New Moon and Money

Another New Moon is coming up, friends! I've spoken before of Astrologer Jan Spillar (www.janspillar.com)and her great book, "NEW MOON ASTROLOGY". I find it to be a wonderfully effective way to create positive affirmations in conjunction with Lunar cycles, (a little moon magic, if you will).

This New Moon is in Taurus which involves focus around money and issues of comfort.
Things you may have wanted to happen in your life for a long time can begin easily manifesting through using the boost of the powerful and steadfast Taurus New Moon.

Write your wishes on paper, ten wishes maximum. Be very clear and exact. Write your wishes, read them aloud and then simply put them away.

In MAY, your most potent times for wishing are: Thursday, May 13: 9:05 pm - 12 midnight, Friday, May 14: 12:00 am - 8:27 am & 9:18 am - 12 midnight, and Saturday, May 15: all day and night.

These times are in Eastern Daylight Savings Time and need to be converted to your local time zone. Keep in mind that if you are not observing Daylight Savings Time, subtract one hour, and then convert to your time zone. The Moon Box on the Homepage of this site will tell you how many hours difference your location is from the Eastern Time Zone in the US.
This New Moon stimulates the ability to more successfully navigate your life by boosting your steadfast determination. It empowers you to become more aware of the power of attaining your aims through thoroughness and step-by-step processes. It stimulates in you the gift of being able to appreciate the value and beauty of what you already have. The energy of Taurus also creates an opening for enjoying the comforts of life.
I can't tell you how effective this technique is!

I hope you will check back soon. I am working on an e-course on Tarot that I think you will enjoy.

May 4, 2010
Hello friends,

One of the best ways to learn Tarot is to choose one card a day at random at the beginning of your day. Over your morning coffee, Jot down your first impressions of the card, then go about your day. When you come home in the evening, mindfully review your day and see how the messages of the cards reflects your experiences. This simple exercise may be used with runes, I Ching, Medicine Cards or any other divination tool.

Having just achieved my Reiki Master Certification, I decided to draw a card for the next 21 days after completing my Master clearing and meditation each morning. It is turning out to be an excellent example of how the above exercise can work in your life, so I thought I would share it with you.

Yesterday, after my meditations, I chose from The Hawaiian Oracle deck. The Card was “Kala/Surgeon Fish”. The Challenge is “Wrath”, Way Through is “Repentance” and the Gift is “Forgiveness”. The message in part: “Only you control your feelings. Don’t let anger stop you from forgiving and forgetting. Choose Joy.”
I admit I was puzzled. I wasn’t angry at anyone, nor, in looking at the day ahead, could I possibly imagine being angry or being in a position to ask for or bestow forgiveness. But, knowing the cards as I do, I decided to simply allow whatever needed to unfold to do just that without attachment and to be open to learning whatever needed to come my way.

Later that evening I made my way to Cox Cable Studios to be a guest on “Psychic/Holistic Spotlight”. There I met the other guest, a lovely woman, Mary Grace, author of “The Wounded Chalice”. Mary Grace is an advocate who encourages women to take back their power. She champions women’s precious role as mother, She tells her own story of love and loss, pain and sorrow and her journey into awareness and at present she channels messages from Mother Mary. Is it surprising that these messages deal with the concept of “Forgiveness”. It suddenly became clear to me that I was hearing repeated the information which had been imparted by “Kala” that morning. Her was an inspiring woman who, despite life’s challenges, chose JOY and made it her life work to bring that message to many women who need to hear it. And that is the way it works; sometimes the messages are not FOR you but for you to pay attention to as they unfold around you. Meeting Mary Grace and hearing her story was a privilege.

This morning’s card from the Hawaiian Oracle Deck is “Honu Kahiki”/ Green Turtle:
The Challenge: Perserverance
The way Through: Parenthood
The Gift: The Desired Land
The Message:”You are parenting a new project or soul. You are at home in different spheres, from the sea of emotion to the land of stability.” The link between the head and the heart still needs to be connected and then you will come home to your blessed land.
In meditating on this message, I can directly apply it to the work I am doing on my new book, The Holistic Tarot”. But I will also keep my heart open to whatever delights and lessons the day will bring and joyfully see what happens.
Happy Spring!
Cris
