Happy holidays and many blessings!

I’ve just returned from my Platinum Mastermind group in Asheville, NC.

It was a poignant conclusion to a transformative year, not only for me, but for all of my sisters in spirit!

I look back at where I was one year ago and marvel at my growth, both internally and externally.

As you know, your external life is just an outpicturing of what’s happening within you.

And how did this growth happen? By allowing others “in” to offer me new ways of operating and by taking baby steps – one new step at a time.

If you aren’t happy with where you are – or if you feel like your life is out of alignment with your authentic self, then I urge you to take some kind of action to course correct now.

I have been working at healing for a very long time – and believe me, I had a lot to heal! And I continue to evolve by pursuing my next steps all the time, personally and professionally.

Which leads me to an important question when it comes to personal growth and transformation – are you teachable?

• Are you open to considering/trying new ways of doing things?

• Do you do everything yourself – without outside help? (If so, why?)

• Do you often feel misunderstood or different, feeling like nobody “gets” you?

• Do you trust yourself to recognize the right and perfect teachers/methodologies/modalities for you?

These are just a few inquiries that you can make to see if you’re truly open to allowing help, new information and guidance in.

You cannot stay in your comfort zone and transform your life. All growth requires some emotional risk – and as I frequently remind you, you are SO worth it!

There is still time to register if you’d like to go with me as my student to the Avatar International Course in Orlando, FL from Oct 29th-Nov 6th.

This is the profound consciousness training that dramatically changed my life a few years ago (and continues to!) – 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!

“You have been programmed to “behave” rather than to be who you are. Layers of “undoing” are required to reveal the diamond inside that is YOU!” ~ Lisa Zimmerman 

Namaste.

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!

“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.

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. ♥

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!

“Which game do you want to play? ‘Who’s right,’ or ‘Let’s make life more wonderful?’” ~ Marshall Rosenberg

As we approach Valentine’s Day,  it’s a fabulous opportunity to focus on love – not just romantic love, but all matters of the heart.

I don’t know how you plan to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but I have an idea. Before you shower your love on others, be your own Valentine!

What does this mean? Focus on the relationship you have with your Self and take inventory of your habits for self-care and attention.

Get in alignment with yourself and fill your well – then share your light with others from that place of fullness.

Connect with Spirit, nature, music, art, children or animals to experience the wonder of unconditional love, innocence, and pure bliss.

Soften and open your heart. Be loving, be lovable, be the love you wish to see in the world.

Give people the benefit of the doubt and remember that everyone’s doing the best they can – even when it’s not so good. Generosity of spirit is an great act of love!

Seek out happy, open-hearted people to model lovingkindness for you – and bask in the energy of their Light. It is contagious! You can raise your vibration by choosing your company thoughtfully.

May you celebrate the beauty of your heart and its capacity for love, compassion and connection to others on this Valentine’s Day.

Be grateful for all those you love. I will be blessing the many extraordinary people I love who make my life rich and my heart overflow with joy!

“True love is not what you get, it’s what you give.” ~ Michael Lutin

We’re moving into new territory and it’s important that you operate based on what FEELS right for you – not by trying to figure things out in your head. As I’ve said before, it’s like being in a new country where you don’t quite speak the language yet.

Trust your intuition and go within to connect when you need to get clear.

We have a Full Moon in Cancer on Wed, Jan 19th and the emotional energy will be escalating beginning on Monday, so be mindful of staying in your center and please don’t engage in drama or power struggles! Easy does it early in the week.

The Full Moon in Cancer brings up issues of emotional security and professional achievement. Here are some pertinent questions:

* Are your personal/emotional needs being met?

* Are you standing in your authority?

* Do you feel safe in the world?

* Is your need for professional achievement being met in ways that feel right for you?

* Does your home life feel nurturing for you?

If anything feels out of alignment for you, then a course correction is called for. Be willing to take action to remedy any energetic drains in your personal and professional life – and if you don’t know what they are, then get help to find out. This action alone can change your life dramatically!

The goal is to learn to work smarter so that you create what you want and need while feeling comfortable and whole.

The day after the Full Moon, the Sun enters Aquarius, sign of innovation, revolution, genius and “the new.” Get ready to break some old rules and find new ways of doing things. We’ll be entering a totally different energy a week from now, so use this week to plan and get yourself focused.

“Let others vibrate as they vibrate and want the best for them. Never mind how they’re flowing to you. You concentrate on how you’re flowing.” ~ Abraham

Neptune (dreams, intuition, Spirit) and Chiron (the wounded healer) are moving forward together, allowing for the expression of your evolved, integrated energies to be offered via your service, which we so need!

Your gifts are not just for your benefit – they were given to you to be used for the greater good, so don’t withhold, don’t be shy – please share them with the world!

If you are “in process,” preparing to offer your gifts or creating new ways of offering them, then you’re been challenged to evolve your Being, beliefs and behaviors. This is high-level work!

As you offer your work to the world, there are opportunities for you not only to contribute, but to model the expansiveness of dreams come true! (Yes, yes!)

The week kicks off with the Sun in harmony with Jupiter (good fortune, beliefs) and Uranus (change, innovation), which creates extraordinary opportunities for sudden changes and manifestation! Kind of like playing Lotto… and winning!

Remember that Venus and Jupiter are STILL RETROGRADE, so get a second opinion if you’re tempted to make a big investment no matter how correct you think your judgment is!

Or better yet, wait until Friday, Nov 19th to take action. I suggest you wait so that you’ll have the proper perspective when making major decisions. And yes, then you can make the high-dollar purchases or long-term commitments!

Enjoy this expansive, idealistic energy of love and abundance. This is the place from which you can create magical outcomes and instant manifestation if your beliefs and actions are in alignment with your vision.

You WILL get what you ask for (consciously and unconsciously), so stay awake!

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

I am currently enrolled in business coaching programs and the learning curve has been steep for me. While doing my best to keep up, I have sometimes descended into worry, stress, confusion or self-judgment, which took me out of my power.

This mentor gave me a directive in no uncertain terms – she said that when I find myself in self-doubt, self-judgment, worry or negativity to say:

“Stop! I’m letting go. I’m letting go of everything and everyone

that does not serve my highest good. I am empowered.”

Venus is Retrograde in Scorpio, sign of transformation, which always begins with letting go so it’s the perfect time to tap into this energy!

It’s so powerful to catch yourself in the moment and decide to turn off negative energy – it’s an “undo/redo” script. Try it, it works!

The ultimate in empowerment is to discern whether any person, place or thing is serving your highest good by feeling into your energy when you’re in their presence.

Your highest good will leave you overflowing with a sense of fullness and peace, not feeling bad about yourself.

If you are contracted, something is wrong and I urge you to check-in: are you in your head or your heart?

If you’re in distress, your head is usually the source of trouble (ego), telling you something that’s causing you pain. When you’re in your heart (Spirit), you will be guided on a different path altogether.

During Venus Retrograde, as you go back over what you value and how you value yourself, please, please give yourself some extra TLC.

Commit to letting go of everyone and everything that doesn’t serve your highest good.

That is the ultimate act of self-love.

Feel free to share what you need to let go of, if you dare!

With love and blessings,

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.
