The aura is an invisible field of electrical energy surrounding and extending from the physical body. It’s like a halo, but it surrounds your entire being.
The aura contains energy patterns, comparable to invisible finger prints, that radiate from our thoughts and deepest feelings. Within it, our physical health, past memories, future hopes and desires appear as holograms dancing within light and dark rays of light floating in the space near the body.
Just like taking a morning shower makes you feel fresh and ready for the day, cleaning your aura helps cleanse and release energy carried in your body’s electrical expanse. Cleaning your aura can help you feel lighter and brighter.
Here are twp ways to cleanse your aura:
Obtain a sage bundle, and find some healthy fresh outdoor air. As long it’s safe to light a match and ignite your smudge stick, do so. Verbalize a positive intention for releasing all negative energy from your inner and outer being. It’s time to let your sage bundle get to work. Let its smoke mingle with your energy so that it cleansing smoke floats all around you. Start smudging on the eastern side of your body (sun rise) and continue in a circle until you arrive at the western (sun set) of your body. Vocalize positive, self-love messages while smudging.
Another way to ground energy and cleanse your aura is to take a bath or shower with salt scrub. Be gentle with your body, say a prayer, mantra, and set an intention for releasing anything negative that lingers near or within you. Your scrub is for healing your energy of all impurities. Use a natural salt scrub or salt grains from your cupboard. Be gentle with your body and inner spirit. Let your aura cleansing be a special time you give to honor your self.
Happy Springtime wishes,
Taking life with a grain of salt!

Sending love to all!
The challenges in our current times are huge. I don’t need to write about the pandemic or ugly war. We’ve all been facing these realities long enough to wish for these plights to be over. Trying to make sense of the suffering of humanity makes it easy to get caught in an unending river of tears. I keep hoping this horrific war is just a bad dream, and soon I’ll wake up on a tropical island with fresh coconut juice in my hand reading news of universal peace and healing of Mother Earth. Of course, my dream has me strutting my long-gone, twenty-year old body and showing it off in my itsy-bitsy, tiger stripped bikini.
Our interconnections with all sentient beings lives in the substratum of our being. We are a one world family. It’s hard to ignore the suffering of others when we share the same collective awareness. Swami Muktananda said, “When you see something bad, where does it really exist. Does it exist in that person, in that place? . . . Or in your eyes? Think about this.”
A final note: If you’re feeling anxious, it can be helpful to recall a happy memory and a feeling you associate with it until it brings a smile to your face. Meditate on this memory and feel confident, happy, and strong.
Wishing You Victory and Peace

Love Forecast—by Kooch
Aries: What a beautiful heart and mind you have! Think about what it means to be open to new possibilities and/or becoming more romantically available. Communications with others may kindle a surprise. Keeping your sense of humor helps keep things upbeat.
Taurus: Voice your heart’s truth with more optimism. Enthusiastic or not about wearing hot red undies, your Venus ruled nature has the power to attract love and/or make romance sizzle! Intimate discussions may be on the dinner menu.
Gemini: Get out of your head and into your loving heart. Think playtime and visualize positive outcomes. It might be a good choice to be in the fast lane when driving on love’s highway. Of course, it’s always good to check your brakes, and slow down, if needed.
Cancer: Find your key to open the door to your happiness. Most likely, it’s sitting in a safe place where you last put it. Get clarity about what you want. Nothing like the present to celebrate your emotional choices. If you aren’t satisfied, it’s a perfect for planting vibrant seeds of hopeful possibilities.
Leo: As zodiac royalty to the stars, you are charmed with a reputation of being a great lover. This exalted potential bodes well for emotional communications and intimate connections. Purr loudly to inspire Cupid to sing his ballads of love and if it feels right, sing along!
Virgo: Take time off from over-thinking or being critical minded of your emotions. Find some fun-loving play clothes and put on your big smile. It’s the season for diving deeper into passion and enjoying candle lit dinners. If you’re not in a relationship, keep upbeat about finding one, (only if that idea pleases you).
Libra: Your blessings are abundant. Take time to enjoy them without worrying about what tomorrow may bring. A loving attitude can help you keep your inner equilibrium, no matter what is or isn’t happening in your life. When in doubt, call on your sign’s ruler, Venus, goddess of love, to guide you with her helping hand.
Scorpio: Your big heart is always within reach of love, and your intuitive energy has an irresistible charm. If you let past memories get in the way of present possibilities, you might miss an opportunity to swim in the River of Love. The sun is always shining, even if clouds temporarily block its light.
Sagittarius: Take time for singing songs of love and let your inner child come out to dance the tango of romantic possibilities. Trust that you can always find time to fulfill ambition’s dreams if you make happy choices a priority. If you don’t feel the need to do anything different, you’re the zodiac free thinker, so don’t worry about it.
Capricorn: Your earthy nature is perfect for designing a garden of love’s enchantment. Take time to plant positive seeds for your dream’s fulfillment and weed out thorns of unhappy thoughts. The right time is right for your efforts to yield a harvest of success.
Aquarius: Your kind, humanitarian heart, and adventurously fun, flirtatious smile are your tickets to winning success in the world of infinite possibilities. Stay warm by connecting with friends who enjoy singing love songs that warm the heart. Your best time for happiness is now.
Pisces: Now is the best time to swim in the River of Love or find the right space where you can be comfortable playing in its waves. Navigate strong emotional currents with your potent intuition and understanding of what choices are best to make. At a certain point the future becomes the now, so stay connected with your inner truth that knows how to make you smile.

Looking for a good Tarot book? Check out my review:
…
Tarot in Motion, A Handbook to Embody Wisdom through the Cards by Miriam Jacobs is an insightful and delightful, info informative guide to combining the meanings of the 78 cards with movement. Actually, her book offers much more than Tarot wisdom even though the cards and their links with the body are its primary focus. Miriam offers useful information on chakras and gives Tarot/astrological references.
…
Miriam empowers her readers to discover ways to get physically involved and experience the cards through dance, music, art, yoga, ceremonies, rituals, holidays, and much more. Here’s one example: Her discussion on the pagan holiday, Imbolc, that occurs February 1, includes details on its historic background. She states, “early Christians knew Imbolc as St. Bridgit’s Day for the saint associated with fertility. It was also called Candlemas, from fourth-century Greece, when candles were lit to symbolize the return of light…” For this ancient holiday she also offers an intention (perhaps to repeat or revise for your own benefit), questions to ask yourself to connect with the meaning of Imbolc, special material to bring (to your celebration of this holiday), and offers other possibilities. Her one suggestion that I most want to follow advises, “Include playfulness in your dances to connect with the maiden within.” This is especially relevant to my life as I’ve given up the custom of jumping over the candle flame to heat my inner fire of fertility (an old Celtic ritual that I followed in my youth.)
…
While reading Miriam’s book, you’ll be guided on a remarkable journey to connect with the cards in a personal way. Her interpretations are rich with meaning, and she gives demonstration spreads to help you work within or work with your clients.

Full Moon in the Sun sign Cancer is 3:48 pm PST, January 17. Called a wolf moon as this is the time of year that wolves are most vocal. It’s time to howl in moonlight.
Today, if we can look up in the night time sky we can see the full Moon in the constellation Cancer, zodiac sign of the crab. This sign is governed by the Moon, symbol of the feminine nature, our physical and/or divine Mother, domestic energy, emotions, imagination, intuition, dreams, and empathy.
On full moons we can dive more deeply into our sensitivities and feel our emotions on deeper levels. It’s said that during the full moon, it’s easiest to open our third eye and use our intuition. Our awareness is sharpened and our logic can be in direct communication with our heart’s truth. This awareness is opposite what we may experience during dark of the moon when shadows may hide our truth, or make it more difficult to see clearly.
To describe the energy of the full moon, I’m sharing a quote from my Mystic Spirit Tarot Playbook: “…the Moon reflects sunlight and brightens nighttime darkness. Its luminosity influences the feminine cycle and its magnetic currents penetrate watery depths and keeps ocean waves in ebb and flow motion…”
If you are searching for answers, it’s a great time to look within and ask yourself questions to achieve more clarity. If you’re not feeling up to a dialogue with your inner self, you might wait til you’re getting ready for bed, and then ask your subconscious mind to search for answers in your dreams. This request can be presented in an affirmation, such as:
“I’m safely in touch with my subconscious dreaming self. I am open to receiving guidance to find the best answer for my personal well-being. My question is: (ask question.). I give thanks for my guidance and clarity.”
Whatever words you might use in an affirmation, say your words in a positive manner. It’s an ancient practice to take advantage of the moon’s powerful energy and set intentions to harness its energy to activate success.
For those born on the 2nd, the 11th, or the 20, in numerology, your birth day number equals 2. 2 is the number that corresponds with Moon and therefore, if I was doing your numerology chart, I would say you a child of the Moon and have a lunar personality. When looking at major arcana Tarot cards, the second card is the High Priestess who is closely linked with the Moon. You might want to look at her symbols to see if you can identify with the power of this feminine wise woman who is known to point to priorities, truth, and your right direction.
Wishing you all the best,
With love,
Kooch
