On Sunday, December 21, 2014 at 6:03pm EST the Sun will enter Capricorn and at that same time the Winter Solstice will occur. And then the New Moon in Capricorn will follow at 8:35pm EST. There will be 5 planets in Capricorn on this day: Sun, Moon, Pluto, Mercury and Venus. On top of that since December 12th until December 21st there has been a Gateway of Astral Transition opened leaving us to experience an Ascension process. Hanukkah also began on the evening of December 16th and will continue until the evening of the 24th leading us right into Christmas and straight onto Kwanzaa from December 26th thru January 1st! I mean can you believe this?! Between the Ascension energy causing awakenings and truth being exposed to miracles from Winter Solstice, Hanukkah and Christmas to having 5 planets going into Capricorn ready to rock our world, this is all leading to the simple fact that it's time for REBIRTH!!!!!!! 
New beginnings are clearly ahead whether we like it or not! So let's begin with this amazing break down of what's in store the next two weeks! It's time to dig deep in our souls, expose our garbage and manifest miracles!!! 

New Moon means something new is born, or the time to plant new seeds. It's a time where you want to act on pure instincts but keep in mind you may not have all the information revealed to you until the Full Moon. So that's why the New Moon is a risky time to start a new business or relationship because you are still not dealing with a full deck of cards. It is the perfect time however, to come up with new ideas, make new wishes and set your intentions. 
The New Moon is when the Moon and the Sun align in the same zodiac sign. 

Most of you probably felt strange starting in the past week beginning on December 12th all the way thru December 21st. And of course give and take a few days before and a few days after. 
The Gateway of Astral Transition is a portal available for you to download so much information that will allow your ascension period to occur beginning with a transformation in your life and some even experience some flares. 
Flares consist of your body and light body going through physical and/or emotional aches and pains that can bring up old issues or current issues that need to be dealt with. If you recently started your spiritual journey or still have issues you refuse to see or transform, you most likely experienced some flares this past week. For those that have been exposing and correcting their garbage, you most likely felt a blissful 5D experience! But keep in mind these flares are actually upgrading you and you are being downloaded with tons of insights and new information for your journey. Either way it's a positive thing!
This Gateway gives you an opportunity to create a shift in your life. Insights were probably already being downloaded for the past few weeks. Things that were unknown and unclear before are now being known and crystal clear. 
This is due to the parts in your brain that are actually being activated so you can evolve into what really is and not what we thought things were. You could have been stuck in a situation for years, but now you are able to see things in a whole new light.
A lot of the ascension symptoms include tingles and goosebumps throughout your body, vibrations being felt throughout your hands and legs or entire body. Some experience extreme headaches, loud ear ringing, memory loss, nausea, dizziness, extreme sensitivity, change in sleep patterns, or feeling different for reasons that you can't explain. 
And some simply experienced happiness, blissful state and manifestations. 
This is an exciting time because it means you are ascending into a higher state of consciousness, getting deeper into your spirituality and going into a higher frequency - like 3D straight to 5D!
This is an opportunity to create major transformation in your life. A time for you to dig deep and realize what you have to correct about yourself in order to truly ascend into your higher state of consciousness. Start getting in tuned and aligned with your light body. 

This New Moon is coming in at a perfect timing with all the energies that are available to you. The New Moon in Capricorn awakens your sense to have a rebirth in your life. A new beginning. This will awaken your ambitions, sense of restrictions and the need to have organization in your environment. 
This New Moon in Capricorn offers you the strength to recognize your responsibilities and the need to want to create change. This is the time to build a new life that includes being realistic and mature about what it is that your soul truly desires versus what your fantasy mind wants. You will feel the urge to want to use common sense, start preparing for the future and start being more disciplined about your goals and desires. 
It's important that you allow this energy to work through you and with you, instead of you refusing and not allowing nature to take its course, because then the Universe will have to pull the rug under your feet. And that's never pretty!
Capricorns can be a little bit too serious at times so remember no matter what you decide to do, always add love, compassion and joy to your life. 
The timing is so exciting for this New Moon in Capricorn for the simple fact that you are under the miracle energy of the Festival of Lights and Christmas. So use the energy available at your disposal to harvest and plant your best seeds! Meaning set your intentions for 2015 today!
 
The New Moon in Capricorn will also bring you hope and possibility, even if you were in Grinch mode and put off your holiday shopping, it will be easier to get "into the groove" (thanks Madonna) this week. You may even finally be in the holiday spirit around December 28th! Make sure you have all the information you need before embarking on a series of visits or travels. 
Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Aquarius: You're feeling generous towards others, but make sure your giving really is without expectation. 
Gemini, Virgo and Pisces: This is a creative period for you, but it's also a time when you will feel overburdened or guilty (in a vague way). Give yourself a break and don't feel you need to "fill in the blanks" if there are silent moments in conversation. 

As you can see my darlings, there is a lot going on leading to 2015! 
Remember to not place pressure on buying gifts but rather concentrate on the giving part of the holiday. Sometimes it's about giving your time, love and light by volunteering at a soup kitchen, homeless shelter or even donating money and time to a animal rescue that you know is struggling or any charity organization of your choice. 
So take this time to prepare yourself to mentally state what you want to accomplish in 2015 and start mapping out items for your vision board. I highly recommend to take time on New Year's Day to create a vision board with pictures and words of all the things you want to manifest in the year 2015. 
Today start off by writing down your intentions along with the date and time by hand. Make sure to write 10 wishes down within eight hours following the exact time of the New Moon. 
Trust yourself and the Universe to know that whatever you write down WILL manifest if it's for your highest good! 
Get ready to manifest all your dreams and desires this holiday season! 

Tammie thank you for helping me with the 5 planets and exact times for this article! You're the best astrologer and sister ever! 

Love, blessings and gratitude to you all! Happy Holidays!!! 

And remember:

Being the Spiritual Rebel that I am, this past weekend I attended the Holiday Holistic Expo & Bazaar at the New York Open Center. 
Saturday, December 13th from 7:00pm to 10:00pm I was in a whirlwind of pure energy! From psychics, mediums, QiGong, healing teas, vegan food, energy healers, crystals, organic products, you name it and I felt it! 
My sis Louise from France was overwhelmed by all the energy so she lost a bit of color and nearly fainted! Yikes!!! 
Or maybe it was all the energy from my "disagreement" with a lovely lady over vegan cat food! I can't! Too funny! 
Either way we had a blast and I even bumped into a few old friends I hadn't seen in awhile like Shayne Spencer who is an amazing web designer and Dafna who is a walking angel, who I met through my darling sister Daisy. 

I met this wonderful lady named Ritu who has this amazing healing product called Halo Systems. She explained that Halo Systems are the new paradigm in Photonics therapy treatment protocols. These are special devices that doctors use but now are available to the public. She explained that no other light therapy system remotely compares to the speed of performance and photon/botanical approach they have developed. 
I watched her prepare a demonstration she was going to do on me, and it was so interesting! You choose from all these different liquid vials that cater to whatever pain (mental or emotional) or vital infection you have and you place the liquid vial inside the Halo device and you light it under your tongue. Sounds weird, but it's so cool! Because I am an energy healer, I'm sensitive to any energy out there, so I definitely felt something. We did a quick demo, but now I am interested in trying it for a full session so I can tell you all about it! I plan to interview Ritu in the future so she can explain a bit more in detail how it all works. They have a long list of issues they work on and heal: Deep Muscle, Candida, Lyme Disease, Bipolar, Anxiety, HIV, Immune Boost, Weight Loss, Diabetes, Anger, Lupus, Anti-aging, Spider Veins and even Follicle Rejuvenation to name a few. I tried the brain cleanse & manifesting one. 
I can't wait to see if I truly manifest my wish! 
For a Halo session feel free to contact Ritu at: www.quantumenergyhealingnyc.com

The next person I met was Anthea Appel who specializes in Animal Naturopathy and Homeopathy. 
This conversation was a bit overwhelming for me and especially for Louise! I stopped by her booth because I was curious what she thought about cats being vegan but I had clearly missed her sign that read cats and dogs should be eating raw meat! Yikes! I asked the wrong person! However, being the Spiritual Rebel energy healer that I am, I had to push the envelope a bit. She gave me a list of reasons why we should be feeding our dogs and cats a raw meaty bone diet. Apparently it helps with weight control, less stinky stools and your pet becomes more affectionate.
Luckily for me, my fur kids are already way too friendly plus their stool doesn't stink! Yay! They are healer kitties, of course :) 
Anthea went on to tell me the dangers of dry food and how a cat's natural diet consist of rodents, rabbits (I don't think so!), insects and birds. My question is how about all the dogs that are vegan and lived to be 18-20yrs old. But she insisted they were lying to me. Although I agree, any cat food that is out there that is processed, isn't the best for any pet, but I do my best to buy only organic foods for Abbe and Ciccone. However, she also needs to remember that if meat for humans are toxic and full of horrible chemicals it will have the same horrifying effects on our beloved fur children. This is why I always surround my fur kids food with white light to remove any toxins from their food! The question still remains unsolved for me, is vegan cat food healthy at the end of the day? Since I am 100% vegan this is an issue I always struggle with when buying food for my kiddies. I am not a big fan of dry food, so I am still on my quest for finding someone who has a vegan elderly cat. This, of course, is a whole blog in itself and I can't wait to interview a few vets, Anthea and vegan cat and dog parents! Stay tuned for that blog and Youtube interview because I'm sure it will be over the top! 
If you want to ask Anthea questions feel free to at: www.catsndogsnaturally.com

Keisha's tag line "Holistic products with the soul in mind!" caught my attention, along with her amazing personality! 
I quickly tried her Lovely Lavendar Sugar Scrub and the Lovely Lavender Body Lotion, and I have to say it felt and smelled sooo yummy! I loved that most of her products are vegan! She has all sorts of fun skin care products like scrubs, soaps, lotions and even has a jewelry line that has all these cool stones and special energy. 
Keisha explained that her skin care products are made with natural and organic ingredients. She uses raw unrefined plant butters, oils, herbal infusions and extracts. She said they assist in moisturizing the skin and also have health benefits. 
Everything Keisha creates is handmade and crafted with love. Sounds good to me! 
Feel free to order any holiday gifts from her and make sure to ask which products are vegan!

Last but not least I met Naini Nakagawa who is the founder of the holistic network Matchmyspirit.com! 
She is the main reason we were all at the holistic expo. She likes to put together these wonderful expos all throughout Manhattan, Queens, Long Island & New Jersey on a monthly basis. She has a beautiful young son who attends the expos and gives such a warm presence to the event. Naini is so sweet and kind, you can see her making herself available to speak to everyone who approaches her. She gifted me the book Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda! She said it was the only book Steve Jobs had downloaded on his Ipad 2 when he passed away.
Her site is also a dating website for spiritual geeksters like myself! How cool is that?! I will have to interview her soon and get all the scoop!  
If you are interested in joining Naini's holistic network make sure to visit her site: www.matchmyspirit.com

Saturday, December 6th, 2014 at 7:27am EST a Full Moon enters Gemini while under the Sagittarius spell! 
Get ready for a wonderful month filled with miracles, emotional & spiritual transformation, and pure growth! 
You have an opportunity to release all that has not served you for your highest good in the past few days, weeks, months and even past few years! LET IT GO!!! Want to receive new miracles? Well, release old bad habits. Here's your chance! 
This month you will be tested to channel your inner hippie and just speak your mind with honesty but without being brutal. You might also feel the urge to travel or even get out of your daily routine that has kept you feeling stuck. Go out and mingle to some of the awesome holiday parties you will be invited too. Be adventurous!!! You will feel this month to be fun and stress free if you allow yourself to go with the flow! 

A Full Moon means the Sun and the Moon are in opposite zodiac signs. The Full Moon is a feminine energy that emits a lot of strength, courage and balance. However, it is also under this energy that you will feel a lot of emotional turmoil at times! The Full Moon is a powerful moon! It brings to completion that which you asked for under the new moon. 
Why it's also important to set your desires and intentions under the Full Moon. Within the 2 weeks leading up to the new moon you will experience growth, preparation and clarity in order to have a more crystal clear visual of your new intentions being planted under the new moon. 
Under a Full Moon it is a time for emotions, romance, relationships and fertilization. 

A lot going on this month so let's get right to it! 
For those in intense romantic relationships, Venus is in Sagittarius until December 10th then Venus will enter Capricorn until January 3rd, so most of you are already experiencing the shift from intense chaos to cheerful and optimistic encounters! Love is starting to take a whole new meaning! It will start transforming from obsessive, controlling, addicting behavior to a more universal unconditional love. If you allow for this to happen you and your sweetie will have a deeper connection you had no idea you both could create. But if you refuse to allow the universal flow to enter, then darlings, you will be known as the Bride of Chucky! Please don't be that person. 
For those that are single, the same rules apply. Concentrate on your inner growth and trust in yourself that the right person is just around the corner. Don't sweat over a person that is most likely not thinking about you, because if they were, nothing would be stopping the person from being with you. LET IT GO! Allow room for new and exciting love to enter your life. Under this miraculous Full Moon anything magical and mystical can happen. Put yourself out there by setting your intentions to attract exactly the type of romantic partner you desire and be sure to be crystal clear with those intentions. 

This Full Moon is about communication, attitude and sense of adventure. Emotions that have been building inside of you will erupt like a volcano if you do not express your feelings. Under this moon it's important to express your feelings to yourself and to others. Gemini and Sagittarius combination will be a mental axis. This means Gemini will represent your "lower thinking" and Sagittarius represents your "higher thinking". Gemini will push for logical thinking while Sag pushes for a more care free thinking and will want to expand ideas and meanings for life a deep further. While Gemini feels quite comfy in their environment, Sag will push you to go out and expand your horizons. 
Make sure NOT to neglect either feelings (end of axis) as it will then back fire on you. Balance is key!
This Full Moon is a promise of fulfillment of what was started on the November 22nd new moon. 
It's an emotional time, all about romance, relationships and fertilization. 
Being that this Full Moon brings major emotions, make sure to keep in mind that all these feelings brewing up and ready to explode, may not necessarily be a rational feeling. It may just be an illusion. Be careful not to be so reactive.
When you are in a high state of emotions you can say and do crazy things that later you regret. Do your best to not be so harsh on someone when expressing your feelings and speaking your truth.
Instead use your emotions to lead you into a deep shift of consciousness. This is the perfect time to transform your way of thinking at a universal level. 
This month you will feel the need to reach out to the world and connect with something larger than yourself. You will have more courage pushing you to expand your way of thinking. 

Keep in mind this month will be a lot calmer and stress free if you manage to just be honest and true to yourself and others. For the most part, you will feel things settle down thanks to a lot of planets moving into Capricorn, including the Sun, Mercury and Venus. But with Mars entering Aquarius, your taste in fantasy or quirky entertainment might go into another realm. 
This will be an excellent month for those who work in customer relations, computer programming, electricians and even trend spotters. 
Hanukkah (December 16th-December 24th), Winter Solstice (December 21st) and Christmas (December 24th) occur during the crescent Moon phase, so the waxing Moon will hopefully keep the stress and tension some of you feel during the holidays to a minimum. 

Saturday, December 6th Full Moon in Gemini is the Long Night Moon also known as the Cold Moon, this is the last Full Moon cycle of the year bringing in some of the coldest, darkest and longest nights alive. 
Themes during this Full Moon include details and drama, siblings or peer heart-to-hearts, and surprising partnerships.
December generally finds people in a mood to celebrate! 
Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces: You might feel accident-prone but allow yourself some merriment and enjoy the festivities!
Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn and Aquarius: Work on creating new partnerships or deepening the ones you have. 

There you have it my darlings! A great month ahead for us all! This Full Moon is all about having a total rebirth! 
Allow yourself to feel all the wonderful miracles that are waiting for you to just receive! Please write down your intentions and be crystal clear about your desires. Add a dose of certainty and just watch all your desires manifest before your eyes! This is the perfect month to truly fall in love with yourself, your loved ones and most of all the universal consciousness. Go out and do something for Mother Earth, animals, the elderly, the homeless, etc. 
Donate your time to a worthy cause. Spread and shine that bright light inside of you that is just waiting to explode! 
Like Biggie Smalls said, "Spread Love, it's the Brooklyn way"!!! 

Wishing everyone a very magical Full Moon and a miraculous month of December! Let the miracles begin!!! 

And remember:
