Words are very Powerful.

Anyone who does what I Do in this world knows very dearly just how inherently powerful all words are. We do not know their power until they are stated and create a different energy for those who we are trying to convey a message.

At this time, the collective who I refer to as being called #AllUsGuys has begun to make the world aware of the fact that our word Aloha – IT IS NOT FOR SALE!  

And I do not want to get into that right now. What I do want to teach you about today is the inherent power within the words that we think, speak, hear…words are very powerful. They are the things that make up our thoughts and we all know – Thoughts are Things.

Thoughts, as well, have words in them, and all those words tend to vibrate at their own…

Card of the Day – 8 of Wands – Thursday, August 2, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

During Eclipse season, and especially when we see both Uranus and Mercury involved, events can happen quickly and it is very often difficult to keep up with the news. We have already experienced two Eclipses and have one more to go…it will be a New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse in Leo on the 11th. Having a third just adds more wind to the tornado that is Eclipse season; it comes through and rearranges lives forever.

With Mercury also retrograde, it would be a good idea to double- and triple-check information, no matter the source, but especially on the internet. There is a swirling of activity taking place and it is very easy to become caught up in things, and never knowing where you are going to land when all of the spinning stops. Had this card come out at the tail-end of this month, I would be more inclined to…

Lifestyles  |  Lammas: Where Did It Come From?

The excitement of the harvest season has permeated the fabric of history since the agriculturally based societies were first established. Having weathered the delicate beginning of the planting stage and found mercy from the myriad catastrophes that could befall the crops, Lammas heralded the onset of the time of tremendous work met with equal reward. Wheat is thought to have been the first grain to translate out into deliberate agricultural production and the festival of the wheat harvest was of great significance.  […]

Entering the 11:11 Portal  | Matt Khan

In my last energy update, I discussed the numerical signs and synchronicities that confirm you are aligned with and entering the 11:11 portal. Such signs included seeing 1111 on license plates, 11:11 on clocks, any repeating numbers, as well as ascending sequences, such as 123, 456, or 789. These signs indicate that your inherent spiritual impulse has been initially awakened leading you on a journey to return into full alignment with the light and embody your  soul as an anchor of 5D unity consciousness.  […]

Indigenous Zodiac Correspondences

Animals are an important part of Native American culture and there are representations of just about every animal imaginable in the symbolism of Native American horoscopes. We’ll focus primarily, in this article, on the animals most closely associated with birth months, in other words, the zodiac of Native American tribes. Similar to the Greek horoscopes that we use today, Native American tribes held the belief that the time of year a person is born into will directly affect a person’s personal characteristics. Similar to the animal symbols of the modern horoscope, the Native one is also represented by animals. Here is a list, by month, of the animals and their traits. […]

Yogā ve jāyatī bhūri,

Card of the Day – Knight of Swords – Monday, July 30, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

As we approach month’s end, I am sure most would say that recently life has felt like a veritable sh*!storm, full of obstacles and challenges, and all you can do is keep battling your way through the energies. The month will be ending with a void-of-course Pisces Moon, so, while you may be chomping at the bit to move forward, it looks as though you may need to wait until August 1 when the Moon will be in impulsive Aries. Any sudden moves on your part, without forethought now, are likely to be met with more obstacles and challenges.

Considering how badly  you wish to move forward, and are willing to rise to every challenge you meet, you may need to hold back, at least until tomorrow. Remember, everything changes and nothing stays the same. The Knight of Swords has a tendency to do things first and just run headlong…
