Recent Weekly Reports

Highlights:   This week we have Jupiter moving into retrograde on Friday where it will be cueing us for about 4 months. Towards the end of the week we will be feeling the Full Moon on Sunday the 25th, exact at 9:37 pm Eastern US time.   What I am also noting is a rather interesting imbalance that we have this week, with a much stronger electric field intensity than magnetic.    Usually the average is for both to be of similar strength.   I am sensing this is also related to the second straight week of high Earth energy potential and to the very high potential we have for Shape energy overall this week, both of which are seen in the favorable dates table below.

Shapes in Nature and the interplay between them. This includes we humans, which of course DaVinci made famous through his drawing - but I am mostly connecting that with the heightened Earth potential and the magnetic/electric forces. What that leads me to is a week where we may want to think about our strength with the Earth wherever we happen to be.   And especially if we are noticing that in certain places we don't feel so good (mentally, emotionally or even physically) or places where we do feel wonderful. It could pay off in insights this week to not only follow ourselves around a bit to notice how we feel where we stand (including rooms in our home) and to also fleetingly think about getting some sort of sense about the electric/magnetic components of the Earth spot there. We can tuck this away in the back of our mind as we walk through our normal week, and hopefully as we accrue this information we may begin to make some connections that are worth following up on with either more formal research or even direct exploration on our part.

I do find personally that if I begin with a vague idea about something yet persist in pulling my conscious awareness of it up that I will quite often gain a lot more insight than I would have expected.   This feels like one of those types of weeks, rare and ripe with mystery - maybe leading us into researching deeper patterns of life such as the Golden spiral or Fibonacci sequence. We can begin by noticing the shapes of Nature and by paying attention to how solid/sound we feel in various places we spend our lives standing or sitting or laying. There is far more emphasis this week on our connection with the Earth and to the Earth herself rather than interactions between we and others (which was more the case for the prior few weeks).   This doesn't rule out that we may feel our interactions with others are also of consequence to us, but rather, that we want also to think about the Earth and how solidly we are standing wherever we are.   Where do you feel the most solid most of the time? Where do you feel least solid? Or is this a toss-up on any given day?

Even early this morning as I sat with my drink outside on my favorite bench I was clearly drawn to the pinecones on the ground.   Mind you, I see them every single day as our pines drop them continuously - but today I was especially drawn to them and drawn to go back over what I know of the Fibonacci spiral patterns that pine cones embody. Turns out that my favorite bench is in a strong magnetic area - I felt I wanted it there several years ago and it's tucked into a space that normally would not be seen as a sitting area. It is an exceptionally rejuvenating place though and I find that of all the areas on my deck, this is the spot I choose to sit most often.  I quite often will balance my plate on my knees at this spot rather than using our table and chairs 6 feet away.   You know that when you make choices which defy conventional logic that there is some invisible "x-factor" involved.   I'd not really spent any time thinking about what that factor might be, although today I am thinking that this could in part be due to the magnetic/electric makeup there.  And, indeed, on a magnetically challenged day, the magnetic field in this spot is holding its own.

What spots do you naturally gravitate towards? This week we may find ourselves even pickier or even more appreciative. We may use this week to make changes in our seating in and around our home. And, we might also get out our portable chairs and go find unusual spots to sit in and nurture ourselves as we connect with the Earth there.

Highlights of the Favorable Dates Table (below):   Take your significant other to a picnic this week - pick the spot based on feel and preferably do it in the first several days of this week while we have a run on personal communication.    If your partner is out of town this week you may find yourself longing to write him/ her poetry or emails expressing your feelings. If you find yourself feeling these urges, let yourself go there with them!   Also, if you have recently broken up with a lover you may find this week to be challenging so be kind to yourself and know that the intensity of the longing will lessen again!    Notice the full moon energy coming into play more strongly beginning on Wednesday as we see a ramp up in meditation and sounds. You may find yourself extra sensitive to sounds during the latter part of this week, but this also makes sound vibrational tools such as singing (even in the car to a pop song counts here!) or tuning forks more feasible.

By Wednesday as we come into the full moon energy dynamics more strongly you may want to set your rhythm to the day more formally - and you might wish to pay some attention to how well you are flowing the full moon cycle as this is going to impact the entire last part of our week and the entire weekend.

Highlights:   We are on the other side of the powerful Solar eclipse/new moon which crested on Sunday.   We are also closing the cycle on the 4 week long extravagaza of the Solstice, Lunar eclipse/full moon and this Solar eclipse /new moon trio.   Where did all of this leave us?    Closer to more solid grounding and closer to our hearts.   Heart flows are one of the main threads that I am picking up for this week.

What does it mean to truly connect with someone or something?   We may be getting new insights about that lately and it probably will lead us to our heart. We have to be present (grounding is a big part of this) and we have to have a heart to heart flow going to feel truly and deeply connected. Do we get "our hearts' desire"?   Yes we do, if we are truly connected to it.   We can spend the whole of our lives at times working to truly understand and connect to certain facets and people. We may "love them" but , until we have an open heart to heart flow with them, we will feel a lack of true connection. Our hearts and love are the glue that hold us all together. That hold the universe together.

I have seen personally and in my work that not only do we want to look at our heart to heart flow with someone/something overall, we may also find it beneficial to look at it from a Frontside and Backside perspective. In other words, we have a frontside heart to heart flow and a backside heart to heart flow with, well, everyone and everything in our lives.

Two football teams, neither having won the World Cup.   I found it more than interesting that an octopus was able to "pick" the winners of the soccer matches. If you haven't heard of this, I am sure you could find the details by googling.   What seems like interesting nonsense makes sense to me though since the octopus is really "matching" up heart to heart in some way with the countries and teams, entirely through just naturally sensing the energy of the food that is interacting with them through being placed in their box/realm of energy. Each country/ team is interacting with the food in the box, simply by virtue that it was formally placed there with the intention to do so. I see the octopus as merely reacting to the invisible synergy of the food/country/team and of course wants to pick that which feels more nurturing/ better.   He is being drawn to something that adds the invisible factor, likely coming from heart and presence.   So what we might say is that heart and presence make the food better and perhaps they also make a win come true.   The octopus is perhaps just a divining rod of which team has more of that going on.

Even the semantics of the game itself make sense when I look at the Frontside heart flows for each team with the game. If you watched the game, you know it was won on one goal, and that goal took almost 30 minutes of overtime.    It was not a pretty game, (as said by the announcers) and it was not decisive really. What I see is that Netherland's frontside heart flow with the final game was slightly challenged , giving them a decided handicap to contend with. Spain's frontside heart flow with the game was more open but was only *partially* open.   Neither team had the oomph they likely wanted to have.  In the end, though, the partially forward flow prevailed.

This is a fabulous lesson for us all - we need to have an open heart going with whatever - or whomever - we want to connect with.  And connection feels like winning, sometimes quite literally.

Highlights of the Favorable Dates Table (below):   Numbers and numerical vibrational signatures are extremely on this week so take advantage of that in whatever ways that may pop up.   Also, any numbers that come up this week and catch your awareness are definitely numbers to ponder and that mean something pivotal for you.   Business communication is up as well this week, so see how things at work shine this week - or - conversely, look for ways to use the favorable energy of this week to improve business relationships.   We have Physical Activity potential at high levels for the third week in a row! This is unusual and if, with all of this, we aren't exercising more than normal, then we need to look at why we are blocked in this way.   We have been ultra moved to move lately so if we are not moving enough we will have felt the nudges to improve on this.   This is likely the last great high week of physical activity ease for a short while - so make real efforts to find your movement muses this week and then, when the flows return to a more average potential for physicality, you will have some positive correlation in place to carry yourself through exercise and not let it fall to the wayside.

Highlights:   The Solar Eclipse/Mew Moon coming up this Sunday - woven into the matrix with the Full moon/Lunar eclipse about two weeks ago and the Solstice 3 weeks ago - are moving us solidly this week at all levels.   See the archived weekly reports for more details using the link below.

Our Healing Momentum:   Do you have an issue or facet or maybe a physical ailment which is a steady awareness for you?   This is a good week to get a sense of the direction of spin related to the healing process for that particular issue or ailment.    It's going in one of two directions: Forward or reverse.   Reverse, just as we might suspect, will mean that we never quite get a handle on healing this issue.    This is a good week to set your healing course back to a forward process if you don't feel you have that now.   I also see that we can have forward momentum for a span of months (or years) but then this can take a backseat as we pull in and work on other facets in our lives.   Like physically juggling where when you take your eye off the ball or add too many you can drop one.    So we might need to reset long standing healing patterns from time to time.   

We retain a very physically auspicious landscape all this week as we move into the new moon. Very body oriented this week, and we continue with a nice emphasis on musculoskeletal system. This week though I am picking up all of the body systems as being more efficiently worked with and workable. This wee presents us with a window of opportunity to get more in depth and "down and to it" with anything you've been working on health-wise.   When is the last time you have placed your hands on areas in pain, closed your eyes, gotten still and tuned into what your hands can perceive of the body rhythm there? Perhaps colors come to mind or other sorts of details. We can be so focused on the outer picture that we sometimes do not give ourselves permission to do the simplest types of attunements - which begins with a quiet palpation where we work on seeing with our hands. If you do this , please do not get frustrated with yourself if you don't feel or see anything the first few times. Give yourself permission and then give yourself time to sink into that permission in truth.   You will begin to pick things up that can be helpful in healing the issue.

Miracle Ball Method:   I have no financial interest in this product at all but want to mention that these balls by Elaine Petrone are incredibly good for aiding the muscoloskeletal system.   I have seen these work for a wide assortment of body issues and they are great just to help de-stress and relax our bodies too! You can find them on Amazon and at various companies in the US.   This is a great week for self care, for body care and for body healing of all sorts.

Solar Eclipse - Solar Plexus.   Focus on solar plexus this week could be larger than usual. Watch for stomach aches or nausea, liver focus or issues (anger goes with this) , and anxiety.   All of these are hallmarks of solar plexus being rocked to some degree.   If you feel any of these, one of the simplest ways to work on this immediately is through kinesthetic bodywork. Place your hands (hands are pivotal this week) in front of solar plexus with relaxed shoulders and allow the tension to push your hands outwards from your body. Once you feel like you are in a good place to stop, focus lovingly on the space between your hands and your body. By doing this, you are soothing the distress very actively and directly. You may feel subtle sensations as you do this, you may feel twinges or heat or tingling...or maybe nothing...but you may feel nausea ebb and you may feel calmer....all good indications that you are really and truly easing your distress. The nice thing is that we can do this wherever we happen to be.

I have seen 2 minutes or less of this take anxiety levels down from a "10" to a "3".    I have seen this work faster than meds. And I have seen that this is not just a temporary measure - it actually allows you to resolve a bit of what is causing all that inner tension every time this is done.   Meds cannot do this at all.    There is nothing as healing for us as our own empowered self care!  This week that sheds light on our "ego center" is a great week to explore all of this and more. Notice in the favorable dates table below that we have Meditation at a high potential all week...that will help us with all sorts of self attunements.

Make time for Family Dinners this week so that we can make use of the high potential we have all this week.   Don't feel you need to cook (though you may feel more inspired than usual to learn a new dish) - order a pizza or sushi - the point is to gather together and make good use of the family energy we have in abundance right now!

Recent Weekly Reports

Highlights:   Happy Solstice!    Monday the 21st we crest this powerful Grand Cross cycle.   For details on the major players in this solstice we are honored to have a special astrology page created for Earth Alchemy by Susan Sanford. That link is here.

The grand theme of this Grand Cross Solstice can perhaps best be summed up by the photo above. Music of the Spheres meets the Human Experience/perspective.   Heavenly meets Earthly.   Taking the mystical down to the practical level.    This week we see the magic within a simple game of Palenque (above photo).    It is not just skill and fun, it is a powerful tool for resetting rhythm and for experiencing harmony.   (If we could hear the music made by the balls in the photo, what would it sound like? )  In fact I have noted that spheres of all sorts are up right now - but most especially those that are for human hand usage, whether this be Zen meditation balls, stress squeeze balls, bocci balls or palenque balls.

All this past week I found in my work that one of the major items coming up over and over in consults was a feeling of special awareness or activation of what I call the negative, creationary human space.   The space bounded by our fingers when we spread our fingers out. And, the long V created by our legs when we spread them apart to match our hips. That negative space is zinging right now and this will continue on through much of this week from what I am sensing.    One of the more famous and perhaps most used of these negative creationary spaces is the circle created by touching our thumb to forefinger - notably while doing meditation.

What if we took that into our daily life?   What if before we ate we closed our eyes and mindfully touched our thumbs to forefingers while tuning into the creationary space and then lovingly connecting this to our meal?   What if we were in line at the grocery store and while waiting there mindfully touched our thumb to forefinger(s) while setting intentions to bless everyone in the store along with us?   What if we took the extraordinary into our very ordinary and mundane lives?    What if we played a game of bocci and dedicated the ending layout of balls to world peace?    I simply offer this to you for whatever you might find it to be worth.

A note on all this creationary stuff:   The minute we force ourselves to do something, that is when we deflate the power out of it because then our heart isn't truly in it.    So, if we truly feel we want to touch thumb and forefinger together somewhere, then that is great.   If we don't truly feel the flow to naturally do this, then we want to honor this as well.   Being in the flow means knowing when we want to do things and when we don't want to.   It means knowing when to spend time to gain a good solution for us as the individuals we all are.    I offer ideas but I hope that we each will use them - or not - as we feel to.   The main point is that we carry human magic around with us all the time - this is perhaps more apparent during such potent cycles and maybe even more usable then - but we hopefully will hold this close to our hearts from here on out and trust that we will use this when the time is right for us.

Guilt...the jig is up on guilt this week.   Guilt is a human construct that comes from not following our flows.   We can resolve this guilt dilemma by choosing to follow our flows more often - of letting go the control stranglehold.  Following our flows will not throw us into a free-for-all in our lives, devoid of structure or boundaries. That is what we create, in my experience, when we choose Not to follow our flows more often.   Will following our flows to, say, set family boundaries, cause ripples for a while?  Yes, it certainly may because following the flows is a step by step by step type of initiative.   It is not a magic pill that, when chosen correctly, pushes the "big button" for us.   It is the magic pill for that one moment.  Then we need to tune into the next moment and the next and the next. And we need to KEEP choosing.    In the process we grow, and perhaps those in our lives grow - I find this happens in surprising ways that we would never imagine. By allowing the natural flows to guide us, we can navigate anything, as long as we don't impose an expectation of time on this process.    It is, as we all know, more about the journey than the destination. Have I seen that once we step off the ledge into our natural flow that things can quickly turn around in great ways? yes, I have absolutely seen that allowing our stranglehold on the situation to go will effect immediate ease. But this is not always the case. What is the case consistently though is that when we make decisions in the flow, we will not have guilt compounding our inner tension levels. What would we be able to do with all that extra free space inside? Hmmm...no time like the present to find out!

Lunar Eclipse/ Full Moon   is exact on Saturday this week at 7:30 am Eastern US time.   Between this and the solstice, we have another week of high potential as shown by the favorable dates table below. What I am really seeing is a slight dip in the ultra high intensity on all the facets beginning Thursday - however - it is still better than average so deserves to remain highlighted.

Highlights:   This week is the hot spot week that takes us into the Solstice next Monday, June 21st.  For the Northern Hemispherians, that would be Summer Solstice and for those in the South,  Winter Solstice.   This link will take you to a special Astrology encapsulation of this Solstice, created for Earth Alchemy by a gifted astrolger, Susan Sanford

If you are a long time reader of my reports - back when they were daily - you may recall the main forces table highlighting Electrical, Magnetic, Paramagnetic and Diamagnetic with a level of intensity for each.  This week, we are at double the normal intensities - for all of the main forces.

In fact, as you can see by the Favorable Dates Table below, we have a high potential week going for *everything*.   This is one of the most change-oriented and growth-forward weeks we will have all year. It is the perfect time to set - and reaffirm - our life directions, goals and dreams. If we are good with this cycle, we have the potency and power of it behind us for ANYthing we want to work on or think about or do. And while there may be extra clarity at the moment of solstice - which was what the ancients built into their temples and such to mark out - there is incredible power for us all this entire week as we lead up to the solstice. Simply put, this is not a small cycle and the impact it will have on us is commensurate.

The first question to ask yourself this week is " Am I working Well with all this energy?"    If you sense that you are not doing so, then that is going to be tops on the to-do list.    The energy of this cycle may be exploding into our consciousness more this week and early next, however, the cycle itself will be moving us for the next 3 months so we really do want to smoothe our flow with this cycle - and thus, we will be smoothing to a large extent how well we can process all through this cycle.   If anybody would like to know what I see for you with this solstice in basic terms of moving it well, fair, or poorly, please email and I will get back to you within a couple of days or sooner.

I do find that we use such intense cycles to pull out the stops on issues or items that we have had a difficult time getting into or of healing. What types of things have begun catching your awareness more than usual for the past several days? These are contenders for what you want to achieve this week. They also likely will revolve around life impacting issues.    What have you been avoiding?   What do you need, need, need to work on?    Those are some of the things you may find to be up this week and the bigger the issues, the better this week for taking you into a new and more open direction!    Embrace the cycle and *allow it* to help you handle the toughest stuff.    This IS the "I'm not messing around anymore" cycle.   It will be cueing us to take actions and to do things we have been wavering on or trying not to think about entirely.     The solstice is happening within each of us, not just marking designated spots on ancient buildings and within stone circles. What do you want to do with all that potential?

Garden Notes:   Present Tense: There is no better week than this powerful one for standing in Earth spots that you've never stood in before - and of course, as I speak about in my article " The Portable Chair Perspective", this does not neccesarily mean we need to leave our home or yard. In fact, the best spots to locate and stand (or sit or lay) on could well those that have been under our nose all along, so close and familiar to us that we've seen them a million times. The trick is, have we actually stood there and allowed the essence of those spots to gift us with their presence? No time like the present - and the more present we are this week and for this solstice, the better it will be.

Highlights:    On Saturday we will have the New Moon exact at 7:15 am Eastern US time.    My sense of this new moon window is that it involves lots and lots of orange.   It is not usual for me to describe a moon cycle through color, but this is one of the impressions I am picking up about this week and this moon cycle. This will really begin hitting us on Tuesday on into Wednesday, lighting up our sacral chakra and also possibly cueing us to work on improving flows between our sacral and its neighboring chakras.   I am also feeling a nice emphasis on how the chakras feed into the meridians. If you allow yourself to give some focus attention to this, see what comes up for you. It may be that you do not feel anything particularly urging, but you might, and if so the window to work on them is fabulous for you this week.

Boundary Week:   This is a lovely week for working on boundaries, especially those related to our family.   It likely is the sacral chakra involvement in this week, giving us a wonderful yet gentle push to create new and stronger relations with our relations! What we want is a win-win situation. This means standing our ground firmly on not only our responsibility but also holding our family members' to their responsibility. It also means that within each interaction you want to take it from a charged situation down to one of good will and peace.    This CAN be done! Clearing the air is the beginning to finding the depth we all crave with our family and this is a supreme set of days to do so.   Keep holding the intent to create a win-win situation in your mind and heart and then do follow your cues to speak up! It always goes over well with our family members to let them know how much we really do love them.

Favorable Table Notes:   The energy is behind us fully this week related to family dinners/ family boundaries (see above) so one way to help make that win-win situation could be around the table - try not to make it a restaurant if possible since this can inhibit free speaking. Also, we have had a strong energetic emphasis on Dreamwork for several weeks in a row now! If you have not done anything particularly with Dreamwork so far, perhaps you might work with the extra capacity this week by keeping a notebook by your bed and before bed one or so nights this week think of something you want to resolve or to have answers on and see what dreams you recall when you wake up.

Garden Notes:   The right plant for the right place takes more than fulfilling soil, sunlight and water conditions.   You can experience this for yourself by doing some "what if" garden scenarios. Pick a spot in your yard that you need to plant a plant upon - it should be sunny and there should be good water supply out to this spot so that water is not an issue. Now get a list of 2 or 3 plants that you could plant here - those that grow at the same height and like sun and seem to grow well in your area (which would mean basic soil conditions are alright for them in your area.)

Stand at the spot, thinking of each of the plants you could place there with the intention that you want to specifically feel out how each plant will like it there.    Do you get a feel that one plant would prefer this site over the others?   I have felt this preference every time I tune into the Earth spot and plants in this way.   So much so that that I usually do not bring a plant home unless I feel it will fit in there. There is every likelihood that I am tuning into a far more energetic - yet no less valid - grid to get this information. It likely has to do with the Earth's subtle energies that are on and influencing that spot, on the plants bordering this site and on any number of other such variables.   I don't find that I need to be able to put this into words or logic at all - I simply need to quickly allow myself to tune into the situation and the plant and let the plants (and Earth) show me whom will thrive there. It's been a very good system for me over the years and one that is so second nature to me now that I hardly ever think about it.  What I have found is that this creates a pleasing tapestry of color and texture as well as a balanced yard overall. The yard practically designs itself!

Note:   I'll be taking Memorial weekend off - please look for the next weekly report on Monday June 7.

Highlights:    On Thursday is the Full Moon, exact at 7:43 pm eastern time.    This upcoming Sunday (May 30) will see Saturn moving back into direct motion after being retrograde since January 13.   And then on Monday, Memorial Day, Neptune moves into retrograde motion until November 6/7.

I am feeling this week to be strongly directional - Roots into Earth being signalled to move down strongly and thus a fabulous time to plant if you've been holding off. Also an opportune week to set and reset our own directions. You can focus on the area of your life that feels most challenged in terms of the Feng Shui directions: For example, North relates to Career and Path in Life. South relates to The Light Within Us/ Fame/Reputation.  The Southeast energizes/ feeds our money and abundance.

I have found that it is good to look at 3 main things in relation to these directional dynamics. Our Inner flow, our Outer flow and then the interactive flow between inner and outer. For example, how is your Inner North? If this is not in good forward flow, then you may feel like you are still not sure of your career and that your career is not happening as you may want/ need.   That "happening" would be related to where your Outer North is at.   This a generously endowed week for all directional attunement and/ or shifting we may want to do. You can easily get a list of the Ba-Gua directions and what they each energize online.

Work/Play :   I am picking up a good sized awareness that we want, this week especially, to focus on balancing our Work and Play dynamic.   Not too much work is what this usually means for us, however, if you need to light more of a work-fire under yourself, this is the week to be more mindful of that as well.

This Full Moon:   How do you feel you are flowing the energy of this full moon?   We will be feeling it move us at various levels of our field all week long and it is a powerful moon.   If you feel you may need some acclimation help, you may want to take a few moments to equalize / balance the full moon WITHIN you with the full moon you can see outside.   What's lovely about the moon phases and especially the full moon is that it is so visible in our world (if the sky is clear!) so we have a vastly easier time to focus and connect by simply looking up.   I find that connecting and "equalizing" takes only a minute - it's really more a matter of placing our attention and loving awareness there more than anything else! We tend to be insulated in our homes and lifestyles so our awareness is not on the natural cycles.   Once we do begin to place them there it can be like a revelation! There is a revival of Full Moon gatherings happening all over the world now where wise women and men gather to celebrate together the majesty and power of the moon cycles. If you are yearning for spiritual community this can be a great place to begin.

Garden Notes:   Great week to plant!   Plant kingdom is really on this week and we have this fabulous directional energy happening to guide roots down and green parts upward.   My husband and I were planting our tomato seedlings out yesterday and I have a tip to use some volcanic rock dust in each planting hole if you can locate this. In America there is an agricultural amendment called Azomite, which is coming from Utah. This was the first time I had used this and I was incredibly impressed with what this meant for our seedlings. We put them in at the hottest part of the day, which, normally, would mean a wilt period for them of at least a day - but not one plant that had some Azomite in its' hole showed any signs of this whatsoever.   I experimented a bit by planting 2 tomatoes without this and they immediately showed the normal transplant wilt I have come to expect.   I was super impressed since I've been planting for 3 decades, and this was the first time I'd ever seen this.

So what is it about the Azomite that might be helping so quickly? In a word, Paramagnetism. This volcanic rock dust is extremely paramagnetic and this is said to be a chief component of very happy soil and plants - one that has not been researched all that much.   This rock dust contains many trace minerals and yet I would imagine the uptake by the plants would be measured in days rather than minutes, but who knows if this played a role as well.    I didn't look at the paramagnetic field of the tomatoes we planted with Azomite but I did look briefly at the Magnetic field and found it to be rock solid instead of wavering as it would usually be at transplant time. As the two tomatoes who did not receive this were showing me. I share this in the spirit of experimenting for whatever you may find it to be worth.

Pooling our Paramagnetic Curiosity   If anyone else would like to share experiments and insights learned based on studying what paramagnetism can do - for plants, people, pets and Earth - please email me so we can inspire one another and share our findings.

Highlights:    Notice the challenge days for Numbers and the one challenge day on Thursday this week for physical activities. It is quite rare for me to pick up this reverse or challenged momentum at all so the fact that I am picking this up for Numbers all week long is a clue to keep in mind as you go about your week. What it means, exactly, can be different for each of us but it does represent some unique window.    The numbers in our life relate to so many facets, from dates to clock numbers we notice often to , of course, financial situations. This is a week where we may want to spend more time being aware of numbers and of our numbers. If you notice one particular number several times, say, some time on the clock, then it's a sure clue for you. Allow yourself to explore this number, to explore your feeling for it and with it - to even work on your subconscious level of anxiety related to this number. This is a superb week for noticing the numbers in our life and for smoothing things over with any that come up and feel challenged for us. It also may be a time when we want to rethink any purchases we make this week, especially large purchases.   Not that we want to hold off on making them but we simply might want to spend more time thinking things through this week. We may even feel cues to be more frugal and careful with our money this week. I do believe this is the first time I have ever seen this before and would appreciate hearing from you all on the weekend or later what it has (or has not) meant for you.

A Focus on Fruits:   I am also picking up an interesting focus on fruits this week, in terms of diet. You may feel more drawn to fruit, especially if you usually tend to avoid it for health reasons (like candida). On a week like this one, it may actually be better for you to eat fruits than it normally would. This is something that you might tune into for yourself on a day by day basis to determine.

Garden Notes:   Taking Energy Flow Into Our Gardens  Do you have a trouble spot in your yard?   One where plants don't seem to thrive or where you feel some distress?   The plants and your feelings are cueing you into studying this area in more depth, beginning with the energy flows (or non-flows as the case may be!) there.   To determine this, you need to be there and allow yourself to gain senses of the area. Bringing a portable notebook with you to write down impressions can be helpful. Does the area make any particular emotions pop to mind?   How about colors?   If there are colors coming to mind, think about the past history of the plants you've had there - any color match-ups? Is it the opposite of the colors you've been placing there?   Have you always had plants there but maybe feel like something of stone, metal or wood could help soothe the flow there?

I find it helpful to think about a challenged Earth spot as needing to be "soothed".    Then I can walk through my mind through a multitude of basic ideas about how to do this.  In doing so you will very likely find yourself attracted to one or more of those.   That is not a coincidence.   They have merit as a balancing aid for the area in question, either as they stand or to be flushed out further.    What will soothe or calm (aka rebalance) this area?   Less plants, different plants, more plants, no plants? More water energy needed? That can be accomplished in many ways, from adding organic matter to the soil which will retain more moisture to adding something very overt like a pond or a bird bath.

If you work with feeling energy flow either using your hands or a pendulum, you can also see what you pick up this way, of course.   This is the old and venerable art/ science of dowsing the land.    If you have more than one plant in that area, see what the flows between each plant look like - are the neighbors all flowing well with one another or are they not compatible?   Companion planting happens with all trees and shrubs too.   We tend to think of companion planting as for crops and perennials, but all plants carry their own unique energy and they all interact with their neighbors. Something to review for each plant is foremost whether each plant is working well with the Earth spot it sits upon, and then, whether it is flowing openly with all its neighboring plants.   I have been doing this for so long that I don't follow a methodical process like this anymore; I find that my attention is drawn right away to the plants that are having problems.   In the beginning however you might want to be fairly systematic. I have definitely found find that tuning into any Earth spot with a subtle energy frame of mind can lead to wondrous new discoveries and a more balanced yard!

Large Cycle Highlights:    The New Moon is exact on Thursday at 9:04 pm Eastern US time.    On Tuesday this week we end a 3 1/2 week Mercury Retrograde cycle.    According to the flows for humanity at large, the new moon is presenting some challenge for us en masse.   This means that individually we stand a decent chance of feeling a challenge.   The way to personally tell how this is affecting us is to get a sense of our body and then visualize the new moon energy beginning under our feet (or over our head, whichever you prefer) and seeing how well it can run through our body. Do we allow it to fully gift our entire self with it's energy/ potential or do we resist and thus stop it from filling our "sails" completely? Does it seem to go only so far and then get stuck? Are there any physical or other clues and senses you are getting about how this new moon cycle will flow through you?   Perhaps you see the new moon energy able to flow up the frontside but not at your backside. Perhaps vice verse. Maybe left side more than right side.

If you notice any challenges in allowing the new moon energy to fully gift you with it's potential, you would start to work on allowing your resistance to be released so that the new moon potential can flow into those areas. You want to feel the new moon energizing you from top to bottom and back again.

Garden Notes:   Celebrating Plants    Looking for some non-caffeinated, non-sugar, good-for-you beverages?   Look at the herbs in your garden!  You can make a fresh tea out of anything in your yard that is safe and edible. Simply add 5 to 15 leaves of your chosen herbaceous plant to a cup of near boiling water, cover with a plate and let steep anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes.

Fresh mints, basils, thymes, lemon verbena, lemon balm and an *astounding* variety of other plants that we commonly have in our yards can not only keep you happily supplied in teas each day of the week but it can be slightly addictive to create your own "blends".   You know exactly how organically your herbs have been grown, you can tailor your tea to your taste/ needs for the day or moment and, because you are placing more awareness on the entire process, you will get way more out of your beverage experience.   In my yard I have upwards of 20 regularly known culinary herbs to which I might turn to but I also have another 30 plants that I can use which are less known as teas, including some of our "weeds" like Plantain, Dandelions and Violets. With all this variety, tea making can be a very exciting activity in and of itself! I definitely do have my mundane moments in tea making when I don't want to invent anything new, but even then, if I am hankering for mint, I can combine any of the 6 varieties of mint that we keep here to create the perfect celebration of the moment. No matter where you live, tea making with your own fresh plants is a great way to put more fun into your life. You need only start with one herb to enjoy this magic!

Ask Chris....this is a section of the weekly report I am thinking about adding.   Do you have questions related to energy flow of home or yard, plants, animal companions, your interactions with others or yourself? Email me and if I can give you an answer I will post it on the weekly reports! (your name will not be posted, only initials)

Large Cycle Highlights:    The Full Moon is exact on Wednesday at 8:18 am Eastern US time.    The overall effect of this full moon for we in humanity seems to be of the milder and gentler variety.    This is the second week in Mercury retrograde as well - please see the past two reports for more on that.

Mind over Matter  is one thread that is up this week.   This pertains to far more than just the placebo effect! If we don't mind, then it doesn't matter.     Whatever we do mind is going to be playing in our life at some level and probably quite physically.  We can think about this for any number of facets.    Take any statement and see how your energy related to that statement flows between mind and matter levels.   Some that can play out in wide-spread ways include: "I Like Myself", "I Can Change"  and " Life Is Easy".   You may be surprised at how working with these basic concepts and getting a nice open flow between Mind and Matter for them can improve any number of stresses, including physical ones.   Cancer, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue are 3 superb indications for working on Mind over Matter.

Garden Notes:   Got some common weeds in your yard? You might have a spring tonic salad mix right outside your door! Tender young Dandelion leaves and the early Violet leaves contain impressive amounts of Vitamins A (as the precursor Beta-carotene) and are also loaded with Vitamin C.   For example, 1/2 cup of violet leaves has as much vitamin C as 4 small oranges.    Dandelions also yield incredible mineral and trace mineral potency since their taproots go down and pull up the minerals. This is the time of year to harvest leaves of both plants and add them to your salads. Or, make a small salad entirely or these greens along with some rocket. These are the so-called "spring tonics" that our ancestors - and many people still today - eat to help cleanse and build the blood.    We all likely know what dandelions are, but you can google image any plant you may want a photo ID of.

The secret of keeping weeds in check organically:   If you live in the Great Lakes area, this week is prime dandelion flowering time.   What to do if you want *some dandelions but not huge amounts of them, especially in your lawn?    Keep picking the flowers and flower-heads.   A plant cannot reproduce through seeds if their flowers cannot bloom and mature!

If you have a long term plans to hand pull some dandelions every week but you cannot get to them all, spend 30 minutes at the right times to at least pick the flowers. If you are absolutely organic, you can take those flower heads and make a fritter out of it by adding them into a batter of egg, flour and milk and then sauteing in some butter. These dandelion flower fritters are one of my very favorite spring treats!

When you pull whole plants out, you can wash off the roots and use those to make an overnight tea which will contain lovely amounts of minerals.   To make these you chop the cleaned roots and place into a canning or other glass jar, cover with boiling water, put the lid on and leave on your counter overnight. The next morning, you have nutritious tea.  Water extracts minerals beautifully from plants.   Refrigerate after the morning and drink within a day or so.   You cannot go wrong with dandelions - the entire plant is edible and is a "bitter" for us which means this is fabulous for our liver, our gallbladder and our entire digestive system.

Large Cycle Highlights:    The New Moon is exact on Wednesday this week at 8:29 am Eastern US time.    We also have a Mercury Retrograde beginning on Sunday - and as with everything shared in the last weekly report about Pluto with respect to working with a cycle (rather than fighting it!), the same goes - maybe threefold, for Mercury.

The Mercury retrograde is a cycle that will be part of what moves us, aka energizes us for the next 3 and a half weeks.   The question is, how will it be energizing us? For humanity at large, it looks like that will be moving us in a partially challenging way, and it also looks like this will be playing us all the way into the more physical /body levels.

Let's take an example of someone who each time a Mercury retrograde comes has found that another piece of equipment gets ruined somehow.   And they probably say that they cannot travel or speak well or make decisions during Mercury retrogrades since their lives seem to fall apart during these cycles. Perhaps we all know of someone who has expressed at least a part of this sentiment. What is this person's flow with Mercury retrograde cycles overall? It is a very* challenged flow.   That means the energy of this cycle, one of those used to power their life, is powering their life reversely. And since it's Mercury, it's powering all the Mercurial facets of their live reversely.

Now let's tune into another person who loves Mercury retrogrades and finds them to be lovely vehicles for deep communication and for a particular type of clarity that moves them forward in large ways. This person is working with the cycle very well - an open flow of interaction/exchange with this cycle. Thus, this cycle is powering their Mercurial life facets in forward, open ways.

Of course, there are other circumstances involved, but the basic component of whether you are being powered by the energy this cycle in a forward or a reverse momentum is a valid one to consider. There obviously is a difference in skill-sets between the above two people, in predispositions between them and in life experiences. All of this factors into how they each, by default, flow the energy of Mercury retrograde cycles. However, we each have free will.   We do not need to settle for default. What that means in the terms of this Mercury Retrograde cycle is that we can always begin turning our momentum around if it's not already an open easy flow.   In the process of doing this, of course, we would be healing facets of ourselves, working on belief codes perhaps and a myriad of sundry facets that we don't have to think about.  It's all wrapped up in how we flow (or rather, how we aren't flowing) with this Mercury retrograde.   All we need do is focus on that as purely and as unconditionally as possible with the undertone intent to begin helping yourself gently unwind this challenge. However you like best to work - see it, feel it, hear it as you process.

Some Aid:   For the next 3 weeks I offer a flow check for you with this Mercury Retrograde cycle. This offer is open for those of you who have felt you had momentum to change and who have applied yourself to this and may now wish another piece of validation.   I will take a look at this for you at three main levels: Body, Mind and Spirit. Please email me and I will get back to you within 3 days.

Animal Kingdom....   is still running special potential this week.    I have noticed personally that I have had contact with dogs in person almost everyday last week, which is quite unusual (and really nice).    It's a great period of time to connect in whatever ways you can or feel to with animals in your life - whether that be the animal companions you share your home with or even the animals you see in your yard or maybe those you spot on the roads (whether alive or passed).

Notes Related to Favorable Dates:   We have a rousing full-on potential for Earth work/ gardening for the second straight week in a row - wind continues to fill our sails fully for seeding, planting, yard care and Earth energy clearings or other Earth work. Got a new home recently? This is a fabulous week to work on your connection with the land that both home and yard sits on form as many levels as possible/ pertinent. Got a neighbor who is less than amiable? If so, that means there may be certain Earth energy flows that are getting squeezed a bit as it travels across "property lines". Large boulders, placed without attunement can also redirect Earth flows sometimes and that can be a problem if the energy seems to not flow through your yard it is is meant to or if it now begins to flow through your yard or home as it was not really meant to. Not that we want to get obsessive about this, but, there are times when we may get senses related to this and if so we will want to pay attention to them.   We can apply some love to the Earth through prayer or energy work or in other ways.

Large Cycle Highlights:    Pluto moves into apparent retrograde motion on Tuesday which will put a deep-seated spin on our week a bit more actively - but then this will quietly be moving us for the next 5 months.    This is a solar system energy that has large meanings related to transformation and rebirth urges. It could be a good week to do some research online about Pluto to take full advantage of this retrograde period that represents a good chunk of our year!    As I have shared many times before, cycles come and cycles ebb - what puts them into perspective is how we, personally, are moving them. We can move them well and experience deep growth and expansion, we can move them poorly and feel like we are being challenged internally or they may do nothing either way for us. The choice is always ours to make. However if Pluto has great meaning in our chart overall, and we likely are moving it very actively one way or another, it is well worth our while to get a sense of whether we are moving this cycle in forward or reverse momentum. And if in reverse, to work on turning that around for ourselves to the extent possible. We can shape our "play" with any and every cycle...and it will mean different or varied outcomes. I have seen this personally and with clients time and again. We have the ability to shape our experiences - that is exactly what working with cycles at such elemental/ subtle levels is all about.

According to the flows for humanity at large related to this particular Pluto retrograde cycle, it looks as though this will not affect us all physiologically as much as it will impact us Emotionally, Mentally, Spiritually - and most of all (a surprise to me) Astrally.    The momentum I am noting at these levels for humanity is challenged, which means this will be pushing some deep buttons - buttons we may find uncomfortable. Obviously some of us will have great flows with this cycle at all levels and that could be you. The only way to know is to do an inner check, at each of these main levels. If we find something not as open, we can work on holding loving space to aid *our processing of working with this cycle better.

Animal Kingdom:   This week I am picking up a special potential related to the animal kingdom.    According to the flows this will be with us for the next several weeks at least.   It's a great period of time to connect in whatever ways you can or feel to with animals in your life in new or deeper ways - whether that be the animal companions you share your home with or even the animals you see in your yard or maybe those you spot on the roads (whether alive or passed).

Large Cycle Highlights:    Full Moon is exact Monday night at 10:25 pm Eastern US time.    As well this is one of the most important weeks in the realm of religion with Passover beginning Tuesday and Easter this weekend.   If you were raised either Jewish or Christian, you may want to check your internal stress status this week to see if you have a flow dynamic challenge pushing some deep buttons between Religion and Spirituality. They are not the same thing and I have noted this duo can be rather deeply irritating and problematic, especially if you are non practicing of your religion.    I mention this as a main thread because it is absolutely a factor we do not want to underestimate in terms of deeply held tensions.   If you are feeling more tension this week, you would want to check to see how well you are flowing with the full moon cycle first of all and then look to see where you are at with the flow between religion and spirituality. And, of course, these tend to be family get togethers as well so if this is the case for you, you might want to hold space for your entire family as a team unit and work on gaining a good flow for you all as a group. This will set the stage nicely.

Group Flow Dynamics:   This is a noteworthy undertone that has come forward for this week, likely because there will be so much community gathering.   I have learned that it is a great thing to be able to pull everyone together and set the tone as a constructive and forward momentum one. In fact I use this all the time. For example, just this past Saturday I did this whiule I was driving to my Herbalism class. I simply pulled all of we students together and took a look at the main flow overall - finding it to be lacking in cohesiveness and the magic that such a group could be. I already knew this since I felt it clearly on my first class day. We were all new to one another, yes, but I still felt we had some stronger personalities in this group and some that were more timid and that we had so many people from so many diverse backgrounds.  A very good cross-section.

So as I was driving to my second class I pulled up our group flow and held space so we could come together in a more cohesive way.  What did I find? That I felt a really positive spark between us all and that I will love this class and all who are there immensely. I have done group flows for families that also show this type of turnaround. I have simply found that a bit of loving focus to bring any group together is a lovely, lovely way to improve our community and world. And that this is totally appropriate during such community-oriented weeks like this one is.

Of course, we don't need to stop there (with the groups in our immediate life) - we could indulge in holding space for the Muslim, Jewish and Christian communities (in a Trinity or trio) to help with religious intolerance issues. Intolerance springs from deeper flow locks, and that merely comes from having such diverse backgrounds and experiences.   According to the overall flows between these 3 religions, I am noting an immensely active challenge - meaning - there is not going to be masse tolerance for one another because at the deepest levels (and more subconscious) there is this goading lock that is active and endless and powerful. This goes against what spirituality is, of course, as the basics of universal love run through all the religions of the world. What we get at the "surface" is plenty of rhetoric which does not reach our heart of hearts and loads of intolerance. Sometimes that is pushed into actions like bombings but mostly it is carried out at far more insidious levels, even within families. It absolutely does Not have to be this way! We CAN focus on the group dynamics and open them up in wondrous ways! Any one of us can do this for the whole - and everything any one of us does is going to take us all that much closer to a world of tolerance and true love. We probably have not thought to focus on the whole tamale in this way - but the walls will come down when we have the open flow at the deepest levels.

A Final Note On This.... is that if you do feel nudged to do a masse focus on the 3 religions as a group together, you will first want to make sure that *your personal flow* with these 3 as a group is good to go. Then you can apply that to the world. Without your own personally open flow of these groups within yourself, working on anything larger than yourself would be like trying to throw stepping stones from the shore. We can throw them only so far.  But, if we stand of each solid stone to place the next, we will get across the river.

Favorable Dates Table Notes:   There looks to be a pretty large change in the landscape between Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Notice how so many of the facets are on till Thursday and then fall back to neutral the rest of the week. However, the blockbuster facets of this week are Dreamwork, Sounds and Numbers. These are filled with way more potential than usual! (Could be a good thing that numbers are here to facilitate sending in our tax returns more easily! )

Large Cycle Highlights:    Back to a more normal landscape overall, and we are in between any large moon or other cycles this week. This will feel like a let down if you were having the week of your life last week but it will be a much needed break if you were feeling all that intensity in less wondrous ways.   I found overall for everyone - no matter which side of the grass we were on - that it was a true kick in the pants to get going.

This week we can expect lessor nudges in every facet of our lives, which will help us to clean up after the extravaganza of last week a bit. We may have come away from the equinox powerhouse with a bevy of actionable ideas we now need to see through. It's a slightly gentler week, made for carrying out what we have put into place.

Having said that , however, there can be some pockets of feistiness that perhaps need a little help to keep them from erupting outright. We shall see what happens with the passage of the Health Reform bill in late night voting session by the House of Representatives on Sunday. Talk about a powerful culmination of months of work by both parties, and by Congress as a whole.    I couldn't resist taking a quick peek at the conscious happiness flow for all Americans with this bill in action - and I am happy to say it looks like we will weather it and weather it well. A decade down the road it looks even better.   

There is always the masse status quo factor of not wanting big change (even as we pounded on our ballots this past November and said we wanted big change).    And we have too much on our plate already.   There is no doubt that we are now moving into unexplored territory - always guaranteed to place fear into us.   The change agent button has been pushed with this bill becoming reality - far from being over, now it all really begins for Americans to make it work for us in a win-win way.   It's going to be a learning process and a molding process; the bill as it's written can and likely will be changed down the road.

I do see a largely challenged flow on the roll-out and exploration process for this bill.   With a healthy attitude about this being a *process*, there would not be such a challenged flow.    I was not only listening to the Representatives give their oratories, I was also checking their flows out to see how well they each process in general. I can tell you that there was a large division on this.    We all want a win-win situation of course.    This being the case, we might feel nudged to hold some space at some point (could be this week, next week or a month down the road) to help this into a win-win dynamic - to help us all process this well.   Attitude is a pivotal part of any change.   We need to hold dearly to an attitude of win-win, not only for this new bill but for all facets of our life we feel challenged by and are working on.

Large Cycle Highlights:   We had the Full Moon on Sunday (see the recent reports archive) so this week is not riding to a main moon cycle. What we are riding to, though, is the Spring Equinox if you are a Northerner and Autumn Equinox if you are a Southerner (that's hemisphere, of course!).   The Equinox is coming up March 20 but we've been feeling the cycle shiftover between this and the solstice for at least a week now. This is the perfect time to set your direction and interaction with this potent cycle towards open and brilliant. I do find that a bit of look-ahead in this way can be remarkable in how it allows us to experience the next several months. This is key, too, that we are under the auspices of the Equinox for the next 3 months' time.

Ways to approach seeing how you are flowing with the upcoming equinox:   There are a few main ways to get a feel for where you are at with this important cycle. The first is to place you and the equinox cycle next to one another in your mind and get a sense of how well the flow interaction is happening there. Are you going to feel threatened or challenged? Do you feel a nice easy flow exchange between you and the equinox? You could also look at this visually in your mind as two people standing apart and then see what the space between looks like to you - open, closed, partially open, partially close or warlike?

If you use a pendulum comfortably, you can look at your flow with the upcoming equinox that way too. If you love kinesthetic bodywork, you can use your hands to give you the flow news by assigning one hand as you and one as the equinox. Then, turn off your brain and let the subtle flow between your hands give you an idea of whether there is a tension pushing them apart or whether they feel compatible, drawn together nicely. You can, of course, do this for various layers of yourself too. For example, how will your emotional body work with the equinox? How about your subconscious self? How about your physiological body? How about your mental body?

Why look at these flows?   If we know there may be some flow snags happening, then we can apply our loving focus and desire to allow them to interact better / well. Flow snags are life snags - they will pop into our life as challenges - and our unique composition will determine the details of those challenges. By working on the energetic plane (sometimes called the etheric level) we can unlock our resistance and set the tone constructively wherever we find it is not looking smoothe and open.

Smell is not as on:   During this weekend we had a shift in smell as being a large factor. I can personally notice these quite obviously at times!   I rarely sneeze, but when nose/ smell turns on or off I will at times have a reaction that sets me off into a fit of sudden sneezes, sometimes as many as 15 in a row. If I didn't have a sense of the subtleties, I would definitely say it comes on quite unexpectedly and without any reason whatsoever. Since I do tune into the larger picture, I can tell you that these have been started by a shift in the landscape that relates to our nose or smell. I also have learned through the years that the sneezing fits are a process I take to acclimate if I am not acclimating to the shift well or if it comes on very suddenly. This probably happens about 5 times per year. Usually I can acclimate without anything noticeable but that is not always the case. It is very likely that we react physically when other facets tick on or off in our days as well.    Did you notice anything related to your nose or to how you reacted to scents on Saturday?    Even more so, is anything physical that you have experienced which felt sudden and/ or inexplicable coming to mind for you now, whether related to your nose or to any other part of your body?

If Smell is not as actively engaged this week, what main sense(s) are?   Touch is showing as very active this week overall, making this a fabulous week for all touch related healing modalities and for learning touch related modalities. For example, if you've been finding it difficult to gain the subtle sense of feel needed for kinesthetic bodywork, then this is a golden window to give that some more practice!

Earth Work  All thoughts and prayers are on Chile now with the earthquake devastation. In addition to this however I am also noting an even more incredible degree of potential for Earth connection and energy work than we had even last week.   (...and how much of this incredible potential went into the making of the earthquake in Chile? ...and also into the odd reaction of the killer whales at Seaworld this past week? )    This is far, far more than our average Earth potential.

Earth Work Offer  Got a feeling that part of your home or yard is harboring conflicting patterns that are affecting you or your family?   Please email me and if I sense I can help, I will aid you with healing this to the extent possible for a donation to Earth Alchemy.   This offer is being nudged by the incredible week we have for Earth connections however I make this as a long term offer.    I don't list my Earth healing work at EA, because it has not felt correct for me to offer this as a full service, but I actually began my energy work career working with the Earth.   It has been my priviledge to aid people with their home and property for both straightforward and more complex needs. I do this remotely (with success ) so there is no need to be present at your location. Contact Chris.

One rule of thumb for this is to make sure the scents are natural, such as fresh herbs, fresh flowers and pure essential oils. When you want to smell an essential oil, it's best to place one or 2 drops onto a cotton ball or other such place and then waft that past your nose. Smelling anything directly from the bottle is going to be far, far too much.

Recent Weekly Reports

Large Cycle Highlights:   A whole slew of important human points this week, beginning with Valentine's Day this Sunday (14th), Chinese New Year, also on Sunday and moving into Mardi Gras/ Carnival/ Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday for the Catholic religion on Tuesday and Wednesday.   With such a potent focus, we bring far more conscious awareness to the Body-Mind-Spirit connections than normally En Masse.   With the continuation all this week of incredible potential for Meditation and all things related to meditation, that makes this a wonderful week for all "delicate" healing work where we desire to truly work with the Trinity of main layers as one.

Delicate work is subtle work and also speaks of more easily working with core concepts that keep us from feeling truly vibrant.   Such concepts as fear of success, intimacy and especially anything dealing with staying here on this plane versus feeling we need to leave are the types of deep core patterns we might be more aware of to work with this week. The ethereal and the spiritual are more in our scope than normal.

Life Force:   This is a great week to spend some "fun time" playing with using our inherent sensory capabilities to feel life force emanating from ourselves, others, plants, animals, minerals and anyone else.   Everything has such a force emanating outwards in all directions and we can  pick this up if we practice it a bit.

One of the easiest ways is to start with something smaller, like plant seeds. Gather 3 or more packets of seeds - preferably you have some that are several years' old, and at least one that you purchased for the 2010 season.   Pick up one packet and then , using the other hand, allow that "sensing" hand to be pushed outward as you tune into the life force of the seeds. This feeling of being pushed outward is like how two north end magnets will push one another away, but more subtly. The action is in the airspace and your hand is going to move to the feeling you are picking up.

As you do each packet of seeds, compare the varying distances they move your sensing hand outwards.   When you get a feel for this invisible "push" of the life force, then you can begin applying this to your arm, to your leg, to others ...and you will likely note that you can indeed pick up a variance in life force of all your subjects! You will also want to do this for the foods you eat....and remember that if the life force of the food item is not at least as good as yours, that by eating it you are taking your light down instead of maintaining or building it. This is so very important if you need to rebuild. Unless you are recovering from surgery or have an illness that is debilitating it's not really all that necessary to make sure every item is so good - we can eat anything in moderation. I have personally found that keeping in mind the whole idea of life force, though, and how it applies to what we eat is a very good thing.

Notice Below.... that we seem to have a shift in the overall landscape coming up between Wednesday and Thursday. Notice how some of the categories shift during Thursday and Friday.  On Thursday the sun moves into Pisces for the next 4 weeks.
