Happy New Year! A new beginning to another adventurous year! 2020 may not seem to have contained a lot of adventure, but we were invited, by the confinement, to partake of the adventure of finding our who we really are, what we really like, and with whom we really like to have on our adventures. For me, everyday is an adventure. I have found the most extraordinary thrills in the common, everyday explorations in my own home and neighborhood.

We entered 2021 with a Mercury-Neptune sextile that supports visioning, planning, and creating intentions. (How synchronistic is that?) If some of the ideas that have come to you seem more than you are willing to undertake at this moment, just write them down for later consideration. Remember, you can do anything! What you think about, you bring about.

On the 4^th of January, Mercury is conjunct Pluto. Detail loving Mercury with Pluto allows us to concentrate our efforts. A great time to complete unfinished projects.

On January 6^th, Mars leaves Airs for gentle, slow, earthy Taurus. Time to heal ourselves from energetic overflow from Aires. Be patient with yourself while you take care of YOU. Everything show be calmer once Mars is stationed in Taurus.

This week we are in the Fourth Quarter, the waning of the Moon. Time to prepare for looking inward next week with the New Moon in Aquarius. Mark Twain has said, “Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.”

We have moved into the Celtic Tree Month of Birch, “the tree of inception.” It sows itself – we plant our own seeds of inspiration within ourselves. It forms groves – we form rings of friendship and family. In the spring, it is one of the earliest trees to leaf – we all try to be number one in one form or another. It is said to be the preferred choice for witches’ broomsticks, and Siberian shamen still look for the scarlet, white-spotted fly agaric (magic mushroom) within its groves.

Remember to shop local! Creative Energy, 780 W. New Haven Ave., Melbourne and Chacana Spiritual Center, 2299 Sarno Road, Melbourne, both have delightful ideas for your spiritual journeys.

I am still available for phone readings even though I now reside in California. May 2021 find all of us living in joy. Later! Ciao!

Happy Veteran’s Day! It’s been awhile since I’ve blogged – have a lot of life happening right. My Father, who would have turned 100 today (November 11^th), served in the US Navy during WWII and Korea. Happy Birthday, Dad!

Mercury is now Direct. We’re in the intense, passionate sign of Scorpio. On November 13^th, Mars goes Direct. Finally, we will begin to move forward. Little by little. It will be a relief to everyone to quit running in place and getting nowhere fast. Wherever we set our intention it will be intense (Sun in Scorpio). Our communication will be direct and pointed. Use nice words, please (Mercury Direct). And we will finally see ourselves accomplishing something (Mars Direct).

On October 28, we entered the Celtic Tree month of Reed. It was revered in Egypt and Greece. Used in thatching roofs it provided protection. In its natural habitat it is flexible. This month reminds us to be flexible and to know that we are always protected.

I would like to invite you all to a “Til We Meet Again” party on Wednesday, November 19, at Kelly’s on Wickham Ave., in Melbourne. The band, Penny Creek, begins playing at 6:30. We will be practicing social distancing as much as possible. The party is a leaving party for me, as I will be moving to California at the end of November. If you plan to attend, please message or text or call me, so there will be enough wait staff available.

Happy Birthday to my nieces, Jessica (November 12^th) and Lindsay (November 13^th)!!!

Later! Ciao!

Wah-hoo! My play “The Kitchen Table” won First Place for the October Surfside Playhouse 10 Play contest!!

It will be performed on Zoom, on December 2nd, at 7 pm EST, on Facebook, Surfside Playhouse 10 minute Play Contest.  A video will be made and posted later.

Happy, Sappy Saturday! The Sun is in Libra and the Moon is in Scorpio. A good time to say what’s on your mind, but remember to use gentle words. Keep in mind that Mercury is Retrograde (October 13th – November 3^rd), so watch your communication.

If you can break yourself away from the Melbourne International Film Festival, held at the Oaks Stadium 10 Theatre, 1800 W. Hibiscus Blvd., Melbourne, come on over for a reading. I’ll be at The Chacana Spiritual Center, 2299 Sarno Rd, Melbourne, from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm. Readings are only $40 for half hour.

Please support the Oaks Theater. It is still open and showing some great shows, plus it has been a host for Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) for years. MIFF is celebrating 22 years of sharing the talents of filmmakers from all over the world with us. Last night’s drive-in show was a blast! It also featured a comedian and karaoke. Covid precautions are being taken.

Life is good. Celebrate it! Later! Ciao!

Happy Monday! Just a short post today. Life is good and the weather is changeable. Take a deep breathe. We’re in for a great week!

The last Visioning class for the year will be held at the Chacana Spiritual Center, 2299 Sarno Road, Melbourne on Thursday, October 8th, from 7-9 pm. Visioning is about engaging creativity at its utmost, embracing transformation, and saying ‘yes’ to the best within us. It is not visualizing. It is about learning to listen and catch “the eternal broadcast” from the mind of the Divine for intuitive guidance in projects both personal and professional. Preregistration is preferred. You can register on the Chacana Spiritual Center website or Facebook page.

Later! Ciao!

Welcome to October! Magically, the weather has become cooler, albeit only for a few days, but it does make us realize that autumn has arrived.

Currently, we have six, yes six, planets in Cardinal signs. The Sun is in Libra, our beautiful Full Moon is in Aires, and all the rest are in Capricorn. This is terrific energy to get going, be creative, make It (whatever you’re It is) happen. If we don’t use this energy creatively, we will find ourselves releasing it in Cancer – our emotional body. It will be pretty unsightly if we do.

The Full Moon on Thursday is the first one in October. We have our second Full Moon (a Blue Moon) on October 31stin Taurus. October should be a very interesting month.

On September 30th, we entered the Celtic Tree month of Ivy. Connecting ourselves to Ivy is thought-provoking. Ivy does not produce fruit and remains weak when it straggles along the ground. As it climbs a building or a tree it grows increasingly stronger, flowers, and produces berries. It does not harm the tree or the building it bonds with on its journey. If we follow the advice of Ivy and grow into unknown places, higher atmospheres, harming none, who knows where our journey will take us?

On Saturday, October 3rd, I will be available for readings at the Chacana Spiritual Center from 10 am – 2 pm. Registration can be accomplished on line, or by phone (321-610-1698), so your appointment time will be reserved, although walk-ins are always welcomed.

Life is beautiful and a new vista is available to us every day if we would only open our eyes and look.

Later! Ciao!

Hello! Here we all are again. The New Moon was in Virgo was yesterday, Rosh Hashanah, – the Jewish New Year begins tonight, (September 18^th), and the Fall Equinox is on September 22^rd. New beginnings are at hand this week.

We’re still in detail-orientated Virgo, so pay attention to the bits and pieces of your life, including your health, and your routines for maintaining good health. On Monday, Mercury squares Pluto, initiating deep conversations with secrets revealed, fact-checking, or profound insights. This can affect us in several different ways, either giving us a truth we find hard to hear or devotion to some type of communication project that takes time and effort to complete, but is worth the effort. Or receiving information that is in conflict with power or affects you on a deep level. This can be used for personal growth, so don’t deny it.

We move into Libra on September 22^nd, and now we begin to seek balance, harmony, cooperation, and connection. It is an air sign, so it loves to communicate. In its best aspect Libra sees both sides of an issue or conflict.

Mercury squares Saturn on Wednesday, September 23^rd, so heaviness is once again on the agenda. If you feel down or pessimistic or depressed on Wednesday, just try looking from a different perspective. Change your viewpoint! Look up instead of down. Then fast-moving Mercury opposes Mars (in Aires still).  This is not a great time for negotiations for we’re still reeling from the day before and although we may feel fiery, and hot under the collar, try to let the steam off through exercise or other physical activities.

This is a potentially crazy, out-of-control week, but now that you know you can change it and pretend to be a dead fish and go with the flow. Remember we are still in the Celtic Tree month of Vine, which is the Blackberry bramble bush. Often, in the spring, the dew may freeze on the blossoms of this vine. Those blossoms may die, but without the frost the berries won’t set.  The best advice for this week is to remember that what may appear to be threatening, more times than not, turns out to be a blessing.

Don’t forget to check out Page 11 on Horizonsmagazine.com for a short article I wrote. Also, I will be at the Chacana Center, 2299 Sarno Road, tomorrow, Saturday, September 19^th, available for readings, from 10 – 2 pm. And you can always call me for a phone reading or to schedule an appointment for Reiki! (321) 458-7956.

Later! Ciao!

Happy Saturday! We’re gearing up for our second New Moon in Cancer on Monday, July 20^th.  This weekend is a good time to be alone for awhile doing those comfort things that bring you happiness. Maybe baking or silently observing at a park would be the thing to do. With the Sun and the Moon in Cancer it is a time of deep reflection. There are four planets in water this weekend, so emotional deep reflection.

The Sun and the Moon in Cancer are also squaring Saturn in Capricorn. This means it is a great time for discipline. Learning to discipline our emotions. Saturn opposing the New Moon gives us the invitation to decide what is valuable and viable to us as we move forward. We are moved to take responsibility for some aspect of our life that we have been avoiding.

Wednesday, July 22^nd, the Sun moves into its home sign of Leo. It’s ok to be dramatic now but watch out for too much drama as we move into Leo. This is also a great time for romance, new projects, self- expression of all sorts and taking a leadership role.

This Covid plague has been a trial at best for all of us, and it appears that a “New Normal” really won’t be established until 2022. Many of us have been questioning what is next for me? What is my next step? To help with some of this confusion I will be facilitating a Visioning Class at the Chacana Center, 2299 Sarno Road, Melbourne, on Thursday, July 23, from 7 – 9pm. Visioning is not visualization. It is the asking and receiving of answers from your Higher Self. Please register on line at Chacana Center or on their Facebook page.

Life has been thrown us a curve ball and we are all waiting to see how it will unfold. Patience and love are the only paths to follow right now. Love yourselves. Love your family, your friends, and your enemies. Remember we are all One.

Later! Ciao!

On Wednesday, June 15th, at 7:00 pm I’ll be “Granny” in the play “Pizza, Honey?” It will be performed on the Surfside Playhouse Community Page on Facebook. Please join the Surfside Playhouse Community Page and watch! Thank you!

This is what I’ll be up on Saturday, July 11th.
