~Manifesting In The New Moon~

• 
  New Moon In Scorpio; November 16, 2009
  
  
  November 16, 2009 marks the New Moon in Scorpio. For those of you not aware of the energies of a New Moon, it's the perfect time to put intention behind drawing "new" things, attitudes or even people into your life.
  
  This particular New Moon is in Scorpio. The sign of deaths (endings), that open the path for re-birth (new) into our lives. If we choose to, we can seek deep soul healing now. This is the perfect opportunity for all of us to heal what is detrimental to our ability to move forward and be happy in life. However, we will need an open heart and a willingness to put forth the effort for the healing and change. This New Moon can be extremely effective for major transformation for all of us. Mind, Body and Soul.
  
  If there is something in your life that seems to be a constant struggle, now is the time to look deeply at the situation. What about the situation can YOU change within yourself? What in your life do you need to let go of in order to allow the new to unfold? What constant obstacles and road blocks do you keep finding yourself fighting with? These are just a few of the questions you should be taking the time to review and decide if you're ready to move forward from. This new moon is ideal for letting go, healing, purging and releasing.
  
  ~Light White Candles, Sage, use Incense and/or crystals to set your stage
  ~Write down what in life it is that needs released or healed. On another sheet of paper, write down what NEW you want to draw into your life now that you're releasing the old. Be VERY specific.
  ~Read aloud your list of the things in life that no longer serve you or block your from happiness
  ~Light the paper with the list of releasing items on fire and allow it to burn (making sure to use a fire safe plate)
  ~Take the ashes of your intention outside and let them blow away. As you do this envision the things you're releasing (old ways of being, bad habits, people) blowing away with the ashes.
  ~Read aloud now the list of the NEW you want to draw into your life. You then can light this paper on fire and release the ashes.
  ~Draw a healing bath with lavender (or whatever scent you like), and envision yourself being cleansed of what you were carrying.
  ~Try to allow any candles you used to burn themselves out. If that's not possible, make certain to always snuff your candles, do not blow them out.
  
  Always, ALWAYS remember that you should never use manifestation / intention / spell work to bend or change another persons FREE WILL.
  
  November 16th, 2009 is an excellent time to release and finally heal those things that no longer serve us. Perfect time to make room for all of the NEW and wonderful things heading our way in the New Year!!
  
  Happy Manifesting!
  
  Love,

~MERCURY RETROGRADE SEPTEMBER 2009~

~Mercury Retrograde~

Here we go again...

Ah yes, another Mercury Retrograde is about to begin. This Retrograde begins September 7, lasting through to September 29th, 2009. Mercury Retrograde is notorious for bringing the old saying of "If Something Can Go Wrong, It Will" to the forefront. During this phase the planet of Mercury which rules communication does what appears to begin to travel backwards. It really doesn't move backwards but the optical illusion is no less easier on how the slowing of this planet effects our everyday life.

Some things to consider during a Mercury Retrograde:

Avoid signing legal documents

Avoid closing big deals

Avoid large purchases

Backup your computer BEFORE the retrograde begins.

Avoid buying or making repairs to major electronics or appliances

Give yourself extra time for traveling

Avoid beginning "New" relationships

I like to say that anything of true significance that is started during a Mercury Retrograde has the tendency to "turn to dust" when the Retrograde ends. So consider this if you are in the midst of beginning a new relationship or even discussing making changes to one that you're in. One example would be to wait until after the Retrograde to reconnect or make any reconciliation in a relationship as the relationship can quickly end or fizzle after the Retrograde ends.

Mercury Retrograde however doesn't always have to appear to be a negative thing though. This is the perfect time to do anything that may need to be revamped or reworked. Organizing your home, following up on projects and catching up on paperwork are all ideal things to get moving on during this time.

This particular Retrograde is in Libra and Virgo. So this transit may have a stronger effect on those particular signs.

Inner Voice or Fear?

That subtle nagging that you can't escape, yes, you know what I'm talking about. That small feeling in the pit of your stomach that tells you that "something" isn't quite right. That same thing that after all truths have unfolded you say to yourself..."I JUST KNEW IT."

Unfortunately, we don't always find out about the truth until well after all of the lessons have been played out. After all of the pieces of the puzzle come together and you find yourself broken and bruised from being taken advantage of.

When you're in a relationship, romantic or otherwise, and there is something inside that tells you something just isn't right, or, you find that you have trust issues that keep playing over in your head. Often times you dismiss these things as your own paranoid issues. You continue to just dismiss the things that don't sit right with you because you're either worried it's YOU, or you don't want to face what's being plastered right in front of your face.

Let's say your other half is out of town for work. You contact them more then once with no luck. The later it gets, you sit by your phone waiting for it to do something...anything. Finally at 11:30 pm you get that much waited response in a text saying..sorry late dinner, I'm pooped call you in the morning. Ok, eyebrow raises and sirens are going off inside your head like a mad person. Then, after a few moments you say to yourself..hmmm, must have been a really important meeting to last so late. Denying it works for you. It settles those sick butterflies down and you're good again now that you've dismissed it as your own paranoid self esteem issues. Of course, in the meantime you beat yourself up emotionally and mentally that you shouldn't "worry" so much.

Another situation you may find yourself in is that you're in a romantic relationship and the other person tells you how much they love and adore you. How much they want to see you and they miss you so very much. All the while, they go days without calling or weeks without wanting or needing to see you. Once again, you wonder what is it that is wrong with you? Nothing. It's the other persons inability to speak their mind and let you know that they "just aren't that into you".

Now lets address those butterflies in the pit of your stomach. Chances are they are there for a reason. They aren't just random monarchs trying to find their way to the border. This feeling in the pit of your stomach is your inner voice trying to tell you something just isn't right about the situation. It's not going to be some loud booming voice saying..."THEY ARE LYING..WAKE UP". It's normally very subtle. Subtle enough that you can drown it out with your own reasoning to make yourself feel better. Those eery flutters, well it's the same feelings you get when you yourself deceive...so take note the next time that you're not being truthful or you fib of how it feels inside. I bet once you connect the two together, you'll understand exactly what I'm saying.

Sometimes, however, it is in fact your own paranoia. This is when you have to determine between your inner voice and your fears. That isn't always a very easy trick either. Your fears are often very strong and can send your mind into a frantic frenzy of "what if's". That's when you have to watch for the inconsistencies with the other person, or behavior that is out of the norm. When you have outside factors actually showing you and coupled with the inner ickies, you're more then likely being deceived. This is when you have to be truthful with yourself in seeing all of the signs that are being shown to you.

It's taken me a lot of years of real soul searching and learning how to quite my mind to tell the difference between my fears and my inner voice. And, even now, sometimes, my fears get the best of me. When I can't tell the difference, I will wait it out a while. Chances are that there will be outside validation that will either confirm or deny my feelings. More then likely, the person will trip up and be left scrambling to cover their tracks. When that happens it's helps you to distinguish the difference between your fears and your inner voice. At this point, it truly is time to face the truth and the facts being presented. Often times however, by the time this happens, it's too late and we've already been hurt and deceived.

The important thing to learn from any situation where you've been deceived is to become aware and watch for feelings and signs, and don't dismiss them. Remember, people are humans, they lie and fib. But you don't have to be the one on the other end being taken advantage of due to the other persons issues with being truthful.
