METAMORPHOSIS

Picture a closed circle and then place yourself at the top. Metaphorically. this is where you are or where you are about to be. The circle represents a situation, possibly a relationship that is coming to an end or a job or something being played out on the national stage. Your placement on top of the circle requires a decision about which direction to go or what to do next. If you decide to stay where you are, the atmosphere will only get more intense, sending off signals of "the end" until you get the message. With a closed circle, you can't go back or hold onto what was. It shall be done and over!

Everyone is frantic, as though they're sitting on a tinder box, holding the hands over the ears and eyes, and trying to balance on top of this circle. It's precarious and it brings up fears and insecurities that can overload your nervous system. But the separation from the old life to the new has begun and it will continue to challenge you on every level.

Let me put it another way: You know the old saying, "When one door closes, another opens." Well, doors are slamming all around you. You can jump up and down and shake your fist at all the doors you want. The signs say "closed" or "Gone Fishin'." We're in the thick of it now and there's no turning back as we shall soon leave our status quo positions as new energy shall connect with us soon. Perhaps all your fogginess shall leave as well giving you new clarity in regards with what to do next.

So now it is up to you. Make a decision. Think about what you want. If you still don't know, you still have to pick a direction and start moving towards something. Don't worry about mistakes. Do your best to let go of the fear and resistance. Metamorphosis is a transition, a kind of death and rebirth. If death doesn't occur, neither does the rebirth.

As part of this process, your ability to manifest is accelerating and this potential is going to be of enormous assistance. It is extremely important to pay attention to your thoughts and what you are drawing to you. Is it some apocalyptic war, global or personal? Are you working in the light, letting go of the old life and what no longer serves you, and visualizing that what is ahead of you consists of many blessings? Join with like-minded people, those that may help you to stay calm and clear. Continue to do the housekeeping of letting go of what no longer serves your highest self.

There will be more and greater separation between those who remain on the top of the closed circle and those who make the choice to move forward. It's going to be more and more dramatic. There are many challenges ahead and some of them could be hairy. This is not a difference between those that "have" and those that "have not." It is between those who stay in the old world and those who move into the new. Trust your inner intuition , continue to develop clarity of the mind and spirit, and begin to use the potential to manifest well and wisely.

It is time to come into this new age or.....maybe wait for the next space ship to land and go for it!!

WE THINK ABOUT MONEY THESE DAY, BUT WHERE IS LOVE?

There's nothing wrong with celebrating Valentine's Day. I'm in favor of it. But like other holiday's, it comes with pressure to give to others by spending money and the feeling that, somehow, you fall short if you don't. Some 150 million Valentine's Day
cards are sent annually, making this day the second most popular card-sending holiday, after Christmas.

I can remember making Valentine's Day cards when I was a child, with anticipation of exchanging them with my latest crush, or receiving a card from a mystery Valentine's which was incredibibly exciting. There was a heartfelt innocence about all that as I and others gravitated toward our first relationships, giggling and blushing, with few cares in the world. We did not try to control anything but, what was believed to be real...was real! The idea that Valentine's Day was big business and getting bigger every year was far, far away in another galaxy.

Flash forward to today and the consuming thoughts of having more money, needing more money, not having enough money, praying for it, scraping by, the energy we have attached to the man made paper dollar has certainly shifted our feelings of love and taken away some of the thrills and fun that could always lift our spirits in days gone by. It has been said that
"money is the root of all evil," and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that so much focus on it has taken away some of the simple pleasures of life and love.
"MONEY, IN SHORT, IS THE MOTHER OF ALL CONSPIRACIES. In contrast to that, God's direction--Universal Law---is very simple: LOVE IS EVERYTHING.

Love is the chemical cocktail of the laws of attraction. Maybe it doesn't pay the bills but it can sure make life worth living in ways that money never will. Our quality of life isn't all about money and our fixation on the marketplace pales in comparison to the exchange of the energy of LOVE. Giving and receiving it enriches us, fills us with light and happiness and boosts power, spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally. It is the key ingredient in the practice of manifestation. So, while there's nothing wrong with Valentine's Day, why do we set aside only one day to express our love? Saying ''I LOVE YOU" to someone everyday, and meaning it, doesn't cost a penny and moves a powerful energy in your life, more powerful than anything in the Universe.


*To all my clients who support my column
My words have not always been solemn
Sometime light, sometimes dark, their true meaning,
is meant to clear your mind and fill your heart
So...in honor of this Valentine's Day, I'm hoping that
LOVE DOES COME YOUR WAY~~~~ everyday...


"Young love is a flame, very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering.
The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep burning, unquenchable."

---Henry Ward Beecher

THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR EACH SUN SIGN

As we set about a New Year, we can look forward to the heavens for what will be the primary focuses in our lives. So many factors, including the full placement of planets at the time of your birth and your numerological patterns will give you specific courses, but here are some very general things to be on the lookout for:


ARIES.......... Whether certain energies you feel are owed to you from past employment or opportunities you've been denied, you are not so patient currently. The wait for money shall come to a profitable end this year. Your talents will finally start to be recognized and more opportunities will open as a result. You will still have to be a good salesperson, doing what it takes to get these prizes, and satisfaction in your life. Travel associated with career and fun time will be highlighted this year as well. It is the birthday of self-reliance.

TAURUS......You, being a natural caretaker, this year, will focus on long term finances and children.(as well as the other people you help). Specifically, it boils down to being concerned with you, your own stability, future and even happiness. Certain health issues are moving past you as well giving you more room to heal and grow with your destiny to make the world a happier and more productive place. Your honesty shall be rewarded and to understand your inner conflicts better. You got it all!

GEMINI......Intelligent, quick-witted Gemini's will shift more from their headiness to reflect more on their emotional side. This is a new feeling and sensation for many of you as emotions slow down the decision making speed you are known for, but, it will be rewarding. You now must be patient for development during this healing time from relationships. Boosting finances are the Headlines but being fun-filled, the action can slow down so you can take care of all your obligations and people who need you. Perhaps, you will find out what you want but glamour, magic and flair will come to any enterprise you are involved in.


CANCER......You are always going through a maddening lifestyle with emotional issues dealing with self-inflicted confusion and perhaps the feelings of lost opportunities. Now is the time to make a decision to shift away from these emotional issues (you really do know better) and just focus on your immediate future as you do know what you want. Do not let your insecurities slow you down. Don't self medicate.as drinking, drugs overeating or with overspending as it dulls the senses and reinforces your insecurities. However, this is a budding year for happy relationships, career and new developments. Start taking control of what you can control. Arguments with family members will start to subside because you stop fighting. Careful that your energetic fortitude does not burn you out..

LEO..........Get out of thinking about the past and how great it was and could have been. Ambition will emerge once again as career and finances shall improve with new thinking. Don't complicate matters. In fact it's a good time to get more training or certification. Train for new trends and new doors will open. You can be the biggest powerhouse in the world as you have so many talents. Get your mojo going again and head out!! You are going to act, direct and scriptwrite your future with your energetic personality to take you to the top of your game.

VIRGO......You always do everything step by step. You won't listen to anyone and take a shortcut on anything. Oh well, play your own game but....have you decided you had enough?
Stop worrying about every single thing and move on making bigger moves to happiness without wanting to be the shadow behind others. Taking orders is what you hate. So, when you come out to shine....you will say to yourself, How did I ever get this way and put myself in this position.
Creating more abundance for yourself will open your heart to romance as it is knocking.

LIBRA........You are so good at thinking and tiring yourself, now is the time to work out and through what's on your mind. Take care of legal matters, insurances and the practical. You will stop analyzing and start applying yourself to the basics at hand. You will find yourself accomplishing more by making fine adjustments than by weighing every option. Travels, music and artsy things are good for your lifestyle so stop complaining. You have the birthday of the "overseer". Your destiny is to institute practical and innovative strategies and you could be a born leader.

SCORPIO.....Overwhelmed?? Don't want to be where you were and are? Survival matters and finances are the main concerns (also health issues and fatigue) Starting your new future this year takes more planning but it shall come in the industry you enjoy working in.
Feeling a sense of romance will lift your spirits immensely and arouse your inner self to know your worth. Just get into feeling sexy again.

SAGITTARIUS....Are you ridding yourself of some things you have put great energy or your resources towards? Some relationships are leaving because your vibrations are not matching up any longer. It is more of a feeling of outgrowing something. Sag's are great teachers as well as problem solvers and mostly their cheerful optimism makes them firm believers that every story has a happy ending. That's not always true, so stop trying to make it so. Many of your pressures will end mid-year. Make yourself feel good and party with people you like hanging with. It's not hard to do cause it seems there's a party anywhere a Sag is!

CAPRICORN.....You too are born caretakers with family, financial and business matters. You are the Wall Street Blue Chips in the skies. This year you will gain deeper insights of how your life has changed and even your priorities. Coming through immense stress, financial and other things, do not let it affect your health with things like high blood pressure or mental stress. This year shall be the start to new, great and different beginnings. (perhaps a mystery as it fills in?)
Don't worry as there is a refreshing new spin coming your way. However, remain prudent in money matters as career situations change. You can become a great visionary..so believe in yoursef~

AQUARIUS......You have allowed guilt and insecurity to get in the way of true happiness. Stop worrying about your health as stress just makes things worse . Stop making heroes out of your old friends. You will be seeing them for who they are but don't let their shortcomings drag you down. Quality time will improve and reset your energies in a good place. Worry about family situations will diminish and new people will come into your life in-line with your true energy.
Your creative mind will flourish especially when you work alone. You are a charmer and born technician of sorts but creative determination this year could help you begin to leap over the top.

PISCES.........You are exhausted with your responsibilities and old pressures piling up. Lay back now as richer, fuller days are ahead. You shall begin seeing acknowledgement of your expertise, which has been overdue. The doors of greater purpose and fulfillment are opening. You're re-writing the past and getting ready for today's script. Keep things simple for now as you are currently seeking balance your inner and outer world. Seize the new opportunities that shall come your way.
Somehow your family members will survive without your input or help.


CARRY ON PEOPLE, WE ARE ALL FEELING THE CHANGE OF NEW ENERGIES COMING OUR WAY..
FORWARD HO!

Predictions for 2012

In "All about Eve", Bette Davis said, Fasten your seat belts, we're in for a bumpy ride" and that seems to be the same tone for 2012. Though much has been said about 2012 being the year of Armageddon, the world will not end in fiery destruction. We have however, reached the completion of a celestial cycle, 26,000 years in the making. Being at this zero point, the world is perched to take a new direction, either for the better or the worse.

The overriding message is to be aware, prepared and involved in bringing forth a new era that will last for generations. The turmoil being experienced globally is all part of this pattern. It seems as though nature itself is trying to find balance in this most unique time. Yes, it will be about balance and harmonizing our lives and finding new ventures and new roads and changing patterns to cross.

The year will be marked by discovery as many secrets and truths, both good and bad, will come into light. This will force us to re-examine our long held views on government and systems. Indeed, there may even be some consideration of re-writing our own Constitution in the years 2015 and 2016. Currently, our government is moving to taking over health care and the distribution of pharmaceuticals and this will be the topic of many heated arguments. The stock market and banking systems will continue on a spiky ride, as balancing global markets and again the hidden truths of the past will come into light. We will see more and many self start-up businesses, popping up all over the world while several large corporations will also merge. The U.S. MUST get a handle on these economic situations, or things will get grim financially by 2015


Corporations, not just the government will take over the poorer populace and we will have to live under their rules and regulations. Many banks can fail as new government regulations have to happen. Will we be led to follow a new banking system? hmm

The outlook for the upcoming election can look at first very close especially at the time of this writing, but President Obama has good chance of a second term . Either way, the candidate with the most active supporters will prevail and how they present themselves on T.V.



On a more positive note, the revelation of truths will witness the development of more effective drugs for serious illnesses like Cancer and more in the way of future technology.

The "Tea Party" movement, the "Occupy Wall Street" movement, and the Internet communities being formed are leading indicators of a trend to more protesting and assembly. People are uncomfortable and want a change, even though it's hard for them to meld many different requests into one battle cry. These combined voices is expression of people feeling the influence this global energy which is the forefront of a new epoch. A change in consciousness will blow peoples mind not through revolution but ideology as group consciousness will shift into light, love, the gathering of harmony and truths. Peoples new visions will clear as the veil they use to see through was an illusion. So, with just our strengths to ride all this corruption through, we are raising our frequencies to a higher dimension to escape the worlds situations. Why don't you lift your energies by believing YOU can create your own passage through these times by remaining focased on your own wishes and not of earthly events?? The media and what they write and say on T.V. can keep you grounded in fear.


We are experiencing as well the shifting of earths energies. We have seen increased and stronger earthquakes, tornadoes and volcanic eruptions and there shall be more before mid-year. The shifting of the ground beneath effects electromagnetic fields which seems to be felt by all. We are much like migratory flock animals, seeming to be driven by need to assemble and change. The weather will be changeable and it seems that the most severe storms will wait until until February and March. We have seen the power is effected and response time for a cash strapped government, so the advise here is as it is in every aspect of your life. BE PREPARED! Keep extra Batteries, flashlights and cash handy (ATM'S and gas pumps don't work in a power outage) Keep non perishables, easy to prepare foods; like rice, tuna, cereals and peanut butter on hand. Just think of what you would do if you were like the Hurricane Irene victims left without power for nearly 10 days.

The economy and perhaps the seeking of comfort is driving more people to return to the parent's homes or create new communal style living arrangements. This is creating more homes on the market and a great opportunity for home buyers in mid-spring and summer.

It is also due in part to shifting earth energies. We have seen increased and stronger earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and there will be more, especially in South America. The shifting of the ground beneath, effects electromagnetic fields which seems to be felt instinctively by all. We are much like migratory flock animals, seeming to be driven by the need to assemble and change.


The weather will be changeable and it seems that most severe storms will wait until February and March. We have seen the way power is effective and response time for a cash strapped government, so the here is as it in every aspect of your life. BE PREPARED! Keep extra batteries and flashlights on hand. Keep cash handy, (AT M's and gas pumps do not work during a power outage) Keep non perishable, easy to prepare foods, like rice, tuna, cereal, and peanut butter on hand. What would you do if you were like the Hurricane Irene victims, left without power for nearly 10 days.

There is the clear opportunity for a positive new beginning, but just like cleaning out the garage, it won't come without a few aches and pains. The Bible says the meek shall inherit the earth and it will be the job of all the small voices to join together. Remember Horton Hears a Who? Their world was about to be boiled in oil, but was saved when they put their differences aside and joined forces. Remain alert, follow your heart, and realize that all this started 26,000 years ago, so don't expect to have it all make sense.

There are 12 signs in the Zodiac. For a brief description of the main patterns of your upcoming year look to my next web/blog. As we set about a New Year, we can look to the heaven's for what will be the primary focus in our lives for each sign and a general brief statement on what will be predicted for each Sun sign . ~~~~~~~~~~~~``

MY HOLIDAY MIRACLE

This feels like the right time to share a couple of personal stories about two of my grandchildren. The holidays being upon us, closing out the year and welcoming a new one, are part of the reason. Another reason is that many clients have been telling me about loved ones being sick and dying. We all cry many tears when dealing with our feelings about the departed, and I tell my clients that it's much more difficult to be the one left behind. For those who are moving on, there is joy when they fully enter into their transition. My clients ask a lot of questions in their search for comfort. Are they alright? Are they aware that we love them? Can they see or hear us where they are?

Sometime after my husband died and my granddaughter was about two- years- old, my daughter and I took her to lunch at Friendly's Restaurant. As were leaving, she was given a few balloons to take home. The window was open in the back of the car where she was strapped into her car seat, and the balloons got blown out of the window. We watched them floating up into the sky and as my granddaughter wiped her tears away, she said: "That's okay mommy, don't worry, grandpa is here and he now has the toys I sent him." My jaw dropped because she had never met her grandfather. He had died before she was born. And then I smiled at how beautiful these connections can be.

The other story is recent, and now I think of it as MY HOLIDAY MIRACLE. My nine-year-old grandson was given an assignment to write a school paper about the most unforgettable thing that ever happened to him and something he would never forget as long as he lived. This is what he wrote:

WHEN I SAW MY GRANDPA'S SPIRIT

"One day when I was 3 years old, I just moved into my new house. My Mom and Dad were still unpacking. I was sitting in my den, watching "Dora the Explorer."
It was the middle of the episode. Right then I looked to my right and saw my dead Grandpa's spirit looking right at me. My heart was racing. It was probably beating 20 times per second. I looked at him for 3 seconds and then screamed as loud as I could. I ran as fast as I could and think I never ran faster in my life. Once I got to my Mom, I said, I saw someone. Come look, there is a man in the den.

Later on my Mom showed me pictures and she showed me a picture of my dead Grandfather. I was yelling..yes, yes, that's him !

After that my Mom told me about how he died before I was born. He was a baseball player just like me. Our birthdays are around the same time.

I will never forget the day I saw my Grandfather's spirit."

[The teacher's comment: "Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this story. Try to include more details about how you were feeling and what you were thinking, but it was well written."}

I love the fact that my grandchildren felt free enough to share their experiences. Young children do see, hear and feel so much more than parents may be aware of. Imagine how amazing it would be if we nutured this potential in children. Wow.. the things they could teach us! I FEEL BLESSED.....

Whether or not you believe in the ability of Mediums to talk to the dead, a good Medium's honest communication can bring comfort to those who may be left wondering how their loved ones are, where they are, etc. A message from someone who had died can help those who mourn to move on. We all have a transition to make. These kinds of communications can bring comfort, lessen our fears and bring us closer to knowing that the soul is endless and enduring, and is always able to find the way home, to source.


Peace be with you, one and all......and with all good wishes for a Happy New Year!!

YOU HAVE ENEMIES? GOOD...
THAT MEANS YOU'VE STOOD UP FOR SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE.

... Winston Churchill ...
(1874-1965)

WHAT DO YOU VALUE?

Being a clairvoyant isn't just a sweetness and light undertaking. There are times I am called upon to deliver news that a client might dread. It's easy to share good news; a lot less fun to tell clients what they don't want to hear or what they may fear. What I see or hear or sense isn't always pretty. Because clairvoyance doesn't always have an "off" switch---although I can push what I perceive to the side---I am receiving information no matter where I am or what I am doing.

I just returned from a "mental health" vacation in Florida. My favorite Aunt lives there and she and the lovely man in her life kept me busy and fully entertained. The trip was fun and I had a good rest, but I also felt concern about some of the things I "perceived". I don't think I've ever seen so many people walking around like zombies. Whether we were in a restaurant or sitting in a club listening to jazz music or out in the street, people walked by in a state of weird emptiness, almost as though they were invisable, transparent, similar in appearance to the way I see discarnates. Energetically, they were ashen in color and texture. There are always a few people like this in a crowd, but I have to say that I was stunned by how many I saw. I could also perceive that some were processing on-going situations, others were concentrating on the past, but most were thinking about what they were going to do next. Is this a Florida thing? No, it is happening all over. Some were nasty, or just placid and quiet. Are things so horrific for people in general that they are becoming more and more absent? Is it the question, "What do I do next?" it is so overwhelming that it's overloading the circuits around the globe.
(WOW, AM I SEEING DIFFERENT!)

I kept my own circle of people close around me because I felt vibrant life there. I spent time on the beaach letting the wind blow and cleanse away the heavy energy. I was sensing outside the circle. At the same time, because this whole thing was so unusual, once my eyes were open to it.
I gave a lot of thought to what might be going on with people that would make them appear as thought they are literally fading out.

I thought about what kind of value system each of us has in place---the principles that guide one's personal behavior--and how the people handle crises and stress. And I thought about what people value, what they care about the most. If we are being honest, the sad truth is that for too many people it all boils down to wealth, power and sex.


So what is your value system? It can be about life's trivial things, or..... it can be about yourself only and what you require only for yourself...would a big income, big car, big house make you happy? Someone else would say...too big a mortgage, and where would I go with a big car, lack of income. Someone else would say, who needs all that stuff as I just want to play. Play could also be a burden especially if you run out of people to play with. On the other hand, some like to be work at discovering new things and they move forward with their interests ..they are motivated enough and just expect finances will flow when needed and don't think about it. Remember, when you choose a job you love, you don't have to work a day in your life.
We have been programed and bombard by the message that these things are needed to make you happy and fulfilled.

Those who move forward with genuine curiosity about what's ahead, with a sense of excitement that all things are possible, will vibrate in that energy and act as a magnet to others. It also requires an open heart. Nothing will please you if your heart isn't open enough to receive. Without these things, life becomes stagnant depression and emptiness set in and, for some, the fading will continue.

Earth has been going through many shifts and changes, and they are accelerating. Crisis and the breaking down of old forms is acting as a major catalyst for evolutionary growth. Are you buzzed about it? On which side of the fence are you standing? Some are living examples of the beautiful process of moving to a higher vibration. Others see "Doomsday" ahead. Maybe so, for some.. (hmm) I have no intentiion of preparing any apocalyptic last will and testament because from where I stand all things are possible. The chaos everyone feels now can indicate new opportunities. They may be unfamiliar, even completely unrecognizable, but they are there.

* THE HEART MUST BE OPEN TO RECEIVING
* BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS
* THE ENERGY YOU PROJECT DEFINES WHAT COMES BACK TO YOU
* AS PEOPLE WAKE UP FROM THEIR DREAM STATE, FROM THE STATE OF FADING, THE MORE THE FIELD WILL BE CHARGED WITH NEW ENERGY
* ALL IS ENERGY. KNOW THAT, EMBRACE IT AND LIVE IT
* NOTHING CAN HEAL UNTIL THE PAIN COMES TO THE SURFACE AND IS RELEASED

The years ahead, beginning in a big way with 2012, will provide many opportunities to respond to the wake-up call. Spend some time this Holiday Season really considering what you value most!!!!

Blessings
