PUBLISHER’S LETTER

CONSCIOUS SEEDING S

pring is finally here! A few weeks ago, I planted my first garden, which I was inspired to do by our columnist Sue Odland, who writes our “Organic Gardening” column. It is a balcony garden with veggies and fruits. As a first-time gardener, I bought a few huge pots, some soil, and seeds of veggies and fruits that I love to eat. Do you know that fruits and veggies are the most vibrational foods on earth that you can eat, and raise your vibration thru eating them! After planting all of my seeds, I water them twice a day. As soon as I saw some small veggies and fruits coming up, I noticed that birds started coming and pulling out plants from my garden, and eating the roots of the plants. Then I had an idea; I put some fake snakes between my plants, and hung an owl around my balcony to stop the birds from eating my plants… I got this idea from one of Sue’s articles. The birds stopped eating my plants. Now my greens are two inches long, and I can’t wait to have my first salad with all the fruits and veggies that I planted!

KASIA SZUMAL PUBLISHER

Watching them growing, it occurred to me that those seeds are like our thoughts that we have every day. Sometimes they are good thoughts that make us feel so wonderful, and inspire us into action to better ourselves, and sometimes they are more negative thoughts that hurt us, or make us live in fear. I have good news for you! Those thoughts are not yours; they are collections of different people’s ideas of you, or they are collections of TV advertising that tell us what we should wear, drive, eat, or how to behave.

Thoughts create your reality that you are living. If you want to have a better life and fulfill your dreams, you need to start paying attention to your thought patterns. Your positive thought patterns encourage you to apply for your dream job, and start exercising regularly; or, on the other hand, they can be negative, and can discourage you from submitting the resume, or making a change that you want to do.

Going thru my own transformation, I found some tips that have helped me become the person I am now, and I want to share them with you: • Every day meditation (sitting meditation, or active meditation like walking, biking, or swimming).

• Gratitude, (say thank you for things that you are grateful for; for example, a good night’s sleep, the place that I live, friends that I’ve met, or have had for years, pets, health, etc.).

• Surround yourself with people that are positive, joyful, feel good to be around… find your “tribe”.

• Listen to uplifting music that makes you want to move your body and dance.

• Read inspiring literature.

I want you to step up and create your own garden, and plant seeds that you want to grow, and encourage others to do the same!

Enjoy our May issue!

The Best, Kasia Szumal

HOW TO FIND PEACE Journey to Wholeness Center Oak Lawn, IL March 26, 2017

Kimberly Davis (owner) and Kinda Davis (manager )

by Theresa Puskar “Hospitality is making your guests feel at home, even when you wish they were.”

— Unknown I had to laugh when I read the quote above. It defines true hospitality. I recently had an opportunity to visit the Journey to Wholeness Center in Oak Lawn, and deeply felt such hospitality. From the moment I entered this healing oasis until my final goodbye, I felt a powerful sense of connectedness. In fact, as I was leaving, the last words that the owner, Kimberly Davis uttered were, “Please come again. You are always welcomed!”

While one can view this statement as a trite farewell greeting, when Kimberly said it, she really meant it!

“We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.”

— Dalai Lama XIV The two events I attended were about gaining a greater sense of peace.

Noting my recent feelings of unrest, I felt drawn to them. I have recently experienced a growing anxiety within myself, and among many of my fellow community members regarding the polarity of our current politics. Frankly, I have been perplexed by the push-pull of my own emotions and subsequent actions in response to it all. While I don’t know what the answer is, I know that what I have been doing has not been working. I feel a growing sense of anger, anxiety and hopelessness, as I constantly listen to the radio throughout the day, and engage in 12

the Facebook battles that besiege my computer screen.

“Learning to distance yourself from the negativity is one of the greatest lessons to achieve inner peace.”

— Roy T. Bennett

Julia Knickerbocker & Theresa Puskar

For the past year, I have been making a very conscious attempt to distance myself from negativity. Attending these workshops was another successful step in that direction. The first was a free meditation session with Julia Knickerbocker. A seasoned Reiki practitioner, Julia was a master at setting and holding space. The meditative journey she guided us through was very profound. While I don’t remember the specifics, I recall experiencing something new. While I was conscious of the journey, I was also suspended in an altered state.

There was a sense of a “pink bubble” that surrounded me. I felt like I was in a parallel “other” place at the same

time Julia guided me. By the end of the meditation, I felt a wonderful sense of peace, contentment, and wellbeing.

“Each one of us has to find peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.” — Mahatma Gandhi The more I meditate, the clearer it becomes that inner peace is a choice I can make in each passing moment.

Along with Julia’s meditation, Kim Plesha offered us tangible “peace” tools in her workshop. She began by emphasizing the importance of creating boundaries. This concept is something with which I have struggled. We all know energy drainers.

While most of them are not conscious of their actions, they do so all the same.

Many spiritual seekers are empaths by nature, and as such, are energetic sponges. Thus, it is important to avoid absorbing the lower frequency energy of others. On the other hand, there is the theory that if you build a wall, the enemy will come. Thus, if I build a wall and focus my energy on fear of being drained, I may attract such individuals into my life. So, where does one draw the line?

“Never respond to an angry person with a fiery comeback, even if he deserves it… Don’t allow his anger to become your anger.”

– Bohdi Sanders

One of the things that Kim emphasized was that the current political upheaval is a catalyst for change. Last summer I

viewed a YouTube video by metaphysical teacher and speaker, Matt Kahn. He provided a very powerful and different perspective on the election. After viewing his talk, while meditating, I got an insight that was very powerful. If there is cancer in the body, but it is deep within and not seen, it can be difficult to detect, thus not easy to heal. When a cancer manifests as an adhesion on the surface of the body, it is visible, and because of this, it can be dealt with.

Perhaps the current unrest in America is a manifestation of what has been hidden, and is a catalyst towards higher consciousness and greater healing.

all to win. Didn’t say I won. Just stopped fighting.” — Joe Abercrombie Full clarity came to me in Kim’s final exercises. She suggested that we focus daily on strengthening our auras through the use of visualizations, sound healings, and Epsom salt baths. She often calls on the strength and support of Archangel Michael, and stated, “When you can’t hear, go to your heart and listen from within it.” In that moment, I realized that I often get caught in the ramblings of my brain. By integrating the suggestions, and following the guidance of my heart, I can continue to raise my energy while focusing on co-creating a more conscious world. As Eckhart Tolle so aptly shared, “Pleasure is always derived from something outside of you, whereas joy arises from within.” While life’s pleasures come and go, I opt for cultivating more joy in my life.

Theresa Puskar & Kim Plesha

“Nothing can disturb your peace of mind unless you allow it to.”

— Roy T Bennett

Another tool that Kim suggested was to shift from “doing” to “being”.

The premise being that focusing our energies more on being still, over getting anxious and angry, can better assist us in moving forward. This brought up another point of concern in my current political struggles; I note that when I constantly follow and engage in the media battles throughout the day, my energy becomes depleted, and I often feel discouraged and even hopeless. In response, I have changed my behavior. I listen to the news once a day, and I do not read or engage in the political bantering. At the same time, I think it is important that we take the action we are called to, so that we can be the change that we want to see.

WHAT IS CONSCIOUSNESS?

by Carolyn M. Greenleaf As you know, consciousness is the state of being awake or aware.

However, in this article, I would like to explore the nature of our changing consciousness. This subject is a driving force within each one of us that seeks to grow, evolve and expand in ways that can be confusing, and therefore frightening. I would like to ease your worry and reassure you; something extraordinary is happening – and you are part of it.

Conscious to Unconscious to Conscious Everyone shifts into different stages of consciousness. For instance, most people are fully conscious when they’re born. They feel a deep and expanded connection with life that is beyond their physical confines, yet their mind hasn’t organized what they know. Eventually, this sense of knowing seems to fade away as they assimilate with the way things are within their physical reality.

Their mind begins to form its neural nets (networks), or pathways of information according to what they’re absorb14

MAY 2017

ing from their physical world. When this physical world is not conscious of their expanded reality, they live in an incomplete, therefore unconscious state.

As these remembrances begin to ignite our awakening process, our ego’s sense of consciousness is in question. So now we ask…what is consciousness?

These pathways of understanding within the mind are usually laden with egoic programming. The ego is who we become within our physical reality when we are not conscious. This ego or exterior personality is formulated with the beliefs and experiences of our lives, and is not conscious of the deep and expanded connection we once felt. As we conform to an unconscious world, the ego self rules our lives with its limited knowledge.

My Experience and Understanding of Consciousness

Eventually, after we’ve had enough of our ego’s experience, something deep within ourselves begins to stir. This conscious part of us begins to wake after its long nap. Just as the sun begins to peer through our curtains and blinds every morning after its sojourn through the darkness, our conscious self is also beginning to shine through the cobwebs of our mind, and stir deep remembrances within our heart.

The course of my inward journey leads me to believe that consciousness is a state of awareness that grows and expands. This expansion occurs when we unite our consciousness with the wisdom our unconscious path provided. To be fully conscious is to be fully aware of both the spiritual realms (higher consciousness) of our existence, and the hidden, expanded Truth that is at the core of our physical experience. It is the realization that these two worlds, the conscious and unconscious are connected. As we seek to understand this connection, we expand our consciousness and our reality. This is a process of physically becoming our greater Truth. When we intentionally unite these worlds within ourselves, we grow in ways that enhance both our physical and spiritual realities.

The Process When I was a young child, I was in a state of expansive connection and knowing. I was able to feel and sometimes understand the unseen relationship between and within all aspects of life. I was in a natural state of communication through communion with the spiritual realms. I was continually embraced with unconditional love and complete acceptance within this force, this energy, this spirit, that was also within all things and experiences.

to my conscious Truths began to heal everything that led me away from them. This healing process formed a path that now unites my inner and outer experiences.

Waking Together Everyone’s experience is unique to their path, yet shares common threads. Therefore, we can help one another, as these threads are weaved within the journey of each seeker.

However, my physical reality did not support what I experienced. My need to be accepted by my family and peers caused me to distance myself from my expanded consciousness.

I invite you to continue along this journey of exploration into what is possible. We will look at the different facets of consciousness, the stages, and how we can fully utilize this powerful experience.

Then, as an adult, I craved the connection that I once knew. This drove me toward the divine embrace and expanded consciousness I experienced as a child. My inward journey

[FROM THE HEART]

WHEN SEEKERS BECOME FINDERS

by Alan Cohen Every morning after we walk our dogs, two of them chase each other around the living room coffee table. It’s quite entertaining to watch these exuberant spirits tease each other, bark, and run around in circles. The little one eggs the larger one on, and keeps slightly ahead of him in the chase. Then she stops short, and he catches up with her. The two stand there for a moment with a look on their faces like, “Now what do we do?” Then she runs in the opposite direction, and he takes off in hot pursuit.

16

than we find them. You may even be proud to proclaim yourself a spiritual seeker, yet have you ever thought about proclaiming yourself a spiritual finder? How would your world change if you started finding more than seeking?

Watching them, it occurred to me that their fun is in the chase.

Once the chase is over, the play is lost. Then, to keep the action alive, they must start the chase again. If this sounds familiar, it is.

We humans are in many ways like those frisky canines. We thrive on striving, searching, seeking, and yearning. When we do get what we want, we are satisfied for the moment, then we are on to the next chase, and the game goes on.

In the clever and entertaining film The Princess Bride, we meet Inigo Montoya, who is on a lifelong mission to avenge the death of his father, who was killed by an assassin many years ago. Inigo is constantly swirling his sword, practicing his revenge statement: “My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” Finally Inigo catches up with the assassin and does him in. Afterward his friend asks him, “Inigo, now that you have avenged your father’s death, what will you be doing?” Inigo stops in his tracks, a blank look overtakes his face, and he replies, “I have been in the revenge business for so long that I don’t know what I will do without it.”

Some of us have been chasing for so long and hard that we have developed identities as seekers. We look for things more

That is precisely the predicament which many of us find ourselves in. We’ve been in the seeking business for so

MAY 2017

long that we won’t know what to do if we found “it.” We’ve entertained thoughts of lack so consistently, that when abundance shows up we don’t know how to accept it. We’ve felt stuck so often that we’re uneasy with freedom when it’s offered. We’ve been searching for a partner so ardently that we don’t really believe one is out there, and if he or she showed up, we’d doubt that person is real.

Such a position calls us to reexamine, challenge, and grow beyond the old beliefs that have kept us small. Lack, pain, and loneliness are arrows pointing us to discover untrue thoughts about ourselves and life that keep us from having what we want. Rather than simply continuing behaviors that don’t work, we must be willing to see ourselves differently, and receive what we’ve kept at a distance. Put simply, we are being called to let life love us.

The quickest and easiest way to get your needs met right now is to shift your vision. Cultivate your ability to find love, beauty, health, success, peace, and abundance right where you stand. Don’t wait for conditions to change for you to have enough. Claim enough right here, and enough will expand unto surplus.

Many years ago, I was having dinner with the late Dr. Wayne Dyer, when the subject came around to money. Wayne nonchalantly said, “I have enough money. I don’t need any more.” Hearing that, I jealously thought, “Sure you do.

You make $20,000 for a lecture.” Then I realized a deeper teaching was being offered. Wayne had enough money, because he decided that what he had was enough. You and I know people who have a lot more money than Wayne Dyer, and they never have enough. They are always worrying about protecting their assets and getting more. We also know other people who have very little, and they are soaring in contentment and joy. So, it turns out that finding is less about getting, and more about knowing.

A friend told me, “I used to think I was a perfectionist because I would find the tiniest flaws in everything I saw. Now I realize I am really an imperfectionist because I focus on imperfection. If I were a perfectionist I would find perfection everywhere I look, not imperfection.”

This month I invite you to become a true perfectionist by finding perfection. Look for the beauty rather than the ugliness; love rather than alienation; the whole instead of the broken.

You may be amazed to find that what you’ve been looking for has been there all along. Perhaps a man named James Allen said it best: “Two men looked out through prison bars. One saw mud; the other, stars.”

Alan Cohen is the author of the inspirational book, Enough Already: The Power of Radical Contentment and others.

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE PRECISE MOMENT OF DEATH?

by Wanda Pratnicka, Ph.D. Most people never get to answer this question until they’re on the other side.

Psychologist and parapsychologist Wanda Pratnicka, Ph.D., author of the bestselling (in Poland) book Possessed

by Ghosts: Exorcisms in the 21st Century, shares with us her findings based on 45 years of research.

Not everybody realizes they have died. As in the movie The Sixth Sense where Bruce Willis’ character missed his own death, there are many souls who think they’re still alive. These people can be friends or relatives who have passed away. Many of these souls either don’t know they’re dead, or don’t believe they have died. It’s as if they’re living in a dream-like state.

At the moment of death, we have the choice to pass on over to the Light, although many people choose not to do so. They may be afraid of punishment for what they did during their lifetime, they may not believe in God, or they may be concerned for the wellbeing of living relatives so they don’t want to let go.

The moment of death might be compared to a train station. Anyone who thinks that they’re worthy of entering heaven gets a free ticket. Everyone else stays behind in the station concourse. The train departs, leaving a crowd of ghosts in the concourse who simply don’t know what to do with themselves. This is where the problems can begin. Quite often these people did not catch “the train” because of things they were regretful for, feeling guilty about, or fearing punishment of some kind. Many of these souls were also very attached to earthly matters so they didn’t want to leave their home, their business, or material possessions.

The soul may return to its home, its workplace, its cemetery, or to leisure activities it frequented; if it was an alcoholic then it may return to a bar where it can “drink.”

Such a soul can also attach itself to a living person. If one has a spirit attached, he/she can be suffering from anxiety, depression, deep emotional pain, low energy levels, a long-term physical symptom, a major illness, or psychological disorders. Spirits can be the cause of lack of harmony at home, problems in relationships, and unexplainable medical disorders that the doctors cannot diagnose with scientific tools. Spirit attachment is one of the most unknown, controversial, misunderstood, and disregarded form of energetic and spiritual illnesses. Most people who suffer due to spirit attachment believe that the things that have happened to them are unique, and resist talking about it, fearing they may be perceived as mentally ill.

It is possible that aggressive behavior is really the behavior of a spirit which is attached, whether it is an abusive spouse, mood swings, or alcohol-fueled rages.

There are stories of people who have no desire to act disrespectfully towards their family, let alone become abusive, and it is the spirit which is driving them to act that way. Most people don’t know that they have something (or someone) attached to them. Therefore, it is always worth it to check whether negative symptoms are caused by the presence of spirits. If there is a spirit problem, neither therapies nor drugs will be effective to treat what we are struggling with.

Wanda Pratnicka obtained her Ph.D. in Philosophy, an MA in Psychology, and a BA in Parapsychology. She is an international lecturer, and author of several books that have been translated into various languages. She has helped tens of thousands of people around the world who have suffered from mental disturbances and physical illnesses that were considered to be incurable. Wanda’s unique ability is that she is able to diagnose and remove spirits from people remotely.

[WISDOM OF THE ANGELS]

UNCONDITIONAL PET LOVE Healing the Planet Now

by Lori Daniel Falk Have you ever loved a pet? What a crazy question! If you’ve had one, you’ve loved one; it’s that simple. Their unconditional love captures your heart in a way nothing else can. It’s a love that has no beginning, and it shall have no end. As Lightworkers and empaths, we no doubt feel that love more deeply than others.

One of the reasons this love runs so deep is that pets of most Lightworkers are so much more than just pets. They are actually healers themselves, and they assist their owners in the healing 30

MAY 2017

work they’re doing on the planet. These pets are often referred to as “familiars.”

In these cases, not only do we live with our pets, we work with them too, and as such, they literally become our constant companions.

As of late it seems that throngs of Lightworkers have been losing their pets in droves. Recently when my own fur baby, Tallie Ann, was diagnosed with Lymphoma, I heard that there actually was a portal calling out to the “familiars” of Lightworkers. Not wanting to believe this, I started searching for information

to help me understand what this was all about. There wasn’t much available on the subject. Finally, during an animal communication session, I asked Tallie herself if she knew anything about this.

She said, “Yes, mommy, I do know all about that. I too feel a calling of other light beings in my group to come and join them on the other side. That makes me happy too. So, if I do die, and leave my dog body, I’m not scared, or worried.

I like to be wanted and liked. They keep calling me, and I keep telling them no, not now. I won’t be able to hold them off forever, but I can for awhile.” While I was

saddened to hear her response, at least now I knew it was true.

The question that continued to plague me was WHY? If we need these special pets, then how on earth are we supposed to carry on without them?

Would we be given other familiars to replace them? Or would our pets simply get new bodies, and return to us in a new and improved, healthier form? So, my research continued, and eventually I stumbled upon a channeling that disclosed why so many beautiful fourlegged pets have decided to make their transition into heaven at this time.

Apparently, these pets that are leaving belong to very special earth angels here on earth. Throughout their lives, they were given so much unconditional love that they now have another mission. Since they know that their owners will love them even after they’re gone, these pets are going to the “other side,” and bonding their love together with all the other familiars there, and their new mission is to send this love back to their owners in spades. This collective massive energy of love being sent to their owners will empower them to heal this planet in an even more powerful and impactful way.

The infusion of light and love was so enormous, I felt there wasn’t anything I couldn’t do!

God bless all of the animals upon this earth, as they are nothing but pure unconditional love, and are doing their part to raise the vibrational frequency of this planet. Let’s do our part too, and allow them to send us this blessing of love for us to share.

recent books, “What the World Needs to Know NOW: Wisdom of the Angels,” and “Angelic Rx’s for Manifesting: Adult Coloring Book” are available at wisdomoftheangels.com.

As Vishen Lakhiani, Founder of Mindvalley says, “Just remember that a single act can cause a ripple. A ripple can create a movement. And a movement has the potential to change the course of history.” Let’s join with those beloved pets of ours on the other side of the veil, as we continue our mission to help push humanity forward in the most positive of ways.

Lori Daniel Falk is an Epigenetic Healing Artist, author, and Spiritual Life Coach who has been gifted with an artistic healing modality that enables her to communicate with, and share, the wisdom of the angels in both pictures and words. Her Angelic Message Portraits™ are not just images of beauty, they are epigenetic tools designed to heal at a deep emotional level. Her

If you’ve lost a pet recently, you’re no doubt a part of this special group, and are being asked to participate in a daily ritual to bring this love forth. It is being recommended that each day when you awaken, you take a deep breath as you call out your pet’s name(s), and ask them to gather all of the other pets on the other side. Then, open your heart chakra and say out loud, “I am ready to receive this great collective of unconditional love.”

Hold onto your chakras when you do this, folks; I tried it the other night, and it was nothing short of miraculous. I called out to all three of my pets that are now flying with the angels on the other side, and I asked them to send me this love. As I sat back on the couch with my heart wide open, preparing for this energy to come to me, I felt this expansiveness occur, and this massive amount of love just flew in.

It quite literally took my breath away!

[ORGANIC GARDENING]

BACK TO BASICS

by Sue Odland Spring rains recede, while sunshine warms the earth, and the time has come to plant a garden. This affordable, enjoyable activity brings fresh, flavorful offerings directly from nature to table. Developing the basic skills needed to grow your own food will always be in style. This season, turn off the TV and computer screens, take the family outside, and connect to Mother Earth.

Here are some simple steps to create a successful, productive garden:

Step 1: Pick a space with 6-8 hours of full sun to encourage strong plant growth and 32

MAY 2017

development. It can be an in-ground backyard garden, a raised bed, patio containers, or a community shared garden. Measure the chosen space, and keep the dimensions in mind when purchasing your plants or seeds.

Step 2: Choose what you will use. Grow what you like to eat. Hone in on flavor favorites that you will enjoy growing, harvesting, and preparing. This can be a deliciously daunting task. From Brandywine tomatoes to Malabar spinach to Egyptian Walking Onions, the varieties are endless. Know your tastes and your space before you buy.

For greater success, choose starter plants, especially for warm weather vegetables like tomatoes and peppers.

If you’d like to grow from seed, try easy to grow vegetables, including beets, peas, beans, radishes, potatoes, and onions. Choose organic, non-GMO, heirloom varieties whenever possible for better flavor, and less chemical exposure; purchase plants and seeds at the local garden center, nursery, or online.

Step 3: Bring it all together. If using raised beds and patio containers, find a good organic soil mix at your local garden center or nursery, and fill your container

of choice. For different ideas on easy and inexpensive DIY raised beds, visit: yourhouseandgarden.com/15-cheapeasy-diy-raised-garden-beds.

For an in-ground garden, prepare the garden bed by loosening the soil and adding organic material like compost or dried leaves. Amending soil with organic matter will provide a strong foundation in which plants will grow and thrive.

To test if the garden is ready for planting, pick up a handful of soil and squeeze it in your hand. If it crumbles and falls apart easily, it is ready. If it forms a small muddy ball, the soil needs more time to warm up and dry out.

soak. Do not spray water on the top of the plant; instead aim the water towards the plant’s base to soak the roots.

Check the moisture level of your garden soil every few days.

Spend some time each week communing with your new garden.

Pick off bugs at first sight. Stake up fast growing veggie stalks and vines.

Research organic pest control practices online. Once fruits and vegetables are ripe, simply pick, rinse, prepare,

and serve. Remember to donate extra offerings to a local food pantry or church to help your neighbors in need.

Raising your own fruits and vegetables is rewarding, enjoyable, and nothing short of miraculous. Find a few moments this month to put down the remote, and pick up a garden tool for health and independence.

Sue Odland is a freelance writer and Midwestern gardener.

Raising your own “fruits and vegetables

is rewarding, enjoyable, and nothing short of miraculous.

”

If the chosen space is covered in grass, try this easy no-dig method. First, lay cardboard over the desired area. Then cover the cardboard with several inches of grass clippings, shredded leaves, bark or weed-free straw. This mulch will keep pesky weeds at bay and hold precious moisture in the ground, thus reducing the need to water so often when your garden is established. In a few weeks’ time, cut straight through the cardboard to reveal soil ready for planting. Use a small hand trowel to break through the mulch and cardboard to create designated planting spots.

Then add a few scoops of compost into each newly opened spot for plants or seeds.

Step 4: Place the plants or seeds in the soil.

Check labels or online for proper planting depth and spacing. Before placing plants in the ground, “tickle” their root system at the bottom of the plant to encourage the roots to stretch out after being so tightly wound in the plastic pots. After planting in the ground or container, give each plant a good CONSCIOUS COMMUNITY MAGAZINE.COM

COSMIC DAILY WEATHER May 2017

by Kaye Berjot

Overview This month kicks off with Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in retrograde motion with three of the four Cardinal signs feeling the urge to reassess. Make sure to check out which houses in your chart are impacted by Aries, Libra, and Capricorn. There’s no other way to describe this month other than exciting. You could find yourself pushing through barriers, crashing through boundaries, and kicking through the doors of your own status quo. The Full Moon on May 10th will have you letting go in order to transform, while the New Moon on May 25th will have you speaking new languages. All in all, this is probably the most exciting month of the year to date, because with Mercury direct, things are much clearer now. The overarching theme for this month is to trust your instincts. Be wise.

Stay calm. Find you.

Please see the end of the month for information about the Moon Void of Course (VoC).

Monday, May 1 Today you can feel confident about the changes that are occurring in your life. The encouragement that you are being provided with lets you know that you’ve placed a bet on the right horse. If your dreams seem to be coming true, it’s because you were diligent in your efforts and you’ve nurtured the right seeds. Be proud. Moon VoC 3:23 PM until 11:00 PM, enters Leo.

Tuesday, May 2 You are in communication mode today and you love it. Somehow you know exactly what to say in order to shine a spotlight on your most cherished endeavor. It might seem radical, yet there’s a certain amount of comfort in going after what it is you want. Don’t be shy. Toot your own horn.

Wednesday, May 3 The Moon and the Sun form a harsh angle today, because there’s a strong possibility that you’ll have to make a choice. The 34

choice is between staying the same, or making a change. It’s ok to reevaluate, especially when retrograde planets are involved. If you’re evaluating whether or not your goals are of lesser importance than others’ goals, remember that your goals are just as important. Moon VoC 11:36 PM until tomorrow.

Gemini to help them steer the boat. Mars knows that it’s now or never time. So make it now, because never is a really long time. Moon VoC 5:59 PM until midnight, enters Scorpio.

Thursday, May 4

The Moon opposes Mercury and Uranus today. Not only is change on the horizon, it’s here. You have transformed your situation, and as you look across the table you see all of the beauty that comes with transformation. It’s called growth in your ability to be the change that you seek. Bravo!

Overnight you learned something about yourself. Now that Mercury is direct, you know that when you change your perspective of your value, real magic can happen.

The spotlight is on you. It always has been, it’s just that now you acknowledge your power. Leverage that knowledge to make amazing things happen. Moon VoC 4:47 AM, enters Virgo.

Friday, May 5 There is a beautiful Kite in the sky where the Moon, the Sun, Neptune, and Pluto join forces. You are emotionally in tune with your thoughts and it feels good. It’s like you could have produced your own movie. Although there are many twists and turns, there’s a great deal of wishful thinking, which parlays into faith that there will be a positive outcome.

Saturday, May 6 Today feels a whole lot like yesterday. The Kite is still in the sky, and provides fuel for your next big leap. Keep that momentum going. Feel the excitement of your wildest dreams coming to fruition. Moon VoC 7:43 AM until 1:21 PM, enters Libra.

Sunday, May 7 As reality sets in, you realize that something will have to be put on hold, or reevaluated.

Although you’d like to be all things to all people, it’s not always possible. You hope that those in your entourage will continue to be supportive as you look to strike out on your own. This is what happens when the Moon meets up with a retrograde Jupiter, and squares retrograde Pluto.

Monday, May 8 As the Moon and Jupiter huddle up in Libra they have the energy of Mars in

Tuesday, May 9

Testimonials

Wednesday, May 10 It’s hard to let go of something that you’ve put so much energy into in order to pursue something else. With the Moon in Scorpio, that’s exactly what you must do.
