Another full moon is upon us-tonight!-and that means time for another round of Joyful Manifesting. You can still register until tomorrow midnight...at http://joyfulmanifesting.com. 

Allow the powerful energy shifts of the Joyful Manifesting program to assist you...to support you...to help you get clear..to let go and open to the new, and get aligned with what you want to bring in with these powerful energies that are here now. 

It's not only a full moon but it's a lunar eclipse and a rare configuration called a blood moon.  There are many prophecies and predictions around this planetary event.  I tend to ignore those that are about doomsday and Revelation-like apocalypse and seek meaning and guidance..what is leaving, what is coming in, what are we being asked to re-examine and shift?   I look for information that is empowering and that asks me to look at what I can do, or what consciousness to hold.

For this Blood Moon Energy, take time to meditate, turn inside, get quiet and listen...however YOU do that.  

Here is some information from a longer article, these were excerpts I found meaningful.  You can read the full article here:

 “With this last Aries Blood Moon Total Lunar Eclipse, it’s time to integrate the endings, awakenings, transformations and death and rebirth experiences related to the balance of Self and Other, completing our initiation into a more balanced exchange between the masculine and feminine energies of life as well as between women and men.”

-Cathy Pagano (click name for full article)

*******
“First and foremost we want to dramatically change our relationship with ourselves - as anything we want or need or desire OUT THERE can only be fulfilled and truly experienced when we have found it IN HERE.

“Any relationships that are on solid footing are fine- you may experience things that rock your boat, but if your ship does not have holes in it and you are both willing to do the work to row to a safe harbor you will be fine.

“For others who have issues up and perhaps have large holes in their boat- this final Eclipse may be a time to think about whether those issues/holes can be fixed and if both people are willing to do the work necessary to fix them- or if it’s better to jump ship before you go down with it…”

Here is a long article, pretty far out..but uplifting...take what is useful..leave the rest! 

Final Blood Moon: Anchoring unity creation September 24, 2015 by Lauren                                       
             
Happy belated equinox dear people of HEART! We may have merely survived another season of ascension, but the one that follows promises to be unlike ANY other…in the history of everness.

When I sat down to transcribe this report, the first words that entered my mind were: “The new world consciousness begins now.”  If you are not feeling the truth of that already, you will soon enuf. We all have our own perfect, unique, divine timing…one that dovetails into the perfection of our lives, relationships and personal creations. Aka, ALL is well.

If you’re reading this then you already know that September is and has been a HUGE, supercharged month of majorly shifting tides.  For some, a life-changing ‘event is on the horizon’, for others a deeper call to full truth, but for ALL…whether conscious or not…a turning point is definitely on tap.

A brand new frequency, steady & ready to take us to the heights of sustainable creative bliss. Certainly there is a whole lotta colorful hype about what this upcoming final blood moon heralds for humanity, but just like when 2012 came and went, these events are never what we conjure up in our heads.

That is definitely not to say that amazing, unspeakable gifts of goodness won’t befall us…in fact, this is already happening for some…it’s just that these waves of energy don’t affect everyone in the same way, at the same time. In the world of causality, the interpretations are spanning the gamut in the usual, polarizing ways…from the common “mass rapture” talk at one end, to the always popular doom & gloom theories at the other.

This is pretty typical aggrandizement for duality, where the separated mind tends to gravitate toward extremes…but we know better.  We know that in unity, the truth is always somewhere in the middle and solely contingent on Self…
on how much LOVE we can hold in our HEARTs and how much light we can carry in our cells.

We know that in 5D, that is the only gauge we ever have for how we experience anything.

Yes, we are all receiving this energy… no, not everyone is ready to utilize it. Yes, this energy will change things in the world around us in grandiose ways…no, it will not be immediate. The point is that the unified heart-mind is unconcerned with “what will happen out there” knowing that the creation of worlds is all an inside job. (And yes, that includes things like: the global economy.)  Those who get that concept, and employ it consistently and without fail, are those who are ready to benefit immediately from this serious boost of Source.

Speaking of which, and moving deeper into the second eclipse/blood super moon combo, there is absolutely a brand new, fully tangible, never-before-experienced frequency being delivered to us as I write this, resulting in a tremendous momentum of creation energy brought forth to the planet.  It has been pulsing thru us since the solar eclipse and, from what I am told, will span the rest of this year and beyond…most notably from (September) equinox to (March) equinox of 2016…but we are in the thick of it right now, rising to the crescendo point.

And tho I say that it is being “delivered to us”, the starry folk remind me that while this energy wave is seemingly arriving from a Source outside of ourselves (ie, the galactic center) that we need to keep the holographic and empowered perspective that it is in fact coming FROM us, not TO us in the sense that we ourselves…aka, the Source inside of us…is heralding it. From the (3D) outside-in perspective it looks and feels as tho this energy is coming into our hearts when in actuality…from the (5D) inside-out perspective…it is our awakened hearts that is actually calling it forth. Simple perspective shift, profound difference…and one we must maintain to create in unity, where there is no separation between Self and Source.

This fortified, effervescent frequency is bringing with it many things known and unknown…but of the most pressing, according to our star kin and therefore the focus of this article, is our return to creator God status. Back in the July report the Pleiadians mentioned that moving into August (via the lion’s gate) we would be reconnecting with our magic powers…cultivating creativity to the point that we may actually be able to DO something with it.  What they failed to mention, however (and likely on purpose), was the eruption of old energy around creation that would emerge for mass clearing. 😳

So, soon after the 888 gateway you may have definitely been throttled by a good ole fashioned dust-up of old unresolved/unLOVEd feelings around your creator power/powerlessness and purpose…ie, whether or not you feel in command of your life, of sustaining yourself solely on the merit of BEing GOD.  This may have been served with a side dish of poverty thinking (for review), or at the least, a moment to reassess where you sit now on the prosperity-lack continuum.

BUT, beneath those old stories, and the extent to which you are willing/able to let go-move on…is a beautiful new consistent flow of (unity) creation that is steady and ready to take those prepared to the heights of sustainable creative bliss. You may be already be feeling this creative fire beginning to burn inside of you in ways you haven’t felt since before 2012…aka, since before all of our focus was on the monumental and unforgiving task of clearing out the lower body system in preparation for ensoulment.  The best part is…depending on how clear your vessel…the momentum of this creative surge is going to continue to build as we all power up individually, and then spread this LOVE thru the grids. As the grid pulses with this concentrated Source frequency (think: 100th monkey) it enables more and more people to awaken, to bump up, to receive new creative orders (downloads from our spiritual blueprints) for exciting, purposeful new earth endeavors.

Again, if you are not feeling the ecstasy of said vibration, don’t fret. The point, as always, is that it’s here-now and available for everyONE and ALL who consciously choose to do what it takes to embody it. There is no rush, and this is not a race.  We have a very long, exciting road ahead, so pace yourself.  We know full-well the encompassing journey of purification-to-embodiment and it is never something worth expediting…or trying to. It’s like the Seven Sisters of Pleiades once said:  “The point isn’t where you are on the journey, it’s that you’re on it at all.”  

Cosmically speaking, this is beyond an exciting time…it is something we won’t be able to wrap our brains around in totality yet, but rest assured it is everything we are here for, everything we worked toward is happening now. And as we move into the fullness of the new/unified creation energy, those ready (those who have completed the karmic recycling program) will experience a “clicking into place” as the first group of souls moves deep into the flow of all good things…without a paddle!

There is a leap required, and you will know it when it presents, but don’t hesitate because that step in faith will quickly be replaced by the tremendous magnetic support of your universe. Are you ready to finally and fully PLAY with passion, purpose & potential to live and LOVE limitlessly? It’s GO time.

New Moon Update October 4th

As always, I find the planetary updates from the Power Path very helpful so I am sharing the latest one below, for the New Moon on October 4th.

Happy New Moon, and wishing you  a most transformational month of October...I have two main group offerings this month: "Mercury Retrograde E-Z" and
"Shine Out and Prosper: Confidence and Marketing Moxie for Heart-Centered Women". 

Check them out at my website, www.repattern.com.

And here's the Power Path info:

"....With Sun and Moon in Libra, the Venus ruler has considerable emphasis in the New Moon chart. Because Venus is in Scorpio at the moment, we find her in a more intense, powerful aspect of herself. She is wearing the raiment of the Dark Feminine; she pulls us deep to cleanse ourselves of that which needs to shrivel and slough off so new growth can fill our souls from deep within. She is rebalancing the relationship of the Feminine to the Masculine. Healing and forgiving of the past imbalance between these two energies is being called to the foreground.

Let's look at the two asteroid goddess energies that are squaring the North and South Nodes – the points that release what we have brought from the past (that we now feel we have the strength and power to release-south) and the point of growth in this lifetime (north). Both Pallas Athena and Juno are in a dynamic, stressful, crisis-causing relationship to the Nodes as points of release and growth.

Both are sub-rulers of Libra. Pallas Athena, Wisdom Goddess, is focused on justice, fairness, balance and social equality. By springing full grown clothed in shield and armor from her father Zeus's head, she entered the masculine world and directed her kundalini energy into the mental, artistic and healing realms embodying courage and strength and mastering creative visualization and manifestation.

In the face of the rising patriarchy, Juno (Hera) willingly surrendered her position as Queen of Heaven to partake of divine union and fulfillment with another –Zeus, but in the end, this union was not realized and instead his destruction of her fertility practices and infidelities bred betrayal, deep jealousy and frustration. In the last turn of the ages, much buried power struggle and negative emotional energy exists within the feminine psyche that needs to be transformed and released to create anew our capacity for committed relationship and equal partnership that these three feminine archetypes, Venus, Pallas Athena and Juno, so fervently desire.

As the strength of the Feminine reemerges, what has been compromised within each of us in our relationship to our inner masculine will be brought to the light and healed, and as our inner sacred marriage is given expression, so will it flourish in our outer world. There is no better opportunity to spend time and attention on right relationship than when Libra and Venus hold open the portal for you to the inner divine temple of love and relationship.

If we dial back from the personal, a major dance is taking place between Uranus and Pluto. They are within 1º of an exact square to each other. On November 1st just before the eclipse of the New Moon, will be their fourth exact square of seven over a period of three years – 2012-2015. We are bracketing an intense learning period and growth curve; of course, it's uncomfortable!

What they say about Pluto's influence is 'it's almost more than the organism can bear...' kind of like childbirth, I guess. Pluto likes to extract a high price for his favors, so there are opportunities for some to be called on to give of what they cling to most desperately.

But Pluto rewards with deep transformation, clarity, release and personal power. So think about how you want to engage the energy. Total resistance to change? (like our childish Congress), extreme bonks on the head? (lost jobs, great debt, desperation, self destruction, etc.) Or surrender? and the mysterious darkness of the chrysalis when absolute, liquefying chaos reigns until the reemergence of essence occurs with beauty, freedom, and delight.

If you use the influence of Uranus in Aries to take a major personal risk, to put yourself on the line by stretching your edges maximally, to go for something innovative instead of status quo, then you will be using the times wisely and be rewarded by feeling more alive, energized and fool hardy than you may have felt in decades.

In addition, Uranus in Aries is in a Thor's Hammer configuration with Venus square Mars (feminine and masculine) reiterating and reinforcing some of the themes about the yin/yang polarities we were looking at earlier through Pallas Athena, Juno and the Nodes. A Thor's Hammer wields a lot of energy, is stressful and can bring things to crisis. A huge push is awakening us to underlying issues in our gender relationships. I just have to recommend Joseph Gordon-Levitt's film that he wrote, directed and stars in called "Don Jon". He's speaking about the influence of porn on sexuality. That's a Plutonian topic, if I ever saw one, and one that could use some transformation!

Whatever challenges exist are balanced by support and outlets for all the tension being created by the release we are all called on to step up to. Pluto remains extremely supportive with a positive relationship to Saturn (and Chiron). Saturn rules the bones and hard structures of the body and Pluto is taking the opportunity to regenerate patterns that go the deepest and hold our most limiting fears. We are making huge breakthroughs everyday especially in groups who gather to do the transformative, world shifting work that Pluto, Uranus, Saturn like to do.

Full Moon on October 18 will mark the beginning of the eclipse window with a lunar eclipse followed by a New Moon solar eclipse on November 3rd. Eclipse windows (about every six months) always allow us to reboot our systems and realign our selves to the cosmos. Mercury goes retrograde in Scorpio on October 21st until it turns direct again on November 10th. Many of you will sense that energy the week before and the week after. A good reminder that just like the trees and plants, it's time to turn our energy inward here in the Northern hemisphere.

New Moon, as well as eclipses, always allows us to begin anew and reset our intentions. Intend clarity in relationships, speak your truth and listen and receive the communications of your partner, seek beauty, bring into alignment what has tipped out of balance and consciously intend to let the grace and love of Venus shine through you wherever you go...."

It's time for another Mercury retrograde!

From July 14th to August 8, Mercury will be in retrograde...meaning its orbit will appear to go backward.
Mercury retrograde periods happen 3 to 4 times each year, and go on for approximately 3 weeks.  Since Mercury governs communications, it can affect our ability to communicate clearly, and impact things like computers, phones and other forms of communication and travel.  Things slow down so it is generally advised not to start major new undertakings, or sign important papers.

There are things that are best NOT To do, and there are also things that are optimal to do during retrograde time.  During a Mercury retrograde, we go into a kind of "heyoka" state and we tend to think differently and out of the box more. I ought to know, because I was born under a Mercury retrograde!  


I offer a group proxy (distance) repatterning session to help ease you through the Mercury retrograde time,as it can be very frustrating if you are the kind of person who likes things to move forward smoothly and in a more linear way.  Go to www.repattern.com/Mercury_Retrograde.shtml to sign up, anytime up till the 11th of July.

In addition to the typical Mercury retrograde patterns described above, each time we go through a retrograde is a little different depending on the other planetary aspects.

Robert Wilkinson has some interesting comments on his website about the upcoming July Mercury retrograde in Leo.  Follow his site for tons of detailed and excellent astrological info at http://www.aquariuspapers.com. Here is the link to his full article on Mercury retrograde that I have excerpted below: http://tinyurl.com/88y2r2e


"Actually, the coming Mercury retrograde should prove to be a fairly productive time with many unique and favorable developments. What follows is why.


Now that Venus and Saturn are moving forward and the Jupiter square Neptune is finally leaving the stage, things should proceed with more precision and momentum than we've had in a while! It sure seemed like Venus retrograde slowed a lot down, as I explained in yesterday’s article.


Venus gave us a look at past and future developments as it danced back and forth in degrees of Gemini. Now it’s moving across that span one more time. Now it’s moving forward, we’ll all be dealing with....the stirring of unconscious factors that will repolarize our ego. Whether it’s a protest against privilege or just a catabolic meltdown will depend on our individual circumstances.


Saturn retrograde [which we have just completed] gives us yearly reviews of lessons we need to take a new look at. Now it resumes its direct motion and finished moving through  Libra, so this is the time to apply what “philosophical completions” you’ve done since February. Still, it’s moving forward, so those affairs related to Saturn will as well.


Even though Mercury is slowing down, ....I suspect it will still be a fairly productive time given its relationship with both Venus, Mars, and Jupiter for most if not all of the RX [retrograde]period...


We’ll need to retire peacefully from some things, and allow a greater creativity and/or spontaneity to come forth. And of course, I’ll be writing more in the next couple of weeks about the coming Mercury retrograde in Leo."


Happy Mercury retrograde..and don't forget to get yourself repatterned for moving through it with grace and ease...at www.repattern.com/Mercury_Retrograde.shtml

Many blessings,
Ellen

May's theme is Committment

As you read this forecast, ask yourself what your conscious and unconscious committments are.  Are you living in alignment with them, or not?  If you want support with this, you may want to do a "Committment Repatterning" with me by phone or in person if you're in or near Santa Fe.  Or, join me from any time zone for the upcoming May Joyful Manifesting Intensive.  More info on the Intensive is at http://www.joyfulmanifesting.com.

I hope you enjoy this forecast from shamanic practitioner Lena Stevens and find it useful.  She and her husband have a website called www.thepowerpath.com.  I like these forecasts very much and usually publish them here, but here is info from them to sign up directly if you're interested: 


"Monthly forecasts will be posted on the first of every month on our website. To receive Moon updates and other information please sign up for email notices (link here).For a more specific overview of the trends for 2012 (discounted this month) please order our Mp3 or CD of TRENDS 2012 (link here).


What is commitment?


Commitment is removing the back door, the escape route and the words “if”, “maybe” and “when” from your vocabulary. Commitment is moving into your future with no turning back and no escape hatch. Commitment is eliminating the worry and anxiety that comes with ambivalence, doubt, consideration and “too many thinking”. Commitment is a natural segway of any bid for power. A bid for power without a proper commitment to launch it is not a serious bid for power.


If your bid for power is to stop smoking, you can’t qualify it with “if I find the right program” or “when I get more of a handle on my life” or “maybe next week”. No, if you want to stop smoking you stop right now. You make a commitment that goes along with your bid for power. Once you commit 100 percent, then the program or other support will show up and you will begin to get a handle on your life.


It is the same thing for relationships or work or health. If your bid for power is to make a change in the direction that is better for you, then do it now without procrastination and without the ability to sneak out if it does not work. Most of the reason for something not working out is your lack of true commitment to it. All of you have made some bid for power last month whether you are aware of it or not. This is the month where you either commit to it or choose a new one that you can commit to.


There are two types of Commitment: Commitment that is unconscious and manifested by your actions rather than what you verbally intend, and commitment that is consciously and deliberately planned for and chosen. The unconscious commitment is the one you may not be aware of but everyone else is by your actions around it.


A good example is someone who complains and complains about the nature of their relationship because it is not a good fit, and says they want something else, but ends up staying in the same relationship “until something better comes along”. This is not a serious bid for power for a new relationship and certainly not the way spirit works. This example is showing an action that the universe reads as a commitment and therefore will not provide another “better relationship” to take its place while the action shows a commitment to the current one. So this person may think they are bidding to change their circumstance but as long as they stay in the current relationship they are not serious about the change. If you are truly committed to changing your relationship dynamics you must show you are serious by becoming conscious about the ways you are showing commitment to the things you say you do not want.


Another example may be the person who says, I am on a diet, I intend to lose weight and really should not eat this piece of cake and then proceeds to eat it anyway. Are they serious about their bid for power to lose weight? Where is the commitment? Another example is the bid for power to have more fun and make more time for self. However if the person continues adding things that are not fun to their plate, they are showing by their actions that they are not truly committed to their intention and guess what, spirit will always give you more of what you are putting your energy into. This person may likely say, “I will make time when things slow down.” This is not good enough for spirit, as it is a conditional commitment and shows through action that the real commitment is something different than the spoken intention.


True commitment is unconditional, something we are not used to having or working with. Conditions create the “ifs”, “whens”, and “maybes” in our vocabulary. Placing conditions on your bid for power waters down the commitment to it and is like putting only your big toe in the water when you really intended to take a swim. Hesitancy, doubt, confusion, ambivalence, worry, anxiety, fear and mistrust, all take their toll on your ability to commit to something cleanly and clearly."

What on Earth is going on? May astrology...

Have you noticed that things seem to be moving ahead slowly, even though there is a lot of energy, activity and intensity this year?  There are some amazing planetary shifts going on--as you have already heard--and there are also many interpretations of why and what it all means.

That's actually why I like astrology, because I find it more "scientific" and "objective" than channeled readings.  I do also read and value channeled readings but I believe they are subject to more distortion..and they are as clear as the channel herself (or himself).  With astrology--even for skeptics or people who don't understand it, when you start tracking events and energies from an astrological point of view, you start to see how accurate it can be.   I am talking well beyond the simple sun sign horoscopes you can read in a newspaper (does anyone even read newspapers any more?). 

There are powerful energies available in May--I don't want you to miss out!  This month, more than usual, "Timing is Everything".  So I've decided to post a 3 part series about these energies, to help you use this time well. 

Part i: Here's a good astrological overview from Susan Miller, author of the popular astrology site, AstrologyZone.com.  

First, from the Libra May astrology by Susan Miller..but I’m only including what applies to everyone:

“This has been an unusual year for everyone, so if you feel frustrated at the slow pace, you are not alone. It started out with Mars retrograde, January 23 to April 13. Thank goodness Mars has been moving again since mid-April (albeit slowly), as Mars is the action planet that gives extra oomph and push to everything we do. When Mars sleeps, you find it very hard to lift things off properly, in any phase of life, whether business or personal in nature.

Now, Venus will start to retrograde, May 15 to June 27, and that will have an even more powerful effect, (for Taurus and Libra) because Venus is your ruling planet.

There is more news about retrogrades, so I might as well tell you about the next one now. After June 27, you will only have two weeks, and then from July 14 to August 8, Mercury will retrograde. We are all upset about this, and believe me I didn't want to tell you, but I thought I should.

 I cannot remember a year anything like this one. It seems the universe wants us to go slowly and carefully.

If you look closely at these dates (which I carefully flag on all my Year Ahead Calendars that I write annually), the universe will give us little patches of time in which to act decisively. Those patches of time will be excellent for initiating new ventures, and we are in one of those now. (That window of opportunity opened April 13 and will end May 15.)

It is rare that the universe speaks so clearly: Go slowly to make sure all your plans are well thought out. 

Retrograde planets ask us to look back to scrutinize areas that we can improve. It looks like you'll be thinking back about things that have not taken the course you wanted, and about how you would do things differently in the future.

As said, Venus won't retrograde until May 15, so as you begin May, plan on being sharp and productive because - and this may surprise you - you have just arrived at one of the very sweetest portions of the year. Although it will be a narrow window of time, May 1 to May 13, it will be one of your best. Every zodiac sign will have something to celebrate then, and for you (if you’re a Libra)  your good news will center on money.

Enjoy your month..stay tuned for more!  And don't miss the super full moon on May 5th or the amazing events ar around May 20th! 

Many blessings,

Ellen

Full Moon/Spring Equinox update: wowza!

I'm posting the following information from Jose and Lena Stevens, their site is thepowerpath.com. Another extremely powerful astrological configuration. I keep recalling the words of astrologer Dawn Silver, "These are not normal times!".

FULL MOON UPDATE
3-16-11

The Full Moon is Saturday, March 19 at 12:10 PM (noon) Mountain Daylight Time. This is a super moon with strong energies and very close to the earth. If you can possibly be around a power spot during this moon it would be a benefit. However, you can take advantage of the amazing energies wherever you are. Being so close to the spring equinox, this full moon signifies change and opportunity. Pay attention to any opportunity that has landed your way. If it has come easily perhaps you are prepared to act on it especially if it feels right. This is the time for a bid for power. Know that the planet is different. Our footing has shifted and quite literally. Symbolized by the reactor issue, we are being challenged to manage our own power, overcome our fears and step into a new paradigm. There will always be loss connected with change. Always look to the opportunity rather than what is no longer available. Trust the larger picture and greater design of evolution and know that spirit does not make mistakes.

The Spring Equinox is Sunday, March 20 at 5:21 PM Mountain Daylight Time. Do something to honor the fire element this month. Burn something old that represents not only what you wish to give over from the past few months or weeks, but something from your childhood or from your youth that represents very powerfully an identity of yours that is past. This would also be a great time to identify something you are still attached to and either symbolically or actually burn it. Fire is purifying and signifies complete change and transformation. Fire is also the masculine counterpart to the feminine power of water. Both of these elements are strong this year and should be honored as representing the masculine and the feminine within ourselves. Use them, honor them, and thank them.

Blessings,

Lena


ASTROLOGICAL NOTES:
Written by Patricia A. Liles. PATLILES@aol.com
Virgo Full Moon opposite Pisces Sun 28º Saturday, March 19 12:10 PM MDT
Vernal Equinox, Sunday, March 20, 5:21 PM MDT Sun enters Aries, 1º, First day of Spring

Look to this Full Moon and Spring Equinox as an opportunity to experience a portal of intense power, strength and beauty. Much learning, shift and rebirthing can take place in this time frame. The Full Moon preceding the Equinox by less than a day is preparatory and supports intensified emotional involvement and awareness. Because the Moon is full at 28º late in the sign, we will begin to feel the build up of energy when the Moon shifts into Virgo Thursday afternoon at 2:53 PM MDT. You will feel the intensity viscerally and your awareness of a much larger perspective will come with greater clarity. Added weight is given to this second of six SuperMoons of the year. Added weight in that this SuperMoon is the closest the Moon will be to the Earth (perigee) of all six. °Not until November 2016 will the Moon be this close to Earth. The additional magnetic pull on the Earth affects the globe's waters with extreme tides along the coasts. We too are made primarily of water and experience the concentration and pulling on our psyches.

Towards what are we being pulled? The Full Moon chart points this out clearly. The Sun at 28º Pisces is opposing this exceptional Moon at 28º Virgo, and this Sun/Moon axis squares the North and South Node axis forming a mutable Grand Cross. The North Node represents our point of spiritual growth and learning, where we are drawn to evolve. In this chart the North Node is exactly aligned with the Galactic Center at 27º Sagittarius. The portal points us in the direction of opening emotionally, through our hearts, to an energetic alignment with that pulsing, conscious center of our galaxy availing ourselves to the energies that are evolving our planet at break-neck speed.
If we are aware of this opportunity and make a sacred space and allow time to clearly receive its download, we can be gifted with a general re-set of our entire energetic systems - something we need frequently at this time! (Read more! link here).

How to best use the energies this month: Clear Beliefs, Make Committments

The opportunties this month: Commit to Your Intentions & Clear Beliefs!

These are always a good idea..and there are two specific repatternings that could be helpful: the Belief Repatterning and the Committment Repatterning. Many times, things we are committed to doing or having are not manifesting because we don't resonate 100% with our committment. An example was a couple who said they wanted a baby, but muscle testing revealed they were only 3% committed! What that indicates is that you have a whole lot of subconscious programming working against whatever goals or outcomes you are wanting in your life.

Here are some excerpts from Jose and Lena Stevens monthly shamanic and astrology based newsletter, their report for February. The full update may be found at their website at http://www.thepowerpath.com.

"This is the month where the "ifs" or conditions around your intentions need to be put aside and relegated to a position of less importance. You know on an intuitive level what you truly want and it is only the fear of not getting it that keeps you hesitant to commit. It is the mind that comes up with the reasons that feed the fear and keep you imprisoned in your story.

Are you willing to give up your story? Who would you be without your story? This is not an easy opportunity to deal with. It demands trust, courage and intuition. Use the aggression mode of the year wisely to cut through the bullshit of the mind and begin manifesting that which you have fully committed to. Remember that we are also in an emotionally centered time and headed for experiences that don't necessarily make linear or logical sense.

Belief systems are probably the most challenged this month as they create the foundation of our stories. Belief systems are anchored in the past and will continue to affect our future unless they are disconnected. They are instruments of the mind and only geared towards survival. They will continue to feed you false information until you examine them and give another instruction. This is a great time to examine your beliefs and see how absolutely divorced many of them are from what is really going on in the present. It is important to stay out of judgment as you realize how outdated your beliefs are and the enormity of what needs to change.

Everyone has specific beliefs about what will make them happy, healthy, loved, successful, well, tired, sick, sad, strong, stressed, depressed, anxious, relaxed, good, bad, responsible, irresponsible, forgiven, spiritual, productive, unproductive etc. Take some time to examine each of these categories and ask yourself what your personal and specific belief systems are regarding each one.

Sometimes it is easier to write in a stream of consciousness exercise unless you are able to do this with a partner where you simply express the stream of consciousness regarding each belief. This is not about judging anything to be either right or wrong. This is about uncovering what's there so you can see what has been running the show. Emptying the mind in this way is very powerful and you will get to see where your fears are hidden.

Belief systems are very limiting in that they constantly create the reasoning behind why you can or cannot do or be something or someone. There are many examples in history of people who have accomplished extraordinary things because they did not buy into the belief that they could not.

We have talked before about the power of the collective belief system that guides the evolution of all living things on the planet. In order to change the collective belief system, each individual must first change their own. It is the hundredth monkey effect that dictates that when enough individual belief systems have evolved to a less limited function, the whole collective will be free to evolve as well. So all of you out there that wish to be of service to the planet at this time can do so by working on your own belief systems.

Along with beliefs come expectations. Expectations are different from committed intentions as they are usually attached to a specific outcome. They are fed by your beliefs and their success or failure becomes part of your story. A true "don't know mind" leaves a lot of room for your intentions to manifest in interesting and wonderful ways. When you commit to something one hundred percent, without the need to know how you will get there, the universe will begin to weave it creatively into the physical world.

All information about everything already exists in the quantum field and that information will respond to the instruction it gets that comes from unwavering commitment. The minute you try and control how something is going to happen you diminish the power behind the intention that is necessary for the quantum field to respond.

If you commit with conditions (I will do it "if") the quantum field is a bit confused as to what you really want and will end up creating chaos from mixed messages. Sometimes you have to make a choice. Here is a good example of that. If you are involved in legal negotiations for damages for health reasons (accident, environmental pollution etc.), there is an attachment to your continuing to be in poor health as part of the argument. All the energy you are putting into the legal process is reinforcing the fact that your health and well-being are compromised. The quantum field takes that as an instruction from your belief system. You need to continue to be compromised in order to receive compensation. Therefore the other intention of actually getting well is clouded by the need to remain ill.

Regardless of the other players involved, you may have to examine your original motivation and intention and commitment. If your primary intention is to end up completely well then that is what you intend even if it comes to you in a different way than winning a legal battle over compensation. Beware of giving the field mixed messages. Committed intentions that are not compromised are indeed powerful and have the ability to become manifest almost overnight. If your intentions are compromised or clouded with doubt, mixed messages or conditions it will be much more difficult to see results.

We can't stress enough the power of these times and what they afford to everyone in terms of opportunity if you can commit, stay in present time and get out of your mental trap that needs to know and control the how of things. You don't need to know how, you just need to know what. In fact there is very little information available with regards to "how" these days. And what is available is outdated and doesn't work. So be a pioneer of your own life and decide what you want. Then commit to it one hundred percent without the need to know how you will get there.

The early explorers did not have a map. They followed their intuition and they followed signs. They paid attention and stayed present. Signs are different than conditions. You can always ask for signs to guide you so you know you are on the right track. Signs appear as support and provide synchronicity and magic. Conditions are what you place on your intentions that keep them from being fully committed.

Remember that self-deprecation is also one of the obstacles of the year and will be manifest by everyone in varying degrees. All the obstacles are nasty, do not serve spirit and will derail your good intentions and commitments faster than anything. So beware, try not to react to others and watch your own tendencies."

Many blessings for your clarity, committment and releasing outworn beliefs this month! Let me know if I can be of assistance to you in this.

Happy February,
Ellen

Energies of December 21st and beyond..fasten your seat belt!

Here is an update from Jose and Lena Stevens on what we can expect, and some additonal astrological information. Their site is www.thepowerpath.com.

Please join me on December 21st for a half hour tele-gathering and completion of the year energy work, at 1pm Mountain (3 pm Eastern), right in the "power window" time. Dial in to 1-712-432-1600 access 121233#. It's my gift to you and feel free to invite others.

Your planetary update:
HAPPY FULL MOON, WINTER SOLSTICE and TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE!

The Full Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse is at 1:13 AM Mountain Standard Time on Tuesday, December 21. The Eclipse should be visible in North and South America after midnight. Winter Solstice is exact at 4:39 PM Mountain Standard Time on the same day. Needless to say, this is an extremely powerful day especially the time frame between the eclipse/full moon and the solstice, setting the stage for the next period of time. It is imperative that you stay away from any situations where conflict, violence, argument or disagreement is anywhere present. Keep your energy focused and clean. If you have your ducks in a row and have managed to maintain balance and focus, you could experience a higher centered breakthrough with a lot of insights, clarity, intention and a great sense of rightness to your life and direction.

If not, you could be in for a breakdown. Breakdowns will happen in the aftermath of this day and will affect anything that should have been dealt with beforehand. Make sure to do something special to honor this day, set your intentions, write your wish lists and treat this solstice as the true beginning of a new year. If you are still dealing with situations that do not have closure, do something symbolic such as a burning ceremony around the issues to acknowledge your intention of completion. Come from gratitude in your communications and interactions.

Blessings,

Lena

Visible in North and South America after midnight
Winter Solstice - Sun enters Capricorn - 0º

Overview of astrological aspects of the next few weeks:

01-04-11 New Moon in Capricorn/Partial Solar Eclipse 13º 2:03 AM MST
01-19-11 Full Moon in Cancer - 29º 2:22 PM MST
Fourth of five full moons at last degree of the sign.

What does all this mean to you and me?

Herald the Rebirth of the New Year! The Sun has completed the nadir of its journey and is now renewed and reborn as it crosses the Winter Solstice point (Summer Solstice for Southern Hemisphere folks) and enters the first degree of Capricorn. The sacred point of rebirth - one of the four major astrological power points of the year along with the equinoxes and the summer solstice. We enter the domain of the Raven and ask this crafty ally to gift us as it goes into the dark and brings forth the light.

If you want to read the influences of the year, you look to the Winter Solstice chart, the longest night and shortest day. At this solstice time, the Sun enters Capricorn, the cardinal (initiating) earth sign ruled by serious, orderly Saturn - Lord of Time. The planets are aligning auspiciously on this particular solstice with the torch of a Full Moon illuminating the solstice just 15 hours before, powerfully intensifying the influences that present themselves for our examination and reflecting the upcoming year.

What is most prominent in the solstice chart? Well, there is a Grand Square aka Grand Cross involving the exact conjunction of asteroid Pallas Athena and the Sun at 0º Capricorn, square asteroid Juno, square Jupiter conjunct Uranus in late Pisces, and square South Node conjunct Moon in Cancer. A multitude of squares and oppositions abound here noted for their dynamic, tension-causing influences. Energy will move under this configuration as we are forced to make choices in the areas that these planets and asteroids rule. What will these configurations bring us in the way of influences?

The planets, except for Moon and Venus, are masculine in nature and the major asteroids (Ceres, Juno, Pallas Athena, & Vesta) bring in the feminine influences. These feminine influences have a most prominent place in this chart especially Athena and Juno with Ceres aiding with benevolent energy to unlock the tight Grand Cross. Athena exactly conjunct the powerful, waking Sun at 0º Capricorn, rules three major areas - social justice, artistic energy and creative inspiration and intelligence. Remember, she sprang full grown from her Father's head. In the sign of Capricorn, she brings in the influences of form and structure. Healing the skeleton and teeth (form & structure) using modalities such as chiropractic, cranial-sacral work, deep tissue massage that breaks through resistance and old patterns is useful.

For more about Athena and the other influences, stay tuned for the next installment...

December's Astrology: More joy from Mercury and other planets! What you can do

Three or four times a year, the planet Mercury goes retrograde. This has certain predictable effects, communication slows down, appointments have to rescheduled and then rescheduled again. And yet, each time we go through a retrograde there are different aspects and we are all impacted a little differently because of our personal astrology.

It can be frustrating and stressful if you are not aware of the retrograde and if you fight with the energy instead of rolling with it. That's why I offer a proxy or distance repatterning to help you align your energy and mindset for Mercury retrograde.

The final Mercury retrograde in 2010 runs from 12/10 to 12/30. My last Mercury retrograde session is tomorrow, Wednesday December 8th around 9pm Mountain, and the deadline to register is 7pm Eastern on December 8th.

To register, go to: www.repattern.com/Mercury_retrograde.shtml.

Here is a very rich summary of the upcoming retrograde period:

Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn on December 10th, 2010
Posted on November 27, 2010 by Dipali Desai

Re-Defining Life Priorities: Mercury in Capricorn Retrograde Phase

Mercury retrograde will start on December 10th through December 30th so put a note in your daily planners. This Mercury Retrograde will happen at 6 degrees Capricorn and Mercury will shift back into the sign of Sagittarius when all is said and done by the end of December 2010.

Quick Overview About Mercury
In Astrology, the planet Mercury represents communication and information. It also symbolizes the linear thought process, mental attitudes, way in which you learn. and the way you consciously perceive reality. Approximately every 3 months, for approximately three weeks, Mercury appears to go “backwards” in the sky. The planets do not really go backwards. The ‘retrograde phase’ for any planet can be considered an ‘introspective’ phase. For Mercury retrograde, all forms of communication, short-term travels and information may encounter delays, obstacles and or disruption. The nature of the Mercury Retrograde phase is to allow the central nervous system to shift into non-linear states of Consciousness (similar to deep relaxation and meditation) and give the nervous system a much deserved break.

Mercury in Capricorn, December 2010:
During this phase, our attention will be on goals, and long-term plans as well as how you define things while. Capricorn symbolizes responsibility, wisdom and maturity. We must be “patient” and wise when taking an idea or theory and applying it in daily life to see if it is realistic or something needs to be revised. Mercury in Capricorn potentially can help us persevere for the long stretch to attain any and all goals we set, small or large. We must also learn to be flexible and initiate new ideas when we feel guided to.

Best Way to Prepare & Suggestions:
The suggestion is: to finish up Holiday shopping in advance, writing out cards and any other preparation ahead of time. Due to Mercury being retrograde during most of December, people may encounter more mental stress and strain with delays or snags in travel. It is best to value the quiet time and appreciate the fact that the things slowing down will ultimately help you if you have the understanding. Complete things that are left undone, projects, organizing, sorting out. Triple Check all appointment details. Add extra space between appointments and while traveling. Back up your important documents, files and pictures onto an external hard drive. Leave time to meditate, relax, dream and be in the non-linear space. Try not to force the mind to produce if you don’t have to. Wait to sign important documents or make major decisions until early January 2011. Wait to purchase “brand new” electronic items if possible (renewal is fine). Clear Away Clutter: old documents, paperwork, files & sort through the last 3 months. Renew commitments. Now is the time to review your thoughts, perceptions, words and actions to see if they are in alignment (Capricorn) with your goal(s).

Linking Up with Other Planets (The term Transits represents planets in the sky traveling through the signs currently.)

Mercury and Pluto Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn happens next to transiting Pluto in Capricorn. And may be felt intensely within the mental energy body and thought processes. It is possible, some news or information may be exposed or brought to the light of day for transformation and healing. People (or you) may feel the urge to revisit someone from the past, communicate or even bring up an old issue to resolve. It is best to be open and discuss things rather than clinging to the ‘right and wrong’ of the situation.

Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn invites us to be pragmatic in our thinking and be patient as we encounter challenges or delays. We are given opportunities to sort out and clean out the ‘mental closest’ so to speak. We may decide to make deep shifts in our perception about our lives. It is possible we may hear news about people transitioning (death) or loss as well as we may be saying goodbye to people in our lives whom we have grown apart with.

With Pluto’s symbolism closely connected to the Mercury Retrograde, we get to purge our mental attitudes and off balancing thinking. Whatever within the mind keeps us paralyzed or imprisoned we can reclaim our empowerment.

Triple Dose: Mars, Mercury Retrograde and Pluto in Capricorn
Transiting Mars in Capricorn links up with Pluto and Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn. This energy is strongly building momentum and intensity from about early December through December 16th. The potential is highly transformative energy ready to kick-start or kick ass and put something into motion.

It is possible someone or something comes back our lives with a different approach and we are presented with an intense encounter or news of some kind. Old issues that had gone “underground or been buried” may erupt, for confronting and healing now. Remember the key is; “what choice, words and actions will empower all involved?” It is best to be very patient and not take things too personally now. It’s also possible there may be miscommunications, agitations and possible combative encounters. Remind yourself that you can choose what role to play, one that is empowered and Soul-level (wisdom) or one that is ego/mind level fear based.

Mars/Pluto in Capricorn with a team like focus, stimulates deep desires on a physical level are possible, a desire to merge intimately or connect with another/loved one high. It may be helpful to channel the energy into physical outlets or organizing.

Possible Off-Balance Energy:
Mars/Pluto combination can be highly charged up in a good way or it can be volatile, eruptive and explosive. This combination is not to be taken lightly. Watch for manipulation, power struggles and control tactics generated from a place of fear and anxiety. If you allow these potent energies to build up without regular outlets there can be explosive outbursts, screaming matches, ego-power struggles, rage exploding as well as words (Mercury) being used as daggers. It is best to channel this energy into physical constructive outlets or projects.

Mercury Phase Overview:

■Pre-Retrograde Phase: November 22nd (slow down, yellow signal) – December 9th
■Actual Retrograde Phase: Mercury in Capricorn at 6 degrees from December 10th through December 30th
■Mercury goes Direct: at 19 degrees Sagittarius on December 30th
■Post-Retrograde Phase: (Go ahead new phase, green signal) January 18th

************************************************************************
Dear Friends,

A super New Moon is Thursday, October 7 at 12:45 PM Mountain Daylight Time. This new moon supports compassion, forgiveness and healing. This is a good time to recapitulate memories, events and people in your life who still evoke resentment, anger, hurt, jealousy and blame. These negatively charged reactions need to be neutralized and this new moon can support you in doing that. For every charged memory breathe in compassion and forgiveness while turning your head all the way to the left. Then turn your head all the way to the right while exhaling gratitude, neutrality and freedom. You can do this breathing exercise several times on the same charged issue. Do it until you feel a change that moves you towards neutrality. It is also important at this time to step away from others projections, not take anything personally, and stay out of any drama created by another's reactions.

This new moon is about the self. Resist the temptation to project and meddle elsewhere. Take care of your own backyard. Do something that is important to you. Tremendous healing is available to you during this time if you stay focused. Watch the energy leaks!

Blessings,

Lena

Here is an astrological take on the New Moon, from astrologer
Patricia Liles. Contact her at patliles@aol.com

Libra Super New Moon, Thursday, Oct. 7, 12:45 PM MDT at 14º Libra

Note:* Super New Moon is when the Sun is closest to the Earth and in precise alignment with the Moon and Earth increasing its potency. This is the last of three Super New Moons in a row.

We are in that dangerous and exalted moment of metamorphasis when the old skin has become too tight and the new skin is not yet functional. We are vulnerable and raw and as yet unformed. Nonetheless, we are committed to our growth. Each new moon or planetary alignment provides a contraction and undulation that moves us forward in our evolutionary state. The summer has provided an enormous opportunity to go deep and release especially in the lower chakras.


The first chakra at the base of the spine may be releasing issues of deep instinctual fear of loss of survival and what we may have had to do to survive horrific conditions as well as the armoring and protection we hold there as a result. It's where our security and our relationship with our body lie.

Second chakra release may reveal the emotional and sexual issues of past humiliation, joylessness or abuse that have been buried and carried for generations creating extreme sensitivities in our behavior. Located in the abdomen, sexual organs and lower back, this is where we connect through feeling and desire with others - also where we can manipulate others and in turn, be manipulated creating the seesaw of love-hate relationship. Through a cleared second chakra, we can welcome and embrace change and creativity.

The third chakra holds our personal power, will, and intention. Located at the solar plexus near the navel, it distributes our energy and helps us hold and use power in a balanced way. Greed, domination, self destruction and feelings of powerlessness may be asking for passage into the light so one can step into one's true personal power.

Higher-centered states are present, but are not the greater focus. Clearing out the relationship patterns and self-esteem issues engrained by hundreds of years of repetition and cultural reinforcement are up for healing before we move forward into higher frequency experience.

The Super*New Moon chart with the Sun and Moon in Libra focuses us on our relationships and bringing in the energies of balance and cooperation. We are learning to compromise for the sake of relationship. Venus rules this chart. The day after New Moon she goes retrograde (once every 18 mos.) until Nov. 18. Retrograde takes us more deeply within to look again at what we want to give power to in relationship. It brings old relationship issues from the past up to be re-examined and healed. We all know that this relationship work is only with ourselves and our mates, partners, bosses, children, teachers, and neighbors only act as mirrors to show us our inner selves more clearly. Beautiful Venus is in Scorpio, the sign of the dark feminine, so there are incentives for seeking out what lies in the dark and is crying out to be transformed. Where do your attachments lie? How are you protecting your heart? Where are you being standoffish or overly sensitive? Venus also rules money, possessions and values and these areas may be the bone the dogs of our shadow-selves are fighting over with our beloveds. The result of bringing more consciousness to Venus-ruled areas will be felt in more intimacy and shared powerfulness. Venus is traveling with Mars her masculine counterpart. They are in a higher frequency aspect with Jupiter and Uranus. The masculine and feminine planets are aligning with those two rebel rousers, Uranus and Jupiter to shake up and expand the way we hold our male/female energies and relationships. Everyone out there is witness to relationships ending and new ones beginning and unusual alliances forming to learn and grow and create.

Pluto and Ceres are mirroring this cosmic dance of relationship. They were linked long ago in mythology when the God of the Under World, Pluto, kidnapped Ceres' precious daughter, Persephone. Ceres' grief was overwhelming and she made the Earth pay heavily for her unhappiness. Now and through the Full Moon these two planetoids are conjunct and near the North Node, the point of our growth. Their first conjunction brought us the Gulf Oil spill and now their last conjunction on Oct. 19th will keep our relationship to Mother Earth and our own bodies in our minds and hearts. In the sign of Capricorn our government, industry, and authority figures are asked to recognize their on-going responsibility to the planet that nourishes and supports us.

Saturn and Mercury are heavy hitters in this New Moon chart as well. They are within 1º of each other in Libra (7-8º) and closely square the North and South Nodes. The nodes show what we have brought from the past and need to resolve this lifetime to evolve and grow into the gifts of the north node. Mercury squaring the nodes can bring up issues of finding our inner voice, the self-deprecation surrounding our intelligence or under achievement or arrogance about being 'right'. Mercury here wants us to learn to monitor our thoughts and what we are creating with them.

Saturn will show up as challenges in the practical physical world - how to pay the bills, your parent has Alzheimer's, toothaches, or just having to get up in the morning and keep the daily grind going because you see no other way. No internal work=despair, indifference or even hostility (i.e. take out the whole university). Focus and discipline is always the road Saturn points to. Completion and putting one foot in front of the other for the long haul to complete the challenge of transformation to higher frequency, more conscious lives are the name of the game. It may be Saturn's parting message to us as it leaves the huge pressure of the T-Square of the last several months. These are HUGE planetary changes that we are experiencing. We have passed a huge portal as we move pass this New Moon. The next Full Moon of Oct. 22 has no evidence of the T-Square, and the Nov. Full Moon has many trines and harmonious aspects focused on Venus. Continue to awaken, heal and balance the masculine and feminine energies in self and with others throughout this time frame. The issues of this New Moon will easily carry through November. Now we plateau, catch our breath, review all that has taken place since Spring Equinox and prepare for the movement in spring when Uranus moves into Aries and into a long lasting challenging square with Pluto that will carry us through 2012 and beyond bringing sweeping and radical changes to our external political and government and business arenas that reflect the work we are doing internally in our own lives.

Today: A Day out of Time

Tonight I learned something interesting at the birthday party of the lovely Jan Stringer, whose latest book is "Bee-ing Attraction"-she's a great business coach and new member of the amazing Santa Fe tribe I'm part of here. She shared that today in the Mayan Calender is considered a Day out of Time, the last day of the year.

I woke up to soft rain falling--a rare thing here in Northern New Mexico and everything was so still. All I could do was my lemon water and then I fell into my armchair for a long delicious meditation.

Had a visit from a friend and we sat out in the moist cool air, enjoying the green of my growing garden..our conversation touched on many things and it truly felt timeless. Our lunch visit stretched to 4 pm and while I certainly have plenty to do--today was not the day for doing it. NO busyness of the world for me today.

It's not just that it's a summer Sunday--in fact my mood and energy on any summer Sunday this year is nothing like the social, relaxed and laid-back pattern of Sundays in other summers--but today is/was a day out of time. That explains a lot!

Also, if you've ever felt, like I have, that our Gregorian calendar seems irregular and not in synch with anything--when you read about the Mayan calendar--and other calendars based on moon, star and solar cycles--we were right.

Read this very interesting excerpt about the meaning of the Day out of Time in the Mayan calendar when you have a little time.

Mayan Day out of Time
Sunday, July 25, is an important day in the Mayan calendar. The Mayan calendar is built around a 13-month cycle, each month has exactly 28 days which totals to 364 days. The last day of the year is left out of this count and therefore is "out of time". This day is considered an opportunity for a big change: purification and healing, for forgiveness of debts and old grievances, a time for achieving peace, a great time to clarify our understanding, focus on direction and create a major shift in our lives. Especially after the Conscious Convergence on July 17th and 18th time is accelerating as we move with the new wave of energy that we created with our focused and collective intention during these two days.

I live my life by a truth that was gifted to me as a child when I was visited by a beautiful woman dressed in white who appeared one day when I was 10 accompanied by a white wolf. She spoke to me that I was not alone and in the years that would follow I would come to understand why I had been brought here as a faith keeper. That white wolf remained by my side as my animal ally and spirit teacher to guide me and to walk with me on a Shamanic path of peace and truth. There is an every increasing awareness of the Mayan calendar and the significance of 2012. Everywhere I go I hear discussions and am asked questions regarding the significance of this date.

It is my truth that I simply share, having a strong belief that each day more and more souls are awakening and a huge shift in consciousness is occurring. What happened during the time of the Conscious Convergence in the ancient stones of the Star Walkers and Navigators was felt around the world as we are all joined together. 2012 I believe will continue to accelerate the awakening and we will in deed move into a higher vibrational frequency that will support the focused dream of oneness and unity. It is not an instantaneous event where one switch will turn off and another turn on nor is it the ending of the world. I choose to look at everything around me as a message, sometimes strong messages of warning but more now than ever messages of hope that we as global citizens can make a difference.

The current calendar the world now operates under known as the Gregorian calendar was imposed as an instrument of power and as a symbol of dominance by European conquerors over the Maya, Inca and Aztec civilizations—all of whom used, among other calendars, the 13 Moon/28 Day count. This 13 moon calendar was used by other ancient civilizations such as the Druids, the Essenes and the ancient Egyptians. It had also been identified as the Calendar of Thoth. If you have felt more stress and that you have less time it is because your vibrational field is realigning itself to truth and to the natural cycle and order that our earth vibrates at. Not the time manipulated system created by mankind to control other civilizations and nature itself.

On this very special day take the time to sit once again in stillness. If you can be near earth, dirt, or sand at the beach take a handful and slowly let the grains of sand or particles of dirt slip through your lightly held hands. If you live in the city you can even use corn meal for this ritual. This is so very symbolic of so many things ocurring in our lives right now. Each particle of earth and sand represents something you are letting go of. An old hurt or wound, a disappointment, an anger, a grievance or judgment. It can be an entire way of life as many of us are feeling our world is completely changing in some way. Focus on your breath and as you release the particles back to the earth feel your vibration being elevated. On a piece of paper write down the debts you are forgiving (old loves, old relationships, expectations not fulfilled). Forgive yourself of any guilts you continue to hold on to. Let go of feeling unworthy. This serves absolutely no purpose for you to be less than who you were intended to be. It is time to claim who you are and step forward. Fold the paper in half away from you and burn the paper symbolizing transformation. Remember we are still in the energy of 2010, the Year of the Phoenix Rising from the ashes. Bury the ashes in the earth giving gratitude to the earth mother and make your commitment to walk the earth in balance. This is also a Full Moon and full moons always represent completion, end of cycles, coming into our full power so this can be an especially powerful night to do the Uncrossing Ritual for those of you who have my 2010 Moon cycle and Ritual book.

The more you take the time to do the inner journey, to sit and be still to receive guidance from the greatest teacher you have (yourself) the more you will find your emotions stabalizing. Many of you have felt depressed, angry, frustrated and restless. Some have felt physically fatigued and emotionally drained. There is a continuous movement of energy now to raise your vibration. Opportunities such as these special celebrations of life can assist. These emotions will hold you in a lower vibration and you will not be able to truly move forward until you clear them. There are waves of energy coming rapidly now and we need to move through these times with determination and hope. We will all have moments of doubt and old fears will return only to be embraced and transformed if we allow the process to occur.

As always take a few moments to see your light moving through a web connecting with millions of souls around our planet. Feel yourself being part of a great awakening and feel how your light is so very important to the whole. We can not move forward if we do not move together. When you are complete with your personal ritual do something to bring beauty into the world. Go see a movie that inspires you, listen to beautiful music that soothes you, paint or create something beautiful, buy yourself some beautiful flowers or go into a garden and observe the amazing beauty that surrounds you.

Most important smile, feel alive and share your light with others. I continue to create the prayer circles so if there is anyone in need, or yourself, please send me the name of the person or persons and I will include them in the prayers of healing.


Much love, rainbows and joy on this magnificent day out of time.
