The full moon in Cancer brings us closer to family, we feel the need to nurture and take care of our loved ones. We can also become over dependant or needy, and our emotional self’s may be more sensitive than usual, take care not to make mountains out of mole hills, an innocent remark is just that, don’t see cruel intentions where there are none. 

The Full Moon is the perfect time to finish up your projects… and for the Cancer Full Moon, projects may be house/home/family related ones. 

The moon will go Void off Course at approximately 8:52 pm, her last aspect is an opposition to the Sun in Capricorn. Most times a void off course moon doesn’t bear well for decision-making, but this one may be on our side. We are in a time of opportunity from 4:03 am until the moon enters into the sign of Leo on Thursday at 5:00 am. 

We may feel the effects of the full moon, but those with the following chart positions are likely to feel the effects stronger

Unconditional Love Revisited

  • Date: Thursday, January 16, 2014
  • Time: 6:30 PM
  • Location: Whitby Public Library 405 Dundas St WEST, Whitby, ON (map) Tentatively in the archive room on the upper floor. 
  • What’s this meet up about? Check out what Patrice the organizer has to say..

“Hello everyone,

The word love is one that can often be under/misused.  Many times we use the word love to describe a strong liking, such as I love that movie, or I love your dress, or I love chocolate cake.  This can devalue the true meaning of Love.  

In this session let’s talk about what real love is.  What pure unconditional love is and what it means to those who are embarking, or have embarked on changing their perspective on life to a “more spiritual” one.

I will be sharing a video during this session.

Hope to see you there.”

Time to Nominate your local “hero”

SGC Admin: Thank goodness for those who have a pure heart, for they are the ones who give unselfishly, who assist others and their community, not for their own reasons, but because of one simply humane trait, compassion…. These are the folk who go beyond their job description, such as the teacher who puts in more hours than they should, the volunteers who assist those who have to go into the hospital, the doctor who is more concerned about the patients emotional state than spouting off medical terms, the person in the store who is gracious and pleasant every time they serve you… the list is endless…..

News from the Tranquil Garden Retreat Oshawa… :)

SGC Admin: From our inbox to you…. The Tranquil Garden Retreat in Oshawa has news to share and complimentary services to offer for 2014… Check out the following… 

3 Reasons to
Celebrate with
Tranquil Garden
in 2014

  • 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… :)
