YOUR JANUARY 2017 ASTROLOGY FORECAST – A NEW CYCLE BEGINS

Happy 2017 everyone. Welcome to the new cycle of events. 2016 was the ending of a 9 year cycle, which then 2017 becomes a #1 year launching a new 9 year cycle. So the whole world is in relaunch. #1 years are always new beginnings, but as they are new, there is a lot of mistakes and successes side by side, as we find our way on our new path and as we learn to “own” our new life/selves. #2 year is balancing and requires a lot of compromise and inner balancing of the masculine and feminine. #3 year is harmony, a kind of break from two years of hard work. #4 year is a tons of hard work as you begin to actually build your new world on a solid foundation. #5 is changes, and more changes and creativity and fun- expect the unexpected. #6 is love, whether that’s another person or love of your life or your life’s work. #7 is about looking within and connecting to your spiritual self as a year long focus and #8 is about being the boss, owning responsibility, accomplishment. And #9 is ending this cycle, letting things go to make room for the new, and keeping only what you truly treasure in your life.

In 2016 I cleaned my house like a fool for the last six months, making room for lots of new. I know this year is going to be very busy and full of changes and opportunities, and by cleaning out so much clutter and unwanted things from my environment, a true feng shui curing, and my personal sanctuary has a new kind of energy, with open space making room for the new that is coming into my life. And the Astrology for 2017 concurs completely with this energy of lots of new, lots of letting go, lots of fighting for what we want, lots of change – and of owning your personal power.

ASTROLOGICAL SHIFT – DECEMBER 26TH

The Astrological mood shifted on December 26th, when the big outer planets – Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto all moved on the chess board to places of confrontation. And this includes the Wounded Healer, Chiron, who is pushing our “stuff” to the surface so we cannot hide from it anymore. We are heading into a major Pluto cycle, where endings are coming to make way for new beginnings – a Phoenix rising from the ashes energy. But each of these big planets has their own agenda, which may not blend with the others, and there comes the stress, the fighting, the battles to hold onto what is good, while releasing what is not working. And this is also true on a personal level. What happens “out there” is also happening “within” us, because we are all part of this one piece of fabric and experiencing it simultaneously. And hiding from the work; avoiding the work; not facing the work you need to do within, can no longer be ignored. It’s in your face, and you are going to be stressed until you start to change.

SO CHANGE AND STOP PROLONGING THE PAIN.

It starts with asking yourself what is really important and what is mind numbing stupid stuff that fills our world and diverts us from reality? Is your cracked nail polish really that important? What if you start doing your own nails, keep them clear polished and give that money for your nails to help the 24% of American children who go to bed hungry EVER SINGLE NIGHT. Stop doing TV marathons and look into organizations who can help our world be a better place. Remember, advertising is about making money and selling you something. It’s not about selling you something that you need or is good for you quite often, but its getting you to open your wallet and BUY. Stop squandering your money on stupid stuff and save it, give it to charity, or work less and give yourself more free time to enjoy friends, family or be with yourself for inner exploration of self. Money and possessions do NOT bring happiness.

WHAT THE UNIVERSAL ENERGY IS DEMANDING…

The new call is to GET INVOLVED and make the world a better place by being of service to others. I don’t care if its helping the elderly, children, the environment, animals, global warming fixes, etc. Just be of service. And from this service you will receive personal joy, spiritual kudos and epiphanies about what’s important and what isn’t – and then “they” no longer control you because you are your own person who listens to your gut, not TV commercials and magazines. It is time for your personal power and to stand up to wrongs in the world. Protest wrongs via marches, letter writing, blogs, etc and make your opinion known. And ask yourself if that opinion is good for the many or only the few, and then you know if you need to expand your thinking and embrace the world, not your personal circle, or you’re on the right path, because we have to do this together and join hands to make the world a better place for us all.

For example, seeing all this racism and sexism come to a head shocks me frankly. Making yourself feel superior to someone else only showcases how very insecure you are. What are you lacking that makes you lash out at others? Perhaps you need to look within, face that pain that created this mindset and release it. We are ALL God’s children. Black people were born closer to the equator, so their skin has adapted and is darker; brown people live further from the equator and their skin is not as dark; while white people are from cold places with less sun, so they are lighter. That’s it. The different races are just geography. Help the bigots in your life get that.

Women are 51% of the world, can you really disrespect their contribution and importance and be sane? Women create community; birth and generally speaking, raise the children; they nurture and support; they generally keep the homes clean and cook for the family; they go out into the world to work out of want or need and carry a heavy burden of responsibility every day. Reducing them to sex objects is what a pubescent boy does, not men in the grown up world. Hating someone because of their race or sex is like telling your right arm you hate your left arm. They are a team and need each other to work well together. We all have two eyes, two hands, two feet, two lungs, two ears, two arms, two lobes in the brain, two legs – hmmm I see a pattern here. 

This is our physical duality of the yin/yang or masculine and feminine energy – creating balance in the body (and I am sure to leave us with ONE in case of accidents). And its all about balance. We must respect people of every race, of every walk of life (thank God the Plumber will come and clear up my clogged toilet and the garbage man who takes away the trash from my house – these are great, hardworking, essential people in our lives, so why do we belittle them, like we do teachers who spend more time with our kids than we do in terms of one on one attention?) Our world is upside down and to make it right side up, we must change ourselves then the boat turns around and we are on a happy journey together.

MPOWERED WITH CONFIDENCEJANUARY 1, 2017 IS THE FIRST STEP IN BECOMING WHOLE, HEALED AND E

The astrology this month is quirky, conflicted, stressful, surprising and sometimes scary. You have to be a grownup to face what is coming, which is why finding your balance is so important. Knowing yourself, being comfortable in your own skin, is key to your character. It’s time to be YOU and not someone else because society has convinced you to ignore your true self and be like everyone else. Exploring who you are and finding the courage to come out into the world as that person is serious stuff. But being a clone, or hiding your true self, will never bring you happiness so you have to make changes.

SO HERE’S WHAT ASTROLOGY ASPECTS AFFECT US THE FIRST HALF OF JANUARY 2017.

On January 3rd Venus enters Pisces, making us dreamy and soft-hearted for about 3 weeks. Venus is exalted here and a great placement for love. Bond with people and lovers. Make new friends, find a lover. It’s about emotions and connection via the Universal love connection.

January 6 & 7 Sun conjunct Pluto. You might get some good news, but it could also go wrong. I suggest you walk softly and carry a big stick, and wait for another day to make deals if you can.

January 8 Mercury goes direct. Yippee!! Our minds will take a couple more days to shake off the fog, and then our brains will come back in top form as Mercury has moved back into Sagittarius making us smart, savvy, and ready to go. Think big and tackle big projects/issues.

January 9-11 the Sun is squaring Uranus AND Jupiter. It’s a T-square aspect which is very stressful. Expect outbursts; domestic and international violence and just bad hot headed decisions being made.

January 12 is a full moon in Cancer, the home of the Moon. Expect BIG emotions and religious fervor to take center stage. “I know what’s best” might prevail and people are just over the top emotional. It’s a crazy day generally.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, WORK ON YOURSELF.

Become the butterfly, own your power, become balanced and centered and grounded, and stand up for humanity because its all of us together now, and when we join together as one to make things better, we will be unstoppable.

See you mid January!

7 SIMPLE STEPS TO AN ACCURATE ANGEL CARD READING

Angel Card Readings are an enjoyable and effective way to start receiving messages and guidance from your angels.

Everyone has the ability to tune into the guidance of angels directly, but hearing the angels messages requires you to first raise your vibration and learn to tune into the angelic frequencies.

Angel Cards are a valuable tool to help you make the connection!

Here’s a simple guide to support yo

u in learning to read Angel Cards for yourself.

Symbolism, Synchronicity and Numerology

Many individuals have a tendency to be doubtful with regards to the in-correct and natural sciences like Astrology, Numerology, Tarot and others. This is reasonable and, as I would see it, something worth being thankful for. All things considered, we live in a world that is handy, consistent, and clear - to some degree, at any rate.

Doubters imagine that the idea that your name mirrors your identity, or that your date of birth predicts things about your future, is fantastical, if not totally over the top. What's more, unless you are the curious sort, you will most likely acknowledge this as last and proceed onward, agreeable in the learning that you, in any event, won't be tricked by any of those otherworldly sciences.

But then, in the event that you set aside the opportunity to look somewhat more profound, you might be astonished at how defective and restricting that observation is. Truth be told, on the off chance that you stick just to tolerating what can be demonstrated, touched, witnesses firsthand, you stand minimal shot of making due for long in this not really down to earth world.

Tolerating THE INEXPLICABLE

I am certain that even the most suspicious individual has encountered "baffling marvels" in his or her life, and reacted to it decisively. They simply don't call it secretive or consider the suggestions. All things considered, it's more secure to avoid that. For instance, how often have you "felt" that somebody was gazing at you and beyond any doubt enough, when you pivot, so-as is taking a gander at you. What sort of clarification would you apply to something to that effect? All things considered, there was no obvious or material association of any sort amongst you and the individual gazing at you from twenty feet away. So how did the message traverse space and alarm your mind?

I can let you know that in my life I have seen various cases where this sort of sense spared me or another person from fiasco. Similarly as I have seen individuals who showed up excessively thick, making it impossible to get those sort of inconspicuous signs stroll into awful circumstances that could have been evaded, had they been a smidgen more delicate to their own senses.

To numerous suspicious individuals, however, sense is satisfactory. The set of all animals flourishes with it and individuals perceive that. Be that as it may, what is instinct if not a developed, refined type of nature? Engrossing and tolerating data without experiencing a judicious point of view is basic, we do it constantly.

Actually, there is no genuine division between what we consider genuine, pragmatic or material, and that which we allude to as natural. The universe of matter is genuine, or so it appears. In any case, that is really far from being obviously true, considering that consistently reality changes in a trillion little and not all that little ways. It's more exact to view it as a sort of continually transforming gigantic natural hallucination that never remains the same for a solitary nanosecond. Picture the entire universe as an excellent movement, with sound and light impacts, reshaping, changing, turning and tumbling like one of those old light shows they used to play amid shake shows in the sixties.

Alright, so maybe this sounds somewhat like somebody who sucked on one an excessive number of sugar shapes. In any case, on the off chance that you could see this rational, purported steady and methodical reality from a sufficiently far point of view, with an edge speed set so high a million years fly by in about a moment, you would perceive the lunacy of thinking about your material world as something besides a definitive fantasy.

AN EVOLUTION OF LIFE AND SYMBOLS

What's more, that is the place you live, in an unpredictable, always showing signs of change, precarious environment. But then, as a result of this creation, you are really a truly cool and magnificently balanced bit of work. You have a mind that not just can string musings together in a pretty much consistent way, additionally reach determinations and make a move - your cerebrum gets signals you can't see. Also all the astonishing things it can do that you found out about in science class; the way your eyeballs convey moment pictures to your mind, for instance. On the other hand your ears, another bit of awesome gear. Your nose, your fingers, your tongue - I mean truly, when we commend researchers for assembling a cool robot and flying it to Mars, who are we joking? Contrasted with the totality of this creation, that is about as complex as a toenail.

What a world, non? Furthermore, how would we impart the majority of this to each other? With images, obviously. Images as numbers, letters, words, objects, signs, pictures, and so on. We speak with images, to each other, as well as to ourselves. At the point when that researcher is chipping away at his favor little robot, he is controlling data in his mind with the assistance of images, with the expectation that something clicks.

In any case, in the past we didn't have images. When we were more idiotic than a stick and took hundreds of years to find fire. We didn't impart much by any means. Envision yourself a Neanderthal a million years prior, trudging through five feet of snow and conveying an overwhelming club. You are chasing deer or another thing to murder and eat. Abruptly, you see this other fella, club close by, coming towards you. You don't have a clue about this person, so you begin by making debilitating clamors, maybe shaking your club to demonstrate that yours is greater than his. The sounds you make are disagreeable and startling. The outsider acknowledges you are not somebody to upset, so he turns and keeps running off. Bravo. In any case, somewhat assist on, you see this pleasant looking female Neanderthal, likewise furnished with a major stick, and simply like you and the person you just pursued off, searching for sustenance. Another contender, yet now you react in an unexpected way. You make cooing, smoochy  sounds. You attempt to make her vibe safe so you can draw her to your surrender. Distinctive sounds, diverse message.

Presently quick forward a million years, and those sounds have developed into words, yet at the same time mirror their significance in a way not typically recognized. For instance, you detested the person you experienced in light of the fact that he undermined you and you had no utilization for him. In any case, you adored the female and she got your "affection," a word that sounds and feels warm, similar to a grasp. Proceed, talk it and you can detect the agreeable and defensive sentiment "adore." It's a wonderful sound, comfortable and friendly, similar to such a variety of things and verbs that have an "o" as their first vowel.

The person, in any case, got a feeling of your "loathe," a word that feels like a chomp; forceful and fierce, driven and furious. Go on, say it like you mean it and you will perceive how unpalatable that word sounds. Keeping in mind you're grinding away, see how frequently the letter "an" appears as the primary vowel here? Similarly as in words like "war" and "fight," "insulting," "testing," "taking" thus numerous others. Obviously not all words with "an" as the main vowel are upsetting, and not all words with "o" as their first vowel are sure, on the grounds that simply like people, letters and numbers have many sides to their identities. Still, every letter in each word in a specific dialect mirrors the instinctive feeling of its importance as fitting the general population who talk it. For instance, the letter "e" is the most widely recognized vowel in the English dialect and speaks to opportunity, extension, vitality - take a gander at every one of those "e"s - which practically mirrors their first need. Latin dialects, then again, have the "an" as the most widely recognized vowel, resounding the way that independence is their most clear quality.

The greater part of this mirrors the synchronicity between people advancing, and the images they make all the while.

NUMEROLOGYIS THE BRIDGE

Which conveys me to the third uppercase word in the title of this blog: Numerology. The specialty of perceiving the relationship between images (numbers and letters, names and dates), and what they speak to. It's a natural science, obviously, and as a Numerologist, I am prepared to discover those associations between your name and what it says in regards to your identity. On the other hand your date of birth and what it tells about your future.

So that is it more or less. Imagery reflects synchronicity, and Numerology is the investigation of the examples and network that exists between the two. Imagery, synchronicity, riddles, material science, even brain science, resemble fingers beginning to expose what's underneath of the obscure.

Well would you take a gander at that! Might it be able to be an incident that each one of the five words utilized as a part of the past passage have the insightful, profound "y" as their first vowel? Not so much, after all each of them mirrors some part of the concealed, unobtrusive, covered up, and fundamental reality of nature, and the one letter in the letter set most particularly connected with searching for the shrouded the truth, is molded like a couple of arms going after the sky.

Cheerful 2017 everybody. Welcome to the new cycle of occasions. 2016 was the completion of a 9 year cycle, which then 2017 turns into a #1 year propelling another 9 year cycle. So the entire world is in relaunch. #1 years are constantly fresh starts, however as they are new, there is a considerable measure of missteps and victories one next to the other, as we discover our way on our new way and as we figure out how to "claim" our new life/selves. #2 year is adjusting and requires a ton of bargain and inward adjusting of the manly and ladylike. #3 year is agreement, a sort of break from two years of diligent work. #4 year is a tons of diligent work as you start to really fabricate your new world on a strong establishment. #5 is changes, and more changes and imagination and fun-expect the

unforeseen. #6 is love, whether that is someone else or love of your life or your labor of love. #7 is about glimpsed inside and associating with your profound self as a year long concentration and #8 is about being the manager, owning obligation, achievement. What's more, #9 is consummation this cycle, releasing things to make space for the new, and keeping just what you genuinely treasure in your life.

In 2016 I cleaned my home like a trick throughout the previous six months, making space for loads of new. I know this year will be extremely occupied and loaded with changes and openings, and by clearing out so much disarray and undesirable things from my surroundings, a genuine feng shui curing, and my own asylum has another sort of vitality, with open space making space for the new that is coming into my life. What's more, the Astrology for 2017 agrees totally with this vitality of bunches of new, heaps of giving up, loads of battling for what we need, heaps of progress – and of owning your own energy.

Visionary SHIFT – DECEMBER 26TH 

The Astrological mind-set moved on December 26th, when the huge external planets – Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto all proceeded onward the chess load up to spots of encounter. What's more, this incorporates the Wounded Healer, Chiron, who is pushing our "stuff" to the surface so we can't avoid it any longer. We are heading into a noteworthy Pluto cycle, where endings are coming to clear a path for fresh starts – a Phoenix ascending from the slag vitality. In any case, each of these enormous planets has their own particular motivation, which may not mix with the others,

and there comes the anxiety, the battling, the fights to clutch what is great, while discharging what is not working. What's more, this is likewise valid on an individual level. What happens "out there" is likewise happening "inside" us, since we are all piece of this one bit of texture and encountering it at the same time. What's more, escaping the work; keeping away from the work; not confronting the work you have to do inside, can never again be overlooked. It's in your face, and you will be worried until you begin to change.

SO CHANGE AND STOP PROLONGING THE PAIN. 

It begins with asking yourself what is truly vital and what is mind desensitizing moronic stuff that fills our reality and redirects us from reality? Is your split nail clean truly that critical? Imagine a scenario in which you begin doing your own particular nails, keep them clear cleaned and give that cash for your nails to help the 24% of American youngsters who go to bed hungry EVER SINGLE NIGHT. Quit doing TV marathons and investigate associations who can help our reality be a superior place. Publicized, is about profiting and offering you something. It's not about offering you something that you require or is beneficial for you regularly, however its motivating you to open your wallet and BUY. Quit misusing your cash on moronic stuff and spare it, offer it to philanthropy, or work less and give yourself all the more available time to appreciate companions, family or be with yourself for inward investigation of self. Cash and belonging don't bring joy.

WHAT THE UNIVERSAL ENERGY IS DEMANDING… 

January horoscopes 2 The new call is to GET INVOLVED and improve the world a place by being of administration to others. I couldn't care less if its helping the elderly, youngsters, the earth, creatures, a worldwide temperature alteration fixes, and so forth. Simply be of administration. What's more, from this administration you will get individual delight, profound praise and epiphanies about what's vital and what isn't – and afterward "they" no longer control you since you are your own particular individual who listens to your gut, not TV advertisements and magazines. It is the ideal opportunity for your own energy and to confront wrongs on the planet. Challenge wrongs by means of walks, letter composing, websites, and so on and make your feeling known. What's more, inquire as to whether that supposition is useful for the numerous or just the few, and after that you know whether you have to extend your reasoning and grasp the world, not your own circle, or you're on the correct way, since we need to do this together and hold hands to improve the world a place for every one of us.

For instance, seeing this bigotry and sexism reach a crucial stage stuns me obviously. Making yourself feel better than another person just showcases how extremely unreliable you are. What are you without that makes you lash out at others? Maybe you have to search inside, face that agony that made this attitude and discharge it. We are ALL God's kids. Dark individuals were conceived nearer to the equator, so their skin has adjusted and is darker; cocoa individuals live further from the equator and their skin is not as dim; while white individuals are from chilly spots with less sun, so they are lighter. That is it. The distinctive races are recently topography. Help the biased people throughout your life get that.

Ladies are 51% of the world, would you be able to truly affront their commitment and significance and be normal? Ladies make group; birth and as a rule, bring up the youngsters; they sustain and bolster; they for the most part keep the homes clean and cook for the family; they go out into the world to work out of need or need and convey a substantial weight of obligation consistently. Decreasing them to sex items is the thing that a pubescent kid does, not men in the adult world. Abhorring somebody as a result of their race or sex resembles telling your correct arm you loathe your left arm. They are a group and need each other to function admirably together. We as a whole have two eyes, two hands, two feet, two lungs, two ears, two arms, two projections in the mind, two legs – gee I see an example here. This is our physical duality of the yin/yang or manly and female vitality – making equalization in the body (and I am certain to abandon us with ONE if there should be an occurrence of mishaps). Also, its about adjust. We should regard individuals of each race, of each stroll of life (express gratitude toward God the Plumber will come and clear up my obstructed latrine and the city worker who takes away the junk from my home – these are extraordinary, persevering, fundamental individuals in our lives, so why do we put down them, as we do instructors who invest more energy with our children than we do as far as one on one consideration?) Our reality is topsy turvy and to make it right side up, we should change ourselves then the watercraft pivots and we are on an upbeat trip together.

JANUARY 1, 2017 IS THE FIRST STEP IN BECOMING WHOLE, HEALED AND EMPOWERED WITH CONFIDENCE 

The crystal gazing this month is particular, at odds, distressing, shocking and now and again alarming. You must be an adult to face what is coming, which is the reason discovering your adjust is so vital. Knowing yourself, being agreeable in your own particular skin, is critical to your character. It's a great opportunity to be YOU and not another person since society has persuaded you to disregard your actual self and resemble every other person. Investigating your identity and finding the valor to turn out into the world as that individual is not kidding stuff. Yet, being a clone, or concealing your actual self, will never convey you joy so you need to roll out improvements.

SO HERE'S WHAT ASTROLOGY ASPECTS AFFECT US THE FIRST HALF OF JANUARY 2017. 

On January third Venus enters Pisces, making us marvelous and loving for around 3 weeks. Venus is commended here and an extraordinary situation for affection. Bond with individuals and significant others. Make new companions, discover a beau. It's about feelings and association by means of the Universal love association.

January 6 and 7 Sun conjunct Pluto. You may get some uplifting news, yet it could likewise turn out badly. I propose you walk delicately and convey a major stick, and sit tight for one more day to make bargains on the off chance that you can.

January 8 Mercury goes coordinate. Hooray!! Our psyches will take a couple more days to shake off the mist, and afterward our brains will return best shape as Mercury has moved once more into Sagittarius making us brilliant, shrewd, and prepared to go. Plan for an impressive future and handle huge ventures/issues.

January 9-11 the Sun is squaring Uranus AND Jupiter. It's a T-square perspective which is exceptionally unpleasant. Expect upheavals; household and global viciousness and simply awful hot headed choices being made.

January 12 is a full moon in Cancer, the home of the Moon. Expect BIG feelings and religious enthusiasm to become the dominant focal point. "I comprehend what's ideal" may win and individuals are right over the top enthusiastic. It's an insane day by and large.

Be that as it may, 

MOST IMPORTANTLY, WORK ON YOURSELF. 

Turned into the butterfly, possess your energy, get to be distinctly adjusted and focused and grounded, and support humankind since its every one of us together now, and when we combine as one to improve things, we will be relentless.

WHY YOUR 2017 WILL NOT NEED ANY NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS!

It’s almost 2017 and I bet that has you thinking about all the things you’d like to change or accomplish next year. Maybe you have even started thinking about some resolutions you want to make.

What is it you are thinking you might change?

• Is it finally time to lose those last ten pounds?
• Is it finally time to leave that job that devalues you?
• Is it finally time to get your finances in order?
• Is it finally time to meditate daily or ramp up your spiritual practice?
• Is it finally time to exercise more?

In case you are wondering, that list above comes from my own resolutions made over and over again. I use the word ‘finally’ because New Year’s resolutions are sort of like those promises you make to yourself when you go to bed each night.

• “Tomorrow” I’ll get up early and meditate.
• “Tomorrow” I’ll eat a healthy breakfast.
• “Tomorrow” I’ll go in and ask for a raise.
• “Tomorrow” I’ll change my spending habits.
• “Tomorrow” I’ll exercise first thing.

A few years ago I had the stunning revelation that “tomorrow” is ALWAYS tomorrow.

Now that may not seem stunning to you but it stopped me cold. I got it. Finally I got it!

I heard little Yoda’s voice in my head saying ‘There is no TRY, only DO or not DO.”

CREATING THEMES INSTEAD OF RESOLUTIONS

So I stopped making New Year’s resolutions and instead started thinking about my life along certain themes. I became so enamored of this idea that I did away with resolutions entirely and focused instead on a theme that would carry me through each New Year. My first theme was ‘simplifying my life’ and in the years I worked with that theme I moved twice, each time letting go of a lot of material goods I no longer needed or wanted.

But getting rid of furniture, clothing and knick-knacks was not the real benefit of working on my theme. I also made some important changes in my work relationships and activities. So I found myself letting go of relationships that weren’t fulfilling (not easy!) and refocused my work around a few key areas instead of trying to do everything that floated into my busy brain.

MY NEXT THEME WAS ‘FINISHING WHAT I START.’

As a writer filled with the impulse to create I struggle with staying with one project at a time long enough to get something finished. So that theme was all about completion for me and I carried that theme with me in all areas of my life finally getting books into publishing, getting my website in the hands of developers for a redo and also completing some aspects of my legal business structure that I had put off for a while.

I also discovered that my themes tend to span years and bring lots of opportunities for growth and the empowerment of choice.  And the old themes stay with me even as I choose a new theme for the New Year. So I continue to simplify as I go and also keep the lessons in completing what I am working on before moving on to the next great idea.

MY NEXT THEME WAS ‘I AM ENOUGH.’

That theme proved to be a real challenge and brought me lots of opportunities for growth as I stepped into my life in all areas as ‘enough.’  Over time I found I became more confident and more at peace with all aspects of my life and definitely no longer someone willing to allow other people’s expectations to define me but it is still very much a theme in progress.

That theme led directly to my next theme which was ‘self-love – body, mind, spirit.’ So what did a theme of ‘self-love’ do for me?

So glad you asked!!!

With that theme in my head and heart, I released 40 excess pounds and got healthier on many levels. I focused on self-forgiveness and released a lot of unresolved emotion around past events.

AND THAT THEME HAS LED TO MY THEME FOR 2017 – ‘RELEASING THE PAST.’

This year I will work to align my thoughts, emotions and actions with presence.  For me, and maybe for you, it is so easy to get stuck in the mind ruminating over mistakes, poor choices and missed opportunities. Even though I know the past is over and done, it creeps into my present and affects my actions and choices.

But not any more!

MY NEW MANTRA IS ‘ONLY TODAY EXISTS.’

I like to create mantras and affirmations around my theme for the year and this one snaps me into presence like no other. Just like all my other themes, my new focus will bring many challenges as I release long-standing patterns of procrastination, prioritizing others’ needs before my own or holding back from fears that originated in past events. I know my theme will continue to change my life in ways large and small.

HOW TO WORK WITH THEMES FOR 2017

I invite you to join me in working with Themes rather than resolutions this year and begin your process of first envisioning the life you want and then choosing a theme that will support your most cherished dreams.

To help you I have created an e-workbook called Themes and Dreams that explains the process and includes worksheets for you to use to create your own theme(s) for 2017.

You’ll realize as you work with themes that you are working with the Law of Attraction at the highest level – one of awareness, commitment and with focused energy.

Imagine what can happen!!!

Hey Everyone! Happy Solstice season!

On December 21st, in the Northern Hemisphere, we experience the Winter Solstice-the shortest day and the longest night of the year.

Darkness reaches its peak, and from this point the days will gradually become longer.

Also, the Sun enters Capricorn at this time, and this is the symbol of the mountain goat initiating its climb up the mountain, paralleling the Sun’s slow ascent.

THIS IS A TIME TO HONOUR THE SUN, ITS “DEATH” & RE-EMERGENCE

And to me, this is truly when we start our new year. So what are some ways that we can celebrate and honour this special time?

Here are some of my tips!

3 TIPS TO HONOUR THE WINTER SOLSTICE

1. BURN FRANKINCENSE

Frankincense has one of the highest vibrating scents- and it is my personal favourite! It also corresponds to the Sun and the Divine Masculine.

You can also burn frankincense with myrrh. Frankincense and myrrh have always gone hand in hand. Myrrh is also a sacred healing resin, and carries the energy of the Moon and the Divine Feminine.

In the story of Jesus’s birth, it is said that he was visited by three magi bearing gifts of frankincense, myrrh and gold. The gold represented the wealth that comes from the union of the King and Queen, aka the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine.

Burn this incense to bring sacredness, well-being and prosperity to you and your home.

2. TRY THIS COOKIE RECIPE

ROSEMARY AND ORANGE ARE PLANTS THAT CORRESPOND TO THE SUN. SO WE CAN CELEBRATE BY USING THESE SOLAR INGREDIENTS IN SOME FESTIVE COOKIES.

I made this recipe last year, and it was delicious!

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies with Orange Rosemary and Cranberries

• 2 cups (250 grams) spelt flour (or flour of choice)
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
• 1 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips (chocolate with 60 percent cocoa content or higher)
• 1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar or crystallized coconut blossom nectar
• 1/2 cup (110 grams) packed light or dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon safflower oil (or grapeseed or any other neutral oil)
• 1/4cup plus 1 tablespoon water
• Coarse-grained sea salt or flaky sea salt for garnish
• 1/2 to 1 1/2 tablespoon coarsely chopped rosemary
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• About 8 drops pure orange essential oil

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the chocolate chips, rosemary and cranberries to the flour mixture and toss to coat.
2. In a separate large bowl, whisk the sugars briskly with the oil and water until smooth and mixed, about 2 minutes. Note: Use fresh, soft light brown sugar. If there are clumps, break them up with the back of a spoon or your hand before whisking.
3. Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, and then stir with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula until just combined and no flour is visible. Add in orange essential oil. Do not overmix.
4. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes. Do not skip this step.
5. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line two rimmed sheet pans with parchment paper. Remove dough from the refrigerator and use an ice cream scoop or a spoon to portion dough into 2-inch mounds.
6. Sprinkle the balls of dough with coarse-grained sea salt, and bake for about 12 minutes, or until the edges are just golden. Do not overbake.
7. Let cool completely before serving.

3. TAKE TIME TO REVIEW AND REVISE YOUR PLANS

Mercury went retrograde in 15 degrees Capricorn on the 19th of this month, and will be in this position until the 8th of January.

That means you still have plenty of time to revise and reassess your plans for the new year. Even into the beginning of January, it is not the time to make big actions just yet.

You can ask yourself:

• What did not work for me in 2016?
• What would be good to release? (This could be beliefs that are not serving you, situations/relationships, habits, old emotions, etc.)
• Which plans are in line with my heart and higher purpose for 2017? Which ones shall I discard or revise?

Side Note: These plans could be career oriented (since Capricorn is the sign of career and finances), but you could look at which house 15 degrees of Capricorn is in on your personal birth chart, to see what part of your life could be reviewed.

Here is a map of the astrological houses, and with just some of their many themes.

And if you’re living in the Southern Hemisphere, happy Summer Solstice! We wouldn’t want to forget you so head here for your dedicated Summer Solstice blog post :)

Sending much love to you all.

Happy new year!!
