New Moon in Leo on July 28th is all about love!

Not only do we have a New Moon in Leo, but the Sun has also entered the sign of Leo. The New Moon is an opportunity to turn over a new leaf. In Leo, we can examine our attitudes towards ourselves, and embrace and love all parts of ourselves. Yes, that means the good and the “shadow” part of ourselves that we may not always appreciate.  The Moon is also Trine Jupiter, which will uplift our spirits and give us hope that we can achieve our dreams. Jupiter reminds us that it is our birthright to THRIVE. So now is the time to pull out your vision boards and focus on your desires. Metaphysics teaches us that most of our desires have already manifested on other planes, and they are just waiting for us to remove our mental blocks so they can materialize in the physical.  Were you born with the Sun in Leo? I have noticed there are some Leo’s who roar like a lion and shine their gifts, while others are more timid and shy. Why the stark contrast? I teach that we choose an influence because it is either something we have already developed in past lives and wanted to build further upon it this time around, or it’s a new influence that we are integrating into ourselves. The newbies are the more shy folks so they need validation and love from others so they can build their confidence.  Barbara Sher recommends people share their wishes with others so that they may help them fulfill it. Email me what you’re currently wanting to manifest, and I may just have a tip to help you.

Astrology for November 2021

This month will be anything but quiet. The square aspects between Mars, Saturn and Uranus are upsetting the apple cart. 

Today we begin with a new moon in Scorpio, as we celebrate the Sun in Scorpio as well! This water sign allows us to probe the depths of our being to understand ourselves and the mystical world. We can use this energy by increasing our meditation and reflection time. 

Mercury, the planet of communication, makes a square to Pluto, which will be exact on November 2. These two planets want to get to the bottom of things, and get the truth out. We recently saw the release of the Pandora papers, information about Fauci doing inhumane research on beagles and orphans, and a 3 series piece about details on January 6 the media did not show (tuckercarlson.com). More doctors and scientists are revealing the side effects of the covid vaccine, and alternative cures. Investigative journalists can use these heightened energies to uncover more truths about the state of the world. Censorship battles will likely continue as people all over the world are fighting to express themselves. 

November 10-12 we have Mars in the sign of Scorpio making a square to Saturn in Aquarius. This is the most SIGNIFICANT event this month, causing tension, dangerous events, and anger. Saturn wants to keep the status quo structure while Mars wants to challenge it and tear it down. Saturn is like a wall, not wanting to budge, while Mars is a bull trying to destroy it. This will cause major frustration. We see this playing out as workers are demanding and end to mandates, and the government (a Saturnian structure) is not budging. Imagine Mars is rebellious teenager fighting with his parents (represented by Saturn) over a curfew. Anyone who has had teens knows this is not a peaceful event! In order to deal with the frustrations in your own life, exercise is recommended, as well as any other activities that provide you an outlet for expression. 

Transiting Mars in Scorpio also opposes the planet Uranus in Taurus, coming to a head November 13-18th. This will result in an aggressive drive for change. Limitations will be pushed to the max until they eventually dissolve. We could potentially see the end of mandates in certain states and large companies. Uranus doesn’t like to be constrained, and coupled with Mars that doesn’t want to be controlled, we have a huge opportunity to break free of restrictive government policies. It’s a time to look at what is suffocating us in our personal lives, and begin to remove the shackles. 

We have a lunar eclipse in Taurus on November 19th. A lunar eclipse signals the ending of something. We can look on our personal astrology chart to notice where Taurus falls, which will indicate where we can tie up loose ends, and bring closure to some aspect of our life. Taurus represents money, land, food, and of course our bodies. Does this mean an end to the dollar, or possibly an end to the supply chain problem? Will regenerative agriculture become the norm? Time will tell. 

We end the month with the Sun moving into Sagittarius making a conjunction to Mercury. We know Sagittarius loves to talk and express, so get ready for some lively conversation. We must use our perception to know when authorities or other  people are exaggerating, something this sign is prone to do. We can expect more truth telling, more optimism, and an opportunity to explore our spiritual roots.

The benefits of Iodine 

An often overlooked supplement, Iodine is something you may want to keep in your home this winter. It helps to ensure proper thyroid function and brain development. And it can help your body detox flouride, because iodine displaces fluoride from cell receptors and flushes the fluoride out of the body in urine. We all most likely hav some fluoride built up in our system since most city water contains toxic fluoride, as well as toothpaste, lettuce, commercial bread, and of course swimming pools and hot tubs. 

Foods rich in iodine include Seaweed (it contains about 232 micrograms (mcg) per serving)

• Cod. In general, seafood is a good source of iodine. …
• Halibut. Halibut is another seafood high in iodine. …
• Pollock, Crab, strawberries, navy beans, cranberries, yogurt, potatoes, Scallops, Squid,Tuna.

The theme for 2021: The Old vs. the New 

Saturn Square Uranus: The old traditions are squaring off with the new – Uranus. These 2 planets will form a square several times this year. All year the undertone is a battle between the structures that exist (Saturn) and new ideas. 

Uranus lets us know what is outdated, and limiting us. We all may feel a part of our lives that needs to be updated, a desire to break free from limiting thoughts that keep us from what we desire. It’s time to take inventory and release attitudes, false beliefs and activities that no longer serve our highest good. It’s like a card game, where eventually you have to discard a card that no longer serves your hand and choose another one that may advance you in the game of life. 

Meanwhile, Saturn prefers to keep the status quo going. It works hard to erect system, and prefers to keep them intact. While these two planets square off it is an interesting fight as one tries to change the world and the other tries to avoid it. We can see evidence of this happening in the world around us. Uranus is fine with chaos, while Saturn has difficulty with unpredictability. Where do you fall on the spectrum with your comfort level between chaos and predictability? Your answer will shed light on how well you are dealing with the present time. 

On the positive side, Saturn can help us bring into reality the flashes of insight and revolutionary ideas that Uranus brings us. What “outside the box” ideas are percolating within you that you have not paid attention to? We can call upon the discipline of Saturn to help us get moving to make these ideas a reality. 

We can look back in time to see what occurred when Saturn and Uranus came together in a conjunction: 

1988-1989: The Berlin Wall came crashing down, democratic protests in China, end of a dictator in Romania an democratic elections in Poland. 

For the remainder of the year we can expect people to continue to rebel agains tyranny and repressive systems since Uranus despises having freedom taken away. Meanwhile, Saturn will try and squash every rebellion in its’ desire to maintain the status quo.  What systems do you feel are not working in your life? When you have the answer, this quote by Buckminster Fuller may help you know how to resolve it, “You never change things by fighting against the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.” 

Quotes to Ponder 

I was struck by this quote by Dinos Christianopoulos, “They thought they could bury us, but  they didn’t know we were seeds.” 

What does this quote spark in you? I thought of all the subconscious thoughts that I have suppressed over many lifetimes. It also reminds me of all the people who have been censored over the past few years. The good news is that Truth has a way of bubbling to the surface. Confucius “Three things cannot long be hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”

George Orwell quote “In a time of universal deceit – telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” 

So many people compare what is happening today to George Orwell’s book “1984.” Perhaps we can all go commit a revolutionary act today!

As Jupiter and Saturn move into the sign of Aquarius

At the end of this month both Saturn and Jupiter will leave the sign of Capricorn and enter Aquarius. Saturn makes the move on the 17th, followed by Jupiter on the 19th. The shift will be from upholding the status quo (Capricorn) to promoting the Truth (Aquarius). The phrase for Aquarius is “I KNOW.” The goal of this influence is to know, through direct experience, what the truth is. Aquarius believes in self- responsibility, and removing barriers to Truth. Aquarius prefers to learn how something is done, and they do not adhere to blind faith.  What might this look like in society? We will probably see the explosion of schools and advances in methods of learning. When someone hears something on the news, they will be more inclined to investigate the accuracy on their own, rather than relying on “fact checkers.” Journalism may return to truthful reporting, and new alternative news sources will appear that are subscriber supported rather than corporate sponsored.  Technology will continue to grow, and we will be faced with how to deal with artificial intelligence, and other forms of tech surveillance. Technologies such as “free energy” will also explode, upsetting the status quo of oil, gas and electric companies. Technologies such as these will no longer be able to be repressed. Likewise, healing therapies such as the Rife Machine will also be more common and accessible.  Aquarius is noble in the sense that it doesn’t associate as much with the ego as its’ opposite sign Leo does. Hence, we may find more leaders thinking of the group, rather than individual selfish needs.

December 21st, Jupiter will conjunct (touch) Saturn. This happens only every 20 years, and will usher in a NEW ERA. The Aquarian air influence will cause disruption in the Establishment. Old forms (Saturn) will die off as new opportunities that are more spiritually aligned (Jupiter) will be available.  Some say this is the final shift between the AGE OF PISCES to the AGE OF AQUARIUS. In a nutshell, it is the movement from Believing to Knowing based on direct experience.  JANUARY 17 and and February 17th Jupiter and Saturn will square Uranus. This will cause major shifts in our societal structures.

Have you seen the Documentary “The SOCIAL DILEMMA”

If you think you are in control of your own mind, you might be surprised to learn how much TECHNOLOGY is controlling you! The Social Dilemma is a compilation of interviews with former employees of the big tech firms such as Google, Facebook, Pinterest, Youtube and Twitter. They share fascinating details on how we are being manipulated and surveilled. They point out that there is no PRODUCT that they produce, so in essence, we are the product. With the sign of Aquarius becoming so prominent in 2021, I think this documentary merits attention.   New technologies have been used in the Covid vaccine, and many doctors throughout the world have been giving dire warnings about the potential harm they can cause. Here is a link to Dr. Mercola’s fascinating article.

The good news is, no matter what is happening in the world in 2021, you have the power to create the life of your dreams. The key is Awareness! Whether you are looking to start a new career, forge deeper relationships, improve your health and finances, this workshop will give you the tools to make it happen. Learn the best direction to take in your life for the year 2021. Using the tools of Astrology and Numerology, presenter Kathryn Andries will teach participants about their planetary and numerological influences for the coming year. She will demonstrate how to apply this information to attain success in relationships, career, finances, health and more! In this hands on workshop, we will explore how the planetary and numerological changes will affect the world globally, as well as individually. Participants will learn how to erect a numerological chart and calculate their numbers for success. Participants will also be guided on how to interpret their personalized astrology chart for 2021.  LIVE CLASS January 23, 12:30-5 pm at THE LIGHT CENTER in Baldwin City, KS. Click here for details and registration.  ONLINE COURSE WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON LIVE CLASS, Sunday Feb. 7th in Stillwell, KS. SIGN UP AVAILABLE SOON.

In order to Thrive, we must be FREE!

We have taken action against CENSORSHIP. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you have either experienced censorship directly, or saw it happen to someone else. Our previous email provider, Mailchimp, sent out a warning letter that Natural Health information, and even Astrology, violates their community standards. (In case you are wondering why, they are partnered with  a CDC foundation.) My favorite alternative health newsletter, GreenMed Info had their entire email list locked for weeks by Mailchimp. So, we are being proactive and just switched to MailerLite. We hope this will allow us to continue to deliver great content without the fear of being shut down. We also moved over to PARLER – competition for Facebook that promises NO censorship.

TODAY NOVEMBER 12, JUPITER CONJUNCTS PLUTO  This is the third and final conjunction for the year. When 2 planets conjunct they touch, which magnifies their power. Jupiter signifies expansion, spirituality, law, truth, and philosophy. Pluto represents our shadow, death and resurrection, and spiritual rebirth. Pluto is also power! We may see the expansion of any of the Jupiter aspects mentioned above.  It’s an opportunity to confront our shadow side and transform ourselves. How is this playing out in you personally? We can see many events happening in the world that relate to this. More lockdowns in Chicago, forced Covid vaccine mandates ready to be rolled out in England, and on and on.

Are you putting together the pieces of the puzzle?  As metaphysicians that is what we strive to do every day . We seek to go beyond the physical to understand why things are happening in our life. We use the Universal Laws of cause and effect and karma to gain more clarity. Then we delve into our subconscious mind to see what thoughts have been lurking there. I liken this to putting the pieces of a puzzle together to understand all the conditions of my life, from birth until now.  The world situation is now urgently calling us to put the pieces of the puzzle together. The majority of people I talk to recognize that things are not as they seem. They know the media is lying to them daily and everyone seems to have a different opinion. Here are some things you may find beneficial in putting together the pieces of the puzzle:   1. USE REASONING: This requires using the mental faculties of memory, attention, and imagination.  2.  DEVELOP INTUITION  3.  KNOW YOUR TRIGGERS. If a particular person or situation triggers you into an emotional tailspin, you won’t be able to reason, or use your intuition.  4. GET A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. This can be done by tuning into alternative media outlets, and talking with people from foreign countries. We all have filters based on our upbringing, and so speaking with people who have grown up in different parts of the world can be very eye opening! This past week I have had long talks with friends from Cuba, Russia and Spain about the world situation. It was fascinating that they all could see the deeper plan behind censorship, lockdowns, and all the other strategies being rolled out before us.

Authorities have closed parks and beaches, the perfect thing to make us healthy. The Sun gives us vitamin D, which is very important for immunity. The negative ions from the water help fight depression, which many are experiencing  due to the situation.  2. Why is an ex-software developer dictating public health policy? And why does he get more air time while Dr. Erickson from California is censored? 3. Why is the head of the World Health Organization not a doctor? 4. In Michigan only essential businesses are open. Why are liquor stores and places to buy lottery tickets open?  5.  In Michigan elective health procedures have been put on hold. However, you can get an abortion, which is especially odd at a time when the leaders in charge are taking extreme measure to save lives.  6.  Rather than using the drug chloroquine that has been used for 70+ years to help patients with Covid, authorities think it’s safer to fast track an RNA messenger vaccine, one of the most dangerous types, bypass animal testing, and go straight to human trials.  7.  Why can stores like Walmart and Home Depot stay open, while smaller stores that sell similar items must remain closed? 8.  Authorities say we are in this together, and we need to support one another. Then they post telephone numbers on the news to call in and report if your neighbors are breaking the quarantine.  9.  The one most important thing we can do to protect ourselves from a virus is not mentioned by authorities in the field- Support your immune system -with things like elderberry, vitamin C, and all the other wonderful herbs and nutrients available.  10.  Science grows and expands when we openly debate topics. Doctors and scientists from around the world are currently being censored.  Hum … 11. Healthy people are required to wear masks in certain states. This results is less oxygen coming into the body, which lowers your immune response. All breathworkers know that. Since some germs may still get through most masks, this creates a breeding ground for the germs that get trapped behind the mask.  12. There are approximately 380 trillion viruses, and researchers have found one, COVID 19, that they tell us 95% of people will get over with little or no symptoms.  But that  is scary enough to shut down the entire world. We can tackle the other 379 billion viruses later. The current strategy is to find a way to make people immune to it. Given the fact that we are here today because we have learned to coexist with microbes, should we not learn to cooperate with them? After all, the superbugs that exist today are an example of how smart these little buggers are. We tried to kill them, but they  survived.  13.  There are 40 trillion bacterial cells, and only 30 human cells. Clearly they outnumber us and they haven’t killed us yet, probably because we need them to survive. Should we be afraid of them too? 14.  My relative in Michigan was excited to have new cable tv installed. The cable guy came and spent about 45 minutes checking things out and told her it would take him another hour to install it. The current guidelines said they couldn’t do appointments over an hour so she didn’t get her cable installed.  I guess I missed the study that showed that the virus becomes dangerous at 61 minutes.  15.  Why don’t our supposed top health authorities know the difference between an infection and a disease? They use these words interchangeably as if they were the same.  16. My friend from Michigan was excited to do some house decorating and decided she would change the paint in her bedroom. She went to Home Depot and could buy anything she wanted in the store – EXCEPT PAINT. The aisle was blocked off. The store employees couldn’t explain why they couldn’t sell paint either. So my friend went the next day to Ace hardware and surprisingly they were allowed to sell PAINT!  17.  A friend of mind went to the dentist. After a through examination he told her she needed a crown on her tooth because it was ready to break. But, that was one procedure that the state guidelines prohibited. Maybe COVID lives deep in the teeth and it gets exposed  when you put on a Crown????? 18.  They tell us 95% of people will easily get over the virus with little or no symptoms, and 5% of the people who are elderly or immune compromised will have difficulty. Why then are we making a vaccine with dangerous side effects for the 95% of the population that is healthy? Wouldn’t it make more sense to figure out a way to boost the immune system for the 5% of the population that is unhealthy?  19.  Fauci said at a press conference that we should avoid herd immunity. What?? Herd immunity is what causes the virus to die out! In 1930, Dr. AW Hedrich published an observational study using measles data he had collected over 30 years. The author concluded that when 55% or more of children under 15 years of age had experienced natural measles, outbreaks generally stopped because those who were naturally immune interrupted the transmission of the virus. The original concept of “herd immunity” protection” was based on recovery from NATURAL infection. If none of these things made you scratch your head in wonder, perhaps this will. 20.  In business, you follow the advice of people with a proven track record. Neil Ferguson, from the Imperial College of London was chosen to make  the world  a model for the Corona virus. His model showed  2.2 million people in the U.S. would die. The U.S and other countries based their decisions to lock down on his modeling. His numbers have proven to be way off. He is the same person who did modeling for the Sars virus back in 2005,  and his numbers were way off!  To top it off, he just resigned. Apparently he was caught breaking the quarantine (which all occurred because of his projections), by allowing his married lover to come over to his home, while he was recovering from Covid. The man who thought the virus was so dangerous that it could kill 2.2 million people in the U.S. wasn’t scared to have a rendezvous vous with his lover, while he was recovering from Covid, which could possibly infect her and her husband. Hum…  He was asked repeatedly to show the code he used to get the numbers for his models. In addition, his code was not peer reviewed.  He refused for 6 weeks, until this week he resigned and finally released the code. However, the code he released was modified and updated. Scientists who looked at his code have said it was so bad it should be retracted completely. Before destroying economies throughout the world based on one man’s model, should leaders have demanded to see the code he used and insist it be peer reviewed?

Remember how a magician tricks us? Simply by diverting our attention!  If you want to explore what is going on behind the scenes of this crisis, I recommend watching this week’s episode of THE HIGHWIRE. Dr. Zach Bush will blow you away with his knowledge. (thehighwire.com) I will also be offering a CONNECTING THE  DOTS webinar on Wednesday morning 9:30 am CST. It is the same presentation as last Friday. No sign up required, and it’s free. Just click the link, or paste it into your browser. Here is the zoom link. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84269327385

January 2020 BLOG

ASTROLOGY 2020 

The zodiac sign in focus for this month, and all year, is Capricorn. This Earth sign is interested in productivity and structures that our world works within. Our society is governed by structures, from schools to hospitals, financial institutions, and of course governments. This is a period for us to examine them and decide what we need to do to fix them, or destroy them so something new can be created. 

Personally it is a period of self-development. It is a great time to examine our lives and make any course corrections. We can examine all areas of our lives, including health, business and relationships, and make improvements. It is no coincidence that people feel motivated to make New Years resolutions,  

Both Pluto and Saturn are in Capricorn, and will be conjunct on January 12th. Pluto is the planet of death and rebirth, so we can expect many structures to die, in order to new ones to emerge. 

Pluto is also about power, and so struggles will likely break out as the status quo, as represented by Saturn, attempts to hold on to what it has. Pluto is often disliked because it has been known to take away, or even destroy something that we may desire to have. Therefore, we must keep in mind that Pluto only destroys those things that no longer serve us. In the moment it is often difficult to see how something is standing in the way of our growth, so when Pluto is working in your life, allow yourself time to grieve what you have lost, and know that a deeper reason for the loss will be revealed to you. The mantra to deal with Plutonian forces is “let it go.” Remember, the universe is always working on your behalf. 

Those in power currently may face more scrutiny than ever before, and the “shadow” side of them, and others, may be obvious. There is the potential to expose the wrong doing of many people, as well as continued abuse of power by some. (Pluto is about power). 

Saturn rules time, so it’s an opportunity for us to look at how we use time. There may be a great focus on the paradox of time: the fact that time exists, and yet it is also an illusion. Obviously time is real for us in the world, and it helps us structure our world. We see the passing of day into night and realize that something is marking the change in the seasons, etc. We see time evident in the fact that we grow and change with the passing of time. However, from a metaphysical perspective, time isn’t real. From the quantum level, everything is happening simultaneously at once.

3 big dates this month: 

January 10th – Lunar eclipse in Cancer 

This one is a biggie! The current escalating crisis in the Middle East is no surprise when we look at the planets. We may feel the effects of this eclipse for 6 months, until June. The Sun is conjunct (touching) Mercury, planet of communication, so there will be a focus. However, since the Moon is opposing Saturn and Pluto, there could actually be much repression of free speech and a ton of propaganda imposed  by those in power. Governments will take more control, and tensions will be high. With the Moon opposing (opposite) Mercury, we may find it difficult to express our feelings, and since it also opposes Pluto, we will be dealing with mood swings and conflicts with authority. We will need to do everything in our power to stay positive and optimistic, since Saturn opposes the Moon as well. If you already deal with depression, you may feel it even deeper. 

Lunar eclipses signal endings and completion, so we can look within our family unit, which is connected to the sign of Cancer, and see what we need to complete. 

January 11th – Uranus goes direct: This planet went retrograde on August 12th. Retrograde means the planet slows down, and so the activities and energies related to this planet also slow down. Uranus rules technology, individuality, freedom, new ideas, and flashes of insight. Since August, any areas in your life that have felt stuck may now be freed up. We may all feel an urge for more freedom in our lives, especially any areas where we have felt boxed in. There will probably be some big global events around this date, as energy is suddenly freed up. Whether there is a positive or negative display of energy, we will have to wait and see. Since Uranus is transiting the sign of Taurus now, we may see activity in the financial markets, land, and/or food supply.

January 12th: Saturn conjuncts Pluto. (see above explanation). 

 

A HOLIDAY GHOST STORY 

I wanted to share with everyone this holiday event that is a good reminder that we are never alone. 

It was Christmas day and about 18 family had gathered at my mom’s house in Michigan. Everyone was talking, laughing and having a great time. Suddenly my niece noticed her 21 month old daughter was no where to be seen. We quickly began looking around for her, and noticed the door leading down to the basement was open. All the lights were out downstairs as she quickly descended the stairs. There in the middle of the dark room stood her daughter waving her hand. Her mom asked her who she was waving to, she replied in her limited vocabulary, “grandpa.” My father passed away about 9 years ago. The basement was his favorite “man cave” he would go to to work on boating projects. Since she was only 21 months old, she of course never met him. 

We all got chills up our spine with this event, realizing that even those family members that can’t be present with us physically for the holidays, may find a way to join in the festivities in other ways! 

HEALTHY TIP 

ADD A LITTLE CARDAMOM to you diet 

Cardamom is a sweet spice that is a great addition to hot chocolate, muffins and some Indian dishes. The easiest way to get it is ground up into powder and sold in the spice section. 

It has been known to help with gastrointestinal issues such as 

constipation, diarrhea, and reduce over acidity.

It can be used to prevent tooth decay and bad breath due to its ability to destroy bacteria with its antioxidant properties. 

This amazing spice  may help prevent diseases such as cancer due to its antioxidant capabilities. It is a heart healthy spice due to its ability to lower cholesterol.

October 2019 Astrology  Step. 23 the Sun entered Libra. Time to focus on peace, harmony, relationships. Seek balance and truth in all areas of your life.  October 3:  Pluto goes direct, still in the sign of Capricorn! This is significant since Pluto is a planet that helps us move forward and look to the future. Have you felt stuck? Pluto went retrograde last April, so you may have felt that plans and ideas have been stalled, but now things should loosen up and you can move forward with confidence.  Since Pluto rules Scorpio this is especially significant, as you may have felt more stuck than others.  Oct. 3- Mercury enters Scorpio – this will deepen our interactions and help us go beyond the superficial with others. It also will help us communicate with the people we need to connect with. Great aspect for metaphysical teaching!  Oct. 4 – Mars enters Libra – Mars energy will energize our relationships and spice up our love life. If any area of your life that has been stagnant or dull has the opportunity to become more interesting. People with a Libra Sun Sign will feel especially energized and ready to “fight” for what they believe in.  Oct. 7 – Sun squares Saturn – opportunity to get down to work! You will feel motivated to do those chores or tasks that you have been putting off. If you shirk your responsibilities you may find yourself limited and not able to do what you want. The solution? Do what is needed!  Oct. 7 – Mercury in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus – Expect the unexpected! Opportunities for enlightening conversations.  Oct. 8 – Venus enters Scorpio – Sizzling sexuality and opportunities to spice up your love life. It also is time to go deeper spiritually with your relationships.  Oct. 13 – Full Moon at 20 degrees Aries. This Full Moon will also oppose Mars and trines Jupiter. This will create explosive emotions. Mars may trigger relationships crises. You can respond or hide from this, but the only way to grow is to face the crises and allow it to transform you.  Oct. 14 – Mercury textiles Saturn – This is a great aspect for mental focus, learning, and reading. If you’ve had writers block this might be your time to get unblocked and down to work. If you have been neglecting paperwork, you may experience the consequences.  Oct. 15- Mercury trine Neptune – sit back, relax, meditate. This is a good day to “do” nothing, rather enjoy just “being.” You will be more sensitive to dreams and other psychic stimuli.  Oct. 21 – Venus trine Neptune – Enjoy time with loved ones.

DREAMTIME I have a common occurrence where I never sees faces or distinguishing characteristics of people in my dreams. I see familiar people, but they are all black – kind of like a shadow with some definition or body shape. If it’s someone familiar to me it’s the essence of that person – everything is “there” about them, but not the physical likeness of them.  The people are semi-transparent, but dark and indistinguishable. INTERPRETATION Your dreams reflect a lack of awareness (darkness) about yourself. You are aware you exist and have different ways of expressing, yet these are unclear to you. You would need to identify the characteristics of the people who are in the dream to understand these aspects of yourself. You can gain clarity through self-honesty and practices such as meditation. The dream also reveals you do not want to see everything about yourself.  Ask yourself what you are afraid of seeing, and then face it. Acceptance and love yourself as you are. DREAM I was lowered in my car to the bottom of the ocean by a man who said I needed to stay hidden there until he gave the all-clear for me to safely return. No explanation was offered as to what sort of danger I was in. In the car with me was a mixed-breed, brown dog that I did not recognize and a television. I sat in front watching the small TV and the dog sat in back. I was only mildly anxious about being in this situation whereas in waking life I have extreme claustrophobia. After awhile, my cat Cedric came floating down to the passenger window, wanting to come in. I could not let him in because we would all drown if I opened the door to let him in. I wished for him to please return to the surface before he drowned or was eaten by sharks, even though there were no sharks in sight.  INTERPRETATION This dream indicates you have a habitual tendency (dog) to hide behind your emotions (immersion in water). Fear causes you to want to hide from the world. When you escape into your own world of emotion, you use your imagination passively (watching TV), rather than actively to create something. You have another habit (cat) that you fear will bring you into a total emotional fog that would completely overwhelm you. (drowning). You are attached to this intense emotional habit as well. (fearing the cat would die). I would suggest you look at your fears and use your imagination to overcome them and actively create what you desire in life. Your emotions are there to help bring out your desires into the world, rather than as a place to hide.  If you would like a dream interpreted, send us an email to: info@intuitiveschool.com

WELCOME TO SUMMER!

The energies for JUNE

We add the personal year (3) to the month number for June (6th month).  So June is a 9 month. What does this mean? Its a month of completion. Service and charity oriented. Focus on the arts, compassion, humanity.  I am completing some house repairs and remodeling that were desperately needed. I had put them off because I was so busy and I felt once summer arrived I wanted to get these things done. 

Health Tip:  

Summer is a great time for cleansing and eating lighter. There are a lot of body cleanses at health food stores – so you may feel overwhelmed. How do you know which one to choose? I like to switch it up and choose a different cleanse each year. I don’t like to take a lot of pills, so I looked for one that was loose powder, or a tea. I found a total body cleanse called “Flor-Essence” which I loved. It comes with 3 packets of loose tea that you prepare and drink 2-3 times per day. It contains some powerful herbs such as Burdock root, Sheep sorrel, and Slippery Elm Bark. The tea doesn’t taste terrible so I actually enjoy drinking it.

Astrology: 

Happy Birthday Gemini

Gemini is an air sign, so Gemini’s live from the mind. Summer can be good because we have more time to socialize and talk with friends. So enjoy the parties and social events. However, in the negative, if you are a student, your mind may feel lost without school. So, if you are going to the breach, grab a book. Find other ways to keep your mind stimulated, For me it’s writing. My Moon is in Gemini, so I feel more secure and nurtured when I am learning something. I get bored just suntanning, so when I go the pool I bring along my notebook and I write. There are no major planets in Gemini, so it’s up to you to stimulate your own learning. 

Get ready for the Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 17th. The full moon is a time to set new intentions. The fire sign Sagittarius will ignite us with passion and zeal to set our sights high. So don’t be shy, think about what you really want and visualize it. In addition, Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, is conjunct the Moon, so we may be inclined to want to party and just have a good time. The only caution would be to not overdo it. Sagittarius loves to travel, so it can be a good time for a quick summer get away. Be generous and invite a friend along who may be alone. Again, be careful not to overspend on the trip, as Sagittarius can often get carried away. We will be heading out to Florida about this time for the REIGNITE YOUR LIGHT event. It’s a long drive, so we are envisioning many adventures and fun stops along the way! To understand the full impact of this Full Moon, look on your chart to see what house Sagittarius falls in, which will indicate the life area where you will want to focus your desires upon. For example, Sagittarius falls in my 8th house, which involves spiritual transformation. The event I am attending in Florida is all about transformation, so I just have to be willing to be open for change. 

February is a month that brings relationships to our attention. Although there is the superficial focus on romantic love with Valentines Day, we can go much deeper into our connections with others. I love to study relationships because they are a way we can delve deeper into understanding ourselves, and our “issues.” I want to discuss several ways we can use our relationships to enhance our growth. 

The “Pushing Our Buttons” game. In this scenario, we get upset or triggered by another person. We can remain in reaction mode and point the finger at the other person, or we can look within and see what this is stirring up within ourselves. The only reason we get triggered is because there is an issue within ourselves that is out of balance and needs healing. The process involves examining yourself to see how you might be similar to the other person. Most people don’t want to admit that they could have any similarities with the person that annoys them. I always remind people that even if you possess the same trait, the other person usually magnifies it by 100. In this way, you can’t avoid seeing it! For example, suppose person A bothers you because he is critical. You might also be critical but to a much lesser degree. 

Another possibility is that what person A does to others, you do to yourself. In the above example, Person A may be critical to other people, while you are critical towards yourself. When we see Person A criticizing other people, we are appalled, thinking we would never be so cruel to another person. Yet each time we look in the mirror, we focus on our imperfections, and tear ourselves down continually. 

When we recognize this, we see what a gift the other person is in our life. He or she has brought to our attention the need to heal this issue within ourselves. It is easy to deny, repress and avoid dealing with our own issues. However, the other aggravating person in our life that is reflecting to us what needs to be healed is a continual source of tension that seeks resolution. We can push that person away, but the universe has a clever way of bringing another person into our lives that may express the trait more intensely. I explain this method in depth in the book Soul Choices: Six Paths to Fulfilling Relationships.

Another interesting wake up call is when a person triggers a scenario from your past that needs healing. This takes a bit more contemplation to identify, but can be very powerful. Here is an example that I experienced. I was attending a year long metaphysical program at a school. I lived and studied at the college, which was far away from any family or friends. The 2 people who ran the school were extremely controlling and dictatorial. They abused their powerful position in many ways. It was a challenge to speak out about the abuse of power that I saw because there would have been consequences for me personally. Since I had to live at this school, the people in charge could have made life very difficult for me. And, since I wanted to complete my studies, I basically had to keep my mouth shut. Every time I had to hold back my thoughts, it was torture! This situation triggered past life memories for me of being in situations where I witnessed abuse of power, yet for various reasons I could not speak out. This is a deep issue for me with many layers that I feel I am still healing and understanding. 

Relationships are our playground for personal growth, so have fun exploring the mirrors all around you. Accept whatever is reflected back to you as a gift from the universe. Once you learn the lesson the other person is showing you, magical things can happen. Since the universe works with the law of attraction, if a person is no longer teaching you anything, he or she may just magically disappear out of your life! If you would like to explore your relationship mirrors, join me for a Live class at Unity Temple in Kansas City on March 2nd.
