Hello Fellow Travelers,
Happy and Joyous Monday to all of you. After a week of recharging your batteries how do you feel?
Making these commitments to ourselves to turn within, take care of our energy, re-charge and otherwise do deep self care, requires great courage. Yes, the Universe will rise up to support us, AND what also usually happens is that whatsoever does not support us will rise up too!
Making a commitment to oneself to change, allow, grow, heal or self care will bring up in us those ideas, beliefs, issues that hold us back from doing this very thing we commit to.
This is not the Universe, or the Divine's idea of a bad joke, although it may feel like it at times! It is a way to guide us towards what is still needing to heal, or how to bolster our selves. It is a learning and teaching that can greatly assist us.
This phenomenon is reminiscent of the tale of the two wolves. It goes like this~

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life.

“A fight is going on inside me,” he told the young boy, “a terrible fight between two wolves.  One is evil, full of anger, sorrow, regret, greed, self-pity and false pride.  The other is good, full of joy, peace, love, humility, kindness and faith.”
“This same fight is going on inside of you, grandson…and inside of every other person on this earth.”
The grandson ponders this for a moment and then asks, “Grandfather, which wolf will win?”
The old man smiled and simply said,

“The one you feed.”

On this journey of life, we will be met with inner and outer love and support and we will also be met with inner and outer fear and darkness.  Both love and fear will challenge us. Both love and fear will be present. It is good to honor both, examine both, and respect both. 
Yet, when it comes down to it, the answer to how do we deal with the negativity need not be to fight back per se, although at times it is necessary, the answer can be to acknowledge that we, as well as everyone else have our inner challenges and when they come up as negativity against us, either from within us or from others, we can choose not to feed that wolf, and to generously, graciously and magnanimously feed the wolf that is full of love, joy, peace, faith and trust. Compassion for self and others is a key ingredient.
How will you feed that wolf this week?
Shine your light, feed your light, nourish your light in whatever way soothes your soul and inspires your heart. Have deep compassion for yourself wherever you are. Take good care of that white wolf within and she/he will care for you when the dark wolf enters. Feed yourself well.
When you do so, you will be given guidance and answers from within as to how to deal with the dark wolf when it appears. This is the answer to long lasting change and transformation!
Many blessings
Mary

Full Moon in Sagittarius! The Big Ask

-

  Hello Fellow Travelers, Time to gather round the fires of late spring and chat up what your plans are for this coming summer. And beyond. The full moon in Sagittarius occurs this coming Saturday brings so very much positivity and optimism to everything and everyone. This week leading up to the full moon may be either incredibly inspirational or incredibly annoying. That depends on how well you meet your inner optimist. You would fare well by listening to that optimist and taking action. If you take action on one small goal this week it will benefit you tenfold. If you hesitate or talk yourself out of it, or in anyway buy into your inner critic, that too will multiply tenfold. Whatever you focus on grows. You have heard that adage, well it is especially true this week. Use it to your advantage. Check your inner critic. Take a risk, take a leap. The smallest risk, as long as it has to do with your own inner faith and trust in Self, will bring an abundance of reward. Be very clear t...

Boundaries, Bamboo and Birth

Hello Fellow Travelers,  We have entered into a cycle of retrograde and this is always a good time to recharge and re-group. Giving ourselves time to replenish creates better flow, healing, clarity and awareness. We all know this, yet sometimes we forget.  The energy leading up to the Mercury Retrograde in the cosmos asks us to better understand the archetype of Mercury. Who is this god and why does he get so much air time lately? How can we use this energy to benefit our lives? In retrograde, Mercury is standing still for a short spell, it is our cue to think before we speak, step back, or stand firm like bamboo. Think twice and then three times before acting or choosing. Be discerning. Mercury loves to pick things apart and put them back together again. Rumination? Perhaps, but necessary rumination. Rumination that leads you to a deeper understanding of what is important to you now. What was important last year may not be important to you now, or ever again.  W...

The Moon Called to Me. How I came to be an Astrologer

-

  It was the Moon. Her light. Her radiant light, shining across time and space. That is how Astrology found me. I sang the song to my little girl. I thought of all those far and near who I hold dear. Life may take me away, ahead, moving on, yet the moon always was there. Reminding me of our eternal connections.  "I see the Moon and the Moon sees me.  The Moon sees somebody I'd like to see.  God bless the moon and God bless me,  and God bless the somebody I'd like to see."  Astrology is a healing art. Astrology is a map of our soul. Astrology is our connection with our Ancestors. Astrology is energy alive and vibrating as planetary bodies, movement, cycles and rhythms held in place by the mysterious and curious. What source of energy held this all together and directed its vast beauty?  Why did the Moon call to me? How did I know to sit beneath its glow and pray, chant, call out my deepest desires, hopes, wishes, dreams?  As I started to pay attent...
