Good Morning! Today is the last day that Jupiter, the planet of expansion, big plans, and high ideals is in fun-loving, spiritual, Sagittarius. Tomorrow Monday, December 2^nd it moves into Capricorn for a year. This means that it is time to make plans and follow through, as limitations are imposed on Jupiter, and now is the time to make things real. We already have Pluto, Saturn, the South Node, and Venus in Capricorn. Serious reigns in transformations, structure, karma, and relationships already. If we make good use of this energy, we will reap good rewards.

This week brings shifting energy as Venus conjuncts the South Node (Node) on Monday – old relationships popping up, relationships ending or old relationship issues showing up again. On Tuesday, Mercury sextiles Pluto – say ‘Hello’ to hidden things that put a spin on everything. Also, Venus connects with Mars on December 3^rd, passion and creativity mixing with the manifestation energy of Capricorn and some really tremendous results can happen.

Today, tremendous results are happening at Creative Energy, the PURPLE store, located at 780 W. New Haven Ave., aka Hwy. 192, in Melbourne. This is the place for all your creative gift-giving! The PURPLE peeps, Vance and Alyssa, will be available to help you fulfill the challenge of finding the perfect present for that certain someone (or yourself). I will be available for readings from noon until 5:00 pm or so.

Don’t forget my book, BEYOND THE FINE LINE, is available at another small shop, Cocoa Beach Essentials, and is delightfully small and flexible enough to be a stocking stuffer!

Gotta run! Later! Ciao!

Gobble! Gobble! What a wonderfully gratitude-full day, my Thanksgiving was! I hope yours was as well. We moved into the Celtic Tree Month of Elder on November 25^th. This tree was very revered in all parts of Europe, Northern and Southern. Permission from the tree herself had to be asked before a twig could be taken or great misfortune would occur to whatever the wood was used for. In Ireland, it was even forbidden to take any of her branches. Elder’s leaves can repel insects, its berries make fine wine and deep purple dye, and carpenters favor it for its close grain.

Mother Elder was so revered that the early Christian church had to cast it into ill-repute by declaring it was the wood used in Jesus’s cross and that it was the tree Judas hung himself on. Because of this campaign, the reputation of Lady Elder is mixed, although her healing ability remains.

The Moon is in Capricorn and the Sun is in Sagittarius this weekend. Lots of athletic energy abounds within us. There are also four planets in Capricorn but with the Sun in Sagittarius we will want to move. This is the energy that makes you want to wiggle in your seat and get up and walk around. Use this creative inventive energy!  What are you willing to create that you will take a risk for? What can you be thankful for? This is a weekend of high energy with focus. Use it to your best advantage.

Today, I will be focusing my energy at Creative Energy, the PURPLE store, located at 780 W. New Haven Ave., aka. Hwy. 192, Melbourne, from noon until 5:00 pm. The PURPLE peeps, Pamela, Vance, Aimee, and Alyssa, will be focusing their high energy into assisting you in finding the perfect gift for someone or for yourself. Remember supporting a small business is supporting our community!

As a side note, another small business, in Cocoa Beach, “Cocoa Beach Essentials”, is now carrying my book, BEYOND THE FINE LINE. So if you are up in that neck of the woods, stop in, and support them. It is a lovely little shop that recently opened.

I’ll leave you with a quote from the astrologer, Debra Silverman, “You know why we live forever? Because it takes that long to say ‘Thank You.’“ Namaste. Later! Ciao!

Welcome to the fun-filled energy of Sagittarius! The Sun slid out of the seriously brooding, but creative sign of Scorpio and into the fiery energy of Sagittarius today at 9:59 am Eastern. With the Moon in Libra, this will be a great weekend to party and have fun. This is because Sag’s know how to party and Libra’s have a great sense of humor. Also, Mercury is still in opposition to Uranus, mind opposite genus. A very yummy time to be had by all!

Today, I will be at Creative Energy, the PURPLE store, located at 780 W. New Haven Ave., aka Hwy 192, in Melbourne from noon until 5:00 pm. The PURPLE peeps, Pamela, Vance, Aimee, and Alyssa, are gearing up their gratitude ideas and are willing to share them in this wonderful month of Gratitude. There is so much to be grateful for and having a journal to enumerate your blessings every day is easy to find at Creative Energy. (The leather-bound ones are excellent!)

This is also the last weekend of “Curtains” at the Surfside Playhouse, 301 Ramp Rod, Cocoa BEACH. There will be four shows:  Evening performances on Friday and Saturday and Matinees on Saturday and Sunday. Tickets may still be available. You can order on-line or call the Box Office at 321-783-3127.

Later! Ciao!

If you are feeling a little on edge today, or asking what am I doing here, or why am I alive? Know that you are feeling the energy of the Universe. The Sun is in Scorpio, the seeker, the unconscious part of us, the sensual part of us, and the Moon is in sensitive, easily offended, Cancer. There is a total of four planets in water signs. No wonder we all feel emotional.

This watery, emotional state will last throughout the weekend. This is the time to examine your feelings. Smell fresh laundry, cuddle on the sofa with a partner, an animal, or an afghan. Explore your sensual self. We often neglect this part of our lives. This weekend, jump into the “feeling” of life. Choose to be here on this planet and in this life. Contemplate this world. What can I do to help, even though it hurts?

I will be at Creative Energy, the PURPLE store, located at 780 W. New Haven Ave., aka Hwy 192, in Melbourne, from noon until 5 pm. The PURPLE peeps, Pamela, Vance, Aimee, and Alyssa will also be there to greet you and to answer your questions. The calendar and day-timers are amazing this year. As well as some very well-tooled journals for you or for a friend.

Tomorrow is the Book and Bead Fair at the Book and Bead Outlet Store, located at 950 Courtenay Pkwy, Merritt Island. Call Chris at 321-453-2665 to schedule your appointment. I will only be there on Saturday, although the Fair runs through Sunday.

Off to the kitchen to make some coffee. Later! Ciao!

Saturday rocks! What a blustery day it is! This coming week Jupiter is still in Sagittarius, showing us that we are limitless in the possibilities we can choose. It also reminds us that WE are the only ones who put limitations on our possibilities. Use this energy daily, hourly for Jupiter will be leaving Sagittarius soon and moving into Capricorn.

While we’re in the Celtic Tree Month of Reed, it is an especially good time to use the Jupiter in Sagittarius, because we are more flexible. Being more flexible allows us to see from different perspectives more easily. Using that gift we can expand our lives and loves so we can fulfill our fondest wishes with little or no effort on our part.

Today, I will be practicing limitless possibilities at Creative Energy, the PURPLE store, located at 780 W. New Haven Ave., aka Hwy. 193, in Melbourne. The PURPLE peeps, Pamela, Vance, Aimee, and Alyssa have been limitless for years. The Faerie Garden has grown and the Faeries are roaming all over the store, not to mention the dragons, and unicorns and well, you understand. The Holiday gifts waiting for you are everywhere and are very, very real.

Late already. Gotta run! Later! Ciao!

I’m b-a-a-a-ck! Was out of town last weekend and had a great time. We slipped into the Celtic Tree Month of Reed while I was gone. The main message Reed gives us is to be flexible. And as this week we will be having a Full Moon in Taurus on November 12^th, while Mercury remains Retrograde, this is a perfect word/ability to keep in mind.

Mercury will be retrograde through November 26^th and is in the sign of Scorpio. We are being invited to look into our shadow side, the hidden parts we all carry and conceal. What are we avoiding or resisting in our lives? Isn’t it time to look at that and do something about it? Support is all around us if we just look around.

Retrograde Mercury also invites us to review, revise, reorder, reorganize, recreate. How can we use this in our lives? We can learn to use Mercury Retrograde and not dread it when this time approaches. It invites us to slow down, to consider what’s happening in our lives, and  asks do we want to reinvent them.

From November 9^th – 13, Mercury will be passing over the same aspects as October 13 – 19, so what was happening then? Is the next segment to that story happening now?

The Full Moon in Taurus will be on November 12^th (Happy Birthday, Jessica!) With the Sun in Scorpio, security will primary in our thoughts and actions.

Primary in my thoughts and actions today will be Creative Energy, (the PURPLE store), located at 780 W. New Haven Ave., aka Hwy. 192, Melbourne, from noon until around 4 pm today. Readings are only $30 for 30 minutes. The PURPLE peeps, Pamela, Vance, Aimee, and Alyssa will all be in attendance today and a fun time will be had by all. The new items arriving on a daily basis are mind-blowingly (Is this a word?) fantastic! Come in and visit! And check for the new faeries in our Faerie Garden!

Tonight, is Opening Night at Surfside Playhouse, Cocoa BEACH, for “CURTAINS”! Viewed it last night at Dress Rehearsal and it is very good. It is a musical comedic murder mystery. It only runs for three weeks so get your tickets today!

Happy Birthday, Jessica, Lindsay, Donna, and Joyce! Just a few of my Scorpio relatives and friends!

Gotta run! Later! Ciao!

Welcome to the New Moon in Scorpio! Brilliant! What do we keep? What do we release? What isn’t working in relationships? What old patterns of behavior must we change? Are we operating from fear-based or small desires? Can we see the bigger picture? Time to reassess our decisions and directions.

As we all know, the New Moon (11:38 pm) is the time to set intentions for the month and beyond.  With the Scorpion Moon in opposition to Uranus and Mars square to Saturn, we may feel out of balance, with surprises and possible roadblocks, that may shake our confidence, so just slow down and stay committed and on your path.

Today all paths lead to Creative Energy, the PURPLE store, located at 780 W. New Haven Ave., aka Hwy. 192, in Melbourne, where I will be available for readings from noon until 5 pm. The PURPLE peeps today are: Vance and Alyssa, who just may be in costume today. I know I will be because…

Today is the WITCHES BALL , at the UU Church, 2185 Meadowlane Ave., West Melbourne, 6pm – 11pm. They are asking for a $5.00 donation and a non-perishable food item or feminine product to be donated at the door. The Theme this year is, Day of the Dead, with costumes suggested. There will be live DJ music, vendors, psychics, potluck dinner (Bring a dish to include), Costume Contest, Raffles, Drumming Circle, and a Samhain Ritual will conclude the festivities. Also, the poster is awesome! Check it out at Creative Energy or Art and Beyond in Satellite Beach! I will be there doing readings, as will Maria Garcia Torano.

Oh, and don’t forget to back up electronics and to double-check any travel plans as Mercury goes Retrograde on Thursday, October 31^st.

May your day be joyous and your evening spent in the company of like-minded folk! Later! Ciao!

P.S. Happy Birthday, Rick Carrera!

Hola! Today is a drippy, rainy sort of day, excellent for introspection, and with the Sun in Scorpio opposite Uranus, that is exactly what we should be doing. Looking at what do we really want. There are four planets in Earth signs right now which also gives us the desire to ground ourselves. Use this energy. Find out where you are and where YOU really want to go.

On this delightful, sloshy Friday, I will be at Creative Energy, the PURPLE store, located at 780 W. New Haven Ave., aka. Hwy. 192, in Melbourne, from noon until around 5 pm. Readings are only $30 for 30 minutes. The PURPLE peeps, Pamela, Vance, Aimee, and Alyssa are getting prepared for Samhain and the store truly reflects this focus. Along with over our 200 Tarot and Oracle decks, there are calendars and day-timers (an antiquated term), and new books, and new Bee-Happy cards. It is over-whelming, but in a good way!

There is a New Moon on Sunday, October 27^th, in Scorpio. Passionate, focused Scorpio. This is also the day, of the Witches Ball at the UU Church, 2185 Meadowlane Ave., West Melbourne, 6pm – 11pm. They are asking for a $5.00 donation and a non-perishable food item or feminine product to be donated at the door. The Theme this year is, Day of the Dead, with costumes suggested.

Later! Ciao!

What a beautiful, blustery day! Getting the fringes of the storm is almost magical. Prayers, of course, to those in its path, but the dreamy, cloudy sky we have this morning is great for imagining and day-dreaming. This is a good thing for the Sun changes signs this week moving from Libra, the great balancer, into Scorpio, who wants us to be clear about what to release so we can have a clearer picture of where it is that we see ourselves in the months to come.

Today, with Mercury sextile Pluto, is a great day to be a seeker. Pluto seeks what is hidden and Mercury asks the questions necessary to uncover what is being sought. On Sunday we have another sextile between Venus and Saturn. If we’re clear about our intentions we can deal with financial stuff and relationships, but this is also a great day to become clear about ourselves and give our self-esteem and creativity a boast. And Monday, October 21^st, is a great day for romance (sigh!) with Venus trine Neptune.

The Sun slips into Scorpio on Wednesday, and this shift will be palpable. You will feel the energy change. Scorpio is passionate. It loves to get to the bottom of things. Because of its passionate nature, when we are in Scorpio, it is a great time to decide where you want to go, or to begin a new creation. Those who participate in NaNoWriMo, which begins November 1^st, will agree.

Today I will be at Creative Energy, the PURPLE store, located at 780 W. New Haven Ave., aka Hwy. 192, Melbourne, available for readings from noon until 5:00 pm. The PURPLE peeps, Pamela, Vance, Aimee, and Alyssa have a great amount of knowledge between them to help any seekers visiting us today. The new book selection is awesome! And did I mention we have OVER 200 decks of Tarot and Oracle cards?

Don’t forget, Group Therapy, will be performing Improv at the Cocoa Beach Library at 3:00 pm in the Jane Van Thron room. (And it’s free!) Be there or be square! I will definitely be there!

And the Witches Ball will take place on Sunday, October 27^th, at the UU Church, 2185 Meadowlane Ave., West Melbourne, 6pm – 11pm. They are asking for a $5.00 donation and a non-perishable food item or feminine product to be donated at the door. The Theme this year is, Day of the Dead, with costumes suggested.

Enjoy this blustery day, Piglet! Later! Ciao!     P.S. A sextile is an aspect of 60 degrees

Another airy-fairy day! The Sun is in Libra and the Moon is in Gemini. Two Air signs, so lots of conversation going on. They are also Trine (120 degrees from each other) so they are working together. If we find a lot of questions being asked, it’s just the Libra energy having fun. And if we have two conversations going on, even if one of them is in your head, thank you Gemini!

Today at Creative Energy, the PURPLE store, located at 780 W. New Haven Ave., aka Hwy. 192, in Melbourne, there will be lots of Air energy at play with the PURPLE peeps, Pamala, Vance, Aimee, and Alyssa, all participating. I’m looking forward to a lively day there as I will be available for readings from noon until 5 pm. Readings are only $30 for 30 minutes and what a great day it is for asking questions.

This Sunday, at 3:00 pm, the Improv troupe, (that I belong to}, “Group Therapy”, will be performing at the Cocoa Beach Library, in the Jane Van Thron room. An Art Exhibition is also being held there, making Cocoa Beach Library, this Sunday, a great place to gather culture and fun!

And don’t forget the Witches Ball on Sunday, October 27^th, at the UU Church, 2185 Meadowlane Ave., West Melbourne, 6pm – 11pm.
