In what area of life is Jupiter bringing you luck and good fortune?

Jupiter, planet of luck, generosity and benevolence, is in the sign of Cancer until July 16th, 2014.  Where Jupiter appears in your chart is where you will have expansion and be lucky. For me, it falls into my 4th house of home and family.  It’s been there since June 25, 2013. When I ran my future prediction astrology transit report, I could see it’s been right on the mark. This is why I like to do these reports, so I can see months ahead of time what’s coming up.  This is what the text reads for Jupiter in Cancer transitting my 4th house.  That means this is what I can expect to experience between June 16, 2013 and July 2104.  so far it’s been right on.  Let me know if you’d like me to do a report for you.  The report reads: Continue reading

You’ll get many more chances to do the right thing, only you prolong your pain

gift_handing copyWhen you’re given the chance to do the right thing, to right a wrong or correct an injustice and your pride keeps you from doing it, that’s okay. That just shows people who you are. You’ll get many more chances down the road. We all will.  Each of us determines how much of our karma plays out on our loved ones and for how long.

I realize I may never have had a normal relationship before now

Facebook friend Janelle writes, “Someone got mad at me for saying that “their love looks and feels like mental illness.” I only said it because it was true. I know when someone wants to love me to the point of madness … drown me, blame me and make themselves a martyr … I’m not new at this… I want you to love YOU first… and then maybe I will allow you some romantic frivolity. But not a moment sooner. It seems the more mature I get, the less patience I have for those types of relationships. I find them insulting to my soul.” Her words made me realize I may have never had a healthy relationship. I was always flattered my guys acted obsessed with me. Now I’m seeing what a normal relationship is. It’s unfamiliar but it’s real. And it rocks.

I’m sure she’s just mistaken and isn’t lying on purpose

“She’s at it again, saying you said things that you didn’t say.” 
“That’s ok.”
“Why is that ok?”
“She’s simply mistaken. Anyone who reads it sees that.”
“Why does she keep doing this to you?”
“She’s not doing anything to me. But it’s ok, this has nothing to do with me.”

I polish my toenails for the first time in a decade or more

This afternoon I bought a pale pink glittery nail polish for my toes. I’m not really a girly girl. I haven’t worn nail polish for a decade or more, but I felt in a girly mood. I thought ahead and bought polish remover as well.  Now my toenails toenails pinkare all pink and glittery and they look really cute. The only problem is I forgot that nail polish has a smell.  A chemical smell.  A strong one.  I smelled it for several hours after polishing my nails. So what if it’s toxic, right? It’s pretty!  UPDATE: Not being used to the chemically smell, I found it really distracted me and dimmed down the spidey sense. Strong soaps and fragrances do that to me as well.  Good to know: no fresh mani / pedi before doing a reading!

How sweet to be remembered

How sweet that an ex has put all the personal love poems he wrote to me years ago on his blog as mystical poetry.  I love being an inspiration to connect someone to something higher than they’ve ever reached. We think we go into a relationship with one idea in mind and yet it’s really only souls searching for that higher place. Sometimes we think the physical attraction means this is our soul mate, when that is merely the fuel that keeps you involved long enough to work out karma together. The feeling of Connection that people are looking for, the exhilaration of being with someone with hearts soaring, is not a function of the person you are with, but instead it is a function of your own Connection with You. 

Connie Zweig writes, “This holy longing for something transcendant, something beyond our skin-bound individuality urges us to glimpse the divine Beloved in another human being.  It guides us to teachers who offer timeless wisdom and a direction for our devotion.  And, if we learn to hold the tension of our yearning, to honor the restlessness of the soul rather than resist it, our holy longing points the way home.” If we don’t learn, then we pretend those people and events never happened in our lives and we don’t bless them for bringing us to where we are.  

Thank you, no matter how you showed up in my life. Whether you pushed me or pulled me, drained me or fueled me, loved me or left me, hurt me or helped me, you are part of my growth and no kidding, I love you and thank you for it.

I can’t believe I’ve been doing the magazine for 22 years

I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for 22 years. I just finished updating my Google calendar with the 2014  Horizons Magazine publication and delivery schedule. It’s the first time I’ve use Google Calendar’s feature to repeat an event monthly.  Using it to schedule the print job (and daily jobs leading up to it) filled the 2014 calendar so quickly it kinda freaked me out.  Something about future commitment always kinda freaks me out at first. It feels like something that might pin me in.  Whether that’s emotional immaturity or just disconnection in the moment, it’s something I talk my way through. I used to never stay at a job (or relationship) longer than 2.5 to 3 years. I discovered why that was when I learned that’s the time it takes the planet Saturn to move through one house or one sign. I’m not known for long commitments. So when I have the same job for 22 years, that’s a BFD to me. Maybe it’s just a sign of my maturity.  Stop laughing.  Anyway, it’s been my honor and I’m ready to schedule another 22.
