New Moon In Libra

September 24, 2022September 24, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

The Full Moon in Libra is Sunday October 25 in the Northern Hemisphere. Libra is about aligning your inner beliefs with your outer world to create balance, fairness and harmony in relationships. Being your true self and expressing it. Having the courage to have honest conversations aligned with your heart (truth). There are influences that support the heart and spirit to align. So if you follow your heart, are motivated by love & divinely guided to do the right thing in your life, you will get where you want to be in life. Check mate for motives of co-dependency, judgement of others, manipulation & controlling others. Those are the dark side of the influence of Libra and this is a good time for them to be illuminated to heal & be let go. They can be the limiting qualities preventing us from having the relationships truly desired in life.

Fall Equinox in the N. hemisphere is a time when the length of daylight & nighttime are at a balance before days get shorter and nights longer. Spirits presence is magnified in your conscious awareness at the same time you are able to go deep into your unconscious. The light illuminates the darkness. This is an excellent time to evaluate what your inner most desires are in relationships with people and your world. It is a time to look at how those two align. Make a list and categorize what you “really” want your life to look like in relationships and day to day. Then note/categorize what your relationships are & what exists in your reality, your world. Next start to pay attention to your thoughts & emotional patterns & place them in the categories of desires vs. reality so you can be aware of the associations you have within yourself to each. Recognize what motivates you to take the actions or non-actions in your life. Is it fear, judgement or fear of being judged, thinking too far in the future, the need to know the outcomes, self-criticism, lack of worthiness, wounds from your past actions and their outcomes? This will give you a reality check of why things are the way they are in your life. Remember your outer world, your world realities are a direct reflection of what you belief inside yourself. Your inner beliefs are a mirror of your present world, acknowledge that. Journaling on a daily basis about what you are thinking and feeling also gives you something to look back over to recognize your patterns & life associations. Change can only come if you are honest about what you no longer want in your life and you take action to change.

In setting your intentions this month, know with Mercury in retrograde until early October & Mars is going into retrograde around the same time, our intentions will be slower to manifest. This gives us time to work on the issues we have that keep us from getting what we want or need in life so that we can create a truer outcome. Trust spirit to show you the way and read the signs presented. When you feel inspired to act toward your desires & truth resonates in your heart, have the courage to act. When you feel unsure, you need to keep focusing on what you want and resolve your conflict. It is very important to believe you deserve everything you desire. If you don’t, you need to know why and heal the beliefs that block you from having your desires or change course to authenticity. What you believe is who you are and what your world currently reflects back to you. Inner = Outter!

I want to share a story, today I called my vet office to request lab records for my dog before I went to pick up his prescription. When I called, I could tell that the receptionist was being bombarded with lots of calls as she didn’t answer the first attempt and then put me on hold the 2nd time, it seemed hectic. When I requested to have copies of the labs, she quickly replied “well I may not have them for you by the time you pick up the prescription.” I replied, “I understand, could you mail or e-mail them when you have time?” Because I really did understand, I could tell she was overwhelmed. She then replied very quickly, “well, I have your file right here and it’s not like you are asking me to copy the entire file, I’ll do it right now.” I was delighted and surprised by her sudden change. I truly believe she just needed some understanding & my reply created a shift in what she could and couldn’t do. My point is, we need to offer compassion to others. There are lots of moving parts in each of our lives & usually we only know a slice of another’s reality. When we offer compassion and understanding, we often have a better & more honest outcome.

Let’s draw a card: Today I am drawing from the “Wisdom of the Oracle” deck by Collette Baron-Reid. My question is what can everyone do to move closer to authenticity in their lives in relationships to self and their world? I drew “Not for you.” The essential meaning of this card from the book is: A clear knowing that something is being denied you. The book goes on to say, there are times that no matter how hard you work at something, the result you seek seems to elude you. This is a card to radically accept that not everything is available to you when you want it. There are forces who desire the best for you & have a much clearer idea of what is for your highest good. “Rejection is God’s protection.” Something much better that will make you happy is on it’s way. Sometimes the flags escape your observation or you refuse to acknowledge them. When a relationship is not meant to be, it is not possible to make it be. Think of rejection as protection from the Divine. I will leave you with the above message from the book to ponder, pay attention to what may have come into your awareness when you read this and ask to be guided to understand. Or decide if what you desire is truly what you want.

Visiting Spirit in Dreams

September 13, 2022September 13, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

A few weeks ago I talked about mediumship and mentioned a dream I use to have when I napped during the day. In case you missed it, let me revisit. I would take a nap during the day and at some point I would feel like I was a awake, but know I wasn’t. There would be these people in the room with me that would flip my nose, poke me, etc. and the whole while I would feel paralyzed, unable to move to get away from them until I would finally wake up.

I have been listening to some free seminars by Shawn Leonard the Indigenous Medium, who is promoting a year long course right now on how to get in touch with the spiritual realm. He talked about dreams yesterday. The above circumstances occur when you are having an astral dream. In Astral dreams, your soul leaves the body, but doesn’t completely disconnect and travels into the spiritual realm during sleep. He explained some times when you astral travel during your sleep, you start to wake up before your soul is back in your body. Spirits will come to help you get your spirit into your body so you can wake up. He explained, often times people will awake to a spiritual being pushing on their body and it is often interpreted as the being holding them down. In my case, the spirits were trying to get me to feel my body to get back into it fully. In either case you will feel paralyzed because you are not in your body fully, nor awake. It is nothing to be afraid of, but to allow the spirits to help so you can fully enter your body to wake up.

The Astral Dream itself, is where your soul leaves your body & enters the spirit realm where you can visit deceased people you know or unknown spirits in your dream. But the easy way to identify this type of dream is if there is a deceased person you know in them. This person never speaks in the dream, but delivers a message. I usually have dreams with a certain friend of mine, Penny who passed away over 20 yrs. ago & sometimes have dreams with my Grandmother I was closest to in them. They are usually informative or healing dreams for me. One series of dreams began shortly after my life-long friend Penny died. In this dream I would go through her death again, but then somehow she would come back to life and be living another life somewhere else & and I would encounter her. For a long time I couldn’t understand the message. But when I started to explore mediumship, I understood the dream was telling me that when you die, it isn’t the end, your spirit lives on and your life just changes. Now that I have understood this, we are meeting up in my dreams with different scenarios & processing issues we had together as children. Visiting her in my dreams has been very healing for me. And I believe it is also helping her spirit to heal while helping us both to raise our vibration and spiritual awareness.

Let’s see what the cards say about dreaming. What is it we all need to hear about dreams: Again, I used the Enchanted Map Oracle Card deck & drew the card: “Magic Stream.” The essential meaning of this card is “Everything is connected through the universal flow of consciousness.” How appropriate, right? I say, this card is about understanding your experiences are within a pool of the collective and to share them with others can be a great source of inspiration. Let go of feeling less than, intimidated or threatened by other’s greatness when they share it with you, because every person’s experience of greatness is meant to awaken or help you accept the greatness within yourself. They are mirroring to you the potential you have within yourself. You are encountering this person because your soul is calling you to awaken & hopefully to go on to inspire others to do the same. We are all made of energy and meant to evolve with one another to our true potential on this earth. This means we are able to follow our own truth path in life which helps the world to expand and broaden into a healthy society of many great ideas and view points. No one answer is the answer. It is the collective that blends to greatness that continues to evolve by the truth of our souls. In this sense, we continue to raise each other up to our highest potential to lessen the existence of a lower vibration where control, conformity, suffering, poverty and such hardship exist within it’s powerless, contained bubble. A place where we lose our individual spirit and truth. As humans we have a need to know the end result, rather than trust as we follow our hearts and faith to find our way through our destiny in life. We have to live more by trust in our truth, than believing what someone has proven to work for them as our own truth. It is a continual evolving process that we as humans could benefit to find comfort in. I feel as we move further into the age of Aquarius, it is important to balance the vibration levels of our population so that we can come together to live a more balanced life where community exists and we vibrate at a more hopeful, empowered and loving way. Time to tap into your own truth & support the creativity of others truths to create your way forward that serves your life’s purpose for the good of all.

Full Moon in Pisces

September 9, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

Saturday, Sept. 10 in the northern hemisphere is the Full Moon in Pisces. This means we have the Sun (conscious awareness) in Virgo (the body/daily routines) & the Moon in Pisces (the unconscious, spirit, oneness, intuition, dreaminess, feeling connected). With these two in opposition it is generally about the spirit realm and the human body/reality. The push and pull between dreams vs. day to day, intuition vs. logic, passions/desires vs. responsibilities, spirit vs. flesh/physical world. Dr. Michael Lennox, Astrologer says, “We are being bombarded with a lot of Pisces energy at this time, but we are also being deeply guided as Neptune (planet of spirit) the ruler of Pisces is very close to the moon & playing a part in the influences of this Full Moon.”

Every Full Moon is a time to release what no longer works for us. In this Full Moon we can learn to apply time to our daily devotion, whether it is prayer or meditation in order to deepen our connection to spirit. Become conscious of what we keeps us from devoting time to connecting with spirit and let it go. Pisces can be emotional & this powerful connection to everything will surely stir things up in that department. Overall, it is a wonderful time to open ourselves up to a stronger relationship with spirit and empower our lives toward what it is we really want in life. With the world moving so fast and propelling us forward this year, this Full Moon brings the energy advising us to slow down so we do not miss the lesson that stands between us and our truest desires.

The other planetary and astrological signs say we need to find middle ground, forgiveness, have healing conversations, focus on the tug awars within, clarify misconceptions. It may also be a time for some to re-evaluate, reorganize or revise plans already set in motion. Once you let go of things you thought you wanted, but realize they were not truly your desire, be brave to change course. There is supportive energy right now to get in touch with what is the right thing to do, no matter how hard it may be. To manifest your truest life in alignment with who you really are, tap into what lights you up, your desires & mindfully set intentions. Take the necessary actions to get what it is you really want. Pay attention to the limitations you place on yourself when acting on a desire and let them go! Lack has no place in manifesting your truest desires in life. Be sure to start small, something attainable & as you empower you’ll find bigger is attainable!

Lets see what the cards have to say about connecting to spirit more fully during this heightened time. I drew “Protecting Treasure” from the Enchanted Map by Collette Baron-Reid’s deck. The essential meaning of this card “You are always protected & Divinely directed.” I say, when you get in touch with how spirit guides you in your life, you will learn to trust divine inspiration. You will feel safe because you will know what is true and what is not true. You can overcome fear when you take a risk in a new direction in your life because it will be backed up with solid confidence and sound evidence of your desire. If you feel otherwise, it is not the right action. Enjoy this wonderful time to get in touch with your inner truth and intuition as the mega power is all around us right now.

Looking Beyond

September 2, 2022September 4, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

In reflecting on the concept & belief of how we are all one, that we are all connected to a higher consciousness becomes more apparent when you tap into the spiritual realms, the other side where we go when passing on from this physical life. It seems to me, my opinion anyway, when we leave our bodies our spirit rejoins the collective energy with which our energy level resonates, at the time of our death. It seems we also maintain our connections to the experiences, family & life on earth we have left behind. When we regain our ability to move our energy after death on the other side, we can help guide truth & love from the spiritual realm, if we are of that energetic level. I wonder if we have not accomplished our full karmic lessons on earth, if we continue to work on that in spirit before moving on to the next lifetime? It seems to me, when we are born into a physical body, we are here to try to learn how to navigate that collective spiritual energy in a physical body without being sidetracked by all the earthliness. To understand the collective & live by it on earth, could possibly indicate an easier karmic life. Seems you would be a mindful person of your thoughts, emotions and actions with the perspective you are here to serve your community toward a better life. Your life actions (spiritual, physical, mental, emotional) could empower supportive energy to those who need guidance in their free will through life. Rather than trying to control and limit others in your guidance, if you live life mindfully with truth, love & intent, your life would empower others naturally.

In Astrology, they talk about your souls purpose on earth being oulined by the South Node and the North Node locations in the Houses and Astrological signs of your birth chart. The South Node location illustrates your past lessons of your previous life (time to let those go as they are learned) & the North Node, idicates your lessons for this life time. Your Karmic life in other words & the lessons you encounter in your lifetime. To understand your personal past & future, you can look at which one of the 12 Houses the North Node & South Node each fall into on your birth chart. Some birth charts may just show the North Node depending on which search site you use to generate your birth chart. If that is the case, you just look at the polar opposite house to find your South Node. Example, if your North Node (future) is in your 7th house, the South Node (past) will be in your 1st House. Suggesting that in your past life, you accomplished mastery over the aspects of the1st House (the self, identity, persona, appearance, body, face, expressions & attitudes.) You are here to learn about the 7th House, (committed partnerships, marriage, equality, interpersonal style, contracts.)

Of course each of the 12 Houses is represented by an astrological sign, so you want to look to see which sign the North Node House is & which sign your South Node House is. To continue this example, 1st house is Aries (energy, looks for challenges, has vitality, is courageous, wants routine, loves to invent ideas & activities friends can enjoy, can be hot tempered but easily forgives & can be impulsive). The 7th house is Libra (happiest when their life is balanced, have equal amounts of everything in their life and there is harmony, artistic, needs love and companionship, perfectionistic with the need for balance to be happy, low tolerance when things are not fair & can take a long time with decisions because they have to consider all aspects first.)

So when you combine all these traits and challenges, you get an idea of how this would affect this persons life presently with the life lessons they experience. Maybe they have control issues in relationships/friendships, have trouble finding the perfect relationship & marry later in life because of it, are good at finding people who work well together and organize worthy projects that potentially benefit everyone in some way. Can create innovative ideas or projects that continue to evolve postively over time. Take issue when feeling a lack of fairness or someone neglects an aspect of importance to them. Just some ideas & accessments from the above information.

Whatever your purpose is in this life, it is important to remember as you learn and grow, you influence the reality we all live in by your intention and actions. If you are facing barriers you can’t get around, embrace it, send it love and look for the solutions the universe has to provide when you surrender to the fight, anger or disagreement. For every problem, there is a solution, but you have to open yourself to see it. And in doing so, you are empowering the collective on this earth to do the same. We all have a right to our place on this earth & nobody or entity is more deserving than the other. Only we can give more power to others and make ourselves less than. Some of us need to raise our vibration more than others, to be awakened & each of us can help if we are moving forward to accompishing our truth in a loving way. The higher the collective energy is on this earth, the less suffering for everyone. I think that may be what they mean when they say, “Heaven on Earth!”

This post was ultimately inspired by the passing of a friend, RIP Gary, you made a footprint for the better on this earth & touched many lives by being a good human being!

Peace & Love, Susan

New Moon in Virgo

August 27, 2022August 28, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

August 27th in the USA marks the New Moon in Virgo. During the New Moon, the Sun aligns with the moon so we have our conscious & unconscious together making it a great time to set intentions. Virgo is the ruler of the body, details, precision, putting things back together with focus on self-care, health, daily routines. This also applies to our spiritual & emotional bodies. Virgo is ruled by Mercury (the mind) & Chiron (the great healer.) So together, as Dr. Michael Lennox so brilliantly points out, Virgo season is naturally the time of year you should be setting your resolutions for the next 12 months, not January!

With the influences of the planets and signs presently, it is a time to create something new, but it is important to build a strong foundation. Be clear on your motives to create, have courage and be sure you are deserving of your desired outcome! Creating something new could mean having to give something up. Or it could be the path you are on is not the path you need to continue. The fork in the road so to speak. This could include changes in relationships or relationship roles. Or perhaps, you build on what you have been working on. Maybe you have overcome a lot of lessons and are ready to refine your project. Follow your truth to continue and ensure it is not a form of escape. Keep paying attention to the prompts from spirit for adjustments & be open to what might need to shift or change. Growing and learning are a ongoing process, so be open to advice or criticism. Let it empower you as you enjoy your successes and continue to strengthen your foundation.

In setting your intentions, write them down & believe you can have it. Visualize it and attach the emotions of love, gratitude & compassion to the intention. Lastly set the plan in motion, take action of some sort. Even if it is just doing jumping jacks, letting the universe know you are kick starting the creation.

Let’s draw a card. The question I will ask for everyone is, how do I work through the barriers to deserve what I want? The card I drew from the Enchanted Map Deck is “Storm Fields” in protection. This card says, now is not the time to engage in any activity that brings unwanted chaos or drama into your life. This kind of storm can be destructive & you’ll regret your actions later. Find shelter & let any turbulence pass, then you will be heard. I say, find peace with what is in your heart. If there is resistance to your dreams, dig deep to see what is attached to the resistance to heal. Make shifts as they are comfortable, pushing yourself just enough to create the change needed without blowing up the scenario. When things adjust, push more as you gain confidence and feel stronger to face opposition with grace & strength. This will build your self-worth & ability to deserve. Know, if you are inspired to think of an idea & it lives in your heart, it is possible. Always be aware of your motives before you act.

Peace & Love, Susan

New Moon Coming!

August 23, 2022August 24, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

The New Moon in Virgo will happen this Saturday, August 27th. Backing up a bit, the Sun moved into Virgo on the 22nd & since August 20, Mercury (issues/lessons of the mind) has been sitting in it’s shadow & will continue to do so until it retrogrades September 9th to early October. Mercury rules Virgo (about organization, details, putting everything into place, the physical body & it’s processes).

I wanted to share, because this week is a time to pay attention to issues that arise with interaction, communication, thoughts & processing mind patterns. The incidents or negotiations that happen this week will give you a hint of what the Mercury retrograde over the next 6 weeks will be about for you & what issues/lessons may present themselves. This gives you a chance to start focusing on what is ahead.

Now and during Mercury’s retrograde journey, there will be 3 times that Mercury encounters influences with potential to trigger irritations. Starting with later this week with Mercury sitting in it’s shadow, then again when it turns around/goes retrograde and then a 3rd time when it turns around again and begins it’s path forward. Presently this week starts off in a positive with empowered use of our voice, but as the week progresses, we move into agitations that can influence the power of persuasion & turn communication into necessitated conversations. Again, pay attention to the issues that come up inside yourself, as this could be a hint of what the retrograde will be for you over the next 6 weeks.

As we move toward the New Moon and our time to plant the seeds of intentions, it is important to look yourself in the mirror and decide if the direction you are heading is true to your hearts desire, bodily health and if you believe you are deserving of it all. If you are true to yourself in your intentions, you are capable of materializing your dreams and they will last as long as your truth. This New Moon will be like setting your resolutions for the remainder of the year. More on the New Moon this Saturday.

Lets draw an oracle card to see what everyone needs to know about this week. I drew the card “The Storyteller.” The essential meaning of this card is: identity, positive self-definition, teaching others how to treat you through the stories you tell about yourself.” I say – if you want to create positive change in your life, it starts with the stories of your life and your experiences. Do you tell the same victim stories over and over. Are you a hard luck Harry? How does that serve you as a person being a victim or painting a particular self-image to others or the images you send to the world? How you talk to yourself and the guidance you give yourself is of equal importance to your direction in life. Change begins with you. Remember the world is a reflection outwardly of your inner self. To head toward your dreams and goals, you need to be in touch with the truth inside yourself to propel your life forward. Be aware of the motivations behind your actions and communications because that is what guides your future. The Universe can only respond to who you are and what you are deserving of. The rest of your misguided actions have to be worked out until you have reached truth. You can thank this retrograde for helping points those aspects out! Wishing you well as you navigate to fill your dreams.

Dreams of Manifestation

August 18, 2022August 18, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

Last night I listened to a monthly focus talk by Collette Baron-Reid before I went to bed. She credited learning about manifestation from Unity Church. She said to manifest, it is about creating the feeling of how you want to feel. It is about the essence, not the form. You need to trust spirit will guide you toward the form of what is in your truth. So instead of just seeing & visualizing, you need to create the feeling of the end result. How you will feel when you are doing what it is you are wanting to do or have. She also stated the importance of aligning yourself with people who help create the essence of who you want to become. Avoid being with people that are negative, talk bad about others or are not supportive of you. Be particular who you spend your time with. Remember several weeks ago, I talked about your “Truth Tribe?” Well here you go! Also, you have to take action when spirit sends you urges to follow, you can’t just expect everything will materialize without action.

To be honest, I didn’t sleep that well last night as I woke up in the middle of the night and could not go back to sleep. I tried some homeopathy that usually helps, but it didn’t. So I resorted to laying there with a clear mind and creating how I wanted to feel. Maybe I could manifest sleep! I later woke up with the memory of this dream. I was at a place of business to meet with someone for a reason I don’t remember. It was an open room with lots of cubicles filled with employees. They all seemed to be artist and created their artwork during their breaks in their cubicles, which were displayed. As I walked around I saw their many creations & everyone was so kind and generous, some sharing their work. I then met with this lady who was supportive of me and welcoming. I left my purse at her desk as I got engaged with some other people and their art. After many interactions, I suddenly remembered I left my purse at the ladies desk and was a bit stressed about it, so I rushed back to get it. It was there amongst several people safe and when I picked it up, it was full of of clusters of folded dollar bills. I didn’t understand how the money got there and started to look through it to see how much was there. I was delighted about this good fortune, but felt unsure about how it got there and not clear it was really mine, something I need to process, then I woke up.

This dream illustrated to me I need to put myself amongst passionate, creative & artistic people to manifest what I want in life. This months astrological influences have been very strong for me. The fixed signs have left me feeling depressed & resistant to doing things. Therefore I have not been blogging much. Last night I wanted to write something, but felt no motivation & great resistance. But I did feel the urge to watch Collette’s talk in my subscribed Oracle Circle Group on manifestation which led me to this dream, which led me to understanding more deeply what she was saying. When you follow your urges, which I believe is spirit, it will lead you to your solutions. Because look, here I am writing a blog I have not been able to do for almost a week!

Let’s see what message the cards have for us today! I am using the “Enchanted Map” by Collette Baron-Reid. I am asking what everyone needs to know about their manifestation. The card I drew was “Intention” in protection mode. The card book specifically says: Are you clear about your intentions, or are you in a foggy state of denial about your true motives and/or ambitions? In general it goes on to say, step back, gain perspective & clarify your direction. Check your motives and ask if they are sincere. Are you pursuing goals blindly without asking it’s cost? Time to regroup, self-evaluate & self-nurture. You will benefit greatly. I say, you have to trust what you feel inside when trying to create something for yourself. Are you influenced by possibly just the amount of money you can make, but have no passion for what you are pursuing? Are you interested in something, but don’t really enjoy doing it, yet continue to try to create it? What is it that fulfills you? What makes you happy? Maybe you don’t believe what you really want is possible or you don’t deserve it. If that is the case, you need to look inside yourself and see how denying yourself serves you. What do you get from lack, not doing or having? Does it bring out something in your relationship with others that you like? These are just some examples. Find a way to heal what keeps you from being you and living your passions in life. Love, abundance, prosperity, happiness, etc. are awaiting you to live your best life. Find out what is standing in the way of you accomplishing what your heart desires in life.

Full Moon in Aquarius

August 11, 2022August 28, 2022 susangtib2 Comments

At 6:35pm Pacific the Full Moon will hit in Aquarius. Remember the Full Moon deals with the unconscious and letting go. Aquarius created the concept of community & is about how we can all serve the community. Opposing the Moon is the Sun, our conscious mind that is still in Leo. Leo is about serving the self, identifying our personal talents, leadership skills & gifts. The shadow to Leo is the ego, attachment to attention, self-inflated sense. So in the Full Moon we have energy that pulls between the Sun & Moon challenging us to identify how we bring our talents and leadership forward to serve the community & what issues needs to be released to do so.

Other influences are Saturn (the teacher) in an amplified position demanding we learn the lessons before us & Saturn can cause breakdowns, stopping us in our tracks to make sure we are learning the lessons. Because Aquarius who is ruled by Uranus ( the great awakener) there are the same influences of the New Moon because Uranus (the Great Awakener) is still hanging out with the North Node ( the future) & Mars (action) where the influence are hurdling us forward to wake up & fast. Lastly we have Chiron ( the great healer) hitting our South Node ( the past, old wounds we are trying to get away from) which gives us the influences to heal our past & our deep wounds. With Saturn present, there is the amplified demand to heal & let go, which will likely happen whether you accept the challenge or not.

So to summarize the influences of this Full Moon, we are being pushed into figuring out who we are so we can more effectively to serve the needs of the community which is being hurled forward blindly by all the demands of the fast changing future while having old wounds & our past brought up and demanding we heal and release these wounds to improve our leadership skills. The more in touch you are with how you are feeling, the ability to decipher truth & understand what in our past is needing to be released will help you process the inner changes needed to heal & create. This is a demanding time. It is to our benefit to ditch the old days of coasting through life without paying attention to how our future is being molded. A time to discover how we each can influence the future by living our truth or accept living your life by the will of others.

Lets see what the cards say about what we need to know about this Full Moon for our highest good. The card I drew is from the Enchanted Map by Collette Baron-Reid, “Ghostlands”. The essential meaning of Ghostlands is: You learn from the past and imagine the beautiful future, but you must live in the here & now. This card talks about staying in the now. To think beyond today has no substance. And to reflect on the past & try to change the past has no power in today. It is okay to revisit and remember what was & dream about the future, but you can’t live in either. My intuition says that when you are unsure of yourself it is a time of learning. When we feel blind, it is the time to turn to your faith and let spirit guide you. You have to read the signs and opportunities that are presented to you while you focus on faith & hope for your future. We can’t know what the future is, but we make choices that can guide us toward our future like stepping stones. Today is about the choices you make, the hope & faith you send for your future and the ability to choose at the fork in the road toward your truth & the good of all.

This post is inspired by Dr. Michael Lennox & Collette Baron-Reid and the many other spiritual teachers in my life. If you would like personal, tailored guidance check out the services on my web page at http://www.giftedtruths.com.

New Moon in Leo

July 27, 2022July 29, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

Hold on to your hats folks, because we are in for a ride. This new moon in Leo on July 28th signifies a time to be playful, personal self-expression, leadership, a time of joy and action. Other influences will be the possibility of the expansions of abundance, the teacher & reckoner of lessons & lastly a huge thrust forward toward the future with an awakening in mind. The most significant energy started a few days before the New Moon & peaks on the 31st. It involves the North Node (energy guiding us into the future), Uranus (the great awakener where anything can & will happen), Mars ( the planet of action) conjuncting (melding of planet energies) in Taurus (smart, ambitious & trustworthy). This conjunction is being compared in significance to 2020 where Jupiter (global expansion), Saturn (the teacher) & Pluto (death & rebirth) were in a great eliminator angle to the North Node (the future). That angle said, we are leaving the old world behind and moving into a new direction, into the new world that has been being created right under our noses & many of us have not been paying attention. I think we can all agree that 2020 forever changed our lives. Now 2 yrs. later we are entering Uranus (the great awakener) going into retrograde for 10-14 weeks, 18 degrees of Taurus (smart, ambitious & trustworthy). Uranus will be completely still when it is conjunct with the North Node (move us to the future) & Mars (planet of action). When a planet is not moving (Uranus), it’s energy is way more powerful. Therefore what is ahead, is Uranus sending us a lightening bolt of energy to move us forward into the future with the intention of waking us up, however we need awakened! If you know your natal chart, you can look up which House Taurus is in to prepare how the energies will affect you. If not, you can go to https://www.astro.com/cgi/chart.cgi to see your natal chart and find out, but it would require you to know your birth time, birth location & your date of birth for an accurate chart. If not, think back on the past 7 months and where your challenges have been in life & that will be your clue. The message here is, this bolt of energy can be either negative or positive for your life, depending on how awake you are and how much work you have done in this area of your life.

With each New Moon, it is a time to set intentions. How you set your intentions with the influence of Leo (and other influences) will affect how you will be propelled forward to accomplish these seeds you plant. This time should be about expressing ourselves in the world for the good of all. Work toward tapping into your personal creative expression & sharing your individual gifts with the world. It is a time to move forward in the world with your purpose & put it into action. It is advised by Astrologer, Michael Lennox to plant your intentions more in how you want to feel than the actual form you want it to take. As Uranus does not care whether it is good or bad & depending on where you are at with your growth, you will be thrust forward powerfully ready or not. Remember to every positive, there is a shadow (lessons to be learned before you can have what you wish for & our wishes are not always in the form we want, but in the form we need). Don’t wish on a star you are not prepared to handle in growth & awareness to accomplish it. Come from an authentic & honest place.

How can you help humanity at this crazy time when we are being forced into a future blindly that none of us knows the outcome? Think in the long term, not the short term. Don’t get caught up in finger pointing at people who are not awake or contributing to the things you oppose. Be a beacon of light, meditate for the good of the collective to awaken in a healing sense or to manage the thrust forward into expansion with support, grace, peace and love. Connect with spirit in a partnership and use the wisdom gathered as you follow your heart forward. We all are in this together and the best thing we can do is extend goodness to everyone to best benefit positive change. No matter how crazy this world seems right now, know that your actions make a difference in shifting the course of the outcome. We always have a choice even when it appears there is no hope. Having hope is what stirs the pot to provide momentum forward.

Lets see what the cards have to say & I will ask: What is it we all need to know in this abundant, awakening time to show leadership & remain optimistic? Using Wisdom of the Oracle deck by Collette Baron-Reid I drew: “Building Blocks” in protection mode. This card is saying (from the book) it is time to evaluate the values & convictions in your life. Let go of things that no longer serve your vision moving forward. Remove the rotten pieces and reinforce your core moral strength & integreity. Now is the time for rigorous honesty, for you are called to renovate and upgrade your consciousness! Spirit has a beautiful blueprint of our life far beyond your imagination. Don’t be afraid to replace what’s not solid. Well, I think the deck’s book explained it pretty well, but I’ll share my intuitive thoughts as well. Time to get in touch with what you have been longing to do, allow yourself to be who you are and demonstate it. Believe in your drive, passions and creativity. Start something and see where it leads you. Make necessary changes to tweak your path forward to stay on course as you grow and see change. Let go of what drags you down and no longer serves your highest good. Let go of your grip on familiar and comfort because these are opposite times. Trust your partnership with spirit moving forward to help guide you into the unknown. When you are being true to yourself with the good of all in your intentions, you will be lead to opportunities of self-fullfillment. If you act on those opportunities you will benefit the world by spreading your talents that can affect others in a positive way. Don’t let the bumps in the road stop you. Have courage, lock arms with the people who give you the strenth to fulfill your purpose.

Regrouping your Dreams

July 23, 2022September 18, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

Today is a day to move toward your dreams feeling confident and to speak about what is important as the air & fire are present & Venus is still in Cancer, so there is accepting energy surrounding and supporting us. That won’t last for long, as the New Moon on July 28th will come with more unpleasant emotion! So make good use of the present influences that support being heard. I you are not sure how to proceed, take some time to regroup, let your mind play, open yourself to hear spirit.

Lets ask the cards what it is we need to know about moving forward with our dreams in case you are feeling a little stifled: I used the Wisdom of the Oracle Deck by Collette Baron-Reid. The card I drew was: “Round and Round” in protection mode. This card tells us we need to look at our patterns in life and recognize how we keep repeating the same scenarios. Take accountability for how you participate in creating the reality. This requires honesty, tapping into our motivation before you speak, act & do. What is your perspective? Are you considering how you may affect others with your actions before taking them? Or are you fearing the result as you act? Or are you just frustrated so you neglect your responsibility? All actions create waves and it is good to take time out to clear your head. If you don’t know where to start, ask spirit to guide with an outcome that is focused on the good for all. Being of service when you are doing for yourself is always a great perspective. Maybe you need spirit to bring you courage to begin, or the wisdom of just listening and asking for the right time to share your wisdom. Maybe you need more education to broaden your knowledge or skills. Perhaps spirit will send someone to support you in motivating action? But if you come from a perspective of thoughtful, honest energy asking it be carried out with love and grace, your best result will come. Be open to the opportunity when it presents itself and trust in your heart when it feels right to proceed. Remember that spirit isn’t always going to bring you exactly what you ask for, but will bring you what you need to grow toward your goals in life. The one thing you can always trust is the truth within your heart that serves for the good of all. Let that be your roadmap forward.
