  • Reason #1. The year 2014 is going to be awesome! 

How could we possibly know that 2014 is going to be awesome? Well, we have used numerology to analyze the numbers and we love the potential!

According to Wikipedia, Numerology is the study of purported Devine, mystical or other special relationship between a number and some coinciding observed (or perceived) events. Modern numerology has roots as far back as 6th Century B.C. Greece and it takes a variety of aspects from many ancient cultures that we honour and respect today.

So, in the tradition of Tarot Arcana (otherwise recognized as the Tarot Card), the numbers of 2014 represent great opportunity for each and every single one of us…

2+0+1+4 = 7

According to Tarot Arcana the number 7 represents destiny. In this new year coming upon us, we each have the opportunity to choose, YES, it is completely within our own control… to choose to be the Master of our own Destiny or to be the victim. We have the power to live our lives on purpose or to just be carried along with the current of the times.

The number 7, being an odd number also represents change, specifically the “action” of change; as it moves each of us into the next moment.

Mastering our destiny combined with change moving us into the next moment suggests that 2014 will bring with it great opportunity should each of us choose to find and live our purpose.

At Tranquil Garden, we have decided to take action to move into this New Year with Purposefulness.

We know, without a doubt, that it is our destiny to be the place in Durham Region where like-minded people gather together to learn, share, heal, grow and prosper.

Over the last 3 years we have had a very clear mission to educate YOU to empower yourself to evolve your mind, body and spirit through Holistic Self Care Services & Programs that develop both actions and attitudes that contribute to your own unique journey of creating and maintaining balance and well-being in your life.

We are committed to making Holistic Self Care accessible; all while connecting you to other like-minded people in a supportive, learning inspired environment. 

The big question is … what is YOUR destiny and how will you choose to move into 2014? Not sure? Let Tranquil Garden be your resource as you embrace your destiny and move into the New Year with all that brings you passion, purpose and life balance.

  • Reason #2. We are celebrating our 3rd Anniversary and would love to have you join us!

 Yes, it is true… we are three years old. What an incredible three years it has been. We made it through the terrible twos and not without our challenges. Yet in the true fashion of the self-care evolution, we have made every effort to learn and grow with each obstacle. We have become stronger, smarter and even more focused.

 We have a lot to celebrate and we would love to have you join us on:

 Wednesday February 12, 2014 at 6:00pm – 9:00pm

for our

3rd Year Anniversary and Grand Re-Opening Party

Please RSVP to events@tranquilgarden.ca

  •  food & refreshments
  •  cake & ribbon cutting at 7:30pm
  •  $25 gift vouchers and goodie bags for the 1st 75 guests

Grand Re-opening? You heard it right. The next monumental moment for Tranquil Garden is to embrace our transition as we leave behind the terrible twos to celebrate becoming a toddler… and like most toddlers – we are on the move…

  • Reason #3. We are moving… February 2014; and we are kicking it up “Karma” style

There is no question that 1053 Ritson Rd N is a beautiful 6200 square foot facility with unique amenities and it certainly has been an awesome “home” to us the past 3 years. Unfortunately, our time there has not so gently come to an end. It just does not have the basic requirements that a business that wants to grow and thrive requires… like ample parking, wheelchair accessibility, good signage and consistently regulated heat and air conditioning.

Although our new location, 850 King St. W unit #8, is not a “home” it does have many very exciting features including but not limited to over a hundred parking spots; 10 treatment rooms, 3 meeting spaces and 4 washrooms all on one level; it is located in an easy to find, well advertised location at the border of Oshawa and Whitby; and it is cool in the summer and warm in the winter – whoo hoo!

Our last day at 1053 Ritson Rd N will be Saturday February 1st and our first day at 850 King St W will be Wednesday February 5th. We are giving ourselves a few days to get acclimatized and then we are going to celebrate with a week of COMPLIMENTARY services and events from Monday February 10th to Saturday February 15th.

Check out our calendar of events over the next couple of weeks to see what special treats we have in store for you.

SGC Admin: SGC also posts TGR upcoming events as we receive notice of them… and we always include a link to TGR’s website in our monthly newsletter… :) lots of avenues to check out the fabulous events and service’s going on TGR

SGC and team wishes TGR much success and happiness for 2014 and a smooth, joyful move… :)

New Moon January 1 2014

Our lady starts anew this month in the sign of Capricorn… :) On New Years Day… 

moonphasesmoving

It’s a good new moon for a new year as her main concern is going to be with getting things organized. The Capricorn moon will want to get down to business, indicating this could be a good time to initiate new business ideas or plans… 

Watch out for feelings of “guilt” if you skip your duties, and try not to expect the best of everyone, we aren’t all duty bound or career orientated… :) Try to be accepting of the ideas or opinions of others for the next few days, holding grudges isn’t healthy… :) 

It’s a good idea to be aware of our emotional responses during a Capricorn new moon, as some of us may have a tendency to appear off-handed or emotionally distant toward loved ones… if left unchecked this could have a negative impact on close relationships. 

The new moon is traditionally a good time to begin new projects, put new ideas into practice or to put plans to paper. Not everyone will be ready or able to start things during a new moon, but if you can why not give it a try and see what happens.. :) 

The moon in Capricorn will have more of an impact on those people who have the following in their birth chart.

Capricorn people are hard-working and can usually be relied upon to what is required of them as they are duty bound. The career can be the focus of the Capricorn person and they will work long hours to put their best foot forward or to climb the corporate ladder. That’s because their ruling planet Saturn is all about boundaries and restrictions. 

Capricorn people can be strong-willed and sometimes may be viewed as being uncaring or harsh towards those who appear to be less hard-working or who may display (in the mind of the Capricorn) foolish behavior, or who repeatedly make irresponsible decisions. Yet Capricorn people will also go above and beyond to help those they believe warrant their help or expertise. 

Thanks to all the hard-working, sensible, duty bound Capricorn out there for keeping things running and on track….

The Moon becomes full at 4:28 am but will be Void off Course until 1:17 pm when she settles in the sign of Cancer. 

The moon in Cancer is comfortable as she rules this Zodiac sign. We can be more emotional and sensitive during this time, so be wary of becoming needy or imagining slights that aren’t there. Home is where the heart is and when the moon is full in Cancer being “domestic” and doing things around the home, cooking for loved ones, cuddles and family are the sort of things we enjoy doing the most… :)

The Full Moon Void off Course… When the moon is Void off Course, she isn’t visiting with any of the Zodiac signs… She may carry over a slight influence of the last sign she was in… We are advised not to make important decisions when the moon is Void off Course because we may not always be in zinc with or understand our feelings.
