What Your Daily Prayer Should Always Be…

Don’t worry – this won’t be “religious.”  It won’t be preachy. At least that’s not my intent.  This is about prayer, though.  Or whatever you call it. It can be meditation for you, it can be “quiet time.” It can be talking to your family and friends who have passed over.

They say that prayer is asking. And most of us don’t have a problem asking for help or certain things.  Or even “making deals” with God/Source and angels (“Oh, please, if you give me this, I promise I will never do that again…”).  But it’s in meditation that we listen for the answer. There has to be both for a proper conversation.  But so many of us are slow to quiet down and “listen.”   I can’t encourage you all enough to try to build into your day at least one minute of just being quiet and listening.

Having said that, the one prayer we should all be saying every day, if not throughout the day,  is thank you.  Thank you. There is never a bad time for reverence and gratitude. So try to say this throughout the day.  If you are walking outside from your car to a store, and the sun is shining and it’s a pretty day, say thank you. If you go to your sink and clean water comes out, say thank you. If you flip the light switch and the light turns on, say thank you.   So many things we take for granted every day millions of people don’t have. And yet we don’t even think to whisper a “thank you” for all of these things.

If going throughout your day mumbling thank you doesn’t seem practical to you, then make a point of saying aloud ten things every evening before you go to sleep that you are thankful for.  Not only does this small act of gratitude literally thank God/Source/Spirit/Angels/Guides (whoever you resonate with), it encourages the universe to give you more.  If a child comes to you and wants some candy and you give them some candy. And they look up at you with a face and start to whine, “That’s all? That’s it? I want more!!”  You’re probably not going to want to give them more because they aren’t thankful for what you just gave them.   If a child asks you for some candy and you give them some and they give you a huge smile and say thank you and give you a hug and then come back a few moments later and ask if they can have some more (and throw in a “please”)…you’re more likely to give them some more.  Even if it’s just a little bit.

Whisper thank you throughout the day for all the gifts and miracles you receive and encounter.  Say aloud the ten things you are most thankful for that day at the end of the day. I bet you can’t say them without smiling at some point.  Gratitude has a way of making you happy, as well.  And watch more blessings come into your life.  A little like….magic.

Be open to what calls you…

Uranus Changing Signs – Big Shifts Ahead

On May 15, 2018 Uranus will move from the sign of Aries into the sign of Taurus.  This transit lasts about seven years.  Uranus is one of the outer, slower moving planets.  Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto move slower and spend over one year in each sign during a typical transit. The inner planets move faster, Venus, Mercury, Mars.   So when an outer planet is involved, the transit will not only last longer, but the effects can be more profound.

Uranus is the planet of surprise and revolution and freedom.  It rules Aquarius. Taurus is an earth sign ruled by Venus.  Libra is also ruled by Venus,  but Venus in Libra is more of the romantic-love aspect. In Taurus, she’s about luxury and money.  And to some degree, love.  Some people would argue that love and money go hand-in-hand as well.   It always depends on your specific birth chart when it comes down to determining exactly how a particular transit is going to affect you.  What house you may have Taurus in, what sign you are, on and on. But even in a mundane way, this transit is going to affect all of us somehow. And it may very well involve money and our relationship to money. And to luxury. They are intertwined in that aspect.

We could also see a global shift when it comes to money and the economy.  This doesn’t have to be bad. It’s just a shift.  Things can’t remain the same all the time or else there would be no growth.

On this same day, May 15, 2018, there’s going to be a new moon in Taurus.  There’s always a lot of energy with full and new moons. But when you add a planet transiting a sign on that day, there’s more power behind the punch.  I think all transits should be welcomed, not feared.  If there’s one thing we can always count on, it’s change. What is good won’t be good forever. And what is bad won’t be bad forever. But it’s the change and the shift that demand our attention and oftentimes our growth and evolution.  And if part of the reason why we’re all here is to grow and evolve, this can’t be a bad thing.

Tarot Card Reading of the Week – April 29, 2018

The card in the past position is the Ace of Pentacles reversed.  Aces start a suit and the suit of pentacles are about money, finances, career, resources. Or something (or things, plural) you value as much as money.  So reversed, it can suggest a block or delay to something with money. A new job. A new position or promotion at work.  Or if you’ve been expecting money through inheritance or a payback from a friend, it may be delayed.  It’s easy to be frustrated with this. We generally want the Ace cards to be upright because they usher in fresh new energy in a specific area. Reversed, they’re about delay and block.  Just keep in mind that sometimes when things aren’t happening when you’d like them to, it’s the universe (God, source, spirit, your guides or angels) putting things on pause because something better is on its way.

The card in the present position is the Eight of Cups reversed.  Not walking away from something emotional. Or from a relationship. Being unable to move forward from something that was connected to your heart in some way (usually, this card speaks to a relationship of some sort).

The card in the future position is the Seven of Pentacles reversed.  Getting frustrated with things not developing. Or you feel like they aren’t developing or growing the way you’d like them to. Or at the speed or rate you’d like them to. It can also be wondering if it’s all worth it.  It’s like putting in the work, and the time and the energy…and things just aren’t happening.  So why are you bothering with it at all?

All of these cards are reversed.  Not all reversals are bad – there are actually some cards you’d prefer to present in the reversed position.  But in a very broad, general way, they can suggest blockages and delays.  I’m doing this reading right before the full moon in Scorpio – so the moon is likely void of course.  The full moon tomorrow will be a good time to release whatever may be holding you back. Blockages, if you know what they are or where they are.  For example, maybe letting go of that emotional situation or relationship.  You can’t move forward in something new (or better) if you haven’t let go of something in the past. It’s like wanting the car to move forward while it’s still in park. It’s just not going to happen.

So take a deep breath and “sit with it” for a moment or two.  That was such good advice given to me by a friend. When emotions or situations seem overwhelming or stagnant and you’re frustrated…sit with it.  Don’t try to fight it or go around it (that never works). Sit with it.  Feel through it. Then you’ll be ready to move forward.

Be open to what calls you…

A Time To Go Within – Pluto and Saturn Retrograde

There’s a lot going on in the next week or two astrologically.  Today, there’s a New Moon in Aries. Venus will go into Gemini.  Mercury stations direct today.  Those transits involve inner planets, which move fast. Mercury typically goes retrograde 3-4 times a year.  Venus moves from planet to planet every few weeks. And the moon enters a new sign every month.  The outer planets are slower moving planets – Pluto, Uranus, Saturn, typically.  And because they move slower, their energy is heavier and often more profound.

Saturn will go retrograde  for approximately five months starting April 17.  He’s in Capricorn right now. Saturn is all about karma.  So when he goes retrograde, it can sometimes indicate a double dose of karma. Good or bad.  It’s also a time of shifting our focus from the outside or the external to the internal. Not the outside stuff that is affecting us or causing change in our lives, but how we’re handling it on the inside. Or the shifts going on internally that are creating larger changes in our lives.

It can also be a time of “letting up” a bit. A little more freedom perhaps. Or the feeling of not being quite so restricted. Of course, it depends on which house this transit is happening for you – that will indicate the area of your life where you may be experiencing the most change.

Pluto also goes retrograde for about five months starting April 22.  Pluto is about death and rebirth. It’s also about control and power. So we are all going to be asked to go within and really look at our relationship with power and control.  And fear. Fear is often what precedes control.  What area (or areas, plural) are we trying to control in our lives? Or what people? Why?  What are we afraid of? If we don’t have control over these things, what are we afraid will happen? How will that affect us?

For the next five months, we may all be going through some experiences that are going to highlight karma in our lives and power and control.  These aren’t really spaces we want to investigate. We’d much rather focus on Venus in Gemini and flirty conversation. That’s light and easy and fun.  But karma and power and control…those are a lot heavier. A lot more serious. A lot more profound.  And they should be.  Life is always about duality.  Light and dark. Good and bad. Male and female. Yin and yang. It all can’t be flirty banter. We need the deeper, darker aspects of ourselves to balance that out.

Don’t be afraid to spend some time with these aspects of yourself.  Growth and evolution of your soul mandate it.

Tarot Card Reading of the Week – April 15, 2018

The card in the recent past (the energy we are leaving or that is soon going to be behind us) is The Hierophant reversed. He’s a major arcana card and when he’s reversed, it an speak to things unconventional or untraditional. Not in a bad way, just not the typical way. This card is also sometimes viewed as a marriage card or a card of blessing. Reversed, it can indicate a block or delay to that – if that’s how this card resonates with you.

The card in the present is the Four of Pentacles reversed. Instead of holding on to what you have, and holding on to your “stuff” (this card can be viewed as the miser card), you’re letting some of it go. Maybe giving a little more. Or just not being quite so possessive.  The suit of pentacles generally refers to money, finances, resources. But it can also be things you value as much as money.

The future card is the Knight of Cups upright.  Ahhh….the knight in shining armor.  Knights are about action and movement. And the suit of cups is about love and relationships and feelings.  So this can be a love offer coming to you. A new relationship perhaps. He’s also a blessing of some sort from the universe.

A wonderful way to end the week…with an offer of love.

Be open to what calls you…

Tarot Reading of the Week – April 2, 2018

Intersting energies this week.  The first card is The Magician reversed. Which can indicate a manipulative energy. Or, somebody with an immense amount of talent that squanders it.  But be mindful of somebody who is a bit manipulative.

The second card is The World upright.  Completion. Accomplishment.  The major arcana portion of the traditional tarot starts at zero with The Fool. It’s his journey through life. It ends with card twenty one – The World.  Having it all. Having received what you came for and found success with completion.

The last card is the Eight of Cups upright.  Walking away from an emotional situation.  Leaving it behind. I view this as leaving something that is probably not good for you to begin with.  Perhaps an abusive relationship, or just a relationship that was no longer serving you. If it isn’t making you better or happy, it’s probably not serving your higher good.

It could be that we realize we already have it all and we don’t need a relationship or person we’re clinging to. And we make a decision to walk away towards better things.

Be open to what calls you…
