Full Moon in Cancer: Freedom in Relationships

Full Moon in Cancer: Freedom in Relationships

Happy New Year! We just went through an exciting and intense full moon gateway on January 6th. Many of us are still feeling it. This moon was about clearing emotions related to issues of the past in relationships, especially those involving home, family and other close connections. If you have unfinished business in any of those areas, you are probably seeing it come up in some aspect of your life. And if it’s affecting you, it’s likely showing up in a LOUD way. The energies of this early 2023 time are helping us get to the root of it all, release it, gain the lessons and get full clarity for moving forward.

This is an auspicious time to heal and make breakthroughs with longstanding conflicts or obstacles in any relationship. Work it out with your loved ones! Even if it feels daunting or you are doubtful about results, big leaps can be made if you make the effort to reach out and communicate. Finally have that talk and even if it ends up being an argument, with the theme of this Cancer moon energy, it will still serve everyone. In most cases, hidden issues are being identified and as all the pent up emotions are let loose, old perspectives, beliefs and behaviors can be released too. Don’t be afraid of the intensity in the midst of these conversations…stay with it, stand your ground and speak your truth!

Reunions, resolutions and reconciliation are all possible right now. And no matter what happens, you can walk away with better discernment and wisdom, knowing more about how to have healthier and more harmonious relationships in the future. In the meantime, with the sensitivity of this Cancer moon and all that can occur, take good care of yourself. Retreat, review, reflect and allow for integration by being in nature, resting, playing or exercising. During the next two weeks or so, you can expect some ups and downs, and just when you think things look like they are going in a certain direction they can suddenly change course. The final outcomes with regard to some current relationship situations will likely be unknown for a little while. Give yourself up to two months to get the full integration, understanding and results.

A big piece of what is playing out personally and collectively, has to do with the needed balance and equality between the masculine and feminine. When I speak of the masculine and feminine, I’m referring to the two energies that exist inside all of us, men and women alike. And at the same time, we are seeing a lot of this conflict show up between men and women. This might look like a power play or battle of the sexes in a lot of cases. The feminine has been doing some deep healing work over the last several years. It was strongly felt for many of us in last year’s Venus Retrograde cycle. In this new year, the masculine is awakening and healing. The distorted or wounded masculine can appear dominating, narcissistic, greedy, corrupt, deceptive, unemotional, overachieving, overactive and closed-off or rigid in a lot of life areas. Sound familiar?

The healing for the masculine might involve a revealing of the hidden issues or agendas, along with taking responsibility for them. It has to include being vulnerable and willing to slow down, feel, and connect with and consider others.  It might also mean that one needs to make amends for past deeds. As he heals, the masculine will disperse the power he’s been hoarding for himself and make it available to others in an equal and balanced way. How does his healing begin? In many cases, by being held in the safe space of love and compassion, particularly by the feminine.

This is why it’s so important for the feminine to forgive. Complete forgiveness leads to the openheartedness that allows for the divine to be present and the healing to occur. The feminine can also help the masculine in his healing when she sets healthy boundaries. In this way, she often helps clarify or reveal many of the issues or conflicts. In order to do this, the feminine must be empowered and courageous enough to step forward, reveal what needs changing and why, and be firm. When the issues are up front and known, the masculine can begin taking responsibility for them, changing how he operates and making amends. This is what we need to see more of in our world. Imagine the changes that can happen when full awareness about some of the biggest issues, especially those that involve oppression or harm to others, occurs on big scale level?! The world will operate very differently when there is no longer any allowance for anyone to attempt to implement unfair, greedy, harmful or corrupt actions. Instead, there will be consideration and collaboration with all.

A healthy masculine energy feels supportive, grounded, focused, assertive, respectful and accommodating. It radiates integrity, inner strength, and leadership ability. Ultimately, a healthy masculine energy is balanced by the feminine. This is especially true on an internal level. This means that both men and women are utilizing their masculine and feminine qualities fairly equally. So for example, on a day-to-day basis, use logic and intuition. Find time for doing and being. Value and work with intellect and emotions. See how relationships are just as essential to life as individualism. And most importantly, let go of control and allow things to unfold naturally. This is otherwise known as being in the flow!

We can all look inside ourselves and our relationships to evaluate and make changes that support equality, balance and harmony for the masculine and feminine. In this way, we are benefitting our personal lives and the collective reality. The interaction of these energies influence every aspect of our lives and world. This brief, power-punch time of healing and release gives us the opportunity for gaining the understanding, unconditional love and compassion to propel us forward into whatever future we desire. Use it wisely!

 

Uranus Retrograde in Taurus: How can we help the animal & nature kingdoms?

Uranus Retrograde in Taurus: How can we help the animal & nature kingdoms?

There is so much happening on planet Earth these days! One of the topics I feel passionate about is how we can assist the animal and nature kingdoms. Right now our astrology supports us in viewing our current reality in a new way and finding solutions to challenges or issues. Since August, the planet Uranus has been retrograde in Taurus. Uranus is the planet that activates awakening. It shakes things up for us, brings change, helps us find innovative ways to breakthrough limitations or blocks. Taurus is the sign that can represent the earth, money and other valuable resources. So when the planet Uranus is retrograde that would indicate that we are given a time to reflect on what changes might be possible with areas of our lives that are connected with money, resources and the earth.

There is a lot of information out there about how to work with money and other forms of abundance in new ways that can benefit our lives. There are even new forms of currency available, like bitcoin for instance. We are also becoming more aware of alternative ways to take care of our physical bodies. Health and balance are becoming very important in our relationships and ways of living. So how can we apply all of this to the earth?

We can start by deciding what changes need to be made to help improve the earth. How could we help our wild and domestic animals be healthier? It’s a good time to review how we’ve been handling things thus far, and ways to make it better. Most of us can think about this and know what the problems are. But the influence of Uranus would want us to come up with innovative and unconventional solutions. We need to look at the deeper issues, know the causes behind the problems and how can we remedy them. This might seem daunting when we think of major global concerns like toxins, pollution, and depleted natural resources.

When we consider many of the dilemmas with wild animals, we know that the cattle and meat industry is a big part of it. Wild horses are taken off their lands to make room for cattle. Cattle are slaughtered for their meat. Many other domestic farm animals live in tightly restricted environments and we consume their eggs and milk. This also affects the climate and the earth in different ways. Because we are all connected and one, it ultimately affects us as well.

These are some of the really big issues and yet there are still more. So you might ask, what can done? This is where the innovative or creative geniuses come in, even the most alternative. Those inventors will come forward during this time period we are in now and over the next 10-20 years. There is technology in many forms, including the crystalline kind that can be helpful. Many other physical healing tools will become available. As our collective consciousness and DNA continues to shift, many more of us will easily be able to greatly decrease or discontinue our consumption of meat and dairy.

The earth is also in transformation. So some of the natural disasters and the dying off of particular species are a result of her going through this natural change. But she also has hidden helpers and protectors who are serving in the unseen realms. These beings are assisting her and many of the wild animals in overcoming much of the seemingly unsurmountable challenges influenced by our traditional human ways. Many of us lightworkers are also helping by offering energy healing and other supportive services to ground the light where it’s needed and promote transformation, while inviting Mother Gaia to turn on more of her 5D (crystalline) aspects and structures.

Much of this is part of the awakening influence of the planet Uranus and we can work with it to also benefit our animals at home. Even with our dogs and cats, it is worth pondering how we can connect or communicate with them in a way that serves their greatest well-being. In these changing times, many people are now seeking alternative resources to improve their animal’s physical and emotional health, behavior and their relationship with them. This can include anything from learning animal communication skills to using herbs, flower essences or other forms of nontraditional healing like acupuncture and massage. We are connecting with our animals on much deeper levels, recognizing them as equal partners. We know their value and worth. In these times especially, many can now see how their animals have unique personalities, souls, talents, and destinies, just like all of us.

And on that note, as we are aware of the love and devotion we have for our own animals and loved ones at home, we can just as easily apply that to the wild, aspects of earth and the world at large. Love is the greatest power there is and it can move mountains, break barriers and create miracles. We can all use this power of love in any way we choose. So ask yourself, how do you prefer to use it? Reflect on your passions, your desire to serve. What lights you up or brings you joy in life? This is the time to use your gifts, talents and desires, to bring them out in the world to benefit all. As the astrology supports us now, the possibilities for making great strides, changes and breakthroughs will be clearly evident in our collective reality in the years to come.

With love & blessings during this holiday time! ~Heather

Energy Forecast for November: Total Lunar Eclipse on Nov. 8th

Energy Forecast for November: Total Lunar Eclipse on Nov. 8th

Since the end of 2022 eclipse passageway started in Mid October, big shifts have been occurring personally and collectively. The first solar eclipse on the 25th of October ignited the activations and furthered the illuminating and empowering process for many of us to deepen in our expansion and begin this next phase in our journey.

We are now feeling this upcoming lunar eclipse energy…in Taurus! We’ve been prepping for it over the last couple weeks. It can feel enlivening and exuberant, yet unsettling and chaotic at the same time. It’s sort of like living in the twilight zone; very surreal! We literally feel the changes happening moment to moment, day to day…and we know a new horizon and trajectory awaits us. The question is..can we stay present with it? Can we allow for these big leaps in consciousness and life shifts? Can we listen to, trust and follow our intuition and guidance right now, no matter what?

You may have already experienced some form of drastic change or you feel it coming. Or perhaps your life feels more spacious, dreamlike and blissful, with many opportunities showing up for you in a variety of life areas. If you haven’t already made the internal or external shifts you are being called to, now is the time to prepare. Go inward, get clear and start planning. Reflect on what you really want and deserve, use your imagination and mystical resources to envision it, and map out your first step(s). For some, it may feel as if a rug has been pulled out from under them, while for others it’s a conscious decision to implement these new beginnings. These novel fresh starts may be smaller or larger depending on your personal life path. But all of us are about to feel the transformation happening collectively.

These collective shifts may be felt in several ways. One of them has to do with the astrology. Mars is retrograde right now and through January 12th. This is providing an opening for the feminine to lead. With the strong Uranian influence, there can be unexpected surprises, breakthroughs and a dissolving of established patterns, structures and limitations. Sudden and radical change is possible. So in any area of your life where the feminine energy needs to be acknowledged, seen and utilized, let it come forth. This might involve life areas that require or affect your intuition, emotional expression, openness or relationships. In the bigger picture, it’s about what’s coming up in the political scene with the upcoming election and the results influencing women’s rights.

In addition, many of us are feeling the collective shifts in our relationship with the earth. We are drawn to assisting and connecting to her more. She is leading the way in this time of Ascension, and we can all benefit from following her energetic example. This is the time to get out in nature, take walks, meditate and just be! So much intuitive information, awareness and healing can come in for you to help you in this time of accelerated change. With Mother Earth as our ally, we can transcend any obstacle, pattern or dilemma.

She is continuing her rise into the higher realms as well. Particularly during and after this time of the lunar eclipse, because it is Taurus, we may see more physical changes on the earth. This might show up as weather and climate shifts, or some earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or storms. All of this is part of her natural transformative process. Her shifts might also affect the internet, so we should plan for some interruptions there as well. And lastly, this eclipse happening in Taurus will also influence old and outdated structures and systems around money. As these systems begin to breakdown, new ones that support the greater whole will come into being.

All of this is related to the idea of worth and value. It’s getting us to focus on self-love, our worth and what we value in our world. The importance of those groups previously oppressed–women, minorities, gay/lesbian, the nature kingdom, animals and so many others subjected to social barriers can be boosted up and supported. But are we willing to take action on this? Are we willing to step up to the plate? And what resources can we use to move forward? The eclipse in Taurus will highlight this as well. We are becoming aware of additional resources inside of ourselves and out in the world that we have long forgotten. It’s the time now to recognize and reclaim them. This is for our personal benefit and for that of the greater collective. So remember in the upcoming weeks and as we wrap up the end of this year…it is up to us. This is the time and we are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

Eclipse Blessings & Love! 🙂 Heather

July energy update: In Honor of the Freedom Codes!

July energy update: In Honor of the Freedom Codes!

As many have recently celebrated the 4th of July holiday, themes of freedom are arising. We have also been receiving higher frequency downloads of light and more freedom codes since the beginning of this month. There is a quickening in the awakening of the collective, and our animal and nature kingdoms are equally progressing in their evolution. Take time to rest, recalibrate, tend to your emotions, and stay adequately hydrated during this rapid upgrading of the body and soul! These higher level light frequencies activate our crystalline DNA and expand the crystalline light body. Getting more sleep, replenishment and drinking lots of water helps to facilitate the process with ease. Self care will be extra important all month long!

In honor of the freedom energies coming in during this time and the developing unity consciousness of our collective, I attended a rally on Friday, July 2nd to stop the July 12th scheduled roundup of the Onaqui wild horses who live 40 miles southwest of Salt Lake City. During roundups, horses are chased down by helicopters, separated from their families, and trapped in holding facilities to be sold later for adoption or slaughter. Some of the horses get injured or killed in the brutal roundup process, in particular the very young, old or ill.  The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) claims that the horses are depleting the vegetation, so therefore the roundup is necessary to protect the rangelands. But there are 26,000 cattle and only 500 horses grazing on these lands. These roundups are inhumane and unnecessary!

These horses, like all living beings deserve the same rights we have. They deserve to be respected, honored and treated equally. They should be allowed to stay healthy, free and connected to their families in the wild. I don’t believe any of the creatures of the wild should live in captivity. Their health and the balance of the earth depends on their being able to roam free in their natural habitat. This in turn affects our well-being. We are all one!

I got to visit the Onaqui wild horses while I was in the area on Friday, which was a truly precious and heartwarming experience. The photo above was taken during my visit with them. These are innocent and majestic beings! The Onaqui are also a well known group of wild horses who are visited by tourists throughout our world. They are shining the light on this terrible fate that many wild horses throughout the U.S. are now facing.

I am writing about them now because in this time of expanding unity consciousness, it is more important than ever that we protect and stand up for those who are oppressed and cannot speak for themselves.

UPDATE: As of July 9th, the roundup has been delayed until July 13th. We still have time! If you feel called to help, go to https://www.savetheonaqui.org/ and click on the Take Action Tab to write a quick line to Secretary Haaland and President Biden and ask them to call off the roundup.

In the meantime, the energies are amping up as we prepare to enter the Lion’s Gate portal of transformation that opens on July 28th. This is a time for stepping into greater empowerment, freedom, prosperity, manifestation, and acceleration of our soul’s purpose. If you’d like extra support in navigating your life during these times of change, check out the details of my upcoming, “Support with Worldly Changes Online Class,” on Wed. July 21st from 6:30-8pm by clicking here.

Summer Blessings and love,
