Full Moon in Aries

October 8, 2022October 9, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

October 9, 2022 at 1:54pm, PDT is the Full Moon in Aries. This Full Moon comes with great potential for healing in our relationships. We have the Sun (conscious awareness), Mercury (mind) & Venus (heart, giving & receiving love) all in Libra (the inventor of relationships- the we, balance, harmony, justice) opposing Chiron (the great healer). The Full Moon (unconscious awareness) is in Aries (I am) and is a time of letting go. How can we take this we vs me polarity and let it lead us toward healing?

This past year astrologically, has been about healing and releasing, opening our hearts to give & receive love more. A moment where we discover, when you do not feel love, it is a moment to release and let love in to heal. This is a time to replace judgement, hatred, right and wrongness to deepen your love toward healing to create solutions. Remember that relationships are not just about romance. It is first about the relationship with yourself, our immediate environment & the collective universe. You must first look in the mirror and see what you are reflecting. A good measure is looking at your world to see the results of your reflection, as inner = outer. But the most important relationship is with your spiritual connection, however you define it. When you put that relationship first, everything else thrives. Because you connect with a wisdom and truth to guide you. This is a time to move closer to letting love be your motivation in life and to be able to receive what you give. Putting forth love of all things so that what doesn’t presently line with love, will be moved to change or die. To heal, we must let things go that don’t serve the collective, so the new can be born. That comes when we reflect curiosity to what we don’t understand or perceive as familiar. Then open our hearts to connect with our truth, to do in a loving way, what is good for the collective, which in turn creates change on a massive level & within ourselves.

Let’s see what the cards say we need to let go of so that we can feel more balance, harmony & love in our relationship to ourself & the world. I drew a card from the Enchanted Map deck by Collette Baron-Reid. The card I drew was “Heal the Ouch” in protection mode. Meaning we need to pay extra attention to the essential meaning of this card which is: Forgiveness is the healer of the soul. The book says in so many words to make amends for any harm you’ve done, recognize how you’ve been selfish, greedy or inconsiderate. Let go of resentments to those who have done you wrong. Forgiving and loving yourself is important. Be humble and willing to admit to your weaknesses. Bring healing light to old wounds. I say – wow, that is a pretty perfect answer to the question. I hope you will take time to evaluate what it is you need to let go of within yourself so you may heal and live a more loving life. So in return, your world becomes a reflection of love that you are worthy of receiving. Sending much healing love to all.

Peace, Susan

The Thin Veil

October 4, 2022October 12, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

October is such a fun time for connecting with Spirit. It is the time of year when the veil between the earth and the spirit world is thinnest. Typically it is a time when your intuition is stronger than normal. If you are working to raise your vibration to connect with the spirits on the other side, your abilities are more empowered at this time. It is a good time to focus on learning meditation to open space in your conscious mind to let spirit in, setting intentions to connect with your higher self and to use tools to ask questions and find answers through your spiritual practice. If you have tools you use to connect with your intuition, you might consider utilizing it on a daily basis this month. I will be drawing Oracle Cards every morning this month & then of course if I have additional questions will use them for supportive insight. They always lead me to discover things about myself and assist in problem solving. If you are longing to connect with someone who has passed, this is also an excellent time to consider a reading with a Medium. Get a personal referral from a friend with someone they have personal reference to their work so you know they are the real deal.

Let’s draw a card to see what spirit has to tell us today about expanding our spiritual practice for empowerment. The card I drew from the Enchanted Map by Collette Baron-Reid is “Metamorphosis” in protection (upside down). Protection simply means we need to slow down and listen carefully to this message. The essential meaning of this card means: You are in the process of deep and beautiful change. The Protection book message says: There are times of chaos and darkness that occur, much like the growing pains of the caterpillar becoming the butterfly. There is a tendency to expect the worse when difficulty arises – when something is taken away or unwanted circumstances come to challenge you to let go of old ideas about how life is supposed to be. You are experiencing the temporary discomfort we all must go through before the beauty is revealed. I say: How interesting I drew this card, because I experienced this last night. Before I went to bed, I read a couple headline stories from a news source that were chillingly disturbing. Not a good decision on my part to do this before bed! It created stress in my mind and my thoughts were reeling, my emotions of fear and helplessness came to the surface. As it started to feel into emotional pain I suddenly had insight to recognize that I was in charge and I was not going to fall for this fearful narrative I had just read about. I instantly changed my emotions to confidence and started to say out loud & then write down what I believed was possible, what I was going to do to counter it. I was creating a plan of empowerment & believing it, my whole demeanor changed, my fear was gone and I believed good is possible. Small steps in the direction toward solutions. It was the difference between feeling overwhelmed and sinking into fear thinking, to beginning to create a plan of solutions. Even if I didn’t know the answers, I created the belief answers would come to me and it would be ok. I believed would be guided to do what I need to do to be safe and empowered. I then drew 3 Oracle cards to see what other insight I needed to know about, where I was headed and what the potential of my actions could create. It all brought me peace of mind. Empower yourself at your weakest moments. Create support you can turn to when you feel confused. Take time every day to reach out or pray to your spirit guides and ask for help to find your answers. They are there for you, all you have to do is ask, trust & have faith in truth. There is always light waiting to shine through darkness, you just have to look for it. Remember you are not only helping yourself, but you are helping others by the energy you create in finding & generating solutions. Energy is the source of consciousness & action. Make it honest & for the good of all! Be a part of the greater good, the empowered good!

Peace & love, Susan

Dreams and Healing

October 4, 2022October 2, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

This morning just as I woke, I had a strong impression from the ending of a dream. It was the only thing I remembered once awake. I was in my home town, driving away from my family home. When I noticed my dog, Sonny was running away from the house after me. My mom was standing on the porch. I was in my blue car I drove just after college. I felt like I had to stop so Sonny would stop chasing me. When I stopped to turn around, my car died. I tried to restart it, but it wouldn’t start. Sonny as you see in the picture above has hair missing. But in the dream it was fully grown, fluffy gold hair and he looked very healthy. When he came into rescue 2 yrs. ago, they shaved his coat because it was all matted. His coat has never fully grown back. We have been working recently on healing him from a bladder infection and getting his thyroid working again as it plummeted this past year. He has also been having difficulty getting up the stairs and slowing down. I have been working with a vet and homeopath & feeling a bit worried about him.

As I woke up, I felt my hands were swollen, my neck stiff and my upper back was out. But I felt first thing was to write down my dream before I forgot it. So I wrote the dream down asking to know what it meant & why I felt so horrible physically. I then listened to a private video talk with Medium Shawn Leonard. I am just getting ready to start a 1 yr. course with him today and this was the last free video. He had a couple of his students on the video, one a Reiki Healer & the other an empath. As I listened to their testimonies of his work and gained some insight from their experiences, that in return began to inspire intentions to set for myself. I started to feel motivated do some yoga as I listened to help myself feel better physically. Then I had this overwhelming feeling to lay flat on my back and visualize my skeleton in alignment. I visualized starting at my feet and going all the way up my body, on my back, one vertebrae at a time, visualizing everything aligned. I could sense the areas that were out of place and visually aligned them. Then I went to my heart, it was an empty space & black, there was nothing there. I saw these hands cover my heart and start to do compressions, but still nothing was there, it was black. I began to try to create light and the healing color of green on my heart while the compressions were going on. The understanding I got from this visual was, I need to let go of the fear and beliefs that hold me back from moving forward with my intuitive and healing practice. I also need to connect & love my body more. Right now my life is divided between what I have to do & what I want to do. I don’t have enough time to fulfill my wishes of how I spend my time and it makes me frustrated and overwhelmed at times. So my body is out of balance and feeling the physical strain of that division, emotions and thought patterns. I asked to be shown the way to unification and balance & to let go of the fear that holds me back. I finished feeling a lot better physically after I was done. I also felt clarity on what my dream was telling me, the message was that Sonny is going to heal. He is not electing to go “home” where my mother was standing. My mother is 94yrs. old with dementia and clearly not on a healing path. Sonny has chosen not to follow her, but to follow me toward healing. I feel in my heart he is going to get better, so I am letting go of the worry and believing he will be okay. My car not starting seems like it was my fear and worry that was standing in the way of his healing as well. Dogs are so connected to their owners and if we are worried, they feel it.

I hope you can see from the story above how you can create answers in your life by following your inspirations. I believe what I described above was lead by spirit. My mornings are generally filled with meditation, journaling, yoga, muscle strengthening before I start my day. Sometimes I draw an Oracle Card for inspiration & include that in my journaling as well. Or as today, if I have a dream, I always write that down first in my journal before starting the rest of my routine. This morning I followed my instinct which ended with me finding answers I needed to hear for healing & ended with me doing my normal morning routine. The seeds of spirit can lead you to your answers if you trust and believe.

Woo for you!

October 1, 2022October 1, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

I wasn’t feeling any particular inspiration of what to write about today, so thought I’d just draw some Oracle Cards and see what we need to know at this time. I drew 3 cards from my Enchanted Map deck by Collette Baron-Reid. The first card I drew that represents what has happened/past is “Rescue”. The card representing now is “Balancing Act” and the 3rd card representing what is ahead is “Intention.”

Looking at the past, the Rescue card reflects on the past, especially the past few years of the pandemic. Where a lot of people have felt isolated, in chaos, experienced uncontrollable losses, confusion and a need to know what the outcome is going to be. It has most likely been one of the most challenging times in many people’s lives. Our past experiences can create hardship, anxiety, depression, broken relationships and divide. When in a hard time in our life, some of us may have been hoping this would just miraculously end and life would go back to normal without taking any action to provoke change. Just asking it to end. That is Rescue – giving away your power, doing nothing to change the circumstances in your life. Falling victim and sinking deeper. Forgetting that you have the power to move forward in spite of your circumstances. A situation like this can happen to help us realize that we need to let go of the belief that something outside ourselves has our answers. That what others say to us dictates our life. We need to commit to make our own decisions and to run our own life. We have the power to change our lives and that happens by where we place our beliefs. Instead of chasing life, let life chase you. Instead of wishing to be rescued, rescue yourself. We are meant to be our own creators and when we create our own solutions, life chases us. Life forms around the path we create for ourselves. What do you want for your life? What do you believe for your life? Do you let outside circumstances dictate that. Or do you see what surrounds you in your life and decide what you want to change about it? Your path forward is to learn to connect with what you desire and to focus on attaining that. Take time to meditate to open space for your spirit guides to connect with you. Ask them questions to help you solve your problems. They are there for you, waiting to help. Another way to start driving your life is to write in a journal. Just write down what you are feeling, what you need help with, what you are experiencing each day. When you get focused on writing intuitive answers start to flow through you. They may come as you are writing, or later. But they will come if you open yourself to receive. This is a great time for spiritual connection to others & more importantly, yourself to bring balance to your life.

The now card – Balancing Act, we are working on finding the balance in our present life & letting go of the wounds of our history that interfere with our path forward. It is time to acknowledge the stories you are telling others and yourself. Right now as we work with the influences of the planets and astrological signs, we have Venus (Love) in Libra (balance, harmony, justice, fairness) with Jupiter (abundance) present. This is a perfect time to go within and ask to see what it is to know about finding balance & harmony in your life for healing so that you can move on to creating a new direction or improving the direction you are headed. When you feel truth inside yourself about what you are doing, how you are spending your time and how you are acting, you are on the right path. When you feel ill at ease, like something isn’t right, it is risky & you may fail or life is not working out, you need to go within and connect with your heart and find what feels right. Identify when you are being motivated by what you have experienced, been told or scared into believing. Change your thoughts and emotions to positive confidence. Trust your inspirations and act on them. Right now, the influence of Jupiter has added to the mix and that is about creating abundance. Given the positioning, it is important to focus on the grandness of your efforts as you can be inspired to be a bit over the top in your offerings of love, friendship or good will. Find the balance! What is motivating you moving forward? Make it balanced and truthful to the heart and for the good of all. Let your inspirations lead and life will follow. But be mindful of creating balance in your actions. Try neutral emotionally for a while. That means listening to your heart, trusting your instincts that feel clear and true and then acting.

We close on “Intention”. If you are having trouble finding balance or letting go of the victim, down on your luck stories you are telling yourself & others, be honest and ask yourself why you need to hang on to this. What is it giving you, that you don’t believe you can create for yourself in a more productive way. Are you unable to ask for what you want or need? Do you have trouble accepting help? We can feel very restricted because of the thought/emotional patterns hardship creates within ourselves. It is time to let go of the chaos and conflict you see in your outer world and go within to create peace and empowerment. You have the power to change your life by connecting to your inner desires. Attach those desires to love and take some action that results in the good for all involved or affected. Visualize what you want, think of how you will feel being in this place in your life of fulfilled desires. And don’t judge yourself for the desires you want. Make sure it is true to your heart, what you truly think is the best thing for your life moving forward, not conformed to what your present circumstances are showing you. Write it down and take an action, one small step to start. There will always be chaos in this world. But to separate yourself from life because of it is to disempower your life. If your present circumstances are not working, you are not a prisoner to it. Get creative and decide a new way for yourself. Be aware of the road blocks in your mind that may come up that prove you are not capable or not worthy. Start small and do what you can now & intend for the rest to follow as you start. Be willing to make adjustments as the need arises by changing your limitations to aspirations & actions toward your desires. If you intend true to your heart, there will be synchronicities, serendipities & unknown opportunities. Maybe even pleasant surprises! Stay present in the now, trust what you desire is possible and have faith it will happen! Make life chase you, to form your reality around your creativity & desires. Peel though the layers of wounds and create a new empowerment of fearless fulfillment and dreams come true. And don’t talk yourself out of it along the way!

Self-Healing

September 19, 2022September 19, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

Since I was in my mid-20’s I have been working on self-healing. It was the physical pain that caught my attention and the recognition I needed change to heal. I discovered Louise L. Hay very early in that journey. She focused on mental causes for pain & illness & how to change your thinking to heal as well as the importance of self-love. She published several books and did tireless work helping people to understand the mental patterns within themselves were the root cause of illness. She said through her own process, she learned she had to stop blaming people and circumstances outside herself for her own pain and misfortune. After all, your actions in life are motivated by how you think, feel and believe. Not only did she show people that repetitive negative thought patterns create pain and illness, but she also taught them use of positive affirmations to replace the negative patterns to heal.

As a young adult I started to have physical body pain and could never find a way to heal it. It was mostly neck, shoulders and back pain. When I discovered Louise L. Hay’s philosophy, I began looking at it in a different way. At times, my neck pain would become unbearable, before I would start to pay attention. At that point, it motivated me to listen to what I was telling myself & note when it would trigger the pain to understand coinciding affects I was manifesting. I was able to stop the pain by changing my thoughts to more positive beliefs and began to understand how I had created my pain. Depending on when you try to change course with your situation, you may have a web of thoughts, emotions & actions to change, but starting with recognizing your thoughts that trigger the symptoms begins the shift. You also have to commit to let go of the attachments that justify what you believe to be true to be able to make the shift. Sometimes that requires going inside yourself to process incidents, recognize where the thought originated & recognizing how this thought pattern serves your life presently. It takes commitment to change the way of thinking and believing to see results. When you constantly think negatively it triggers all kinds of things in the body physically, how you respond to situations and the actions you take or don’t take in your life that contribute to the problem. You may have done severe damage to yourself by a decision & acted on it in your past that creates your present reality. When you forgive yourself and change that within yourself, there can be healing.

I am sure you are not a stranger to the reality of stress on the body. Not only do you trigger body chemistry, but you trigger energy to continue to manifest this reality of pain/illness. You feed this reality for yourself and reconfirm it when it serves your beliefs. It is always good to recognize what it is you are getting out of your pain. How does it serve you in spite of the pain or illness. What would you prefer instead? Our body has a defense system to try to help us survive in flight or fight mode, but over time, our body falls to illness trying to sustain that lifestyle of stress. When I do energy balancing on people I can hear what their body tells me to help the person process what is stuck. It is a mutual dialogue between the person, their body & myself. People also receive communication from their body during the session as well and learn to do inner-self dialogue. Sometimes physical misalignments have to be physically corrected & you have to change to maintain the alignment.

Albert Einstein said: “We can not solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.” It is the same with energy as Shawn Leonard pointed out during a private seminar recently: “You can’t change the same level of energy with the same level of energy. Remember we are all spirit, just living a human experience.” To make true change, you have to let go and aspire to a higher consciousness of unconditional love of self and others. Let go of blame, anger, helplessness, etc. Take responsibility for your part in situations that play out in your life. On some level, there is some responsibility you can grasp if you really open yourself to find it. Even if it is a just lack of knowing. Love yourself & love others for the good of all, because energy attracts energy. By making improvements with your own health, it helps to shift the energy to empower others to do the same. Remember, we are all connected & the new influence of your changed energy then exists for us all to become empowered, it has an affect. This is just another example of how we affect our environment by our actions and energy. It is sort of a human super power at our fingertips for the good of all!

The photo on this post is a reference guide by Louise L Hay for thoughts associated with different bodily conditions/illness that illustrates the thoughts & affirmations associated with several medical conditions. It is one of my first self-help books that I still use today and I am sure you can tell it is very used & dated. Thankfully I just reordered a new edition. Below I have given you a couple examples from the book:

Problem: Headache – Probable Cause: Invalidating the self. Self-criticism. Fear. – New Thought Pattern: I love and approve of myself. I see myself and what I do with eyes of love. I am safe.

Problem: Indigestion – Probable Cause: Gut level fear, dread, anxiety. Griping or grunting. – New Thought Pattern: I digest and assimilate all new experiences peacefully and joyously.

There are many healing resources available in this world to help with self-healing that are more organic and capable of producing real change. I am not one to turn to medication unless it is a situation of necessity, as I feel they are a mask and not the solution. I don’t condone medication and realize it is necessary in certain cases. But ultimately, I am after the root cause, not the passivity of a convenient relief, as ultimately you are pushing the problem deeper into the body moving toward a chronic, irreparable dis-ease. Sometimes medication can provide a temporary relief until you can heal yourself. But feeling the pain helps to undo the puzzle to figure out how you can balance the trigger/effect. These are my beliefs of course that I have used to navigate my life & health. I too am a student.

Let’s see what the cards say! I am using the “Oracle of the 7 Energies” deck by Collette Baron-Reid. The card I drew is: “Wishing Upon a Star.” The essential meaning of this 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.” The book goes on to say, “Perhaps the point all along is not how something can happen, but the power of wishing and intending.” I say, this is all so important that no matter what gets you down in life, know there is a solution. If you intend for a solution, you will be so blown away by the magic from the universe when you open yourself with optimism to see the answers. We often let ourselves believe in disappointment & failure over the true belief in the power of optimism & success. You lose the race when you give up. Ask for help at this moment & believe. We have many thoughts and emotions that keep us from believing we can attain the end result of solutions. Recognize each and every one of those walls, tricks and patterns within yourself that try to prevent you from getting to your success & replace them with “I can, I will, I am.” Healing is like driving to a party with only the address & no directions in a unfamiliar place. You have to trust your instinct, stop to talk to people along the way to get advice and to look for land markers to know where to turn until you reach your destination. Having an end goal in sight, asking for help & trusting spirit to help when you are well intended and from a space of love, is true magic and should be a way of life to find your true path in life. Trust & give it a try with a loving heart!

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

Liars – Ugh!

August 31, 2022September 6, 2022 susangtibLeave a comment

For some reason I feel motivated to write about liars today. It is definitely one of my pet peeves. I don’t think there is a human being who has not lied, but I am expressing concern about the individuals that lie as their way of life & who manipulate people regularly. There are many reasons I feel people lie, being: doing it to escape responsibility, control others lives, escape fear, for fun & many more reasons. I see there is also a complacency these days with the acceptance of lying because it happens so frequently publicly we have become accustomed to it. That to me is a dangerous result to all our lives. And I think now days, the control that is created by lies on our daily lives can make us powerless because of the lack of justice. There are also powerful public figures who have powerful sources behind them to convince us falsehoods are true, which creates chaos and confusion – a symptom of being lied to.

My feeling is that ultimately people lie to manipulate a situation. They lack the integrity & the courage necessary to be honest. Maybe when they were growing up it was the way they learned to force their free will over authority. Or maybe they avoided backlash because their security was threatened if they were honest. Maybe they have deep seated anger and this is their way of getting back. Sometimes it is too uncomfortable to face the humility associated with the truth, so people lie to remain comfortable. Others use it out of spite to overpower and control because they are smarter or have more money. They want the power that control brings over others. Something is wrong when people rely on lying as a way of life. And we need not accept it.

If we accept lying, we allow it to exist. Even though it may not appear to directly affect you, it really does, because to allow it is to empower it. The world is energy and our actions, thoughts & emotions empower the collective energy we all live in. Let me give you a simple example of how ones projection of energy can have an affect on an outcome. Last night I watched a baseball game & I saw a foul ball land into a large & nearly empty seating section. There were 2 people sitting near the top and 2 people sitting about 15-20 rows below them & slightly to the left. The rest of the section was empty. A foul ball landed in this section about 2 seats to the right of the couple at the top of the section. I thought, well that will be an easy ball for those two to capture, what luck! But the ball kareemed off the chair and changed directions about 45 degrees and went straight down to the 2 people sitting in the lower level of the section. They didn’t even have to leave their seats to get the ball! That is such a clear example of how your energy output (intentions, thoughts, emotions & action) affects your abundance and what comes to you in life because of your energy, wants & intentions. If you ignore lies, wrong-doings in this world, you are allowing that energy to become empowered and it will ultimately affect you. We all have to work together to make sure we pay attention & hold others accountable when the time is right. We have to show courage to face what we know is not true and try to shift it toward truth. Otherwise, eventually we become victims. It starts with the intentions we set when we are faced with adversity that doesn’t serve mankind. Sometime we feel overwhelmed and powerless, so intentions are a great way to empower yourself and the collective to formulate a solution. If we all work together to empower our energy toward truth for the good of all, we can have a shifting impact on wrong doings & lies. We can disempower it! Maybe we can all add that to our daily meditation, prayer or when you have free time to think, just plug some energy toward the empowerment of truth in our world. Remember to create the intention, visualize it, create the emotion of the victory & take action or create physical action.

How do you know if someone is lying, you usually don’t feel a 100% confident about what has been said. You feel confused, fearful, inner turmoil, doubt, things of that nature are how your inner truth is saying it is not true. Truth feels clear, full of trust, like you are good to move forward. Trust your gut! We have a built in denial system that protects us on some level from things we cannot handle. If you think you heard something, but didn’t comprehend, often times that is denial. You have to decide what you can handle to move forward & most likely need some healing or maybe just to ask to hear it again.

Lets see what the cards say! Using the Enchanted Map, I am asking what we need to know about having courage to live in truth? I drew “Strength” in protection mode. This card is right in line with us astrologically because it tells us to pay attention to our health. The essential meaning is: Your true strength comes not from self-reliance alone, but from a sincere faith in a higher power. In protection this card’s message says your body, mind and spirit need strengthening at this time. Exercise, rest & proper nutrition are necessary to keep you in balance. Tend to the burdens in your life before they become too heavy. Let go of whatever robs you of your life force & trust that something better will take it’s place. I say – in addition to that, something better can take the place of your burdens if you set intentions for it, take care of yourself and not let other’s take away your truth in life. Self-evlauate what you need to set you on the path to fulfill your desires and empowerment. Align yourself with your truth tribe. People who empower you to be you. It helps to motivate the energy to move you forward. Let go of the doubt, worry, guilt, etc. that you attach to your best ideas or solutions after you create them. To let go, you have to recognize them and understand them before creating a better way of thinking and believing. Let me know if I can help!

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.
