January 2009 News from the Stars

Spiritual Insights

With the New Year ahead of us we all anticipate a new beginning and new start. So much has changed recently we are unsure what the future will bring. But I know this can be the most exciting year if we choose to see the possibilities as opportunities. Everything happens for a reason. Everything that appears difficult is usually a blessing in disguise for it is an opportunity to see where we can change to produce more spiritual growth. We have the choice now to see things from a positive viewpoint instead of a negative one. Remember astrology indicates the tendencies of the mass consciousness and to be aware of this can make us more in alignment with what needs to be shifted in our own individual lives. It is time to be unattached to biased opinions on anything.

It is our perception that the events outside of us and are controlling and directing our life. There is actually nothing outside of ourselves that we haven’t projected. We project our feelings and beliefs onto others and situations. These projections are actually aspects of ourselves that we may like or dislike about ourselves. The world is actually our mirror of ourselves, so when we attack others we are attacking our selves, when we hate others we are hating ourselves, when we admire and love others we are seeing that within ourselves. Once you take this literally and consciously not only will you truly understand the laws of the Universe, but you will also begin to see a substantial change in your life.

Your thoughts create your world. If you dwell on your fears and lack you most certainly will create more fear and lack. If you are envious and jealous of what others have, you will block your ability to have those things. These are the “laws of karma” or the “laws of cause and effect,” or using the new terminology “the laws of attraction.” We create and attract what we think about. We have the ability to choose how we think. It is a constant effort to change old patterns, but if we want to change we have to start with our thoughts. It begins actually with the thoughts we hold about ourselves. To become a conscious and aware individual we must begin to watch ourselves. Hear what you are saying and ask what is motivating your life.

Most of all notice what provokes an emotional response in you. All of these things are activated by your beliefs. Remember, most of your beliefs are formed early and are based on a positive or negative emotional response received over and over in your past. It then becomes your personal truth. But this is your truth and not others. You must be willing to accept that it is not a truth but only an opinion, and you must be willing to change it if it is not making you happy nor bringing you fulfillment. Taking responsibility of our own thoughts, words and actions will create your own world. How you feel is ultimately and undeniably your reality. Make this the year you create the world you want to live in.

The reason we must constantly be conscious of our thoughts is because the mass level of consciousness is full of fear and we are all connected, therefore we will be influenced by the thoughts of others, but always remember we influence them as well. Through your conscious efforts to change negative thoughts into positive thoughts you will create a life with prosperity, wealth, health and happiness. This all comes from an awareness of our connection to the divinity within all of us.

What I want to inspire in all this New Year

Consciously choose to change negative thoughts about the conditions of the world, other people, and especially in yourself. For your true reality is within you.

Listen to what you say. This reveals most of what you are thinking. You may be surprised! If you are saying I can’t afford things, I don’t have the time, I hate my job, I am so tired, I am sick of things, then you will create exactly that, and more, of what you are saying.

Take note of your feelings, when you have a negative feeling, be it sadness, anger, or fear. Ask yourself what is the situation that makes you feel this way. You may feel hopeless in the situation. What you must do is change your thoughts to a scenario of how you would like things to be and immerse yourself into the feeling you would have if you were in that scene. You must begin to feel a different way. For the more you begin to feel a certain way the more you begin to create and attract ways that achieve this in your life. So you see, you cannot just imagine your life the way you want it to be, you must feel the way you want it to be.

Take time out of each day and meditate. This can take as little as 5 minutes, but you must do it to achieve any change in your life. How can you expect things to change when you will not take action to achieve the change? Meditation is our time to connect to the divinity of spirit within us. Here is where we find the fulfillment of everything, for this is our way to love, happiness and understanding. Many of you already meditate but for those who don’t know how, you must discipline yourself. For beginners it seems impossible, but so necessary if you want to change. For beginners begin your meditation by focusing on your breath. Breathe in deeply and exhale for as long as you inhale. By focusing on the breath it keeps the mind from wondering. Then begin to visualize a white light coming through the top of your head and circulating through your entire body, with the exhale imagine all the negativity being expelled from your body. It can look like dark smoke. Then after, you will feel calmness, you may ask for guidance to come through to you. You may ask that your higher self give you answers, or spiritual guides, or teachers. Always remember to ask for what you need, and you will be given answers whether or not it comes through your mediation, dreams or omens throughout the day. The more connected you become to your spiritual life the more you will communicate to spirit and you will have an understanding and peace in your life.

Pay attention to your dreams. When we dream we are connection to our subconscious mind, which knows more about us than our conscious mind. We can learn a great deal about our inner workings and understand the origins of our beliefs and fears. Begin a dream journal, and don’t judge it. Just write down your dreams. Soon you begin to understand and make sense of your inner self as you sort through the myriad of symbols. Remember pay attention to how you feel in the dreams this is your indicator of what is being indicated to you. I believe we learn and grow as much in our dream state as our conscious state.

Do not get consumed in the mass consciousness. I do believe it is important to be aware of what is happening in the outside world. Just do not let it control your mind and consciousness.

Astrology is used as a tool for self-understanding. You can see in a chart where the weaknesses and strengths are. I choose to focus on an individual’s strengths. This will overshadow the weaknesses. It is good to know the weaknesses so you may consciously overcome these old karmic patterns. But to continually focus on the weaknesses will create more weakness. To focus on the strengths, gifts and talents produces a life with purpose, joy and happiness.

As I point out the weakness of our planet this year, remember I will always point to the positive aspects that can come out of the experience. The choice is always up to you to see the good in things, to see the likenesses instead of the differences, for then we have a world of unity instead of separation. We must choose to raise our consciousness if we want to see a world of higher consciousness. Use compassion and love in your understanding and you will see it returned to you.

The Outstanding Focus
The most outstanding focus I see for this year is a movement toward understanding and awareness through a change in consciousness. Spirituality will be a focus; dissolving the old beliefs that have limited the growth of humanity. We are moving toward a knowing instead of just believing. This is the year of a new “Awakening.”

January 11th Mercury turns retrograde at 13 degrees Capricorn. This will be a time you must withdraw from action and review your life. It is not time to make new decisions or start new ventures but it is time to review and finish up old projects. Mercury in Capricorn means it is time for new leadership. It is time to look back and analyze through research which areas work or do not work. This goes for global governments as well as our own personal resources and finances.

January 18th Mercury conjunct Jupiter will give clear vision into the future. This is an aspect of positive optimism and hope that is giving our nation a sense of freedom. There is a feeling of a new world order globally. Make sure you activate these positive attributes in your own life. Feel you are on the road to happiness. Pay attention to what you are grateful for in your life.

January 20th Mercury will conjunct Sun. This is a time of confusion. Days before and after this conjunction, Mercury retrograde will cause great concern for any electrical equipment. Back up your computers and make sure your car is repaired. Travel will be a nightmare. Expect delays and severe weather or mechanical problems. Plan to stay home if you can at this time.

January 24th Jupiter is combust the Sun indicating it is at its weakest point, for the Sun burns up Jupiter. Jupiter in combustion, and in the sign of debilitation, plus it is tied up with the nodes of the Moon (Rahu and Ketu), will produce a lack of Jupiter’s good qualities seen in the world. This means there will be corruption and problems with the economy. Jupiter is the indicator for wealth and truth indicating there will be a fall of someone in power and corruption will be revealed.

January 26th there is a Solar Eclipse at 12 degrees Capricorn heralding in a new world order in our government. There is great hope alongside great fear. Never has the world been so on edge. Capricorn is the sign for government so there is no better time to plan the inauguration. The people are putting all their hopes in the new political regime. Not to mention, the new President Barack Obama has a Capricorn Ascendant indicating an intense focus on him and his life. With so much pressure on the government there is a feeling of impatience. The fact that this new Moon is an eclipse represents the enormous change this new regime will endure. Everything in our world is about to be transformed and all the change is happening for a higher purpose to produce a more evolved consciousness.

On January 27th Mars will enter Capricorn where it is exalted and conjunct Mercury. This gives Mars great power and energy. This can be harnessed for good or bad. It is our own choice. You can use the power of Mars to get things accomplished or you can destroy your relationships through anger and resentments. The world will begin to intensify as Mars transits through this sign for the next six weeks. Be cautious and aware for there can be a world crisis stemming from the surfacing of repressed anger globally. Be aware of your resentments for they can disturb your peace and get you in trouble. On a global level there is an anger brewing that can lead to war and attacks.

Be ready for the Saturn Uranus opposition is nearing its exact opposition again which can cause great shifts and extremes in the stock markets. Its exact opposition will hit February 5th. So a few weeks before this hit expect the same extremes experienced last October and November with the economy and stock markets. What is creating this mass extreme in the financial markets globally? It is the mass emotional fears and control through the media. Don’t buy into this emotional drama. If you do, you will be contributing to this growing phenomenon of pandemonium. This is a dangerous time in humanity. The only way out, is within. It is time to form high-minded groups with the purpose of creating a better world. Never has there been such a polarization of the mass level of emotion. Take this time to meditate and visualize peace and abundance, so it can vibrate outwardly to Humanity. Feel you are protected and safe. You will make a difference in this chaotic world. Visualize world peace.

Excerpt From My Book "Awaken to the Truth"

What is Reality?

When I was about three years old, I recall having a very strange thought. It is one of those weird experiences in which I remember exactly where I was and what was happening at the time. I was in the back of my father’s station wagon, and as he drove and I rolled about, a thought occurred to me, and it stated, “You are all there is. There is no apparent world, and everyone around you is acting out a script. Nothing really exists but you. The television, the radio, the stores, the neighbors, and your friends are players on a stage, and nothing really exists.”

What if it were true? How delusional and narcissistic. I kept that thought in the back of my mind, certain I could never tell anyone, or else they might think me insane. But, to this day, I realize it is true. The world is a stage on which everyone is strategically placed to act out the issues we are here to learn. Our self is the center of the Universe, and everything is contained within us. There are countless numbers of these one-person plays, and nothing exists but you. Everything else is a mere reflection of you. Your relationships and experiences are reflective extensions of you, and it is humanity that incorporates the totality of the spirit of God. Once we accept the truth of our reality and sense our own power, then and only then, will we be whole and secure.

Insecurity arises from feelings of incompleteness and impermanence. We seek wholeness through others, through money, and through things, but only the spirit is whole. This is the all-encompassing spirit of humanity and our Universe. Make the spirit world an intentional part of your daily activities, and you will know this simple truth. You will discover emotions you have never known before, and see the world through your inner eyes. All you have to do is ask for this truth with intent, and see what happens. Be open to the information that comes to you through this process of receiving, and stop trying to control the messages. You will be amazed by the miracles that you witness. Your connection to the spirit within you will provide true security, and you will enjoy the everlasting presence of all that is - safe in the knowledge that nothing real can be threatened.
