Intuitive Patterns for the Month of September 2009


Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace amid the storm.

Well if you have not made some radical changes during the month of August, then September will be a major shift in your reality. Astrologically there are some major events that will shake the financial foundations once again.

Anyone who reads my column knows that I am not the psychic of gloom and doom and no aspects are super bad. But the universe tends to teach lessons in trends or patterns and unfortunately we are deeply in one at this time.

This pattern began last September and here we are again and it is the luck of the draw that some upsets are scheduled to happen during this month in the cosmic dance of transformation for our consciousness.

Part of navigating challenging times is about being prepared and staying awake to shifting tides. This is one of those moments. Globally there are some breakdowns that will either deepen or darken your emotional outlook.

I prefer to become deeper.

When I am challenged I reach into my center and core and realign my priorities and become brutally honest as to what will work or not work for me. There is tremendous freedom when you finally let go of what you have wanted to get from the universe and realize that when you die it is what you have given to others that gives you the energy to evolve and shift to higher levels of awareness.

So when externals in my life get crazy I look to what will allow me to find balance within and share that balance with others. Sometimes this means that a calculated delay of getting a particular outcome is required.

That does not mean that I will not get what I want but I might have to move at a more reasonable pace based on the environment and circumstances of my life at this time. It is in those moments that I have learned to not fight the flow of life but to allow the flow to organically take me where it wants to lead me. Often my head is fighting the whole way but I have learned that my mind is not necessarily the most enlightened and conscious part of my reality. It is my mind that can consistently delay my enlightenment just a little longer by getting me caught up in my desires or dreams, resentments or incompletions.

Do yourself a favor and this month just do not give your mind a lot of energy or it might just make you panic. Instead take a look at what right now you know is not working appropriately and just choose to commit to a new pattern.

Yes, I know it will feel horrible, scary, and as if you are dying.

When that is happening you will know that you are successfully disengaging from your ego mind. And I know my ego will try anything to keep me in the patterns of the past. But I am not my experience and I am not my DNA. Neither are you. So what do you want to trust? You’re habits and heartaches or your souls potential to grow and evolve into your true self.

Yes, it will be challenging for a bit. But the good news is that you are not alone in this process at the moment. Earth is doing a huge leap into totally unknown patterns of evolution and everyone is in the same boat with you. So there are many to talk to and share what you are experiencing.

In the sharing you will find that the fear lets go just enough so you can see you’re way through to a place of new potential. But it is new and it will feel different. Anything new will be uncomfortable at the beginning. Find the passion you hold within and feel into situations rather than try to figure everything out. Find pleasure in the free flow and new movement. Realize that even in chaos there are patterns of organic balance that can lead you to realizations and awakenings. You are all beings of light that have chosen to have this experience at this most amazing time to not only grow yourself but to assist others in opening and awakening through the sharing of your knowledge and experience. So give yourself the opportunity to try some new experiences and allow that process to move this new awareness into the grace of wisdom.

The Challenges of Being a Psychic During this Time of Transformation and Change


I recently had my own birthday reading with a great astrologer, Ralfee Finn. I have known her for years and she writes articles for the Mountain Astrologer as well as the Catalyst. As we got to talking we both began to compare notes about how incredibly difficult it has been to be the messenger and voice of the huge changes that have been happening for the last year. She and I both found that, as we globally shift through changes in time, people do not really want to hear that there might be a problem or a challenge.

Psychics, Mystics, and Healers throughout time are those that notice the trends and patterns of life. It is our job to give insight and warning into situations that can be difficult so you are ready and can make the best choice during those times.

In life, there are always consistent patterns of growth. This is the law of nature. It affects everything, not just humans. For example, lets take a tree. At the beginning all the conditions need to be right for a seed to sprout. Once it sprouts the tree is in a rush to grow as much as possible because lots of animals would love to eat a soft, sweet, new seedling.

So the seed grows quickly to the point that it can create a harder bark and leaves strong and in the light. Then from the surface, the tree seems to not grow but it grows underneath in the ground. It spreads out its roots and sends a taproot deep as it can to get to water and nutrients for later. From that point growth is seasonal, fairly predictable, and consistent. When there is an abundant year, the bark will indicate more growth. In lean years the bark indicates less growth. This is true of all things alive on this planet.

As humans we have our own rhythm of growth. There are moments we are like that seedling, rapidly reaching upwards. But there are also moments that we need to reach deeper within to get to the water and nutrients that will allow us to survive difficult and lean times. One pattern of growth is not better than another. They are all essential to life.

Humans have a challenge because sometimes we do not always stay in touch with nature and the flows and trends of life all around. Those signals are there but we can get caught up in our mind and ignore natures signals or believe that we know better. The dance of life is about knowing, listening, and adjusting to what is. By being in the is-ness of each moment we can make better choices and are less upset. But being completely present in each moment is very difficult in our busy Western lives.

Everyone has his or her own intuition. I believe that we must learn to listen personally to what is true for us. What is one person’s intuitive hit may contradict another person’s intuition. This does not mean one is wrong and the other is right. They can be both right but for reason’s that are not apparent at first.

Years ago, before the North Ridge earthquake in LA, I had two clients that each had an intuition that there was going to be a quake. One was so frightened she came to me and wanted to check to see if she was right with her feeling that she needed to move back home to Ohio. The cards agreed with her that she needed to move and if she didn’t the consequences were going to be bad. So she moved back home and the earthquake happened and the condo, which she had owned, folded right in the middle as the earthquake wave bent the condo repeatedly right at her unit. It was totaled. She could have been hurt or killed.

Yet, another client also felt the energy before the quake and she felt like everything was going to be fine. Sure enough the cards agreed with her. The quake happened and she had only a broken shelf of glasses.

What became even more interesting was that the first woman’s move also became even more magical and important. She moved home, was looking for a job, and place to stay.
At the beginning she was with her mother and unexpectedly her mother had a sudden heart attack. She was there to call 911 and save her mother’s life.

So there are often reason’s beyond the obvious to pay attention to messages from intuition.

When I was speaking with Ralfee we both spoke about how globally we are coming out of a time of great prosperity and excessiveness. As psychics and astrologers’ we know that everything in life moves in trends and waves. Those waves go up and down. It is not personal. I love to look at history not as a way to get stuck in the past but to look at the pattern of lessons that tend to evolve. By being aware we learn to make better choices that are less ballistic and reactive in the moment. By being informed as to lessons that are coming you can make a choice as to a strategy that might work better. It is important to notice what lessons others in the past tried and see if they worked or didn’t. Denial of trends and patterns can get you into a lot a trouble down the road.

We live in a time of positive affirmations and amazing technologies related to the growth of consciousness. Life always has its ups and downs. This is how we learn! You cannot grow if everything is always perfect. You cannot discover your hidden powers, gifts, and potential’s if you do not have moments when you are forced to reach beyond what you think you are or beyond what your family wanted you to be.

So life will challenge what you think you know or believe at times. This is how we discover new ways of doing things. Those with the new ideas are always rebuffed by the societal pattern at first. That is because change is difficult and often we do not change until we believe and feel the effect on our personal lives. It is in those moments that we stand up as a group and the change happens.

Look to how quickly the Berlin wall came down in the 1990’s. At a certain point change is all that is left to do and then the change can happen rapidly.

We are in one of those times.

Many people are seeing the trend for change and are actively working to find ways to do that. The shifting of a global consciousness is no small feat. There is tremendous resistance to make this leap. This leap is more than just the economy, green energy, money, banking, etc. It is a shift of awareness that is about allowing and accepting everyone as having value and learning to let go of fixed ideas and beliefs about who deserves and who we believe does not.

So both Ralfee and I have been dealing with people who are so upset, angry, stuck, resistant, and afraid. We have great compassion and understanding. This change is the largest shift in global awareness that either of us have seen in our lives. It is huge. Both of us are optimists but we are also attempting to make people aware of the trend so they can protect themselves and make choices that support growth; not their ego.

I have had so many clients that have come to me since last year when I began to warn about this particular trend. They listened, protected their assets, backed off on spending, paid off credit cards, and got back to the basics for enjoying life. They have called and told me the millions of dollars I have saved them and how grateful they are. And there are others who want me to tell them what they want to hear that they are going to be able to keep the pattern of excess going and not deal with the deeper underlying emotional issues that are feeding the pattern of need and excess. They become angry, defensive, and resistant to feedback. Yet, later they come back and even say to me that they were really angry and they did not do what I said and lost everything. So now they were back and this time they were going to listen to my feedback and handle situations differently.

I am an optimist. I know the power of the mind and thought. I understand the dynamic of the pain body and I know that we do not have to make change difficult.

But most people do not know how to make change fluidly.

Being a psychic has helped me know that the universe does not create suffering for me. Life is just life. Life is challenging. Life does hurt at times. What I get to decide is how much I will experience that as suffering. You can break your leg and not suffer. You can loose everything and not suffer. Suffering is something that you choose because you are learning about some deeper pattern or aspect within you.

Before the Kuwait war, the dreamers from the Lakota Sioux knew that they needed to take the peace pipe to the Middle East to prevent a global world war. These Indians had never been out of the country and yet they were able to politically pull strings and go to the Middle East to perform a Peace Pipe ceremony as they believed that their actions could stop a disaster. They were not wrong. A war still happened but it was not a global war. Their small action made a difference. Each of us has that same capacity if we are willing to act on what is true for us in the now.

Before 911, the Peruvian shaman came down off the mountain and spoke as a group for the first time about the tremendous changes and potential disasters that were imminent if we did not begin to pay attention to the messages that nature was trying to tell us. They did their best to warn and give insight with no judgment. People did not want to hear it and they left and went back up the mountain.

Throughout time there have been many moments of change. There have always been those who choose to take the risk and attempt to open up the eyes of those who are ready.

So take a look around you.

You are living in a time of awakened transformation that is revolutionary on this planet. If you are here you must have believed that your soul could awaken to a higher potential and awareness. So let go and become present in this moment of your life.

From this place of presence, what needs to get handled? Do what is right in front of you. Do not let your past habits and patterns dictate your future. You do have the power in your hands to navigate this transition without suffering. You must let go of your past wounds. You must be willing to let go of what you think you know and discover a new awareness and understanding. Your past perspective is not the only valid perspective. Get creative and have fun while you are experiencing it. Know there are moments to be cautious, awake, and aware. This is one of those moments.

The psychics, mystics, and astrologers of this planet are right now attempting to give a head’s up to choices that are on your horizon. We are not here to make you feel bad about yourself. Quite the contrary. We are here to warn and inspire you to take actions that give you what you really want. To feel vitally alive and empowered with the knowledge you need to make the choices that give you safety and peace. This time is a pattern. What you do with that pattern and how you navigate it is up to you.

I personally love challenges. I am my best self when I have to reach creatively beyond my limited perspective to understand or include others. See this time as a grand adventure. One that you will be proud of later.
