 The Milky Way from a Malibu Sea Cave
Image Credit & Copyright: Jack Fusco

 
Explanation: What’s happening outside this cave? Nothing unexpected – it’s just the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy passing by. As the Earth turns, the band of our Galaxy appears to rotate and shift along the horizon. The featured image was taken by a photographer who professes a passion for locating sea caves, and who found this spectacular grotto in Leo Carrillo State Park near Malibu, California, USA. After some planning, he timed this single shot image through the 10-meter high cave entrance to show the Milky Way far in the distance. In the foreground, several rocks about one meter across are visible. Visible in the background starscape are millions of stars including the relatively bright and orange Antares, situated just to the right of the image center.

Your Daily Planet Tracker: Venus in Leo, Now Until Jul 18, 2015

 

 

Planet Tracker

Venus in Leo

Now Until Jul 18, 2015

 

 

When Venus is in Leo, love shouts its name from the rooftops. There’s little subtlety about this combination, since the planet of relationship and beauty is passing through the sign of dramatic expression. Expect your romantic life to be a bit more colorful these days, regardless of your birth chart.

Leo, a fire sign, is about risk. So, Venus’ placement here is a reminder to take some chances with creativity and openings of the heart. Sure, it’s possible that you’ll go overboard and let your imagination turn a mild flirtation into the love affair of the century. But, that’s part of the fun of Venus in Leo.

We’re not here now to play it safe, to carefully monitor and control our feelings, but rather to recapture the hopefulness of childhood. This is a time when wounds may be set aside (at least partially), allowing us to let love flow without restriction or fear. Excesses are possible, even likely, but a truly open heart only leads to greater opportunities to share, connect and create.

Venus in Leo reminds us that we need to be adored now, not just simply liked or appreciated. Pride expands, which can, of course, lead to hurt feelings if one does not receive adequate recognition. Be generous in giving praise, while allowing others to show their appreciation of you, as well. The challenge here is to combine the willfulness of Leo with the responsiveness of Venus. Successful relationships are based on listening, something worth remembering at this time.

The dramatic expression of Venus in Leo can be readily seen through a collection of people who exemplify this combination. The wildly inventive Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi (“gaudy”) personifies the joyous creativity of Venus in Leo. Show biz icons Lauren Bacall, Bob Fosse, Barbara Walters and Tom Cruise are also part of this group.

Gestalt guru Fritz Perls was born with Venus in Leo, as were designers Joshua Logan and Pierre Cardin, author Jacqueline Susann, artist Andy Warhol, financier Michael Milken and magician David Copperfield.

Venus in Leo includes superstar performers Whitney Houston, Madonna, Michael Jackson and Paula Abdul. With Venus in Leo, Amy Fisher, Xaviera Hollander, John Holmes, Jessica Hahn and Pamela Anderson have achieved fame through sex. Yet, the higher side of Venus in Leo love is found in the charts of the Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa and Mary Baker Eddy.

Your Witches Rune for July 7th is The Scythe


Your Daily Witches Rune for Today

The Scythe

Sudden changes and endings. Making a final decision. Completing something. Walking away from something or someone. Danger.

Additional information about Today’s Witches Rune, The Scythe….

The Scythe

This symbol is very familiar to most of people, often associated with harvest and death. In the runes, it is no different. The Scythe is related to endings, sudden separations, final decisions, important changes and danger.

The appearance of this symbol show that there’s something in you life you need to bring to end now, before it snowballs into something worse. Usually, the decision that the Scythe forces you to make is one you’d rather escape from… it’s a painful and difficult choice. Even though you know (or feel) it’s for the best, you’ll mourn the fact that it has to happen.

Also, the Scythe is connected to sudden, swift changes that force you to alter completely your plans, strategies and sometimes the very way you see the world. The situation is no longer what it was, your modus operandi no longer works here. Your ideas no longer correspond to the reality. The information you have is no longer accurate, or useful. You need to strain those adaptation muscles and find a way to keep standing while the rug is pulled from under your feet.

Although this rune can represent physical danger, such as accidents or surgeries, many time it refers to sense of foreboding. Something just isn’t right… the fear of loss looms large. Trust these feeling and proceed with caution. This rune can also relate to actual death and all related to it: burials, graveyards, inheritances, heirlooms, legacies and things connected to your ancestry.

In relationship readings, the Scythe suggest caution too. It can represent sudden and irresistible attractions, the kind that inspire people to do crazy things. . Obviously, this rune also represent separations, divorce and conflicts, always leaving a sour aftertaste. The strong passion can quickly transform into strong resentment. In its most positive note, this rune can symbolize relationship that completely transform the people involved.

Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for July 7th is Fortune

Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for Today

Fortune



Fortune represents that aspect of life that is directed by forces and events we may not understand or even be aware of. In short, Fortune deals with chance—those occurrences that manage to alter even the most structured of lives, usurp man’s “best laid plans.” While the effects of Fortune are unpredictable, the outcome is always change; sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Our path through life is never a ride down a perfectly straight highway. Sometimes we may even experience hairpin turns or complete reversals of direction. Fortune is strong reminder that despite our plans, the Universe has its own agenda from which we cannot escape participation.

Daily I Ching Hexagram for July 7th is 34: Great Vigor

Hexagram of the Day

July 7th, 2015

____________________________________________

34: Great Vigor

hexagram09

Congratulations! There is strength and vigor in this situation — like a ram who has knocked down a fence to free himself from captivity. This points to a time when a powerful force comes into its own and achieves influence.

When a leader finally comes into power, his or her personal strength usually has peaked. Great strength is required in climbing to the mountaintop, but once at the summit, the support of others is needed to maintain that lofty position. A shift in attitude becomes necessary. Raw strength must be tempered by wisdom; to maintain power, a strong leader must learn to give it away, to share it with others. Only then will his or her position be secure, for she will not only be the possessor of power, but the source of it as well.

If you find yourself in a high or strong position, it is especially important to act responsibly and react with care. Your personal power must not be allowed to degenerate into raw force that rides roughshod over everything in its path. A strong sense of responsibility to the collective good of all is the key to the successful exercise of strength. By following what we intuitively know to be for the greater good, we avoid reckless abuses of power that in the end undermine the source of our strength. Arrogance always contains the seeds of its own undoing.

Your Daily Rune for July 7th is Berkano

bw-berkano

bw-berkanoYour Rune For Today
Berkano

Berkano is the Rune of birth and rebirth. This may symbolize a time when you are capable of great personal growth. Love may be in the air as well.

Additional information about Today’s Rune, Berkano

 

berkana : birch

 

Phonetic equivalent: b

 

DIVINATORY MEANINGS:
fertility, health, new beginnings, growth, conception, plenty, clearance

 

MAGICAL USES:
healing (especially infections), achieving conception, making a fresh start

 

ASSOCIATED MYTHS & DEITIES:
Frigg, Idunna

 

ANALYSIS:
The birch is fundamentally a symbol of fertility. There are numerous instances in European folk tradition where birch twigs are used to bring prosperity and encourage conception. They were fixed above a sweetheart’s door on May Day in Cheshire, England, and were placed in stables and houses to promote fertility. On the continent, young men, women and cattle were struck with birch twigs for this same purpose, and young boys would be sent out to “beat the bounds of the parish” with branches of birch to ensure prosperity in the coming year. Witches were said to ride broomsticks made from birch, an image which probably originated with fertility rituals where dancers would ‘ride’ brooms through the fields, the height of their jumping indicating how high the grain should grow.

 

If teiwaz is the fundamental male mystery, then berkana certainly belongs to the women, for it represents the path of the mother, the healer and the midwife, bringing new life after death just as the birch puts out the first leaves after winter. While Tyr’s wound is acquired through his encounter with death, berkana’s wound is that of menstruation, and her ordeal is that of childbirth. The birch is abundant and all providing, and heals through nourishment, cleansing and empathy.

Your Daily Tarot Card for July 7th is The Lovers

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card

The Lovers



The Lovers indicates both the most powerful of unions and the most of challenging conflicts humans must face. On one side The Lovers’ embodies love and union on a cosmic scale—a love so strong, so inherently good that it actually makes the lovers better, more than they really are. All of the elements are there for the perfect union. The Lovers represent all powerful unions in general, and the elements that create/sustain them. The problem The Lovers face is temptation and the decision to act morally or abandon their ethics to take advantage of other opportunities that would be defined as transgressions.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, July 8th

 

Aries 

Aries Horoscope
Aries

This is a good time for creative work or active down time, dear Aries! Your intuition is super powerful now with Mars, your ruler, connecting healthily with Neptune. If you are able to approach the day in a freeform way, all the better, as your hunches seem to be accurate and the best way to follow your instincts is to allow for some freedom of movement. You might want to work on domestic matters or long-term projects, and certainly you can feel inspired by a dream of the future on this level. Motivation to work hard for a more idyllic home life or future is strong today.

Taurus

Taurus

You can be feeling quite inspired about learning, your personal interests, or communications projects today, dear Taurus. Taking action or pursuing a dream can leave you feeling stronger and filled with purpose. Friends or networks can be inspiring as well, providing fuel for your motivation to reach out and connect or to pursue something you’re truly interested in. You could be feeling good about supporting others, particularly a sibling or friend/acquaintance, or feeling an intuitive bond or connection with someone. You are both enthusiastic and sensitive, and this endears you to others. Working with or supporting someone can be beneficial now.

Gemini

Gemini

Today is strong for all things practical, as you can quite effectively intuit your next move, dear Gemini, and lay the groundwork for important projects and endeavors. Energy is strong, but only if you feel inspired, which may very well be the case today! Channel your energies into something truly worth pursuing. You have an exceptional sense of what is truly valuable to you, and also of your own capabilities, making it a strong day for being drawn to things you may need and for unusual but fabulous ideas for your future. Money sense is good right now.

Cancer

Cancer

You’ll be communicating more directly in the coming weeks with Mercury now in your sign, dear Cancer, and others are bound to appreciate the candor, even if they are a little surprised, as you often prefer to keep observations to yourself. Today is strong for intuition, as well as artistic endeavors. Good energy is also with you for educational and travel pursuits. It’s an excellent time for sharing a dream or vision with someone. Your intuition is very active and accurate now, and connections to someone special can be quite passionate.

Leo

Leo

There can be benefits coming through private conversations, the learning of a secret, or through observation, dear Leo. You are noticing things that you may have overlooked on another day, and there can be a finding the last puzzle piece moment experienced now. While it may be premature to present your ideas now, you can certainly work hard on them and find new inspiration or motivation to further your work. It’s a good day for attraction and magnetism, although it’s on the quiet, private side, such as a yet-developed relationship or crush. Take special note of the visions and impressions you have now – fantasy and flights of fancy can be more than simple escape today.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

Your physical drive and energy levels are high today, dear Virgo, and you have a strong desire (and ability) to take charge of your life. Instincts are working well, even if information is not completely available to you now. You might enjoy working by yourself rather than with others for the time being, so if you can set your own pace, take that opportunity. Today can be strong for friendships and partnerships, as a feeling of intuitive connection is likely. Slowing down today can actually help move you forward if it allows your intuition to kick in. Events that occur today can push you to deal with neglected areas of your life.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

Today is very strong for intuiting your current or next move, dear Libra, particularly related to work or health. You can have strong attractions today, and you may even feel quite enchanted with someone. You are tuning into the subtler side of your relationships and connections. Keep the connections with others alive today. There can be an interesting, supportive connection with a partner, and there can be a strongly intuitive rapport going on with others in one-on-one situations. There can also be support for your projects and work efforts now. The more creative your work today, the more productive you will be.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

Mars in your solar ninth house these days is strong for natural energy and assertiveness, dear Scorpio, as people and circumstances are less likely to get in the way of pursuing your desires and interests. Mercury entering this same sector today adds even more ease. Today, Mars in healthy relationship with Neptune in your creative and romantic sector boosts your personal appeal, heightens feelings and passions, inspires an interest in a new topic or subject, and boosts your faith in general. People around you may be willing to offer you a helping hand, and attractions are strong yet pleasant. Your tastes are exotic, and your understanding of people and concepts is enhanced in delightful ways today.

Sagittarius 

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

This may very well be a strong day for connecting on a deeper level with someone, dear Sagittarius. Imagination and fantasy figure strongly, but so does practicality. Emotions can be stirred now that demand some sort of action. Soon enough, you’re likely to discover what that is. You need to feel good about what you’re doing, or at the very least, a sense of purpose and higher meaning. You are seeing things beyond their surface, whether this is a person or situation. Activities that are behind the scenes or private can hold more appeal, and there can be more creative power to access today.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

Your ability to communicate in nonverbal ways or on an ethereal, subtle level is powerful today, dear Capricorn. As such, you have golden opportunities to enhance relationships or connect with others now. You are more interested in filling the needs and wants of other people today, and less inclined to focus on your own interests or pushing your own agenda. You may be contributing to a group effort or helping out a partner or friend today. Serving and supporting others may be deeply satisfying now. Imagination can be brought to your conversations and work.

Aquarius

Aquarius

Today is good for coming up with new ideas, particularly those along practical lines, Aquarius. It’s time for focusing on what truly matters to you. Finding new meaning in a project or endeavor is critical for your motivation levels now, and you’re very likely to find it today. Money-making ideas can be strong now. You are especially receptive to new ideas, and, perhaps more than anything, methods, as you want to take action and make changes. You’re not content to simply think about things. You need to add some color to your routines and imagination to your work. You might be interested in alternative healing methods.

Pisces

Pisces

You’ll quickly find that others around you can’t be prodded today, dear Pisces. There is a tendency to savor the moments, and this is something you can safely resign yourself to doing at some points today as well. In fact, it’s likely to be very beneficial. Today brings excellent energy for personal appeal and magnetism. You can be feeling strongly about an idea or ideal now and quite eager to share. Strong emotions tend to push you into a new direction, and the desire to take action builds. We can be attracted to mysterious things and people today, and many of you have this kind of appeal!

If You Were Born Today, July 7

happy-birthday-cake

If You Were Born Today, July 7

You are excellent at putting ideas into action and working hard for what you want in life. Recognition may at times make you feel uncomfortable or shy, but quiet recognition is a true motivator for you. You have a respectable, authoritative air about you. You can be a real worrier at times, but worry in healthy doses when achieved helps you to plan effectively. At times, you can be stubborn and a little controlling. Certainly, you often feel that one person is better than a group to get a job done. You are a builder and enjoy taking the lead, quietly. Famous people born today: Gustav Mahler, Ringo Starr, Pierre Cardin, Shelley Duvall, Michelle Kwan.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, July 7th

 

Aries 

Aries Horoscope
Aries

The day can be very busy on a mental level, dear Aries, but is not necessarily a time when people are acting from the heart. You might also be living in the mind more than usual, and you can be quite communicative and/or thoughtful. The Moon enters your sign shortly after midday, and you might feel like doing something entirely new. You can suddenly feel the need for more movement and interaction after a couple of days of preferring to be in the background. There is a somewhat competitive edge to the energy of the latter part of the day, but aim to work with it instead of against it by allowing competition or criticism to motivate you to improve, for best results. If there are financial or business-related blocks, use these to make refinements to plans. While it can feel like a one step forward, two steps back kind of energy, you are likely gaining more than you realize.

Taurus

Taurus

You might be thinking a lot today, dear Taurus, with money or personal possessions on your mind, as well as relationship matters. Even so, it’s best to weigh options rather than engage in major decision-making when it comes to these matters. Negotiations may not satisfy, as it can be difficult to reach genuine understandings. The Moon moves into your privacy sector shortly after noon, and this can turn your attention to behind the scenes. It can also bring on a stronger need for solitude or rest. Later today, there may be a concern that brings you down to reality or a minor but challenging predicament. With Mercury set to change signs as early as tomorrow afternoon, your interests are likely to change soon.

Gemini

Gemini

You can feel a great need to communicate, think, and live in the head today, dear Gemini. However, you could end up spending too much time on matters that are moot or on things that will not be a concern for long. Work concerns, vague health complaints, or a difficult decision may be part of the latter part of the day. However, friends and networking efforts can be comforting and inviting. Avoid over-thinking now. Personal interests and concerns are likely to change tomorrow, with Mercury entering your solar second house and turning your attention to business, development, and matters of finances and security.

Cancer

Cancer

There is a strong tendency to want to examine and make sense of matters from the past today, dear Cancer. If you haven’t finalized something, you could feel a little bit of pressure to do so now, but decisions shouldn’t be rushed. In fact, tomorrow your interests are likely to change, possibly dramatically. After spending an unusually long time in your privacy sector, Mercury will move into your sign tomorrow afternoon. You’ll begin to feel more confident about decisions and choices, you’ll be thinking in future, forward terms. Right now, focus on making adjustments rather than making bold moves. Avoid speaking too soon about something, as you may experience some remorse about it later on.

Leo

Leo

The first half of the day is likely quite busy, and is good for meeting people or gathering ideas or inspiration from friends or networking activities, dear Leo. The Moon moves into your adventure and learning sector shortly after midday, and it can feel easier to express yourself or to find fulfilment on an emotional level. Later today, you could be alerted to a need for improving or adjusting something you thought was already complete, or there could be vague disappointments or waning of motivation for something you’ve been working on/towards. Try not to overthink things. Concerns of today may dissolve away tomorrow.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

There can be some gains or good news experienced with career or with people in authority today, dear Virgo. However, later today there could be second thoughts that keep you from coming to a solid conclusion and might even nag at you enough to interfere with your enjoyment of the day, but only if you let them! Goals, ideas, decisions, and projects may suddenly feel overwhelming or could seem a little less “doable”. However, this is temporary, and you might simply need to change your plans or adjust time expectations. Don’t worry if something is stumping you – sometimes pausing gives you a chance to notice errors you may have overlooked otherwise.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

There is strong mental energy with you today, dear Libra. You can feel quite hopeful about the future. You might be analyzing or weighing the pros and cons of taking a trip, learning something new, or taking a course. You can feel strongly about a particular belief or opinion, and feel compelled to speak up. Later today, there could be some concerns or worries, possibly as the realities of costs or time constraints make themselves known. Watch for speaking about a matter prematurely, especially publicly.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

You could be quite thoughtful today, dear Scorpio, as you tend to go over recent events and analyze your feelings and relationships now. Conversations tend to be a little more detached now, as there is a tendency to live in our minds today. This can be helpful for addressing issues that we might typically not pursue, with a healthy level of objectivity. If thinking about things turns into ruminating, however, it may be better to let things go. There may be a situation later today that requires cutting your losses and moving forward, but fortunately, interests are likely to change tomorrow, and you can be feeling considerably more positive.

Sagittarius 

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

There can be a strong tendency to think about, clarify, and talk about your relationships today, dear Sagittarius. This can also be experienced as a tendency for a partner to want to talk things through with you. There is more objectivity now, but not necessarily as strong a connection with our hearts as our minds, so keep that in mind. Your instincts to wait out a certain decision are apt to be correct later today. Even though you may feel confident, others around you seem to be resistant and wary of new ideas. You typically don’t have a problem going your own way, but you also know that if you wait, moving forward will be easier with others’ support.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

There can be a lot of talk or thinking on matters of work and health today, dear Capricorn. It’s not especially easy to arrive at final conclusions or to achieve crystal clarity, so try not to overthink things, but do weigh pros and cons now. Interests are likely to shift tomorrow. The Moon moves into your sector of home and family shortly after midday, turning your attention to personal matters. Later today, communication may be blocked in some way, and you are less likely to share your ideas, possibly second-guessing them. Try to keep a healthy perspective. Sometimes you get so close to a situation that you worry far too much.

Aquarius

Aquarius

You may be thinking a lot about creative projects, children, or romantic relationships today, dear Aquarius, and you’re inclined to try to make sense of things, look for clear answers to problems, and entertain possibilities. You’re more inclined to think and process than follow your heart right now. Shortly after midday, the Moon moves into your communications zone, adding even more mental energy to the mix. Later today, however, it can be challenging satisfying your hunger for clear answers. Tomorrow, interests are likely to take a sharp turn, so don’t strain yourself with overthinking now.

Pisces

Pisces

You are inclined to think a lot about an issue today, dear Pisces, but may not be any better off for it by the end of the day. It may be better to have a conversation in your head rather than in person first, then express yourself, if it’s still a good idea, once you have considered all the possibilities. There can be a lot of focus on home and family or personal matters now, although your focus is shifting now. Later today, a difference of opinion may be frustrating, but is probably not worth your time and effort to discuss.

Birthing the New Earth Soul: Changes and New Beginnings in July 2015

Birthing the New Earth Soul: Changes and New Beginnings in July 2015

 

a message from Archangel Michael channeled by Celia Fenn

To view more of Celia’s insight, please visit her website, Starchild Global with CELIA FENN

 

Beloved Family of Light, July promises to be a month filled with changes, transitions and new beginnings. You will feel these changes and transitions deep in your own being, but you will also see many changes occurring on the outer or social levels. The New Earth Soul is birthing into manifestation on the Planet with the assistance of the Diamond Crystal children, and so a new society and a new way of being is also being birthed that will meet your deep desire to live at a higher level of consciousness and being.

To assist this process, the waves of TimeSpace energy in July will facilitate changes. There will be two Full Moons in July, the second one will be a “Blue Moon”, which as you know is a powerful force for bringing up deep issues that are submerged in the subconscious, both of the individual and the society. The Blue Moon itself will be on the 31st of July. The first Moon will be in Capricorn/Cancer, and with Pluto in Capricorn there are already powerful tides of transformation and change in activation. The second Moon will be in Aquarius/Leo, and will facilitate the New Earth energy into manifestation as you move towards the Lion’s Gate and the 8/8/8 on the 8th of August.

The month of July also brings you to the Planetary New Year on the 26th of July, and the “Day Out of Time”, on the 25th of July the day before. This is the moment that the Ancients understood that powerful Cosmic and Galactic cycles were completed and initiated in relation to the Earth. The Day Out of Time is that moment before the new cycles start, and you are encouraged to spend the day in playful creativity, allowing the old to end and the new to begin. Decide for yourself what you need to release and what you need to begin as a new cycle, as you enter into this new cycle of powerful New Beginnings. The 26th itself is a good time to really focus your intention and attention on what you would like to create, manifest and achieve in the new cycle of 2015/6.

Manifesting the New Earth Soul on Earth

Beloved Ones, this will be a wonderful moment to fully birth the New Earth Soul on Earth and within you! The tight grip of Economic control and hardship on the Earth is loosening, and people will begin to feel that they can breathe and move again. They will be able to focus energy on becoming what they would like to be and experiencing the absolute joy of life on a higher level of conscious awareness. This is life on the 4th, 5th and 6th Dimensions of Physical Existence, and not just in the trap of 3D Duality and struggle.

What does this mean for you, Beloved Ones? It means that you can transcend the economic prison of Time in 3D and begin to create and manifest your own timelines and TimeSpace projects. This is what it means to master the 4th Dimension. In this space you can use the flows of Time to your advantage rather than being trapped within them as most people are. You will learn to claim your own timelines rather than simply giving your time and space to the timelines of those in “control”.

Then, in the 5th Dimension, you will learn how to flow with the energy of Unity Consciousness and “Oneness”. This means that you will lose your fear of the “Collective” energies and you will learn to “surf” or ride the waves of consciousness that wash over the Planet as the Deep Consciousness of Gaia and all who live on her responds to the incoming Light Codes from the Cosmic Heart. Releasing these fears will assist you to move beyond “ascension symptoms” into a more grounded and peaceful place when the Earth is in the process of integrating these powerful incoming Light Codes.

The, as you learn how to master the 6th Dimension, you will fully activate all aspects of your creativity, and you will learn how to manifest through art, dance, song, poems, ceremonies, sacred space and many other forms of Soul Expression. Your Soul wants to sing and dance and create on the Earth, and the New Earth Soul will release this powerful creative energy that is activated by the Diamond Light Codes and will create a magnificent New Reality!

The Diamond New Earth Soul is a powerful being, whose inner light shines with Clarity, Integrity, Love, Joy and Compassion. In these waves of Change and Transition, you can work with the Diamond Light Codes to raise your frequency and reach into your deep Soul energies and birth a new Earth Being that expresses the wholeness, the Joy and the Vitality of who you really are on a deep level.

The Diamond Crystal Children are birthing in increasing numbers onto the Earth, to assist you to hold, manifest and create with these new levels of Earth Beings and Existence.

Beloved Ones, we ask you to FEEL this new energy stirring and moving within your Heart and Soul. It is not something that is outside of you, but is rather a deep longing to birth something new that arises in your Heart and is expressed by your Soul in the world. Follow your instincts, your inner voice, and your creativity! Follow the whispers and the promptings of your Soul as you birth a new way of being in the world that flows from your trust in the guidance of your Higher Self and the flow of Divine Wisdom in your life and on the Earth.

Yes, there may be pressures and tension all around you, but remember that the Diamond is formed through Time and Pressure within the Earth. So it is too that your Diamond Soul is forming and emerging from this pressure and being birthed into a new human form that is YOU! What a wonderful and joyous gift this is, and something that you can celebrate at this time!

The Global Economic Changes

Dear Family of Light, it is true that we have spoken of Economic changes, and that you have waited patiently for these. But we are happy to say that now is the time that you will begin to see real economic changes on the Earth. There are several activation points on the Earth where deep changes are occurring. The most important of these in in Greece, in the vicinity of the Andromeda Star Gate that is situated in the Aegean Sea between Greece and Turkey.

Much work has been done in these areas to allow for the flow of new energies and new ideas that are seeded from a higher level of Consciousness. In addition to the Diamond Light Codes that are transmitted through the Grid from the Great Central Sun, there are also Light Codes received from the Andromeda Galaxy that initiate or seed more creative and more harmonious ways of living, for this is the “gift” of the Andromeda Galaxy to Earth.

So, what you will see in this area is the beginning of the expression of the desires and will of the people, rather than a simple acceptance of what those in authority desire to impose. It is time for the voice and the creative will of all people to be considered in decisions. It is time for the Higher Consciousness and Will of Ascended Humanity to be expressed as a request for Abundance and Harmony for all living beings on Earth.

Beloved Ones, it is time for you to embrace the changes. Do not hold onto old ways of beings and habits of the third dimension. It is time to think beyond these ways and enter into a courageous expression of your New Earth Soul.

Embrace your inner wisdom, your power, your compassion and your creativity and Dream and Imagine that New Earth that is waiting to be created. Do not allow what others say to pull you into fear and anxiety. Do not let the Collective waves of distress become yours, but allow yourself to be a beacon of Light and Hope, and a role model for new ways of living. Trust what is and what is unseen, and know that you will be provided for in this great change and transition. Know that you are loved and supported at all times, and that you came to the Earth for this very reason, to be a part of these great changes!

Celebrate the opportunities that are given to you at this time, to full master the New Earth energies and to step forward as an empowered and creative Being of Light!

Reality-Shifting Surprises – July 2015

Reality-Shifting Surprises – July 2015

 

a message from Emmanuel Dagher

Beautiful Friend,

It’s an honor for me to connect with you in this way. On behalf of all humanity, thank you for choosing to be dedicated to a spiritual path that is quickly aligning the consciousness of the world with higher states of existence. It’s because of you that we are seeing things change so quickly!

The Summer Solstice of June 20/21, 2015 was monumental! It was almost as if a light switch had been turned on everywhere. There was an energetic sigh of relief that could be felt in the hearts of many.

Up until the recent Solstice, there was a great deal of overwhelm and anxiety among the collective. To many, it felt like a pressure cooker that was in need of a great release. Emotions were all over the place, and finding a sense of peace and grounding during the downpour of light we were receiving from the Sun and other celestial bodies felt distant, and fleeting.

The Summer Solstice doorway has been one that has and is helping many of us come back to our familiar self, though in a more refined way. The upgrades we’ve been showered with in the past several months are now in full integration mode.

At the beginning of July, the planets Venus and Jupiter appeared closer to one another than they have in a very long time. This is usually called a conjunction, and creates a powerful portal for extraordinary change to occur.

The Venus-Jupiter conjunction was able to redirect us back through divine inner guidance and synchronicity, toward the fulfillment of our deepest and most authentic desires.

Our path is being made fully clear; the energies are helping us know what direction we’d like to move in next. The Venus-Jupiter conjunction gave us a preview to the upcoming Venus retrograde of July 25 to September 6, 2015. Venus refines and restores the true values of life when it is in retrograde, so those six weeks will be an amazing time of beautiful expansion!

Confirmations of the Next Wave of Awakening

Back in April, a series of energetic upgrades and celestial alignments occurred that have created some of the most powerful waves of awakening we’ve ever experienced in this lifetime. It was one of those “Holy Moly” moments! But always remember, our Spirit does not give us more than it knows we can handle.

But can you imagine how those not aware of what’s going on energetically must have felt?

During an awakening cycle, every person on the planet has the opportunity to let go of old patterns that have run their course, and which may still be limiting them from expanding into a state of grace, flow, joy, and Universal abundance.

For some, lifetimes of old patterns are being released, while for others, baby steps are being taken. Whatever the size of clearings that take place, it’s all perfect.

We are now seeing concrete confirmation that the next wave of awakening is in full throttle. Whether it’s in our personal lives or on the world stage, everything is changing at the speed of lightning! Even us!

This next wave of awakening is showing up in our personal lives in a number of ways:

We are feeling a strong desire to align with all things that strengthen our connection to Spirit.

Deeply rooted memories and belief systems we’ve carried from the past are now resurfacing. (This happens whenever big clearings are underway.)

We are experiencing daily synchronicities and moments of déjà vu.

Our Inner Seeing/Feeling/Hearing and Knowing are laser sharp!

We are becoming highly aware/mindful of our surroundings.

We’re having lucid dreams that feel very real, almost as if we’re living in other worlds simultaneous to being in this one.

New ideas are blossoming that may impact the direction of our personal and professional lives.

We’re increasingly living out loud more, by expressing ourselves more fully, and no longer hiding who we are.

We’re building new soul friendships and connections, while releasing those that may not be aligned with the love and mutual support we desire.

We’re sometimes feeling a bit more moody and irritable than usual.

We’re experiencing vertigo and/or inner ear ringing.

We’re seeing a shift in our eating habits.

We have a desire to look up at the stars more often.

On the world stage, we’ve seen massive shifts occur in what it means for humanity to have respect for ALL people, no matter what their race, gender, sexual orientation, culture, or background might be.

Yes, we definitely have a ways to go yet. But big leaps have been made in how we treat one another. The collective is beginning to see that at our core, we are all the same.

More Surprises Ahead

In the coming months, many more empowering surprises will make their way into our lives and onto the world stage. Specifically, many of the seeds that are being planted now will come to fruition in October and November.

The key to receiving a surprise is to align with the flow of life. This just means that we allow ourselves to remain mentally, physically, and emotionally flexible.

The mind tends to gravitate towards structure, and can often be a bit more rigid in nature. It’s important to have a routine, but it’s also important to change things up often, to keep the mind, body, and emotions flexible and in a state of adapting to the natural flow of life.

Creating an Abundant Reality

When things change so quickly, many free-floating thought-forms start to make their rounds in the world. Because the mind isn’t very comfortable with so much change happening at once, many of these free-floating thoughts usually highlight ideas based on fear and belief in lack, which are then circulated among the collective. This is because those are the two energies the mind has been accustomed to running on, to keep itself feeling safe.

A free-floating thought-form is simply a learned pattern that circles around in the collective consciousness, and attaches itself to those who vibrate at a similar frequency.

As many of us know, lessons can be learned from patterns of lack, but those lessons usually happen in a challenging and uncomfortable way. I have a feeling that you, just like many who have been on a journey to personal healing and expansion, are ready to let go of the discomfort and challenges that go with learning lessons, especially those having to do with lack of abundance. The amazing thing about being in the energies we are in right now, is that we can learn our lessons quickly, and in an easier and more enjoyable way. This usually entails not overreacting to life’s occurrences, but rather living as the observer, where less judgment and more discernment is involved. We deserve to prosper, and experience life to its fullest! If you find your mind going into patterns of the expectation of lack, just be willing to observe what it does, instead of reacting to it. Then, find an opportunity to do something kind or generous for at least one person (preferably someone who is not very close to you, so that expectations are not created between you). You can do this at the local cafe, with a volunteer group, or wherever you’re able offer a kindness to someone.

Then watch how quickly the Universe begins to open up doors for you. The first pattern many people go to when they get into a lack mindset is, “Where can I cut back on some of my expenses, especially on the things I don’t really need?” Then the first things to go are the things that are probably nourishing them the most. This pattern only perpetuates more lack, rather than shifting it.

So when “lack” comes up, instead of letting go of something that nourishes us, let’s immediately find an opportunity to be of service in our local community through our time, gifts, and energy.

You’ll see how quickly the energy of lack will dissolve!

With all of that said, we are living in the time we’ve all been waiting for, the one our ancestors spoke of thousands of years ago.

A higher consciousness is kissing the mind and heart of everyone on the planet! Yes, even those who may appear to still be operating in the old energy of separation are being impacted by it in some way.

It will be just a matter of time before they too soften into the wave of awakening that is now sweeping the world.

Till next time,

Emmanuel

The Witches Magick for the 7th day of the Mead Moon – Phyllorhodomancy Spell

Phyllorhodomancy Spell

 

In ancient Greece, rose leaves were used for divination. This is called phyllorhodomancy.

After dark, go outside and pick a rose leaf. Thank the bush for the leaf. Now, take a few deep breaths to clear your mind and center your awareness. Think of a question regarding love that you have. Keep it simple. Focus your attention on the question for a couple of minutes. Next, slap the rose leaf on your hand by holding it in your power hand and slapping it onto the flat palm of your receiving hand firmly. A good clear sound is a positive “Yes” answer. A muffled sound is a “No” answer.

Lady A’s Spell of the Day for July 7th – The All-Purpose Payback Spell

The All-Purpose Payback Spell

 

Choose the All-Purpose Payback when you want to “do unto others as they did unto you.” It’s a quid pro quo that will directly return to your oppressor the harm he’s caused you. That’s why it uses a figurine: it represents your “cursee.” That’s also why you can’t use the All-Purpose Payback when you’re feeling put upon generally or when things aren’t working out, and “someone’s got to pay.” Have in mind someone or something specific whom you’re paying back. Have in mind as well what he did to you, and focus on sending it straight back to him.

You will need:

A white candle

A small saucepan

A long match (a fireplace match is good)

Wait until dark. Melt a candle in the saucepan over low heat.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and wait until the wax is cool enough to handle. Shape it into a rudimentary figurine, working quickly so that you’re done sculpting before the wax starts to harden.

Strike the match under the ends of the figurine, first the feet and then the head, and drip them into the saucepan. You don’t need to melt them much. As you do, slowly say your victim’s name three times.

Extinguish the match between the thumb and third finger of your left hand.

Dispose of what’s left of the figurine by burying it in the ground. Replace the soil, level it, and dispose of the wax in the saucepan by reheating it to melting and pouring it on top of the soil.

Your oppressor is now at your mercy just as you were once at his/her’s, and exactly the same way.
