 Flying home from San Francisco ~ July 2008

Have you felt an energetic shift these past few days? 

My guess is that many people are noticing a change.  And not just from the turning of the calendar to a new year.  There's some *intense* stuff happening in the celestial realm that is playing out in how we feel and behave down here.

It's great that this New Year begins with the ending of Mercury Retrograde, a New Moon, AND a Solar Eclipse (tomorrow morning at 4:03am ET).  There's A LOT going on in the skies above to help us manifest our annual resolutions!

For many years, I was not one to put much emphasis on or belief into astrology.  I might read my daily horoscope in the newspaper and chuckle if it resembled where I was that day.   I visisted psychics a few times and had a Tarot card reading once in NYC in the early '90's. 

However, as my spiritual path has broadened and progressed, I have come to appreciate the wisdom and insight that can be found in certain professional teachings. 

One such site I recently discovered (thanks, Liz!!!) is The Cosmic Path.  This is about as good as it gets for thorough, timely, intelligent astrological guidance.  I highly recommend you take a few minutes to check out the weekly forecast. 

(As with everything else I will mention in this forum ~ if it resonates with you, check it out ~ if not, let it go.)

Regardless of where you are the path of awakening ~ there are many tools available to assist in your ascension process.  This site is one of the best I've seen so far.  (In future posts, I'll mention others.)

"...focus on our own well-being...this is all that really matters right now. Actually, it’s all that ever really matters, because working on the Self is the key to Love and Peace on the planet. Love your Self, be kind to your Self and treat your Self as you would have others treat you. If you do, they will. We receive exactly what we put out in the world. That’s because it’s a big mirror, nothing more."

In addition to her site, Stephanie had a 1-hour long call-in show yesterday, which was fabulous!  You can access a recording of it by sending an email to the proprietor of Wisdom Calls One. (Free 'til the end of the week.)

Now, all this being said, I want to encourage you to not get too caught up in the details of this stuff!  The most important thing we can do right now (and this is a message I keep getting over and over again), is to stay open and go with the flow.  It is imperative that we let go of fear and TRUST the process.  Keep doing the work you are called to do on yourself.  Especially work on keeping your heart open.  Send love and light to yourself and the world as much as possible.  Make your 'travel' plans, but don't be too attached to any particular destination.  Get rid of any unnecessary 'baggage'.  Lighten your load (physical, emotional, mental, material) and prepare for an amazing journey!

"Make your New Year's resolutions, but wait until the Solar Eclipse to plant them.   They will go through a long growing season this year, with Uranus, Jupiter and Neptune all changing signs this year.   We are in the midst of vast cosmic changes.   Go with the flow and you'll do well."
