Healing Under a Cancer Moon

Time to emerge in the healing effects of Cancer Moon...

After experiencing a sense of restlessness this past week, I am looking forward to the peace and quiet of today's Cancer Moon. As the Moon rules the sign of Cancer, it feels right at home! Most of us will experience a strong feeling of belonging and safety under this influence.

This Moon position has much healing potential. Although insular by nature, our feelings run deep, making it an ideal time to get in touch with what motivates us.

The Moon in Cancer generally favors the following activities: Domestic activities, those that involve awareness of personal needs. Home decor, family get-together's.How will you take advantage of this Cancer Moon? 

As a reminder, I also do private, one-on-one consultations via phone and chat. You can either contact me via the Talk/Chat Now buttons on this page or set up a prepaid appointment time.

Internal Makeover: Digging Deep

Four months ago, back in April, the planet Pluto, ruler of Scorpio and the eight house, went retrograde motion. I wrote about what to expect during this period in my blog, Pluto-Retrograde Time for Internal Makeover, April 12, 2013. As a reminder, Pluto symbolizes renewal, reincarnation, and the deepest parts of our selves. This retrograde forces us to face our inner selves and confront the past or certain issues or habits in order to purge ourselves to make room for an new & improved version of ourselves.

On a personal level, this has been a difficult and challenging period for me as this transit as forced me to dig deep, pull out emotions buried deep within, relive past experiences, conduct a thorough examination, and begin the work necessary to release that which no longer serves my highest good.  As with any transformation or change, its a work in progress, and moving through this process continues to be quite the challenge.   Digging dig within and unearthing that which has been buried is scary, painful, emotional, and anxiety filled at times. However, I know that the only real path to transformation to the life changing makeover that awaits is complete and absolute destruction & rebirth.

 "We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, 

but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty. "  

~Maya Angelou~

Now add to the mix the full moon in Capricorn and a Cancer Sun back in June and we have a recipe for emotions run a muck. Cancer represents emotions, attachments & love, private life, the home, and nurturing whereas Capricorn represents public life, career, reputation, and achievements! Not surprising that we have all felt more emotional, sensitive, & out of whack this summer!

In accordance with the Pluto principle, we can’t really create anything new without first eliminating the old. In fact, it’s that very principle that makes natal Pluto more than just our astrological authorization to life-changing power. Have faith that after this period of transformation we will emerge a happy more balance person able to live a more loving and fuller life.  Feel free to share how this transit is creating change, challenges, growth, and internal makeover in your life.

You Do Not Have to Struggle Alone

"You no longer have to carry the load alone;

You no longer have to struggle with a greater burden that you can bear;

You have a loving all knowing compassionate God who loves you--

Accept His help."  ~Melody~

Imagine walking through a crowded airport.  You're late for your flight, and the wheels just broke on your over-packed suitcase.  With no other option, you're forced to carry the luggage and slowly maneuver through the congested lobby toward the ticketing area.  You cannot move without bumping into someone. Almost immediately, someone offers to carry your bags, but your pride won't allow you to accept help. When you realize the ticket counter is two levels up, you make your way to the stairs.  You realize it would be easier to take the elevator, but you are determined to carry your bags on your own.  

As you finally make it to the top of the steps, your arms feel numb from the pressure of your bags.  Your legs  are starting to buckle from the weight.  your back is aching from supporting the heavy load.  Then, you spot a collection of unused baggage carts.  But you ignore them, hurried and self-assured that you can handle the bags yourself.  Sounds rather silly and foolish for you to continue struggling doesn't it? 

Why would you prefer to carry such a heavy burden, ignoring every opportunity to lay it down?  God has beckoned you to lay your cares, struggles, worries, and burdens at His feet.  But when you fail to come to God in prayer, you appear just as foolish as if you were staggering with your bags through the airport.

Are you trying to carry a greater burden than you can bear?  Don't ignore God's offer to help--lay your burdens down, let God carry them.  The truth is, you really can't do it yourself, and God never wanted you to try.  

"After the storm passes, open your eyes to see God's message of hope." -Melody-

Love Yourself First

"Whatever you are doing, love yourself for doing it. 

Whatever you are feeling, love yourself for feeling it." – Thaddeus Golas

It's no secret that we tend to look for flaws within ourselves and that we're our own worst critics. We always find something that we don't like and even catch ourselves saying, "I'm not good enough, not beautiful enough, not thin enough, not smart enough." Often times we tell ourselves that if we do X, Y, and Z we will be able to love ourselves. "Over the next few months I will lose weight, become a better person, change some bad habits, and then I can start loving myself!."

Nonsense! The time to start loving yourself is NOW! The simplest way to begin loving yourself is to start by saying it! In order to surround yourself with self-love and create a bubble of love you need to learn how to say, "I love you" to yourself! You can do this silently but it is more powerful when you actually speak the words, "I love you" out loud to yourself.

Make saying, "I love you" to yourself part of your morning ritual--look into the mirror and say out loud to yourself the words, "I love you". This may sound awkward or strange in the beginning, but over time, these three powerful words will make all the difference in how you feel about yourself. Everyone needs to hear that they are loved and cherished. Stating, "I love you" to yourself is affirming that you are a child of God worthy of love.

Do it now! Start today! Do not wait to lose weight, get the new job, or to find the new relationship! Start today and do the best you can do. Look into your eyes often. Forgive yourself while looking into the mirror--express a growing sense of love you have for yourself. At least once a day say, "I love you, I really love you!"

Today's Nourishment:Today I look in the mirror and tell myself I love you. I embrace myself and allow myself to feel love and warmth. I surround myself with a bubble of love--starting with telling myself, I love you!

Share Your Heart

"I am more loving.  My heart is filled with loving kindness.  

I think only loving thoughts toward myself and others. 

No longer afraid or filled with doubts, I open my heart and share it with others."

~Melody~

Is there any way you can become more loving than you are at this moment? Can you fill your heart with more loving kindness?  Despite the fact that others are less than perfect, can you think loving thoughts about yourself and others? Sometimes progress in life is  measured by income or clothing size, but what really matters is how much you love while you are here on Earth. 

What matters most is your capacity to share your heart--to feel, receive, and be more loving. The most important thing to remember about your time here on Earth, is that your purpose is to love; in all its forms.  In order to love openly and freely, you must be willing to share your heart. You have everything you need to allow your heart to open wide and permit more love and affection to enter and exit. Let go of any fears, doubts, or blocks--recall you handed those over to God.

How can you Share Your Heart?
However you want! Perhaps you will chose to write a note to your mother, send a virtual hug to your best friend, or take a photo to share with others, give flowers to someone who needs a pick-me-up! Or maybe you will really catch the spirit of sharing your heart and put some 'from-the-heart' messages, written on sticky notes, on someone's door or wall to let them know you are keeping them in your heart & thoughts!  No matter how you choose to do it, the point is to share your heart! 

Today, allow yourself to be more loving, caring, and affectionate.  Look past flaws and imperfections and see only love...share your heart.

Open Your Heart

Open your heart

Replace brick walls with fences

Allow protection Angels access to the gate.

Trust that only the most worthy,

trustworthy relationships and situations gain entry.
~Melody~

As you open your heart to be fully present in your life, for yourself and others  you call for the miracles of healing, love, and tenderness. The benefits are immeasurable.  You were made by a caring loving Creator; made out of miraculous love.  By opening your heart to love, you encounter God. 

Many of us close ourselves off to protect against emotional pain.  If you have closed yourself off, ask for help in opening your heart in such a way that feels safe and secure. Ask your spiritual higher power, God, Angels, healer (whatever you choose to call him/her) to join you in removing the brick wall you have built around your heart. Brick by brick--one step at a time.  Replace the brick wall with a fence; a white picket fence would be my preference.  

Within this fence include a gate that can be opened when you feel safe enough to let love in.  Ask protections angels to stand guard at the gates, granting entry to only the most trustworthy relationships and situations.  Work with these angels, letting them know how you are feeling and your desires.  Keep in mind, angels are there to help you in all ways; but they can not act on your desires without your consent.

When Walking Away is the Only Option

Sometimes walking away is the only option

"Not all relationships are meant to be. None of us have just one person that is the ONLY person that we can be with and have a deep, soulful, happy relationship. Sometimes, it is better to let go and be open for other possibilities."    ~Melody~

Need clarity? Struggling with decision to let go or hang on? I will be available for phone & chat session Through out today & this evening.  Feel free to place a callback or schedule a prepaid appointment.
