Monday April 27.

The moon is in Virgo so we should be able to get a lot of chores done and in record time! Don’t try to analyze things too much if you have a hectic schedule. Just take things step by step. Everything will get done. Anything started in the 7am hour eastern time should prove to be effective with a positive outcome.


Tuesday April 28

Venus and Uranus in Gemini are tied closely together. Expect the unexpected in love! You could meet the love of your life when you least expect to! This aspect only happens about every 84 years so it’s pretty big! If you are single and looking, get out of the house the next three weeks. You never know who you’ll run into! Also, old flames may resurface out of the blue too. You could hear from childhood friends.The Moon enters Libra early in the morning so it should be a peaceful day.

The moon’s aspects are harmonious and supportive of any connections made. There may be some tension however in the evening but it will pass.

Good times today: 5:17 am, 12:39pm 3:32 pm 3:50 pm

Tension rises at 10:07 pm eastern


Wednesday April 29

You may reconsider a relationship or partnership and finally decide what to do with it. You could also see more clearly if someone is genuine and sincere OR if they are a phony. Fake people will be all around. Also you may run into some toxic energy too. I shared a piece last week about Toxic People. It is worth reading again. I have included a prayer and technique to dispel their energy. It's a little further down in this newsletter. Make sure to share it with friends and family by forwarding this newsletter. I think it will help many.

Toxic People are more apt to show up around 10:24 am, 5:06 pm and 9:31 pm. But watch out all day and throughout the the next few weeks.


Thursday April 30

If you feel things are a bit foggy, this energy won’t last too long. With the Libra Moon still in play, we are more sensitive to disruptions to our nervous system. The moon moves into Scorpio around 3pm eastern time and you will likely feel it building into a peak as we hit the Full Moon tomorrow!

This will be a big full moon so I will be writing about it in the weekend newsletter and hoping to have it out by Thursday night.

Toxic People...

What You

Need to Know

There are people in this world who step into a room and instantly make the air feel heavy. If you are psychic type or an empath you can feel their energy immediately. Trust your gut. Your gut knows when someone’s energy is off.


There are several types of toxic people that will be showing themselves these next few weeks:


1. The Green-Eyed Monster with Hidden Resentment

These people will smile right at you. They’ll speak with a voice like honey. But they’re really thinking: "I hope you fail. That jealousy radiates off them. You can feel that fairness and negative “vibe"


2. The "Dark Cloud" People

They aren’t necessarily "evil," but they are professional victims.

They are always unhappy.

Everything is a struggle.

They complain about everything and everyone.

They sit next to you and suck the life out of you like an energy vampire.


They are experts at the "poor me" routine:


Before you know it, their darkness effects your mood. 

A bad mood is more contagious than a common cold.


3. Rotten at the Core

And then there are those who are just… plain evil and malicious.

Not because they’re angry, but because their souls feed on bitterness.

They celebrate when someone else falls.

They gossip, they slander.

Even if they aren't targeting you personally, just standing near that level of hate messes with you.


Sometimes a person isn't "bad" themselves, but they act as a "Warning Label" for you.

Think of them as a red light at an intersection. The light didn't cause the car crash; it’s just trying to stop you before you get hit.



The Bottom Line

If you feel someone is destroying your energy—stop tolerating it.

You don’t have to prove you’re a "good person" to someone who is walking all over you.


Your astrology chart can tell you so much about these toxic people in your life. If you want to dig a little deeper into this, I am doing one question readings on this topic that answer the following questions:


1) Who they are based on birth signs

2) What area of your life they tend to show up in

3) Specific times of your life they are most detrimental to your well being so you can be prepared.


Here’s something you need to do to protect yourself.


We are talking about protecting your psychic door.

But first, know There are 13 points on the human body where energies can enter like that of toxic people…this accordng to chinese ancient medicine.


At the base of your skull, in the soft hollow is a point, the ancients called ghost forest. In older times, this is the point where shamans and exorcists would work on to expel entities.


It is a doorway and can be entered by exterior influences, anxiety, group thinking, the news, and toxic people…all can find their way through this point. A direct blow to this location can cause physical death. Do not leave this part of your body unguarded. Keep it safe.


Locate this soft impression and maybe place a gemstone on that area just for a moment and massage it in. Or for those of you who have the Psychic Door protection oil from last week’s specials, just dab a little on your finger and massage it.


How do you know if something is interfering with your energy field?


It usually shows up as a disruption in your physical body. You are tired, exhausted, your brain is foggy, one problem after another happens to you.


There is a prayer you can do to release that energy….. 


Place your hand the psychic door and put the Psychic Door oil on. As you say the prayer, massage it in.


“From the divine love of God that flows within me, whatever is in my auric field that is interfering with my free will and choice, I release now. 


Whether it is there with or without my permission, I command in the name of the creator and the divine love that flows within my being, that it goes to the nuclease of its being and I command this now…I command it to be transmitted into divine love. I no longer hold onto any unwanted or unneeded energy. Amen.”


You can ask God/Spirit anytime you feel something or someone has been connecting or messing with your energy. Just hold your hand at the door and visualize white light and if you have the oil, massage it in. The bundle comes with a gemstone protection bracelet too.


We will ship one of the following to you: ice obsidian or red tiger eye or rain forest rhyolite. When we run out of those, we will send another protection bracelet of our choosing.


ORDER HERE


Remember, The Universe always speaks to us. First, it whispers. Then, it starts to shout. And if you don’t hear the whisper… you will get a huge wake up call.

Your astrology chart can tell you so much about these toxic people in your life. I can do a one question reading for you and answer the following questions:

1) Who they are based on birth signs

2) What area of your life they tend to show up in

3) Specific times of your life they are most detrimental to your well being so you can be prepared.

4) And anything else I may see in your astrology chart that helps me guide you to dealing effectively with negative people.

Ancient Runes

Vikings believed in the magical power of runes.

Each rune holds a unique meaning, that can shed some light onto a person’s life path.


The foundation of runic astrology comes an ancient Germanic runic alphabet used by the cultures of old—namely the vikings.


It had 24 symbols, each representing a cosmic force, natural element, or divine influence. 


In Norse mythology, the god Odin offered himself up to find the mystical power of the runes.

According to legend, he hung onto the World Tree, for nine days and nights, and was taught the knowledge of the runes by the gods as a gift to humanity.


For vikings, runes were not just letters. They were holy symbols of fate, which could influence the course of life.

If you are trying to enhance something in your life, you should choose a rune that correponds to what you want to bring in.


We started carrying the viking rune gemstone bracelets last week and had a lot of these but now are down to a few in each lot and some of the lots have already sold out so if you see something you like, please order right away.

For every bracelet you purchase, I will send you anther gemstone of my choosing for free.

Viking Rune Meanings


Don't just pick a design

Pick a purpose.

The symbols of each Rune hold centuries of meanings; drawing in good things when you wear them.



Uruz - For Strength

Algiz - For Defense and Protection, wards off evil

Ansuz - For Wisdom, good health, extreme intuition manifesting quickly. This is the rune of Odin, the chief god of wisdom.

Nauthiz - Strength, endurance

Ingwaz- Interntal power, strength over enemies, positive shifts

Isa - Removes challenges and blocks

Mannaz - Protects against enemies, negativity and toxic people

Sowilo - Success and goals

Jera - Peace and prosperity, attain goals

Gebo - Love, marriage and positive relationships

Othala - Family karma, healing























TWO MINUTE MIRACLE

By Maria Shaw


Most people book a reading with me when they are confused, conflicted or want to change their life. They are often waiting for their astrology charts to show a shift in planetary energy, challenging aspects to lift and blessings to arrive.


I will give them the cosmic timings but I often go a step further and give them advice on how they control their own destiny rather than relying just on the moon and the stars. Although astrology is a useful tool to growth and understanding, I show them how to tap into their personal energy to shift and change things.


Today, I will share what I do when I manifest. My goals do not take weeks or months to unfold any longer. They happen within 24 hours or less.


The first thing when you wake up, I want you to “speak” your day". Before the world takes a hold of your mind and tries to lead you out into a chaotic world, you need to stop that pattern and state out loud what you’re calling in for the day ahead. It can be whatever you choose; happiness, joy, perfect health, blessings, safe travels, money, prosperity and more.


Two minutes of YOUR spoken intention can literally rewrite energy and the signals you emit throughout your day. 


If you can do its for just a few minutes, this intentional act, drops you out of a repetitive loop. It rewires your nervous system as soon as you wake up.



My Two Minute Daily Miracle Ritual


I was very diligent with my technique because it didn’t take much effort and I saw results immediately.

What I have personally found, is that every morning I use this technique, I have a great day with wonderful experiences, life runs smoothly with little effort and things seem to fall easily into place. 


I also have noticed that I am in a joyful mood ALL day and blessings pop up unexpectedly. On some level, I still question from time to time, if the positive vibes will continue and if I will get the results I seek. But it’s proven itself over time so now I anticipate my day to materialize as I direct it to.


I call this technique “Speak Your Day” and I want to share it with you so you can experience miracles each and every day too.



Here’s My Formula


1.) Once you wake up in the morning, do not jump out of bed. Do not speak one word. Do not pick up your phone. Don’t even get out of bed to use the bathroom.


2.) The first thing you should do is stay silent for a minute or two. 


3.) Then state out loud how the day ahead will manifest for you.

For example, I usually start with “Today, my day will be warm and sunny. I am very healthy. I feel good physically and emotionally. I am happy all day long and full of joy."


Then I usually list chores and tasks I wish to accomplish. If I am traveling, I ask for safe traveling mercies. If I have a lot on my plate and hectic deadlines, I completely change the energy of any challenging expectation to a calmer one.


I usually then set goals for the day.

“My website store has sales of such and such. Clients will be pleased with everything they order. ”


If I have plans for something special, I list those things to have the very best outcomes.

I used this technique during the last Mercury Retrograde and had no issues or delays once I started the daily process.

When the TSA shutdown happened at the airport, I declared I wished to be first in lane and get through security in record time. I arrived and was first in line!


I end my conversation and say I am thankful for this beautiful day and that everything is turning out for my highest good.


I do not want other energy to affect how my day will go. If I don’t speak my day, then I have given an outside energy or the environment permission to control it. That’s another reason you do not turn the TV news on right away when you get up or scroll your phone. You don’t want any influences other than your own positive thoughts and words to shape your day’s starting point!


And remember, if you don’t speak your day first, you’re at the mercy of somebody else’s words or energy whether they are positive or negative.



I have created a Speak Your Day Disk


My “Speak Your Day” Disks are energy tools for spiritual alignment, to help you reach a higher frequency and set intentions for your day ahead. 



You can actually use it anytime you manifest at anytime of the day. But I suggest you leave it on your nightstand and reach for it every morning when you wake up. 



Instructions:

Place your left thumb over the left side of the Yin Yang symbol and your right thumb on the right side and state out loud

“Today is a wonderful and prosperous day. This is how my day unfolds…”


Then speak about everything you want for the day ahead. Just have a conversation between yourself and the universe about it.


If your need is money, move your left thumb to the money symbol and hold it there as you talk about the money while keeping your right thumb on the Yin Yang symbol. You can be very specific with your intention. 


For example: If you have an interview today, say something like, " I receive a job offer with more than I was asking for, big perks, a great work environment, a good boss and freedom.”


For instance, if you are seeking a new relationship, put one thumb on the Heart symbol and your other thumb on the Butterfly symbol.



Symbol Guide

Heart: Love, affection, emotion and romance

When you are done speaking your day, place both thumbs back on the Yin Yang symbol, to seal the intentions in. Say “Thank You God/Universe."


All of the positive uplifting symbols are placed in this never ending circle. They are constantly lifting your vibration and intentions.



Use the symbols on the Disk intuitively as to what you feel coordinates best with your intentions for the day. You can make as many wishes as you like.

The Solar Return

Your Magic Moment Happens Once Every Year

Each year there is a magical moment that occurs at a specific time around your birthday. If you know the exact minute it occurs, you can tap into a powerful energy and make magic happen in your life for an entire year.

It’s called your Solar Return. It’s when the transiting sun comes back to the exact placement/degree as the moment you were born. This is your REAL birthday astrologically speaking.



Your Solar Return also represents a picture of your entire year ahead. It’s like a map of what’s to come. The exact magic moment is different each year and is based on the location you spend your birthday that specific year. Once it is calculated, you must plan to do something to harness the energy of that magnificent energy.


I can send your solar return report and give you your magic moment time. I will need you birthday, time and city as well as where you will be for your upcoming birthday.


The report is about 18 to 22 pages long and tells you what to expect for your year ahead plus your magic moment time so you will know when to do your affirmation work. Get it free when you order the Cards of Destiny now and I'll have your report back today!

If you don’t feel

like a Baby Boomer, astrology can explain why


The majority of people don’t know it, but the division of people into generations is really based on astrology. The Baby Boomers, for instance, are loosely tied to the post-war period between 1946 and 1964. However, as I wrote a few years ago, there is a huge difference between the early boomers, with Pluto in Leo, and the late b[l]oomers, who were born after 1956 with Pluto in Virgo.

0

A recent New York Times article pleads “Don’t call me a Baby Boomer“

This year the youngest of the baby boomers — the youngest, mind you — turn 60. But they aren’t what people usually have in mind when they talk about boomers. They mean the earlyboomers, the postwar cohort, most of them now in their 70s —not the later boomers, labeled “Generation Jones” by the writer Jonathan Pontell.

The boom generation really has two distinct halves, which in my mind I call Boomer Classic and Boomer Reboot. 


(The differences between them have to do, not surprisingly, with sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll — and economics and war. For a wide-ranging set of attitudes and cultural references, it matters whether you were a child in the 1940s and ‘50s, or in the 1960s and ‘70s. And it probably matters even more whether you reached adulthood before or after the early ‘70s, a time of head-spinning changes with long-term consequences for families, careers and even survival.


Perhaps valid correlations can be made with the cultural references with which you grew up, but these differences identified by the author as the dividing line between early and late boomers can be traced right back to the difference between Leo and Virgo. Leo is all about development and celebration of the self – pleasure and creative self-expression. 


 Each sign reacts to the one immediately before it, so when Pluto moved into Virgo there was a reaction against the self-involvement of the Leo generation and a move towards service and self-sacrifice. Where Pluto in Leo is idealistic (Leo) and ready to destroy (Pluto) for those ideals, Virgo tends to lack passion and be more pragmatic. As this author writes, ” I remember, as a teenager, seeing old footage of the riots outside the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago, and thinking, “People my age don’t feel that strongly about anything.” Virgo doesn’t believe; instead it is pragmatic and deals with life as it comes, seeking safety and security rather than the big dramatic views that Leo inspires


Economics are another big disparity between the two generations. The Leo generation grew up in post-war prosperity, often discarding it with great glee to live in communal situations or other alternative communities. The Pluto in Virgo generation grew up in Jimmy Carter’s malaise – a period where there was little inspiration and a great deal of worry, a quality strongly associated with Virgo. 

These Boomers are those born with Pluto in Virgo (after October of 1956), and their generation has been marked by a strong resentment to those who came directly before them. This is no surprise, because Virgo doesn’t like Leo much. Where Leo seeks the spotlight and takes center stage, demanding attention and adoration, Virgo is selfless and service-oriented and seeks only to serve others and live a life that is safe and orderly. The sign that Pluto falls in typically doesn’t express our individual personality but it does reflect who we are as a generation.


The Leo nature doesn’t have much thought for the future – it is anchored in the present and a need for pleasure and fun. Virgo, on the other hand, has a tendency to worry about the adequacy of available funds and planning for the future. Where Virgo is willing to work long hours toward a goal, Leo is more concerned with doing work that will allow the fullest expression of oneself. Where Leo seeks to express the Ego in the most perfect way, Virgo has an intense dislike of Ego expression, and herein lies the deepest difficulty between the two generations.

Understanding the astrology behind the cycles of life adds a dimension of understanding that is not otherwise possible.
