.

Uranus/Jupiter in Aries opposing Saturn can bring up repressed energies and some people will act out like you can’t believe! You’ll wonder, “What was that?!!” Still others will come from their Higher Selves and will surprise you by taking the high road when you least expect it. Remember, you always have a choice in how you respond to any experience.

It’s so easy to be triggered around issues of security, especially when the unexpected occur. If you knew that you had the power to create at will, wouldn’t that give you a sense of security? Instead of projecting outward and trying to control your environment or fearing what may happen, focus on your creations! Please know that chaos or disruption isn’t mandatory during an Eclipse, but if you have that experience, practice impeccable self-care.

You may take a sideways step into a new reality where you feel different and all your familiar reference points have been shifted. You may not recognize yourself or where you are, but don’t be frightened and go into reaction – you’ve just arrived in a new country where you don’t speak the language yet (cool…)! Allow yourself the space to integrate any new energies that arrive in or around you.

Faith that all is in Divine order and the intention to do whatever it takes to be who you came here to be will carry you during times of change. You are a Lightworker who came to help evolve humanity at this time and regardless of what your shadow may tell you at times, you are the essence of pure goodness.

Recommit to your path and your Higher Self’s journey – the company is excellent!

I wish you all so much love and tenderness during this sacred time of evolution personally and collectively.

“When you take a quantum leap you ride the situation, but you don’t really control it all that much.” ~ Price Pritchett

And the beat goes on… but the rhythm is changing.

The Summer Solstice is June 21st, when the Sun moves into the sensitive, emotional  sign of Cancer which will be part of a Grand Cross. The Sun squares the high-octane duo of Jupiter/Uranus, it also squares the great teacher, Saturn, and opposes powerful Pluto.

Cancer brings up issues of security, your emotional needs and quality of life issues, and with this Grand Cross whatever is out of alignment will be up for review and restructuring.

Do you have a vision for the life that you want to create or do you accept the life you’re living because you believe in your current limitations? I can’t tell you how major this question is because you will get what you believe is possible!

It is imperative that you have a vision of what you want to create and that may be changing, too, so when did you last update your vision?  Just asking you to check in with yourself – yesterday’s vision may no longer apply!

This is a time of exponential growth in which you’re being asked to BE and DO things in radically different ways than you ever have before, which will manifest new outcomes. Methods of operation and strengths that you’ve relied on in the past may even become obstacles for you now because they represent the old way, which can only create more of the same and the world is rapidly changing!

Recognize that you are a pioneer in a new frontier, in which innovation and courage are called for and will be met with grace. Long ago you agreed to participate in this grand creation and to contribute your gifts to the collective. This is it – the time to step into a higher expression of your Self, come out of hiding and be willing to be BIG!

During this time watch for over-reactions, impulsiveness, feelings of restlessness and frustration as well as issues around ego and power which can arise when old, unconscious patterns appear that need clearing or integration. Stay conscious and remember, if you are triggered you can choose NOT to react. Go within and discover which part of yourself needs attention and get help from a trusted adviser if you need it.

Discomfort or frustration is a message that something is out of balance and the antidote is to get that need met. When you find yourself triggered, stop and ask yourself, “What do I need right now?”  If you can discern what you need in that moment – and then can get that need met – that is the antidote for anger/distress. Also, the world is your mirror so if you have a painful experience, look for what aspect of yourself is being shown to you and know that course corrections can happen quickly and easily with the appropriate tools (what great news!).

On Saturday, June 26th at 7:30am ET we have a Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn, which is about endings and we are already in the energy. I will write more about it later this week, but know that emotions may run high and unexpected events can occur this week related to the Eclipse, so easy does it. Don’t push, don’t rush. If something wants to leave your life, let it go!

The Lunar Eclipse is the Universe helping you to release that which is complete, outdated or just not working for you! Trying to hold on to what needs to go creates tremendous anxiety and stress. Go with the flow, ride the waves, tune in to your inner voice and feelings for guidance. Your Higher Self (the loving guide within) is your true GPS that will never steer you wrong!

New Moon Intentions

New Moon Intentions are a concrete way of calling what you want into your life. Some of your desires will take time to manifest, others will come quickly. Your intentions are written statements of what you want to manifest for the coming Moon cycle.

You have the power to manifest your desires and you get what you focus on, so choose your thoughts wisely!

Creating Intentions

• Create your list within eight hours of the New Moon if possible

• Review your list and check off anything received

• Delete/replace items that are no longer relevant and file the old list

• Create your new list and place it on your altar or in a private place

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

How To Create New Moon Intentions

• List two to ten intentions, so you don’t dilute the energy

• Start each intention with the words “I create”

• 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 the order of”

• Write “Paid in Full” in both the amount sections

• 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
