Divination
The Psychic Power Of Crystals
I’ve been surrounded by crystals, both in my personal healing and psychic work, since I can remember. I wouldn’t call myself an expert on the subject, but I do know that these beautiful stones are aesthetically pleasing, and powerful to have around.
Many crystals have been given to me as gifts, and it’s as if the giver always knows exactly what I need in terms of what the gemstones or crystals can help me with.
When choosing crystals and stones for psychic work or energy healing, I simply allow them to ‘speak’ to me. The vibration of the ideal ones for every purpose always resonates with me. I simply allow them to ‘speak’ to me, trusting that their vibrations will call me. The actual color of the crystal or stone can have quite a profound effect on the mind. For example, medical patients are known to respond to the color blue, when it is used decoratively in a recuperative environment, and criminals are known to be calmer in a cell painted in very pale pink.
I also own a small collection of crystal balls, and it’s as if an image materializes in my mind when gazing into my crystal ball, as opposed to what I see in the actual crystal itself. You might say it is a third eye opener!
I surround myself with amethyst for the calm it brings, rose quartz to bring in loving energy, pyrite for psychic protection and various quartz crystals to assist me energetically, and just because I find them beautiful to behold.
My bone-throwing divination kit consists of a large collection of stones, each representing a token or a symbol. Each stone has its own story and can represent a significant meaning, person, animal or place to me.
Astrology Forecast October 17 – 23, 2022
The Sun is spending its last week in Libra, so keep your focus on love, relationships, and balance.
Today’s Cancer Half Moon could make us feel more sensitive than usual and cause arguments and interpersonal problems at work. So, it’s important to take everything with a grain of salt and don’t make it personal. Think carefully before you react.
Fortunately, the Cancer Moon trine with Neptune in Pisces will increase our levels of empathy, so tap into your caring side instead and try to understand the other person’s point of view, instead of overreacting and taking it personally.
Tomorrow and Wednesday the Moon will venture through Leo, inspiring us to be more generous and heart-based. We’ll be in the benevolent mood to give and share, but be careful not to ignore your own needs in the process.
Thursday through Saturday the Moon charges through Virgo, bringing out our penchant for organization and details. The only warning here is not to get caught up in ideals or become too nit-picky. Keep your eye on the bigger picture and do not sweat the small stuff!
Saturn turns direct on Saturday, ending its four-month retrograde period and calling for us to restore discipline and order to our schedules. Combined with the Virgo Moon, we may spend most of Saturday clearing out clutter, tossing out things that no longer serve us, or planning a new project.
The Sun will move into Scorpio on Sunday, followed closely by Venus. With these two planets in the sign of the Scorpion for the next four weeks, our love of the spiritual, the mysterious, and the unusual will seek expression.
Seeing Spirit Signs In Ordinary Things
Seeing see spirit signs and meaningful symbols in ordinary things is a common phenomenon among the spiritually aware. One way that many of us see such signs is by observing meaningful shapes or patterns in ordinary things.
As a child, while having breakfast, I would often see faces or animals in my eggs or oatmeal. I never gave it a second thought that other kids might not see what I did. It even became a game for me to count how many things I could see. And to this day, my morning cup of coffee or tea with cream often produces all sorts of wonderful shapes for my amusement.
In the fourth grade, while eating lunch at school one day, I asked the kids around me if anyone else also saw faces in their food. Two kids said yes, but most said they did not. The three of us who did see faces agreed to see how many more things we could see in this way, and report back our discoveries to each other. It created a special bond between us that lasted throughout our school years. To this day we still sometimes compare notes.
My sister and I also created a game of face counting while taking long car rides with our parents. We were only allowed to count the faces and animals we spotted on our side of the car. Once we reached our destination, the one with the highest count received a prize, which was usually a small trinket from the local department store.
Even my older sister, who does not believe in much that cannot be scientifically verified, sees chariots in the sky. To this day, at age 78, she will say, “Look! Do you see the chariots and horses in the clouds?’ Much to my chagrin, I have never been able to see it myself.
Astrology Forecast October 10 – 16, 2022
There’s a beautiful balance to this week under the Libra Sun, starting with today’s energizing Aries Moon. This is a great day to get creative and be proactive in resolving any issues that have been holding you back.
But beware the Aries Moon square with Pluto in Capricorn this morning, as this transit is known to inspire intolerance and aggression. Stay calm and centered, avoid the drama, count to ten, and do not lash out. Also, check on your pets’ health, as they are more likely to not be feeling well this morning.
Things hum along smoothly under a Taurus Moon tomorrow and Wednesday, where we can turn out attention to restoring order in our physical worlds or attending to health and financial issues.
On Wednesday the Taurus Moon trine with Pluto in Capricorn late in the afternoon offers a special opportunity to do something fun or adventurous that is outside your normal after-work routine. Be spontaneous, take a different route home, stop at the park near your house, or call a friend to meet you at that new coffee shop downtown.
Thursday and Friday are all about socializing under the Gemini Moon, and we’ll also be able to do some great research and share new ideas with everyone around us.
Friday afternoon’s Gemini Moon trine Venus in Libra, as well as its trine with the Sun in Libra in the evening sets the tone for a perfect date night. Harmony, love and a cheerful mood will be at the forefront. Surprise your beloved or new love interest with a gourmet dinner at a fancy restaurant, as you will both enjoy the food more than usual during this Gemini-Libra energy interaction.
The rest of the weekend will reflect the vibes of the Cancer Moon, allowing us to focus on home, family, and relaxation.
Astrology Forecast October 3 – 9, 2022
Today’s Capricorn Moon should make for a highly productive and progressive day, so keep your nose to the grindstone as it will pay off handsomely!
If you lack the drive and motivation to make most of today’s energy, the Capricorn Moon’s trine with Uranus in Taurus will support us this morning with its energies of increased ambition, focus, attentiveness, and creativity. Don’t allow the usual humdrum to weight you down…there are always new and original ways to get things done!
The productive, determined approach will be especially wise today, because tomorrow and Wednesday could be fraught with interruptions, distractions and unexpected changes courtesy of the Aquarius Moon.
To make matters worse around midday on Wednesday, the Aquarius Moon’s square with Uranus in Taurus, as well as its conjunction with Saturn in Aquarius, may cause people to be difficult, uncooperative, moody and irritable, so it will be challenging to keep ourselves and others motivated. Do not give in to negative thinking or self-pity. And, if there is currently tension at home with your significant other, Wednesday will definitely not be the best time to try and resolve it.
Thursday and Friday should also unfold relatively smoothly under the Pisces Moon, but with the Moon preparing to wax full in Aries on Sunday, we may experience some unusual and synchronistic circumstances. Full Moons usually carry a few surprises with them as they near fullness, and this one will most likely be no exception. For example, you might run into a long-lost friend, or find hidden money while looking for something else!
Venus will go direct on Saturday after six weeks of retrograde motion, restoring a sense of peace and balance to our worlds.
Sunday’s Aries Full Moon also signals a time of release, so for the next two weeks, we will want to focus on letting go of anything that is draining our energy or slowing our movement.
Astrology Forecast September 26 – October 2, 2022
The Moon will dance through Libra today and tomorrow, balancing our movements and reminding us to move in authentic and honest ways. As well as being a productive energy, this is a good time to make new commitments to ourselves, and to our overall physical and financial health.
Today’s trine between Venus in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn, followed by a Venus in Virgo conjunction with Mercury in Virgo, will further boost our productivity and professional success with enhanced social interaction, good manners, a cheerful mindset, imaginative strategies, and a zest for life. Make the most of these aspects today to promote your business or career.
Wednesday and Thursday’s Scorpio Moon carries a soulful air about it, calling for us to examine our movements and align with our soul’s desires. Venus will move into Libra on Thursday, adding a deeper sense of unconditional love and gratitude to all our movements.
Thursday afternoon will also be a good day for business marketing and travel. The Scorpio Moon sextile with Mercury in Virgo is a highly favorable aspect for advertising, promotions, sales and customer relations.
Friday afternoon’s Libra Sun sextile the Sagittarius Moon will bring the work week to an early end for many of us, as it will likely make us feel somewhat passive and laid-back. Fortunately, it also fosters good working relationships, so the boss may be open to letting you leave earlier than usual. All you have to do is ask. Might as well pack it up and get the weekend started!
A light-hearted and fun-loving Sagittarius Moon will take us into a weekend full of fun social events or relaxing activities, allowing us a few days to regroup and recharge. Mercury will also turn direct on Sunday, ending its three-week run of computer glitches and setbacks. We shouldn’t relax yet though, as it usually takes at least a week for it to straighten itself out.
Astrology Forecast September 19 – 25, 2022
The astrological highlights this week will be the Sun moving into Libra on Thursday, followed by a Libra New Moon on Sunday.
We could find it difficult to get much done today as the Moon dances through emotional Cancer. Go with the flow and promise yourself to get back to work tomorrow, when the Moon charges into Aries and spends three days energizing our every move!
Interpersonal relations may be somewhat volatile tomorrow morning when the Cancer Moon opposes Pluto in Capricorn. Do not even attempt to discuss joint finances with your significant other or take that phone call from your toxic relatives, and steer clear of big egos and power struggles when you arrive at work.
The Sun’s move into Libra on Thursday sets us on a pleasant course of sharing love, reaping rewards, and easy-going times for the next four weeks. Immersing ourselves in our passions and exploring deeper connection in our partnerships will be overriding themes.
Friday and Saturday are great for organizing, clearing out clutter, and restoring order to our worlds under the Virgo Moon.
Remember to make a wish on Sunday under the Libra New Moon, which will kick off two weeks of possibilities and shifts, moving us closer to our dreams. But beware the Libra Moon opposite Jupiter in Aries early Sunday evening, as this transit is notorious for getting us into legal troubles and clashing with authorities. if you are planning to go out, be sure to wear your seatbelt, obey traffic laws and do not drink and drive! Also, plan your activity budget for the evening, as you may be prone to overspending and being too extravagant.
