What is traditionally known as the Temperance card is a reference to the Soul. Classically female, she is mixing up a blend of subtle energies for the evolution of the personality. One key to interpreting this card can be found in its title, a play on the process of tempering metals in a forge.
Metals must undergo extremes of temperature, folding and pounding, but the end product is infinitely superior to impure ore mined from the earth. In this image, the soul volunteers the ego for a cleansing and healing experience which may turn the personality inside-out, but which brings out the gold hidden within the heart. (This card is entitled “Art” in the Crowley deck.)
There can be a growing feeling of being on top of work and practical affairs moving forward, dear Aries, with the Sun warming your work and health sector reaching out to Ceres in your career sector. Ceres has just recently turned direct in this house of your solar chart, and Pluto will do the same in only a week. These influences can point to forward motion in a career-related matter or project. One-to-one relationships are also in strong focus today, and you’re looking to create a stronger sense of equality with a partner or special friend. A fortunate connection might be made now.
Taurus
Taurus
Issues of equality and fairness can emerge on the job now, and in some respects, in the coming weeks, dear Taurus. You could find yourself in the position of mediator. In your relationships, a sense of adventure is building, and you could find that you bond more deeply with a special person by sharing activities, or even ideas, beyond the routine or ordinary. There can be a growing sense of excitement about what you might do in the near future. You might feel “on the same page” with, or approval from, a lover or significant friend, particularly about creative visions, personal philosophies, and happiness goals.
Gemini
Gemini
Now or in the coming weeks, you may see an intimate relationship move forward, or support, financial or otherwise, coming through, dear Gemini. Today is strong for strength in family or in relationships with people who are “like family” to you as well. Exchanges in close relationships are helpful and rewarding. When it comes to romantic relationships, you can be more invested in fairness, harmony, and cooperation, and also more sensitive to imbalances if there are any. You may be working on a creative project or reviving an old hobby, and feeling empowered as you do. Today is strong for organizing or reorganizing an area of your life.
Cancer
Cancer
Faith in a relationship or partner can be increasing now, dear Cancer, and this can be strengthening. There can be a nice theme of support in primary relationships, and for some of you, a newfound interest or studies can be pleasantly absorbing. This is also a good time for renewed interest in an old subject or project, and for brushing up your knowledge. A partner may provide valuable feedback, and there is creativity and fertility in your exchanges now. You can be especially sensitive to imbalances in your home life now, whether they are about family dynamics or atmosphere and environment of the home. This is pronounced today, but is also a theme in coming weeks. Matters of comfort, security, and harmony in your domestic life are in strong focus.
Leo
Leo
Work projects and/or health or fitness programs can begin to move forward, dear Leo, and motivation to get back on track is increasing. Today is strong for feeling effective, engaged, and in control. When it comes to learning and communicating, you can be a little more sensitive to imbalances, people with pushy opinions, and lack of harmony with peers. However, this is a strong period for catching up with acquaintances or siblings, refreshing your knowledge of a subject, and rekindling an interest in topics or projects that you’ve set aside for whatever reason in the past. Research can bring nice rewards now, and you may stumble upon old books, files, materials, and other treasures from the past that deserve a second look.
Virgo
Virgo
Signs that a creative project, or romance for some of you, is moving forward can be with you now, dear Virgo. You might experience a renewed interest in a hobby or creative pursuit that leaves you feeling especially engaged and motivated. The need to create or to express yourself in your unique way can fill you with a stronger feeling of purpose. Today, and in many ways the coming weeks, you have a strong desire to take charge of money and business matters that you’ve let slide or didn’t have the time for. You are especially sensitive to imbalances now, and you may come to the conclusion that feeling on top of your practical affairs will improve your mood in general. This is a good time to go through past records and receipts and reorganize. You may discover hidden resources or find lost items in the process.
Libra
Libra
You could be feeling an increased desire to work on home projects or to bond with family now with Ceres direct in your solar fourth house, dear Libra, and in just a week’s time, Pluto moving direct here as well. Projects or endeavors on the domestic front that you may have lost some interest in or that stalled can now pick up steam again. A nesting urge is strong and growing. Today, you take more pride in your relationships but also your ability to take the lead. A desire to reinvent yourself in some way is with you, and this is only set to increase. You may be paying more attention to your manner, appearance, or image now and in the coming weeks. You can be especially sensitive to any hint that you are not valued for your individuality and who you are (rather than what you do).
Scorpio
Scorpio
This is a strong day for guiding and supporting friends, dear Scorpio, or for receiving a nice boost from others. Ideas generated now are particularly fertile and creative, but it’s the process of exchange that is most interesting to you now. Today and in the coming weeks, you could find that you’re rekindling an interest in old projects, topics, and mental interests, and this can really get you up in the morning, so to speak. Follow-through may be a question at the moment, simply because there is part of you that feels in limbo or at crossroads. In the next while, you may be especially productive in activities behind the scenes, and you may seek out some silence or time to yourself in order to do your work. The Moon is in your sign up until the last hour of the day, and emotions are heightened.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Business and money matters are beginning to move forward, dear Sagittarius, and you’re likely to be feeling more and more effective when it comes to practical affairs. You’re also being recognized for your usefulness, and this motivates you to guide, help, and support even further. There can be a building desire to nurture and grow a business, project, or even an idea. This will be even more apparent after Pluto’s direct station a week from now. Today, you can be especially invested in your friendships and sensitive to any power dynamics that seem to be off. This can continue on some level for several weeks, but you can turn this into a big positive by paying special attention to building peace and harmony with friends and associates. It’s a good time to follow up on your connections and reconnect with people from your past.
Capricorn
Capricorn
With Ceres in your sign now in direct motion, dear Capricorn, you might find that you’re more frequently attracting attention from others, and that you have increased personal presence. You are projecting an especially wise or nurturing quality, and others can be drawn to you looking for guidance or support. Next week, Pluto in your sign turns direct as well, reinforcing a feeling that you’re moving forward. You could be reconnecting with people from your past in the weeks ahead. Today, you are taking special pride in your ability to handle your responsibilities and obligations. You can be especially sensitive to imbalances of power with a boss, parent, or other authority figure, but fortunately, others are tending to recognize you as a leader.
Aquarius
Aquarius
You could be feeling a little sensitive today, finding it difficult to detach yourself from frustrating opinions expressed by others, dear Aquarius. However, you’re also in a strong position for learning and you are likely to be reconnecting with topics, ideas, and studies that you enjoyed in the past. This can be exciting and motivating. Going back over materials in order to strengthen your understanding of an area of interest, study, or work can be especially rewarding and effective now. You’ll find that your ability to recall and absorb information is strong in the weeks ahead. Intuition is strong today, serving you exceptionally well.
Pisces
Pisces
You are likely to feel increasing motivation to draw up plans for the future, share ideas with others, and connect with friends now and this week, dear Pisces, and this can lead to a stronger feeling of purpose and meaningfulness. Projects that have stalled or that were shelved can move forward or seem more doable now. Today is strong for research of virtually any kind, but it’s also a good day for your social life and close relationships. People in your life seem to be supportive, or at the very least, they give you space to do your own things.
You’re a very practical person, yet also attuned to spiritual values. You expect a lot from others, but even more from yourself. The tendency to be controlling should be watched, as well as the tendency to be overly controlled, guarded and self-contained. You are very hardworking and have amazing organizational skills. You are also extremely helpful to others and have a unique sense of humor. You could find much success in intellectual pursuits. You dream big dreams, and sometimes are quite discontented with everyday realities. Even so, you can be somewhat skeptical, simply because your mind is highly analytical. Famous people born today: Hank Williams, Anne Bancroft, Elvira, John Ritter, William Carlos Williams, Roddy McDowell, Kyle Chandler.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, September 17th
Aries
Aries
Mercury stations retrograde today and Jupiter opposes Neptune, dear Aries, and both influences can cast a fog over the day. Watch for mistakes made now that could be rather costly. Dream big, but wait for important launches or finishing touches. Saturn re-enters your solar ninth house today, where it will stay until December 2017. Recent pressures in your intimate relationships and financial life ease. You are entering a period in which you might be questioning some of your long-held beliefs or you might be discovering that you need to firm up your knowledge and skills. This is also a period of greater personal strength due to a stronger connection with reality, a firmer awareness of your priorities, and a better attitude towards meeting your responsibilities. Overall, your life should feel a little more stable. Because you have a more mature grasp of your own capabilities, you project a more responsible, perhaps serious, and self-assured personality to others, even if there are times when you feel a little insecure about your credentials. You may be an authority on a topic and your work/business can involve teaching and sharing your knowledge, which requires more dedication to learning.
Taurus
Taurus
Saturn re-enters the sign of Sagittarius today, dear Taurus, and while it did spend some time in Sagittarius earlier in the year, this time around, it’s there to stay, until December 2017. Fearless dealing with emotional issues can bring rewards during this cycle that asks you to better manage your life, particularly when it comes to financial and emotional dependencies. The goal is to bring these to a healthy or moderate level. This can be a time of learning what and who you truly value. Methods you’ve used to manage stress or people in your life may not be as effective now, or there could be a reshuffling of support systems for some of you. This is a good time for working on a plan to reduce debt and unhealthy dependencies. Today, avoid taking any promises made to heart. You may not have the whole story when it comes to a friendship or goal. Double check all facts and figures. Confusion tends to reign, particularly when it comes to transportation, work, and educational matters.
Gemini
Gemini
While work may have been on the demanding side recently, going forward, it’s likely to become less stressful, dear Gemini. Saturn re-enters the sign opposite yours, where it will transit until December 2017. This is a time for taking more responsibility for your relationships. At times during this cycle you could be experiencing the more unflattering side of others and of yourself through your relationships. You may be learning what you value in your relationships, and difficult areas that you may have glossed over in the past can now demand attention. Responsibilities to partners, the need to compromise, and the realities of the needs of others, become clear during this cycle. If you’re truly better off without a partnership at this time in your life, you’ll solidify that position. Today, with Mercury at a retrograde station and a Jupiter-Neptune aspect challenging you, it can be difficult to see things clearly just for now. While you’re likely to be pulled in many directions today, you’ll be better off if you can take some extra time for breaks. If you need to make a presentation, discuss something important, or win someone’s favor, wait for a day when everyone’s a little clearer and more receptive.
Cancer
Cancer
With Saturn moving into your work and health sector today and visiting there until December 2017, dear Cancer, you’ll be in the position, like it or not, to streamline and structure your daily routines. During this cycle, some of you could land a new position that requires more structure and effort or your existing work begins to demand the same. This is an excellent cycle in which to start new regimens to better your health and well-being, such as regular exercise or more structured and productive use of your time. Organizing your work space is appropriate, and so is re-organizing your daily schedule. In fact, you might be faced with life events that force you to restructure these things, or at least provide you with the motivation to get your act together. Don’t worry too much if your efforts are not yet obvious to others – the effort you exert now can bring great rewards down the road. Perhaps more importantly, you are learning to take better care of yourself, for yourself. Today, however, double check facts and second guess instructions. The day’s energies can be very confusing, and it can be difficult to read situations just for now with Jupiter in opposition to Neptune and Mercury at a retrograde station.
Leo
Leo
Confusion can surround conversations today, dear Leo, so try to avoid taking things said to heart and do your best to keep your wits about you. This is not a good time for making commitments. Saturn moves back into your solar fifth house today, this time for an uninterrupted transit lasting until December 2017. During this cycle, self-expression may not be quite as spontaneous as it typically is, largely because you are taking things a little more seriously. Try not to worry too much about performance to the point that you feel restricted, but do consider ways to bring more structure to your life. There is strong potential for the period ahead to be one of more meaningful and reliable relationships as well as creative productivity. With Saturn, the realist, moving through the house of creative power in your chart, you might initially feel limited by a seeming lack of internal “spark” or “spunk”, dear Leo. As the transit progresses, you will gain a stronger sense of what motivates you, and how to best express yourself creatively. How you entertain yourself, how you have fun, and issues surrounding how you manage your ego are now coming up for “inspection”.
Virgo
Virgo
Today’s Mercury station and Jupiter-Neptune opposition suggest you should make extra effort keeping your wits about you, dear Virgo, particularly with personal possessions and money. Try not to count on being understood just for now. Transportation, mechanics, and communications may be unreliable. Saturn re-enters your sector of home and family today, this time for the long haul – until December 2017. This is a time for firming up your home and family life. Any ongoing difficulties with family members may come to a head during this cycle, and it’s time for working on resolutions. Responsibilities to family and to maintaining your home might be increased. This is a time for building your sense of family, security, and comfort, and this can involve some soul-searching or lessons. Saturn’s transits are about strengthening weak areas of our lives, and your solar fourth house is about your foundations, both material and emotional.
Libra
Libra
You may be swinging from seeing what you want to see, to seeing things in a very negative light today, dear Libra, and neither scenario is realistic. Attempt to find a middle ground. Mercury’s retrograde station in your sign can confuse matters, particularly related to communication and transportation. Be conservative now and enjoy increased peace of mind. With Saturn re-entering your communications sector and transiting it until December 2017, you’ll be discovering which projects and personal interests are truly valuable and attempting to cut out the fluff. You might discover that it’s time to brush up your skills or give more structure to your daily life. During this cycle, you are likely to be more accountable for what you say and what you know, and you could feel some pressure to get things just right. Your interests are likely to change or your focus narrows a little. Some of you will be taking studies more seriously or turning a hobby or interest into a business. You’re leaving behind a cycle in which finances and self-worth were the testing grounds for Saturn, and ideally, weak spots were strengthened.
Scorpio
Scorpio
Saturn left your sign in December 2014 for almost six months before returning to it this summer, dear Scorpio, and today, this transit is complete, not to recur for almost thirty years. While your personality has strengthened as a result of this transit, you have also been quite serious, and now this energy is lifting. You’ve learned a lot about your ability to take care of yourself during this transit. Saturn now re-enters your solar second house, where it transited for some months earlier in the year. This is a time for strengthening weak areas related to money, security, and your own attitude towards earning. Getting organized and learning to accept and market your talents are themes in this next stage of your life, which lasts until December 2017. It’s time to be more conservative with your money, and feel more accomplished in so doing. Look for overlapping or unnecessary expenses and other redundancies, and aim to rid yourself of material clutter. Today, it can be difficult to see things clearly. Keep your wits about you and avoid making solid commitments just for now.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Confusing energies abound today, dear Sagittarius, and it’s best to save important decision making for a clearer time in the future. Your ruler, Jupiter, opposite Neptune this week can certainly turn your attention to ideals, goals, and spiritual needs that may be missing in your life. Even so, you are entering a cycle that turns your attention to issues of body and the material world. With Saturn back in your sign, this time for the long haul (until December 2017), it’s time to be firmer with yourself, but not too firm. Moderation is an important keyword for Saturn, and you’ll be learning this firsthand during this cycle. Areas where you’ve been excessive can catch up to you now. This is an important time of reassessments and adjustments, as well as recognition of your limits. It’s not a time to undersell yourself, but it is a period for redefining goals so that they are more realistic and doable. This is about becoming more responsible for your life rather than focusing on what you’ve done wrong.
Capricorn
Capricorn
There can be confusing signals today, dear Capricorn, with your ruler, Saturn, changing signs, a Mercury retrograde station, and a Jupiter-Neptune opposition. It’s not an ideal time for signing contracts, making important commitments, or important new endeavors, particularly related to communications and transportation. Saturn re-enters Sagittarius today, and will transit the sign uninterrupted this time around until December 2017. Saturn sign changes are particularly significant for you. During this cycle, you are likely to be more reflective and contemplative, and at times, you could be focusing a little too much on what you haven’t accomplished rather than what you can accomplish in the future. This is a time for learning about your limits and boundaries, and treating yourself better as a result. You’ll be finding ways to improve mental health. If you need to take more time to yourself, and you very likely do, get that extra rest or emotional space and try not to feel guilty about it.
Aquarius
Aquarius
With a Jupiter-Neptune aspect and a Mercury station clouding our thinking today, dear Aquarius, it’s best not to invest money, energy, or love into things that seem too good to be true. Reflect and dream, but save big moves and decisions for a clearer time. Today, Saturn re-enters your solar eleventh house. Saturn spent some months there earlier in the year, but now is completing its transit that lasts until December 2017. This also means that Saturn moves out of stressful aspect with your sign and out of your career and reputation sector, where it spent quite a bit of time in recent years. During this cycle, you are likely to take your social life a little more seriously. For some, goals and friendships can change, and you could find that you’re more interested in forming long-lasting ties. You might also be more selective with where you put your energies and time, and could possibly decide to cut back on the more frivolous activities in your life in order to focus on your priorities.
Pisces
Pisces
Saturn re-enters your performance and life-plan sector today, dear Pisces, and this time, it will move through this house of your solar chart uninterrupted, until December 2017. You may have had a taste of this energy in the first months of 2015. During this cycle, circumstances could demand more serious thought about your career and life direction. You are reaching a career peak of sorts over the next couple of years, and could be going through a process of self-evaluation in terms of where you stand professionally, your responsibilities, and outward signs of success. Some of you might be receiving recognition and career “rewards” at this time, while others might be feeling the weight of poor decisions made to date. There could be pressure to perform or to know your stuff now. A more realistic approach to achieving your dreams is your goal. Today, however, it can be difficult to see others in a realistic light, and others may not be seeing you clearly as well. Try not to lead others on in order to avoid hurt feelings, but keep in mind as well that today is not ideal for attempting to make clarifications with Mercury at its retrograde station.
Ready or not, here comes Mercury Retrograde! That’s right, the planet that rules communication, perception, and thought will enter its last retrograde phase of the year starting September 17, and will remain napping until October 9. This particular cycle will occur in the relationship-oriented sign of Libra. As a result, rethinking partnership themes and decisions connected to a “we” situation will likely dominate.
Aries Horoscope (March 21 – April 19)
For you Aries, it really is all about a re-evaluating a relationship during this Mercury Retrograde phase. Mercury will challenge you to second guess yourself in just about any scenario that has to do with you and your mate. Are you truly ready to commit to someone? Is this really the right person for you? Are you having second thoughts about a recent decision you and your partner made together? These are only a few of the many questions that are likely to come up now. Instead of searching for answers, do yourself a favor … keep asking the questions. Once Mercury turns direct you’ll find clarity to move forward.
Taurus Horoscope (April 20 – May 20)
As Mercury backtracks through your 6th House of Work, you might have a golden opportunity to modify a project that you feel needs a bit of polishing. If you put your nose to the grindstone and use your colleagues as sounding boards, you might find that someone on your team has a different perspective that could actually work better than the approach you’ve taken thus far. Be open to suggestions.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – June 20)
Matters of the heart will come up for review over the next few weeks, Gemini. On a typical day you’re the type who fully engages in one perspective in the morning only to change your mind by the evening. Now that Mercury is retrograde in your true love sector, making a decision about or with a lover could be extra challenging. Do what you do best and go with the flow. An ex might also reappear. Handle with care.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – July 22)
You might second guess something connected to your living situation over the next few weeks. Do you and your roommate really get along well enough to continue living together? Should you and your partner buy that dream house or renew the lease to your current apartment and keep saving? Another possibility is that you and your clan will have a family decision looming over you. It’ll be difficult to navigate since too many cooks will be in the kitchen. Do what you can to simplify.
Leo Horoscope (July 23 – Aug. 22)
This will not be your time to sign contracts, make important new decisions, or even to purchase a car or pricy electronic device. Sure, these are usual Mercury Retrograde rules, but in your case they will apply in an extra significant way. That’s because Mercury will backpedal through your 3rd House of Communication, adding an extra layer of confusion to your mindset. Use the time to work through those cobwebs inside your head so that after Mercury turns direct, you’ll trust your mind fully.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug, 23 – Sept. 22)
Mercury Retrograde in your 2nd House of Income and Possessions might be a great time to make a thorough assessment of your income against your expenses. What you find will likely make you want to revise your budget in a way that is more logical than ever before. If you share a major possession with a partner such as real estate, a piece of an art, or even a coin collection, you might have trouble deciding whether or not you should keep it or sell. Don’t commit either way until after Mercury turns direct.
Libra Horoscope (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
Congratulations Libra — you’ve won the jackpot of confusion! OK, that might not sound like a prize after all. Still, if you manage to work with Mercury Retrograde through your sign you might discover that the mental acrobatics of ups and downs put you in a place where you finally surrender to not knowing. Spend time in that space between clarity and confusion instead of running away from it. You’re likely to make a great mental breakthrough as a result.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
This will be a great time for you to meditate, practice mindfulness, or simply journal without any mental agenda. Every part of our bodies requires a bit of rest and relaxation at some point, and the brain is no exception. You might realize that you’re more than a little bit mentally exhausted and that you need a time-out from all the noise around you. Go within and give yourself permission to not have all the answers for once. It’ll make this retrograde phase feel like a mental vacation.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Don’t engage in messy conversations with friends over the next few weeks. You’re likely to feel misunderstood or even worse — second guess whether or not you and a pal are really intellectual equals anymore. Mercury Retrograde through your friendship sector isn’t a good time to make firm decisions about your social life, but it’s a great time to reconnect with old pals you haven’t seen in a while.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
A confusing decision related to your career is likely looming over your head like a dark cloud now that Mercury is retrograde in your 10th House of Profession. Instead of rushing to make any changes, allow your options to simmer over the next few weeks. If you have a vital conversation with someone in a high position scheduled, see if you can push it off until after October 9. If not, be patient and don’t expect firm outcomes or progress. Any delays will likely prove to be a blessing in disguise.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
You might not have the easiest time over the next few weeks if you’re trying to rush through learning material necessary to gain a license, certification, or advanced degree. If you’re preparing a thesis or other major intellectual project, this will be a great time to comb through your work and repair any holes you discover. Sure, it’ll feel like you took a giant step backwards but in the end you’ll be extremely proud of your work.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb. 19 – March 20)
It’s not always easy talking to your partner about financial matters. Now that Mercury is retrograde in your 8th House of Shared Resources, making decisions together about money could be extra frustrating. If you find that you’re in a major disagreement over how to allocate funds or whether or not to cash in an investment, step away from the discussion. Agree to disagree while you each make it a point to fully re-evaluate the other’s points. After October 9 you’ll find it much easier to meet each other halfway.

I am happy to be bringing the Vibe Report back at this time after a pause in which I have been clearing deep density and expanding and integrating the high vibrational frequencies that I have been writing about for years. The past several months have taken me on deep dives within my consciousness as I dealt with profound life changes, such as the Birthing into Spirit of my mother in July. I felt disconnected from my foundation, my past, as if I was suspended in mid-air, disoriented and at the same time uplifted. The essence of freedom is here. I do not need to re-attach myself to the past, but instead am flying in the flow of my life force energy as I continue to move into the mystery of life. From these depths I have brought forth images through painting and pastel drawing that contain a language of energy and illustrate my personal journey through these times.
Expansion and High Vibrational Frequencies
The information that I have been receiving when I open to the Vastness of Consciousness over the years is that our solar system has been traveling through increasingly high vibrational frequency zones for decades. The Universe is expanding, all the galaxies, solar systems – everything is expanding including us as we ride spaceship Earth through the Universe. As the high frequencies increase and become more refined, all that is within this energy also becomes lighter and more expanded. This is happening in our consciousness. Density cannot live within these higher vibrational frequencies. That is why we are seeing many structures that were built in density and rely on density (as in fear) to exist, coming apart at this time. This is affecting all energy bodies – spiritual (religion), mental (science), emotional (social) and physical (our bodies, the Earth).
It has come to my attention that there are beings who have been shielding us (Humanity – Earth) from receiving a full-on blast of these energies because many humans on Earth have been unable to awaken their Souls within their being and if we were to receive a full blast of the high frequencies too soon, it could shatter us. As it is, this clearing and integration process brings us to our knees as it expands our spiritual, emotional, mental and physical energy bodies.
What does Awakening our Souls mean?
Simply put it means to be who we truly are. To do that we must remember that we are Divine beings who carry the energy of Creator Source within us – we are the All That Is. The Life Force energy flows through all of life, not just on Earth but throughout the Universe. We each have a unique Soul vibration and as we receive these high frequencies and expand into our evolutionary process, we let go of and clear out the density that is not our truth so that our Soul or Higher Self can live in this body with us and we can be who we truly are.
It is a profound experience when we realize we’ve been looking at ourselves through the eyes of others – those who raised us from infancy, those who influenced us through early childhood as we went through an educational system, and so on. The world has been described to us over and over again through other people’s filters. Even the history of the Earth that we have been taught is not true. In this process we come to a realization that nothing is real. As we dissolve old beliefs, the elixir of love is what helps to hold us steady and open us to the truth of our Being, which is an experience beyond words. This clearing out of untruth awakens us by peeling away layers of confusion from our eyes. It expands us so we can integrate and embody our Soul as we remain in our physical bodies on the physical body of Earth.
This Awakening cracks us wide open
Now there are enough people who are awake and who are able to hold and anchor the high frequencies, so that this frequency of energy we are passing through can be received and anchored more fully on this planet. This will open and expand our shared consciousness, creating a deeper, more amplified awareness of what life truly is and how we are connected to all of life – to one another, to the trees growing and the waters flowing on earth. This awareness will blow our minds – even those who have had awakening experiences in the past. We have been preparing for years (for me, it’s been 35 years!) in the form of clearing our energy, releasing our hold on limitation through judgment of past events, letting go of our regrets, our guilt, remorse, and judgment of ourselves and others. Releasing our victimhood, our belief in powerlessness. All of these – and more – are aspects of the Wound of Humanity. We are clearing and healing this wound of unworthiness that has been ingrained deep within us over centuries of trauma and mental and emotional manipulation through fear.
Love and laughter are two of our greatest strengths. If you wonder if you are awake or not, just feel into your capacity to love and bring that loving frequency out from the core of your being. You are love. If you need assistance during the coming times, there will be all the help you need within and around you.
A Message from the Vastness of Consciousness
The work you have been doing has been very deep and powerfully transformative. We appreciate all you have been doing to raise the consciousness on planet Earth. Even though things got sidetracked early on in your lives, due to circumstances on the macro level of the world, those of you who came to Earth to anchor the high vibrational frequencies have been doing just that. It has involved many years of clearing and releasing and it is all moving you towards remembering who you are –Divine Beings.
All is in Divine order as the energies have been ramping up in small increments over the years. Earth is due for a full on blast of high vibrational frequencies that will crack open the remaining shell of density that has protected and separated human beings from their greater awareness.
Those who have had an awakening experience will be familiar with the amplification of awareness that comes with awakening. The awareness of how alive everything is. Those not yet awakened to the greater reality will be able to bask in the joyful energies if they love themselves. Those who are still struggling with self hatred will be called to surrender to the shadow of their being and there will be many helpers at hand to assist in navigating through energies of fear, confusion, blame, guilt, regret and so on.
There is no Judgment
This is the beauty of the awakening, when one really grasps the truth that Divine Creator Source is a flow of life (read: love) force energy – an IS-ness of being. It is the Divine Indifference, in that it doesn’t care or judge us for any of our actions. And this Love Force Energy flows through us and through all of life. Within this frequency is no judgment or punishment. When Humans embody this life force energy fully they will no longer be judging, criticizing or blaming themselves or others. This is the beauty of freedom and love with responsibility to pay attention to when we are sliding into judgment.
Benefits of Awakening
As we move through and rise above the shadow part of our journey, emerging into love, we become more telepathic and acquire heightened intuitive and psychic abilities, as well as cultivating tele-kinetic abilities, just to name a few Super Human qualities that are part of our evolution. The journey through our personal shadow is where we find the gift of surrender, which brings us into love and acceptance of ourselves. Judgment and criticism drop away and we realize those old voices can no longer connect to us – the fear receptors we used to have in our energy field have been dissolved through our surrender into acceptance of our shadow. This is the grand evolutionary process Humanity is going through at this time.
The Whirlwind
I have observed in myself that when there’s a whirlwind of emotion regarding a situation I’m involved in, I immediately jump into it and join in – adding more energy to the whirlwind. I have stated an intention to stop doing this, however, I have recently realized that jumping into the whirlwind is a courageous way to engage the cleansing process. Like a white tornado, it spins within us, drawing out the density of our deepest fear, shame and guilt. It is raw and painful and turns us inside out. Surrendering to the deep cleansing process is the only way to find release. Through acceptance, we let go of judgments we have about ourselves. This is the road to freedom.
There is a calm at the end of the storm and in that calm we can breathe in our Soul Essence, filling the places of release with our authentic vibrational frequency. It is also helpful to request our unseen helpers to assist us in bringing in soothing, calming, forgiving, healing energy. I call upon the Divine Mothers – a group of “Curanderas” – healers – to help me in times of need. They are like nurses, earth mothers – dressed in blue robes – radiating compassion and love. Many people have an affinity with Angels and Spirit Guides, Earth spirits, or benevolent beings from other star systems to assist in this process. Whatever works for you, ask for assistance. We are not alone and we are on a Divine Mission to anchor the highest vibrational frequency of love into our beings, bringing heaven to Earth. The only way to embody that love (which is our unique Soul’s vibration) is to clear out the density of untruth within us. There is a great deal of assistance out there for us to do this. I find remembering to ask for help is the hard part! Sometimes we’re so immersed in the transmutation that we forget to use our tools and ask for assistance.
Human Emotions – our Gift
Our emotions are a most interesting aspect to being Human and I believe that it is our mission to learn to witness our emotions so that we can we can ride the currents our emotions create into an expanded level of creativity, understanding and joy. At the same time, I feel that what I can do in following my intention to not jump right in to the whirlwind (there is a lot of chaos in the world right now – not all whirlwinds are for our personal clearing process) is to find my center, my place of stillness, my eye in the center of the storm and stay in that place…in the center… all of the time. (To be honest, I’m not there yet!) This requires vigilance. This requires deep listening and bringing our attention to the now moment in order to find the stillness within the center of our being. This requires knowing who we are – infinite beings of consciousness. And our greatest joy could be to bring that infinite awareness to our lives as we connect to one another in the Collective Consciousness, strengthening our Unity through love. Imagine that – our cooperation and conscious co-creation is changing our world.
Spiritual Alchemy
Be kind to yourself regarding the past and let it go. Understand that all of us human beings are wounded and our “misdeeds” come from fear. I feel like it’s our mission as spiritual alchemists to transform fear into love. It’s not easy at times, that’s for sure, but that’s when we need to love ourselves the most.
The Moon today is in a Waxing Crescent Phase. A Waxing Crescent is the first Phase after the New Moon and is a great time to see the features of the moon’s surface. During this phase the Moon can be seen in the wester sky after the sun dips below the horizon at sunset. The moon is close to the sun in the sky and mostly dark except for the right edge of the moon which becomes brighter as the days get closer to the next phase which is a First Quarter with a 50% illumination.
Phase Details for – Thursday, September 17, 2015
Phase: Waxing Crescent
Illumination: 15%
Moon Age: 3.77 days
Moon Angle: 0.50
Moon Distance: 400,772.52 km

You will need:
⦁ Cinnamon
⦁ Ginger
⦁ Chili powder
⦁ Charcoal disk
⦁ A red candle
⦁ A black candle
⦁ Sage
⦁ An empty pack of cigarettes (or whatever bad habit you’re trying to overcome)
⦁ Matches
⦁ A bowl
Prepare your working space however you normally do. If you’re going to cast a circle, go ahead. Likewise, if you call upon deities, now would probably be the time to do so. I did this on the first night after the lunar eclipse, but any time during the waning moon would work.
Light the red candle. Say, “Red is the color of strength, red is the color of power. I have the strength to kick this habit, day by day, hour by hour.”
Light the black candle. Say, “Black is the color that sends things away, and gives me the strength to kick this today.”
Working between the two candles, mix the cinnamon, ginger and chili powder together, grinding them until they are powdery. Place the charcoal disc in your bowl, and sprinkle the cinnamon mixture on top of it. Light the charcoal.
You should have a nice burning pile of ground herbs now. Slowly tear the cigarette package (without the cellophane) into small pieces. As you tear the paper, close your eyes and visualize the nicotine and tar leaving your body(or for drug addiction, the drug). Picture your lungs(drugs – body) changing from black and icky to pink and healthy.
Place the torn pieces in the bowl with the burning charcoal. Light a match, and place it in there so that the torn cigarette pack begins to burn as well. It may not stay lit, but try to get it to burn a little bit. Say, “I burn what has no control over me. The addiction is gone, and I will be free.”
Light the sage, and smudge the area around your work space. You are cleansing yourself of the effects of the bad habit, and freeing your body and soul from the addiction. Particularly smudge the area over the bowl with the burning cigarette pack in it. Say, “Within me is the strength, no doubt, and with sage I cleanse the air without.”
Place your smudging sage in the bowl as well, and take a moment to reflect. This working is not about the habit itself, but about your rejection of the addiction. Realize that you will physically – and psychologically — no longer need the habit.
Allow everything in the bowl to burn out on its own. If possible, allow the candles to burn out on their own as well.
To create this soothing bath, you will need a warm bath, three fresh bay leaves, a fresh lemon, a sliced apple, your lover, and your favorite scent. Just before you make love tonight, take this bath to feel loving and charming.
Run a warm bath. Tear the bay leaves and add them to the water. As you do say:
Divine waters fill me with love and charm.
Slice open the fresh lemon. Squeeze the lemon juice into the bath water. Repeat:
Divine waters fill me with love and charm.
Slice the apple and put the slices on a plate next to your bath. Invite your lover into the bath. Feed each other the slices of apple. Before eating each slice, repeat:
You are loving and charming.
Blessed be!
Towel one another off slowly and sensuously, and apply your favorite scent. Enjoy the fruits of your labors.
Hildegard of Bingen, Abbess of Rupertsberg (1098 – 1179), was known as the “Sibyl of the Rhine.” The 10th child of noble parents, Hildegard joined a monastery at age 8 and took the veil seven years later. A visionary from childhood, she wrote three mystical works, together with saints’ lives and work on natural history and medicine but is more famous for her poetry and musical works. Honored in many German churches, Hildegard was never canonized even though many miracles have bee reported from her tomb.
Herb: Cinquefoil Ruled by the planet Jupiter and dedicated to Thor, god of thunder and agricultural work. His parallels in various European Traditions include Zeus, Taranis, Perun, and Perkunas.
Magical aspects: controlled optimism, energetic growth, physical well-being, material success, expansion, money/wealth, prosperity, leadership, and generosity.
Thursday is the day of Jupiter, the largest of the planets and said to be the most powerful. Spellcasters would be wise to use this day for attempting wealth, success and prosperity spells.
Thursday is also associated (in Greek mythology) to Thor – Thor’s day – and some even say that Jupiter and Thor are one in the same. Both are strong and powerful, yet wise and just. Try a small prayer to Jupiter before commencing any ritual on Thursday as a sign of respect. This is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving luck, happiness, health, legal matters, male fertility, treasure, wealth, honour, riches, clothing, money, desires, business, group pursuits, joy, laughter, and expansion
Thursday (Jupiter): Expansion, money, prosperity and generosity.
Von Steuben’s Day
Waxing Moon The Waxing Moon is the ideal time for magick to draw things toward you.
Moon phase: First Quarter
Moon Sign: Scorpio Scorpio: Increases awareness of psychic power. Precipitates psychic crises and ends connections thoroughly. People tend to brood and become secretive.
Today is the day for prosperity work of all kinds. It can also be used for healing work, whether that is a physical healing of an illness or an emotional healing. Also remember that you have to follow up your healing work and prosperity magick and physical action.
I can’t tell you the number of times I have met new witches who complain to me that their prosperity spell or “I need a better job” spell did not work as they expected. They’ll ramble on and on about how much time and money they spent working their magick….but, alas, they had no glorious manifestion of wealth or fabulous job that suddenly dropped out of the sky and landed in their laps.
Then, when I gently ask them, “Did you enchant your resume or application when you filled it out? Did you do a little confidence-boosting spellwork when you went to apply for the job or went to the interview?” typically they give me a blank, confused stare.
Nine times out of ten, their response is, “You mean I have to go out and actually look for the job too?” Um, yes, my dear, you certainly do. Magick follows the path of least resistance, which means it’s going to manifest along the simplest, quickest route. Get out there and hit the pavement. See what you can find. Times are tough and competition for good jobs is fierce, so you need whatever edge you can get. For folks like us, we’re going to get the edge by using our magick and our spellcraft.
Thursdays have such a rich source of magick for us to draw upon that, honestly, the sky is the limit. This is the day associated with the gods of the sky and heavens, after all. Get to know these deities and add their wisdom and magick into your days

The name is derived from Old English Þūnresdæg and Middle English Thuresday (with loss of -n-, first in northern dialects, from influence of Old Norse Þorsdagr) meaning “Thor’s Day”. Thunor, Donar (German, Donnerstag) and Thor are derived from the name of the Germanic god of thunder, Thunraz, equivalent to Jupiter in the interpretatio romana.
In most Romance languages, the day is named after the Roman god Jupiter, who was the god of sky and thunder. In Latin, the day was known as Iovis Dies, “Jupiter’s Day”. In Latin, the genitive or possessive case of Jupiter was Iovis/Jovis and thus in most Romance languages it became the word for Thursday: Italian giovedì, Spanish jueves, French jeudi, Sardinian jòvia, Catalan dijous, and Romanian joi. This is also reflected in the p-Celtic Welsh dydd Iau.
The astrological and astronomical sign of the planet Jupiter is sometimes used to represent Thursday.
Since the Roman god Jupiter was identified with Thunor (Norse Thor in northern Europe), most Germanic languages name the day after this god: Torsdag in Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish, Hósdagur/Tórsdagur in Faroese, Donnerstag in German or Donderdag in Dutch. Finnish and Northern Sami, both non-Germanic (Uralic) languages, uses the borrowing “Torstai” and “Duorastat”. In the extinct Polabian Slavic language, it was perundan, Perun being the Slavic equivalent of Thor.
There are a number of modern names imitating the naming of Thursday after an equivalent of “Jupiter” in local tradition. In most of the languages of India, the word for Thursday is Guruvar- var meaning day and guru being the style for Bṛhaspati, guru to the gods and regent of the planet Jupiter. In Thai, the word is Wan Pharuehatsabodi – referring to the Hindu deity Bṛhaspati, also associated with Jupiter. En was an old Illyrian deity and in his honor in the Albanian language Thursday is called “Enjte”. In the Nahuatl language, Thursday is Tezcatlipotōnal meaning “day of Tezcatlipoca”.
