ECLIPSE, FULL MOON and SUPER MOON Blessings!

ECLIPSE, FULL MOON and SUPER MOON Blessings!

Welcome to today’s final Eclipse and Super Full Moon in Sagittarius.  The Lunar Eclipse happens at 04:09am BST and the Full Moon at 04:24am BST (approx 11:24pm USA).

   

Today’s Eclipse closes the door on what has been an unusual eclipse season.  Usually there are only two eclipses (one that opens the door and the other that closes the door), however we have just had three.  This trinity of Eclipses has shaken our lives and world in ways we could never have expected (and for some, in ways they have still to see and understand).  It is a relief that this is the last one, many folks felt as if they have been living inside a pressure cooker for weeks!  What has been amplified and magnified (and made you feel raw) will now start to settle down.

It is also a Full Moon in Sagittarius today (the most powerful Full Moon of the year), and is also the first of three Supermoons that start another cosmic ride of ups and downs as we journey into and through the Summer months.  This is a particularly potent and powerful Full Moon.  Be careful driving this weekend and be aware that you may be a bit more accident prone (we are in a Snake year and can get distracted easily, ensure that you pay attention to detail).

Sagittarius is the sign that says “I Believe – I See”, it is a fire sign that represents exuberance, travel, the outdoors, freedom to explore, adventure, prophecy, higher mind, religion, clubs and groups, other cultures, sport, higher education, teaching, law, publishing and religion.  Embrace freedom loving Sagittarius’ traits and introduce them to your life in a more real and physical way (or the Eclipse energy will do that for you!).

Whichever house Sagittarius is in, on your personal birth chart, is the area that needs a shake up and changing.  (For me personally, the Eclipses have all fallen in my 4^th house, the house of parents, and it is during this Eclipse season that my mother died and in fact it is exactly a month to the day today that we had her funeral).

Isn’t it interesting that we are experiencing two consecutive sets of triple phase experiences?  The number Three has always had a lot of significance throughout the ages.  Three is the number for expansion, moving forward, for protection and abundance.  (It is linked to the countries; Australia, Denmark, Luxembourg, Iceland, Vietnam, England and the USA.  It will be interesting to see what evolves and is revealed over the coming months from these countries).

The Three also highlights our strong connection to Spirit and how we practice our faith.  Three also connect to the “great outdoors”, so during the coming months spend as much time in Nature as you can, it will help to ground all the weird cosmic energies that will be swirling around.

Over the coming months stay grounded (get outdoorsy) and keep track of your thoughts, there will be the energies of confusion around which may throw you off path and start to create chaos or mess in your life.  Keep a grip, as this could sabotage the many wonderful gifts and opportunities that are waiting to come in for you with Jupiter, in June especially.

Full Moons are culminations/completions of what has gone before during the previous Moon phases.  Full Moons encourage debating, mating and celebrating!

So have you let go during this Eclipse season?  Whatever you are stubbornly holding onto will be ripped from you if you do not willingly let it/them go.  Remember that what seems like a door closing, is guiding you to another door that has something so much better on the other side of it.  And yes, we have all had wobbles and feelings of insecurity etc during these Eclipses, which is what eclipse energy is all about, it shakes things up that need to change.  Be kind to yourself on the days that are difficult, remember to drink plenty of water and eat properly, get more sleep if that helps, be gentle to yourself and others until clarity returns and your strength returns.  However, do not miss the opportunity to finally let go with this Full Moon.

Many have experienced despondency and depression through this Eclipse season.  This was an indicator that something needs to change; that there is something our Soul has not been happy with and wants to change.  Sitting with the feelings and diving deep into them, is the only way to deal with it, as this enables you to go through the process quicker (rather than resisting it or pretending it’s not happening) and to receive clarity when you get out the other side of it. 

Trust your intuition.  Trust yourself.  Let go and clear your pathway for all the good that is waiting to come in for you over the coming Summer months.  So work on those dreams and goals of yours, get excited about them, and they will happen.  What you place your attention on grows, so ensure that your attention is focused on what is positive, happy and exciting for you. Now is the time to take steps to making those dreams and goals manifest and you do have planetary support for this.

We are like the Phoenix rising again from the ashes of all that was taken from us during the Eclipses.  We are reborn and renewed through the power of this Full Moon, and as such you can recreate yourself in whatever way you want now.  If you have been waiting for the ‘Big Breakthrough’ then this Full Moon will bring it for you. Invest in yourself (energy/time/health practices/spiritual practices/material things that match the new you and your new image).  Whatever you want more of, invest in it, give it to yourself and watch more of it show up in your life.

You may have reached the point in your life now, where it is time to upgrade everything.  All that you have been doing before has gone stale and does not hold power.  You may have outgrown people, groups, places, ways of working, relationships, where you live etc.  It is time to revamp, upgrade and demand only the best for yourself and your life.  As mentioned before in my previous posts, this Eclipse season invites us to rebrand ourselves and our lives on the inside and on the outside.

Upgrade your thinking - You are now free from fear and are clear to think positive, loving, thoughts all the time. (Yes it is possible).

Upgrade your emotions – it is okay to feel happy, joyful, excited, passionate, sexy etc – every day!

Upgrade the way you look and present yourself to the world - you have changed, this needs to be reflected on the outside now as you rebirth yourself.

Upgrade your home – does it truly reflect who you are now? Take a look around and change things.

Upgrade your Spiritual practices – change how you have been doing things and introduce new ways that hold power that match who you now are (not who you were a few weeks ago).

Upgrade your energy – who you give it to, how you use it, how you look after it and maintain it.

Upgrade your Groups/Communities – you may have outgrown some of these now and need to move on.

When you no longer seem to ‘fit’ where you did before “it may simply be time to move to first class” as a friend said to me recently, I thought that was such a powerful statement and life changing. So raise your standards and show the world the new you, fearlessly. Show up for yourself FABULOUSLY!

As I mentioned above, the Summer months might have their ups and downs (and remember we are still in a Snake year so there could be twists and turns) however do not allow anything or anyone to knock you off path.  The Three Magical Keys for this Summer are;

* Stay grounded

* Stay healthy

* Stay positive

Do this and all will be well.

The one gremlin in the works is fear.  Yes, that little four letter word that causes us so much grief. And my goodness, we have all had fear issues come up during this eclipse season, some really old ones, some ugly ones, some new ones, all of which knocked us for six and off our centre.  They came up to be dealt with, healed and then let go of.  They cannot happen again.  Fear simply flags up where change is needed immediately.  The problem is that we bury our heads and don’t want to deal with it, well that turns a little monster into a big monster that takes longer to sort out.  Knock it on the head straight away, I promise you it is so much easier and makes the whole thing disappear a lot more quickly.  Our instinct is to run as far away as possible from the person/thing that is pressing our fear button, yet if we draw on our inner Warrior strength and face it head on, we see it shrivel before our eyes and disappear.  If you really feel you can’t cope with what has come up, get help!  There is always a solution to the problem and never be afraid to ask for help, it can save you a lot of time and wear and tear on your emotions.  (If you would like some help, contact me for a 1-2-1 appointment).

Our ‘Fear Buster’ spray mist is fantastic for helping with fear issues, it is like spraying inner warrior strength all around your aura, which filters down to your physical level reassuring it and helping you to feel strong enough to deal with whatever is happening.  Find out more here http://www.theapothecarygarden.org/Products---SPRAY-MISTS.html .

A Note for Earth Sensitives

You may have been experiencing incredible pain over the past few weeks.  Bones hurting deeply, muscles aching as well as pains in odd places.  The earthquake activity increased considerably during this Eclipse season and is ongoing.  Indicators were hips, calves, ankles, shoulders, neck and strange pains in the small bones of the hands.  We all sense differently, however one thing I and my fellow Earth Sensitives have noticed is the increase in the pain levels over the past couple of weeks.  Hopefully this will ease now.

These aches and pains are also to do with the huge changes we are undergoing as a result of the recent Eclipses and Moon transits.  The recent Solar Flares and Sunspots also caused nausea and dizziness, blurred vision and hearing difficulties.  Physically we have had to cope with a lot going on energetically, sometimes to the point where we thought we couldn’t take anymore.  (Some of my clients were concerned they were developing Lupus or other conditions, I advised them to get tested and if the tests came back negative then it is more likely to be due to the energy conditions).

Finally

Just remember that Love is the transformer, Love is the true key to all this, and it starts with Self Love.  Unless you love yourself fully you cannot truly love or help another.  Give yourself the luxury of time to develop a deep self love awareness.  Draw on the power of the Supermoons to strengthen this in yourself and you will see your life transforming in ways you cannot even dream of.  June I feel will be a much easier and more joyous month for us all.

REST  –  RELAX  –  RENEW  –  REVEAL!

 

Bright Blessings to y’all!

New Moon/Eclipse Blessings!

Change is on the way – it’s Eclipse season!

The winds of change are blowing hard and strong here today along with cleansing rain, which is totally in tune with the message of this New Moon Eclipse in earthy Taurus.

 

Artwork by Jo Wall (www.JosephineWall.co.uk)

It’s out with the old and in with the new.  Over the past few weeks it’s been a bit of a strange ride.  The energies have created real peaks and troughs in our lives.  The peaks have been awesome and the troughs have been so deep, there were times when we thought we’d never come up for air (or light) again. The energies also made some of us feel jittery and affected sleeping patterns (what sleep some of you might be asking?!!).

For those who have been working intensely with the recent energies, you may find yourself in a between and betwixt state.  You are aware that the past has dropped away, that the old habits and behaviours have fallen away, that the people who no longer match you have fallen away, that the jobs/homes/environments have fallen away or are starting to fall away.  Yet you have no clue as to what or where (or even who) you are supposed to be next.

This New Moon Eclipse heralds a time of inner and outer rebuilding.  Of casting your wishes like seeds out into the Universe and trusting that they will flourish in the Cosmic Garden and manifest for you here on Earth.

Some of you may be there, you may know who you now are and how you want to live your life.  Your energy will be high and you will be buzzing with your goals and projects as you prepare to birth them and share them with the world.

For those who are not sure yet, wait.  Wait until clarity comes and use today/tonight to write out a list of all that you want to see manifest in your life over the coming 12 months.  Don’t hold back.  Think of every area of your life and write it all down.  Ask big!  There is enough for everyone, so there is absolutely no reason why you can’t have exactly what you desire, so get writing!  

The Law of Attraction is working so powerfully at the moment, so don't be half hearted about anything (or you will get half hearted results).  The Universe mirrors back exactly the energy you are thinking, feeling and sending out, it does not differentiate, it takes you literally.

Taurus is earthy and reminds us to focus on practical earthly matters.  Taurus is offering us the opportunity to sort our physical lives out :

HEALTH – Nutrition and the type of foods you are eating, exercise – are you getting enough?  How’s your sex life?  How’s your self-care and self-nurturing?

HOME - Are you happy where you dwell?  Do your bones feel at home here?  Do you need to change things around or get rid of stuff to make space for new, to suit who you now are? Do you need to move? Have you outgrown where you are energetically?

FINANCES – Are you on top of them?  Do you keep track of your money? What can you do to improve things for yourself?  Are you giving too much money away?  Is it time to schedule a session with a Financial Adviser and put a better plan in place for the next 12 months?

WORK – Are you in the career you have always wanted?  Are you waking up excited each day about the work you will be doing?  Is it time to change?  Have you outgrown where you are and need to expand and spread your wings?  Is it time to dare to go it alone?

Chinese Astrology-wise, as you know, we are in a Snake year.  Extraordinarily we now enter a Fire Snake month (so yes, that’s a Snake month in a Snake year!) this doubles Snake energy.  Susan Levitt wrote about this recently and said, “The Fire Snake can be very driven, is intense, spiritual, and born to succeed. Fire Snake is a dynamic worker who is not easily intimidated by anyone or anything. So luck is with you to set and accomplish goals, launch new endeavors, try new methods, and take innovative risks. 

But be thorough in this Snake year and slow is better, especially with so many planets in Taurus. Luck is strongest for the Earth signs Taurus, Capricorn, and Virgo and for those born in Snake, Ox, Dragon, and Phoenix (Rooster) years, and during Snake hours 9 am - 11 am.”

Her warning about paying attention to detail is essential, as Snake energy can be very tricky and all that passionate, fire energy could cause you to get so excited that you overlook some important details.  Also watch your back!  Snake energy is notorious and it is doubled in the month of May.

There is also a wonderful line up of planets during this Eclipse providing extra energy and help for our dreams and goals, so get writing that list today/tonight!  You can now stand in your power and be your true Self, you have wonderful planetary support right now.  All that this Taurus Eclipse asks of you is that you Be Yourself NOW!

Please believe now, once and for all, that you have been freed from the chains of the past.  You are free of all the old conditioning that has influenced you and affected your life so far.  All that no longer serves you has been (or is being) released.  Drop it all now; there is no need to keep carrying it around.  You are FREE!  You can step forward now, as your larger Self, unfurl those glorious wings and show the world your colours as there is more than enough space for you now, so claim it!  Surround yourself only with that which raises your vibration and matches your dreams, goals and desires.  (This includes your home, what you wear, how you do your hair, how you look after your health and finances.  Out with the old and in with the new you!)

BTW – if you are being stubborn (a Taurean trait) you will suffer.  Simple as.  If you resist the changes that have to happen you will create even more problems for yourself and have a miserable time.  Go with all that is happening now, even if it is scary, even if you don’t know what is next, TRUST!  Trust that what is happening is for your highest good.  As I have said many times before regarding Eclipses, whatever is taken away is for a very good reason, and you will be rewarded with something/someone in its place which is so much better than you can even have dreamed of.  So let go and let God/dess.

New paths are opening up for you now, allowing you to show and share your true colours with the world.  ‘Prosperity Pathways’ are also opening up with new opportunities.  The more you can flow with the energies, the more you will be aware and ready for what now presents. 

This week when we had the good weather, I did a lot of gardening.  It was wonderful connecting with the Earth and its grounding energies, as well as interacting with my beloved Green and Growing relatives. 

Earlier today I had the urge to do a lot of baking, then felt the messages coming through and sat down to share them with you.  Baking and home based activities are very Taurean and it was nice to be in tune with the current energies.

Tonight we will sit down and write our Lists and I am so excited I can hardly wait!

New Moon Blessings to y’all and abundant Blessings for your Desire Lists!

P.S.  A heartfelt thank you to those of you who sent messages of condolence regarding my mother’s death.  I am finally emerging from my cave and feeling more rested and able to dive into my work once more.  I would also like to thank my closest friends for their incredible support and love during what has been a difficult time.

SPRING Update

The journey from the last Solstice to the recent Equinox has been a bit of a rough ride for many.  As several Feng Shui masters said; as the Water Dragon exited, it did so with a last lash of its tail before handing over to the Water Snake for this year.  And, as I mentioned in my previous post, Snake years are always fairly turbulent years. 

In the build up to the Equinox many people left the planet, the ‘Death Pull’ as I call it was extremely strong and there was a noticeable increase in requests for The Healing Prayers Circle.  (A huge thank you to all the members, who take the time to acknowledge all those in need).  Many felt like they wanted to leave the planet, many were feeling so overwhelmed with their lives and all that is happening, they felt exhausted and thought the only way is to step off this incarnation.  Dr Christiane Northrup in a recent Tweet, described this perfectly when she talked about “grow or die energy going on right now”.  And that is exactly what was happening, however, I do feel that we have all turned the corner now and once more are ready to step forward as Rainbow Warriors to complete the task we came here to do.

It has been a bit turbulent so far this year (to say the least!) geo-politically as well as personally, also elementally, as many of us were hit with the coldest Spring in over 40 years.  Now the land awakens and our energy returns (albeit slowly with all this cold weather).  It is time to awaken our interests, our projects, our dreams and wishes and to use the forward moving energy now coming in to re-energise ourselves, our homes and our lives.

Many of you have experienced some deep clearing since the turn of the year.  And for some it was a bit unexpected and a bit shocking.  Lots of old ‘worms’ came crawling out from under their stones trying to hook into you/your life and worm their way back in.  Get rid of them!  There is a reason why they stopped being in your life, do not allow them to drag you back into their dramas or to pull you down into their lower vibration.  You are moving forward now not backwards.  The truth has been revealed to you about folks that you may have known for some time, which is sad and hurts, yet is a necessary part of your clearing.  Groups/Associations etc that you have been a part of for a long time are also changing and possibly breaking up.  Basically whatever has been samey for you over the past ten years is now changing, and it has to.  You are ready for this change; you need it, because you are now ready to step forward in a new and different way on every level and in just about every area of your life.

And we have a pretty powerful Full Moon this week (Weds/Thurs depending on which country you are in).  So I do hope that you are listening to your body and emotions and being gentle with yourself and others.  This Full Moon in Libra asks us to find balance despite being pushed hard by Aries to change what needs changing.  If you’ve been stuck in a comfortable rut or desperately clinging onto something or someone when you know you should have let go a long time ago, prepare to be kicked into touch!  Change is happening and there is nothing you can do about it.  Resist and it will be so much harder on you.  Accept and go with the flow, you must be flexible like a Snake and move gracefully with the energies.  Snake years as I mentioned last time, will throw up unexpected curve balls and mess up plans time and time again, the test is how you will cope with it all.  We are all being pushed forward now, you cannot stop it, so accept it and look ahead as we are being guided towards something (or someone) so much better.  So let go and let God/dess and trust that you will always be taken care of.  You’ve been through this kind of stuff before, and you’ve always come out the other side stronger and wiser and in a much better place.  Remember during the hard times, that they are only temporary and they are stepping stones taking you towards something so much better. So keep the faith.

Earth Sensitives have been feeling pretty ill the past few weeks as swarms of earthquakes happened all around the world.  High pitched ear tones (no it’s not tinnutis), nausea and dizziness, aches and pains in strange parts of the body are all classic signs of picking up forthcoming earthquakes.  (The actual event can happen several hours or several days later). When the events happens, the symptoms stop until the next round starts building again.

Here on this side of the pond, the fields very quickly became flooded again when the heavy rains returned.  This is because the land is still frozen underneath and the water hasn’t been able to drain away.  With all the snow some areas have had, they need to be prepared for possible flooding when it all thaws.  As Lightworkers we can all send warm, loving energy to the Earth Mother to help Her absorb and deal with all this excess water.  Farmers and gardeners have been affected as the floods caused a lot of earthworms to drown, they are invaluable for helping to irrigate and turn over the soil.  All is connected, what affects one affects us all.  So do everything you can to help Mother Earth and Her Creature Beings, send loving, warm energy to them all, see the Earth Mother as perfect, whole and beautiful and understand the great challenge She is currently going through.

Spring connects us with the Air element, so go outside and breathe some fresh, Spring air.  Do more breathwork in your daily meditations and oxygenate your cells to shift any lingering stagnation from the Winter Moons.  It is the time of rebirth, of eggs (dreams/goals) waiting to hatch.  What will you be hatching?  Are you ready yet?

SPRING BLESSINGS

Spray Mist

This spray mist is fresh floral, full of hope and promise.  It will lighten any atmosphere and raise your Spirits.  If you suffer from S.A.D. syndrome or just plain get down at this time of year, this spray mist will help you to lift yourself back into the light and partake in the beauty of Spring.  Use as a room or aura spray.  (One of our customers described it as "liquid sunshine")

 http://www.theapothecarygarden.org/Products---SPRAY-MISTS.html

There is so much to be positive about, we have turned the corner now.  Tremendous growth in all areas of your life can be achieved now if you have created the space to receive it (on the inner as well as outer levels).  How are you doing with clearing the clutter? The clutter in your head as well as your home, the clutter in your garden as well as your computer, the clutter in your office as well as the garage/outhouses.

Astrologically Mars gets us all fired up, and now four planets in Aries adds some oil to the fire.  You may find yourself flaring up in a rage unexpectedly and out of character for you.  Road rage is common with this transit, and it is a testing time for relationships of all kinds (business as well as personal) as irritation, anger and frustration may flare up between you (be careful not to get caught in the “crossfire” of others who won’t understand what is going on and will be projecting).   
This anger energy also ties in with Traditional Chinese Medicine, as Spring in the cycles of the body is associated with the liver and gall bladder.  Chinese herbalism also attributes Spring with ligaments and tendons (so be careful especially when playing sports, or if there is snow/ice where you are), as well as anger – anger resides in the liver.  Liver stagnation can also affect your eyesight causing blurry vision etc.  Wind is the element and relates to flatulence, more than usual, which ties in with anger issues which sometimes express themselves through flatulence and are what Buddhists describe as “the Southern Wind”.  All is part of your body’s natural cycle as it moves from the lethargy and dormancy of the Winter Moons and starts awakening to the more active Spring energies. 

All of the above can be remedied by supporting the Liver.  I personally do not agree with some of the extreme Liver cleanses as they do not do what they say they do.  Gentle detoxification, reducing eating and drinking things that overwork the liver, drinking more water, eating more green stuff and taking Milk Thistle herbal tincture will all help to keep the Liver feeling loved and balanced.  Reducing stress is essential otherwise the anger energy will keep building, remedy this through daily meditation twice a day during the Spring Moons.

Be careful not to be bullied or manipulated by others during this transit, there may be power struggles in relationships. Be aware of those with hidden agendas, don’t get caught out by them.  Those working with the lower, denser energies will be acting out and be in major control freak mode as underneath they can sense change that they cannot control, so they act out. 

These transits remind us to put ourselves first, to love ourselves before we can love others.  It’s a great time for sifting and sorting those who genuinely love you and support your dreams and goals, or those who want to keep you in a box with a label on it, playing with you whenever they fancy.   

Stay grounded in your dealings with others, stop being a Dippy Hippy or La La Bunny, come back down to Earth and stay in the present moment. 

Some of you may go from being totally lethargic over the past few months to bouncing around like an Energizer Bunny!  Pace yourself or you will burn yourself out with this kind of transit energy.  Yet again we are grateful to the planets for helping us with even more clearing and expansion even though it might not be a lot of fun at times.  All of this is intended to empower us so that we can be moved forward to where we need to be for the next step/stage of our lives.

Some of you are on the brink of great success, just be sure that some of those ‘other’ energies don’t distract you or allow you to sabotage yourself.   
You have heard me mention ULP’s before (ULPs = Upper Limit Problems) as brilliantly explained in Gay Hendrick’s book “The Big Leap”.  The past year and the first quarter of this year have left many people feeling quite low, so your internal ‘thermostat’ is at a lower setting than it has been for a while.  When something better comes along such as a wonderful new opportunity/relationship/windfall which will turn your setting up a few notches and get you heading upwards again, that previous lower default will kick in (via your fearful ego) and create something to knock you back down to that more familiar, lower setting.  This is personal sabotage and can happen so quickly. 

How this may play out in your life:

You receive some new success via your work, you rush home to share this good news and end up having a flaming row with your beloved (or shouting at the kids or dog/cat).

You pass the audition you longed for yet have to drop out of the performance/recording because you suddenly have laryngitis. 

You meet the partner of your dreams and then your financial life goes t*ts up. 

All of these are ULP’s!  All of these are self-created (although at the time it seems as if it is outside forces).  All of these are created by your fearful ego.  All of these can be stopped and rectified as soon as you realise what is going on.  As I said at the beginning, some of you are on the threshold of new success (some of it beyond your wildest dreams) so be forewarned and be on the lookout that you don’t create an ULP.

Creating ULPs is a classic for those who sign up for workshops/retreats/courses.  You finally have the money to pay for that course or workshop you have been so looking forward to, and a few days before it starts, you go down with the flu and (think) you can’t go.  It’s a test.  The flu is an ULP and you have been presented with a test to see how much you really want to go.  This test is also flagging up to you that this is exactly the workshop/retreat/course you need to be doing at this time, which is why your ego is panicking (because on a higher level you know that you will be transformed after this event) because it cannot control what might happen. 

Fear of going somewhere such as a party or wedding is exactly the same thing, it is your ego in fear, it is trying to protect you (from possible disappointment, embarassment, whatever) but is actually preventing you from enjoying a wonderful experience.

So get over your ego and get on with your life!  You have the power, you have the tools, you know what to do – so get on with it!

As we now prepare to say goodbye to the Lion of March and welcome Awesome April, decide that that you are going to amaze the world this April! 

Spring Blessings!

2013 OVERVIEW

 2013 OVERVIEW

 

It has been a challenging start to the year for many, including myself, which is why I haven’t published anything for a while.  The e-zine and Blog take a long time to write and are offered free.  They can only be written when I have the time, space and energy to do so.  Life recently has required all of my energy and attention and didn’t leave me enough to complete the half written offerings from this month and last month.  They are also meant to be a window to showcase the work that I do, the therapies/services/products that I offer, and if I do not receive any orders/bookings from them, I have to now decide whether it is worth the time and effort required, when that time and effort could perhaps be channelled into different areas of business revenue.  However, I do love writing the updates, I find it creatively satisfying and still enjoy receiving the downloads from Spirit, so for the moment, I will continue to share as and when I can.

2013

Well, we made it through the hype of 2012.  Even if you tried not to buy into it, energetically we were all affected in one way or another by the anticipation.  Having got through December 2012, we all thought, yippee that’s it; we’ve made it through the Ascension journey and survived.  Which is true, however, what we didn’t expect was the post 2012 fall-out as things continue to settle.

We have been on a ten-year plus Ascension journey, which has now ended.  Have we ended up where we thought we would?  Are we who we thought we would be?  Are we living like we thought we would be?  Is our reality what we expected it to be?  Or does everything seem the same?

Well, nothing is the same.  You haven’t been on that long journey for nothing.  The problem is that you have changed and now need to be inhabiting your new reality and living and Being it.  This is difficult when the old reality hologram still seems to be so real.  Many have been feeling ungrounded, displaced, dizzy and lacking in focus as they try to find their footing.  We are still in that settling-in space, which I hope will ease for us as we get into Spring next month.  The key to anchoring into the new reality is Love, and Love is the only key you need for this year.

Numerologically it is a ‘6’ year. (2+0+1+3 = 6).  Six is the Love vibration number and is what we all need to focus on this year.  Love really is the key to getting us through.  In the first few days of the year, there was a tremendous wave of love that seemed to sweep the globe and everyone was absorbing it, transmitting it and feeling fabulous and so in tune with each other.  I thought yes, this is what the new reality is all about; this is what it feels like! 

Six is also the number for harmony, commitment, relationships, marriage and family.  If you want to travel, you may find the following countries calling you during this ‘6’ year: Mexico, Thailand, Russia, New Zealand, Japan, Norway, Canada, and Iran.  (And isn’t it interesting how many of these countries need a lot of healing and light at the moment as many of them are experiencing incredible turmoil).

Those working with the Love vibration of this Six year will be developing not just their ability to be loving, but also a sense of what is just, they are willing to step up and take responsibility for whatever group/s they are involved in, they will be even more generous than before and will happily share their idealism.

Those rejecting Love and choosing to work with the shadow aspect of this year will be displaying these types of traits; they will be uncaring, unjust, resent responsibility, be mean and obsessive.  Just ensure you don’t get caught up in any of their dramas or drawn into any of their co-dependent games.

Unfortunately that fabulous love wave receded and some hard realities set in with shock experiences for many of us.  We have been given a taste of what it feels like to live in Love as our 24-7 reality.  I want that back!  What came in next was like a whack across the back of the head.  Our task now is to get back into that wave of love whilst dealing with the curveballs we are being tested with this year.

 “Watch your back” - I have been hearing that over and over since the start of the year.  This is a year when you will need to watch your back.  Many of you will have already felt how unstable and downright weird the energies have been a lot of the time, so far this year. No wonder we need to ensure that we are centred and grounded, and are monitoring protection for ourselves, our energy fields, our loved ones, our homes etc. 

Illness brought many of us to our knees.  I have never known so many Lightworkers and strong women brought down by illness as in the past couple of months.  I have never known some of my business colleagues to get ill; they are usually incredibly strong and energetic women.  In this time of increased feminine power we are starting the year with some deep cleansing.  In order to take our place and set up shop in the new reality we need to be in good health, we need to have a clear idea of how we want to live and work and Be, and for many folks they haven’t got a clue.  They just know that what they have been doing no longer feels right, that a change is needed.  Illness gives us the rest time, think time and reassessment time that we need.

Are you thinking for yourself? Or are you still seeking validation from other people and sources outside of yourself?  Stop being so weak, own your power and trust the Divine Intelligence that is within you.  It is time for you to speak your truth (not repeat what others say), it is time for you to live your truth – anything that prevents you from doing this must go now and that includes people, groups etc as well as your own limiting thoughts and negative beliefs.  We have come through the darkest time and the whole point of that was to make us independent and to drop all forms of co-dependency (be that substances such as sugar, alcohol, drugs, addictions, as well as relationships).

How can you possibly benefit from all the wonderful energy this year and access the wonderful things and experiences that are waiting to come in for you, if you are still doing the same old same old?
Stop thinking about it – do it – stop talking about it – do it!

The Feminine becomes more greatly empowered this year as more women are now owning their power and using it to make a difference in our world.  However be prepared to be attacked for it too, the more authentic and genuine you are in your power the more you will alarm those who are not authentic or aware of the importance of feminine energy at this time on our planet, and they may try to trick you verbally or emotionally.  Don’t let them affect you in any way, realise that you are doing the right thing and let nothing and no-one stop you.  Many men are embracing their feminine energy within and in a more masculine and balanced way now (for a while some of them went too far the other way and were too empathically female which knocked their balance), and they have a realization of the changes that now need to occur in their lives also.

(I wrote the above paragraph in December, and little did I know then how prophetic it would be, no sooner did we turn into the New Year than small, some subtle and some less subtle attacks against the Feminine started, culminating in a quite a big one in February).

YEAR of the SNAKE

We are now in the Year of the Yin Water Snake.

Key watchwords for this Snake year: “Pay attention to detail.”

The yin water element of the year is associated with intelligence, innovation, intuition, inventiveness, inner tension, secretive and hidden plans, the kidneys, bladder, reproductive organs and hearing. (You may be prone to weakness in these areas this year, so stay healthy).

The yin fire element of the Snake year connects with illumination, entertainment, cunning, fire, electricity, reactive energy, the heart, vision and fever.

The sensual Snake will activate lessons in deepening our connection with Source/Creator, if we work with the energy of this year we can deepen our spiritual wisdom and cosmic connection.

As it is in the element of Water it means that lessons and healings will happen on a deep, emotional level.  Wherever you have been stagnating emotionally, be prepared for things to be shaken up, you cannot stagnate any longer, change is necessary.  Whatever you have stuffed away and hidden (or forgotten about) will rise from the depths to be faced this year.

The Yin energy warns us not to do anything with excess or overwork ourselves (you could end up with depression), instead it encourages us to use this year to restore ourselves on every level and achieve a more permanent feeling of inner balance. This is a year of moderation, of “gradual and gathered strength”.  Not a year for pushing anything or taking risks – especially financial.  Stability and balance in all that you do in every area of your life is essential this year.  This is not the year for playing with fire, because you will get burned for sure.  This also includes our health, no taking any kind of risks with your health this year, look after yourself, you must put your health first this year before anything and anyone else.  You may also need to “hold your tongue” more this year and be diplomatic (balance in speech and kindness in speech and only speak the truth). 

As one of my favourite Feng Shui masters (the wonderful Kathryn Weber of www.RedLotusLetter.com) said “Make sure you’re the person who is ahead on payments, flosses your teeth (not just says you do to your dentist, blushing), and wears your seatbelt… at all times.”

It is a perfect year to develop good meditation practice.  It is also a gently sociable year, a year of gentle connections and collaborations.

The Snake represents wisdom, intelligence and self-control.  We will be tested on these aspects of ourselves this year.

Other Aspects

Like Snake, we have been shedding an old skin, and now need to take care of the vulnerable new one until it has adapted to its environment.  Aura and chakra protection is essential.  (Think of yourself as a newborn and how you would look after a newborn).

The Year of the Snake brings many twists and turns, and it is a year to expect the unexpected.

My husband recently prepared for a long wanted interview.  His interview day is a perfect example of Snake year energy.  The day before he planned what to wear, went through his paperwork and ran through possible questions, gave himself plenty of time to get ready in the morning, checked he had everything he needed and went off excitedly.  When he walked into the office, he found out that one of his friends/colleagues had died.  My hubby had been fond of him and had a lot of respect for him, as he was a great man.  What upset my hubby even more was that the interview was being held in the dead man’s office. 

This is typical Snake energy, you think everything is going well and then suddenly something out of the blue smacks you in the face.  It’s a test.  For him it was to see whether this would completely drag him down and knock him off centre for his much longed for interview.  As I helped him in his grief during a ‘phone call before the interview, I saw his colleague high up on the wall behind the panel of interviewers smiling at Pete, I said he is going to be your Guardian Angel today, that’s why it is happening in his room, he is helping you, so go do him proud!  (My hubby didn’t get the job, but he passed a lot of tests that day inwardly and outwardly and I was so proud of him).

Watch out for those with forked tongues, they may come disguised in outer clothing of grace and elegance however, they may not be trusted.  There will be those who Talk the Talk convincingly, take care not to get sucked in by them, they may not be who you think they are.  Our industry (mind/body/spirit/complementary/alternative) is the worst for this, and this could be a year of tricksters.  Snakes can strike at will, wilfully and powerfully, so don’t be taken in by a snake in the grass who seems super laid back, it could snap its fangs at you before you even realise it.

Traditionally Snake years can be wonderful but can also be difficult with shock events (the mowing down of the student of Tiananmen Square and other major incidents such as 911 all happened during Snake years).  If you are presented with big challenges then you know that within those challenges are big opportunities. 

There can be opportunities for abundance this year and new opportunities and experiences; there can also be setbacks and delays.  This year should be a lot smoother than last year, but there can be some bumpy bits along the way.  

 STOP HIDING!

The more effort you put in this year, the greater the rewards this year and in years ahead.  This is not the year to be lazy (and God/dess help you if you are), nor to be a fence sitter, pessimist or to be faint hearted.  “It is time to find your inner courage, or the need for it will confront you.”

It’s a good year for “men, the career-minded, entrepreneurs, writers and students”, business growth, and rebirth of businesses. Progress and success will be steady and sure like the tortoise this year not the hare.

When the tests happen, once you are over the shock, try and get back into your Heart centre and out of your head and solar plexus.  Take time out to meditate, calm down internally first and then you will know what to do.  Do not go running to everyone else first, you will end up like a headless chicken.  Sort yourself out first, calm yourself down and then seek further advice if you need it.  Sometimes sleeping on it can help greatly, as you may receive further guidance during dreamtime.

The colour green (think trees, Springtime) is very beneficial and helpful, and will bring you balance during this Snake year.  Use one or two accessories in the home, like a couple of cushions, a vase, etc.  And for you personally, accessorise with a scarf, jumper, jacket, handbag or shoes, jewellery etc.

By being prepared you will be able to deal with this year, so enjoy it!  It can be an empowering, abundant year full of new beginnings and opportunities.  “The Chinese understand that their family will never go hungry in the Year of the Snake” as long as planning, caution, reflection and balance are taken into account.

Other Info

Every year Spirit gives me a catchphrase that accompanies the year that we are in, this year I have been given two: -

2013 – Be the dream

and

2013 – work as a Team

Use Love as your key to enable you to truly live the dream you have been creating for yourself.  Whilst we will continue to work on ourselves and strengthen ourselves on every level, this is the year to work with others towards a common goal.  Seek out others who can support you and your dreams; find a suitable coach/guide who can help you anchor and live your dream, find new friends and/or groups who will respect and honour your dreams and support you all the way.  Who can you collaborate with?  What collaborations can be created to serve the world in a bigger way?

And bring love into the mundane and routine in your life.  Give thanks for the safe clean water to wash your plates in and do it with love.  Give thanks for the ability to do chores and do them with love.  Stop and think before you say and do anything – “am I doing this with love?” Give yourself a few minutes and take a few deep breaths to put you back into your Heart centre.  Access the love energy there (or tap into the Universal Love that is always around you and draw that down into yourself) and then proceed. 

Give up trying to control your life, we have gone way beyond that, it is just too unpredictable.  Surrender to the Will of the Divine with love, in a way that you never have before.  When you allow Love to be your Guide, life flows more easily and you experience more joy.

Each day send up the prayer – “how may I serve today?”
