Release The Power of Your Words By Lorrie Kazan

Science of Mind teaches us the power of our words and thoughts. We use our words to prophesize, or simply declare our future. Catherine Ponder tells us if there's something or some area of our lives we feel we've outgrown, we should begin to speak words of release.

"Spirit in me now frees me from all resentment or attachment toward or from people, places or things of the past or present. I manifest my true place with the true people and true prosperity now." (Catherine Ponder)

I use Catherine Ponder's affirmations, which I often shorten or alter for my own use, because they are so direct and powerful. The following two affirmations have worked well for me. Like many of you, I have difficulty letting go, whether it be of old resentments, people, me being right or whatever. I've seen myself resist accepting things as they are, all the while knowing that acceptance is the opening to transcendence.

"I let go of everything and everybody who is no longer a part of the divine plan of my life. I now expand quickly into the divine plan of my life where all conditions are permanently perfect." (Catherine Ponder)

Affirmations deal with the core truth of who we are and what we're about, so no, they're not lies. They simply are not duped by images in the material world. These positive declarations may unearth all the thoughts that conflict with them, but those thoughts can simply be acknowledged and released every time they arise. Who said they were the truth? Really, who says what's true and false about your life and your plans? (Could it be you?)

Studies show that we have consciousness in the womb. Under hypnosis, subjects have remembered conversations that took place between their parents and/or thought processes going on within their mothers during the time the subject was in utero. Parents have acknowledged the accuracy of these "memories," and more sense has been made in the "subject's" life as a result of understanding what they were experiencing even before birth. When does consciousness begin? Some people say it's at conception or even before.

The central point for us is knowing that we can change it. If my mother hated my father and those feelings trickled down to me, or if my family embraces a particular lifestyle, am I stuck with it? Not necessarily.

The first step is awareness, for from awareness comes transcendence. I believe it was in 1931 that Heisenberger discovered that the presence of an observer inevitably changes the observed. Energy affects energy. Therefore, the sheer act of observation has repercussions.

Here we start with observation and we move into declaration, or vice versa. For instance, I declare that I am divinely guided to love and success. People want to give me money. I have lots and lots of money. Money emanates from everything I do. I have the "golden touch."

At first the words may be foreign, but I say them so much that my unconscious mind becomes convinced and takes that task on. I then begin to have experiences in line with this belief. I've created a new causation.

The Universe responds to my unconscious programming. Now, however, I've consciously programmed the unconscious. To manifest my declaration, I've immersed myself in prosperity thinking. I eat, sleep and drink prosperous thoughts, and what I focus on is what will increase.

How are you doing with the process? You can start, or recommit, or simply expand by using some of the affirmations cited here, or you can create new ones of your own. Let the power of your words and thoughts be an inspiration to you first, and then to others. Begin to question, to be willing to see, not with judgment but with curiosity, interest and love. What do you have to lose?

Diverging Paths By Carrie Hart & Quado

Today’s message is in answer to a reader’s question. The question is:

I've been with my current partner for the past eight years. I've maintained this relationship hoping that it would become more. I've always wanted to have a deep spiritual love connection with my partner, but over the years we've always seemed to be traveling on two separate paths. We've created a very comfortable home and have accumulated a lot of 'stuff' together and for the most part are very happy. My problem is that I've always felt like I want more, something deeper, more meaningful and more connected. I share very deep spiritual connections with three of my closest friends and yet I don't have this with the one person in my life that I desire it most. We just decided this evening that we would separate and go our own ways. I want to feel clear and confident that I'm making the right decision.

Quado, do you have a response to this letter?

Yes, of course, of course.

Everything in your letter says that you know that this is the right decision. It is simply difficult to make such great changes. But there comes the time when you must follow your heart and leave the comfort of established relationships to venture out and give yourself the freedom you need to move into a fuller expression of who you are now.

You are walking down your path. And there are many others who may walk a time with you. They happen to be heading the same way, and at this particular time you are in tune with each other, you are walking the same direction and find yourself in the same place, and how nice it is to have that companionship, to feel someone at your side as you head out into life.

But then there comes a time when you are being called to walk a different way from your friend, and your paths begin to diverge. You can try to walk the other person’s path or you can try to pull them over to yours. You can, as many people do, just live together while going your separate ways emotionally or spiritually. And for some, this can work.

But the fact is, whether you decide to stay together physically or not, you are off on different paths, you are each walking now the direction you need to walk. And you are picking up new companions on your new path, and perhaps your friend is doing the same.

And it is possible that at some further place in life, your paths may again come together. But for now, it is what it is., and you must do what you must do.

Even if you try to stay on this old path you were on together, you will be continually pulled to your new direction. You will be far happier if you just allow yourself to walk on the path toward which you are drawn. You will be far happier if you will just surrender to the call which is within you, and walk the direction you must walk.

No one has done anything wrong. No one has broken faith. There is no betrayal. It is just the way life is. Some people will be your companions for many, many years. Some for just a time. And all you can do is let go gracefully when the time is here and be true to your own direction.

Whether you choose to stay together sharing a home can be a different issue. People have various reasons for making unique living arrangements. But even then, allow yourself to travel your own path with integrity and allow your friend to do the same. Take the freedom you need to follow where you are called, and give the freedom necessary for others.

Reach out a hand to the new people who are coming in from other sides. Let go the old hands which are being pulled a different way.

Life is change. Life is growth. And if you live it with integrity, if you follow your own path and your own dream while also being respectful of others' needs and desires to do the same, you will do well. Less energy is wasted in allowing life to flow as it needs to flow, as it does flow, than in fighting against both the forces of life and your own nature.

Surrender. Surrender to yourself and the call of your soul self. Surrender to the life which is forming all around you, the new life which is calling you, the path over here, the one which seems so much brighter and clearer and easier. Yes, easier. For when you are walking the right path, things are easier. When you are not fighting your life but instead are within the flow of it, everything moves with more ease and grace.

Let go gracefully, without blame. No one is to blame. It is simply time when it is time.

And know too that at the highest level, nothing is ever lost. At the level of your soul self, you are together at all times with all those who have shared your life. As souls, you are together now and always in love, peace and joy. Nothing is lost. In this physical life, things change, things begin and end. Let that be as it is and needs to be. Let that flow as it naturally must flow. Let go in love, let go in grace, let go in peace.

And just live as your heart tells you to live.

The Crystal Portals By Steve Rother & the Group

Greetings from Home.

Welcome, dear ones. We are so joyous to be with you this day. The energy of Home is surrounding all that you do and spreading to every place that you are at this time. You have gathered together as original spiritual family of light and we tell you, welcome Home. You are creating Earth in a new fashion. You are creating the energy of Home right where you sit, now. As each one of you reaches out and holds the hand of the one next to you, your energy changes. It works in a fashion that you are not accustomed to up to this point. It does not go one to the other adding one, two, three. It goes one, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand. It becomes exponential as one adds to the other and your energy grows. That is the magic of Home. That is the magic that you carry within each and every one of you. You have set something into motion this day, for even by gathering in your own pure focused intent, you are creating something beyond your understanding. For now the crystal portals are opening. It has created an energy around Earth itself, that goes far beyond the understanding of most of you. So we wish to take our time at this point and explain to you a little bit of what is happening with the crystal portals.

You know we use the word crystal quite often for it describes very clearly the vibration of Home. The vibration of ‘All That Is’ is crystalline in form. It is not until it actually passes through the central sun itself and becomes a focal point and branches out into what you call light. The crystal energy has now been coming in through your sun in the solar flares and has been storing in the tectonic plates of Earth, helping to magnify the vibrational capabilities of Earth so that she, too, can make the shift with you to the next vibrational levels. That is well underway. But now, even more is happening. Through your own focused intent, many of you have created vortices of energy that reach into the very depths of the Earth herself. Many of you have been drawn to certain areas where you knew that you have had to be there for one reason or another. Those of you who have experienced this are the guardians of the vortex. For it simply means there is a vortex of energy which you, personally, were guarding. You, personally, were responsible for keeping the vortex open and in motion. Sometimes just being in that physical location can create the desired result and help you to fulfill that contract. Many of you have been pulled to certain areas of the Earth for that specific reason and now that is changing, for the vortices themselves are changing. The energy around Earth itself, is now shifting dimension for your collective vibration of humanity is leading the way as each one of you sets your intent to move to higher vibrational status. It not only moves you and those that also set their intent, but it raises the Gameboard on which all of the Game is being played. That vibrational rate of the higher Gameboard of the New Planet Earth is now setting the stage for things that have never before taken place.

The New Divine Plan

We tell you, dear ones, there is no grand plan in place. The divine plan is being scripted by you every second of every day. You are literally creating the ground that you walk upon before your foot hits the ground, and that is magic beyond comprehension, for you are now holding the power of creators while you are still in physical bubbles of biology. That is what the Game was set up to see; to see if you could hold or re-member your true magnificence even though you came in and put on the veil of forgetfulness. No, dear ones, you quite often think of yourselves as human beings trying to figure out a way to have a spiritual awakening, when in fact, you know in your hearts you are spiritual beings trying to cope with a human awakening. That is a big difference. And as each one of you find some of the keys, all we ask is that, like us, you pass it on to the next. You open the doors not through preaching, not through being evangelical, but sometimes just by smiling. Sometimes just by holding the energy and knowing your true connection to Spirit. That is the gift of the new healers on the New Planet Earth, for each one of you, especially those of you who have been holding the energy of the vortex, your Game is now changing.

Many of you are feeling drawn to move to new places and different opportunities. That is because the many vortices that have started are now turning into portals. These portals are dimensional holes between time and space. That is the reason you have begun walking backwards in time. That energy has allowed you to create a new relationship to time and space. Ahh, yes, we know. Many of you think that time continually shrinks as there are now only eighteen hours in the day. That is because you have not learned to control it yet. The reality is, you have more control over time and space than you ever have had before as human beings yet you are simply unaccustomed to using that at this point. Give yourself some slack, as the Keeper says. Allow yourself to acclimate to this energy comfortably. And when you learn a key that works for you, share it with someone else. Offer it freely and openly as often as possible.

Crystal Portal - Either All of You Go, or No One Goes.

When each one of you moves up the ladder of vibrational advancement, you make space for one to come up behind you. Please understand it is not the idea to go to the top of the ladder and then ascend. It is only when each one of you takes your place on the ladder that the whole ladder moves forward. That is the vibrational advancement of Earth in the new energy. For we tell you, no longer will it be that one moves forward without the other. Either you all go, or no one goes. You were not expecting that, but that is by your own design, for you have set the energy to move forward together and it will happen now, beginning through the crystal portals. For as these portals continue to form, they begin connecting. Many of you have the idea of creating your own portal and actually begun by focusing your intent and by taking something from one portal and planting it purposely to create another portal. Many of you have done that in the energy vortex we call Mt. Shasta. You have specifically taken a piece from one portal to purposely plant it in another hot spot of energy. As you do that, you create an intentional vortex of energy which will turn into a portal. Those portals will be used for many things as time goes forward, but rather than get too far ahead of ourselves, let us show you some of the practical uses of the portals that you will be experiencing right now.

Now Time in Crystal Portals

A portal is a dimensional hole through time and space and we tell you that inside the portal you are in ‘Now’ time. Inside the portal, it is entirely possible to walk backward in time. In the beginning, as these portals started forming, they were few and far between. And even though many of you fell into them quite by mistake, you did not know what to do with them. You did not know what was happening to you. But as more of this crystal energy comes into the Earth and prepares the Earth for the connection of its shift along with yours, you are seeing a vibrational advancement at this time that has never before played out throughout ‘All That Is’. Yes, we know that some of you are waiting for the magical day when all of a sudden you will wake up and be in the fifth dimension. Guess what? You are already there. You just do not know how to use it. We speak of the vibrational change, we speak of the shift of Planet Earth and we speak of the shift of humanity. Please understand as we speak those terms, it is looking two to three hundred years from now back at this exact time, you will see that humanity has taken a right turn and all that was important before is not important any longer. Everything takes on a new meaning at that specific point. As that happens, you redefine new roles as Lightworkers. This redefinition is one of the things that we will ask you to do as you purposely start crystal portals. You, as creators, have the opportunity to take a crystal and create a portal in your own back yard. Those of you who feel drawn to this, we ask you to play with that right now. As you create these portals they will connect up with all the other portals that have been started. An intricate network of crystal portals will now form on Earth connecting all dimensional realities of Earth. Those of you who have been doing this over the last three or four months have made a huge connection already through time and space which has allowed the Earth to pull the collective vibration even higher. Ahh, but there is more, for now there are the practical uses for these portals. Inside these portals one is actually in the ‘Now’ time where past present and future all share the same space. Although it is not always possible to live inside the portal, it is possible for you to place your intent inside the portal at this time. Since the portals are all connected, the intent must also be for the highest good. Please understand that sometimes you do things so easily and yet you do not understand how powerful it is. Creating a simple portal of your own design with a crystal and purposely sending your intent into that portal will now have astounding results.

Walking Backwards in Time – Meeting your Future Self

One of the most joyous things that we have seen is that many of you have created crystal portals in your own sacred space. There are no less than twelve of you listening or reading this message right now that have found crystals magically appearing in your space. That is because they have come through the portals. They are the result of ‘you’ in another timeframe trying to give yourself a signal, trying to say, “I am here. Just take a look. I am right here.” How would you like to meet yourself in an interdimensional reality? How would you like to meet your future self? That is what the crystal portals will do if you know what to look for. Can you imagine what it would be like to walk backwards in time and actually see your present from a perspective of your future? Can you imagine what it would be like to walk forward, knowing that you are walking into your past? Knowing what you now know, what would you do differently? Now is the time to ponder these questions as your definition of time will stretch father than ever before. That is walking backward in time.

Ahh yes now we have started something. . . your brains are functioning at such a pace at this moment, we can see them and we will answer some of the technical questions because so many are asking. Understand that walking backwards in time has to do with vibrational light. It has to do with the relationship of time and space and light to what you know as the golden mean. The golden mean is the mathematical equation that places the energy known as light in a linear time frame so it can appear to be expressed in finite form. We tell you that these are relationships that go throughout all of nature. Due to the activation over the last three years of the Crystal Energy entering from your Sun, there is a new relationship to light. Therefore it is this new light that will show you the openings of the portals themselves. Please let that simply sink in, for as you play more and more with this, you will understand. These doors will open in their proper time. But understand now that it is entirely possible for you to walk backwards in time, seeing your future, seeing where you are going and you can do so through the crystal portals.

Take a crystal that is special to you. Place within this crystal your energy and your intent as if you were going to send a message back in time to yourself. Then place that crystal within this sacred space of a portal. At some point this crystal carrying the highest intent will magically appear somewhere else in your time line. In fact, what is happening now, is that many of you are finding crystals that you yourselves have not yet placed in the portal. This is the beginning of learning to walk backwards in time.

Labor Pains & The New Humanity By Daniel Jacob & The Reconnections

Hello, My Dear Friend,

These are difficult times, indeed. Many of you are crying out in panic and physical pain. We feel this pain, and immediately dispatch assistance to comfort and offer guidance to you. But often, you cannot feel it. Many more are discouraged, locked in a profound state of despair. You wonder whether you will be able to make it through this. Were we mistaken when we said that Mother Earth is laboring to bring forth a New Humanity from her womb? Will the "baby" ever arrive? Will the Mother even survive?

We recount these oft-expressed feelings and questions in this way so we can remind you how close what you are all doing matches the labor experience of a human mother, as she squeezes forth new life from her body. She wails, breathing deeply, and feels as though she must surely die! In this way, she momentarily embraces the very "Root Essence" of Third Dimensional Existence--she becomes a Bridge between life and death.

This happens within each of you, day in and day out. You breathe in, you live. You breathe out, you die. You pulse fresh blood to your body's organs, you return spent blood to your organs of filtration and elimination. In, out, the pulse of life--daily, hourly, moment-by-moment. A woman in deep labor is being called upon to let go of something that she has been cradling and nurturing in her womb for many months. It has become a part of her. How can she now separate herself from it? But she must! For this baby will not be denied. The baby demands his or her place in this world! And so, the labor continues.

We are the Reconnections. We represent all those parts of your Expanded Self that you had to forget about in order to become human. We have never been very far from you, just far enough. Within our ranks are contained all of the necessary "bridge concepts" that will connect you to what is called The Multiverse. You are so much more than you think you are! And that idea alone forms a new stimulus for our communication with you today.

[some content removed - for full channeling click here]

OTHER SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Many of you are familiar with writings, set forth by this physiological channel, regarding a condition known as "Global Acceleration Syndrome." This term is not a medical diagnosis, per se. Rather, it is an instrument of identification, that can be applied to your life, when no medical diagnosis (or treatment) seems to help you with your "symptoms." At that point, you begin to realize something. You're pregnant. You're pregnant with the NEW YOU. And, even though there may be medicines and treatments to help your pregnancy go smoother, which one of you expects to be "cured?" You aren't really sick. You are with Child.

The transformation from planetary human to Earth Mother is not limited in experience according to gender. All of you have both male and female energy within you. All of you are capable of being pregnant with the rest of who you are! Accept it, and move on--or deny it, and falter. The choice is yours.

Your first step of Reconnection has been to acknowledge everything and everyone as an aspect of yourself. Mentally, if not emotionally as well, you have done this. Those who haven't done it will need to begin doing it now. After that, you begin to connect to the concept that your body has become correspondent to the Planetary Body. "As above, so below" has many expanded meanings, as you are about to discover! To go through this, you must begin to expand your concept of yourself beyond the first-person level, and begin to identify with all levels. The Earth is not just something that you live upon. It is now becoming something you are. Do you understand this? Is so, please continue. If not, contact the Reconnections Office for assistance in this regard.

We will offer some additional expansion, at this time, concerning what many can expect to be happening in these next few months (or years, if you're a late-bloomer). This is not an exhaustive list, and you are encouraged to report any additional symptoms to the channel, that we might expand upon their meaning as well. Here are a few of the main signs of Physical Transmutation, when they appear in someone who cannot be relieved through ordinary medical means:

FATIGUE: Your body feels tired, even when you have slept the whole night through. You drag yourself from task to task, wondering if you'll ever feel joy in your life again. What is happening here, in most cases, is your nervous system has temporarily blown a "fuse," due to a rapid influx of energy. The body can survive more infusions than you might imagine, but the emotional body will only tolerate so much before it goes on "tilt." The fatigue that many of you are feeling is often a result of that very thing. Feeling yourself to be "electrified," you shut down your nerve receptors, which results in feelings of chronic tiredness and malaise. Energetically, you've blown a fuse.

DEPRESSION: You feel terrible, locked in a dark dungeon of despair. Nothing in the world is going "your way." There is no part of life that excites you anymore. Your loved ones call out to you, but you'd just as soon not answer. You remember love, but you don't often feel it. There is a sense of isolation, even when you are in a room full of people. There are many things we have already shared about depression--one of which is the fact that you are, quite literally, being depressed........held down, seemingly against your will! It's like the world has it's thumb on you. This is happening so that your expanding internal nature will not follow a "normal" course and cause you to try and become a "God" on your planet, rather than uniting with the planet, itself. Your "Dark Side" energies, which are your source of internal magic and wizardry, are not accustomed to being encapsulated in human flesh. They feed on freedom, and they cannot abide the idea of having to be in one place, at one time. But they must, even as the "lighter" aspects of you must become willing to leap into the "dark" of an unknown future, filled with unknown terrors and possibilities.

MOOD SWINGS: Your internal motivational system, at times, may feel like a "train-wreck" of emotions and desires. You want "this," but you also want "that." Normally, both "this and that" run counter to each other! Fire and ice. Oil and water.........all that sort of stuff. But now, your expanding heart and mind have made room to embrace them both! So be it. And by the way...........Of course some of you are manifesting the idea of being "bi-polar." Isn't the Earth bi-polar? Why shouldn't you be? You have the raging tides of the sea, and you will also have the stillness of a mountain lake. You are learning to become it all, and that is causing many of you considerable discomfort. It will become balanced in time.

SUICIDAL THOUGHTS: Many a mother has gone through feelings, at some point in her pregnancy, of wanting to abort the process, and walk away. Things aren't as you planned them! It's a lot harder than you thought it would be. These viewpoints are only natural, when one considers the big picture. Those who are called in to "comfort" you, in your distress, cannot always grasp this. They see suicide as a "break" with reality.......an escape. This is because they are not pregnant, themselves. They are asleep, and may remain so for some time. But to us, the pondering of death in the midst of giving birth is a sacred remembrance. It is a holy cognition. You are a Bridge Between Life and Death. Though we do not recommend following a suicide path to completion, we validate the need which many of you have to ponder it. Part of you is dying, even as another part is beginning to live.

LOSING YOUR GROUND: You are so tightly anchored to the 3D Plane that your transformation guides cannot access delicate programming mechanisms that would infuse you with new life. You are practicing "transformus interruptus!" While the alarm for soul awakening is sounding, some of you are "hitting the snooze button" and rolling over to go back to sleep. Your allegiance to job, spouse, family, physical health, hobbies, possessions, or simply having fun is blocking that path to the expansion which other (sleeping) parts of you crave. And so, in a moment of time, some of your "grounding forces" are simply taken away. You become ill, lose your family, lose your job, or get a good deal of your possessions wiped out. This isn't meant to be punitive at all. It's just part of the process of being opened up. It brings you forward, to live life on the edge! What seems like disaster actually ends up working in your favor.

HYPER-SENSITIVITY: Here is a difficult situation, indeed. Even as your world is becoming more strident, demanding, noisy, complicated, and callous to its citizens--your own inner sensitivity is increasing by leaps and bounds. At times, it is as though fingernails are scraping across some planetary chalkboard, leaving your nerves jangled, and your emotions on edge. Many of you loathe the idea of going outdoors. Others experience panic attacks when they are in crowds, or visit markets and shopping malls. It feels as though someone has taken a bandage off a tender area of your soul! It is a sunburn of nervous exhaustion, that makes you want to climb under the covers in your bed and hide.

INSOMNIA: You are mixing and mingling the sleep-state with waking consciousness. You are neither here nor there, but somewhere in between! During normal sleep schedules you are wide awake, thinking, planning, or merely feeling despair. During daytime work schedules, you are plagued with drowsiness and a feeling that you have been awake for a thousand years. Waking or sleeping, it sometimes feels like a nightmare.

SUPPORTED, BUT NEVER CURED

This is but a partial list of symptoms which may accompany the Birthing of the New Humanity. Some of them may be indicative of some appropriate medical diagnosis, and if you can undergo some kind of treatment to relieve the distress, we encourage you to do so. However, even if this is accomplished--there will come a time when your "water will break," and serious birth pangs may come upon you. In each individual, the effects are different. This is because each of you is attuned to a different part of the Oneself Planetary Body. Every cell of your being is holographic, and is in direct interface with every other cell. But the Veil of Forgetfulness can hide this, as it focuses your 3D persona into the tasks that have been laid out before you.

You are changing. Humanity is on the move! If you are on this Transformational Track, your physical body may be supported, but it will never be "normal." Why would you want to be cured of this condition, anyway? You are being woven into a vast network of electromagnetic tones and impulses.........the Motherboard of the Ages! And the end result will be magnificent beyond your wildest imaginings!

Astrological Influences for March

The following information is excerpted from the New Millennium Being - An Astro report by Gururattan Khalsa. To view the report in its entirety please click here.

SURRENDER IS THE THEME

While the Sun is in Pisces, from the 18th of February through the 18th of April, surrender is the theme. We have examined and worked with every other mode of being and doing. Now there is only one option left - Let go and let God. We need to take advantage of the last phase of the cycle to connect with the Divine and consciously live in this uplifting and liberating reality. We need to connect deeply with the Divine so we can remember IT during the next eleven lunations. If not, when the Sun enters Aries, we will continue living like we are the only one, feel totally responsible for everything, and ask "God who?"

Surrendering to a higher power and letting go of control is hard for most of us. Sometimes I feel that at best we give lip service to this concept. My experience is that most of us have no real clue what surrender is all about and how to really accomplish this enlightened feat. For a month a year, Pisces offers to be our teacher and to patiently reintroduce us to the realities of the Divine Plan, Divine Will and Divine Order.

TIME TO RELAX AND RELEASE

Don't expect a bearded teacher offering us well defined-rules on how to play God's game. We won't see Maitre Pisces because this cosmic fish is swimming everywhere. We will know IT is here (and there) only by being very attentive, relaxing and feeling its omni-presence. We can see IT only with our third eye which is able to penetrate through the veil of physical illusion.

Pisces let's us know that to try to rationally understand the Divine is a booby trap. And don't ask WHY?! Pisces reminds us that all questions and answers are illusions of the mind. Sounds frustrating? But when we let go enough to allow ourselves to accept Pisces' higher wisdom, our mind can become illumined.

Let's ease ourselves into the Pisces relax and release mode. Start by not setting new goals or initiating new projects. Instead, focus on consolidating where you are and being satisfied with what you have. It is time to withdraw into ourselves, to meditate and to let ideas percolate from deep inside ourselves. Our non-goal is to "do nothing" and simply be with what is.

While the Sun is in Pisces we need to give ourselves permission let go of control. We can't figure out what to do at this time. Don't force action in areas of your life where you feel frustrated and think that you aren't making in progress. The "surrender, do nothing" strategy can be a welcome relief in situations where nothing else has worked. Where you have tried everything else, give the "it's up to you Universe" approach a chance.

During this time we are advised not to push, prod, or be aggressive. Don't worry, a lot can happen without exhausting yourself. Time is not going to stand still. We are just not supposed to TRY to make things happen. If we can let go of even some of our obsessive control trips, the powerful results made possible by allowing a higher power to do ITS work can be impressive. We can witness that something other than ourselves is in charge. Surrender and trust become
easier as we witness the magical hand of the Infinite. The more we realize that we are supported by Unknown forces, the easier it becomes to let go.

The following information comes from Ron & Robert Baker and their Monthly Weather Report. For more information and to visit their website, see after the article.

This month joins the 1st chakra (world of form in results) with the 7th (highest soul purpose).

Discernment and freedom of choice with forgiveness and the direction for world service will also be the focus.

We will begin to realize WHY we have been attracted in certain ways the past and begin letting go of this to move into a deeper sense of purpose and world service.

This will be a time when you deepen your inner PURPOSE, releasing form as the source in a more final way. Deeper direction of your talents and abilities into the world will begin to take place as you connect to this inner soul purpose and experience less need for validation.

Meaning, value and purpose of relationships will transform. You will let go of so many power struggles in your relationships. You will find yourself healing many old imbalances in relationship.

The pain of our old illusions will be faced more fully as well. There is no ideal form in any way that allows us to fulfill part of Self that does not get sourced from the inside. As you face your old pain and move through it in forgiveness and acceptance, you will find the experience within yourself of clear purpose.

Our Spiritual ideals may awaken as we tap the 7th chakra in self-inspiration and revelation of the truth of who we truly are. We then sense a greater balance within our lives.

We will become more aware of the cycles and patterns, dispelling the trauma cycles of our lives. As the feelings were dealt with in February, we will now be able to make clearer choices. For the first time, we will begin to experience what it means to have freedom of choice. Up to this point, there is typically a reference to the outside for a result. We will edit the truth of Self much less if we use each month to prepare for this month.

Our creativity will awaken in new ways through the higher will and Divine Plan of 7th chakra.

Karmic issues will rise with the soul grids. We will see more clearly the people who have served us as protagonists and antagonists. As we face these cycles, we will see the ephemeral hold of attraction and how arbitrary it is. This will bring us into transformation of the sexual force and move us into the force of free choices.

When the sexual force is directed from the inner to the outer, we begin to reveal the charisma of the soul. This comes from a connection to the truth of who we are.

There will be energy movements in the lower part of the body – hips and pelvis, lower back into the legs and feet. The stomach will still be active. Upper chest and the back heart chakra will continue to have movements.

Smile at yourself.
There is no need for condemnation here.

Have you ever cleaned out your closet? Did you notice that as you begin to empty this and that from your closet you create a mess, chaos and debris? Then you have to rearrange and reorganize everything back into the closet. A fair amount of energy is expended, to put a closet in order.

So it is with you, right now. Your closet (of life) is being emptied and everything appears in a state of disarray. You are deciding what to put back in your closet and what to throw out.

Let go of the old. Say thank you for when and how it served you. Once reorganized, your closet will have new space with which you may choose to fill with new and different things.

What will you put in there?

Your Monthly Australian Animal What's your message this month for your sign? This month's readings are by Dekora

Aries (March 21 - April 19) - Redback Spider Dear Aries, you are being reminded that all life is interconnected. Thus, what you send out into the world is going to return to you. Your thoughts, actions and choices impact all those who come into contact with you, so be aware of what you are sending out and try to keep it on the upbeat! You may also like to take care this month to make sure that nobody is trying to deceive you, or that you are not allowing yourself to be caught up in someone else's drama and self-deception..	Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) : Bat Libra, it is time to let go of the past and allow yourself to step into a new and prosperous life. If you have been carrying around any emotional burdens, it is time to deal with them. If you can't accept your learning experiences for what they are, at least agree to release and let them go so they no longer harm you.Take time to meditate this month and get in touch with your inner wisdom and spirit guides, you are being presented with new insight and opportunity.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) : Bilby What are you afraid of Taurus? What are you holding on to that you are afraid to let go of? This month Bilby encourages you to take a long, hard look at your fears, and to ask yourself "Do I have a reason to be afraid of this, or am I just creating this fear to stop my spiritual advancement?" Look hard at what you are judging others for, and what you fear from others, make sure you are not judging them to avoid judging yourself.	Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) : Dolphin Scorpio, this is the month to get in touch with your inner self! The Dolphin is a perfect example of "going with the flow" as it flows with the currents of the ocean, not resisting, but dancing with it and taking joy in all life. You are being encouraged to stop fighting, stop resisting the flow. Instead, embrace the will of the Universe and allow yourself to be divinely guided through your own intuition to the path that is best for you and bring yourself back to unconditional love.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20) : Frog Frog encourages us to take the time to allow feeling and emotional healing. It is ok to cry and let out the pain that you are feeling, do not be ashamed. We all go through periods of sorrow, sometimes they are unexplainable. Often we will be ungoing emotional healing on a different level that we are not consciously aware of, but it is happening. We simply feel the effects of wanting to cry and let go. Honour these feelings and know that healing is taking place.	Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) : Platypus Sometimes it feels as if there are just too many people trying to get our attention. Platypus will dive down into the riverbed and hide without any shame if he is feeling swamped by others. He encourages you to make sure that you take time for yourself. Keep your own counsel and don't feel forced to share yourself around this month, you need time to recoup and get in touch with your own needs and desires, and you cannot do this when everyone is pushing theirs on to you.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22) : Eagle This is a month to allow yourself to trust in the spirit of the Universe, Cancer! When you trust and follow your own intuition and guidance, going with the flow of the Universe you will find wholeness in your life, for you will be shown how to balance all aspects of your existence if you wish to look. Stop trying to control everything, because you can't, instead trust that you are being looked after and that you have everything you need, for this is true, and you are not alone.	Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) : Falcon Capricorn, you are about to receive some important news or information, pay attention! The Falcon urges you to look for the messages he is sending your way and to listen to all the intuition you receive. Welcome the news that is coming your way because Spirit has sent it and you are being presented with an opportunity for learning. Take time this month to meditate, or do whatever you usually do to connect with your inner self and wisdom, so that you may clearly hear the messages coming your way.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) : Bandicoot Leo, it is time to start looking at your inner home. Are you providing yourself with a healthy environment both inside and out? If not, what can you do to bring yourself into balance? If you do not treat your self-esteem with the same respect you do your body, or vice versa, then you weaken yourself. It is time to empower yourself, don't let others dominate you, and to step into your own personal power that will assist you in making the best choices for you.	Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) : Potoroo It's Spring Aquarius! Time to get outdoors and allow the newness of life to engulf you. Potoroo is a reminder for us to allow the newness of life into our world, to embrace change and new possibilities, to enjoy nature and the changing of the seasons. Every new moment brings discovery and excitement, allow this to inspire you! Welcome new opportunity into your life, so that you may continue learning on your spiritual path.
Virgo (August 23 - Sept. 22) : Dingo What are your intentions this month Virgo? Are you coming from a place of respect and honour for those around you? Dingo brings with him an element of deception, this could be caused by you, or you may be caught up in the deception of others - pay attention, examine your motives, and make sure it is not you who is being less than honest. Bring yourself to a place of respect and honour.	Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) : Tasmanian Devil Pisces, the Tasmanian Devil wants you to be determined and stand your ground this month! You need to be aware of your needs and to make sure they are being honoured and respected. He brings aggression your way; just make sure you harness it and use it in a positive and constructive way, not lashing out at those around you.
