Wow! Time is flying by! We passed into the sign the sign of Sagittarius (Nov 22nd), Full Moon (Nov. 23^rd), have entered the Celtic Tree month of Elder (Nov. 25^th), about to celebrate Hanukkah (Dec. 3 – Dec. 10^th), and Mercury goes Direct on Dec. 8^th.

In the Celtic Tree month of Elder is contained the conflicting forces of good and evil. The Elder Mother originally, in many parts of the world, represented healing. For example, her leaves can be made into tea or used as an insect repellant. Carpenters like her wood, and her berries can be used in baking or dying cloth a very royal purple. A twig, if asked for first, will ban evil spirits and can be used as an amulet. The Elderberry flowers gathered and dried as the moon waxes from dark to full are powerful love potions. The berries gathered on Summer Solstice will provide protection from unexpected events, including lightning strikes.

Superstition hangs around Mother Elder also. For instance, in England it is believed that you must ask before you take a branch from the tree or your project is doomed. It is also whispered that if you place your baby in a cradle made from Elder you are inviting evil spirits to enter the child. Elder is also supposed to be the tree Judas hung himself from and the material used for Christ’s cross.  It is a beautiful tree, and, like life, you can pick and choose your own beliefs regarding it.

Today, I will be back at Creative Energy, the PURPLE store, located at 780 W. New Haven Ave, aka. Hwy. 192, from noon until 4:00 pm. The PURPLE peeps, Pamela, Vance, Aimee, and Alyssa have been busy little elves, and the store has taken on the charm of this holiday season. (I stopped in when I returned from California and was awestruck. Loved the new magic wands!) Readings are only $30 for 30 minutes. Stop by and visit all of us!

On Sunday, I will be selling my book, “Beyond the Fine Line,” at the Cocoa Village Art/Craft Fair. My book is also available on Amazon.com.

A reminder – tonight at 7:00 pm and Saturday at 2:00 pm Seussical will be performed by the Youth Theater at Surfside Playhouse, 301 Ramp Road, Cocoa Beach.

And a big BREAK YOUR LEG to Lori for her debut at Not Quite Right Improv tonight!

Later! Ciao!

Hello, Mercury Retrograde! Yes, Mercury Retrograde arrives today and I’ve decided to welcome it with open arms! Might as well, because we all know the technical glitches it will bring and the miscommunication tagging along with it, so why not just welcome it? Hello, chaos, my old friend, I’d like to welcome you again. This time I’m going to see if I can wrap every one of its misadventures in laughter. After all, it will disappear before the December holidays.

Besides, yesterday (Thurs. Nov. 15) Mars moved into Pisces, encouraging us to follow our intuitive guidance system, (what better way to deal with a Mercury Retrograde?), rather than the most direct route. Can’t wait to see the adventures this will bring to me!

On this fine, crisp day I will be at Creative Energy, the PURPLE store, located at 780 W. New Haven Ave., aka Hwy 192, Melbourne, from noon until 5:00 pm. Readings are only $30 for 30 minutes. I will be off to California on Monday, so I will miss celebrating Turkey Day with the PURPLE peeps, Pamela, Vance, Aimee, and Alyssa. However, they are busy changing the decorations for the December holidays. The calendars (I already purchased mine!), are amazing and so are the datebooks. Also, if you journal, (which I do), the new leather-bound journals are a must for your Holiday Wish List!

Just a reminder – this is the last weekend to see “Young Frankenstein” at the Surfside Playhouse, 301 Ramp Road, Cocoa Beach. There are two evening performances, on Friday, and Saturday, along with TWO matinees, one on Saturday afternoon and the other on Sunday. Evening performances are at 8:00 pm and the matinees begin at 2:00 pm.

Hippity Hop off to the Shop! Later! Ciao!

P.S. Don’t forget the Psychic Fair at the Book and Bead Outlet on Merritt Island, this Saturday and Sunday!!

Jupiter is happy and celebrating its return to Sagittarius after a twelve-year hiatus visiting all the other sun signs. Therefore, beginning yesterday, Thursday, optimism is on the upswing. Possibilities are now endless. The information that Jupiter uncovered while in Scorpio now becomes real evidence for accountability, for change, and a time to listen to our “wake-up” calls. It is also time to examine our ideals and inspiration, raising the bar on our spiritual beliefs.

Being as we are also in the Celtic Tree Month of Reed, we can exercise our flexibility, especially in our thinking. Remember, reeds are flexible and they are also protective.

This is a fabulous day to be at Creative Energy, the PURPLE store, located at 780 W. New Haven Ave, aka Hwy 192, Melbourne, not only because I will be there and available for readings (only $30 for 30 minutes) from noon until 5:00 pm, but also because there has been an incredible increase of new fairies and dragon babies in our Faerie Garden.  Every nook and cranny is filled with these joy-filled and delight-filled creatures. The PURPLE peeps, Pamela, Vance, Aimee, and Alyssa, have all assured me this increase is organic in nature and I am believing them!

The New Moon in Scorpio is still influencing us today, so be aware of your New Moon intentions as transformation, discovery, and being open to and seeking new perspectives will expand your awareness and consciousness.

Don’t forget to go and see Young Frankenstein (Frau Blucher! Neigh!) at Surfside Playhouse, 301 Ramp Road, Cocoa Beach, this weekend and next! If you want to experience this musical for free, call me to volunteer! (321-458-7956)

Later! Ciao!

Happy All Souls Day and Day of the Dead! Today is the first day of the rest of our lives! Wa-hoo! Today is also Opening Night at Surfside Playhouse, 301 Ramp Road, Cocoa Beach for Young Frankenstein! It is a fantastic musical! (I saw the Dress Rehearsal last night.) Come out and laugh! And if you want to see it for free, call me and volunteer!

Today is an amazing autumn day for visiting Creative Energy, the PURPLE store, located at 780 W. New Haven Ave, aka Hwy. 192, in Melbourne. I will be there today from noon until 4:30 pm, available for readings, only $30 for 30 minutes. The PURPLE peeps, Pamela, Vance, Aimee, and Alyssa will also be present, having celebrated the Holiday with outstanding costumes. There is so much new product in the store I can barely keep my wallet shut. The most fun item I saw, were the Magic Wands, that contain glitter and stars and are totally Blingy and Glitzy!

Mercury moved into truth-telling Sagittarius around midnight of Halloween (October 31^st). Sagittarians like to tell the truth but they often don’t think before they speak. Remember to think before speaking so your words are helpful and not blunt and hurtful. With Venus (relationships) also opposing Uranus (sudden change) thinking twice before speaking would be advisable.

Regardless of what is happening “out there,” be kind to yourself. Be mindful of what is being created by the words spoken, both externally and internally. Remember you are the most unique you to ever walk this Earth. Namaste!

Later! Ciao!
