Aloha kākahiāka a me Hau’ōli lā Pō’akolu kākōu. Nō ko īanei manāʻo īa ōukōu a pau i ka Āiwa lā. Ō kā maluhia nō me ‘oe.
Good morning and Happy Wednesday, everyone. I wish you all a fantastic day. Peace be with you.
Five years ago, the Halau relocated from California to Washington State in the Pacific Northwest rainforest. We were drawn to the Nature here … the flora and fauna … and more importantly, the portal of primitive energies that we find to be so vibrant and interactive. Enjoy this description of America’s beautiful Pacific Northwest countryside.
Yo mātaraṃ pitaraṃ vā,
jiṇṇakaṃ gatayobbanaṃ —
pahu santo na bharati
taṃ parābhavato mukhaṃ.
Though being well-to-do,
not to support father and mother
who are old and past their youth —
this is a cause of one’s downfall.

Aloha kākahiāka kākōu. Nā kōu Pō’alua ʻae ē hō’omanā’o ī kā nani ‘oe ī lōkō ā me kā waho. Ō kā maluhia nō me ‘oe.
Good morning to you all! Enjoy your Tuesday and remember you are beautiful inside and out. Peace be with you.
What will make you happy? This is a much easier week now that all three eclipses are out of the way. Focus is once again turning toward hopes and dreams and all things which can be emotionally fulfilling. The 10 of Cups is our Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy! card, and it is amazing what a difference a few days can make. This is also another marriage card, as is the 4 of Wands which just came out two days ago, and I am mentioning this for there shall be one more before the week is done. It doesn’t need to be a marriage between two people, but since the theme is so prominent I felt the need to mention it.
Our last trine with Jupiter and Neptune is drawing near this week, and the feelgood vibe seemse to be spilling over into the rest of the days. Humanity is showing…

If you look up the health benefits of CBD, you’ll find a very, very long list. People all over the world are using CBD (aka cannabidiol) for a number of conditions, including (but not limited to) anxiety, chronic pain, seizure disorders, arthritis, headaches, PTSD, and even leaky gut and IBS.
Is this compound what our brains have been waiting for?
I think there is a big old YAY!!! in here somewhere! You did it after all, you made it to the other side, that’s three eclipses down, now a couple of retrogrades to go. The 4 of Wands is pretty much the most positive card in the Tarot deck, just giving off a feelgood mood. So, now that you are here, what is it you need to celebrate besides navigating three eclipses? There can be actual parties involved here, but there do not need to be. This card denotes freedom and community as well and it has that whole ‘your vibe attracts your tribe’ thing happening.
I am reminded to speak of both sides of the story today, given that Mercury and Mars are both currently retrograde. No matter where you are in the world, it is possible to see some form of protest taking place; some may be peaceful…

Good morning, everyone, and Happy Aloha Sunday. Relax, have a wonderful day with family and friends. Peace be with you.
She thought she could now actually feel the Earth turn–not just imagine it in her head, but really feel it in the pit of her stomach. It was like descending in a fast elevator. She craned her neck back further, so her field of view was uncontaminated by anything on Earth, until she could see nothing but black sky and bright stars. Gratifyingly, she was overtaken by

Karma. We have all heard the word, but what does is really mean? The term Karma is derived from Sanskrit, the primary language of Hinduism, and is defined as action, effect and fate. Just like Newton’s law of ‘every action must have a reaction’, karma means the same. Every time we have a thought, speak, […]
