NEW MOON BLESSINGS!

NEW MOON Solar Eclipse

Occurs 22:08pm GMT/Universal time, 4:08pm CST in North America

New Moon Blessings to you all! And what a Super Moon of transformation this is. As it is in Scorpio, it relates to new beginnings regarding passion, control, power, transformation, turmoil, death, money, renewal, sharing, awakenings, investigation, electricity, authority, probing the depths, spirituality and the occult. (There will be new beginnings in all of these areas).

Scorpio’s motto is “I Desire and I Protect – I rule boundaries”

Over the past few weeks many have received tests on boundary issues. It doesn’t matter how long you have been doing this stuff, boundary tests still happen and can catch you out, so be aware and do something about it.

Scorpio rules the regenerative/sexual organs of the body – when was the last time you had a medical check up for your bits?

As it is a Solar Eclipse it emphasises beginnings (something may also be ending but the attention is more on the start of something than the end. So whatever ends will not be as traumatic as you think because something more wonderful is already starting).

As mentioned in my previous Blog, Eclipses always shake things up. For some folks it might just be a few small things change, for others it will be life changing.

People always fear Eclipses because they are the transformers and that can be scary. However, they can also reveal gems such as your inner strength, your creativity and actually increase your confidence in yourself.

If you can train yourself to positively deal with the little things that happen (and that includes the language you use to describe what is happening, more on that later), then you will be better equipped to deal with anything bigger that may occur.

As it is in Scorpio, what is hidden will now be revealed (as we have seen in the UK recently with the truth about certain showbiz personalities and politicians). This goes for us personally as well, what has been suppressed will now come up for attention. All those suppressed desires and dreams will make their way to the surface now demanding to be fulfilled. So who or what has been holding you back? Nine times out of ten, it will be yourself. Now you are given the green light and the support to fulfil all of those longings, desires, dreams and goals.

However, it will require some dialogues with the Self and being willing to be more honest with yourself than you have ever been before. You will be required to dive deep into your emotions, honour them, heal them and release them.

The Past is a ‘Has Been’. It’s over. I will say that again – it’s OVER! So stop letting it pull you back into what is no longer real. The present moment is the only reality you need to think about or worry about.

Many folks have been clearing on all sorts of levels and cutting their ties with the past. It is as if there has been a massive push in Cosmic Housekeeping on all levels. We are being urged to purge what (and who) we no longer need in order to have our pathways clear for the journey in 2013 and beyond. So clear that clutter. Clear those skinny clothes out of your wardrobe that you are never going to fit into again and honour the gorgeous body that you are so blessed to have now.

Drop your connection with anyone who does not love you, appreciate you, respect you or honour you, and that goes for your dreams and desires. If they are not willing to support you, even with words of encouragement, then they are not meant to be in your Personal Sacred Circle. Don’t delay, don’t procrastinate, you have already been feeling the push towards this so stop ignoring it and do something about it.

Scorpio is about quality not quantity, so make the decision to clear the excess and only allow yourself to experience what is good quality in all areas of your life.

There is much Shadow Dancing at the moment. Those who are shining their light even brighter are also experiencing and/or witnessing those with dark energy getting darker. If your light cannot transform them, then they need to be left to their own devices, do not waste any more of your energy on them, they need to learn in their own way, they are not ready right now. You must focus on clearing more of your own shadow through this Eclipse season and just focus on your Light. In meditation, draw down White Light through the Crown chakra and pull it down through all of the chakras and out through the soles of your feet. This will clear your central channel and chakras.

Those who have been walking this Ascension pathway over the past ten years are now not bothered about being right, you are more concerned with being happy. All of us are now realising that we are on borrowed time in some ways on this planet, so let’s darn well start enjoying the time we have left and start doing the things we really want to do and with the people we really want to be with. We are nearing the end of this Ascension pathway, and what a ride it has been with you all! Have you noticed that you now have the ability to withdraw in neutrality rather than needing to take sides in anything? Who is right or wrong doesn’t matter, it just is. You still enjoy dipping in with your opinion now and then, but if push came to shove you aren’t bothered, it doesn’t matter in the larger scheme of things.

And one wonderful bonus of ascending this far is that you now stand quietly and confidently in your truth. You have no desire to force it on others, nor to change others with it; you just emit it through every cell of your Being. When others try to challenge it, you just smile knowingly and don’t rise to the bait. Because you now understand that, truly, we are all connected. That each person’s truth is ok because it is their truth, it doesn’t have to be your truth and that is ok too.

As I said in my previous Blog, enjoy November. During this month continue clearing but also focus on your own personal wellbeing. Stay away from stressful people and situations as you continue to build your inner strength and physical strength. Work on your immune system, as the whacky weather lately is creating all kinds of bugs. You need to be strong for December and beyond. Now December usually wears us all out with the Christmas pressure, so don’t allow yourself to get super stressed or run down by it all. You are going to need to be strong inside and out.

I recently shared with a Client about the three levels of Scorpio, and now we are all being given the opportunity to experience Scorpio’s higher level - Phoenix energy. We are all being invited to rise from the ashes of the past and rebirth ourselves at the same time as our beautiful planet is rebirthing Herself. Find a picture of a Phoenix, print it out and look at it every day. It will remind you of what is happening and who you really are. You are rising up, reborn, resplendent in your beauty; new colours are being given to you for you to work with, as you move forward now (these are reflected in your aura and can also be downloaded during meditation).

Scorpios, and those with a lot of Scorpio in their chart, can be a bit serious. This is caused by Scorpio’s natural intensity, which sees through the frivolous into the truth of everything and everyone. However, you need to lighten up sometimes otherwise that beautiful golden inner child of yours will start to ail. Get out and have fun as often as you can. Be with people who make you laugh (my best friend is my best medicine, she always makes me laugh and should be on prescription as she could heal this country!) At my age, I now appreciate how short life really is and I darn well want to have fun whilst I can. Get out in Nature and play. Meet up with friends and play. Plan a Play Day and go do something crazy and fun together.

Laughter is the quickest way to raise your vibration and ramps up your Light factor. Restore the purity you had as a child (see a Healer to help you with this) and allow your Divine Inner Child to be your guide.

I have been saying in recent years to drop the fear; that we have to let go of fear in order to move forward. I have said it so often I have bored myself! Now you can, because inside you are stronger and more powerful. You have tamed the Fear Monster because you understand what it was afraid of and you have more techniques now that enable you to deal with whatever it tries to flick up at you. You understand that 99% of what you are most afraid of never happens and is such an unnecessary drain on your energy and wellbeing, now you love yourself enough to not allow yourself to feel like that anymore. You also understand that focusing on what is wrong just brings more of the same and has a knock-on negative effect on the rest of your life. Many are choosing to step off that particular wheel and on to the Wheel of Joy that is always there for us. Yes of course there will be things that happen that continue to challenge us, and yes our ego will immediately throw up an old reaction, BUT we know what is happening and how to deal with it. So go for joy NOW!

And the more of us that choose to live without fear, trust in light and move forward with love – the greater the change we will be able to effect for the Earth and Her inhabitants.

We all understand the Law of Attraction and, now nearing the end of the Ascension journey, we understand that we do indeed have the power to consciously create whatever we want in our lives. We are now true Lightworkers, because we own responsibility for what we are doing with our energy (thoughts, words, deeds) and the effect that will have on those around us, globally and cosmically. We are now excited to “take the reigns” of our lives.

Watch out though because Mercury is still retrograde, therefore the ‘Trickster’ energy could throw up some tests i.e. “if something seems too good to be true then it probably is!” Don’t be seduced; don’t allow the fuzzy energies to cloud your judgement. Wait a lot longer and check it (or them) out a bit more. Use Scorpio’s investigative energies to dig a bit deeper.

Find out which house in your personal astrology chart Scorpio is in, as that will be the area which will be most affected by this Eclipse and that you will need to work on.

And as it’s New Moon time, it’s New Moon Wish List time, write your list out and read it aloud by the light of your candle to Grandmother Moon. Then place it on your altar until next New Moon. However, you are advised to avoid ‘wishful thinking’ as it is unrealistic and is you wanting something/someone outside of yourself to make it happen, rather than being the conscious creator that you are.

Be careful of the words that come out of your mouth. As a Conscious Creator you will be manifesting more of the same. Use this transit to track how you speak to yourself and how you speak of yourself to others. Break those old stock phrases and say something different each time. Break the old to create the new.

Scorpio is a water sign; therefore you can help yourself by having an Epsom salts bath (great for clearing toxicity from the body and for absorbing much needed magnesium). And take some Essences in water. (Please note I am recommending Flower & Vibrational Essences not essential oils).

So take it easy on yourself and those you know who are Scorpios, as they will be feeling very emotionally sensitive especially around the time of this Moon. Plus they have got Saturn to deal with, so they have more than enough on their plate right now!

NOVEMBER Updates

ASTROLOGY heads up

It’s Mercury Retrograde time again and things will go back to normal around Christmas Day (which is a relief for those of us travelling to see family!). This particular retrograde passes through Libra and asks that justice be done. So it is a time of taking a look at everything in your life and seeing where the balance needs to be.

Mercury Retrogrades are all about revisiting, reworking, rethinking, redoing, reassessing, re-evaluating. And as you know by now, causes snafus in all types of communications and usually messes up computers and travel. Back up your computer as soon as possible, get the car checked, fix anything that is leaking, broken or needs sorting. And double and triple check travel arrangements.

Merc retrograde gives us the breathing space we need to catch up with stuff (for me it seems to be the only time I get to catch up with filing and paperwork as everything else slows down). Be aware of how you are communicating, it may sound like alien-speak to the person you are trying to talk to. Don’t take anything too personally during this transit; it’s where they are at and how they have interpreted what you communicated. Be calm and clear and all should be well.

Avoid signing contracts, launching new projects/ventures, or moving home during Mercury Retrograde as there may be problems with the contracts, better to wait until the New Year. It can also affect new relationships, so your Christmas romance may fizzle out by the New Year.

(Although Mercury goes stationary forward on Nov 26^th he does not leave the retrograde zone until Dec 14^th, which is why I said that by Christmas Day, everything communication-wise should be going more smoothly).

And it’s ECLIPSE SEASON AGAIN! Heck Scorps, as if Saturn moving into our sign wasn’t enough (see last month’s post), we also have the double whammy of Eclipses in our birthday month too! It seems the Universe really wants us to change things and is giving us a big nudge to do so. And it’s not just us Scorps who will be affected by these Eclipses (or Saturn moving into Scorpio - check out last month’s post re Saturn in Scorpio to see how it will affect you).

At the beginning of October, I had a dream and also went back into the same dream later. It was regarding the upcoming Eclipses, I was told, “They will be very powerful and affect everyone, whatever month they were born in. They are the precursor for 21 December 2012.”

Eclipses shake things up, if you have been procrastinating or indecisive and still haven’t done anything about it, the Universe will now do it for you. This can come as a shock to some folks but it is all for their higher good. Eclipses rattle most of us and it’s because we need to be shaken up a bit to wake up more. However, Eclipses also bring gifts once you have got over the lessons of their transit. Do not resist what needs to happen or you will make it so much worse for yourself. Let go. I will say that again – let go!

And there is a Grand Trine – it is going to be another powerful month folks!

On the whole, November will be a much lighter month than October, so make the most of it, lighten up, get out and enjoy yourselves, enjoy Christmas shopping and catching up with friends etc, because December may be a bit of a doozy energy-wise as we hurtle towards 21 December 2012.

Also for 11:11 fans, it’s Solara’s final activation on 22 November. I took part in a few of the activations some years ago and I am delighted for her that we have reached the final activation. Through her I have met some wonderful people that I am still in touch with, whom I shared those experiences with (which were absolutely awesome).

DARK NIGHTS: 10^th, 11^th, 12^th November

Remember that your energy will feel lower than usual; you may feel more tired as the Earth pulls you towards her. Time to go into your cave; reflect on what has happened and what you have achieved in the past month. To give thanks for all that has occurred during this lunation. Decide what it is you want to let go of and what you would like to see grow with the next New Moon cycle. Prepare your New Moon Manifestation List – these are the magical wishing days of the Moon. On the New Moon, light your candle and read your list aloud, then place it somewhere special such as your altar, and let Grandmother Moon get to work on helping you to manifest what is for your highest good over the coming month. These days signal to you the beginning of a new Power time.

NEW MOON – 13^th November in Scorpio @ 22:08pm GMT

This New Moon in sexy, sensitive Scorpio will occur on November 13^th in the UK. The New Moon is a time to start again, an opportunity to start anew and bring in the new. New moons encourage reassessment and planning for the month ahead, you may have a need to be alone during the first few days. You also may want to stay at home and may not feel you have the energy for going out or travelling. Any seeds (ideas and positive energy) planted during a New Moon will culminate and flourish during the Full Moon. The New Moon to Full Moon is a time of creation and expansion, of dynamic energy. What are you going to create for your coming month ahead, where are you going to focus your energies?

Well my fellow Scorps, a New Moon in our sign during this auspicious year means only one thing - we get a chance to draw a line under the past and start again. We have reached our Phoenix stage and will rise anew from the ashes of the past into the future we have always longed for. We are now able to leave fear behind, spread our beautiful wings and rise higher than we have ever risen before. No more hiding in the background, we are being called to World Service from this time onwards and it is time to overcome our shyness and honour that request. Shine and sizzle Scorpio – it’s your turn for centre stage! Some Scorps may feel a change of image is required to honour who they are now becoming as they step more into their power. Go for it! With Crimbo around the corner, add some new ideas for clothing, jewellery etc to your Christmas List. Those of you with lots of Scorpio in your chart may also relate to this.

FULL MOON - 28^th November in Gemini @ 14:46pm GMT

Elly: The Full Moon in quick thinking, master networker Gemini will occur on November 28^th in the UK. The Full Moon is a powerful culmination and celebration of all that you have achieved in the past few weeks. It is the peak of the month and the harvesting of all that you have planted and created since the New Moon. Now the events of recent weeks come to a ripe fullness. Breathe a sigh of relief and celebrate. Remember the Full Moon is the best time for feasting, mating and debating! So set aside some quality time for you and your beloved, eat something wonderful, talk to each other, and love, love, love, under the light of the Full Moon. (And if you are on your own, do this for yourself and enjoy!). Remember Full Moons are the right time for celebrating and revelling in your successes.

PRODUCT of the MONTH

As it’s the last moon of Autumn, this is the perfect Essence to work with during this Season.

RED LEAVES

Plant/Energy Essence

This essence will help to clear anything in the lower chakras. Whatever has accumulated there without our conscious knowing during the Spring and Summer moons, can now be cleared and transformed. This essence will break down anything that is clinging or stagnating in the lower chakras, any shadow stuff in there will be brought into the light for healing. Clearing the lower chakras, especially the base chakra, is essential for maintaining good quality life force energy.

This essence was made during the Autumn season, which offers us the perfect opportunity to do this type of work. It enables us to be in harmony with Mother Earth and Her cycles as we reclaim harmony in ourselves.

It can bring up old fears, but this is rather like a ripple that disappears as quickly as it arrives. The ‘Red Leaves’ essence melts away any fear and leads you down to your base chakra in excited anticipation of what is in there. You carry with you strong, bright, light. It is like entering a room of possibility, a red room. You move deeper into the room and discover that there is nothing here to be afraid of; your light has already dissolved whatever was there. You turn and prepare to leave the room. Your ascent is graceful and you glide upwards through the chakras once more. You rest in your heart chakra, home once again, calm, strengthened and at peace. The whole process has filled you with warmth.

‘Red Leaves’ is a powerful essence; a certain degree of caution is needed when using it, as it will shift stuff. It is advisable to use it on a day where you can be with yourself and take time to go for a walk in Nature while the essence does its work.

Particularly helpful during the Autumn Season:

Glorious colours of the Autumn season. The green leaves turning to brilliant shades of red and crimson. This time of year is a signal to remind us that the energies from the chakras start their descent into the lower chakras during the time of the Autumn and Winter moons. This essence helps us to clear any accumulated stuck energy in these chakras clearing our way for our forthcoming Autumn and Winter experiences.

NOVEMBER Updates

What a month we have all just come through! However, as I said in the Astrology notes earlier, I do feel that November will be a much better month than October. Use November to recharge and reboost yourself, protect your immune system and eat well despite the cold weather. November is a turning point for all of us (and we can see from the planetary activity how we will all be nudged/kicked into this).

November is the month for preparing for 21 December 2012. I do not feel the world will end, however Frankenstorm being so massive gave us an early warning of what can happen. Make time every day to send light out to our world and Her inhabitants. Send love to the Earth Mother and Her inhabitants. Every day we need to make this commitment in order to help us all through December and beyond.

As I have mentioned before in previous newsletters, over the past 10 years we have proved over and over again, how the power of united consciousness focusing on the same thing can make a huge difference. Together we have lessened the severity of some of the things that have happened, which is extraordinary! So many times there should have been far more loss of life, but there wasn’t because of you. Because you took the time to care enough to send energy, prayers, love, healing and light to what was going on. We cannot know exactly what will happen next which is why I have suggested we make this daily commitment. Enough innocents have suffered, it is time to lift this planet into its new state of Being and Love is the most powerful tool we have to make this happen.

Use November to heal those last residues of fear and the old stuff that is stuck in your body making it hurt. Heal your emotions, manage your mind and pamper your physical.

Once more our Guides, Guardians and Angels have come closer to us. Ask them for help, they cannot do anything unless you ask them. Ask for the big things as well as the little things. Ask every day, several times a day, get that dialogue going and soon it will become effortless. This planet matters to the Universe, which is why they are coming close to help us. Once you have the dialogue going you will also be able to receive guidance from them. Prayer is sooooooo powerful. And I think we all need to pray hard, and take action on the guidance we are given – however far out it might seem at the time.

Rather than being afraid of 21 December, remember that December has always been a month of miracles, and miracles still do happen. Don’t get caught up in the fear of what is happening and stop watching the news over and over (that traps you in the pain body of the masses) as it doesn’t help you or anyone else, it lowers your vibration. If you are afraid, light a candle and pray and focus on the light, draw it into you. Visualize the outcome/s you want and make it so – miracles do happen – so let’s create miracles together.

Birth is a miracle - the Earth is undergoing a birth - you are the Midwife. So how would you speak to that new baby? How would you treat it? What thoughts would you have about it? We are all Spiritual Midwives now; that is why we are here on this planet at this particular time. Prepare yourself and the Earth for the most important birth ever.

Many reported feeling dizziness and nausea; this was caused by recent powerful Full Moon and also by the series of Earthquakes and Volcanoes that happened over the past few weeks. The Frankenstorm also triggered lots of these types of symptoms as the pressure built up to the Full Moon. As soon as the Moon peaked, the pressure suddenly stopped and things started to settle down again.

Lightworkers, Healers and Earth Sensitives will continue to feel the Earthly, astrological and vibrational energies and pressure. So be kind to yourselves and others, especially those who don’t understand all this and don’t know why they are feeling out of sorts. Take your ‘Ascension Support’ essence to help you cope with the energies. Those who prefer using spray mists can use the ‘Cosmic Surfing’ and/or ‘Ascension Support’ spray mists, which will calm your aura down and can be used in the home to keep everyone else calm, including pets.

Aches and pains – especially in the bones - became stronger due to the recent Full Moon (which still shines powerfully despite being on the wane) as well as us picking up Earth symptoms. So if you have had sharp little pains in strange places like the middle of your fingers etc, don’t worry it will pass. You are also still clearing from last month, and sometimes when we are going through a healing process, our ‘stuff’ can get stuck in the strangest areas of our body until it is ready to clear. There does seem to be an accelerated detox going on right now to prepare us for December. Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins and stress hormones, and if the weather is too cold, drink warm boiled water instead to keep your water fluids up. Eat well and try and get some good sleep – which hasn’t been easy lately with the energies. And get some healing if you can, it will help to move any energy that is stuck. (We have been dancing weekly again which has helped us do this in a fun way).

The sifting and sorting of people in your life continues. 2012 has been all about who will and won’t be travelling with you into 2013 and beyond. My wise woman friend, Barbara Venn-Lever, mentioned a week ago that some old ‘friends’ have been coming out of the woodwork and expecting us to put up with their cr*p once again. I have seen this with many of my clients these past few weeks also. It’s not easy letting go of people especially if they are family or people you have know for many years; however, it has to be done to clear your pathway for next year and beyond. Allow yourself to grieve for the loss, and know that whilst this chapter closes another brand new chapter is opening up for you now.

Truth continues to be revealed in all areas of life. I have been saying for several years that we are now in the Era of Truth. Indeed, I was told by the Elders many years ago, that this would be the Era of Truth, that the masses would no longer allow themselves to be hoodwinked by so-called authority or media. Thanks to all the work you and your fellow Lightworkers have done, you have raised the vibration of the masses so that they are now becoming more aware of what is going on around them. They are no longer sheeple merely following along, they are now questioning. However, there is still much work to do. A large proportion of the masses continues to remain asleep and is functioning in permanent reactive mode (I was saddened when the robbing and looting started so quickly after Frankenstorm had blown through however, I was greatly heartened to see communities pulling together to help each other). So much is being revealed now and that gives me great hope that as a global community we are making change happen.

The hardest part of this time that we are now in; is that we are in the Dark before the Dawn. It has been heartbreaking to see how many children have gone missing recently and other crimes that we have heard about. No Eyes, the Chippewa medicine woman, predicted back in the 80’s that all these sorts of things would happen and she has been right about everything. (The book was written by Mary Summer Rain, her apprentice, and is called ‘Phoenix Rising’). However, this is what our Ascension journey has been all about, bringing us to 21 December 2012. Whilst things may get more intense toward the year’s end, know that we are in the final stages of this journey and that the brave, new light of Dawn is within glimpsing distance now. Hang on in there when the going gets a bit bumpy, soon the Dawn of the New Era will be here. Transitions are often painful, however the rewards are always worth it. We are in the end stages of labour and soon the new will be born and we will celebrate joyfully together.

KEY for the month: PRAYER

Prayer brings Peace. Prayer reminds us of the responsibility we have (and our ability to respond). Prayer makes us Aware and helps us to encourage awareness in others. Prayer reminds us to be yielding and not fight and resist what needs to happen. Prayer embraces, it does not discriminate. Prayer enables us to rise up and take action, it helps us to raise our vibration, the vibration of our environment and all those we pray with. Think your prayers. Sing your prayers. Shout your prayers. Dance your prayers. Be your prayers.

OCTOBER Updates

Astrology heads up

Saturn (the Task Master) leaves Libra and moves into Scorpio. Saturn in Scorpio = letting go of control.

All you Librans out there can breathe a sign of relief that Saturn has now left your sign. Things will start to get better for you from the middle/end of October onwards. The past 2-3 years have been pretty hard going for you, as Saturn taught you - and all of us - to set our limits and boundaries, to stand up for ourselves, to learn how to say no, and to become stronger inside and able to step up to our responsibilities. Those who worked with Saturn and learned from his lessons can now reap the rewards, as the next few years are going to making things easier and more abundant for you.

What about us Scorps? Well I have been dreading Saturn going into Scorpio, I personally have found the past few years pretty tough going. Well as it’s in Scorpio it means that we will be going deeper with issues that need healing in order to free us up for greater success. However, there is a mutual reception with Pluto going on which means it may not be as difficult as it could be – IF – we work with Saturn and accept his lessons rather than against or resisting what must happen.

I have already mentioned before (several times) about surrendering to the Will of the Divine, well we will all be getting lessons in how to do that over the next 2-3 years. It will be a time of personal transformation, we will learn about where and how we use our power and control (and where and how we lose it). This will be scary at times and may cause you to panic, however we need to remember that this must happen and so the quicker we can adjust to what is going on and change our thinking about it and surrender to it, the quicker we will master that particular lesson and be able to move on. Something must be given up first before we can move on and succeed. It really will be a time to “feel the fear and do it anyway”, if we face our fears head on, they can no longer hurt us or affect our lives and we will be free of them forever. If you accept this like a Warrior/ess, then there is nothing that you cannot achieve over the next few years.

On the positive side it is a time where incredible joy can be experienced with opportunities to create and amass great wealth. On the down side, we will have to deal with losses and pain in order to realise these rewards. (This is a cycle that all Scorps are totally familiar with!). For those in business, be very careful during the next 2-3 years who you collaborate with as “unbreakable bonds” will be formed under Saturn in Scorpio. Be sure, be committed and be loyal, otherwise you will be in for an almighty power battle that will turn nasty and have complications.

For those advanced on their spiritual pathway, it can be a rewarding, joyful and exciting time. Saturn and Pluto both offer the gifts of strength: Saturn’s is endurance and Pluto’s is empowerment. We can only become empowered when we surrender control of the ego and trust in Divine Will. The losses we must experience over the coming years are part of our journey to overcome ego, which blocks us from being our true, radiant, beautiful, successful selves.

The years 2013, 2014 and 2015 are “not for sissies” but are for Warriors/Warrioresses, and whether we like it or not we are all going to have to be a Warrior/ess in order to survive this transit and benefit from its rewards.

SIGNS WHO FEEL THE BLESSING OF SATURN IN SCORPIO:
If you are a TAURUS, Saturn is opposite of your sun sign. This brings you ample opportunities you may have been waiting a long time for. Fear not, they are here and you can look forward to final decisions that are going to change your life in the best of ways.

CAPRICORN and VIRGO folks have a sextile to transiting Saturn. Your years ahead are about work, but fear not. Any work you put in WILL be rewarded. Just stay focused, organized and disciplined....these are things you do already, so it should be an easy, not a rocky path for you, in this next 2.5 years.

CANCER and PISCES are trine to Saturn in Scorpio. You are going to find your lives really becoming easy, be in the ‘flow’ and anything you want, will come without a whole lot of fuss. All the hard work you’ve put in the past few years will now be rewarded! The Cosmic cookie basket will be handed to you!

ARIES and GEMINI are inconjunct to Saturn in Scorpio. You will be put between a rock and hard place--and nowhere to go--but move through the challenges that will definitely be placed at your doorstep. The good news is if you will buckle down, do the seriously hard work, be disciplined and organized, you’ll find this 2.5 year period honing you to perfection. If you don’t, you’re going to be utterly miserable. So, take the high road and do the work.

LEO and AQUARIUS are square to Saturn in Scorpio. A square aspect means a “building block” or a “stumbling block.” Up to you how you approach the challenges that come your way. It’s your mental attitude, your perspective toward life that will make this 2.5 years one way or another. You’ll get opportunities for sure, but it also means hard work, discipline and organization. If you can bring these tools out of your work chest, you’ll be rewarded at the end of this transit.

LIBRA and SAGITTARIUS have a semi-sextile to Saturn in Scorpio. This is considered a ‘minor irritation’ aspect. It means that while you have dreams, objectives and visions you want to put on the ground, do expect some minor delays or changes. A little patience will go a long way in this situation and you’ll get what you want.

SCORPIO – Saturn gives you the opportunity to reinvent yourself completely. You may have already experienced several losses in your life and are feeling as though you are starting from scratch. You may change jobs, you may embark on a totally new career, old relationships drop away and you begin to make changes in your life that reorient you to a more authentic expression of you. It’s vital that you take complete responsibility for your own happiness. Look at the areas in your life where you have been unwilling to change and these are precisely the areas that will be affected by this transit. Try to be kind and gentle with yourself and see this transit as giving you the opportunity to get rid of the things in your life that have not been making you happy to make way for new things and people that will fulfill you and bring you greater joy.

DARK NIGHTS: 12^th, 13^th, 14^th October

NEW MOON – 15^th October in Libra @ 13:02pm BST

This New Moon in kind, fair-minded Libra will occur on October 15^th in the UK. The New Moon is a time to start again, an opportunity to start anew and bring in the new. New moons encourage reassessment and planning for the month ahead, you may have a need to be alone during the first few days. You also may want to stay at home and may not feel you have the energy for going out or travelling. Any seeds (ideas and positive energy) planted during a New Moon will culminate and flourish during the Full Moon. The New Moon to Full Moon is a time of creation and expansion, of dynamic energy. What are you going to create for your coming month ahead, where are you going to focus your energies?

This New Moon invites us to open ourselves up to meeting new friends in our personal and business lives. It is a great time for new and existing relationships to “develop, grow and flourish”. Energy and enthusiasm increases now, allowing us to expand in all areas of our lives. Be open to trying something new whether that’s something new to study, joining a new group, going for a new job, or a something that you have always wanted to have a go at doing. Start as you mean to go on right now re making your dreams come true - just don’t over-commit or make promises you can’t deliver. Lovely Libra reminds us to keep a balance in all we do (especially not allowing heart to rule head but using a sensible balance of both). Improve existing relationships, open to new ones and keep a balance in all that you do over the coming weeks.

FULL MOON 29^th October in Taurus @ 19:49pm BST

The Full Moon in sensuous, earthy Taurus will occur on October 29^th in the UK. The Full Moon is a powerful culmination and celebration of all that you have achieved in the past few weeks. It is the peak of the month and the harvesting of all that you have planted and created since the New Moon. Now the events of recent weeks come to a ripe fullness. Breathe a sigh of relief and celebrate. Remember the Full Moon is the best time for feasting, mating and debating! So set aside some quality time for you and your beloved, eat something wonderful, talk to each other, and love, love, love, under the light of the Full Moon. (And if you are on your own, do this for yourself and enjoy!). Remember Full Moons are the right time for celebrating and revelling in your successes.

PRODUCT of the MONTH

The WITCHES FRIEND

Essence – Spray Mist – Power Oil

This essence is given as a gift to all those who are ‘witches’. As you know anyone who heals, works with the plant kingdom, chants and prays can be considered a witch. A witch is a powerful woman who loves and works with the Earth Mother, to help her community in whatever way she can, by using the skills and gifts she has been given.

The essence brings you protection. Those that may feel drawn to you will only be able to go so far before they feel the forcefield of protection that is around you. Then they will realise that you need to be approached with respect.

Perhaps the most powerful aspect of this essence is the way that it enhances your ability to become a receiver/high frequency channeller and transmitter/broadcaster, taking this essence enables you to receive various forms of communication.

Message from the Essence:

“Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid to be seen.

Do not be afraid to be known for the work that you do

(you have much to offer and much to share).

Be of good cheer and stout heart.

Listen to your heart.

Keep your third eye clear.

Stay grounded and listen to the guidance from your Earth Mother

And All Will Be Well”

October Updates

We truly are in the greatest time of transformation that we have ever experienced. The Wheel of the Year has turned and we are now dancing with Autumn Woman, who encourages us to shed what we no longer need, and Cousin Wind, who is blowing in the much needed changes loud and strong.

As I have mentioned since the beginning of the year, 2012 is a year of change and responsibility. Apart from the obvious changes as mentioned above, there is a lot of internal change going on too. Many have a feeling they cannot put their finger on, they are aware of sensing something but don’t quite know what that is yet. Some feel uneasy with this, some feel fine but have this fluttering in their tummies, some are feeling it in their bones that change is afoot and on its way.

I feel sometimes that we are individual chess pieces being carefully moved into a stronger position only we’re not quite sure where on the board we will be or even which board! We are being nudged into independence whether we like it or not. Whether that’s emotional independence, financial independence, whatever, this is the year when we have to grow up and deal with it.

Many, many years ago I was told that the Guides and Angels would start to withdraw as we entered the Era of Personal Responsibility. This is to do with where we are at with Mother Earth. We have to wake up and grow up now. We have to own responsibility for the state the planet is in and the state Her people are in. We are being required to stand on our own two feet and change things for the next seven generations that follow us. You are only responsible for yourself and no-one and nothing else. If you sort you out, then the rest will follow suit. The Earth cannot heal unless you are healed. Peace cannot reign unless you are totally peaceful. Abundance cannot happen for all until poverty and victim consciousness has been overcome. This really is the time for us to step fully into our roles as Rainbow Warriors and Caretakers of the Earth. We are responsible. There is no point in waiting for politicians and governments to do anything (they are the old world that is now crumbling), it is the time of People Power – Peaceful People Power – to bring about change.

So stand tall Warrior/ess. Don’t be afraid to stand on your own now. Despite all the fear about world financial collapse, I truly believe that we will make it through. There is no way that we would have been allowed to take part in this incarnation if it wasn’t to fulfil our roles as Peace Ambassadors and Rainbow Warriors/Warrioresses. Be proud of your spiritual heritage. Remember who you are and why you are here. Stand tall!

This change of season has seen an increase in colds and sniffles, on this side of the pond the current epidemic is the 100 Day Whooping Cough virus. Stay healthy. Wear a scarf if there is a cool or cold wind. Eat nutritiously, lots of bone broths and root veggies soup, more green veggies and citrus fruit etc. We tend to drop our water intake in cold weather so need to remember to drink enough, ensure it is at room temperature or drink boiled water that will warm you up from the inside. Stock up on immune boosting herbal tinctures such as Echinacea and winter supplements such as Vitamin D.

The recent powerful Harvest Full Moon saw a big increase in Healing Prayers requests and in the personal challenges that we are all currently dancing with. Yet interestingly now that the Moon is on the wane, our energy is being restored, many are once more feeling lifted into the light after several weeks of darkness.

WEIGHT fluctuations

Continue for some as we adjust to all that we are dealing with in our 3-D lives and also on the many different energy levels. Eat as healthily as you can but don’t deny yourself anything, a little of what you fancy won’t make much difference. Balance is the key. The weight will drop off again once you feel more settled. (Also once you have shifted the old emotions that you are holding onto. Use this transit to help you let go of more of the past and the people in it).

DYSLEXIA

Spiritual dyslexia has increased again recently, due to the energies. Once you are settled on all levels and fully grounded, this will improve. However for me it seems to have been going on for weeks. My head has felt on another planet and I have had great difficulty with the English language!

SIGNS

Signs are being presented to us now, frequently and literally right under our noses. In the past week I have received several. The first was when I was sorting through some old files in the office, a couple of tiny pieces of paper fluttered to the floor and I was about to throw them straight in the bin, when something prompted me to look at them. One said “a new career” and the other said “new directions”. The folder they had fallen out of was our Manifestation Board folder and I had kept some left over pictures and quotes. I felt the first one is for Pete (but may also be for me) and the new directions one is for me. Perfect timing and perfect confirmation of what I have been feeling. (And just as I was about to send out this e-zine I have had some signs of where I may be headed).

During the rest of the past week I saw more butterflies that I have seen all Summer, all different types, dancing in front of me, around me, in the garden etc. Again perfect confirmation of where I am at right now.

I also had a little Honey Bee fly under the rim of my hat, kiss me on my Third Eye and fly out again.

It was been an awesome week, reminding me of the support that is unseen that truly supports us, believes in us and only wants the best for us. Our Guides/Guardians/Ancestors/Angels are all right behind us, all keen for us to fulfil our true purpose in our new independent and strong way.

When you open to the Will of the Divine and allow yourself to be guided, the signs and synchronicities happen effortlessly.

CHOICES

We are all being asked to make choices now in all areas of our lives. This is part of Saturn in Scorpio’s influence also. We are being given the chance to rebirth ourselves in every area of our lives. We need to be very careful about the choices we make now as they will influence the coming 2-3 years. You know if you have to make a choice, that you must trust what feels right for you, right down into your bones. You must choose for yourself and not worry what others will think – this is SO important.

EARTH SENSITIVES

Your symptoms have been increasing as the earthquakes and volcano eruptions have once more increased. Many experiencing pain throughout their entire bodies particularly in their bones, as they pick up the pain in the Earth Mother’s body at this time. The Earth Mother has been having contractions for some time as She prepares to birth the New World, and these are increasing.

GRIEF energy and loss continues as we let go of what we no longer need. With Saturn in Scorpio we will be going into deeper issues that need to be healed and let go of. Support yourself with good friends and essences when you are going through the tough stuff, and if you need some help, just contact me.

INSIGHT and Clarity improves and increases dramatically now for those who have been letting go and surrendering to the Will of the Divine. I have been going on about this a lot lately and I know I need to surrender more, because the Divine Plan knows better than I do and I need to open to receiving its guidance. Connection to Spirit is so easy now and at a much higher vibratory level. Keep a note of all of your dreams (day and night) and any flashes of insight that will come through now.

Be prepared to dive deep with Scorpio over the next few years and remember that you are birthing your true, magnificent Self. We are all on a journey now to find, become and reveal our uniqueness. So stop putting yourself down and don’t let anyone else put you down or put you off. Let go of who you have been and who others expect you to still be. You may find that you want a complete change of image and want to change your home or what is in it. Celebrate who you are now and who you are becoming and never, ever, be afraid to share your magnificent Self with the world. (If anyone doesn’t like it, tough, that’s their problem not yours). We are moving into a time where we can no longer hide our magnificence, others need to see it so that they can have the courage to reveal theirs.
