STRAIGHT TO THE POINT:

We begin the week with a forthright Aries Full Moon which encourages us to seize the day and take action. Later in the week, however, Mars and Pluto join forces to turn assertion into aggression, so guard against using too much force.

ARIES

The Aries Full Moon puts you in the spotlight, especially at work. However you may find your leadership skills tested to the max when you have a difficult decision to make. Be as brave and bold as you can be.

TAURUS

The Full Moon urges downtime this week, even if you have to cancel some plans in order to get some peace and quiet. You need space to reflect on recent events and to clear your head. Defend your privacy.

Take a leap of faith and try things differently. No, you have no evidence that a new approach will solve your problems, but the Full Moon is all about giving it a go. Drag yourself out of your rut and take action.

---

VIRGO

Acknowledge your debt to others during this Full Moon week - emotional or psychic debts as well as financial ones. You have been loved and supported, but now it's your turn to be someone else's rock.

LIBRA

The Full Moon shines from your love zone, illuminating where you and your partner need to negotiate or compromise. If you're single, there's a good chance of an interesting date this week - intriguing!

CAPRICORN

Focus on your family, as the Full Moon illuminates this area of your chart. It's an excellent week for supporting your spouse or cheering on your kids. Be fully present - switch off the gadgets and listen.

AQUARIUS

Take care of business this week by working through your to-do lists and sorting out mundane matters. It's not very exciting, sure, but the Full Moon helps you to clear your head of these small issues, making space for what's to come.

PISCES

Money matters make you feel emotional during this Full Moon week but try to see beyond the emotions and fears into what's really going on here. Could money worries be masking a deeper anxiety?

OCTOBER 2016 ENERGETIC FORECAST – THEMES, COLORS, & MUST-DOS FOR A TRANSFORMATIVE MONTH

Hi everyone!

We are now into the month of October! How has it been for you so far?

The Sun is in the sign of Libra for most of this month. Therefore, some Libran themes you may experience and/or find beneficial to explore at this time are:

• Beauty
• Harmony
• Truth
• Alignment
• Balance
• Art
• Style
• Charm
• Diplomacy
• Justice
• Partnership
• Relationships
• Shadow Work
• Decision
• Commitment

LET’S EXPLORE SOME OF THESE THEMES..

The glyph for Libra is the setting Sun. What's more, in the Northern side of the equator, when the Sun moved into Libra, this sign acquired the Autumn Equinox. 

The splendid lady goddess Persephone has gone into the Underworld to run as the Queen. What's more, we, thus, can dive deep inside amid this darker time, and reflect. 

Likewise, it is said that October and into November are months when the shroud is more slender amongst universes, and we can respect and interface with perished friends and family and predecessors. Furthermore, by November, we enter a mystical, capable entrance of change.

BUT OCTOBER ALSO HAS A LIGHTER SIDE!

Libra is the indication of excellence and concordance, all things considered. Presently is a decent time to concentrate on and appreciate the wonderful and fine things in life. 

It is likewise convenient to concentrate on some artistic expression, similar to move, music, composing, inside outline or painting/drawing. 

Connections are likewise a state of center this month. This incorporates sentimental connections as well as fellowships, business associations, lawful organizations, and so on. 

You may wind up blending more, this month. I know I have, and I've been a significant recluse throughout the previous couple of years! 

Connections can likewise serve as a type of shadow work and self-reflection. As the maxim goes: "Connections are reflecting". 

In the event that you encounter a passionate trigger or issue in your connections, this is a chance to see what it says in regards to what's happening with you inside. 

The magnificence of Libra is that it accentuates the way that other individuals (and our associations with them) are our instructors. 

Additionally, I trust that polar signs and discovering compromise between them are awesome profound lessons. 

The polar sign to Libra is Aries. Aries is about the self, while Libra is about connections. The test and lesson in discovering reciprocal union with these contrary energies is standing solidly in one's own particular distinction, while taking part in association with another. 

I cherish this quote on the subject of marriage from Khalil Gibran's "The Prophet": 

"Be that as it may, let there be spaces in your fellowship, 

What's more, given the winds of the sky a chance to move between you.. 

For the mainstays of the sanctuary stand separated, 

What's more, the oak and the cypress develop not in each other's shadow". 

What's more, since Libra is likewise spoken to by the image of the adjust scales, a great thing to ask yourself this month is: "The thing that necessities more adjust in my life?". 

It is a decent time to consider what needs realignment. Do you require more work out? More down time? Do you require more sentiment in your relationship? To listen more? These modification could be inward or outside. 

Here are a few messages that surfaced in my tarot and prophet readings during the current month.

TAROT – 4 OF SWORDS, KNIGHT OF SWORDS, 7 OF PENTACLES

Despite the fact that you may end up blending socially this month, ensure that you give yourself some an opportunity to withdraw also so you may think, ponder and reflect. Utilize this opportunity to tune into your heart and to your truth. 

Truth is a major topic during the current month (and for this entire year!). The message here is to be mercilessly genuine with yourself. We are well into the year, however it has not finished yet, and now we have created a few things in our lives. 

Investigate what you've made so far the victories and in addition the disappointments. What worked for you? What didn't? 

Why? What would you like to dispose of? What would you like to continue with? This is a period to hypothesize, so being mercilessly genuine with yourself will help you gigantically.

MAGIC OF FLOWERS ORACLE CARD – AGAPANTHUS- “BE IMPECCABLE”

Keywords: Authority, Confidence, Elegance, Excellence, Intelligence, Intuition and Inner Knowing, Knowledge of our own Divinity, Self-Mastery

I feel this card represents an aspect of Libra that is about refinement. It also links to this sign’s theme of justice (as well as the Egyptian goddess of justice, Maat).

This card represents tapping into that side of Libra, having the utmost dignity,integrity and acting in alignment with truth.

MERMAID ORACLE – SOUND HEALING

The message from the mermaids is that some sound healing would greatly benefit you this month.

You could attend a sound bath with gongs, singing bowls, etc.

Or you could simply listen to music that soothes and uplifts you.

I also got a message that some of you may receive healing from the sound of ocean waves- not surprising to hear that from the Mer realm!

CRYSTALS AND COLORS

Lastly, I’d like to share some colors and crystals that I’d recommend for this month:

Libra is ruled by Venus. Therefore rose quartz or some other pink-coloured stone that vibrates with love would be good to carry/wear this month.

The colors of Venus are white and pastel shades of pink, blue and green, so you may want to wear or have these particular colors around you.

You could also tune into the changing season in the Northern hemisphere, and wear autumnal colours, as well as black.

Thank you so much for reading.

Have a great October!

ASTROLOGY “QUICK BITES” WITH KELLI FOX: OCT 9 – 15, 2016 (YOUR WEEK IN A NUTSHELL)

STRAIGHT TO THE POINT:

This week builds in tension towards an annual showdown between the Sun and Uranus. Expect the unexpected, as these vibes tend to erupt into sudden drama, paradigm shifts and events which can quickly spiral out of control. Stay calm.

It’s OK to change your mind! You’ll feel a sudden urge to do things differently this week, and that’s just fine. Whether you’re changing your hairstyle or re-imagining your whole career, you’ve got this.

---

TAURUS

Something simple and relatively innocent opens up the floodgates this week, as it reminds you of something buried deep in your past. Allow the tears to flow, as this can be a healing and therapeutic moment for you.

---

GEMINI

Try not to overdo the drama in your social life. It's possible that there will be fallings out with friends or colleagues this week, but is there really any need to escalate the situation so badly? Seek reconciliation, not war.

---

CANCER

With increasing pressure on your work-home/family balance this week, things may reach boiling point when you are forced to make a difficult choice. Listen to your heart, not your head - your heart doesn't lie.

---

LEO

Travel plans are fair game for this week's cosmic disruption, but watch out for where study or education plans have to be changed too. It's irritating for you, but the chances are good that this will eventually work in your favor.

---

VIRGO

Financial shocks set you on the back foot, but this is nothing you can't handle if you remain calm and seek expert advice. Don't allow money worries to affect your self-esteem. You are more than your bank account!

---

IN A RUT? HERE ARE 3 STEPS TO MOVE THROUGH DIFFICULT TIMES WITH GRACE

Whether you work for yourself or someone else there are going to be times when difficulties can have you living with daily anxiety, fear or worry.

I remember each time there was an announced reorganization at the company I worked for; and there were a LOT of reorganizations! The level of anxiety that would build in the department prior to the facts being made known was off the charts.

And I wasn’t immune.

There would be days of gossip as everyone tried to figure out who would be out, who would be promoted and who would be moved from one department to another.

Very little actual work happened. Instead energy went into a growing mass of worry, anger, fear, resentment and even rebellion.

And, for some reason, the announcement of the pending reorganization would be made weeks ahead of the actual event. Crazy!! What a way to end up with a totally demotivated set of employees.

I found during these times that I would often have stomach cramps when I was on my way to work – that’s how much the unknown upset me. I was one of those people who liked to be prepared. I needed to know what was expected well in advance so I could meet those expectations.

IN SHORT, MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE UNKNOWN WAS FRAUGHT WITH ANGST.

We were NOT friends.

As I look back I realize that I had a lot more power in the situation than I knew. My power didn’t come from being able to affect the decisions being made but rather from how I reacted to them.

I learned that I didn’t have to think about something and stay in worry every moment of every day. I had the power to decide where I wanted to focus my thoughts, emotions and actions.

That knowledge and practicing the techniques I’m going to share with you enabled me to move through much larger difficulties in my life than the company reorganizations I’ve written about here.

AND SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY I MADE FRIENDS WITH THE GREAT UNKNOWN.

I found that I could trust myself to handle whatever situation came my way; and knowing I could trust myself made it possible to gently begin to get comfortable with the unknown.

Often life might move you along in ways that may seem unkind at best and harsh at the worst; but those times can contain some of your biggest opportunities.

It’s all about going with the FLOW!

Ok, that may seem simplistic but learning that there is a FLOW to your life (and mine) helps when unwanted change looms.

SO HERE ARE MY THREE WAYS TO MOVE THROUGH DIFFICULT TIMES:

1. TAKE THREE REALLY DEEP BREATHS.

Really? Yes, really. Like me you most likely forget to breathe when something distressing happens. So, before you even try to figure out what you are going to do about whatever happened – STOP, close your eyes and take three really deep breaths. You may be surprised at how that simple exercise begins to put you in a different state of mind.

2. GIVE YOURSELF TIME TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO.

It is human nature to want to figure out the answer right away but it isn’t necessary. You live in a world with a heightened but un-natural sense of immediacy – have to text back right away; have to answer those emails; have to check off items on an ever-growing ‘to-do’ list. In truth, decisions made in a hurry are usually the wrong ones. So you have my permission to take a holiday from thinking about whatever the problem is. Instead focus your energy on what it is that makes you happy in your life. Give yourself over to that. The other situation will still be there when you are ready to address it so use this time to remember all the joy you have in what you truly love about your life.

3. WHEN YOU ARE READY TO SIT DOWN AND CONSIDER WHATEVER SITUATION IS BEFORE YOU, MAKE A LIST OF THE OPPORTUNITIES HIDDEN WITHIN.

For example, when my company decided to move out of my city I panicked thinking I had to rush and find another job or change my lifestyle and move to a place I didn’t like. In fact neither of those two options were my path forward. A friend startled me by saying how wonderful it was that now I could think about what else I might want to do. As I took that in I realized she was right. It was an opportunity to reconsider whether I even wanted to stay in my same field or do something else. And I ended up doing something else and becoming much happier along the way. So look for the opportunities that lie hidden in what seems like a difficult situation. They are there I promise.

TRUST! And see where the flow takes you.  by this video

HOW TO MANIFEST LOVE & ABUNDANCE USING A CRYSTAL LOVE GRID (A FUN & EASY GUIDE!)

Precious stones grasp qualities that can be utilized to show your heart's wishes. The good thing is there are loads of great approaches to bring their vitality into your life. You can hold or reflect with a precious stone to exploit its vitality, or pop one in your pocket, under your pad or even wear adornments made of particular gem mixes.

One fun and capable strategy is to make a Crystal Grid, an example made up of various gems that are engaged with a particular aim.

SETTING UP YOUR SACRED GRID

The examples utilized are regularly taken from Sacred Geometrical shapes, however it isn't a prerequisite for a framework to be effective. Matrices are basically control maps of all inclusive vitality that are set up to interface and charge focuses. So your guide may utilize a shape from consecrated geometry, or an image that impacts you like the limitlessness sign or a heart, or they can be set up to associate corners of a room or region. 

I feel it regards utilize an example for your matrix that reverberates with the pith of the stones and with the goal you set. Utilize your instinct to discover what your "right method for setting it up" is and afterward run with that. I'll simply give you a few rules. 

Numerous individuals jump at the chance to utilize the blossom of life image – a 6-pointed bloom Grid – 6 is likewise a decent number for our motivation as it connections with Aphrodite/Venus the Goddess of Love. In this way, for this situation we're going to utilize 6 focuses around an extensive focal gem!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

·        A bit of paper to compose your expectation on – I have utilized pink paper with red and pink pens, shades of adoration. I've additionally cut my paper into a heart shape. 

·        Pink precious stones, for example, Rose Quartz, Morganite, Pink Tourmaline, Kunzite, Danburite, Rhodochrosite, and so on. 

·        Clear Quartz focuses for the framework and an additional one to charge the lattice. 

·        A space to put your framework where it won't be aggravated ideally in a place that is perfect and clear of disarray. Think about your lattice as a statement of your vitality. You need it to look and feel great and you need your message to be boisterous and clear. In the event that there is other stuff around it then the message could get to be confused. So treat your matrix with adoration and make it set up that is loaded with affection. 

 

·        Additional items – a pleasant fabric (perhaps a pink one) for under your network to make sure it looks and feels unique. Common filaments are ideal. Include blooms and questions of adoration for included love magic.

1. PREPARING YOUR CRYSTALS

CLEANSING YOUR CRYSTALS

As with any crystal work, before you set out to make your grid each crystal needs to be cleansed.  I like to use running water and intention to cleanse my crystals. Not all crystal chemistry is suitable to place in running water, but the quartz, morganite and tourmaline are.

Once you’ve cleansed your crystals you can either hold them as a group or hold them one by one to infuse with the energy of your intention. This is called “Programming” your crystals. You’re often told to hold a crystal in your “dominant” hand to do this. Traditionally that would be the hand you write with, but here’s my secret way to find your dominant hand.

Place your hands with palms opposite each other and then interlace your fingers bringing your thumbs to rest on top. Whichever thumb lands on top belongs to your dominant hand. My left hand thumb usually goes on top and yet I am right handed. So for programming and healing I use my left hand because to me this is my “giving” hand – it gives instructions and energy. Just so you know, I call this exercise my “rule of thumb!”

PROGRAMMING YOUR CRYSTALS

Programming your crystals is really just letting them and the universe know what you want from your grid. Everything is energy so your thought directs the action of the energy. I like to program my smaller crystals together and then set up the outside of my grid. I sit for a while longer with the larger central one – this is called the Focus Crystal – so that it truly reflects my heart. I think of the grid like a wheel and the central crystal is the hub. It holds everything together. So my relationship with this one is at the core of how well my grid will work for me.

Once I’ve made my connection I ask it if it is ready to go into the grid. If it says yes, great, I can then place it at the heart. If it says no, then I need to find out what else I have to do. If you’re connected then you can ask the crystal and you will receive the answer in one go, but this doesn’t work for everyone. So you can ask it a series of questions, things you might feel it needs such as – do I need to hold you for longer, do you need to be cleansed again, does the grid need to be set up differently, does it need to be in a different place, is it the wrong time to set up the grid, etc., and then go with what feels right.

2. SETTING UP YOUR GRID

I set up two grids using different numbers of crystals. Use your intuition to get a sense of which grid feels right for you, the one with less or more crystals. Neither is right or wrong, the pattern of a grid is a personal thing. When I set each one up I feel different levels of energy coming from the grids – this was before I energized it (that’s another step). Notice on both grids the position of the clear quartz crystal points. Each one is pointing inwards, the rose quartz hearts too. Energy is moving toward the central stone with the points facing the center in this case love is coming in. You can point your crystals outward if your intention is to send energy or love out.

Once you have the outside of your grid set up then it’s time to place your Focus Crystal at the heart. Position it in a way that feels right. For the most part grids are created with everything in balance, so again imagine a wheel. If one of your crystals is outside the lines of the wheel then the grid is potentially out of balance.

3. ADDING AFFIRMATIONS & INTENTIONS

You can place a photo or card under your central crystal with your intention and affirmations written on it to add to the energy of your grid. I made a heart shape of pink paper – pink for love – and then wrote three affirmations to empower the energy of my grid intention. Three is the number of Jupiter the planet of abundance. You can also use pink pen to write your intentions if pink paper isn’t available or double dip and do both.

I signed my card, it felt right to do so and by adding my name to the vibration of my crystal grid it feels like I am sealing the deal! The heart shape is a powerful symbol of love. If you were creating a money grid you could write your affirmations on a check or create a coin shape then write in gold or green, both colors of manifestation. You could also place money under the Focus Crystal to draw in abundance.

4. CHARGING YOUR GRID

Some grids like to be set up with a charging crystal. This means that you would have an additional crystal point larger than the small crystals in your grid but not necessarily larger than your central crystal. The charging crystal then charges each part of your grid. So it’s like you’re turning on a switch in each crystal as you follow the grid pattern awakening the connections between each piece.

If you choose to do this you’ll need to cleanse and program your charging crystal for the work. Then begin at the core or focus crystal and imagine you’re drawing an image of a pie that’s been cut into slices. Move clockwise around your grid to draw energy in and counter clockwise to move energy out. Start by holding your charging crystal over the focus crystal then draw an imaginary line outward as if you were cutting or outlining a piece of pie. Go back and forth into the center and then outward retracing your lines until you come back to the place where you started to complete the circuit. There is no right or wrong way of doing this, it’s all about connecting the crystals to each other and creating a circuit of energy.

5. GRID MAINTENANCE

OK, so you have your grid set up, what next? Leave the grid in place for at least 24 hours. Some people like to keep a grid in place for 40 days, use your intuition as to the length of time that is good for you. You can take into account the positions of the heavenly bodies, so make your grid when the moon is waxing – from new to full – this can enhance its impact. You can wait until Venus is direct before setting your grid up or if you might intuitively feel this energy will be beneficial. Why not try it and see what happens.

Re-charge your grid every 24 hours. You can do this by just sitting with it, meditating with it, placing your hands over the grid like you are warming them on a fire just to connect, or use your charging crystal to trace the pies.

I asked my guides how long a love grid should be set up. The answer came back as indefinitely provided the energy of the grid is cared for and the crystals remain clean. As you’ll be tuning into your grid on a daily basis you will know when it needs to be cleansed and re-energized.

One final thing here, remember to thank your crystals and the energy of the grid. Crystals love to be thanked and your attitude of gratitude can only add to the success of your grid!
