Happy Beltaine! The celebration of the fertility of all life. A great time to begin new projects or new life. A time for planting seeds in our gardens and in the garden of our minds. Now is the time to plant optimism, joy, love, and happiness.

This weekend Mercury is trining Pluto on May 2^nd and Venus sextiles Neptune. A weekend of deep conversation and heart-centered activities. A deep intense focus on whatever makes your heart sing.

On Monday, May 3^rd, Mercury squares Jupiter. This can be inspiring, exciting, energy but it can also lead to the realization that we’ve over-committed ourselves. (More To-Do than can be done.) If that does happen, use this energy to focus on what gives you the most joy and bingo! Magic happens!

Monday also brings a square between Saturn and the Sun and Uranus. This could imply a challenge or an obstacle to our plans. This may mean a change in plans, or more waiting to proceed, or dumping the whole thing and beginning again. Don’t put up a fight. The pain and drama from the resisting is not going to change anything, so go with the flow like a dead fish would do.

May 3^rd is also a day to really listen to what we say so we do not insult or hurt another, by stating an unwelcomed opinion or truth.

On the positive side, Mercury enters its home sign of Gemini later in the day on Monday. Lots of communication, networking, creating, learning, and growing for the rest of the month before Mercury goes Retrograde on May 29^th. Be ready to begin multi-tasking!

On Thursday, May 6^th, Venus trines Pluto. The energy to put passion and intensity into our relationships, creative projects, or anything we focus on will be available. A Venus-Pluto also implies a deep trust and vulnerability as well as intensity and magnetic attraction. The focus will be on what we really love – let it be experiencing healthy desires.

A fantastic week to focus on growth, creation, and the joy of being alive. Use the time to fertilize the creative center of ourselves with love, joy, gratitude, and appreciation.

As always, shop local at Creative Energy and the Chacana Center, and remember I am only a phone call away.

Later! Ciao!

Happy Earth Day! (Belated) It’s been a while since I’ve blogged. The move to San Diego, in the middle of a pandemic, does some days leave me questioning my sanity, but then nothing ventured, nothing gained.

We are now in the Celtic Tree month of Willow, in the sign of Taurus, and approaching the Buddha Full Moon in Scorpio on Monday, April 26^th. The Buddha Full Moon honors the birth and enlightenment of Buddha. It will also be a Super Full Moon, meaning it will be closer to Earth, therefore, expect more emotional reactions, outbursts, stress. Full Moons in Scorpio are always good for breakthroughs and “aha” moments. This is the time to get off of auto pilot and get into this moment.

This coming week can be highly emotional. Mars enters Cancer today, April 23rd, so actions won’t be taken until “we feel like it.” Mars will remain in Cancer until June 12^th, so downtime, pauses, and the honing of our dependence on our intuition awaits us.

Tomorrow, April 24^th, Mercury and Uranus conjoin preparing us for change that could come from awesome ideas or news that points us in a different direction. Remember a box has walls, so think outside of it. This will be a great day for brainstorming, writing, and gaining insight.

On Sunday April 25th, Venus and Mercury square Saturn. What is or is not working in our relationships? Where have we placed our boundaries and are they pleasing to us? Why are we feeling disconnected?

There is a Stellium in Taurus (Sun, Uranus, Venus, & Mercury) that is in opposition to the Moon (Scorpio). This makes for an interesting time with Scorpio (trust issues and power) and Taurus (security and comfort) trying to make room for each other. For Earth Day there were seven planets in Earth signs.

Saturn (old) and Uranus (new) are squaring each other all year. This combo gives us the opportunity to find out what it is that makes us feel safe and with trust in our safety we can release what is now completed and ready to be released.

April 29^th will be a great day for nonlinear activities like writing, singing, any artistic or spiritual pursuits because Mercury will sextile Neptune.

The Celtic Tree month of Willow ties in well with this Full Moon, as medieval herbalists placed all willows, (willow trees and pussy willow) under the rulership of the Moon. Besides being considered magical, the Willow is considered to be a symbol of immortality and was planted in Chinese cemeteries.

Remember to shop local. Creative Energy and the Chacana Center both have products available for use in our personal way.

Also, remember I am only a phone call away if a reading or some counseling is required – (321- 458-7956). If I don’t recognize your number just leave a message and I will call back.

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!
