Today’s Message:If It Doesn’t Flow, Let It Go
110: Today the Universe is reminding us that we control our own personal evolution. The key lies in utilizing our skills, talents, and our unique form of creativity. It’s time to focus on what’s important right now and set aside what you can’t control and things that dwell in the realm of fantasy. By focusing on the NOW will help you to open the doors that you need to move forward. If you need direction or guidance ask your, divine support team, for help. Remember that guidance comes in many forms, some of which will come from unexpected places. Take the information that you receive from your “sources” and sift through it. Pick out what is best for YOU and discard the rest. “If it doesn’t flow, let it go.” This will help you create a workable game plan that meshes nicely with what you want to accomplish in the new year.
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Uriel teaches us how to access our creative database. He reminds us that sometimes the best way to solve a problem is to use a non-conventional approach. He gives us essential information that we need when we need it. This assists us during the manifestation process by enhancing our problem-solving skills so that we can make the decisions that are best for our current situations.
The Ascended Master El Morya can help if you have trouble staying present and focused in the now. He teaches us the importance of putting aside what we cannot control so that we are free to think about other things. He reminds us that it is our faith that keeps us grounded so that we can embrace both the patience and the clear decision-making needed to make things happen.
The Egyptian Goddess Hathor helps us to find the answer to the question “How shall I live my life?” She tells us that every moment gives us opportunities for growth. ” Indecision can be the enemy whose goal is to keep you distracted and from hearing the voice of your heart. Remember that each moment gives you the opportunity to learn and grow. It is what you were made for!”
Today’s Sacred Stones include:
Agate. This humble stone is the perfect one for grounding and balancing our energies. It also helps by raising our consciousness to access our higher self and promoting the awareness and acceptance of who we are and where we want to go in life. It nurtures our spiritual growth and inner strength by helping us to make the most of our life experiences.
Beryl teaches us how to fulfill our true potential. It helps us to see both sides of a situation, opportunity, or problem and promotes strategic planning so that we can use it to our best advantage.
Turquoise helps us with creative problem solving and promotes both balance and intuition. It is aligned with the Throat Chakra and teaches us to speak up for ourselves and to speak our truth, which can be a valuable asset when working with gratitude and our ability to create. Turquoise helps to purify our energy and clears away negative energy. it aids our problem-solving skills and protects us against self-sabotaging thoughts and actions

Today’s Message:Service To Self
19: Helping ourselves and being of service. These two things are often connected because as we help ourselves we are also helping those closest to us. Being of service does not always mean offering time, and energy to the community or to the world. The truth is that before we can help others was must first be willing to help ourselves and that it is through our own actions that we find ourselves leading by example. This shows others that positive changes can be made. It provides inspiration to those who need it and that every day whether we are aware of it or not, we have the ability to make a difference in someone’s life. Today the angels are reminding us that they are here to help and are asking us to share our optimistic glow while projecting good vibes to those around you.
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Zadkiel teaches us that true compassion and healing lie in our ability to forgive ourselves and others. This is especially helpful when we endeavor to lead by example. It is through forgiveness that we gain insight into what assistance will be beneficial to ourselves and others.
The Ascended Master Mother Mary provides us with all forms of healing. She surrounds us with her gentle energy and helps to fill our hearts with love as she imparts feelings of peace and safety as she gently heals the dark, hidden places within while showing us the path that leads to compassion and forgiveness which are essential to healing ourselves and helping others. She helps to fill our hearts with peace and love and helps everyone regardless of path or religion.
The Chinese Goddess Kuan Yin, who embodies compassion and mercy says, “You are a beautiful soul and have so much to offer. I can guide you on the path of self-loveand help you to embrace the confidence you need to free your mind, heart, and spirit. Be gentle with yourself. Joy comes from embracing the simple things which will free the energy needed to assist the creation process and help others along the way.”
Today’s Sacred Stones include:
Chalcedony brings mind, body, spirit, and emotions into harmony by calming fear, anger, or self-doubt. It also promotes good feelings towards self and others.
Deep blue Lapis Lazuli helps to open the Third Eye Chakra (mind’s eye) and stimulates our personal power. It also harmonizes our energies on all levels as this balances and strengthens our knowledge of self. It also helps us to confront the truth of a situation and promotes acceptance of the lesson involved. It promotes clarity and helps us express our opinions in a positive manner and teaches us the value of being an active listener which can be important in the letting go process.
Morganite (aka Pink Beryl) to bring awareness to emotional needs or feelings that remain unfulfilled. It helps us to express them so that we can begin the healing process.

Today’s Message:No Shortcuts
18: A new year means new beginnings filled with new hopes and dreams. But new things can sit in the wings if you haven’t completed the necessary work needed to move forward. Today we are being remindedto take ALL the steps and avoid shortcuts. Creating, generating new blessings is the goal.

Free yourself and your energy to become the amazing creator that you are meant to be!
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Raguel sets us on the path to personal empowerment. He helps us to find our strength and promotes clarity when we feel conflicted about what to do next by providing a boost of energy and by bringing order to our thoughts. He empowers the underdog and also acts as a motivational coach when we feel down on ourselves and can help us to reach our full potential.
The Ascended Master Solomon helps us to take what we are given and make the most of it. He teaches us how to do things more efficiently as he guides us through difficult situations. Focus and efficiency help us in our quest for personal evolution and help create the necessary stepping stones we need to move ahead.

Celebrate these steps and appreciate every kindness shown as they are all part of a grand celebration!“

Black Banded Agate helps us start new things, embrace new beginnings and projects. It promotes the creativity needed to make things happen. The patterns in this stone invite inspiration and creative flow!
Citrine. This happy and sunny crystal draws abundance and brings our self-confidence forward. It promotes the optimistic mindset necessary to activate the manifestation process and nudges us into action. We can also use Citrine to help us sift through information and analyze situations so that we can move forward with positive intent. Citrine also helps us go with the flow and encourages us to explore all options so that we can make the best decisions for our journey.
Desert Rose (Selenite). These beautiful stone “flowers” help to increase our understanding of our own personal value in the universal plan. It dissolves outdated self-imposed programming and helps us to replace it with new ideas and self-perspective.

Creation “In creating, the only hard thing’s to begin; A grass-blade’s no easier to make than an oak.”
-James Russell Lowell
We are creative beings. Some people might argue that they’re not creative, saying that they don’t paint or write or cook. But creation is not just about art. We are creating our lives every single day. We create relationships, we create work, we create and invent and expand because that is our nature.

With a new year comes a new cycle that is pregnant with the possibility of a new life and a new direction. The energies of this month are paving the way for a new beginning in all areas of life and as such we can expect change and transformation to continue. Currently, the energies are expansive encouraging us to break free of old structures and the ways of thinking that keep us limited and confined.
Imbolc is a holiday with a variety of names, depending on which culture and location you’re looking at.

TIME TO STOP SEEKING?
“If there are so many seekers, why are there so few finders?” — Eckhart Tolle
Perhaps we’ve misunderstood the whole concept of a spiritual journey. The term ‘seeker’ means we are looking for something we believe we do not have now. It places all hope on the future because as a seeker, we haven’t yet found our salvation.
Tolle encourages us to experience the truth of who we are by being present right now. If we do that, we don’t have to seek anything. We already have everything and can relax and rejoice in the power of being.
“There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the present moment. A man’s whole life is a succession of moment after moment. If one fully understands the present moment, there will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue.” — Hagakure

Today’s Message:Seeing Things Differently
16: Today the Universe is asking us to take this month’s theme to heart and focus on the good things in our lives. This will help us to choose our direction for the new year. Remember that balance plays an important role as we navigate our paths. By learning to balance our material thoughts, worries, or fears with positive focus and faith we are able to see things in a new light. Our lives are made up of tiny miracles so if you are having trouble seeing them find a creative avenue to help change your perspective. Allow positive focus, confidence, and faith to be your guide today. Ask the Universe for help if needed and turn over all worries to the angels so that your energy is free to welcome new blessings!
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Raziel assists us in all forms of manifestation. This includes our ‘Tiny Miracles” which he helps bring forward into the light. He tells us that growth and freedom can be found when we let go of our limiting self-beliefs and fears which hold us back from achieving and creating the life we want. He says ” Expand your mind and you will manifest prosperity and abundance on all levels.”
The Himalayan Ascended Master Babaji helps us to achieve the personal and spiritual growth necessary for the letting go process. He assists us in detaching ourselves from both material things and things that no longer serve us. He teaches us that letting go is a form of simplifying your life. It frees your energy so that you can work on what’s important so that new blessings can be received.
The Mayan goddess Ixchel helps to get our creative juices flowing by breaking through the barriers we have erected that are blocking our progress. Call on her if you are starting something new. ” Clear your mind and allow the creative source to fill you. New things are waiting for you to embrace them!”
Today’s Sacred Stones include:
Aventurine teaches us how to give and receive gracefully. Both are necessary for healthy relationships with self and others and it allows the Universe to care for you. Aventurine also helps to dispel the anger and irritation that sometimes arise when we are stuck in the “what I lack” mind loop.
Pink Banded Agate. This stone is a member of the Botswana Agate family. It teaches us how to look at our lives and see the big picture, as it helps us to use our creative problem-solving skills through focus and attention to detail. Pink Banded Agate also helps us to feel good about ourselves and is said to help ease stress and anxiety.
Orbicular or Ocean Jasper helps to increase our sense of responsibility and promotes patience. It provides the strength we need to calmly deal with life’s challenges and soothes the emotional stress that can happen when we become impatient for results.

Inner Journey:
FEELING SAFE
“Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are — chaff and grain together — certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away….” — Dinah Craik
We cherish our best friends and our special communities because we feel safe to be vulnerable when we’re in their embrace. And yet I have discovered that as long as I identify with my self-image, with my ego, there’s no safety possible anywhere. When the ego is on watch, even a dear friend’s truth may trigger reactions like anxiety, self-criticism and fear.
The only true safety exists in living the truth of our soul, our essence.
“Open your body and your mind to the subtler levels of experience, letting go of your attempt to control, to be right, not worrying about appearances, not trying to be safe.” — Stephen Levine

I find that this salad is filling enough to be a main course, with a bit of bread or some rice cakes on the side. It will also work as an appetizer in a smaller serving.

Incense: Jasmine, Lavender, Sweet Pea Planets: Mercury and Chiron (though this is a moon of Pluto) Star Sign: Virgo Angel: Raphael Power Colors: Orange, Light Blue, Grey, Yellow and Violet Herbs & Plants: Fern, Lavender, Hazel, Cherry, Periwinkle Sacred Stones: Aventurine, Bloodstone, Hematite, Moss Agate and Sodalite Oil: (Mercury) Benzoin, Clary Sage, Eucalyptus, Lavender

Creation “I do not seek. I find.”
-Pablo Picasso
When we’ve got our eyes open and we’re wide awake we see that there is creativity all around us. And more importantly, we know that there is creativity within us. We can draw upon that creativity anytime we want to. We can use it to problem-solve, to brainstorm, to learn and to grow.

Daily Tarot:Death
Say goodbye to some old useless habit and welcome the chance to develop a new habit that will serve you better and take you further. The Death card is not so much the end of anything as it is the shutting off of some automatic pilot switch and getting you back out under your own power again. Be strong. You can more fully embrace this change in the near future.

Today’s Message:Our Personal Evolution
15: The New Year offers us the chance to make changes that will assist our personal evolution. We often see change as a scary thing however more often than not these changes are good things and are worthwhile if we can stick with it. Remember that Change = Growth, so try seeing these changes as seeds to be planted and cared for By perceiving changes in this way we find that we have more control and are more prepared when our ‘seeds of change” grow to maturity. Today the Universe is telling us that something in our life is about to change and new things are headed our way. These changes will be for the better so don’t let fear hold you back. Remember, the seeds of change that you plant along your path will help pave the way for success. Ask for Divine help if you need it and listen to your inner wisdom. You know what you need to do and this is about creating the life you want.
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Chamuel helps us in regards to relationships. This includes the one we have with ourselves and our own spiritual nature. He helps us to build a strong foundation from which we can create our personal evolution. Archangel Chamuel also helps us to find what is lost. If you feel like you have wandered off your path and are having trouble finding your way back he can help you get your bearings.
The Ascended Master Saint Germain helps us to persevere in our personal quests and provides us with courage and direction. He teaches us how to clear the way and free our minds from worry so that we can work on more important things and shows us the way to comfortably interact with people and situations that can help us achieve our goals
The Yoruban Goddess Oya embodies the winds of change. She tells us, ” Allow the winds of change to flow through your being. In their wake, they will leave new energy seeds for you to plant. Use these seeds to help you on your journey. Remember child, that change must be embraced, not ignored or simply put up with. Allow these changes to inspire and encourage you to transcend your self-imposed limitations.”
Today’s Sacred Stones include:
Agate. This humble stone is the perfect one for grounding and balancing our energies. It also helps by raising our consciousness to access our higher self and promoting the awareness and acceptance of who we are and where we want to go in life. It nurtures our spiritual growth and inner strength by helping us to make the most of our life experiences.
Cavansite. This stone helps to guide us through major life changes as well as helping us learn from our past experiences so that we don’t make the same mistakes/choices again. It also helps us to retain information that applies to spiritual growth. Cavansite helps to promote new ideas and can be used in conjunction with the Third Eye or brow chakra.
Mookite, a form of Jasper that comes in many creamy color combinations, promotes decision-making and versatility. These things are important when we are faced with new experiences and find ourselves faced with the need to take action. It encourages us to be flexible during times of change and helps us to embrace new experiences with an open sense of adventure.
Blessings for a magickal day! Cat

Inner Journey:
GETTING DOWN TO ESSENTIALS
“Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.” — Lin Yutang
Do you feel a desire to simplify your life?
If you say ‘yes,’ then set an intention to reduce the demands, stimuli, interruptions and busyness in your life. We each have the power to do this – we simply have to begin to say ‘no’ to those activities that don’t directly serve what we want for our lives.
Everyone of this planet deserves to have some free time to think, relax and have fun. If you long for this, begin now to clear your plate and allow a new level of experience to happen in your life. Take charge. Eliminate time wasters. Make some decisions about what matters to you.
“The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.” — Hans Hofmann

Creation “Musical comedies aren’t written, they are re-written.”
-Stephen Sondheim
Many creative endeavors take sweat. It’s a lot of work to get them to the point where we really feel that they are as good as they can be, the best that we can make them. The joy is in the process of creating. And when we feel we have reached completion, and created something that we can be proud of, the feeling is amazing.

Daily Tarot:The Lovers
If you’re hesitant to do something or to make a decision, that’s OK. What urgently needs to be done will be done, so don’t worry about it. There may simply be too many options and too many conflicting requests coming up all at the same time. Sometimes hesitation can be a sign of prudence and a refreshing change from impulsiveness.
