​Extreme Caution 

There I said it!  To best assist you, here is my intuitive information to help you navigate the energy.  Five planets are retrograde - Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto – for the first time in ten years. Five retrograde planets is a rare event which brings a lot of information along with it. It may feel like life has slowed down and you are living in a different dimension with uncertainty (or maybe that’s just me). This energy brings time of “RE” re-build, re-do, re-think, re-create – it is time to RE-VIEW your life in all areas such as work, relationships, your inner self, and finances. Not to bring a negative, but with this energy we may witness actions of accidents and violence in your surroundings and throughout the world. With this information you can make sure your personal world is aligned. If I ever had to express “caution” with all you do, I express it now until after May 22 when two planets will go direct, and then offer an ease. I have broken down each planet and what areas they effect. 
  
MERCURY APRIL 28-MAY 22
It may feel like it is more but each year Mercury only goes retrograde three times and lasts for approx. three weeks. This is the second cycle.  This is time to look at your life and what direction you want to take it. This cycle is time to heal old wounds and to heal our life of what still lingers. Old friends may reenter you life to settle any karma and allow you each to move on. Time to rest, recoup, and be under the radar to process what is at hand in your life.  During this time do not start anything new, ponder on it, and gather information

 * Mercury defines your thinking process and metal facilities, intellect and intelligence, communication, ability to gather focus and perception, speaking and writing, contracts and agreements, siblings, travel, your work and working environment.
 
MARS – APRIL 18-JUNE 29
Time to slow down. You may feel like you’re in quick sand but its for the best. If you press in and rush you can disrupt your life with a simple accident that makes you slow down.  Look at what is making you distracted and re-align your priorities. This time is to align with those around you so your connections can deepen.
 
*Mars defines your physical energy and actions, sense of adventure, aggressive and assertive behavior, confidence, passion and zeal, anger, violence, impatience and hastiness. It shows your desire nature, sexual urges, and physical energy.
  
JUPITER – JANUARY 7 – MAY 9
Expansion and growth slows when Jupiter goes retrograde. External energies make you look at your “self” to see where you are putting your energies.  When Jupiter goes retrograde certain things that you may have been clinging onto will be removed and you need to continue your journey without them. This can be jobs, people, animals etc. All is for your higher good.
 
*Jupiter defines your understanding of broader concepts, growth, advancement, prosperity, joy, faith, and generosity.  It shows increase and expansion on a personal or material level, and your capacity to see the big picture.
 
SATURN –MARCH 25 – AUGUEST 13
Saturn retrograde brings unwanted delays, and hindrances. All you do takes more effort and hard work on your part. Life feels as if it is simply delayed.  Re-evaluate your plans and build up physical and mental strength for it. Saturn retrograde helps you come up with new plans that would be productive once it goes direct.  
 
*Saturn defines your ambition and goals, career, fears and concerns, obstacles to over come, and limitations. It shows responsibilities, obligations and recognition earned.
 
PLUTO – APRIL 18 – SEPTEMBER 26 
When Pluto goes retrograde your search takes you deep into your inner self, for truth and peace. Your compassionate nature emerges and you seek knowledge, in the Tarot cards. This would be the Hierophant searching for what cleanses your soul. You may feel empty with in but stay true to your self.
 
*Pluto defines regenerative process, shedding and renewal, death and rebirth of anything, sexual tendencies, aggressiveness, extreme behavior, power and control issues and explosive and unstable actions. It is your sense of power and influence. It shows resilience, renewal, and resurrection.
 
 Note: remember to ponder on all your words and actions before executing them for best results.

What an extraordinary card to have before our Christmas holiday.

Faith continually challenges our beliefs and strength. It is the rock in which we stand, that moves us forward on our journey. 

Are you being tested in this area or with your New Moon leap, and if so, this card is telling us that we need to believe, to stand on the faith of what actions we are taking are the right actions even if doesn't feel that way. Divine and faith go hand in hand. You don't see either, but you have to trust that it is there. The trust is what makes your desires happen.

Having a week of silence at the Abbey of Gethsemani with the Monks who walk on faith, helped me get my footing on my rock.  I find Gods sense of humor interesting in revealing this card. Taking advantage of the last new moon of the year, by looking in the mirror of my truth, it was just what I needed to remind me of my unwavering faith, to believe, trust, and allow that divine is at work in my life, that the changes I am making are moving me forward that my spiritual expansion is happening. What is your rock of faith and what are you doing to stand strong?

Faith is believing in the unknown. It is believing that your requests, and prayers are not just heard but being answered. That your inner master, Christ, Mother Mary, God, Universe, Mother Gaia, Buddha, or who ever you turn too, is working behind the scenes and can see your future, your needs, your joys and delivers them. Faith heals, Faith opens our hearts, Faith makes our inner light shine so bright that nothing can extinguish it. 

In the season of love, faith is what shines the light.  Today I have faith that all is divine!

    This card aligns perfectly with the New Moon aspect of today.   Divine is simply....Divine!

Inner Child speaks, bringing awareness, letting us know it is time to heal, to move forward on our path. Life is not about staying in one place, becoming complacent, it is about the experience of the journey, to explore, grow, press in and step out of our comfort zones. The child who always resides in each adult, is expressing, it is time to nurture this fragment inside that expresses pain, hurt, fear, sadness, anxiety, anger,  and to comfort this child that is acting out, that feels neglected and to offer love and comfort, calming it, let it be the child that can simply play and have fun, that it doesn't have to protect you anymore that is is time for you to protect it and in a new way, telling this inner child not to worry, that you are embarking on a new path and to love you by sitting on the sidelines and cheer you on.  

It is time to look on the mirror and see the truth of who we are, to address that saboteur, trigger and share that it is time for a new way, a new journey, a new expression of who you are. 

This divine card goes hand in hand with the December New Moon, and with the Universe calling us to move forward! ​

                            December 11, 2015 ~ New Moon in Sagittarius
 
New moons are about planting seeds, gaining clarity and moving forward with action. It is time to step out of our comfort zone and pave the way for a fresh start. This new moon in December has a feminine effect and lets us process and think on how best to make changes that will assist us in shifting our thoughts and doing things differently to get results. This new moon gives usthe courage that is required to make the leap of faith with massive change from years of climbing the proverbial mountain.
 
This is the time to reflect before taking action  , to see what we have been choosing, what has held our attention and kept us stuck in our patternscausing us to repeat the same cycle over and over.  Old habits, behaviors and beliefs are being highlighted.  Look in the mirror of truth
 
This new moon is challenging us to think differently and to unlock those thoughts or beliefs that at one time served us but are now holding us captive from moving forward. It is time to stop these repetitive cycles and replace them with something new. Sagittarius allows us to take chances, to take the leap of faith.
 
This energy helps us open up to discover something new about ourselves.  It allows us to see we that we are strong and powerful beings inside a body that makes us believe we are limited and it is time to look past outward appearances and what society dictates and just go for it.
 
As I type this, I am being shown an automobile representing our bodies in this earthly experience. It is time to get new tires, a shiny coat of paint,and new engine that lets us really get going.  I love how God talks to me in pictures! It is time to go within and explore, to believe in the unknown, to dig deep and unlock the secrets that are hidden within us, and to believe that we can create our reality and attain what ever desire we hold. We just need to adjust our mind thoughts to release what limits us.  
 
This new moon will reveal the things that no longer serve us. Our highest need will be revealed and allow us to start something new and do things differently. They have been knocking at the door since the November full moon to get our attention – you know those nagging thoughts of what you should be doing and yet, find yourself not doing. To be honest I am ready for this new moon and ready to make some changes in my everyday life and allow my greatness to roar!
 
If you are open and allow it, the New Moon will help you do just that, to help you think about things differently approach life differently, and changeyour ways.
 
It is time to explore and make your checklist of what you desire to change.What are your hopes, dreams and wishes? Ask the Universe to help you see a new way to approach these desires.  Think out of the box and see yourself living with these changes.
 
New Moon in Sagittarius effects can bring restlessness AND help us maintain a positive outlook on life.  Have a sense of adventure and feel free toexpress your feelings with openness and honesty. 
 
General New Moon effects signifies a new beginning and fresh start - like an etch-a-sketch shaken clean to create a new picture.  It is time for planting seeds.
 
The planets affect us. They are the focal points of the horoscopes but, the energy and movements of the planets also jump start our soul and assist us on our path. They keep us moving forward. Each planet in the horoscope has specific functions and related meanings; this includes the sun and moon
 
The moon defines many things in our lives, such as feelings and emotions, instincts and intuition, memory and imagination, habits and repetitive patterns. Our home and family (females in general) moods, anxiety, our ability to adapt and change are all influenced by the moon.  

Many of you have been asking for a healing, may it be with the heart, body or soul, and this card came forth as reminder that "In the asking, it is done" and to trust that your prayers or asking has been heard by divine. The divine is the unknown, that works the miracles or magic that we witness, the angels are in abundance waiting to serve, it is for you to ask and yet the KEY is to believe. In the asking it is done. Simple reminder "don't undo in doubt what you have already done in faith". This tells us that when we believe the healing is in motion, and yet that creation of healing may come in an instant or take time, but it is for us to stand firm that it is done. Not to step back into the thought of uncertainly or disbelief, it is to believe that you, or another IS healed 

Today I believe, and willingly receive my healing, knowing it comes in divine timing, bringing a peace and ease into existence NOW!

Fire away!
 
We had a powerful, full moon November 25th shifting us from second gear to fifth gear, putting us on the highway of expansion, while reminding us our inner and soul work needs to be done before the end of 2015. Strap on your seatbelts.
 
The universe has called us into the office, telling us to drop everything! There is a priority headline project to get out – are you on board? Behold the unexpected plot twist!
 
With the full moon in Gemini, and Saturn squaring Neptune in effect, it will have you questioning your dreams and preparing you for a new road that the Universe has been quietly working behind the scenes clearing for you. 
 
Neptune is our dreams, wishes and escape from reality. Saturn rules order and structure to make sure we are always paying attention to reality.  The energy of these two planets can feel intense (I sure have been hit hard!). This can be looked at two ways: one as a boxing fight of two planets not getting along battling it out, or as a balance that the universe has provided.  It is like Saturn is the Yen to the Neptune’s Yang bringing a balance. Either way from this energy you can expect either a new beginning OR a push into old habits. Wait and watch what these planets have to teach us. This month, along with the moon, they are shining a light allowing us to find our highest truth and get clear on where we need to make decisions.  
 
The energy of these two planets makes us feel we are in a place of unknown, a fork in the road with no clear signs of which path to take. This path, like our etch-a-sketch, has been cleared from what we had designed, forcing us create a new design or path. At this time, we do not need to make these decisions quickly but should be patient to wait for guidance to show the way. Pay attention to what is happening around you and practice patience.
 
Use this energy for your highest good. See what is tugging at your heart as desire, what weighs heavily on you that you need to change, and dig in to find what will bring you into your truth and happiness. This can be hard when Saturn’s energy reminds us of boundaries of security while at the same time Neptune is sending you to the land of day dreams. Is there something better out there and what holds you back?
 
The energy of the Full moon will be with us until December 11 so take advantage of this time.  That will set your path in motion until September 2016. 
 
We are being forced to face issues we have been avoiding or putting off.
Its time to deal with bad habits, fears, poor behaviors, addictions, money spending, relationship and job changes. Look closely at what may be holding you back and what sacrifices  you need to make to grow.  This is God’s pruning time!
 
This is the big nudge to simplify and detoxify so you can get it right. 
 
Oh, did I mention that Mercury, the planet that defines your thinking process, and communication showing your work is in the mix! Don’t let your sharp edge or your active mind fuel your ego or fear during all this change.  Just saying…
 
It’s a time to see things for the first time, break free and make changes. Let your amazing, sexy, bright, light shine!

Inner Child

This 3 day card serves as a reminder to address our inner child, and  have some fun. Not to let family stress, or last minute work concerns derail us with this time of gratitude. These few days you may experience a personal agitation or another's words may trigger you. It is time to allow self love, and release any hidden shame, depression or being self critical. This inner child is what I refer to as a "fragment" it is a piece of our soul, that was frozen in time,due to a belief that was taken on, a tragedy, fear, loss, anything that is a trigger, a reaction that lights your fire and takes you out of harmony with yourself.  It is a great opportunity to comfort that fragment or lonely orphan with in, and let them know they are deeply loved, that you as the adult, will care and love them . You will find comfort with this process, with practice and guidance it offer deep healing and brings the peace you seek. Remember to have fun, enjoy, laugh, sing and dance. You deserve it!

                                               Your Friday 20 -Sunday 22 card - HONESTY

I find such a divine voice with this card being pulled along with the post about the planet Neptune revealing our hidden aspects.

This divine Mother Mary card is about self-honesty. It is a reindeer to be honest with ourselves with any situation that presents itself this weekend. Look at any feelings, emotions, confusion or annoyances that come forth. This can be when you are around others or even alone. Be aware of a potential trigger, that could evoke an emotion activating it into motion. By being honest with yourself, you can merge that aspect and gain inner strength by being in touch with your true feelings. Otherwise, you will be reacting instead of taking charge. Take some quiet time to look at and evaluate your feelings. Put your ego on the shelf and go deep. Your feelings are your GPS of information that the Universe / God / Divine want to communicate to you. 

Enjoy your weekend!

Today’s Planet of Neptune offers a potential intense day  
 
I am not an astrologer. I do however receive information, with getting a spiritual tap on my shoulder about planet movements, that I need to be aware of. I then allow the channeled information to come forward, offering guidance and insights as to what can be expected, and how to navigate.
 
Neptune the God of the sea, rules over the darkest depths of the ocean and our soul. He rules the unseen world that we cannot explain and he is responsible for our ability to fantasize and create, this energy of Neptune you will feel internally, with sensitivity, emotions and your conscious awareness to this aspect. Focusing on a task can be just that, a “task” for sure.
 
Don’t be distracted from your path or set intentions by what happens around you, things may seem as a tidal wave hitting you hard and feel as if you are knocked down.
 
Neptune has been retrograde since June 2015, bringing forth truths that we had not seen. Now at a stationary position ready to move direct, allowing us to see things in a different way, yet again.  Really!?! Just when we thought we had our balance.
 
Neptune is the planet that effects our imagination, and perception bringing Illusions and delusions. Obligations and sacrifices, sensitivity, and psychic impressions, and the Mystical tendencies  - welcome to my world! 
 
Neptune defines your compassion, tolerance and patience side. Can bring forth musical or creative side. This is a great time to allow, embrace the emotion and be in this creativity. Intuitive awakenings, Songwriters delight, Artists visions, at times embracing the pain of our emotions, it brings forth great beauty. Think about it singer and songwriter, Sam Smiths pain and heartbreak took him to number one on the music charts, bringing prosperity and worldwide tours. Just by kissing the wrong boy, and channeling his pain into his songs!
 
Neptune also awakens our self-destructive behavior. – Yeah, you know that self-saboteur, the terrorist inside that we all work hard at putting to sleep. Like the crazed sorority sister, that talks you into going out and getting drunk and the next day you wake to witness extreme damage from the night before, in which you were witnessing like a watching a horrible movie while it was happening. Be aware and comfort that tantrum destructive fragment, by putting it back to sleep – deep sleep1 Neptune is going to challenge us to look beyond our dreams, our realities and the truth to see the bigger picture.
 
This is why I pointed out not to be derailed from your intentions, to keep focus through the heavy fog, and navigate to your best. Turn on the faith button, and allow your intuition to speak to you. 
 
This effect does bring good –
 
Neptune helps us understand something’s are better left as they are and we do not need to understand only accept and acknowledge “it is, what it is”
 
Neptune won’t return to its full direct cycle until March, so use this time wisely and ponder on facing your truths. 
 
This time does bring the hidden out from the shadows, what we find hidden away, allows us to come into our truth of who we are. We are given through our challenges the strength that takes us forward on our journey. Breathe, meditate, ask for support and you will be just fine.  
 
There are times, you have to go deep, in order to find the richest hidden treasures. 

New moon in Scorpio is about revealing hidden aspects of ones self.  Scorpio sign and energy is known for power, money and sex, being known as a dark new moon. This mysterious Scorpio energy reveals the truth of who we are, by stripping away perception, and ones mask that had at one time served as protection but now is the time to reveal the true you. This new moon helps you get to the root of things, to finalize a project you have been working on, pitch it to your colleges and process the feedback for seeds of expansion, and harnessing the emotions to not take as personal criticism.
 
As an animal rams a tree to shake food loose, one may feel that the core of which they are is being shaken, to continually let go of what has not been serving you and allowing room for the new fruit of expansion.
 
This is a great time to set a small intention list, to build upon, finish, or start for the following month. It is also an opening for change of those who have had a well-lived life and being called home to our creator.
 
What you may experience

• Emotions within 3 days of the new moon bring forth what needs to be healed, known as a trigger. This new moon reveals jealousy, fear, and control and possessiveness head on, reminding us that we need to do the work and revitalize ourselves.  
• Health consciousness making you more aware of your food intake, your exercise and are you allowing laughter to happen or are you to serious.
• Desire to share and be open of your deep hidden secrets and desires. Explore a deeper intimacy with your partner or lover. 
• Be a watcher of your emotions and not engage with them, for it may cause a tangle with another that you would rather not have during this time of American Thanksgiving
• Deeper learning of how gratitude offers ease and the allowing of your manifestation.

Here we are in November and what a year it has been!

We have experienced a time that has allowed big personal expansions for many. It been an intense year for most, and many changes, release of things in life that no longer serve, and quiet time allowing us to embrace the new. I liken this to cleaning out or reorganizing the closet of life. With only 2 months until the new year it is time to take a good look at life and make sure we have done or doing just that. 

Here is my intuitive sharing for November, of what you can expect:
The Universe is encouraging us to letting go of old wounds, hurts, and pain that we have been holding  on to,

Expect soul growth in the following way.

Unknown aspects or fragments of who you may emerge,  You may remember a moment from the past that merges with your soul, that may offer an integration for healing, releasing of fear, anxiety, and teaching you not to doubt your own strengths. Don't ignore it for the healing is imperative to the new year of 2016.

Because this year end energy is so intense, what your beliefs of what is negative, actually is a positive for your path of expansion. If you are experiencing an ending, remember that while you may be feeling sense of loss, it will allow your spirit to make room for the new that is to come into your life.  Many will experience a loss of sorts, making room for what is to catapult you forward. It can be a client in business. Change in therapist, or doctor, or something in the medical field.

A loved one's soul maybe ready to evolve and leaving our company on this earthy planet.

An ending of  a partnership, or discussion of ending a married relationship is possible. An animal may leave or a new animal may come into your home. 

If you are single, it is time of opening of hearts that have been closed off, and releasing the old of what no longer serves you. In relationships, having an understanding of what you have learned will allow you to be open to experiencing a deeper, intimate relationship, Learn to trust and fully step into it with the open heart knowing even that it may be for a short time. This new relationship is a salve that heals old wounds.

It is a changing of the guards. Out with the old and in with the new, is needed for out expansion, Its the cycle of life.  Don't hold the door shut to these these experiences, for the new is standing right outside, trying to open it. 

​The new moon November 11 in Scorpio, offers a sweetness, you may feel your attractive side shining! 
 
November 25, in Gemini (one day before Thanksgiving in the United States) As we get closer to the full moon you may feel some outside pressure from Saturn. This may be especially noticed during family visits and gatherings. Ask others for support if you are hosting a gathering, if attending, be aware of those who need assistance. Do not get caught up in family challenging words for it will only become heated. Breath deep and with ease, 2 days before and 2 days after. Being aware of your emotions and harness your reactions to others or situations.

More details from my resource. 
November 3rd, Jupiter forms an opposition with Chiron. This will also recur in February and August 2016. It is a time when we are hungry for meaning and understanding, but it can be difficult to align ourselves with a personal philosophy or belief system that truly reflects our core. We might be led astray by beliefs and ideas, or we might experience some form of crisis of faith. Something might happen that challenges our beliefs, and we are made aware of it through a relationship or someone's perspective. We might also feel alone in our opinions, visions, or plans for the future, as others don't seem to understand our vision. Choices we've made in the past may no longer seem wise. It is important to look within and come to a greater understanding of what we truly need or believe, rather than blindly following something that doesn't truly serve our purpose.(what resonates with you?) New business endeavors may require a closer look before pushing forward. A project may have ended and now we're feeling restless without it, or we could face challenges in relationships due to differing beliefs and expectations.  

​On November 5th, Jupiter forms a quincunx with Uranus. This aspect will also recur in 2016, in March and August. We can experience restlessness under this influence. We need to make changes, but may not know what or when, and there can be bursts of rebelliousness if we are not in touch. We should probably refrain from making dramatic changes until we're clearer about what we want.

A New Moon energizes the sign of Scorpio on the 11th. We are encouraged to move away from our comfort zone and to welcome new ways to live, heal, and transform. It's a time for taking a good look at what we may have chosen to sweep under the carpet. Taking the time to understand others' motives can enrich our feelings of intimacy, forgiveness, and sense of meaning. We might want to use this cycle to focus on and develop one special project or relationship in order to help add purposefulness and depth to our lives.

Neptune turns direct on the 18th, and many of the illusions we have been holding onto emerge, confusing situations become clearer, and our creativity soars, or at least, we are more inclined to apply our creativity in the real world. Instead of thinking of this period as a time of disillusionment, we can see it as a time of illumination--when we increasingly see the light and become clearer, sharper, and more effective in the real world. We have more faith in our own dreams and visions, in others, and in belief systems. We increasingly seek inspiration from external sources.
 
A Full Moon occurs in the sign of Gemini on the 25th, and can bring sudden awareness to our lives and a rather urgent need to know, to get an important message across, to finish a communications project, or to make an announcement. Travel and communications are in strong focus.

Saturn forms a square with Neptune on the 26th - the first in a series that will recur in June and September, 2016. We've likely been feeling this energy in the past weeks and it will stick with us for much of 2016. Some feelings of disillusionment can come now as our dreams and ideals can be put to the test. Questioning our faith in our dreams can lead to lack of follow-through or wasteful activities and avoidance of responsibilities. Ideally, this crisis leads to a realignment of material goals and spiritual ideals as we assess what is truly meaningful to us. Financial restrictions may seem to block our plans, or we could feel a sudden lack of inspiration. We might be forced to face issues we've been avoiding or putting off, or deal with addictions, money drains, and other behaviors that have been dragging us down. Sacrifices may need to be made in order to gain materially or spiritually. It's important to simplify and detoxify, but also reach out to others for support and guidance. Over the coming year, it will be important to take a hard look at our addictions, fears, and attitudes that have us chained to situations and that keep us from growing.
