Psychic Times - July 2009

Selene

Welcome, I'm Selene, Editor-In-Chief of the Psychic Times Newsletter. Each month, in this column, I'll be giving you the highlight's of the issue and sharing some personal thoughts. Please read on...

Dear Readers,

Hello! Happy July to you! As I write to you on the first day of summer the energy of the Solstice is particularly strong as it is followed by the New Moon in Cancer tomorrow. The Summer Solstice has traditionally been a time of celebration as the longest day of the year was recognized in earlier times by a gathering of the tribes. People would travel to visit family and celebrate together while honoring the Sun which brings us life. Sun in Cancer time has always been about family and nurturance since the Moon rules this sign, we are compelled to recognize and make the most of what we have no matter how much or how little it may be. In present time we still plan family gatherings, picnics and barbeques in early summer, such as celebrating the 4th of July in the US, we want to spend time outdoors in the sunshine with those we love.

Yesterday I performed a beautiful wedding ceremony in an idyllic setting at an outdoor resort next to the Feather River here in Northern California. What is quite interesting about this particular venue with its spectacular view of the river is that it is right off of a major highway on a frontage road, you actually enter this "resort" by driving through a trailer park that is located next to an army surplus store, public storage units and a paintball combat zone. I did a ceremony there last year so I knew where it was but have to admit I was pretty skeptical about it when I first saw where it was situated. But after you drive around and figure out how to find it, the park and event area is actually quite peaceful and pretty next to the river. There is a huge covered patio area that sets up nicely for the reception whether it is a catered event or a potluck, it's a great casual outdoor setting where family and friends can spend the day to celebrate and relax.

There were 150 people attending this wedding so we had to park behind the trailer park and got a thrilling golf cart ride to where the wedding was held. As we waited for the people who were late because they had a hard time finding the resort, two cranes glided down the river swimming together, it was a beautiful sight. They seemed to be watching us as they circled around in river right in front of our gathering, several people took pictures, after they passed the area set up for the wedding they majestically flew up in the air in unison and crossed in front of us again as they soared off into the sky. Cranes are a symbol of long life and good luck so we all interpreted this as a blessing from nature for this young family. Everyone laughed as the bride's 2 year old daughter ran around and started talking when we mentioned her name during the ceremony. They had the option of holding their celebration at a country club but preferred a more casual outdoor event catered by their favorite neighborhood Mexican restaurant instead. It was perfect for them despite all the glitches that come up during the planning of a large gathering like this. They created the loving and nurturing experience they wanted to celebrate their marriage and commitment to family. They also were true to themselves and did the wedding and reception their way. The point of this story is to know the essence of what you want in your life in order to manifest it. Enjoy the simple things and spend time outdoors with the people you love this summer.

Be sure to read my horoscope column to gain insight into the intense planetary influences this month. The Moon is the featured planet during July as we experience a Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn and a Solar Eclipse with a second New Moon in Cancer along with the movement of the North Node of the Moon into Capricorn towards month's end. This dynamic will challenge us emotionally as we strive to maintain balance and find practical ways to proceed in the face of change.

In Shaman's Corner the subject for July is Cell Memory, Salome explains how our cells hold on to energy and offers some practical tips and tools to help you clear out memories and energies from the past that may be causing you issues in the present time. Contact her on Psychic Access for personal guidance on additional tools she recommends for you to help steer you through the challenges you may be facing with the eclipses this month. I love how Salome and I tend to be on the same wave length and write articles that fit together whether we consciously decide to do this or not. It is often synchronistic and as I have mentioned before, each month Psychic Times takes on a life and theme of its own.

Learn about Chakras-Gateways to Consciousness in my Eye-Opener article. I compiled some notes and basic information on the chakras to help you in understanding how these energy centers affect our balance in life and our physical well being. This is a vast subject and I have presented some meditations in the past to help clear and balance the chakras but realized we had not offered an article with a basic explanation of what the chakras are to define the concept of these etheric energy centers more clearly. Jot down the colored letters as you read and solve the Word Jumble puzzle. This month's theme is "Tomato".

"Chakras-Gateways to Consciousness"
By Selene

Becoming aware of your energy body is another key tool to unlocking the gateways to conscious understanding and spiritual growth. Learning about the chakras was a major impetus that moved me forward on my own journey of awakening along with recognizing and tuning in to the natural cycles of the Sun and Moon. Of course that journey of discovery never ends and hopefully we each continue to grow and expand in wisdom throughout our lifetimes. In fact, it is my belief that the chakras travel with our souls and spirit from lifetime to lifetime and store the information you have accumulated throughout your various incarnations as well as the cellular memories of past experiences in your present body. In prior columns I have shared meditations for clearing and balancing your chakras along with some insight into what area of the body each chakra rules. This month we will focus on some basic information on what the chakras actually are and how these energy centers influence our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being.

Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means "Wheel of Light"; the traditional belief is that there are 7 energy centers of the etheric body that lie along the spine and are spinning in constant rotation. There are also chakras in our hands and feet as well as outside the body above and below that connect us to the Earth and the Cosmos but to keep it simple, we will focus on gaining greater understanding of the 7 energy centers that correspond to the glandular system in our physical bodies. They appear energetically as wheel like vortices of light and are sometimes referred to as lotuses since they look like many petalled flowers. The colors of the chakras correspond to the colors of the rainbow. Check out the April 2009 Eye-Opener for the Lotus Bath Meditation that I frequently use for chakra balancing myself. This meditation does not have to be done in a bath, it can easily be adapted to use while sitting in a chair with both feet flat on the floor, laying down or while outdoors sitting cross legged on the ground. The chakras lie along the spine starting with the Root chakra at the base all the way up to the Crown chakra at the top of the head. Through the chakras our Spirit and Soul become receptive to and communicate with cosmic energies. Each of our chakras has its own purpose and connection as well as unique energies it is associated with. CG Jung taught that the chakras are the gateways to consciousness. By balancing and raising our awareness of our chakras we can become more receptive to the Divine and unite our Individual Soul with Universal Soul. Experiencing their presence will help you tap into your innate wisdom and knowledge of the chakra system as a spiritual being in a physical body.

Carolyn Myss is a renowned author, teacher and medical intuitive who brought the concept and study of chakras to mainstream consciousness. She teaches that the Root chakra connects us all at a tribal level and has to do with basic survival; an energy we all share as a collective experience. With the current economic situation there is a shared level of fear about having the basic needs of life met, with the high unemployment rate and all the changes that Pluto in Capricorn has brought so far it is important to work on keeping the Root chakra open and balanced. If the Root is blocked it will have an effect on every other energy center in the body.

An easy way to begin your understanding of the chakras is to obtain a good chart that illustrates and describes the chakras and gives the correspondences related to them such as the body parts and glands, related gemstones, colors, planets, essential oils, recognizing traits of balanced and unbalanced energy centers. Since they are affiliated with the endocrine system and brain they do directly relate to physical health and well being. As you identify and activate them through meditation and study you will find that you can bring balance and harmony to your body, mind and spirit. There is much to be learned from books but in my opinion you can learn what you need from meditation and tuning in to your chakras. One excellent book on energy exercises and meditation is Your Aura & Your Chakras-An Owner's Manual by Karla McLaren. Another classic work is The Sevenfold Journey-Reclaiming Mind, Body & Spirit through the Chakras by Anodea Judith & Selene Vega. The information presented here is based on my research and notes from various sources. There are many books on this subject and a vast amount of knowledge to learn, it is actually overwhelming how much there is to potentially study. Learn the basics and let your chakras teach you. Here is some basic information on each chakra:

Root Chakra

The First or Root chakra is considered to be our animal center, it rules basic emotions, animal instinct (like survival) and animal passions (like rage).It is situated at the base of the spine, in the area of the perineum. The Root chakra is the primary source of energy and the grounding and manifestation center. Its color energy is red. It connects our physical body to the Earth. In females it spins in a counter-clockwise direction and males in a clockwise direction. It regulates the hips, legs and feet, lower back, sexual organs and blood circulatory system.

Feelings of isolation, aimlessness and apathy can be symptoms of an unbalanced root chakra. This can also manifest as being overly attached to material things or being attracted to someone based solely on physical appearance. When the root chakra is well balanced, we experience security, health, ambition and positive life force energy. When in harmony there is a feeling of profound connection to nature.

Sacral Chakra

The Second or Sacral Chakra is situated about one inch below the navel, between the ovaries in females and at the gonads in males. Its color energy is orange. This second chakra rules the sexual organs, kidneys, bladder and large intestine. This is the detoxifying center. It is our center of family patterns, sexuality, emotions, empathy and creativity. We perceive energy at a gut or feeling level through empathic or clairsentient abilities. In females it spins in a clockwise direction and in males in a counter-clockwise direction. This center rules the balance of free giving and receiving of emotions. Unsure and unstable sexual relationships can affect this area energetically and the health of the corresponding organs.

If well balanced it manifests as healthy emotions and passions. Harmony is achieved with being open, considerate, friendly and kind. When this center is unbalanced it can manifest as anxiety, anger, frustration and stress,

Solar Plexus

The Third chakra is considered to be the second mind; it is our center of being, where we generate and contain our life force energy. It is located right in between your rib cage, a few inches below the breastbone. Its color energy is yellow. The Solar Plexus regulates the digestive system, stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas and small intestine. In females it spins in a counter-clockwise direction and males in a clockwise direction. It relates to personal power, ego, desires, instinct and impulses.

The third chakra is the center for astral travel, psychic development and communication with spirit guides. When in harmony there is a feeling of wholeness, inner calm and peace due to balance of the spiritual and material world. Lack of confidence, confusion and pessimism might be indications of an unbalanced third chakra. Being out of harmony manifests as a need to control and dominate others with an emphasis on the material.

Heart Chakra

This is the center of pure love. The Fourth chakra is located behind the breastbone. Its color energy expresses as green or pink. It correlates with universal love and compassion. This is the middle point of our energy system, where spirit, mind and body meet. It rules the heart, lungs, circulatory system, shoulders and upper back. In females it spins in a clockwise direction and males in a counter-clockwise direction.

An unbalanced fourth chakra can manifest through obsessive behaviors, lack of self-worth and cruelty. Physical problems include heart disease, blood pressure problems, and insomnia and breathing problems. When this center is in harmony we feel affinity with others, tolerance, compassion and understanding.

Throat Chakra

The Throat Chakra is situated right where the collarbones meet. It is the Fifth chakra; its color energy is blue. It corresponds to the thyroid gland which regulates the production of hormones in the body. It also regulates communication of all kinds. This is the point where spirit manifests through creativity, expression, change, transformation and healing. In females it spins in a counter-clockwise direction and males in a clockwise direction. It rules the throat, thyroid, teeth, and ears. It also rules the inner ear and abilities of clairaudience or the ability to hear spiritual information or insight.

When well balanced it brings steadiness and inspiration, we know when to trust our intuition. We are able to speak our truth and experience balance in expression. When out of harmony there can be much talking without finding true expression, there is discomfort with silence and fear of being judged and rejected. Physical problems related to an unbalanced throat chakra could be hyperthyroidism, skin irritations, ear infections and back pain.

Brow Chakra or Third Eye

The Sixth chakra is situated on the forehead right between the eyebrows. Its color energy is indigo. It enables the recognition of being and is linked to the pituitary gland. In females it spins in a clockwise direction and in males in a counter-clockwise direction. This chakra rules the eyes and the faculty of seeing, both physically and intuitively. It is our center of clairvoyance or clear seeing. This is the memory and planning center. It rules the eyes, the brain, the face and the endocrine system.

When well balanced it brings understanding, good analytical skills. Intuition and inner awareness are incorporated into everyday life. When unbalanced, it causes lack of realism, which might result in delusion. If this center is out of harmony there is a tendency towards rejection of spiritual aspects with an over emphasis on intellect and science. Problems with eyes and sinus can all be symptoms of an unbalanced brow chakra.

Crown Chakra

The crown is the Seventh chakra; it is situated at the very top of the skull. Its color energy is violet or white. It is our connection to the Divine and brings us information on what our higher purpose is. It rules the brain, the left and right hemispheres. This center contains the ability of clear knowing or claircognizance and is linked to the pineal gland. This is the connection point to the Universe, the Higher Self. In females it spins in a counter-clockwise direction and males in a clockwise direction.

When well balanced, it brings understanding, wisdom, enlightenment, conscious awareness and blissfulness. When unbalanced, it brings extreme fear (panic), depression, exhaustion, alienation.

Knowing about the chakras and working to bring them into balance will help to keep you healthy, happy, productive, expressive and at peace. Simply placing your attention on each chakra and breathing deeply into it as you visualize the corresponding color clearing and bringing it into balance is a good way to begin to clear negativity and blockages. Yoga and other forms of energetic exercise such as Tai Chi and Chi Gong also help to bring balance to these energy centers. A good understanding of the chakras and how they work is essential to effective meditation and life mastery. I hope this brief explanation will assist you in your own studies and help to advance your spiritual journey.

Join me in wishing a warm welcome to Mystic Carli. This very popular reader joined us at Psychic Access in May 2009, and already has a long list of regular clients. Her life-long natural gifts are well balanced by her honesty, warmth and wisdom. She makes you feel very comfortable and understood, in fact, you will feel like she is an old and trusted friend from your very first session with her. We are pleased to present her as our Psychic of the Month for July!

Selene: Hello there Mystic Carli! I am so happy to meet you and really appreciate your taking the time for this interview. I was so impressed with your profile; please share with us how you came to embrace your work as a professional psychic and spiritual advisor. Was there a specific event or occurrence that let you know this work and helping others was what you were supposed to be doing?

Mystic Carli: It is so nice to meet you too. It is my pleasure to do this interview with you. Thanks for the compliment. There are two incidents that stand out in my past that made me realize that being a psychic spiritual advisor is what I need to do in my life. I was shown that I was meant to use my senses to assist as many people as I can before my time is finished on Earth.

The first incident occurred when I was giving birth to my first son. There were major complications at the end of his delivery and both of us almost passed away. As our hearts were beating slower and slower, I felt an unusual peace and began to see foggy, tunnel vision; my whole body felt like it was rising slowly up into the sky, moving above the clouds. I saw a beautiful angel at the end of this tunnel vision, greeting me with a big smile and open arms. I told her I was not ready yet because I have not accomplished my mission on Earth yet. I now know that this was a sign from above to stay strong and not give up. I will be at peace within myself until I am able to help as many people as I can over the course of my lifetime.

Going back over the years, I remember experiencing anxiety attacks just before significant events in my life would happen. One example occurred when I was driving home from work one day. All of a sudden, my vision became blurry, my body became very hot and sweaty, and I was burning. My heart was beating fast and I could see smoke, it felt like I was inside a fire. I started to panic and had to drive home as fast as I could. I knew there was a fire at my house. As I got closer and closer to my home, I could really see the smoke and smell the fire. As it turned out, there truly was a fire at my country home. However, it was a bon fire purposely set by my husband, so our children could pretend they were camping out in our front yard, beside the huge recreational pond. From that point on, I knew that I had to use this unique ability and work with people to help guide them to their own destiny.

Selene: So your talents came to you naturally, did you have a mentor to help you on your path or was there some particular course of study that led you to pursue this work?

Mystic Carli: My Dad is an Astrologer. He has always done my star charts, keeping me informed as to what is in store for me. My younger sister is a gifted psychic in the area of tarot cards. They both have been a very important part of my life helping me to get to where I am at today.

However, the person that made the most difference in my life to move me forward on this path was the first psychic I visited in North Vancouver, British Columbia with my friends. I was not happy with the way my life was going and this psychic was the one that helped me make the important decisions in my life in regards to my past, present and my future. Since she made such a difference in my life, I sincerely desired to do the same for others. My college studies in Communications, Sociology and Psychology gave me a much better understanding of people which helps me in all areas of my life.

Selene: Do you use tools such as the tarot in your readings? Do you have guides who assist you directly with your readings?

Mystic Carli: I do not use any tools and I do not have guides. My psychic senses come to me through online chats and through the spoken word on the phone or in person. As we chat, I am able to pick up on every situation and help my clients to understand and sort through what is going on around them.

Selene: You have rave reviews from your many clients on Psychic Access. I am amazed that you already have so many faithful regular clients. How is it that you can tune in to people so quickly?

Mystic Carli: To be honest, I really don't know. I do believe it is a natural gift. That is how I am in person with everyone I encounter in everyday life. I have a naturally kind, caring, warm and friendly temperament with a love for people.

Selene: We are very pleased to have you on our staff, how do you like working on Psychic Access so far? When can your clients find you online?

Mystic Carli: Thanks! It is my pleasure to be a part of Psychic Access. It is the best Psychic site on the internet. The Psychic Access staff members are very helpful and friendly; they have made me feel very welcome here. Customer Service is fast and fair. Doug works very hard to answer all my questions quickly and any technical issues have been solved promptly.

Since I work through the daytime September through June, I am usually available most evenings and weekends when I am home. I will be available more throughout this summer in July and August during the daytime as well. I will be on vacation July 5 to July 13 and again August 14 to August 23.

Selene: How does your background in psychology help you in counseling people when you see things that they may not want to hear? I know you are very honest and straight forward but also quite diplomatic, how does this help you in handling delicate situations and still getting your clients to listen to the truth?

Mystic Carli: My background in psychology has taught me how to understand people and help them to understand themselves. I always try to help people focus on the positive side of every situation by putting the past behind them and working towards the future.

Selene: In the difficult times we are all facing now, what advice or guidance would you have for our readers in staying on track in their lives and not giving in to depression?

Mystic Carli: My advice to all of our readers during these difficult times is to be patient. When things become unbearable, that is the time to call and talk to someone to help sort things out in their lives to get back on track. I would like to let our readers know that I am here to help them anytime I am available and will help to bring them up when they feel they have hit the bottom. If I am not available, there are always other talented psychics on Psychic Access that would also love to assist them.

Selene: I see that you have helped people from all walks of life. How do you help your clients with making difficult decisions?

Mystic Carli: In order to help my clients make difficult decisions, I listen to my clients, understand them and assist them with making their own decisions, always focusing on the positive outcome. There is always a positive side to each and every situation and I work hard with my clients to find it.

Selene: Many clients contact you for guidance on relationships, what qualifies you as an expert on this subject?

Mystic Carli: My educational background in Psychology, Sociology, Communication and Early Childhood Education has been very helpful in helping me understand personal relationships, family relationships and how children are affected. I was raised by a single mother and have been through a divorce and the death of a spouse. My own personal experiences have given me the strength and true inspiration to help others sort through their own issues and help guide them into their future. I pick up on senses through chats and this helps me to understand what is happening in each relationship. I use my knowledge and senses to help guide my clients in regards to their own personal relationship.

Selene: What about the concept of soulmates, would you please share some of your knowledge and insight on this subject with us?

Mystic Carli: Many people ask me about soulmates. Many people that chat with me need advice and I help them to find their answers. My belief is that there is a soulmate for everyone but finding our soulmate is difficult. I am able to pick up on a person's soulmate and let them know if this is the one for them, or if they have not yet met their soulmate. I can help guide a person to their soulmate if their soulmate is not in the picture yet.

Selene: You specialize in helping people to understand strange behaviors and their past, present and future lives. Could you explain a bit more about this please?

Mystic Carli: In order to understand where we are at today and where we are headed, it is very important to understand our past and present life in order to head into our future life in a more positive way. I try to help my clients to understand the strange behaviors of others and how we can look at those behaviors in a more positive way in order to deal with these behaviors more effectively.

Selene: I am always fascinated by psychics who offer pet readings. How did you know you had this ability and how do you tap into a pets energy from a distance without them present?

Mystic Carli: I have always loved animals so it comes naturally to me to want to help them. When I am around animals I feel like they want me to talk for them. People always say they don't understand an animal and what they want and are amazed when I am able to correctly assess their life wants, needs and desires. I pick up on senses through chats and voice from people and can help people understand their pets.

Selene: Your degree is in Early Childhood education and Psychology. Did you pursue your education specifically to work with special needs children? What motivated you to go into this field? I am sure it is very rewarding, what would you like to share with us about your work with the kids that you teach?

Mystic Carli: I pursued my Early Childhood Education and Psychology Education to work with young children and their parents. I enjoyed team teaching young children in infant, toddler and preschool daycare settings and in the public school system with Kindergarten children. Some of my work was with special needs children. Now I work full time for the school board with only special needs children and enjoy it tremendously. I like to be able to speak out for those children that cannot speak for themselves and help them to develop their skills at their own pace. As each new skill of a special needs child is accomplished it brings me tremendous rewards to know I am a part of where they are at today.

Selene: I see that you are a very busy lady with a full time teaching job, two sons and your career as a professional psychic. How do you manage all the responsibilities in your life and still stay so optimistic and upbeat?

Mystic Carli: My youngest son moved out recently so I am now living with my oldest son. He helps me out a lot around the house even though he works full time too. When I am not teaching, or meeting up with my friends and family, I always make myself available when I am home for my professional psychic service. Helping others is what brings me the most satisfaction out of life.

Selene: What about these two great boys of yours, how old are they and what are some of their interests?

Mystic Carli: I have a 21 year old son who is very successful in life. After finishing trucking school, he is doing well working as a tow truck driver. He just purchased a beautiful fairly new home with his partner. She just graduated from Chef School and is working as a Sous Chef in a prominent establishment. My 24 year old son works very hard as a construction worker building brand new homes and enjoys helping others on his own time with other projects when he is not entertaining his girlfriend.

Selene: Have you always lived in Ontario, Canada? What do you like most about where you live?

Mystic Carli: I have lived in Ontario for most of my life. I also lived out west in the Vancouver, British Columbia area for 11 years. I miss the mountains and ocean. However, my family is here and there are more opportunities in my Early Childhood Education profession here in Ontario so that is why I returned here to reside. I enjoy living on a border city and having access to Michigan, USA to go shopping.

Selene: I see that you love to cruise, where have you gone on your cruises and what are your travel plans for the future?

Mystic Carli: I have been on many dinner cruises in the past. However, a couple of years ago, I went to the Caribbean on a 7 day cruise with my sons. After that cruise, I decided that I want to go on many more in the future. I would like to cruise to Alaska or the Mediterranean. Or perhaps a trip to Paris, France or London, England, Europe, Hawaii, Australia or New Zealand would be exciting. There are so many places I would like to visit.

Selene: You also love to cook, what are some of your favorite dishes to cook? Please share with us about the other hobbies and interests you enjoy.

Mystic Carli: I used to work in major hotel kitchens as a fine dining and short order cook as well as preparing salad buffets. I enjoy preparing decorative fruit trays, salads, and dessert trays as well as making cakes and cookies. I love to cook Italian foods such as pastas and Mexican foods as well as stir-fry dishes.

Some of my other interests include watching live NASCAR races with my youngest son and attending concerts and live theatre performances with my Mother and sisters.

Selene: What else would you like our readers to know about you?

Mystic Carli: My goal is to share my positive energy and help you to take it with you where ever you go. I want to bring you the strength you need to get you where you want to be in your life. With my help, I can guide you onto your own special pathway in life.

Selene: This is the part that is unscripted; do you have some words of wisdom to share or something else you would like our readers to know?

Mystic Carli: Life is what we make it. We can choose to live in the past or be stuck in the present. However, with my help, I can guide you into your happier destiny ahead. Change is hard for everyone. Please don't be scared. I will help you through the necessary changes you need to make to get to where you are destined to be.

Selene: Carli, it has been such a pleasure to interview you and help our readers get to know you better. Thank you so much for sharing your positive energy and wisdom with us.

Selene ::: Rated as one of the top astrologers on the Internet, Selene contributes her expert monthly horoscopes to Psychic Times. Selene was a psychic reader/astrologer on Psychic Web for well over six years now and on Psychic Access since it opened in 2005.

July 2009

Highlights: July begins with Uranus stationing retrograde on the 1st, this cycle lasts until December 2nd. Uranus retrograde in Pisces challenges us to delve deeply into our psyche to heal old wounds and shift our belief system so that we can adapt to sudden changes in our lives. In this very crucial and karmic time, we have 4 of the 5 outer planets in retrograde: Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, signifying a most formative period on the planet, lessons learned and decisions made now will affect us for decades. Mercury moves to Cancer on the 4th, misunderstandings and sensitivity leading to hurt feelings are heightened over the next two weeks. Venus enters Gemini on the 5th making us communicate how we feel rather than holding it in, be careful not to fly off the handle and become overly emotional. The Full Moon in Capricorn on the 7th is a penumbral lunar eclipse. This eclipse illuminates the wounded child within as we strive to attain or progress on a material level, clarify your true goals and objectives for best results. Jupiter in Aquarius conjuncts Neptune on the 10th, this pervading energy of the past two months continues to make us move in new directions, choose wisely as the choices made now can propel us forward in positive ways or cause us to remain stuck and feel victimized. Mars enters outgoing Gemini on the 11th increasing our energy levels and stamina. Mercury moves into gregarious Leo on the 17th, opening us to new levels of creativity. The New Moon at 29 degrees of Cancer on the 21st is also a Super Moon and a total Solar Eclipse. This rare second New Moon in the same zodiac sign signifies new beginnings with a shift in perception and creation of a new paradigm. It is indeed a time to change or be changed by circumstances. We have reached a major turning point and will be challenged to stick to our convictions to create the life we want to live rather than grudgingly settling for what we get. The North Node of the Moon enters Capricorn on the 26th beginning a long term phase of evolution and practical expansion that will compel us to strive harder to reach our highest levels of potential.

Aries March 21st - April 20th
Personal success will be on your mind the first part of July as you set goals for what you hope to attain through your career. Make a list of what you need most to feel contented and happy with your life, getting on track is very important to you now. Although you don't want to worry about paying your bills or having your basic needs met, you realize that people are more important to you than material things. Your priorities are shifting during the eclipse window and you want to more clearly define your role in life. You will find the most contentment from working on making your home space more comfortable, cooking nutritious meals and spending time with family. Relax and enjoy your relationships with the people who mean the most to you.

Taurus April 21st - May 20th
Let go of misunderstandings and open up communication to reconnect with old friends, there are emotional issues to be cleared up and it is better to take charge and initiate change rather than being taken by surprise. Clearing clutter in your home will help with healing emotional debris and open you up to higher achievement. You can make a new start and be happy with the long range outcome by handling your finances responsibly and paying down or eliminating debt. Your beliefs will be challenged by the eclipses this month, remain open to new options in your life offered by expanding your education or unexpected travel. Family drama may be difficult to avoid around the New Moon in Cancer, make concessions and remain compassionate. There is more to gain by being objective and understanding rather than stubbornly holding on to preconceived notions.

Gemini May 21st - June 21st
Know from deep within that you are in charge of your destiny and create your own security rather than looking to outside sources for a sense of direction. Let go of your fears about the future and dare to dream as you take charge of your finances and believe in your own abilities to create prosperity. The Full Moon in Capricorn is in your solar eighth house of shared resources, be open to new opportunities and willing to let go of the status quo. What worked for you in the past is outdated now so embrace positive change and look at opportunities from a fresh perspective. Don't overlook chances for gain as the New Moon in Cancer transits your house of money. New levels of understanding and commitment in relationships will present themselves, be willing to listen and don't assume you already know what the other person involved is thinking.

Cancer June 22nd - July 22nd
Your personal reality will shift this month from the powerful Capricorn/Cancer eclipses. Take financial inventory at the Full Moon on the 7th, be honest with yourself about what you can do to tighten your budget and make the most of the resources you do have. Relationships will also be challenging as the Moon, your ruling planet, shakes you up emotionally during the eclipse window period. You will place greater value on your personal health and well being; the time has come to make self care and self esteem more of a personal priority. The lunar activity could make you feel a bit like an emotional yo-yo, water therapy is always healing and balancing for you, this would be a good time for a retreat to a hot springs or at least taking sea salt baths to help ground and clear you of mental and physical toxins.

Leo July 23rd - August 22nd
New people and fresh perspectives will continue to enter your life as Jupiter and Neptune conjoin in Aquarius. This month's eclipses will trigger you to see past the resistance to changes in daily routine as the Full Moon in Capricorn illuminates your solar house of health and work, it could reveal an important issue that needs attention which you may not have been cognizant of. By taming the subconscious and embracing spiritual renewal you can focus on your goals and what it will take to manifest them. Let go of perceptions about the past and what has held you back, remain grounded in the present time and optimistic about what the future holds for you. By believing in yourself you can make it past any obstacle, your energy and enthusiasm will assist you with creating what you desire to manifest.

Virgo August 23rd - September 22nd
The eclipses during July will challenge you to set reasonable goals regarding diet and exercise along with getting more rest. Your new perspective can bring about growth and positive expansion as you set an intention to make the most of your life rather than merely plodding along doing the same old thing. Saturn in your sign continues to make you release worn out patterns or habits that no longer serve you, depression is a waste of energy and you are tired of feeling stuck. You will make time for the people who are important in your life and will make a point of catching up with old friends. By becoming more social you broaden your perspective. It is an opportune time to rethink career goals and raise your expectations of what you are capable of accomplishing. Avoid being temperamental or difficult to get along with for best results at this transformative time.

Libra September 23rd - October 23rd
Assertiveness and independence will help you advance your career and financial goals. You are no longer willing to settle for less and will be much more vocal about what it will take to fulfill you materially and emotionally. Take care of your obligations; it is not a time to be lazy or to let important business or financial matters go. Your credit rating and ability to provide for yourself is highlighted now. Venus your ruling planet will intensify romance and communication with loved ones during her transit through flirty Gemini. Keep emotions in balance to ensure that your needs and desires are validated, practical communication and listening to others will help prevent misunderstandings and short tempers. The New Moon in Cancer can make you overly sensitive; take time for rest and relaxation to avoid becoming distraught or emotionally exhausted.

Scorpio October 24th - November 21st
As Pluto your ruling planet settles in to practical Capricorn you will release old beliefs and underlying resentment due to miscommunications from the past. You are seeking higher truth and expansion and will move past obstacles by being optimistic and allowing the future to take form on its own rather than trying to control or micromanage others. Keep in mind that the only person you can change is yourself, by keeping expectations realistic you will avoid disappointment, resentment and blame. Be objective and don't allow volatile emotions during the eclipse window to cloud your judgment or make unreasonable demands. The New Moon in Cancer forms a positive aspect to your Sun and will assist you with creating greater understanding and cooperation with those people who are most important to you in your life.

Sagittarius November 22nd - December 21st
You are ready to clean up your act and attend to details that you may have ordinarily ignored. This new level of responsibility about shared resources, taxes or debt is part of a growth process for you. The lunar eclipse in Capricorn triggers you to make changes and step up to the expectations that others may have of you. You are tired of resisting the need for a new direction and up to date financial plan, you are looking at what you can do from a practical perspective rather than relying on your luck. Your desire to get on with your life and move beyond what has not worked for you is strong. You believe in your own abilities to manifest and are willing to grow. The New Moon in Cancer will prompt you to take better care of your physical being; there will be a renewed dedication to personal health.

Capricorn December 22nd - January 19th
The Lunar Eclipse in your sign will bring changes to relationships and partnerships, you will renegotiate terms pertaining to business matters. Your desire to face up to your responsibility and accept reality comes from practical thinking, you are willing to face reality and see more clearly what your next step is. The economy will continue to be a major influence on your life, and you will be forced to accept many changes in your lifestyle. Your persistence and tenacity will pay off but it is quite important to listen and be open to the other person's point of view. Although you usually have most of the answers, you admit that you don't know everything and are more willing to accept help and validate what your mate or partner sees as a practical solution to the issues that you face in a rather trying time.

Aquarius January 20th - February 18th
Health, work and serving others is the pervading theme for you during July. The Full Moon in Capricorn may cause you to retreat from others since you feel frustrated that things are not changing for you more rapidly. You are tired of arguments and want to achieve harmony and peace of mind in your relationships. July 10th will be a powerful day for you with Jupiter and Neptune conjunct in your sign. You will be a source of inspiration to others at this time and your determination to grow and expand will be strong now. Your focus will be on improving your life and fulfilling personal needs. The total Solar Eclipse in Cancer occurs in your house of employment and health, don't be surprised if there are changes in your job, take care of any pertinent health issues for best results now.

Pisces February 19th - March 20th
Your desire for change and a new direction is very strong now. You are no longer willing to settle for less and will feel inspired to ask for more as you move forward with your life's purpose. Progress could be slow as Uranus your ruling planet is now retrograde along with Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto. Be patient and contemplative for best results as you allow new opportunities to take form. Take the time for creativity and self analysis as you look at what is missing and what may need to be released in your life. Romance can be enhanced now as you deepen your connection with your mate or partner or open up to an opportunity to get closer to someone new in your life. Spend time on home improvements and reorganizing your living space to create comfort and harmony.

The Bridge of Integrity

You probably think of yourself as a free man or woman, living in the Land of the Free. If you make enough money, you can tell your boss to take this job and shove it. Before that, however, as the Sharks sang in the musical America, you're free to wait tables and shine shoes. In Chinese, by the way, "shining shoes" simply means pleasing your boss, not literally polishing his or her oxfords, not that there's anything wrong with the latter - unless you have a degree, an MBA or used to be hedge fund manger or one of the swinging dicks of the dealing room. So, unless you're some kind of communist or troublemaker, you believe in free enterprise and you accept you do what you're told during office hours. Now that doesn't make you a wage slave or a "salaryman" (Japan style) necessarily, of course not; so long as you maintain your ethics of conviction separate from your ethics of responsibility.

Max Weber was the greatest sociologist to date in many people's opinion including mine. He said most people have two sets of ethics, one for everyone else including their leaders and another that dictates their own actions. The latter is their ethics of responsibility, the former their ethics of conviction. For most of us there some beliefs we hold very strongly about how the world should be, how we should be, how you should be and what is right and what is wrong - all that is our ethics of conviction. However, for many of us, we need to keep our jobs to feed ourselves and our families and that means turning a blind eye to things that don't sit well with our ethics of conviction. As responsible co-breadwinners, we cannot just walk out whenever we disagree with a company action or the boss's decision. Right. But if we never walk out in our career, I have to wonder if our ethics of conviction amount to a hill of beans anyway.

Now I reckon people who have conviction ethics that never challenge their responsibility ethics are people who are not really free, because their daily lives are lived out of whack with what they really believe. They justify that on the grounds of economic necessity but really it's insecurity and fear and that is the badge of serfdom.

Of course it may be that whenever people question bosses they are working in very enlightened conditions - it does happen. More often, it may be that the person has no ethics to speak of, whether of conviction or of responsibility, and rationalizes this lack as simple economics, thriving in a competitive world or screwing you before you screw him or her.

Survival always gets cited to justify unethical behavior, even by people with more than one home and more than one nice German automobile.

All I am saying is you don't have to put up with anything. As a New Age fellow traveler, you are concerned with your spiritual development, aren't you?

Well spiritual development is a path that sooner or later has to cross the Bridge of Integrity. No integrity; no development. And integrity involves integrating your ethics of conviction with your ethics of responsibility so you once or twice play the hero or the martyr for the greater good. It also involves practicing what you preach but, come on now, let's not get unrealistic here.

If you're Generation X, the songs by the Jam were often about this.

If you're Generation Y, you already have the attitude of Attitude that makes serfdom at work less likely than it was for your seniors - good on you for that. Keep it real.

Each month the lovely and most talented Salome imparts some Shamanic wisdom and teachings upon us and shares some interesting personal tidbits. Salome was a reader on Psychic Web for many years and can now be found on "Psychic Access" where she is one of the top readers. We hope you enjoy Shaman's Corner.

Cell Memory

This month I want to focus on Cell Memory. We have an inner knowing of what this means... we think. We know we 'store stuff' deep within our cells. Each cell carries the ways and means to replicate itself. Each cell has a consciousness of each event, large or small, which make up the whole of our lives to date. Your body can be likened to a miniature network or web of individual units called cells working together for a common goal. That goal is to re-create you. Perfect replication, every time.

The other function of the cell is to 'store memories'. They will stay there gathering dust until we decide they need to be cleaned up. Most of us take this whole cell process completely for granted, paying attention only when alarms bell go off indicating something is clogging the works. We even have words like being stuck, feeling stymied, and sluggish. Cell business is core life survival business.

Cells are conscious. They think and yes, they do reason. The mind of a cell is able to sort through all the events, and happenings in our lives, large or small. It can be likened to a big inventory system, complete with storage, like a big warehouse. This is where we put both good and bad.

Over the years, as we move through our lives, the cells store our experiences. It's at once both a transparent process, yet well hidden away from our conscious mind. This is as it should be. The job of our cells is to store the memories for us. It does its job so we can get down to the business of experiencing life.

Sooner or later though, the cell is like any other storage warehouse. There comes a time when one cannot deny the place needs to be cleaned out. Memories we no longer need or use must be tossed. I must make a little point here to all your hoarders out there. Cell memory hoarding gets just as noxious as hoarding anything else. When your cells are bulging with latent memories that no longer serve your system, it's a good idea to release. Let go. Growth always ensues when any storage is cleaned out.

If we don't want to delve, then we are assured things will stay in storage forever, or at least until we decide we really don't need to carry around memories gathered that keep nagging us or cause us enough distress we say enough is enough and take steps to let go and heal.

You can find a huge amount of information on cell memory on the web. Writers have been rummaging around in this subject long enough that you'll find any information on this that you seek. What I would like to tell you here are a few simple things you can do on your own without consulting a healer, and without going broke paying for a ton of new age treatments. It's far better to start on your own and seek out simple first.

The first simple thing is to use plenty of water. Take a bath. Take a shower. Way back last century, people were advised to 'take the waters' for good reason. This is because water vibrates on a very strong level with emotions. Events that have a strong emotion tied to them will respond to water faster than any other element. Water is important. Take a bath.

Second, use Earth. Clay is so close to who we are, our makeup, that to use it both inside and out detoxifies intensely. Every health food store carries healing clay both for internal and external use. As with anything else you would use, read the instructions. There is nothing like Earth for absorbing memories stored which need to be drawn out of the body. All health food stores employ wellness counselors who can teach you how to use clay. Smile, Mother Earth loves you!

The third thing you can use to clear cell memories is sound. Find some CD's you like for healing and use them. The Sounds True Company publishes healing CD's. They will send you a catalog free. Service is excellent and they have sales very often. You will find the very best sound healing material at Sounds True.

Fourth, be sure you use healing colognes and lotions on the body. Essential oils are good but what I'm referring to here is using healing colognes. Many are found in Latin markets and botanicas. Siete Machos cologne is a healer and strengthener. Florida Water Cologne is good to use as a splash. It keeps the aura squeaky clean. Both sexes can use these. These two healing colognes are the mainstays, but there are also other scented waters containing herbs and flower oils such as Krusella's brand. It comes in plain, tobacco, lavender, rose, vetivert, gardenia, violet. You choose. None of these are expensive. In fact, they are lots cheaper than regular colognes. They can also be worn under your regular scent with good results. Their purpose is to cleanse and keep good spirits around you and remove negative vibrations. Use like toilet water or after shave. Once you've tried these, you'll always go back to using them. They make you feel that good.

There are also certain products which focus on Etheric healing that are very effective in clearing cell memories. Bach's Rescue Remedy is so effective in healing trauma and shock, that it is carried in all ambulances for accident victims. All health food stores world-wide carry Bach Flower Rescue Remedy. You can also read about it on the web. It won't do the slightest bit of harm, but will leap tall buildings for you helping to clear cell memories.

If you would like to experiment with other baths for clearing cell memories, there is a classic book I have recommended for years. I understand it has just been republished. The book is called "Spiritual Cleansing" by Draja Mikaharic. No one does it better. Tons of baths and they are cheap to make. Works for Salome.

So people, next time you're feeling oogy, or sluggish, tired, cranky or just have a sense you could be doing more for yourself in the way of cell memory clearing, try a few of the things I've mentioned above.

Cell memory and sorting out the gunk is so important, but too often we get so busy in daily life we just let things pile up. The few ideas here are sent your way so you can maintain a healthy cell memory storage warehouse. It's not the complete story and yes, you must also consider using methods such as massage, exercise, Rolfing, Jin Shin Jitsu, etc., etc., etc. to name a few but.... at least now you'll have a few things that you can use at a moment's notice all the time. I like to think of these products as standards you keep close by, on hand, all the time. If you do, and use them, I can guarantee you'll notice immediately how much better you feel when you use them. They work fast!

Enjoy searching out and using these things for your health and well-being and do share this knowledge with others too. They will thank you. Even better, just put on some Florida Water Cologne after your shower and search the web for information about cell memories. You'll be amazed at how clear, focused and happy you feel. It's time to clean out the storage and give your cells some breathing room.

See you next month at Shaman's Corner.

Each month, we randomly select, from among the e-mails received from you, one person to be featured in our prayer circle. All we need from you is a paragraph or two about the person--and yes it can be yourself--along with his/her name, age and place of residence. Use the "Submit Request" link above. Oh, and don't think that only illnesses are worthy of prayers. It can be a strong desire, a job you're anxiously hoping for, or anything that keeps you up nights wishing on the stars. You'll be amazed just how potent the power of prayer really is.

For Martha & Janis

This prayer request is for my aunt (Martha Perez) who is suffering a great deal due to her illness. She has cancer and has been battleing with pain for more then 3 years. Please pray for her so she will not be in so much pain.

As for me, I'm a spiritual person and would like to pray for a good job; a job that will lead me to my highest potential, spiritually, and finally not to battle so much with finding it! I really don't care where my life should lead me as long as I'm doing God's mission and will.

God bless you all...
