Big News for May


Pluto will turn retrograde May 6 until October. This is the planet of deep transformation, secrets revealed and power struggles. Anyone who has planets between zero and ten degrees is feeling something in their life could get messy. The people most affected are( or with rising and moon signs):


Taurus

Cancer

Leo

Scorpio

Aquarius


Whatever you’re dealing with, won’t be settled or start to move forward until mid June after the Pluto station. Stay strong and deal with what you can. You cannot change anything at the moment so find other avenues to focus energy on that you enjoy, so you don’t feel out of control. Some stuff you're dealing with is pretty heavy.

In some cases, you need to let go of something in order to evolve.


On a positive note this energy is extremely powerful. It can be used for manifesting great things but only in the context of letting something go, so something new can be born. I will have a longer article on this further down in the newsletter. I urge everyone to read this no matter what sign you are, especially if you are sensing this because you may not know it, but you likely have triggers in your own chart.


Coming up

Taurus New Super Moon on May 16

A SuperMoon occurs when the Moon is at its closest point to Earth. Because the Moon governs our emotions, we may experience heightened intuition and feelings under this SuperMoon. Usually we think of Full Moons as highly charged, but the Super New Moons can be just as potent and incredibly powerful for manifesting.


At the Taurus New Moon we should manifest financial blessings. The chart for the New Moon has an alignment between the Sun and Moon, Ceres and Mercury. This is a good time to start a self care program and work on increasing abundance. 


Venus enters Cancer May 18, so our Cancerian friends look extra pretty for about three weeks. All of us will want to spiff up our homes and decorate for the spring.


How many of you have already experienced the big shake up that started on April 25 with Uranus moving into Gemini?


I have heard from so many people with stories of unexpected things happening to them.

Uranus changes signs about every seven years. It can be best described as the cosmos shaking a snow globe and your life IS the snow globe! Gemini, Sag, Pisces and Virgo are most affected but it’s hitting us all in a specific area, depending on where it falls in your chart.

Uranus doesn't always warn or ask permission before it visits you. Its motto is expect the unexpected.


It's an exciting time and something in your life will change for good. If you're single, you marry. If you're living in Arizona, you could move to Florida. If you're in a dead end job, you could land a great one. If you go into this transit broke, by the time it ends, you could be wealthy. Uranus always changes what needs to change and our status.


You want to check the house where Gemini falls in your birth chart. That’s the area of life where there will be disruptions, insights and surprises. If you want to order a 1 question and have me look at your chart, you can do so here.

Just ask How will Uranus change

 my life the next 7 years?


Monday, May 4

Mars squares Jupiter.

You’ll likely run into some pompous people today. They could also be very self absorbed and demanding. Don’t allow them to ruffle your feathers. 

Most Challenging times: 3:16 am, 10:08 pm. Eastern time


Tuesday, May 5 

Mercury squares Pluto

Both Taurus and Aquarius are fixed signs. Don’t have an argument with one of them today if you can help it. Nothing good will come of it.


However, you will likely be dedicated to a goal and be inspired to go after it. You can accomplish something big today or at least lay the foundation for it. You will be very psychic this evening. Put work aside in the nighttime hours as you aren’t likely to get much done as there are a lot of distractions. 


Wednesday, May 6


Pluto turns Retrograde. You are getting rid of the BS in your life and everything you don’t need. This aspect goes until October. Repressed stuff? It’s time to face your shadow side.


There’s a lot of clarity coming your way. You will feel as if a light bulb has went off in your head. Any roadblocks will lift eventually so don’t get upset if you see a little blockage in your path. Take note of any feelings or if anything happens around 11:34am eastern. That’s an indication or clue from the universe of something you need to address between now and October. Pluto goes retrograde at that exact moment. Whatever pops up, please pay attention to clues from the Universe.


Thursday, May 7

You will be quite focused today and perhaps for the rest of the week too. You may be upset in the evening when something doesn’t turn out as you had hoped but that feeling of failure doesn’t last long so please do not dwell on it. In other words, do not plan a romantic date or a business meeting or anything of importance for Thursday evening.


Friday, May 8

The Moon moves into Aquarius right after midnight and brings wisdom from the cosmos. Pay attention to any dreams and thoughts that pop up. The moon’s energy is very supportive most of the day. However you may experience some power struggles in the afternoon around 2:20pm eastern. Perhaps a secret is revealed.

Good times: 4:49 am, 10:22 am, 11:16 pm.


Wanted to let you know that since I watched your webinar about “Speak Your Day” I have been implementing that technique every morning. The very first day one of the things I asked for happened. (It’s personal so I don’t want to mention it but it was the most important I was focusing on).



The third day, as I was asking for abundance to come my way, I received a phone call that I was getting a bonus check in addition to the caregiver check i usually get!! It was an additional $800!!! I’m so glad you are sharing these techniques and I hope people will at least try them for a while and allow great things to come their way. Thank you for sharing your passion.

Be on Top of

Your Day, Everyday!


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.


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 have created a Speak Your Day Disk


These are energy tools for spiritual alignment, to help you reach a higher frequency and set intentions for your day  


Use it anytime you manifest at anytime of the day. Leave it on your nightstand and reach for it every morning.



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

Yin Yang : Balance, Perfect Harmony 


Heart: Love, affection, emotion and romance 


Butterfly: New beginnings, transformation, rebirth 


Hand of Fatima: Protection, blessings, power, strength and luck 


Evil Eye: Protective energy meant to deflect negativity, gossip, accidents, provide safety in travels


Star: Hope, guidance, positivity, manifesting and magic.


Sun: Life, energy, power and enlightenment, good health 


$ Sign: Abundance and prosperity financially


Angel Wing: protection, purity, courage, love and harmony. A connection to your guardian angel or the divine, spiritual growth


Acorn: Growth, potential, strength, new beginnings, good luck.


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

Pluto retrogrades from May 6 to October 16, spending 162 days revealing secrets and changing your life path


This aspect sparks something that happened to you in 2024 that you considered a BIG deal, for better or worse. Think back to what was going on then. Similar energy or the same issue comes back up. This month's helps you to reshape your life in one specific way. 


A part of your life may die out now through October so something new can rise up. Pluto retrograde does not ask nicely. It just comes in and does it thing. It excavates. It brings up the things you buried because they were too painful, too shameful, or too overwhelming to face. Or it could force a change that is necessary that you were stalling to make. But here is Pluto's deeper truth: what you are willing to look at, you can transform. What you refuse to see is what Pluto wants to bring up.


Some of you reading this will end a relationship. Others may quit a job or get fired. Some people may have a health crisis. Others may be forced to sell a home. But the end result is the for the BEST. Whatever Pluto changes, it builds back better! Do not be scared. The end result is for the best.


There is deep soul work happening in the next 162 days. Not everyone will feel it consciously. Pluto moves slowly and its effects are often subtle until they are suddenly not. But for those folks with planets near 3-5° of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio, this retrograde will be personally and profoundly felt.


Scorpio will feel this transit the most. This can be a period of profound psychological transformation or something in their outside world happens. Uncomfortable, yes, but ultimately liberating. This pertains to all Sun, Rising and Moon signs.

This retrograde offers a powerful opportunity to align with transformative change.


Its intense energy may stir resistance or fear of change if not approached with openness. My best advice is be open and know the universe has your back. This retrograde will affect you personally based on your astrological chart, shaping its impact on specific areas.


If you want a 1 question reading on how Pluto Retrograde will affect your, I will research and record an answer on the impact,, the dos and don’t tips I have for you and what you can ultimately expect from this life changing transit. Just order here and ask

How will Pluto Retrograde affect me.

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!
