December 28 New Moon. Are You Willing To Make Lemonade?

“Life keeps throwing me lemons because I make the best lemonade…”
King James Gadsden

There were some lemons in 2016!  But we have the opportunity to make up for those and manifest big at the December 28 new moon. It is a powerful, manifesting moon and the last new moon before the Chinese Lunar New Year, January 27, 2017. Three big positive themes are waiting for your enthusiasm and ecstatic participation. Are you willing to make lemonade?

Surrender To peace, to love, to your Source within. Ask for help. Allow yourself to receive help. Don’t turn down the gifts offered to you. With all the giving you do this creates balance.

Make lemonade We are dealt a hand of cards, but the key is not the cards you receive but how you deal with them that will bring the results you desire. Remember you deserve to be loved and deserve goodness. When you amp up your worthiness your life becomes more peaceful.

Break free At the snap of your fingers what one thing would you change? Switch careers? End a relationship? Change an eating habit? Breaking free of old patterns is an empowerment resolution. You have options and you have the strength to do it.

I am grateful to Doreen Virtue for the power themes he shared in her December 26-January 1, 2017 weekly oracle card reading. I felt a call-to-action to share them. I want you to feel the exhilaration of manifestation and there is no better time than the December 28 new moon.

August 2 New Moon I Here’s Looking At You!

“The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it.”
– David Orr, Ecological Literacy: Educating Our Children For A Sustainable World

August 2 new moon we’re seeing double – the month of the Monkey in the Year of the Monkey. In the Five Elements Monkey is Metal and this Primate has lots of brilliance. Young Monkey children exhibit exceptional skills and acuity. Adaptable, amicable and always trying their best to help others, they are a popular zodiac sign. Excellent problem-solvers, Monkey dives into the heart of a discussion and leads the way to a smart answer that works for all. This month try on the curiosity super-power. You might be surprised what you find out about yourself–that it leads to a largess of spirit when you become deeply impassioned about the world around you. David Orr’s quote rather sums up Monkey’s open-mindedness and open-heartedness. These traits lay the foundation for kindness, for restoration, for living well, to be humane and that is sorely needed in a sometimes isolated, often times estranged world.

What does this lunar month hold for your Chinese Zodiac animal? Whatever the forecast, be brilliant. Rat: a Three Harmony month. Joyous events and wealth can be obtained through conventional and unconventional means. Adversity may show itself before the 10th of Lunar July (August 12). Be cautious and refrain from getting into conflict. After 10th of Lunar July (August 12) happiness and profits will come your way. Ox: as long as you are not greedy, investments will pay off. Opportunities to make friends are available but be discerning or you may be misled. All goes well in career and relationship. Expect they will be smooth. Tiger: double trouble. Your sign is in opposition to both the month and the year. Keep your eyes and ears open for scoundrels, lawsuits, money loss and unexpected disasters. In all situation make concessions to bring advancement. Learn how to be softer in your dealings. To avoid disaster perform “The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell” ritual on the first day of the lunar month. Rabbit: a harmonious family leads to success in everything so avoid quarreling. There may be gossip among friends, avoid that too. And there may be interpersonal disputes, stay clear. If you plan to take a trip perform, “Walking the Red Carpet Cure” and carry nine fresh orange peels. Dragon: it is a month of Three Harmonies. Adversities will melt into auspiciousness. Wealth and your wishes will bear fruit. Your physical and mental conditions will be refreshed. It is the start of the Ghost month, do not go near water nor walk alone at night. Snake: luck of the month is good with minor misfortune. There will be happiness and sorrow. Because it is the Ghost month be cautious in all matters. Don’t move across the country nor across town. Be careful when driving and watch for theft and burglary. Horse: be careful of negative energy that may be lurking and avoid water. Fate is determined by the heavens so allow life to unfold naturally. Be cautious, someone who means you ill will might be around. You can minimize the effect by performing “Avoiding Harmful People Cure” Ram: be cautious of negative Ch’i, the month’s activities may not proceed with ease. Do not go into funeral homes, visit the sick nor young children. Avoid water during this Ghost month. Focus on your long-term plans, it will help with addressing everyday incidents. Avoid knee-jerk reactions to situations or you may lose a good friend. Monkey: life will be in the extremes with great luck and great misfortune! As it is the Ghost month, do not venture too far that goes for trips, relocating or getting married. Refrain from being aggressive in your dealings. Spend more time at home and with family. Avoid going to hospitals, funerals and going near water. Rooster: gather immunity with “Walking the Red Carpet Cure” and carry fresh orange peels should you decide to take a trip. Since it is the Ghost Month keep young family members away from water. If you have a health condition seek immediate medical attention. If legal disputes are pending seek reconciliation. Dog: after last month what a relief to have a good month. Your luck will be smooth. If you keep your attention on the job at hand you will reap rewards. Though traveling is favored there can be misfortune as well as prosperity. If you take a trip perform “Walking the Red Carpet Cure” and carry fresh orange peels. Pig: not only are you entertaining bad luck, due to the Ghost month, you must take extreme caution. Best advice is not to relocate and stay away from places that are unsafe. Do not throw caution to the wind. Refrain from dangerous exercises or extreme sports. Have your wits about you, accidents involving falls, bloodshed and unexpected events may befall you. If you request a cure from this forecast, I will ask you to honor the red envelope tradition. Have a great month, Zodiac friends! 

The Ghost Month is back! King Yama has opened the gates of hell letting all the spirits and ghosts ascend. The dead are welcomed and shrines are decorated. But some ghosts aren’t as friendly as Casper, here are 8 taboos to ghost-proof your life.

June 4 New Moon I Your Next Adventure

“Tell me, what it is you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
– Mary Oliver

This June 4 new moon take your precious life into your imagination and let it run the entire lunar month. The influences are keen for it. The clever Horse is energetic, quick, enthusiastic and loves an enterprise. The sparkling, creative Monkey likes to make things up as it goes and relishes making ingenious plans. Horse and Monkey are experts at thinking up new adventures. Make use of their charisma by taking some time from your schedule, “because it is important to attend to the well-being of your personal self…” (Abraham Hicks)

You can amplify your well-being and take advantage of what you desire to accomplish with these four things you can do everyday from Abraham Hicks.

Meditate 15 minutes everyday. Quiet your mind with the simple intention of allowing your cork to float.

Spend time in Nature. Go outside no matter what the weather and move around in it in appreciation of this planet. Look up and around and find things to acknowledge and talk about them right out loud. Such as when Esther walks through her garden and says to everything,“You are my favorite. You are my favorite bird in the tree, you are my favorite stone on the path, you are my favorite flower in bloom…”

Write in a notebook daily. You could call it, “My Book of Positive Aspects”. Fill it with three to five pages of positive aspects. Choose five different subjects and write on the positive aspects of each one. You are train your vibration into an upward place.

Look upward and acknowledge universal forces. Best if you do it outside or at a window. Acknowledge there are universal forces that are focused right at you. Acknowledge it by calling it by name. And then say, “I acknowledge that I am the object of your positive attention. And I am appreciating your continual gaze on behalf of my well-being. And today, no matter where I am, no matter where I am going, no matter what I am doing and no matter who I am doing it with, I will be in conscious awareness that you too are there with me. Appreciating me, supporting me, assisting me, acknowledging me, inspiring me, guiding me, having fun with me, helping me, aware of me, loving me, showing me, uplifting me…get into an endless loop of that acknowledgement. And watch what begins to happen.

To get into the spirit, I add the vitality of the rainbow colors to my wardrobe. A scarf is a quick lift. Something more permanent, like a wind sock at a corner eave, helps me drink in all the seven hues and sustains my energy.

What does this lunar month hold for your Chinese Zodiac animal? Read on and imagine your next adventure. Rat: you are in Direct Conflict with Horse. There will be obstacles and obscurity in your endeavors. There are prospects in love but be cautious in making any concrete decisions. Scoundrels may be about, perform the Avoiding Harmful People Cure (aka The Scoundrel Cure). Ox: this is a Mutually Offensive month. Remain passive and conservative. Avoid disputes and gossip.
