For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday...

Where were you when on that terrible day? Until ten years ago, during my lifetime at least, that question almost always pertained to the day the shots rang out and killed Kennedy; his presidency the seeming symbol of refreshed and restored hope to a nation that had been bruised, bloodied and battered by two successive World Wars. All those lives lost. All those sons and daughters, fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters. Perished. Some burned alive even. And, then, a chance at rebirth. Until shots rang out from a grassy knoll and killed it.

Your Astrological Empowering Days for July 2011

Grape flavored Kool Aid might not be the only thing feeling fried as we begin this July. Although this month will seem like a picnic compared to last, that still doesn’t mean that we won’t be feeling fatigued from dealing with the dual June eclipses and now having to take cover from one last Johnny Come Fate-ly. This next Solar eclipse comes courtesy a New Moon rising on July 1. The Curley of the three, this eclipse will shake and rattle, no matter how you roll. No Moe, No Moe! But it is a Friday.

And now, add Amy Winehouse…..

The Codetalkers and R.E.M., jungle music pioneer Goldie and even Gwen Stefani and her band ‘No Doubt’ have all written and/or recorded music about it. As have other musical artists down through the ages. Lior Shamriz shot a full length feature movie with the same name in 2009 and Australian playwright Tommy Murphy put on his piece with the same name alongside the Sydney Theatre Company in 2008/09. J.

Your September Empowering Days!

The end of this last Mercury retrograde was a doozy of a dilly and did what Mercury in retrogrades do best, left all the rest of us asking ‘what’s next?’ Earthquakes on the East Coast shaking things up while Irene preferred to stir. In fact, as I write, I’m doing so from New York City. So, while I still have access to electricity (because I always have MY power) let’s take a look at what to expect next.

It's All About HU

“HU is woven into the language of life. It is the Sound of all sounds. It is the wind in the leaves, falling rain, thunder of jets, singing of birds, the awful rumble of a tornado… . Its sound is heard in laughter, weeping, the din of city traffic, ocean waves, and the quiet rippling of a mountain stream. And yet, the word HU is not God. It is a word people anywhere can use to address the Originator of Life.”

You are my sunshine….

A weekend filled with working, whittling away at the never ending ‘To Do’ and Cam Newton (again!) not necessarily in that order either. And, okay, yes, the Jets! Hey! Sounds just like last weekend. Except my Aunt Mary died and so did my friend Rob, a great guy married to one of my best friend’s sisters, Lisa. Got me thinking, alot, about death. Not just the usual ‘stuff’ either. I have learned in past that we must do everything humanly (pun intended) possible while alive to transform our bodies into light before our deaths.

It's The Great Pumpkin….

Well now according to early American folklore, if you leave a half of pumpkin exposed in your kitchen negative energies will soon arrive to spoil your day and your cooking. So do be sure that as you and the wee ones gut ‘em, that you dispose of ALL of the innards and any spare pumpkin shell that you’re not using and dispose of all of that OUTSIDE the house.

Empowering Days for June 2011

Sure is a lot happening high in the skies during this halfway mark of the year! I’m not just talking about Gabby Gifford’s husband touching down either, although, I do think a rocket hurtling back to earth could shortly symbolize what we might soon see in our stock market. But I’ll do the financial stuff in a second. For now, we have astro energies that are going to, in some way or another, have an altering effect on every single solitary person on this planet during these June days.

Stress Free Techniques the Feng Shui Way

Feng Shui says that there are SEVEN DAILY STEPS to a STRESS-FREE life and they are as follows: 1. Meditate for at least five minutes a day. You can do that by waking five minutes earlier in the morning and then simply focusing on your breathing for that short time frame. 2. Read at least one chapter in any book. 3. Do a good deed or perform a random act of kindness. 4. Compliment someone (even an animal). 5. Walk for thirty minutes. 6. Tidy up one section of your home.

The Answers My Friends Are Blowin' in the Wind

Dear Lord how cute were those toddlers on IDOL in their prom outfits last night. BUT how much cuter is Tim McGraw…and what about that Steven Tyler gettin’ all up in it? But, by far, the most fun I’ve had with ANY show this season (yes harpy housewives….MORE fun than watching you!) was when the boys did their homage to TOM JONES and then he came out on stage looking exactly the same as he did in his white Elvis hip huggers and black blouses a million and three years ago!

Jammin for Love

There’s a reason that State Fairs are so commonplace in August you know. In fact the American county fair is the very symbol of a celebration of plenty, of community and of pride in the fruits of labor. VERY much a ripple effect from what was called ‘The First Harvest’ during the magical, mystical days of olde. But, back to now. After all the work of planting, watering and weeding is done, August is THE time of year to show off the fruits (and flowers and veggies!) of your hard work especially if they are included in a Magically Delicious jelly or jam!

Your Empowering Days for October 2011

R & B singer Jimmy sang from his Soul when once upon a time he offered that “if you want to be happy for the rest of your life. Never make a pretty woman your wife.” Well, I don’t know about that but I do know that October can bring some ugly relationship energies to the fore no matter what your partner looks like. As my dear old Da used to say, “it’s not what you say Ellen, it’s HOW you say it.” I’m now passing that excellent (especially for October) advice on to you. Believe you me, you’ll thank me when all that natural charm of yours isn’t even making a dent.

The Elephant in the room….or, at least it should be!

Let’s let the elephant stay in the room today since it’s ‘Elephant Appreciation Day,’ especially after reading what Feng Shui has to say about this prosperity attracting pachyderm. According to this philosophy, the elephant is considered a precious animal that symbolizes fertility, strength and wealth. Oriental traditions regard the elephant as one of the four animals of power, alongside the tiger, leopard and lion. It’s also one of the seven precious treasures of Buddhism, and is considered a most valuable creature.

Your November Empowering Days!

I love the idea that Thanksgiving is less a day to ditch the diet but more a word of profound and powerful action. After all, the full feeling that this day promises should come more from the heart before anything’s actually carried out of the kitchen. Let your thankful heart be alive and conscious of all of your blessings and treasures this month. I’m fairly certain too, that not least among that (long?) list will be the fact that November itself will contribute to all sorts of creamy grateful gratitude. Yes, I said it. At last!

Your March Empowering Days

THINK TWICE. If I could just offer those two words of such critical importance and mass this month and leave it at that, I would. THINK TWICE. Two words that will have such impact, such life-altering influence that if I could just leave it right exactly there, like I said, I would. But then you’d probably think somebody wordnapped me and you’d get all conce ed and act impetuously and impulsively and forget to THINK TWICE at every turn – and, then, I would be to blame for jackin’ your future.

Your Empowering Days for August, 2011

Inside the first two days of August, Mercury the Messenger, the planet that governs all things related to communications, goes on vacation until the end of the month. Now, I don’t know about you, but How I Spent My Summer Vacation (so far at least) is pushing water up a lazy river. People. Places. Things. That are supposed to be collaborating/helping/working on pulling prime projects along are just always someplace else. Except the ones who aren’t. Me REALLY likey them. And Gail, Patty, Mariel…you know EXACTLY who I’m talking about.

The Secret Sounds of Prosperity

You have to believe (!!) that you deserve what you are NOW going to manifest. So, once you get clear on what you are going to do with your new found fat stack, you will start to chant the following: (Phonetically first and then actual spelling) Om Shreem Maha Lockschmee Sva ha OM SHRIM MAHA LAKSMI SVAHA Start out be reciting as many times a day as you can but work your way up to 108 times. I use a mala for these purposes but you can certainly count on your fingers or use any other tool that will help you keep an accurate count.

Somewhere Over….The Next Few Days!

Okay, so, I’ve already said quite enough about what we can expect the next couple/few days what with a dynamic and problematic T-Square baring both teeth and ill will. An angry and assertive red planet will be squaring off against unpredictable Uranus and uber power Pluto practically begging you to think very very VERY carefully, especially before you speak (or text or email or smoke signal.)

I'm goin' fishin', yes I'm goin' fishin', and my baby's goin' fishin' too!

Title of today’s blog is a chorus of one of my all time favorite Taj Mahal songs. I sure does love me some Taj Mahal! Okay, have to make this quick since I have an appt out of office in an hour and I’m nowhere near glam enough to take my bad self out into the big, wide world. Believe it or not I’m actually starting to get emails from parents whose kids are heading back to the classroom. So today I wanted to share a really remarkable Feng Shui cure (ask fifty gagillion clients who have tried this….okay, okay, ask the ten or so that I have testimonials from…) this fish works swimmingly.r

Giving it the old college try...

Door Room Shui…if there were only ONE thing that any student should do, what would that be. Oh, yes, keeping the clutter cleared was right up there. Implausible as that may be considering the age range we’re dealing with. And making sure the bed if OFF the ground so Chi can circulate unde eath is quite critical too. In fact, keeping a separation between studying and the bed is pretty important too.

Much to be So Thankful For! Especially on Turkey Day!

What will YOU be grateful for on Thanksgiving DAY? Let’s see ……… ARIES: You’ll be truly grateful IF you don’t try to do EVERYTHING and see EVERYONE on this one day. As the warrior of the zodiac usually you are able to leap tall buildings in a single bound while jumping right over the river and the woods as well. On this holiday though you will find far more satisfaction and fulfillment during the quiet times so plan accordingly. Philosophy is your friend today so do something to feed your soul before you put one morsel in your mouth!
