Sign of the Times

July 19, 2022July 19, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

Last month I watched an Astrology Summit hosted by Astrologer, Suzanne Gerber. One of the recent, standout interviews was with Astrologer, Barbara Hold Clow who spoke on Chiron’s Rulership & the Virgo/Pisces Polarity. I found her discoveries to be fascinating and thought I would share some of the highlights of her interview since it is so relevant to our world today.

In 2011, Barbara looked ahead and saw that in January of 2020 a Saturn & Jupiter conjunction along with several other significant planets would cluster in rule-oriented Capricorn. She predicted the world would experience a break down of human society, which in real time, kicked off the rise of the global pandemic. In 2011, she was heavily criticized within the Astrology community for this prediction & on some level abandoned her practice & went into writing books of fiction to express what she believed true through a different medium. She also talked about how in December of 2020, Saturn & Jupiter aligned in Aquarius marking the beginning of a new age, Aquarius. This is significant because we will continue to have 2 planets in Air Signs until 2059. This differs from the traditional/authoritative influence we are leaving as we move deeper into Aquarius where the influences point us toward focus on the collective well-being, logical thought & innovative growth. 2021 was loaded with 785 yr. old transits which continued to shake our world. More immediate to the ushering in of Aquarius, is that Chiron, the Great Awakener & Healer will complete it’s first orbit cycle around the sun in 2027 since being first sighted in 1977. Barbara predicts we will experience a huge awakening of some kind. She says “It will be an explosion of ensoulment & enlightenment.” She urges people to “awaken to your spiritual awareness and recognize what is going on. Understand the planetary/astrological signs influences are real.” So in other words, now is the time for the masses to go within and start to heal their wounds which can lead to a higher consciousness of mankind. The more people heal, the more empowered our society will be to help others and be of service as the influences move us toward a community-oriented Aquarian age. Most importantly, the more you heal building up to 2027, the better you will handle the completion of Chiron’s lunar cycle. The host of this summit, Astrologer Suzanne Gerber added, “Chiron isn’t just about self-healing, it is about giving back.” She went on to say, “When we do our own work, it uniquely positions & molds us to help others.”

I felt this interview told a similar story of what we have experienced in 2020-now, where we are headed and what the outcome could be. Let’s see what the cards say! My question is: “What is it we need to know about healing of our wounds & awakening to spiritual guidance in our daily lives?” I drew the card “Making a Choice.” The essential meaning of this card is – You are required to come to a decision now. You are faced with a dilemma or a fork in the road and must make a conscious decision regarding the next right action. Wow, how right on is that?! Even if you don’t know where to begin, a starting point is always asking to be guided with the intention of your outcome. Trusting the signs that feel right and acting with a pure motivation in your actions. If your wounds are bigger than you, it is important not to bury them, but to reach out for the level of support you need to heal. The more you bury, the more significant the outer world reflects mishaps in your life & failed relationships. Get quiet, let go of all the self-criticism, fear, frustration and ask spirit to give you information to guide you in the right direction. Trust in spirit and begin the steps to heal now. Get ready for the great awakening that lies ahead. Now is the time! One step at a time.

I hope you have enjoyed this information. Of course I always say to read and reflect. Take what feels right and investigate further to conclude what doesn’t. These are simply a few thought provoking perspectives in a big pool of humanity! Let spirit guide you to find your place in the scheme of things. Hopefully your place will include upgrading humanity & community!

The Full Moon in Capricorn!

July 12, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

Wow, when you think astrology couldn’t get anymore crazy it does. We are currently in Cancer (self-care, rest, safety) and the Full Moon in the opposing sign of Capricorn (ambitious desires & goals, climbing that steep mountain to a higher vantage point of view to understand the world), a goal-oriented, deeply spiritual sign. Although we need to rest and take care of ourselves, we still need to climb that mountain to see what all is going on around us from a higher vantage point to accomplish our desires and be aware. Then we have Uranus present (the great awakener & anything can and will happen) along with the North & South Nodes crossing the Full Moon forming what they call a Mystical Rectangle. Which is about releasing the past and moving forward into the future while releasing our unconscious wounds. This stimulates the desire to move forward, but it needs to be done in a self-care oriented manner to unfold our ambitions successfully. This is a rare occurrence to have a planet that wakes us up aligned with the collective. The best thing you do is to rest, stay focused on self-care and to watch from a grounded spiritual place as change catapults us forward remaining open and vulnerable without fear and resistance because it could feel like we are being shot forward like a rocket. It is like knowing you are going through a storm and getting caught up in the wind and rain. But knowing when the storm is over, our unconscious has benefited from the nourishment from the moisture and the wind blowing the seeds in the hope of new life. There is so much spiritual support right now, we don’t have to know what it is we are supposed to release in order to move closer to what it is we are on this earth to accomplish. The more comfortable you are with emotional vulnerability, allowing yourself to use emotions to your benefit, rather than be crushed by them, the more successful you will be during this awakening. It will greatly benefit the greater good if you can rest and relax during this ambitious time and stay focused on a positive outcome. Lets see what the cards say.

My question is “What do we need to release to be able to remain vulnerable during this time of magnified change?” The card I drew from the ”Enchanted Map.” Oracle deck by Collette Baron-Reid is ”Protecting Treasure!” The essential meaning is: ”You are always protected & divinely directed.” Today I am going to site the books meaning – it goes on to say: Although this is a time of great risk, know that at a fundamental level you are able to move forward safely & securely. Guardian angels and other guides are whispering to you, making you aware of their protective presence. Nurture what you hold dear, strengthen bonds of friendship and ensure their integrity. If you feel tested at this time, know that a true and loyal heart always achieves its aim. You are not alone and have no need to fear. Embrace your courage. I’ll add to let go of your fear driven motives and forgive the fear that has driven you in the past to avoid the growth of pain. Avoid blocking change with resistance and control that end in misaligning your heart and the intelligence of truth. Given I am not feeling well and my intuitive skills are a bit weak, I will close with the above wise words, mostly from the Enchanted Map and it’s written meaning. Take care everyone!

The astrological information above was inspired by Dr. Michael Lennox, Astrologer.

It’s a New Moon in Cancer

June 28, 2022June 28, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

Hey everybody, we are entering into a new moon tonight & that means it is time to set intentions. The Moon moving into Cancer means we are dealing with self-care, mothering, our feminine side, nurturance, home, family & birthing something new. A time to reflect on what you need to do to ensure your own well-being and your health is taken care of before you try to help others. With outer influences mixed in, there is potential for inner rage to come to the surface when an old wound gets touched in our unconscious. There is also the possibility to be impulsive, move too fast or overreact. Therefore it is a good time to slow down and not over extend yourself so you can come from a healed place. This is a time of rebirthing of new ideas, so it is important to listen, ask questions, learn and not over react. Cancer helps us retreat so we can take the time to find middle ground. Make personal comfort a priority so you can reflect your voice to promote change from a conscious place that heals and comforts others instead of blurting out from a frazzled, hurt place. This can be a very volatile time if we join the rage instead of joining the healing of our hurts and wounds. If your fear is rising, have faith, send love to what scares or angers you. Ask spirit to guide you to help usher in healthy change. This is a good time to set intentions to for self-care, family wounds with an emphasis on mother wounds and how to help the world to heal as we navigate what seems impossible. Ask for wisdom of knowing when to listen, ask questions, communicate and act.

Lets draw a card to see what spirit wants us to know as we rebirth with the world and heal our inner wounds of self-care. I drew a card from the Oracle of the 7 Energies: The card is “Wish Upon a Star.” The essential meaning of the card is: intentions based on your desires and aspirations, the act of consciously committing to a vision, sacrificing something of value, gambling on yourself, trusting that dreams can become reality, the importance of daydreams. My intuition says, if you are feeling out of control, remember what you think and feel is energy you send, affecting your world. Put your dreams to work and send hope with your visions of a balanced outcome. Have faith in truth and goodness. Believe that what is best for everyone is possible. Send love to the things you can’t resolve or support and ask for the healing of truth to happen. Stay focused on the good of all and believe in your heart that love and truth will win. Let go of outcome specific outcomes to your concerns and believe that whatever happens will result in prosperity, health, fairness and community. Good vs. evil, truth vs. lies & love vs. hate will always exist. Let’s put our energy into tipping the scale toward love, good & truth!

Thanks to the inspirations of this New Moon from Dr. Michael Lennox, Astrologer & Collette Baron-Reid, Oracle & Spiritual teacher.

Repeating Dreams & the Gifted Awakening…

June 25, 2022June 25, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

For the past couple years I have been having these repetitive dreams my husband divorces me. I could never understand what my subconscious message was & always felt a little fearful the dream might come true. In my heart I knew it was not true, but it did motivate me to evaluate who I was in my marriage & what I could do better. During this process, it came to light that my husband was feeling fear of me leaving him, how ironic! (Inner world=outer world). At this stage, I was still not understanding the deeper meaning of the dream. However, through the self-evaluation I have come to learn to open myself to love and admiration more. To be kinder and handle things with more grace, but still acknowledging things that make me angry or frustrated without less acting out. I have become more aware of my feelings of pushing people away & even my dogs away when they are too nice to me or show me pure love. Recognizing the ways I need to find balance in accepting the goodness in my life.

On the Eve of the Summer Solstice my dream reoccurred, but shifted a bit. I dreamt I was married to this man, who in real life I have never met & we were living in a house with lots of clutter, in real life I don’t live in much clutter. In the dream I told him I realized he didn’t really love me. His look back at me told me it was true. We then decided for the upcoming holiday, (in the dream it was Thanksgiving) he would spend it with his family & I would stay home. He needed separation. Next I saw him drive off with his family without me, they were all so happy and it left me with a familiar, yet horrible feeling I was unable to pinpoint in the dream. I felt awful being home alone in the clutter and was concerned of what my present day husband (conscious twist) would think of me living in all this clutter. I was embarrassed & fearing judgement. The rest of the dream I do not remember in such great detail, but it entailed me driving somewhere north (the future) in anticipation of getting this job and a new place to live. Someone referred me to this job of which I felt needy & overdependent to get, because I was in survival mode and unemployed. All day I couldn’t pinpoint the feeling I felt seeing my husband (the dream husband) driving off with his family. That evening, as I lay in bed trying to relief some neck & shoulder pain with massage & pressure, I started to think about how I should write about ancestral healing & finding your roots. Going inward to hear spirit as I put pressure on my pain points, I resonated with the feeling in my dream I couldn’t define, it was rejection. My dream was symbolic (the unknown husband/cluttered house) & it was showing me I had “unconscious rejection” (not being able to define the feeling in the dream.) It was illustrating how my inner rejection was playing out in my outer world unconsciously, leaving me a victim. Because I was not conscious of the feeling of rejection, it leads me to believe the rejection is deeply rooted. The second part of the dream illustrates what I typically do when I am at a starting over point. Decide to move on from the rejection feeling helpless & hoping someone will come rescue me. It is definitely my go to in that moment of “Oh no, I need to start over, how do I do that?” “How will I survive?” At some point, I take time to pause and put my faith in spirit & begin to define what I want moving forward, I realize I have the ability to rescue myself and I have tools to make my next move. I ask that what I need to empower my path be sent & that it be for the good of all. But if I don’t ever come round to empowerment, this leads me to more rejection, fear of failure & desperate feelings of fear to survive. I end up extending myself to others in a needy, overly dependent state of motivation. I attract people who over extend themselves and develop co-dependency. Not the most productive route & is usually painful until I understand the need to change course.

The second dream has illustrated the influences of the potential for deep healing from this past Full Moon (the unconscious). The web I have been unweaving the past couple years consciously, has shown itself as there is more to discover on an unconscious level. So in a meditative state, I started to venture back how early I remember rejection in my life. The last incident I remember was at a young age. My oldest sister told me was when I was born, my dad wanted a boy. They already had 3 girls & one boy & my dad wanted another boy, but it was not meant to be as here I was, born a girl. She said he came home from the hospital and said “It’s another girl”, with disappointment. Growing up I never felt the disappointment of that from them & my parents gave me a great life with pretty normal trivia here and there. But the truth is, when I entered this earth I was greeted with some level of rejection & disappointment of who I was. This was in my unconscious from a very young age & possibly I came into this life with this karmic burden of needing healing of rejection. Or perhaps I carry ancestral rejection, things I now have to dig deeper to see if they exist.

I wanted to share a few things about myself that I recognize now as unconscious influences of this rejection. At a young age, I always wished I was a boy. I liked being with my dad and brother more than having to do domestic stuff with my mom & sisters. I did play with Barbie dolls & had other dolls in which I enjoyed, but my best friends were the neighborhood boys and I much more preferred playing with them. As I grew older, I dressed like a boy and was considered a tomboy. I actually got pulled from the women’s restroom once at my brother’s football game by a police officer who told me, “Hey buddy, your bathroom is over there!” That’s how committed I was to my tomboy! This however all stopped when I reached my adolescents and started crushing on boys. I was very shy and struggled to make my crushes known in fear I would be rejected & the power of shy controlled me. Even when a boy I liked would express to me they felt the same way, I was too shy to look at them or engage with them. I do believe shyness can be a protective mechanism until there is balance in the moment & the knowledge of how to proceed. But on the other hand, to protect yourself & never try, doesn’t allow for growing and learning. We have to find balance in risk taking. At this young age, my shy behavior would give the message I was not reciprocating the interest & I would lose the boy by rejecting him & then I was hurt and rejected as well. This pattern repeated itself many times & I still use shyness as a protective mechanism in certain situations in my life. But I like to think I have grown to a more balanced use of it.

In conclusion of my dreams, the past couple years I have been working on being more authentic to my true self. Because of the dreams, I see that one of my blocks keeping me from attaining authenticity is rejection, both conscious & unconscious. And I now know that it is deeply rooted and I have more to discover as I heal this wound. I am grateful for this “Gifted Truth” and will continue to set intentions to “Inspire Blossoms” – aka, growth & healing. The New Moon is next week, so I know what will be included in my intention setting. I am so grateful for my dreams and the influences of this past Full Moon to help me uncover this lesson. Thank you to spirit and the universe for your guidance and inspirations!

With that said, lets draw a card to see what spirit has to say to us about rejection and what it is we need to know for our highest good! I drew from the Enchanted Map deck by Collette Baron-Reid the card “Intentions” in protection (upside down). After I drew the card, I had self-doubt it was the right card, so I drew another from my Wisdom of the Oracle deck, also by Collette. I drew “Thinker” in protection. The message from “Thinker” basically said to give my mind a rest and to flow with spirit & trust spirit has a the guidance & message if I’ll trust. Okay, so let go of the doubt of the 1st card and go with it. But to remember not to overthink or be motivated to act on doubt. Unless you are drawing an Oracle Card which will get you back on track, ha! Back to the “Intention” card regarding what we need to hear about rejection. The essential meaning of the card is “Deliberate, clear intentions have the power to change your world.” Intuitively I feel this card is saying to recognize the pain rejection has brought to your life. Identify your motives that have led you to rejection, how you have felt when you made the decisions that resulted in rejection. Rest, meditate and take the time to be clear on your motives before acting & moving forward with your goals & solutions. Trust the truth in your heart and be brave, but clear of your perspective before proceeding. Don’t act blindly or blast your way forward. Have a plan, identify what wounds or feelings come up in the thought of proceeding and recognize how they influence your actions forward. Is this conclusion what is really in your heart? Recognize there may be the need to do some healing work before action toward the final goal. Find a balanced emotional & intellectual starting point that is guided by the inspiration of spirit and the love in your heart and begin there. When we are learning and growing, it requires putting ourselves out there blindly to some degree and gives us the opportunity to change course and refine our strategy. Don’t walk off a cliff and suffer the unexpected consequences when you have the opportunity to discover the passion and truth in your heart that talks to you as you begin forward through the learning process. Guiding you to what is your truth. What this card is saying, is evaluate to what degree you are willing to stir the pot and affect others in the process. Remember every action has a reaction. Be as clear as you can on your motives and proceed with good intentions as you learn and grow. Most importantly, be authentic to yourself with the wish to be of service to others in a loving way. With this effort, the universe will guide and support you in return as you open yourself to the cues and messages of guidance while learning and attaining successfully. Remember that your answers may not always come from what you expect. Spirit will give you what you need & as long as it feels right in your heart, learn to trust it is the right path. Also remember, rejection doesn’t have to be devastating. It can just be a cue to change course when you are in touch with your highest good.

Solstice Day!

June 21, 2022June 22, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

Today is the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, the longest day of the year when the Sun is in the highest point in the sky. Did you know in Hawaii, at some point today, they literally have no shadow, just pure sunshine beaming down and around them! Today also signifies the beginning of summer, new beginnings & change. Go soak up some sun & nourish your soul!

For our friends on the Southern Hemisphere, it is the Winter Solstice. It is the shortest day of sunlight of the year. It is a great time to reflect on this past year and decide moving forward what you would like to change. This requires inward reflection & rest as you prepare for the new momentum for what your new dreams moving forward are. Remember to take time to get quiet & listen to hear spirit!

Either way, with the planetary/zodiac influences, it is a great time to add energy to the intentions you set during the last New Moon & put some energy into moving forward. We are supported with the courage necessary to follow those intentions rising inside ourselves and given the fire to accomplish them. Do realize the movement may not come instantly, but right actions move you closer to receiving. Given that, go into your heart and find authenticity with your true self and for the good of others. This is a time of attraction. Dream of what you want & know it is a great time to manifest moving to the end of the year. Be patient as not everything happens instantly! It is also a time of self-care, nurturance & preparing to move out into the world more. There is energy to support our intellect & ideas with less emotion.

In closing, let’s draw a card to see what spirit wants us to know about Solstice! I drew “Peaks of Joy!” The essential meaning is “Your life is filled with happiness, so share it with others!” This card is telling us this is a time to manifest things that make the world a better place. A time to share the joy you have accomplished with others to lift them up with you. Always be grateful for every gift as gratitude is the fuel of abundance.

Have a wonderful summer or winter, wherever you reside!

It’s the Full Moon!

June 14, 2022June 15, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

After experiencing an unusual occurrence, most of us have said “We’ll it is a full moon!” & equated it to the reason for our experience. Blame it on the moon so to speak! The full moon, our unconscious is about letting go of what no longer works, changing course, thinking differently, digging into our issues. So yes, the unexpected can happen! I like to look at the full moon as being connected to the coat tails of the intentions we set previously during the new moon. When setting intentions, we call upon the universe to set our goals into action and things start to happen in our life. We are given inspirations to help us accomplish our intentions or goals. With the full moon, it magnifies what is standing in the way of accomplishing those goals or intentions. Urging us to look at the shadow work necessary to reach our goals.

When we add the astrological and planetary influences of each lunar cycle, we can benefit greatly with the knowledge of what their influences represent, what energies they set in motion and how we are affected. At the full moon, the universe exemplifies our life experiences to keep moving toward accomplishing those intentions. When you combine your intention setting at the new moon with the releasing at full moon, it is a great way to stay focused on your life’s growth.

This Full Moon finds the Sun, our conscious awareness, in Gemini & the Full Moon, our unconscious, in Sagittarius. “These are complimentary astrological signs, even though they are polar opposites, both love philosophy, adventure & travel” as stated by Astrologer, Dr. Michael Lennox. Sagittarius is about the higher spiritual truths, celebration, abundance where Gemini is more about ideas, thoughts & communication (listening/talking). This Full Moon magnifies the energy toward releasing old thoughts in favor of spiritual truths & experiences, giving us the opportunity to raise our perception of the world. In remembering we are all connected and our outer world is a reflection of our inner world should help to understand this concept. Coming off the New Moon, you should have learned better communication starting with becoming a better listener which often times provides a broader perspective of how you see things. If you are quiet enough, you learn to hear from spirit to enhance that perspective.

The last thing I’ll say before we draw a card is, presently there are 3 personal planets in their ruling signs which aligns the mind, body & heart in a very powerful, clear and grounded way. There is great potential for well supported healing by going within or acknowledging what no longer works your life. Time to let go! This is a great time to create what you want more of, to release what is keeping you from your abundance in all areas of your life! Change your mind and look to see what great gifts you find!

Lets ask the universe what we all need to release to attain a full & true abundant life? The card I drew was “Education” in protection mode. The essential meaning for this card is “Life is filled with lessons, be teachable.” With it being in protection, there is a need to learn to feel comfortable with not knowing. Making sure you are educated before acting. Avoid stubbornness or acting out of humility when feeling vulnerable. Accept there is more to be learned, have patience. The people in our lives are gifts and the knowledge they have is something to be grateful for. It is wonderful to be admired for knowledge, but it is of equivalent stature to show grace toward others when they know more than you do. Be open to hear what others say and wait to act until you have sufficient information. The saying “fake it until you make it” doesn’t encourage you to act like you are an authority when indeed you are not. But rather to go with the flow while believing you are who you want to become. Trust spirit will guide you to whatever knowledge you need to succeed. Curiosity is a great tool to maneuver yourself from acting foolishly when you need more information, but feel compelled to act. It is okay to admit you don’t know & to recognize it is even better. Remember to pay attention to your motives that steer you away from good judgement. Find grace in your shortcomings and seek empowerment to find abundance! Let go of attachments that steer you away from believing unexpected changes are the path to abundance. Spirit is waiting with infinite knowledge just for you and it can come in many forms. Be open to receive!

Thank you spirit for guiding me!

Time to let go!

June 11, 2022June 11, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

As we lead up to the Full Moon on Tuesday, there is alot going on with expansion of the mind and heart. A time to reflect on what you need to let go of or finish up what you started. With Uranus in the mix, anything is possible, so expect the unexpected. There were similar planet gatherings the first week of March of 2020 – and we all remember that! So there is potential for big change, so take this opportunity recognize the things you are holding on to that no longer serve you, try to take the higher road rather than get sucked into destructive actions, non-action or repeating what no longer is authentic to you.

Lets ask the cards what it is we all need to hear to navigate toward Tuesday’s Full Moon. The card I drew was “No Place Like Home” from the Wisdom of the Oracle Deck. The essential meaning of this card is about authenticity, coming home to yourself, being in a place that fits, being comfortable in your own skin. My intuitive self says this is what we have been talking about in the past blogs. It is about being who you really are in your heart and surrounding yourself with a life reflective of your true self in a way that benefits others. When the mind is connected to the heart, you operate in harmony with the opportunities that surround you. You have the wisdom to sort through what is right for your life moving forward, enabling you to let go of what no longer fits. Right now is a time connect more authentically with your heart and mind. That can bring endings and letting go of what you have held close to you, but have known it no longer fits your life moving forward. Or maybe you have already let go and are in the middle of hurt right now & it is time to look in the mirror and be honest about what drove you to make the change, that desire that wasn’t satisfied in the past and let it unfold to express itself with confidence and trust that good things are ahead. Remember abundance flouishes with you water the garden of truth!

New Moon & Setting Intentions

May 29, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

I like to follow a few Astrologers to understand the energy influences happening on a daily basis that affect my life. It helps me understand what I am feeling & what is going on in the world. The various phases of the Moon are particularly influential on us all & I am excited to be sharing with you the New Moon & Full Moon phases each month. I hope it will help you move through life more empowered.

This Monday, May 30 at 4:30am PDT is the darkest phase of the New Moon in Gemini. The Moon began its cross over into Gemini this Sunday morning putting it in the same sign as the Sun. When the Moon is at its darkest point, it’s a great time to set intentions of what you hope to accomplish in accordance to the New Moon influences. With each phase, we experience different energies from the Universe that affect how we feel, think & act. Becoming aware, allows us to benefit more fully to improve our lives. Rather than being influenced and not know why things are happening around you. Together we can work to navigate toward a better you. It is also good to consider a personal reading if you want to dig a little deeper in a more personal sense. Or use your own Oracle Cards or supportive tools to explore what can help you navigate this information.

Without going in to all the zodiac & planetary signs involved in this New Moon, in a nutshell, the Moon (your unconscious, emotions) & Sun (your conscious, ego/personality) in Gemini (thoughts, ideas & expressions) provides influences of it being a great time to connect with others, create community & express & gather ideas. At the time of each New Moon, it is when we set intentions to create personal goals for growth and accomplishment. This new moon supports energies to start taking action on all those ideas we have been dreaming about or to act on the learned lessons we have been working so hard to overcome. It is a time to share your dreams with the world, blog, journal & try new things. However, if you are the type of person who overthinks, are indecisive, get scattered or fall into chaos, it is most important to set your intentions or goals to include clarity, decisiveness & ask to be guided for support in these areas. According to Astrologer Dr. Michael Lennox, this energy to communicate & create through action will support us through the end of the year. It will not happen quickly, so you need to understand patience. He says to also remember, communication is 50 % talking and 50% listening, which do you need to improve?

In setting intentions, we are writing down (I use my journal so I can reflect back), what it is we want & stating it as if we are it now, our end result. We are putting requests to the universe to be guided by spirit toward accomplishing & growing. A couple examples of my intentions for the New Moon/Gemini influence would be: “I am writing blog entries that bring truth to many people and enable them to live their truth in their daily lives.” “I am guided to stay focused and to listen intently to communicate effectively.” After we have set our intentions, our life gets set into motion toward these dreams and wishes. The Universe begins to provide you with tools & lessons to guide you toward what you want or to become. It is not about getting that shiny new car, but it is about empowering yourself to accomplish success, to grow into a person who lives truth & affects those around you in a positive way. When you grow toward goodness with truth in your heart, you accomplish abundance in your life. When you set a goal to become someone you presently are not, the universe will provide you with lessons in order to become who you want to be. So, the enormity of your intention is important. How deep you want to go into your unconscious will be a result of you intention setting. When the universe is set in motion and starts to send you your inspirations, it is important to pay attention to the internal motivation before you act. And to know in your heart what your truth is in getting to where you want to go. Because not every idea or situation that presents itself is going to be the pure one connected to your truth. Remember where you start is not usually where you finish. Meaning maybe you have fear blocking your ability to take action on your dreams. As you move forward with fear motivating you, it generally manifests the very things you fear so you have to face what it is you don’t want to overcome and gain confidence. It is up to you if you want to jump in and create a wave or take it at more comfortable steps. Either way you get to where you go, but one way can be less traumatic than the other depending on how blindly you jump in. See the opportunity for what it is, how it makes you feel before acting. Decide if you feel supported to venture. Walking through a fire without a fire suit usually doesn’t end well. But walking through a fire with a fire extinguisher to help guide you usually has a better result. In other words, take the time to recognize the issues attached to what you want and work to resolve them in order to attain that goal more successfully. If you feel lost and confused, it is time to set more intentions asking for help to understand. Pull on the resources that can help guide you to clarity. Know that spirit is always there to guide you if you just ask.

Let’s draw a card to ask what it is everyone needs to know to improve their communication in this Gemini New Moon: (Using “Oracle of the 7 Energies” by Collette Baron-Reid) I drew “Ears Wide Open.” The meaning of this card is to attain deep listening and letting go of the need to be heard. Let go of distractions – checking your phone, thinking of what you are going to say next when someone is talking, etc. Commit to deep listening, focus on the subtle cues, hear the full story. Let go of the ego’s need to control a situation and become the passive participant who absorbs the moment at hand. There is so much to be learned by listening intently when it is your turn to hear others. In order to grow and learn, you need to ingest what is going on in the moment, not bypassing the information searching for how you can up your game to be heard. Take advantage of the opportunities at hand to grow and learn what is going on beyond the surface, but to hear inspirations and subtleties you can only find when you are focused and silent – with your “Ears Wide Open!” Good luck!
