Clearing Stagnant Energies From Your Home

March 22, 2010 By francesca Leave a Comment

With spring upon us now is the time to cleanse all things.  One of the first things you need to do to clear stagnant energies from your home is to remove all the unwanted material objects that clutter your space.  Assess your home, room by room.  Do you need to keep all those magazines, books, and old saucepans?

Sometimes we keep more material possessions than we need because our direction in life is scattered and unfocused.  By fine-tuning what you wish to do with your life you will be in a better position to know which objects you don’t need anymore.  By clearing your living space, you are allowing new energy to come into your home.
Once the junk is out of your life, you will also find that it is easier to keep the house tidy and functional throughout your new year.  Decide what activities you most like doing and where in your house you like doing them.  Create the space for your activity to happen or make a list of things, such as a table or shelf space, that you need and buy or make these components gradually through the year.
Some old energies can be stubborn and just will not be released by your improving the circulation of energy through your house by removing all unnecessary objects.  Many believe that the corners of a room are particularly prone to harbouring stagnent energies.  Some ways of clearing old energy from a room include clapping your hands, burning incense sticks in each corner, or performing a smugde.
Another method is to stand in the room you wish to clear and imagine the energy in the room as a luminous haze.  Imagine that your body’s connected with the earth.  This is very important if you contemplate any work with energies around the home, your family or yourself.  Move your arms up in a sweeping fashion, imagining that a golden energy from the earth is travelling up your spine and through your arms.  Visualize the golden energy looping around the stagnant energy.  Draw the energy down to the flood and imagine that the stagnant energy is being drawn from you into the ground.  Put a bright Spring flowers or brightly coloured piece of fabric in the room to celebrate the renewal of its energy.

Aries – Stars & Stones and Flowers – The Astrological Connection Series

March 22, 2010 By francesca Leave a Comment

If you are an Aries, you have a natural alignment to red stones, such as: red jasper, ruby, bloodstone, coral, and garnet.  Diamonds, gold, and steel are some of the secondary stones and metals which also support your vigor, vitality, and dynamic personality.  But for those times when your Mars energy becomes overpowering, you may find that rose quartz helps to soften the hard edges of competitiveness and ambition.

Azurite will assist you in lifting your perspective from the temporal self to the unconditionally loving, universal Self.  And the apache tear (obsidian) will cool your restive energies and help you to relax, meditate or even sleep during those times when relaxation may elude you.  If there are times when you are feeling restricted by outside events or others, try the emerald, green beryl, green tourmaline or green fluorite to bring you balance as well as the ability to push through the barriers to your growth.

March Birth Flower – Daffodil

Symbolizing rebirth and new beginnings, the daffodil is virtually synonymous with spring. A gift of daffodils is said to ensure happiness.  But always remember to present daffodils in a bunch – the same legends that associate this cheerful flower with good fortune warn us that when given as a single bloom, a daffodil can foretell misfortune.
April Birth Flower – Daisy

Daisies are associated with innocence. The gerbera daisy has large colorful blooms, which has made it a favorite with flower lovers. There is a legend that a nymph wanting to escape unwanted attention, transformed herself into the daisy. Ever after this the April birth flower has the flower meaning of implicity and modesty.

Celebrate Spring …

March 20, 2010 By francesca Leave a Comment

Spring; The Season of Growth … New Beginnings

Spring starts with the vernal or Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere on March 20th, in the year 2010.  The planting of seeds in your garden or window box is echoed in the planting of new ideas and resolutions for your new sacred year.  Sometimes, to allow space for the new, the old must be cleansed or cleared away.

This is a fairly unstable time, particularly with the shaking up of the old energy and the coming in of the new.  Many people feel that about the time of Beltane/May Day, the height of the energies in Spring, major changes can occur.  Some of these changes may appear to be destructive, such as the ending of a treasured relationship.  Make sure you look at what other opportunities have opened to you.  The Spring equinox is the time of equal light and dark in the world, with the light increasing toward Summer.  Many of the changes that occur will be constructive, despite how despondent you may feel at the time.

Celebrating The Spring Equinox – March 20, 2010

The first day of Spring bears a great sense of energy and promise.  With the increase of the sun’s energy. the emphasis at the Spring equinox is on fertility.  Your creativity and the earth’s productivity both start to gather momentum.  This is the time to free yourself from Winter’s slumbers and to feel a sense of your own strength and beauty.  Traditional forms of celebrating the Spring or vernal equinox revolve around putting energy back into the earth with rituals involving the planting of flowers, trees and herbs.  A blessing that dedicates each planting to the earth may be said or felt as the plant or seed is inserted into the ground.

Approximately six weeks after the Spring equinox is another festival called Beltane (also known as May Day in the Northern Hemisphere).  This is the height of the Spring energy.  It is a highly creative, flagrantly sexual time which is expressed through the many fertility symbols that characterize this festival, such as bonfires, traditionally lit to ensure fertility to the household and farmyard, and dancing around the maypole.

New unions, friendships and business deals are created during this festival, and as we commit to a new path, disruptions in the old energies around us may result.  This is part of the cleansing energy of Spring.

Introduction to Tarot – The hanged One

The Hanged One – Tarot Card #12

Major Arcana: “Sacrifice, Let Go and then Grow”

Astrological Sign: Pisces’ selfless and intuitive gifts describe nicely what the hanged one is currently experiencing on their journey. Like any Piscean by bringing sensitivity and sympathy to a problem it can also scatter energy in a situation with idealistic, vague Reponses lending itself to escaping responsibility by lack of action.

When the Hanged One appears in our reading its upright or reversed position depending on the Quarents own nature can sit well and be looked at with light or darkness either way.

Upright we are in a period of short and present stagnation or stillness contemplating what has brought us to the great quandary we seem to be facing. Seeing the situation as it truly is and then accepting the element of sacrifice that needs to be made or realized in order to move onto freedom and new beginnings.

By accepting sometimes painful endings or at the very least significant change coming we open ourselves to the spiritual growth necessary to allow tolerance and acceptance of others ideas and actions in our world.

By being more accepting of others we also learn to forgive and accept ourselves. Our world is no longer all about us but instead we find our greatest joy in helping others.

When reversed the Hanged One shows us while standing on one foot he is still very much stuck in the past of the situation or problem. He vacillates between sticking with his old image and approach rather than what the issue has really already become. He remains resistant to spiritual lessons or ideas that will help him realize his full potential. The reality is “you can’t go back” and when reversed the Hanged One shows just slow progress to events and outcomes that are inevitable.

Archangel Raphael, The Healer…

March 15, 2010 By francesca Leave a Comment
Perceived as the mildest and kindest of the archangels is Raphael, whose name means “God has healed”.  Though he is the ruler of all of the angels of healing, he actually has brought assistance in a great many other areas.  He brought Noah a book of medicine after the flood; in the Testament of Solomon, he subdued demons that were interfering with the building of Solomon’s great temple.
The most significant story of Raphael recounts how he accompanied young Tobias from Nineveh to Medina to help him find his new wife, Sarah.  But Sarah was possessed by a demon that had killed each man she had ever married.  Raphael cast out this demon, healed Sarah, and brought Tobias and Sarah together in a happy marriage.  Later, Raphael showed Tobias how to heal his father’s blindness, using parts of a fish they had caught on their journey.
Let’s consider all the ways that Raphael can bring assistance.  He is the guardian angel of travel.  He helps people on their journeys to find love.  He helps you to find the right healing ointments.  He drives the demons out of love (in other words, he helps diminish obsession, jealousy, possessiveness, and control).  Raphael helps the blind to heal both physical and emotional vision problems – issues that cloud your viewpoint and which prevent a clear perspective.  He helps you on your journeys when you have to go long distances, not only geographically, but when you are facing any challenge and need a guide along your path.
Raphael might be a little harder to find than Michael and Gabriel, in terms of statuary and art, but take a look for him because he is great to have around.  Of course, you don’t need statues or pictures of angels to be able to beckon them.  But a visual stimulus does help to remind you of their love, their presence, and their support.  Raphael is often depicted with a fish and/or staff.  He is sometimes shown with a young man or a boy, representing Tobias (or Tobiah, depending upon which Biblical translation you read).  He is also frequently pictured near a river, because that’s where he helped Tobias cross the river and catch the healing fish.
Because he did not make his identity as an angel known until much later in their journey, Raphael is often shown without wings during his travels with Tobias.  In this way, he also guards and protects the charitable and those who care anonymously for the needy.  Whenever you meet a stranger, always look for the angel hiding there!

Introduction to Tarot – Justice

Justice – Tarot Card #11

Major Arcana: “Justice is Served”

Astrological Sign: Libra’s scales of justice clearly outline the energy and mood of this card. In all cases Justice will be served and usually with Libra’s diplomatic, idealistic and peaceable energy. Some caution though with this rigid a perspective of black and white Libra can tend to also be over critical and harsh in her approach if pushed out of her comfort zone.

When Justice comes upon our situation in a reading with her scales’ upright ready to prevail in all that is right and deserving we can be assured that true justice will prevail in this issue or problem. We just need to be sure that we understand and accept that as people we may have a less objective and slightly jaded view of what we believe is right and deserving. Or it may be the karmic result of past injustices that we have long forgotten and justice belongs to the other side.

None the less Justice shows us that all pros and cons will be studied with open eyes and no pre-conceived ideas and therefore her decisions will always be the right and just ones.

When Justice is reversed no matter what we will not see balance and equity in decisions made. What is decided will seem unfair because it is unfair and may be the result of discrimination, prejudice or legal complications.

Justice and the Law is not always the same thing. Depending on her stature this card brings to the reading clearly just or unjust results to life’s situations and your questions will prevail.

Archangel Michael – The Warrior

March 12, 2010 By francesca 1 Comment

Michael is perhaps the most powerful of all angels.  His name means, “Who is as God.”  A divine warrior, he conquered Satan and drove the fallen angels out of heaven.  You will most often see statuary and art depicting him with his sword drawn and his foot on top of Satan who is often seen as a dragon or a snake.  Michael is the patron angel of the military, the police, all who do battle, and those who find themselves in competition.

Whenever you need strength in your life, you can call Michael and his legions.  Even in situations where you are looking for inner strength to pursue a goal or overcome a temptation, Michael will be there for you.
It is amazing how available, how inspiring, and how reliable the angels are.  As long as you make a clear commitment to your purpose, they will not falter in their support.  Michael is also the archangel of autumn, harvest, and seeing things through to their natural conclusion.  He will help bring you perseverance and follow through.

Angels …

March 11, 2010 By francesca Leave a Comment
Perhaps the biggest reason we know about angels already is because they have always played a role in the lives of our spiritual teachers and prophets.  Many references in the Bible point to their activities as messengers between those above and those on earth.  Some references identify them as warriors, some as healers.
The overriding purposes of all angels, no matter which position they hold, are service and assistance – to lift up the good and diminish the harmful, to increase the light, and to dispel the darkness.  Seek to create a personal relationship with angels the same way you would have a personal relationship with Uncle Jim, Dad, or Grandma in spirit.
There is a great deal of different information about angels.  Some books say there are four archangels; many say there are seven, nine, or even twelve.  But most books agree that angels are an order of beings separate unto themselves.  They don’t belong to the physical kingdom.  They have a very high frequency and a very pure energy.  And the thing that defines them most is the service that they bring to our lives.  For angels, this is their predominant purpose – service to God and service to humanity.  All you need to do to work with the angels is to realize that you are free to ask for the help they bring.

Relationships with angels

You can have a relationship with one of the major angels, even though you may be asking yourself, “Why would Gabriel be talking to me, when there are a million other people who want to talk to Gabriel?”  Well, that is the nature of the angelic realm.  There are legions and legions of angels, and we can have a personal relationship with the archangels and all their legions.  The only thing you need to decide is the angel you wish to call and why you are calling him.  If you are clear about the type of help that you need, it is easy to know which angel should assist you.

The major archangels

Over the next four issues I will highlight the four major archangels.  Between them, they could probably cover just about anything you’d need from the angelic realm.

Pisces Stars & Stones and Flowers – The Astrological Connection Series

March 11, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

Pisces – February 19 – March 20
Those with the sun sign of Pisces will be strongly linked to the vibrational qualities of the blue stone grouping, from the light blue of aquamarine and blue topaz to the deeper blues of lapis lazuli and sodalite.  Black indigo, milky white stones, and silver are also naturally aligned to your energies, but somewhat less so than the blue. You tend to be visionary, idealistic, spiritual, dreamy, compassionate, mystical, and trusting.  Often, though, your dreaminess can cause you to be impractical.  Rather than confront difficulties you may wish to escape from them or avoid them.  Your trusting nature can also cause you to be gullible and to allow others to influence you more than they should.

The brown and orange stones (including tiger’s eye, agate, smoky quartz, carnelian and sardonyx) can give you assisitance in creating a more realistic and practical perspective on life.  Red stones, such as ruby, garnet, red jasper, and coral, etc., can be very helpful for you by supporting quicker decision making and the strength of purpose to see things through.  You may also find that diamonds and steel can be great power and strength builders for you.

February Birth Flower – Violet

As the birth flower for February, the violet symbolizes the gentle qualities of modesty and shyness together with strength of character in adversity.

March Birth Flower – Daffodil

Symbolizing rebirth and new beginnings, the daffodil is virtually synonymous with spring. A gift of daffodils is said to ensure happiness.  But always remember to present daffodils in a bunch – the same legends that associate this cheerful flower with good fortune warn us that when given as a single bloom, a daffodil can foretell misfortune.

The Wheel of Fortune – Tarot Card #10

Major Arcana: “ What goes up must come down, spinnin wheel….”

Astrological Sign: The wheel of Fortune card like the seasonal elements of continuous cycle have an astrological blend of four Zodiac signs.
Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio bring both light and dark traits within their own and then you throw all four in the mix “Make up your mind already”. Shall we just say that it will be a continual reflection of highs and lows just like most of our lives.

When this card shows up so are we. “Lady Luck “is with us right now and it is a good time to take some chances and calculated risks.

Right now things are going our way so take advantage as this is a positive period within our life and decisions bring about nothing but positive change and improvements. It doesn’t hurt that we can have that wonderful jingle of additional money in our pockets right now either.

Enjoy, enjoy …. But watch for when the Wheel changes as it always does when we enter hopefully just a time of stagnation, or worse “if not for bad luck maybe none at all”.

During this time the best approach is “none at all” just set up camp and quietly wait for this to pass and it will, then the wheel turns back up and “Lady Luck once again smiles upon us.”
