New Moon News, January 2021

First New Moon in 2021 sits in the Sun sign of Capricorn, the Goat.  Capricorn is linked with the planet Saturn, karma, lessons to be learned, hard work, money making, and morality. 

FINDING COURAGE IN UNCERTAIN TIMES     Finding courage to meet the challenges in present times is important to all.  Personally I feel the political chaos and Covid tensions in the pit of my stomach as burly knots.

 If you’ve been listening to current negative dialogues on social media and the news, and wondering what’s coming next, you’re not alone. Sifting through unknowns to find the truth in current affairs is a consuming process.  What can we do? Is it possible to recreate the good life?

Amma, the hugging saint from India, says to keep our inner flame of hope burning and let it bring light to the world. Being a Libra, I find myself balancing worldly concerns with my desire to follow Her advice. Taking a little time (or a lot) to meditate can certainly support feelings of optimism. Another tool in the self-preservation arsenal is the focus on positive affirmations.

THE ART OF POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS

For a New Year’s 2021 resolution I created a YouTube video to offer several ideas for creating positive affirmations.  In case you’d like a quick peek, here’s the link:  https://youtu.be/zlPXERd7Aj8

On the road again

On the road again

Just came back from presenting a Tarot workshop in La Paz, Baja Mexico. I was blown away as I made it to our workshop environment. Victor and I were presenting at a conference center that was way too beautiful to imagine. OK…I can do this…No problem for a seasoned Tarot workshop presenter to go to work at a 5 stars grand hotel. After all, I’m looking out at the Sea of Cortez and watching whales jumping in the waves. My optimism surfaced as the sun warmed my winter ready bones.
Oh…what ???? Did I forget to look at the calendar to note that I was arriving dark of the Moon, Mercury Retrograde? Clinging to my trust in the goodness of my intentions to offer a candle flame of light, I forged ahead. Of course, my muses winked their knowing glance before they fled from view.
My class went well in rhythm with the ocean swells. Everyone was sooooo happy….but for one dear heart. She and I were like two ships going in opposite directions calling out to spirits from watery realms of shadows and insecurities.
How could I be so insensitive? I didn’t read her pain when I spoke of her earnest comment as an example of how to create problems when giving a reading. Her bold spirit let me know that I was inept at understanding her or speaking her language. She wanted me to know that I was failing at relating to her culture, that I sucked at understanding the issues of her lesbian identity. (But in my self defense…I’m open to gay lifestyles. Living in San Francisco bay area, one out of two readings I give are for people who are gay.). However…. Nothing I said was OK in her book of knowledge.
Such a plight that I’m sharing with you, my invisible audience. How do I know if I’m being judged as being right or wrong? You weren’t there to witness the tension in the air, or the problem of addressing potential problems that jump innocently into interactive dialogue.
I guess…I’m letting you hear a story of how shadows can dance on our soul in ways that we can’t predict. We can only give our best, be who we are, and strive for a successful outcome. Learning comes in many shades of black and white.
Wish me luck….I’m on my way to give another Tarot workshop.
