Astrological Weather February 2015 - Relax, Reflect, Renew February begins with both Mercury retrograde in Aquarius and the union of Venus and Neptune in Pisces. A pleasant note fills the first few days where rationality makes way to dreams and pleasure. It’s like an early Valentine’s Day. Mercury is retrograde until 12th February. It’s a right-brain period so a good time to reflect and review your vision for 2015, particularly any social, group or community projects. Once Mercury stations direct on 11th plans and projections can stabilise, allowing forward movement. The Full Moon on the 4th sees expansive Jupiter conjunct the Moon in Leo. This Moon is a mixed blessing. Optimism and confidence are high yet ideals are challenged by the need for reality. Keys to balance are found in taking a bigger picture perspective and staying true to your authentic calling. This month’s New Moon is at 0* Pisces on 19th, with six planets in this mystical sign. It’s the ocean of consciousness where dreams arise, where both paradox and confusion reign. This Moon’s ruler Neptune, also in Pisces, is challenged by Black Moon Lilith in Virgo and Saturn in Sagittarius, introducing an ongoing dilemma into our consciousness – making the vision real through living it in practical grounded ways. The Saturn/Neptune square will challenge the reality of all our good ideas & intentions in November 2015, June & September 2016. The learning themes arising include: ideals/reality, enthusiasm/disillusionment, when to go for it/when to let go, co-dependency/own authority and denial/ responsibility. Although not exact at this New Moon, Saturn/Neptune are close enough for these themes to be recognisable. The key element of this few years is building a bridge from vision into existence, fully claiming our role as creators on Earth. The big question for all of us is becoming apparent: what am I creating and is it real? Just after the New Moon the focus shifts from the element of water to fire, as action planet Mars and love planet Venus enter Aries on 20th. Fires of passion burn bright for a few days until squares to responsible Saturn on 23-26th call us to consider priorities and focus energies towards stability.

Make the most of February’s fairly gentle pace. As we accelerate into March’s eclipse season, Jupiter/Uranus trine and Uranus/Pluto square, dynamic change takes over. Over this month prepare the way through reflection on core values and clarity on what is true for you moving forward.

Oracle Card Reading for February from Medium Gemma Garbett
I hope that you are all having a wonderful start to the year. I have found that many people have been using January to clear the previous year and also to set their intentions and plans for the year ahead. I have decided to use the Ascended Masters Oracle Card deck by Doreen Virtue and I have split the reading into three parts. 1. Health and Healing I love this card as it is asking you to pay attention to your health and take any necessary steps to ensure that you are well and fit. This card does not just mean in the physical sense, to me it also means in the spiritual and emotional sense. If you are still not finished with the clearing that you have done in January the start of February is a key time to do this. The card depicts Hilarion who was a 4th Century healer and you can call upon him to help with the health of yourself or other and also to clear your energy. 2. Mother, Wife, Sister, Daughter I feel that this card is asking you to explore your relationships with those significant females in your life in the middle of the month. I feel that you may be asked to forgive them, reconnect or even explore your own feminine energy. This card shows glowing golden energy and I feel that even connecting through meditation to yourself and others will help you to answer those questions. I love the carefree, nurturing nature of Lady Nada in the card. If you are a mother I feel that you are being asked to rediscover yourself and also enjoy the relationships you have with your children. This card can also depict a pregnancy and the birth of new things, so pay attention to what is coming up for you in the next few weeks and act on any signs you are given. Lady Nada is an Ascended Master who is known for her work trying to balance the male and female energies within the world. Call upon her to help you within the relationships of males and females in your life and also to balance your own ying and yang. 3. Clear and Shield Your Energy I feel that this card is one of the most important in the whole deck. We all absorb the energies of others when we are not centered, grounded and protected. I feel that there may be a few situations coming up for you in the final week or so of the month that mean that you have to clear yourself. Try to be there for others, but not make their issues yours. To
PLEASE MENTION THIS DIRECTORY WHEN RESPONDING TO ANY OF OUR ADVERTS
stay grounded and protected visualize roots coming out of your feet and anchoring you to Mother Earth and visualize yourself in a bubble of light. You can also call upon El Morya and Archangel Michael to protect you. I like with this card how El Moya is holding a crystal staff, so you can also use crystals to help cleanse and protect you too. Good protectors are Jet, Black Tourmaline and Labradorite. El Morya was a member of the Royal family of Kashmir in the 1800’s. He can not only be called upon to help keep your healing high and protected, but also to assist with legal matters. I hope that you have a wonderful February, Love and blessings Gemma Gemma Garbett, Medium & Angel Tarot Reader Tel: 07807 437280

How Reflexology Works A gentle and non-intrusive way to health and healing It is believed that reflexology has been practiced in some shape or form for thousands of years. There is still some contention about how exactly it works. What is agreed, is that by stimulating reflex points on the feet, hands or face will send a stimulus to the brain via sensory and motor nerves towards the brain, which in turn sends a response to the corresponding organ in the body. Reflexology is not a cure for disease, it merely opens a door and invites the body to begin healing itself from disharmony or dis-ease, in some cases the transformation can be astonishing, with many reporting a lessening of symptoms during a course of treatments. Recent clinical trials have suggested that reflexology may provide supportive healthcare for people with depression, anxiety, digestive problems, fatigue, pain, diabetes, migraine, fertility problems and PMS. My own experience, is as a trainer and a therapist within an NHS cancer and palliative care setting. I can certainly vouch for the support the patients gave for their treatments. At this time it is all about dignity and wellbeing at a very delicate time of life. Through touch the patients could feel human again, valued, by showing reflex points on the hand to treat, or simple aftercare, they were empowered in a situation they had little control over. Many practitioners will choose to specialize, be it in children and babies, fertility, palliative care, digestive disorders or maternity to enable them to give their clients better support. The treatment itself is very gentle, usually pressing on the soles and tops of the feet in a specific order, yet with adaptations to techniques to address some specific health concerns, be they physical or emotional. Although it is a science, it is also an art in how the practitioner shapes the treatment to meet their client’s needs.

I believe that reflexology is all about change, about allowing your body respite from problems, giving yourself time to reflect and heal, whether on the conscious or a subconscious level, which often leads to small yet significant changes in how we live our lives.

Amazing Home Remedy For Treating Eye Bags Do you feel frustrated when you wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and still see those horrible bags under your eyes? This might just be the case, and what bothers you the most is that even after resting, you still have those bags under your eyes. It’s not just from a lack of sleep, however, that you could have bags under your eyes. They usually are signs of exhaustion, respiratory problems, heightened levels of caffeine consumption, or stress. But don’t worry! Today we are going to tell you how to eliminate them with a few very effective home treatments.
Place A Moist Towel On Your Eyes Every night before going to bed, leave a moist towel in the fridge. When you get up the following morning, place it over your forehead and eyes. You could also get a gel eye mask that acts in just the same fashion. These two home remedies are effective at helping reduce inflammation. You should let it set for 5 minutes. Tea Bags Over The Dark Circles Under Your Eyes Whenever you make tea, try to save the tea bags in the fridge. When they’re good and cold, and whenever you have enough time to let them set, leave them on your eyes for twenty minutes. During this time you should lay down for best results. After the twenty minutes have passed, rinse your eyes very well, as the tea could stain the skin a bit. The effect, however, that they will have on the circles under your eyes is fairly notorious, as they not only reduce inflammation, but they attenuate the dark circles as well. Apply Cucumber Slices When you finish the twenty minute tea treatment, you could also place one cucumber slice over each eye for 10 minutes. Cucumbers contain a lot of water and will help hydrate your skin, making it smooth. Coconut Oil Massage If you mix one tablespoon of coconut oil with one tablespoon of almond oil and then gently massage underneath your eyes, letting it set for twenty minutes, you will definitely notice that your bags under your eyes will quickly disappear. Rinse well with warm water after these twenty minutes are up. This is a very effective remedy.

And if they don’t disappear…! If, in spite of following these remedies, the bags under your eyes still do not go away, then this means that your body is screaming, asking that you give it more rest. That’s why we are going to give you a few additional recommendations to follow, so your eyes can free themselves from this terrible dark colour that surrounds them. The first step to take it to try to rest at least 7 to 8 hours a day. This is one of the best was to eliminate bags under your eyes. Also, try do use a daily moisturizing cream that is made especially for the area surrounding the eyes. These creams will make the skin in this area look very nice. Try not to drink or smoke, or drink too much caffeine, or eat foods high in fats. Do whatever you can to follow a healthy diet, with lots of fruits and vegetables, and exercise. Drink at least two litres of water a day. This is the best thing you can give not only your eyes (removing the bags), but also to your entire body.
What is the difference between a Psychic, Clairvoyant & Medium? So many people ask this question, here is our definition... A Psychic and/or Clairvoyant are more or less the same, they foresee the future and generally use tools as part of their readings e.g. cards, ribbons, runes, crystal ball and many others. Palm readers are also classed as psychics and/or clairvoyants. Anyone can train to be psychic as we all have the innate ability i.e. that sense of de-ja-vu, or you know when someone is going to tell you something or the phone is going to ring. A Medium connects with people and animals who have passed over, they bring through messages, guidance and evidence that your loved ones are safe and well. A Medium is also psychic/clairvoyant. Mediums work on a different vibration and are born with their gift, a person who has the gift can enhance it by ‘sitting in circle’ or attending a development course. In summary, generally psychics talk to people that are alive and mediums connect to people who have past on.
