It’s back to work and school. A New Year always starts out with those NY Resolutions but I don’t make those anymore. Its better to incrementally change the past patterns rather than set yourself up to fail. Here’s some daily mystical tools I use which I recommend you try.
The Moon’s in Scorpio so it’s a good day to dive deep. Expect a heavy intense, focussed mood. Scorpio moons tend to bring out repressed unconscious emotions. Power struggles surface, be mindful of these energies and don’t take the bait from snippy comments or being thrown shade or road rage. People get easily obsessed and won’t let things go under this moons influence.
Thins are relatively smooth easy and supported aspect wise.
Moon trines Neptune in the wee hours
so do write down your dreams.
Scorpio Moon sextiles the Sun and Pluto which strikes me as Deathly Hallows kind of energy.
easy access to positive insights into yours and others psychological motivations for sure. All is not what it appears to be on the surface.
Moon in inconveniently placed to Uranus {150 degree aspect}
those who want to control will make you feel choked and chained. You will be chomping at the bit. disgruntledom.
Moon Trines Chiron on Pisces at days end in PST
MEDITATING is the way to start the New Year and end this day.
Make it a regular part of your day.
Start with 10 minutes a day, sit straight in a chair or against a wall on a cushion.

2. I always smudge before meditating. you can use incense or spray smudge.
3. Applying lavender oil to your third eye chakra helps to activate and open it up. Lavender is also very calming. Clary Sage essential oil is also good to clear the mind and uplift the spirits.
4. Use grounding and calming crystals like Hematite, rose quartz, clear crystals, or labradorite. I like Celestite for meditations too. You can hold a piece in your hand or place on your chakras or in your bra if you have a flat small stone.
5. Put on some theta beats meditation soft soothing sounds to listen to. You can find these on YOUTUBE.. Set a soft alarm to wake you after 10 minutes.
6. You can place 4 crystals at each of the directions to create a boundary of sacred space if you wish.
7. Invite your guardian angels and divine ancestors who love you into you circle.
8. Close your eyes. Focus your mind on listening and following your breath. Just keep focussing on the breath slowly entering your nose, flowing down into your lungs and flowing out of your mouth slowly and naturally. You can place one hand on your diaphragm to follow it filling up like a balloon on the in breath and emptying out on the out breth. Nothing should be forced. This is simply breathing and allowing the ego mind to stop talking. You may be fidget, that is the ego protesting, If you get distracted, simply bring your mind back to emptiness. You can repeat the word emptiness over and over in your head.
9. Empty your mind of thoughts, worries and distractions. There is nothing to do for 10 minutes except relax, let go, use this as a mini-vacation. Watch yourself breathe and open your mental physical emotional and spiritual bodies. This allows you to detach from the ego identity and allow your natural connection with your Higher Self to come through.
10. Simply allow whatever feelings, images, sensations or none to be present. Experiencing emptiness, peace and stillness is the purpose of meditation. You may go very deep and some people fall asleep.
After the 10 minutes which may feel very long or short. Open your eyes and stretch your body. Take an inventory of your experience. Give thanks for the experience. Vow to revisit this experience the next day and to go deeper and experience more joy. Daily practice increases the breadth of the experience. You need to do this for at least 30 days to get some significant results.
Let me know how you find this and progress.

I’ve been at the beautiful GRAIL SPRINGS SPA in Bancroft,Ontario, the only Healing Hotel in Canada one of only a handful in the world, teaching workshops all weekend. I was so busy doing readings that I didn’t have a moment to stop and write .
Ah such is GEMINI times, or is that are Gemini times?
It’s MEMORIAL DAY in the U.S. May 26. A sad one,I send blessings to those killed and injured by Elliot Rodger in California over the weekend, to his parents and family. I was looking for his birth chart and fellow astrologer Matthew Currie has written an excellent article about it.
All NEW MOON’s are the beginning of new monthly cycles.-see video below women.
This month’s NEW MOON is May 28 at 11:40 am PDT/ 2:40 pm EDT/ 6:40 pm GMT at 7 + degrees Gemini.
GEMINI, Mutable Air, 3rd sign ,the first human sign, the TWINS, which have been portrayed from the Bible as Cain and Abel through most mythologies and cultures as the primal pair.
Gemini, ruled by planet MERCURY, is consciousness itself, the brain which has two halves. Gemini represents the nature of DUALITY itself in the Universe. Up, down, black , white, positive, negative, as above, so below, masculine/feminine, day/night. etc.
Mercury is at that 29th “critical degree” of GEMINI. Indicating that there is an inherent need to GET THE COMMUNICATION RIGHT now.
EARLY MERCURY RETROGRADE ALERT!
We are now in the MERCURY RETROGRADE SHADOW- MERCURY Will go RETROGRADE on JUNE 7-JULY 1.
With about 70,000 thoughts coursing through the average brain every day, we process huge amount of information. In this super fast INFORMATION age we are bombarded with more information than ever before in human history.
According to Buddhist thought,the key to enlightenment which we can be accessed through meditation, yoga, martial arts, or by being totally absorbed in a positive activity where the ego chatter stops, is the main goal.
“STOPPING THE WORLD” was what Don Juan, Carlos Castenada’s Mexican nagual {shamanic} teacher called it.
VENUS is the esoteric ruler of GEMINI and she is also at a critical degree -the 29th of ARIES.
The 29th degree of ANY SIGN means we need to integrate the final lesson, mode or experience before we can move on.
VENUS is the planet of the FEMININE, Goddess of love, beauty, harmony, the arts, and she is also symbolically telling us to ACT from a place of LOVE. Aries is the war-god, MARS’s home territory. Venus in ARIES is defending love, defending the Feminine, protecting the Feminine as was the traditional CHIVALRY way, which was in balance with the old natural order system.
VENUS in ARIES is negatively also ANGER At women- which was partly the cause of the timing of the unfortunate tragedy by that mentally disturbed autistic young man in California.
SO the CRITICAL RED ALERT MESSAGE at this NEW MOON in GEMINI is that we must INTEGRATE the opposites.
The modern Western world, reveres the most important organ and the main center of the body as the Brain.
In the Ancient World, and in indigenous societies today, as in Tibetan Buddhism, the HEART is the most important organ of knowledge.
Gemini’s main message is the UNION of the two organs- the heart and the mind.
In the TAROT the sign of GEMINI is associated with
TRUMP #6 THE LOVERS
Recent research done by the HEART MATH Institute in California and shows that the heart is the very first organ that a human foetus creates before the brain. Therefore the heart is primary. The heart itself has its’ own brain. The heart’s electromagnetic field is 5,000 times stronger than that of the brain and can be measured several feet outside of the body. here I recently attended and introductory workshop from the Heart Math Institute and found its research fascinating. The heart has 40,000 neurons relaying information to the brain and these neurons enable the heart to remember, learn and make decision independently of the brain. You know the saying my heart wasn’t into it, well that is true. Physical and emotional pain are interpreted by the same part of the brain. WE also have empathic “mirror neurons” in the brain which feels the pain of others in our own bodies. see links below to discover more about heart math
We need to bring our HEARTS-the feminine & OUR MINDS the MASCULINE together.
We cannot survive in the world with our brians/ego’s controlling everything, it is disastrous.
In Buddhist teachings prayers are for blessings in BODY SPEECH and MIND.
the BODY being the Brain, the organ which like a computer, organizes and runs the body. Speech being the throat and MIND or consciousness is the HEART. This is totally reversed from the way we see our conscious orientation in the West.
The SOUTH NODE of the Moon which symbolizes the past, the Unconscious memories is conjunct to VENUS. We need to reconnect to our ancient ancestral roots wherein we firstly listened to our hearts. We need to be warriors of the Heart in this case not at war from our minds.
CHECK out where the new heart/mind marriage occurs in your chart. Which house contains 7 degrees of GEMINI? What aspects, if any does the Sun and MOON make. These are your indicators of a new beginning in Love, connection, in communicating both your feelings and your thoughts in harmony and balance..
We are moving out of the Grand Cardinal Cross as Mars moves out of square to Jupiter, Mars is still opposed to Uranus and Square to Pluto though. The beat goes on.
NEPTUNE, planet of spiritual osmosis, dreaming, communion, creativity, is exactly in sextile to the SUN and MOON at 7 degrees Pisces.
Pisces is the last sign, water, oceanic consciousness and Bliss. Let Bliss be your guiding light.True Bliss is engendered by spiritual Oneness, feeling the Onessess beyond duality.
