As spiritual beings living in a human form we have such an opportunity to truly express from the highest octave. In these challenging times its easy to forget that we CAN master the limitations that are certainly here, right now, whatever challenge we are facing, no matter how overwhelming. I share from my own experience that when things appear to be very bleak in my life I just stop what I am doing...take a breathe..and go within. I may not hear that still voice when I am in despair but I remind myself when I have heard it or just listen and feel my breathe...the breathe of life. Breathe that reminds me of the creator, the holy spirit, God, Goddess etc. Life that is precious. The aliveness of life itself, which reminds me of my potential for expression...my soul's expression. As I breathe a shift may take place just then and I feel the flow of my aliveness or perhaps I need to move my body through movement, swimming or just toning or singing. A great way to shift energy is to sing the word Figaro a few times in a loud operatic tone. Its fun too. The point is to keep going to the highest octave and allow the river of life to flow through us! It is only our belief that it cannot be done (along with the mass hallucination of the planet) that binds us, putting a lid on the fountain so ready to spout. Indeed we are rivers. There is a compelling urge within each of us to live from that place of Truth. Every living creature has that pull to let the river flow like never before, to be all that we can be! That river (expression) is seen in the creativity that abounds in our world. Mozart's beautiful music, Keats poetry, Michael Jackson's dance and song, the works of many whom we call masters. Through their commitment, focus and many struggles they learned to let go and let the Divine flow through them. They may not have been conscious of the process, but at some point they just let go. We see this expression of the soul in a child's laughter, the innocence and purity of their being in the moment. Always in newness.
So dear ones may your river flow like never before, may you continue to be nourished by the abundance of the Universe as you live a soulful life, a life of honoring the Truth of who you are. You may still have challenges but I promise you that the beauty that flows through you will override the challenges and set your free!
Blessed Be!

I'd like to share about Uranus, another of my favorite planets. When I think of Uranus, the planetary ruler of Aquarius, I think of change, change and change. Sudden change at that. Uranus energy is like a quick shock, awakening us to some new perception or reality. This energy can liberate us from past limitation, freeing us to move in a new direction, perhaps getting us out of a rut, dismantling the illusion one has been living in. Uranian individuals (those with strong Uranus influence and/or Sun, Moon or Ascendent in Aquarius) often deviate from the norm. They can be rebels, inventors, revolutionaries. I've been watching American Idol this season and am reminded of one of the top contestants Adam Lambert. Born under the sign of Aquarius, he personifies that Uranian energy with his unusualness and his true genius as shown in his creative song delivery. He stands out and keeps surprising us with his talent.
Uranus is about freedom and in the birth chart it indicates how and where we can be free in our life creating meaningful change and express our own uniqueness.
Currently Uranus is in the sign of Pisces. Pisces is a water sign representing the emotions and the soul. Picean energy is about knowing that everything in life is innerconnected, that we are all one. Its about living the dream or a higher ideal, continually working towards the fruition of that. Pisces rules photography, music, the arts. With Uranus the awakener in Pisces we are dismantling illusions that have kept us from living our dream, from truly tapping into our soul, the truth of who we are. More and more people are awaking spiritually and many more asking who am I? Why am I here? It is exciting as we slowly shed our masks and allow our true nature to be revealed. There is so much more to be said about the energy of this planet, I've only given you a little taste. Enjoy it, savor it and let freedom reign within you!
Blessed Be,
Greetings and Happy New Year! I would like to start off the new year with sharing some astrology, which is one of my passions. My idea is to each month or so share about the energies of a planet, sign or asteroid, etc. and how it may be influencing us at this time. (Please note that I do not believe we are at the mercy of astrology, we do have free will and there is a Source much greater)
From my perspective astrology, a language, an art and science, is a tool for opening the heart, assisting in the recovery of the lost and forgotten parts of our self. It works because it is a form of tapping into a bigger connectedness than we normally relate to. Like a giant treasure map it leads the way to the core of our blocked energy, our talent and expression. We can then make wiser choices for our life. The horoscope or birth chart is like a photograph of the solar system at the exact time of birth. This celestial map, shaped as a circle, consists of 12 signs of the zodiac, planets and asteroids and 12 houses. It literally tells our story in a wonderous way. The planets and asteroids symbolize the type of energies to be expressed and aspects of the personality. The signs show how these energies are expressed and the houses represent the area of life, for example, career or relationships.
I would like to start with PLUTO the planet of power and transformation, sometimes called the ruler of the four biggies: money, power, death and sex. Pluto in the birth chart indicates how and where one may undergo great change throughtout the life. Pluto is a light shining on those dark places within. There is usually a death of the old, that which no longer serves us, then finally a rebirth , something new and more suited for us. The process of transformation is not easy and we often want to control it, to stop it, to figure it all out, but it is organic and like the snake shedding it's skin we will be improved with this new skin.
In January of last year Pluto moved into the sign of Capricorn for a short time, then returned to Sagittarius where it had been for fifteen years, moving again into Capricorn November 26th where it will be for many years. What does this mean? Well, as Pluto represents the principle of deep transformation and power and Capricorn rules all structures and systems we will see the light shining in all the nooks and crannies of political arena, economic, educational, corporate, etc. on the local, national and global level. We certainly know about the economic shift over the past year. Pluto's light is showing us what we haven't been able to see. On a personal level, all areas of our life are affected, our basic foundation, the way we structure our life...not just physically, but mentally, emotionally and spiritually. More and more of us is required to step up to the plate, to come into balance. Like the snake shedding its skin we too are growing a new skin, methinks a new world while we are at it. We are being asked to be vulnerable to open our hearts and surrender, ask for help if you need it. Is Pluto's light shining on your health, your relationship with someone you love or don't love, has your income been seriously reduced? To fight the shift just means more suffering. Remembering Pluto rules the capacity for self-transformation and self-renewal can remind us to be loyal to the light within that ignites our courage and faith and the joy that is our true nature!
So dear ones that is Pluto for now. If you are curious how all of this affects you and your chart you may wish to schedule a reading it can be fun to learn more about your wonderous story!
Blessed Be.
