We are now out of “Maintenance Mode,” Please Read The Following Post, Thank You!

I know, I know, anything to get out of work, lol! No, just one of those things that has to be done every month. We will be back up and running tomorrow, I swear. I am also going to add some new merchandise to the store, Magickal Necessities later on today. We have several new items for Spring and we have got to get them on there or else, we will be stuck with them.

You know this morning when I came to the site, I was really surprised. I expected to see some comments on the post I made yesterday about the abortion law trying to be passed in Virginia. Not a single one. What? What’s up? I will admit it was a rather hot-headed rant but it seems at times that is the only way I can get things done. So if it was too hot-headed I apologize. I do have good news though, the governor of Virginia is now being asked to resign. It’s not over his abortion policies but over the black face/KKK photo of him from his year book. I listened to him give his apology speech and change his story about the photo. I have deducted the man is a swine. But I had already figured that out listening to his abortion laws that he wanted added to the pre-existing ones. Back to the topic at hand, he is being asked to resign which he refuses to do. If he stays in office, he will basically be a lame duck governor. He won’t be able to do anything or pass any legislation.

You know I got to wondering last night, if this whole mess with the photo is just a distraction from the abortion laws he is trying to get passed. I don’t trust politicians worth a damn and neither should you. I think the man needs to hit the road. I wonder if the people of Virginia knew what he was planning on doing when he got in office. I wonder if he told them, he was going to pass a law so newborn babies could be slaughtered. I don’t think so, who in their right mind would want that kind of animal to hold public office. I wouldn’t and I don’t believe most of you would either.

I have already been up and tracking down some useful information for us. I got the link to email the governor of Virginia. It is a direct link that goes straight to the Governor’s Office. I was just sort of wondering if perhaps while I am up-dating the sites, if you might do me a little favor. Email the bastard. The link I am going to give you has a spot so you can leave a comment. Now I am not telling you what to write, but……if you do, you could bring up the black face photo and you could throw in his views on abortion. Then perhaps, something like….

“Even though the Black Face photo is a hot button topic, the real reason I want him removed from office is because his views on abortion. Painting yourself up as another race is appalling in itself but the killing of newborn infants is criminal. With what has come to light in the past few weeks and months, you should resign your office immediately,” (or something like that). 

It is just an idea, but I hope you will write his office. He needs to go. He is dangerous and we don’t need these kind of people holding public office and dictating what rules we are to live by. You can go back through history and find dozens of examples of people just idly standing by watching others be killed. Are you willing to stand by and watch innocent babies being slaughtered? I sincerely hope not. If it gets started in this country, where will it end? Please follow the link and write to the Governor’s Office of Virginia and express your views on this man and his views. Get him out of office.

Now I am off to work, we will be back tomorrow in full force. Have a very blessed Sunday and please don’t forget to drop a line to the Governor of Virginia. This is a very important issue, probably more important than some of you realize. So please drop him a note and let him know how you feel. Thank you.

Love ya,

Lady of the Abyss

You Charged Up And Ready to Go Now….

Everybody else around here is sleeping in this morning. Right after the Sun came up and we greeted Him, you never saw like the witches flying for their cars, lol! Seriously! They were all so sleepy, they couldn’t wait to get home and go to bed. I offered for some of them to stay here and sleep if they wanted too but I believe they know me to well. I am a natural night owl. I always have been and probably always will be. So with all them gone home to take a long nap, you are stuck with me, you poor witch, lol!

Seriously, something has been bothering me and the more I hear about it, the more it bothers me. It is probably a subject I shouldn’t even bring up on this glorious morning but….since this is the season of rebirth and reawakening, it does seem appropriate, in a way. The topic I am referring to is abortion. I have always did my best to stay away from this topic but now I can’t, not anymore. I have very mixed feelings about the subject. I guess in one way, I might be considered pro-choice and on the other hand, I might not be. I can understand and approve of abortion if it involves rape, incest or the mother’s life is in danger. But have you been listening to some of the new proposals that some states are trying to pass on this issue.

If you haven’t, then you need to wake up and smell the coffee. In other words, pay close attention to what your state government leaders are trying to do in regards to the abortion laws. Not all of them, but some. I know in Kentucky, our governor hasn’t mentioned changing any of the state abortion laws. At one time, he did want to close all the abortion centers and that went over like a lead balloon. Our neighboring state, Virginia has taken a different stand on abortion and absolutely sickens me and it should you too. Ralph Northam is the governor of Virginia and I am sure you know him now in regards to the photo of him from school (the black face and KKK one). It seems this photo has overshadowed his views on abortion. I heard him speak on the radio the other day about his views on abortion. He wants to extend the length a mother can have an abortion, right up to the moment the woman is delivering a baby. He described it fully, the woman is in labor and has the baby and then the abortion can be done. I had to stop and think on that one. A woman gives birth to a living human being and then they decide if they want to do an abortion on this new life. What? He said if the baby needed to be revived they would revive it, if the mother decided to do that. Then they would make the infant as comfortable as possible while they decided if they wanted to terminate the life of the infant. He later went on to explain what he said had been taken out of context. He clarified if the baby had any defects that would effect the quality of life of the infant, then the decision to abort the infant would come up for discussion.

There is a lot of questions regarding this matter as far as I am concerned. My main one is that they are basically killing a living human being. I believe a fetus becomes a infant and a viable life at the moment of conception. Now you have this helpless, little infant laying in a nice comfortable bed, which of course, they have provided. They are going to make this infant as comfortable as possible(his words). Why? This proves to me that they consider it a life. But they only do this to turn around and ends its life. Doesn’t that go against the Oath a doctor takes. He is not to kill life, he is to try to protect it  and save it at any and all possible measures. So I can’t understand any doctor who upholds the Oath he took to become a doctor actually killing an infant, deformed or not. If he does, I know I sure wouldn’t want him for a doctor. Would you? Then if the parents decide they don’t want the baby because it is deformed there are other options besides killing the little baby. Yeah, I went from infant to a baby, because that is actually what it is, and they want to destroy it. There are millions of people who would love to have a baby. There are people who wouldn’t care if the baby was deformed, they would love it, care for it and give it the best life possible. Why kill it? That is the part I don’t understand. If a pregnant mother is in a car wreck and unfortunately, she and the baby are killed, if the right circumstances involving that wreck were there, they would charge the other driver with killing two individuals. The mother and the unborn child. But yet, you have this adorable, cooing little baby and they want to out and out kill it. What has happened to people? I truly want to know what the hell they are thinking.

Oh and the reason I am calling this to your attention is because it is not only in Virginia, I read this  morning New York is also considering this. It never fails if one can get away with it, then another will try it and so on and so on. As I mentioned earlier, I am for abortion in certain circumstance, rape, incest and the mother’s life being in danger but this new extension of abortion, NO! I cannot even imagine a doctor suggesting it. I would consider a doctor that does this and oh, by the way, one question that hasn’t been answered yet, how would they kill this infant. They want to call it abort, I call a spade a spade, they would be killing it. How do they plan on doing this? Knocking it in the head they way they do cows, ringing it neck like a chicken, sounds cruel. Murdering a new born child is cruel. We can’t let something like this go on it our society. We are taught to cherish and respect all life. There are no stipulations on that life whether it is deformed or not, we are taught to respect it, protect it and help it in anyway we can.

I want you to watch your governors. See what they are up too. Check out the bills they are trying to pass or the amendments they are trying to add to existing laws. One state tries, there will be others that follow and we can’t let that happen. We have to protect the innocent. We have to prevent these laws from being passed and added to the abortion laws. We have to get enraged. We have to get up off our asses and do whatever it takes to stop such hideous laws even being presented for consideration. If we don’t, we are no better than the doctors that will be killing these babies. We have to be the voice for the innocent, if not us, who then? The world has gone crazy and now with this new proposal on the table for abortion, if it passes then mankind is doomed. We will no longer be humans, we will be animals.

Watch your state governors for us. If you hear of any such proposals in your state, let us know. You know my position on this issue and I hope you agree with me. If you don’t, that is your right. But I guarantee you one thing, we will do everything in our power to prevent this law from being added to the states’ abortion laws.

Thank you for listening. I am sorry to bring this up on Imbolc but it has been eating at me and eating at me. It really got to me this morning when I was watching the Sun come up. I thought about those babies being aborted after being born. Never seeing such a beautiful sunrise as I saw today and I shed a tear. There are other ways of handling these unwanted babies. Let people who would care for them and love them have them. Then they would be given the chance to see the same beautiful sunrise I saw this morning.

Lady of the Abyss

 

Now after venting, I was informed the office aquarium stunk, so I have got to go clean it out. Hmm, that goes along with Imbolc, I will cleansing the tank. Good witch, good!

Get A Jump On Tomorrow, Your Daily Horoscope for Saturday, February 2

Your Daily Horoscope for Saturday, February 2

By Kelli Fox

Aries

March 21- April 19

You’re hardly in the mood to get down to business today, but buckle down anyway, and tackle whatever is on your to-do list. If you don’t, a pessimistic mood could set in before you know it. Soon you’ll be snapping at your coworker or spouse — and you’ll only regret it later. But working long and hard toward a particular goal that means a lot to you can help you avoid that type of issue.

Taurus

April 20-May 20

It’s time to start reining in your spending and eating habits. It’s just so easy for you to slip into excessive behaviours — spending too much on food and other treats for yourself and your friends, or eating far too many goodies at parties or in the break room at work. But today is a good day to get back on track. You’re feeling grounded and you know what to do.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

It could take time to get used to the new energy moving in today. You’re feeling less excited and excitable than you have been; you may even be in a slight slump. Any financial worries you may have don’t help much, either. If you’re concerned for your future or your career status, spend some time today revisiting your budget or making solid plans for your next big steps in life. You’ll feel better.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Today, serious doubts creep into your consciousness about money and the future. Suddenly, you’re feeling worried, especially if you know you’ve been living outside your means recently. But don’t waste too much time feeling pessimistic about your current financial or career status. Instead, sit down and make a plan to pay off any credit card debt and save money for the future. Establishing a solid plan will make you feel more in control.

Leo

July 23-August 22

There could be a stark contrast between recent fun and the sombre mood that descends over you today. Suddenly, life seems a little less colourful, and that may depress you. But try not to give in to discouraged thinking. Isn’t it good to have a little break from all the fun? Now you can get your budget under control and set up a plan to pay off credit card debt.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

A sober, hardworking mood sets in today, and you’re secretly glad — or, perhaps not so secretly. The frivolous fun and speculative ventures of the past few days have made you nervous, especially if spending extra money was involved. But now you can revisit your budget and get back on track, and this fills you with a sense of purpose. You’re comfortable working within limits you understand, so enjoy it today.

Libra

September 23-October 22

A sombre mood descends today, which is especially noticeable after the all fun of recent weeks. You might even feel a little down or discouraged, but if you tap into the side of your nature that responds well to the need for balance, you’ll feel better. Now you can make up for any recent excessive behaviours. That’s right, Libra — it’s time to start living within your means again. Make a plan and stick to it.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

You’re enjoying a surge of energy and purpose today. Even if you don’t have to go to the office or studio, you’re still thinking about work — what projects you plan to focus on next, and how much you’ll charge for your services. You have a strong sense of your own self-worth, and that’s a good thing. Creating a secure future means properly valuing the contributions you make to the world.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

Has the excitement of the past few days caught up with you? You’re certainly feeling a bit low-energy, which is unusual for you. Follow your body’s cues. Strike a balance today between being active and laying low. The current energy is both grounding and motivating, so spend the morning working quietly toward a long-term goal. Then get some endurance-based exercise in the afternoon, such as a long walk or run.

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

You’re starting a brand-new cycle of motion and motivation, one that will play out for the next month. What a wonderful, uncommon confluence of energies! Be sure to take advantage. You’re a master at achieving your goals, so take some steps toward a meaningful one today. Stay grounded, too. Keep up your energy with endurance-based exercise, such as running, walking or yoga.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

You’re a thinker by nature, but focus today on staying grounded in your body. Go for a long walk or do some yoga on your living room floor. Eat foods that are densely nutritious. Then focus on your future. It’s time to take some solid steps toward a more secure life, whether that means adjusting your budget, looking for a new, better job, enrolling in classes or anything else that will improve your standing.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

Low energy could catch up with you today. Maybe it’s all the recent fun, and the stress, too. Take today to rest and recuperate as much as your schedule allows. Be realistic about your feelings, your relationships and your general life situation, but avoid pessimistic thinking. If you slip into gloomy thoughts, distract yourself with practical tasks around the house, such as cleaning or balancing your checkbook.

Your Daily Horoscope for Friday, February 1

Your Daily Horoscope for Friday, February 1

By Kelli Fox

Aries

March 21- April 19

You may have to slow down a little today — not the easiest thing for someone whose instinct is to ram their way through life! But look on the bright side. All those little details you usually don’t have time for are much more noticeable when you’re not running at breakneck speed. And that fine print can make or break a deal in the long run, so do yourself a favour now and ease up on the gas.

Taurus

April 20-May 20

This should be a good day for you. You’re productive and practical, and being grounded feels right. Your timing is excellent, and you’re firm and steady. Others look up to you for advice, and it’s no wonder — not only do you give savvy pointers, you also encourage others and share your handy pool of resources. You’ll take yourself far today. Just remember to sleep tonight!

Gemini

May 21-June 21

Go briskly about your business today. Attend to the practical concerns of your life, no matter how widespread they might be. If you’re spreading yourself too thin, consider getting help. Make a list of the things you need assistance with, and then keep your eyes open. Someone may cross your path who meets your needs. Be ready to approach them with a sensible offer when they come along.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Devote yourself today to creating a secure future for yourself and your loved ones. Whether that means putting money in the bank, cleaning your home or office, or taking care of business and personal relationships, you’re all over it. If outer circumstances don’t force you to take charge of these matters, your ‘inner parent’ will. There’s just no escaping the sense of duty and devotion today.

Leo

July 23-August 22

Your leadership skills are tested today, as some person or condition in your life forces you to hold the line. Look at it this way: You’re exercising your inner strength and character. Just like building muscle mass, these qualities get stronger when you use them, so look at this as an opportunity to assert your authority and position. People look up to you when you do.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

Work is an intense, focused endeavour today. Details are no match for your hawk-like vision or your attention to the fine print. You’ll leave others in the dust as you work circles around them, barely taking a break. You subsist on snacks, even when there’s a full lunch spread in the conference room — you’re just too busy to partake! Take a deep breath, ground yourself and take a break. You’ll actually get more done that way.

Libra

September 23-October 22

You want to be liked, respected and admired by your peers. You aren’t going for glory, but you do want your efforts on behalf of others to be noticed and appreciated. Today, apply yourself to this seemingly invisible work, and trust that it’s less invisible than you realise. Important people are seeing what you’re up to, and you do a lot of good when you use your energy to help people less fortunate than you.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

You feel good about being so in control of your life today. You feel a solid sense of satisfaction as you roll up your sleeves and get to work. With this attitude, you can get a lot done. Organise yourself early by making a prioritise list of all your tasks, and check each one off as you accomplish it. You’ll make great headway today, and sleep really well tonight.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

Do more than just dream about the future. Now, while your creative energy is strong, think seriously about what you really want to do, create or achieve in the coming weeks, months and years. Picture yourself in the future and consider what you need to do now to make it happen. Let this guide your decisions in the foreseeable future, so your dream becomes tangible reality.

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

You’re forging ahead with great energy, surefooted as you head toward your goals. Moving forward at this slow, steady pace, you’re sure to make substantial gains by the end of the day. Of course, you’ve kept up this effort for several days now. By evening, call it good enough. Rest your body, even if your mind doesn’t want to cooperate. Remember practical activities like exercising, eating and sleeping. These are important for keeping your body strong.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

You’re squirming today against some external attempt to confine your movements or your creativity. Of course, you’re ultra-sensitive to any type of restriction, so this certainly doesn’t sit well with you. Whether it’s something as straightforward as a traffic jam or as complicated as a relationship doesn’t matter. It’s not the exact situation that matters as much as your reaction to it. Go for the mature, civilised approach today.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

Be sure to come down to earth for at least a little while before the day is over. You’re drifting through life in your usual state of dreamy wonder, despite the serious atmosphere surrounding you, and it’ll be hard to keep your feet on the ground. At least everyone who knows you knows what to expect, so they’ll be tolerant if you seem a little spaced out.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

A strong positive self image is the best possible preperation for success.  You said you would support those you love and you did. In fact you lost most of the time last year for you by doing so.  Now it’s your time and the sooner you take this fact on board, the happier you will be and the less guilty you will feel.  Being on time or first meetings, be they professional or personal is essential to their success and you’ll understand why soon enough.   A  place from your past comes to mind with someone who contacts you.  Ring now to hear why this could be the reason you should make a trip!

 

 

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

There seems to be far too much pressure on you lately and you would be wise to enter this month with a firm plan in mind as to what needs to take priority.  Being fair to younger faces is vital to your success or they could shut you out for months and not just weeks to come.  Saturn brings good news regarding the situation of an older face you have not been able to be as much help to lately.  Life is beginning to take on some semblance of order and I think you’re going to love the organised chaos that is ahead.  Ring now to hear what I think is making you so forgetful lately.

Your Darks Stars Horoscopes for the Month of February

Your Darks Stars Horoscopes for the Month of February

Jane Lyle, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

ARIES

All change! Your energy source, Mars, moves into money-minded Taurus on Valentine’s Day, chiming with magnetic Venus in Capricorn for some major financial focus this February. It’s Lunar New Year too (4th-5th), with a new Moon sparking new starts for your contacts, shared projects, and group creativity. Between 20th – 24th of the month some serious propositions or turning points crop up for many of you. You’ll be thinking about your relationships, and what you’ve invested in them in emotional, practical, and financial terms. Some of those connections will be professional, others may be about family or partners. What would you like to change? What do you need to say to someone? Everything’s up in the air between 9th – 14th February, so avoid over-reacting then. Answers become clear by the beginning of March, meanwhile, take it one step at a time and resist impulsive decisions. You need more information before you can finalise your long-term plans. You may have to wait until April, but it will be worth it.

 

TAURUS

Mars returns to Taurus for the first time since March 2017. It puts a spring in your step, but may prompt argumentative encounters with others too. Perhaps you need to air your views or speak your mind to someone? Take care though, as the beginning of February is a fertile moment for your career, your hopes, and your wishes. If you fancy studying something, planning a trip, or working with foreign companies, this is a lively and interesting phase for you. You could impress someone who’ll help you, or receive funding or cash for a special project. Towards the end of the month, with the Sun in musical, creative Pisces, there’s plenty of inspiration, smiling faces, or even romantic moments. What happens then crystallises around the glamorous new Moon at the beginning of March. So why not keep your eyes on those gorgeous far horizons, and see where they might take you? Surprising yourself and others is one of 2019’s big themes.

 

GEMINI

You’ll want a wider world this February – exploring something or somewhere new is irresistible, especially early in the month. The upbeat new Moon (4th) brings interesting possibilities for you and those close to you. You could be discussing a holiday, or an old friend or partner may be offered a job in another town or country. Expect the unexpected between 9th – 14th February, and be prepared to change your plans or accept spontaneous offers and invitations. Much news and gossip follows, so keep an open mind and hold off on making big commitments if you possibly can. Shared finances tend to spring surprises, and shared projects are also liable to shift and change quite rapidly all month long. You love change, so should be able to surf the waves with your usual flair. The new Moon in early March brings powerful intuitive, glamorous energies, and many of you will want to be free to see where that takes you. The world’s your oyster.

 

 

CANCER

Your everyday life brings a smile to your face early in February. You could find a new way to generate cash, or discover that something you own is more valuable than you ever imagined. Partners in love, and at work, play an important role too – with helpful, positive changes growing from conversations, particularly towards the end of February. You could have to make some swift decisions at that time, or find your career direction takes an unexpected turn. February’s new Moon (4th) and full Moon (19th) bring surges of energy for you to use as you wish. The new Moon in Aquarius would be helpful for any creative projects and money-making schemes, while the Virgo full Moon is chatty, thought-provoking, and favours communication and writing. Once Mars is in Taurus, from Valentine’s Day until the end of March, you can start to firm up plans involving others – whether that’s a big personal celebration, or a work or neighbourhood project.

 

LEO

The Sun in your opposite sign, Aquarius, means that you’re at one of those annual astrological turning points. It’s a helpful moment to look back over the past six months, and see what you’re pleased with and what you’d like to change. You can take advantage of the new Moon on 4th February to write a wish list, or clear out anything that’s cluttering up your mind or home. Some potent fiery energy flows from Mars in Aries, Uranus in Aries, and Jupiter in free-spirited Sagittarius, so why not warm yourself and your sunny spirit beside the planetary fireside? A little time to dream about the year ahead could be so productive, and if your creativity and playful nature has been stifled in any way you’ll feel revitalised. Continue to keep an eye on what you value most, and be cautious when it comes to your finances – including lending money to anyone.

 

VIRGO

One of the big keys to progress this spring is found in your relationships and connections. A love relationship could be moving into a more committed phase, or your working life benefits in many ways from teamwork and partnerships. What’s not working out for you can be tweaked and talked about, or ended altogether. And with magnetic Venus in Capricorn, you can channel fresh imagination into your romantic and creative life. The days between the 15th – 24th are rich with potential, energy and intensity, with that Virgo full Moon (19th) marking a good moment for sweeping away the remains of last year and making space for new beginnings. Keep communicating, for with Mercury in sensitive Pisces others will be keen to discuss things with you. When Mars enters Taurus on the 14th, the down-to-earth side of your personality is even more enhanced and supported. You’ll have time to fine-tune everything in March when Mercury is retrograde. Meanwhile, why not dream big?

 

LIBRA

There’s a big emphasis on your home, roots, family and partners this month. Certain things are due to be refreshed or changed, with some of you planning a move and others exploring your DNA story or family history. You could work from home more often, or find ways to make money from your home. These are ongoing themes for much of this year – so expect some transformations, whether dramatic or low-key. Any spiky moments with partners should settle down once Mars enters Taurus on sweet Valentine’s Day, but someone close could talk or act out of character and surprise you before the end of the month. Your naturally romantic, artistic nature is boosted by a lively new Moon in Aquarius (4th), so do grab some time for yourself and allow these feelings to bloom a little. You’ve got a lot on your plate too, and probably need to cut back a bit – what’s needed should be in sharp focus between 12th – 23rd February.

 

SCORPIO

Your past has much to say to you this month. And for many Scorpios it’s helpful to talk things through with close partners in love, or at work. If you’ve been playing your cards close to your chest, even more reason to be a little more open about what you think and feel. You’re on the brink of a new phase for all your connections, and this is just the start. You have much charm, creativity, and intuitive understanding bubbling up this month, and once the Sun enters dreamy Pisces (18th) you’ll benefit from nurturing that magnetic side of yourself. Towards the end of February and beginning of March you’ll see how things might develop in love, with any children you might have, or with creative projects you’re involved in. This is a good time for shared projects, but you may feel as if you haven’t got the control you usually prefer. Yet things are very much in transition, so wise Scorpios will step aside and not try to push the river.

 

SAGITTARIUS

If you need a fortunate moment to begin something, a beautiful link between the Sun and Jupiter between 6th – 9th February is an optimistic moment to pick. The new Moon in Aquarius on the 4th also radiates interesting possibilities for you, and looks like a positive time to promote yourself, get in touch with people, or write about what you’re doing. Jupiter may be wildly expansive in Sagittarius, but you do need to co-operate with what’s going on in the cosmos, and work with it. Those fabulous feel-good vibrations can simply make you dreamy, vague, greedy or lazy! Know that you can attract all the help you need if you reach out and clarify what you want. Sorting out money matters or pushing your hopes forward goes well with Venus in Capricorn, but again – aim for as much clarity and definition as you can. Neptune is bringing you glamour and intuitive moves, but also confusion and chaos if you don’t pay attention. As you head for a pivotal new Moon at the start of March, get all your ducks in a row and all will be well.

 

CAPRICORN

The prevailing astrological weather is still quite earthy, with Venus, Saturn and Pluto in your sign. And Mars offers practical drive and support from the 14th when he enters money magnet Taurus for a good long stay. So you’re all set to weather the bumpy bits this month, particularly those involving your home, family, and perhaps your wider “family” at work. These awkward moments are most likely during the first two weeks, so if you need to schedule important meetings, home repairs, or family discussions, it could be wise to wait until just after mid-month. You can be extra charming and persuasive then, particularly if your work involves health care, the arts, charity or entertainment. A lovely link between Mars and the Sun ends February with a stunning view or revelation of some kind. Even if it’s only a photo, the vista you’ll see is one that will come to mean a great deal to you later on this year.

 

AQUARIUS

Your birthday month stretches from 20th January to 18th February, when the Sun moves into flexible Pisces. An energetic new Moon in Aquarius gives you another “new year” boost on the 4th too, and is a wonderful time to make plans or create a wish list. So what would you like to do this year? Why not let your imagination run free for a while? Yes, you’ve got responsibilities and limitations, but there could be all sorts of possibilities you haven’t allowed yourself to consider. Some of those contain the seeds of a more fulfilling life. Inspiration flows your way between the 10th – 18th, when spontaneous meetings, conversations with friends, or short journeys are full of potential if you care to look for it. Your mighty ruler, Uranus, is changing signs in March bringing echoes of last summer for some of you, and opening up a new era for all.

 

PISCES

The Sun enters Pisces on 18th February, beginning your birthday month. Before that, you’ll probably want to review the past year and mull over what’s happened, or what’s not happened. If you need to let go of anything – from a shabby old jumper to an unhelpful situation – then the full Virgo Moon on 19th February is a good time to begin. There’s a powerful, magical new Moon in Pisces on 6th March just overflowing with inspiration – if you create a clear path over the next few weeks, you’ll be ready to take full advantage of this potent moment. Others are ready to help you too, with old friends and contacts keen to see you, make useful suggestions, or even offer you some interesting opportunities. Generous Jupiter in Sagittarius brings a positive glow to your hopes and wishes this year, but of course you must take practical steps towards making things happen. Lady Luck is on your side, and if you work with her you can achieve miracles.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for February 1

COSMIC CALENDAR

Themes associated with the asteroid Vesta are energized due to this celestial orb entering Pisces (3:05 a.m.) and then quickly forming a frictional, 45-degree link to Saturn in Capricorn (3:33 a.m.). Focus your attention on safety and security measures, home and hearth, investments and insurance coverage, as well as sisterhood bonds and fellowship gatherings. Nurturing loved ones with a tender touch makes sense in sync with Mercury forming an inspirational, 72-degree tie with maternal Ceres (7:01 a.m.) and Juno contacting Neptune via the same type of 72-degree rapport (1:36 p.m.).

Steer clear of rising tensions and emotional upheavals later on since Mars in Aries squares off with Pluto in Capricorn (7:21 p.m.), the moon in Capricorn makes its monthly conjunction with karmic Saturn (10:58 p.m.), and the sun in Aquarius forms an abrasive, 45-degree liaison with Venus in Sagittarius (11:23 p.m.). Keep a safe distance from temperamental souls by becoming a studious hermit.

Prepare for Chinese New Year – Thriving in Year of Earth Pig or Boar

Prepare for Chinese New Year – Thriving in Year of Earth Pig or Boar

As you prepare for the Earth pig or boar year and the next steps on your path, I suggest being mindful of breakthroughs available in these moments of revolutionary change. The current energies indeed support breakthroughs and shifts in outmoded viewpoints. Continue reading to understand how you can benefit most from this juncture.

About Breakthroughs

Since we are continually evolving, breakthroughs are a typical part of our process. Sometimes they are more obvious, other times more subtle. When we stay conscious and awake to what’s unfolding in our lives, we learn the art of discerning our own breakthroughs. Examples: (1) waking up with the answer to a long-standing dilemma (2) engaging in a heart-to-heart conversation with a loved one after weeks of distance or combativeness (3) realizing when approaching self-care that all of a sudden it seems simple to do what’s needed for optimal well-being.

Have you ever noticed feeling uplifted when you became aware that a challenging issue now has a solution? Sometimes the breakthrough is less obvious than this – like when you feel softer towards a person you have had words with, or when you reach an undetermined milestone needed to anchor a new habit and you feel less resistance to doing things the new way. Awareness is key to making the most of breakthroughs. When you realize you are having one, regardless of how small, this can encourage you to take the next appropriate steps. Being mindful of how you are shifting into a more positive direction can boost your frequency too. These responses can help you keep the momentum going.

Thriving in Earth Pig or Boar Year

Chinese New Years each have their own energy. The Earth pig or boar year officially starting February 5 has a focus on abundance and enjoying life. There is definitely a lighter tone in pig years. Playfulness and humor are often associated with such a year. For individuals, the impact depends on their own energy and approach to life along with level and application of spiritual mastery.

In general, to thrive in the pig year requires a certain skill set and mindset.

First, given the emotional roller coaster being experienced in 2019 – with lots of anger surfacing – it is vital to take the high road of spirit and stay in one’s heart. Not always easy to be sure, but important. Words will take on more importance this year – the words used, the tone, the timing, and the delivery. Mindfulness with words, therefore, is paramount. When angry or just upset, calm down before you send that text or see someone. Consider the long-term consequences of your words and actions. Factor in energy cycles, too, because some of those can get you off center. More on working with the year’s energy cycles in my new “Predictions 2019” eBook.

Second, use the abundance focus of this year to get your “house of money” in order. That means becoming more mindful and conscious about finances, income, spending and the priorities. Don’t forget to factor in vital self-care like good nutrition, exercise, meditation, body work and inner work – these things will nourish you, keep you going and help you to maintain a positive flow. Get up close and personal with your money to make it work for you. If you realize you have “money issues,” get help addressing them at a DNA level. Much of the dysfunction in our society regarding money has roots in the DNAThe dysfunction is typically on the following levels: early life conditioning, ancestral patterns, soul level themes from past lives, and the mass consciousness of humanity. Each time you heal a money pattern, because it will also be in the mass consciousness, you help heal humanity at large and so that society can change in big ways.

Third, invite a sense of play and fun into everyday situations – personal and work. This will help you enjoy even mundane things, raise your frequency higher, and bring in more abundance. As you become more abundant, connect with a knowing of how to grow your bank account or business and ways you can share your abundance with others. Sharing can be financial or through other means – like sharing of your time, expertise, and deep listening. Growing your business can involve updating how you do things so your approach fits with new ways people connect and do business. This updating can be crucial to success this year and beyond.

Remember daily the bigger picture of why you are alive and how you can be an integral part of humanity’s awakening. Allow that higher awareness to sit in the forefront of your mind as you go about your day. Trust that in the simple act of doing this, you are helping to transform the world and contributing to your own enlightenment.

February 2019 Ascension Energies – Power Vision

The accompanying video to this article can be found here.

I hope your January was smooth, though there was a lot of chaos around. That is certainly the way of change sometimes (or often for some!). January’s energy was all about being the calm in the storm, patient within change and staying balanced when life is pushing and pulling.

February feels rather fast-paced (of course!) and yet continues to support our empowered love growing stronger. It doesn’t happen all at once, and it’s not always easy. But Februarywill be a great focus for love’s grace to find space within your heart and mind.

Have a wonderful February!
Much Love,
Jamye

January Review

January’s energy of Patience was a powerful preparation for February. I feel the energy of February as fast-moving twists and turns. Like the spiral of creation is folding in on itself and breaking apart in ways that create a more cohesive flow. Eventually.

Since October there has been an intense strengthening of the inner structure, and February is no different. As your inner realm is sovereign and clearer, your power of love is amplified. You are a powerful “space” for new potential.

The interaction with time is shifting strongly as well, though I feel this as quite a smooth transition at this time. The potential of the future is within your present. The present is the power of the past in linear experience. Your patience creates a powerful present moment that informs a new future.

Power

February asks you to strengthen your ability to perceive a new potential for the future in your present moment. It asks you to perceive yourself through your power that has grown you through time. Your power is an energy from the past. This linear experience has given you opportunities to discover your capability. As you observe your power or your past, look for the evidence of your capability and nurture it.

To honor your power, you are being called to value your inner sanctity and have the fortitude to maintain healthy boundaries.

Your inner power is the amplifier of your energy. In physicality, in density, there is a natural drag of creation through time. Your momentum must be nurtured and replenished to sustain. Here power meets vision.

Vision

In order to sustain momentum toward manifestation, vision becomes a connection to what has yet to manifest. One aspect of Ascension is shifting into a greater usage of the brain. Changing your reactions and perceptions is important to holding the space of potential within.

It doesn’t always feel blissful. There may be doubts. Your vision is the subtle connection that begins to manifest through your creative focus. February energies will influence the third eye and the throat chakra strongly.

Your you-nique perspective. There is great power in your uniqueness to life. The diversity allows the facets to reflect a brighter, clearer picture. You offer a fresh perspective, a unique facet, a new potential to life.

Part of your vision work is to imagine the future of love and empowerment. As you envision your future, you become a conduit for manifestation. Your focus on being fully present and holding a vision for the future, modifies your brain usage into less repetition of old, often unconscious, reactions. This enhances the frontal lobe to activate your creative nature.

Your overall resonance shifts into a higher vibration of love as you hold

Your choice to nurture that vision determines the future flow. Your choice is in the now. Your manifestation is in the future. Patience. That calm creative state of being open to flow.

February is a month of your Powerful Vision coming into focus. It may be moving fast. You don’t have to figure it all out. Just observe the present and find your unique perspective of love that offers a path of manifestation to your creative future of Love.

Monthly Astro-Forecasts February 2019

Monthly Astro-Forecasts February 2019

Message for February 2019

It’s hard to believe we’re already in February! The festive period feels like it was only yesterday, but the daffodils are already bursting up into the sunlight waiting for their opportunity to carpet the landscape vibrant hues of yellow. Despite the darkness of the winter, the light always finds ways of shining through. It’s as though the seasons have become confused and they are slowly merging and losing their definition.

There is a sense that we are currently experiencing a ‘collision’ of moments: a time where winter and spring co-exist. This is a powerful reflection of our own transformations as we are in-between where we were and where we’re heading, but we’re also in both places at the same time. Some could argue that we’re also in neither place as well, but let’s leave the mind bending for another day. This collision of moments reflects a setting free of many layers of the pain and grief that’s been lodged deep within our hearts and souls. Before we can set it free, it all has to merge, collide and rise up, an exquisitely intense experience, but cathartic at the same time.

Whilst we may intuitively sense the transitional nature of this collision, there are a great many souls lost and alone in the mêlée who need compassion, support and love. Of course, it’s not always easy offering this to others, particularly if their own particular evolution involves hate or judgement as these can often reach a fever pitch before any realisations are made or peace is found. It would be easy to turn our backs on those who hate and those who judge, but this only creates more division as the world fragments. It’s undoubtedly hard to feel compassionate for some of the behaviours we see in the world today, and it can be so difficult when we are each experiencing our own chaotic eruption of change, but the more we can open up our hearts and souls, the more hope we discover. We live in an ever increasingly isolated world, where souls are becoming disconnected and alone, and we need the glue of compassion to bring us back together again.

Deep within each of us is a darkness that so few of us are willing to touch. We may fear it will implode if we grow too close as the world, as we know it, may be shattered forever. We may fear the walls we have built over the years will collapse and we will become vulnerable to life, but the only true way to peace is through heartfelt vulnerability. Vulnerability isn’t weakness, it’s courage, it’s passion and it’s a willingness to show our cracks and imperfections.

We may live in confusing times, and this ‘collision’ of moments is both bewildering and overwhelming, but it’s a part of our story, and so whilst the snow sits on the ground with the spring daffodils bursting forth, it’s a good time to lovingly accept the amazing and confounding beauty of being alive…

For now, I wish you all kinds of wonderful.

With love,

Sarah-Jane

Aries

As you continue to re-shape and re-define your sense of self, there is a sense that you are beginning to understand yourself and your motivations on a much deeper level. Whilst you’ve always had a sense as to why you do the things you do, sometimes you frustrate yourself for repeating the same old cycles. Of course, it’s human nature to act out of habit or conditioning, but it frustrates you as you have been working so hard to break free from the cycles that have shaped and defined your life for so long. It’s not that you’re unhappy, but you have reached a stage on your life journey when being true to yourself is deeply important to you as you’ve realised that it’s self-truth that paves the way to inner balance and enlightenment. You are a passionate and compassionate soul, always seeking out ways to express your exuberant energy and enthusiasm through creative adventures and innovative ideas. It’s important for you to have the freedom to express this energy in the many different areas of your life as this is your way of connecting with life.

As previously mentioned, you can find it hard to back track or do a u-turn in life as you struggle with the feeling that you may be letting others down. However, you have realised that unless you honour your own needs more, you end up out of kilter, disconnected from your fiery and passionate nature. February is often a difficult month when it comes to continuing with your goals and dreams for the year as the initial exuberance has waned and life has started to get in the way, however, you intuitively know how important it is to create change this year, so take a deep breath and let your creativity lead the way…

Taurus

As the fire in your belly continues to heat up and burn more brightly, there is a sense that you are beginning to gain a clearer sense as to the tweaks and adjustments you need to make in order to establish stronger clarity when it comes to living the life you were born to live. You have spent a great deal of time bending and flexing your life to accommodate the needs, wishes and desires of others, but this has come at a cost of your own needs and wishes. Whilst you are strong enough to say ‘No!’ when needed, there is a sense that your resolve has faded slightly over the years and you have become far more accommodating than you naturally feel comfortable with. This isn’t to say that you need to start saying ‘No!’ at every opportunity, it’s simply a reminder for you to start acting more consciously and in tune with your heart and soul.

You are well-known for your somewhat impulsive nature, often acting before you think; it’s not that you’re self-focused, far from it in fact, it’s more that you can become so lost in the daily distractions of life that you forget to use your phenomenal intuition to guide you. It’s easy to do as your life is often too busy and full of things to do, people to see and places to go that you simply don’t have the time to step back and regain your perspective. The message for February is therefore clear: listen to your inner self more and try taking your time. Even just a deep breath before you make a decision can help you to keep things in perspective and ensure that you are taking your own needs into account. You matter, and it’s time to realise this now…

Gemini

February looks set to be a month of inspired thought and creative vision as you continue to create more breathing space in your life. You’re coming to realise that the life you are living is, in fact, the life you are meant to be living, so instead of seeking out a different reality, you are more accepting of the path you have walked as you can see just how strong and wise the journey has made you. Yes, you’ve faced challenges and you’ve also walked along some dark alleyways and faced some dead-ends, but you have transformed into something far greater. In short, you are more than the sum of your experiences as you have allowed your journey to act as a pathway for your personal evolution. Of course, all of this wisdom hasn’t stopped you from over-thinking and over-analysing everything!

You will always be a deep thinker and philosopher as it’s a part of your DNA, and whilst this has enabled you to explore why things are the way they are, it has also sometimes seen you tied up in knots, unable to move forward until you find ‘the answer’. Yes, you know that you can’t always find the answers to the many questions you have floating around the vast chasms of your consciousness, but this doesn’t stop you trying anyway! Yet, it seems that the more you let go of chasing those answers, the more you will find a greater sense of inner peace, and it’s within this inner peace where the true wisdom resides. In fact, you are far more likely to discover ‘the answer’ when you stop looking for it. This is your time to discover a new pathway to being you, it’s time to love yourself wholeheartedly and to love the life you live…

Cancer

As you continue to contemplate ‘what’s next’ in your life, there is a sense you are beginning to think more deeply about the life you’ve lived, the life you’re living and the life you’d still like to live. It seems you have become stuck in something of a rut lately, running on the hamster wheel of life, trying to keep on keeping on. There is a whiff of the mundane in many areas of your life as you seem to have lost touch with the magic and sparkle of your more creative side. Yet, the more you think about ‘what’s next’, the more your inner sparkle is twinkling and, like the daffodils turning to face the morning sun, there is a sense of passion rising up from within you as you seek sustenance from the light within. This light within you shines brightly; it’s the force within you that inspires you to face challenges innovatively. And it gives you the strength and vitality to explore your dreams.

However, it seems clear that the everyday distractions leave you feeling disconnected from your inner life and this makes it hard for you to tap into the deep well of inspiration and passion within your heart and soul. Whilst this distraction undoubtedly makes it harder to create the space you need, it’s also easy to feel that it’s unpractical to indulge in such things as you simply don’t have the time for dreams. That practical side of you can be very dismissive at times! This is your life and your inner well is a part of you. Yes, you may be busy, but you also owe it to yourself to live the best life possible and to allow your ponderings of ‘what’s next’ to grow and evolve into a brand-new dawn…

Leo

February looks set to be a month of continued letting go of a great many of those ought’s, must’s and should’s that have shaped and defined your life for so long. You have felt weighed down over recent months (and years), carrying more and more ‘stuff’, trying to be the person you felt you ought to be, and trying to be everything to everyone. You have often placed your own needs to one side in order to help and support others, and you have frequently given (well, over given) your time, energy and focus away from yourself and towards others. Whilst this is admirable, over time, you’ve realised how out of balance you’ve become, and you’ve been trying to find ways of addressing this imbalance in order to live in a more enriching way. This quest has naturally taken you towards the bigger picture of your life as you have been keen to gain some clarity as to what changes you need to make (and how).

Your bigger picture is where all of your passion and inspiration reside, it’s your vision of your life where you are living life fully and wholeheartedly. Yet, there is a part of you that struggles to look beyond the here and now as you are so focused on those ought’s and must’s, and these have captured your focus and attention. You have never been one for shirking your responsibilities and still feel that you should still be able to do everything for everyone and still follow your own dreams. Whilst this isn’t impossible, intuitively you know that you have to make some changes, and create some space, if you are to start living more in accordance to your heart and soul. This is a perfect moment to re-shape and re-define your life from the inside, out…

Virgo

As you continue to contemplate what you truly want in your life, there is a sense you are beginning to open up to the idea that life isn’t about everything you do, want to do or need to do, it’s about being yourself and acknowledging all that you are. ‘All that you are’ may sound a bit vague and woolly for your liking, but it’s hard to find words that capture the essence of a feeling. After all, how can one condense and distil something into common language that is unique to every soul? ‘All that you are’ is a state of being where you are allowing your true sense of self to flow freely and giving yourself the freedom to express your uniqueness with passion and vibrancy. Knowing what you truly want in life is also important as you move through February, as unless you have a good sense as to your true priorities, it’s hard to create the expansive energy you need in order to carve out a new landscape which will allow you to explore your hopes and dreams.

Whilst you may still have a keen awareness of the gap between where you are and where you want to be, it seems you are beginning to find a sense of peace knowing that there will always be a gap, as that’s a part of being a vibrant, evolving human. There will always be a horizon to reach as you change and evolve with each passing day, but your acceptance of this is a sign that you are finding peace and harmony within and thriving despite the uncertainty the gap may sometimes bring. This will allow you to go even deeper within in order to gauge not only what you truly want from life, but how to achieve it as well…

Libra

February looks set to be a month for you to begin the process of re-calibrating your inner scales as they have grown a little inaccurate over time. You may feel slightly indignant at this suggestion, after all, your scales are the epitome of all that you represent, but don’t take this personally, it’s just an inevitable part of being human. Time creates shift and your scales need re-calibrating because you’re not the same person you were last month or last year. Whilst scales may always be scales, measurements do shift over time within your consciousness as your perception alters and the humdrum chatter of life can distort the view. Some inner re-calibration is a good thing though as it’s a perfect opportunity for you to regain some clarity and focus. When life gets busy or stressful, it’s easy for you to lose your inner poise resulting in your scales going haywire. This is why it’s sometimes much harder for you to make decisions as your scales are swinging around wildly.

People often see you as indecisive, but nothing could be further from the truth. You can see every single possible outcome of every single possible choice and it can be completely overwhelming at times. Yes, this is how you function in your everyday life, but even you have your moments when it gets a bit much. Your scales can help you to sift through this wealth of information easily, but when they’re out of kilter, it can be hard for you to think clearly. Even though your mind moves at a million miles an hour, your scales are perfectly still, poised and always ready for use, as these guide you through life. So, honour those scales and be open to some re-calibration as it’s a good opportunity to re-shape and re-define the essence of being you…

Scorpio

As you continue to ride the learning curves of life with courage and wisdom, there is a sense that you are beginning to expand your consciousness as you focus on the experience of being you. This may sound slightly odd, after all, you are already you, so how do you know how to differentiate between the experience that’s unique to you and everything else? Well, try not to overthink this, instead open up your heart and soul in order to feel your way. Being you can be challenging and confusing at times, but it’s also wonderful, magical and delicious as well. You are a vibrant and intuitive soul, acutely aware of the multi-layered nature of existence, always seeking out new understanding and meaning to the often bewildering things that life presents. Being you can be both confusing and amazing in a single moment.

February looks set to shift your focus towards the difference between living and being alive. On the surface, they appear to be the same, but being alive suggests a willingness to be fully conscious and awake, fully engaged and living wholeheartedly. Living is more about keeping on keeping on, turning the wheel and getting from a to b. The difference is succinct and it’s important to think about this now as you have spent a long time living your life, but you seem ready now to engage more consciously in order to live more wholeheartedly. You have a wise head on your shoulders, your intuition knows no boundaries, your depths are endless, and you thrive whilst riding on the crests of the waves in life. Yet, life often sees you erring on the side of caution, uncertain as to how to channel the magic within. It’s time to start believing in yourself and to realise that you truly are amazing…

Sagittarius

There can be no denying that you are always busy with things to do, people to see, places to go and goals to achieve. You seem to function best on fast forward, rarely pausing for long enough to take a big deep breath. Of course, you thrive when busy as you need momentum to flourish; being static leads to disconnection and disarray in your heart and soul. Yet, you seem to be so busy all of the time, it seems important to ask yourself just how much of your ‘to do’ list is truly, hand-on-heart, necessary? You seem to be so caught up in the distraction of having so much to do that you don’t spend much time discerning between what’s necessary and the ‘stuff’ that distracts you. Whilst distractions can be good, too many of them can clutter up your life and prevent you from being the free spirit you know yourself to be.

You have spent a great deal of time trying to make sense of the different facets of your life, unravelling the knots in order to gain a deeper understanding of what makes you tick. Whilst this has enabled you to make some powerful choices on your path in life, too much focus on the details has also taken you away from your bigger picture. You really do need a sense of your bigger picture as this brings your vision to life, instilling energy into your dreams. So, it seems that establishing a deeper sense of balance needs to be your focus on February in order to bring together the different facets of your being to help you to sort the wheat from the chaff when it comes to what’s truly important and what’s not. At the same time, let go of the distractions and give your free spirit the room to dance…

Capricorn

There is a sense that you are beginning to see your path ahead with fresh eyes. As a result, your perspective is shifting and the things that once seemed so important now seem less so as you realise that it’s not the ‘to do’ list that will bring you what you need, instead it’s a willingness to focus on the desire to be contented, joyful and happy that will allow you to live your life in more enriching ways. Sometimes, focusing on the details prevents you from feeling your way forward in life. You’re a deeply intuitive soul, but you often park this for good old-fashioned ‘common sense’. Now, whilst common sense has its place, so does your intuition! You may be a realist at heart, but you are also a visionary and it’s about time you accepted this of yourself. You are a vibrant and courageous soul, and although you know this, it’s easy for you to dismiss it in order to focus on the business of keeping on keeping on.

It’s time to shift the focus away from your ‘to do’ list and towards living the best life possible. This isn’t about shirking your responsibilities or being irresponsible, it’s about honouring yourself and your needs much more. You have spent so long focusing on what you need to do that you have forgotten the passion within you and you’re ready now to set this free in order to explore unchartered terrain in your life. There is a sense that you have reached a crossroads, one where you are finally realising that your long-held dreams are not lost, they have just been gathering dust on the shelf deep within your heart and soul. This is an amazing opportunity for you to pull back the curtains, grab the duster and let your dreams breathe freely once again…

Aquarius

You have spent a great deal of time over the years exploring the meaning of life: pondering why things are the way they are and trying to make sense of yourself, your path and your purpose. There have always been many things to see, be, achieve and do, as well as even more to contemplate and explore, and there have been times when you have found yourself tangled up in loops trying to unravel the knots, but creating more in the process. Of course, this is a part of life and whilst you accept this, it frustrates you at the same time. You have always had a sense of a greater purpose in your life: a feeling that you haven’t, as yet, fully understood why you are the way you are. At the same time, you have asked yourself if you’re truly happy and if you are living the life you were born to live. So many questions, but the answers have often proved far more elusive.

On some level, you feel unable to fully embrace your life until you get a clearer sense as to the answers, but intuitively you know that the answers may never be as complete as you would like as life simply doesn’t work that way. You therefore find yourself stuck in the middle of a conundrum, knowing you can’t make sense of it all, but not feeling able to wholeheartedly grab hold of life until you have the answers. No one ever said being you was easy! Yet, this is perhaps too simplistic a perspective because, despite the confusion, you have embraced life and you’re striding boldly towards your dreams. It’s time to find a deeper sense of inner peace now, to let go of the frustration and to accept that you can still flourish and thrive even without all of the answers…

Pisces

February looks set to be a month of embracing a new way of living and being as you begin to let go of some long-held beliefs about your role in life. Just about every cell of your being is generous and giving; you think nothing of sacrificing your own needs and wants for the sake of others. This has brought you great reward over the years, but there is a piece of your soul that withers slightly under the immense burden you have created for yourself. You will always give to others as that’s a part of your genetic make-up, but there’s a sense you have reached a kind of critical mass and intuitively you know that you need to make some big decisions about the ways in which you give if you are to obtain a richer sense of balance and harmony in your life.

In some ways you measure your own happiness and contentment based on how much you do for others and whilst giving so much of yourself brings you great reward, you know you deserve to focus more on your own needs now. You seem ready to cross a new threshold, one that still leaves you room for giving, but one that also allows you to take some much-needed time out to focus on your true priorities and to re-ignite the passion and creativity that’s residing deep within the core of your being. It’s also time to let go of some of those storylines you’ve created where you measure your own sense of worth against how much you give. Okay, you may feel guilty saying ‘No!’ every now and then to others, but just think how your soul feels when you say the same to him/her so often. This is your time, honour yourself and set yourself free…
