How are you today? How has this week been going? Do you remember what we talked about on Monday? It may serve you to revisit Monday's post because as I was shuffling the cards for today's pull, the Hermit jumped out. Let's make some plans today. Make it a goal to write down your visions and wishes for your life. Doing something as small as writing down your ideas and plans sets intention. It's a spell in itself, and the more you focus on those goals and ideas, the higher your chance of staying the coarse and having positive results! As the Moon conjuncts Pluto today, revisit life lessons you've had over the past couple of weeks. Has anything happened to you that has shifted your perception of reality? Today is a big day of growth. Since the Hermit is here, it might be a day of growing from within. Not all of our achievements can be seen by outsiders. The Six of Swords comes up when we must make something new out of tools we've had for a long time. Just like Monday, what skills do you have already? How can they be applied to the new world dynamic that is in play? Many people are standing up and becoming new activists, and that is fearless and incredible. Not everyone has to do this. There are so many ways to play a positive roll in the introduction of light onto the planet. So many of you already have the skills you need, and the rest of you just need to listen to self. You will guide yourself to greatness. You are divine. Sort through the chaos of today. The day before a New Moon always has a surge of power! Be thoughtful and ready to set intentions for tomorrow.

I AM DIVINE. I HAVE SKILLS TO BE FEARLESS AND LOVING

Wednesday, January 25th, 2017

Wow! Our second Major Arcana card for the week. We are really pushing through something to this New Moon on Friday. Yesterday, I talked a little about drawing energy from Mars and focusing on your vision for your life. The Death card takes that focus to the next level. If you have been living with bad habits or people that don't respect you, it is time for that to come to an end. Do you remember a time in your life when you had lots of extra energy? What were you doing back then to contribute to that energy? I'll use myself as an example, at my best I drink 1 coffee in the morning, and 3-5 large containers of water throughout the day. I get home and dance, meditate, pull cards, and maaaaybe watch something. I like to have an hour before bed without screens, so the watching something is inconsistent. Those were my practices when I felt my best. I consumed very little sugary products and tons of water. Think that way. Think about habits you had that benefited your life, that made you feel strong and secure. That is what the Death card is all about today. Be realistic. With the Moon sextile Neptune, it will be easy to end up fantasizing a life style that is unattainable. The steps can be super small. It can be as simple as drinking more water, or just drinking less alcohol. Drugs and alcohol weaken our energy and make us more susceptible to negative energy attachments. I'm not saying go cold turkey or else, it's just something to consider when you think about balancing your lifestyle. The balance of one's life brings large amounts of energy. It will reduce the anxiety you may feel every time you need to call someone in the House of Representatives. So, cut some ties, shine some light, and kick butt today lovers!

I WILL NOT BE WEAKENED BY MY SURROUNDINGS AND CHOICES

Tuesday, Marsday, January 24th, 2017

My guides told me we were going to need 2 cards today, so here they are. Marsday, the day of the week ruled by Mars. Mars embodies fire, which is interesting considering I pulled two water cards. It is also the planet of yang energy and war. My favorite part about Mars, is its dynamic energy and its ability to illuminate our vision of what we want for our lives. It's a focusing energy that helps us rule out those things in our lives that are no longer serving us. This is great focus for us on a day where the moon will be mostly void. The energy weighs thick, like a dark misty morning when it feels impossible to wake. The Prince of Cups has a hard time figuring out what they need. They are constantly searching for something bigger and better. This card comes up when we need to make a choice. We need to stop looking past what we already have. It's time to focus in on the people that understand us the best. That's where the abundance card comes in. This card doesn't represent an abundance of material objects. The water suit, or Cups, revolves around our interpersonal relationships. It's a day for focusing in on our teams and allies. The ones we have now. No longing for people we miss, or times that once were. We must remain present, and do our best with what we have right now. If you start to feel overwhelmed with responsibilities today, that's ok. Reach out to someone that understands you. Someone that you know will answer your text/call/email/dm. Carry a rose quartz for extra love, or burn some dragon's blood for motivation. As a side note, keeping some dragon's blood, sage, or palo santo is an excellent idea these days. All of these have cleansing and protection properties. Keeping the energy in our homes pure and full of love is a must, especially when every day starts to feel like a battle. If you have no one to turn to today, I encourage you to go out and find like minds based on your ethics, instead of hobbies. It's important to have a team right now.

WITH EVERY DEEP BREATH I GET STRONGER

Monday, Moon-Day, January 23, 2017

 Today is the first step of many. The date being 1.23 is significant in numerology because a consecutive series of numbers is steps moving forward. Let's take these first steps as a group of light warriors, on an earth shifting into darkness. The Hermit shows up today with purpose. You could be having a hard time getting motivated today, due to weather and the astrological pull from the Moon square Neptune. That's ok. If you are able to stay in bed today, I say do it. We have gone through a lot over the past few days, and today could be perfect for regrouping. Be constructive in your laziness though. Take some time to meditate. Figure out where you stand in this battle. What are your strengths? What tools do you already have for defeating the darkness? Do you need to take a self defense class? Do you need to start exercising to gain more energy? Lay in bed with your eyes shut, and ask your guides what you need to do to prepare. This is going to be a long fight. We need to build up our strength so we don't burn out. Also, the Hermit isn't necessarily about pulling away from others. If you learn the most about yourself with a certain group, reach out to that group today. This is about becoming the master of yourself. Do what you need to do to gain that information. The three headed dog on this card is Cerberus. Cerberus is said to be a Grand-Marquis of hell, but he is also known for restoring lost dignities and honors and for teaching arts and sciences. In an age so focused on trade and business, we are loosing our free thinkers and artists. We need you! If you are local, you will remember the University of Maine canceling many of its philosophy, art, women's studies, and language classes. Those were heart-breaking decisions. If you have a passion in that area, maybe that's how you contribute. If you're really good at asking questions, we need you. If you have a long history in women's studies, we need you! Artists, we need you! Cerberus shows up to restore our love for learning and thinking. Formulate thoughts around free thinking and asking questions, if it helps. While Mercury is sextile Neptune, we can slow down our thoughts and really tune into what we need for ourselves. The person on this card is holding a lantern. That lantern lives in our core and begins to shine a gold light through our body. This is a good place to start if you want a new meditation practice. Let's all take some deep breaths, slow down, listen to ourselves, and strengthen up!

I AM A LIGHT BEAM IN A TUNNEL OF DARKNESS, AND NOTHING CAN STOP ME.

NEW MOON, SEPTEMBER FIRST, SOLAR ECLIPSE IN VIRGO

The New Moon is finally here, and it's a sight for sore eyes! We'll be feeling a rush of energy coming in for this new lunar month and a rush of LIGHT! The Moon is a card about shadows. It shows up when you were following a path that felt really nice and easy, and all of the sudden you realize it's much different than you thought. Have you ever taken a walk at sunset only to end up walking home in the darkness? Once the sun is gone a new light is shone upon the earth and everything looks different. The moon is a shadow-caster, and the shadows that appear at night can frighten you and make you want to walk home a new way. This card is here to show us we don't have anything to fear within the darkness, of ourselves or the world. Our light is much brighter. And the light the Sun and Neptune are shining right now enhance the rays. Each person has a shadow side and to love oneself or another, you must love that side as well. We all have a part of ourselves that we don't like, it's natural. Shine a light on that side of yourself. How can you love it? Are there changes that need to be made, or does your love have to come from acceptance? Think of all the power you gain by accepting a part of yourself you once hid. Accept it and grow! The Moon is about a choice. Do you choose to grow and walk into the darkness unafraid, knowing the light is within, or do you run? Do you want to take an easier way? Khepera, the scarab at the bottom of the card, represents protection against hard truths. You've had this for some time now, but the truth is out and it's time to face it. The choice you make will alter your path. You must decide how willing you are to walk amongst the shadows. This is the eighteenth card of the Major Arcana and in numerology reduces to nine. Nine is the culmination of many steps that have been taken on a path. You're almost at the end and you have a final choice or step to take before you can begin your next phase of enlightenment. This card aligns with the Hermit signifying that only you can make this decision. You won't find the answer from others. You can do it! Mercury and Jupiter are working together to bring forth knowledge and truth. The next two weeks are going to feel fast and exciting! Set your intentions tonight. Surround yourself with the scent of orange flower, bring in that stability and peace, or perhaps burn a vanilla candle to restore any energy that has been lost over the past couple of months. Bring in the color of the chakra that needs alignment, bring in all your Quartz and labradorite. Think about the questions of the future. How are you going to move forward? What do you want to come flooding into your life over the next month? What traits need to be absorbed to make everything happen for you? Move forward in strength and love.


I AM A BEING OF LIGHT THAT WORKS IN ONE WITH THE DARKNESS.

FULL MOON AUGUST, AQUARIUS 2016

Today and tomorrow are significant starts to the awakening of more people in this third dimension. For those of you who have been reading my blog, you know we have begun the second Renaissance. People all over our planet are experiencing an awakening, a walking into the light. The planets will align tomorrow in such a way that Neptune will bring us deeper into this awakening, and others will begin to see the light. The Sun is our guide on this journey over the next two weeks. We must align our light with our darkness, making us a stronger force and giving us a stronger voice. We are the leaders. Help others into the light. They will be confused. It's not up to us to consider ourselves an elite grouping of planetary citizens, but the teachers and guides. This full moon in Aquarius stirs up emotions and questions of our self worth. It's important to have compassion and patience with ourselves and each other. Instead of being quick to judgment, which will be easy, approach people with ease and comfort. The Four of Swords, the Lord of Rest from Strife, comes up when we've been through what feels like war. This card is Jupiter in Libra, a balance of our mind and creativity. It shows up at a time when we'll need to remember that balance in our lives that is so important. Especially when we're to be showing others the way. You may feel pulled in different directions over the next few weeks, but it can all be a positive motion. Love and relationships are getting a spike, creativity is booming, and the awakening is in full force. We're entering a time of rest from war. A sort of matriarchal period. Our inner flower is blossoming and the swords are not crossed. We're at a very influential time mentally. How you reflect on your past is going to effect what happens next in your future. This card is directly related to the fourth dimension, and that stores all of our thoughts and turns them into physical matter here in the third dimension. It's very important you remain mentally strong these next few weeks. If you relax too much now and don't work to improve the path you're on, your energy could become stagnant and you could end up in a tepid lake of resentment and lack. Focus on abundance and the goods of this life right now. It's certainly time to focus on forward progression. Give way to what is coming to you and let your cups overflow.

I AM A BEING OF LIGHT AND I MOVE FORWARD WITH GREAT BALANCE, WISDOM, AND KINDNESS FOR OTHERS.

NEW MOON IN LEO, AUGUST 2016

We are entering a month of significant change. You may recall me pulling a card to describe summer, the Sun.  Here we are now, in the month ruled by the Sun. So let's think about the celebration we felt at the beginning of summer and celebrate the chains we're going to break through all month long! The Magus, or Magician is the second card in the Major Arcana. Think of this as the second step you're taking toward true destiny. We're early in our journey of awakening, of the second Renaissance, but we're growing with great power. The magician is a person who can conjure any and all of their needs. This is us today. The new moon is a great time to focus on what you want to happen during the next lunar month. Make a list of what you want in your life, and since Leo is a fire sign, burn the list and bury the ashes. We are starting to figure out how to manipulate the fabric of the 3rd dimension and use it for our benefit. We are growing forward from being the naive Fool to having magick powers that we can use to break free from the old paradigms that hinder us rather than help us. It's always a good reminder, when gaining momentum and power that our ego will be growing as well. Staying humble during this magnificent growth will make life go a little more smooth with your peers. The figure on the card has put themselves on a pedestal and is conjuring occult symbols around them. It's going to be easy to get wrapped up in our own lives this month, but try to take a few steps back and be there for those who need your guidance and wisdom. The snakes above the Magus let us know that they have great powers that can be used for healing and helping, they just need to get off of their pedestal and pay attention to people who need them.  They have a place in destiny and the answers are within them. The Magus is all of us right now, and the planets are aligning to make it so. The Black Moon and Jupiter are pushing us to rectify anything that's keeping us from moving forward, and giving us the energy to make that happen!

I AM GIFTED WITH WISDOM AND POWER AND WILL USE MY TOOLS TO BRING LOVE, LIGHT, AND ABUNDANCE INTO MY LIFE, ALONG WITH THE LIVES OF MY LOVED ONES.
