Numerology/Astrology for 1/1/15

Today we are in the day of Radiance or the number 10. So this is a day that completely aligns with the Mars Opposition to Jupiter, which will give you a strong desire to expand, to grow, and to do and know more. If you feel limited, restricted or if we don't know where to begin, this can serve to frustrate you to the point to moving beyond your fear and extend into the unknown. This Mars opposition can cause impatience. What you want to do may be in conflict with what is actually possible. You may get fired up over opposing viewpoints, and you may need to adjust your plan of action. Feelings of competition can motivate you to push yourself a little harder. The trick will be to do so in moderation. The Moon is in Taurus until 12:10 PM EST, when it enters Gemini, increasing your curiosity and desire to reach out and make connections. There is a feeling of wanting to “Kick some *ss”. (If you get the hint.) Besides, it is a new year. When you combine 2 + 0 + 1 + 5 = 8. Now in general I like to think of even years as being more even but the fact that we start off this year with the fiery intensity of the number 10 and the Mars Opposition to Jupiter I think that is an indication that there is going to be a tremendous amount of change in the next year. We will have the Grand Cardinal Cross ending this year. Though it might take until the middle of the summer to really feel it. We have the last square between Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn on March 16/17. And we have the energetic push of Saturn in Sagittarius for most of the year. Then add in the Jupiter in Leo (even though it is retrograde till April) and lets just say that “Movement” is going to be the key word for 2015. So today, get organized and create a plan. My suggestion is to get those taxes handled and don’t wait for anything till the last minute. When a lot of energy is moving forward it is going to be really difficult to suddenly say, “Wait, I am not quite ready.” So think ahead. Stay on top of your game. Be responsible and lets make it a fabulous year for acceleration and change. If you are on top of things then it will not feel overwhelming. If you drag your feet, this could be tough.

…and those who escape hell, however, never talk about it and nothing much bothers them after that.

~Charles Bukowski~

I picked this quote because I would say the general consensus of flow since 2008 and the beginning of the downturn for most has been one of a version of “Hell”.  2015 is the year where we are like Inanna coming out of the underworld, forever changed but much more compassionate and in alignment with something beyond our limited self. You have grown and are significantly stronger now. You are also much more content with what is and what you have rather than going after some fantasy that you believed would make you happy. You recognize where you have been in illusion and there is a deeper inner honesty within your core and there is a potential to step beyond stuff and into essence.

New Year's Resolutions for 2015 - Let's make it a Group Effort

Personal Note From Suzanne

Okay, it is New Year's Resolution time. I know I just heard the collective, "Oh God!" It seems that in the winter when it is cold outside we have all this lovely time to think, contemplate, and create great ideas to challenge ourself. On many levels it is a wonderful thing as dreams do eventually become the reality. So this year, try to not get too far out there and create a resolution that is really not going to be possible. When you do that you fail and then it just becomes another weapon for you to use against yourself at a later date. 

I challenge everyone to make resolutions with your dearest friends. I know my friends can help me stick to things and when I do things in a group, others help to keep me motivated and moving forwards. 

So I am asking you to successfully trap yourself by making your agreements in some way public. (At least with friends and loved ones.) If I make a resolution just to myself, I can easily lie or take myself off the hook. So gather your best friends together and do something that perhaps serves the greater good of all instead of just yourself. Make a resolution to feed the homeless monthly, or donate to Tibet Aid each month as a group. Perhaps be in a book club all together and read books that are inspiring for your selective interests. 

As humans we are communal beings and it is together that be accomplish the most. It is when we all support a common goal that mountains can be moved. 

What can you do for another that supports them and their growth rather than just yourself? Those are great resolutions to make. And they are more fun and you heart becomes happy when you love others in deep and meaningful ways. 

There is a lot to get started. With the Saturn in Sagittarius there is a real push to get going and do something. Think less about some small and self involved goal. Instead think about what you can do together, with others. Then stand back and watch the fires ignite. It is time for a world wide shift in energy but that energy has to have an intent that serves the greater good. Take out the "M" in Me and put in a "W" to make it a We. The world is calling out for your energy, love, and support.

Have a wonderful 2015.

Numerology/Astrology for 12/31/14

Today we are in the day of the Physical Body or the number 14/5. As we come into the energy for 2015, what is it that you would like to birth? What are you creating at this time in your life? Each of us continues to create things, whether it is children, adventures, our personal story, art, music, etc. Since the New Year is looming take some time to consciously create your next level of personal evolution. Step out of the mind and into the compelling energy of the heart. Feel into the yearning of the part of your soul that knows how to manifest and allow that passion to pull you deeper into a co-creative intent with the life force that is what this planet is all about. The Moon is in Taurus all day, but while there is a general craving for security, predictability, and comfort, there can be building tension with the Moon square both Mars and Jupiter. Mars and Jupiter are moving towards an opposition, exact tomorrow, which can bring a turning point to a project or even an attitude. You will feel very passionately about some belief but you should watch that this doesn't border on self-righteousness. Instead, intend to work hard at improving your ideas and uncovering information. There is a competitive feel to the day. You might use this energy as motivation to improve yourself, your life, and your financial situation.
~Suzanne Wagner~

Quote

Dear Sister, you have responded to 'the Call'.

I bow. Feed your intention. Stay rooted in compassion, empathy, encouragement and intuition, and it will navigate you through the fear. Fear is just a feeling, coming and going, your deeper intention is the voice of evolution.

~Chameli Devi~

Following the voice of the deeper self is that force that compels you beyond fear and into possibility. What is that yearning that is constantly calling you in the whispers of music, the emotional ache of a movie or the instincts of your inner animalistic nature? Learning to follow those promptings of the guides and your highest self is what being filled with life is all about. It is really about how much are you willing to feel in this “reality show” called Earth. What can you do today that places you safely, consciously, and constructively on the edge of your old limitations of self? Go there and then lean into the possibility. That is where you find the bliss. That is where you feel awake and that is where you discover your enlightened self.

Numerology/Astrology for 12/30/14

Today we are in the day of Neutral Mind or the number 13/4. Where is your “home”. Where do you find your center and inner balance? Today is a day where you want to construct something that allows for a sense of inner peace in a constructive, realistic, and almost traditional reality. Each of us finds balance in different ways. I love exercise as a way to find balance. Meditation is always easier for me after I exercise. I also love doing the switching of Hot and Cold plunges at Hot Springs. When I have been in the hot and then go into very cold water, it instantly puts me into a deep mindful meditation. My mind stops, my head cools off, I instantly find my center, and there is no effort involved except to put myself into the cold water. So what gives you that experience? What supports an effortless transition into deep clarity? Discover what that might be for you and then create a tradition that serves your highest self in finding and maintaining center. Everyone in your life will benefit from you being in your best self. The Moon continues to transit Aries until 5:57 AM EST, when it enters Taurus, and today is a day were you instinctively begin to wind down and settle in. The Moon harmonizes with the Capricorn Sun tonight, and increased clarity comes from a feeling that what you want and what you need are in harmony. Mercury quincunx Jupiter could put you on a decision-making fence. Expect to have big ideas under this influence, but be careful to not overestimate your abilities or underestimate the situation.

Quote

Change develops slowly. At its own pace. Even our perceptions are slowly coming into are more real and authentic view. They have currently been based on a past memory ..and event that is no longer happening.. ..a fear ,maybe ,that is not real. Slowly though, this view is being seen for what is …like clouds that dissipate into a more clear day.. ..we begin to see. There is a silence that emerges ..we are finally understanding this …We are becoming who we have always been ..and it is so good . The distance between what we are and what we have allowed ourselves to believe is becoming shorter. We are not the past perceptions ..we are not those fears that have been with us all of these years . We are beautiful in our ways. Change moves at its on pace. For once we can feel who we are now and again.. ..it is good. And we smile.

Recognizing that each of us moves at our own pace is one of those things that is at times challenging. My mind often wants to just get on with it. But my body and emotions often take much more time to shift. We are very complex. Bodies are in the densest part of the physical plane and give us the tools to manifest in this world but they move slowly, change slowly, and go into resistance. My emotions at times move more quickly but then there are moments when I am frozen for very long periods of time. So predicting my emotional flow to change goes up and down depending upon the situation. Regardless I know that my energy and that connection of that energy to my body flows and has its own timing. Any time I try to rush my growth, it usually ends unpleasantly. When I instead wait for all the clear signs and signals, then there is an ease and flow that allows me to understand why things have perhaps taken as long as they have.

Numerology/Astrology for 12/29/14 - Plus Personal Blog

Numerology/Astrology for 12/29/14

Today we are in the day of Positive Mind or the number 21/3. Lucky is the name of the game. It is a highly social day and a wonderful moment to get out in nature and feel the crisp air and learn to enjoy the winter energy with those you love. I know it is cold but when you are out in the snow with family and friends it feels warm. Let out your cheeky, bubbly, and charismatic side. Ignite the flow of laughter and fun with all you meet. Get them giggling! Let the natural flow of love and acceptance be your guiding light today. See the potential in everyone and everything. Let others feel safe and bring an “easy to be with” energy into all activities. You just might find that you are the instigator for a great day. The Moon is in Aries all day, stimulating a desire to take action. Energy is fresh and forward-looking. The quickest way to get immediate results is to use that Aries Moon to kick start the possibilities. And if the effect you make is not exciting enough right away you might choose to shift things on a dime or drop a project and plan another one. You are full of a fiery, immediate, and hard to ignore energy today. Mercury's semi-square to Neptune late afternoon, however, can point to some dilly-dallying when it comes to communications, which the Aries Moon has little patience for. In that moment of push and pull you may not be thinking clearly so you may need to drop your agenda and just let things flow where they may.

Remember when you were younger and you thought you knew who you were? Then remember that moment when the magnitude of the real world and the possibilities really hit your consciousness and you realized that your grand dream was actually very limited and that you needed to expand your horizons? Those are wonderful moments. I remember my first big shift in potential. I was 25 years old and I was going through some old things at my parents’ house and I came across a journal where I wrote down what I wanted to accomplish as a professional ballet dancer. Much to my shock, I discovered I had done everything on my list. In that moment I realized that it was time for me to leave ballet and move on to the next stage of my life. But I had never thought or dreamed beyond the career in ballet. I knew that I never wanted to teach dance or choreography but what was that next step for me. On one level I was very happy and satisfied because how many people actually can cross off their “bucket list” from when they were 15 years old. And yet, on the other level there was a void as I stood at the brink the unknown looking into the vast ocean of possibilities. I knew that I was not brave enough to quit just yet but I knew that I had to put energy into the next stage of my life. I could feel myself closing one book and opening another. But that new book had no writing on the pages. Then it was a process of feeling into my heart and soul and discovering what was calling me forward. It is often the thing that you want to do but fear the most that is the door to your personal happiness. If you are at one of those doors for yourself, call into your mind that dream, let go of the fear, and leap into those blank pages. Not knowing is actually quite fun when you let go of feeling as if there is any way to do your life incorrectly.

Numerology/Astrology for 12/28/14

Today we are in the day of Transcendence or the number 11. Are you willing to leap into the unknown and trust that the process will expand you in ways that you cannot understand in this moment? If you are then you are ready. You cannot know everything that the great mystery has in store for you. You have to know that regardless there is something of wonder and depth within you attempting to expand out of this narrow world you are presently in. Yes, you have moments of doubt. Yes, you will have moments of joy. That is life. You cannot fully live when you play it safe and right now not much feels safe. But being at the edge is exactly you’re your heart and soul needs to awaken. Give yourself that chance and also give permission to feel everything as it naturally arises. Early into the day, Venus forms a quincunx with Jupiter, there can be a conflict between your desire for pleasure and you desire to do right or to fulfill your responsibilities. Finding a balance may be difficult with this influence that tends to keep us in an "either/or" state of limbo. This afternoon the Sun and Jupiter in a challenging aspect might encourage you to push your limits, and restlessness may be a problem. Moods can be up and down (manic/depressive for some) so stay aware of your own swings and attempt to limit the highs. In life I have found that you can interrupt a manic cycle but it is very difficult to interrupt a depressive cycle. The Moon enters Aries at 1:36 AM EST, and this transition generally stimulates a strong desire for taking action and starting fresh.

To find your way, you will need courage. Lots of it. If you don’t have it, fake it until you make it. Soul shapers are artists, but they are also warriors. It is no easy feat to shape the inner world. You need the heart of a lion to overcome the odds. You need to fight for your right to the light.

Are you willing to stand up and stand for the light that you came to give this world? Are you willing to stop thinking about all the ways that you can fail and instead just choose to focus on discovering the power and depth that is within you? In every person is a warrior trying to get out. Some of you hold your warrior on the inside and some of you hold your warrior on the outside. Those of you that are externalizing your warrior, try to shift the focus to a more inward battle. Learn to use those skills that you have uncovered to shape the world into shaping yourself into the most magnificent person possible. For those of you that hold your warrior in the inside try to come out and share that wisdom you have discovered with the rest of us. We all need to see and feel each other’s wisdom and skill.

Numerology/Astrology for 12/27/14

Today we are in the day of Radiant Light. It is a full on power day as we are in the “Perfect 10”. So what is perfect for you? Perfect is when you are completely present in the moment and you are feeling one with the flow of life all around you. Perfection is not about the “I” but the knowing that you belong to the “All” and that you are not separate. When you feel as if you belong in life and are no longer separate from that life then energy flows organically and there is a sense of a greater magic that flows with and between all things. You are truly powerful when you know that you are simply the vehicle for a greater energy to move through you and touch others in meaningful ways. Let life mold you into the Radiant Light that you came to be. Feel that when you allow that to happen something inside of you awakens and then life becomes a process of constant joy and love. Be aware that this day might throw you a curveball. Projects may derail without giving you a fair warning but be prepared for anything. Combine that with the number 10 day and you will know that you are being tested to stand in the light of who you are regardless of circumstances. Remember to stay in control of your emotions as letting others get under your skin could spell disaster.
~Suzanne Wagner~

Quote

No one ever became wise through criticizing others. When we judge others and complain about their actions, we are always looking outside ourselves. We are missing the point of Vipassana and insight training.....Insight training means to look at the mind that is actually making those judgments and not the object of them. It means to have a clear picture of what is really happening, and where it is happening. Not outside. Not in the world. But in our own mind. Only in our mind. When we know where to look for the truth, all our problems and judgments fall away. This is known as awakening to truth.

~Michael Kewley~

Blog

Truth is always a mirror. The truth is being constantly reflected in my world if I just stop and become still to what is being presented in my world. The challenge for me personally is when I see the conflict in the external world I have to look deeply into myself and know that if that conflict is happening anywhere it is happening within myself. I am a part of this co-creation and how can I become more conscious of this creation that we call, “Life”? Am I feeding the conflict in any way? Am I supporting a healthy transformation of that conflict that allows for all opinions, options, possibilities, and the needs and concerns of others? How can I shift the blame and hatred that is reflected in the news and politics into a form of understanding and acceptance without selling out truth, justice, or denying the great need for a better balance in life and money in the world? These are questions that require you to dive deep inside and first find the balance inside yourself. Often others either become guides and support or they become the reflections that make us recognize that we are still a work in progress and there are still places within that refuse to let go of beliefs that continue the process of separation.

Numerology/Astrology for 12/26/14

Today, we are in the number 9. Intuition is riding a high as we flow into the creative energy of the number 9. So ask yourself the question, “What is your soul purpose?” Then sit in silence and let your right brain discover the higher answer rather than the answer in your mind. You are on the journey of empathy, altruism, and benevolence. You have an inner genius that is awakening. Let that process unfold and let the mysticism within you, out. While we may struggle with what's real and what's not today under the influence of Mercury-Saturn and Venus-Neptune semi-squares, a sextile between the Sun and Neptune tonight suggests that we ultimately settle into a good place. We are inspired and instinctual judgment is enhanced under this influence. We are able to see matters, and people, from a different perspective - one that allows for, and even finds beauty in, differences.

Quote

And this will be your daring moment. The moment where you decide to say yes to your heart, to follow what you love and do something differently. The moment where you choose to stop hesitating, avoiding and procrastinating and you show up fully for what you want. The moment you act in the face of fear. The moment you say yes, to you.

We are at the end of the year. We are at the place where New Year’s Resolutions begin to form in our minds. So what do you want to create for 2015? Today, you are in a very creative place and your dreams a close to the surface. We are all filled with love and abundance from the holidays and it is a wonderful exercise to try to extend the energy of infinite possibilities. So today, pull out a piece of paper and do it the old fashioned way, write it down. Something organic happens when you put pen to paper, it allows your creative mind to activate and allows you to begin to express in fluid and flowing ways. Make some time to let yourself feel into what will bring you joy and allow your energy to become excited and flow into your mind, through your heart, and out your hands onto a piece of paper. Something magical can happen if you allow yourself to dream.

Numerology/Astrology for 12/25/14 - Merry Christmas Everyone!

Numerology/Astrology for 12/25/14

Merry Christmas, we are in the number 8 day. So, not surprisingly, the negative side of the number 8 is greed. Everyone take a step away from the presents! Just joking. But remember that Christmas is not about just what you receive but about what you give to others. Family is our foundation and it can also be a source of great stress. Don’t let the negative 8 energy of belligerence; manipulation, anger, and judgment take over your holiday. Instead be confident and take a few risks that are revealing, authentic, and sincere. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be yourself. Karma is often tied to our ego’s attachment to being in control or acting like we have it all together. It takes a lot of energy to maintain a false sense of self. Today, drop the act. Be real and see what happens. It is amazing that when one person opens, spontaneously others open also in response. Mercury conjuncts Pluto shortly into the day, and mental activity can be intense at this time. This is a key moment when you may uncover valuable information or gain new understanding about your family or yourself. Your mind wants to investigate something important and you may be bent on revealing some truth. Your persuasive powers, strategic thinking, and observational skills increase, but you may also be suspicious, manipulative, obsessed, or you might be involved in frustrating mental battles if you handle this transit improperly. However, late morning, a sextile between Mercury and Chiron makes it a strong time for sensitive, supportive conversations, which is perfect for the holiday. You can effectively use words to heal and comfort others today. You will feel more open to new ways of looking at problems or at life in general. There is warmth and a stronger desire for harmony much of the day. Have a wonderful holiday season!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope that you have a lovely celebration with your family. Don’t forget to stop and take in these momentous moments. Too soon someone in your family will leave this planet and you will wish that you had paid more attention to the small things they did that expressed love. This holiday season, do a gratitude circle. This is where everyone gets to express what someone else has done that has touched his or her heart and soul. Often we do not know that something that we did that was small actually had a big impact on another. Let in the love. Let in the gratitude that you feel for life and the chaos that is always your intimate family. Just realize that you have been doing this dance with these people for probably many lifetimes. What are the lessons you are still learning? What are the gifts that are deep in your heart that you still withhold? Let it all go. Be here now and be fully in this moment. Feel all those that have departed this earth are also celebrating with you. Let all the love that surrounds you seep into the cracks in your armor. Forgive, release, and allow your heart to be bigger than any history or story that you have been telling yourself. We are all human. We all make mistakes. And we are always love.

Numerology/Astrology for 12/24/14

On Wednesday, we are in the number 7. With the ingenuity of the Moon in Aquarius it is a great day to flow into the patterns, structures, and intellectual understanding that the number 7 gives you. You are being asked to awaken to the deeper truths that are to create inner strength, healing, and peace. All the number 7 to give you the quick wit and calm insight that a clear mind gives you. There is a magical flow if you will let go and feel into the situations at hand with discernment, study, and the mind of a beginner. Do not assume you understand or know what is going on. Be like a hollow bamboo and allow the flow the dictate your actions rather than your old habits. Mercury squares Aquarius' ruler, Uranus. Your senses are stimulated, and you could have sudden flashes of insight or fresh new ideas. However, you could be over-stimulated at times, having difficulty staying focused, and can have a hard time with monotonous or routine tasks. There can be interruptions and it could be challenging following through on your ideas and projects under this influence. New information can surface now that upsets the status quo, but can also act to stimulate your mind into new ways of thinking. The Moon aligns with Mars in Aquarius tonight, and you can be itching to take action. You will feel braver and more decisive.

Fear is not your enemy. Do not be ashamed of it. All beings in existence feel it. You could not know truth and you could not know love without the contrast of fear. It is the tool that is serving your expansion the very most. It is understandable, yet somewhat funny, that most of us are going through such lengths to try to avoid the very tool, which keeps offering itself to us because it keeps wanting us so badly to find out the truth and to feel love.

Let the truth guide your actions rather than your history or the beliefs that you have been depending upon for a long time. You cannot deny who or what you are. You cannot deny what you came to gift the planet. Just follow that thread of authentic truth and life will unfold in a gentle and fluid way. When you are out of alignment with a core truth is when there will be moments of feeling that there is sometime out of alignment. When the internal and external worlds diverge then there is something amiss. That is where you have to do some digging into the hidden places of your reality. Let the tool be truth. Let the tool be love. Let your essence expand beyond the form of this present reality.

Numerology/Astrology for 12/23/14 and Personal Blog

Numerology/Astrology for 12/23/14

On Monday we are in the number 15/6. As the number 6 is about noticing and becoming one with your spiritual self, it makes send that this is a number where you become aware of needing to take responsibility for all your choices. Now, I do mean all. What I mean is that before you came down here you wanted to break into some awareness of understanding of your deeper connection to the divine order of things. Some lessons and skills are all about shattering out of illusion and ego. In order to do that you will have intense moments where you will feel as if your world is shattered. Cracking opens hearts and shattering egos are essential for having emotional depth and to finding grace under pressure. I must admit that I am better for all the intense experiences I have had. I did not say I enjoyed all of them but I can see the value in the journey to become a lover of all that humanity has to offer. Balance is essential to finding acceptance about your choices and your life. It is part of the pathway to becoming a teacher. Without the capacity to be selfless you will not be able to related to others suffering. You must become curious about life and more importantly your life. It is a mosaic of wonder and subtlety. Let the number 6 give you the stillness to discover the magic in your life right now. Saturn enters Sagittarius today! Yea! Can I hear a global sigh of relief. It will transit until June 14th, 2015,(Where it will go retrograde into Scorpio. So don’t say I didn’t warn you.) and then from September 17, 2015 to December 20, 2017. Saturn in Sagittarius asks us to take on the responsibility of living according to our personal truths and principles, and to be loyal to these. This is a time for turning a critical eye to those beliefs and principles that don't accurately reflect our authentic selves. We'll begin to see clearly where excessive or irresponsible behavior has cost us time, energy, and happiness. This is a time for making clear choices and decisions, for weeding out what isn't working and for letting go of lost causes. Sagittarius can be a little "messy" in its pursuit of new knowledge and experiences, and Saturn wants to clean this up. If we've become too moralistic, we may be challenged to walk the talk and practice what we preach. The Moon is in Capricorn most of the day, until 9:53 PM EST, when it enters Aquarius.

Two Ways to Happiness

There are two ways to create happiness. The first is external. By obtaining better shelter, better clothes, and better friends we can create a certain measure of happiness and satisfaction. The second is through mental development, which yields inner happiness. However, these two approaches are not equally viable. External happiness cannot last long without its counterpart. If something is lacking in your perspective - if something is missing in your heart - then despite the most the most luxurious surroundings, you cannot be happy. However, if you have peace of mind, you can find happiness even under the most difficult circumstances.

Material advancement alone sometimes solves one problem but creates another. For example, certain people may have acquired wealth, a good education, and a high social standing, yet happiness eludes them. They take sleeping pills and drink too much alcohol. Something is missing, something still not satisfied, so these people take refuge in drugs or in a bottle. On the other hand, some people who have less money to worry about enjoy more peace. They sleep well at night. Despite being poor in a material sense, they are content and happy. This shows the impact of a good mental attitude. Material development alone will not fully resolve the problem of humanity’s suffering.

Over and over again, it all comes back to attitude, faith in yourself, and a deep knowing that everything in your life has a meaning and purpose, even if you do not like it. In my life, there have been so many moments when someone told me that I could not do one thing or another. I learned at a young age that no one really knows what you are capable of except you. You cannot wait for open invitations to dance into your life. You have to choose to step on to that floor and make your own rhythm and if need be, your own music. Throughout my life, I have noticed that it was another’s fear about his or her own ability to leap into the unknown that was projected onto another. My decision was to not believe people words, especially if what you want to accomplish is not what they have managed to do. If you feel a projection of their fear and that fear is stronger than their faith, then it is always better to believe in yourself and your own dreams. You may not accomplish what you originally thought you were going for but this is how the universe shapes and molds you into the appropriate form that is your unique expression.

Numerology/Astrology for 12/22/14

On Monday we are in the number 14/5. The number 5 to me is a magical feminine number. It is the pentagram and a 5 pointed star, which is the symbol for all the earthly magic that is out there. The number 5 forces you to look at the earth, your reality, and what is. Life is always trying to teach you everything that you need to survive. Life shows you that you have to surrender to the greater force outside your narrow mindset. Learning how to do that from a place of freedom, choice, acceptance of change, and adapting is what the number 5 is all about. Life calls out to us and invites us into the dance of nature. It gives us the opportunity to re-discover our imagination and lets us invent things that give us potential resources that we can utilize at a later date. Look at how the imagination of the science fiction writers have inspired inventions and made possibilities into reality. Today let yourself be a bit playful and irresponsible. Let yourself out of your confining reality for a moment and shift out of stagnation and into your unconventional curiosity. There is no need to worry because the groundedness and fortitude of Capricorn is going to make sure you do not get too out there, so enjoy the freedom of the flight of your own imagination. Families are gathering and let yourself play with the childlike innocence of your youthful self. Playing with children is always a joy and a spontaneous invite into the expansive mindset of possibility. We are in an emotional time of the year so be sensitive to others needs and feelings. As the Sun is traveling through Capricorn it will help us get in touch with our deep reflective, enterprising self. We are in a time of honoring the darkness within and calling out to the light within us to illuminate the next series of lessons that we are integrating. Winter is naturally the time of introspection which allows us to withdraw into our self and get to know what is really going on inside. The challenge in our modern society is that we have huge holidays right here and instead of reflecting we sometimes can get caught in the hustle and bustle of shopping and rushing around to get things done. Today, before the big holiday hits, take a moment for yourself. I personally am going to be at a Hot Springs to slow down and reflect on the upcoming New Year. Mercury is also going to move into Capricorn on Tuesday and so it is a great time to take stock of your situation, make some notes, and allow yourself to become aware of the starker side of your life. Life is not always pretty. There are hard facts that need to be faced. It is time to roll up your sleeves and dive into the real work at hand. Remember discipline precedes dominion. If you want to feel a sense of control over your life, if you want to step into your power, then it is usually necessary to follow a plan and take step-by-step action towards your goals. The lesson of Capricorn is that worthwhile things take effort.

Have you ever been around people or situations that are so exciting that you loose yourself in the process? Don’t worry; we have all fallen into this yummy trap. There are people and circumstances out there that are so enticing that we just want to believe in the presented illusion. We want to believe in another reality. In doing that we can sometimes learn how to co-create that reality and anchor some of that pattern into our life. That is the gift. But completely believing in an illusion at the expense of sanity is not healthy.  I love the stories and the movies that carry us away to another world and those worlds can be very addictive and fun. Learning how to integrate them into the real world of your life is what is essential to find balance. Don’t get me wrong, escapism is divine! But you cannot live a healthy and balanced life if you are constantly wanting to escape this reality. Besides there are things about this reality right now that are amazing if you would just look deeper into the magic that is right in front of you. Learning how to integrate the metaphorical truths of the great stories and movies into your life is wonderful. It makes your life into a living and breathing myth. Today, see your life as an unfolding drama of depth and diversity. See yourself as the willing and unwilling hero in the complex dance of success and failure. It is all perfect. You are magical right now without having to loose yourself in someone else’s story. See your story as the journey to awakened consciousness that you chose to experience. For your soul, this was super enticing and perfect. Discover the magic in your life right now. Anchor it in. Let the truth of your souls choice be perfectly wonderful and totally fulfilling right now.

Numerology/Astrology for 12/21/14 - And Personal Blog

I am putting this out a bit early because I am getting away with my honey to Harbin Hot Springs for the weekend. Yea! Nothing to do but sit in the healing waters and open to my infinite self. I will be sending all of you positive energy for being in my life and being a part of my tribe. Enjoy your weekend also.

Numerology/Astrology for 12/21/14
Today we are in the number 13/4. Not only do we step out of Sagittarius and into Capricorn this evening but the number 4 adds impetus to the endurance and application to the tasks at hand. Self-control in a balanced way allows a conscious shift into the grounded pragmatism of Capricorn and the energy becomes a “love-fest” between the numbers and the astrology. For a month now we have been working on having faith and belief in yourself and others but now there is an emerging conviction towards what you are passionate about. You are preparing for a renewal of sorts on many levels. The Solstice is looming and we are so ready to have a return of the light. It also reminds us that in the deepest darkness are the fertile seeds that we need to discover to germinate a rebirth of our instinctual knowledge. Early on, Venus sextiles Chiron, and there is great energy that can be used for healing, particularly in your heart. The Moon leaves Sagittarius and enters Capricorn also at 8:26 PM EST and within minutes, the New Moon occurs (8:36 PM EST). On all levels, this symbolizes a new beginning in the cardinal earth sign of Capricorn. It's a time during which you can focus on some of the constructive traits of the sign of the Goat (tenacious, resourceful, disciplined, wise, ambitious, prudent, constant) and consider how to positively incorporate these qualities into your life. It is time to work on developing maturity and common sense, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities, and nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. The force of the multifaceted Capricorn energy gives you the chance to create some serious order in your life. It's time to make some solid plans, and to set the stage for reaping the rewards from all of these new beginnings. One of Capricorn's "lessons" is acceptance of the concept that reasonable boundaries and rules actually do offer freedom--freedom from worry and chaos, for example. Setting goals for yourself allows you to focus on what really matters. Uranus turns direct today after months of retrograde motion. Uranus energy hangs heavy in the air, and "all things Uranus" become strong themes. As Uranus gains speed in the next few weeks, your urge to be seen and heard as unique becomes stronger. You will feel the need to take some chances or risks, to rebel, to listen to your own instincts, and to stir up some changes in your life. You are being re-awakened.

For far too long we have been seduced into walking a path that did not lead us to ourselves. For far too long we have said yes when we wanted to say no. And for far too long we have said no when we desperately wanted to say yes… When we don’t listen to our intuition, we abandon our souls. And we abandon our souls because we are afraid if we don’t, others will abandon us.

Quoting the movie, “The Matrix”: There's a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path. Learning how to know the difference between your ego mind voice and your intuition is essential for your continued growth in a smooth manner. So often we listen to our fear and our needs rather than listen to the deeper calling of our soul. At first this is difficult to know the difference. We think we are choosing what is right for us. But often as you go along, you recognize that you are choosing from the fear of lack or of needing validation. Needing to be accepted is also a big one. Wanting to belong often trumps your intuitive knowing. It is so complicated to unravel the diverse patterns that your ego will use to pull you into places of safety rather than growth. If you really awaken to the magnificence that you are you would naturally be brave and bolder. You would be willing to risk if that risk was about disarming your illusions and most cherished beliefs. It is not that you want to do things that hurt yourself. That is an absolute “No” but you want to conscious de-construct the false self and allow a more balanced, authentic person to emerge from the ashes of your ego. This process never ends because your ego is skilled at twisting things and pulling you back into limitation and fear. Its job is to keep you safe. Until your core is strong enough to be willing to burn off the karma that you are holding and walk into the fires of clarity it is wise to choose safety. The strength it takes to awaken is not for the faint of heart.

Predictions 2015 - The Meaning of Saturn in Sagittarius - January Intuitive Patterns

I want to start this year with a more inclusive reflection of the numerological and astrological aspects that I think are going to be of great importance as we move into 2015. So I apologize if this is a bit wordy and verbose but hopefully you will find it of value as you move forward into this amazing year of 2015

Numerologically, if you add the numbers of the year together you get the number 8. The number 8 is associated with Leo and the 8^th month of the year August. This gives warmth to the energy for 2015 and an adolescent enthusiasm that opens to infinite possibilities, as well as, the return of faith and belief in oneself to accomplish the tasks at hand. The number 8 can indicate a pattern of increased wealth and abundance. It can also indicate that emotions of grief and loss are flowing because of circumstances or the grieving process related to the process of letting things go that have outgrown their usefulness. You will find that many new opportunities will present in an 8 year though it may be the second half of the year before you can actually recognize them. This year favors financial moves and shifts related to work and career. All options that expand your ability to make money are heightened. You are being asked to rise up to a new wave of prosperity. The energy of the 8 is strengthened in the summer and as we get closer to the 8^th month of August.  It gives you an opportunity to gain a new sense of independence and to feel much more resourceful and efficient.

The Saturn going into Sagittarius December 23rd, 2014 helps this along. Saturn invokes a craving for the qualities of the sign it touches and with Sagittarius; it craves knowledge, wisdom, and qualities of life that generate meaning. The deeper question is to find the authenticity as well as the meaning and that is where Saturn gives groundedness and depth to the Sagittarius. Saturn likes to go slow and as the God of Time it can make things appear at times as if the forward motion stalls and it feels agonizing to figure out how to make it progress further. But Saturn takes time to make things have resilience and the ability to last a long time. Saturn wants to control and the negative side of this in Sagittarius is that you might want to control others with your beliefs and ideals. But don’t fall to the dark side of this force. This pattern will make people finally realize that there is no reward for imposing your beliefs on others and in some cases you will see punishment for that behavior, especially in the global arena. Ultimately we can only control ourself and even that is actually an illusion also.

With Saturn’s demand of structure and commitment you will not be able to do the more negative expressions of Sagittarius, such as excessiveness and irresponsibility. Saturn’s stern countenance will make you pay a big price for not being on top of things. Saturn teaches that fleeting moments of happiness at the expense of others or the bigger plan will not be tolerated.

Saturn will teach you to let go of the lost causes in your life. It will shine a clear light on the patterns that have outgrown their usefulness. The Sagittarius part of that equation is aiming to increase your understanding and awareness about your choices and how you have contributed to the dysfunction that is happening. It is time to get real. It is time to think in some new ways. Expect this to be messy at first but Saturn will force you to clean up all the crap you have been making in your life. By doing that you will gain a new confidence, you will create a new space to fill with something wonderful, and you will let go of things that have no basis in reality. You will discover that being positive gives you a wonderful feeling but if that positive energy is not based or grounded in a true and authentic reality then it is going to fall apart.

Saturn in Sagittarius demands that you find practical applications for your personal philosophies. Just remember to not get to Saturnian and become rigid in your thinking. There is a complete understanding that will unfold over 2 and ½ years that freedom is not about escaping responsibility – it is what you enjoy only after tending to your responsibilities. You are going to be asked to walk your talk and practice what you preach. But you will also have to tell yourself the truth about whether what you are walking is actually working for you or just giving you a temporary “feel good” moment.

As Sagittarius rules the hips and thighs it is a great time to get into a more physically healthy place. With Saturn there you will discover a newfound discipline that will help you keep your goals.

Sagittarius is traditionally outspoken but with Saturn there you may take more time to brainstorm with others before you form opinions. Sharing becomes a lovely theme to formulate these next levels of truth and help you feel confident in your directions and choices.

Since Sagittarius is about learning and knowledge, you might feel like you want to go back to school or learn some new things. Saturn loves credentials after all. But you might also re-evaluate what you are learning and decide if it is actually viable or not really what you want to do.

In addition we will have the last square between Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn. (Can I hear the communal sigh of relief?) Yes, this will help the energy flow and emotional disposition of many of us. It also finally marks an ending to this Grand Cardinal Cross that we have been bearing since the downturn of 2008. I believe that the heaviness will begin to lift in the summer and the economy will also begin to recover and hopefully by the end of the year we will all feel better and as if we have more money in our pocket. I think it will take until or through 2016 to feel fully recovered but I am eternally optimistic.

I am excited to see how this all unfolds. January feels lovely, powerful, and expansive in may aspects though you might feel that February has a bigger impact. So enjoy January. Feel into the positive shifts happening. Let the intensity and fear of 2014 go and let us move into the warmth and positive flow of 2015. We are finally on our way and things are going to move in the ways that you have hoped. It might be more the end of the year of 2015 when you solidly see and feel the full impact of everything you have been doing finally manifesting in a way that makes more sense, but all and all we are finally at the turn that everyone has been hoping for.

Let the wisdom of the Owl allow you to see the pathway through the darkness. Let the Turtle ground you and allow you to feel safe and at home. Balance and Justice is coming back into a tangible place that creates a stronger feeling of safety and you are finally seeing beyond the mirrors illusions and into the true reflections of who you really are.

Enjoy 2015!

Numerology/Astrology for 12/18/14

Today we are in the number 10. We are in a day of new beginnings and it will require all your intuition to stay one step consciously ahead of the intense energies of the solstice coming up on December 21st. All movements need to be carefully calculated and it is essential that you pay attention to the subtle messages being given to you as some major astrological shifts begin to happen. Uranus is getting ready to go forward and I know for myself there are intense electrical surges that can affect everything from cars to your emotional state. So be aware of the strain patterns in your life and attempt to stay grounded as your life is going to feel like it is in big transition. The Moon is in Scorpio all day, and you feel more attracted to the hidden elements of any situation. This can clash with your principles or your desire to keep things out in the open. You would rather feel extreme emotions than nothing at all with a Scorpio Moon, as mediocrity or the "middle road" is felt to be unsatisfying. Things that are taboo, secret, or suppressed will interest you, and good energy is with you so make the best use of what you do learn or perceive.

There is nothing like a person in your life with whom you can be completely honest and open. And that does not mean “dumping” on another, it means a deep sharing from your authentic heart, not from your ego or your patterns of dysfunction that drag others into your drama. Being highly accountable and responsible for your sharing is essential to being able to have long term relationships that stand the test of time.
