The Omer Count is finally here! I love these 7 weeks of transformation!!! These are some of the most important weeks of the year when it comes to creating major positive changes in our lives. 
These 7 weeks of transformation gives us an opportunity to release all negative energy from our reality. 

Kabbalah teaches us that during these 7 weeks (49 days) after Pesach (Passover), we must be aware and release all negative energy from every aspect of our lives. During the first night of the Seder your connection to the light of wisdom is free. But during the Omer is when you put in action to earn the light. During these 7 weeks of transformation we are not only releasing negative energy but we are cleansing our soul. The Omer begins the second night of Pesach and ends the night before Shavuot. You always begin the countdown after sunset. During these 7 weeks of spirituality we have the opportunity to break open klipot (negative shells) from within our core being and release the light that has been trapped by our own choices. 

The Omer is pretty much 49 days of spiritual testing during which we can earn and keep the light we received on Pesach. Each of the 7 weeks corresponds to one of the 7 lower Sefirot that make up the Tree of Life: Chesed (Mercy), Gevurah (Judgment), Tiferet (Beauty), Netzach (Victory), Hod (Majesty), Yesod (Foundation), and Malchut (Kingdom). 

These 7 Sefirot are the channels of energy through which the universe is physically manifested. One of the ways that Kabbalists understand these Sefirot is through the biblical patriarchs and matriarchs who are "chariots" by which these particular cosmic energies are "drawn down" from their potential state in the metaphysical realm to an active form in our physical universe. Each Sefirot is also connected to a chakra point. Each level represents a point in your body that can be healed and transformed each week of the 7 weeks of transformation.

So let's tap into the consciousness of week one which started this past Saturday, April 23rd, 2016 at nightfall. 

Week 1: Correcting The Sefira of Chesed
The energy of Chesed represents Mercy. Chesed is the most expansive of the Sefirot. It's basically pure positive energy. This energy is all about Mercy and kindness. The patriarch who draws down this energy is Abraham. 
Our goal for this week, until Saturday evening, is to be like Abraham and inject Mercy and kindness wherever possible into our dealings with others. Now is the perfect time to be kind to yourself, every single person and situation you encounter this week. This is the week to give until it hurts!  

The chakra that is connect to Chesed is the throat chakra. It is located by your throat so it represents communication and truth. 
If your throat chakra is blocked you will know because you will have issues opening up to people, being clear with communicating your feelings, can't connect to your thoughts, creativity and can't speak up. Physically it effects your thyroid, neck, ears, sinus, allergies, colds, etc. 
The color to meditate by your throat chakra is blue. This will help balance your throat chakra. Also speaking up and being honest with someone this week will break any blocks you are experiencing. Also avoiding evil speech and gossiping is important. Avoid entertaining it as well. Instead concentrate on your creative side this week and be clear on your desires for yourself and towards others. The planets the throat chakra connects to is Mercury and Uranus. It is also connect to the energy of the air sign (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius). 

This week is crucial you be kind, giving and speak your truth! Speak up for yourself this week. 
During this important week of Chesed you can break all the negative energy around your life by applying compassion towards everyone and yourself. Go out of your way to volunteer at a local soup kitchen and animal shelter.
Make sure to love yourself more and be grateful for every single person in your life. Let go of fear and trust in Divine Source.

Friday, April 22, 2016 at 1:24am EST enters a Full Moon in Scorpio. This moon is one of my favorites as it's the Pink Full Moon! It's the first Full Moon of Spring!!! Since the sun is in Taurus when the Full Moon enters, it will be an explosive next two weeks! Friday is also Earth Day. The day we give healing energy, love, light and respect to our Mother Earth. And Friday evening Passover begins! It's the night of the Seder. I will explain how energetically this portal is open to all of us.
We have 5 planets retrograde in the month of April: Jupiter (January 8th - May 9th) Saturn (March 26th - August 13th) Mars (April 17th - June 29th) Pluto (April 17th - September 26th) Mercury (April 28th - May 22nd)...YIKES! Mercury Retrograde is here again!!! 
The Sun is in Taurus until May 20th, Venus in Aries until April 29th, Mars in Sagittarius until May 27th, Mercury in Taurus until June 12th. 
As you can see anything and everything can happen!!! Buckle your seat belts!!! So let's get to itttt!!!!!

A Full Moon means the Sun and the Moon are in opposite zodiac signs. The Full Moon has a powerful mystical energetic feeling that you experience while under it's trance. The Full Moon represents female energy, a time for romance, fertilization and a high state of emotions. It is also responsible for illuminating light on what is hidden from you. Secrets and shadyness will be exposed under the mystical moon light. The Moon always protects you. 
This particular Full Moon is known as the Pink Moon, Rain Moon, Wind Moon, Full Sprouting Grass Moon, Egg Moon, Fish Moon and Paschal Moon. 

Since this is a Pink Full Moon, the first Full Moon of spring, and it falls on Passover, you must already know the powerful meaning behind all of it. If not, keep reading! This is an excellent time to work on potential relationships and end the ones that no longer work for you. The Full Moon is in Scorpio and any Scorpio will tell you it's all about the relationship with others. They always somehow are thinking about others. Whether they are obsessed with someone, being of service to someone, or worried about what others think, they are all about learning and knowing people. They are fearless in a lot of ways. They rather end things then let someone else end things for them. They have to be in total control of their destiny. Very controlling and secretive. They love mysteries, sex and are very complex. So you will be tapped in to this energy. Now since the sun is in Taurus, this will balance you out. Taurus are all about love, beauty, romance and healing. They are all about themselves! So the energy here is telling you to find a balance between taking care of yourself and helping others. Taurus is a positive sign connected to the light while Scorpio is a negative sign and doesn't fear the dark. You need positive and negative to create light. So use the energy of this Full Moon wisely! 

This Full Moon in Scorpio is bringing forth whatever your intentions were during the new moon in Scorpio back in October 2015. Pretty much brings everything full circle. Keep in mind this week and for the next few weeks it's all about you. Whatever seeds, desires, intentions you are planting during this week will start manifesting in May. Remember: April showers bring May flowers! This is a time to start looking inside your soul. Let go of the illusions of the things you want and ask your soul what it truly needs in order to evolve to a higher vibration. 
You are the only one that has the power of making the choice to change your situation and raise your frequency. 
Sometimes it's hurtful to deal with loss of personal belongings, people, jobs, relationships, fur babies, but it's all an illusion. You don't ever lose anything. You just keep evolving. The individuals, things, situations that move on it's because they or it completed it's purpose. You can't be selfish about that. Although it's hard at the moment, you have to keep on raising your vibration. This Full Moon brings you the option to transform yourself into the person you always wanted to be. You can manifest all your desires!!! But you have to make sure you have those desires. 
Passover begins on Friday, April 22nd at sundown, which is the night of the Seder, and it offers you the opportunity to connect with the light at a very high level as teacher Eliyahu Jian shared with his students. According to the Zohar there are two types of light in this world: the light of Mercy and the light of Wisdom. During the night of the Seder the light of wisdom is available to you. But you need a tool. The tool you need to use is the Matzah known as the poor man's bread. The consciousness to achieve here is to get to a place like a poor man. Why? Well, what does a poor man want? Everything that will keep him alive! A poor man has strong desires! You have to embrace this Friday evening with a lot of excitement but also have strong desires because the light will share everything with you. Everything you have ever dreamed of!!! Use the matzah as a tool to connect you to the light of wisdom, the love, joy, happiness, that you can receive for the whole year. Whatever you connect to that night is for the whole year! Be excited, be happy, have major desires, and when you hold that matzah Friday night, know that it represents all your dreams and desires for the whole year!!! 

This Full Moon also urges you to spend time alone. This is how you will be able to be honest with yourself and separate yourself from other people's ideas and desires. Ask yourself what do you truly desire. 
This is important. Because when you can sit still with yourself and be who you really are, you will be able to transform a piece of your story. You will be able to attract the situations and people that compliment your soul. Your real self. 
You will realize you don't need to change who you are to please someone else. The right people will love you just the way you are. Be honest in your desires for yourself and for others. Remember when we receive for the sake of sharing, we really receive infinite abundance in all ways. If you want love, then give unconditional love to yourself and to others! Give to others without any judgment, conditions or strings attached. Just love. And you will receive this love right back. For those of you that have been feeling a little wishy washy and confused. Remember that the light is always with you. Darkness and negativity is just an illusion. The light is NEVER gone! The light never ever disappears. Take responsibility in your life right now and know that you are where you are because you choose to be there. So now choose positive thoughts and know with certainty that you will arrive to your dream destination no matter what! You will always arrive there, it's just a matter of choice how you get there: with chaos or with mercy. 
Know that you have the power to change and create a wonderful life right now! 

Freaking out about the five planets in retrograde? Forget about it! What your astrologer tells you will only happen IF you don't transform yourself. But if you transform your consciousness with the right consciousness, you are able to shift your written chart and certain struggles. You are able to bypass higher than the zodiac signs! Allow the light to take over. When you are connected to the light, you are going beyond astrology. 
So say to yourself: "When I'm with the light I can bypass my reality. I want to change my destiny that is written in the stars." You do this by giving and sharing with others. Give to the light by allowing the light to take over your current situation. Give trust, faith and certainty to the light of God and yourself. You and the light got this! Have faith! BELIEVE! 

EARTH DAY RITUALS: 

1. Go meatless and dairy free for the entire day! Give Mother Earth the gift of not hurting her animals for at least a day. Honor her lands by going vegan for at least 24hrs. 

2. Spend time in nature. Shut down your computer, phones and go to a local park and sit in nature and honor her presence. Sit and meditate and just listen to the trees talk to you. Relax in nature with all four elements: Earth, Water, Wind and Fire. 

3. Gather your friends and go to your favorite park. Gather around in a circle around a big tree and give healing energy back to earth. Open that portal and let the energy from the cosmos draw down into earth and inside of you. We are all one after all. 

4. Find out about local Earth Day events in your town and attend them to learn about ways to be more eco-friendly.

5. Purchase products that are biodegradable, eco-friendly and cruelty free. 

Well there you have it my bunnies! A powerful transformational Pink Full Moon for the world to connect too! 
Remember to write down your intentions, desires, and eat that matzah using the right consciousness and fill it with major desires! Raise your vibration to a higher place. The time is now to let go of all that does not serve us and connect to the frequencies of this planet to shift it to a higher dimension. People, animals and this planet need love right now. We have to forget about negativity, lies, fights, egos, feelings, competitiveness, wanting to prove a point and learn to dig deep inside our soul and connect to the consciousness of love and oneness. We are all one. Be happy and grateful for what you do have right now, be grateful for the fact that you are breathing, be grateful for the fact that you are alive at a time where your light can offer peace and healing to someone else. Be the change you desire in this world. It's starts with you. You are powerful, you are strong, you are love, you are light. You are me and I am you! Thank you so much for taking time to read this. As you read this my heart will be filled with gratitude. We are one.
LOVE and LIGHT to you all my loveys!!!! Happy Pink Full Moon in Scorpio, Happy Passover and Happy Earth Day!!! YAY!!!! Kisses on the lips to each and every one of you!!!! Muahhhh!!! 

Namaste Witches!!!!

Thursday, April 7, 2016 at 7:24am EST enters a New Moon in Aries. This month is filled with lots of excitement for new beginnings! This month we also deal with the energy of a powerful Full Moon in Scorpio on the same day Passover begins. And helloooo the moment we all have been dreading for: Mercury Retrograde April 28 - May 22...Keep in mind the energy actually enters two weeks before April 28th so be aware that if miscommunication or electronic issues start rising upon you, this is why. Good Luck! And for those that are still having sleepless nights after The Walking Dead Season 6 Finale don't fret, these 6 months will fly by! Believe me we all want our favorite characters safe! Negan and Lucille we are coming for you! 
The Sun is in Aries until April 19th, Venus in Aries until April 29th, Mars in Sagittarius until May 27th, Mercury in Taurus until June 12th, Jupiter in Virgo until September 9th, Saturn in Sagittarius until December 20th, 2017 and Uranus in Aries until May 15th, 2018. 
This New Moon in Aries theme is all about new beginnings and building your foundation! Let's get to itttt!!!!!

A New Moon means the sun and moon are aligned in the same zodiac sign. This means that the energy is completely concentrated on that particular sign. New Moons represent new beginnings. The New Moon is a perfect time to plant your seeds for the future, there's a cosmic portal opened to bring down what you'd like to manifest. Write down your intentions, visualize them and place emotions behind them to attract and manifest your desires. 

ENERGY: 
This New Moon energy is all about the Ram, Aries. This sign is a fire sign. With it comes being impulsive, selfish, impatient, fearless, brave and being in love with love. This month be aware of these feelings when they arise so you can be still in the moment and avoid being reactive. Because this month is a very exciting month! All about new beginnings! 
For the past few weeks, a lot of you may have felt different, leaving situations and people behind, and things that bothered you before no longer have a negative effect on you. You may have been wanting to do more for yourself and create changes in your life. Most of you have already taken actions towards some of your goals last month and now will see the results. This is all because of the amazing universal Christ consciousness that was drawn down from the cosmos. What an amazing feeling to be certain you are on your way to new adventures in your life! You are becoming more positive. You are learning to let go and forgive those that have hurt you and most of all forgive yourself. A lot of lightworkers have recently experienced out of this world moments, items missing when you know you left the item in a specific place, falling down, extremely exhausted. This is all due to the different timelines you are jumping into. Lightworkers have been jumping into a higher dimension without even realizing it. Whenever you experience deja vu it's more like you just came back from a different timeline. 
This month concentrate in the knowing and awareness that you have the tools and skill sets to achieve your goals. There's nothing you can't accomplish this month. So let the negative things and people go in your life and concentrate on letting the universe know exactly what you want. The sign of Aries is connected to the Root Chakra. So this is about setting your foundation in order. Build yourself from the ground up. Connect with the feeling of being secured and safe. You need to make sure you ground yourself to Mother Earth this month. 

LOVE: 
Since Aries love to be in love, this is the perfect month to set intentions of what you desire in a partner. You should want someone who will lift you higher emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically! For my coupled peeps: Learn to be aware of when you are being selfish in a situation and let it go. Learn to give more than you already do. Come to terms with the fact that you are here to give love and receive awareness. For those that already give too much and never receive anything in return from your partner, it's time to speak up and state what you desire. If the person doesn't care to even try to work with you, then keep it moving! You should never settle. Some of you will have the tough task to sit and be honest with yourself in regards to your relationship. What are you truly getting out of the relationship? Is it really a relationship? Is there honest communication, growth, love, compassion, education and support being applied from both sides? If not, then take time to evaluate the situation and take notes on what you desire and go after it. Once again don't settle for less. Keep it moving! Your Twin Flame is out there! 
For my single peeps: This month get ready!!! Some of you will be applying whatever religious or spiritual factors you believe in and it will pay off. You will be visualizing, writing your intentions and out of nowhere you will be meeting people and making new friends. You might even meet them at your centre, church or even at AA. Just be open! Not all of you will be in a relationship right away, but if you put yourself out there with positive intentions, by end of May you will have met someone! For some of you the past will be returning, it will seem amazing at first all this chemistry and you will feel like OMG this person IS the one. BUT think clearly, because you are being warned to watch for the red flags. Keep on walking. Leave the past where it belongs, in the past. The past never has anything new to say honey! On to the new and improved you! And no matter what your status is, this month is all about flirting. Flirt with yourself if you have too! Flirt it up with your boo a bit more, rekindled that passionate flame that united you both to begin with. But flirt flirt flirt! Flirt with life!!! 

CAREER/FINANCES: 
This month is an excellent time to feel victory all the way home! Some of you have been waiting on some news from a new job, project, clients and by the end of this month you will have some answers. Others need to release the heavy work load and share some of that responsibilities with others. You are too busy being busy and mentally overworking yourself, you haven't even taken a moment to be proud of your accomplishments. Breathe and share the workload! 
If you own a business, get ready to entertain new ideas, add new products, new employees, and a new perspective.
Others that have been worried about their job, coworkers, or boss, no worries, you will have justice this month. All will be well. Also release from feeling you have to control everything. You are only where your light is needed. 
The energy of this month is all about new possibilities. Be open to new things.This is the answer as to why you've been feeling stuck. Set ground work on where you see yourself and your goals in the next year. This month is important to set ground work and connect to your life purpose. No need to be working a job you do not desire or even like. Do something you love to do so it never feels like work. It's your birth right to be walking in your life purpose. 
For some you have to learn to be grateful for your career. You are there for a reason. Your light is needed there. As a lightworker you are there to shine and heal others. Gratitude goes a long way! It's the key to receiving financial abundance, which you will definitely be receiving this month!!! 

There you have it my bunnies!!! A wonderful month ahead!!! Connect to your higher self for the answers that are within your subconscious. You have the power to heal yourself and turn around any situation you are in now. Have certainty in yourself, your higher source of understanding and enjoy life. Learn to fall in love with yourself every bit of you! 
Laugh, share what you know and be kind. Volunteer your time with others in need like animals, elderly and homeless people. They need love too! Never give up on something you desire. Eventually it will manifest. Just be crystal clear on your desires because they will manifest exactly how you set the intention. 
YAY!!! Have a fabulous month of April celebrating Aries the Ram and heal your root chakra!
