It's for Your Own Good

Win $500

Here we are at the beginning of a new week and I wanted to acknowledge the change I am about to make in my readings.

NEW FORMAT
Here's the deal...everyone needs to begin thinking of themselves as part of the whole and not an astrological sign. If your identity is tied to an astrology sign you need to make a personal shift and drop that identity. The astrology horoscope concept is losing its ability to inform and requires us to re-merge with the whole. Instead, I will be writing toward the community.

I will be checking planetary, astrological and tarot to write a weekly planning guide for you.


Happy Easter and a big, formal welcome to Spring and all her beautiful aspects.

HOME

Downsizing and clearing clutter are topics we all need to address in the next month. If you don't take these matters into your own hands, the energy the objects hold in their existing pattern will draw what it projects and you won't get your say in the process. Better to take it on yourself and use the energy to propel you toward something you truly want.

Realize as you are tackling this project that you are moving things around inside your own world. Choose carefully what it is you want to change and release it by giving away your things or giving them a new life of some kind. Yes, throwing things away is just fine and so is re-purposing within the home. However, a completely clean start will require giving the item away. I suggest Goodwill because they give people jobs and they also recycle much of what is given them when they determine they cannot sell it.

Trust your intuition and responses and don't second guess yourself. In other words, don't chase the garbage truck down the street to recover something, just let it go.

WORK

We are in a period of integration and transition as a society. There is far more that needs to come down regarding our government and the momentum will be building for that in the coming weeks. This may mean more jobs disappearing and require each of us to re-evaluate what it is we think we are suppose to be doing.

Even when we are fully employed and paid well, we must keep our eyes open and our hearts connected to what we are delivering at the end of the day or week. The summer is building to be fast and furious leaving many workers and companies devastated and others winning easily. No one is getting something better than the other, really. There is always something waiting to fill in the open space. Remember this when faced with a pink slip or a rough week. You must keep your eye on the ideas of “curiosity and miracles.” Be curious. Expect miracles.”

If you can learn to clap and say “Oh goodie! Something great is coming.” every time something appears to go wrong you will be far ahead of everyone else. Could it be that easy? Yes, it is. The tough part is keeping your crazy monkey mind under control and away from defeating thoughts and behavior.

FINANCES

Buy local. Go through every item you purchase weekly and figure out a way to buy it locally. Not through a local company that ships it in to your town or area, NO. Find some one who makes it locally. It may take a while for some items to manifest and there will be things you will need to give up or only purchase occasionally – like sushi in the desert or New Mexican green chile in Vermont.

You need to begin living locally but not giving up a national or international mentality. Some time toward the end of the summer we are going to see food shortages. Best get your ducks in a row now.

HERE IS WHAT TO PRACTICE

Look for the connection you have with each person you come across during your day. Your opinion of their beliefs, the way they dress or the things they say need to be put aside. Find where you do connect—they are mothers, fathers, daughters, brothers, sisters, sons...people who walk, bike, run, play sports, dance...get the idea? So the person ringing the cash register doesn't look like you and your immediate response is to back off but wait you hear them talking about sewing and you sew or you heard them talking about sports and they like the same team you like...get it?

Acceleration, Revisiting Old Ideas and Get On With It!

Aries (Mars) – Make an unexpected choice, something completely out of the ordinary scope of where you usually gravitate. If you are still listening and following the logic in your head you are missing the point and you will never get where you want to go. Put down the phone and stop arguing.

Taurus (Venus) – Address all false assumptions. Stop and feel everything before you act. That means turning off the mental chatter and the should have, would have, could have—all of that is only an excuse. The worry pit is not where you want to go. Act out of passion and when there is no passion at least find something to enjoy about the moment.

Gemini (Mercury) – Multiple dimensions await your attention, now. Not later, now. Slow down, and allow the ideas to form in your mind first. Notice what captures your attention, and how your thoughts make you feel. Time frames are assumptions that you can now break in and out of at will.

Cancer (Moon) – Are you listening to yourself speak? Listen every time words flow from your mouth and notice the separation between what you are saying and how you are watching what you are saying. Lines are blurred right now and the ability to shift into another way of being can come easily if you want it to.

Leo (Sun) – The only set of circumstances you can lay claim to are your own. Yes, you may have assisted them to get where they are, however, if “it” sticks then they did the actual work. Bask in the Sun when you get a moment and draw in the energy you need for the coming weeks.

Virgo (Mercury) – Do you think others would notice if your personality completely changed overnight? You are on the verge of realizing a whole new part of yourself and a set of ideas from which to live your life that several months ago you might have scoffed at. Those around you who are dependent upon the “old” you aren't going to like this so remove yourself and find other friends.

Libra (Venus) – Prepare a space in your home to use just for devising your new world. Stretching old ideas into new ones and completely destroying an old path are thoughts and changes you are hedging upon. You must be sure that you do not care what others think and you must create the personal space to nurture the process.

Scorpio (Pluto) – Follow your thoughts to their original source as best you can. Release yourself from the idea of perfection. Perfection does not exist. Attach yourself to the idea of being a rolling stone, an uneven, wobbly rolling stone that goes where it wants to when it wants to and then see what you learn.

Sagittarius (Jupiter) – Trouble begets trouble. If you want trouble then think about trouble. Otherwise, choose some other thoughts. Plan a vacation or a trip to see something you have always wanted to see—a building, a city, a jungle, a mountain. Just plan it then put it aside without criticizing your choices or making judgments about cost and revisit it in a year.

Capricorn (Saturn) – Tap into the feelings you store away, the experiences or moments that represent joy, happiness or laughter. Use those to get through the week—every time you start to sink or feel bad see those giggly babies, playful puppies or smiling faces. Put those images right in your face and step into the feeling.

Aquarius (Uranus) – You have wallowed in your old world too long and it's time to make a shift into something that surprises and delights you. Start probing the universe for new ways of being. Ask it to show you a way to personal nirvana and see what happens. You have the ability to walk through fire to get what you want.

Pisces (Neptune) – You are in for a life changing opportunity one that could set you down into the world you have always wanted but never seemed to be able to formulate. The responsibility is awesome and you are completely capable of managing it. So, why do you keep hesitating?
