Venus in Leo.

Venus entering Leo on June 5th/6th is a very important cosmic event. We all should take note of what happens, especially with matters of our heart and with our finances. This may may hold a clue as to what themes or issues each of us will be working with over the coming months.  As Venus travels through Leo, it will station retrograde on July 23rd. Venus only retrogrades every 18 months or so, making this a rare energy to work with.

Venus in Leo Square Jupiter in Taurus

Venus in Leo squares Jupiter in Taurus on June 11th/12th. This beautiful energy will blend the perfect amount of creativity with feeling a need to take action.  The creative projects and visions inside of us are craving to get out. Today is the day they find their passion, their own energy to progress and move forward.

Venus Retrograde starts on June 19/20 and is one of the biggest cosmic events of our year. As Venus slips into shadow phase, meaning she begins her retrograde journey, we will feel her bringing up our old wounds.  Ancient Mayan astrologers believed that when a planet stationed retrograde it was entering the Underworld, moving deeper into the subconscious and hidden realms of life.  Now is the time to begin to prepare for Venus’ underworld journey. We may not be able to make sense of why certain thoughts, memories, ideas and old wounds come forward. But, as all of these energies wrapped up in money, beauty, and relationships swirl about, remember to work towards healing.

Major revelations will occur in our relationships when we express how our desires and requirements have evolved and upgraded. Venus retrograde will conjunct Mercury on July 27, inspiring us to open up and speak from the heart.

Venus retrograde will form a connection with Neptune retrograde in Pisces on August 1st, exposing the price of having unachievable and unrealistic standards in love, romance, and money.

Venus retrograde will meet with the Sun on August 13, bringing major revelations about our desires. The Sun will illuminate the new ways in which we are bound to express ourselves creatively once Venus goes direct

August 23 to September 3, Venus retrograde will overlap with Mercury retrograde in Virgo. These days will bring changes to our immediate environment that will require adaptation. 

Venus retrograde will form a trine with Chiron retrograde in Aries September 1st, healing our hearts from past relationship wounds and trauma. Doing psychological or energetic work now can help us dissolve the patterns that inform our choices and actions within relationships.

Your Zodic Sign in a Relationship

For centuries, astrologers have looked to the stars to determine different elements in our lives—and that includes romantic connections. Sun signs who sit in direct opposition to each other on the zodiac wheel are referred to as polar opposites, meaning they couldn’t be more different—and therein lies the potential for dynamic compatibility.

Hear my heart that these are only one side of a multi-sided look at our zodiac signs and how we connect to each other.

Aries and Libra

Just like striking a match, sparks are bound to fly when fiery Aries and air sign Libra come together. When these two opposites are ready to find out about each other and appreciate their differences, they will always create an unstoppable couple.

Every sign has a planet whose energy influences its behavior. With independent Mars in charge of Aries and harmonious Venus ruling Libra, when they find balance with love and create a true environment to support and honor their differences, they also find the counterbalance of Love and War. Once they have found this balance, they will be a true powerhouse.

Taurus and Scorpio

Taurus, an earth sign ruled by Venus, is drawn to sharing ideas of Valuing Beauty. Meanwhile, Scorpio, a water sign ruled by transformational Pluto, craves passion and requires exploring what hides under their surface.

The contrast here is exactly what keeps these two together. Scorpio’s reality of pain and pleasure in every aspect of life is balanced by Taurus who is a loyal helper to embrace when life gets rough.  Taurus gives Scorpio permission to step out of the ocean and realize how nice it is to just dig your toes in the sand once in a while.  Together, this twosome creates a long life filled with luxury and grounded in a foundation of Love.

Cancer and Capricorn

The only sign to be ruled by the Moon, emotionally intuitive Cancer could seem like a more than unlikely match for logical, Saturn-led Capricorn.  Cancer’s constant flowing energy finds a perfect balance in Capricorn’s grounded wisdom. And only Capricorn could hold Cancer’s deep emotions.  Meanwhile, Capricorn loves Cancer’s vulnerability which only inspires them to care even more.

Leo and Aquarius

Sun-ruled and fiery, fearless Leo joins up with Uranus-ruled Aquarius. In this pairing, innovative and purpose-filled Aquarius loves changes with an added love for Earth in all her aspects.

What most people don’t know about Leos is that they get lonely being the only one on stage… and almost crave to share their energy with others.  Leo’s craving to share their energy empowers Aquarius’ love of change in many areas of their world.

Virgo and Pisces

Virgo is ruled by Mercury so loves talking about important issues to bring healing and comfort.  Pisces is ruled by Neptune, dreaming about how they would love to create their world healed.

Virgo is skilled in understanding the intimate relationship between the body and nature which enables her to apply Pisces divine energetic messages. In return, Pisces’ transcendent and spiritual nature enables him to intuitively sense how to hear a Virgo heart.  This couple hears, helps, and uplifts everyone (and everything) in their path.

Jupiter Retrograde  in Taurus

Jupiter’s retrograde phase lasts for about four months and occurs once a year. This optical phenomenon gives the impression from Earth that the planet is moving backward. Now, this phase has different consequences and an alteration of its external functions. In 2023, Jupiter will retrograde in Taurus from September 4 – December 31, so, without further ado, discover the impacts it’s set to have and how you can anticipate them!

As Jupiter retrogrades, it encourages us to rethink the paths we are following. It also urges us to take our time to analyze things in order to establish our correct balance. Once we find our correct balance, we find our motivation to choose our life path, followed by reflection of our past actions and then moving into our future.  By changing certain thought patterns, you will be better able to understand the placement of Jupiter on your own life path. This phase, which introduces doubt, can lead to a spiritual analysis. When Jupiter retrogrades, it opens the way to an inner journey and self-realization. Follow your movement, which you will find is led by your curiosity.  This time of reflection will also be supportive in the area of finances. Although during this transit your ability to manage money may be impaired, do not hesitate to seize your chance if it comes.

When Jupiter goes retrograde in Taurus, it helps us adopt a more practical approach toward our goals. Its fixed nature can zero in on course-correcting what seems to be wrong, making sure we attain those goals. This is the beautiful side of Taurus’ stubborn nature—when the Bull sets its mind on attaining something, it WILL make it happen!   Jupiter retrograde in Taurus is also incredibly useful to truly see our world how it really is. With this clearer view we may change what we value, what is real beauty, and how to love yourself.

Jupiter’s backward motion should inspire you to rethink your life choices and path while instilling a sense of balance. This time phase is marked by ideas that may bring doubts and can lead to a spiritual, or even religious analysis of what your beliefs are, and why?? Jupiter in retrograde is an advantageous time go inward on a journey of self-realization.  During this period, you will find the quality of curiosity and the desire to discover Jupiter.  During your reflection, you may even seize financial opportunities. Find this path by understanding what you value.  Although you may not have the ability to handle them yourself, don’t hesitate over taking advantage of opportunities that seem

 to just appear before you. 

• As Jupiter stations retrograde on September 4th, at almost the same time it will be forming a trine with the Virgo sun (exact on September 8), bringing high spirits, self-confidence, and good news to your material side.
• On September 16th, retrograde Jupiter will be making a square with Venus in Leo, which will be exposing ways in which we could have overindulged in any capacity during May or early June when Jupiter was direct. Take time to think back and ask yourself: Did I take too many risks? or Have I overindulged in any way?
• On October 28th, Jupiter will square off with Mars in Scorpio during our full moon lunar eclipse in Taurus. Some big and painful relationships or careers may end.
• On November 3rd, Jupiter will be opposed by our Scorpio sun, unleashing our desire to indulge in extravagant fun and material items. Keep an eye on your wallet!!!
• On December 7th, Jupiter receives a trine from Mercury in Capricorn as Mercury prepares to go retrograde. A big light bulb could be your answer to a problem that you have been working on for a while.
• At the same time as Jupiter stations direct on December 30th, Saturn in Pisces will be forming a sextile on December 31st, bringing in a major financial growth period!

March 2023 – Part 2

Luck is all around us….

Truly, Luck is all around us, all the time. Yet, I would say: are you calling Luck to you or are you pushing it away? And how do you know which one you are doing??

Well, that has so much to do with your words, thoughts and actions. With just a few adjustments you can go from repelling Luck to drawing it to you.

WORDS.  I was talking to my friend Char the other day and she said: “I am always so busy! When one thing gets off my calendar, 2 things jump on. I am always busy, busy, busy.” I called her on it, asking her why she would call in being so busy… just being more and more busy.

THOUGHTS.  In her own words, which only reflects her inner thoughts, no matter what she does, no matter how hard she works, she will always have more and more busy things to keep her from the life she would love to have.

ACTION.  Char is pure action. From the time she gets up in the morning, until she falls asleep at night, she is in motion. She schedules time to meditate, yet usually has to cancel her “Me Time” to work on something for her job or her family. Char is always over-scheduled, so why would she draw in more things to add to her already over-loaded schedule??

All of Char’s words, thoughts and actions are aligned; yet they are aligned for things she does not desire in her life. Now comes Char’s opportunity to change and upgrade her life. Once Char decides to change her ‘busy life’, she can start changing her belief that being busy will give her the life she truly desires.

Changing her thinking is just step one. Her words, thoughts and actions will keep trying to move her back into her old comfort zone of being busy all the time. Char will have to keep changing and upgrading her own mind.

Each step forward often comes with one or two steps back. This dance will go on until Char is finally done with going back into her old Busy Dance.

Char has many Busy Dance steps that are new to her, and I know she will have a true mixture of easier and harder days. Yet, I promised her that the changes will get easier and easier as she keeps making better choices. Know that the more Char keeps making better and better choices, things will get easier.

PLUTO in AQUARIUS 

Pluto first enters the fixed air sign of Aquarius March 23, 2023, which marks our long shifting out of Capricorn. First, he will retrograde several times back into Capricorn, then move directly into Aquarius. Finally, he will enter Aquarius for good November 19, 2024.

Pluto in Aquarius: Transformation of Ideals
Pluto in Aquarius will unfold a new era of transforming toxicity in the realm of politics, humanitarianism, social justice, science, technology, social media, and the internet. Additionally, this transit will affect our notion of freedom and free speech. We will experience a revolutionary energy surrounding our relationship to power and control.

While Pluto is in Aquarius, we take social structures and politics especially seriously, and we seek major reform in these areas. Unusual, intense or dramatic happenings are possible with friends and networks.

During this long-term cycle, we are likely to confront issues of control and power related to individuality, equality, friendships and group associations. We can be on a quest to distinguish ourselves for our progressiveness, scientific minds, ideals, humanitarianism or unique qualities. It’s also a time when we seek to change and overhaul society through science, inventions and the mind/ideas.

Mars in Cancer

Assertive Mars has an uphill battle ahead of him when he moves into the sensitive sign of Cancer. This warrior planet prefers to charge ahead, acting on instincts rather than weighing the consequences of its actions. Cancer is a Water sign concerned with emotional security and protection — not exactly a natural fit for aggressive Martian energy. So when impulsive Mars moves into the sign of Cancer, she douses his fiery flame, forcing him to slow down and move more carefully.

Mars represents our inner warrior. He’s assertive and action-oriented, helping rev us up so we can get from point A to point B. It may seem like we’re all doomed to stand still when Mars begins its tour through the sign of Cancer. But don’t be fooled! This transit still packs quite the punch! Mars in Cancer still has fight in it — it simply chooses to fight with deep sensitivity for what it’s most emotionally connected to.

When Mars is in Cancer
Mars’ trek through Cancer gives us the opportunity to blend the fiery planet’s initiative with Cancerian concerns for preservation. We’ll want to spend this time carefully building things that honor and acknowledge our connection to the past and to family values. Our urge to move forward during this time doesn’t cut us off from familiar patterns, but includes them, to make for a gentler and more comfortable step into the future.

It’s true that Mars is toned down when it moves through sensitive Cancer, but that doesn’t mean we won’t get anything done. If we learn how to work with the Mars-in-Cancer energy, a great deal can be accomplished. Digging into domestic tasks is one of the best ways to use this transit. Mars in Cancer is a great opportunity to get out your hammer and nails so you can start — or finish — a home improvement project.

You may also feel a greater need to fight for the rights of a family member or a domestic situation during this time. Even though Mars in Cancer prefers using its energy to nurture, it will ultimately do whatever it takes to defend what and whom it cares about. As a result, you may notice that an intensely protective instinct takes over your actions when Mars and Cancer sync up.

The problem with Mars’ transit though cautious Cancer is that rather than taking a direct approach to going after what we want, we take a more passive one. If we don’t feel emotionally connected to something, it’s unlikely we’ll take action. Unfortunately, the action we do take is usually ruled by the heart, and may be more reactive and oversensitive than purposeful.

New Moon in Aries & Spring Equinox

The March 21st, 2023 Equinox brings us a huge urge to bring balance into our life as we also strike a balance on our Earth as we honor equal hours of night and day.

The March Equinox also aligns with the start of Aries Season. As Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, it is considered the start of the astrological new year, and the start of a new adventure around the Sun.

Depending on where in the world you live, the March Equinox also brings the arrival of a new season. For those in the Northern Hemisphere, it represents the start of Spring. For those in the Southern Hemisphere, it represents the start of Autumn.

All of this combined makes the March Equinox a powerful day for aligning in harmony with our higher selves, focusing on renewal and creating balance.

Depending on what Mother Nature is doing around us, and where we are on our own personal trip around the Sun, we may feel called to blossom and sprout, or we may feel called to go within and retreat.

Embrace where you are and acknowledge that, just like the seasons change, so do your life circumstances. Under this March 2023 Equinox, anything is possible.

To embrace all of these energies, use the March Equinox to soak up the energies of balance. Use this energy to return to a zero-point state where you are steady, sure, and whole in who you are.

Use the March Equinox energies to bring balance into your routine through setting your intentions. Acknowledge where things are out of balance, and work to bring ease and harmony to those areas.

Spend time in nature soaking up the harmonizing rays of the energy grid and recognize that new opportunities are possible.

Set your intentions. Visualize what you require to draw them into yourself. Then keep your thoughts and ideas clear and stay open.

March 2023 – Part 1

Ancient Celtic Tree Signs

Ancient Celts sensed a powerful spiritual presence in specific trees and revered them. The Celts believed these sacred trees held special powers and that they were homes to fairies and spirits. They observed that people born within a particular time frame or season significant to certain trees developed specific qualities. The Celtic year has 13 lunar months which represents the moon’s cycles. Each of these lunar months was connected to a special Celtic tree, from which Celtic Tree Signs (a kind of Druid Zodiac) were created, based on the day you were born in each season. What is your tree sign?

Saturn in Pisces 2023-2024

Manifesting Dreams

One of the coming changes involves Saturn moving signs. Saturn changes signs once every 2-3 years. This year Saturn is leaving Aquarius, where it has been since 2020, and entering Pisces.

Saturn enters the mutable water sign of Pisces on March 7, 2023 at 5:34 am. It will not retrograde back into Aquarius. For some context of the kind of changes we will experience, let’s review Saturn’s recent tenancy in Aquarius.

Saturn has been in Aquarius since 2020. Saturn first entered Aquarius on March 21, 2020, retrograded back into Capricorn on July 1, 2020, and then re-entered Aquarius on December 17, 2020. Over the course of this time we experienced the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Saturn as Co-Ruler of Capricorn and Aquarius

Interestingly, Saturn is the co-ruler of both Capricorn and Aquarius. Although we consider Capricorn to be the more picture-perfect representation of Saturnian temperament, Aquarius is also about structure. However, Aquarian social structure gathers around pure ideals, whereas Capricornian social structure is more of a top-down construction.

Saturn Confused in Watery Pisces

In watery Pisces, Saturn is a bit lost. That’s because Saturn likes to build in a methodical, slow and steady way. He puts his head down and gets to work, understanding the basic law of nature — that with enough steady work, discipline, and persistence, his efforts will build into tangible success.

Pisces’ Neptunian immateriality is basically antithetical to Saturn’s earthy desire to build solid foundations. Saturn is related to Kronos, the Greek god of time, but time is elastic and subjective in Neptune’s realm. Neptune dreams and turns inward; Saturn sees itself in the context of the society and focuses outward.

Spirituality or Dissolution of Structure?

On one hand, we may see the materialization of our dreams. Saturn passing through Pisces can bring spiritual quests the requirement of an inner journey. We may find others on our inner journey of mixing religion, magic and mysticism, with a touch of wondering where you belong.

On the other hand, we will see a real dissolution of old foundational structures going into collapse mode, only to come out completely restructured. I also feel there will be a huge movement of accountability with our government and leaders. For example, following money trails that lead to bank accounts that should not be there. There will also be a huge movement to re-connect communities, families and humanity itself.

Saturn will be in Pisces until May 24, 2024, when he begins his 8-month-long transition into Aries. Saturn won’t be in Pisces again until 2052.

Pluto first enters the fixed air sign of Aquarius on March 23, 2023. This marks the beginning of his grueling 20-month-long transition out of Capricorn. First, he will retrograde several times back into Capricorn, then move directly into Aquarius. Finally, he will enter Aquarius for good on November 19, 2024.

Below are the dates of Pluto’s movement over the Capricorn-Aquarius cusp. These dates will likely be accompanied by significant transformative energy in the area of government, politics, social structures and human rights.

Pluto will take one step into the

vibes of Aquarius on March 23rd when

we will have some huge

energy shifts of working together to improve

ourselves, our community, & our world.

Collectively we will declare:

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Way back when . . .

Our country started with the American Revolution in 1776. Our forefathers had a huge desire to fight to the death so their children would be born in a country free from taxation without representation and free from having no voice to birth an idea that our leaders should hear. Issues that were precursors to the revolution included the The Massachusetts Government Act of 1774 and The Quartering Act of 1765. These were just two of a group of four Acts implemented by England which were collectively titled The Coercive Acts, but were known as The Intolerable Acts in the American colonies.

We will experience the same type of energy which was around during the American Revolution! Pluto, the Lord of the Underworld, sends us energy filled with transformation, death & rebirth, and the mighty power of evolution. Therefore, Pluto will be our most important transit of the year and will continue to change and transform the United States for the next 20 years!

Understand where Pluto’s energy was . . .

Pluto first entered Capricorn in 2008. Interestingly enough, his transition into Capricorn was marked by the most devastating financial crisis since the Great Depression. The following 16 years or so featured the serious dismantling of traditional power structures and revealed the widespread corruption of those in power over financial issues.

Over the last 15 years we have become all too aware of the corrupting nature of power. Quite literally, in Pluto’s realm of the taboo, we saw sex trafficking on a massive scale which involved many people in positions of power. We also saw a massive transformation of conventional standards and the dismantling of tradition.

Next to change . . .

Pluto in Aquarius will unfold a new era of transforming politics, humanitarianism, social justice, science, technology, social media and the internet. Additionally, this transit will affect our notion of freedom and free speech. We will experience a revolution surrounding our relationship with power and control.

Pluto’s transit through Capricorn revealed Capricorn’s shadow themes. Similarly, Pluto’s transit through Aquarius will highlight the dark side of Aquarius. For example: problems revolving around emotional detachment, rebellion and futurism may be on the horizon.

It is possible that artificial intelligence may continue to develop down a path reminiscent of the long-unheeded warnings of dystopian science fiction. Alternatively, we may experience a crisis in lack of tolerance for different kinds of people. After all, Aquarius is the sign of humanitarianism.

On a personal level, Pluto in Aquarius will activate a particular house in your natal chart, asking for a total transformation of that area of your life. Pluto transits are considered difficult because Pluto asks us to deal with the skeletons in our closets instead of brushing them under the carpet.

Pluto transits are a call for us to face the truth of our childhood, young adulthood, and past lives.

Family Time can be Nerve Wreaking

Most of the time our family, or the people who are closest to us, find it difficult to respect our boundaries. Even if your family is relatively normal, happy, & functional, there might still be a few members that routinely cross your barrier or treat you in a way that you don’t like.

When we are in this type of relationship dynamic, many people will play the people-pleaser to avoid difficulty. If there are members of your family that are cutting into your happiness, it’s time to set firm boundaries with them. Here are my suggestions for you.

1. Understand that your needs are important.

Often, people will avoid building boundaries because they crave a relationship with someone who is powerful in their family. At some point, we realize this relationship dynamic is hurting us. That is when we blame ourselves for not seeing their true colors. Then we try to set boundaries, and they do everything in their power to jump over them.

This is especially true of difficult family members. It is important to keep in mind that your needs are just as important as that person’s needs. A form of manipulation they may use is to make you feel as though you can’t set up boundaries because their needs are more important than yours.

2. Seek out people who value you.

Find family members who unconditionally love and respect you. Seek them out and ask them to help you set firm, healthy boundaries with those in the family that don’t seem to value you. If there are no members of your family who can assist you, find people from your “family circle”. Your friend group is a good place to start. You are bound to have at least one friend that can assist you in building the boundaries that you require.

3. Be firm, but kind.

Since you are not accustomed to setting boundaries, allow me to guide you as you start. When setting boundaries, you don’t have to be harsh, just firm. Don’t allow others to make you do, say, or act in a way that is uncomfortable to you. Be kind to those difficult family members, and your attitude of “kill them with kindness” leaves you blameless for any wrongdoing. If you show them anger or defensiveness it will only serve to rile them up, cause them to lash out at you, and blame you. Keeping your kindness flowing, will most likely lead to a calm exchange.

We have some intense astrology leading up to the second Eclipse Portal. Get ready for revelations, fast adjustments, and soul- evolutionary energy making some huge differences.  Mercury has been in post-shadow energy, which is still retrograde, since the 2nd. It’s starting to ease up a bit while forming an opposition to Jupiter. Then Mars in Gemini will form a square with Neptune in retrograde. This will fill us with ambiguity, uncertainty, and feeling like we are being pushed backward.

On October 22^nd, Saturn transitions into post-shadow energy, and Jupiter returns to Pisces after being in Aries since May. Pluto stations direct in Capricorn while approaching the end of its journey through the sign that began in 2008. When Pluto is stationary, it is imperative to evolve and alchemize outdated patterns both for the collective and for each individual.  The Aries Full Moon will be in conjunction with the asteroid Chiron (the Wounded Healer), offering us opportunities for intense emotional processing mixed with inner work.

By the end of October, we are entering eclipse season, a time of momentous acceleration of the collective and individuals. A partial Solar Eclipse in Scorpio on the South Node of the Moon will open new opportunities and could bring destined changes in our lives. Jupiter retrogrades back into Pisces shortly after, supporting our spiritual journey and our willingness to explore the higher meaning of what we are going through.  The energy shifts when Pluto invites us to take conscious action to align with truths that have been becoming clearer while in retrograde. Pluto stationing direct in Capricorn exposes what is false, corrupt, and decaying in the systems and structures we are relying upon, brutally bringing our attention to them and making us confront it head-on.  The Aries Moon opposes the Sun and Venus in Libra, bringing up tension in us to recognize our need to be free to follow our heart’s desires, to be nurtured, as well as be supported by our connections with others.  Chiron is in conjunction with the Aries Full Moon and is opposing the Sun and Venus. This will bring to our attention the wounds we haven’t entirely processed. Fears and doubts, mixed with insecurities surrounding our personal strength, leadership skills, and self-assertion capacity, may emerge. We are being encouraged to trust that we can be in relationships without abandoning ourselves, to trust that we can be ourselves and we can love others too.

Read more about it…..

October 23 is an intense day, and we will experience three hugely important energetic shifts. Both the Sun and Venus enter intense Scorpio, increasing the need to penetrate & gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, others, and human nature. Scorpio season brings conscious thoughts about birth and death. The Sun illuminates something we normally don’t see or want to see.  When Venus enters Sagittarius, we will be pushed into a deeper side of our relationships, bringing a new level of potential transformations, leading to healing that can only happen through a profound connection with another human being.

9.9 Portal Energy & Autumn Equinox

We have a powerful few weeks ahead of us as we continue to move towards the Autumn Equinox. The 9:9 Portal will bring with it some amazing energy along the way. The portal will open on September 09 and will be open for nine additional days. This will be a literal open stargate into different dimensions! The cosmic energies coming in can assist in bringing us back into alignment and connect us with waves of energy full of Creator Light Codes that can trigger our DNA to activate healing.  We each came with our own set of light codes, which have been continually making copies over and over again. The new ascension energies will activate new codes, which signal the completion of a cycle. This is an opportunity for a new beginning if we are willing to release old baggage that no longer serves us.

Once you begin to release, you can expect some resolution of issues you have been trying to work through. Any old karmic situations will resolve quickly when you accept the new Creator Light Codes and desire a balanced resolution.  Really listen to your body during this time and try not to overthink as we are about halfway thru Virgo Season. My suggestion is to get outside and connect with nature. We are now and will be, manifesting and healing for the rest of 2022.

Our 9:9 gateway is a portal of light that will transmit activational codes by streaming rays of light onto our beautiful planet. Waves of energy full of light codes will trigger our DNA to activate. We can choose to participate, so we benefit fully and completely consciously.

The Sun is in the sign of healthy habits, Virgo, as we are in nine days of power, allowing us to release old habits in favor of us now focusing on new and significantly healthier habits. Virgo offers each of us the guidance required to complete our tasks, release the past, and raise our light quotient.

Warrior Energy?

Most psychics believe that around 26,000 years ago, Goddess warriors ruled the Earth. Today, we are in a transition where the archetype of the Goddess, whether Soldier, Huntress or Searcher, Wise Woman, Shaman or Warrior, has come back to bring balance to the world. We are in a new age, and our roles, our destinies – cannot be ignored.

Our Inner Goddess won’t let us stay hidden, stay safe, or stay small.

The transition is being seen in the night sky, in the stars,

and energized by the planetary alignments. This has moved us

completely into the Age of Aquarius. It was pushed in by the Grand Conjunction and our higher level of enlightenment and consciousness. Together with all energies, we are able to manifest the destiny of a new Earth, with aligned, balanced, and harmonious energies for humanity.

Have you ever wondered why you are here? Right here,

right now? Or have you ever felt, from somewhere deep within the depths of your soul, that you were meant to do more?

Our destiny, our dharma & our karma has been rising up from within us. Now is the time to be united together as both ‘Goddess Warriors’ and ‘Creative Gods’ (men).

August’s Astrology Includes Uranus Retrograde & A Rare Taurus Conjunction

The cosmic events taking place NOW are set to bring liberating changes and exciting energy shifts to all. We’re still in the heart of Leo Season as we enter August, which always brings us an exciting cosmic confidence boost and gets us in touch with our star power. Leo’s red-hot fire vibes will be amplified once love planet Venus enters the Leo mix.

Once the sun enters Virgo on August 22, the vibe shifts, and we’ll be more likely to act from a place of groundedness and logic. We’ll be able to set some productive intentions a week later, during the new moon.

August is also set to be an especially liberating month, thanks to Uranus. Things kick off with this wildcard planet in a special alignment with both high-energy Mars and the North Node of destiny, which inspires us to take action toward our fate. An eccentric full moon in the Uranus-ruled sign of Aquarius mid-month activates our desire for personal freedom and rebelliousness. Toward the end of the month, we’ll usher in Uranus Retrograde. Additionally, Uranus will form strong aspects with every personal planet including the Sun, Mercury, and Venus.

A Special Triple Conjunction

July kicked off under a rare triple alignment between hot-headed Mars, unpredictable Uranus, and the fate-bending North Node, all of which are colliding in the earthy sign of Taurus. The conjunction between Uranus and the North Node was July 31, but Mars officially made its connection to the two celestial markers on August 1. With this cosmic mixture, there were flashes of insight, sudden shifts in goals, and motivation to take decisive action toward a unique destiny. On a personal level, we were prompted to make some unexpected and liberating moves. On a collective level, some fateful twists could be revealed in the future, especially when it comes to the themes we’ve been dealing with since Uranus has been in Taurus — including global finance shifts, supply chain issues, climate crises, and more.

Mercury’s Pre-Retrograde Shadow

On August 4, communication planet Mercury entered down-to-earth Virgo — one of its home-base signs. Mercury in Virgo helps us to get mentally organized and think more practically. Paired with Leo season’s confidence boost, it’s a perfect time to embrace clear and direct self-expression.

Skipping ahead to the last week of August, Mercury will switch signs once again, this time entering the balanced and diplomatic realm of Libra. This brings a perfect transit to highlight social graces and brings harmony to mental affairs. However, Mercury’s move this month also kicks off the pre-retrograde shadow period of the next Mercury Retrograde, which will begin in Libra on Sept. 9th, backspinning into Virgo. That said, take note of the conversations, logistical issues, agreements, and social dynamics that take place during the last third of August— as we’ll be revisiting these themes through September.

Lots Of Lavish Leo Energy

During the last week of Leo Season, we turn up the volume on our charisma, creativity, and confidence levels. Now is the time to prioritize authentic self-expression, stand tall in our power, be unafraid to be seen, and work unabashedly toward our goals. On August 11, the summer heatwave gets even steamier, as the romantic planet Venus joins the sun in Leo, amplifying the red-hot and vivacious vibes of the solar season. With Venus in Leo’s fire, expect to feel stronger about your romantic feelings and beauty preferences alike — public displays of affection, glamorous and glitzy outfits, and a bolder flirtation style are all on the horizon!

An Eccentric Full Moon In Aquarius

August delivers the final supermoon of 2022. The full moon in forward-thinking Aquarius peaked on August 11. It offered a refreshing break from Leo season’s heat and helped us step back and see our emotions and passions more objectively. The Aquarius energy of a full moon encourages one to embrace their uniqueness and be true to their feelings. This energy is still in effect, so don’t be afraid to rebel against the status quo and make moves toward a more authentic future.

Major Energy Shift For Mars

On August 20, passionate planet Mars is entering the social and quick-thinking sign of Gemini. With Mars in Gemini, expect to take a more action-oriented approach in communication and lean more toward multitasking than single-focused projects. Mental stimulation is super important now, as we’ll have an insatiable sense of curiosity and a thirst for truth.

his transit is a big exchange of energy, as Mars will be in Gemini for a very extended stay — through the rest of 2022 and into 2023. One reason for this much-prolonged visit is due to the approaching retrograde on October 30. Mars only retrogrades once every two years, so pay attention to changes, upgraded motivation, intensifying energy levels, and increased determination. Take note, that we all will be working on our inner Goddess Warrior or Creative God upgrading.

Welcoming Virgo Vibes

On August 22, the Sun leaves its home sign of Leo and enters the mutable earth territory of Virgo, kicking off Virgo Season. Virgo Season energizes us to get organized, clean up our vibes, and generally freshen up our actions as we move through the final month of summer. We will all be focused on finding the truth, both within ourselves and from others.

Uranus Retrograde Begins

The happy-changeable planet Uranus will shake things up come August 24, which kicks-off Uranus retrograde. While Uranus is known for its disruptive and rule-breaking energy, during an annual backspin, it will be easier than most retrograde cycles. Instead, now is the time to subtly process paradigm shifts and sudden changes that have taken place during the past year. Get in touch with any sparks of imagination.

We are officially in the middle of the retrograde season, as all five transpersonal outer planets will be back spinning. This indicates there is lots of micro and macro processing going on behind the scenes in our personal lives and in society at large.

Cleansing New Moon In Virgo

With the last new moon of summer hitting us, both sun and moon are aligning in earthy Virgo territory on August 27. It’s an auspicious time to set productive goals, build some determination, upgrade old habits to healthy new ones, and get focused on organization.

Our hearts and souls know the truth when we hear truthful words. As Goddess Warriors & Creator Gods, we must only allow truth to be taken in. When we allow anything less, we devalue ourselves. The stars, planets, and moon are asking us to bring balance to humanity.

As we travel our own paths during the last few months of 2022, we find empowerment in ourselves, speaking our truths, bringing together both Goddess Warrior and Creative God energies for Divine Balance, leading us into a new era together.

How to Achieve Your Goals

Your best way to achieve your goals is to get them in front of you daily, and the best way to do that is to create a Vision Board. Next, set an intention on what you want to achieve, create an action plan with target dates, and stay focused.

WHAT IS A VISION BOARD?

A vision board, also known as a dream board, is a collection of your ideas, photos, and mantras to help you reach your goals and dreams.

HOW DO YOU CREATE A VISION BOARD?

Need some inspiration? Here are a few ideas to help you get started.

• Start collecting images from a magazine or words and phrases that inspire you.
• Identify your goals, dreams, and what you would like to manifest in your life.
• Make a plan to hold yourself accountable. Share your vision board and goals with a buddy.
• Find a comfortable space without distractions so you can let your ideas flow.

Keep your vision board/dream board in a place where you will constantly be reminded of what you want to achieve this week, month, or year.

Let’s Get Started!

1. Get clear on your intention. Start by asking yourself what you want to invite/manifest into your life. It can be physical (perhaps your goal is to buy a house), a personality trait (positivity or motivation), etc.
2. Zero in on your images and objects. Once you’re clear on what you’d like to use your vision board for, you can hone in on some images and objects that represent your goals. These could be magazine clippings, photos—anything that resonates with you

Email Ruth if you would like to join in.

Traditional shamans believe that spirit animals or totems are revealed to guide and protect their charges throughout a journey. They offer influential insights into the subconscious mind and carry meaningful messages if you are willing to listen. Your spirit animal is meant to serve as a guide and bring attention to parts of your life that need acknowledgment and exploration.

Is Your Animal Guide Around You?

By becoming familiar with the archetypal traits and behaviors your spirit guide embodies, you’ll start to understand which signs you should look out for to know when it’s around you. When you invoke your spirit guide through meditation, mindfulness, or prayer, you can ask for it to show a sign. You can also set an intention for your dreams before bed to encourage your spirit guide to show itself to you and provide guidance.

Sometimes signs of your animal spirit guide may be subtle, presenting itself to you in more of a symbolic form, while other signs may be more blatant physical forms. Spending more time in natural environments will undoubtedly help you connect with your spirit guide. Disconnecting from technology and reconnecting with the Earth is necessary to establish this bond.

~~~~Gemini Season 2022

Gemini season began on May 20 and lasts thru June 20. The planet of communication is in retrograde in the sign of communication, which will complicate our communication! When Mercury is in Gemini, we are especially communicative, curious, and sociable. We tend to take more pleasure in gaining a superficial knowledge of many subjects

rather than dig deep into any one topic. During Gemini season, we are usually zippier with our comments and come-backs. You may notice everyone talking faster and having more truth-filled conversations.  Yet, be aware that you could share information, ideas, or thoughts you never would normally choose to share!

Gemini Season 2022 – Horoscope

As we welcome this incredible Pleiadean energy, and as the Sun settles into the constellation of Gemini, energy begins to shift from our lower chakras to the higher chakras. We move away from the grounded forces of Taurus season into the cerebral details that Gemini season brings.

Gemini is an air sign that supports communication and self-expression. As Gemini season unfolds, it becomes a powerful time to work on voicing our thoughts and feelings, sharing our stories, and becoming better listeners. Gemini energy is also highly social and it’s a great time to surround ourselves with like-minded souls with whom we can connect and socialize.

Connecting with others can enrich our lives and our souls, so make it a priority under the Gemini Sun to spend time with friends or take steps to create a new community in your life.

~~~~~~On deeper levels, Gemini also helps us build a bridge between our human selves and our soul selves. Represented by the twins, where one twin is immortal and the other mortal, Gemini reminds us that we are both human and a soul and that it is essential to nurture both these sides of who we are.

Sometimes our human side and our soul side work in tandem, but other times it can be challenging for our human side to understand what our soul side can genuinely do. If you have been struggling to accept life events or create a balance between either of these sides, you may find that Gemini Season brings the support and knowledge needed to get some harmony. As an air sign, Gemini energy always sends inspired ideas and lightbulb moments across the airwaves, so be sure your mind is clear and free of chatter so these inspirations are quickly received.

We will see a massive intensification of being social, and we will also see a few escalations played out towards anyone who has a different opinion from us.

Planetary Energies at Work

Gemini season 2022 will start with a BIG BOOM, thanks to a special Mercury conjoint with the Sun in an almost magical manifestation. If you have a wish in your heart, now’s the time to say it!! On May 24th, Mars enters action-oriented Aries, and Venus enters Taurus, giving us an extra power boost for the next 6 weeks!

The Gemini New Moon on May 30 will help close the eclipse portal we have been working with since the end of April. Energies should start to settle down, and we may begin feeling a little more stable, especially around any transformations.  Expect to have your inner student magnify or increase your desires to take in and exchange information. Gemini is a mutable sign that’s flexible, open-minded, and adaptable.

Gemini season forces us to soak up the remainder of spring and brace ourselves for the arrival of the summer solstice. The Sagittarius Super Full Moon on June 14 will also illuminate things for us, helping us come face to face with a deeper and higher truth.

Mercury in Retrograde  in Taurus & Gemini

Our second mercury retrograde of 2022 begins on May 10 in Gemini. As this one starts off, communication will be difficult. All the typical problems with transportation and technology are highly likely with Mercury in its home sign of Gemini. Mercury’s move back into Taurus on May 22 brings money and values into the picture. Before this, the messenger planet makes a sextile to Jupiter on May 19. This rather auspicious aspect brings some good energy to this retrograde. Ideas will be expansive, no obstacle or course of action is too grand. Although, the next couple of weeks should be a planning stage. Brash actions don’t typically pan out well during Mercury retrograde.

Mercury meets our Sun for its meeting

on May 21, at the critical zero degrees mark in Gemini.  This is a paramount time to examine our relationship with money and material things. The retrograde will pose a tough question for some: Do you value what you spend your money on? Frivolous spenders may be in for a rude awakening with this one. However, the retrograde presents the right opportunity to review budgets and could inspire some to spend in more thoughtful and sustainable ways. Over-attachment to money or material possessions will have to be dealt with.

Just a couple of days later, Mercury trines Pluto from May 24-27. Under this aspect, we’ll be connected to our self-worth. This can present a deep look at the root of self-doubt and sabotage, along with ways to release these behaviors in a light-hearted manner. A metamorphosis will take place on a fundamental level. The retrograde comes to an end on June 3, when Mercury squares Saturn and makes an enchanting aspect to Neptune. We may need to implement some more discipline while letting our imaginations run wild. Seek inspiration because ideas could become a reality, it just takes hard work and the fortitude to make it happen.

~~~Mercury Retrograde Effects:

The second Mercury retrograde for 2022 begins in air sign Gemini, and this is the last to impact Gemini for a few years. With Mercury being the natural ruler of Gemini, its retrograde in Gemini can be especially challenging for communication and expression. That has been the case for the last few years, and we may find we become aware of issues now that we need to work on quickly before moving on.  We can be extra busy, with plenty to do, which might make us scattered and lack focus. We’re just pulled in too many directions. Or, we may not have enough to do, and that makes us anxious and restless. Our mind goes wonky and we need more to occupy it. We need to find a middle ground between the two.  This can be a good time to pick back up an old idea or plan and put it to good use quickly, or to study something you’ve studied before and need a refresher with or want to go further with.  Mercury goes backward into Taurus on May 22nd, and this can make us feel stale and stuck. Energy slows way down, and we may be immovable. We can get stubborn, and this can get us even more stuck. We have to keep moving, even just a tiny bit.  We can get extra frustrated, and this can cause us to lash out at times. But that just gives us more trouble, so try to avoid that. Have a healthy outlet for frustrated energy before this retrograde even begins so you don’t have to worry about it.   This can be helpful energy for reconnecting with the moment and being more present in your life. Maybe things don’t need to be rushed right now, and taking time to just be can help with stress.  Jupiter also enters Aries on the same day the retrograde begins (almost 12 hours later), so there is a big change in energy. We may want to rush into something thanks to Jupiter in Aries, but we have to be smart and take care of old stuff first before we can move on.  The retrograde ends square (hard aspect) Saturn in Aquarius and sextile (beneficial aspect) Neptune in Pisces. This can show we’re feeling a little restricted, maybe overwhelmed thanks to Saturn, but can find getting rest, time alone, or taking care of spiritual needs helps uplift you thanks to Neptune. I’ve got my eye on the potential for a natural disaster at the end of this retrograde too, unfortunately.

Eclipse Season + Mercury Retrograde:

Eclipse season and Mercury retrograde have some overlap, with the Scorpio lunar eclipse occurring on May 16th. The end of Mercury retrograde is opposite the lunar eclipse point, so we may feel it strongly leading into June. Emotional energy can be quite intense, and we need to avoid letting it overtake us.

The Taurus solar eclipse occurs before Mercury retrograde starts, on April 30th, but with the retrograde ending in Taurus, the solar eclipse may show second chances. Solar eclipses are times for new beginnings, while Mercury retrograde has us looking back. Put them together, and we may want to try again.

Mercury Retrograde in Gemini & Taurus 2022 Aspects:

During the retrograde, Mercury will make 4 major aspects to the other transit (moving) planets. They are:

– Conjunct the Sun on May 21st, 2022 @ 0 degrees Gemini: This is the Inferior Conjunction, a positive point in the retrograde for starting something that can be a focus for the next 6-8 weeks; find where it falls in your chart, and that may be where you can start something

– Sextile Jupiter on May 19th, 2022 @ 1 degree Gemini/Aries: This can give great energy for opportunities and expansion, especially expanding in ways we have before or wanted to before. We can be more optimistic, and this can be good energy leading into the Inferior Conjunction.

– Sextile Mars on May 23rd @ 29 degrees Taurus/Pisces: This gives us some good energy and drives to make use of, and we can feel motivated to take action, especially with this aspect occurring at 29 degrees, the analytic degree. This is super high energy, and we’re ready to jump to action. We just need to make sure we’re not being impulsive.

– Trine Pluto on May 25th, 2022 @ 28 degrees Taurus/Capricorn: This helps give us some power and control, and is in effect pretty much the whole time Mercury is in Taurus. We can find solutions, do research, transform, and find renewed energy.

~~~~~~

Pluto in Retrograde 2022

Pluto asks, What skeletons are rattling in our closets? Where and when do we go “unconscious,” in our life? As the cosmic ruler of the underworld, Pluto’s impulse is to conceal. Projection is one of this planet’s favorite defense mechanisms; it was not me it was someone else as you point your finger at someone else.  Like the other outer planets, Pluto spends approximately five months of each year retrograde. During these times, we will often feel relief from Pluto’s assertive energy; remember during a planet’s retrogrades are times for introspection and in-depth seeking of new insights. Pluto has been Capricorn since 2008, so we have been reconciling issues of financial discrepancies, developing new monetary systems, and tussling with countries, and industries that are involved with environmental issues impact of industries on the environment and will continue until 2024.

Beginning on February 20, 2022, the United States will enter its historic Pluto return, as the cosmic alchemist makes homecoming at 27°33’ Capricorn for the first time since the country’s birth on July 4, 1776.  Thirteen months later, on March 23, 2023, Pluto will enter Aquarius for the first time since 1797, the year that George  Washington, who was born on  2/22,  made democratic history by upholding the central tenant of the new Constitution by transferring his presidency to John Adams, thus earning the adulation of many world leaders.  With Pluto’s homecoming, Capricorn is truly a decisive moment for the entire planet, not just the United States, as the world’s major powers grapple with the unleashing of revolutionary forces around the globe. Pluto’s looming presence has been exhuming buried truths for at least a decade.  With that heavy prediction tucked under our wing, we forged ahead, sensitive to the global tumult emerging from the rare Sun-Pluto-Saturn-Mercury conjunction of January 12, 2020, our Grand Conjunction.

Power of Two

In the ancient divination system of numerology, 22 is a master number. It adds up to four, a number that displays itself prominently in astrology and prophecy in both Eastern and Western practices. With 2/22/22 being a pivotal date and prophetic Neptune reaching 22° Pisces, it’s clear that these numbers hold a message for us. Yet, most are unsure of the entire message, like there are 22 Arcana in the Tarot, 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet, or the number of Revelation as a Biblical reference of 22.

Our most important question is before us now, how will we set our foundation for our USA 2.0? What will we choose to change? I personality have seen many changes that are possible for our USA in my dreams. I have seen destruction and rebirth.

How will we set the foundation for U.S.A 2.0 amid such symphonic forces? Since the moment before us demands our attention in so many strange and challenging ways, perhaps we are best served by learning from those bright stars that have preceded us as we peer into the vast amphora of the Aquarian future-time. Embracing uncertainty, complexity, and human diversity may ultimately liberate individuals and society.

~~~~~

Mercury in Retrograde

April through June 2022

As Mercury starts to slow down on April 26, the first part of retrograde is in the sign of Taurus, which will be very grounding and feel easy. Then BAM!! On May 10, just as Mercury moves into retrograde will also move into the sign of Gemini, causing chaotic issues with communication and considerable delays in transport and travel. Our communication gaps only seem to strengthen as many people try to improve or upgrade their communication, using other than face-to-face talk.

When your communication seems a bit will be ambiguous until you completely upgrade to face-to-face talk. Also, a few may hear from Exes or even old friends or family that you once chose to remove from your life.

With Mercury in its ruling planet of Gemini, energy will be at an all-time high with very intense emotional turmoil with people being too brutally honest. Then gossiping will be the peak with people from the past rising.

What to do during the retrograde in Gemini?

• Be patient and follow your regular routine.

• Maintain a healthy relationship with your partner

• Stay away from gossip.

• Use face-to-face or over-the-phone communications as much as possible.

Then transits to Taurus just as Mercury enters post-shadow on June 3. Now with Mercury in Taurus, energy slows way down, and you may feel like you’re also moving in slow motion, making you feel clumsy. Watch out for mood swings in you or others. To add a touch of crazy back, Uranus is also in Taurus, which will make for a few strange world events to pop out of nowhere.

Taurus rules the banking sector; therefore, there might be chaos in financial markets across our globe. Money matters will be slow, and your judgment regarding financial affairs will be shallow.

Important Dates to remember during the retrograde

Mercury transits Taurus from:

April 27, 2022, to April 29, 2022

May 24, 2022, to June 13, 2022

What to do during the retrograde in Taurus?

• Take your time to think things through before acting.

• Work on self-grooming.

• Do not overspend.

• Stay ready for sudden happenings.

New Moon Energy

Every month, Our Universe gives us a little gift wrapped up yet ready to use; most of the time, we may not even think twice about it, although it is potent and, when used correctly, can change your life.  Your gift is hidden in plain sight; it is visible wherever you live a few hours every day.   In astrogeology, our moon symbolizes your feelings, instincts, or unconscious thoughts or actions.  Our New Moon is just one of our moon’s many facets.  When our New Moon energy starts a new cycle, it also indicates a new beginning for everyone.

Our New Moon designates a new time to start working towards a new goal or aim for a new purpose.  Yet, an interesting observation is most people are unconsciously connected with Moon energy, tending to create new habits, start new projects and initiate life changes around the same time as the new moon.  Which truly demonstrates our human connection deep within our soul, which also connects us to our Galaxy.   So, this goes doubly important when our new year starts with a New Moon.  Our New year mixed with our New Moon Energies is an excellent start to our new year with grand goals and ambitious beginnings.

Here is a list of things your try during a New Moon:

1. Set a Meaningful New Intention

Every month our moon delivers us an extra boost of intention-setting energy, then add our New Year Energy as well.  We only amplify our brand new starts with New Moon and New Year Energies.    Take some time to concisely craft intentions, plus bring a lot of clarity, as well.  Your use of words will make a significant difference in receiving your new start.

2. Light a Candle

Lighting a candle on the darkest night of the month signifies our desire to bring just more light into your life.   As you light your candle with huge intentions, purpose-driven, and a bold determination to ask your Universe to answer, you shine a light on yourself during this new moon and all the ones that follow it.

3. Speck your goals.

Once your candle is lit, speak your goals with confidence and excitement.  Feel your emotions mixed with your New Moon and New Year Energy to become a confident Creator in your World.

4. Begin Something New

Our  New moon is the most bountiful day of the lunar cycle each month.  So, start something else new like start a new class, begin to read a new book (preferably about your new purpose), or even step out of your comfort zone.

5. Make a List

Create a whole list of all the details you’d like your Universe to consider when bringing you your heart’s desire and generate a list for you to get to go on your side of all of this.  Get as detailed as possible.   Make it as detailed as you can.  Draw a picture of it (even if you are not an artist).  Allow your feelings to come forward to be reflected in your drawings.

6. Create a Sacred Space

Creating your own New Moon Sacred Space will assist you in focusing your energy on your goals and is the optimal time for setting a sacred space in your home to make your own magic.  Cleanse energy in your Sacred place where you’ll be meditation, manifesting, and self-reflecting.  I suggest using incense, images of people, and places that inspire you.

In time, when you enter that space, your body and mind will know it’s time to make magic.  After you’ve set it up, make sure you keep it clean and tidy to avoid bad vibes.

7. Make Your Own Ritual

If you’re thinking of salt circles around as protection, you can also add Lavender Buds and Holy water if you have them available.  Making your own ritual is simply a matter of creating a set of practices you commit to doing during every new moon.  Either simple or elaborate, which is totally about cleansing you and your space, then making your space and home.

~~~~ Things to release during a new moon

1.  I choose to Change

A new moon is about creation, so consider creating or upgrading old habits into new habits that support you as you grow.  Image moving your energy instead of stopping your energy and restarting again.

2.  Upgrade New People

New moons are excellent times to allow new people into your life.  Yet, keep in mind that you only desire to bring new people into your life that support your new you, then you can support them.  When you are around them, keep asking your energy, how do I feel in this person’s energy, listen to not only their words but the unspoken energy intergraded into their words.

3.  Make your choice for you

When you are invited to events during your New Moon, ask yourself if “this is where I require going, or do I require to choose something else instead.”

4.  Always remove Energy Vampires

Sometimes we are genuinely unable to avoid all Energy Vampires in our life, yet during a New Moon, they are on the hunt for amazing creative people to take their energy.  I suggest avoiding them as much as possible during your New Moon.  You require to harness all the positive and creative energy flowing around you; none of it should be sacrificed to an Energy Vampire.
