You Aries folk are what get us all going… ready to explore and move mountains… well for a little while at least… Even though you guys and gals are full of vim and vigor you aren’t really the kind to stick around to the see the completion of your pioneering projects thanks to your lack of patience… You can get bored easily and the next interesting thing/person that comes along can perk up your ears encouraging you to find out more…..You are fun to be around and many may wish they were more like you, but you can have your awkward moments when you forget about the feelings of others as Aries puts your own needs first…. Having a partner that understands this is important, but you need to slow down enough so that he/she can explain to you when you have done “wrong” … You are the beginning of the Zodiac and as such you are like the child who needs a constant gentle reminder to slow down…
Happy Birthday to: T.J., Maureen, Dennis, Dean, Leah, Steven and all who celebrate an Aries Birthday… Have a fabulous day guys and an awesome year ahead… :)
I hope you enjoyed part 1 of this 3-part series about ‘how to clear karma’. It’s a topic that has fascinated me since my awakening in 2003. I hope you find it insightful and useful on your path to self-development and personal growth. WHAT IS KARMA Karma is like a scale which we carry with us for a lifetime or many lifetimes. The scale can be as light as a feather or as heavy as a brick wall. The weight of the scale is affected by the quality of your thoughts and actions and this in turn creates karmic patterns in your life. The saying: what goes around comes around, applies to karma. HOW KARMA AFFECTS US Do you consider your life to be easy or simple? Are you living in the flow? Or do you see your life full of challenges, stagnation or disappointments? If the later description resonates with you, then I want you to remember this: you are influencing the karmic patterns in your life- both favorable and unfavorable patterns.
The good news: karma is not fixed or frozen – it’s mutable. Why? Because energy is mutable and the energy of your thoughts and actions can be changed – by you! KARMA CLEARING TIP #3
Making good choices When you were a toddler you put virtually everything in your mouth. As you grew older and wiser you realized some objects were digestible and some were not. You learned to make better choices. Now as an adult you may decide to stop smoking or eat better or focus on some other positive behaviour. These good choices you make help fuel your ability to create good karma. I remember working in an office where a few employees loved to gossip. They never had a kind word to say about anyone. One day one of the gossips came by my desk to spread her verbal poison. I stopped her with 3 simple gestures. I placed my hands over my ears, then over my eyes and finally over my mouth. Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. The coworker frowned and walked away from my desk. Mission accomplished! I made a conscious choice not to get involved in negative behaviour- which in turn fuels good karmic patterns in my life.
Be conscious of the choices you make – and try to make the most optimal choice when you can. KARMA CLEARING TIP #4
Forgiveness: lighten your heart, mind and soul Please repeat after me: There are no perfect parents, there are no perfect children and there is no perfect boss!
Are you holding onto emotional baggage such as past hurts, blame, resentments, anger or shame?
In some situations we simply cannot bring ourselves to forgive the other person, but in every situation we need to find the strength and courage to forgive ourselves. Why? Because if we do not forgive ourselves, then we create division within ourselves. That division or inner turmoil is a perfect breeding ground for negative self talk, self sabotage and other destructive karmic patterns. One of the most powerful ways to overcome this inner turmoil and negative emotions is by forgiving ourselves. Here is an excerpt of my first book ‘Raise your Vibration, Transform your Life’ entitled: The Vibration of Forgiveness
You lighten your heart by removing the heavy weight of the negative experiences(s).
You lighten your speech when you stop complaining or accusing others of being responsible for your experiences.
You lighten your emotions by releasing feelings of anger, frustration, spite and pain and make room for peace, joy and love.
You are free! Forgiveness frees the forgiver. You are no longer enslaved to the circumstances you once thought were controlled by someone else or external forces. You are free to live and to love.
Lastly, you gain strength by recognizing your ability to withstand any circumstance or experience—to learn from it—and move forward with your life.
Quote of the month: “When you focus on others you create karma, when you focus within you clear karma” ~Anonymous
Stay tuned for Part 3 – in April!
SGC admin: Are you ready to go on a refreshing retreat to Costa Rica… :) Check out our previous postand find out how you can! :) this October (2016) with Dawn James. Click Here to email Dawn directly… :)
Wow, it’s almost Spring… Yippee… St. Paddy’s day is just around the corner and before we now it, us folks in the northern hemisphere will be out playing in the dirt as we plant our gardens for 2016… :)
Spring is all about renewal, and we see all around us, the trees and flowers beginning to bloom as they too renew themselves… :) What better time then to begin a new project or launch a “new” product… :) So if you have hand made, made in Canada or the U.S. items you would like to showcase, please connect with us… we have two different payment plans, which we keep to a minimum, as we value the time and energy it takes for you to make your goodies and we know your bottom line is to make some money off of your passion and hard work…
In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… Each sign stays with the moon for up to 2.5 days…. :)
The Moon Void-of-Course:
There are times throughout the month when the moon isn’t fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void of Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void of Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-of-Course moon…
Good for Void-Of-Course Moon:
These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.
Cancer
Taurus
Sagittarius
Pisces…
Opportunity Periods (thanks to astrologer Jim Shawvan):
There are other periods throughout the month that are known as Opportunity Periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods. trologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods.
Void-of-Course: March 17 & 18 @ March 18 12:09 am (ET) March 17 @ 9:09 pm (PT) to March 18 @ 3:54 am (ET) 12:54 am (PT)
House(s): 10th: 10th house of career and public image
Opportunity Period: March 17 March 18: Good time for clear thinking… there is another OP directly on the 18th when the moon moves into Leo.
What does it all mean?
The moon is happy in the sign of Cancer because she rules here. Being sympathetic towards the worries of others is easier, we are more empathetic now.
We can be more nurturing when there is a cancer moon
Domestic chores and responsibilities may be easier to do now, in fact some of us may be very happy making our home comfortable and safe
Cooking may be fun to do now, so go ahead and try out that new recipe
The more emotionally sensitive of us, may take offense or feel slighted or more vulnerable during the Cancer moon… Caution is advised though, check your facts before you “accuse”.
Some of us may feel needy, while others of us are happy to be the cuddler, helping our loved ones feel secure and in deed needed. Caution is advised that some of us can go over board on the needy thing during this moon period, so be careful if you don’t want to “scare” someone off…
It’s a time for cuddles, caring, good food and just plain old lovings… :) Enjoy..
In the 10th house: Career interests and how we present ourselves to the outside world are on the agenda for the next couple of days… be sure you don’t neglect other sensitive area’s of your life in order to move ahead in your career/job.
This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
Moon in Cancer: (these folk may really feel the influence of the moon, emotions may be close to the surface)
