Aries
Stone Drawn: Binghamite - Bighamite is a stone that is chock full of positive energy and said to bring all manner of good things, particularly good fortune. It is also used to summon the energies of fairies and elves and to communicate with the inner child.
Card Drawn: Shamrock - All Good Things
_____________________________________
Here's a fun exercise for you this month dear Aries. Think of your creativity as a fire and every breathe you takes feeds that fire. Close your eyes and breathe deep; feel the fire of creativity filling your body. Oh you are so full. Now imagine all that creativity inside flowing out your finger-tips in rainbow colors. Wave your hands around, watching the rays criss cross like klieg lights, and say, 'bibbity, bobbity, boo!'
All good things come through play this month Aries:) There is a natural balance between seriousness (the practical) and whimsy (outside the box), that gets swept away when the reality of physical survival has been at the top of the list for so long. From my own experience I know to live constantly worried about one's physical survival overrides the fact that there is more to life. There's FUN. When I haven't had enough fun, I find myself getting pissed off at people who are in fact having fun, and I make excuses as to why I can't have any. There's work and my schedule and there's always some excuse (quite often valid) but the bottom line is we all have to take time to make some fun or there's no balance.
That is your mission this month my beloved Aries, to make some fun for yourself; to PLAY! Play is not something you have to go on a vacation to do; play is a mind-set. it's the ability to take delicious delight in the day to day happenings, an ability that is rooted in whimsy and the fantastical.
Here are a few suggestions for making fun that I've received over the years; tell a perfect stranger you have 6 toes and then tell them how this abnormality has affected your life; tent the kitchen, play wild animal sounds, and refer to yourself as B'wana; answer the phone and say you're not there; when dealing with complainers, let the complain(er) finish speaking and then ask them in all seriousness if they'd like mayo with that; sit outside with your head wrapped in aluminum foil and watch for UFO's; sing camp songs to your pet(s) 'chuga wuk-wuk, chuga wuk-wuk, die die da dee,' is particularly good.
Nothing dispells the oppressive faster than a little fun. Fun energizes, fun feels good, fun takes the sting out the mean and restores perspective, fun makes you laugh all over and glad to be alive. Your invisible friends, and this visible one, the Lady, the Lord, and the Universe are urging you to come out and play this month dear Aries. Enjoy!

Taurus
Stone drawn: Gaspeite reduces stress and emotional ignorance and helps to bring spirituality into everyday life. Aboriginals use gaspeite to bring visions and grant success.
Card drawn: Wizard - Channel
______________________________
Before we get going Taurus I think a re-definition of spirituality is in order. In the late 70's I was seeing a shiatsu person who told me a 'channel,' was coming to her house and would I care to see her. 'What's a channel?' I asked. (channeling was not a part of the cultural lexicon in the late 70's; this was before Shirley MacLaine's'Out on Limb,' was published). She said, 'oh it's a person who goes into trance and Spirit speaks through them.' Well now that was just about the coolest thing I'd ever head of.
30 some years later I still remember my shock during the session when Spirit told me that my spirituality was NOT meant to remove me from my earthly existence. I found this enormously confusing as I truly believed that in order to be spiritual I needed to go live on top a mountain and eat roots and berries. 'No, no, no dear one,' Spirit said, 'your spirituality is your anchor into the world.' Now that was a new concept; spirituality as a means of being A PART of the world rather than REMOVING myself from it.
Spirit animates the body and Spirit needs body to grow and develop. My problem with organized religion is the Spirit and the flesh have been purposely separted. Spirit has been deemed good and flesh and the needs of flesh has been deemed evil. When people get really scared they go orthodox; meaning they go for the strictest religious practice they can possibly find. They need the rules and the regulations to feel safe, even if those rules and regulations are based on lies and illusion; even if those rules and regulations are beyond destructive to the needs of individual. The terror based and the fearful NEED someone outside them as their final authority; they will twist 36 ways from Sunday to NOT take responsibility for their lives and their choices.
I am not against strict spiritual disciplines but I NEITHER ACCEPT NOR ASSUME that just because someone is a priest/monk/rabbi etc,. lives in a monastery and/or church, echews meat, alcohol, cigarettes, and sex that they are closer to God, or know more about God than I do.
Written over the thresholds of the old mystery schools were the words, 'know self.' Since the old mystery schools were about an every deepening relationship to God and Spirit obviously knowing self was the way to get there. To do the work of knowing self is the work of authenticity. Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? There are no static answers to these questions; understanding is every evolving and open-ended. When you ask these question you'll discover one piece to the puzzle that is you which will lead you to discovery of another and another.
If you don't know what floats your boat, 'to thine own self be true,' will be nothing but a concept. To live true to self aligns you with your deeper and higher selves and your life purpose. It's definitely NOT all roots and berries; oft times its pretty damned uncomfortable as we uncover the not so pretty parts of ourselves. It kind of like lancing a boil and even though it hurts like hell it feels so much better afterwards and there's genuine opportunity for healing.
The wizard card brings power and the way to that power is by dispelling emotional ignorance, that is, the refusal to see what's what. If you can grasp and accept your reality this month, no matter how nasty, the spirit of change and transformation will be able to move through you and affect profound long lasting change; the kind of change that brings you in direct alignment with the sacred writings on your soul and with your life purpose. Yes Taurus your visions can come true.
Remember dear Taurus, the fear of change is always more stressful then the change itself. Witches have a saying, 'where there's fear there's power.' What that means is when we find ourselves frightened of moving forward there's power that needs to be re-claimed. For instance if you're afraid of what people think, that's a self-esteem issue so what needs to be strengthened is one's self-esteem. What you think about yourself HAS TO BECOME more important than what anybody else thinks about you. How you get there is between you, your God, and your therapist/couselor etc.
Tauruses by tempermant are anchors; they are the stake that keeps the tent from flying off in the storm. Make sure the tent you're staking to the ground is worth it Taurus because if it's not, your will, namely that spark of the divine that lives inside you which was always free, is fighting the evolution of your authentic self, your God/Goddess self, and your life purpose.

Gemini
Stone drawn: Labradorite is considered by mystics to be a stone of transformation. It provides clarity and insight into your destiny as well as attracts success
Card drawn: Nursing Mother - Mother
_________________________________
It would appear that you've given birth to something of real value dear Gemini, either physically or metaphorically. Whatever it is, it is completely in harmony with who and what you are and your life purpose and what's cooler than that? Now though, it's time to nurse and raise it and that can be a hard reality; just ask any mother of any newborn. Try not to let all the work you're doing and are going to have to do get you down Gemini because it's going to pay off; big time.
Do your remember the Byrd's song, 'to everything turn turn turn, there is a season turn turn turn turn?' You may want to make those words your mantra this month dear Gemini. Every 'thing,' truly has its own time; a cake is done baking when its down baking and not before, a rose blooms when its ready, you can't hurry either along anymore than you can hurry along whatever it is your raising. This is hard for a Gemini because you like things over and done with so you can move onto the next thing. However, what you've birthed is here for a lifetime which means you're going to have to lean to live with something that is ever evolving; something that is never truly done.
That's where the transformation is for you this month Gemini. You're going to figure out why it's so hard for you to live in the 'ever evolving,' and whatever the reason is you have the stellar opportunity this month to heal the wound out which that reason grows. Iif you walk this particular healing path, it will benefically impact your life for the rest of your days on the planet, in ways that you can't even begin to imagine.
Remember to nurture yourself to this month dear Gemini; healing is exhausting because you're quite literally changing frequency and frequencies. Take some down time for the brain, meaning no thinking, no obsessing, just being. Take some down time for the body too, with a little hands on energy work. What good is all the success that's here and coming if you're too stressed, anxious, worried, and worn out to enjoy it? Your 'baby,' will be the better for it too, and keep in mind that sometimes 'babies,' must be put down for the night:)
Trust in your process dear Gemini, you have set the wheels in motion and they're on the right track.

Cancer
Stone drawn: Diopside - Diopside is a very creative stone and is said to be related to love, commitment, and the inner heart. It is often called the 'crying stone,' because it brings about cleansing tears.
Card drawn: Bull - Fertility
________________________________________________
When I see the stone diopside I think of the Ace of Wands in the tarot deck. The Ace of Wands is one of the best cards to draw if you're an artist or are involved in something that takes both creativity and ingenuity. This month dear Cancer, wildly creative as you are, you're going to have to let go of something that's blocking you. It could be an inner block, it could be something outside, but whatever it is, its effect is that of a stone wall, keeping you from doing something that's written on your soul to accomplish this time around.
In my experience as a healer when I place my hands on someone and feel 'stone,' I know there are tears that need to be shed. Stone is a form of armouring, a result of some past trauma involving a sense of total powerlessness, that continues to be held in the body. The best way to deal with stone is to cry, simply because nothing moves through rock as gently as water.
This month is about cleansing Cancer, looking at and feeling your disappointments, grieving, and emptying out. This month is about loving yourself more deeply than you ever have and if you don't know how to do that imagine someone you love, and then give that love to yourself; unconditionally, freely and with joy. This month is about creating from the depths of you, depths you always suspected were there but weren't sure you should touch into but it is in those depths where your true genius lies. Where your unique vision is waiting to be brought to the light of day. Don't let the wounds, the stone from the past, deter you from creating a world, a life, an art form that is truly unique.
Cancer experiences the world through his/her feelings; this is why Cancer artists have a depth and breath of vision that blows people away. I highly encourage you to sow some new seeds this month Cancer, take a risk, be willing to change and let go of that which isn't working. The results will be soooooo worth it:)!

Leo
Stone drawn: Glendonite - Glendonite is a teaching stone. It aids learning, discovery, and the processing of new information.
Card drawn: Feather - Communicate
_________________________
Communication is not always verbal dear Leo. For instance, people who have solid self-esteem are easy to spot because they carry themselves differently than those who don't have any self-esteem at all; lovers tend to know when to steer clear and/or tread gently just by the way their partner closes the refridgerator door; I remember riding the subway one day and being so angry over something my employer said that I scared away the crazy man, who'd decided to start with me, with just one look. In the animal world there's a dance between predator and prey and when the prey knows they're done for they give off a little tremor.
This month you're going to learn a tremendous amount about how you relate to others and the world. You will be peering under rocks to find out why you think the way you do and determinely uncovering core beliefs you have about yourself. You may even find yourself reading books about spiritual paths other than your own. As it's your birthday month this kind of activity makes perfect sense; you are taking 'who am I and why am I here? to a whole other level.' Those two questions, by the way, are the most important questions you'll ever ask yourself; just know you'll never have the entire answer because you're not supposed to. You will however get pieces of the answer and each piece will lead to something else, which will lead to something else, and so on, and so on, and so on.
The resulting changes will communicate themselves and if people don't get it, you can rest assured that you will VERBALLY let them know whatever it is they're not getting, seeing, or understanding. Most Leo's really don't like to fight preferring to leave well enough alone; when someone doesn't get something they simply walk away or around, but my sense is this month you're going to have to speak up. You'll be better for it, the tapestry you've got yourself sewn into is just a touch too tight and you need room to roam and breathe.
All of this self-analysis is going to lead to a kind of re-birth, dear Leo. As you will be gaining a new intimacy with yourself, you will be able to enjoy a greater intimacy in your relationships with others. You may also find yourself weeding out the people who are feeding on you and giving virtually nothing back. Be pitiless about weeding because the relationships that are blessed and growing this month over the next year will need more room to grow and flourish.
So have a wonderful birthday beloved Leo, re-commit to being a good queen/king, but don't be afraid to holler, 'off with her head!' if the situation merits it.
P.S. Your b-day is your high day of magick so write down your 7 wishes for the year.

Virgo
Stone drawn: Aegerine - Aergerine is a high energy stone that is used for recharging a person's energy levels. It builds self-esteem, self-sufficiency, and protects against envy attacks and negative energy.
Card drawn: Black Chord - Bind
_______________________________________
Quite a few people think that because they're walled off from negative energy, meaning they've either risen above it or simply refuse to engage it, that it has no effect on them. Nothing could be further from the truth; what water is to fish, air is to human beings. Whatever's in the water passes through the fish's body; whatever's in the air passes through a human being's body. How we deal with and process it depends on our physical AND psychic immune systems. Naturally when we're run down and depleted negativity and envy can knock us for a loop. Even when we're not run down negativity and envy can do quite a number on us.
People who keep the olde ways know mirrored shields are great when it comes to deflecting negativity. You might want to imagine a few around you this month. If there's someone specific who is really behaving badly, imagine them tied up tight in shimmering white light and say, 'I bind you from harming me, yourself, or anyone else; benefitting all, so mote it be.' These are great exercises for you this August and will help you create the space you need for resting and YOU REALLY NEED TO GET SOME REST VIRGO!
You have been burning the candle at both ends, no doubt for a good cause, but you have to rest now. As the bind card came up for you there are no doubt people who are resentful of the path you've been on; perhaps it's a new path or a path that is more truly representative of who you are, and its time to send those people packing. Again, as the bind card came up for you these are not people with whom you can talk things through; implicit to talking things through is that there's someone on the other side who wants to work it out. Save your time, save your energy, and step away from the resentful and envious. It's futile to try to get people like that to see your point, no matter how logical, and I would hate to see you loose sleep over this simply because YOU NEED TO REST!
Virgo's can't stand unstructured time and the idea of just hanging out and doing nothing and/or curling up for a cat nap when the mood strikes, is downright alien to them. If you must do something this month, do something recreational that soothes the soul. One Virgo I know is going to garden; another Virgo I know is going biking; still another I know who loves to cook is experimenting with new recipes. Do whatever soothes you, do whatever makes you happy and content, do whatever gives you a good, hearty laugh.
This August be with people who love and support you and think you're nothing less than manna from heaven. Be with people you don't have to explain yourself to or defend yourself against. My dear friend Jessara (a Virgo) will only deal with 1 dysfunctional person a month and nothing and no one can sway her. When her husband told her they had to go visit his parents, she said,' I can't honey, I've already dealt with my one dysfunctional person this month.' He went by himself:)
Only you can give yourself this much needed break Virgo and if you do by your birthday you'll be running on full again and ready, willing and able to bring your best to the table. Enjoy!

Libra
Stone Drawn: Emerald - Emerald is a stone of love and romance and associated with the heart chakra.
Card drawn: Pyramid - Initiation
__________________________
People who don't know what's what tend to talk about initiation alot; that and the mysteries. Just to clear up any confusion, sacred initiation is a rite of entry/passage usually through some kind of ceremony and ALWAYS includes a transference of energy. This energy can come directly from Spirit or pass through another's hands into your body/being. Initiation changes your frequency (to every action there is a reaction) and brings it more in harmony with the divine within and around you.
You are being initiated into the mysteries of love this month dear Libra, the real deal, not the hallmark card kind. Whether this love is for another person, for yourself, for your work, or for life in general, you're going to get closer to what it means to really love.
Most people think that love is all sweetness and light and nothing could be further from the truth. Love bends and breaks and wears you down to a nub; love humbles, love hurts, love frees; love dies and is re-born. Love MUST grow and evolve or it stagnates and turns nasty.
The mysteries of love are not just about being in love and loving, but about stepping away from something that IS NOT love. Love does die between people, love for work and other 'things,' also dies, and if you have the courage to allow your heart to break in on itself with grief and sadness it will open ever wider and be able to receive and give even more love. There is a life, death, re-birth cycle to love; love is not static. Anything that is static is flatlined and if you watch enough medical shows on t.v you know that a flat line is death.
Love is vibrantly alive; it glows, it shimmers, it softens. Love is honest, love is truth, love has an alchemical effect on whatever it touches, for better or for worse, ergo the StarHawk chant, 'She changes everything She touches, and everything She touches changes. We are changers and everything we touch can change.' 'She,' of course is the Goddess; the Goddess loves beyond all reason and this love changes everything it comes into contact with; women are Goddess incarnate therefore they have the ability to change everything they touch.'
The greatest act of courage is love; to put yourself out there, to live true to love, of love, by love, and for love. You are Venus/Aphrodite ruled Libra. Once upon a time i invoked Aphrodite and when She came to me I was taken aback by how incredibly old She was and sad that the love She is and represents has been all but forgotten in the modern world. You are seeded with this love Libra, this month have the courage to let it grow.

**********************************
Scorpio
Stone drawn: Desert Rose - Desert rose is a stone of intellect. It is said to dissovle negative programming and stengthen affirmations.
Card drawn: Stag - Pride
______________________________
I am thinking about the book 'Brave New World,' where the babies and the children were programmed to be alpha's, betas, and delta's. As they were sleeping a tape played under their bed, 'I am happy to be an alpha/beta/delta. I am happy to be an alpha/beta/delta, over and over again.'
When we are small and unformed whatever we are told over and over, either verbally or through behavior, becomes the soil for our core belief systems about ourselves. If we grow up in a family that feels entitiled we're going to believe we're entitiled, if we grown up in a family that thinks they're less than we're going to believe we're less than. By the time we're 4 years old the soil and seeds for one's core belief system are in place and growing.
And then one day something happens that causes you to question your porgramming. It could be something you read, a man/woman you fall in love with, a social injustice. It could be you're tired of people not seeing the real you; it could be the pull towards a new spiritual path; it could be there has to be more to a relationship that the way a man looks sitting on your mother's couch. If could be recognizing that someone other than you is writing your life script.
This month is about getting under the programming that is stopping you from moving foward in your life dear Scorpio. This month is about getting under the programming that would interefere with you taking pride in your ability and gifts. This month is about getting under the programming that is stopping you from really knowing self and what makes you happy and gives you satisfaction.
My mother used to say (with a moan) to me, 'you think too much dear, why do you ask so many questions.' The sub-text of that statement was that there was something WRONG with me because I NEEDED to know how and why people, places, and things worked the way they worked. I was quite literally set up from the get go to believe that this all consuming desire of mine was a 'bad,' thing. I didn't trust appearances; I still don't, and the bane of my existence were what my mother called, 'darling girls.' Those were the pretty, ever PERKY girls who could blithefully skip through life without worrying about whether there were starving people in the world or not. They also knew how to make small talk, at which I was utterly useless. Perky girls made me feel fat, big, like a lug, a slug, not pretty enough, not good enough, just not enough.
To carry the core belief that you are not good enough reeks havoc on the self-esteem. Nothing you ever do will be good enough, nothing you ever accomplish will be enough, nothing you have will be enough, and it will be virtually close to impossible to take PRIDE in your accomplishments/gifts/talents and abilities. Pride is a way of honoring and respecting; I am proud of my writing, I am proud of the way I raised my son, I am proud of my son, I am proud of my ability to speak up, I am proud of my ability to survive in the face of impossible odds, I am proud of my ability to walk away from a no win situation; I am proud of my ability to feel as deeply as I do even if the feelings are so painful it makes me want to curl into a ball.
It took a lot of work for me to get here; a lot of self-analysis, therapy, reading, sobriety, and life experience but getting out from under negative programming, and the positive that is of no benefit, is the most freeing liberating thing you will ever do. Love self my dear Scorpio, love yourself without reason, love each and every part of you even the not pretty; that's the way to begin.

Sagittarius
Stone drawn: Girasol - Girasol is excellent for visualization and enhances communication skills including freely speaking the thoughts you've been holding back.
Card drawn: Black Cat - Independence
________________________________________
Nothing is more important to a Sag then they're independence and there's a small piece of them that feels secretly guilty about it. That's why the easiest way to manipulate/control a Sag is through guilt. Do that long enough and eventually that Sag will simply leave; there will be no drama, there will be no explanation, something just shuts down inside them and that's it. This is also true for people with Venus in Sagittarius.
This month though, Sag people are like a horse with a burr under the saddle; touchy, touchy, touchy, and they're speaking up because they want to be UNDERSTOOD. This is new for Sag, the desire to be seen and understood, and to fulfill this desire takes real courage because it means stepping out your comfort zone.
It's comfortable for Sag's to talk about the BIG subjects; not so comfortable to reel it in and talk about the personal for fear of being mis-understood and mis-interpreted. It's downright painful for a Sag to be misunderstood and they're never sure how to respond when someone clearly doesn't get what they're saying.
You're really good at seeing and understanding others, gifted even, and usually don't give a darn if it's returned but that's changing because of your NEW fascination with the DETAILS of the big picture. How does it work, how does it connect, where do you fit in? Why do you fit in, why don't you fit in, do you want to fit in? What details would you take out, what details would you add? You want someone who responds to you now, who hears what you're saying and has an opinion. Not just any opinion, but a reasoned opinion, an enlightening opinion. On some level you're breaking free this month Sag, and growing in ways you never imagined possible. Basically what's happening is you're re-defining independence and what it means to you.
Your power of visualization is strong this month, so use it. Write down what you would like less of and then imagine what it would feel like to have less of what you don't want in your life. Now imagine what it would feel like to have more of what you want in your life. Once you have the feeling going, begin to visualize what that would look like.
Stay open to messages from your dreams; day dreams and night dreams are all messages from Psyche this month dear Sag. Feel yourself opening to new possibility(ies). Think outside the box, refuse to accept 'pat' explanations about anything, and love yourself passionately:)

Capricorn
Stone drawn: Lepidochrosite - Lepidochrosite eliminates distraction and confusion helping one to choose integrity and higher love.
Card drawn: Full Moon - Magick
_____________________
Any confusion you've had over your needs, desires, and goals should pretty much dissolve this August dear Cappy so write down your most powerful desires, do a well placed spell, and expect results around your birthday. Make sure your intentions are clear and very, very specific and don't forget to invite Spirit in by finishing your spell with the words, 'this or something better.'
You may be facing a choice this month; a life changing kind of choice. Integrity is the name of the game here; there's a lot to be said about doing the right thing but doing the right thing for whom? Make a choice that is soul empowering, make a choice that frees you on a profound level. These kind of choices usually involve a surrender of some kind, not to another person or to an ideal, but to the situation. Once we admit we are powerless over a situation, we can find our power and can to take the actions for transformation and change. Consistency is the key word however, just like there must be consistency to magick to make it work, there must be consistency to change for it to take.
It's an exciting time Capricorn; you have the opportunity this month to become the final authority in your life, like Isis, who says, 'I am Isis, I give birth to myself, and I control the fates.' You are moving into a place where you accept complete responsibility for your physical health, your emotional well-being, and spiritual happiness. What this means is you will take whatever actions are necessary to make your life better. This is a tall order indeed but as long as you remember it's a moment at a time, a day at a time, and God is on your side (especially when we make a soul affirming choice(s) no matter how many feathers will get ruffled) you won't get so overwhelmed and end up in bed for a week. And even if you do get overwhelmed and end up in bed, use the time wisely and watch movies and eat popcorn.
I've heard repeatedly that the meek shall inherit the earth; my response to that is 'that's because they've sucked all the life out of the strong.' Watch for psychic vampires this month dear Capricorn, give people the tools to do what they need to do rather than doing it for them and step away from those who do not give as much as they take. Once a day, for 10 minutes a day, surround yourself with mirrored shields and enter the silence within; hear what your instinct and intuition has to say, hear what the Goddess within has to say.
It's your magick time dear Cappy, so design, create, and enjoy your ever evolving world:)

Aquarius
Stone drawn: Red Orange River Quartz - Red Orange River Quartz is good for self-acceptance and self-realization. It also helps you to accept your life path.
Card drawn: Bridge - Connect
____________________________
I remember being semi-hysterical when I realized at the age of 34 I was never going to be a rock and roll star. Not that I played an instrument, or for that matter had ever been in a band, it was fantasy, and I woke up one morning to the realization that it was never, never, never going to happen. My eyes were puffy and swollen by the time I got my son to playdate and when one of the mothers looked at me and asked me what was wrong I started crying all over again and wailed I'm never going to be a rock and roll star. 'I'm never going to be a prima ballerina,' she said from a stone still place within. Though that was over 20 years ago I've never forgotten it because she got exactly what I was saying. As much as I loved raising my son, as much as I loved being pregnant and giving birth, a huge part of my life was absolutely over. The girl I'd once been was no longer. I had hard responsibilities now as a direct result of my life path. LIfe path is not just about career, it's about 'LIFE.'
I am not a woman who embraced my life path easily, home, relationship, motherhood or career. I don't embrace change to my heaving bosom either but I usually end up going along because I have a frame of reference for what it's like to ultimately accept my changes. It may be terrifying and painful in the beginning but oh boy does it work out.
It's all about self-acceptance this month Aquarius. Self-acceptance is not easy simply because we're so programmed to believe that we're not enough and we 'need,' this, that, or the other to make us whole. The questions this month are, 'what does it feel like to know that you have everything you need inside you?' 'What does it feel like to know at this very moment that YOU'RE WHOLE AND COMPLETE?
if you can hold this question, dive into this question, dig into this question, with all the fervor the drowning have for a life preserver, you will find yourself connecting with yourself in a way that signals to your higher and deeper selves that you are ready to reconnect to the pieces of self that have been split off by life. All those little odd angled pieces some pretty, some not so pretty, some downright ugly, some boring, some confusing, etc., but ALL of these pieces are part and parcel of the mystery of You.
The mystery, which you hear so many people speaking about in hushed voices, is the fact that we are all connected so why the hush is beyond me. The mystical experience is our very real and tangible experience of this truth. The mystery of You is the truth that you are whole and complete unto yourself; your experience of your wholeness and completeness is a mystical experience. A mystical experience is sacred in nature and nothing is more transformative than the mystical experience.
A genuine connection with self is ever evolving and calls Spirit like a magnet calls metal filings. When we genuinely surrender to the moment, to who and what we are, when we give ourselves total and complete self-acceptance, we allow ourselves the possibility of true greatness. A greatness that is grounded and rooted an ever growing, ever evolving and filled-with-meaning connection to ourselves and the world and people around us. Trust me when I tell you this is better than any fantasy.

Have you ever noticed Pisces how many times you've made a decisions to let something go, gone through the actions of release, but it still doesn't go? I get a lot of clients who come to me, frustrated beyond belief that they can't let something go no matter what they do. They pray, they meditate, drink, take trips, take up marathon running, kick-boxing, drugs, movie watching, and nothing works. There's a reason for this; it's because what's bothering you isn't supposed to be released; it's supposed to be transformed. What that means is you the ingredients of whatever's bothering you is important for your evolution, but you need to re-mix, re-formulate them.
For instance fear of intimacy has its healthy qualities. Without that fear you just might be telling your deepest darkest secrets to the wrong people, people who are going to turn around and hurt you with your confidences. Anxiety is beneficial because if you take the time to trace its roots it will get you moving. Fear is about unclaimed power, grief clears away and depression is anger/rage turned inward. If you could just let go of all these feelings their reason for being, their pupose, would be lost. Every feeling has purpose, every feeling has frequency, and frequency is God programmed for harmony.
The purpose of life is to evolve Pisces; how we evolve is unique unto each person. Feelings are one of our tools of evolution; feelings are a gift from Psyche. They are the barometer, the sign post, pointing this way to your healing. So when something hits that hurts and it feels like the same old, same old and what exactly is the point of trying because it always comes back, think of the butterfly. Think of the funny looking little caterpillar it was and how it transformed into winged beauty. That is the metaphor for you and your life this month dear Pisces. Enjoy the healing.
