This Tuesday, May 15, marks a tide-turning astrological event as electrifying Uranus makes its once-per-decade sign switch, extinguishing the flames of Aries and trudging through earth-sign Taurus until 2026. When the side-spinning planet switches zodiac signs, it’s no small thing.

Elephant Journal: The Poetry of Retreat

Hello May! How are we almost halfway through the year already?
This is the speed of life. Even for those of us who are consciously choosing to live a slower and more mindful lifestyle, time sure does fly more and more quickly the older we get.
This is why I participate in retreats—they serve as a blessing and an opportunity for deep transformation. Getting away from the scenery and stresses of our everyday lives enables us to dive more deeply into spiritual practice and timeless life lessons; and it makes coming home all the more sweet.

EarthSky News: Find the Omega Centauri star cluster

Tonight – or any night in the coming weeks – let the sparkling blue-white star Spica act as your guide to the Omega Centauri globular star cluster. You can see this cluster with the unaided eye, if your sky is dark enough. Omega Centauri looks like a fairly faint (and possibly fuzzy) star. It’s a beautiful and very special star cluster. In any year, Spica can help you find it.

Patheos-Pagan: The Many Tales of Snow White

Inner Journey:

BRING SOUL INTO THE WORLD

“We live in a culture that is greatly biased against the imagination, because our culture is very materialistic, objective and literal. Our culture lacks soul, and doesn’t know it, although it experiences the consequences. When you don’t know what’s missing, then of course you don’t know what to bring in, even though you feel something is missing.

“We live in a world that needs more soul, more meaning. We, as conscious beings, have, as our primary responsibility, at this time in human history, the task of bringing soul into the world, or releasing soul into the world. We do this, first of all, in ourselves and in our own personal world; then we do it in our groups – including family; then we do it in our society through our work, relationships and presence there.”
— Andrew Schneider

A Note from the Universe

I think you’re amazing. I think your approach to life is dead-on. And I can’t think of anything you’ve ever done that I wouldn’t have done had I been in your shoes.

Still, beloved, I think we could have a little chat about visualizing more. Seeing the end result in all its glorious detail, bypassing the cursed hows, and feeling the emotions you expect to feel.

Hey, it’s my life too.

Tallyho,

Dreams

The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.” Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)

We can look at our dreams, and learn from them. And what we learn is more about ourselves! This is just another way that God speaks to us – it is just another opportunity for us to grow. And it’s all open to interpretation, just like life. What do we see, what do we feel, what do we experience? It is different for each of us – and isn’t that great?

Stumbling  Over Self Love: Cat’s Angel Message for May 15, 2018

Stumbling  Over Self Love: Cat’s Angel Message for May 15, 2018 

 May Theme: This month will bring change. While change sometimes feels scary, it is a necessary thing for our overall growth. Be willing to embrace it and allow it to happen naturally and get ready for better things.



Self-love for ever creeps out, like a snake, to sting anything which happens to stumble upon it. – George Byron




515: The Universe is reminding us today that we are a reflection of our thoughts and that we have the power to change our lives for the better. The energy that we present to the world is a powerful force. By staying positive and engaging in positive self talk  we can effectively create new opportunities and are able to enjoy the good things that the universe sends our way, it is also an expression of self love. (awesome!) However, if we surround ourselves with negativity then that’s exactly what the world will see (not so awesome.) And since we are working with changes this month it’s a great time to give your inner garden some extra “positive nutrients”. You are worthy of receiving all the blessings the Universe has to offer so don’t be stingy with your positive intent…… now go and create something awesome!




One of our helpers for today is Archangel Jophiel. As the angel of beauty Jophiel helps us to see and feel the beauty around us. She tells us that by allowing ourselves to really appreciate beauty we can manifest, create and attract more into our lives. Positive (beautiful) thinking leads to positive outcomes in all that you do. We can also call upon the Egyptian Goddess Isis. Isis reminds us to having patience with yourself is essential as we continue to grow and learn. She says “Be grateful for the baby steps that move you along your path, for they are milestones on your inward journey. Celebrate these steps and appreciate every kindness shown as they are all part of a grand celebration! Our Sacred Stones for today are: Larimar which provides mental clarity and helps us to navigate change and growth by going with the flow, It helps us to meet challenges with positive energy and intent. 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 as it encourages us to explore all options so that we can make the best decisions for our journey.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: May 15, 2018 “Every Great Success”

Happy Tuesday,


Today’s thought is pretty straight forward. My advice is “don’t give up because you CAN do this. You are capable of making great things happen. Remember there is no failure just temporary setbacks. If something doesn’t work step back and try looking at it from a different angle. There is always another way to Git-R-Done.

Elephant Journal: May 15th: Intense Make or Break Time with the Taurus New Moon


The moon is exalted when in Taurus, meaning the moon and Taurus adore one another, and the sensual affinity they share means they resonate with each other deeply and harmoniously. This causes lunar energy to feel intense during this period, making us feel highly intuitive and ultra sensitive.

MNN: 12 out-of-this-world observatories


There’s nothing like sprawling out on a blanket on a darkened field, somewhere far from the city, to view a celestial light show. Staring off into a star-filled sky is one of life’s simplest yet most profound pleasures, a humbling experience that reminds us of the staggering immensity of the universe we call home.


Sometimes, however, serious stargazers need to seek out the big guns. And for that, there are observatories, telescope-housing institutions dedicated to the exploration of celestial objects: the moon, the sun, the stars and planets far away

Inner Journey: 


PERSONAL POWER


“The deep root of failure in our lives is to think, ‘Oh how useless and powerless I am.’ It is essential to think strongly and forcefully, ‘I can do it,’ without boasting or fretting.”

— Dalai Lama


Angeles Arrien says that whether we are male or female, we need to develop three kinds of power. People who hold these three powers cannot be ignored.

1.Power of presence – Being really present in each moment

2.Power of communication – Speaking my truth

3.Power of position – Being willing to take a stand


“A man’s true state of power and riches is to be in himself.”

— Henry Ward Beecher


“We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces; we become the powerful force ourselves.”

— Leo Buscaglia

Dreams


“Within each one of us there is another whom we do not know. He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us from how we see ourselves. When, therefore, we find ourselves in a difficult situation, to which there is no solution, he can sometimes kindle a light that radically alters our attitude, the very attitude that led us into the difficult situation.” -Carl G. Jung (1875-1961)


This “another whom we do not know” is indeed our Higher Self, or God, or Spirit, or whatever we each may want to call that Divine energy within. Yet as we work on our spiritual growth, the point is to get to know this “another” and by doing so to understand that there really is no separation between us! We come to realize who we really are.

Beliefnet: 7 Things That Happen When You Take Responsibility For Your Life


Too many of us simply drift through our lives, allowing fate to take us where it may. But a life without commitment is a life wasted, and so it’s important to live on purpose, and to make intentional choices every single day.


This is how you build a life that is truly yours—you put it together, choice by choice.

Releasing The Emotional Charge: Cat’s Angel Message for May 14, 2018 


 May Theme: This month will bring change. While change sometimes feels scary, it is a necessary thing for our overall growth. Be willing to embrace it and allow it to happen naturally and get ready for better things.




Learn to become still. And to take your attention away from what you don’t want, and all the emotional charge around it, and place your attention on what you wish to experience. – Michael Beckwith




514: Grounding, clearing and centering is important to our emotional, mental and spiritual health. There are no rules on how often it should be done. But sometimes we need to perform this more often due to stress, major upheavals or changes. Since we are currently working with changes the Angels are telling us that now might be a good time. This 3 step process helps to keep us balanced and promotes peace and harmony within ourselves and with the Universe. Now that the weather is warmer I suggest “earthing”. Going barefoot in the garden or grass is a wonderful way get grounded and to connect with the energy of Mother Earth. Allow yourself to “root” into the earth and just release, feel the sun on your face and let healing begin!




Ascended Master El Morya can help if you have trouble with grounding yourself. He gently helps us in putting aside our worries and cares. Archangel Michael can remove all psychic hooks, lines and cords that have been attached to your energy field. By simply asking him to do this is frees up your energy and promotes balance and sense of great peace and the Celtic Goddess Nemetona who teaches us that nature is the best place to recharge, she says ” I am the spirit of the sacred grove. I invite you to worship in my temple and feel the heartbeat of nature. This communion can heal a weary and battered soul and replenish your spirit with hope and divine peace.”




Our Sacred Stones are Moss Agate which enhances and strengthens our connection to the earth and Amethyst which is associated with Michael. Amethyst is a powerful protective stone and it gets you connected with Archangel Michael. It will also calm and quiet internal chatter and “monkey mind”, which in turn enables us to relax and allow the grounding and balancing to take place.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Happy Monday,


Life goes on…….. that pretty much says it all. The challenge is in what you do with it. Personal growth come from allowing yourself to move on, learning the lessons that life hands us. Choice and perspective are the headliners here so learn from the past but don’t get stuck in it.

Clearing the Garden: Cat’s Angel Message for May 13, 2018 


 May Theme: This month will bring change. While change sometimes feels scary, it is a necessary thing for our overall growth. Be willing to embrace it and allow it to happen naturally and get ready for better things.




The weeds keep multiplying in our garden, which is our mind ruled by fear. Rip them out and call them by name. – Sylvia Browne




513: Today the Sacred Feminine Spirit  is asking each of us (regardless of gender) to embrace our sacred feminine energy.  This energy  helps us to embrace the compassion love that we store inside and to allows it to flow outward. This also helps us on an emotional level by encouraging us to nurture and tend to the new growth that we have uncovered during our “weed pulling” activities. With things changing for the better it more important than ever to spread positive energy and plant new thought seeds where you can. Take the initiative and help create the things you want. Use your natural talents and creativity to transform your life for the better.




Work with the feminine archetypes and goddesses today. Abundantia helps us to attract good fortune and abundance. Aine helps us learn how to increase our faith and find enjoyment in life.  Brigid offers protection and ignites our creative fire. Kali promotes courage, focus and helps us to meet the goals we have set. Maat provides clarification of issues that have caused us confusion and Saint Therese helps to soothe troubled emotions while leading us down the path of personal peace.




Our Sacred Stone for today is Rose Quartz,  and it’s always a great crystal to have on hand. This gentle stone soothes emotions and helps us find unconditional love for ourselves and for others. It strengthens our ability to provide empathy and helps us to find loving relationships. Rose Quartz pushes away negative energy and helps us to release buried emotions and emotional conditioning that no longer serves us. What a great day for an emotional bubble bath!

Opportunities For Learning and Growth: Cat’s Angel Message for May 12, 2018 


 May Theme: This month will bring change. While change sometimes feels scary, it is a necessary thing for our overall growth. Be willing to embrace it and allow it to happen naturally and get ready for better things.




The less I take the difficulties of my life as personal affront, and the more I use them as an opportunity to learn and grow… the easier I sleep at night. – Mary Anne Radmacher




512:  The work associated with change can be challenging to say the least. However, these changes that are taking place are for the best and the best FOR us. Today the universe is asking us to welcome these necessary  changes currently taking place. Transformations do take time but the benefits will definitely worth it as they help us to align with both life purpose and soul mission. The key is to embrace an optimistic attitude which helps build trust and faith. This is the groundwork on which all new things start and the basis for personal fulfilment and happiness.  Ask for help or guidance if you need it and remember that help comes in all forms and can arrive from any direction. Give yourself a BIG hug today, you deserve it!




Strength and courage is often needed to help us face  change and the Celtic Goddess Brigid helps us find the path of a loving warrior who holds on to their beliefs and meets challenges with an open and creative mind. Brigid tells us  “Hope and optimism shine like the sun and like the sun they hold powerful energy. This energy will help you find your way.” Archangel Michael helps us to find our courage and provides direction. He also works in tandem with Brigid,  and the Ascended Master Saint Germain helps us to find a cheerful and optimistic attitude and approach to working with the changes that life hands us..




Our Sacred Stones are Rose Quartz which when used with positive affirmative thinking will enhance that energy and help you remember your intentions. Sugilite can gently ease emotional turmoil as it dispels negative energy and promotes loving support and Sunstone brings personal empowerment and combats procrastination, it also helps to cut the ties of anything that no longer serves us.

A Bountiful Moment


First ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then proceed to improve on the worst. Dale Carnegie


Daily Thought:When adversity hits, and it will, develop a plan to move through it. This will help to maintain forward momentum vs. giving up and getting stuck, or becoming devastated and defeated. Think of what is the worst thing that can happen? Then think of all the ways you can to support yourself through the toughest time imaginable. There is always a way to make things better.


Daily Practice: Think of your biggest fears? Are they tangible or buried in your mind? What is holding you back from living your life to the fullest? Now develop a plan to move forward by creating support that will keep you from experiencing what you are afraid of.


Have a Great Day and Believe in Yourself!

Elephant Journal: Discover Your Bird Medicine & How It Can Change Your Life


Several days ago, I sat at my desk, contemplating the feelings I want to cultivate in my life.

As I was searching inward, I glanced up and saw a hawk soaring toward me directly outside my window. Its wings were outstretched, its movements confident and bold. That was exactly how I wanted to feel.

Whenever I am outside, or even just looking out the window, I like to read the signs in nature. I learned to do this in an experiential course on shamanism and spirituality that I took several years ago, where we learned how to connect more deeply with our spirit and communicate with the spirit world.

MNN: Why San Diego’s tides are glowing blue


Surfers, kayakers and beach-combers in San Diego, California, were greeted by a bizarre and beautiful sight: the ocean waters emitting a bright blue glow as the waves crashed and the tide came in.


The cause of this unusual phenomenon was a tiny organism called Lingulodinium polyedrum. This dinoflagellate (a type of algae) blooms every few years in the waters around San Diego, forming what is known as a red tide.

Inner Journey:


LIMITED PERSPECTIVES


“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”

— Friedrich Nietzsche


We never have enough information to enable us to fully understand the truth of the reality around us. And there is never only one correct perspective about anything.


Knowing this helps me let go of my tendency to label things as good or bad. I suffer least when I can accept reality just as it is. And I benefit most when I open my heart and mind in appreciation.


“If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgment of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgment now.”

— Marcus Aurelius

A Note from the Universe


Your invisible limiting beliefs are only invisible when you live within their limits – or when you keep on doing what you’ve always been doing.


Push yourself. Dare yourself to think bigger, to reach, and to behave as if a dream or two of yours has already manifested. Then you’ll see them pop out of the woodwork, as if painted florescent orange, loaded to the teeth with logic, imploring you to turn around and go back to safety!


Do something, do it today, something you wouldn’t normally do. Like maybe… take off early from work…

I saw this recipe on Pinterest and had to try it. I actually had all the ingredients. It’s super quick to make. It’s a lot easier than homemade ice cream. My kids can’t stop eating it! I love that there is no added sugar. It’s delicious!

Connection


“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.” -Thornton Wilder


A conscious heart: that’s something to strive for! I have heard it said that the longest distance is the distance between the head and the heart. Why is this? Why do we not trust our hearts? We “think” we know better, but do we? We feel alive, energized, and happy when we feel love and gratitude. Our treasures are all around us and within us. We have only to open up our hearts to it, to open up our awareness to it.

Beliefnet: The Healing Power of Yoga


Yoga is more than movement. It’s more than a mat or a set of stretches or a 90-minute activity to take the edge off the day. To Ally Hamilton, author of “Yoga’s Healing Power,” it is a way of life, and a path to healing. Yoga, which has more than 20 million American devotees, has definite physical benefits, helping people increase flexibility and relax their bodies. Yoga, as a system of thought, can also bring healing to the mind.

Words Which Are Clear: Cat’s Angel Message for May 11, 2018 


 May Theme: This month will bring change. While change sometimes feels scary, it is a necessary thing for our overall growth. Be willing to embrace it and allow it to happen naturally and get ready for better things.




The water in a vessel is sparkling; the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words which are clear; the great truth has great silence. – Rabindranath Tagore




511: We will continue today by working with messages and guidance that we receive. Remember that these messages can come from anywhere at any time, so staying in the present will benefit today as they are directly related to the personal growth and changes taking place.  If you feel your communication lines are blocked give yourself a creative project. Did you know that creative pursuits are not only a form of meditation that opens the line to divine communication it also promotes clarity? Activities like painting, dancing, gardening, or crafting of any kind will allow your mind to stay present yet relaxed. Not feeling creative? Try yoga. This also promotes clarity and focus as it relaxes the mind. Be open to all forms of guidance, even if it doesn’t seem relevant now store it away for future use.




Archangel Jophiel teaches us to slow down and appreciate the beauty around us. By taking time to simply breathe and absorb “beauty” it can help open our communication lines by lowering the barriers we have put up. These four ascended masters, Jesus, Moses, Babaji and Yogananda, all demonstrated the ability to clearly hear the Divine during their time (s) on earth. They can assist in removing the blocks so that you benefit from divine wisdom and teach you to trust in what you receive and the British Goddess Sulis of the healing waters, tells us “Look to the sacred waters for healing and comfort. Water has the power to cleanse not only your body but your spirit and energy field as well.. When our energy field is clear messages come to us more easily.”




There are several Sacred Stones that can help you access the lines of divine communication. Selenite promotes mental clarity and helps to open the direct line to better divine communication. Moldavite connects you directly to the Ascended Masters, while Angelite and Celestite connect you to the angels. To boost your creativity try Carnelian. This stone can also teach us how to trust in yourself and clarify our perceptions of what’s presented to us.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!
