Get a Jump on Tomorrow…

Your Horoscopes for Sunday, December 13th

by Rick Levine

 

General Horoscope

We may grow agitated today if we run into obstacles while pursuing our goals as the ambitious Capricorn Moon amps up our determination. Unfortunately, we’ll likely face setbacks since the Moon forms difficult aspects with Pluto, Uranus and Mars. Thankfully, the Moon’s smooth trine with generous Jupiter later in the day indicates that hard work will be rewarded. Even if we are bouncing around in the emotional currents, persistence pays off.

Aries Horoscope Mar 21 – Apr 19

You may be annoyed if circumstances don’t go your way today, requiring you to jump in and handle an unexpected crisis. Although a twist in the plot isn’t normally enough to stop you in your tracks, you are ready to call off the battle now so you can catch your breath. Intuitively, you know there are many ways to measure progress and not all of them matter. Your greatest satisfaction starts with a simple change in your attitude. Let go of your preconceived agenda and embrace the element of surprise.

Taurus Horoscope Apr 20 – May 20

It seems as if you’re spinning around in circles without getting much done today. Thankfully, you can still meet your commitments as long as you don’t throw in the towel too soon. Whether you’re out running errands or just working around the house, concentrate on one task at a time. You may surprise yourself with how much you finish if you make a commitment to focus, rather than allowing yourself to be distracted by every little thing. The key to your current productivity comes from establishing priorities now and rewarding yourself with rest and relaxation later.

Gemini Horoscope May 21 – Jun 20

You are more than ready for the hectic pace of life to settle down today, but instead, you seem to face one irritating problem after another. Even if you can minimize the complications, your natural curiosity drives you to seek answers to an ever-growing list of questions. But your obsession for more information is an obstacle to your success. Fortunately, you can easily break this frustrating pattern once you realize that too many facts are almost as bad as no facts at all. Ironically, the apparent chaos was created by you and can be undone by your decision to live in the present moment.

Cancer Horoscope Jun 21 – Jul 22

You don’t always like other people making decisions for you, but someone’s interference might come as a welcome relief today. Take your cues from a trustworthy friend since he or she will steer you in the right direction. Unfortunately, your unfulfilled dreams could negatively influence your choices if you rely on your own instincts now. Just remember, heeding sound advice doesn’t alleviate you of the final authority; ultimately, you’re the one who must walk along the path you choose.

Leo Horoscope Jul 23 – Aug 22

It bothers you to be tied to one predetermined course of action, but you’re wise enough to acknowledge when something is for your own good. Swallow your pride and play the role expected of you today, especially if you want to be known as a person who follows through on your promises. Instead of rambling on about your dreams now, get busy with the work at hand. There’s little time to waste; the truth is you will be judged by your accomplishments and not your words.

Virgo Horoscope Aug 23 – Sep 22

Everyone seems to look to you for guidance because your practical outlook is exactly what they need now. Your friends and relatives beg for your assistance because they’re doing everything they can to make up for previous inefficiency. You might be in the mood to enjoy a day of rest but, nevertheless, you are still likely to help the ones you love out of a sense of obligation. There is no point in begrudgingly doing what’s expected of you. Act from your heart or don’t do it at all.

Libra Horoscope Sep 23 – Oct 22

Family responsibilities may interfere with your ability to participate in other activities today, but you can do it all if you manage your time thoughtfully. You know that your loyalty to those you love trumps all the other items on your daily wish list, so you won’t likely run out before you’ve done your duty. Just remember that approval from others isn’t the only thing that matters, so follow your conscience when setting priorities. There’s no stopping you if your actions are aligned with your heart.

Scorpio Horoscope Oct 23 – Nov 21

Establishing a steady rhythm today enables you to accomplish much more than you ever thought possible. Adhering to a set schedule works to your advantage, even if you’re planning on a day of relaxation. No matter what, don’t commit to more than is feasible, for the pressure you place on yourself will make you anxious. Thankfully, others appreciate your honesty even if it’s awkward at first. Your willingness to tell the truth is more important than almost anything else now.

Sagittarius Horoscope Nov 22 – Dec 21

You appear to be a pillar of stability today, even in the face of uncertainty and unrest. Your current determination to meet your obligations may win the admiration of your family and friends. But it’s not about how hard you work; it’s about your uncharacteristic practicality. You don’t need to conjure up any brilliant ideas or perform with great expertise. All you must do is stick to the acknowledged agenda the best you can now. There will be plenty of time to wander off the beaten path later on.

Capricorn Horoscope Dec 22 – Jan 19

Although you may be known as the champion of responsibility, your current success comes from your skill at blending your competence with a disarming emotional vulnerability. People find you extremely approachable today and are more likely to share their feelings with you. In return, you find it easy to present your softer side without sacrificing your strength. Even if you believe maintaining an air of authority is prudent, you will be happier now if you open your heart.

Aquarius Horoscope Jan 20 – Feb 18

You might not understand all the nuances to your feelings today, but this doesn’t mean that you should try to bury them. Although you’re quite capable of hiding your frustrations, denying your emotions isn’t a healthy strategy. It’s always wise to be more conscious of your unexpressed needs before responding to any complex situation. As the anti-guru Krishnamurti proclaimed, “The highest form of human intelligence is to observe yourself without judgment.”

Pisces Horoscope Feb 19 – Mar 20

Your assistance on an emotional cleanup team could be required today, especially if you are guilty of creating the original mess. Your recent declarations may have offended someone and now you must smooth over any feelings that were inadvertently hurt in the process. Thankfully, your determination to speak your mind with compassion sets a good example for everyone else to follow. A heartfelt “I’m sorry” works wonders when it comes to mending fences.

If You Were Born Today, December 12

You have a distinctly dual nature that, at your best, makes you versatile, and at your worst, downright confused (and confusing!). While a great lover of peace and harmony, you are also determined and fiery. While idealistic, you mostly have your feet on the ground. In relationships, the need for partnering and cooperating is strong, but freedom also matters to you. You are a natural counsellor, offering excellent advice. There is usually quite a bit of drama and colorful emotion in your relationships, whether it’s because you bring this to the table or attract these kinds of people.

Famous people born today: Frank Sinatra, Edward Koch, Connie Francis, Jennifer Connelly, Bridget Hall, Bob Barker, Dionne Warwick.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, December 12th

Aries

Aries Horoscope
Aries

With the Moon’s move to the top of your solar chart early into the day, dear Aries, your attention turns to your responsibilities, image, and larger life goals. However, you’re not feeling the typical pressure in this respect, and instead you tend to feel connected and relatively content about your general direction right now. There is compassion and patience in your approach to others today. One-to-one interactions can thrive. Conversations can be lively and stimulating, as well as refreshingly open. You can quite successfully draw on past experience, wisdom, and intuition in order to further your goals.

Taurus

Taurus

With the Moon’s move into harmony with your sign early into the day, dear Taurus, you can feel emotionally lifted up and out of slumber, ready to take on new challenges and open to new experiences. There is a stronger focus on forward movement now. Gently stimulating energy is with you for social and romantic connections. You are especially companionable and easy to talk to today. Conversations about intimate or personal matters tend to flow naturally, and it can be natural to clear the air without too much in the way of drama. There can be a chance to learn from past mistakes or to put a problem behind you.

Gemini

Gemini

The day favors contemplation and observation, dear Gemini, and you might choose to lay low in some way or pull yourself out of regular activities in order to connect with your deeper needs and desires. You could be involved in some level of research now, or you may be throwing yourself into something that requires more deep thought or concentration, and thoroughly enjoying every minute of it! While you are inclined to be a little introspective, the day is nevertheless good for communication. Whether you’re looking within for answers or if others are offering their perspectives, it’s a strong time for seeing something more clearly or for finding resolutions to the more complex problems in your life.

Cancer

Cancer

This can be a good day for some validation from people in your life, dear Cancer, and for finding ways to gain a stronger feeling of balance. Socially, this can be a strong day. Your own natural gentleness draws others to you, and you could find that people are naturally opening up to you, or that conversations naturally flow in a productive, healing, healthy direction. It’s a good time to talk through difficulties without having to force issues, and for repairing relationships if needed – or simply improving a bond. Another person’s perspective, even if it diverges from yours significantly, tends to enhance your own.

Leo

Leo

Good energy is with you today for work and health pursuits, dear Leo, as well as conversations about and with family. It’s rather easy now to put two and two together when it comes to recent family and work events. You might find research and analysis quite absorbing and successful. The desire to improve basic habits and daily routines is with you, minus the pressure that is often behind this, and leading to happier productivity. Open communication with a relative or intimate partner can help center you and relieve your mind regarding some of your troubles or concerns, especially related to health and work.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

This is a strong day for exploring creative avenues of expression, dear Virgo, for expressing your feelings and affections, and for finding good outlets for enjoying yourself, perhaps related to hobbies or creative works. There can be especially open, healthy, and supportive conversations in/about your meaningful relationships. If you need to patch up differences, particularly with a lover, partner, or child, this is a good time to do so – not necessarily in a confrontational way, but simply through gentle conversation and gestures of reaching out. Look for ways to relieve recent stress now, and pay close attention to news and conversations that might point you in the right direction towards healing.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

This can be a good day for taking a break from a quick pace in your life, dear Libra, and for attention to home, family, and matters of comfort and security. It can be quite healing to unwind or simply take a break from mental busy-ness now by concentrating on self-nurture, comforting or familiar activities, and attending to root matters or your home or base of operations. There can be satisfying conversations that focus on solutions or wisdom rather than only venting or gossip, which can be soothing. You have a tendency to want to get at the heart of an issue rather than skim its surface now.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

The more likable, charming qualities of your personality are subtly enhanced today, dear Scorpio, although this is generally true of most of Venus’ transit of your sign already underway (from December 4-30). Today, your charm tends to especially shine through your communications and gestures. Especially attractive, and also very soothing, is your current ability to express contentment in the moment, patience, and optimism. You might share a cherished belief, or arrive at a new one, through your conversations with others or your own musings. There can be relief about sharing a particular topic now, or you could be a go-between helping others to come to a compromise or state of peace.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

With the Moon moving out of your sign where it’s spent the last few days, dear Sagittarius, you’re likely to feel increasingly more content and happy to build upon what you have rather than urgently seek out a connection to the world. You are seeing and enjoying your connections now, and especially drawn to the pleasures and comforts of the physical world. There is good energy for bringing out matters into the open with someone you trust, however, so don’t miss that opportunity. You’re more likely to seek out and find the resources to solve recent dilemmas and problems now, particularly as your patience is improved.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

The Moon moves into your sign very early into the day, dear Capricorn, adding more color to your emotional world. Your feelings and emotional needs tend to surface now, and this can seem sudden and slightly overwhelming if they involve buried emotions. However, you could find it rather easy and natural to find channels for expressing your feelings today, and in fact you could enjoy a wonderful sense of relief to talk about certain issues that have been on your mind. If you need to repair relationships with relatives or friends, this can be a good time to do so. Your own good humor and wisdom can be an important resource today.

Aquarius

Aquarius

The Moon moves into your privacy sector this morning, dear Aquarius, signalling a time for behind the scenes activities, extra rest, and reprieve from recent demands or competitive situations. It’s an ideal couple of days to take extra time for yourself, look within for answers, and tap into your dreams, inner world, and intuition. With increasing activity in this sector of your chart in the coming weeks, you’re in a great position to better understand yourself and to connect with your spiritual needs and wishes. Today, there can also be new insight into business and financial matters, and conversations can be healing.

Pisces

Pisces

If you need to unwind after busy days, dear Pisces, you’re in a good position to do so now. The Moon moves into your pressure-free solar eleventh house shortly into the day, and your focus tends to shift away from responsibilities and towards those things, ideas, and people who make you feel good or that you belong. Easy energy is with you for socializing and for experiencing new situations. An appreciation for things that are ever so slightly exotic is stimulated today. Compassion and acceptance are in large supply today. Romantic feelings are abundant, and your powers of attraction are in good form.

End of 2015 Energy Summary: Where are we at?

End of 2015 Energy Summary: Where are we at?

To view more of Dana’s insight, please visit her website, www.danamrkich.com

As 2015 draws to a close, it’s a good time to touch base on where we are at exactly on this mammoth energetic and very physical ride that we are all on. I want to also acknowledge those who have their doubts, those who may feel, or have heard, that the whole ‘new age’ was a big distraction campaign complete with a ‘false light’ guiding us.  There are some valid nuggets of truth concerning that particular perspective, and that’s important to address, yet let’s get clear so that we don’t throw a perfectly good shoe out the window just because of a few pebbles that have been wedged inside.

What with false flags to the right of us, and supposed false lights to the left of us, what is a person to believe anymore? Let’s take a moment to see what’s what, what truth we can sift out to take with us into 2016, and what we can leave behind in the garbage bin labelled ‘expired’.

The Year That Was: Embodying More of Who We Are

This year has been a powerful one, in both the most subtle of ways and the most direct, in your face, kind of ways.  In my 2015 Energy Report I described 2013-14 as transition years, and yes we still are in that transition. It takes a while to move an entire collective from one way of being to another. However when I look at those years and this one energetically, I see a big difference. 2013-14 appear to me visually as being ones where we were coming round a bend, not quite sure of what was up ahead. 2015 feels like we hit a stretch of open road, giving us a greater vantage point from which to see more of the truth be it global, social or personal.

It has been like being able to simultaneously see the puppet strings, the puppet-master, and the puppet’s response all at the same time. Whether it’s a personal issue or pattern, a family dynamic, something going on at work, news portrayed in the media or global events, you might have felt many times this year as if you were having an out of body experience. That is, you may resonate with feeling like you have been observing things much more, as opposed to being caught up in the story of it, and from that place of observation seeing things in a whole new light with greater clarity.

On one level you may have felt a sense of detachment from the drama of stories and situations, while on another level felt more connected than ever, more grounded and heart-centred than ever, to whatever has jumped out at you as being truly authentic, in alignment with your path, and important to your soul. This floating detachment/grounded connection can even happen simultaneously while talking to a person or hearing about an event or realising some inner insight. Detaching from the story of it. Connecting to the truth of it. Detaching from the dramatic emotion of it. Connecting to the heart-centred feeling of it.

It can thus at times feel as if you are two people, one floating above reality, the other firmly in it, perhaps more present here on Earth than you have ever felt before. A changing of the guard is happening within us. Before, we had this notion of our ‘higher self’ floating above us, separate to us, but now we are embodying this higher self. And yes, there will still always be a ‘higher vibrational self’ floating above us, because we are limitless, eternal beings, with endless levels of awareness and consciousness to open up to, and endless frequencies of vibration to shift up into. Yet, the ‘higher self’ of our few years ago, is who we actually are today.

The more we embody more and more of this higher consciousness part of us, the more we realise that this higher self is not separate to us, it is US.  And what we are experiencing now is so special, because we are embodying, and able to consciously ‘house’ more and more of who we really are, right here, in this physical body, in this physical life, on this physical planet. So this higher awareness, now actually existing as our present conscious awareness, is what gives us this floaty, out of body, “I feel like I am observing everything” feeling. We are now our own higher selves looking out at life through our own physical eyes.

So we feel this new higher awareness, yet at the same time that part of US that is newly embodied is feeling the newness of being in the physical, and so you might be feeling a very new kind of connection to Earth and humanity, a deeper appreciation of it, a greater desire to get in there and really immerse in this physical experience. And this embodying process is not a static one time occurrence. We are now all going through it constantly, receiving constant adjustments and upgrades as we expand, receive more of who we are into us, expand, receive more of who we are into us. The floaty feeling increases, yet the ‘ooh I feel more grounded and connected to my body/Earth/humanity’ feeling also increases.

With this grounded, heart-centred higher awareness, authenticity and transparency are fast becoming non-negotiable in our lives. If we don’t feel like doing something and say yes, things will go pear-shaped in a way that is obvious to us, if not also to others. If our heart and soul is urging us to do something but we continually push those urges or our inner voice down, we’ll know about it in one way or other. Unhappiness of the soul can no longer be brushed aside with a ‘that’s just the way it is.’ Our souls are in da house now, and saying loud and clear to us: “You are not here to be unhappy. You are here to do what lights you up, and in doing so you will help to light up others and add your light to the world in all sorts of joyful, creative ways and that is how we are going to create a new reality down here. Let’s get on it!”

Revelations

What is happening on a personal level cannot help but unfold on the global, collective level because at the end of the day, that collective is made up of individual people, with every single one being affected by the higher frequency energy now present on the planet. This does not mean that we are seeing peace, love and joy everywhere we look.  High frequency energy equates to higher consciousness, which increases awareness and clears anything not in alignment. You can’t get from the dense state of affairs we’ve been living with, to collective peace, love and joy in one vibrational leap. There is a transition time, one in which there is a tremendous amount of out with the old, in with the new re-shuffling.

What happens when you lift up the rug when you are doing a big clean? Yep, there is a lot of dust and crap under there that you have to sweep out. Do you say: “Oh no, there is so much dust and crap! This house is a disaster, there is no saving it!” Or do you say: “Oh thank God I lifted this rug, look at all this under there! Let’s sweep this out right now, and let’s ditch the rug entirely, and wow look, shiny, new wooden floorboards. It looks like a completely different house now!”

On a collective level, we are seeing more and more of all the dust and crap that has existed for decades, and obviously even further back than that. Only years ago the very notion of global elite paedophile rings was scoffed at by those who ridiculed the crazy conspiracy circles. Those rings are now being exposed. Names are being named, and what we have seen so far is just a drop in a big muddy river that runs across the entire planet encompassing every institution that has held itself up as a trusted source of authority: politics, the church, law courts, media, schools.

As the murky foundation of it all is revealed brick by brick, entire buildings representing the old world – the very structure of our society – cannot help but collapse. I’m sure that there are those at the top of those structures who are betting on us being so easily distracted and diverted that this nuisance of truth-revealing will eventually blow over, but the momentum is too strong now. We didn’t come here to watch reality shows, we came here to create a new reality and this we will do.

The inevitability of this is something that I’ve been writing about for a long time. A few people along the years have said that they doubt the truth will ever come out in its entirety. It will, and every year now more rapidly, it is. As I’ve shared many times previously, but it is always worth repeating, the Apocalypse is something that more of humanity would have been eagerly awaiting rather than being in fear of had we been brought up to know the true meaning of these times, and that word.  The word Apocalypse comes from a Greek/Latin word meaning ‘to reveal’ or ‘that which was hidden to be revealed’. The prophecies were correct – Hollywood’s interpretation of that word was not. On purpose.

Gathering Up of Our Wholeness

Another thing I’ve been writing and speaking about for a long time is what I have always felt to be the greater purpose of our awakening, and the way in which ‘the Shift’ would most likely manifest, and that is the embodiment of our higher consciousness, the embodiment of our greater reality awareness, so that we can live in a whole new way and create a very new paradigm for humanity and all on this planet, in every arena, right here on Earth.

This embodiment by more and more people, seemingly happening ‘out of nowhere’ is one of the finer, more subtle ways that this year is coming across as a powerful one. While millions of people have spent years or decades doing their inner work, reading spiritual or self-help books, meditating on retreat and so on, millions of others are suddenly just getting on with it, living in a new way without necessarily needing all the ‘spiritual stuff’ – and that is AOkay. They are following an impulse to eat healthier, find work they love and make a difference, be it led by their inner voice or by their inspirational Instagram feed. If they need some inner shifting support, great, there are thousands upon thousands equipped to help. If they don’t, if it is just happening naturally and organically, then woohoo, yet more evidence that a mass shift is upon us.

Have people received an accelerated upgrade by osmosis, soaking it in through the upgrades of those around them akin to a kind of hundredth monkey affect? Or is this just how higher energies roll, washing over everybody regardless of where you were at on the ‘awakened’ spectrum?  We have all had aspects within us that have been awake, and we have all had aspects within us that have been asleep or had the light switch turned to dim. There are many aspects to living a conscious, awakened, life. What is happening now feels to ultimately be a gathering up of all the aspects of our wholeness, allowing a fuller, more free expression of it, and as a result finding balance where one was perhaps out of balance.

In this new environment we can all learn something from each other through positive support and inspiration as opposed to learning the old way through getting our buttons pushed. Those of us who have spent years focused on inner and higher awareness can learn plenty from those out there growing their own gardens or helping communities build water wells, or those out there who have created wealth and prosperity in a good way, and vice versa.  Some in high-powered positions are feeling called to go on retreat and do some self-reflection, while those with an energetic PhD in self-reflection are feeling called to step into their power in more physical ways while others feel to step off for a while and rest. We are each gravitating to whatever it is that our soul most needs in this moment to feel more whole, more true to itself, and more balanced.

That said, where one is in extreme resistance to an aspect, or multiple aspects, of higher frequency energy, the result is an extreme imbalance manifesting as chaos, anger, violence. Where there is a repression of one’s own higher/authentic energy, there is often confusion, frustration or depression as we pinch ourselves off from those parts of us wanting to emerge and be expressed.

Our embodiment of higher consciousness does not mean becoming ‘more spiritual’ – it is simply about becoming more full stop. More of who you truly are, and as you do so the ‘who you are not’ dissolves. That may mean doing things that your former self may have thought was totally ‘not spiritual’ like making more money so you can do more good things, or drawing some lines across the sand and creating healthy boundaries for yourself instead of thinking you have to help everyone at the expense of your own health and wellbeing.

On the topic of money, we hold a lot of emotional stories and beliefs around it. While the way in which our financial system was created and runs is not in alignment with an awake society, one of the first steps to transcending that system iss to firstly let go of these emotional stories and beliefs in order to shake loose the grip of perceived power ‘money’ has had over us. Find people who talk about it or use it in a good way, insist on following your dreams regardless of the figure in your bank account, play with it energetically to prove to yourself that YOU are the creator of your life NOT the money system.

For example, if there is a bill coming up that you have no idea how you are going to pay, see it as paid. Say “Thank you the car registration is paid” or if that is too much of a stretch, “Thank you, the car registration will for sure be paid on time, I don’t know how, but I know it will. Higher me, sort it out, thank you.”  Observe what happens. Observe how you feel as you are asking something like this. Use what happens, and use how you feel, as an opportunity to check in with the emotional story/beliefs you are holding around money.

Ultimately, no matter how our financial system was created, at the end of the day just like anything else it is energy. Money is energy. Who influences the energy in your life? You do. You do unless you are subconsciously allowing something or someone else to, including old programming, old emotional stories and old beliefs that were picked up somewhere along the way. We have all allowed this because the majority of our educational systems and society teach us that our sources of authority and power lie outside us. That is probably one of the number one lies that have been told to us, that has restricted our growth and freedom as autonomous, free beings.

Now Onto This New Age as a Distraction Business

A lot of what we see in the ‘new age’ arena is far from new. At the core of it, are ancient wisdom, tools and teachings that have been around probably for almost as long as souls have existed. Yet like an apple with some bruises and rotten bits, so too the new age business, like anything, has elements that include unnecessary paraphernalia, perspectives that keep us as passive bystanders while humanity and Earth could use our active participation, methods and rules that have been made up by people – some useful, others ridiculous – and channelled messages that range from genuine, authentic wisdom to what the what the??!

‘The powers that were’ did not create all that we now identify as ‘new age’ teachings. Please do not give them that much credit. I can however see how elements within this arena have been manipulated to keep well-meaning people running around in circles, lost, confused, passive, and powerless handing over their precious inner authority to external sources. The core however, as well as the majority of those people engaged in it, is full of powerful information and support encouraging and urging us to remember who we are, and thus remember our power.

Those who gravitate to ‘new age’ material are often perceived as lost souls, but in my experience they are among the most powerful souls on the planet only feeling ‘lost’ because quite rightly they feel out of place in a world where everything feels upside down. Everything feels upside down because a lot of it is upside down! Where some new age teachings have failed us is, encouraging the notion that something or some ones are coming to save us and change the world and clean this mess up.

I am the first to admit that I expected a much greater, external, shift in our collective physical reality by this point. I also acknowledge that I regularly refer to the incoming higher, vibrational energies that are moving this process along, and in talking about these energies may be contributing to the notion that ‘the energies’ are somehow going to do ‘it all’ for us. I want to be clear on this: The energies are absolutely helping us make a massive quantum leap in our evolution yet at the end of the day, it is our responsibility to use this energy in a good way, expressing it in physical, tangible ways that lead to the creation of that new world we all so desire.

There is often division between various divisions of new age arena’s, and those more into earth wisdom, those into shamanic practices, those into indigenous teachings, and so on. Can we please stop all this division, and all this ‘my way is better/more evolved than your way’? If you are working to better yourself and better the world around you then guess what, we are ALL on the same team. We are all working toward the same thing.  It is not nice for people doing one type of ceremony or one form of self-growth to laugh at people who choose other forms of awakening, . Here is what is important:

Choose the path or paths that feel right to you.

You don’t have to choose just one path or one way.

You don’t have to follow just one teacher or any teacher.

You are your own best teacher and authority.

You don’t have to follow any rules that don’t make sense to you.

Follow your own heart and discernment.

Use external tools and teachers to help strengthen your connection to your own inner/higher/authentic self, not replace it.

Entering a new evolutionary cycle built up huge hopes and expectations in us, and here we are a few years into it, and while yes all the transition signs are here, evidence of things shifting are here, but geeeeeeeez it is going slower than we would all like. When you have a vision of a reality, of a humanity, of a planet, that is far from our collective experience here, anything less than that feels like we may as well be living in the dark ages. BUT we have to acknowledge how far we, as a collective have come, even in these short past few years, and we have to get up and contribute our part in the creation of this new reality. As the Hopi saying goes: “We are the ones we have been waiting for.”

This is why I have felt called to add the ‘Conscious Lifestyle’ aspects to my blog. Awakening is not just about ‘being awake’. It then becomes a question of “What are we doing with our awakening?” How does this affect how we live, how we learn, how we teach, how we help each other? How does it affect how we parent, how we birth, how we eat, how we grow food? How does it affect how we build homes, the products we buy, the media we produce and the initiatives we create?

Finally Onto This False Light Business

Let’s cut to the chase. There is no need to have any source of authority between you, your Soul/greater self, and Source Energy/God/the Divine/the Goddess/the Great Mystery/whatever name you choose to call that great, big Light from which we all come.

You don’t have to defer to guides, star people, ascended masters or angels. IF connecting with these beings makes you feel good, if it helps you, if it gives you guidance, peace and clarity, then by all means connect with whoever and whatever resonates with you. If it doesn’t, then don’t. Maybe it does sometimes, and at other times it doesn’t. There are no rules, other than: do what feels right and good for you in this moment.

18 months ago I had a massive healing session that was so profound in what it uncovered that it’s taken me since then to fully digest, process and understand it, and thus be able to write about it.

In the session, I was experiencing a past life memory, and got to the point of the end of my life. I left my body, as you do and went up into the light. So far, standard body exit process. But that’s where it took an unexpected turn.

I found myself standing in a room in front of what seemed to be a board of directors of some sort, a kind of afterlife reality show judging panel. I was wearing the kind of outfit you’d see a Marine wear, complete with solid army boots.

Their first words were “What do you have for us?” Hands behind back, I was reporting what I’d just experienced in that life, what I’d learned about people and so on. It was very Mork from Ork, only it didn’t feel full of laughs and warm fuzzies and my outfit definitely wasn’t a joyful bright orange! It was serious business in that room. No sooner had I delivered my report, then I was sent ‘back into the field’, into another assignment, into another life to extract more information.

I’m going to honestly describe what I felt in observing that scene. The directors of that board had what I perceived to be zero care factor for actual people, humanity or indeed souls, beyond receiving what they needed for their purposes. Whatever that was. Whoever they were.

 

There was no emotion in that room. None. It was all about delivering information, and for them gaining information. For me observing this scene, lying there on the healing table eyes closed, it was a devastating moment. I felt an overwhelming feeling of being used, and betrayed to the core of my being. Was I just a foot soldier of some kind, seemingly working for these unemotional beings? My mind went into a spin….were they who I had lovingly referred to as ‘they’ my whole life?? Surely not! Please say it isn’t so!!

Half reluctantly for fear of what I might find, and half determined to find out what the heck was going on, I went further in and asked that aspect of me “What are you doing working for these people!???!!’, ‘Where is Source??’, ‘Where is the Light???”, and ‘What is happening here??’

And then I saw/felt the massive, bright Light, the true authentic light by whatever name you choose to call it, and I saw how while I was from this Light, and ultimately served this Light, (and had my beloved, true ‘they’ over in that Light), here I was in a kind of secret agent sort of role, extracting information from them (the unemotional beings), about them, how they worked, why they worked, finding out what they want, what their agenda is, and so on. It had me reeling trying to comprehend it all. Trying to put all the pieces of the puzzle into place. Trying to work out which of my beliefs were true and which were just part of some great big false story. I felt like Alice falling down the rabbit-hole, all footing lost, having no sense of where I would land, no sense of what was up or down.

Suddenly a few things made total sense. Like how I have known certain things about the ‘secret elite agenda’ for as long as I can remember. Way before the internet came along to confirm it all.  When I was about 19, I was working in a five star hotel, often doing readings on the quiet for my colleagues in their offices, as you do. One in particular was so supportive, always encouraging me to pursue that path. One day, and remember this was back when people talked quite a bit about so called ‘alien abductions, I told her that every bone in my body told me that the governments of the world had done a deal with a group of non-Earth beings, that they could examine humans in exchange for giving over advanced technology information. She said I should write science fiction novels. For what else did that sound like but science-fiction, until lo and behold, whistleblower after whistleblower has confirmed all that and more since then.

(Please note, there are non-Earth beings with great love for us, and not so nice ones who are not much into the love for us. Also, not all ‘examinations’ fall in the ‘elite agenda’ or abduction category. There are some of us who, with the full awareness of our higher self and with our full higher consciousness’s permission, think it perfectly normal to check in with our star tribe upstairs every now and again during sleepy time, reporting on goings on, receiving energetic upgrades and check-ups and so on.)

Another thing clicked into place. For as long as I could remember I had an inner knowing that I was ‘on contract’ until the end of 2012. I wasn’t really sure what that meant, and just hoped it didn’t mean that’s when I was going to physically die as there’s so much I want to do here!  After remembering this ‘board of directors’ scene I realised that end 2012 is when my ‘mission’ was over.  Or at least that Phase of it. My interaction with this board was done.

 

It also helped explain what some people refer to as ‘the trapping of souls in a reincarnation program’. I want to make two points here. Firstly, not all reincarnations are part of this program. Secondly, even if you have been part of a reincarnation program, you can be sure that on some level you volunteered for it. None of it is a trap, we are all sovereign, free souls with immense power and freedom that we are only now starting to comprehend the scope of.

So, that contract was over at the end of 2012, except there were no official (at least none I’ve remembered) discharge papers. Just a vague feeling that something was over, yet the new thing hadn’t yet started. A kind of a floating in the void feeling for much of 2013 and going into 2014 up until that healing session. And, for a time, a sense of betrayal even though I had of course, on a higher level, chosen it all! I was left with this ‘now what?’ kind of a feeling, and I know many of you have felt exactly the same way.

Once a phase of your Soul Mission is over, there is a kind of identity re-integration process to deal with – with no identity de-briefing officer to help! (Again, none that I can remember!). There is a transition process as you have to untangle all those parts of you that are not really you or not really you anymore, aspects that were simply taken on as part of that particular mission phase, and then re-discover who then is the authentic you of Now! During this transition period you may feel the need, as I did, to retreat quite a bit, to get some clarity into the ‘what’s next’ phase.

From Phase I to Phase II of Soul Missions

Phases of Soul Missions are ending all over the place now be it extracting yourself from a program, or ending long-term karmic relationships or finishing up one part of your Soul purpose to move onto a new part of your Soul purpose. This process can feel traumatic because it really does trigger a major identity crisis as you no longer identify with something that was an extension of you for such a long time. If you feel this way, know that you are like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon. You are moving into a new identity and even though at times it can feel hard and uncomfortable and dis-orientating, it is also a supremely powerful and special process. The more you get to know your new identity, the more comfortable and natural you will feel in it, seeing how it holds more love, peace, strength and authentic power than you have ever known before.

If you have got to the end of this energy report, high five! It was a long one!

Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful, happy and safe holiday season.

Onward and upward we go. You are not alone. We are all in this together.

Tips for Creating Peace & Feeling Peaceful in Turmoil

The world is in accelerated turmoil this month, fueled by uncertainty and a fear-induced crisis of confidence. You may be asking yourself how you can create peace and feel peaceful when the world has gone mad. That indeed is an excellent question to be asking right now. Even in the asking, you can begin to tap your inner wisdom that has a larger view of things.

Divine Changemakers Demand Truth

Staying awake enough to ask questions and to demand truth is essential to your role as a divine changemaker. After all, you cannot be a positive force for change when you are in the dark about situations or when you blindly accept what you are told by authority figures. Check the facts for yourself. Question the underlying motives of people who are expressing opinions.

In moments when it simply feels too intense knowing about the world’s disarray, take a personal time out when needed. Self-care is essential when you feel stressed.

December Moon Cycle

Today is the first day of a moon cycle culminating in a rare Full Moon on Christmas. Each time we have a New Moon as we have today, it’s like a door opens into a new space within which you can create something new or add an expanded element into a current situation.

Using this cycle: consider what you can personally create with this New Moon; consider, too, what you can do on an everyday basis to express love, tolerance, and acceptance. Right now on the world stage we are seeing loud examples of the polar opposite of those qualities.

Remember: many things are not as they appear during humanity’s awakening process. Often those speaking loudest or with the most charisma are tuning into fears lots of people have on an unconscious level. Apply discernment and your intuitively guided reason to all you take in during these moments.

2016 Themes: Truth & Justice

This Sagittarius New Moon is likely to stir themes of purpose, meaning, justice, and truth. The last two on the list will be dominant themes for 2016 as I wrote about in my annual “2016 Predictions.” This month indeed is an energetic set up for what we will be focusing on next year. We have major opportunities in 2016 to shift how we live together and to take constructive actions to create a more loving world. What we will be seeing as the year progresses is that key issues long percolating within humanity will be front and center in an inescapable way.

Things are not hopeless and we are not helpless either. We as divine changemakers can stay awake and conscious through these crazy times. When our world is polarized and others are unconsciously playing out their fears, we can make our best efforts to be awake and loving – being the voices in the crowd with the courage to take the high road of spirit. This is a choice we can and must make to have the kind of world we want.

Creating Peace in our Upside Down World

Creating peace in this upside down world is not easy. Here is a simple guideline that when followed does make a difference. Stop focusing on enemies constructed within your own mind or within the minds of others. From a spiritual perspective you have no enemies and no one to fight. The very notion of the enemy keeps you at war with an invisible force. Choose peace.

Accept the fact that many people are consciously asleep right now. They want love and peace just like you do, however. Keep that in mind as you witness bickering, prejudice, hateful accusations, name calling, and threats to exclude groups of people.

Be a force of peace by focusing on goodness and intentionally seeing the connection between all beings and all things. Do not let fear cause you to label others or to sort things into good and bad. Apply love wherever you see polarity, division, and discrimination.

300 Years from Now

Looking back on these times 300 years from now, you will be grateful for the opportunity you had to be here now – witnessing and being an instrumental part of humanity’s return to love. When you doubt this, go to your heart and ask spirit for a higher view. Ask to feel the love that you are at your core.

Custom Made Magick for Saturday

Custom Made Magick for Saturday

Protection, removing negativity, justice and balance have been the theme today. As we have just seen you can indeed a perform a binding and not cross the ethical line. Bindings are a more ethical route than cursing someone. But are there other options? Why, of course. I know of some Witches who, when they see a criminal’s face on television or read about them in the paper, mentally pain a white X over a criminal’s face while they say the phrase “I neutralize that person” with intention. This neutralizes the power and harm that the stranger causes.

If there is someone that you personally know who is causing you or your family harm, it is possible to use a photograph of the destructive person. Simply wrap white ribbon around their photo to symbolize you binding them up as you say, “I neutralize any physical or emotional harm that you are causing.”

But if you feel magickal bindings are the way to go, then perhaps your best course of action is to remove all emotion from yourself and the spell when you perform the binding. Just as I stated before, justice—like magick—is a neutral force. For lack of a better term, be businesslike. Wild swings of emotion only make for an uncontrollable magickal energy. Therefore, your best bet is to be neutral. If there was ever a time to be calm and in control, this is it. If you are not sure that you can pull off being neutral, then I suggest that you leave magick alone. It is essential to be in control. How much karma drama are you willing to pull into your life?

“Prosperity Possibilities”

“Prosperity Possibilities”

Here is a simple prosperity spell. Notice the practical nature of the spell-it asks for specific things (pay off bills, lessen debt) and specifies that they come in positive ways. May it bring you what you need!

 

Turn the wheel of prosperity ’round

‘Til gifts and money do abound

Pay off debt and manage bills

Compensate for living’s ills

Abundance flows in positive ways

When money comes, money stays

All I wish for, all I need

I summon now with word and deed.

Let’s Talk Witch – Prosperity & Spells

Prosperity & Spells

 

Witches cast spells to achieve all sorts of goals-some of the most common are love, strength, protection, healing, and purification. But probably the most widely used spells are those for prosperity.

Prosperity means different things to different people. For some it means being able to pay the monthly bills without worry. For others it means the fulfillment of a specific goal (like an author selling a lot of her books, for instance, not that I would need to do magick for such a thing…). To some Witches it is about acquiring riches, for others it is more about lessening poverty.

In general, though, prosperity spells are aimed at removing the stress that not having enough money can cause, leaving us free to focus on other more important aspects of our lives. (It is hard to be spiritual when they are turning off the electricity, after all.)

As a Witch, I’m sure that it will come as the gods help those who help themselves. Doing magickal work is only the first step. If you need a new job, by all means cast a prosperity spell to help you find the right one-then get up off your butt and go looking. The spell may help direct your feet to the right path, but that only works if you are walking in the first place.

Celebrating 365 Days of Legends, Folklore & Spirituality for Saturday, December 12 – Sada, Tonantzin, Our Lady of Guadalupe

December 12

Sada, Tonantzin, Our Lady of Guadalupe

 

Annually on this day in Iran, huge bonfires are ignited as the sun sets to exemplify how the power of light can overcome the power of darkness. As the fires burn, the evil influences that linger among the shadows of darkness are dispelled, thus allowing people to overcome obstacles and reach their fullest potential in the seasons to come.

It was on the hill of Tepeyac, just north of Mexico City, in 1531, that an Indian named Juan Diego saw an apparition he believed to be the Virgin Mary. The vision instructed him to have a church built on the spot, which had formerly been the cult-site of the Aztec Mother Goddess Tonantzin. At the time, the bishop disbelieved him, until the Virgin appeared for a third time and miraculously produced roses that Juan Diego presented to the bishop. As he did, the portrait of the Virgin appeared on Juan’s cloak. The shrine was built and is still a famous place of pilgrimage.

Saturday’s Witchery

Saturday’s Witchery

 

Saturday is a day filled with opportunities to clean up and clear out. So if you are wondering why Hecate is assigned to this day, take another look at what she symbolizes and the magick that is associated with her. That should answer the question.

Hecate was the oldest form of the Greek Triple Goddess, as she presided over heaven, the underworld, and earth. Crossroads where three roads met were especially sacred to Hecate, earning her the title of Hekate of the Three Ways. It’s interesting to note that even after the worship of other goddesses waned, ancient people still worshiped Hecate as the Queen of the Underworld and the Guardian of the Three-Way Crossroad. It was also believed that if you left her an offering of food there, she would grant you her favors. As Hecate Trivia, her triple images were often displayed at these crossroads, where she was petitioned on the full moon for positive magick and on the dark of the moon for cursing and dark magick.

While this last bit of information sounds a little ominous, keep in mind that Hecate/Hekate was known by many titles and is a shapeshifter. Her appearance could and did change often. As a dark moon goddess, her faces are many. To some she may appear as a old crone, hunched over a smoking cauldron and draped in a midnight cape. To others she may appear as a dark beautiful, mysterious, and mature woman wearing a shimmering crown. To some she may be perceived as a maiden priestess. She was called the “most lovely one,” the Great Goddess of Nature, and the Queen of the World of Spirits. This dark goddess knows her way around the earth and the underworld. All the powers of nature, life, and death are at her command.

Saturday

 

The planetary correspondence for Saturday is Saturn. Matters dealing with the public, farming, family ties, legal matters (such as wills and estates), taking care of debts, dealing with lawyers, financing, joint money matters, real estate, older people, banishing or binding negativity, and getting rid of bad habits all fall under the charge of Saturn. It’s easy to see why “Saturday’s child works hard for his living.”

Saturday’s angels are Cassiel, Machatan, Uriel, and Orifiel. Cassiel is the angel of solitudes and tears. He is one of the rulers of the planet Saturn and occasionally appears as the angel of patience. Cassiel links himself to dragon energy. Regarding Machatan, the only information we get is that he works well with Cassiel and is also a power of Saturn. Orifiel is an angel of the wilderness, a ruler of the second hour of the day, and also associated with Saturn.

On Saturday, the hour of sunrise and every eight hours after that are also ruled by Saturn, and that makes these times of the day doubly blessed. These four hours are the strongest four hours for conducting ritual. Check the local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac to determine your local sunrise.
