Personal Note From Suzanne May 17, 2013

This is such a lovely and strange spring, just in case anyone was noticing. It was so hot early in California then now it has cooled off again. Not that I am complaining because the sun is out and the light and temperature is wonderful. Now we do need rain and we are way behind in the rainfall quota. But I am enjoying it while it lasts. I have always been more of a sun girl. 

I hope you are all weathering the transitions of the eclipses. The last one in Gemini is on the 25th of May. Then we hopefully will get a softening effect from the Grande Water Trine for the next year starting on June 25 and lasting until July 1, 2014. 

I know that I am looking forward to a calmer pattern evolving into the mix of this intensely shifting astrology that we are all living through. 

At least the flow of energy seems to be back and in my line of work attitude is critical. Especially, when so many friends and clients are going through so much. I am not sure if I am handling things better or if I am getting used to this constant shifting of the ground underneath my feet and simply choosing to not sweat the small stuff in my own personal life. Whatever the pattern, it does seem to make the simple moments so much more precious. 

These energies have refocused the telescope of my mind into a much more balanced perspective. Circumstances for many of us are pretty much the same but we are much less personally attached to outcomes than before. I am trying things but it seems to feel that those things can work or not work. The outcome is not the goal. I am trying things regardless to see where the universe intends to point my energy. We are all being asked to find a way back to inner peace and to do it in a way that is not related to outer circumstances. Over and over again, we have been letting go of the trappings of things that we thought defined us. And the universe is asking us to go deeper into the places of our soul that have been hidden away, unloved, and untouched. 

There is so much about ourselves that is beyond our personal preferences and projections. We have been stripped away from the trappings of ego to reveal a clear, calm, and more conscious self. 

I am really starting to enjoy this new me. It was very awkward at first. Like learning how to walk all over again. Actually it was more like learning how to play all over again. Learning to enjoy, be silly, have a life, and to take well earned breaks is something that we can all learn to enjoy. This pattern has forced many of us to reevaluate the importance of money in our life. As most of us have taken a hit in the financial areas there is a letting go of old preconceived ideas of what is abundance. We are finding so much joy in the small things that make life have deep and profound meaning. 

So as we all move forward into this amazing flow that will be the summer remember to take a break, go for a walk, have a picnic, enjoy the warmth and sunlight, and spend quality time with those that you love. Life and love is a precious thing. Breath it in and hold it close to your heart.

Mayan Oracle: Rhythm, Portal of Transcendence, Transparency

Get ready! Here we go into the Grande Trine in Water on June 25^th. This once in a lifetime astrological aspect will last until July 1, 2014, so a little over a year. If you are a water sign (Pisces, Scorpio, or Cancer), you are going to feel in your element. The rest of us might feel as if we are being thrown into the deep end of the pool. So surrender is going to be a great mantra for a while.

Now is the time when we must learn how to swim and dive deep into our emotional, intuitive, creative, and artistic self. We have all been feeling like we have been repeatedly hit over and over again by waves of intense growth and transformation over the last 5 years and we are once again at another series of doorways designed to open our mind and eyes to possibilities that before never seemed possible. 

For a moment take a look at how much your perspective has changed since 2008. You should be amazed at yourself and your life. You are probably in places that you never thought you would ever go. Adaptability is the key to life. All of us have adapted in ways that seemed way beyond our capacity. This is a wonderful thing. But it has been a difficult and sometimes hard won skill set. 

In the much bigger picture of reality we are all being pulled into the lessons and awareness of the Neptune in Pisces. The children being born from 2012 through 2025 are likely to usher in a new age of spiritual growth, understanding, and compassion. They will bring with them a desire for humanity to let go of its hatred, anger, and resentment of those that are different then themselves. Neptune in this position wants to create balance and point out social injustices. But to do this it creates upheavals and crisis (which we have been experiencing). 

We are all being called to our highest self. We are being asked to look into the unfathomable limitlessness of life and time. To do that we have to let go of the small, “I” We are being asked to step into a level of core movement that none of us have felt in this lifetime. We are becoming a global consciousness of many voices and one heart.

Internally we are being called to dissolve, unify and release the places where our beliefs keep us in suffering. We are being asked to come together as one. But to do that externally, first we need to know how to do that internally. 

Ask yourself this question, “Do you feel more loving to yourself now than you did in 2008?” Hopefully the answer is “Yes!” In many ways the coming of this Grande Trine in Water has washed away all things that do not truly belong to us. We are coming back to our core self stripped of ego and pretense, prejudices and judgments. 

During this month of June, we are finding a new rhythm and flow. We are stepping through a doorway and finding our fluid, adaptable self. We are together transcending the old beliefs and recognizing the presence of a greater power at work in our life. 

Can you hear the Sirens of the ocean calling you into the creative dance of love? Are you willing to find the place within that is very strong but not in the ways that you used to see strength. 

In this case, June is about seeing that strength is about acceptance in the flow that is water. Since we are going to be riding this water wave for a while, instead of blowing up things in our path, why not just go around them? The game is flow not fight. We are being asked to come from a place understanding rather than about needing to be right. 

If we could learn to be patient like a drop of water in the sky we would accept and know that eventually we will become that droplet of rain that falls into the river, to become a part of the land, that trickles into the lake, that flows into the river to eventually become one with the ocean. From that organic understanding there is no need to struggle or rush. The cosmic flow of all things is completely perfect and we are all in this together. 

Within you is a magic that you are only now becoming aware of. Within you is a knowing of your highest potential. Breathe and trust. Become one with the wave. Relax into the flow and you will not be harmed. There is no need to resist. The energy of change is upon us and it is going to be divine. Stay present and enjoy this new world that is unfolding. You don’t want to miss a moment of the synchronicity. The universal divine plan is unfolding and what a gift that we can all become a part of this amazing journey.

A MESSAGE FROM HIS HOLINESS THE THE DALAI LAMA

Love, Compassion and Tolerance

... The essence of all religions is love, compassion and tolerance. Kindness is my true religion. No matter whether you are learned or not, whether you believe in the next life or not, whether you believe in god or Buddha or some other   religion or not, in day-to-day life you must be a kind person. When you are motivated by kindness, it doesn’t matter whether you are a practitioner, a lawyer, a politician, an administrator, a worker, or an engineer: whatever your  profession or field, deep down you are a kind person. Love, compassion and tolerance are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive. If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it if you have love, compassion, and tolerance. The clear proof of a person’s love of God is if that person genuinely shows love to fellow human beings. To have strong consideration for others’ happiness and welfare, we must have a special altruistic attitude in which we take upon ourselves the burden of helping others. To generate such an unusual attitude, we must have great compassion—caring about the suffering of others and wanting to do something about it. To have such a strong force of compassion, we must have a strong sense of love that, upon observing sentient beings, wishes that they have happiness - finding a pleasantness in everyone and wishing happiness for everyone, just as a mother does for her sole sweet child. To have a sense of closeness and dearness for others, use as a model a person in this lifetime who was very kind to you. Then extend this sense of gratitude to all beings. Deep down we must have real affection for each other, a clear realization or recognition of our shared human status. At the same time, we must openly accept all ideologies and systems as a means of solving humanity’s problems. One country, one nation, one ideology, one system is not sufficient. It is helpful to have a variety of different approaches on the basis of a deep feeling of the basic sameness of humanity. We can then make a joint effort to solve the problems of the whole of humankind. Every major religion has similar ideas of love, the same goal of benefiting through spiritual practice, and the same effect of making its followers into better human beings. All religions teach moral precepts for perfecting the functions of mind, body, and speech. All teach us not to lie or steal or take others’ lives, and so on. The common goal of all moral precepts laid down by the great teachers of humanity is unselfishness. Those teachers wanted to lead their followers away from the paths of negative deeds caused by ignorance and to introduce them to paths of goodness. All religions can learn from one another; their ultimate goal is to produce better human beings who will be more tolerant, more compassionate, and less selfish. Human beings need spiritual as well as material sustenance. Without spiritual sustenance, it is difficult to get and maintain peace of mind. The purpose of religion is not to argue which one is the best. Over the past centuries, each great teaching has served humanity, so it’s much better to make friends, understand each other, and make an effort to serve humanity than to criticize or argue. Buddha, Jesus Christ, and all other great teachers created their ideas and teachings with sincere motivation, love, and kindness toward humanity, and they shared it for the benefit of humanity. I do not think those great teachers created differences to make trouble. Our human mind always likes different approaches. There is a richness in the fact that there are so many different presentations of the way. There are two ways to enter into Buddhism: one through faith and one through   reasoning. Faith alone may not be sufficient. Buddha always emphasized a balance of wisdom and compassion: a good brain and a good heart should work together. Placing importance on just the intellect and ignoring the heart can create more problems and more suffering in the world. On the other hand, if we emphasize only the heart, and ignore the brain, then there is not much difference between humans and animals. These two must be developed in balance, and when they are, the result is material progress accompanied by good spiritual development. Heart and mind working in harmony will yield a truly peaceful and friendly human family. I feel that my mission is, wherever I am, to express my feeling about the importance of kindness, compassion, and the true sense of brotherhood. I practice these things. It gives me more happiness, more success. If I practice anger or jealousy or bitterness, no doubt my smile would disappear. The real troublemakers are anger, jealousy, impatience, and hatred. With them, problems cannot be solved. Though we may have temporary success, ultimately our hatred or anger will create further difficulties. Anger makes for swift solutions. Yet, when we face problems with compassion, sincerity, and good motivation, our solutions may take longer, but ultimately they are better. When I meet new people, in my mind there is no barrier, no curtain. As human beings you are my brothers and sisters; there is no difference in substance. I can talk with you as I would to old friends. With this feeling we can communicate without any difficulty and can make heart-to-heart contact. Based on such genuine human relations—real feeling for each other, understanding each other—we can develop mutual trust and respect. From that, we can share other peoples’ suffering and build harmony in human society.

Welcome to the Season of Eclipses April/May 2013

Here we go into the Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio tomorrow April 25, 2013. This particular one will mostly affect the Scorpios, Leos, Aquarius's, Taurus's and Cancers. Lunar Eclipses want us to take a look backwards and notice if you are where you want to be. If things seem a bit off then this eclipse will make them worse. If you need to follow through with something then you better get on it and make sure it is finished. This particular lunar eclipse has a very complex emotional tone because of combined astrological patterns but this is just the beginning of a run of eclipses. 

We have the April 25 lunar eclipse, then the solar eclipse on May 9, then another lunar eclipse on May 25. So everyone take a breath and prepare for movement in many forms. May 4th is a touchy day as we hit a particular sensitive eclipse nerve so be kind and considerate to others and make an extra effort that day.

These aspects make us notice that we are actually mourning many types of losses. Letting go and healing the issues that these patterns bring up can take a while so do not judge yourself or others for the next month. What we are trying to create is movement with discipline but what tends to happen is that we want to push against issues and the past patterns that have created bitterness and upset. 

Ask yourself the question, "What would it take for you to step beyond the story you are telling yourself so you feel better?" In the end it does not really matter, it only matters that you are free, open, at peace, and loving to those you connect with in your life. 

We are being asked to go deeper and look at the places that no longer serve us. Notice how much energy you are using to maintain the position of being right. In the long run it is a waste of energy and time. We all would be better off to forgive and to realize that not getting what we want is often the correct path for us and that the divine knew much better than us what we needed and wanted. 

Trust is the key to healing. Trust that the circumstances are perfect for your life's purpose. Let others go and allow them to have their own karmas and patterns. You cannot walk in another's shoes and they cannot completely understand your path either. So now it is time to just let it go. Allow these eclipses to move you out of longing for what you think you deserve and begin to notice what you have and what you need emotionally to be happy. Things, people, and circumstances do not alone make you happy. You choose to be happy regardless of externals or how other people choose to see us. 

But nothing will change if you hold others telepathically in a place where they feel bad or less than. Someone needs to start the process and break the dysfunctional cycle. Let it be you. Let your conscious choice begin to allow the truth to surface. The truth that we are all human, we all make mistakes (that are not really mistakes at all), and that our hurt and anger is about not feeling loved or appreciated by those that we love. 

It is time to pay it forward. Open your heart and give to someone who is in need and love those from the past that have wronged you. Then you will be free and you free them to also begin to heal and open.

Suzanne will be on the Jimmy Chunga show at 8 am on Thursday.

Just letting everyone know that Thurs the 18th and 25th of April I will be on Jimmy Chunga's Show on 101.9 FM at 8 am Mountain Time. I will be doing psychic readings for listeners on the air. Hope you can listen in or even better call in. Look forward to talking to those on the show.

Intuitive Patterns for the Month of May 2013

The evolution to wholeness is often a twisted and complicated path. The more that we learn the more we realize how much there is to understand and how impossible it can seem to really understand the great design that is our life.

In every moment we are creating our reality. Each choice and action that we take modifies the external world and affects everything and everyone around us. When we are unconscious we are at the whim of the currents of the telepathic agreement field that creates this domain and the reality in which we find ourselves and in which we feel connected.

I love to travel because going to other countries and being exposed to other agreement fields and perspectives makes me realize how vast and different the possibilities can be. In those moments I understand just how malleable the reality can be and how caught up we can become in the agreement field in which we belong or choose to participate.

May brings with it the feeling of connectedness to all that is. Notice the connectedness that is beyond your small domain and reality. Begin to open to a larger connectedness that is humanity and become aware of how we can work together or if we are working against each other.

Over and over again, humanity loves to create separateness and because of not seeing that we are all one, this creates conflict. These conflicts cause suffering, needless fear, and perpetuate beliefs that are designed to de-humanize others.

It is through conscious awareness and clarity that we learn the deeper lesson, the lesson that by finding the commonality rather than the differences we can find resolution to conflict. When we look to each other as journeyours along the pathway of life and love, then our eyes do not become clouded by fear and uncertainty. We see ourself reflected back in each other. As equals walking the pathways of karma, love, and life, we can become more creative in how we express truth to others in ways that allow opening rather than closure.

If we could but step beyond the level of attachment and allow the spirit inside each of us to guide us along the pathway to harmony, then we can find a new song, a new vision, and a new way to move that is beyond the old forms of war, conflict, and revenge.

May brings the energy of spring and the ideas that erupt from a fresh new place. Take this month to nurture those new ideas into aliveness. Allow a possibility to emerge within you that has lain dormant for a long time. Reach out to others that can feel your heart and intent. And love those who are not ready to see the fullness that you are becoming.

It is only by example that we learn to trust and understand other ways of being. Your good intentions will be blocked by those who are not ready and do not understand. You cannot force your beliefs on others. You can only live your life in accordance with the deepest core truths that move you and motivate your heart to love.

We are preparing for the Grande Trine in Water on June 25^th. We are beginning to feel into the flow of a completely different possibility. We do not know what it will look like. We are not moving into air but water. This month you will feel the tide turning and the shift happening. All you have to do is follow the flow of your heart and creative spirit. Let something magical move you into uncharted waters. Feel the wind fill your sails and know that you are embarking on a new adventure that is taking you, beyond your mind, beyond you knowing, and into a place where you store your deepest self. 

May is the month of preparation for this shift. We cannot continue in the old way. It has become too exhausting. You do not want to be Don Juan fighting warriors that are illusions. It is time to get into the heart that beats your soul into aliveness. It is a beautiful heart. It has great knowing and wisdom. Trust it and it will show you the miracle of who you are.

This month I would love to end with a favorite phrase from the Dali Lama.

You must not hate those who do wrong or harmful things; but with compassion, you must do what you can to stop them — for they are harming themselves, as well as those who suffer from their actions. 

INTUITIVE PATTERNS FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL 2013

Osho Zen Tarot: Turning In, Exhaustion, Comparison
Medicine Cards: Fox, Blank Shield, Mountain Lion
Mayan Oracle: Complex Stability, Imix, Manik
Ancient Egyptian Tarot: Four of Cups, The Wheel of Fortune, Justice
Aleister Crowley Deck: Science, Knight of Swords, The Star
Healing Earth Tarot: Wise Old Woman, Seven of Pipes, Temperance
Words of Truth: Synergy, Beginning, Impeccability

Here we are in the stellium of Aries and lets just say if you are not feeling a kick start to your engine or you are not feeling like you are being shoved through a door then you must be fast asleep or perhaps lost in the delusion of Neptune in Pisces.

The last time we had this many planets in Aries was April/May of 2011. Remember that lovely time? Egypt was erupting and this began of the governmental transformations in the Middle East. We had also just had the earthquake in Japan and the nuclear incident, and there was the saber rattling in North Korea.

What happens when you get 5 Gods of War (Aries) all together? Change happens. Aries is a lot of power and that energy wants revolution and revelation, movement, changes in communication, and the end to exhaustion. This is something that we all need as we move out of winter into spring. With these aspects spring has sprung. This will make us feel more self-assertive and focused. We may not know where we are going but all we know is that we are going and this energy will give us passion and determination to do it.

We will become more explorative and willing to investigate options that allow for greater freedom and happiness individually. New ideas and new projects have already been thrust forward and by April you know you are on you way into another domain. The awareness is that the old way is no longer working and the realization that in this moment the patterns from the past do not serve us in navigating the future. We are all seeking the leader within us that will be bold and allow us to move forward into the unknown with enthusiasm and courage. 

Just as this energy is a huge push to jump this month. Be aware of the fact that you might want to write all those lovely plans in pencil and to have an eraser handy because nothing is set in stone. If the last 5 years has taught us anything it should be that it is not about where you are going but how you are getting there. We are no longer in a world of beginnings, middles, and ends; we are in a world of process where things are constantly changing. Where you are going is less important than your integrity, character, honesty, and sincerity.

April is the month of shape shifting, morphing, and transformation. So let the energy of Aries blow open that doorway into the new you. You are in the place where you are birthing something. That might be a new job or a new possibility. You have the enthusiasm and faith to allow it to happen smoothly. You can finally feel the flow and movement. Let that excitement move you out of the emotional drama from the early part of March and allow you to feel active in your own creation once again. 

It is Spring! It is time to start, learn, open, and plant seeds. There is only this moment right now. Let that feeling overwhelm you into making that gutsy leap into the place you really want to go. Try to not compare yourself to others. That is a pointless endeavor. You are making a pathway that is perfect for your karmas, kinks, twists, gifts, and purpose. Allow everyone else to also have that right. Support each other in stretching out of the normal and give permission for each person to find what is the new natural way for them. 

When you are in alignment with the moment there is a balance that is easy and flow happens organically. April is the month to stop hiding your light. April is the month to roar and step forward into the world that you are choosing to create. When you do that with impeccability, integrity, and honesty, what you create not only feels divine to you but it can also give permission for others to find their truth and path also.

Let yourself be a blank canvas for the universe to mold, color, and shape. Move towards what is synergistic and emotionally aligned with your soul. Then you cannot go wrong. You will find a renewed vigor, vitality, wisdom, and certainty. 

April is the month when you can begin to feel the movement that we have all been waiting for over these long years. We are moving into a Grande Trine in Water June 25^th which will allow us to finally break free of some of the constriction and density that has been plaguing us for so many years. In April, we should feel like a seed that is ready to burst forth into the light after a long cold winter. That seed is full of promise, hope, inspiration, willingness, and open to all the possibilities. 

This can be a wonderful month. Feel the wave of warmth and change wash over everyone and you. Together we can enthusiastically move together as one. We can be the change that inspires the world.
