“Readers of Troubled Moon are in For a Wild Ride. I couldn’t put it down….” Ms Gates
Dylan’s uncanny knack for journeying into alternative psychic realities invites encounters with spirits from subterranean depths. While balancing between occult and worldly realities of doom and hope, he struggles to unveil mysteries of the heart. His life is strangely intertwined with an offbeat cast of characters who walk in psychic realms and the shadowy side of San Francisco.
Excerpt:
…. Mark, Give that to me. I’s my magical stone.” she said in protest. She didn’t know why but a current of fear shot through her body. At the same moment the electricity went out and room became comletely dark. “give me my stone,” she repeated.
Dancing shadows filled the room from a glow that emanated from the stone in Mark’s hand. Its shape seemed to shift into what appeared to be the head of sphinx with luminous eyes that penetrated the darkness.
“Wow, it glows in the dark,” Mark said. “Is it some kind of crystal or is it plastic? Where did you get that thing? Mark strained his eyes to find her hand in the dark. “Oh crap! It feels like fire ants are biting my palm. Here, take it back before I drop it.”
Just as she rock slipped back into Camilla’s hand, she pulled away from Mark’s touch, and the electricity came back on.
“I found it in an old abandoned house,” she replied….

A tarot student once asked, “What does it mean if the majority of the cards in my tarot spread show the suit of cups?”
“It’s important to drink from the cup of love,” was my reply.
A different answer to this question can involve exploring the meaning of the specific cards in the layout. However, this question could also be answered by examining the the meaning of the symbols on the suit of cups. What are the cups communicating to us?
Traditionally, the suit of cups most often involves love, passion, and relationships. It’s identified with the element water, the emotions, depth of feelings, receptivity, imagination, the intuition, and the subconscious. When there is a predominance of the suit of cups in a tarot spread, its message involves a watery or emotional inquiry. It visually shows the importance of discussing your client’s heart-felt needs and puts their longings and desires in the limelight. Even if the topic of romance isn’t the main question being asked, the person receiving the reading may need to get more in touch with their feelings and the truth of what’s affecting their inner reality. Listening to feelings can play a strong role in decision making.
A majority of this suit in a spread can indicate that life experiences are triggering emotional reactions. If the cards are mostly upright and illustrate positive or heart happy images such as we mostly find on the ace of cups, I might ask my client if he or she is falling in love or seeking advice about an on-going relationship. When most of the cup cards in the spread are reversed, I may ask whether a relationship is in conflict or if there is tension invoked by emotional concerns. Is the person who is getting the reading suffering from the pain of loss, focusing on a past relationship, or quarreling with a significant other?
During the discussion of the potential meaning of the cup cards, it will become obvious if the person is anxious or secure, a victim or victor in love, and how you can best nourish your client’s sense of well-being. While viewing the spread to explore the path of the inner self, it may become possible to dive into the sea of the subconscious mind and find truths buried under the surface of conscious awareness. Most often, a key to unveiling the message of this suit is to inwardly question, “What are you presently drinking from the cup of love?”
Wishing you joy,

With the cosmic, current Pluto retrograde that has started May 4 in Aquarius, the sign of humanity’s brother and sisterhood, it’s possible to unexpectedly meet your shadow and wonder what direction to take in order to keep your mind and body moving in harmony with your soul sense of self. Don’t be surprised if you find your personal evolution accelerating during this retrograde that continues until October 13th, 2025.
Or, perhaps you may feel a larger than normal emotional overload, and begin a new search into the inner recesses of unknown subconscious territories. Practicing meditation or doing yoga, can help you feel more centered and secure within. Also, thinking about activities that benefit your well-being can inspire you to sense and trust your intuition and connect with your inner essence.
For me, my love for star gazing has me checking out the location and aspects among the planets to better understand life and my current emotions. But, whatever choices you and I may be facing, it’s only possible to move forward one breath at a time. In relation to life being unpredictable, a favorite meditation for our trying but enlightened times is simple: Breathe in love, breathe out fear…repeat, and continue to repeat while holding the intention that you are moving forward on your path.
Also, with our warming weather in the Northern hemisphere, it becomes easier to stay grounded by doing activities connected with Mother Nature, like walking in the sunshine, visiting water fronts, and letting love rule our personal sense of what’s coming around the next corner.
Wishing you radiant light and love,
Kooch

Psychic classes on the horizon...
by Kooch Daniels | Astrology
It’s an unusual full moon time with Saturn, sign of restrictions and limitations conjunct the Sun sitting in Pisces, sign of dreams, strong emotions, and the imagination. If you feel overcome by confusion or become lost in a psychic fog, listen intuitively to your heart’s desires to gain a better sense of direction. Besides the current eclipse changing the lunar vibrational frequency, Mercury retrograde begins on the 15th– the be extra careful day, the “Ides of March.” While navigating the potentially, uncertain ride through these celestial shifts, hold on to your trust that you’re gaining clarity and moving toward your perfect destination.
Affirmation: I am confident of my ability to ride the waves in the ocean of life and find my way to the shore of success!
