“It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one destiny, affects all indirectly.” ~Martin Luther King Jr.

Happy Full Moon :)
“The first Full Moon of the year falls in the watery and intuitive sign of Cancer on January 12th, 2017.
Being the first Full Moon for the year, this Cancer Moon is going to be highlighting part of the journey that we are destined to take in the next 12 months. It is also going to be calling on us to step into our truth and embrace that inner power that we all have inside.
This energy is also amplified due to a Grand Cross formation that is preparing to take shape in the sky on the same night as the Full Moon.
This Grand Cross energy has been building for sometime and is part of a much bigger cycle that is playing out over the course of the next few years.
In fact, watching the planets closely it is almost like they are planning something, it is almost like they are whispering secrets to each other in order to create a revolution.
In order to create a revolution, the darkness has to rise to the surface. The darkness in all of us and in the world has to be brought out into the light for us to see. It is only then that we can realize the truth of what is before us.
2016 forced us to do a lot of processing and clearing, but with this Full Moon and the energy of 2017 we don’t have to work as hard. All we need to do is sit back and watch which direction the Universe wants us to go.
This Full Moon is definitely an interesting one to kick off 2017. It indicates that this year is a time of growth and change. It indicates that this is the year we lay down our roots for the revolution, for the revolution that we want to create in our own lives.
While pressure and tension may be amplified at this time, it is only so we can grow and it is only so we can see what needs to crumble and what needs to stay.
Trust your intuition during this time, allow the energies to wash over you and guide you. Embrace them, because when you do, you will see just how perfectly everything is unfolding.”

The Numerology of 2017, shows that this year will bring new beginnings and much activity. The pioneering spirit makes way for new inventions, new discoveries, or new creations. It’s energy will bring originality, new ideas and new leaders. It’s going to be EPIC :)
“2017 is a 1 Universal Year that promises major changes, increased energy across the board on a worldwide scale, and new directions for many of us, as countries reach out to each other or turn their backs on age-old alliances. This will be a year of technical breakthroughs and vast economic and political shifts. However, while those changes make all the noise and get all the attention, the most significant transformation will be an unprecedented rise in global awareness concerning idealistic and spiritual matters.
When you look back throughout world history, some years stand out as pivot points. This year, anno Domini 2017, will be such a pivot point.
During 2017 the number1 rules: a driven, forceful, confrontational, and often divisive number, the 1 can be a troublemaker like no other, and there is no doubt we will see reflections of its often crude and insensitive attitude — not unlike a bull in a China shop. But when it comes to pushing for a new direction or making progress, there is no more powerful number than the 1. Pushing hard and fast is its most obvious quality, so hold on to your hat, we’re in for a ride.
In short, 2017 is the first year of a nine-year cycle that, by exposing much that was kept in the dark, diminishes the power of the large (corporations, governments, religious institutions), and empowers the small (individuals, communities, grassroots activists). Although vastly different, the nine-year cycle starting in 2017 is not unlike the 1960s, when the voices of individuals became loud and clear and people discovered their power and used it; when art, music, and philosophy experienced a renaissance that still echoes through our lives today, and when spirituality reached greater heights than ever.
We have talked about “the information age” for decades, but it hasn’t really started yet. That distinction goes to 2017. This is nothing to be afraid of. On the contrary, unless you would rather hide in the dark than dance in the light, you should welcome it with excitement and an open mind.”

Happy New Moon!
“Take a step back and look inward. The new moon of December 28 & 29th, closes the curtain on 2016 – for better or worse. This new moon offers a potent dose of reflection on what we have gained and lost this last year, and plants a seed of determination for positive growth in the year to come.
In Vedic Astrology, the new moon falls in the area of the sky called Purva Ashadha, which is said to hold the undefeatable power of the human spirit. Among these stars lies an infinite wellspring of energy that flows outward from the section of the sky called the galactic center. These stars are part of the constellation of Sagittarius – the fierce archer with perfect aim – who inspires us to explore new realms and realize our dreams.
Purva Ashadha is also symbolized by an elephant tusk and is blessed by the Hindu elephant god, Ganesha, who is revered as the “Remover of Obstacles.” This new moon has a special ability to break through blockages and transform old habits.
The weeks to come carry a heavy weight for world karma. Mars and Venus have joined Neptune and Ketu – the tail of the transformational Snake of Time. This alignment could cause powerful shifts on a collective level and create confusing and possibly inflammatory situations. Try to be extra patient with those around you, and don’t hesitate to reach out to those who may need support.
This is the final new moon of the year and the weeks to come will offer a unique momentum. Make use of this potent time to dissolve the past and realign yourself with your dreams of the future.”

Happy Full Moon!
“The December 13-14 Full Moon falls in the airy sign of Gemini and will be culminating events, feelings and emotions that took place around the Sagittarius New Moon back in November. This Full Moon is actually another Super Moon that has been part of a series focused on bringing illumination to the world.
Whatever has been buried beneath the surface of your life has most likely come to a head in the last few months and this last Super Moon is going to bring the final point of illumination for 2016.
This is extremely powerful energy which is going to be helping you to purge all that you need to let go of so you can welcome in the new energy of 2017 with open arms and a fresh perspective.
2016 has been a heavy year of endings and letting go, whereas 2017 is a year that is set to be full of new beginnings and fresh starts.
This December Full Moon is now going to be one of your final assessment points where you will be able to review what you have learned and what you are going to be bringing with you into the new cycle.
If you really feel ready to shed, if you really feel a desire to release and let go, if you really feel a desire to transform into your absolute and fullest potential, if you are ready for this, the Universe will offer you an invitation.
Pay attention to what comes up for you around this Full Moon. Whatever lessons or themes you have been working with for the last year will most likely rise up into full consciousness and by being aware and ready to release, you will be able to access this energy.
Be gentle with yourself around this time and give yourself space to fully reflect and let go. Work on nourishing yourself under this Full Moon and enjoy the amazing illuminating energy it brings.”
