Happy January and First Full Moon of This Year
Full Moon in Leo, sign of the celestial lion, is upon us. It’s element, fire, intensifies desires and ignite passions to help them grow and glow. Its solar heat is reflected in its polarity, the sign of Aquarius which is currently in the astrological spotlight.
On January 22 Pluto entered Aquarius, the water bearer, to bring forward the dawning of cultural and global consciousness. You can expect to feel transitional WTF as we all adjust to hearing new voices screaming for peace and planetary awareness. On Sept. 3 it returns briefly to sit in Capricorn, sign of karmic lessons, tradition, and mature authority, when you can expect to see some of the same old, getting older all the time patterns of patriarchal dominance. Then on Nov. 20, 2024 Pluto waltzes back into Aquarius to kick butt and bring in the revolutionary spirit for peace and freedom (sorry Klaus) as it gathers momentum to leave for Pisces on March 10 2043.
Because Pluto is slow moving, the lessons it brings highlight the fine-tuning of generational perspectives that can last a life time. Wherever you sit on the evolving wheel of life, you can expect change, cleaning debris out of your psyche’s cupboards, the failing of false communications, and the destruction of useless initiatives. Hold on to your optimism, as these changes can bring an increase in clarity, opportunities for positive mental resets, and if luck is with us, overflowing happiness.
The new year is young and so are you, so go find some fun ways to celebrate. With Pluto moving into Aquarius your life is going to be shifting in some out-of-the-norm ways.
Best of life’s blessings,

Did someone say play? Now that Jupiter and Mercury have gone direct, let the new year begin.
Happy 2024!
Searching for the mystical in the dawn turning to day, the night’s darkness turning to light.
Our 2023 wild ride on The Chariot numeric vibration has turned from 7 to 8 in 2024, and flipped over the Tarot
card Strength to sit upright on our collective table of fortune. If you rightly play the game of life,
this bodes well for owning your strength to overcome obstacles, protecting your psychic space, and increasing the light of your awareness.
Sending you wishes for happiness, good health, a smiling heart, and all good things in your new year!
Warmly,
Kooch

Happy Solstice
.
Please….don’t shoot the messenger (Mercury is the Cosmic Messenger of the gods), but Mercury retrograde is upon us. It’s best to prepare your must have survival kit:
– a flexible mind
– letting go and going with what is–at least until you sort out ultimate options
– waiting until after January 2 to make long term commitments
– not going into emotional panic if someone doesn’t understand you
-staying calm in your heart centre when being confronted by retrograde issues (travel plan upsets, miscommunications, anger or gossip issues.)
.
Also setting intentions for being the best person you can be is a plus for calling in the spirit of hope. Even if you’re focusing on bad weather or holiday frustrations, you can still look forward to the coming year and ever-new possibilities. If reading the stressful news makes you tumble into a downward spiral, turn your attention elsewhere. If we worry too much, we have to work harder than normal to stay upbeat. Praying for peace in the world is like lighting a candle in the dark.
.
Sending you joyful wishes for the coming holidays and a wonderful, new year.

Ode to Halloween Madness
Halloween’s blood bright moon shines over crypts
Of transformation and emotions unexpectedly rising
From tombs of memories unburied by awakening dreams.
It’s auspicious to bring a candle to your table and replace
Fear with trust in your light’s power to overcome darkness.
.
.On a more serious note:
Now is the perfect time to set intentions as feelings and soul connections are moving into crystal clear focus.
For your well-being and the benefit of those you love, move forward with love and kindness,
and don’t carry the weight of the world on your shoulders.
.
.Memories are made of this:
On a frightful Friday the 13th experience was a romantic evening of doing readings sitting at a gypsy table secluded in the back of a party boat. I heard a loud thump under me when the boat hit a log and lost it’s rudder. All of a sudden we were all aboard a floating cork in the San Francisco bay with the Coast Guard circling with spot lights through the tuxedo clients who began to guzzle large tumblers of champagne and putting on their life jackets. Fast forward: The last man who I had read wouldn’t get off the boat without me. Everyone had walked the plank to board the coast guard boat but this adoring a-hole…well…he was so worried about me that he made a big stink that I shouldn’t be left behind. (I’m like…where can I hide). The next day (I stayed on the boat and it was towed to dock) I had a call from the owner of the fleet of commercial vessels telling me that his client reported me for being a hooker…and I was never to set foot on any of his boats again. I’m sure the gods were having a great laugh watching that one.
.
..Putting away my reading crown for a bit to work on another book. Fingers crossed…not that I’m superstitious…of course not.

Only love,
Kooch

PS: Troubled Moon is a perfect read for the thinning of the veil.

Timely Insights:
Listen to your inner lion roar. How loud is it? Is it complaining or celebrating? It’s a good time for heating up your heart’s desires. Celebrate your unique gifts that make you special. Yes, you’re special, and yes, it’s the perfect time to celebrate (and share) the fragrance of your delicious, earthly essence! If you woke up feeling like singing and dancing, it might be because the Sun is in this cuddle-love-bug, fiery sign of Leo, royalty of the stars Time to let your passions roar!
Hold on to your heart strings! Venus is retrograde from July 22 to Sept 3. It’s really important to focus on sharing love. If you recently cried, screamed at a love one, felt overly emotional, needed to vent…just blame it on this tear jerking retrograde, and truck on with a hopeful sense of what tomorrow will bring.
New Moon in Leo Aug. 16. Its light is gentle like a purring cat, yet strong like a pouncing lion. Ride its positive energy to accelerate your success.
Time for opening the Lion’s gate portal til Aug 13. Toss the dice and put your energetic bet on manifesting your dreams. Healing and hopes or fears and drudgery can be heightened with singular focus. Gamble wisely with your perspective.
When Sun leaves Leo on August 23, Mercury goes retrograde til Sept. 15. Remember: When and if the doo-doo hits, know that this too shall pass. Mercury is linked with the Roman winged messenger of the gods known for wisdom, healing, travel, and commerce. May its potent energy protect the hard-earned privileges of your mental freedom and the pursuit of the good life.
“Now is the time to know that all that you do is sacred. Now, why not consider a lasting truce with yourself and God. Now is the time to understand that all your ideas of right and wrong were just a child’s training wheels to be laid aside when you finally live with veracity and love.” Hafiz
Tarot
Keep celebrating your many blessings….That’s what Summer Solstice is all about—-Known as Liltha, a high, holy day in early pagan times, one of the eight sabbaths that celebrates the turning of the yearly wheel of life. Because summer holds the greatest light in the Northern Hemisphere, it has timelessly been honored for its life giving radiance of light and love. What might be perceived as “negative” can transition into the highest good for your spirit’s evolution. Keep your mind and heart open to this possibility and trust in the power of solar illumination to shine on your good fortune.
You definitely have a sixth sense. Explore how to best use it and keep your third eye of wisdom open whenever possible. It’s available to use if you believe you have it. When it feels right go with your instincts, especially when they align with your heart’s truth. With a little confidence you can use your intuition to help empower your potential to resolve the challenges in life and make the right choices.
When times are difficult, don’t let darkness destroy your hopes. The up and down rhythms of the Cosmic evolutionary play of light and darkness are a natural part of life. (Portrayed in the Tarot card The Chariot being pulled onward by white and black forces.) Every shadow eventually fades into light, and the lessons that we experience move us forward on the game board of life. Problems can act as neon arrows that point to the importance of living the best life possible and honoring how special you truly are.
May your summer bring you abundant happiness.

PLANETS ARE MOVING:
This spring birthed a huge planetary shift. Pluto–sign of change, transformation, the subconscious–moves from Capricorn, the sure-footed, dolphin tailed goat ruled by Saturn, (karmic lessons, responsibility, hard work, mature thinking, restrictions, values) into the humanistic, revolutionary, freedom minded air sign of Aquarius, the Water Bearer. This shift is extremely significant as Pluto, symbolic of rebirth and Hades, daring god of the underworld, will be sitting in Aquarius for the next 21 years until 2044 (except for a little trip back into Capricorn). Simply said, hold on to what’s dear to your heart. You’ll grow toward greater understanding of your role in the scheme of things by being flexible to evolutionary shifts in the efforts of humanity.
QUESTION CONCERNING CARD READINGS: Does a person’s mood affect their Tarot reading?
Answer: Moods, or your emotions may not affect the outcome of your reading, but they will certainly affect how you feel during your reading. If you are in a cheery mood, you will interpret your reading with a carefree attitude. If you’re feeling low energy or loss, your interpretation of the cards and your reading will have serious overtones because of the way you feel. Since the Tarot is a tool for enhancing your understanding of life’s myriad concerns, it is possible to receive information during a reading that can help you gain insight into how to change from a low mood into a better state of mind.

READINGS AND WORKSHOPS
Astrology
Single and looking for love, madly in love, or falling in or out of love, Valentines is a time that brings love to the forefront of our attention. How can we not get upset if no one brings rings our emotional doorbell or brings us flowers? If chocolate is special to your heart, one way or another, you can surely find some to nibble. Best to remember that whatever your situation, love springs forth from within. Self-love and imagining yourself being love instead of seeking love, makes Cupid’s day sweet, no matter what your situation. Oh, and by the way, I’m sending thoughts of love to you from my little corner of the world.

Intuition
When you start an inward intuitive or spiritual journey, one of the first steps is introspection or meditatively looking within. We have to be open minded to working on ourselves and try, try, try to remove any negatives that distract us from being centered. Why do we need to unburden ourselves from negative thinking? Because we ourselves carry the weight of its heaviness as we become distracted and drained by its adverse energy.
Our attitude can release our mind from the shackles of anger, fears, doubts, and the ills of negativity. Each of us has the capacity to let go of the suffering and move toward lighter and brighter considerations. To evolve consciously or awaken one’s intuitive abilities is a wonderful to imagine, but it doesn’t just happen without putting forth some effort.
First step: Introspection
Second step: Removing obstacles that create barriers to feeling centered within.
Third step: Stepping into strength and confidence.
If you’re making New Year’s resolutions, you might want to consider owning your power to merge with the light. Become kinder to yourself and listen to your inner angels, guides, sages, shamans, or any other optimistic voice that tells you to lighten up in the new year. When we listen to news on TV, reels, or other social connections, they are often filled with the plights of the suffering. To have a better chance of not sinking into anxieties, we each have to hold on to our inner light with optimism. You won’t only feel better, you’ll be making the world a brighter place wherever your light goes.

Good Fortunes Always,
