Notes from J

April seems to be a month of hope and renewal. The days get longer, the flowers crop up their pretty little blossoms, and in the Pacific Northwest we can begin to shed some outer layers on occasion.

The Numerological energy of March is about balance, as is the Full Moon energy. Think about how you want to bring balance into your life. Are you spending time with your family and friends as you would like? Are you taking care of your own needs? Are you balancing what you eat and drink in a way that is in the best interest of your health? This may be your month to make change you’ve considered but have put off.

In the Coaching Corner you’ll find the next of a three part series in how to manifest whatever you want. My coaching clients have found that these steps work for them as they are able to successfully call desired change into their lives. Learning to speak to your guides is a step many people find difficult. Please contact me if I can help you get over this block.

I’m introducing a new deck, The Guardian of the Night Tarot, from a Seattle artist, MJ Cullinane. I think you will find it interesting. I still use my Tarot of Empowerment Major Arcana deck and have some available if you would like to acquire one.

Blessings,

J

Manifesting, Part 2

In March I introduced the first part of learning to manifest what you want to call into your life. That first step is to talk to you spiritual partners (click here to read the March article). I pointed out that even if you don’t believe you have angels and guides, or spiritual partners, just act as though you do. This will give them a chance to make themselves known to you. You might call the results a coincidence, but I still suggest you give thanks to the whoever or whatever you decide to call them because they are there for you.

Step 2 begins once you have begun communicating with your spiritual partners and you get clear about what you want to manifest. Perhaps it’s a new job. If so, get clear about what you want in a new job. Put in the details that are important to you. Do NOT write what you don’t want associated with the new job. Write down what your new job would do for you; perhaps it would be closer to home, or you would make more money. Just be sure that it is what you want, not what someone else thinks would be important in a new job. Once you are clear about what you want to manifest, write and then say, “This or better.”

The next task is as important as deciding what you want to manifest. Do NOT engage your doubts. If doubts creep into your thoughts, talk to your angels and guides by restating what you want to manifest. You are co-creating with them.

When we lived in Corvallis, Oregon, I wanted a job as a foreign student advisor, but there were no positions within the colleges or universities within an hour drive. I couldn’t imagine how a job could manifest, but I kept asking my guides. Mind you, I was pretty new at consciously manifesting, so I had all of the doubts and fears you might feel. I kept repeating, “There is one power, the perfect power. I Judyth call on the perfect power to manifest for me the perfect job.” I had already written out more details about what that perfect job would look like.

One day, out of the blue, my husband asked if I had seen a job description for a position in Washington that he just read about. I told him I couldn’t look at something that far away unless he would be willing to give up his tenured position so that we could move. He thought about it and said he would because I had supported his various ventures.

We packed up our family and moved to Bellingham and I became the Director of Foreign Students for Skagit Valley College. Not a foreign student advisor position, but better. Remember, this or better.

Just like me, you can also manifest what you want to call into your life. Review Step 1 about talking to your spiritual partners; then write down what you want to manifest. Be clear and share it with your angels and guides.

Next month I’ll explain the final step in manifesting. In the meantime, ask for what you want. Be willing to believe that you are co-creating. This or better.

Tarot, Minor Arcana                                

The Guardian of the Night Tarot

As most of you know, Gordana Curgus and I co-created a Major Arcana deck called Tarot of Empowerment. A Major Arcana deck gets right to the issue at hand and is a wonderful tool to guide you in a clear, concise manner. However, recently I got nostalgic for meandering through a full 78 card deck with the four suits and four court figures so I sought out a Major/Minor Arcana deck.

The deck I decided to use is called The Guardian of the Night Tarot, by MJ Cullinane. The images are animals who wander in the darkness, bringing light. The author writes that she found emotional release by creating this deck as a healing tool during the challenging times we’ve all experienced over the last few years.

Starting with the Ace from the Minor Arcana, this deck stays true to the traditional interpretations while introducing the reader to animals busy in the night who symbolically bring in aspects of the light. Generally speaking, my training with the Ace is that it represents new beginnings and is often a gift. The descriptions of the aces below are condensed from the author’s description in the book that accompanies the deck.

The Ace of Swords is illustrated by the bat, which represents the ability to travel instinctively through the darkness. When this card comes up, it is a reminder to call on grace and skill and to change course and find a new direction as the situation calls for.

The Ace of Pentacles is represented by the owl, who is powerful and intuitive. The owl energy will help you to see the entire picture, including what may be available in the future, a new perspective.

The Ace of Wands is represented by the spider and the firefly. The spider uses its creative energy to craft a web that will bring fresh benefits, while the firefly lights the darkness with courage and imagination on a new journey.

The Ace of Cups is represented by the black-crowned night heron, who embodies stillness and grace. The heron travels between social worlds of nesting and individual night hunting without friction or discomfort trusting in natural flow of energy.

I’m looking forward to learning more about these cards, as well as other decks, and reminding myself of the joy of the journey through the Minor Arcana.

Numerology

April is the 4^th month in the calendar year. In the year 2023, April has the Universal Month value of an 11/2 month. (Reduce 2023 to a single digit, which is 7. Then add the 7 to the 4, equaling 11, and reduce to a single digit, which is 2.)

The energy in an 11/2 month is twofold: first, it’s about slowing down, tapping into the intuitive nature of the 11 to bring momentum to any projects or relationships you started last month. Second, the 2 energy is about balance and partnership, so be willing to ask others for assistance or to share their ideas.

To figure out your Personal Month energy, and to understand how to get the most out of this month, add your Personal Year number to 4, the current month. Calculate your Personal Year by adding your birth day and month to 2023. For example, the Personal Month energy for a December 9 birthday would calculate like this: 12+9+2023; reduce all numbers to a single digit and we get 3+9+7=19. Reduce 19 to a single digit, and the Personal Month energy for this birthday is 1.

1 Personal Month: You are likely to think outside of the box and be willing to take some risks.

2 Personal Month: You are likely to work and play well with others and to be more intuitive than usual.3 Personal Month: You are likely to have a highly energetic month full of creativity and self-confidence.

4 Personal Month: You are likely to want to bring routine and structure into your life.

5 Personal Month: You are likely to seek out adventure and to accept changes in your life.

6 Personal Month: You are likely to be very nurturing towards others.

7 Personal Month: You are likely to decide to go within and seek quiet introspection.

8 Personal Month: You are likely to find your personal power.

9 Personal Month: You are likely to end situations and relationships that no longer work for you.

Sky Influences

Full Moon in Libra, April 5, a time for balance, collaboration, and compromise. This is especially true because the Universal Month energy for April in 2023 is also asking for balance, collaboration, and compromise.

New Moon and Eclipse in Aris-Libra Axis, April 19, the probability of unexpected change to our plans. Slow down and double check process and progress.

Mercury retrograde in Taurus, April 21 to May 14, it may seem to make it difficult to keep things moving forward. Be patient with time, electronics and travel.

Notes from J

Each month, when I sit down to write this newsletter, I ponder about how to make a fresh approach to empowerment. Do you know why I do this newsletter?

I know from my personal experience how important it is to come from a place of empowerment. Like many of you, I didn’t grow up with a sense of empowerment. Over the years, I’ve learned that I have attributes many people appreciate, and as I’ve acknowledged and embraced those attributes I’ve become more satisfied with life, and I’ve attracted wonderful friends and experiences. I know how important empowerment is.

Years ago when I became an Empowerment Coach, I was attacked on social media by a person who said I couldn’t empower anyone, and she was right. No one can empower you. All any coach can do is to provide tools for the person to build the skills to help her meet her goals. I write this newsletter as your coach. I hope some of it works for you.

This month I created a one-month Empowerment Calendar for February. You can download it here. Let me know what you think about it. Almost every day this past January I’ve posted empowerment suggestions on Facebook; thank you for your comments. In March I’ll continue with messages on Facebook a few times a week.

Blessings,

J

Looking Forward

February is often thought to be a time for romance because of Valentine’s Day. I’ve been pleased that in the last several years many single people have gotten together to celebrate being single, which can be the most empowering state to be in.

Whether you are in a relationship or not, take a day to love yourself and appreciate who you are. If you are not feeling confident about yourself, try the exercises below because you are worthy of loving yourself first and foremost.

First of all, understand that you do not have to think you are perfect. None of us is perfect. Unfortunately, many times people tend to absorb and remember hurtful or thoughtless things that people have said about them—even those things from childhood that are in no way relevant now. People often remember the hurt and pain, often when they don’t even remember the words. The message they carry is, “You are not enough.”

Unfortunately, people frequently don’t remember, or hear, the kind things that people say about them. Or they sluff the comment off, rather than hold onto it and embrace it. I don’t know each of you who is reading this exercise, but I do know that every one of you is an individual who has some wonderful traits that are valued by others in your life. Acknowledge the positive things people say about you.

Pay attention to what you say when someone compliments you. For example, when someone thanks you for something you’ve done, do you ignore the comment or say, “it was nothing”? Every time you ignore or downplay a compliment you disempower yourself.

Exercise: For 1 month, or 1 week, or 1 day listen to when people thank you, or compliment you. Or compliment you on a job well done. Write down the positive comments to reinforce them. Those are words of praise that make up a large part of who you are.

The person with the potential to know you better than anyone else is yourself. Look at the list of compliments you’ve recorded, and then add other attributes that you know are your strengths. Embrace what is good and wonderful about who you are.

When you love yourself, in spite of your faults, you will find more love in your life. Loving yourself is being an empowered self.

Sky Influences

Full Moon in Leo, February 5: Unexpected inspiration and the need to express what feels right and true.

New Moon in Pisces, February 20^th: Spiritual awakening, revitalization, and a fresh start.

Notes from J

Welcome to 2023! Happy New Year to you all.

You will learn a lot about your personal Numerology energy for 2023 in this newsletter. I’ve also included a Tarot reading about what energy we are likely to attract during the course of this year. You can use this reading as a model for you to do your own annual reading.

One of my goals this year is to have more opportunities to be engaged with my readers. To that end, I’m going to post an empowerment message each day in January on my Facebook page. As many of you know, in the past I’ve seldom been on FB, so this is a real commitment to make to you. Please let me know if these messages are of interest to you.

In spite of the December solstice, January and February always feel so dark. I looked up how much daylight we’ll be gaining; in Bellingham, from January 1 to January 31, we gain 1 hour and 22 minutes. By February, even though it’s 3 days fewer, we gain 1 hour and 29 minutes. Daylight time will vary depending on where you live, but it’s nice to know in the far Northwest that the days really are getting longer.

Make this the year to become best friends with the person you most want to be.

Blessings,

J

New Year Beginnings

The theme for 2023 is about living your best self. It’s getting in touch with that deep part of you that is the finest of who you are. Below are some tips for getting to that person, in the hope that you can be the ideal of yourself for longer and longer periods.

Learn to recognize when you are in the flow, that is, when everything seems to effortlessly fall into place and you love the person you are in that moment.

Determine what your truth is about you and your place in the world. Learn to distinguish between what you have been told by others and what you want in your heart to be true. What are the characteristics of the best of you?

Develop your own system to support how you can enhance those characteristics. Hear the validation from others when you bring the best of you to the light of the world.

Develop a daily practice that you are motivated to follow, one that support the qualities you want to have into your life.

Tarot Play

Deck: Tarot of the Spirit, by Pamela Eakins, Ph.D

My Tarot reading for each of us to individually follow in 2023 is below. The question posed is, “What can each of us do to be the best we can be this year?” In the center is the reading that has the theme for the year; it is then broken into 4 quarters. In each quarter is a card representing body, mind, and spirit.

Theme – Moon: Trust your intuition this year. See through the illusions in order to get to the truth of your life.

Jan-Mar

Body – 10 Wind(R): The end of a cycle regarding your health. Consider starting a program for your body to heal or to be in better shape.

Mind – 5 Wind(R): Beware of adapting fear and negativity from the media or those around you.

Spirit – Lovers: It is time to make the choice of doing things as you have in the past or doing them in a new way.

Apr-May

Body – Mother Water(R): Be kind to your physical self. Look at the areas you have been ignoring, and put your attention there to become healthier.

Mind – Justice(R): Gather all of the information before making decisions, especially legal contracts.

Spirit – 4 Earth: You will be supported if you are willing to take on the responsibility of helping society make changes for the greater good.

Jun-Aug

Body – Heirophant: Honor the deep connection to your physical body, your work, and home.

Mind – 10 Wind(R): If you become passionately obsessed with any area of your life, take a step back and break down the walls you have built.

Spirit – Judgement(R): Become in touch with the hidden possibilities within yourself, and release their potential.

Sep – Dec

Body – Tower(R): Be willing to put up with the disruption caused by making changes in your physical world.

Mind – Emperor: Explore how to lead members of your community in a way that is in the best interests of all.

Spirit – 4 Earth: Your beliefs are the key to helping others recognize their worth.

Numerology for 2023

In Numerology, each year holds an energy derived from adding all of the numbers of the year and reducing the number to a single digit. In 2023, we add 2+0+2+3 and we get the number 7. The energy of the 7 will influence everyone this year. In order to make the best choices this year, it’s important for you to calculate your personal number for 2023.

You calculate your Personal Year Number for the year by adding your birth day, birth month, and 2023. The Personal Year number for an April 21st birthday would be 4+3+7=14=5. This birthday is a 5 Personal Year.

The Universal energy in 2023 is about taking a pause and looking inward to find our deepest purpose in life. It is a pause before a reset. Looking inward will bring up shadows, both individually and collectively. You can expect a desire to reconnect with nature and to seek periods of solitude. The energy of 2022 was about nurturing others; 2023 is about finding yourself.

In the course of finding yourself, you may also feel pain as you run into those parts of yourself that you have hidden deep within. Stay with your search for the true you, and you will find the ability to heal those childhood wounds, as well as your own regretful actions and words.

Look for the joys involved with self-discovery this year. You are a unique individual with wonderful talents and contributions to give to the world. Celebrate your uniqueness. Have the courage to work with a coach or counselor to move through this year with grace.

1 Personal Year: You are experiencing the beginning of a nine-year cycle. New opportunities and directions will present themselves to you this year. Look ahead to determine what you want to accomplish during these 9 years. Take risks by trying new ideas, foods, relationships. The 1 energy is in perfect harmony with the contemplation of the 7 Universal energy.

2 Personal Year: Hopefully you learned a lot about yourself last year because it was a 1 year. This is the year when you will benefit from building personal and professional relationships. Be an equal partner in these relationships so that you carry your own weight, but don’t lose yourself. The 7 Universal energy will encourage you to understand more about yourself so that you bring your true self to your relationships. Your intuition may be stronger this year.

3 Personal Year: This year you may find more opportunities for creativity, communication, and travel. Even with the 7 Universal energy encouraging you to look inward, you will have the energy to discover creative avenues to express yourself. As you delve deep with the Universal 7 energy, you’ll find the most creative parts of the true you. This is a wonderful year to share your thoughts and feelings with friends.

4 Personal Year: The 4 Personal Year is setting the foundation for the future. As you delve into self-discovery with the 7 Universal energy, you’ll discover the building blocks for coming years. 2023 is the year to manifest your goals by paying attention to the details of what is consistent with your true purpose in life.

5 Personal Year: The 5 year can be somewhat chaotic, especially with the 7 Universal Year energy of going within to find your true spirit. As you delve deep within to discover your true self, you may find yourself releasing old bonds and limitations imposed on you from your own self-concept or from others. This year will most likely be a time of exploration and risk-taking.

6 Personal Year: Harmony and balance are the keys to a 6 Personal Year. As you delve into the 7 Universal energy to discover more about your own needs, you will learn how to give more to your loved ones in a balanced way. This will be the year when you face your responsibilities while maintaining a balance between work and home. Your focus this year will be about home.

7 Personal Year: The 7 Personal Year magnifies the effect of the 7 Universal Year. You will need more alone time for self-discovery. This is a year to rest, rejuvenate, and practice self-care. Beware of being self-critical or over analyzing. This is a great year to journal your insights and inspirations. Be patient with yourself. Try to find time to read, walk in nature, and find peace.

8 Personal Year: The 8 Personal Year is typically a manifesting year; however, in a 7 Universal Year you will find yourself applying that action around what excites your inner being. You will still have opportunities to be a leader and influencer to others, and to build and create in the material world, but you will find yourself doing so in a more stringently ethical way.

9 Personal Year: The 9 Personal Year is the last of a 9 year cycle. This is the year during which you clear out closets, projects, and relationships that no longer work for you. Working with the 7 Universal Year energy, you first discover what is in your highest and best good, then you eliminate those projects and people who do not support you. The 9 Personal Year clears things out so that you have space next year to begin a new 9 year cycle.

Sky Influences

January 6, Full Moon in Cancer: A time of feeling nurturing towards family and friends.

January 18, Mercury goes direct. (YAY!) The retrograde will still influence electronics, communication and transportation for a few days, but things will be less disturbed.

January 21, New Moon in Aquarius: While there is a concern about humanity, there may be a need to rein in unpredictable behavior.

Notes from J

Summer is finally here in the Pacific Northwest. Everything is in bloom and the sun is shining. It’s just beautiful.

In the US, July is typically the month to celebrate freedom and being an American. For many women, and members of the LBGTQ community, there are reasons to question what freedom means in 2022.

Being independent is being free from outside control. My wish for this month is for all people to be empowered to celebrate their independence.

Blessings,

J

Knowing When To Release

“Maybe you’re not healing because you’re trying to be who you were before the trauma. That person doesn’t exist anymore. Because there’s a new you trying to be born, breathe life into that new person.” (I couldn’t find the original source of this quotation.)

I was working with a client whose very dear husband had died in the not-so-distant past. During the course of our conversation, I mentioned how well adjusted she seemed to be, and how she exuded such joy. She told me that she discovered the quotation above, and with deep work around grief, she realized that a “new her” was being born after the death of her spouse. She needed to release the person she was as a wife and make decisions for this new person being born.

My client holds the memories of her spouse, and she greatly appreciates the time that they had together. But she had to release the person she was in order to breathe life into the person she was becoming.

She is finding joy and excitement about the current direction towards her future. Her decisions are very different than what she would have made if her husband were still alive. She is empowered.

To be empowered, you need to know—and be willing to release—that which no longer serves you.

In another example, I have a friend who struggled with her desire to retire. She held the belief that retirement was not acceptable for her. We explored where those beliefs came from, and she understood that retirement was not something her family embraced. She needed to reframe her concept about what it was to be retired.

One day she called to say she realized she didn’t want to retire; she wanted to “rewire.” Her connections were frayed and not feeding her the energy she needed to continue working.

However, by rewiring, she was able to get excited about future projects and possibilities. She was then ready to release her job and breathe life into her new being.

Is it time for you to explore what you need to release in your life? Where are the obstructions that keep you from moving forward? Are you paying attention to the words you are telling yourself about who you are and what you can accomplish?

An empowered life is positive, joyful, and strong. Being empowered is having the strength to make decisions about what is in your own highest and best good.

Below is a very powerful ritual for releasing old connections.

Sky Signs

Full Moon in Capricorn, July 13. Get grounded because the energy will help you make practical decisions and finish projects.

New Moon in Leo, July 28. Set your intentions to be creative and motivated to make your inner child happy.

July is a 4 Universal month

July is a Universal four month (7+2022=7+6=13, reduces to 4). The energy of a four month is building the foundation for the future. Decisions made in this month will have profound effect on what happens in the following months and years.

Although we will all feel the effects of the Universal four month, the way that you will experience July will be based on your Personal Month number. You can calculate that number by adding your Personal Year (your birth month + birth day and 2022) to the current month, which is 7 (July is 7^th month).

The 1 energy is new beginnings, leadership, and initiative.

The 2 energy is harmony, partnership, and cooperation.

The 3 energy is expansiveness, adventure, and joy.

The 4 energy is structure, order, and service.

The 5 energy is change, enthusiasm, and adaptability.

The 6 energy is home, family, and responsibility.

The 7 energy is analysis, understanding, and logic.

The 8 energy is power, money, and confidence.

The 9 energy is completion, idealism, and humanitarianism.

The card for July is Chaos. Select your card here.

Upheaval, destruction, transformation

The structure of my life is revolutionized

Show me the pieces of truth and wisdom

To rebuild new foundations in my life

Chaos is the Tower card in traditional decks. This card often causes feelings of fear and anxiety because it depicts upheaval and sudden change. The change brought on by Chaos is often unexpected, quick, and profound. The energy frequently appears dramatic and out of control because it implies cataclysmic, not catastrophic, change.

The card Chaos often comes up in a reading when you’ve chosen to stay in your comfort zone rather than to make choices to enhance your growth. Often, you know that a change is necessary but are reluctant to take the next step. When this card comes up, the choice to make a change is no longer yours. You have put yourself in the position to receive a cosmic kick-in-the-ass.Your foundations are being torn asunder. The rapid, unexpected change may come in the form of work, relationship, or some other aspect of your life. You will most likely find yourself in a position to question your security and your beliefs.

Ritual – Personal Cleansing and Energy Release

The purpose of this ritual is to release old energy and attachments. I suggest you do this ritual during the day and leave time for a nap at the end. It’s best not to do it before retiring for the night.

Light a candle and draw a bath. Use a flat stone or implement to signify cutting any web-like attachments from people or situations. Start with the intention that you are releasing all attachments and people in your life. However, know that at the end of the ritual those that love and support you will reattach and stay in your life. Those who are not in your highest good will be released.

Go over your body with the stone from the top of your head down to your toes while repeating, “I release all cords.” Be as thorough as possible. Any places you miss (like your back) will be cleared because your intention will be clear and your guides will assist you.

Images of people and scenes may come up; some may be unexpected or forgotten. Just let them pass like a slide show.

Stay in the bathtub as you drain the water so that you don’t track the psychic “gunk” in your living space. Turn the shower on and wash from head to toe. Invite healthy re-attachments by saying, “I invite only those who love and support me to re-attach to my heart and soul.”

Very often people tell me the water actually feels oily or dirty at the end of the bath and are very happy to take the shower. It’s common to feel very tired at the end of the ritual, and I suggest taking a nap rather than going to bed for the night.

The mind can be tricky and try to take you back to the negative energy that you have already released through the ritual. If you find yourself thinking about what you have already removed through the ritual, say the word “release” and brush the thought away. In the beginning you may have to say this numerous times a day, but eventually you will cease to give energy to those negative thoughts and they will seldom come up. Even if the thoughts do come up after you think you have banished them, keep saying “release.”

Let me know how this ritual works for you.

Is it Magic?

When I was growing up there was little extra money in my family, and certainly not enough for things like the movies or going out with friends. Whenever I needed some cash, I’d set an amount in my mind and within a very short time, maybe a day or two, I’d get a babysitting job or some other chore for just that amount of money. I seldom had any doubt that the amount of money I wanted would come through, even if I didn’t know how it would come to me.

As I got older there were times when I just “knew” that I would find a way to go to Europe, or that Larry and I would start our married life in a foreign country. I accepted that, if I wanted something to happen in my life, an unexpected opportunity would present itself. This is not to say that my life was easy, or that I got everything I wanted. This “magic” would happen when I was in sync with the universe and when I trusted my intuition.

I was always willing to work for what I was asking; I just needed an opportunity to make it happen. I was willing to see opportunities where others may not recognize them. I also accepted that the opportunities may be from an unexpected place. The things that manifested for me never came from wishing harm for another person. I was, and am, willing to trust my intuition.

It wasn’t until my mid-thirties that I met my first esoteric teacher and began to realize that when I was manifesting I was actually working with what I call my angels and guides. They had supported me in my younger years without me even recognizing that they were in my life. I formally began learning healing work and developing my intuition to a much greater degree.

In the middle of the night in 2008 a voice came to me and said, “We will not let you make another dime until you put us at the center of your endeavor.” In the morning the same voice said, “Not one more dime!” I had been reading Tarot and giving Reiki for many years already, but always as a sideline. I realized that my way forward would be to honor spirit by making my practices the center of my livelihood.

Is what I was doing magic? Or was it just a bunch of unexplained coincidences? My sweet husband likes to call it magic.

One definition of magic from the Oxford dictionary is “the power of apparently influencing the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces.” My angels and guides are my supernatural forces, and I believe that you have access to your magic through your guides.

Do you want to know how to make magic the center your life? Below is a blueprint of what has worked for me.

1. Talk to your angels and guides (or whatever you want to call them) to help you manifest what you are calling into your life.

2. Ask for what you want to call into your life and believe that it will come to you.

3. Be willing to accept the unexpected.

4. Create a short mantra to reinforce what you want to call to yourself.

In my work as an empowerment coach I’ve found the biggest detriment for people to manifest their desires is a lack of self-worth and a doubt that the universe will come through for them. My suggestion is to talk to your angels and guides and ask them to help you to manifest what is in your highest and best good.

To be in your highest and best good, you will not be coming from a place of greed, and you will not be asking to harm another. You do deserve what is best for you.

Sky Signs

June 3, Mercury goes direct – Miscommunication for the last several weeks can be cleared up. The effects of Mercury retrograde last for several days after going direct. Trying to untangle miscommunications can take some time.

June 14 Full Moon in Sagittarius – This day will likely be full of optimism and adventure. The energy of the Sagittarius Moon is very in sync with the energy of the 3 Universal Month.

June 21 Summer Solstice – This is the longest day of the year, as well as the beginning of the shift to the sign of Cancer. Cancer season is a concentration on comfort, home and self-care.

June 28, New Moon Cancer – Your home is where your heart is, so be sure that you are feeding your heart. Know that you belong, in your own way, to the world.

The Universal Number for June is 3

Ritual to Manifest in 7 days

Here is an exercise for you to do each day for 7 days to co- create with spirit to manifest the change YOU want, be it a promotion, a new relationship, or a new place to live. Pay attention to your emotions as you go through this exercise. If you feel fearful you may lack self-worth. In that case, trust that your angels and guides believe in you. Or, you may discover that you are trying to manifest something you really don’t want, but that you think you SHOULD want to manifest.

1. Write down one thing you want to call into your life. Use descriptive words to paint a picture of what your new reality will be as a result of manifesting what you want to manifest. For example, if you want a new job write down the benefits the new job will bring to you: balanced responsibility, improved income, solid co-workers and so forth.
2. Every morning for 7 days read your list when you awaken. Then close your eyes and imagine watching your future self in this situation that you are manifesting. Look for your confident posture, feel your joy, appreciate your ability to manifest.
3. Ask Spirit what one thing you can do today that will bring you closer to your goal. Now, do that one thing, don’t put it off.

Stick with this plan each day for a minimum of 7 days. Let me know what you are manifesting and how this exercise worked for you.

The feedback I received from my last newsletter indicated my readers like my personal stories, so I’m continuing with that format. This isn’t just self-indulgence, there are lessons for us on in my experiences. Please let me know if you like it.

Happy Birthday to Me

This April I will be 75 years old. Years OLD, even though I don’t feel old (most of the time).

It’s been an interesting journey getting here and one I couldn’t even imagine as a kid. I remember having a conversation with a playmate and discussing how long we’d each like to live. I settled on something like the mid-fifties because I figured that I would still be able to be active and presumably in fairly good health. I didn’t have grandparents or other older role models in my life, so I had no concept of what it would be like to be older than my parents.

Now that I am well past fifty, I’m in the mood to reflect.

I was in my mid-thirties the first time my mother told me she loved me. I think she finally said those words as the result of the exercise I detail in the article below. My mother came from a non-demonstrative family, and the maternal modeling was not positive. In fact, my father died when I was twelve, and Mom asked her stepfather, rather than her mother, to come to California from the mid-West for support. My paternal grandparents died before I was born, and I only saw my maternal grandparents a half dozen times until I was an adult. I don’t have memories of a grandma’s hugs or favorite recipe or stories from her childhood. Until I was an adult there was no extended family to share memories with, and even then, we were on different paths.

When I got married and had children, I decided to change the future of my family story. I couldn’t change the past, but I hoped that I could change the patterns from the past, the wounds from the past, and as an extension, my family. I realized that Mom could feel and demonstrate love because she did so with my children. I was so curious to know if she was capable of loving me, or if I was just not a person she could ever embrace. I had begun my spiritual journey and was learning about the power of working with my angels and guides through my higher self. I decided to write her a letter, enlisting the aid of my angels and guides through my higher self to her higher self (her angels and guides). [See article below.]

Ten days after writing that letter, I got a call from her saying that she loved me and wanted me to know how much she appreciated me. I was stunned. My husband was stunned. Over the next 25 years we built a much more loving and trusting relationship. As she was nearing the end of her life, she told me that she didn’t understand my spiritual beliefs, but she saw how I expressed love for her and how she had never had that. She looked at the love and respect in my family and said that I must be doing something right. Mom feared death, but she asked me to support her when her time came to transition, which I did, some years later.

There are two lessons in this experience. One, you don’t have to carry on your family patterns. My parents were headed towards divorce when Dad died. My grandmother and even great grandmother were both divorced (that was in the late 1800’s!). I wanted to change that for my story. Two, when you work with your angels and guides, you can call in a great deal of support to create the change to make your life as you want it, and as it deserves to be.

Over the years I’ve offered this letter exercise to resolve many relationship issues regarding work, family, and neighbor issues. What I love about the solutions is that they were often unexpected, as mine was.

There is one caveat. If nothing changes in the relationship after you write the letter, it may mean that it is time for you to move away from it, be it family, work, or friendship.

So, I’m calling on my angels and guides to celebrate the 75 years we’ve been together and to trust that we will continue to work for our highest and best good.

Sky Signs

April 1, New Moon in Aries, conjunct Mercury and Chiron. The New Moon is about new beginnings and is a time to set your intentions for the coming month. Mercury is the planet that represents communication, and Chiron represents the wounded healer. As this is also the first day of April, and Aries is the first sign in the zodiac, all of the energy points to looking at your goals with a new perspective and get active in making those changes that you’ve put off. Since the Moon is conjunct Chiron and Mercury, this is a wonderful time to heal (Chiron) old patterns, especially around past communications (Mercury).

April 16, Full Moon in Libra. Libra is about balance and partnership. This Full Moon will provide the energy to slightly shift the focus from your intense personal perspective about your goals created in the New Moon to how those goals affect others. This will be a time to find harmony and balance with others, while pursuing your personal goals.

April Universal Number is 1

April is the fourth month, so we add the 4 to the 6 of the universal year (2022), and we get 10, which reduces to 1.

Along with the Moon energy (see Sky Influences), this will be a time when people have opportunities not only to see, but to change the Universal world energy. Unfortunately, that does not mean that everyone will see the “new” in the same way, and this can cause conflict. However, the positive potential energy will be available to call on to communicate healing options rather than continued destructive energy.

Engaging your Angels and Guides

Ritual letter to the Higher Self

Below is an exercise that is useful for making changes in your relationship (see example above). This exercise is useful in changing the dynamics of any relationship. The results are most obvious when a person is alive, but it’s also helpful to resolve old hurts and inequities when the person has passed.

Call on your guides and angels to help you write a letter to the higher self of the person with whom you have a challenging relationship. This is a physical letter, but you are writing it through your higher self, and to this person’s higher self. The other person will not physically receive the letter.

In the letter explain the challenging lessons you learned from this relationship, even if you rejected the lessons or the lessons were hurtful. For example, if the person has been spiteful and jealous, you can point out that they did an excellent job of teaching you how a person is when they are expressing jealousy and spite. You got the lesson, and now it’s not necessary to keep teaching (showing) you this behavior any longer. Explain in the letter that through both of your guides you would like this person to learn to replace jealousy and spite with, for example, compassion and tolerance.

In your letter include the good, the bad, and everything in between regardingyour relationship. Explain the nature of the positive energy that you would like to replace the negative. Also, honor and thank this person for the positive lessons they have brought to your life. Be willing to forgive past actions because they were most likely teaching you in the only way they knew.

At the end of the letter, tell your person’s higher self what you would like to see your relationship become, in whatever time your paths will cross. In your letter, take responsibility for however you may have contributed to the difficulty in the relationship.

When you are sure you are done with the letter, burn it with the sacred intention of changing the energy in your relationship. Say something along the lines of, “As this paper is transformed to ashes, I call on my higher self and [person’s] higher self to transform the energy in our relationship to its highest potential.” Finally, blow the ashes into the wind or put them in a garden.
