“The Christmas Angel can fly because she took herself lightly during the Mercury Retrograde and didn’t have three christmas dinners”

Posted on November 25, 2011 by temple

Happy Christmas one and all!

Phew! I don’t know what this week (beginning 20th) has been like for you guys but I certainly felt Mercury revving up for its pending illusion of moving backwards through the universe/ Yes Mercury went on it’s retrograde rampage on 23rd, when (by the evening) I personally felt some sense of order and sanity start to come back in. Mercury continues on its backwards drill until 14th December. But I don’t expect to see improvements until 20th. For two reasons:

1) Mercury goes into ‘storm” for a few days either side of changing direction. This storm is like an intense introduction and exit from the flavour of the retrograde. Most people think phew! Mercury retrograde ends on 14th and I can just relax and go forward- sorry guys, best to take it slowly for a few days after.

2) Venus goes direct in Aquarius on 20th helping us all to restore some harmony to humanity!

Oh dear, I do sound like the bearer of bad news don’t I?! Let me explain a bit more. Mercury is the planet of communication, it rules that motion of backwards and forwards, so things like travel also come under Mercury. Mercury goes retrograde three times a year for three weeks. This is when Mercury “appears” to be moving backwards through the sky.

This means forward motions here on the daily planet can seem like they are going against the flow and yes, they are! So go with the flow- that flow is the inner form of communication. Communication is turning back on itself. You may find that things that lie beneath the surface, or that you thought were over aren’t as they rear up again. This can make us feel quite deflated. If this happens to you, please take heart. All that’s happening is that a time to go even deeper and do another level of healing on past issues is being presented. Mercury is known as the cosmic joker and it can be challenging to keep your sense of humour in a retrograde- but the message there is not to forget the brighter side of life, try anything you can to laugh at what’s going on- as long as you are heading the message and working through it you deserve to have fun along the way.

So just to clarify- Mercury retrograde is not a good time for starting anything new, signing contracts, starting new jobs, travels, buying houses/cars etc…
Please don’t panic if you need to do these things in this period. We are not meant to manipulate our life to live our life. Astrology reflects the natural order and flow of life, the information is to help us understand why things might be happening at a certain time. Take comfort in that there will be a message/gift in the experience in this time for you.

The best things to focus on during Mercury Retrograde are things beginning with “re”: Research, review, renovate, regressions and general going back over things. The outcome of which should be a clearer, crisper way forward.

Particularly this month as Mercury is retrograde in it’s ruling sign Gemini. This gives the flavour a double scoop of communication ice cream. If that’s not enough we also see a full Moon lunar eclipse in Gemini on 10th- and Uranus (the planet of sudden insights and in Aries – the fastest sign in the zodiac!) also turning forward ont that date PHEW! Expect a lot of things to come to light. This eclipse seems to be the pinnacle of the retrograde, reaching the depths and coming up with the best catches to bring to the surface ready for the beginning of the forward motion on 14th…

On a lighter note Jupiter the happy-go-lucky planet of indulgence turns direct in Taurus (which also loves indulgence!) on Christmas day! It seems all this spiritual, mental and mental work should pay off for a very hearty feast of celebration on a lot of fronts just in time for christmas- just watch that waistline! -note to self!

11.11.11- To Change Your World Change Your Thoughts

"Change your thoughts, and you change your world" -Norman Vincent Peale

Happy 11.11.11 everyone!

What is all this talk about 11.11.11 anyway?

Well we could be here all day couldn't we if we go into that! So that's what I am going to attempt to do in a very brief straightforward manner!

Eleven is a master number of re-alignment. So it is no accident that Strength used to be number eleven in the tarot. When the Rider-Waite deck was published the new association came for eleven and that was Justice. Strength and Justice swapped places of number eleven and eight. So you can see that there is a very strong intercorrelation with Strength and Justice. The need to be strong enough to stand for something- or you will fall for anything.

We also see what looks like 11 in The High Priestess but it is actually two 1's as The High Priestess is number 2. Nevertheless joining in the dance of Strength and Justice is The High Priestess- asking us to have the strength to listen to our intuition and trust it.

My birthday is on the 11th of the 8th, so I have very strong Strength and Justice energy- I also have a Cancer Moon which gives me very strong High Priestess energy. Before this year I did not have any feeling about 2012 apart from the feeling of nothing changing. But this year the High Priestess has been talking to me through a series of meditational insights and dreams that tell me different. They talk of the pole shifts mainly, we even see this in the last card of Tarot- The World pictured above. The world card is number 22 (a higher octive of eleven) but it is numbered 21, in this I keep seeing the shift between the year 2011 and 2012.

Some say that October 28th was the real end of the Mayan Calendar, all say that all underworld stages or waves of it are at least now complete. A couple of weeks before this date I had three nights of dreams. The first night spirit gave me a reading. They used cards and one I drew was "Inifinity reversed" The infinity symbol looks like an eight, so doesn't look any different reversed. It seems this was the message, if you look closely and get caught up in the object it all looks the same but if you take a step back the frame thats holding everything together (in this case the card) it tells you if its reversed.

So I said to them "Inifinity reversed? What does that mean?" and they replied that Humanity was infinity and next year humanity was going to shift and I had to work very very hard!

The next night I dreamt I was about to make it to my dream retreat, I was so close to it and couldnt wait to get in the car but I was being held back by people asking for help and then the same disembodied voice came "you are going to have to help a lot more people first"

The third night I was told I needed to get a 'Piscean Aura Spray for 2012" Very very precise! I went into a specialised aura spray shop like you do and the lady said to me "are you pregnant?" "I hope not!" was my knee-jerk reply. She continued...."Oh well even loosing a baby can be fun if you come at it from the right perspective!"
I was shocked!

I woke up and thought about Pisces, we are leaving the Piscean age and entering the Aquarian one, this is a big time on our planet, it only happens every 26000 years give or take a few either side!

In the Tarot Pisces is The Hanged Man, which is directly opposite The World and is the number 12. If we see The World as the polar shift she is actually freely dancing with it in complete harmony and protection of The World. If we look at the Hanged Man he is hung up on something unable to move forward until something shifts- this shift is his perspective. What the lady said in the dream suddenly made sense. If we were to stay in knee jerking fear we would manifest our own losses at lightening speed. The theme of reversing, shifting and changing our outlook and the way we do things was being repeated. In my waking life I still can't comprehend how exactly this is going to take place but those three nights felt llike three visitations not just three dreams. It was so strong in fact that my boobs grew so much they felt fit to burst! My hubby and I marvelled at my ever growing pair, but my hubby couldn't go near my pair unless he wanted a pair (of black eyes). For a week we were utterly convinced I was pregnant. But then spirit kept me awake all night channeling a whole new healing system to me until 5am in the morning! It encorporates Tarot, Astrology and Kabbalah- after that my period came and my breasts went back to their normal uneven weirdness!

They weren't joking that they wanted me to work hard were they?! Last month I was working until midnight each night and still they got me out of bed to work until 5am one of those nights. When asked about our busy stressful lives I am told that again that is a "perspective" that will be shifting!

I look at The Hanged Man card I drew and see it is indeed all hung up on The Tree of Life and I know that next year is about this healing system, so more updates will come through when ready...watch this space...and remember the message that is coming through is that very simple but powerful one- to change the world, change your thoughts....

There is more on this on the e-book that was channelled through me about Living Your Truth in 2012, you can get a copy here: http://www.initiationworkshops.co.uk

And just to let you know (if we make it through the shift!) then my first book 'The Transformational Truth of Tarot" is due to be published by O Books next summer....

Astro Tarot Channel for November

So we begin November as always with the Sun in mysterious Scorpio and on All Hallow’s Day, also known as All Saints Day it is a time to remember any higher spiritual beings and link in with our guides and ascended masters. On November the 2^nd we have the waxing moon coinciding with All Soul’s Day, similar to All Hallow’s Eve (Halloween) it is a day to remember the dearly departed souls that we know. As this waxing moon is in Aquarius we may indeed find ourselves wishing to be free of our earthly constraints and feel free. However on this day Venus also moves- into Scorpio which will whisper to us the need to go deep within ourselves and find the love instead of the escapism. Perfect for balancing out what could become quite floaty energy.

This I feel sets the tone for the month. Particularly in the lead up to 11.11.11, which many believe to be an important date for ascension on our planet. The Moon again takes part in ramping up the 11.11.11 energy as it reaches full on the night before at 20.16- in Taurus. The Moon is most comfortable in Taurus, so again we see the otherworldly easily shining down on earth, particularly as taurus is indeed an earth sign. Jupiter is also retrograde in Taurus, helping us to really keep our feet on the ground.

Back to 11.11.11 we see Mars shift that day out of Leo into Virgo. Another earth sign, one of purity and service. Mars in Leo can be quite passionate and all consuming! Mars in Virgo brings a bit of humility to our actions signalling another change in consciousness. Uranus is also retrograde, in Aries, which Mars rules. So once again keeping any erratic ungrounded outbursts of ego under control- one hopes! Neptune in Aquarius- also retrograde, making sure we don’t float off with our visions. Chiron is in Pisces- also retrograde, making sure the healing is done within and containing any victim/martyr complexes or once again escapist tendencies.

All in all this month it feels like we are being anchored deep into the earth and into our emotions whilst downloads of extremely high frequency spiritual shifts come through. In a way you could picture us all like trees this month. We need to have deep, deep roots if we are going to be able to reach up and out to the universe without toppling and it seems the universe is giving us the deep roots, the heart centre and the high receptive branches.

Saturn continues in Libra- long term lessons about fairness, justice and karma continue to resonate through our universe, as does Pluto remain in Capricorn for its long term stint in overhauling our material plane..

On 24^th Mercury also turns retrograde (until 14^th December). So if you have any deals to sign, travels or important communication to do, or expensive new things to do it may serve you well to try and get it completed before the famous god of communication and travel turns into the trickster. Just to make it clear it only becomes a trickster if we don’t understand how to work with it. Just remember retrogrades arent about doing anything new, they are about anything beginning with “re”: Research, rebirth, regress, renew, renovate, redecorate, re-do, review etc…. and as Mercury is about communication and journeys and re- means to go within this shift on 24^th signifies a time for great inner messages and progresses, just like the new moon in Sagittarius echoes the on next day.

The Tarot video of this month’s reading can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/user/transcendentaltiff?feature=mhee#p/a/u/0/dOFY0eISj0Y

Sessions and workshops to help with this process in November commences with Samaya Boutopolou’s meditation course, http://www.initiationworkshops.co.uk/psychic/6-week-meditation-course.html starting on the 2^nd but late joiners can be accomodated. Followed by my talk on trusting the universe, at the Brighton centre of spirituality on 3^rd November http://www.meetup.com/London-Initiation-Workshops-Mind-Body-Spirit-Meet-Up/events/33214312/

Samaya then holds a Magnified Healing course on 5^th and 6^th, perfect for these magnified times http://www.initiationworkshops.co.uk/healing/magnified-healing-weekend-workshop-attunement.html and I hold a Usui Reiki Second Degree at Mysteries beginning on the 6^thhttp://www.initiationworkshops.co.uk/healing/reiki-second-degree.htmlJust in time for 11.11.11 Hayley Rogers talks us through awakening ourselves at Mysteries on 10^th,http://www.meetup.com/London-Initiation-Workshops-Mind-Body-Spirit-Meet-Up/events/33369372/On the evening of 11.11.11 I will holding a special Masterclass with Debbie Winterbourne so those budding Tarotists not in Egypt or Glastonbury we have a portal here! http://www.initiationworkshops.co.uk/psychic/tarot-masterclass.html

On 12^th we go within with Cheryl-Lya as she shows us how the angels can help us with our relationships http://www.initiationworkshops.co.uk/healing/enhancing-relationships-with-help-of-angels.html And at the cornish psychic cafe this month we create our own portals through Mandalas on 15^th http://www.initiationworkshops.co.uk/psychic/psychic-development-circle.html

On the Sagittarius new moon we have Al showing us all how to take it to the next angelic level with angelic reiki 3&4 http://www.initiationworkshops.co.uk/healing/angelic-reiki-3-and-4.html And Hayley Rogers finishes off nicely with Empower Thyself on 26^th http://www.initiationworkshops.co.uk/healing/empower-thyself-and-adept-program.html

Love and blessings
