Virgo Full Moon Inspiration

As a Virgo,  this Full Moon calls to me with greater urgency. Can you hear Her as well? I hear a clock's tick; precise, Virgoan. I hear Her call to be of service, to heal, guide, mentor ~ all Virgoan qualities.  Plus, let's not forget Her quirk of humour, like a glint of sun in the eye signaling fairy dust. In a Virgo time, we tidy up, we re-purpose, we organize, we de-clutter.
In a Full Moon Time, we acknowledge all that we've accomplished since the New Moon when we set our intentions for the month ahead.

Virgo is not a flashy sign, so do take advantage of this energy to make a plan and a list.
List 1: Your New Moon intentions.
List 2: All that you've accomplished since the last New Moon.
List 3: What you must release beginning Mar. 20 at the Waning Moon to make way for the upcoming New Moon.
List 4: Spring Intention List with plans for the entire year. *More about how to make this powerful in a special SPRING email.

Full Moon Lefty Oracle of the Month Card: Song

Song from the Lefty Oracle Deck by Kathy Crabbe (Full Moon in Virgo altar)

Song's Mantra: I contemplate.

Affirmation: I sing a song of joy.

Element: Earth

Song
I call to me a flower,
this poem,
this life,
this magic,
where gentleness and god/dess preside.

I pluck a song
of forgetfulness
and gently, 
so gently, 
move on.

When this card appears in a reading it's time to kick back and enjoy life for a while. Relax. Sing. Play. Chill. What restores peace to your soul? Do it. If you can't find peace then find quiet. Give yourself permissions to let your hair down, kick off your shoes and be yourself.

In my own life I see grounding and peace in nature, in painting and in meditationl. These feed me, so I make sure to include at least one of them in my day and hopefully all three.

New Moon in Aquarius: Sing Your Song Now!

New Moon in Aquarius -January 27, 2017

This is not a reading, a writing, a quote, a cliche, a story, a myth, a prediction, a platitude.
Instead, ask:
What can I do?
How can I be of service?
I AM a healer.
I change the world.
Sing YOUR song.
NOW.

Ulrica Could Handle Anything by Kathy Crabbe (from the Lefty Oracle Deck)

Lefty Oracle Card of the Month: Ulrica Could Handle Anything

Mantra: I am confident.
Affirmation: I can handle anything.
Element: Earth
Song
 I am simply
The BEST
Me
I can Be.

If you pull this card in a reading it’s time to get serious, take charge and get ‘er done! Put on your action cap or your thinking cap or whatever cap you need to help you focus on what’s important. If you’re a woman this may mean accessing your animus or your inner male – the part of you that thinks in a linear, goal focused way. Whether male or female take a moment to honour yourselfand recognize all you’ve achieved so far in your life.

In my own personal life I gain daily focus by writing a to-do list every morning after breakfast; a list that actually is do-able so that I can gain much needed satisfaction from checking things off a list.

Secrets
Her songbird was her totem, her blessing in disguise. She had secrets, told no lies, suffered no fools. She was dark and powerful and potent inside and when she was ready she would sing, but never for her supper. She preferred to walk alone amongst the stars she called home.

New Moon in Leo Inspiration 2016

Dear Intuitive Soul,

August's New Moon is in Leo and your oracle card inspiration this month is Sexy Sunflower. The excerpt below is from my Lefty Oracle Guidebook and soon-to-be published deck.

Year of the Sexy Sunflower: Get ready for a year of SHINE. It’s your time. Time you stood in the spotlight and acknowledged your truth and all you’ve done so far with your life. Be subtle or showy; what’s your style? Push yourself now to really put yourself out there in a BIG way. Let us all know about the best parts of you. What are your gifts and your greatest strengths? What adversity have you overcome? How many people or plants or animals have you helped? What do you love about yourself? Start with this and expand out. Make us care. Shine, sexy sunflower, shine bright!

In my own life at present I do my best to share my work and life online and I make sure that when I do I’m in a positive state of mind and post with love in my heart. If I post when upset, negative or depressed that energy leaks out into the world and returns to me magnified which helps no one.

NEW SITE LAUNCH! 
I've spent the last several months creating and honing my brand new website and it's ready to be unveiled now that Mercury is direct and Mars is direct and out of it's station...perfect timing! Enjoy!

Past Life Reading Sample : With client permission I've just posted this recent Past Life Reading along with a testimonial. The price for these readings will be going up in the fall.
