Saturn in Scorpio On October 5 transiting Saturn moved into the sign of Scorpio where it will remain for approximately for the next 2 1/2 years. Saturn is the planet that structures our lives through achievement and responsibility.   Saturn is known for its “taskmaster” qualities, testing our character through limitation. The lessons associated with Saturn shows us where potential lies through the paradoxical box it seemingly holds us in. Scorpio deals with the inner sanctums of life and the underworld of our psyche. There is nothing casual or aloof about Scorpio. Power, control, conflict, death/rebirth, vulnerability, secrecy, co-mingling of resources (connection), and sexuality are some of the key descriptions associated with Scorpio. Bringing a theme of intensity that gets down and dirty. Saturn entering Scorpio’s realm immediately challenges control and power. Showing us the box we have built in the name of fear and summoning us to break free from its l...

Associative Color:      Violet or White or Gold   Central focus:  Connection to spirit, enlightenment, self-realization, fulfillment, faith, individuation, humanitarianism, , selflessness, transcendence, attachment. We work our way up awakening each chakra to arrive at a form of enlightenment in the Crown Chakra. This is not a journey’s end, but a rebirth and beginning that which some describe as “Kundalini Awakening”.  Here in the seventh chakra awareness of our spirit is realized and our connection to a more encompassing spirit outside ourselves. This spiritual connection is not religion. Religion speaks to the tribal mind and is associated with the first chakra. When we awaken to the seventh chakra we are open to cosmic energy that is linked with Divine wisdom and thought. At this level the intellect is abandoned and the experience of a “knowing” is realized as is an establis...

Through symbolisms in our dreams we can access unsolved missing pieces of ourselves and obtain broader creative vision in which to see...

Love “Love will enter immediately into any mind that truly wants it, but it must want it truly. Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find  all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. Love waits on welcome, not on time. When you want only love you will see nothing else. If love is sharing, how can you find it except through itself? Offer it and it will come to you, because it is drawn to itself. But offer attack and love will remain hidden, for it can live only in peace. It is the nature of love to look upon only the truth,  for there it sees itself. With love in you,  you have no need except to extend it.” from a Course in Miracles “Love, Which created me, is what I am.”    Chakra 4 - The Heart Location:   Center of chest. Influence: Heart, lungs (the breath), shoulders, arms and hands, ribs and breasts, diaphragm, thymus gland, circulatory system. Associative Color:     Green   Central focu...

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Marianne Williamson Chakra 3 – Solar Plexus    Location:   Between naval and base of sternum.  Influence: Stomach, upper intestines, liver, gallbladder, kidney, pancreas, adrenal glands, spleen, midd...

"But seek no haven in my shadow, I will give you no hiding place here. You, created only a little lower than the angels, have crouched too long in the bruising darkness have lain too long facedown in ignorance.  your mouths spilling words. Armed for slaughter.
