REMARKABLE~

2011-09-17T10:23:00.000-07:00

REMARKABLE~

Dictionary definition – Remarkable applies to anything noticeable because it is striking, extraordinary or exceptional.

We are all remarkable. The problem is most of us have forgotten the remarkable individuals we are. How do we remember our remarkable?

The universe has a way of not letting us off the hook. There is a grand plan for each and every person’s life. Each one of us is unique and remarkable with specific reasons and a life’s purpose for being here. Most times we forget these and get lost in life. It is a game of hide and seek to find the real you.

There are many transits affecting us now and one major player is the on again, off again, Uranus square Pluto through 2015. This transit is not business as usual. It is dredging up the past and hidden parts of us not working.

Opportunities abound for us to lighten our load and let go of things not working for our highest good. There is a reason the mystery schools had “Know Thyself” written over the door. When you understand and know you, understanding and seeing others becomes easier. The emotional wounding filter is gone and the vision is clearer.

We are in the throes of a new paradigm. Many do not understand what is happening and they haven’t realized yet that the old paradigm is not working. They just feel this strong squeeze in their lives and they choose not to understand what is happening.

When you choose to ignore this new energy the consequences feel like being in muck and quicksand up to your neck. The harder you struggle against it, the faster and further you sink! Pain and fear set in and you are actually drowning in the pain of your own emotional wounding.

You can’t breathe. You have created your own prison. You can’t see why this is happening. You are stuck on the hamster wheel of life. Many start looking for quick fixes and love in all the wrong places. Something that distracts you for a moment only prolongs the agony.

Most people blame others. This is not the way out. Finding remarkable again is the way through the pain, facing it and finding you again. Taking responsibility for your mistakes, misunderstandings and patterning. Healing the bits of you that are broken is your job and road to happiness.

We are transitioning from one age to another, the old to the new. Many of us showing the way for others are climbing this ladder and we literally can’t see the next rung we are moving to. We are pioneering in new ways of beings and forms. We are reaching out in faith, trusting and doing what is right in front of us. Knowing when the time is right we will know exactly what to do for our highest good.

The new ways and paradigm is being put into place right now by soul pods meeting together, radio shows and other pioneer souls reaching out in diverse ways to show themselves and others a new way to live. This new energy is not for the faint of heart. It is intense energy showing us where we are broken and wounded so we may heal. Only the strong are stepping up and taking action to help bring a brave new world into reality for themselves and others.

We go against all odds. We are running an obstacle course in the darkness and we must trust to know when the unseen hurdles are coming so we can jump over them. We must listen to our inner guidance. We can’t give up.

If that way doesn’t work we turn around and go in a new direction. We are not afraid to overcome the obstacles that come at us at any given moment. We handle the shock and awe and move beyond it into emotional clarity we are learning to possess.

The ones who want to grow and learn the lessons are watching what is being mirrored to them and what they are projecting onto others. We are realizing we can only fix us and no one else. New awareness and awakening is available for us now. It is helping us find our remarkable individual divine soul blue print by giving us the opportunity to remember who we truly are.

REMARKABLE!

So it’s your turn to get creative, find you and get to getting and doing your job of helping bring in this new paradigm of Heaven on Earth!

I’m leaving your with this poem by Seth Godin, from the book The Big Moo

Who You Are Is What You Do

You are not a cog.

You are not an assistant or an administrator.

You're not a gofer or a middle manager, either.

No, you're creative. A valuable asset to your family and your community. A person who can make a difference to your organization.

You are capable of having an impact, leaving a legacy, creating things that are outstanding.

You are not ordinary.

In fact, you're remarkable.

Now, hurry. Don't let yourself (and the rest of us) down.

Finding Inspiration Amidst Chaos

Finding Inspiration Amidst Chaos - April 2011 CIL Magazine

With everything happening in our world, it is important to keep our balance and stay centered; in order to follow our inner guidance. Being able to listen to this voice will help us navigate these trying times. There is hope for tomorrow and we must all continue to find our Inspiration Amidst Chaos. My new article just released in Conscious Inspired Living Magazine is filled with Truth and Inspiration for your soul!

Our hearts, love and help go out to the people of the world; especially the ones who have gone through so much! And we say to them and us don't give up, we must all find a better way to live and take care of ourselves and mother earth!

Full Moon, 28 Libra, April 18, 2011, 7:44 pm PDT

2011-04-17T12:58:00.000-07:00

This Full Moon energy is a time to check our feelings and emotions regarding our self- worth issues and balance our needs and those of others. It is a time of polarization between becoming whole, healthy individuals, and embracing our self-worth and that of the partner and others. We are striving for equality and peace in relationships. With 5 planets in Aries (passion and taking action, fire element) opposing the Moon and Saturn in Libra (detached and mental, balance - the scales, air element) with a square to Pluto in Capricorn (practical, laser focus and structure, earth element); this tension is at a fever pitch calling for our attention and forcing us to take action. We need to listen to our inner guidance, and see where we need to do our lives a new way; and remember, we are all connected. We all must do our emotional clearing work, so we can heal ourselves to quicken the healing of our world.

With Neptune in Pisces, we can either fall further into self-delusion or start to realize and feel compassion and the feelings of others. In Pisces, the boundaries are gone and we realize we are expressions of individual waves on the ocean and we are all one. We will find joy in rejoicing in others triumphs and hurt with their pain; we will be able to feel mother earth as a living organism that needs our respect and honor.

Many of us are reaching forks in the road of our destiny, and with this come decisions and choices that will affect us for years to come. It is a very important time to move us forward on our paths and to realize things are not as bad as they may seem right now. These energies are actually making way for a brave new world for us, and we must be patient with this process. Many things seem weird, unpredictable, and irrational during this time. Hold on to the knowledge that everything is working in your favor and for your highest good. Ask your higher self, angels and guides to be shown what direction to take and to know this direction is in your best interest now!

Happy Spring Equinox

2011-03-21T22:37:00.000-07:00

The energies over the next 3 months will take us on a wild ride, as Uranus in Aries is in a wide square to Pluto in Capricorn and will be squaring each other for some time to come. Things will be challenging wherever this falls in your chart.

The Sun is conjunct Uranus in Aries, giving us a lot of energy for change, upheavals, revolutions and new understandings. Saturn in Libra opposes Jupiter in Aries and many other planets in Aries will bring tension and a balancing act of opposite energies; this tension will show up by working through karma we have created by our past actions and realizing the actions we take now will affect our future.

Many things we thought were important or that would last forever are now crumbling because they have become obsolete. We are facing a new reality about ourselves, our relationships, our values and the choices we make. Our belief systems are changing. We need to follow and sow the seeds of new beginnings and cycles, so that we may take new steps for a brave new world!

No one said it would be easy, but with trust and faith in a broader view of our lives and remembering everything works according to a divine plan, we realize this is a very exciting time to follow our dreams and know our paths lie right in front of us. It is time to do our lives a brand new way. We can do our part by leaving the obsolete behind and embracing what is right in front of us. We must push through the fears of change and being stuck by moving into our own power and bringing equality to all!

Creative Will

2011-03-19T09:08:00.000-07:00

My recent article, Creative Will is now available for your enjoyment and inspiration in the March CIL Magazine. I discuss the Cosmic Fire of Uranus and the Creative Will it brings us. Where ever Uranus in Aries is falling in your chart will be the energy of the Tower and Fool Tarot Cards and this is discussed as well.

Children Learn What They Live

2011-03-18T12:54:00.000-07:00

By: Dorothy Law Nolte, 1972

If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.

If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.

If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.

If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.

If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.

If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.

If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.

If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.

If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.

If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.

If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.

If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.

If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal.

If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.

If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.

If children live with fairness, they learn justice.

If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect.

If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them.

If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.

This is so important for us to remember and realize how growing up with any of these as children are brought into our lives to be relived as adults. Clearing what is not working for us is the first step to freedom!

How Do I Transform My Life?

2011-02-24T12:08:00.000-08:00

The transits happening now are forcing people to look at their lives from a new perspective. Many are realizing the paths they are on are not working for them. Clients and friends are asking, “How do I transform and fix my life?”

The steps taken on your life path depends on the individual; but in many cases the questions to ask and things to address are universally the same. On the road to self-awareness you will find many challenges, blessings and discover your Soul’s Divine Blueprint.

*Focus on You

(Not on the things you can’t change.)

*Figure out what is most important to you.

(Prioritize)

*Make a Plan

(Action Steps)

*Take action steps by doing something small you can physically take in the new direction! Keep forward movement.

*Ask for Help, Guidance & Support from God (Source), your Angels, Guides & Friends (When the student is ready the teacher appears.)

*Be Open to New Ways of Being, Thinking & Looking at things from New Directions. (Don’t continue to do the same thing over and over again and expect a new result. This is insanity. Only you can change your world.)

*When Passion Connects to your Heart & you Love what you do - you know you are fulfilling your Soul’s Purpose.

*Remember to Always Love You. Be Patient with the Process and Yourself!

*Give Gratitude and Thanks Everyday for Everything!

*Be Creative - Creativity Helps us Heal. Cooking, Writing, Designing, Drawing, Crocheting - the possibilities are endless!

* Look Forward - Remember Your Path is what Lies in Front of You.

*Clear out possessions and things you own - keep only what you need and love.

*Most importantly - Seek help for emotional clearing! (An emotional trigger can send you off on a tangent and cause you to miss what you need to gleam and see in each experience. We must grow to become all we were meant to be!)

*Know Thyself - The ego can sabotage us when it doesn’t feel safe doing new things or trust a new direction. It must cooperate and learn to trust the guidance of the Higher Self; The Wise Part of Us.

*Love and Honor You.

Who knows how to Love you better than You? Don’t expect someone else to fill this void of Love. It is not possible and we set ourselves up for pain by placing this expectation on someone else.

*Look to See Where your Blocks and Resistance Are – Work through them. Don’t let them stop you. Your gifts lie in them.

*Make a positive shift in your thinking. Watch to see where the negative thoughts are, realize they become live thoughtforms and go to the opposite polarity of positive thoughts.

Many people are going through this process of alchemy, transformation and change to align with their higher self and the work they came here to do. We need to do everything thing we can to help this shift into a new paradigm and new emerging world consciousness. Many blessings!

Uranus in Aries

2011-02-16T09:14:00.000-08:00

On March 11, 2011, Uranus goes into Aries. Uranus rules rebellion, uprisings, sudden change, groups and humanitarianism to name a few. We will continue to see major changes in our world as this energy continues to build for revolution and a better way for us as individuals and the whole. Action steps and the creative will of the people will come together as it moves into Aries. This energy can move like lightening and will be electrifying in many ways.

This energy is detached from emotion, it is about passion, making dreams come true, utopia and it is about bringing change into the world at a core level from the ground up.

This is the beginning of a brand new 84 year cycle for the planet Uranus as it moves through the zodiac. So new seeds planted with Uranus in Pisces will begin to sprout and take root and spring forth as small plants. Some will survive and thrive and others will die. Nurture those thriving and allow the unhealthy ones to pass out of your life.

Many times when change is affected it can take some time to create the inertia for movement. Once this movement starts it can swing too far to the opposite side before it comes back to the middle where compromise and harmony happen.

It is happening on an individual and collective level.

This time is about awakening the lower nature/self to the higher intellect/self and allowing a positive shift in our consciousness to emerge as individuals; so when we come together in groups, they are a thriving, healthy organism to affect change for the highest good of all!

Karma

2011-01-15T06:09:00.000-08:00

"As you sow so shall your reap."

"Do onto others as you would have others do onto you."

Follow the 3 RES. RESpect for others. RESpect for yourself. RESponsibility for all your actions. Dalai Lama

How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.

Wayne Dyer

Karma is the outcome of the thoughts and actions we take.

We all make choices everyday for our highest good or not. People think they get away with their harmful choices that hurt themselves and other people, but we don't.

This is an important concept to get for humans, because we don't have to be the ones to enforce karma. It needs no address and vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord. I am writing about this now, so others may let go of feeling the need for retribution towards others. There are so many relationships breaking up and upheavals too numerous to mention here. We need to all fill our hearts with Love, Compassion and Forgiveness. We are all connected!

We don't understand the filter other people are coming from, their patterning, what is normal to them and we can only understand our own. So it is in our best interest to allow others to be and unfold in their own timing. This doesn't mean we must continue to allow abuse in our lives.

Nothing we do is trivial. When people have affairs, lie, act deceitful, sneak around, have secrets, talk badly about others, steal, have addictions, verbally or physically abuse others; they hurt themselves as well. All actions have outcomes, and all outcomes have greater ramifications than you are aware of. What goes around, comes around.

Karmic law isn't based on any religion, faith, or tradition; it is a natural law which simply exists irrespectively! Karma is a universal principle which states 'All action and reaction must be opposite and equal." It is the main reason why I try to be the best I can be. Self preservation and self knowledge are tools to help me live a more joyful, happier life. It helps us light the way to a better way for all.

As a society we must always have boundaries and not allow lawlessness. The same goes for us as individuals. The main thing is for us to not judge, lest we be judged. Yet remain true to you, your values and belief systems. These may change over time. the main thing is to do the best you can always!

Job 4:8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. (Karma)

Deu 24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. (Karma)

Psa 7:15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. (Karma)

Psa 7:16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. (Karma)

Psa 9:16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. (Karma)

Hosea 8:7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. (Karma)

Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. (Karma)

Simple Thoughts for 2011

2010-12-31T21:43:00.000-08:00

The world would be a much better place, if we could only remember and understand some of the simple laws of our universe.

What goes around, comes around. (For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction and you don't have to believe this for it to be true.)

Treat others as you want to be treated.

Karma needs no address. People make conscious choices everyday for their highest or lowest good.

Show respect & love to yourself, you are made in the image of God.

WE are LOVE!

We are all connected! If you hurt others, you hurt yourself!

The only thing you can change about a situation is how you view it.

Actions, speak louder than words.

Our gifts lie in our shadow issues! We must face them to gain access to them.

Your path is what lies in front of you.

Creativity promotes healing.

Change is inevitable, embrace it!

What you think, you become!

It is your divine birthright to thrive & do well!

Do you have any more to add to this? I would love to hear from you.

Giving

2010-12-03T12:59:00.000-08:00

During the holiday season too much emphasis is put on holiday giving and too many people painfully go into debt in order to give material things to each other and their families. It is time to step back and look at things from an old and new perspective. It is time to do our holidays a new way and not allow ourselves to be swayed by ads, peers, commercials and news.

It is time to stop ourselves from being lead like cattle in any direction the people behind the retail sales and media blitz see fit. Giving from the heart is what's most important and the following poem from a historical author reminds us of what is important to our souls. We can fix our holiday traditions to work more in alignment for everyone's highest good. It is not necessary to spend money we don't have or give gifts for the pure material sake of giving, because we feel the pressure to do so. This is not what Christmas is about in the first place.

Ask yourself, How can I give from my heart to my family and teach my family to give from their hearts? There is something very special about giving out of love and from your heart. Let's recapture the true essence of giving and receiving this holiday season. Make the holidays come alive inside of you!

What new family tradition will you be start this year?

Khalil Gibran, The Prophet, Poem on Giving

Then said a rich man, speak to us of Giving.

And he answered:

You give but little when you give of your possessions.

It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

For what are your possessions but things you keep and guard for
fear you may need them tomorrow?

And tomorrow, what shall tomorrow bring to the over-prudent

dog burying bones in the trackless sand as he follows the pilgrims

to the holy city?

And what is fear of need but need itself?

Is not dread of thirst when your well is full, the thirst that is

unquenchable?

There are those who give little of the much which they have -

and they give it for recognition and their hidden desire makes

their gifts unwholesome.

And there are those who have little and give it all.

These are the believers in life and the bounty of life, and their

coffer is never empty.

There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.

And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their

baptism.

And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do

they seek joy, nor give with mindfullness of virtue;

They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance

into space.

Through the hands of such as these God speaks, and from behind

their eyes He smiles upon the earth.

It is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked,

through understanding;

And to the open-handed the search for one who shall receive is
joy greater than giving.

And is there naught you would withhold?

All you have shall some day be given.

Warrior of the Light Behaves Like Water

2010-11-28T19:39:00.000-08:00

The Warrior of the Light sometimes behaves like water,
flowing around the obstacles he encounters.

Occasionally, resistance might mean destruction, and so
he adapts to the circumstances. He accepts, without complaint
that the stones in his path hinder his way through the
mountains.

Therein lies the strength of water: It cannot be touched
by a hammer or ripped to shreds by a knife. The strongest
sword in the world cannot scar its surface.

The river adapts itself to whatever route proves possible,
but the river never forgets its one objective: the sea. So
fragile at its source, it gradually gathers the strength of
the other rivers it encounters.

And, after a certain point, its power is absolute.

-Paulo Coelho

Remember when things get tough to be like water.

Divine Mystic

Warrior of the Light

2010-11-22T15:47:00.000-08:00

Some excerpts from Warrior of the Light by Paulo Coelho to help challenge our thinking as Lightworkers and Warriors of the Light! It is an amazing book to help us change our vision and focus to where it needs to be! I highly recommend this book for all Lightworkers on this Path.

Every Warrior of the Light has felt afraid of going into battle.

Every Warrior of the Light has, as some time in the past, lied or betrayed someone.

Every Warrior of the light has trodden a path that was not his.

Every Warrior of the Light has, at least once, believed that he was not a Warrior of the Light.

Every Warrior of the Light has failed in his spiritual duties.

Every Warrior of the Light has said "yes" when he wanted to say "no".

Every Warrior of the Light has hurt someone he loved.

That is why he a Warrior of the Light, because he has been through all this and yet has never lost hope of being better than he is.

The Warrior of the Light always checks to see he carries these 3 things - faith, hope and love. And when these 3 things are there, he does not hesitate to move forward.

The Warrior simply has to accept the challenge, He knows that God never overlooks a single mistake made by those he loves, nor does he allow his favorites to pretend ignorance of the rules of the game.

A Warrior of the Light realizes that his best teachers are the people with whom he shares the battlefield.

The Warrior of the Light meditates.

A Warrior of the Light knows that in the silence of his heart he will hear an order that will guide him.

Celebrating You & Life

2010-11-21T21:55:00.000-08:00

During the holiday season much mention is made of celebrating life. Today is the beginning of the rest of your life. What will you do with it? Celebrating the beginning of the rest of your life can be challenging without the right perspective and light. So stop and think about this!

Do you have something to celebrate?

Yes, YOU!

Do you have problems?

Yes, it is life; we will always have problems. Highs and Lows. Ups and Downs. Growth and Learning. All of us make good and bad choices that affect us and everyone around us everyday. It is why we must work hard to make the best possible choices for ourselves and others every moment.

Does this stop you from enjoying your life and keep you from moving forward?

Look at the blocks. This is your next step and what you must work through. Allowing the pain of the world to stop you is forcing you to continue to be the victim. Pick yourself up by the boot straps, ask for guidance and direction from within and start those boots marching. You have the power to change your own life.

How do you create a new perspective and reshape how your life looks?

You can’t change the past. You can only change what happens today and from this day forth. Remember you can’t take the same approach or attitude about everything and have a different result. You can’t keep doing the same thing and expect something new. So ask yourself how do I look at this situation differently? How is it serving my highest good? What steps can I take or what do I need to understand so I can shift my thinking for the better?

Don’t be afraid to step into your own power. Look at what is blocking you from being all you can be and take steps to get help in these areas of your life. Ask for support from your friends and like-minded people. Check your fears at the door and step through the door and don’t look back. They are no longer serving you in your new way of being.

The strong man conquers his fears and continues to do so as they raise their head. No one said living on this planet would be easy. It is a school where we come to learn and it is not our home. Thank heaven we are only visiting so we may benefit from our learning. How far have you come in learning your spiritual lessons?

When we come here we fall into delusion of our true nature and we truly must find who we are again, stay connected to source and stay true to your core self to be happy, survive and thrive.

What Do Praying Mantis & Our Times Have In Common?

2010-10-07T23:52:00.000-07:00

While we were out yesterday my daughter saw this Praying Mantis and stopped to show it to her daughter. Of course, we had to take a photo of it and being who I am came home to check what Praying Mantis has to share with us. It's a very interesting totem.

It is a time for us to be still & emotionally clear inside so we may hear & see where we are being lead with our wisdom, visions & dreams. When you go within you draw upon the Universal Power to help you manifest according to your higher self! Every thing starts to fall into place. It gives you single mindedness in your focus of accomplishing what you came here to do for you souls design and needs.

It is always best to remain invisible & not expose your new plans until the right timing, so people don't try to stop or block you before you are ready!

Look at the Master of Camouflage. It matched this yellow pole perfectly. Talk about an eye for color! :)

We need to allow ourselves to change the colors of who we thought we had to be and morph into allowing all expressions of us to flow now! Our souls are rainbows! Follow the openings in your life, you never know where it may lead! It is time for us to be all we can be!

THE TIME IS NOW!

Many blessings to you!

Praying Mantis Totem

The Power of Stillness

The Praying Mantis teaches how to still the outer mind and go within ourselves.

Through this, we can draw upon greater power -- physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. That stillness can be simple contemplation or meditation or even dreaming.

Healers often have Praying Mantis totems -- for they use their inner stillness to focus their healing power.

The greatest lesson this totem teaches is patience. Learning to wait for the right moment before striking. * above referenced from here - http://www.linsdomain.com/totems/pages/prayingmantis.html

"They are masters of adaptability and camouflage. This and the willingness to wait in stillness for what they want are the two primary characteristics of mantids and those with this totem. These folks have "invisibility" medicine. They blend in so well, no one notices them, unless they want to be noticed. By then they have already scooped the situation, news event, or negotiation."

"Mantis medicine is about the creative process of becoming. Personal and direct kinship with everything and everyone is the very process of life itself. Has modern life made you feel overly critical, analytical, isolated and powerless? Can you say that you know yourself, or are truly known by another, your community, or by the creatures and plants where you live? Feeling yourself to be yourself, you could commit to a daily practice of meditation, facilitating knowing and accepting yourself in the stillness of the dreamtime, thereby experiencing oneness with yourself and kinship with all beings. Call upon Mantis to help you live a life of universal kinship. Then, wherever you go on earth, home will always be with you, in you." Cie Simurro, aka Thunderbird Starwoman **http://wisdom-magazine.com/Article.aspx/1659/

Pluto in Capricorn, Square Saturn in Libra - Another Fine Mess You Got Us Into Ollie... from Laurel & Hardy

2010-09-20T18:26:00.000-07:00

When you find your life in a mess, don't blame someone else. Look no further than the mirror. This is a time to get real with oneself and others. There is no way out of this now. People are being forced to become real; where we our wounded as individuals and as a group is coming out for all to see. People, Institutions, Governments, Authorities are now crumbling; if their house was built in sand. Those of us who buried our heads for too long allowing others to run our lives and government without watch dogs are now paying the price. We are being forced to wake up as individuals & a collective!

When you realize the government is only a representation of the people. It is a sad note of who we have become as a nation, since our forefathers and so many others fought and continue to fight so hard for our freedom. And we haven’t taken good care of honoring them by giving it away by our own choosing; through ignorance, out of fear, despair, being beaten down, greed and forgetting who we truly are and came here to be.

The time for living in La La land is fast coming to an end. You can feel this energy slowly changing as more and more abuse of our money by people we trusted, institutions and such comes to light. No more living pipe dreams or lives that don’t suit us or represent who we truly are in the design of our soul.

Let’s break this down – Pluto rules atomic bombs, authenticity, transformation, death & rebirth for starters. It’s in the sign of Capricorn that rules authorities, government, status quo, false egos, etc. Its energy is limiting and restricting and gives us boundaries and focus. So right here we have two energies at work - One breaking apart and forcing us to become real and transforming the other trying to hold on to the status quo & false ego. These two now square Saturn in Libra. Saturn again is ruled by Capricorn so all the same attributes apply as above and this is now in the sign of Libra which rules relationships and can we please just all get along. It wants things balanced, harmonious and nice. Things must work for the group now, not just the authorities or government and the status quo is being redrawn to more authentically represent us the people, again individually and as a whole.

So the battle lines have been drawn and we are being forced to realize and see where we need to become more healthy for us, grow into our power and by doing this we help the whole. Relationships of all kinds come into focus and must become real as well with Saturn in Libra Squaring Pluto and it will expose the strengths and weaknesses in them.

When life knocks you down and you start to have a pity party, look around and see that others are far worse off. Find gratitude in everything. There are gifts deeply hidden in the darkest hour; don't forget to look for them. They are priceless and remain hidden until you reap the rewards by searching for the treasures! The situation is just a distraction keeping you from finding them. It is a game to see how bad you want them. We must work for what we want and God helps those who help themselves.

In the dark, shadow moments, our gifts are hidden in the reasons we are in pain. We must look harder because there is no light to see where they are hiding. If you stay sad in the dark, who is going to care? Only we can recognize how and where our lives are not working and why we find ourselves in these dark painful places. It doesn't always mean you must toss people away; we just need to approach our thinking from a different perspective and then decide which road to take.

If things are falling apart it is for good reason and you are being forced to see where things aren’t working in your life. Thereby needing to make a plan so we can bridge from the old crumbling life, into that which will represent who we truly have become now. Finding your gifts along the way and being thankful instead of fighting the changes will help greatly in this process and finding support from like-minded people and friends!

Lighten up, don’t be too serious, Laugh at life’s situations and most of all Love & Forgive oneself & others always.

Jupiter & Uranus in Pisces & Healing

2010-09-16T16:35:00.000-07:00

"By far the strongest poison to the human spirit is the inability to forgive oneself or another person. Forgiveness is no longer an option but a necessity for healing." ~Caroline Myss

While Uranus and Jupiter are moving back into Pisces for the last time. We must see where we have been allowing ourselves to be victims, not having good boundaries and facing many things we have hidden away in our closets, including our shadow issues. We must face them and claim our hidden strengths & gifts by overcoming our weaknesses. It is time to forgive ourselves and others for the choices we have made so we may heal this hidden patterning keeping us from claiming our power.

We are being given opportunities through crisis and break downs in our lives to see what is working and what is not. It doesn't work to go around blaming others anymore, we must look to ourselves to see why this is happening to us. What attracted it to us and how can we change that? It is time to claim our strength and step out of the crowd and old way of blaming and being the victim and take control of our destiny, lives and wounding.

Right now many are going around feeling like victims and blaming the economy, their work, their loved ones, their government & others for the places they find themselves. It is time to start living and thinking a new way as these planets finish up in Pisces. We need to pick ourselves up by the nap of our necks and start taking responsibility for where we are and how the heck do we fix our lives?

Once you start looking for answers the teachers will come!

Happy Fall Season to You All!

Resistance to Change - Our Shadow Issues

2010-09-10T17:51:00.000-07:00

It is human nature to resist change, yet when pain comes along in life, it can force us to start asking questions and looking for better ways of being for our highest good. In this sense, pain serves a very positive purpose, as long as we can step out of the pain long enough to look for answers. This is usually when people start a spiritual quest. They want to learn how to take responsibility for their lives and live them in a more joyful way.

Since we are human we run into resistance from our constructed egos along the way. This is a normal reaction since the ego only feels comfortable doing what it already knows, what was planned or what it thinks it is supposed to be doing. Most of the time this is learned behavior from family, society and peers. It doesn’t matter if it is working for us or not, or whether it represent who we truly are or not. It will resist new openings, ideas, thoughts and actions! It will say this is not how we were going to do this, or it has to be done this way for it to be correct.

What happens in these situations is then you are not allowing room to be Spirit Led. It is good to have a plan in life, but we have to go with the openings that are coming in now. We may eventually get back to our plan, but in the meantime we need to follow the openings in front of us to live a Spirit Led life! If what we want for ourselves is not working at this time, then there is something else we need to be doing now.

This is when resistance raises its head to keep us from moving forward in a direction the ego doesn’t think is right. Resistance is when energy in motion is stuck. When we resist openings that are right in front of us and we block ourselves from moving into them. Sometimes this resistance is saying we need to do things another way.

When we find reasons why we shouldn’t do something that is opening to us for one reason or another, we must become aware of the resistance and then see if there is good reason for the resistance; or if it is the ego resisting something new. When we can’t do something that has opened up to us, it is time to become aware we are running into resistance.

When we are leaving old ways of doing things behind and moving into new ways of trying things, we need to find support from others to help us on this path. New families come together of like minds. We need to see where can we share, give, and express more of us? We help others and ourselves through our gifts and our talents. See yourself as a great, giant receiver. Remember, we are always in a state of receiving and know you are in a state of abundance because you are open to receiving blessings.

What are our gifts, our spin on things? Our personalities are important now too. All parts of our individuality need to be expressed. We also need to get rid of things in our lives and not have too much stuff now. If it is just sitting there, it represents old consciousness. It is time to Cleanse, Release, Rearrange and RENEW!

What do I need to keep in my life and how is it serving me now? Let’s create MAGIC like feather medicine, be like the HAWK & EAGLE and rise above the unhealthy happenings in our lives so we can continue to be all we can be and see the broader view.

Change Your Neverending Story!

2010-06-15T06:29:00.000-07:00

“Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives.” Robert Collier

When you quickly fall into old ways of painful thinking, stop yourself and say how can I do this differently?

Anything that isn't fluid, in the flow or in the present you are caught in projection and being triggered. Michele Meiche

The old ways of handling our problems are not working! If it is causing us pain and we continue to do the same thing over and over again; we will not get a new result. If we continue to think about how awful our situation is day in and day out we are only attracting more negativity and pain to us!

We must stop the subconscious from falling into the trap of lies and continuing to believe the never-ending story that was told to us; which is not the true or authentic story of our souls/lives. We are the only ones who can change this story and what we believe about us, by changing the story we tell our subconscious every day!

We are made in the image of God and are a spark in his likeness, how powerful is that? Yet we complain we are powerless. We must change how we think and what we believe about ourselves! The true story of who you are must come out now so you may shine as the unique individual your soul is and we must do our part in helping to heal ourselves and the whole! We are all connected like waves on the Ocean! Everyone working on themselves is helping our world, communities and families become a better place to be!

Re write your story to reflect the authentic you!

Endings, New Beginnings and Manifesting

2010-06-14T18:10:00.000-07:00

For those of us who have been working on healing ourselves, walking our walk, talking our talk and realizing where we need to let go; then starting to see the new ways we need to bring in. It is definitely a time for endings, new beginnings and manifesting right now.

It is very important when you think about manifesting what you want that you watch how you are thinking and the actions you are taking on those thoughts! Be specific in your asking and what you want to manifest.

Don't just say I want a good looking woman/man...cause there are lots of good looking woman/man who are very damaged, cheaters, emotional abusers...get the idea??? My point is be specific in what you want to bring in for you and always ask for it to be for your highest good.

Do you want to move? where? what does the house look like? how much does it cost? how many rooms? bathrooms? color? square feet? what does the outside look like? what type of neighbors? how close are they? What is the city like you live in? Is it a city or a forest? getting the idea?

Next, we must be sure the things we are doing are for our highest good and that they are authentically representing us in our actions and thoughts on all levels.

We have the power to bring forth what we want from Spirit, as long as 1) it is true for us and resonating to our being (*i.e. you love yourself and know you deserve what you are asking for and it is for your highest good.) 2) You don’t continue to think thoughts, or fill thoughtforms with doubt, have negative rationalizations, or allow your conscious or unconscious minds to distract you from what you are concentrating on.

You can ask the Lord for a million dollars, but if you don’t love yourself enough to know you deserve it or you don’t handle your money well then the chances of attracting that are slim to none; because we are creating a block. We must be resonating to what we are attracting, so we must look to us to see where we are blocking ourselves and what needs fixing in us! We need to get the log out of our own eye before we can help others with theirs. We are the way showers and are here to help others find the way by showing them how, not blaming them for our problems.

Last, but not least; for example, if you want a good marriage and you believe yourself to be a victim how will you attract a good marriage? You will always attract being the victim or being someone’s scape goat.

We must look to what is being mirrored to us to fix in our lives now and see what isn’t working and visualize the new ways we want in our lives to make this happen. The time of being a victim is now changing when we leave the Piscean age behind and move into the age of Aquarius. So much is being asked of us to change for the shift in this energy coming in! We now must become the unique individuals that we are, be comfortable with who we are and our unique gifts. We are not made in molds and then we can bring this wonderful healthy person into the whole to make a better world for us all!

On top of all of this, remember things are happening in new ways you would never expect or look for; so keep an open mind!!

Blessings to all of us, take advantage of these opportunities for new beginnings, have fun, relax and when you mind is not well you know something needs fixing. Start tuning into your self to find your answers. Develop a relationship with Spirit and trust what is being said.

Astrology Basics

2009-07-15T12:39:00.000-07:00

This article will cover a little on planetary astrology basics. How fate and free will intersect in astrology and our lives and how the nature of our character plays an important role in what comes forth as a result of astrological factors and readings.

Having investigated astrology for more than 28 years, I find it is a system the works remarkably well. It works in specific and astoundingly accurate ways. There is a lot of superstition and skepticism surrounding it by those who have usually never studied it. “Western Astrology” is a dynamic living system of symbolic mathematics showing us the natural cycles of life and events. Astrology’s foundation involves 4 essential factors.

The essential elements of Western Astrology are the interrelationships between planets, signs, houses, and aspects. These four building blocks are the symbols of everything It embodies. The planets are the inner “lights” or actors you are playing in this play called life. The signs are the role, filters or flavor through which the personality expresses itself. The houses are the setting or situations in which the cast portrays its roles. All Planets occupy a sign as well as a house. The 4th building block is the aspects to each planet show How we play our roles, whether challenging or easy, specialized or crisis producing.

An example of how this works, sun in Taurus in the 10th house. The planet (actor) - the sun shows where your heart is, it is about power and integrity. it is what you are working towards learning in this life. It must shine in order for you to feel good about you. So this actor is about where your heart is at and how you let your light shine. The Sun example sign is in Taurus – this is the Role or filter you let your sun shine through. So for Taurus it’s filters will be about practical matters, acquiring possessions, stability, sensuality and simplicity, plus much more. The house it falls in determines the arena of life these factors work in. So if your sun in Taurus is in the 10th house the arena of your career, public recognition and reputation will be all important in where and how you shine! Then you must look at what other planets aspect the Sun and what it means to this inner light! This works for all planets, signs and houses according to their placements in your chart.

“Astrology shows us how we are fractured and how we are whole.” Robert Bly. How much power do we have to change things, if our life cycles are supposedly set at birth?

Astrological timing and tendencies do not take away our “Free Will”. If anything astrology forces us to develop our “Free Will,” since our fate or destiny is determined by how our character is shaped by choices at critical moments in our lives. Astrology can help you figure out when you will be challenged, whether to act or to understand, and decide how you will respond to certain areas of your inner and outer life. It forewarns and forearms you to these crucial times and decisions where our choices determine our future.

Astrology does not make anything happen as only we can make anything happen. We must assume that we make and demonstrate our character though our choices. And some choices are more important than others, but all choices make up our personality. It is the understanding of these cycles of life and how we respond to them as to whether or not we understand the larger purpose of our life and what will lead us to fulfillment.

Astrology is not a substitute for living, making choices or accepting consequences. It is useless to avoid life experience by seeking refuge in a belief system. Having said this, you must understand to what extent are you living life fully or would you rather be a spectator of your life or victim. by not accepting the points of challenge and decisions that come along, You can block any growth experience possible.

By knowing our personal cycles of change and transition, we can learn to embrace times of challenge rather than be blindsided. We can keep our cool when everyone else is losing theirs, if we understand what is happening to us and know it is for our highest good! Sometimes we just need to be quiet and show up, other times quantum leaps in understanding are required which take huge effort on our part to affect a change within us. Do you really think any of this could be random?

Knowing astrology may not make some choices easier, but it can help us understand what’s ending and beginning as well as what is working for our highest good or not and make some sense of the how’s, where’s and why’s of our life and it’s cycles. It’s your life and your choices!

Pluto's Energy

2009-06-30T13:50:00.001-07:00

Credit: NASA

Today's blog is in response to a call for help from a client with Pluto hitting the angles in their chart. This subject is too extensive to go into here, but we will talk about Pluto's energy!

If transiting Pluto is touching any area of your chart this will be area specific to your chart, but the energy of Pluto is the same no matter what it touches and it always brings a purification challenge with it.

Reality - Pluto is all about Intense Reality, What is Real for YOU at your core and Purification. It ferrets out the Truth of you and what you are about! It blows through the fluff of deceit ours (to ourselves or others) and can reveal deceit from others. It reveals that which is hidden at the deepest core. It drops atom bombs on thinking that is no longer working or attitudes that need to be adjusted so they now resonate with you. It can cause emotional upheaval, when you don't know what is happening and even when you do. In the end, it's greatest gifts are purification, authenticity, love and deep emotional healing.

Pluto is in for the long haul and stays around for several years while it does it's job! It is a slow subtle shift and once that shift starts it is like dropping Coke in baking soda, you can't go back; especially not to the old baking soda mixture or anything that resembles the old you. It is no longer palatable. The vibration frequency of you is actually changing. It is physics.

There are people who resist this type of change and block it. It is our free will choice as humans how we respond to any given situation. Some of our patterning is learned and some is being learned or repatterned by our diligent hard work to better ourselves. Yet the choice to resist this type of change can bring a huge amount of grief to any person. For example, look at what happened to Nixon as Pluto hit his MC (Midheaven) and went through his 10th house. This is the house of public recognition, your career, how the world views you as a public figure. He thought he was above the law and invincible, but Pluto will bring you down every time you are doing things that aren't for your highest good. It brought him to his knees. I can give you example after example of this.

Pluto is about destroying and being reborn in the ashes like the Phoenix which is one of it's symbols or the Deadly Scorpion that can sting you and you don't see it coming! On the highest level of expression, the DOVE, it is pure love.

It is best to not resist this energy, but work with releasing that which needs to be released - bless and release. Then allow yourself to be still and lead by the subtle energy of Divine Mother, which Pluto is an expression of at the highest level, PURE LOVE. This will bring you the most JOY you have ever imagined! You are then leading a life of a more authentic you and doing your life's work and going where you resonate. In this state, we offer more to everyone around us and help this world become a better place!

Pluto transits are wonderful times to delve deep into one's psyche and psychotherapy, so you may work with this energy to KNOW THYSELF and what you need to set you free from the bonds of family patterning and anything else that is keeping you from your dreams and being YOU!

Dog & Pony Show

2009-06-26T23:25:00.000-07:00

I clearly see how I have allowed myself to be a part of a Dog and Pony Show and how I helped the show go on. I felt relieved, the light came on, then such a feeling of joy and empowerment to realize I don’t have to participate. What a freeing concept!

I had put a name, symbol to the life I have been living and I knew it had to end. Who in their right mind would live in a Dog and Pony Show? Once I can see something for what it is without the confusion of my own victim wounding, it makes it easier to start taking action.

“Dog and pony show was a colloquial term used in the United States in the late-19th and early-20th centuries to refer to small traveling circuses that toured through small towns and rural areas. The name derives from the typical use of performing dogs and ponies as the main attractions of the events. - Wikipedia

“Dog and pony show in relationship terms means one or both partner(s) has been programmed/trained to be a victim to play along with the other partner’s abuse, lies and deceit. Thus making a complete mockery of their marriage and lives. It makes everything look as if they are the perfect couple and have a wonderful life; when in fact they are bankrupt emotionally, psychically and physically.” – Gayle Powell

In order, to be all I can be, I must be done with this in my LIFE! It is distracting me from what I came here to do and like a weed, it needs to be yanked out, so only the beautiful flowers can GROW!

More to come -
How does this happen?

Emotional Crisis

2009-06-26T23:20:00.000-07:00

here are my thoughts for the day –

"There is one thorn in my side, I haven't been able to remove, yet. Today it is extremely painful! I am not quite sure why? The idea comes, because you are living with someone who thinks it is ok to emotionally abuse you and act dumb about it, even though they understand what they are doing. Ah, I say, this makes sense. How do I change this feeling? I hear, Focus on me and doing well for me. Be the best I can be. This is the key, don't focus on the pain - glow from the love and light I have to offer others and my creations and it will be all right. It is time to release the pain and move away from it into the light and love of who I am. It is time to reclaim me. It is time to be ok with being me again."

Uranus is opposing my moon today and the emotional crescendo has built to a point of bursting...which Uranian energy can have a way of doing and it would be quite a mess...worse than Ghostbusters slime.........so what do you do to combat this, turn to creativity and the full expression of me and serving others with discrimination..... Focus on me and all the good I have to offer myself and others and quit focusing on the horrible things that have happened for now....when the time is right it will all come out

Uranus is about awakening spiritually and seeing the bigger picture of how we are all connected and when we are doing well we help contribute to the good of all and the group, part of this is not allowing oneself to remain emotionally attached to people, groups or things which are no longer working for you. Go where you are resonating and embraced.

NO one can stop you from your dreams, unless you let them.

The positive use of this energy would be to release/integrate the emotional pain of the past into amazing creative expression, so I may continue to move into the future whole.
