Recently I scrutinized my Astrological Natal Chart – again - in search of any Piscean influences. I mean, I am probably the most unromantic girl in town under normal circumstances but, lately I romanticise just about everything! This is real scary for an earthy girl like me and, long story short, I found no evidence that the planets are to be blamed. The conclusion that I have arrived at was simply that I had a taste of the empty nest syndrome. Horrendous!!!

For those of you that didn’t know, my son was in Holland on a Rotary Group Study Exchange Program, leaving me without my daily dose of mothering – perhaps it should be Smothering? Even my cats were getting annoyed at my constant need to be needed. Put yourself in my shoes for a moment – for 26 years you have enjoyed raising this loved creature, taking pleasure in every little step towards independence and suddenly, the little bugger can fly!!! Nogal better than his mama!!!

One consolation though, and this is something concrete that I know, I am entering my birth month and my cycle change is staring me in the eye. So, with or without my boy, the Universe is prepping me for the ‘washing machine’ – otherwise known as the cycle 3. In case you don’t know how to calculate your own, here is a brief summary:

1. Take the date of your birthday * mine is 22 June 2009.
2. Convert the month to a number * June = 6.
3. Add it up * 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 9 = 21.
4. Add the double-digit number * 2 + 1 = 3.

There can only be 9 possibilities and these are discussed HERE.

The weekly Qabalah courses are going well – as a matter of fact, we will be starting a new group on Wednesday 17 June. As usual, this will run over 12 weeks every Wednesday morning from 09h00 until 12h00. The cost will be R250 per session, totalling R3 000 over 3 months. I have had a few requests for an evening class and once the required numbers are there, we can collectively set a date and time. Please let me know if you or anyone you know is interested. Perhaps I need to make you aware that this course can also be presented at another venue. If you therefore wish to put a group together, I can do the travelling and together we can lessen the burden on Mother Earth.

Whenever I meet someone from the past, they frequently ask what is new in my repertoire. This question constantly reminds me to keep an eye on my history while I am preparing for the future. (I was gob-smacked when I heard that the tunnel between London and Paris was built with this technique at its core - they did not dig towards a spot but rather away from the starting point.) My personal Starting Point in my field was back in 1992 when I started my own business – bright eyed and bushy tailed. Today, 17 years later, I am older, more sceptical, much more knowledgeable, understanding, caring and wiser - and still bright eyed and bushy tailed.

Over the past 17 years I have acquired a skill that I am unable to name but perhaps I can explain. We manifest lives according to the way we think and feel about ourselves, constantly confirming our desire for it to be so. Most of us probably do so unconsciously, leaving us feeling inadequate, victimized and at the mercy of Life. Through various means, I am able to see this in a picture form and with your input; this picture can be manipulated to resemble a peaceful, content and fulfilled life. I call this a BLESSING and if you visit my website, you will see a picture of a Blessing of Abundance. I have decided to add this as a service to my clients. It is a time consuming process which necessitates an exchange that I will determine at the time of your request.

Like all things in life, cycles allow us to grow in some areas and to fade in others. The moon is the most important planetary influence in this regard and having had a Full Moon last night (June 7th), we are entering the waning phase today for the next two weeks; ideal for working on letting go of matters that are no longer primary in your life. The longest night in the year (June 21st) is also known as the Midwinter Solstice; happens to be the night of my birth and will bring us the New Moon on June 22nd; my birthday. I have no doubt that this is an important point in my life and equally important in yours. 

This cycle information that you have extracted from the above summary can be expanded when you add the date of today (8 + 6 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 9 = 25/7) and compare it with the appropriate Tarot Card. The 7th card in the Major Arcana is The Chariot and the 25th card in the Minor Arcana is the Knight of Wands suggesting that this day will be well spent reflecting on the trials of yesterday and preparing receptivity for success after difficulty. With a gentle log fire in the fireplace, the smell of chicken soup in the air and surrounded by my animals, I am spending this cold day doing just that. 

Please circulate this newsletter to others that you think may benefit from its content. Stay warm and take care.
