Thursday, January 12, 2017 at 6:34am/ET enters the Full Moon in Cancer. Just knowing that the Full Moon is in Cancer you should already know it's going to be an emotional week for a lot of people. It's a tricky Full Moon but as always, there is light in every situation. We will get into that in a minute. We can already feel people feeling a certain type of way since the beginning of the week. A lot of people were even emotional watching President Obama give his farewell speech. Over all it's a time of releasing the old and embracing the new and unknown. This is enough to make a lot of people lose their minds but I am all about staying connected to the light. So let's stay focused on our own journey and how we can make it a better year for us all! 
The Sun is in Capricorn until January 19th, Mars in Pisces until January 28th, Venus in Pisces until February 3rd, Mercury in Capricorn until February 7th, Jupiter in Libra until October 10th, Saturn in Sagittarius until December 20th, and Uranus in Aries until May 15th, 2018. Mercury Retrograde went direct on January 8th, but the retrograde shadow is still around until January 27th. 
Get ready to release all the dark energy and walk into the light this month!!! Let get to ittt!!!! Shall we?!

A Full Moon means the sun and the moon are in opposite zodiac signs. The Full Moon is a time of emotional healing, romance, relationships, fertilization and illuminating truth. Under the Full Moon trance is when you take action towards something you have visualized and desired. By doing such act under the Full Moon, you would be manifesting an idea into a reality, therefore, creating magic! Keep in mind that you must be compassionate with yourself and others during this time because the Full Moon can really bring out the best and worst in everyone. Very intense and emotional energy during a Full Moon. 

The Full Moon in Cancer is going to be a very emotional and senstive time for most of you. You will probably feel like everyone is judging you, or that your life is in shambles or you can't trust anyone. Others will have people telling you that you are too dramatic or too sensitive. It's not true. This Full Moon in Cancer is bringing in a fussy energy.
It's almost like half the people will be annoyed and anxious while others will be crying for no reason. For those that are feeling sensitive and emotional, your job this time is not to go searching for answers as to why you are crying, but instead allow the emotional process to occur. It's okay if you don't know why you are feeling this way. Right now there is a spiritual battle where your higher self wants to be unleashed and fly free while your lower vibrational self is connecting to fear. Your job is to allow yourself to cry and release because what you are doing is phyiscally, spiritually, emotionally and mentally releasing all the energy that needs to be released in order to experience new beginnings.
For a lot of you, this energy that is being released is not even from this life time. It's past lives karma that you are shedding and letting go. So allow yourself to ride this emotional wave for a day or two but after you will feel brand new. 

Whenever you feel you are about to manifest a huge change and shift in your life, some of you tend to panic and see this change as a bad experience because you feel you have been there before. You start telling yourself that you are stuck, depressed, and don't know where to go. You start thinking in a very limited way. "Well I can't move forward because I need to do this first and then this." No darling, it doesn't work that way. You have to understand that the reason you feel fear to move foward is because, your inner self freaks out remembering the experience you felt when you went through some tough challenges. So your heart is trying to avoid another heartbreak. But you must create a shift now where you understand that what you are feeling is an experience that you already went through in the past. Instead be an artist and a creative being by creating a new vision for yourself and only think of what you want to attract in your life. This way you are being the creator of your own journey by thinking of what you want. This is why you feel scared. It's not because you can't or shouldn't make the move or change, it's because you are connecting it to a past experience. Let it all go and surrender. Use this emotional Full Moon in Cancer to your advantage by allowing yourself to release all the emotions, so you make room inside your veseel, to receive manifestations!
Venus will be in Pisces in conjunction with Neptune on Thursday, January 12th so you have a very romantic opportunity to attract someone into your life if you are single. For those that are coupled do your best to do something romantic for your sweetie. Because this Full Moon in Cancer is needy and Mercury Retrograde's shadow is lurking, make sure to pick and choose your battles wisely in your relationships. Misunderstandings and arguments can breakout during the Full Moon in Cancer. Instead bite your lip and keep it moving if you want to stay in the relationship. 
For those that have been wanting to exit and run for the hills, this is your opportunity to run like the wind.
This Full Moon in Cancer will definitely make or break relationships. For some this will be a blessing!
So don't be so quick to yell at your daughter, son, cousin, mother, father, sister, nephew, or your sweetie because it could end up  pretty messy. 

For those that are single this is your huge opportunity to release all that is blocking you from your twin flame. 
This year you can actually manifest your one true love into your life if you do the work! Start by allowing yourself to release all that does not serve your higher purpose. If you feel like crying this week for no reason, it's okay! Cry! 
You are releasing all the energy that is no longer needed in your life. Then envision yourself with your twin flame. 
Send healing to your twin flame so your twin can feel the energy and uplift to a higher consciousness. Send yourself the same energy so together you are attracting each other. Create shifts in your life by cleaning out your room, office space, closet, paper work, or whatever you have that is not being used and you won't ever use, let it go! 
You need to make room to receive this year. Sometimes that means letting go of negative people around you. 
If you have friends that are crying for a new beginning and when presented with an opportunity they don't jump on it, (don't judge them because everyone has their own time) but perhaps these are the friends you don't need around you 24/7 right now. They are only holding you back. They are not taking responsibility for their actions. So move forward and think big. You can do it! 

It's so important that this month you take actions toward your dreams! This year is a powerful year to manifest all your dreams. Think BIG! The stars are all aligned for you now. So go for it! This Full Moon in Cancer is so emotional that it's important to allow yourself to release it all because you are releasing childhood energy and even energy from past lives. That's how deep and releasing this Full Moon in Cancer is! The New Moon at the end of the month will be magical so better to release it all now. Also keep in mind that Venus Retrograde is coming up on March 6th - April 15th and it won't be back to full force until May 18th. Venus rules love and beauty. Not a wise idea to get any plastic surgery, hair color or hair cut during that time. Not an excellent time to meet your twin flame either. If you need to make a move and start mingling with people, and attract your twin flame, now is the time to take action. Get your makeover and your sweetie now! if not you always have May for it. 

There you have it my bunnies! An emotional few days ahead. But all for the greater good of your soul. Let yourself be free from limited thinking, limited actions and fears. Give yourself the opportunity to build your vessel to receive all the things and people you desire into your life. Miracles are manifesting for you right now! Receive it!!! 
Remember when you change your consciousness you change your life. So start by helping others. Give selflessly to others in the street, your neighborhood, community, and in any way you can. Remember there are animals and people living on the street cold and hungry. Do your best to have compassion and give them a warm meal and a shelter.
if you can't assist in that way, then help others that can help them.
I am so grateful for all the love my new charitable organization Love City Angels has been receiving!!! Between donations, volunteer and adoption offers, this is a manifested miracle!!! Thank You!!!
I am working towards creating another organization for the homeless people and LGBT runaway teens. This is the year to truly give back to others! We can't give up on humanity or on Mother Earth. We are all here with a divine purpose, our mission is to awaken, heal, and love ourselves and others. Love consciousness should be your motivation! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!! Thank you so much!

Saturday, January 23, 2016 at 8:46pm EST enters a Full Moon in Leo. What a Full Moon this will be! Start your engines, as a lot of changes are up ahead for you all! For those in the East Coast of the United States, if you are reading this I hope you are bundled up, safe and warm indoors! Please bring in all your pets inside the house, animals can die in extreme weathers. Just because they have fur doesn't mean they don't get cold or even freeze to death. If you see someone's fur child outside please call 911 and report this immediately. Be a superhero! 
Until February 20th, you will be able to see 5 planets: Venus, Mars, Mercury, Saturn and Jupiter every morning right before dawn Eastern Time. From the end of January until the first week of February the planets will be at it's peak. How incredible is that? You will be able to cast your wish to the planets and make things happen for you! YAY! 
The Sun is in Aquarius until February 19th, Mercury in Capricorn until February 13th, Venus in Capricorn until February 16th, Mars in Scorpio until March 5th, Jupiter in Virgo until September 9th, Saturn in Sagittarius until December 20th, 2017 and Uranus in Aries until May 15th, 2018. 
Okay let's get right to it!!! 

 A Full Moon means that the Sun and Moon are in opposite zodiac signs. Full Moons are all about emotions. It's a female energy which represents a time of romance, fertilization and relationships. Whatever was started during a new moon will be fulfilled during the Full Moon of that same sign 6 months later. This is the perfect time to take action towards something you've desired and wanted. This is an excellent time to be creative. Your emotions will be at high speed so it's also a great time to write and read your intentions as you will see them manifest. 

There is so much going on with this Full Moon. Centuries ago this Full Moon was named The Cold Moon, The Hunger Moon and The Wolf Moon. As you can see all of those moon names go together rather lovely. This Cold Moon brings in a lot of snow for some people in different parts of the world. Especially in the East Coast of the US. The Hunger Moon is connected to increasing your desires for more in life. This will have you setting new goals.
The Wolf Moon will be bringing out the leader in you while connecting to your tribe. 
Mercury Retrograde is still lingering until January 25th when it goes direct but keep in mind it's still in it's shadow phase until February 14th. Just be careful not to react to anyone or buy any important electronics until then. 

This Full Moon is all about balancing your inner self and integrating with others. You will have to create balance between the energy of Leo and the energy of Aquarius. A lot of this will be about your relationships and romance. All which will lead to one theme: Truth. 
Leo will make you go deep inside yourself and find that strength you need in order to keep moving forward. You will have a desire to be leader of the pack in certain areas of your life. For this to happen, you will have to dig deep inside your soul and be honest with yourself. Where in your life are you not being truthful to yourself? What can you improve about yourself? What bad patterns do I let go? How do you release negative thinking? Some of you will feel like running away inside a cave somewhere far from the world. And that's okay! Spending alone time with yourself will help you find that breakthrough moment you need in order to be the powerful lion that you are! 
Aquarius will make you look around your inner circle and question your friends and romantic relationships. Aquarius is all about team work and finding ways to make the world go round. You will feel a need to question those around you. Who is really a ride or die friend? Do I need to make any changes within my circle of friends? Where can I improve my relationship skills so I can be more honest, loyal and compassionate? Is this the time to stand up for myself and not allow any more abuse from family, friends or loved one? This is where you will have to be extremely honest with yourself and others. This is an excellent time to come clean and be honest if you have lied to a friend or partner. Release it all so you can move forward and create new exciting situations in your life. 

A lot of truth will be revealed in the next couple of weeks. 
We are still under the energy of Transformation, giving you an opportunity to create massive changes in your life. Which is no coincidence this Full Moon supports just that. 
Some of you will experience a deep spiritual moment in which you will release certain fears and place an action towards something you have never done before. This will create more opportunities you have never experienced before. So be proud of yourself for making those excellent decisions. Even if it came with fear and you were afraid to make those steps, it's still creating a shif in removing blockages from your path. So get ready to receive. 
That's right! This Full Moon will allow you to create those changes in order to receive BIG in February! 
Big things are up ahead for you. Have certainty and patience. Avoid being disappointed if something you wanted didn't turn out how you expected because that just means there's something much better around the corner for you. All in divine timing. 

There you have it my darlings! An exciting strong Full Moon in front of us this weekend. Make sure to write down your intentions and desires as they will surely manifest! Remember to push yourself to create changes in the next few weeks. Even if they are painful you must do so. Because there are some exciting new adventures and people already in your energy field ready to walk right into your life. So be certain that all your dreams will come true. 
And as you receive make sure to always, and I mean always, share with others. Especially the homeless animals and people in the streets desiring a warm roof over their heads and a warm meal. 
To those living in winter wonderland weather like NYC, DC, Philly, MA, VT, Detroit, Chi-town etc, please think about donating a coat to a homeless person or building a warm small shelter for the cats or dogs to go inside and keep warm. Let's all pay it forward together! Sending warm hugs and kisses to you all! Thank you very much for supporting me and my spirit guides by reading this every month! My love for you is REAL! 

NOTE TO SELF:
If you are in NYC this Wednesday, January 27th at 7pm please stop by the Players Club by Gramercy Park for an incredible evening with other light workers, healers, psychics, artist, musicians, and metaphysical individuals like yourself. These meetings are monthly and we all leave with such healing energy afterwards. So come join us and bring a friend. The Players Club is an old mansion from the 1800s.

Saturday, January 9, 2016 at 8:30pm EST enters the New Moon in Aquarius. In western astrology it's considered the New Moon in Capricorn but cosmically it's already in Aquarius. Time is accelerating and we are tapping into a huge cosmic wave right now. 
Has anyone noticed that this week flew by? It's already January 9th in 2016!!! Hello! I am still wondering what happened to the month of December!?! It went by so quickly! 
Lots to discuss so let's get right to it! 
The sun is in Capricorn until January 20th, Venus is in Sagittarius until January 23rd, Mercury is in Capricorn until February 13th, Mars is in Scorpio until March 5th, Jupiter is in Virgo until September 9th, Saturn in Sagittarius until December 20th, 2017 and Uranus in Aries until May 15th, 2018. 

A New Moon means something new is born. It's the time to plant new seeds for the future. Your thoughts are powerful during a New Moon so it's important to think positive and visualize that which you want to manifest in the next 6 months. Take out your vision board and create one now! If you don't know what it is or how to make one here's a link which educates you about vision boards: How to Create a Vision Board

ENERGY:
This month there is a lot going on. You are dealing with Mercury Retrograde! 
It entered on January 5th and it's here to stay until January 25th, but you must wait until February 14th to truly have Mercury Retrograde out of your hair. Mercury rules communication so now that it's backwards, you must be aware that all communications with friends, roommates, loved ones, coworkers will be haywire. Do your best to not react during this time. Make sure not to travel anywhere new because you might experience delays, missed flights and even luggage drama. Avoid at all costs buying any electronics until after February 14th. Do your best. Avoid backing up all your important information as it could go missing! If you have a contract to sign, postpone until after February 14th or at least until January 25th. If you must sign a contract make sure you read it like 5 times! 
This is an excellent time to revisit an old project, friend, idea or anything that starts with RE: reconnect, revisit, rethink, review, reconsider and/or return. 

This month you are also experiencing a cosmic gateway opening, giving you a major opportunity for change in your life! Read all about the transformational 6 weeks ahead of you here: Transformational Month. 
It's important this month you realize that your feelings are deceiving. Truly concentrate on your positive thinking and how you can create a better life for yourself. This is the time to manifest all your desires. Truly find inspiration in yourself to dig deep and transform all your negative attributes into positive ones. Release any attachments to negative thinking, people, addictions or situations. You can set yourself free now! You can do it! 
Most of the time you don't realize you are being negative and you need to acknowledge it in order to make the transformation you need by using your own free will. 

Being that it's the New Moon in Aquarius, there will be a lighter energy being drawn in for you to deal with the Sun in Capricorn and Mercury Retrograde. Aquarians are unique. When you met an Aquarian you can't ignore them. You are automatically drawn to them. They are here to change the world through original thinking. This is why this month you will receive new ideas coming through to you. Aquarians are all about being rebels with a cause. They have a bigger purpose in life to help all of humanity. Because they are humanitarians they have a higher level of consciousness. 
This month you will have that same energy available to you. Take in all the new frequencies that will be coming in with the New Moon. Aquarians work well by themselves or with other people. For them it's all about team work. But they are perfectly okay standing on their own two feet alone. 
Aquarians represent abundance as well. They have a flow of manifesting energy. So use that energy this month to create and manifest new people, money and exciting adventures in your life. 

LOVE:
This month you will have a lighter energy around you, so you will be attracting new friends. People will be attracted to you this month so easily. If you are single, make sure to get out there and meet new people. Aquarians are all about friendships and flirting, so you should have no problem making new friends! Some of you may feel you want to stay at home at all day everyday, but this the Capricorn sun talking. So make the transformation and get out there! 
If you are in a relationship, this month you and your boo will be spending more time together and working on some fun projects, even if it means putting a cabinet together! 
Because it's Mercury Retrograde, some of you may be receiving calls, texts or emails from an old flame, lover or friend. If there is healing to be done, this an opportunity to forgive and move on. Be cautious about rushing into lovers land again. You may get hurt after Mercury goes direct. 

MONEY/CAREER: 
The New Moon in Aquarius brings abundance! Yes! That's right, money money money! So be opened to receiving new cash coming your way. This is a great month where you can shine at work as long as you avoid confrontation or take anything personal due to Mercury Retrograde. Avoid starting new projects but let the new ideas pour in and then take action after Mercury goes direct and give it two weeks later. But if you had an old project you didn't finish this is the perfect time to restart! This is a great month to manifest financial abundance in your life. So no worries on how your bills will get paid, they just will! Trust and have certainty about it! Make sure to put an action towards your goals so you can receive the miracles you so desire! With the Capricorn sun you will be able to complete all your tasks at hand.
You will also feel the need to do some charitable kind act with the New Moon in Aquarius, so make sure to donate your time and money to a cause that's dear to you. If you don't have one then go to your local animal shelter or your local rescue animal groups and help out! There are also some amazing churches and communities that feed the homeless and there is always the elderly in homes that need your love. 

I wish you all a wonderful New Moon in Aquarius and may you feel and connect to the light! Manifest all your desires! All while living in gratitude. YAY! 


NOTE TO SELF:
Wednesday, January 27, 2016 at 7:00pm I will be hosting an experiencer's meeting at the Player's Club.

As always I love sharing with you what I learn from Zohar class at the Kabbalah Centre in NYC. 
Being that it was the first class of the New Year 2016, I was so excited to hear the consciousness of the week from my teacher Eitan Yardeni. 

This week it's all about going from bondage to freedom! 
For the next 6 weeks this is a time for TRANSFORMATION. 
There is a cosmic window opened of opportunities available to you during the next 6 weeks. 

Here are some ways to awakened to realizing you have opportunities available to you. 
From bondage to freedom: 

1. When chaos reaches a certain level you are forced to change. 
Example: Doctor tells you the only way to help your condition is to change your diet. 
At this point you have to create change in order to survive. You are being forced. 
a) When you are in a situation where you have to no choice but to let go. Letting go is your only option.
b) When we are inspired we create change. That inspiration forces us to change. 

2. Free will 
When you actually make the decision to go to your darkness, you can truly have a chance to choose light over darkness. 

3. Before we get to redemption, you must go through negativity. 
Before you reach the next level, you will feel lost and feel dark. But that's a chance for free will and you are about to go through change. 

When you are going through your spiritual process after a while you will feel you don't feel it, it's not working. 
But you are feeling it! Before going to the next level you have to go through darkness in order to experience free will. 
You must have certainty and trust! You must have a knowing! 

During this period of 7 weeks you can't trust your feelings! **Feelings are deceiving**

What does knowing mean? Because someone told you?
Trust even if you don't feel it. When you have total certainty you have total freedom of negativity. 

There are two ways we feel during 24hrs: 
Unification during the day: when you feel the rewards of your positive actions
Unification of the night: you don't feel connected. 

But you must trust and have certainty! You have to transform yourself from bondage to freedom. 
Here's how: 

1. Slavery to Satan. Illusionary freedom. " I do what I want."
What does this mean? Being a slave to addiction, to the ego, to negativity. 

2. Knowing that it is a source of chaos in my life. 
This means being aware you are the slave. 

3. Letting go of attachments of the ego. 
Redeem yourself from the negativity. This means you are no longer attached to being the victim or to addictions. 

4. Commitments with the Light. 
Real freedom comes when you are servant of the light. Connecting to knowing you have responsibility in this world. What is your responsibility with the light? Your daily commitment with the light. 

Freedom comes with commitment. See the commitment with love and good intentions not because you feel you have to do it.  
This applies to us in all sorts of ways to our daily life. For example, how can you have the body you desire if you don't add commitment to eating healthy and exercising? How can you win a basketball game if you don't commit to practicing everyday? If you commit to doing a daily action towards something, you will see yourself achieving your goal and receiving so much light! 

The light is your boss. 
Embracing my commitment connects me to my freedom! 

It's not about sharing and donating when you want or feel happy. It's part of your commitment with the light. 
You are here for a reason, to complete a mission! 

Commitment is attachment. Choose the right attachment! 

Think of one thing you will commit yourself too in 2016. Write it down and apply commitment to it everyday :) 

Wishing everyone a fabulous 6 weeks of true transformation! Break yourself free! 

Namaste Witches!!!

In the middle of January I had such a strong pull to start something new. No coincidence since it was near the New Moon in Aquarius. So I decided to team up with Louise and give Bikram Yoga a try. My darling Starseed family I can't even begin to tell you what my first week was like, especially the first day!
If you are unfamiliar with Bikram Yoga, let me give you a quick explanation. 

It all started with Bikram Choudhury who is the founder of the Bikram Yoga system and the Yoga College of India. 
Bikram began practicing yoga at the age of four. He practiced 4-6 hours every day. At age thirteen he won the National India Yoga Championship. 
He later created Bikram Yoga. A system of yoga where he used 26 postures from the traditional Hatha Yoga and revised it in a certain order. All Bikram Yoga classes consist of 26 postures in a heated room of 104°F (40°C) with a humidity of 40% for 90 minutes.  
Bikram Choudhury has at least 1,650 yoga studios around the world. 

Years ago I attended a week worth of Bikram Yoga classes at the Bikram Yoga NYC studio on 72nd Street on Broadway. I remember being sooo excited about it and feeling so great after each class.
However, years later of course you forget certain things, like how hot it is inside that room!!!
So when I suggested to Louise that we start Bikram Yoga, she was delighted especially because this was completely new to her.
We signed up for the 30 Day Challenge on the Upper East Side on 83rd Street; and then my life changed! 

When you first walk into the Bikram Yoga NYC studio, you quickly take off your shoes and sign in at the front desk and then head over to the dressing room where you change and leave your belongings in the locker room. 

I was sooo excited my first day, I couldn't even handle it! However when you walk into the room you feel the heat so strongly but since I love the heat this was great for me especially with the crazy brutal winter in NYC. 
I placed my mat and towel on the floor and class began. After a while I was ready to pass out but realized this wasn't too bad since class was ending! Ummm correction! When I checked the clock, we were only 20 minutes in!!!!!! I almost cried my eyes out! I couldn't believe we still had 70 minutes more to go!!! WHY WHY WHY did I sign up for this??? I quickly started thinking how I was going to cancel my membership ASAP and that would be the end of it. I mean this was insane! 20 mins and I felt a whole hour had already passed by! GRRRR! 

But once we got to the Shavasana pose I was in heaven. You are basically laying on the floor looking dead. My favorite part on my first day! 
After we left the studio I realized it wasn't sooo bad after all. The bliss feeling I felt was incredible! 
90 minutes all to myself where I love and honor my body. What a feeling that was! All your problems, emotions or whatever challenge you have stays outside the room. Amazing feeling :)

On my second day I met a great teacher, Regina, who was so encouraging and just what I needed to keep me going and inspired in the teachings of Bikram Yoga! 

By the fifth day I had already fell in love with certain poses and felt my body reaching a new point. 
I was thinking clearer and was just in a state of bliss! 

If you are thinking of taking a Bikram Yoga class in your town I highly recommend it. 

And here are a few tips I picked up my first week: 

• Always bring a 20oz bottle of water inside the class.
• You can add electrolytes to your water. Because you sweat so much in class you are losing electrically charged alkaline minerals, such as Sodium, Potassium, Calcium and Magnesium. If you are feeling dizzy, nauseous and even numbness in your body this is a sign you are low in sodium. 
• Adding fresh organic lemons to your water also helps keep you hydrated. 
• Organic coconut water is also ideal to add electrolytes to your body.
• Change your diet to where you add more foods with Potassium and Magnesium: Beans, Sweet Potato, Banana, Tomato, Spinach, Beets, Peanut Butter, Chickpeas, Broccoli, Swiss Chard, Beet Greens, Pumpkin Seeds, Almonds, Cashews, Avocado, Quinoa and any leafy green vegetable. 
• You can also purchase a vegan Calcium, Magnesium & Zinc Supplement and make sure the intake is at least 400mg a day in Magnesium. That's what your body needs in order to stay hydrated during Bikram Yoga class. Trader Joe's sells a all-in-one vegan Magnesium supplement that also has Zinc and Calcium. 
• Always stare at the mirror and keep your focus on yourself during class. Focus is key to really pushing your self past your comfort zone.

By day 7 I felt like a pro and could feel my body completely different. I felt different over all! What a great feeling that is!!! I encourage everyone to take a step towards a healthier lifestyle and truly honor yourself by loving yourself. 
We have four bodies that make us who we are: Emotional, Spiritual, Mental and Physical. 
Just like with energy healing, with Bikram Yoga you truly use all four bodies! 
Namaste ~

Tuesday, January 20th, 2015 at 8:14am EST enters the New Moon SuperMoon in Aquarius at 0 degrees my darlings! 
Now that we have entered with the Sun in Aquarius we will continue to have Venus in Aquarius until January 27th, Mars in Pisces until February 19th, Mercury in Aquarius until March 12th. However, from January 21st - February 11th we will be in Mercury Retrograde. I know, run for the hills!!! I will explain more in detail about Mercury Retrograde for those of you that are not familiar with this term. Saturn is still transiting in Sagittarius until June 14, 2015 and will return from September 17, 2015 until December 20, 2017. Jupiter is still in Leo until August 11, 2015 and Uranus has been in Aries since March 11, 2011. 
A lot has happened since the Full Moon on January 4th. Oh boy! I am sure some of you felt like 2015 started on a rocky note but that's only because life is going to get a whole lot sweeter for all of us!!! 
Most of you went through some eye opening experiences to say the least! A lot of truth being revealed that perhaps might have been painful for some. And that's okay, because new beginnings start NOW! 
The rest of you probably started the year feeling great and manifesting quite a few things and that's fabulous, because it's only going to continue. No matter how 2015 started, it's only going to get BETTER! This is a year of manifestation and money! So let's get this party started!!! 

A New Moon is when the Moon and Sun are aligned in the same zodiac sign. A New Moon means something new is born. It's the time to plant new seeds for the future. Your thoughts are powerful during a New Moon so it's important to think positive and visualize that which you want to manifest in the next 6 months. 
This New Moon comes super charged because it's a SuperMoon as well. A SuperMoon is when the moon is at its closest point to Earth. The Earth, Moon and Sun are all in a line with the Moon in its nearest approach to Earth! 
It is also said that a SuperMoon can create a bit of chaos in the world from wildfires, storms, major floods to even earthquakes and volcanos going haywire. This is the first of six SuperMoons this year. 
SuperMoons are also huge for amplifying the intensity of the moon it falls under. In this case since the SuperMoon falls on a New Moon in Aquarius, get ready to write those intentions and think BIG, because believe me, it will manifest for you!!! 

Mercury Retrograde begins Wednesday, January 21, 2015 - Wednesday, February 11, 2015. 
This happens about 3-4 times a year. Planet Mercury rules communication. So when planet Mercury slows down and goes backwards our lives goes into a big clusterfunk. When Mercury goes retrograde we experience nothing but miscommunication. All communication with friends, loved ones and coworkers goes haywire. You will notice where you start having communication problems or arguments with people for no reason. And that includes all technology as well. Your iPhone or galaxy will freeze, missing texts, or emails not working. So it's truly important not to purchase any new electronics during this time, as you will most likely have issues with it within 6 months. It's also highly recommended not to fly to a new destination. If you have to travel and it's to a place you have been to before, than that's okay. Mercury Retrograde is all about going back and tying up loose ends. So if there is a project you started a while back but never finished it, you will have Mercury now supporting you to finish. If there is a relationship or friendship that ended intensely and you would like to heal the situation and both go your separate ways, this is the perfect time to do so. It is always advised not to sign any paper work or contracts or start new partnerships during this time because once Mercury goes direct there will be some serious revising to be done. 
Keep in mind Mercury Retrograde effects begins a few weeks before and after. So look back in the past week where there might have been misunderstandings or electronic issues. And even after it goes direct on Feb.11th be aware that you will not be out of the zone entirely until 2 weeks later.  

This New Moon SuperMoon in Aquarius occurs at 0 degrees which is amazing because any time a New Moon enters at 0 degrees it's basically like hitting a reset button. You now have a clear chance to reset and restart your life from scratch! You now have the power to start with a clean slate. Take this time to sit with yourself in silence and rethink and reconnect to your core values. Connect with who you truly are as an individual and let this inner self shine like a light in a dark room. Start your life over. This is the perfect time to let go of anything or anyone who has been keeping you stuck. Perfect time to end a bad habit, bad friend or bad boyfriend/girlfriend. Start fresh! Start a new lifestyle, a new career, a new way of thinking! The time is NOW! 

Aquarians are all about friendships, sister/brotherhood, they are risk takers, love group activities, group projects, social settings, trying new things, all about being a humanitarian and learning new ways to improve themselves emotionally, spiritually, physically and mentally. So what does this mean for you? Since this New Moon is all about the energy of Aquarius, all these different areas of your life will begin to arise within your subconscious and cause you to want to tap into all new things and create a conscious change. 
This is the time in which you should dig deep within your soul and be honest with yourself. Let yourself go and begin to think outside the box. You will probably feel like trying new things, explore different ways of thinking and begin to solve your problems in a different manner. This is all because you are tapped into the energy of Aquarius!
You will probably start feeling the urge to go out more with your friends and loved ones and be the social queen or king. 
Aquarians are not about the drama or emotional outbursts, so ladies make sure to keep your inner Bride of Chucky on lock down, and men keep your inner Norman Bates completely locked away and throw that key away! 

This is the perfect time to zip the lip in all areas of your life and listen to your friends, coworkers and loved ones. Listen as in go deep into understanding who they are as a person. This is not about listening and doing what they want you to do, as you will be in total rebellious mode but instead see this as an opportunity to truly get to know who you have around you. Sometimes life passes you by so quickly, you end up creating and attracting the wrong people around you who may not have your best interest at heart and that's always painful to discover when it's a bit too late. So instead pay attention and listen to people. Find a new way to understand how humans operate on a soul level so you can create change in your life. This is the time to go out of your way to give a helping hand to someone. Is there a charity organization you have been wanting to be a part of? Or perhaps you can take time from being on social media and go help out at a soup kitchen or at an animal shelter. Lots of people and animals need your love right now. 
This is the perfect time to disconnect yourself from being hypnotized to doing the same routine over and over again. Take time to call someone instead of texting, write and mail a real letter instead of an email, attend a social gathering and make new friends and possibly score a date instead of Tinder and Grinder. It's time to start something NEW. 
Let the Rebel Heart in you rise and be adventurous! Try that new vegan restaurant you wanted to try. Get out there and get to know your community. During this New Moon it is important for you to truly connect on a human level with people, to show people that love does still exist instead of technology overriding your everyday life. 
Some of you will find that this month you will begin to want different things. Single peeps wanting a relationship will start to like individuals that aren't normally their type at all. So go for it! Let this new urge for wanting new things take over your mind and body and allow it to create change in your life. Push yourself harder to get yourself out of your comfort zone. The only way you will shift the energy around you and receive something you've wanted. 
This is the time to remain positive, hopeful, optimistic and plan your future in a BIG way! 

The Asteroid Circe is also transiting and she is also known as a powerful and enchanting witch. The Asteroid Circe which was discovered in 1855 is named after this wonderful goddess. She is known as Asteroid number 34. 
This beautiful witch and goddess was known for bewitching men. She was all about the spells and potions.
So in her honor I have enclosed a few spells for you to do for this New Moon SuperMoon in Aquarius. 

If you are looking to bring in something/someone into your life: 

• Begin by spending a few minutes everyday visualizing that which you want to bring in to your life. Daydream about it. Feel like it is already happening. Feel the emotions. See yourself with this person having a great time and being happy. See yourself having that item that you want and feeling the joy as if you already have it. Doing this everyday for a few minutes will let your subconscious know that this is what brings you happiness, therefore actually manifesting it into your life. 

• Try the cord spell I posted a while back: Witchy Success Spell

If you are looking to let go of something/someone in your life: 

• Write on paper what you want to let go and why. Make sure to write down everything you are letting go. Feel the emotions in your writing, feel all that you no longer desire leaving your body into the piece of paper you are writing on. Feel your body already feeling lighter because it's leaving your system. Then set the piece of paper on FIRE! Watch it while it burns. Feel it all leaving along with the piece of paper, fire and smoke. 
• Speak out loud everything you no longer want in your life and say it in front of an opened window. Feel it all leave out the window. It is now gone. 

In closing remember that this New Moon SuperMoon in Aquarius is all about making room for innovation. So make time and room in your home to invite your energy healer, astrologer, psychic, spiritual friends of yours over for dinner who may just have a message for you that's not understandable to you right away but will turn out to be absolutely right on the money and correct. 
Aquarians: You are always one step ahead of others, but make sure to actually sit still during this New Moon because you will be able to see what needs improvement in your life and what is actually working for you. 
Leos: You may feel embarrassed and humiliated about something personal that was brought to light in front of others. But you won't feel embarrassed for long as this attention you are now receiving will bring in a larger group of friends that are more empathetic towards you. 
Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Pisces: If you are feeling like you are running on empty or running out of ideas, it's time to start looking at your priorities and making a list of what works and what should change. 

I hope I was able to get across the importance of this New Moon SuperMoon in Aquarius. It's important for you to set your intentions today and think BIG because this is a completely new beginning for you. You can now click that reset button and start fresh! Start something you have been wanting to do like a workout routine. Make time for yourself! 
I just started a Bikram Yoga 30 Day Challenge! Break yourself! Go ahead and cook that vegan recipe you have been wanting to try. If you need help don't be afraid to ask your friends. Also take time to go out of your way to help someone in need. Go that extra mile this moon cycle! 

I will be posting the Vision Board blog on Wednesday so come back and check in for some wonderful tips on how to create your best Vision Board in 2015! 
I decided to take one day of the month to pick a lucky winner from all the emails I receive asking for advice and post on the blog so if someone is going thru a similar situation they can connect to it. I will be giving a free card reading to this individual! So keep the emailings coming to info@girlievegan.com. 
I also started writing some fun and informative blogs for you all with some exciting topics! Stay tuned! 

Wishing you all a great New Moon SuperMoon in Aquarius and a great rest of the month! 
Life is like a box of vegan chocolate, you never know whatcha gonna get!!! So stay present and set those intentions!!!

And remember: 
GirlieVegans Do It Better!!!

Happy New Year my darlings!!! 2015 is finally here!!! YAY!!! It's January and the beginning of a new calendar year! New beginnings are all around us. This is the time when we feel renewed and ready for a new chapter in our lives. 
I must say 2014 wasn't a bad year for me. It was a time for growth in all areas of my life: emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically. It was the year I set the tone for what's in store for me in the upcoming years. I started to build my foundation of life. Of course we can always change and rewrite our script but for now I feel it's the right fit for me, for right now! I realized what I needed versus what I thought I wanted in life. I took a good look at myself, my environment, people around me and stood up for myself and created change in all areas. 2015 I will continue to do the same. Expect now my mind is fully focused on what I truly desire. I am so excited about 2015 because it's the year I know true manifestation will occur for all of us! 
Most of you reading this probably felt the same. A lot of changes in 2014 and some of you realized what and where your garbage truly lies and cleaned out your closet, others still need that extra realization but that's okay, 2015 will take care of that in order for you to grow. Others ended toxic relationships, friendships, situations and are now excited about their new beginning! So congrats to all of you who took a stand for yourself and created change in your life! Bravo!!! 
2015 is now here so let's get your new life started! Shall we?!?! 

Later today, Sunday, January 4, 2015 at 11:53pm EST it will be a Full Moon in Cancer under Capricorn. 
This Full Moon happens to also fall on fixed star Sirius! How exciting! Sirius is the brightest star system in the Earth's night sky. It is also known to be one of the home bases for some of the mystical and healing Starseeds and Hybrids living on Earth today. That's where I am from ;) You can find out more about whether or not Sirius exist from the Sirius Disclosure project from Dr. Steven Greer at www.siriusdisclosure.com. The movie was interesting to say the least! 
The Full Moon in Cancer also happens to be a Grand Cross Full Moon which basically means the planets fall in all cardinal signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. So they will either be squared to each other or be opposing each other. This Full Moon is also in the Uranus-Pluto square and the Moon's Nodes. 

A Full Moon means the Sun and Moon are in opposite zodiac signs. The Full Moon contains a feminine, powerful and mystical energy. This is a great time to start a new romance, fertilization or any type of relationships. This is the perfect time to start a new beginning because all the answers you wanted from the new moon are exposed and revealed during the Full Moon. This is the time to act on something you have visualized and desired! This is the time to set your desires and intentions because within the weeks leading up to the new moon you will have clarity on a more crystal clear vision of your new desires being planted under the new moon energy. Emotions run high during a Full Moon so do your best to stay grounded! This is an excellent time to see an energy healer and get your chakras aligned and balanced! 

Numerologist Michelle Buchanan made it clear that 2015 is the year of number 8! It's an 8 Universal Year because it's the total number when you add 2015 together: 2+0+1+5=8. The number 8 is all about MONEY and MANIFESTATION! What a year this will be! 
This is definitely the year where you have the most potential to make money and manifest all your desires. Begin with changing your thought patterns to a positive one! Start 2015 on a clean slate. Imagine you have a empty white canvas and now you have the power to draw the life you want. That's the energy that is out there right now. 
This month you will feel the need to start over and actually complete it. Some of you are used to making resolutions every year on January 1st and by the second week in, you are over it. But I think we can all agree that this January 1st, it felt quite different. And that's because it is! It's the year you will create change in your life for the better! You will own up to your responsibilities and see the growth in yourself and your surroundings. You will feel a sudden need or desire to connect with your family and with yourself at a deeper level. Most of you will want to finally settle down and start a family. Some of you might even have something exposed or experience an "Aha!" moment in your life that will cause you to want to start paying attention to the areas or people in your life that you have been neglecting or putting to the side. If you are feeling tension between the circumstances of your life and unfulfilled emotional desires crashing up against your commitments and responsibilities, that is only because it's what the Full Moon in Cancer is revealing for you to take note and action on.
 
Cancer is a pretty emotional and caring sign but according to Kabbalah it's also the month where the disease Cancer was created. So be aware of any type of anger or high end emotions that can occur during the Full Moon in Cancer cycle as you don't want to plant a seed for suppressed feelings. If you feel a certain way, express yourself but make sure you do so in a mature way, not in a reactive psycho "this girl is crazyyy" kind of way!
Most of you will also feel the need to begin a new healthy lifestyle: Vegan lifestyle, quit drinking, quit drugs, quit gambling, etc. Remember you are what you eat, so under this Full Moon in Cancer you may want to keep yourself in a healthy lifestyle!  
Take the first two weeks of January to reflect within yourself to expose the areas of your life that need true change and growth. Take time to write your intentions for this new year. It's extremely important to think BIG when writing your intentions under this Full Moon because it's under the 8 Universal Year which means it will manifest for you. So don't go for second best baby, put your intentions to the test (I know, I know I love Madonna!)! 

Back in the day, this is the time of year when farmers would check and see if they had enough food for getting their livestock and family through the season. But now this is the time of year when you can reflect and get clarity on your responsibilities, especially for the Capricorn peeps. With the Full Moon in Cancer under Capricorn, you may feel relationships or work are at a turning point. Keep in mind this could be a great thing if you get crystal clear on what your responsibilities are. 
Cancer peeps: Build something new as this is your Full Moon! A time of heightened skills and sensitivities. Your family, friends or co-workers may seek you out for some advice. They are not trying to drain you, so make sure you make time for them that is best for you. 
Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sag, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces peeps: Take it easy! Remember feelings are just that: feelings! Your thoughts have more power so switch'em up and keep them positive! 
Restrict, Restrict, Restrict!!! 

Take time this week to work on your Vision Board! If you have never done one before, then great, because I will be posting a blog on how to create a vision board in the next day or two! So stay tuned! For those that have made one in the past, still tune in as you may pick up a tip or two! 
Moving forward I will be writing more blogs on great topics both under the GirlieVegan section and Spiritual Rebel section. I am working on a few surprises for you as well so we can connect on all levels! 

I can't express how excited I am for 2015!!! It's going to be a great year! So let's all join in by connecting to our subconscious and being aware of the fact that whatever we tell our conscious mind we desire, our subconscious along with Divine Source Energy will bring it forth in our lives! It's time for true manifestation! 
State your Intentions, Believe and Receive!!! The game of life baby!

Happy 2015 and Happy Full Moon in Cancer my darlings!!!  Let's make it a Ride or Die type of year!!! 

And remember: 
GirlieVegans Do It Better!!!
