Come Monday….

July 15, 2023 susangtibLeave a comment

July 17 there are several things happening astrologically, it is the New Moon in Cancer, Venus begins stationing/standing still until she goes retrograde on July 23rd-Sept. 3 & the nodes are changing signs. Today I want to talk about the nodes.

The North and South Nodes change signs every 18 months and it is important because it is something that everyone feels and is affected by. This also signifies what signs the eclipses will fall in the next 18 months.

On the 17th the North Node will move into Aries and the South Node will move into Libra. And because the collective world population all experience the energies, it tells us what we all will be moving toward (North Node in Aries) and moving away from (South Node in Libra) in the next 18 months. Let’s explain more about the nodes and their influences on our life.

The North Node is your spiritual purpose in life, what you are moving toward. It is what you came into this life to do. It is what you feel drawn to accomplish and develop. The influences of the North Node pulls you to expand who you are to fulfill this life’s destiny and your souls purpose. It shapes your future experiences and continued evolvement.

The South Node is the history of our soul when we are born, the accumulation of our past lifetimes. We come in to life with our history in our unconscious, our natural/innate talents and accomplishments of past lives. It also includes the wounds & traumas you carry from your past lives needed to heal to accomplish this life’s full purpose. They are the things that are easiest for you to perform naturally. Or the mental/emotional wall you hit every time you try something new. There are a myriad of examples to give, but I am hoping you understand. The South Node will stir you to act because of your accomplishments in past lives, but your wounds can also rise to prevent you. These barriers need to be healed to accomplish your soul’s purpose.

So what influence will Aries in the North Node and Libra in the South Node bring to us in the next 18 months? Aries empowers fire/passion, action, impulse, start up energy, movement, just do it & pick up the pieces later mentality. With this energy you will be driven toward doing & acting out. Libra in the South Node will give rise to the shadow aspects of Libra: passivity/fear, wanting to keep the peace amongst those in your life, people pleasing, indecisiveness, avoiding risks and things that disrupt harmony and balance.

We have an opportunity to face our barriers that keep us from moving forward with our dreams. It is good to look at your astrology birth chart to see what house Aries and Libra fall in to pinpoint more specifically how these energies will affect you personally. If you don’t, it should become apparent what aspect of your life you feel moved to go forward with and what inhibits you from doing so that seem associated with these signs.

Let’s draw a card to see what it is we all need to know about accomplishing our life’s purpose and how to deal with the barriers that prevent us from our dreams. I drew a card from the “Wisdom of the Oracle” created by Collette Baron-Reid. The card is, “Soul Mates.” The essential meaning of this card is harmonious relationships, love, friendship, companionship, a relationship fostering personal growth. You are meant to evolve and transform with the companionship of others including spirit. There are people meant to take you to the next level of your healing, consciousness and authenticity. Well, how Libra is that? So I interpret it as saying that you have to let go of the “Me” and accept the “We” in your learning journey. Having the balance of your Soul Tribe in your life, aka Truth Tribe surrounding you in life will help to empower you to move forward. Also working on your spiritual practice to strengthen your intuition and guidance. Calling in spirit to help you learn and grow. When you are feeling self-defeated, it is these resources that will empower you to heal your wounds. You will know who these people or signs are as you are naturally drawn to act. Aries empowers you to act before your self-doubt or fear stops you. But you must feel the truth in your heart when motivated to act. It takes balance and harmony to empower the energies in your life. Too extreme on any scale will build barriers that require more detours to get where you want to go. Turn inward for truth and follow it outwardly for your best life!

Peace and Love, Susan

Full Moon in Capricorn

July 2, 2023July 2, 2023 susangtibLeave a comment

Monday, July 3 at 4:39am Pacific is the Full Moon in Capricorn in the northern hemisphere. It is the time when the Sun in Cancer shines its light on Capricorn to say, find balance in your relationships, expression of discipline and goal seeking. Cancer is about rest, self-care, emotions, nurturing, the mother of all and intuition. Capricorn is goal focused and determined to climb the ladder to success, consistent, authoritative, structured & knows how to get stuff done!

Given the influences this Full Moon, it will encourage us to be productive, get things done and show compassion for self & others. The polarity, tug-a-war can be in finding balance between the use of your intuition vs. intellect, emotions vs mind, self-care vs. self-neglect, rest vs. exertion, observing vs engaging, rules vs. creative flow, freedom vs structures. It is a time to observe yourself and others to find that balance. Collette Baron-Reid says to watch for sparks, fireworks or friction. Given the influences pay attention in areas of your relationships with yourself, work, home, rules, authority and with others. There is a urge to heal and resolve wounds in all these ways. Emotions and wounds from the past may surprise you when triggered this full moon. So allow yourself to feel them and decide what no longer belongs and adjust to a new way. Heal or release what you can and surrender in prayer or meditation with hope for answers for what can’t be reconciled at this time. With the Venus retrograde coming, there will the following months to continue to heal.

Let’s draw a card and ask: How can I find balance in my emotional and mental worlds when taking action? I drew a card from the “Enchanted Map” deck by Collette Baron Reid. The card is: “Sacred Pool” reversed. The book for this card starts by saying, “It can be difficult to overcome denial when there is reward for staying where you are.” It goes on to emphasize how you can stay safe and trapped in victimhood by living in denial. You never have to take a risk. You are dimming your light in the world, doing the same things over and over again. It encourages you to take a look in the mirror and see the truth of what you really want in life. Surrender to the need to self-sabotage. Once you overcome the need to deny and be comfortable in a boring life, you can seek adventure, create magic, see with clear eyes. Live a more empowered life. It always comes down to being honest with the truth that lives in your heart and having the courage to live it. Trust your innate wisdom, take action on it, flow through how the world responds and don’t let it stop you. Let go of what doesn’t align with your truth and heart.

Peace & Love, Susan

Venus Retrograde….

July 2, 2023 susangtibLeave a comment

I recently attended an online seminar with Astrologer, Dr. Michael Lennox and I wanted to share what I learned about the upcoming Venus retrograde in Leo.

If you didn’t know, from the earth’s perspective, Venus is the brightest body in our solar system after the Sun and Moon and is the 2^nd closest planet to the Sun. She represents our emotional body and teaches us about love to self and others, offers us wisdom, teaches us about our feelings affecting our relationships of all kinds (to people, animals, environment, material objects, etc) and finances.

Leo is a Fixed, Fire sign and can help us to know “most,” how deserving we are of the things & people important to us. Leo is about self-focus, they are dignified, proud and relaxed. They don’t like being told what to do and like pleasure, to think big and lead. They struggle with boring and dull. They also know they are deserving of love and attention, thus the interesting part of Venus retrograde in Leo.

During this retrograde, we will have the opportunity to learn to give and receive with confidence, discover a level of deserving, feel admired, improve our prosperity, let go of lack, be our authentic selves/heart direct expression, at times be bold, changeable, combustible and a bit unmovable. Leo will empower us to shine our lights brightly and Venus retrograde will help us recognize how we limit ourselves in these ways! Use this retrograde to set intentions toward healing what inhibits you. When issues arise, meditate, pray, journal, use your wisdom tools to find you answers for healing or consult a confident or possibly a therapist. If you have trauma in your past, when it is triggered, you will default to the negative self-talk or beliefs from your trauma. These are all wounds that can be healed at this time with some effort on your part. It is also a time to show caution about overspending and easier to make judgement errors with spending. Be ware of impulsivity emotionally!

Dr. Lennox describes the retrograde of a planet in 3 segments where most astrologers only talk about the backward motion period of the retrograde. The first segment is what is happening now, the Rex shadow period according to Dr. Lennox. Venus began the shadow period June 18 in Leo and will trace her steps back and forth 3 times between 12-28 degrees in Leo over the next 5 months, ending October 6. This period from June 18 until July 23, is a time to pay attention to issues that come up regarding relationships, things we value & finances. This will give you an idea of what issues could arise during the actual retrograde period of July 23-Sept. 3, when we have the opportunity to grow and expand. On the 3rd segment, when Venus turns direct for the last time and retraces her steps September 3- October 6, she will fine tune the issues and changes that resulted during this retrograde cycle or push us to continue to get you to acknowledge what you didn’t understand. We also take what we have recognized and learned to move forward in life with the new changes within ourselves. Continue to build expressions of our authentic self, what we deserve, what matters, the flow of prosperity and to show more love and compassion within our lives.

The last Venus retrograde cycle was the end of 2021 to the end of January 2022. It was a powerful retrograde ending a year of chaos, deception & lot of unknown territory. In this Venus retrograde in Capricorn (structures/authority), Pluto, the planet of blowing things up that no longer work was also present. It was definitely the launching of much relationship (personal & outer world) work. I remember it vividly as I was in Kansas helping my elderly mother and got COVID near the end of my stay. I then spent an additional 10 days in my good friend’s basement where they waited on me hand and foot. Shortly after I returned home, I fell and broke my dominant arm’s elbow, then returned my status to having to be taken care of as I was not able to use my arm or hand for 6 weeks. Without a doubt, that retrograde for me was about receiving, giving & worthiness! Dr. Lennox says we all left that retrograde empowered & hopefully carried our new selves forward the past 2 yrs. so that we may build on what was born from the last retrograde into this one.

Let’s draw an Oracle Card to see what we need to empower ourselves in self-love, relationships & money in this retrograde of 2023. I drew a card from the online deck “Wisdom of the Oracle” by Collette Baron-Reid. The card I drew was: “Not For You” in protection mode. The essential meaning of this card is: A clear knowing that something is being denied you, “rejection is God’s protection.” The message goes on to say, don’t chase what flees you. Don’t obsess over what eludes you. Don’t bang your head against the wall. There is nothing romantic about what is unavailable, no prize given for torturing yourself, and nothing to be gained by refusing to see the red flags that have been waving since you began your pursuit. Now is the time to walk away. There are other goals, other games, other successes waiting for you. This is a sign you have something much better waiting for you, trust.

I interpret this to say, recognize when you are chasing someone else’s dreams, not your own. When you are seeking someone else’s truth, a need to please, a need to acknowledge self awareness. When you are involved in relationships for the wrong reason, imbalanced in the giving and receiving or knowing you are motivated by deception, fear or feeling desperate, it is a time to understand why you disconnect with the truth of your destiny to fulfill your hearts dreams. Connect with your truth, know what you deserve and settle for nothing less. Have confidence in the flow of abundance and believe you are deserving. Be proud, happy and fulfilled!

Peace & Love, Susan

I’ll Take Truth…..

July 1, 2023July 1, 2023 susangtib3 Comments

I have been thinking about evil and it’s existence lately. One thing is certain, it’s intent is to control and destroy humanity. That can be an overwhelming, fear provoking reality in many ways when the evil exist in the powers that be in society. But then I remember that it is in our nature to want to be happy and survive.

I also have read that evil usually self-destructs in time. That theory entices my optimism because I look at evil and see it sustains it’s power by the participation of their victim. So if evil destroys the thing that empowers them, how can evil win? I guess that depends on how tortured the victim is willing to be and how long their actions support empowering evil’s sustenance instead of creating change.

We all have blind spots in life and when bad things happens, we are awakened to a reality of needed change. We begin facing a crossroads in our life, evaluating if we continue down the same road or alter our course? Do we grip onto what is familiar or available, whether it helps or not? Or do we begin to explore new territory, more inclined to bring back happiness, our desired outcome. Do we have the explorer nature within ourselves to believe our path forward will guide us to something new with a positive and better outcome?

There is a card in on one of Collette Baron-Reid’s Oracle decks, “Oracle of the 7 Energies,” titled “The Land Between.” It explains you are in unfamiliar territory with an uncertain future when in transition moving toward change. The card’s picture reflects being between 2 cliffs, crossing hanging bridges to a new land mass that is floating in the air. It reflects a sense of instability, yet promising adventure to an unknown future. One of our faults as humans is we need a guarantee in taking a risk. Instead of connecting to our intuition to know if it is the right action forward to change and trusting the unknown. Understanding how our body communicates that higher knowing can bring great confidence and success. How many times after a negative incident do you say, “I knew it didn’t feel right, but I did it anyway?” If you know how your body tells you something isn’t right, do you know how it tells you when it good to move forward?

Have you ever noticed yourself when you are exploring something fun and exciting how you react during the experience. You seem to enjoy being led blindly because you know the outcome and are being rewarded positively. You feel safe and will have been entertained in the end. It is when we need to explore the unknown and not know the outcome that can throw off our confidence and sense of comfort blindly exploring our path forward. I can’t emphasize enough, how being in touch with knowing and feeling truth within your body can encourage the confidence through change.

I find several things help me to feel confident and comfort in that blind stage of discovery. One is being sure of what I want my outcome to be and to know that whatever materializes will be a vision of my truth, although not necessarily the exact replica of my vision. I say that because when you are creating something new, the unknown of the new is always part of the mix. So I have to prepare myself for the unexpected attributes of my dream and open myself to check to see if when things materialize, it aligns with my truth and my heart to know if it is the final outcome. If not, I keep learning and refining until it feels satisfactory to my dreams. But it is the knowing within myself that all will be okay because there are solutions possible that keep me from stressing or giving up. And knowing that when I wish and dream for a new solution to my dilemma, it is within my power to be part of creating a new future and my dreams will be answered. I often pray I will remain diligent to explore, until I see my truth in front of me and my dreams have materialized. The unknown can bring out detours/behaviors in us, but that is part of the process and change to get where we are headed. So it is important not to give up and continue to grow through those barriers for the good. When we dream for success, we find ourselves supported along the way when we trust what feels true.

Though evil can be scary and destructive to us by nature, it is the very thing that drives drastic change for the better. It is the rail we bump into to alert us we need to correct our course before we crash. If you feel within yourself unhappiness profound enough to provoke the idea of change, begin to dream about what you hope for instead. When the dream true to your heart begins to arrive, react with action. Trust and know that what is in your heart is meant to be. And the only thing standing in it’s way is you believing it is possible and remaining hopeful. Sometimes, that is all it takes to create the change necessary when you feel unsure how to proceed. But it is important to embrace the solution when it arrives.

In conclusion, I side with the belief that evil self-destructs. Because what evil offers is not within our nature to accept. And we need not unravel at it’s presence, but simply look another way forward. Refuse to allow fear or hatred to overcome in reaction when faced with the unknown, for it is just a time to pivot, dream, keep the faith and remain true to the truth of joy! Remain curious to what you don’t understand. Show compassion to your fellow man, because most likely, they are also trying to find their way forward the best they know how.

Peace and Love, Susan

New Moon in Gemini

June 17, 2023 susangtibLeave a comment

At 9:37pm Pacific in the northern hemisphere, the Sun and Moon are in alignment in Gemini and we have the New Moon.

The Gemini is known as the twins, those who love to learn, read, communicate & educate. They seek a well rounded amount of information about life to accumulate as many facts as possible and therefore are good mediators. They love to be in the middle of something new and socialize about the latest thing they are doing. A well disciplined Gemini will have perception through their intellect and what they have educated themselves in. On the challenging side, they can be mentally scattered & not always finish things they start, can get spread a bit to thin, find decision making difficult & sometimes find it hard to stay on task or commit to something for a long period of time. But their gift to us is their many perspectives and their passion for sharing and teaching.

This New Moon in Gemini is a time to share ideas, connect with others and recognize how we use thoughts and communication to represent who we are. A time to look at life dreams and recalibrate them to align with our authentic self. Let go of the things that no longer align with your current passions and motivations of the heart. Let go of the need to find self approval outside yourself & stay away from drama, chaos & escapism. It is a time to see new possibilities ahead and be seen. The planetary influences offer a heightened spiritual connection, intuition and healing. Take the time to connect with The Divine/God, your higher power and become more clear on your purpose in life.

Over the next 6 months, Neptune will return to Capricorn and finish breaking apart the old systems & structures that no longer work. This work began in 2008 and will end January of 2024 when Pluto moves into Aquarius. Since the New Moon is a time to plant the seed for the future. Try to align your intentions for new ideas that align with who you are. Be your individual, authentic piece to the puzzle of the world. There is a lot of change going on in the world right now. Stake your claim and voice it to your Truth Tribe, your community. The next 6 months need to be about how you want your world to be going forward. Aquarius is about sovereignty, inventiveness, technology, truth, community and fairness. Know your ideas and voice matters!

Let’s close by drawing a card and ask how we can awaken our soul to create a purposeful life? I drew a card from Collette Baron-Reid’s “The Dream Weaver’s Oracles” deck. The card was “All is Calm Upon These Shores” & the essential meaning is: a calm and centered sense of Self, radical acceptance, peaceful interactions with others, releasing attachment. The way to these calm inner shores is simple: meditation and prayer, coupled with surrendering your wants and your attachments to the will of the Divine, being humble and grateful for what is in front of you.

New Moon in Taurus

May 19, 2023 susangtibLeave a comment

The New Moon in Taurus is on May 19, 2023 at 8:53am Pacific. Taurus wants us to embody who we are and honor ourselves for all we are capable of. It is imperative we take care of ourselves before we attempt to help others. And this New Moon will push you to put your foot down and say, “I deserve this!”

Taurus is about the physical world of form and the pleasure we get from life on earth. Because it is ruled by Venus, Taurus recognizes it’s hearts desires and sets out to manifest those desires into real life experiences. The strengths of Taurus include reliability, patience, devotion, responsibility and a sense of stability. The weaker moments of Taurus can bring about stubbornness, possessiveness & inflexibility. Sudden changes often upset Taurus as well as complications & insecurity.

The past few weeks my spiritual practice has led me to know that I need to focus on what I want moving forward. To stay away from the darkness of today’s reality and put forth energy toward creation of a world that allows us each to be authentic and live out our hearts desires. Taurus supports us receiving what we want in life. The fear producing possibilities that linger and surround us can only be empowered if we spend our time and energy believing in them. We need to avoid putting energy into what we don’t want. It is within our power to create a future aligned with our hearts desires, authenticity and pleasures. Dream, act and create!

While the present planetary influences can heighten our fears, they can also be supportive to keep us out of the fear. It is up to us to decide what our experience will be. Ignore the fear mongering, chaos and divide and focus on love, sharing and creating a more balanced reality. Taurus is known to slow the process of manifestation so you can prove your worth, change what you are meant to heal, recognize what holds you back or misguides you. In setting your intentions, believe you can have the goodness in life, take action toward it and then pass on your empowerment to others. There is enough fulfillment possible for everyone on this planet.

Lets ask the cards what it is we need to know to stay focused on a deserving empowerment for an abundant and freedom loving future. I drew a card from the Oracle of the 7 Energies by Collette Baron-Reid: “A Tall Tale.” This cards key concepts are: denial, concealing the truth so you can manipulate and control a situation, fear-based communication, creating a narrative to hide behind, not allowing the fear of what others will think to influence your words, learning to communicate from a place of authenticity.

Now is the time to be brutally honest with ourselves. Recognize our short comings and gain strength to be a better person. Take responsibility for our actions and admit when we are wrong in order to change our path. Instead of tearing others down to be right or gather sympathy, show compassion and support when needed. Let go of trying to control others or their actions to manipulate an outcome. Let go of the need to hide the truth within your heart. When you trust the truth that lies in front of you, the path to your desires will open up. Until a person can be honest and take responsiblity for their weaknesses, life will continue to throw curve balls to get you to realize what you need to change to have what you desire. Dreams are fulfilled when you are in alignment with seeing what you need to change about yourself to get what you truly want. Don’t let fear, denial & lies suck your power of manifestation. Flip the coin, choose truth, trust in spirit to guide you and the confidence and prize will arrive!

I will close with my latest mantra when I want to redirect my negativity. “I am happy, healthy, wealthy, free and live in a world with justice!”

Love and Peace, Susan

Full Moon in Scorpio

May 5, 2023May 5, 2023 susangtibLeave a comment

Today is the Full Moon in Scorpio along with an eclipse involving the South Node (our past.) With the Sun (our conscious self) in Taurus & the Moon in Scorpio, it is about letting go of the things that hold you back or make you want to overcompensate or grip harder to stay safe & comfortable. Your issues surrounding success & abundance. A really big energy time to finally drop those limiting self-beliefs! Take the broken record off the turn table and listen to a new song!

This Full Moon can ignite fear. But remember, the fear is usually preventing your greatest self from living life and expressing itself. If you step through the fear, often your biggest rewards, your greatest talents in life are on the other side. Taurus in it’s dark side would prefer you stay stuck in the beliefs you don’t belong in that arena. You are not worthy, you believe in scarcity & guilt more than trusting & believing what is meant to be. On a positive, Taurus is about abundance, moving slow & steady, thriving comfortably. With Scorpio pushing growth, death & rebirth, it is a great time for shedding self-paralysis of past conditioning & wounds. Don’t let anyone convince you of anything less than your hearts desire & natural talents. That would be your projected low self-esteem being reflected back to you. Now is the time to project self-belief.

Let’s see what the cards say. What do we need to know to shed our imprisoned beliefs to thrive and grow successfully? I drew a card from the “Wisdom of the Oracle” deck by Collette Baron- Reid. The card is: “Never Ending Story” in protection mode (reversed.) The essential meaning of this card is: Self-criticism; the wounded ego; unnecessary dramas. You can’t make this up – what an appropriate card! The online description says: “Time to avoid drama at all costs, especially when it comes to other people’s “stuff.” Your sensitivity is on overload these days, and you’re best served by keeping your distance. Your mantra today is “Not my circus, not my monkeys.” All this drama will pass, and you will carry on unscathed and blameless.” I think the guide for this card says it all. Stop believing in the self-destructive, fearful beliefs of the past conditioning that do not honor your greatness. Unlock the chains and step out to show your authentic self. The scariest things in life, are most often, the most profound truths you have to offer the world. Be you!

Peace & Love, Susan

New Moon/Black Moon in Aries….

April 19, 2023April 19, 2023 susangtibLeave a comment

Tonight at 9:15pm PDT signifies the New Moon in Aries. It is considered a Black Moon because of 2 lunations occuring in the same sign. The 1st New Moon in Aries was on March 21 & at the Spring Equinox (new life, new beginnings) at zero degrees of Aries – the beginning or start-up point. It was about defining self, launching fated ambitions, deciding how you want to be seen in the world & showing leadership. This New Moon is at the final degree of Aries with a solar eclipse! Let’s talk!

With the New Moon being in the final degrees of Aries, signifies a time to look back at our previous intentions to see what we have mastered this past month and let go of to improve our self-image and goals. In setting your new intentions, use the wisdom you have gained and upgrade those intentions to empower your sense of self and how you deliver that in the world. Note that 2 hrs. after this New Moon in Aries, the Sun moves into Cancer. Dr. Michael Lennox says “our intentions have to include a shift from the Aries awareness of “me first” to being grounded in love.” How can you bring peace & stability into your life and the lives of others?

The unique thing about a solar eclipse is it affects the collective. Eclipses are known to be transformative & bumpy. You could experience a sudden unexpected change. Or your intentions could be amplified with a fast and sudden opportunity you didn’t see coming. Eclipses heighten the experience, and are transformative one way or the other. Dr. Lennox describes it as, turning something off and then turning it back on. Which seems to me like when our computer is not working and we reboot it. When it turns back on, sometimes we lose information in the process, but it functions better & we eventually adjust. Other times it turns on adjusted and is working more efficiently. An eclipse can bring forth an about face, change of direction or an amplified experience resulting in change.

Lastly, note that wounds in relationships could get triggered with the energies influencing this transformative time. You may feel a sense of heightened awareness of whether your relationship needs are being met or not. There could also be the urge to exaggerate your emotions, end relationships or start new ones. Shadows can show themselves and wounds can get rubbed. Try to see this as an opportunity to upgrade your goals and sense of self. Know if a reoccuring pattern arises in your life relationships, it is being shown to you so you can identify the needed changes for a new story. Step out and go for the inner secret desires you have hidden from the world. Avoid settling for what is unauthenically comfortable. Make better decisions, instead of asking why this always happens to me? This can also be a time of amplified intuitive downloads or visualizations. Imagine your dreams without the fear and drama when releasing them to the universe. Dream & begin taking action. Let the creator show you the way and trust as it unfolds. This can be a very amplified, destined time in your life if you open yourself to believe in your dreams and show courage to be your authentic self. The world is seeking compassionate leaders at this time to wake up to their destiny no matter how big or small.

Let’s ask the cards: Being my authentic self, how can I use my wisdom to create a more compassionate and loving world? I drew a card from the Oracle of the 7 Energies by Collette Baron-Reid. The Card is: Sacred Reverence. The essential meaning of this card is: Awe for the truth that Spirit is everywhere, inspiration coming through you as a result of reverence, joyful living, exploring possibilities with curiosity, spiritual passion, manifesting from the starting point of the realm of spirit. This card asks you to see everything as valueable in your life. See beyond the compartmentalization of your physical reality into the vastness of the interconnected whole. Understand whatever you encounter is guided by spirit, a magical experience of a dream unfolding. Whether good or bad, it is honoring your intention to be a part of transforming the world into an authentic reality. Every situation has the ability to uncover & empower what you seek in life. Even though you may not see the happy ending now, take the steps in front of you motivated by truth and trust spirit to guide you. Every step takes you closer to your life’s purpose when you dream and begin.

Peace and Love, Susan

The Full Moon in Libra

April 5, 2023April 5, 2023 susangtibLeave a comment

Tonight is the Full Moon in Libra at 9:34pm PDT. This Aries/Libra polarity is about looking at the self and the relationships we have with everything in our lives. Aries is about self/who we are/me first-I’ll lead, taking action, the first to move forward. In this lunation, Aries is shining itself on Libra which is about “we”, balance, fairness, harmony & justice. So combine these two definitions and and feel the conflicts that arise inside yourself from these two polarities.

It is also improtant to note that this is the first lunation with Pluto in Aquarius. So there are influences and the chance to create energy toward being of service, building community, finding truth, innovative thinking, intellectual, personal freedom, independence. Libra longs to find a commonality linking different perspectives while Aquarius sees things from a new & unconventional perspecitive motivated by individual freedom and a fair society. This is a pivotal Full Moon, things can change for new beginnings or fast endings in an instant. But remember the energy is supported by what we interject by our thoughts, emotions and actions moving forward.

It is important to go within to see how you need to find balance of self in this world of “we” while still being “me”. What motivates your actions and what do you need to change moving forward to find balance, love and fairness? In doing so, you will see things from a perspective of empowerment and the world will reflect back to you what you believe.

To get is to look. To have is to see. You can’t see if you don’t look for what you want to exist. Libra signafies a mirror consciousness, meaning the world reflects our perspective and beliefs back to us to create our reality.

As we know, the world is made up of both good and bad. What you choose to believe is what you will see and the world will present to you. Reflect on what inside yourself keeps you from joy, love, safety, goodness, empowerment, honesty, trust and brillance. Do you expose yourself to things that support your fear, lack of trust & safety, hate, doubt, failure, abuse, blame, guilt? When you walk away from something negative what do you look to see? Proof that it is true or to tell someone your story of why it is true and how it currently exists? The world is our mirror, reflecting our beliefs back to us. This is a powerful time to pivot our beliefs and change the trajectory of what the media is telling us, what we are currently reading that supports polarization and corruptness. What you believe is what you get. If you believe in evil, you empower evil. Evil can not have power over us unless we give it power, which comes from what we believe is true. If you are fearing the course of your life right now, know what you fear losing is indeed yours to keep and nobody can take it from you if you let go of the fear and believe in what you want. What inside yourself keeps you from having faith in the goodness of the world? Let it go!

This is a time to acknowledge the negative that resides inside yourself that motivates your actions to create a world that mirrors back the negative things in this world. It is a time to pivot your beliefs and actions toward the good things in life you want to see. It all starts with each one of us. Lets capture this moment and let go of the beliefs inside ourselves that support the negative. Choose to believe in love, joy, truth, freedom, empowerment and happiness and see what the world reflects back to you when you look for it.

Take some time to note all the negative thoughts, emotions & events you presently are burdened with in your life. Then note what actions you are presently taking that support these beliefs. Are you reading about fear inducing events? Are you spending your time with people that trigger your victim and then blaming them? Explore the things in your life that you are currently doing that trigger these negative thoughts, emotions & results. Then write down what replacement thoughts,actions & feelings you would like to incorporate & identify your positive words. What actions you can take in your life to immerse yourself in these new positives and create a healthy balance? I am not saying to bury your head in the sand, but I am suggesting you to believe in the positive while being aware. Next look to the world with these thoughts and emotions and see what is there to move toward. It can take time, but just remember, we always start to see what it is that has been called to our attention. We often don’t know it exists until we are exposed to it. Then we see it everywhere, right? You have this power within yourself to change the course of your/our reality if you become more mindful of how you spend your time, what you choose to believe exists and happens. Lets not waste this powerful time in our history to own our destiny and to join in the belief of goodness for all.

Lets draw a card and ask: How do we release, inside ourselves, what is leading us toward a life we do not want? The card I drew is from the Dreamweaver online Deck by Collette Baron-Reid – “Time to Dance Around the Sun.” This cards essential meaning is: victory after the hard work, celebration of achievements, having the advantage to win. The book written script on this card goes on to say: When it’s time to dance around the Sun you can be sure of sweet victory in all your endeavors. Perhaps you’re surprised at the sudden success? Don’t be! You have worked hard to be here now, learned many lessons and integrated their wisdom and finally chose the right actions. The Universe has been on your behalf in the Hidden Realms for some time now to co-create your dreams and weave them into reality. Yes, sometimes things take longer than you hope for, but you keep acting on faith, trusting that the form of your dreams will mainfest in perfect ways and in perfect timing. Now is a time to celebrate your good fortune and share it with others. You are the beacon of hope for many to have the courage you have shown too. In so many ways, your success gives others hope. Isn’t that a beautiful thing.

I can’t help but feel this card is saying that if we focus on the positive instead of the negative we can attain all the success this card talks about. If you are not there yet, you can be. If you are there, bask in the moment and share your positivity to teach others. Remember, the world is our mirror & our reality is a result of the collective’s actions, thoughts & emotions. It is in our best interest to be the beacon of light that shines on others in this challening time in our lives. What you give you get in return 10 times over. Be grateful for what you have and know it is there because you co-created it with the creator. Let go of the things that keep you from feeling content in this life. For that is not the mirrored result of the truth in your heart. Remember that abundance comes in many forms and if you focus on what you don’t have or might lose, you create lack in your/our life. Lets empower the good things for everyone, starting with yourself.

Peace & Love, Susan

New Moon in Aries

March 21, 2023March 22, 2023 susangtibLeave a comment

March 21, 2023 at 10:23am PDT marks the New Moon in Aries. Aries is the 1st sign of the zodiac and the beginning of the Astrological New Year. This New Moon will be at 0 degrees Aries which is considered a world axis point which represents an Equinox which affects everyone on earth at the same time in the same way. This New Moon a powerful time and is about starting new beginnings, energy, enthusiasm, and pioneering.

Aries is known to be the leader, the one to take action first, courageous, determined, confident, enthusiastic, optimistic, honest and passionate. They can also be impatient, moody, short tempered, impulsive and aggressive. It is their nature to take action, sometimes before thinking things through. They have excellent organizational skills and rarely are afraid. Aries is the most active sign of the zodiac.

The present influences will help us to communicate our needs, perceive and understand information. We will be challenged to find a way we can contribute to the greater good, given the healings from the past. There is also the ability to expand and magnify things good or bad. So it is important to recognize which way you are affected and keep balance as you move forward.

In setting your intentions for the New Moon. It is important you are aware of what is ahead. The astrologers of the world are all chanting “this is a big deal!” On March 25th Pluto will enter into Aquarius. Pluto transforms things collectively & culturally, rather than personally. It brings death and rebirth, tears down what needs to change without awareness of collateral damage. It will be in Aquarius until June, then it will retrograde back into Capricorn to finish it’s work with transforming structures. On January 21, 2024 Pluto will return to Aquarius for the next 20 years where astrologers are predicting it to transform technology, societal equality, & community. The next 2-5 yrs is said to be the most turbulent with big transformation. The last time Pluto was in Aquarius the planet experienced the ratification of the US Constitution, the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution and swept social order and rights changes. In addition to this, we have 3 Planets moving through Aries, the sign of individualism & war. Jupiter in 2023 (expand and magnifies), Saturn in 2025-2028 (the teacher, rules & structures, the task master & rules Aquarius), Neptune (2025-2039) (spirituality, intuition, illusionary, compassionate & rules Pisces). So with Pluto in it’s “one size fits all”, Aries individualism, action and war and Aquarius community, sovereignty, innovation, technology & need for the truth, we are in for quite a ride the next 20 years. Right now we currently have the power to plant seeds in this New Moon to guide us through all this with the intentions we set.

In setting your intentions, think about the polarities of all this and what is currently vulnerable and needing or pushing for change in our world. We have never been more divided and Pluto is about to say, one size fits all, come together. With this New Moon being at 0 degrees of Aries, it is a time to plant seeds for new beginnings. Who do you want to be or become over the next 20 yrs as Pluto tears things apart? What is your role for the good of all? It is time to be your authentic self, find the power of your purpose, take action and to surround yourself with people who will empower your goals. Leave behind that which does not empower authenticity and truth. It is also a time to connect with your intuition and trust it’s guidance. Is the new technology in the coming 2 decades you as a spiritual being and the power that is within? Since we are at a collective time of influence at this New Moon, it is imperative we look honestly at what we believe inside ourselves and see what the world is reflecting back at us as a result. Your intentions need to include the needed changes and how you can assist for the good of all motivated by the truth in your heart. It is a time when you can either run off the cliff with the fear, helplessness and chaos the media presents in all this, or you can choose to have courage, patience and follow your inner truth. Be motivated to act for the good of all with innovation driving the needed change toward community, freedom and truth. What is your fate and purpose on this earth?

Let’s look at what the cards say & ask: How can I be my best self to energize change for the good of all? I drew a card from The Dream Weavers deck featured online by Collette Baron-Reid. The card I drew is “ When the Storm Spirits Play”. The essential meaning of this card is understanding how to navigate divine chaos, clear the air, stir the pot, scatter seeds, bring new possibilities. (Wow, you can’t make this stuff up – I literally picked a card from her online deck and this is what I got!) Anyway this is what it goes on to say about this card: You are being asked to surrender your need to control outer circumstances, which is based on a desire to feel more certain, avoid confrontation, or resist change. This card signifies a time to trust that this chaos, this disorder, this turbulence that has shown up in your life is temporary, but important. You are now able to release the unnecessary or that which you’ve resisted releasing.

Consider how clean the air is after a storm, how dead branches are pruned from trees, and how potent seeds are scattered so new life can sprout in new soil. Even if you find yourself in conflict now, there is a gift in this. It invites you to see things from alternative perspectives and provides you with a lot of valuable information. New, important possibilities arise from the chaos at hand. For now, the highest good for you is to remain in the center of the storm. Meditate and be mindful of your reactions, as you don’t yet have all the information.

I think this card said it all. Stay focused on your long term goals and outcomes rather than get caught up in the chaos. Believe and know truth and goodness will come out of the ashes and stay guided by your heart and truth, with the intention of your actions to be for the good of all. Remain hopeful that conflict will resolve itself with fairness, peace and abundance. It is the Age of Aquarius and we have to remove what doesn’t fit into sovereignty, freedoms, truth, technology, creativity & community. Good and evil will always exist because that is reality, but like they say, there is the potential for more good than bad. You have the opportunity to be a driving part of the good if you clean up inside yourself what you are presently reflecting into the world that contributes to the negative, so it can reflect for the good of all. Let go of the fear, doubt, hatred, overwhelm and find courage, faith, honesty, how you can be of service and let spirit become your partner in guiding you forward. Time to connect with your higher self and live an authentic life. Plant those seeds and move forward to be of service for the good of all however you can.

Peace and Love, Susan
