Puff The Magic Dragon 2023 Part IV

Puff The Magic Dragon, Part IV 2023 continued.

After getting your attention in the previous blog, Part III, it is time to shine the light again on the way forward and tell you about the MAGIC of this year.

Because God WOULD NEVER GIVE US such a challenging time, without also, preparing us.

If you were asked to pack a small bag, to leave home and go on an expedition, without knowing whence you would return, what would you put in the bag?

In today’s world, there are many who warn us that we should have a ‘bugout’ bag prepared just in case of emergency, this has been on major news broadcasts.

So, I ask you again, what would you put in this small bag, that you can carry with you on such a journey?

Would they be trivial matters?

You would pack ‘SURVIVAL’ items of GREAT IMPORTANCE.

The tarot deck, (though there is much debate over where the ‘le fool’ is placed) begins with the ‘0’ card, LE FEUL.

I believe as do others, that the Fool is BOTH the ‘0’ card AND the ‘22’, once he completes his journey, and becomes a ‘MASTER’ from his lessons and travels.

You must also believe that you packed what is ‘ESSE’ ntial for you in this life.

It is just the task to set about to unpack your soul’s gift, spiritus, what you have brought that is individual ONLY TO YOU, because you are alive and have arrived at just this time, is prescient. The light that you are, underneath the garment you are wearing for this incarnation. You can see it in your eyes.

It is the light that is your own projector through your lens and onto the canvas of life.

That you are reading this, additional proof. Things that are serendipitous or coincidental if you must, don’t happen by accident.

Only a fool would pack unimportant items ~ and yet, we see in the Marseilles Deck of Tarot, the fool’s bag is beaming inside with a golden light.
(Part of the mystery to unfold)

We are all unpacking the ‘quantum entanglement’ of our SACRED MIND the SACRAMENT of our inception, immaculately conceived. Pairs of particles can become so entwined with each other that one can no longer be described without the other, no matter how far apart they may be. Weirder still, changing one will instantly trigger a change in its partner, even if it was on the other side of the universe. The idea, is known as quantum entanglement. Even Einstein was unnerved by it, referring to it as “spooky action at a distance.

Physicists discover completely new type of quantum entanglement (newatlas.com)

You may also recall that I have spoken about the true nature of genius, and the origin of the word. THAT IS WHAT WE MUST ALL TAP INTO NOW.

Look what I found from Thomas Moore, one of my favorite authors.

“…we are made from the depths, from beyond consciousness. We are more original than we can imagine. We are driven from a place beneath awareness, and what drives us - it has been called angel, daimon, animus, duende - hurls us toward our identity and our place in time and space.”

~~ Thomas Moore, “Original Self - Living with Paradox and Originality,” p. 56, 2000

"Eros is the dynamic force that keeps us awake rather than asleep, alive rather than soul dead."

~~ Thomas Moore, " A Religion of One's Own"

“The energies that are the source of your life, the inward light you speak of, is below the level of your mental consciousness.” ~deepinsights.com

You can read the blog on Chiron here, and the vision I was given about Chiron.
Waking The Deep: Chiron, The Wound, The Light & The Way, The Key to Your 'Blueprint'. (arcoftheancients.blogspot.com)

Chiron pierces the veil, the leaden ring of Saturn to draw down the higher octave of the outer planets, and in specifics, the GENIUS of the Great Awakener, Uranus.

When Pluto makes his first penetration into the Air Waves of Aquarius this year, on March 23^rd this year, Chiron will be at 15* Aries conjoining a Jupiter who will be at 17* Aries, they will form a semi-sextile to a 16* Uranus in TAUrus, and a quindecile aspect to Saturn who is only days into PIsces at 1*.

Saturn and Uranus having gone through the final (closing) squares, the breaking apart of the energy that cannot remain. This, just like the fall leaves, is the beginning to create ‘new growth’.

All of this, points to the road being paved, to get out your shiny secret, that is buried within you. Now, you may have already uncovered this gift, it is simply a time to take it to the next level, but in many cases, this is not so, and this year, will bring the urgency to manifest, what is within you.

“Woe to those with child”, indeed, a pregnant woman has a gift within her, ready to come forth. But you can also be pregnant with an idea that you have not had the COURAGE to bring forth.

Mars will finally begin to station direct on January 11^th at 8* Gemini and less than a week later, Mercury will begin to station direct on January 18^th at 23* Capricorn, we will all become much more restless and ready to TRAVEL, to put things into motion, just as the Chariot Card symbolizes.

So, as we have stated so many times now, to find your gift, you need to look to where Chiron is in your astrology chart, for there inside the wounded healer, is where the body releases the gift. Through the wounding.

"When you find unexpected strength in your voice or in your work, that is the daimon empowering you." ~~ Thomas Moore, Dark Nights of the Soul, p.17

Howling Into The Moonlit Square Dance

The moon waxes into fullness on January 16, 2014 at 12:53AM EST.
The wolves will be howling, looking for food, and that includes the two-legged ones too, more like sharks as they circle their prey, ready to clean and lick the bones. You will want to find the softest of spots in your own heart and line the walls with soft pink gentleness and pictures from your past if you can. Venus/Aphrodite is still retrograde in Capricorn at 18* and she is squaring her consort, Mars/Ares travelling through Libra at 17*.

Some people will enjoy some very hot, sizzling amour this evening and the next as the two dance together and the sparks fly, the wine is poured and the emotions run high.

If not, it could be the battle of the sexes…it is up to you to funnel that energy into the kind of action that will melt the skin and everything that every stood between you, or burn down the house and see the relationship (Libra) go up in flames.
If you are one of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) this will affect you profoundly and more intensely, especially in these degrees: 25, 26 and 27 (by Sun and Moon Transit) 16, 17, 18 and 19 by Venus and Mars transit, and 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 by Pluto and Uranus transits. (Yes, that pretty much blankets the signs, but those degrees will have more intense and personal experiences.)

This is also true for planets and/or axis points in those degrees.

Notably, Venus will emerge as the morning star on January 17^th, just one day later and will appear approximately one hour before the sun, as the ‘light bearer’ or bringer of the dawn, Venus is heralding the emerging shining orb we all rotate around (and we don’t see enough of in the Northeast during the dark winter months.) So, while she is retrograde AND submerged, feeling the love may be in question or front and center. What is Love anyway? We also may not ‘feel’ the love, especially as Venus dances backwards and across from LaLuna, people may not feel loved or lovable at all, so reach out if you can, take that extra step and let someone know you care and they are important. We may also channel our past loves, they might come up in dreams or reality, but Venus retrograde will have reconsidering all facets of love. Won't you be my melancholy baby?

In the last blog, I mentioned that people would be leaving, and indeed they have. I don’t like it, it hurts because we care, but we must remember that life does indeed go on. This is a trip on the Mary-Go-Round though it certainly feels as though the Go Round is on top of us at times in life.

Venus/Aphrodite is all about the love, she emerges up from the depths and on the last day of this month, she will station direct and begin her forward momentum once again at 13* of Capricorn (insert those degrees by cardinal sign here) and you know you are one of those who has been either down in the dumps a bit, feeling a little depressed, weepy or a rider on the storm…into this world being born, for that is also the date of the new moon in Aquarius. Dawning…

Now, She is also opposing Jupiter/Zeus (expansion/higher knowledge/long distance travel) as he is now at 14* of Cancer and ALSO retrograde, we can hear the skies snap, crackle and pop as Zeus pulls back the curtain, the tides in the watery sign of the crab, things may feel as though they are just about to burst…we stand at the precipice of something very big (Jupiter) and he of course is also in a square to Mars/Ares (action/energy/war) and he is moving into exact opposition to Pluto/Hades (Lord of the underworld/that which is buried/death and transformation) and he will oppose him exactly on January 31^st too, uh-oh, do we see this theme of cosmic triggers in the greatest invention of all time, the Wheel. A turning we will go and La Luna will hit up that Cardinal Square on January 23^rd, so those are the dates to pay attention to as we move into the first month of Janus, 2014.

(The big bang theory will really break open the starry globe we live in on April 21st, when Uranus and Pluto form their next square in the series at 13*34' of Aries and Capricorn respectively.)

For now, we must realize that what we choose to manage, remove or begin right now, will either help assist us through those changes or make them all the more difficult to deal with.

Sorry to remind you, that the financial situation is just not going to settle down until the end of next year, as I forecasted at the beginning of the Uranus/Pluto squares, taking big chances is not advisable, but making big decisions is, prepare and move forward.

If you are struggling with your career, home, finances, or actions to move forward now, it will be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel’s back. Now is the time to prepare.

This full moon and the following new moon at the end of the month may very well see those changes take place anyway, with or without your consent or liking.

Squares to Mars/Ares usually dig up the war card in one way or another, and with squares with Venus, Jupiter and Pluto all happening, the sabers will rattle, even as Saturn/El in a lovely trine to the moon and forming a sextile to the sun (ego/identity) and Venus/Aphrodite tries to form a truce and new moneyed interests sit at the table moving around the pieces to see who wins and loses in either scenario.

Neptune/Poseidon is also forming a lovely trine to the head of the dragon, again I stress listening to your dreams, who you are and what you came here to be and do, is whispering to you nightly, pay attention.

Your soul is calling…she is echoing down the halls and reverberating in the inner chamber of your own heart…

Don’t hear the aforementioned as all bad, more the distillation of our very essence, clarity is emerging and will shine brighter than the sun come the end of May. Ganesha is trampling out the vintage where the Grapes of Wrath are stored, as He loosed the faithful lightening of His terrible swift sword, His truth is marching on…

Make sure you are getting enough sleep…and for the paths of Pluto and Mercury digging up the ravaging sickness, you simply must have plenty of Breathing Easy on hand, I cannot imagine even trying to be healthy without this time-tested friend. It is made strong, did I say strong? I meant to say STRONG! With 11 different exquisite essential oils in just the right combination, you have a chance to remain healthy with the terrible flu’s that are busy.

So, stop by: www.arcancient.com and be sure to stock up on both Sleep Angel © and Breathing Easy © to make it through this challenging time.
As always, wishing you well

Hermes Looks Back and Waves Goodbye

Our friend, Hermes as he is known in Greek Mythology and Mercury to the Romans, is often blamed for many things, especially when he goes retrograde; which happens three to four times each year.

What actually is taking place is the slowing down of the planet Mercury’s orbit of the sun, which eventually stops its motion in relation to the earth.
This creates an illusion of moving backwards, similar to what happens when you are sitting in your car at a light, and the car next to you moves forward, giving you the sense that you are moving. The earth would be the moving car and Mercury is the car that is now stopped at the light (sun).

Another analogy I like to use is what happens when you are moving forward in a boat and you stick an oar in the water; the movement of the water as it swishes around the oar which is now moving with the boat and creating its own vortex is what happens energetically with the Mercury Retrograde. I like to use the analogy of water for many things, but especially to help people visualize and understand the movement and force of energy that is not always so visible to the naked eye. If we understand the universe as a living Sea of Life, the movement of the planets and the energy they impart into that sea, may be better understood.

Returning to the oar analogy; think about that movement in the water, swishing and circling ‘around’ the oar. We see the returning of energy. This is what happens with Mercury. All the energy and information/lessons attached to by degree, sign, house and aspect are refocused in our lens and we are given another view/experience to literally, ‘review’ and perhaps make different choices, or become culpable for our previous actions and this includes karmic lessons back as a blast from the past.

If we take that a few layers back and ‘review’ what Mercury or Hermes actually rules over, we find these: Communications, travel, pens, writing, siblings, language, crossroads, cue: “Went Down to the Crossroads” here is a link to Cream with lead Eric Clapton: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-6OWBciRas but the story made most famous is one by Robert Johnson and his trek to the ‘Crossroads’ where he met the devil and ‘traded’ his soul to become a blues guitarist legend.

Commerce is also something that Mercury rules over, trade that all through history creates the infrastructure and roads necessary to transport goods from their point of origin to place of sale or market. Although ‘Pluto/Hades’ rules over treasures, it is Mercury who is given free passage to and from the underworld of Hades, and of course, Hades loves music and Hermes invented the lyre using the shell of a tortoise.

He was given a caduceus or staff from his father Zeus, which in some stories originally were two white ribbons that entwined the herald’s staff and later changed into two serpents.

Zeus also awarded Hermes, a cap with two small wings and a pair of winged sandals when he appointed him as the Divine Herald. This gave Hermes the ability to travel over both land and sea. Zeus also ordered everyone give their utmost respect to Hermes.

Hermes also rules: astronomy, astrology, cleverness, cunning wiles and wit, hospitality, heralds, diplomacy, thievery, persuasion, athletic contests (Olympics), gymnasiums and is given credit as the originator of the sacrifice to the God’s. He is the personal messenger and herald to his father Zeus, the king of the gods.

It is said that he punishes anyone who does not help those asking for directions.

Other Major attributes:
• hodios patron of travelers and wayfarer

• oneiropompus, conductor of dreams.

• poimandres, shepherd of men

• psychopompos, conveyor or conductor of souls and psychogogue, conductor or leader of souls in (or through) the underworld

• the factor of travelling or motion with or without others with respect to the physical landscape, or the landscape of the soul , is the core attribute of the god as messenger and guide

OK, now that we have a bit of a backdrop upon which to draw, let’s go ‘back’ to Mercury Retrograde.

Mercury stations retrograde on June 26^th at 23* of Cancer until he goes direct again on July 20^th at 13*.

This is the second of three retrogrades this year and they are all in water signs, the next one being from October 21 to November 10 in Scorpio.

He will almost manage to form an exact square to Uranus in Aries and opposition to Pluto in Capricorn.

We can expect the usual, computer malfunctioning, dropping pens, paper and pencils, electricity whirligigs, car trouble and miscommunications and misunderstandings.

I could tell you to try and be very clear before signing any agreements, if one were to be so bold at this time, but during a water retrograde, it is just asking for trouble to even try.

Now, if it is something with an ‘RE’ before the task, then by all means go ahead! Re-pairing, Re-wiring, Re-painting, Re-negotiating, etc.

This is also when we get those blasts from the past, like seeing people we haven’t in years or meeting up with people we just seem to already know, they are usually someone from a past life.

In this water retrograde, expect and even look for people from the past to visit your dreams, and perhaps tell you something they didn’t or couldn’t get the chance to tell you in person; they may have already passed over too. The message could be one you have been asking for answers to, so PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR DREAMS!

Now, think of how an object appears different when you look at it through water, the light refracts and skews the dimensions and the location of the object in the water. This is a good analogy to comprehend what happens in communications. Things are just not what they seem. The message may become garbled or muffled, either way we are just not hearing what we thought we heard, so best not to come to any conclusions. Yes, this also pertains to those messages in the dream state, but I would write them down to come back to later, they will have something that will help us put the pieces of the puzzle together and usually these will be more of the returning variety, the view we didn’t or couldn’t see before and that is what we are looking to benefit from during the Mercury retrograde period.

Secrets will have a much shorter life or half-life during this retrograde, since we already have had that long Saturn retrograde in Scorpio while in mutual reception to Pluto/Hades in Capricorn, all that was shuffled under the table will find its way to the surface like a leak that you just can’t fix.

Water will seek its own level and bring up from the depths of that Neptunian/Poseidon Sea (who is also retrograde) the deeper spiritual truths, the kind that were nipping around the periphery of your consciousness and almost within grasp and then popped like a bubble before we could integrate them. The closer Mercury gets to that Uranus square, the closer those insights (ruled by Uranus) will come into our awareness.

Squares can be challenging of course, but they are also what we use to build upon, so after it all comes out in the wash, expect to become much clearer about what and where we want to build our dreams.

Since the retrograde is in Cancer (The moon/home/family) Cancers can expect to be affected the most, followed by all the Cardinal signs: Libra, Capricorn, and Aries as well as where those signs are by house in your own chart, including planets that are aspected too.

With Jupiter having just entered the sign of Cancer too, we can expect a lot of expansion in the water sign and all things Cancer, so it is a good time for family and nurturing ourselves with mother energy.
There could be some slowing of construction and housing during this retrograde period, or the flow of money into the housing market could feel strained, as if the river of loans is drying up.

This is a good time to clean and wash away the past, repair old friendships if our review brings the light of a new perspective or understanding but it may also mean the letting go of those friendships and relationships that are just too hard to hold onto, with all that water pulling those people who have served their purpose away and onto a different river in life. I don’t say that lightly, since I don’t let go of people very easily myself, I take people very deeply into my heart, and it takes an awful lot of hurtful behavior for me not to overlook the transgressions, so even writing that does not come so easy.

Now, since Mercury is in Cancer, expect emotional confusion most of all, but also emotional healing.

I know that may sound contradictory, but that is how this works, the energy gives and takes away.

(I am also writing this during a Mercury Retrograde, so that means I will come back and rewrite this in the future AND it may not be as clear as I would like it to be, she said as she laughed to herself).

Let’s go back to the statue of Mercury looking back: This is what we do best during this time, he wants us to RE-member who we are, the road we have travelled, our hurts and our accomplishments after we successfully negotiated the difficult times, the people we have met along the way and how we treated them, the kindness and the love that we have been blessed with and especially, our ability to laugh, to take things less seriously and find a witty sense of humor about it all.

But we made it through those times, just barely though it may seem, but we made it through.

So, it is compassion we can find now, and soothe our beings with the balm of that love, letting go of the need to do more and to worry about the future.

Kindness goes a long way. Here is where I find POWER in our amazing ability to look back, to remember the times we have had with loved ones we may not be able to see in the physical world anymore, to glean a lesson from the lens of history and turn that into a better fuel and heraldry to turn around and implore the God’s when Mercury goes direct.

It is not the time to march forward; it is the time to bask in the afterglow of the road less travelled.

Happy Trails.

The secret is...I told you I would be adding more to this post ( I always do, so it is best to come back and reread the post's to get all the secret pearls I will cast out along the way).

Unless that is, you are ready to go deeper into the meaning? Would you like to go down to the ‘Crossroads’and meet our friend Hermes? Then knock and the door shall be opened unto you.

The heart is the doorway, the bridal chamber with (4) chambers into the divine abode of Venus or Aphrodite, where one learns true beauty that rises up from the Sea. The Way of the Heart is THE WAY to the TRUTH and the LIGHT that comes from the singular eye. To divine, is to use discernment and trample the Lion (Ego) and the Serpent (consumerism/consumption/lower earthly drives/lust/greed that keep one crawling on the belly for more things that will only turn to dust) and to enter the Bridal Chamber where the male becomes female and the female becomes male. Balance and Harmony reign in the forces of the Divine Charioteer.
This opens into the Thymus. (The mystical colours of the Thymus are purple and deep teal).
Heart Thymus...HearThyMus...Hear…Thy...MUSE...Hearthearthearth…earthearthearth..earth.
Hearth Y Mus...Gather around ye hEARTH and entertain your muses...your teachers stand at the gate of the crossroads...where Hermes stands as the messenger to help you across the river. (Hermes is the ruler over the throat, arms, hands chakra). He is Mercury in Roman symbolism.

Mars Conjunct Saturn in Libra

Hey, we had a new moon in Leo on Friday. That followed something even bigger, the Mars conjunction to Saturn on Wednesday. That is big because it is the start of a 29-30 year cycle. The conjunction of planets is always like a ‘new moon’ cycle, what we seed in the conjunction or conjunctivo (marriage/yoga) is what we plant that will grow into offspring come the full moon of that cycle, and the waning period is the falling away of the detritus of the cycle, or that which we find is not authentic or necessary for our journey after all.

Now, we look at the planets in question: Saturn is the structure or resistance, the form that contains the dimensional version of the lesson. He is the Lord of the rings, the last planet that is visible to the naked eye, ruling the inner planets. He is the old man and time. He is the goat that climbs to the top of the mountain where he rules/lords over what is below and He is El/God of the Hebrew bible and Chronos in Greek Mythology.

He rules the pyramidal structure, corporations, government and as El, rules the Sabbath and Saturn’s day, which is the 7^th day of the week, for rest. He teaches us to govern ourselves or be governed by that which we haven’t learned to rule ourselves. That preparation and work bring freedom, or freedom will be taken away.

When we add Mars into the mix, Mars is action and the warrior. He runs into field without the slightest thought but to overcome. He is the ‘I AM’ of the zodiac, learning about the mundane needs without thought to a higher outcome, just to be victorious. He is where we put energy in our chart and how we use energy or where we focus.

They have teamed up in Libra where Saturn has been travelling back and forth since October of 2009. Libra wants to balance things, and it rules partnerships, relationships and harmony. With Saturn transiting Libra, many lessons have been pulled up regarding partnerships and what a relationship should mean, what is the responsibility of each partner and is it ‘fair’?

This is also true of all relationships, so it is not just about marriage, but each person in relating.

If you are a Libra, you may have gone through a serious amount of struggle, resistance or difficulty of some sort. Depending on where this is in your own natal chart, would be where the emphasis is in your life. It could bring a strengthening or structure to ‘YOU’ and who you are. If you are an Aries, Cancer or Capricorn, this would have also affected you in a larger degree, or if you have planets in those signs.

(If you are Christian, and find this worrisome because it is astrology, then you don’t really know what Christ was teaching and you are missing out on the deeper meanings of scripture. Read what Josephus has to say, or just think about the 12 tribes, the 12 stones in Aaron’s breastplate, the 12 sons of Jacob, 12 loaves of bread, 12 stones, the 12 major systems of the body, the 12 cranial nerves, the 12 months of the year, etc.)

Anyway,

Saturn being resistance (Ohm’s Law, is the measurement of resistance, and Om is the eternal sound of God;) He has been holding back the energy in Libra, removing the ability to move forward with much ease. A restraining order so to speak. He wants you to be sure, that you will move forward in a purer sense of who you are, newly disciplined (disciple) and ready with integrity.

Now Mars comes along and starts ‘ramming’ into the leaden shield of Saturn and pushing him, pushing back the resistance…..and this is the beginning of a new cycle of action together.

The last cycle began in July of 1982 (also in Libra but at 15*), so think back to that time frame and what you were doing, plans you were making into the fullness of that cycle which was in July of 1997.

Now you are starting that cycle again, but with renewed clarity. You will see over time, within months or sooner that you will begin to move forward again in a new way. So pay attention to what you envision for yourself now. Just remember, if you are thinking in terms of ‘things’ you are putting thought and energy into that which turns to dust. Climb the ladder (Jacob’s) a bit higher.

Saturn will enter the sign of Scorpio on October 6, no longer in Libra…..the task master will visit the Scorpion to harness the truth and unbury what has been obscured.

Even though ArcAncient © blends and creams relieve pain, reduce swelling and inflammation, help you to sleep or focus and even assist you if you have the flu or pneumonia (I have healed myself twice from Pneumonia using Breathing Easy©, I go through 1 bottle in 2 days and it takes about a week.)

For me, the most amazing part, has always been the light that is found within using the light that is liquid in the essential (esse: To be or to exist) oils.

This act of anointing helps to find the Christ within, to truly become more Christ-like, and this is what we are each called to do. If you add intention and purpose to anointing yourself, or client, you are ‘witnessing’ each other.

There is no special other than the call to do what is right. You can be assured that all ArcAncient oils and blends are of the highest quality available, bar none.

Just remember, you use them and have your own stories of success of how they have helped you. Share those, the more you share the more you help people in ways that we will never begin to imagine, since it is their own light that is being called to service.

So help people find their light, we need it now.

New classes will start at the end of October. You don’t want to miss them, always new information and relationship to the body and working on the body.

All the best to all of you,

Gloria

Mother and Love New Moon sacred marriage July 2012

Happy New Moon!!!

We have a new moon at 26* of Cancer today, July 18, 2012. This has been a POTENT time frame, filled with friction and angles made from a Mars (ruler of Aries and the first house) now transiting Libra squaring Pluto (ruler of Scorpio and the 8^th. House): which is transiting Capricorn and opposing Uranus, (ruler of Aquarius and the 11^th. House), which is also in a tight square to Pluto.

Now Mars, is action and energy, it is the ruler of war... (the escalation in Syria and the recent bombing in Bulgaria as well as the ongoing massive protests in Mexico, which also are a result of Pluto in Capricorn as examples) but this square is Mars pushing towards Pluto and opposing Uranus. So the energy is like pushing something through and into the ends of a tube like a squeegee, it has to go somewhere and eventually it will burst.

As the moon travelled to meet up with the sun again and go through its darkest time; it opposed and squared the whole shebang on Tuesday and Wednesday and lead up to a NEW place. To get to a new place you must have an ending…..so lots of things wanted attention all of a sudden and clamored for it to seek and find solutions. All of this is a brew keg…..if you had resolution in life, then this would affect you less, but most of the Cardinal signs; Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn would feel the most impact.

Things that you may have swept under the rug or not really dealt with, or expected to have come to their own resolution may have come screaming out of the abyss like a banshee, and the drama and the tension sucks you in like an atom bomb sucking in the air before it blows.

If it isn’t your drama, try not to get pulled in; take a breath and offer little, but most of this kind of drama is so demanding, it refuses to let you escape.

Wherever these transits are by house, is the area of life you will feel this the most.

The solar flares of late have also heated things up and so the fiery tempers got another boost, like the fires burning the southwest, into out of control proportions, so too are people in a hair-trigger mood, so as best we can, walk delicately, meditate, pray and find your balance in a grounded space.

To help you do all this, we have our specials:

Starting today, Thursday July 19, 2012 through until Saturday July 28, 2012; we will have a special on Sleep and Stress Roll ons. Buy 2 Sleep and 2 Stress Roll ons together for $50.00!

Use the Sleep to ground and center, by putting a little dab on both wrists’ and on the bottom of both feet, inhale the wrist’s and relax. This can calm a hysterical person quickly, and it can cool heated tempers, to have everyone get back to a centered and grounded place. This will really work, so do it, if you cannot put it on others, you can at least put it on yourself. Feel the support of the roots deep into the earth carrying light into the darkness.

To use it for ‘sleep’ simply roll liberally on the bottom of both feet, a lot of people are just not getting enough deep sleep right now, so remember to use the sleep to help you recover and restore at night and wake up knowing you had a good night’s sleep. As the day progresses, you will feel yourself becoming more alert and much cooler in the temper department. As anyone knows that has taken a class from me, I always use it on myself and my clients, dabbing my feet and then theirs at the start of the treatment.

Use the stress throughout the day to relieve the tensions of the day or perhaps even what you feel coming from a certain person. Roll it on the wrists, inhale deeply, put it on the base of the neck, rub it in, and you can use this all day long!!!

Don’t stress, roll on the stress angel and lift the tension!!!

Remember, ALL ORDERS MUST BE PAID FOR NO LATER THAN 3PM, Saturday JULY 28, 2012 TO GET THE SPECIAL, NO EXCEPTIONS!!!

With that, start your day today by lighting a candle, taking a deep breath and finding time to really connect with God. If you connect with angels or certain saints, do so now. Set your intentions, what is it you want to achieve this time cycle? This will have to do with a mother, or maternal matter, perhaps the home or what you regard as being your haven.

It is family, and those around us, and who and how we care for each other. It is the earth, in all her glory and lushness, always giving to us what we need to sustain, nourish and support our earthly vessel.

Give yourself a good spa day, sit with your sisters and laugh, be good to each other, remember we are all dealing with life and the stresses of it, often things that others don’t really even know.

Take a good bath, pour some oils from ArcAncient or some of our yummy chakra blends into the bath and luxuriate and relax as you connect just as the water connects all of us and nourishes and cleanses us.

Cancer moons bring up mother and family issues, so by the full moon, expect the results of our actions or inactions to be front and center. This will also be true for the world stage.

Let’s do our part and take care of our own being, be a good mother to your-self!

I will leave you with this:

I swear my dear

no one in the entire world

is as precious as you are...

Look at that mirror

take a good look at yourself

who else is there above and beyond you

now give yourself a kiss

and with sweet whispers

fill your ears to the brim

watch for all that beauty

reflecting from you

and sing a love song to your existence

you can never overdo

praising your own soul

you can never over-pamper your heart

you are both

the lover and the Beloved

the sugar and the sugar cane

who else but you

please tell me who else

can ever take your place

now give yourself a smile

what is the worth of a diamond

if it doesn't smile

How can I ever put a price

on the diamond that you are

you are the entire treasure of the house.

You and your shadow

are forever present in this world

you're that glorious bird of paradise.
